Chapter 030: The Spreading Plague
There was indeed a stone door on the wall at the end of the cell, Qin Yue pressed the switch on the right side, the stone door slowly opened, and a passage inside the door was dimly lit, Qin Yue slowly glanced back, her heart was wonderful, and then she plunged into the passage.

At first, the two of them could still bend forward in the dark passage, but the space became narrower and narrower the further they went, and in the end they could only walk sideways, bent over their waists.
At the exit was a dry well, and the two climbed up at the bottom of the well.
Climbing out of the well is a small forest, from the forest to the view is a road, along the road, not far from the loft palace sits different heights, the place is the Burning Demon Hall.
"We're really in the territory of the Demon Burning Hall, so it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time." Qin Yue had already expected in her heart that the Chenghui in the dungeon mentioned that it was the underground deep palace of the Demon Burning Hall, and the Demon Burning Hall was above it.
"Senior brother, where are we going now?"
"At present, the task has not been completed, and the situation is not clear, so I will not return to Immortal Peak for the time being, and go to the Phoenix Forest."
Lin Zichen did not object, the two of them found out of this forest, the Burning Demon Hall was sparsely guarded for some reason, could it be that Murong Tian, the head of the Burning Demon Hall, had not taken his disciples back to the Burning Demon Hall.
Qin Yue hijacked two white horses along the road and went straight to the official road, stepped on with Lin Zichen one after another, whipped away, and went out for more than ten miles, thinking that it would be safer.
Lin Zichen gently pulled the horse rope in front, slowed down the horse's speed, and looked at Qin Yue.
"Senior brother, you should tell me what you promised the old man of the dungeon now, right?"
As soon as Qin Yue heard this, she also reined in the horse rope and was silent for a long time before slowly replying: "Xitou, I know, it's not good for you." ”
"Living and dying together, I'm afraid that this is no good, senior brother, don't worry about me." Lin Zichen said.
"Well, since you insist on listening, I'll tell you that I promise to help him kill someone." Qin Yue replied.
"Kill, kill whom?" Lin Zichen asked.
"I don't know this, killing a person with the other half of the jade pendant is this." Qin Yue said, taking out half of the jade piece in her arms.
Lin Zichen looked at it carefully, and then said, "Since this is the case, then count it as my share." ”
"How can this be done, and you must not be swept into it." Qin Yue was in a hurry.
"Senior brother, you help him kill people in exchange for the two of us to live, not to mention that you and I are senior brothers, even if others encounter this matter, I will definitely not stand idly by, although my cultivation is not high, but I am willing to advance and retreat with my senior brother and kill this person together." Lin Zichen was righteous, and Qin Yue didn't dare to shirk it for a while.
"I really can't help you, okay, but I can say it in front, I don't know who this person is yet, if we find him, you and I can't startle the snake, we need to be careful and wait for the opportunity." Qin Yue admonished.
On the official road, there is a flat river, and the horses gallop slowly to a mountain pass.
"Senior brother, it's not good, the road in front is blocked, it looks like a landslide." Lin Zichen pointed straight ahead.
"This is the main road from the Burning Demon Hall to the Phoenix Forest, how could it collapse at this juncture." Qin Yue saw the scene ahead and had doubts in her heart.
"Senior brother, it looks like we're going to have to take a detour." Lin Zichen said.
Qin Yue nodded, it seems that it is impossible not to detour, this detour is not only difficult to walk, but also doubles the time spent.
Weeds move in the distance among the grass.
Lin Zichen's eyes were sharp, he knew it clearly, pulled out his huge teeth and jumped down, approached, and waved a knife, the weeds were broken, and a person was shocked, this person's hands and tendons had been broken, his left chest was pierced, and blood flowed all over the ground, but he was not dead.
Qin Yue stared, this person was pale, he had also lost too much blood, a mole on his forehead was eye-catching, and he was dressed as a scholar.
"Who are you and why are you here?" Qin Yue dismounted and approached and asked.
"Help me." The man seemed to speak with the last of his strength.
"The origin is unknown, how to save you, first tell us what your name is, why you came here, and we will consider saving you." Lin Zichen put forward conditions.
"If I tell you, you will surely save me." The blood was slowly flowing, and his breath was getting weaker and weaker.
Qin Yue stepped forward to help him point out a few acupoints to stop the bleeding a little.
"Say it."
"I'm a ghost-faced scholar, I was deceived here, and someone killed me."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Zichen was stunned, incredible, how could the ghost-faced scholar who was struggling to find him be here, not to mention that the direction was wrong, he was still dying of breath and dying.
"You're a ghost-faced scholar, what evidence do you have?" Qin Yue didn't believe it either.
"When a man is about to die, his words are good, and when he dies, he will not tell lies, but I beg you to save me."
"If you are really a ghost-faced scholar, then we will not be able to save you, you will do a lot of evil, and you will die innocently." Lin Zichen was awe-inspiring.
"Although I have done evil before, but this time my hands and feet have been broken, if I am saved, I will not be able to do evil in the future, but only do good." The ghost-faced scholar begged bitterly.
"You could have told a lie? It is said that the son of an ordinary peasant family is in distress when a robber falls, and we may save you, why don't you say it? Or is it true that the ghost-faced scholar is already false? Qin Yue looked directly into the other party's eyes.
"Both of them are extremely intelligent people, and it is really innocent to tell lies with their dying lives in front of smart people, but I am indeed a ghost-faced scholar." The ghost-faced scholar replied.
"I believe in you." Qin Yue saw that the other party's eyes were sincere, his expression and words were the same, and said: "Let me ask you, your left chest was pierced, that is where the heart is, if I guessed correctly, this sword should pierce your heart, why are you not dead?" ”
"I won't tell you anything, I was born different from ordinary people, other people's hearts are on the left, mine is on the right, if you are an ordinary person, the other party's sword will be killed on the spot, and I have been lucky to survive until now, but I also lost too much blood, and if this continues, I should also die." The ghost-faced scholar said the truth.
"What kind of enmity does the other party have against you, and he killed him with a sword?" Lin Zichen interjected.
"I don't know, I came here because I was asked to come here by someone in the church, and the person who made the appointment didn't come, but someone else had already been ambushed here, killing me by surprise, wearing a night outfit, and I didn't see the other party's face clearly, but after I fell to the ground, he took off my mask and left." The ghost-faced scholar said.
"When did this happen?" Qin Yue asked again.
"Two days ago." The ghost-faced scholar was weak and dying.
"You have a lot of blood, and you haven't been killed for a few days." Lin Zichen adjusted Kai.
"Forget it, although you have done a lot of evil, what we say will still count, and we will save you, but we have to bandage you first, and then take you to a nearby place for medical treatment, of course, we don't have strips of cloth, and we won't tear clothes from us, we can only use leaves." Qin Yue said bluntly.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Zichen was shocked, how to wrap this with leaves.
"Leaves are leaves!" The ghost-faced scholar was embarrassed and had to come from.
Qin Yue knew in his heart that the leaves could be bandaged, and he clearly tossed the ghost-faced scholar, this way the ghost-faced scholar was really wronged, he was already dying, and he almost died halfway, the two of them were in a small courtyard of a farmhouse, the head of the family was a hurry, and he could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
It was a small road, quite bumpy, and the speed of the horse slowed down a bit.
"Senior brother, why did you save that person, I still don't believe that he is a ghost-faced scholar, if it is, then we will never be able to save him, why did you save him? Is it a commitment? Lin Zichen was very puzzled.
"He is a ghost-faced scholar, he is such a field, there is no reason to lie to us again, not to mention that when he answered us, it can be seen from his eyes that he is not lying, and I didn't save him all because of promise, but because it is good for us to be alive." Qin Yue gestured.
"What's in it for you?" Lin Zichen was puzzled.
"You must know that he is alive, and he can make those behind-the-scenes manipulators mess with themselves, and it is a very scary thing to know that people who are dead are still alive." Qin Yue said meaningfully.
"The manipulator behind the scenes, senior brother, do you mean that everything in this Phoenix Forest is caused by someone behind the scenes?" Lin Zichen asked.
"It's weird, I suspect it is." Qin Yue pondered.
"Then why don't we take the ghost-faced scholar on the road together, and leave him behind, knowing that he is dragged in his hand, maybe a card." Lin Zichen thought and said.
"No, not to mention that he is a burden now, not to mention that it is too revealing to take him, the place we are going to is the Phoenix Forest, the ghost-faced scholar has broken limbs and veins, and he is already a wasted person, living in a farmer's house is the safest, he can't run away for a while, it is convenient for us to find him, and it is the best choice to leave him."
Qin Yue's answer made Lin Zichen clear, so he didn't say anything, and then the two of them went on a slightly wider road.
It took a long time.
Yuliu shade, distant village, smoke in the ruins.
Two horses galloped, to the entrance of the village, the two pulled the horse rope, the horse neighed, the two dismounted, led the horse into the village.
The farmers in the village were quite frightened when they saw the outsiders entering the village, which made Qin Yue and Lin Zichen quite puzzled at this time, and they passed through the village, went straight to the fork in front and turned left, about ten miles away, it was the village where the fake ghost face scholar slaughtered the villagers.
The two of them returned to the original point, and when they came down from the Immortal Peak, they also stayed here.
But the scene in front of them made Qin Yue and Lin Zichen stunned, there was actually an isolation zone here, and the isolation belt seemed to be artificially blocking the road, why is this.
The only two roads in and out of the Phoenix Forest were blocked, no wonder the guards of the Burning Demon Hall were so sparse, it seemed that Murong Tian must be trapped in this Phoenix Forest this time.
"Senior brother, look, there's a notice here." Lin Zichen pointed forward.
Qin Yue approached and looked up, and the handwriting on the white list on the wall was clear.
"The plague." Qin Yue stirred up what he thought in his heart, and then read on, the announcement was issued by the Immortal Peak, and it was engraved with the seal of the Immortal Peak.
If this is the case, this matter must be true, then there must be a plague ahead, Qin Yue thought about this matter carefully and felt that it was possible, how could the village not have a plague when the village was full of rotting corpses.
No wonder the village was so frightened when they saw outsiders before, what they were really afraid of was the plague in this village, and they were afraid that outsiders would bring the plague into the village.
The entire village in the territory of Immortal Peak was slaughtered, and Immortal Peak did not send anyone to collect the corpse for it, so that only four disciples were sent to kill the ghost-faced scholar for such a big event, so that now the plague is raging, harming others and himself, Rulong, the head of the family, can really take justice and awe-inspiring and protect the realm and the people as a pretense, Qin Yue's heart was inexplicably angry.
