After all, Granny Qian was old, and the excitement passed, and she was busy in the stove room for a while, and she was already a little tired, so she said to a few people and went back to the main room to rest.

Even if there are four monks in this small courtyard who live in the foundation building period, not counting Xue Yuan, whose identity cannot be exposed, there is also a demon palace descendant Su Run, one of the top forces in Kyushu, and now living in the main house of this inconspicuous private house is still the owner of the house, Granny Qian, who has no cultivation talent and even has little longevity.

No one objected to the decision.

In fact, Granny Qian, who was so enthusiastic about them, only after listening to Zhou Yan's introduction to them and the arrangement of the room after entering the door did she withdraw some of her apprehensions, and happily became simply happy for the company of more people in the future.

After Granny Qian returned to the house, the four people in the courtyard did not disperse separately, and were still sitting at the table.

Su Run looked at Zhou Yan: "Earlier, you said that you want to go to the south of Su Zhen to help and study the epidemic?"

Zhou Yan listened to Su Run's "rehashing the old things", and suddenly collapsed: "Why do you still remember ......?"

Su Run pursed his lips: "...... Let's just say that it's safe for you to consider whether it's safe to get into danger...... Your plan has not come to fruition in the past few days?"

"Huh...... Well, yes, there was Mr. Qi's men guarding the south side of the town, and they wouldn't let me get close. Or so to speak, don't let anyone who is not related to it come close. I...... It's not good to break in, and ordinary people who stay there can't be the master, so I thought about going there often, trying my luck, maybe I can have a chance to meet Mr. Qi, and ask him to allow me to go in and help. It's just that...... Mr. Naki's visit to Zhennan is always irregular, and I have not been able to see him so far. “

“...... What do you know about the plague?"

Zhou Yan shook his head: "It's just a little bit of news that everyone knows, some people have been infected, including monks, and I heard that those who have been infected have died." Other than that, and more, I don't know anything. “

Su Run frowned slightly: "Anything else, nothing has been revealed?"

Zhou Yan shook his head again: "No." None of the symptoms of the epidemic have been reported, and I have never seen the appearance of an infected person, and I have no direction to guess, so I have always wanted to go to the south to have a look. “

"Ahem. Su Run's brows furrowed, and he looked at Zhou Yan with disapproval.

Zhou Yan realized that he had said it in passing, and at this time, under Su Run's gaze, he had to force himself to smile calmly and awkwardly.

At this time, Xiao Luo suddenly asked, "Guarding it so tightly?"

Zhou Yan hurriedly turned his head to avoid Su Run's gaze, and answered Xiao Luo's question seriously: "No, Mr. Qi said, this epidemic is menacing, I don't understand the reason, even the monks have not been spared, and it is too dangerous for anyone to approach rashly." In order to further spread the disease, unrelated people outside the guards are not allowed to approach in the south, so as not to be contaminated with the epidemic and walk in the town...... This great relationship, coupled with Mr. Qi's prestige in Sioux Town, was consciously observed, and the people kept as far away as possible from the south, so as not to add trouble. Speaking of which, in the entire Su Town, only Mr. Qi's request should be so thoroughly complied with. “

"Oh?" Xue Yun was a little curious when he heard Zhou Yan's words: "This Mr. Qi, is he so powerful in Su Zhen?"

"Hmm...... Maybe it's not great, I haven't heard of him doing anything terrifying. I have also heard from many residents of Suzhen these days that Mr. Qi has always acted fairly, with clear rewards and punishments, and he is a cultivator who has kept Suzhen safe and stable for decades, so that this town has become many times more prosperous in just over 40 years, and the people's livelihood is happy. Most of the people in this town and in the vicinity of Sioux Town are especially attentive to his words out of gratitude and reverence, right?"

Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows: "Not only." He can make Su Zhen grow here in less than fifty years, as long as you follow him, you can see a better future. In the absence of the temptation of a higher 'price', no one will be willing to easily offend this guarantee of a better future, and will naturally act with care. “

Xue Yun also nodded beside Xiao Luo: "Moreover, the Great Perfection of the Jindan Period, only one step away from entering the cultivation of Yuanying, in a remote realm like Suzhen, even if he has not done anything harsh, his cultivation alone is enough to deter everyone here." “

It was impossible for a few monks to resist him, and even relied on Mr. Qi's guidance, and most of them were willing or even took the initiative to use the other party. And the ordinary people who really accounted for the majority of the town were already in awe of the monks, and some even feared them, not to mention that here in Su Town, Mr. Qi Shanhui was far superior to those masters of the lowly cultivators.

Xiao Luo nodded and agreed with Xue Yuan's opinion. After that, he was silent for a while, and asked Zhou Yan: "You have been in Suzhen for so long, and you haven't seen that Mr. Qi since the outbreak of the epidemic, so what about before that?"

Zhou Yan shook his head regretfully: "No." I heard that Mr. Qi was in retreat before the epidemic, saying that the bottleneck had been loosened, and he felt the opportunity to further advance the Yuan Infant, and he was attacking with all his might, and he didn't see outsiders. After the epidemic came out, no one wanted to alarm him, but the epidemic was so severe that even the monks were infected with two lives, which made everyone in Su Town, whether ordinary people or monks, panic. There was no one in Su Zhen who could call the shots, so he had to inform Mr. Qi who was in retreat. He has been busy since he hurried out of the customs, and few people can see him except for a few of his henchmen. “

"If it is really the retreat that shocks the Yuan Infant, then this Mr. Qi is willing to give up this opportunity to advance for these people in Su Zhen, which is really rare. “

"Who says it's not?" Zhou Yan said: "Besides, now that the south is closed up, unrelated people are not allowed to approach, but the monks guarding there have been instructed by Mr. Qi, and they are still polite to people who come and go, even ordinary people, except that they don't let people get close to them, they don't let people pass, and they don't spread the news, they don't make people afraid." Having said that, the people of the entire Su Town were afraid of accidentally contracting the epidemic, and the relatives of those who were the first to be infected were also isolated to the south because of their close contact, so no one took the initiative to approach. ”

Su Run frowned: "Except for you?"

"Uh......" Zhou Yan's eyes rolled: "I'm ...... I want to do my part to solve the epidemic......! lest you really come back to me, and instead you will be trapped in Sioux Town. Especially Xiao Luo and them, you said earlier that your friend specially contacted you to come here, I think, they must have something important to do, it's not good to stay in Su Zhen all the time. I've thought about it, most of the friends who can be so worried about you will probably accompany you over, if you really can't get out of Su Town, but it can be regarded as because of me. After all, if I wasn't here, you wouldn't have to come in. Because I'm delaying your business, I don't want to go in my heart, don't you just think...... The sooner this epidemic is resolved, the better, and the sooner Su Zhen is unblocked, the better!"

Xue Yun listened to Zhou Yan's words, and was quite emotional in his heart, and paused before he opened his mouth to say something, when he heard Su Run, who was silent for a while, speak:

“...... Isn't it because you're curious too?"

"Uh...... Yes...... There are some ...... Curiosity is human nature! I'm also a poison student, so I'm ...... Well...... Kind of interested, hehe. ”

Xiao Luo smiled and said to Su Run: "Don't blame Zhou Yan, there is indeed curiosity, but the heart to let us leave as soon as possible is also true." In this way, Xiao Luo is very appreciative. ”

Zhou Yan looked at Xiao Luo, who turned to him and bowed as he spoke, and after being slightly stunned, the smile on his face widened, and he waved his hand: "No need, just like I said, after all, it was because of me, it's good if you don't get angry with me." ”

Xue Yun smiled: "The sudden outbreak of the epidemic in Su Zhen is unpredictable, and it is not what Zhou Yan wants, you are also a victim." ”

Speaking of this, Xue Yuan's gaze met Xiao Luo, who turned his head to the side, and the eyes of the two fluctuated slightly, and they both understood what they were guessing and thinking in each other's hearts.

Sioux was near the edge of the nameless mountain range where the Streamer Grass grew, and the outbreak of the epidemic was so coincidental that it was close to the time of their mysterious encounter in the heart of the mountain range......

Su Zhen's unexplained epidemic is not known to be related to the events in the mountain range.

It's a pity that they can't leave Sioux Town at this time, and they can't go to other places on the edge of the mountain range to investigate and confirm.

Su Run asked Zhou Yan, "Is there any other news about this epidemic?"

"Hmm...... There is a little, but I don't know if it's true or not, and I can't confirm it for a while. Zhou Yan replied cautiously: "There were rumors in the town two days ago, saying that this epidemic may not be a natural disaster but a man-made disaster, so Mr. Qi wants to close Su Town and only allow entry and exit, and slowly find out the relevant people." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Luo frowned: "Mr. Naqi, do you suspect that the epidemic is man-made?"

Zhou Yan shook his head: "I don't know, besides, this is just a rumor, it has not been confirmed, and I don't know what Mr. Qi thinks and plans." However, judging from the behavior of closing Su Town, and the situation in the town a few days ago, this rumor is somewhat credible. ”

"How many days ago?"

"Well, the epidemic just came out, and the town was just quarantined for a few days, and the town was not so stable. At that time, although there was no arrest in the town, there were always Mr. Qi's men walking around the town to inquire, especially around the places where people who had been infected with the epidemic had stayed, and they were investigated very carefully. However, in the past two days, it may be that everything that should have been checked before has been almost checked, and it is no longer common for Mr. Qi to ask around. ”

Xue Yun pursed his lips, his heart was a little heavy: "In this way, that Mr. Qi ...... It seems that I really think this is a man-made disaster. ”

Now that Su Zhen is still closed to enter and not allowed to leave, and there has been no rumor of any arrest of thieves or the direction of finding a solution to the epidemic, it is very likely that Mr. Qi and their investigation will not find anything.

If the epidemic in Suzhen is really as rumored, it is man-made.

Then the person who has not been seized is very likely to be still in the town at this moment.

Great hidden danger.
