Chapter 111: Cremation of the Dead to Eliminate the Plague
(a)
"Those people yesterday were not disciples of Nian Shan at all. ”
Looking for prestige, I saw Qingfeng Daoren of Cangxuanmen leading all the disciples to come towards it quickly.
Seeing this, Sora hurriedly greeted him, and greeted him steadily: "Qingfeng Daoren~"
"Kusu Daoren~" Qingfeng bowed his head slightly, and arched his hand in response.
After performing the due courtesy, Qingfeng walked in front of the middle-aged man again, and said solemnly: "Down is the breeze of Cangxuanmen." ”
As he spoke, he took off the wooden card from his waist again, handed it to the middle-aged man, and continued: "I can testify that those people yesterday were indeed not disciples of Nian Mountain. ”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man stretched out his hand with some hesitation, and when his fingers barely touched the waist card, he seemed to be frightened and withdrew his hand.
"Are you really the ones who are on top of the clouds?"
As he asked, he cautiously took half a step back, and after his suspicious gaze wandered over Qingfeng a few times, he then looked sideways at the group behind him.
The group of people dressed in water-patterned green robes, all holding long swords, have a good appearance, giving people a sense of birth and cultivation, and the fairy wind of Taoist bones.
"The mayor of the town, it seems, seems to be the one who is at the top of the clouds. At this time, an old man behind him whispered to him.
"Uncle Zhang, you can take a closer look..."
The old man half-squinted his eyes and looked at Qingfeng again, and then replied firmly: "On the eve of the Heavenly God Sacrifice, when I went to worship at the altar of the gods, I did see him leading the rest of the disciples down from the top of the clouds. ”
Right now, although someone came forward to testify, the middle-aged man's face was still uncertain. Wu thought to himself for a moment, and then he asked Qingfeng again, "Those people yesterday are really not the disciples of Nian Shan Shan Sect?"
Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Qingfeng pursed his lips and withdrew his waist card, raised his hand and pointed to the disciples who were tired from carrying the corpses, and asked, "Since they came, what has happened to you at this time?"
As soon as the question came out, the middle-aged man couldn't help but be stunned.
Before he could reply, Qingfeng walked over to the wooden frame where the corpses were piled up and said, "The people here have all been killed by evil spirits, and if they are not burned on the spot, there will be another plague." ”
Pestilence?!
Hearing the word 'plague', the few people who were still insisting on blocking the corpse just now hurriedly ran to the side with shocked faces.
Kongsu shook his head helplessly, and called to Sheng He, "Sheng He..."
Sheng He nodded knowingly, and the spiritual power condensed from the palms of his hands also turned into flames in an instant.
Overlapping corpses lay on wooden shelves, and the raging fire gradually obscured the blinding blood. Billowing black smoke shot into the sky, and a pungent scorching smell also hit the wind.
suffered this tragic catastrophe, and the once prosperous and lively Baiyun Town no longer existed.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man sat on the ground with the soles of his feet rootless, and several people who were just sobbing also howled because they were too sad.
Qingfeng sighed regretfully, and then turned sideways to the disciples beside him and ordered, "Yun Chao, you go and take a few disciples to settle them in a safe place first." ”
"Yes, master!"
(b)
Yun Chao and his group had just left, and the tea boss who was knocked unconscious by Bai Hua yesterday also walked out of the corner of the street with the back of his head.
The crackling sound of the fire echoed throughout the street, and the smell was very choking.
At this time, there were two passers-by, one green and one white, standing together facing the wooden frame with a raging fire burning in the middle of the street. Seeing this, the tea boss looked horrified, so he hurriedly hid back around the corner and secretly looked up.
But before he could see what was burning on the wooden frame, he was hit by a white shadow against the corner of the wall.
Sheng He's eyes shone slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you and why are you hiding here?"
His neck tightened suddenly, and it became extremely difficult to breathe. The tea boss blushed and said, "I... I... I'm in town... Tea stalls..."
In a panic, he hurriedly folded his hands again, his eyes full of pleading, "Rao... Spare your life..."
When Sheng He heard this, he slowly withdrew his hand. As soon as the breath was smooth, the tea boss also hurriedly took a few breaths of fresh air.
"Sheng He, what's wrong?"
At this time, the empty beard and the breeze also walked over quickly.
Sheng He glanced at the tea boss who was panting against the wall, and then arched his hand towards Kongsu and said, "Master Kongsu, I found out that this person was sneakily hiding here just now, so I came over to take a look." ”
When the tea boss heard this, he straightened up, waved his hand and explained: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding... I'm an honest guy who runs a tea stall in this town. Just now, I was really afraid that you were the ones from yesterday..."
The latter words were swallowed directly into his stomach after the tea boss saw the white-clothed robe that Sheng He was wearing.
The tea boss rolled his eyes, and then moved his small steps towards Qingfeng slightly closer, before continuing to Nuo Nuo: "Yesterday the town experienced such a bloody thing, I must be careful in order to save my life, and... And..."
The tea boss didn't speak again after a long time. Instead, it was the expression on his face that made Sokusu see the clues.
But before he could speak, Qingfeng on the side grabbed Bai and explained: "Those people yesterday were not disciples of Jie Nian Mountain, so you don't need to be afraid now." ”
Hearing what Qingfeng said, the tea boss's eyes lit up, and he was surprised: "Oh, you are exactly the same as what the girl said yesterday?!"
Sora was puzzled, "How did that girl know?"
The tea boss picked his forehead, closed his eyes and recalled for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, he seemed to suddenly realize something, "Oh, I thought it was strange at the time, why did that girl sit in my tea stall for so long." It turned out that she was secretly observing the group of people!!"
Girl, no, the master said that Bai Hua had been following them, how could she be a girl?
Thinking of this, Sora was even more confused, so he hurriedly confirmed to the tea boss, "Are you sure it's a girl?"
The tea boss's face stiffened, and he lost his voice in an instant, "I admit that I was scared, but I haven't been scared stupid, so I can't even tell the difference between men and women, right?"
"Presumptuous! Don't be unreasonable to Sosu Daoren. Sheng He on the side said, clenched his fists again, and wanted to step forward.
Sheng He's scolding really scared the tea boss's face to turn color.
"Shenghe, don't be unreasonable. Sobasu raised his hand to stop him and hurriedly stopped Sheng He.
After thinking for a while, Kongsu continued to ask the tea boss, "Besides that girl, can you see a good-looking man with her?"
Secretly glancing at Sheng He, who had a fierce look in his eyes, the tea boss hurriedly lowered his head, and replied softly with great caution: "No, no, only that girl is in my tea stall." ”
The conversation between the two made Qingfeng inevitably a little curious, "Kusu Daoren, are you looking for other disciples?"
Kongsu nodded, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and responded: "He is half my apprentice, and he was the first to discover the evil spirit and ordered someone to send a letter to Jie Nian Mountain. ”
"I see," the breeze suddenly came.
After a moment of silence and retracting his gaze, Kongsu said calmly: "Let's go, the most important thing for us at the moment is to find those evil spirits." ”
Qingfeng echoed his head, and shouted to the disciples not far away: "All the disciples listen to the order, take Baiyun Town as the center, and search one by one within a radius of fifty miles. ”
"Disciple commands!"

The warm golden sun sprinkled the woods and shrouded the thatched huts.
The gentle chirping of the birds in the forest woke up Bai Hua in his dream.
A few rays of warm sunlight peeked through the holes in the roof, making the thatched house look particularly bright.
Slowly sitting up, Bai Hua couldn't help but cough lightly twice. However, it was such a slight movement that made her whole body tremble violently.
The blood and qi in the heart and mouth surged, and the pain in the heart also spread to the limbs and bones. Bai Hua clutched his chest and snorted in pain, and coughed up another mouthful of blood.
She closed her eyes and breathed again, and sat for a long time, until she heard the sound of rustling outside the house.
With his sword in hand, he staggered to the door. After seeing the face of the man in Tsing Yi outside the door, Bai Hua couldn't help but smile slightly, and called softly: "Zehuang~"
This soft shout seemed to exhaust all Bai Hua's strength, and he was dizzy, the soles of his feet were soft, and his body fell backwards.
Ze Huang's heart palpitated, and he hurriedly stepped forward to grab her. However, pulling back so hard happened to take advantage of the situation to hug the person into his arms.
"Xiaobai~Xiaobai~ Where are you?"
At this time, the loud call of September was suddenly heard in the distance.
Coincidentally, at this time, the picture of Ze Huang holding Bai Hua into his arms just happened to be seen by September who trotted to look for someone.
"Little..."
The call came to an abrupt end, and September froze in place.
Hearing the call, Bai Hua struggled to open her eyes, and in her hazy vision, she vaguely saw September standing not far away.
Ze Huang couldn't help frowning, but he still hugged Bai Hua tightly and looked sideways at September.
Looking at each other, September's eyes gradually soaked with tears. Right now, what kept echoing in his ears was all the words that Ze Huang had said to himself.
'I just liked it, I never wanted to force it, and now that I've let it go...'
'That love is a thing of the past, why don't you still believe it?'
"September~"
Bai Hua's call instantly pulled back September's divine sense. However, September, who had a sad face, bit his lip tightly and chose to take a few steps back silently.
After a while, she moved the corners of her mouth and said two words silently towards Ze Huang.
"Liar..."
Without looking back, he ran into the woods.
