Volume 1 The Shadow of Xianyue Chapter 10 Night Shadow
Coming to Wenqian Hall in Baihua City again, Qian is useless and Xiaosi is making kettles, and he has no time to take care of Li Yiyang, it seems that he must have bought a kettle well and made a lot of money, so Li Yiyang took care of his own prescription.
In this way, Li Yiyang sent medicine back and forth to the villagers this day, he flew around in the air, and did not meet with the villagers, only put the pharmacy at the door of the village chief, the old village chief is a reasonable person, Shanxian Village is also united, the medicine is evenly distributed, and it is a coincidence that the medicine begins to work wonders gradually.
The villagers couldn't see Li Yiyang's appearance clearly, only to see him flying in mid-air to deliver medicine, except for the old village chief and Lao Chen, no one remembered that the boy at noon was the divine bird in the sky.
"It must be that there is a spirit in the mountain fairy village, and the great god of the Jumang fairy bird is incarnated to shelter us, send us medicine, and drive away the plague. ”
"That's right, the Jumang Divine Bird has incarnated as a spirit and saved our Mountain Immortal Village!"
After the villagers got the medicine, they finally realized that Li Yiyang was soaring in the air, and knelt down to thank him.
Until the evening, Li Yiyang, who was delivering medicine back and forth, felt tired, and after a day of traveling, half of the villagers got the medicine, and he felt that the task was completed.
He didn't want to be recognized, so he took advantage of the darkness of the night and quietly landed on the roof.
At this time, the village chief was holding a general meeting to thank the great god of fairy birds and prepare to worship the god in the sacrificial square of Shanxian Village.
The villagers who are not infected with the disease all come to participate, the crowd is crowded, besiege the city in a circle, pray together, the old village chief and Lao Chen took a few chickens to worship, in the center of the field, there is a big tripod, the tripod is full of incense, the old village chief wears a yellow crown, wears a robe, and chatters beside the fire in front of the tripod.
As for what to say, Li Yiyang, who was on the roof, couldn't hear it, the light of the red fire was shining, and it was extremely bright at night, he could see the faces of the villagers clearly, but when he swept away everyone, he couldn't see the Liu family.
He was puzzled in his heart, at least one person from each household who was not infected, but the Liu family did not come to participate in such a big event, he looked at it again, because there were many people, it was normal to not see it for a while, and seeing that the villagers were working together so much, they recognized themselves as the embodiment of the divine bird Jumang, which was a little helpless and interesting.
Sitting on the roof, I couldn't imagine that the old village chief knew some gossip of the five elements, and he did it well, and the word that appeared most in his mouth was gratitude.
Li Yiyang's heart suddenly brightened, he has been burdened with illness for a year, and has experienced the end of life and death again and again, although he has continued to practice and take medicine, but the reality has made him lose the meaning of life.
The illness hurt himself, and even hurt others, and affected his master, sister, and sister, which really made him lose his fighting spirit and be depressed and depressed all day long.
It wasn't until he was turned into a fairy bird that he had some understanding, and now seeing this scene, he felt that he was needed, not for himself, but also for others, to do something meaningful.
The villagers gradually dispersed, Li Yiyang really didn't see the Liu family, and immediately thought that if the medicine was scarce in the future, he couldn't keep sending medicine back and forth, so he had to give the pharmacy to the villagers and go up the mountain to collect medicine by himself, which was a safe move.
The fire gradually extinguished, dissipating the bustle, and the darkness reoccupied the village of Sansen, bringing silence, and a night shadow crossed the sky, quietly flying to the foot of the mountain to the west.
Li Yiyang fell from the roof of Liu's house, and there was no bright light in the three rooms at the moment, it seemed that there was no one, and I didn't know where Liu Zheng and Liu Zhiyao went.
"Grandpa, will my mother really come back tomorrow?"
"Definitely, didn't you make a wish when you saw the fairy bird just now, you said it was very effective, and your mother will definitely come back tomorrow." ”
"But today, on the way to Hundred Flowers City, I always see it flying around, and it's different from usual. ”
Li Yiyang heard the conversation, and saw Liu Zheng and Liu Zhiyao going home, it turned out that they went to Baihua City to find her mother, and remembered what the old village chief said, Liu Yujiao and Liu's widow were seriously ill and went out by herself, and she has not returned yet.
Li Yiyang almost forgot about finding his mother from afar, and immediately waited for the two of them to enter the room before knocking on the door from the roof.
"Little brother..."The distance that opened the door looked cute and confused, and when she saw Li Yiyang who said goodbye again, she was a little speechless.
Li Yiyang had no choice but to explain: "I went to Tiancheng City yesterday, and I got medicine useless with money, which can cure the illness of the villagers and your mother." ”
He put a few packets of medicine on the table, and said, "Grandpa, this is the prescription, I will give it to her when my mother comes back, and you can pick the medicine yourself when you run out." ”
Li Yiyang is very aware of Liu Zheng's ability to collect medicines, before his own medicine grew in the mountain cliff and dense forest, he was nearly sixty years old and had been collecting and selling medicine for a living, and this prescription should be easier to pick than his own medicine, but seeing that he was old, he didn't want him to run around and be tired.
Li Yiyang explained clearly the things such as sending medicine and worshipping to fairy birds in the village, and said: "Grandpa can negotiate with the village chief about collecting medicine, and you guide the collection of money, so you will hand over the matter of collecting medicine to the young people, tell them how to collect it, and then just wait for the money at home." ”
Liu Zheng nodded: "Thank you so much for the rescue, I know this medicine, and it's not difficult to pick." ”
Li Yiyang said: "Hey, this is nothing, you saved my life at that time, not to mention that the medicine I took before was picked by your old man, and I can't repay the favor." ”
He explained the matter clearly, and just left, Liu Zhenghe insisted on letting him stay and leave tomorrow, Li Yiyang had no choice but to sleep in the room where he was recuperating from his injuries.
But he couldn't sleep, tossing and turning, so he went up to the roof and sat down, looking up at the sky, the sky was dotted with stars, the gloom of the day did not stay in the night, at this moment it was bright, the starry sky was dotted with bright moon.
Looking down at the ground, the moonlight leaves clear shadows of the trees, the stream by the field trickles, singing with the sound of frogs and insects at night, and the fireflies sparkle on the grass by the stream, this night seems quiet but lively.
Li Yiyang looked at the stream in front of him, and remembered that there were corpse Gu worms in the water, the stream came down from the mountain and went to the river, and the source of the big river and stream came from the mountain.
He pondered: "I don't have time to check whether there are corpse Gu worms in every section of the river, according to Qian Wufu, the corpse Gu worms are caused by corpses or Gu people, if there are corpses, then why don't you go to the source..."
"Who!"
As he was thinking, he suddenly saw a shadow disappear from the side of the house and disappear into the forest.
Immediately feeling puzzled, he chased after him, remembering that money was useless, Li Yiyang could not be lucky, he could only fly by wings, and the moonlight in the forest helped him, so that his eyes could lock on to the shadow in the night, but the branches blocked his route.
The shadow is extremely fast, Li Yiyang can see one or two, dressed in black, with long hair fluttering, and a delicate body, not like a man's body.
The shadow flickered, his feet did not touch the ground, shuttling between the branches, Li Yiyang frowned, and immediately took up his true qi and slapped it with a palm, this palm had no rules, but he was in a hurry, luck struck, hit the branch, and broke down.
The shadow seemed to feel it, floating from the air to the ground, turning into a long shadow, shuttling between the grass and stones.
The tree trunk fell into dust, and Li Yiyang didn't see it clearly, only to see that the shadow was no longer human, twisting its body on the ground, like a snake shadow.
He was taken aback, the shadow was too fast for him to keep up, but he felt his chest tight, so he couldn't hold his breath and hit the trunk of the tree and rolled to the ground.
Just now, Li Yiyang was in a hurry to mess with his true qi, which made the true qi in his body chaotic, lost his center of gravity, fell to the ground, and looked at the night shadow, which was gone.
sighed, felt unwilling, breathed a sigh of relief, and came to his senses, with the shadow of the body, if he caught up, his own Dao method was by no means his opponent.
But then he thought about it, why the shadow would run away, this was some doubt in his heart.
But when he saw the blood on the ground, he squatted down and pinched it with his hand, and the blood was warm and green, and he remembered that he had not hit the shadow, and that it was due to his original wounds.
But why is it green blood, Li Yiyang became more and more confused, and walked forward, sure enough, there were blood droplets, and he followed the blood droplets until the early morning, the sky gradually brightened, and he came to a spring waterfall, above which was a small lake, surrounded by large rocks and trees.
Li Yiyang climbed up, he couldn't help but get goosebumps, there were several floating corpses floating in the corner of the lake, the smell was extremely rotten, and there was faint black blood flowing out, the black blood was mixed with water, but it was not a piece, it was scattered and opened, he fixed his eyes and saw that the black thing was either blood, or corpse Gu worms!
It turned out that it was really the corpse that was decomposed, and this was the source of the river and stream, Li Yiyang covered his nose and mouth, and he could see that the three corpses were all women.
I can't think of why he died or who did it, Li Yiyang only knew that the corpse should be disposed of at the moment, so that the river water would not be contaminated by corpse Gu worms.
He hooked the corpse ashore with branches and trees, and the corpse was unrecognizable, rotten to the bone, and occasionally eaten by small insects.
Only the third face is still preserved, there is a black body on his back, which is being eaten by insects, Li Yiyang thought to himself, in a short time, this third corpse will become as rotten as the first two, and he has no heart to look at it.
Li Yiyang wanted to use the fire shield in Qimen Dunjia to burn the corpse, but suddenly found that the true qi in his body could not be lucky, and he panicked.
In the face of this situation, he had no time to think about it, so he had to dig a pit and bury it, cover it with mud, spread another layer of grass with it, and stomp on it a few times before he was relieved to leave, but he knew that as soon as his front foot left, the soil loosened a little.
