In the early morning, under the reluctance of Li Shining and his wife and Li Yueyue, Hua Zichen and Hua Yinger left Gusu and rushed back to Washington.

Rushing to noon, we have arrived at the place of Jiangling in the suburb of Jinling.

But looking at both sides of the road, the forest is dense, sometimes there are several acres of farmland, and there are a few people's houses.

"Walk a few hours and you'll be in Jinling. ”

Hua Ying'er looked at Hua Zichen, who was speeding in front, and whispered. Since she threw the Kunlun Mirror to the demon fox Yinluo last night, Hua Zichen hasn't said a word to her.

Hua Zichen walked briskly in front, with several bandages wrapped around his body, which was caused by the use of the "Giant Immortal Qi Spirit Technique" in the flower demon's belly last night. Although the action seemed quick, he was already out of breath and sweating profusely. The liver and kidneys in the abdomen are also in severe pain, the heart has been pounding and beating wildly since last night, and the arm that is swinging the fist is sore, numb and swollen, just holding an iron sword of a few catties, but it is heavy.

was seriously injured, but he didn't stop taking a step, just to rush back to Washington as soon as possible to participate in the deployment of reinforcements and resist the Eight Great Immortal Gates.

Under the reluctance, his spirit was sluggish, and he accidentally kicked an earthwork, and his body fell straight forward, "plopping" and falling to the ground, but he couldn't get up again.

"Young Master!" Hua Ying'er hurriedly ran to the front and helped him up, but saw that Hua Zichen was already gray and staring to death.

"How are you?" Hua Ying'er shook him sharply and asked with concern.

Hua Zichen opened his eyes slightly, and saw Hua Ying'er dimly, but he grabbed her hand and said weakly: "Why, why don't you give me the treasure of the Kunlun faction, the Kunlun Mirror, but give it to the fox demon?"

"I ······" Hua Ying'er hesitated for a moment, didn't dare to say the reason, just looked at the weak Hua Zichen, very distressed, and then said: "Young Master, you have been expelled from the Kunlun faction, and the former fellow sect, the son of the head of the sect, He Fei, actually hurt you to be swallowed by the flower demon and almost died." Such a ruthless and unrighteous teacher, why do you still remember them now?"

Hua Zichen hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's just that why not with that, that group of people has always wanted to harm me, and the master treats me as long as he doesn't favor his son······ It's good, at least for the sake of our two world friends, too, we have to recover the Kunlun Mirror for the master. ”

Hua Ying'er sighed softly: Huafu is very concerned about benevolence and righteousness, and the head of the mansion, Hua Xingmian and his three children, are extremely affectionate and righteous, especially Hua Zichen in her arms, when she was a child, she often fought with the children who bullied her for the sake of her, a little maid who had no father······

"Young master, I'll go and help you get a bowl of water to drink first. Looking at Hua Zichen's shriveled lips, Hua Ying'er gently put him down, and then walked to a farmhouse next to her.

I saw that the farmhouse was just a house made of ordinary mud and thatch, with a closed wooden door, and on both sides there were dried grain and clothes, and in front of the house there were a few hens secretly pecking at the dried rice.

Hua Ying'er knocked lightly on the door and said, "Is there anyone?"

No one answered in the middle of the ring, so Hua Ying'er knocked on the door of the next door and said, "Is anyone there?"

There was still no response, and then, Hua Ying'er knocked on the doors of four or five houses in a row, but no one answered.

"Strange, they've all gone farming?" Hua Ying'er said to herself, but looking at the front of those houses, there were clearly hoes, shovels and all kinds of farm tools.

"Ahh

When I looked up, I saw a woman about thirty years old, dressed as a peasant woman, her bloodshot eyes protruding from her sockets, her mouth half open, foaming at the mouth, and her dry hands were like two dry branches, grasping at Hua Ying'er and rushing towards her. Frightened, the chickens pecking at the grains next to them croaked and ran away.

Hua Ying'er looked at this woman who looked like a demon, her heart was shocked, and she stammered, "You, what are you doing here?"

The woman did not answer, but let out another terrible cry, like a ghost's howl.

In front of her, the woman grabbed Hua Ying'er with both hands.

"Ahh

The woman lay on the ground, panting heavily, trembling all over, and did not get up half-loudly.

"You, how are you?" asked Hua Ying'er in a low voice, and then slowly bent down to check.

Seeing this, Hua Zichen hurriedly struggled to get up and shouted, "Ying'er, be careful!"

"Hmm. Hua Ying'er leaned over cautiously and looked at the woman's face, but saw that she was panting, and blood kept dripping from her mouth.

Hua Ying'er couldn't help but be surprised, and asked with concern, "Eldest sister, what's wrong with you?"

The woman gasped for a moment, and then glared at Hua Ying'er with a pair of bloody eyes that almost wanted to vomit and protrude from her sockets, but her expression was mixed with hideousness and horror, and she kept opening and closing her mouth full of blood, as if she was saying something.

"You, what are you talking about?" Hua Ying'er slowly approached, then turned her ears to try to listen to her words.

The woman's bloody mouth opened and closed for a long time, and her hands like dead wood grabbed the ground fiercely, clenched the dirt in her fist, and finally let out a loud shout: "Run!"

Then a mouthful of blood spat on Hua Ying'er's face.

"Ahh

After shouting these words, the woman fell to the ground with a plop, but her body suddenly shook violently, her eyes bulged, she coughed rapidly, and blood kept spurting out of her mouth.

Hua Zichen and Hua Ying'er stared at the woman nervously, but she didn't move, obviously dead.

Hua Zichen took a long breath, and then said to Hua Ying'er, who was still stunned: "Ying'er, come and help me up." ”

"Oh, oh. Hua Ying'er finally came back to her senses, then wiped the blood from her face, stood up, and ran to Hua Zichen's side.

After Hua Zichen was helped up, he just stood tremblingly.

Hua Ying'er looked at the dead woman on the ground and said, "Young Master, let's go find someone to heal you first." ”

"No, we only need to walk for half a day to get to Jinling······ It's Washington!" Hua Zichen gritted his teeth and still struggled forward, but he faltered.

Hua Ying'er saw that he was struggling to support his injured body, she was distressed and helpless, so she had to help him continue to walk.

The two of them continued along this winding country road in the direction of Jinling.

It's just that the road is extremely deserted, there are no people, and there are occasionally a few farmhouses, but the doors are open.

It seemed that there was no one in the room, but at the door of the last door, a gray-haired woman was found lying at the door, with a large amount of blood flowing under her body, dyeing her gray clothes red.

Hua Ying'er asked in a low voice, "Grandma, are you okay?"

The old woman didn't answer, just lay quietly on her stomach.

"No, it's dead again!" the two were startled and had to continue on their way.

But as soon as he walked a short distance, he found an old man of about fifty years old lying on his back in the middle of the road, with a frightened expression, bulging eyes, a large mouth coughing and spurting blood, and two dry hands stretched out, constantly grasping the sky.

"Old Grandpa······

The old man coughed in the last sharp cough, spurting out a large mouthful of blood, and then swallowed, only one of his hands still holding on to it.

The two of them were silent for a while, and then they went around and continued to walk, but as they walked, they found several more corpses in the middle of the road or on both sides of the road, lying on their backs or lying on their backs, all in fear of death.

Walking further, there were more and more corpses in front of them, and they were all falling in the direction of Jinling, and the blood they spat out also soaked the earth deeper and deeper.

"What's going on?" the two wondered, but they didn't dare to stay in the sparsely populated place, so they had to carefully bypass the dead bodies and continue to move forward.

There was a camp ahead, with Earth ponies standing in the middle of the road, but it was very clean all around, and there were no dead bodies or blood.

There were green tents in the camp, and there were wails from inside: "Let me out!"

"I'm not sick, let me go!"

"Please, my child is just a full moon and has no one to take care of him at home!"

A group of people in power suits and masks turned a deaf ear to this, just weaving in and out of tents, busy.

The two stepped forward and were about to step forward to ask, but those people also noticed them, and one of them, a man with long eyes and short beards, a long body, and the appearance of a leader, shouted at them: "Jiangling Immortal Gate Tianying Gate is set up here, wait for it to retreat!"

They froze in place, and just asked, "What's going on?"

The leader said angrily: "There are so many dead people along the way, don't you see that there is a plague in Gangneung!"

"Plague?" The two were shocked, this kind of disaster actually happened at this juncture, and they didn't know what the situation in Jinling City was.

Hua Zichen hugged his fists and said: "Brother Tai, the two of us are from Jinling Huafu, can we be accommodating and let us pass by this way?"

Washington is the most powerful immortal gate in Jiangdong, and the leader has blessed Jiangdong for many years, and all the immortal sects have also given him some face.

But the leader waved his sleeves and said: "Washington is not good, if the plague enters Jinling, our Tianying Gate can not afford it!"

There was a blockage in the hearts of the two of them, and Jinling was in front of them, but they were not allowed to pass, but they were very anxious.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in a tent, and another shout was heard: "You bastards, get out of the way, let me go!"

With a roar, a big black-haired man rushed out of the tent, knocked over several Aquila Gate people in front, and then rushed out of the camp, followed by several people in the back.

"Get out of here!" Seeing that the big man rushed straight forward, and then knocked over a few more of the Aquila men who were pulling him, and rushed to the front of the camp.

The two of them saw that his eyes were also bloodshot, his mouth was open, and he was foaming at the foam, and they were startled and walked to the side.

But Hua Zichen was seriously injured and couldn't move, so Hua Ying'er went to the big man with one hand and said, "Get out of the way!"

The big man was extremely powerful, but he knocked her to the ground with Hua Ying'er's small hand, and then fled towards the dense forest next to her, and several people with the plague behind him also hurriedly followed.

"Hugh must be presumptuous!" The leader saw the man rushing out of the camp, so he swung his sword and shouted at the man's back: "Sharp stone!"

A sharp rock shot straight at the back of the man's head, and then with a "bang!" sound, the brain was pricked open and fell to the ground.

"Ahh

The leader ordered: "Carry that guy into the woods and burn it." ”

Then a few men pushed the cart, put the man on it, and pushed it into the dense forest.

Hua Zichen looked at the man who died tragically, and said to the leader angrily: "Although he wants to escape, you send more people to chase him back, why did you kill him directly!"

"Hmph," the leader withdrew his sword, rolled his eyes, and said, "In extraordinary times, it is an extraordinary act, and besides, my Heavenly Eagle Gate Three Sect Master is acting in Lone Eagle, and I still need to explain it to others?"

Seeing that this person was a very unreasonable guy, Hua Zichen said to Hua Ying'er next to him: "Ying'er, let's go." ”

"Hmm. Hua Ying'er got up from the ground, but she frowned and covered her chest, obviously hit by the man just now.

Hua Zichen walked to the dense forest next to him and said, "Ying'er, let's go and find out, if there is any other way to Jinling." ”

Hua Ying'er suddenly coughed violently, "Vomit!", and spit out a large pool of blood.

"Ying'er!" Hua Zichen stared at her with wide eyes.

"It's blood plague!" Yu Yixing immediately drew his sword and pointed at Hua Ying'er, and then more than a dozen people ran out of the camp, as if they were facing a great enemy, and surrounded them.

"Blood plague?" Hua Zichen wondered.

"That's right," Yu Guying said: "This plague is called blood plague, nearly half of the people in Jiangling have been infected with this blood plague, anyone who is stained with the blood of the plague will be infected with this disease, at least two or three hours, at most half a day will vomit blood and die!"

Hua Zichen exclaimed: "There is such an evil sect, it will ······ in two or three hours to half a day."

Looking at Hua Ying'er's body again, her body was still trembling slightly, a trace of blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth, and she was listless. Thinking about it again, she was clearly spit in the face by the peasant woman before. It's just that the onset is so fast, it's really unbelievable.

"This ······ What should I do?" Hua Zichen felt sad for a while, he couldn't imagine that he had only met for a few days, and he had been together day and night for twelve years, and such an important person would suffer from such a vicious disease.

couldn't help but howl sadly: "Ying'er, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have promised you to pick me up in Hankou!"

Hua Ying'er just looked at him and shook her head, as if to say, "I'm going to go." "It's just that the face is turning pale at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Yu Guying seemed indifferent to the sorrow in front of him, and just said to Hua Zichen: "Okay, get out of the way if you don't get the plague, and when the patient dies, we will inform you again!"

"How can this be good, how can I go back to Washington alone?" Hua Zichen choked up, he really couldn't accept it, it was only a few days, and he was going to part with life and death.
