Chapter 55 The Girl in Purple
The sky was a little gray, and in the maple forest in the north of the town, there was a dead air, and there were sick birds and beasts and dead animal corpses everywhere, and there was silence between the heavens and the earth. The wind swept and the yellow leaves danced in the wind, making this maple forest look a little more vivid.
The girl in purple walked in the maple forest, her body was light, like the spirit of the world, bringing hope and vitality. She held a small medicine pot in her hand, and poured out a black medicine pill from the pot, and the sick old wild deer saw the medicine pill, and opened her mouth obediently, and the girl put the medicine pill into the mouth of the old wild deer, and then stroked the old deer's fluffy and slippery head, and said in a wail, "You have suffered, take the medicine, sleep well, and the illness will be cured." The old deer was very spiritual, and sure enough, he closed his eyes, and two lines of turbid tears flowed from his eyes.
Yang Su saw this scene, a little moved, although he is not proficient in medicine, but also dabbled, these birds and beasts in the maple forest, nine times out of ten, are born with epidemics, the epidemic is extremely contagious, everyone avoids it, if ordinary people are close to these sick animals, they will inevitably be infected. This girl dared to come alone to treat them, and she thought that she was also a cultivator.
He once read a book on the prevention and treatment of plagues, in which people usually isolate the place where the plague occurs and then set it on fire and burn it completely to prevent future troubles, which is cruel but extremely effective in containing the plague. Of course, these are the practices of the world, and in the eyes of the Taoists, the plague is just a manifestation of evil magic, and the essence of things is the dispute between Dao and demons after all, which shows that this place has been infected by evil demons. Evil magic has to be eliminated by Taoist arts, and it is difficult to cure it with just a few pills.
Although Yang Su can resist the invasion of the plague, he does not have the Dao technique to drive out the plague, and his heart is more than enough. When he walked into the maple forest, the girl looked at him vigilantly, Yang Su smiled easily, not wanting to make the atmosphere too tense, "These animals live here, it is inevitable that they will be attacked by the plague, and your medicine may not be effective." ”
Seeing that Yang Su had no malicious intent, the purple-clothed girl relaxed her vigilance, carried the medicine pot, and silently walked to the next target, "I know, I just can't bear to watch them suffer and die." The girl held a pill in her hand and choked up a little, "This is not an antidote to the plague, it's just a sleeping pill that I refined myself, and after they fall asleep, they may not wake up again tomorrow." ”
Some people say that if you don't know what you can't do, you're a fool, you're a sage, and if you know you can't do it, you're a sage. He didn't know if what he said was right or not, what things in the world, what to do, what not to do, who could say clearly? However, Yang Su knew that this girl in purple must be very desperate in her heart, so that she could only do these useless things to express comfort. There is no greater affection than this.
He closed his eyes, entered a state of selflessness, and used the Yuan Shen to feel the hidden origin breath in the void, with his current cultivation, he could barely perceive a radius of ten miles. After some investigation, he was shocked in his heart, this whole town was actually shrouded in an evil aura, Yang Su knew that this evil qi was the root of the plague, and only by using great mana to disperse these evil qi could the plague be truly lifted.
What surprised him the most was that the girl in purple was not an imaginary cultivator, she was just an ordinary person with few fluctuations in spiritual power. Yang Su was very puzzled in her heart, how could an ordinary person resist the plague? If someone cast an antidote spell on her, it would definitely leave traces, but her body was like a blank sheet of paper. This purple-clothed girl must have a very special physique, the kind of person who can naturally resist the plague.
Yang Su helped the purple-clothed girl collect the carcasses of the animals in the forest, burned the fire into ashes, and buried it under an old tree.
"I am a disciple on Heavenly Sword Mountain, my name is Yang Su. ”
"Heavenly Sword Mountain?" the girl was puzzled, "Is there such a place?"
Yang Su was helpless in his heart, although the scenery here is similar to the Netherworld, it may not be the Netherworld, "That place is very remote and not famous." This kind of thing can't be explained, and he can only casually pass it on.
The girl smiled, "The old priest is well-informed, he will definitely know." ”
The old priest in the town is the nine-rank priest of the Tianyin Sect, who lives in the largest hall in the town, lives in a simple house, and is the most prestigious and knowledgeable person in the town. Such a person holds an ancient book in his hand all the year round, making a thoughtful appearance, and the ancient books in his hand must be those heavenly books that ordinary people can't touch or understand at all.
"Heavenly Sword Mountain, there is no such place in the world. What the old priest said was categorical, he never doubted his own knowledge, as long as it was something that he could conclude, it was certain, he was the absolute authority in the town, he looked at Yang Su contemptuously, "Young man, you are standing in this temple now, everything you do can't escape the eyes of the Supreme People, and lying will be punished." Who the hell are you?"
Yang Su felt a trace of coercion, and the purple-clothed girl stood aside, at a loss.
"Tianjian Mountain is just our internal name, outsiders don't know it, and the small sect has no name, and there are only a few woodcutters who live in seclusion in the mountains. Yang Su was wary of this Tianyin Sect, and casually talked nonsense, the girl in purple was kind-hearted, but this old priest was a clear old fox, so he had to be on guard.
"Really?" the old priest obviously didn't believe it, "the cultivation of the woodcutter in the deep mountains can actually resist the plague here, it seems that the old man I am too lonely and unheard." ”
Yang Su was irritable in his heart, this old thing is very difficult to fool, it seems that he has strayed into the tiger's den, but with his current cultivation, he is not afraid, but it is expected that this Tianyin Sect tree has deep roots, and it may not be that there is no master who can kill him. He still knew nothing about the enemy he was going to face, so he didn't dare to act recklessly, and said with a smile, "My generation has lived in the mountains for a long time, and I don't know anything about the world, although I have some slight deeds, but it is only stagnant water in a dry well, how dare I trust it? The old priest is highly respected and powerful like a river, how dare my generation be disrespectful? ”
When the old priest heard these compliments, a smile appeared on his face, and he gradually became more suspicious, "You have lived in seclusion for a long time, and you have cultivated immortal arts, and now you have gone down the mountain, why don't you join my Tianyin Sect and seek a priesthood?
Yang Su was unhappy in his heart, this Tianyin Sect was too shameless, did all the monks in the world have to join this sect, and the priesthood was in his body, so he could be regarded as a cultivator? However, after thinking about it, the current situation, if he refused, he would definitely be jealous of this Tianyin Sect, he forcibly suppressed the resentment in his heart, and said with a smile, "I can't ask for it." ”
The old priest arranged a place for Yang Su in the side hall, saying that he would take him to Guangling City later, and only the archmage of the Guardian in Guangling City would be qualified to appoint him for the matter of initiation and priesthood.
The purple-clothed girl stood in front of Yang Su with an apologetic expression, "The old priest is like this, he likes to attract people to the sect the most, I shouldn't have brought you here." ”
"There's nothing wrong with joining the church, at least with this big backer, life will always be better. Yang Su smiled indifferently, such a result, in his opinion, was actually not too bad, besides, he was curious about the girl in purple, and he didn't want to leave easily. Yang Su is such a person, once he has doubts in his heart, he must solve these doubts, no matter what kind of means he uses or what kind of process he goes through, it doesn't matter at all. He has never been afraid to face it, it was like this when he was weak, and now that he is strong, he still does.
Although the girl in purple is just an ordinary person, she doesn't look very shrewd, but her mind is surprisingly delicate, "I can see that what you like is freedom, and you don't want to be locked up in such a palace." ”
Yang Su was stunned, this was indeed his intention, "How can you see it?"
The girl smiled mysteriously, "Guess." ”
Yang Su shook his head, he really couldn't guess, "Actually, what you said is not entirely right, I may have been what you said before, and it may not be like this in the future, I like it here." When I officially join the Tianyin Sect and receive the priesthood in the future, I will no longer be a nobody, and I may be able to become a priest. Yang Suyan couldn't help it, because he noticed that there was a strange aura flowing in the room, which was exactly the same as that of the old priest, and the old fox didn't fully believe him at all.
The girl in purple looked a little disappointed, "Since you want to be a priest, start by understanding this town, you may be assigned to a certain town in the future, you can't understand the world." The seriousness she said made Yang Su feel as if she would really become a priest of the Tianyin Sect in the future, "It's not so easy to be a priest, and it's even more difficult to be a good priest." ”
Yang Su naturally wouldn't refuse, he pretended to say, "I will definitely be a good priest in the future." His tone was sincere and he was about to believe it, he knew that if he wanted to hide from the old fox, he had to lie to himself first, "By the way, I don't know what your name is?"
"My name is Lixi, and the old priest gave me the name, and he said that I was a fairy from Lishan. The girl in purple was a little shy, "Actually, I'm just an ordinary person, very ordinary." ”
Yang Su felt that Lishan was not simple, not ordinary at all, he preferred to believe in the statement of the Lishan fairy, maybe it was really the reincarnation of the fairy. However, this statement came from the mouth of the old fox, Yang Su always felt weird, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, but he couldn't say it.
Li Xi led Yang Su to walk in the town, this town is called Fengyu Town, the crowd is bustling, very prosperous, and there is no appearance of suffering from disasters at all.
Yang Su felt strange in his heart and asked, "Isn't there a plague here? Why are these people okay at all?"
This was the first thing the priests had to do, to keep the land and the people safe. Li Ji taught earnestly, which made Yang Su cry and laugh, "The plague originally spread to the entire town, and the old priest cast a spell to cure them for them, so that everyone could be safe and sound." ”
"The animals in the maple grove?"
As soon as Li Xi heard the maple forest, her expression changed suddenly, and she looked very melancholy, "That place is quite special, and the high priest can't do anything. ”
Yang Su didn't know what this special represented, he knew very well that the evil qi in this town had not been dispelled, how did the old priest suppress the poisonous gas in these people's bodies? It was not easy to figure out this problem, even if there were traces of magic in the bodies of the townspeople, it was difficult for Yang Su to assert how this spell worked. His knowledge is limited after all.
The two of them walked around Fengyu Town, this town is no different from the town that Yang Su has experienced, except for worshipping the poor totem everywhere and respecting the Tianyin Sect like a god. There are poor people and rich people in the town, there are officials with knives and babbling, there are poor people who bow their heads and beg for a living, there are children who frolic and there are old people who lazily lie on rocking chairs and bask in the sun.
The officials carried a handful of corpses into the town, causing quite a stir, and among those corpses, there was a person dressed in black and red robes. This costume is a god in their hearts, and the gods can also be harmed by people? This is not a trivial matter, the people of the town talked about it.
Yang Su smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew that this was the case, and he would destroy the corpse. He realized that he had really underestimated the energy of the Tianyin Sect at that time, and the deacon of the Tianyin Sect was the god of the town, so how could he not be taken seriously? It is impossible to erase any existence without a trace, and even if a saint erases an existence from the world line, it may be a complete gap, leaving a loophole.
