In Xinyan's boudoir, she looked around carefully, and saw a dressing table, a guqin, and some books on a bookshelf.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, without the fat powder of the general boudoir, but it gives people a sense of elegance and leisure like a courtyard garden.

The three of them took a few turns in the room, and the room was elegant as if it was uninhabited, but like her alienated and shallow temperament, but now that there was no one in the room, the lights were still a little weird, and it was comforting that no traces of blood or anything like that had been found.

Li Ji sat on the stool, pondered for a while, and said, "Senior sister, will you go down the mountain to find Master?"

The corners of Princess Wukang's mouth twitched, and she said with a hint of mockery: "Are you not accompanied by a beautiful and generous senior sister, and your heart is empty." ”

Li Ji's face changed slightly, he gasped, and said, "It's nothing, the princess is too worried." ”

Xi'er stood aside and covered her mouth and chuckled, Li Ji was usually personable and uninhibited, but an embarrassed look like this was only found in front of Princess Wukang.

After some discussion, the three of them decided to go together and march to the martial arts arena at the bottom of the mountain.

On the way, I happened to meet groups of disciples in three or five places, their faces were covered with white cloths, their eyes revealed a panicked look, and they were in a hurry.

Seeing this, Li Ji was a little inexplicable, everyone was dressed up like this, revealing a strange aura all over their bodies, as if they were facing a great enemy, and they didn't know what was going on, so they grabbed a disciple and asked, "This senior brother, what happened?"

The disciple stopped and said, "You came down from the mountain, right?"

Li Ji said: "Exactly, I am Li Ji, an introductory disciple of the Kamikaze Academy. ”

The disciple said: "Well, no wonder, your side is the most secluded, and there is often a lag in news, I am Liu Kai of the Spirit Palace." ”

Li Ji bowed and said, "Senior Brother Liu, it's okay!"

Liu Kai suddenly said mysteriously: "I'll tell you the truth, a bizarre thing happened yesterday. ”

When Li Ji heard this, an ominous omen suddenly came to his heart, and said, "What happened?"

Liu Kai said: "Yesterday, a disciple of the Lingshi Hall suddenly had a fever, cough, and diarrhea symptoms, thinking that he had eaten something bad, so he didn't go to his heart, until last night the disciple went crazy and died violently, which attracted everyone's attention!"

Li Ji asked, "Is he poisoned?"

Liu Kai said: "No one can say for sure, the most terrifying thing is that many disciples have similar symptoms this morning. ”

Li Ji asked again, "Is this disease still contagious?"

Liu Kai said: "This incident later alarmed the owner, once investigated, it was found that they were suffering from a strange disease, this strange disease came from nowhere, and it was extremely contagious, and the needle stone was ineffective." ”

Li Ji's face changed drastically: "So powerful?"

Liu Kai said: "Yes, this disease is menacing and unpreventable, so now everyone in the village is in danger, and all the disciples who have close contact with these patients are isolated." ”

Liu Kai took out a few square scarves and handed them to Li Ji: "Put this on your mouth, maybe it will be better." I still have something to do, so you can do it yourself. ”

Li Ji took the scarf and said gratefully, "Thank you, senior brother." ”

The two exchanged a salute and went their separate ways.

Princess Wukang exhaled lightly and said, "I feel strange, there is no one in the huge Kamikaze Courtyard early in the morning, so they must have gone to the Spirit Courtyard." ”

Li Ji said: "This matter is quite strange, I also want to go to the Spirit Academy to find out!"

Xi'er said timidly: "Didn't that senior brother just say that this strange disease is extremely contagious, and you still dare to go to the Spirit Priest Palace?"

Li Ji stopped and turned around and said, "By the way, you'd better stay in the Divine Wind Temple, at least it is located in the Cloud Peak, the highest peak of the Shenlong Mountain Range, and the distance from the temples under the mountain is far away, the environment is secluded, and it should be safer." ”

Princess Wukang said: "I'm not afraid, I'm also going to the Spirit Palace, who is afraid of who is a puppy!"

As he spoke, he glared at Xi'er with his eyes, and Xi'er was a little embarrassed by her, so she quickly lowered her head.

Li Ji said to stop him: "Xi'er, you help the princess back to the Kamikaze Courtyard, Old Man Yu is still on the mountain! ”

Xi'er Yingying gave a salute, her eyes were a little red, and said, "But isn't it too dangerous for Li Gongzi to be alone......"

Li Ji shrugged and said, "It's okay, I'll take care of myself." ”

Ciel's brows were tightly knit and her eyes were closed, as if she was suffering from the slightest reluctance. After a long time, after some struggle, her eyelids finally trembled and opened a slight gap, and a few tears quietly slipped down, nodded and said, "Li Gongzi, take care, then, then we will go back." ”

After speaking, he wanted to take Princess Wukang back to the Kamikaze Temple.

Princess Wukang suddenly shook off her hands and shouted angrily: "This princess doesn't need your help, so I won't go back to the Kamikaze Courtyard!"

Li Ji persuaded him bitterly: "The princess should go back with Xi'er!"

Princess Wukang said: "Don't you want to leave me again, I won't go back this time." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xi'er instantly appeared behind Princess Wukang and directly knocked her unconscious.

Faced with Xi'er's sudden attack, Li Ji was stunned and said, "Xi, Xi'er, you, you actually knocked the princess unconscious?"

Xi'er glanced at him and said calmly, "If you don't do this, will she listen to you?"

When Li Ji heard this, he felt that what Xi'er said also made some sense, it was useless to reason with Princess Wukang, and he would face many dangers when he went to the Spirit Palace, and his life and death were uncertain.

Li Ji praised: "Xi'er is calm and decisive in the face of things, and I admire it!"

Xi'er said quietly: "Li Gongzi's instructions, Xi'er will try her best to complete it, even if her liver and brain are ruined, she has no regrets in this life." ”

Li Ji was speechless when he saw Xi'er's sincere words.

"Poof" Xi'er covered her mouth and chuckled a few times, looked at Li Ji with deep meaning: "Xi'er is just talking, and Li Gongzi doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

"Haha......" The two glanced at each other and laughed at the same time, so they cherished each other and said goodbye.

Li Ji came to the Lingshi Hall alone, and saw that the atmosphere around him was solemn, and the door was full of disciples covered with white cloths.

Li Ji was stopped by the disciple guarding the door and was told: "You are not allowed to approach the forbidden area without permission, please return quickly!"

When Li Ji was frowning, a familiar figure appeared at the door, and he shouted from a distance: "Senior brother......"

Li Ji fixed his eyes and saw that the person who came was tall and mighty, although he was covered with a white cloth and only showed two big eyes, but he could vaguely see that it was Senior Brother Wei Hu, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Senior Brother, it turns out that you are here! What happened?"

Wei Hu pulled Li Ji aside and whispered, "It's a long story, why did you come down the mountain?"

Li Ji said: "I saw that you were all gone, and when I asked later, I found out that something had happened to the Spirit Temple, so I went down the mountain to take a look." ”

Wei Hu said with a serious expression: "Master didn't call you and Senior Sister, presumably because he was worried that you were still inexperienced and unable to deal with this disaster, and it was safest to be in the Kamikaze Academy at this time, so go back quickly!"

Li Ji heard Wei Hu mention Xinyan, and suddenly asked, "By the way, senior brother, have you seen senior sister?"

Wei Hu frowned and said, "No, isn't she in the Kamikaze Courtyard?"

Li Ji sighed in his heart, secretly said that it was not good, and said, "No, I thought she went down the mountain to find you." ”

Wei Hu paced back and forth a few steps, and said with a blank expression: "Nothing will happen, right?"

Li Ji was suddenly anxious, so he told all the snow wolf attacks in the back mountain, and Wei Hu broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it.

Wei Hu said: "This matter is very related, I will go in and tell the master and ask him to be the old man." ”

Li Ji said: "Senior brother, I will also go with you." ”

Wei Hu said: "The situation here is far more serious than imagined, I am worried about ......"

Li Ji said: "Senior brother don't worry about me, Shennong Villa is in trouble, as a disciple, everyone is responsible, how can you stand by and watch?"

Wei Hu said: "Okay, then let's go with me to meet Master and Uncle together!"

Li Ji was overjoyed, followed Wei Hu into the Lingshi Palace, passed through several woodcarved corridors, only to see the pavilions and pavilions scattered, the beautiful scenery of the garden was deep and intoxicating, such as being in a fairyland,

Along the way, I met many white-clothed disciples, with square scarves on their faces, walking in a hurry, and when they met each other, they just paid attention to each other, and then left silently, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.

About a cup of tea kung fu, came to a splendid hall, covered glazed tiles on the top, made bluestone strips on the bottom, eaves and arches, the construction is exquisite, magnificent and magnificent.

Li Ji came here once a few days ago and knew that this was the main hall of the owner of the village, Yulong.

Wei Hu reported outside the hall: "Disciple Wei Hu has something important to report. ”

After the white-clothed disciple guarding the door went in to report, he immediately turned around and came out, signaling the two to enter the hall.

In the main hall, I saw that the leaders of the three halls and the seven academicians were all sitting on the futon, and I only heard the owner of the village, Yulong Zhenren, say slowly: "Now this strange disease is very strange, Senior Brother Yuquan, this time it started to break out from the Spirit Palace, you can tell me what is going on." ”

Yuquan Zhenren said respectfully: "Yes, senior brother." Yesterday, during the first round of martial arts, a disciple suddenly had diarrhea and failed to participate in the competition, and at night it began to become serious, with fever, cough, vomiting and other symptoms, and finally went crazy and died, during which it was less than a day. Unexpectedly, several disciples had the same symptoms one after another this morning, and they were out of control. Seeing that the situation was serious, I immediately isolated these disciples and reported them to my senior brother and the various temples. ”

"Senior Brother Yuquan, when the first case of abnormal symptoms appears, it should be reported to the palaces in time. You have delayed until now, concealed and not reported, what a terrible consequence it has caused, in addition to the many disciples of the Spirit Hall who have been infected with strange diseases, even the disciples of other halls have been infected one after another, and the situation is extremely serious. ”

The one who spoke was a long-bearded old man, tall and thin, who was the head of the Golden Dragon Academy, the Golden Dragon Daoist, and he had never been convinced by Yuquan Zhenren, thinking that he was just a martial idiot, and it was difficult for him to be able to take charge of the Lingshi Palace, one of the three major halls of Shennong Villa.

Yuquan is truly humane: "Senior Brother Jinlong, you can't say that, I didn't expect such serious consequences." ”

"Senior Brother Yuquan, I'm afraid you won't be able to run away from this responsibility. ”

The head of the Daoist who sat in the fourth place was the Daoist of the Fire Phoenix Courtyard, and he swept the dust in his hand, and he also had a lot of complaints about the real people of Yuquan.

However, the Qifa Daoist who was sitting in a certain seat said: "I don't think I can completely blame Senior Brother Yuquan, in this case, the best way is to find out the root cause of this strange disease first, and then find a solution." ”

The Brave Martial Dao Leader of the Heavenly Thunder Academy and the Ghost Doctor Dao Leader of the Purple Electric Academy also supported the opinions of the Qifa Dao Chief.
