Volume II, Chapter 159, Dong Chaos, 14
Seeing this, Ling Xiao's body rotated seven hundred and twenty degrees in the air, and two sword rays around his body came out, only to see that the ghosts within the two battles from Ling Xiao suddenly disappeared completely, Ling Xiao looked at the sky, at this time the sky was about to break, and at the critical juncture, Ling Xiao said to Ye Tianjin and the others: "Don't be entangled here, go chase people first." ”
Everyone listened to Ling Xiao's words, and they all turned around in the air and flew out of this group of ghost arrays, these ghosts saw Ling Xiao and the others flying away, and they all wanted to turn around and chase after them, but at the moment of turning around, the first light of the morning sprinkled on the earth, and these ghosts all dissipated the moment they saw the light.
Ling Xiao and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the black oppressive ghost behind them, which instantly dissipated, but for some reason everyone also felt some emotion and regret in their hearts, thinking about what a person has experienced in his life, he will eventually return to dust, and finally become this picture.
But this is not the time to regret and sigh, even if everyone looked at each other, they all understood what Ling Xiao meant, and chased in the direction where the black shadow fled just now, this person fled in the direction of Jiangzhou, and everyone also chased over, at this time it was just dawn, so at this time the people in Jiangzhou were still asleep, and the entire Jiangzhou Street was very empty and lonely.
Everyone followed the black shadow all the way to Jiangzhou Street, but they didn't find any suspicious figure at all, Ye Tianjin looked at the empty and lonely street in front of him: "What should I do?" Senior brother, he ran away. ’
Ling Xiao squinted at the road ahead, and flew into the air with a leap of his body, in order to gain insight into the movements of the entire Jiangzhou, at this time the streets of Jiangzhou were empty, so it was easy to detect the suspicious person here, and the person who owned the Nuwa Stone was a mortal, and he had not yet started to use the Nuwa Stone to cultivate the exercises, so at this time, the person's cultivation should not be very high, and he would not escape so easily.
Sure enough, Ling Xiao flew into the air and really saw a black shadow hiding in the corner, the black shadow seemed to have discovered Ling Xiao's existence, when he wanted to escape, Ling Xiao flew straight towards the person when he saw this, and grabbed the person's shoulder to prevent the person from escaping again, but the man in black begged for mercy while covering his face with his sleeve: "Young man spare his life, major spare his life." ”
Ling Xiao looked coldly at the man and turned the man's entire body over, and said coldly: "Hand it over!"
The man didn't know what Ling Xiao wanted from him again, and immediately begged for mercy: "Shaoxia spare his life, the villain doesn't remember stealing Shaoxia's things." ”
As he spoke, Ye Tianjin, Helianqing, Sang Xue, Su Xin and others also rushed over, Ye Tianjin saw the man in front of him covering his face, and shouted: "Okay! It turns out that you are a stinky Nuwa stone called Huazi, and you dare to call so many evil people to harm us." ”
Hearing Ye Tianjin say this, the man in black was even more unclear, he said in a loud voice: "The villain doesn't know what the young man means, the villain really doesn't know what Nuwa Stone is, and he doesn't know what evil it is, the villain is just a little beggar in Jiangzhou, at most, he usually steals a money bag when his hands are itchy, but the villain has never stolen the things of a few young heroes, and begged a few majors to let the villain go." ”
Ye Tianjin looked at the very strange beggar in front of him and said with interest: "What do you say you are a beggar, what are you dressed like this? And since you didn't steal anything from us, why are you blocking your face?"
Hearing Ye Tianjin's question, the beggar hurriedly explained: "Hui Shaoxia's clothes were just picked up by the villain, as for why the villain covered his face, it was because the villain had a strange disease recently, and his face was covered with carrion, and the villain was afraid that the villain was extremely scared." ”
Everyone looked at the broken beggar in front of him suspiciously, Ye Tianjin was even more puzzled by the words of the beggar in front of him, he pulled down the sleeve of the black-clothed beggar to cover his face, and said: "Who are you fooling? I haven't seen any scenes, master, and I'm afraid that you ......." Ye Tianjin was very confident, because he felt that the beggar in front of him was deceiving them, but when he pulled down the beggar's sleeve and saw the beggar's face, several people were stunned, because the beggar in front of him was really full of carrion as he said, the whole face was blurred with flesh and blood, and it was very scary to look at, and what made everyone even more shocked was that the carrion on the face of the man in front of him, everyone seemed to have seen this familiar scene somewhere.
Ye Tianjin pointed to the man in front of him in astonishment and said, "He...... Isn't he the one in Nanhai Village?"
Hearing Ye Tianjin say this, everyone remembered that the symptoms on the face of the man in front of them were similar to the carrion on the face of the young man they saw in Nanhai Village, and everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts when they saw such a scene.
Ling Xiao hurriedly asked, "When did you have this symptom?"
The man in black hesitated and said, "Three...... Three days ago. ”
Everyone was shocked, you must know that when you were in Nanhai Village at that time, this was a very serious epidemic, and it was extremely contagious, although the number of people in Nanhai Village was very small at that time, it still infected most of the village in the end, and Ling Xiao then asked Then who have you been in contact with in the past three days?
The beggar hurriedly shook his head and said: "The villain doesn't know, the villain really doesn't know, the villain has been wandering around Jiangzhou South Street for the past three days, asking for a small amount of money from passers-by, and begging for food from a nearby shop, and the villain has never seen anyone." ”
Helian Qing frowned and looked at the person in front of him: "It seems that he has been in contact with a lot of people in the past two days, what should we do now, senior brother?"
Ling Xiaodao first isolated the person, and then investigated the suspicious person in the area of Jiangzhou South Street.
At this time, everyone was worried that the epidemic on this person's body would be contagious, and Ye Tianjin suddenly had an idea: "By the way, you haven't said where your black robe came from." ”
The beggar said, " I don't know, I'm in rags, the people on the road in the past three days saw my face all without being frightened, they not only didn't give me food, but also asked someone to expel me, no way the villain is too hungry, I will starve to death if I don't eat, I can only find a piece of cloth to surround my face, but I am a poor beggar how can I have a good and complete cloth, usually cover this piece and expose that piece, if people see my face will be people's Congress, you see that I have been beaten in these three days. The beggar said that he did not forget to show the wound on his arm to the others, and everyone looked at the beggar's body, and they could not help but sympathize with the beggar in front of them.
Seeing that the people were silent, the beggar continued: "This morning, while I was asleep on the side of the road, I suddenly heard footsteps, and I saw a dark shadow flash in my dim eyes. Listen to the beggar for a moment to the point.
Helian Qing hurriedly asked, "Can you see where the black shadow went, and have you seen the face of that black shadow?" ”
The beggar shook his head and said, "No, when I chased after the black shadow, I left this black robe, I saw that this robe was new, so I took him to wear, but I didn't expect that I just put on this young man and chased after him." ”
Hearing the beggar say this, Ye Tianjin couldn't help but complain: "You really dare to wear it, and you dare to wear the murderer's clothes?"
The beggar sighed helplessly and said, "Hey, what else do I have to choose as a beggar, as long as my clothes can protect me from the cold and keep me warm." ”
Hearing the beggar say this, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, Sang Xue looked up at Ling Xiao and asked, "Senior brother, what should we do now?" He asked where to settle, this person has been in contact with a lot of people in the past few days, it seems that we have to be aware of the people around us in the past two days, so as not to infect more people." ”
Ling Xiao nodded to show his agreement with Sang Xue's point of view, and Ye Tianjin said again: "But we can't just isolate him, we still need to heal, in my opinion, these mortal doctors are not yet capable of curing these people, and they can cure this epidemic right now...... The only thing I can think of is Elder Baicao...... Uncle !!"
When Ye Tianjin said the three words "Little Uncle", everyone couldn't help but chuckle again in their hearts, even if Ling Xiao Ye Tianjin's eyes dimmed, of course, this also included Ye Tianjin.
Helian Qing pretended not to hear Ye Tianjin's last three words, and he said, "Senior brother, why don't we go back to Uncle Baicao now, I asked my father to find someone to settle him down first." ”
Ling Xiao frowned, shook his head, and said, "Elder Baicao is in retreat now. ”
Hearing Ling Xiao say this, everyone was shocked, you must know that according to rumors, the last time Elder Baicao went into retreat was a hundred years ago, and Elder Baicao suddenly wanted to retreat for some reason, and the last time he closed was ten years, no matter what happened in the outside world, Elder Baicao turned a deaf ear.
Ye Tianjin was stunned: "What...... What do you say, Senior Brother, Elder Baicao is in retreat? His apprentice's whereabouts are unknown now, and he is still in the mood to retreat? What does Elder Baicao think, and you must know that he will not come out of retreat for ten or eight years, and I don't know what Elder Baicao is doing in retreat, he doesn't say anything every time, he just disappears inexplicably for ten or eight years, and the most chilling thing is that he doesn't pay attention to the affairs of the world at all, even if the world is about to perish, he will not come out. ”
Ye Tianjin's words were good, so everyone didn't refute Ye Tianjin, but after a moment of silence, Su Xin, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "So I can only go to the white girl now?" When Su Xin said this, her eyes unconsciously looked at Ling Xiao with a solemn face on the side.
Ling Xiao didn't speak, but his face was full of depth, and after a long time, he spoke: "Helian, he handed it over to you to settle down, Elder Penglai must know about this matter, you don't let him dismiss the others first, we will also go back to change clothes as soon as possible, and wash our bodies with sulfur soap." Then we will go to Penglai to talk about this matter and report it to the elders, this matter is very important, and we should wait for the elders to discuss before making a decision. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard Ling Xiao's words, and in the end, Sang Xue couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Then Senior Brother Bai Girl, are we still looking for it?"
