The lonely geese in the deserted city do not know the cold in the twilight.

The air was filled with the smell of corrosion, like the dying of a dying man, with a desperate sorrow.

In the village in front of me, except for the occasional crow flying by, there was no sign of any creature.

Bai Yunshen handed Yu Tianqing a pill, "Miss Yu, this is the Qingling Pill, take it." ”

The fragrance of the medicine was fragrant, and Yu Tianqing believed in taking it according to his words. When the pill is entered, it turns into nectar in an instant, and it penetrates the heart and spleen.

"Qingling Pill has the effect of preventing poison and detoxifying, and the virus is overflowing here, so we take it in advance, just in case."

Yu Tianqing bowed his head, "It's still thoughtful." ”

Bai Yunshen smiled and said, "The Dao Master entrusted you to me, I don't dare to be inconsiderate." ”

Yu Tianqing quipped, "In this way, I will definitely thank the head of the family when I go back." ”

Bai Yunshen's eyes were gloomy, "Naturally, I want to thank you, if it weren't for his entrustment, how could I have the opportunity to take care of the beauty." ”

Although the tone is slightly frivolous, the blazing eyes are undisguised.

Yu Tianqing has always been dedicated to the Tao, and in the face of such emotional ambiguity, she is simply unable to cope with it. had to hurriedly divert the topic, "It's not too early, let's go and investigate the matter of the golden scales first." ”

The two of them were proud to talk about the python, so they linked it with the matter of the golden-scaled beetle, and this time they were in a difficult situation, in addition to investigating the source of the epidemic, they also wanted to investigate whether it was related to the golden-scaled beetle.

With a clear goal, the two went straight to Xifengdu.

The scorching sun does not illuminate the dark lake. Facing the long wind, I can't blow the mist in front of me.

The west wind crossing, it is clearly another black water pool.

Yu Tianqing and Bai Yun looked at each other, if they didn't know that the golden scale beetle snake was still sealed, they would almost think that the golden scale beetle snake had already appeared.

Near the water's edge, there is no vegetation at all, and the river water has long been black and unbreakable.

"Be careful, don't get too close." Bai Yunshen grabbed Yu Tianqing's arm and brought her to his side, for fear that there would be sudden danger.

"Look, there's a fire over there." Yu Tianqing saw the flames dancing not far away, and suddenly said.

The two of them immediately walked towards the place where the fire was lit.

The smog was thick, and the eyes were full of hazy colors. It wasn't until they were fifty meters away that they realized that there were many people surrounding the Land of Firelight, and in the middle of the crowd was a huge fire.

There is no vegetation here, and there is no trace of people, so I didn't expect such a scene to happen.

Yu Tianqing involuntarily walked forward. About thirty meters closer, her calm face was suddenly shocked.

She looked at the place where the fire was, and her eyes were full of surprise.

Even Bai Yunshen, who has always been calm, is still staring.

In the midst of the huge flames, there were mountains of corpses. Layer upon layer, I don't know how many of them. The flames were so bright that there was a huge incineration site in front of them.

The corpse was probably surrounded by his family members, who gathered around the fire and prayed goodbye. Their faces were expressionless, their skin was pale and puffy, and their eyes were as dead as corpses lying in the fire. A group of walking corpses burned the lying corpses as if the next fire was about to burn themselves.

The eerie atmosphere is creepy.

Yu Tianqing felt uneasy in her heart. However, it was too late.

I don't know who saw them first, and then several pairs of eyes came, ten pairs, hundreds of pairs of ......, reflecting their figures, there was not a trace of surprise, but they all walked towards them.

"Let's go!" Bai Yunshen said in a low voice.

The two of them turned around and didn't take a few steps, only to see a large number of people coming from nowhere. They formed a circle and gradually surrounded the two of them.

Yu Tianqing and Bai Yunshen didn't dare to delay, and ran away, wanting to get out quickly before being completely surrounded. However, when they moved, the group moved as well. The original stumbling steps, when facing the two of them, were unexpectedly neat, especially the madness in the eyes, which was downright cold.

The two of them flashed left and right, and somehow, they were forced into the corner.

With the mountain boulder at its back, there is no way back.

I only heard Bai Yunshen shouting, "Dragon Yin!" ”

Suddenly, the long sword flew up, the sword aura was horizontal, and the power of the sword wiped out all the people in front of him.

"Don't hurt them." Yu Tianqing shouted.

The villagers were afraid of the sword's might and stopped one after another. However, more and more people are gathering. Their expressions were hideous, their eyes were scarlet, and they surrounded Yu Tianqing and Bai Yunshen.

Yu Tianqing thought of the scene of the fire just now, in their eyes, I am afraid that she and Bai Yunshen are like corpses on the fire.

"Folks......" Yu Tianqing tried to communicate with them, "we are here to help you." ”

The crowd seemed to turn a deaf ear.

Yu Tianqing continued, "Please believe us, we are here to investigate the root cause of the epidemic, and if we can find the root cause, we may be able to find a cure. ”

It was still silent, and there were hundreds of people present, but no one paid attention to them. Even the air was filled with silence, and the silent depression almost made Yu Tianqing breathless.

"You're the one hundred and eighty ......," an old voice suddenly popped out.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man came out, wearing a cloak with a face like a skeleton and two sunken eyes, like ghost fire in the netherworld, flickering non-stop.

"What?" Yu Tianqing was puzzled.

The middle-aged man continued in a voice that did not match his age, "The one hundred and eighty people who say this......"

Bai Yun said coldly, "What about the one hundred and seventy-nine before?" ”

The middle-aged man used his calm gaze to sweep over the unwavering crowd present, and smiled, his laughter was full of Sen Sen's weirdness, "It seems that they have all gone to sacrifice to the God of Fire." ”

Yu Tianqing's heart froze, and she involuntarily took two steps back.

A pair of warm hands held her slightly cold palm, and Bai Yunshen said softly, "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”

Bai Yunshen said loudly, "Don't you want to be cured? ”

The middle-aged man laughed in a muffled voice, and the laughter was stuck in his throat, as if it had a thousand gold.

"This is also the one hundred and eightieth time I've heard this sentence......" The middle-aged man said with his cloudy eyes that were bumpy outward, "Do you know what it's like to listen to it every time?" ”

Yu Tianqing and Bai Yunshen were silent.

The middle-aged man obviously didn't intend to listen to their answers, and he said quietly, "Why do we have to wait to be cured, and you can say such things so confidently? ”

“…… What? ”

"Isn't it a privilege to not be infected?" His eyes suddenly became excited, "We are obviously the same, you are also human, I am also human, why should we divide the infected and the uninfected?" ”

Seeing that his mind was confused, Bai Yunshen couldn't help but raise his voice, "You sober up." ”

"Hahaha......" The man seemed to have heard some great joke, and laughed even more fiercely.

A violent cough followed, but he didn't seem to care, and the more he coughed, the more intense he laughed. The voice sank deep in his throat and rumbled, as if it had been dragged out of hell.
