Chapter 60: The Altar

While cultivating, Yue'er stared at the gray qi in the sea of qi, which was originally only the size of a marble, but now it has expanded several times and is the size of an egg. She hadn't cultivated once, but she could see the expansion of the air mass with the naked eye, and she firmly thought that one day, she would be able to suddenly rush into the thick shackles and rush into the layer of condensation!

Early the next morning, Yue'er opened her eyes and was about to get up to leave, but she saw Qing'er and Li Er lying on the side, their lips were cyanotic, she was shocked, were they frozen to death?

Yue'er hurriedly touched Li Er and Qing'er's carotid arteries and found that there was still a pulse. Yue'er suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, hurriedly put on the bamboo basket on her back, folded Qing'er on Li Er's body, carried the two people, and ran to the county.

When Yue'er came to the city gate, she found that the city gate was strictly guarded, and it was difficult for her to enter the city.

"Girl!" a voice sounded behind him.

"Shopkeeper Tong!" Yue'er turned around and found that it was Shopkeeper Tong, she threw Li Er to the ground and said worriedly, "Shopkeeper Tong, look at Li Er and Qing'er, what's wrong with them!"

"They are poisoned!" shopkeeper Tong glanced at Li Er and replied.

"How do you know?" Yue'er was suddenly very surprised, and asked anxiously, "Now that I can't enter the city, I want to find Dr. Cen for treatment, what do you say we should do!"

Shopkeeper Tong looked at the herbs in Yue'er's back basket, and immediately said happily: "You got so many herbs, hurry, follow me, Dr. Cen is not in the city, he is busy saving people in the village!"

"Save people, what's wrong?" Yue'er hurriedly picked up Li Er on the ground, and left in a hurry with the shopkeeper Tong, asking questions from time to time.

"Dr. Cen and I went to the village to deliver medicine, and we found that many villagers were poisoned, and the symptoms were exactly the same as Li Er! Let's not talk so much, hurry up and send your herbs to Dr. Cen to see if we can save them!"

Yue'er followed the shopkeeper Tong to Yuexia Village, there was a big river at the entrance of the village, which was connected to the river where Yue'er stayed last night, Yue'er didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly entered the village with the shopkeeper Tong.

Seeing that there were poisoned people lying everywhere in this village, and there were few living people walking around, Yue'er suddenly asked in surprise: "Shopkeeper Tong, why are all the people here poisoned!"

"I don't know, what's going on!" After the shopkeeper Tong finished speaking, he hurriedly walked into a thatched hut and shouted inside: "Brother Cen Xian, I'm back!"

"Brother Tong, you're here so soon, hurry up and bring the herbs. Dr. Cen came from inside the room.

"I met Yue'er halfway through, and I came with her!" shopkeeper Tong walked into the room and handed Yue'er's backpack to Dr. Cen.

"So much, Yue'er, it's really hard for you!" Dr. Cen touched Yue'er's head and said with great relief.

"Of course, our family Yue'er is a capable little girl!" said the shopkeeper Tong proudly. Ever since he opened his heart knot and lived under the same roof as Yue'er, he regarded Yue'er as a family!

"Doctor Cen, come and see Li Er, his symptoms are the same as these villagers, come and take a look!" Yue'er walked into the house with Li Er and shouted at Doctor Cen.

"I'll take a look!" Dr. Cen checked Li Er's pulse, his face showed embarrassment, and said, "Hey, like the other villagers, they are all poisoned!"

"So what now!" asked Yue'er anxiously.

"I don't know what kind of poison they have been in, so I can only try one antidote, one antidote!" Dr. Cen touched the herbs in the basket and said helplessly.

"And do you know how they were poisoned?" asked Yue'er.

"I guess they must have eaten something that caused the poisoning, but this Li Er is not from their village, how can he also be poisoned?"

"Do you think it's a problem with the river?" Yue'er guessed as she suddenly remembered the big river that flowed through the village.

"Wait, I'll take a look!" said Dr. Cen and ran towards the river, where he soon brought back a small bucket of river water, poured it into a small bowl, and fed it to a big yellow dog.

Dr. Cen watched from the side again, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see anything unusual about the big yellow dog, so he shook his head, returned to the thatched house, and said to Yue'er: "I fed some river water to the big yellow dog outside, but I didn't find anything unusual, I'm afraid it's not the reason for the river!"

Yue'er looked at Li Er, who was unconscious, and said distressedly: "Since it's not the reason for the water, then what's it?" Yue'er took out a bowl of clear river water, fed it to her mouth, tasted it, but found nothing, and was suddenly a little discouraged.

"Let's take our time to find an antidote. After Dr. Cen finished speaking, he threw the river water aside, used the water in the tank, and began to boil the antidote.

In the evening, Dr. Tong suddenly barked outside: "Come out and see, this big yellow dog has fallen!"

Dr. Cen hurried out of the house and checked the big yellow dog, and found that the symptoms were the same as those of other villagers!

"Oh no!" Dr. Cen hurried back to the grass hut, grabbed Yue'er and said, "Girl, that big dog drank water, something really happened, what about you, let me see, are you okay?"

Doctor Cen finished taking the pulse, his face turned pale with fright, hugged Yue'er and asked, "Girl, you talk quickly, what's wrong with you, you talk, where are you uncomfortable!"

"I'm fine!" Yue'er withdrew her hand, looked at Dr. Cen, and asked worriedly, "Is there something wrong with me?"

"It's okay, you have a good rest, don't move around, I'll take care of you on the side. Doctor Cen said, immediately buried his head in frenzied search for the antidote, he just took Yue'er's pulse, and found that Yue'er's pulse was very weak, even weaker than the pulse of those who were unconscious, he really didn't know when Yue'er would suddenly fall, he must find the antidote quickly, and treat Yue'er and these people!

I really don't know who hurt the conscience and did such a thing of cutting off children and grandchildren, poisoning the water, Dr. Cen thought distraughtly.

The shopkeeper Tong also learned that Yue'er drank the river water, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly sent Yue'er into the room to rest.

When the two entered the house, they found an old woman lying in the house. After inquiry, I learned that this thatched hut only lived in this lonely old woman, and it was usually the people in the village who helped her fetch water, and a jar of water was enough for her to use alone for half a month, so she escaped!

Yue'er saw the old woman, who was as thin as firewood, and quickly took out the "chicken" and invited her to eat.

In the next few days, Dr. Cen and his entourage all relied on Yue'er's "chicken" to survive, and no one has fallen so far. And Dr. Cen made an antidote, first asked Yue'er to test the medicine, and then checked Yue'er's pulse, but it had no effect at all.

In the following half a month, the villagers lay on the ground, no one took care of them, and many people were eaten by wild beasts.

At this time, Dr. Cen found that these people were heavier than the other, and he curiously untied the padded jackets of the unconscious villagers, and suddenly found that the bodies of these villagers were gradually petrified!

He felt the breath of the villagers and found that they were all alive.

"What kind of strange disease is this, turning living people into stones!" shopkeeper Tong scolded through gritted teeth.

Yue'er also often came out to help, when she saw these people gradually petrified, she immediately ran to Li Er, untied Li Er's clothes, and found that Li Er was still human flesh and had not been petrified, but Qing'er was not so lucky, she was already slowly petrified.

Yue'er suddenly became distressed, what happened, how could this good river eat people and petrify!

"Doctor Cen, what do you think we should do now?" asked Yue'er with a sad face.

"I can't help it, now I can only take one step at a time!" Dr. Cen said helplessly.

"I'll go to the river again and see what I find!" Yue'er didn't want to sit still, she had to find the source and catch the poisoner!

"Yue'er, don't walk around, it's dangerous outside!" Doctor Cen grabbed Yue'er and said worriedly.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me!" Yue'er broke free of Dr. Cen's hand, took out a large basket of "chicken", and said to Dr. Cen, "I don't know how many days I will be gone, I will give you all this meat, it should be enough for you to last for a while." ”

"Yue'er, what are you going to do if you give us all the meat?" asked Shopkeeper Tong worriedly.

"I still have it, you don't have to worry about me!" Yue'er said and walked towards the river.

Yue'er trotted to the river, she must hurry up to find the source, otherwise Li Er and the others will die sooner or later.

Yue'er looked at the direction of the river, this poison should have come from upstream, she thought of this, followed the river, and went upstream.

Along the way, Yue'er found several villages living by the river, and all the villagers in them were poisoned, and none of them were spared!

The villagers were lying on the ground with cyanotic lips and expressionless faces, shocking. Yue'er couldn't bear to continue to go up, squatted by the river, looked at the fish turned into stones in the water, screamed in her heart, and shouted angrily at the river: "What happened to this Tama, who can tell me!"

"I can tell you!" At this time, Xiaobai said to Yue'er in the voice of an old man with vicissitudes of life.

"Looking for death?" Yue'er exhaled deeply, and asked unhappily when she mentioned Xiaobai, "Are you still in the mood to joke now?"

"Girl, have you heard of the thousand-year-old snow lotus!" Xiao Bai said in an old voice, "This kind of snow lotus can detoxify all kinds of poisons, and even has the effect of reviving the dead!"

"You can spare me!" Yue'er rubbed Xiaobai's head and criticized unhappily, "Xiaobai, sleep obediently, don't make trouble." I'm annoyed right now!"

"You can't teach it!" shouted Xiaobai angrily.

Yue'er didn't bother to pay attention to Xiaobai, stood up, and continued to walk forward.

When she left the border of Yue County and came to the land belonging to the Great Zhou Kingdom, she suddenly found that thick smoke was billowing in the distance, and Yue'er suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart and quietly approached.

When she went around the mountain and came to the bottom of the river, she found an altar on the opposite bank, surrounded by strange runes, and the altar was burning with fire. After doing all this, the young man in white stood up again and threw a bunch of unknown weeds beside him into the fire.

The boy stood under the altar, opened his arms, and continued to chant.

Soon, a cloud of grass ash erupted from the flames of the altar, and when the young man saw this, he quickly gathered his spiritual energy, sent the grass ashes into the river, and then bowed down to the altar again!

"Girl, hurry! stop him, he's poisoning!" the old voice came from Xiaobai's body again.

"How do you know?" Yue'er was shocked when she heard this.

"I'm the Holy Ancestor, of course I know!" said in the old man's voice, with arrogance.

"Then you're waiting for me here!" After Yue'er finished speaking, she threw down Xiaobai, took out the flying sword, and the sword crossed the river, and then gathered energy in her hand and attacked the young man's back!

When Yue'er approached the boy, she saw the golden light flashing on the boy's back, and the fire on the altar was engulfing Yue'er!

"Return!" Yue'er quickly turned her sword and stepped back, but she was still a step too late and was knocked to the ground by the fire.

"Hey, it hurts!" Yue'er said, rubbing the burnt clothes on her chest and showing a painful look on her face.

"Who are you, dare to sneak attack me!" The young man in white also found Yue'er at this time, turned around, looked at Yue'er vigilantly, and asked.

"Why are you poisoning the river!" Yue'er stood up and asked without answering.

"Do I still need to think about what I want you to explain, while I haven't been angry yet, you can leave me quickly!" The young man looked at Yue'er and said coldly.

"Ma, the tiger is not powerful, you treat me as a sick cat!" Yue'er gritted her teeth and said, while summoning the jade hammer in her hand and shouting: "Super invincible jade hammer!"

Suddenly, Yue'er's jade hammer instantly became larger, like a small mountain, and smashed towards the altar!

The flames of the altar immediately repeated, sending out a raging fire that engulfed the jade hammer in one gulp. Resist the whereabouts of the Jade Hammer.

Yue'er gritted her teeth, grabbed the handle of the hammer, and smashed it down.

Seeing that the two sides were deadlocked, the young man immediately summoned a flying sword and attacked Yue'er.

Seeing this, Yue'er still didn't dodge, but the strength in her hand increased a lot, and once again lowered the flame of the altar by a few points.

With a "bang", the flying sword smashed on Yue'er.

"Ahh

With a loud "boom", the altar was instantly smashed into pieces and flew around!

"Poof!" The young man's mind was shared with the altar, the altar was hit hard, and he was also implicated, spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, glared at Yue'er viciously, and then stepped on the flying sword and released cruel words: "You wait, you dare to destroy my good deeds, I will definitely not let you go!" After speaking, the young man fled away with the flying sword.
