Chapter 67: Wandering Eyes (13) The Plague

It was sunset when Chen Junyan stumbled back to Chen's Mansion, and thanks to Chen's more or less reputation in Ping'an Town, when she told the old woman that she was a person from Chen's Mansion, she immediately pointed out the direction for her to go home. She couldn't bear to leave her self-reliant old woman on the empty streets, but she couldn't do anything.

What a tragic thing it is, I can't even find a beggar to beg, so I can only wait for death. The old woman should have clearly understood her end, so she never even said a word of help to Chen Junyan. Or maybe she expected the end of the entire Ping'an Town, since no one could escape in the end, it was better to suffer a moment more than to step into the road of reincarnation as soon as possible.

The appearance of Chen's mansion was no different from when she left, and the people in the mansion did not notice the coming of the disaster at all, and they still ate and drank what they should eat, drink, and sleep without delaying for a moment. However, everyone's expressions were different when they saw Chen Junyan's appearance, she left in the morning from the backyard over the wall, and now she walked in from the gate of Chen's mansion in a dignified manner, causing them to look like they were hell.

She wasn't in the mood to explain anything to these people at the moment, and besides, there was nothing to explain at all, so let them be happy as they would think. A poor group of people who don't even know that death is coming. She walked calmly and calmly towards her room through all kinds of strange eyes.

Liumu said that he had lived a life without worries for thousands of years, and the only thing he regretted was about Chen Junyan. If that **** could have known the importance of Chen Junyan to him earlier, he would not have thought he was smart enough to reject her heart. Even if she refuses, she must be sent straight home, instead of worrying about the strange feeling in her heart after she has sadly left.

I think that old woman is actually right, in the final analysis, these people in Ping'an Town are dying of their own desires. But if they are born as human beings, how can they not have seven emotions and six desires, and if they can really live with a pure heart and few desires, what is the difference between them and the immortals who have attained the Tao and ascended. From this point of view, the origin of this disaster in Ping'an Town still comes down to Liumu, who improved his cultivation through these crooked ways, and he is destined to be punished by heaven one day.

Returning to the previous topic, the reason why Liumu regretted not escorting Chen Junyan back to his house was because this was the real reason why Ping'an Town did not avoid the disaster. Although he wanted to obtain all kinds of things from mortals that would be beneficial to his cultivation, this did not include life. In other words, it didn't do him any good that all the people in Ping'an Town died, he lived by their faith, and without their faith he would only get weaker and weaker.

The old woman Chen Junyan met was the one who wanted to get weaker and weaker, and she was also the culprit who took the lives of everyone in Ping'an Town. That old woman is not an ordinary old man, she is the embodiment of the plague, although her cultivation is not high, but she is good at hiding her whereabouts, in order to prevent any possibility of being discovered by Liumu, she deliberately found an old man who was already full of illness for herself, so that Liumu really did not notice what happened in Ping'an Town under the mountain.

Chen Junyan was the first person to contact the old man, and she also became the first to be infected, and the plague spread in Ping'an Town with Chen Mansion as the center. At first, the townspeople thought it was just an occasional chill at the change of seasons, but then one after another people died of the plague, only to find out that they had an incurable plague. At first, they did not despair, because there was still a sacred tree in the town, and the sacred tree could save them.

Because of Chen Junyan's words that day, Liumu stayed on the mountain and entangled himself in what he did that day was wrong and right. It wasn't until hordes of plague patients came to him to make a wish that he knew that something had changed so much in the town of Ping'an. But he couldn't fulfill their wish this time, they were infected with the plague, which meant that they would all die soon, without lifespan, without aura, what else could he get from them?

When he rushed to the backyard of Chen's mansion for the first time, Chen Junyan was dragging his still breathing body to paint on the desk. On a huge plain brocade cloth, a towering tree is gradually taking shape.

To say why as the first person to be infected, she can still survive at this time, this is all a blessing. She has been with Liumu for a long time, and her body is contaminated with Liumu's demonic energy, and it is these demonic qi that help her at the most critical time, allowing her to live at least half a month longer than ordinary people.

Chen Junyan looked at the eyes that appeared in front of the door, and squeezed out an ugly smile on his pale face: "You...... You came, I thought ...... Think you'll never want to see me again? ”

Liumu rushed in front of Chen Junyan, and suddenly there was a huge panic in her heart, was she going to die, like those in the town who cried to him because of the plague? He nodded slightly: "Yes, I'm here." After a pause, he said, "How could I not want to see you again, in this world, the person I want to see the most is you." ”

Chen Junyan smiled slightly when he heard this, and there was a faint sparkle in his eyes. She closed her eyes to suppress her tears, and only when she felt that it was almost time did she open her eyes and say, "Look, am I good at drawing?" Does it look exactly like you? ”

Liumu looked at the painting on the desk, and finally understood how uncomfortable it was to be sad. He provoked: "We have known each other for so long, and you are finally willing to paint for me, but why do you want to paint my body instead of my human form?" ”

Chen Junyan stroked the lifelike towering trees on the brocade cloth, and every branch and leaf was extremely clear. She whispered, "I wanted to draw it and make a screen and put it in the house so I could see you all the time." If I painted you as a human being, I would be sunk, where is there an unmarried woman with a portrait of a man in her boudoir? She tried her best to describe it in a light-hearted tone, as if that way she wouldn't have to be so upset.

Liumu was uncomfortable because of such a fluttering tone, he grabbed Chen Junyan's hand, and only felt a cold chill to the bone. He held his hand tighter, hoping that it would make her feel a little warm, "What's so good about looking at paintings?" Wouldn't it be better to have my real person show you in front of you? ”

Chen Junyan smiled softly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to finish this screen, can you help me make it and put it in the room after I die?" ”

Liumu shook his head: "Who said that you will die, you will not die, I will save you." ”

Liumu She didn't lie, even if it was against the principles of heaven, but at this moment, he didn't want to care about anything, he just wanted Chen Junyan to survive, and it would be good if he could accompany him for a moment longer.
