Chapter 143: Determination
In the stone hall in the valley behind Zhuping Village, animal fat candles illuminate the huge space.
Xu Ning lay on the stone table, his eyes closed. According to the old patriarch's teachings, Yan Qing dipped the medicine in the clay pot with cotton yarn and applied it to the affected area little by little, almost all the places exposed outside the clothes.
The rest of the people were all gathered around the side, and they were all slightly relieved to see the old patriarch's confident expression, and they all praised the old patriarch's superb skills in rejuvenating his hands.
The old patriarch said humbly: "Fortunately, this child has a big life, if ordinary people are stained with the venom in the blood pool, they will die immediately, and I am afraid that the old man will not be able to bring him back to life." ”
Yan Bing burst into tears and asked with a smile: "Patriarch Grandpa, in this way, my brother Xu Ning is already safe?" ”
She was in tears all the way, and finally smiled.
The old patriarch nodded and said to her: "He was originally fine, but he was injured a little bit of flesh and skin, and I used some ordinary drugs to repel poison and reduce swelling." ”
Elder Yanshan was amazed when he heard this, and looked at each other, and the second elder sighed with emotion: "I don't know how much grudge the blood in the blood pool melted into, and Xu Gongzi can still be as if nothing has happened when he is contaminated, it is really incredible, unbelievable!" ”
The old patriarch pondered slightly, his tone became heavy, and he said in a low voice: "I'll ask him a few more words when the swelling on his face subsides, what happened tonight is really terrible, if he hadn't issued a warning in advance, I'm afraid that Zhu Pingzhai would be bleeding tonight!" ”
Everyone gasped when they heard this, and then heard the old patriarch ask everyone: "I instructed you to purify all the corpses of those bloody people with talismans, have you done it all?" ”
The three elders said in unison, "It's all done. ”
The old patriarch breathed a sigh of relief, and said cautiously: "If those bloody people are allowed to break into the stockade, they will release plague gas everywhere, and I am afraid that even the colorful fairy orchid will not be able to protect us." ”
The atmosphere in the room was suddenly tense, and the two sisters, Yan Bing and Yanqing, had never heard of such a terrible thing, and their spines were cold.
At this moment, Xu Ning slowly sat up from the stone table, his face was white again, and sure enough, after applying the potion, he was safe and sound. He thanked the patriarch, sat down on the chair, and drank the large bowl of water that Yan Qing handed over.
The old ancestor asked him to tell him everything about the discovery of the bloody person, so Xu Ning traced all the way to Zhupingzhai after discovering the abnormality through the blood pool and how to issue the alarm.
The old man's ravine-ravine face trembled and the pieces of flesh trembled, and his heart must have been turbulent. After Xu Ning finished speaking, he sat down on the chair like a deflated skin, motionless. Everyone was shocked, and the two sisters Yanqing and Yanbing turned even pale, and hurriedly rushed up to check, calling the old man's name in their mouths.
After a long time, the old patriarch exhaled a turbid breath and said sadly: "It seems that we are going to escape from Zhuping Village and migrate to the wild east. ”
The old patriarch's words were like a thunderclap exploding in the house, suffocating for a long time before the great elder asked in surprise, "Patriarch, why did you suddenly make this decision?" There are thousands of people in this Yan clan, and there have been fugitives coming over recently, how can they move away at once? ”
"Senior brother is right, we have to put it off for a while, so that everyone can be prepared." The other two elders agreed.
The old patriarch stood up suddenly, knocked the cane in his hand on the ground hard, and said hurriedly: "This is also a way to do it, if there is a slight delay, I am afraid that it will be too late, now is the time when the burning eyebrows are in danger, what else is there to discuss." ”
Everyone saw that the old man was so anxious, it must be that the situation was serious, and if they dared to say it again, they would wait for the old patriarch to give orders.
"Patriarch Grandpa, is this matter related to me?" Xu Ning suddenly interjected in a panic, breaking the temporary silence in the room. The last time he threw a stone in the blood pool, it caused a poisonous mist, causing a large number of colorful fairy orchids in the village to die, and he still has a bad heart, so he thinks that this matter must have nothing to do with himself.
The old patriarch smiled bitterly, "What does this have to do with you?" If you hadn't followed you all the way and raised the alarm at a critical moment, we should thank you for the fear that the people in the stockade would have been poisoned. ”
Xu Ning was relieved and continued to ask: "When the patriarch heard me talk about this matter just now, didn't he find some terrible signs, so he wanted to move the clan out?" ”
He saw that the patriarch was worried and his face was gloomy, and he naturally knew that this was a good place like a paradise, and it was simply impossible to find such a beautiful home again.
So Xu Ning plucked up the courage and said: "Since the patriarch and grandfather want everyone to flee from Zhuping Village at the moment, let's give a reason, after all, there are thousands of people up and down this village, and there will be a lot of reluctance to leave their hometown and homeland suddenly, so we still have to give a convincing reason." ”
After he said this, he immediately felt that his face was red, and it was even more uncomfortable than the venom in the blood just now, and he scolded himself in his heart: "I am an outsider and a junior, how can I intervene here." ”
Yan Bing sat across from him and couldn't sit comfortably, and he felt strange in his heart: "Brother Xu Ning is usually quiet and stupid, why did he suddenly become sharp and sharp today?" Could it be that it was because of the venom just now? ”
Thinking of her own nonsense, she almost laughed, it seems that this girl is really different, even if the gaffe is already so strict, she can find her own fun.
Just when Xu Ning was uneasy, the old patriarch who had been silent finally spoke, and sighed in an extremely sad voice: "The old decay is about to die in the ground, but now, if you don't move out today, I'm afraid there will be no chance." The resentful spirits in the pool of blood have awakened, and I am afraid that they came to spy last night, and they will definitely come to commit a big crime tonight......"
The old patriarch saw that everyone was still half-aware, so he told everything he knew, and the people in the room were terrified when they heard it, and they all lost their temper and changed color.
Xu Ning thought for a moment, stood up and asked, "Can't we join hands and fill the blood pool?" ”
As soon as he said this, everyone exclaimed, and Yan Bing was even more frightened: "You are crazy, those dozens of bloody people who came out can bring us annihilation, not to mention that there are thousands of bloody people hidden inside." ”
"In the past, the blood pool was just spitting poisonous gas outside, how could it suddenly change so much this time, do you have to kill all the living creatures around you?" Yan Bing turned his head to the old patriarch and asked.
The old man glanced at Xu Ning, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Xu Ning noticed the abnormality, as if he was sitting on pins and needles, and begged urgently: "Patriarch Grandpa, don't hide it from me if you have something to say, please explain it directly." ”
"Alas! Speaking of which, this matter really has a lot to do with you. ”
As soon as the old patriarch said this, the huge stone hall was suddenly silent, even if a needle fell to the ground, it could be heard exactly the same, and the atmosphere became more solemn.
Xu Ning's lips were tightly closed, his face was extremely ugly, and he forcibly suppressed his restless mood and listened to the old man finish speaking.
It turned out that this anomaly in the blood pool had a lot to do with the "Soul Searching Furnace". After the soul searching furnace was brought out of the underground ancient city, it was able to reappear in the light of day, and when it passed through the blood pool, the demonic energy emitted should have been discovered by the resentful spirits hiding inside. Now, the Soul Searching Road is placed in the cave of the Ancestral Peak, which is only one or two hundred miles away from the blood pool, and the energy emitted will definitely be captured by the thoughts of the resentful souls.
"Compared to my Yan clansmen abandoning their homeland, what the old man is most worried about now is your master's current condition of recasting the flesh." The old patriarch said solemnly.
"My master, he...... Did something unusual happen to him? Xu Ning was stunned and looked at Yan Bing blankly. He had only been here yesterday at sunset, and she hadn't said anything out of the ordinary to herself.
Yan Bing was also confused, and said to the old patriarch: "Patriarch Grandpa, I stayed on the mountain all day yesterday, and I found that all of them were developing in a good direction......
The old man shook his head and sighed, "It's because your master has just turned into a human illusion now that it's difficult to do." If you move the stove rashly, no one dares to guarantee that it will not affect the reshaping of the physical body, and if something really happens, it will be a waste of all your efforts. ”
Xu Ning had mixed feelings in his heart at this time, anxious and moved. Now that such a tricky thing has happened to the master at the critical juncture of rebirth, it really worries him, and the Yan people are still worried about the safety of the old man Huangji at the moment when they are facing the crisis that their home is about to be destroyed, which makes him inexplicably moved.
Looking at the sad and sad expressions of everyone in the room, Xu Ning's heart suddenly burst into a heroic aura.
He slapped the stone table, and said in an angry voice: "Since this group of demons and demons are imprisoned in the blood pool and still want to resurrect the danger of the Quartet, I, Xu Ning, will definitely cut them down and eradicate them today and fill up the deep pool!" ”
Everyone looked excited and arrogant when they saw him, and they didn't dare to persuade each other for a while, but they were all infected with fighting spirit, and they all looked at the old patriarch, clearly asking the old man to decide.
The old man was still silent, his expression solemn and solemn.
The three elders got up and said, "Our three brothers are willing to go to the blood pool with Xu Gongzi, although we will die without regrets. ”
Yan Bing also stood up and said: "I also want to go with me, I now have the most powerful weapon of our ancient clan, and I don't want to use it to punish evil and eliminate demons at this time." ”
The old patriarch saw that they were united and unhesitating, and seemed to be infected, nodded, called Yanqing to come to him, and explained in his ear. After Yan Qing heard this, Haoru's face showed joy, and he hurriedly moved to the old man's bedroom and began to configure the potion talisman.
"It's better to be broken than broken, this wild place is sinister everywhere, where can you escape if you really want to escape?" The haze on the old man's face was swept away, and the old and weak figure also stood up, and his voice was sonorous: "While Xu Ning's child is still in the village, you will work with him at noon today to level the blood pool!" ”
The old man commanded one place, and everyone was excited and eager to try, and Xu Ning was even more excited.
"Taking the initiative this time will definitely give you a better chance of winning than sticking to the city wall, but you must not be careless." The old patriarch squinted his eyes and admonished, "You also saw the blood on Xu Ning's body just now, and thanks to him, if it were someone else, his whole body would have festered and died." ”
The old patriarch made a detailed arrangement for everyone: Xu Ning put a spell close to the blood pool, and the resentful spirits inside would inevitably be forced out, and the three elders of Yanshan led the warriors with strong combat power in the clan to be responsible for sniping on the periphery. And Yan Bing's mission is to use the Heavenly Bow to protect Xu Ning from a distance, and Yan Qing is specifically responsible for treating people who are injured by blood and poisonous mist in a timely manner.
In the end, the old patriarch said to Xu Ning word by word: "The blood man you saw last night is not the most terrifying, if the story passed down by the ancestors is true, there is still an evil poison body that has been fused by countless resentful souls and evil spirits for thousands of years!" ”
Xu Ning understood, just like those zombie people seen in the underground ancient city, the blood people should have changed in the same way, and the evil poison body was the root of all evil.
It seems that in any corner where demonic energy gathers, if it is not removed, it will form a terrifying dark power after years of deposit, just like the human heart.
Xu Ning's heart throbbed again, because he remembered someone.
