Chapter 889: The Forbidden Spell of the Slums

The young man smiled, glanced at the old man in front of him, and said: "The old man's body is already very weak, although I saved it this time, but the aging of the body cannot be reversed, after this time, the old man can live for a few years, and then he will really lack the skills to return to heaven."

Hearing this, the expressions of everyone around couldn't help but darken, but the old man lying on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes, squeezed out a smile on his wrinkled face, and said: "Old man, I should have died a long time ago, and it is already a great creation to live a few more years, how can I ask for more?"

"If you can meet the young man today, the old man can't survive today, if the young man can show up a few days earlier, my two old fellows can live a few more years, alas"

Hearing this, the young man's expression couldn't help but move, and said, "Old man, is there still a situation like you?"

"This disease is very common in our slums, and some elderly people will suddenly be bedridden, and their health will get worse and worse, and they will die after two or three years."

"Does this happen occasionally, or does it happen often?"

"Often, anyway, those of us who live in the slums are used to it, after the age of fifty, the health of the people here begins to fail, almost no one can live past the age of sixty, some people are not in good health, then they die even earlier, who makes us poor living conditions and the environment in which we live are not good, and there is nothing strange about not living long"

The old man is quite open-minded, not only him, but also some of the poor people around him, perhaps they have long thought that they live in this place, sometimes without enough food for three meals a day, and it is normal for them to live to be sixty years old.

It's just that this young man doesn't think so at all in his heart, even if this is a slum, the living environment is indeed not very good, but it is not outrageous, and if some people do not live to be sixty years old, it is fine, but in such a large slum, how can there be more than 100,000 residents living here, such a large base, and they have not lived past the age of sixty, then this thing is too strange.

The young man then asked again: "Isn't it true that from the appearance of this slum to the present, none of the inhabitants living here have lived past the age of sixty?"

"It's not that there are still old people with a long lifespan before, but there are fewer and fewer people like that, especially in the last few decades, there are almost no people who have lived past sixty years old, maybe God doesn't want us poor people to suffer more, anyway, the body is getting worse and worse when we get older, even if we live to be ten years old, it will only add a burden to the family, after the age of fifty, anyway, the efforts that should be made are out, and early death will not drag down the family, it is better."

This old man is indeed very open-minded, and his words can also be recognized by the neighbors around him, they are just poor, life is not good, what is the difference between living a few more years and living a few years less, there is nothing to worry about at all.

But the young man who practiced medicine had a twinkle in his eyes, but he didn't say anything about it, but asked again: "Is this situation only unique to you?"

"Of course not, this is the case in the slums of our southwest city, and the other three slums can't be any better, who will let them all live in the slums" The old man on the sickbed smiled.

The young man also smiled slightly, but he didn't say anything more, then he found a pen and paper, wrote a prescription and handed it to the woman, and then took off the silver needles from the old man's body one by one, and after explaining it again, he slowly left.

After the young man left, he walked alone in the slum at will, and when he met some patients in the middle, he would take the initiative to come forward to diagnose and treat them, and if it was not serious, he would just administer needles to them, and if it was more serious, he would prescribe medicine, and take out some broken silver for the patient's family to grab the medicine.

For a whole day, this seemingly ordinary young man walked around the slum in this southwest city and helped the sick one by one, but this slum is so big, there are so many residents living here, and there are naturally many patients, even if this young man's medical skills are amazing, this day is only to help some patients in the slum.

It was also on this day that this young man had seen several situations similar to the old man before, and he also confirmed the facts of what the old man said from other people's mouths.

"It's strange that you can't live past the age of sixty," the young man finished his day's healing and told the poor people that he would come tomorrow, and then he was thankful for his departure.

In addition to the obvious gap between the rich and the poor outside, there is also a difference between the slums and the bustling cities outside, that is, after dark, the slums become very quiet, and the people here go home, and there are almost no people walking around the streets, which is completely different from the bustling area and the brightly lit and still lively scene.

The young man walked quietly on the deserted streets of the slum, but his face was full of contemplation, as if he had a very heavy heart on his mind, which he could not understand.

In the midst of this silence, an illusory and ethereal figure suddenly appeared beside the young man, glanced at the pensive young man, and said with a light smile: "I am still thinking about the situation of these poor people"

The young man didn't stop, and he didn't look at the illusory figure around him, he hummed lightly, and said: "Things are indeed a little strange, it stands to reason that this is the cultivation realm, and the natural vitality in heaven and earth is much richer than that of the original realm, which is more conducive to the cultivation of monks, and it is also of great benefit to mortals, at least the life expectancy of mortals living here is generally higher than that of the original realm, how can there be a situation where they can't live to be sixty years old."

This young man is none other than Qin Mu after changing his appearance, and that illusory figure is needless to say that it is Wen Ge.

Qin Mu came from the Origin Realm, the environment there can't be compared with the Cultivation Realm at all, not to mention monks, just mortals, the air in the Cultivation Realm is fresher, the water source is cleaner, maybe the medical situation here is far inferior to the Origin Realm, but it is not enough to live to be sixty years old, and he is not just coming to the Cultivation Realm, he has been in the Cultivation Realm for a long time, and he has been to many places, and he has seen mortals in various places, even in the Thirty-Six Divine Prefectures, there is no such situation that mortals can't live to be sixty years old, The slums of Heavenly Dao City were the first.

"There's nothing strange about it, the environment of the cultivation realm is indeed better than the original realm, but after all, this is a world dominated by cultivators, there are too many strange places here, like the desert of death, then there is nothing strange about the forbidden spell where mortals can't live to be sixty years old" Wen Ge seemed very unconcerned, there are many strange things in this world, how can he figure out everything.

Qin Mu shook his head and said: "If the environment here is abnormal, which leads to such a thing, I won't think anything, but this is Tiandao City, it is a normal place, mortals living in prosperous areas are very normal, but only residents in slums have such a situation, this is too abnormal."

"What do you think is the problem?"

"Don't you think?"

Wenge chuckled: "It stands to reason that this kind of thing only happens in the slums, which is indeed a bit abnormal, but you haven't found out that something is wrong."

"No, I found out something was wrong"

"After hearing what the old man said, when I was treating these poor people that day, I deliberately carefully examined everyone's body, including their souls, although I didn't see any traces of being manipulated, but I found that the people here have one thing in common, whether it is a sick person or a person who seems to be normal now, their soul strength is much weaker than that of people of the same age, and their vitality is also slightly weaker, which is probably the reason why their bodies weaken sharply as they get older. It's just that when they are young, when their vitality and soul are at their strongest, they don't feel anything weak at all, and as they get older, this weakness will become more and more obvious, after all, the older they are, the weaker their vitality and soul are It is a natural law, and now coupled with this abnormal situation, the combination of the two will cause them to pass the golden age, and their bodies will weaken sharply, and they will die completely in just two or three years."

Hearing this, Wen Ge's eyes moved, and he said, "You said that the vitality and soul of these poor people are slightly weaker than normal people, what does this mean?"

"I'm afraid someone has done something to the people in this ghetto."

Wen Ge suddenly smiled: "You just said that you didn't find any traces of them being manipulated, could it be that someone did something to the mortals here, can't you find it?"

"I want to ask you a question, is there anything in the cultivation realm that can secretly and slowly absorb the life force and soul power of mortals, and will not leave any traces on mortals."

Wen Ge suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "I know that your kid has nothing to do, and you can't think about anything good."

He wanted to continue to tease Qin Mu, but seeing his solemn look, Wen Ge could only let go of his ridicule and said, "Slowly absorbing the vitality and soul power of mortals, this method is not uncommon in the cultivation realm, and it is somewhat unlikely that it will not leave any traces on the body of the person who is being absorbed in the vitality of the person."

"Unless that person personally extracts a little life force and soul power from a person, but that kind of practice is very troublesome, and it is impossible to attack so many people at the same time, so the situation in the slum can never be caused by this reason, and to do things to so many people, it can only be caused by some evil exercises, but if it is the reason for the exercises, it will definitely leave traces on the person who is casting the spell."

"I think it's you kid thinking too much."

Qin Mu frowned and said, "Is there really no one kind of exercise that can do this kind of thing?"
