Chapter 27: A Call for Help
When Chu Muxi and the others returned to the inn, the other disciples also returned.
"We went out through the city gate, and found that we really couldn't leave the city three miles away, as long as we went more than three miles, no matter how we went, we would return to the same place again." Lin Yao and Ji Zi'an were in a group, and the two of them went to check the surrounding situation, and after they came back, they also directly told Xu Yu about the strangeness they found.
Xu Yu sat in the middle of the room, Lin Yao and Ji Zi'an were on his left hand side, and Xiao Xiao and Chu Muxi were on his right hand side. When Chu Muxi and Xiao Xiao came to report, Lin Yao saw the two of them nodding at the two of them. Chu Muxi took Xiao Xiao Xiao to fall, Xu Yu glanced at the two of them, and asked the other disciples, "Is there anything else to gain?" ”
A little disciple whispered, "The disciple has found out that the city is preparing for the wedding of the Celestial Maiden...... It's so weird in the city that the townsfolk can't talk to each other, and they're very wary. ”
Another disciple spoke: "But we found out that the houses of the residents of this city worship the statues of the six-handed celestial maiden, and I think that the strange things in the city must be related to the celestial maiden." ”
Xu Yu nodded, these disciples are not Chu Muxi who is good at demagoguery, the residents in this city are already so weird, and it is normal that they can't detect things.
Xu Yu looked at Chu Muxi and the two again, and asked, "What did you two inquire about?" ”
Chu Muxi calmly took the tea handed over by Lin Yao, took a sip, and then said slowly: "I didn't find anything, but I ate a bowl of wontons on the side of the road, and I just happened to meet the bride who is going to get married tomorrow." ”
After Chu Muxi said this, the audience was silent. After all, this is ancient times, but if it is replaced by modern times, it is difficult for someone not to scold Versailles. Others have been inquiring for a long time, and they have only found out so much, but what about Chu Muxi? Eat a wonton and meet the main owner.
This luck is really God's favorite.
"The bride who was chosen this year is a girl who sells wontons in the east of the city." Chu Muxi explained, "Xiaoxiao and I ate a bowl of wontons at her stall, and she pasted a note on me at the bottom of the bowl, asking me to go to her house to meet her today. ”
Ji Zi'an frowned: "How could this woman invite you, it was only the second day that we entered the city, how could she, a city person, ask you for help." ”
Chu Muxi spread his hands: "I don't know, but I think this Afang girl should know that I am a monk." Moreover, this Ah Fang should know something. So I'm going to go and see it in the evening and learn something from that Ah Fang girl's mouth. ”
Xu Yu nodded, he knew Chu Muxi well, and the other party was not an unreliable person, but he still said, "I'll go with you at night." ”
Chu Muxi didn't object, it would be much safer to take Xu Yu with him, after all, he couldn't expose his true strength at will now, how weird things were at night in this city, it was better for Xiao Xiao to follow him or someone to protect him.
After the sun set, the three of them went to the address left by Ah Fang to Chu Muxi together.
Chu Muxi stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the door, there was a sound of footsteps in the door, and then the door opened after a while, Ah Fang poked his head out, carefully looked at it to make sure it was Chu Muxi, and immediately brought the three people in.
Ah Fang's cautious movements let Chu Muxi know that Ah Fang was definitely different from the people in the city.
When he arrived in the courtyard, Ah Fang immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the three people: "Ask the three immortals to help the little girl." ”
Chu Muxi looked at Ah Fang very calmly, Xu Yu didn't move, only Xiao Xiao pulled the person up from the ground first and said that the girl was polite.
Chu Muxi asked Ah Fang: "Why does the girl know that the three of us are immortals?" ”
Ah Fang pursed her lips and stared at Chu Muxi's face for a while, before she said cautiously, "I...... When I was a child, my father and I didn't live in Lishui City, but in Nanyan...... So I've seen the side of the fairy Xiyan. When I saw you during the day, I thought you were the fairy of the sunset, so I ......"
It turned out to be because of this face, and after all, my face is very similar to my sister's love, and it's normal to admit that it's wrong.
"I'm not a fairy of Xiyan, but I am indeed a person who cultivates immortals." Chu Muxi gently explained, "I am a disciple of the Liuyun Sect, and I came to Lishui City to investigate the matter of Lishui City. If the girl is willing to tell us about the city, we will help her. ”
Ah Fang nodded and said to Chu Muxi, "Then, the three of you, please come with me." ”
Ah Fang took the three of them into the house together, and then removed the bed board, revealing a tunnel, and the three of them climbed down the tunnel with Ah Fang, only to find that there was a room hidden underground. Candles were lit in the room, and a bed was placed in the middle, on which lay a man. All of a sudden, Chu Muxi and the three of them couldn't help frowning, because there was a strong smell of blood and rot in the room.
"Ah Fang...... Who did you bring with you? The man's very weak voice came from the bed, followed by a cough.
Ah Fang hurriedly walked over and arrived: "Brother Da Niu, I brought a helper over." ”
Ah Fang said and opened the bed curtain, and Chu Muxi saw the man lying on the bed. It should have been a handsome young man, but at the moment, his cheeks were thin, and his cheekbones were too prominent to look scary. His face was also too pale, revealing a kind of dead air. His arm was placed outside, and the rotting scars and black blood on the man's arm could be clearly seen.
Ah Fang looked at the man, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and then looked at Chu Muxi: "Fairy, please." ”
Chu Muxi was about to step forward, but Xu Yu stretched out his hand to stop her: "You are not a medical cultivator, I will check the wound." ”
Chu Muxi snorted, she is indeed not a medical cultivator, she is a formation cultivator and a minor in swordsmanship, but Xu Yu is actually a formation cultivator and a minor in medical skills, she still thinks that this guy should also cultivate swordsmanship. Could it be because of Bai Ling?
Xu Yu's face is a little fierce, and his unsmiling appearance is a little scary, usually it's okay if he follows Bai Ling, but when he is alone, it scares other girls a little. Ah Fang hesitated and didn't dare to get out of the way, although she was a little afraid of Xu Yu's fierce appearance, but Ah Fang still stayed in front of the man and refused to let go.
In the end, the man was a little helpless, and reluctantly raised his right hand, which was fine, and rubbed Ah Fang's head and said, "Ah Fang, this is the immortal master of the Liuyun Sect, not a bad person. ”
Ah Fang heard the man's words, so he obediently got up and stood aside.
Xu Yu sat down calmly, then examined the man's wounds, and finally took out a knife to cut off a piece of carrion, looked at it and threw it on the ground in disgust.
"Corpse poison." Xu Yu made a judgment, then took the medicine bottle thrown by Chu Muxi, opened it, and fed the medicine to the man.
"Tell me who you are, and what happened to this wound and this corpse poison."
