Flowing Fire July.

In the morning, before the sun had risen, the earth was on fire, so hot that people could see everything. However, after stepping into the territory of Shigui Mountain, the temperature dropped suddenly, and the cool mountain breeze gently blew through the clothes, and the mist was slow, like a light veil around the mountain forest.

It is rare for the mountain wind to be so harmonious, Li Yunuan couldn't help but sigh: "It's so comfortable." ”

Unexpectedly, Murong Shuang, who was walking side by side with her, frowned when she heard this, as if she had seen something disgusting, and looked at her silently for a moment, and then slowly squeezed out a "hum" from her nose, and quickly staggered, parallel to the two senior sisters in front of her, with a gesture of disdain for being with her.

Think I'm embarrassed again?

Li Yunuan was embarrassed, she knew that in such a hot summer, the territory of Shigui Mountain was cold, and there must be something strange in it. But it is really comfortable to suddenly walk from the hot sun to the coolness, why does Murong Shuang always look down on herself like this?

Sure enough, she really hates herself!

When he was depressed, the guide's honest explanation sounded beside him: "The immortal chief and the immortal aunts don't know that this Shigui Mountain was originally a small volcano, and according to the records of the elders, the most recent eruption was an old thing a hundred years ago. The mountain mirror has always been extremely hot, and there is a sulfur valley in the center, which is hot all day long, and no grass grows. Don't say it's such a summer day, even in winter, it's so hot that you will sweat when you wear single clothes. ”

According to his explanation, Li Yunuan lowered his head, and sure enough, he found that the soil of Shigui Mountain was unusual. If it is a dense mountain forest in the past, there will inevitably be a lot of rotten mud and rotten leaves on the ground, and the soil will be sticky and black. However, the soil of Shigui Mountain is relatively scarce, most of the stones are bare on the surface, and most of them are gray-black, and there are some dark red stones like slag ash, and all the stones have countless honeycombs on the surface. She grabbed a piece and held it in her hand, so light that it seemed hollow.

"It's a volcanic rock, it doesn't sink into the water. ”

The little fairy who found the pale blue clothes was very interested in the honeycomb stones on the ground, and the guide hurriedly added, and continued to explain to the beautiful fairy girl in the lead: "The surface of Shigui Mountain is not without soil, but according to ancient legends, volcanic marl is the most nourishing crops, so the nearby villages are used to putting the soil in the mountains ...... This time there are monsters in Sulphur Valley, and there are frequent strange things in the village, maybe it is the retribution of the mountain lord for us who are not grateful. Speaking and speaking, the voice was as thin as a gnat, but before the people of the Ten Thousand Sects entered the mountain gate, most of them were rich and noble, and after entering the mountain gate, they practiced and meditated every day, and they didn't understand why the villagers pulled away the soil in the mountains.

Fortunately, the guide was also a knowledgeable person, and knew that the immortals did not understand the matter of crops, so he immediately added with a little emotion: "About two years ago, the flame of the Sulphur Valley, which had never stopped burning in the mouths of our ancestors, suddenly went out. Then Shigui Mountain gradually became colder, and trees grew on the mountain again. ”

"We have lived in Shiguishan for hundreds of years, and we have long been accustomed to the warmth and cannot stand the cold. After Shiguishan became cold, I wanted to go into the mountains to get some firewood for the winter, but who would have thought that several daughters-in-law and men would go into the mountains to collect firewood...... But only one man fled back with his face covered in blood...... He said...... Toxic gas in Sulphur Valley...... And also...... After that, we did not dare to go into the mountains again, and in the first half of the Chinese New Year, there was a snowfall, and when we woke up in the morning, we found that all the domestic animals were dead, and blood was flowing all over the shack. We thought it was a wolf in the mountains hungry. Because they were poor and had no money to move, they counted the numbers and found that only a few domestic animals had been taken away, so they were secretly glad that they had skinned and entrailed the dead pigs and dogs and pickled them for keeping. Where do we know the Tao, these are just the beginning...... After the Chinese New Year, strange diseases began to be epidemic in the village...... My face...... It's also ......."

The old man silently tore off the blue cloth covering his face, revealing half of his face as pitted as the surface of a toad, and in the sun, the scars had suppurated, and bright yellow mucus flowed out, and the wind blew, and the stench came to his face.

“...... Good...... Evil ......"

Luo Wanchuan couldn't bear it anymore and almost vomited.

Su Hongye is a Jin Dan cultivator in the end, although the old man's face is disgusting, it will not move her.

While motioning to Murong Shuang to take care of the youngest Luo Wanchuan, he said to the old man, "You can describe the strange illness specifically." Who gets the disease first, and what are the symptoms at first?"

The guide hooked his waist and shook his head.

“...... I watched my grandson, daughter-in-law, and son get sick one by one, and I myself contracted this strange thing, and sadly, I didn't know what was going on with the strange disease. All I know is that the first people in every household in Ludao Village to get sick are young people and children, and at first I only felt uncomfortable in my eyes, as if something could not be rubbed in my eyes...... Then he started to have a fever, was bedridden, and had pustules all over his body...... After surviving for half a month, the body will gradually recover, but the scars that grow out can't fade......"

"That's all?"

Su Hongye was a little surprised, smallpox and the like can also leave scars on the body after healing. Judging from the current narrative, the strange disease in the village is just an infectious disease more serious than smallpox, and it is not a strange disease.

The old man smiled bitterly and knocked on the dry tobacco pouch: "What if...... That's it...... How can we beg the immortal elders to come and subdue the demons...... But then ...... Later......"

With teeth fighting and deep fear, Li Yunuan remembered the lifeless scene she saw when she was invited to the village, where all the doors were closed, and behind the cracks in the doors were a pair of eyes full of uneasiness and fear. The only one who walked out of the house to receive them was the old man in front of him, that is, the village chief.

"What happened later!" asked Qian Anan of the Zizhu Hall impatiently.

The old man looked around with palpitations, and said in a low voice: "The scars will continue to suppurate, and new scars will grow wherever they drip on. You can't cut it off, and you can't dig it up. Once they are covered in scars, they will turn into monsters and flee to the mountains! What is even more terrifying is that they will ...... When I came back, I knocked on the door one by one in the middle of the night, saying that I had a good life in the mountains, and I wanted to ...... my wife and children Take...... As soon as you open the door, you will ...... will ......"

"Are you sure it's really a person knocking on the door? Or maybe it's a mountain spirit or a ghost? Those who are covered with sores may have fled to the mountains to fend for themselves, thinking that they couldn't see people. ”

Murong Shuang said self-righteously, and the old man shook his head with a wry smile: "I only have sores on half of my face, but I can also feel that my body has become different." For example, a person of my age led the way for a few immortal Gu Immortal Elders to walk the mountain road for two hours, and the sweat did not flow, and the feet did not slip, don't the immortal elders think it is strange?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the old man again.

Half of his face is full of scars, swollen and invisible, but the other half of his face is rough and gray like old bark, and brown old age spots crawl all over his face.

Seeing the surprise of the immortals, the guide continued to tell helplessly: "...... People with scars will gradually become more powerful, and at the beginning we were very happy, thinking that our faces have become ugly, but our strength has increased, and we can make more money by going to work in the city after the beginning of spring. But as soon as the scar crosses the line, the person loses his mind...... The eyes will turn red and will ...... Like a beast...... Throat thirsty and want to drink blood...... It's itchy all over my body, and I want to scratch my body away...... Two young men in the village died like this...... They couldn't stand it anymore, so they kept scratching and scratching, grabbing their stomachs open, grabbing their intestines and running all over the village......"

“...... Evil ......"

A retching, this time it was Xie Cixin who couldn't help it, Qian Anan saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort and feed the water. Li Yunuan was actually frightened by the old man's description, but seeing that Su Hongye's face was cold and expressionless, Murong Shuang sneered again, so he could only grit his teeth and endure the discomfort.

......

......

It has been almost a year since he invested in Yan Luofeng to become a disciple of Fengluo Immortal.

Every month, Li Yunuan can receive a second-grade spirit stone, two hundred first-grade spirit stones, and a number of Guyuan pills. However, the physique that has been tempered by the Xingchen Peerless Technique cannot take pills, live on Yanluo Peak, and cannot be tempered with formation condensation and qi as when he was in Haoyue Ju, plus from time to time "according to the agreement" to feed Yuehua, Li Yunuan's cultivation progress has become slower and slower in this year.

It's just that Yuehua doesn't even have a body, but he is particularly keen on waste and oppression, Li Yunuan's monthly spirit stones were basically consumed by him as soon as they arrived, and the Guyuan Pill was also asked by him to pass, and it turned into a puddle of furnace ash in half an hour at most!

Fortunately, Yuehua was not completely ungrateful, he was nourished by several times the spiritual energy on Yanluo Peak, and naturally he didn't want to lose such a good life, so he taught Li Yunuan to collect spiritual herbs and boil decoctions from time to time, so as to absorb spiritual power to refine his body, so that Li Yunuan did not see an inch of success in the first half of the year, but in the second half of the year, he jumped over the four layers of condensation! The cracks in the world realm in the body that were as thin as a hair were finally widened to the thickness of new twigs, although there was still a long way to go from the little finger width of the ordinary cultivation root bone, it was also a lot of progress.

It's just that this makes Su Hongye more and more disliked.

She obeyed her teacher's orders to teach Li Yunuan, but she was dissatisfied with her qualifications and was criticized for her dull qualifications, and found that although Li Yunuan's progress was slow, she occasionally suddenly had a sudden increase in aura, which gave birth to the illusion that she was good at opportunism. Murong Shuang, who lives with Li Yunuan, is well-behaved and good at behaving in front of the teacher, compared with the two, Su Hongye's dissatisfaction with Li Yunuan is growing, and she is also very impatient and perfunctory when teaching.

The task of the Sulfur Valley this time was assigned to Su Hongye by Fengqi. When selecting personnel, Jiang Luo thought that the younger generation of disciples needed more tempering, so he especially included Luo Wanchuan of Qiandu Peak, Xie Cixin and Qian An'an of Ning Cui Peak, as well as Li Yunuan and Murong Shuang, the only two of Yan Luofeng who had no mission records.

It's just that in this way, Su Hongye, who has taken care of the newcomer in vain, has become more and more stiff with his already cold face.

Along the way, Su Hongye always had a cold face, and Murong Shuang's tone of voice was always with a gun and a stick, and among the five people who accompanied him, except for Luo Wanchuan, there was no second person who was friendly to Li Yunuan.

But these ignorances of theirs, Li Yunuan will not take them to heart, Haoyueju's experience has made her understand a truth, the respect of the cultivation realm is earned by herself, and only if she has enough strength will she get the respect she deserves!

She is just still worried about Xu Yuanyuan. Only half a month after becoming an inner disciple and moving into Yanluo Peak, Xu Yuanyuan, who was possessed by the Blood God Son, took over from Wanshizong with Zhang Hui and returned to Hongchen, and there has been no news since then.

Since then, whenever the senior brothers and sisters of the sect go out to kill demons, Li Yunuan can't help but worry.

This time, it's the same.

If the demons of Sulfur Valley are related to Senior Sister Xu, what should I do!

She was the first person I met who was gentle with me in Hazy Moon Curie......
