Chapter 3 "Death" Chapter 38 Hearing the Wind and Going to the Good City Sand poison reappears as a natural disaster
The third prince walked on the road, but his face had never been so solemn and nervous.
Last night, after arranging a place to live for the three princes and his entourage, Mu Fengchun left with Heiwa. Before leaving, he patted the door frame and secretly made a look. Sure enough, after a while, the door of the third prince was pushed open with a creak, and the person who came looked around closed the door with confidence.
When the third prince received Mu Fengchun's signal, he naturally knew that it was inconvenient for him to tell others, so he dismissed the black beaver.
After all, a few people had to hurry the next day, and Mu Fengchun didn't make a detour this time, and told his concerns: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, the two handsomes before are here, and I don't dare to talk nonsense about some things." What's more, the people in the Immortal Mansion don't know about these things, and I'm afraid that if I say it, it will cause trouble and implicate them..."
"Since you are going to leave tomorrow, I will explain the matter to you simply, and it will be convenient for you to decide. ”
"The reason why Lao Er is so eager to find Wu Fan's body is not simply to find the Qi Bottle to restore Lao Fan's Wood Spirit Bead, but mainly to find a way to resurrect Wu Fan's little friend! Lao Er feels that although the seal of this lock demon tower is very popular, all kinds of signs indicate that this must be inseparable from the Five Elements Ding! Now that the first layer of seals is unlocked, it may just be a temptation, in case one day the second and third layers are unlocked, things will become more and more tricky!"
"If there is one person in the world today who can resolve this crisis, then this person must be Wufan Xiaoyou! After all, the Five Elements Ding has always been in his body, and he will definitely have a way to deal with it!"
"Although Lao Er doesn't know who is lifting the seal and what the purpose is, but it must not be a good kind to let the demon beast do harm to the world like this! Lao Er, I have been confused all my life, I don't know life and death, and now I know my meaning when I meet Xiaoyou. Although Lao Er is usually timid and afraid, but now for the sake of peace in the world, even if he gives up his life, so what's the matter?"
Mu Fengchun's heroic words made his small body a little taller, and the eyes of the third prince were shining, and he immediately swore that he would find a way to find out the whereabouts of the Wufan brothers.
However, Mu Fengchun still didn't say a word, that is, Bai Wuchang said that day that he had no reincarnation of life and death, and it must be difficult to find death. But it was not easy to bring out the atmosphere, so that the third prince looked up to him a few points, and he couldn't compromise his majesty, so he left and left.
The third prince tossed and turned all night, feeling that the burden on his shoulders was a little heavier, and after a long time, he slowly fell asleep.
"Third prince, there will be a town not far from this mountain. ”
The black beaver who had gone to explore the way finally rushed back at this time, and although he had found many large and small villages along the way, almost all of them were abandoned, and now he finally had a place to rest.
Reminded by the black beaver, everyone also cheered up and crossed the mountain, and finally saw the town that the black beaver said from a distance.
Although this town can not be compared with the capital, but the scale is not small, on the huge city gate, there is a plaque, but the plaque has been broken in half, only to see the remaining plaque, engraved with two big characters "good city".
The walls are made of large white stones, the gaps between the large stones are covered with gold, and the ground is painted with red paint about the height of an adult, which looks very majestic and magnificent, and makes people awe-inspired.
But the strange thing is that the ground around this good city is full of some strange creatures. They are each covered, and occasionally move around, but because they are so far away that they can't see very well even from a distance.
With doubts in their hearts, the three princes and their entourage finally came closer, only to find that these strange-looking creatures, although the shape is terrifying, but when they are closely distinguished, they can be seen that these are living people.
It's just that at the moment, these people don't know for what reason, their complexion has become dull yellow and rough, like sand, and even full of cracks, and some of the serious ones have been very seriously eroded limbs, but the strange thing is that there is no blood flowing out of the severed limbs, but scattered yellow sand.
These people are very inactive, and occasionally they will tremble when they feel the wind and grass. Their lives are fragile, and it seems that death is only a matter of time, but they can only survive.
"What the hell is going on with these people?" the third prince had never seen such a strange situation, and reached out curiously.
Just as he was about to lift the body of the person in front of him, he heard someone next to him exclaim: "Don't touch it!"
Although it was an exclamation, the man's voice was very hoarse, like the sound of grit rubbing, mixed with the sound of weak panting.
The third prince was startled, and quickly stopped his hand and looked at the person who spoke. I saw that this person had a square head and a broad face, a thin face, big eyes, a big nose and big ears, but it was very distinctive, although his body was still quite strong, but only half of it was left, and there were faint blood oozing out of the lower half of his body, which should have been too nervous just now, and the wound was torn.
"Don't touch him! Be careful!" the man waved his hand again and again, and in a hurry, a mouthful of saliva stuck in his throat, coughing and coughing.
"Brother Ren, are you injured?Jin Zhu'er, bring the medicine you Ya gave me!" the third prince took the medicine bottle and was about to give medicine to this person.
"No... No, stay away from me!" Seeing this, the man hurriedly struggled to take a few steps back, and the two blood stains under him were a little thicker.
"Uh... This benevolent brother, I have no ill intentions... This medicine is given to you, and we will go. The third prince put the medicine bottle on the ground, turned around and was about to leave.
"Stand... Stop, don't go—" The man's hoarse voice was urgent.
"I said that you are endless, we adults want to save you, you don't know what to do!" Jin Zhu'er was very annoyed and was about to pick up the medicine bottle.
"Jin Zhu'er, this benevolent brother should have some kind of trouble..."The third prince scolded, "This benevolent brother, don't be anxious, we won't leave, you speak slowly." ”
When the man heard this, he let go, put the package behind him, and let out a few breaths, and then he was relieved.
"This lord, I was in a hurry just now, and my tone was naturally heavier, but I was also for your good!" the man sighed, his face full of sadness.
"These people here have sand poison on their bodies, if you accidentally get it, the consequences will be the same as them! And this sand poison is extremely difficult to cure, once it is touched, there is no other way but to wait for death!"
"Sand poison?" When the third prince heard this, he was afraid for a while, although he didn't know what this thing was, but he also knew from the mouth of the person in front of him that this thing was extremely dangerous.
"That's right, once you get sand poison, you will only be itchy and dry at first, and no matter how much you drink, you can't quench your thirst, and some people even drink it until they die of bloating. Even if the lucky ones who are lucky enough not to die will be stiff and don't want to eat, if they continue to drink water at this time, it will be like magma entering the throat, and the internal organs will be completely melted!"
"As you can see for the rest, even if they survive the previous situation, it will not help! their bodies will only become darker and yellower, like sand, and the slightest bump will shatter their bones and ashes... Ahem..."
"This benevolent brother, looking at your condition, it should only be a traumatic injury, so it's better to drink the medicine first!" The third prince glanced at this person, and found that there was blood gushing out of the two broken legs under his clothes, and said worriedly.
"Thank you for your kindness, but... I've been poisoned by sand, and even if I use medicine, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape death!" the man smiled bitterly and said lightly.
"Since you have been poisoned by sand, why is there no sign of poisoning at all?" the third prince wondered.
"I'm not going to hide it, this is the second time I've been hit by this sand poison..."The man smiled awkwardly, and slowly tore off his clothes, only to see that the skin on his chest was indeed darker than the surroundings. While the sight is truly stunning, it's not something to brag about.
"Brother Ren, didn't you just say that this sand poison is extremely difficult to cure?"
"Yes, it was extremely difficult to cure before, but it wasn't impossible... It's just..."
"What can you do to see if I can help?" the third prince interjected.
"If it was before, as long as you drank the Dengxian spring water, you could easily solve it! That was before... Now the Dengxian Spring has been destroyed. As he spoke, the man looked at his empty trousers and the bag behind him, and his eyes moistened a little.
"Then do you know who did this sand poison?" the third prince said in a low voice.
"It's... Hehe... I'm just an ordinary person, how could I know such a thing?" The man suddenly fell for a moment, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
"Alas..."The third prince wanted to pat the man on the shoulder sympathetically, but he still didn't dare to fall.
"Adults should have something important to do on this trip, and there is no need to bother to be sad about it. Now that I'm here, the sand poison threat isn't so serious. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Although the sand poison has spread a lot, it has not been spread because of the heavy casualties, and it is natural for adults not to know about it. The reason why I say this is because some people have found that although the area around Jinsha Temple is also plagued by sand poison, the sand poison spreads very slowly, and there are many fewer casualties. But once you leave here, the spread of sand poison will be serious again!"
"Is there a problem in this place?"
"That's right! Actually, the sand poison this time is a little different from what I suffered last time, it is more like an evil art! After coming here, it also confirmed my thoughts! Although Jinsha Temple is not there, the righteousness of Buddhism is fused with the surrounding grass, trees, mountains and rivers, presumably foreign evil spirits do not dare to invade, so this sand poison is suppressed by life!"
"Although these people seem to be seriously injured, it is also because they came too late and the injury has spread, fortunately, there is the restriction of Buddhism's righteousness, otherwise I am afraid that they would have disappeared long ago. ”
"Why, then, are you gathered outside the city, and is it safer to go to the city?"
"Compared to demon beasts... What's even more terrifying is the human heart!"
