Chapter Seventy-Seven: Finding the Source
(a)
The streets filled with black fog were deserted, and as far as the eye could see, the entire town of Lanfeng was as silent as death.
On the rooftop next to the street, two figures, one white and one gray, shuttled rapidly.
"Help, help. ”
The sudden cry for help made Bai Hua stop suddenly.
Immediately, Senior Brother Li was also stunned, and reflexively hurriedly asked her, "Senior Brother Bai, what's wrong with you?"
"I seem to hear someone crying for help. ”
"Help?" Senior Brother Li looked around, but never heard it.
"I'll take a look. ”
After speaking, Bai Hua jumped off the roof, and then looked around carefully for the sound. Finally, I found someone on the corner of the street not far away.
I saw a little girl doll about five or six years old leaning weakly against the wall, and her little face also faintly showed abscesses.
"Little sister~" Bai Hua walked up to her quickly, and then leaned down and called softly.
Hearing the call, the little girl doll struggled to tremble her long eyelashes, and slowly opened her eyes.
The little girl moved her chapped lips, and looked straight at Bai Hua with a pair of big black eyes.
Seeing that she was talking about something, Bai Hua moved closer to her again, wanting to listen carefully.
"Water..."
Although the sound was like a mosquito and a fly, Bai Hua still heard it clearly.
"Wait, I'll get you some water. ”
After saying that, Bai Hua got up and was about to look for it.
"Don't go, I'm afraid. ”
But the little girl doll hurriedly stopped her again.
Hearing this, Bai Hua knelt on one knee, raised a smile on his face, and comforted: "I'm not leaving, I'll stay with you." ”
"Sister ~ Flowers know you. The little face suddenly looked a little excited, and there was a slightly surprised face reflected in the black pupils.
Sister?!
This sudden statement made Bai Hua a little confused. Now she is dressed as a man, but how does this little girl know that she is a daughter?
Bai Hua looked at her intently, and asked puzzledly, "What did you call me just now?"
"Sister, Fanhua is under the locust tree outside the gate of the Blessing Temple, I have seen you. Although Fanhua's eyes were a little dilated at this time, her words were firm.
Bai Hua pondered for a moment, and said to himself: "Blessing Temple?"
"You were asleep, and the god-like brother was holding you all the time. The flowers have been seen, and the flowers are still ... Ahem, ahem..."
Before she could finish speaking, Fanhua coughed violently, and then a mouthful of blood gushed out of her mouth.
"Senior Brother Bai~" At this time, Senior Brother Li also stood behind the two.
Bai Hua reflexed and said, "Senior Brother Li, can you help me find some water." ”
Senior Brother Li was puzzled, but when he saw the abscesses on Fanhua's face, he immediately pulled Bai Hua back a little distance, and said, "Senior Brother Bai, she has..."
Bai Hua snatched Bai in a deep voice, "I know." Sneaking a glance at the person on the ground, he held back his emotions and lowered his voice: "I know she... It's almost gone. ”
Looking at Bai Hua, whose eyes were already full of mist, Senior Brother Li sighed lightly, "You wait, I'll go find it." But, don't get too close. ”
"Thank you. Bai Hua bowed slightly, and after speaking, he squatted down two steps away from Fanhua.
"Flowers~"
The thin body couldn't help but tremble when she heard the sound, Fanhua lowered her head to look at the blood stains on her clothes, and looked up at Bai Hua suddenly, "Sister, am I going to die? I, I haven't found my grandfather yet." ”
The dark eyes reflected great horror and fear, and tears could not stop flowing down the pale face.
Bai Hua nodded slightly, tried hard to collect the tears rolling in his eyes, pulled a smile at Fanhua, and comforted: "Fanhua, you won't die, my sister will find a way to save you." ”
Clenched hands turned white, Bai Hua cursed as he made a promise to an innocent child that he would never keep.
"It's all to blame for the flowers in the valley, woo woo~"
Valley?flowers?!
Bai Hua's eyes lit up, he turned his head to look at Fanhua, and hurriedly asked, "Fanhua, what valley, what flower?"
"Pea, ahem... The other side of the valley, cough cough cough..."
Fanhua looked sideways into the distance, but before she could make her words clear, she coughed violently again. This time, the violent cough seemed to tear her organs apart.
As the heart-rending cough became more and more severe, the abscesses that had been looming on the face were now covered all over the face. Fanhua clutched her chest in pain, and curled up on the ground again.
Bai Hua's heart tightened, and he wanted to step forward to support her. However, with the sound of a porcelain bowl behind him, he suddenly felt that his whole body was pulled back. Immediately after, there was a scolding.
"Senior Brother Bai, you don't want to die?!"
Bai Hua bit his lip tightly and looked sideways at the person behind him.
Senior Brother Li slowly let go of Bai Hua and glanced at the dying person on the ground, and his eyes flashed with heartache that could not be concealed.
After a long time, Senior Brother Li closed his eyes, held back his emotions, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to save everyone in the town, you shouldn't waste any more time. There's nothing we can do about this kid. ”
Powerless!
These four words, like a sharp blade, penetrated deep into Bai Hua's heart.
(b)
At the gate of Lanfeng Town, a black barrier blocked the way for the two of them to go outside the town.
"Wait, there's something blocking the way up ahead, and it looks like someone has set up an enchantment. Bai Hua hurriedly stopped the person who was about to go out.
"Where is the enchantment?" Senior Brother Li couldn't see it right now, so he was confused.
Bai Hua was stunned, so he pointed to the door and asked, "You really didn't see the black gas lingering at the door?"
Senior Brother Li turned around and half-squinted, and looked carefully for a while, but still shook his head and said, "I didn't see it." ”
Strange, am I the only one who sees it?
The doubts were unsolved, but the Wufu in his hand trembled slightly at this time.
"Wufu, what's wrong with you?" Bai Hua asked with a deep gaze as he looked at Wufu.
At this time, Wufu let out a deafening whisper, and then quickly spun and broke free of Bai Hua's hand, turning into a white light and speeding towards the town gate.
"No vain~" Bai Hua shouted and hurriedly followed. Seeing this, Senior Brother Li on the side also followed.
With a low humming sound, the Senseless Diameter collided with the barrier. Then, with a muffled sound, a large hole was broken in the barrier of the town gate.
When Bai Hua found the Wufu Sword floating in the air outside the door, he turned his head sideways and urged the person behind him, "Senior Brother Li, hurry up." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the black mist that lingered around the gate began to mend the barrier on its own. Both of them increased their speed and quickly passed through the barrier.
The sky outside the town was dark, and the blue sky was cloudless and clear as jasper.
Senior Brother Li gasped for breath, and the enchantment he saw when he crossed the town gate made him reflexively look back again. However, the scene on both sides of the town gate made him dumbfounded.
Dozens of shriveled corpses lay on both sides, in a horrible state. Obviously, these were the people who wanted to escape from the town when the plague broke out, but unfortunately, like themselves, they didn't realize that there was an enchantment at the town's gates.
"Senior Brother Li~" Bai Hua withdrew his sword and shouted at Senior Brother Li, who was standing in place.
Shocked, Senior Brother Li was stunned when he heard the voice, and he was stunned for a moment before turning to Bai Huayan and thanking him: "Thanks to Senior Brother Bai, otherwise, I would have been like them at this time." ”
Bai Hua nodded slightly, then pointed sideways to the woods in front of him, and asked, "Senior Brother Li, are you going from that side in the other side of the valley?"
Following the direction of her finger, Senior Brother Li bowed his head, "Yes, it's over there." ”
After speaking, Senior Brother Li was a little puzzled, and said, "How did Senior Brother Bai know? The name of the valley was just taken by a few old people in the town, and if it weren't for the people of Lanfeng Town, they wouldn't know it." ”
"You see, there is a steady stream of black gas coming towards the town from that direction, and I think the source of the black fog should be over there. Bai Hua pointed to the sky and explained to Senior Brother Li.
It's weird, why can't I see it?!
Senior Brother Li half-squinted and looked back and forth in the air for a few times, but he really didn't see anything except the clean blue sky that didn't even have a trace of floating.
"You, can't you see it?" Bai Hua asked cautiously when he saw Senior Brother Li's blank face.
Retracting his gaze at the sky, Senior Brother Li shook his head in a wooden manner, twisted his eyebrows and looked at Bai Hua again, and guessed: "I, is there something wrong with my eyes?"
Bai Hua pursed his lips and didn't answer, then lowered his eyes and rolled his eyes, combing it himself.
Since I woke up today, strange things have happened to me one after another. From the sudden recovery of the body, to the movement of the breath in the body, and finally even the senses and vision are extremely sensitive. All of this is from...
Thinking of this time, Bai Hua's eyes flashed, and he lifted the corners of his eyes, and said silently in his heart: Could it be because of the cinnabar red mole that disappeared out of thin air?

Partial hospital,
Shiraishi paced anxiously back and forth in the room, his hands clenched tightly in front of his chest.
"Senior Brother Shiraishi, don't keep walking back and forth, let's take a sip of tea first. Ruan Guan took a sip of tea, mixed another cup, got up and handed it to Bai Shi.
Bai Shi shook his head, raised his hand to block the teacup handed over, and declined: "Hey, I can't drink it, I didn't see the master and them coming, I'm in a hurry." There is also Senior Brother Xiaobai, I am also very worried. ”
Changing from his previous gentle appearance, Ruan Wan glanced at the teacup in his hand with a calm face, reflexively rested it lightly on the table, turned his back to Baishi, and snorted coldly: "Heh, of course you should be worried." Let a woman charge into battle, and you are here alone waiting for help. You say, 'Do you have a nest?'
Bai Shi trembled, looked at Ruan Guan with surprise in his eyes, and said with the corners of his mouth trembling: "Ruan, Ruan Guan, what's wrong with you?"
