Chapter Seventy-Three: A Sudden Plague

(a)

The starry sky is vast and the moonlight is faint.

I saw Qin Binbin standing on the hillside not far away, looking at Bai Hua, and smiling: "If I die and I come to you as another person, can you still recognize Senior Brother Qin?"

"Senior Brother Qin?" Bai Hua staggered in place, all of this felt unreal.

The ink silk in Tsing Yi fluttered in the wind, and gradually wisps of white mist suddenly rose around him, and his figure gradually became blurred.

"Bai Hua, don't forget me. ”

His figure disappeared into the hillside with an ethereal voice.

"Senior Brother Qin!"

There was a muffled thunderstorm, and Bai Hua woke up from his sleep.

"Bai Hua, are you alright?" Ruan Wan asked with a worried expression as he stood on the edge of the bed.

"It's fine. Bai Hua sat up slowly, his forehead was already covered with light sweat.

Judging from the surrounding furnishings, it is obvious that he is in the room of an inn at this time.

After looking at it for a while, Bai Hua stood up again, grabbed Ruan Guan's hand, and hurriedly asked, "Qin, where is Senior Brother Qin?"

Ruan Wan silently lowered his head and whispered: "He is dead, and seeing that he still wants to return to his homeland before he dies, I buried him in the woods behind the hillside." ”

He's dead?

Bai Hua's face was pale, his body was weak, he sat on the bed, and said to himself: "He died to save me." ”

Seeing her extremely self-reproachful look, Ruan Guan also looked extremely distressed.

"Bai Hua, don't blame yourself, you are not what Senior Brother Qin wants to see?" Ruan Wan sat aside, patted Bai Hua's shoulder, and comforted, "I have actually been hiding not far away, and I hurriedly ran over when I heard your cry." Senior Brother Qin, he finally left with a smile. ”

Tears rolled and overflowed from the already red and swollen eyes. Bai Hua lowered his head and took a deep breath, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes twice, and said to Ruan Guan: "Ruan Guan, let's go." ”

"Where are you going?" Ruan Wan stood up with a confused expression.

Bai Hua's expression darkened, and he responded softly, "I want to take another look at Senior Brother Qin." After all..."

Before they could finish speaking, the two of them heard screams outside the window. Bai Hua reflexively walked to the windowsill and hurriedly opened the window.

The sky was dark, and the air was filled with a disgusting putrid stench, and the whole town was surrounded by a black fog, making it impossible to tell the hour.

I saw several corpses lying on the street not far away, with puscesses on their faces, and the death made people's scalps tingle.

Pestilence?!

Bai Hua immediately closed the window, and hurriedly took a white cloth from the tripod on the side and soaked it in water.

"Ruan Guan, you quickly cover your nose with this, and when you go out later, don't take it down. Bai Hua twisted the white cloth, split it in two, and handed it to Ruan Guan.

Ruan Wan hesitated for a moment, reached out and took the strip of cloth, and asked again, "What's the matter?"

"It's like there's an outbreak, and I don't know yet, so let's go to the senior brother in the town and ask first. Bai Hua tightened the strip of cloth tied behind his head again, and asked sideways: "Ruan Guan, are you okay, we have to hurry." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes inadvertently swept to the bronze mirror on the side. Bai Hua paused, raised his hand and touched his hair bun, and looked at himself in the bronze mirror with stunned eyes.

Where's my hairpin?!

At this time, the luster that flashed in the beautiful eyes of the person standing behind Bai Hua seemed to contain some unknown meaning. Just for a moment, it's back to normal.

Ruan Wan walked up to Bai Hua and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?" Didn't you say you had to go faster? ”

Did it fall into a room in the other courtyard?

Bai Hua pondered for a moment, but the only hope she had for now was there.

Seeing that she was stunned in place, Ruan Wan gently pushed her arm, raised another tone, and continued to ask, "Bai Hua, what's wrong with you?"

The divine sense was pulled back, and Bai Hua hurriedly responded: "It's nothing, let's go quickly." ”

With that, the two of them hurried out again.

Passing through the alley with few people, I finally arrived at the door of a literary and ink shop after a few twists and turns.

"First thought of Qingshan?" Ruan Guan silently recited the four big characters on the plaque, and then asked Bai Hua, "This is where the senior brothers in the town live?"

Bai Hua bowed slightly, and said categorically: "Well, this is it." ”

When I came back to Lanfeng Town, I overheard Baishi mention that this 'first thought' is actually the 'Remembrance Mountain' that it represents.

At this point, the closed door opened from the inside. Then, a white and a gray walked out of the door.

"Bai Shi?!" Bai Hua shouted loudly.

The two people standing outside the door were both half-covering their faces, and Bai Shi then half-squinted, his eyes walked up and down Bai Hua, and said tentatively: "You are... Senior Brother Xiaobai?"

"Yes, it's me. Bai Hua immediately removed the white cloth covering his face.

Bai Shi was unspeakably excited, and walked to Bai Hua tremblingly, "But I received a letter from the blue bird, so the master sent someone?"

"Why do you look so weak?"

Seeing that Bai Shi's face was pale, and the gray-clothed man behind him also had a solemn face, coupled with this sudden black mist plague, Bai Hua guessed that something must have happened.

Without waiting for an answer, Ruan Guan, who was beside him, stepped forward and asked, "What is going on here?"

Bai Shi nodded sideways at the man in gray, and the man in gray turned around and walked in again.

"Let's go, let's go in. ”

With that, Shiraishi led the two into the courtyard.

Bai Hua and the others followed Bai Shi through the front yard, walked for a while, and stopped outside the gate of a side courtyard.

At this time, I saw the gray-clothed man just now walk out of the courtyard and say to Baishi, "Things are ready." ”

"There's Senior Brother Lao Li. Bai Shi waved his hand, and then turned to Bai Hua and the others: "You go and change the clothes in the room first, and then burn your clothes." ”

"Senior Brother Baishi, why do you want to burn our clothes?" Ruan Wan lowered his eyes and looked at his clothes, as if he didn't understand.

Shiraishi hurriedly explained, "When you came, your clothes must have been filled with the plague released by the black mist. If you don't replace it in time, when it penetrates into your skin, it will be the same as those people on the street. ”

Raising his finger and pointing at the black qi in the sky, Bai Shi took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Hua, "Senior Brother Xiaobai, these powders can isolate the plague, when you change them, sprinkle more on your clothes." I'm in the next room, and I'll tell you the ins and outs of the future when you're done. ”

At the same time, the mountain of remembrance.

In the early morning, the mountains are filled with a light veil of mist. Gradually, a white fish's belly appeared in the eastern sky, and the earth lit up.

Three bells struck the silence. With the guidance of the colorful flags on both sides of the road, the mighty crowd is heading in the direction of the Mingxin Palace.

"It's hard, it's hard. ”

"This way, this way, please. ”

Kong Ming stood at the intersection of the road leading to the Mingxin Hall early in the morning, and at this moment he was greeting the envoys from all walks of life with a smile on his face.

Why hasn't this empty beard junior brother come out yet?

Taking advantage of the gap, Kong Ming turned back and looked in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Seeing this, Sheng He on the side asked in a low voice: "Master, are you looking for the void Su Daoren?"

Kong Ming looked sideways at Sheng He, pursed his lips and thought for a while, then pulled him to his side, and said in a low voice: "Sheng He, you go and have a look." ”

Sheng He bowed slightly, turned around and walked quickly in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The hour was approaching, and the morning light came through the cracks in the clouds, sprinkled warmly in the courtyard.

The Netherworld stood in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, and his body was also covered with a soft halo. He looked at the door of the courtyard, the orange warm light circulating in his eyes.

At this time, Zehuang walked out of the room.

"The wound on your hand is attached to the evil spirit qi, this wound is not easy to heal, do not use the spiritual power in your body for a short time. Ze Huang walked over to the Netherworld and whispered.

Slowly retracting his gaze, Netherworld looked sideways at Ze Huang, and slowly spoke, "I know." ”

Chi Yan also walked out of the room at this time, and when he saw that the two of them were already standing in the courtyard, he hurriedly waved at him and said, "Eh, are you all up?"

After speaking, he yelled at the room where September lived, "September, don't get up, we're leaving." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw September hurriedly open the door and responded: "Coming, coming." ”

The four of them walked outside the courtyard, and the ghost slowly stopped.

"What's wrong with you?" Chi Yan saw that he hadn't followed, and then reflexively asked curiously.

Squinting his eyes, he glanced in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and faintly replied, "Let's go." ”

A long row of pergolas was set up on the stone steps outside the Mingxin Palace, and the tables and chairs inside were neatly placed with fruits and tea sets, and the six lower immortal disciples were also standing respectfully in the back.

In the center of the huge venue stood the disciples of Yeshamen and Cangxuanmen who came to compete, and the rest of the disciples who came to watch were also standing in two columns.

Kong Ming stood at the bottom of the stone steps and glanced at the two still empty positions beside him, and secretly thought to himself: Why haven't these two Fire Realm envoys come yet?

At this time, I saw Sheng He hurrying towards him. Seeing his panicked expression, Kong Ming hurriedly walked up to him, lowered his voice, and asked, "How is it, have you found Kong Whisker?"

Sheng He shook his head slightly, "No, the entire Heart Cultivation Hall is empty." ”

Kong Ming frowned, pulled Sheng He closer, and said, "Then the two envoys of the Fire Realm are not inside?"

As if suddenly thinking of something, Kong Ming continued to ask, "Where is Qin Binbin?"

"I haven't seen it either. ”

The two envoys of the Empty Beard and the Fire Realm, plus Qin Binbin, who had all broken meridians, these four people actually disappeared out of thin air?!

Thinking of this, an ominous premonition lingered in Sora's heart.

Don't ask why you buried the pit like this, many things are reflected in the chapters.

If you look closely, you will find clues from it.

The reason for the matter, Benjun said slowly.
