Chapter 189: Drilling into the Ground

It's a bit ugly, but it's true.

The elder's face changed a few times, and he finally digested this outrageous sentence, and snorted coldly.

"Do you think we haven't thought about it?"

Shangguan Li: "Can't move?" ”

"At first, we thought that the dead villagers would be buried and that the matter would be over. But then I found out that this was not the case. ”

The elder couldn't straighten his waist, slumped slightly, and curled up into a sitting shrimp, he said bitterly.

"This disease has appeared in the younger generations of the villagers. The symptoms were exactly the same as those who died at the beginning, muddy, frenzied, and then died. ”

"We also thought about moving away from this place, but no matter how far away we were, the disease was like a curse. The people in our village have never left their homes for the rest of their lives, and they can't survive even more when they go out. ”

Shangguan Li let out an "um".

"So you're back again."

"yes."

The elder sighed.

"Generations of withering, just when we were about to be completely unable to hold on, things finally took a turn, that is, with Youhua."

Tranquility.

The medicinal properties of this flower are indeed very suitable for the treatment of madness.

"So after that, you used this flower to save the lives of the villagers, but this poison has not been solved for many years, but has been passed down from generation to generation?"

Situ asked, blinking wide-eyed.

"But in that case, this poison shouldn't be incurable to you, right?"

"Probably because it's about to stop working."

Shangguan Li answered casually.

People will evolve drug resistance, and even if it is a strong medicinal thing like the companion flower, it can't withstand the eight or nine generations of people in a village for so many years.

It's better to say that it is a miracle that the companion flower can last so long.

A glimmer of light appeared in the elder's eyes as he looked at Shangguan Li.

"The girl has a better eye than any other doctor who has come to the village. That's right, since my grandfather's generation, the effect of accompanying Youhua has begun to fade, and now it is even more ...... Can the girl really remove this curse that has lasted for 800 years for us? ”

"I can't."

Shangguan Li said simply.

Elder: "......"

"But the girl just said she could help us detoxify!"

Shangguan Li stood up, looked at the elder condescendingly, and said with a smile.

"Poison can be cured, but I can't solve this curse."

"What's ...... this?"

Before the elder could say "what's the difference?" he was interrupted by a loud voice outside.

"Village Chief, Village Chief! Look at my little mud! ”

As he spoke, the door panel, which was not thick, was knocked open, and the cold wind poured in, puffing up Shangguan Li's skirt.

The elder didn't care about what Shangguan Li's words meant, so he immediately turned around and touched the wall behind him. With a rumbling sound, a hole suddenly appeared in the middle of the house, which had nothing at all.

"Come with me!"

The elder was the first to step up the stairs that winded down the cave, followed closely by a man of about seven or eight years old.

The two of them didn't pay attention to Shangguan Li and Xitu who were standing next to them from beginning to end.

"Hey, it's cold."

Situ happened to be right next to the basement, and the icy air at the entrance of the cave was colder than the cold wind outside.

"What's, what is this?"

Shangguan Li shook his head.

"How do I know, and there is no perspective. I want to know if I'm going to go down and see for myself. ”

Xitu originally thought that the meaning of this sentence was to follow up and have a look, but she went down the stairs on both legs, only to find that Shangguan Li was standing in place, with no intention of going down.

Seeing her stop, Shangguan Li pointed in the direction of the door with his thumb.

"Someone."

Situ then crawled out and peeked out through the crack in the door, which startled him.

There were a lot of people standing outside the door, most of them carrying "guys" in their hands, either a half-torn turnip, a scimitar for mowing grass, or a wooden bucket for water......

There were men and women, and it seemed that after hearing the news, everyone immediately put down what they were doing and rushed over.

"The people in this village are really nice."

Xitu muttered, turned around and asked Shangguan Li.

"Sister, what should we do now?"

When she turned her head, she found that half of Shangguan Li's body was already in the hole, and the rising wind ruffled her hair, making those pale eyes loom and have an indescribable coldness.

Situ was stunned for a moment.

"If you are in a daze, I will leave you in this village."

"Huh? Here it comes! ”

Frightened by this sentence, she didn't notice the deep meaning of Shangguan Li's words.

The two of them descended the dirt staircase, the hole was deeper than expected, and it was getting colder and colder, and there were several faintly fluorescent pieces of ore on the walls.

This will not make both of them blind.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two finally landed on the ground.

"Where is this?"

Shangguan Li was about to speak, when her eyes suddenly froze, but she couldn't help but move.

A withered hand reached out from the darkness, accompanied by a slight cough.

"Ahem, this is Ice Valley."

"Mom!"

Xitu didn't have Shangguan Li's five senses as keenly, and he was taken aback and almost jumped directly on Guan Li.

However, she immediately heard the voice of the comer, and she didn't have a good breath.

"Elder! Did you know that this scares people to death? ”

His eyes gradually adjusted to the light at the bottom of the cave, and Shangguan Li smiled bitterly when he saw the elder standing behind them.

"Little Mud's situation is a bit dangerous, I didn't have time to take care of the two, come with me."

The two men followed him forward, and after turning a deep bend, a fire appeared in front of them.

"The Ice Valley is a place we stumbled upon by accident, and the cold here has a restraining effect on our strange diseases. Because of the illness, the people in our village are not very afraid of the cold, can the two of us still stand it? ”

The elder spoke as he walked, his tone sounding very concerned.

Shangguan Li exhaled a white breath, her lips were a little pale, but she shook her head.

"It's fine."

Situ, who felt that he had something to do, heard this, so he had to swallow the words back silently. The fairy sister can stand it, and so can she!

The road was not long, and the three of them soon came out of a slightly cramped path and came to an open area.

As soon as he stepped in, he was as knowledgeable as Shangguan Li, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

It is a circular open space of about 20 square meters, surrounded by a circle of clear groundwater, and purple flowers grow at the water's edge, elegant and beautiful, with a faint fragrance.

The light leaked from the top, and a beautiful particle-like halo flew in the air, and the halo wrapped around a blue-blue stone platform in the center, next to which a man knelt.

There is a sense of sacredness to worship the gods.
