The two agreed on the matter, Gao Xiaoxiao asked Uncle He again when he would come back, and the transmission note was snuffed out by Gao Xiaoxiao, and she got up and went to the study room she used to draw the talisman and improve her strength.

After this period of refinement, her strength has changed from a beginner fourth-level talisman at the beginning to a beginner fifth-level talisman now.

You can start trying to learn some offensive talisman drawing.

I opened the talisman booklet and looked at it, and at present, the most suitable for her to learn to draw, there is only one burst talisman.

[Burst Talisman, in the primary state, can produce small explosions within a radius of one mile.] 】

Seeing the effect of the bursting talisman, Gao Xiaoxiao thought that the Sword Sect would definitely send someone to find Zhuang Hui, and it should be of great use to refine some of this bursting talisman for him.

After thinking about it, he directly rolled up his sleeves and picked up the brush, trying to draw the pattern of the bursting talisman.

The offensive talisman was much more difficult than the normal talisman she had drawn before, and she made mistakes one after another just by drawing patterns.

After almost half an hour of busy work, she stopped with a pale face and looked at the shape of the talisman that had finally been completely drawn by her.

Although she didn't succeed in drawing the talisman this time, she finally wrote down how to draw it.

During the drawing, Gao Xiaoxiao used too much mental power, and it had dried up a little, so she put away her pen for the time being, and manipulated the puppet villain that Zhuo Xiu had given her before to find Xiaocai who was guarding the door.

Let her take some elixir that can restore the mental power in the brain and knock it to her, and slow down the painful brain.

When the time came to noon, Gao Xiaoxiao used the monitoring function of the artificial system to hear Zhuang's voice calling her back, so she put down the talisman pen in her hand, rested on the bed without finishing her mind, and transferred her consciousness to the AI.

"Smiling? We've arrived. ”

Gao Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and looked at the place she had arrived, which was somewhat similar in size to the Xinghua Village she had seen before, but judging from the stone paved roads on the ground and the neatly arranged hawker stalls on the streets, this Yunlai Town was indeed a little more advanced than Xinghua Village.

Jumped out of the carriage with Zhuang Hui, and when he finished paying the silver money to the owner of the ox owner, Gao Xiaoxiao asked him, how many patients were suffering from infectious diseases this time, and did he think about how to protect himself in advance?

It was late summer, and before Yunlai Town set off, she had heard Zhuang Hui say that there had only been a flood.

It is estimated that if it is an infectious disease, it is very likely to be an epidemic.

Zhuang Hui carried the bamboo basket with a lot of things behind him, and when he entered the stone gate engraved with the three big characters of "Yunlai Town" with a smile, he replied to her: "At present, the valley has given me a patient book, saying that there are only five, and I am not sure about the specific number." ”

As soon as the young man's voice fell, he heard a noisy suona sound.

Following the sound, a funeral procession carrying a coffin, dressed in linen and wearing filial piety, was crying and walking outside the mountain gate.

Zhuang Hui was forced to take shelter with Gao Xiaoxiao and watched the funeral procession walk away.

"Hey, I don't know how many people died, do evil......"

An old man with a flat shoulder and a crumpled old skin muttered as he passed by Zhuang Hui's side.

Seeing this, Gao Xiaoxiao subconsciously felt that something was wrong, poked Zhuang Hui's arm, and whispered in his ear: "Xiao Aotian, you go over and ask him, what's going on." ”

She always felt that the more she looked at it, the more it looked like an epidemic.

Zhuang Huiyan took out the hat prepared in advance from the back basket and put it on, covering his face.

After all, the people on the Sword Sect's side were still looking for them, and they were completely asking for trouble by showing their faces like this.

"This old man, I have something to ask you, what do you mean by not knowing how many people died?"

When the old man heard this, he paused and turned to look at the person.

The young man was dressed in a smoke-blue shirt and a hat of the same color, although he couldn't see his face clearly, from the cold temperament that lingered around him, he could also know that the identity of the person who came was extraordinary.

"This little boy looks very good, but he came from out of town?"

There are some knick-knacks in the flat pole that the old man carries, and he looks like a hawker who often sells on the street on weekdays.

Gao Xiaoxiao made a guess, and Zhuang Hui also bowed: "That's the case, I heard that Yunlai Town is rich in medicinal herb resources, and as a person who practices medicine, I want to come over and collect some." ”

The hat Zhuang Hui was wearing was smoked by him with special herbs, which could prevent the invasion of poisonous diseases, and had a strong medicinal smell.

After the old man smelled the smell of medicine, he glanced at the bamboo basket that Zhuang Hui was carrying behind his back, and it was indeed an object that only many medical practitioners would bring.

Seeing that the sun was going to be more sunny, let Zhuang Hui follow him down to the shady tree.

After the old man put down the flat burden carrying the small objects, he wiped the sweat with the sweat towel around his neck, took out the kettle and drank a few sips, making a thirst-quenching sound, and then sighed and sat on the stone steps under the giant tree, and looked at the funeral procession that was almost invisible.

"I don't know how many people died, it's because our Yunlai Town angered the mountain god and got the curse of the mountain god, and in less than two months, at least dozens of people died, plus today's one, it is estimated that there are just enough thirty."

"Anger the mountain gods? What do you mean by that? ”

Zhuang Hui put down the bamboo basket on his back, pulled the stone steps that sat under the giant tree with a smile, and didn't quite understand.

"At the beginning of the establishment of Yunlai Town, a Taoist priest came over and said that as long as the people in the town worship the local mountain gods, the prosperity of the town will last for a long time in the future. But two months ago, the town's wealthy merchants used some means to persuade the mayor to demolish the temple dedicated to the mountain god and build a restaurant. ”

The old man said, shaking his head: "Not long after this temple was demolished, God began to get angry, and it rained for half a month, almost flooding our entire Yunlai town. Finally, when the flood stopped, the town began to die one after another. ”

Speaking of this, the old man got up and put away the kettle, and went to pick up the flat burden again: "So little boy, if you want to come over to pick herbs, you should go back quickly, so as not to be implicated and lose your life." ”

Zhuang Hui looked at the old man who had already walked away, and there was no fear on his face.

In his previous life, he actually knew a rough idea of this matter and knew the reason.

The reason why I came to ask the old man according to Gao Xiaoxiao's request was just to show her a show.

When he was far away, he put the basket on his back again, and called out to the girl who was still twisting her eyebrows and didn't know what to think: "Xiaoxiao, why are you still stupid?" Let's go. ”

Gao Xiaoxiao's ears echoed what the old man said, floods, dead people.

The more I listened, the more I felt that this was a precursor to the spread of the plague.

After chasing after him, he talked back to Zhuang about her guess.

"If it's really a plague, this division mission, you alone will definitely not be enough. Xiao Aotian, otherwise you should take a look, do you want to find Zhongqing to come over and help? ”
