Yang Xian said: "I didn't expect that so many people would be forced to jump into the river by a plague, and eventually drowned and turned into water ghosts."
Qianqiu turned his head and asked the owner of the Medicine House: "Senior, is there a cure for this plague?"
The owner of the medicine house said: "No, I have been here for nearly three months and I still haven't found a cure."
"Three months, two villages were harmed. So the plague didn't spread very fast." Qianqiu murmured to himself.
The owner of the medicine house said angrily: "Boy, the eastern mountainous area is vast and sparsely populated, so naturally it will not spread very quickly. But if this matter is allowed to develop unchecked, wait until the plague moves a few more mountains to the east, and then you can Let’s see if this plague isn’t severe enough.”
When Qianqiu heard this, he felt that he had not thought it through well and said, "I admire your senior's determination to save the world, but I was just too arrogant. I hope you will forgive me."
The owner of the medicine house licked his long hair, which was as dry as dry grass, and said disdainfully: "Stop talking about this nonsense. I won't save people, and I won't help the world."
Yang Xian and Qianqiu also ignored the words of the owner of Yaolu.
Yang Xian thought about it carefully in his mind, and then said: "The water ghost thing is almost clear. After Yishui Village was infected with the plague, all the people disappeared. If these monsters dispersed from here, there is no need to worry about going elsewhere. Naturally, there are monsters and spiritual beasts to deal with. Although Yishui Village and Jinguang Village are relatively far apart, some monsters still brought the plague to Jinguang Village, and then harmed the entire villagers of Jinguang Village, and finally forced some villagers to dive. He escaped and then turned into a water ghost unwilling to die."
Qianqiu said: "That's probably what happened. What I'm worried about now is that if the plague-infected monster continues to be infected, sooner or later it will leave Dongfang Mountain and go to a more prosperous place, and it will infect more villages. I'm afraid it will get out of control. If this plague encounters a village with cultivators, it will be fine. The cultivators will help deal with some monsters. But once it encounters a village without cultivators, isn't it like a wolf entering a flock of sheep? "
Yang Xian nodded and said: "Starting from Jinguang Village, there are no villages in other directions except the east. They will definitely continue walking towards the east until the next village."
"Then there is probably only one high town left," Yang Xian said.
Qianqiu said: "It is a big town with tens of thousands of people, and there are not many practitioners. Once one person is infected with the plague, it will be bad."
Yang Xian said: "Brother Qian, even if there are cultivators, it will not help. The cultivators can at most protect themselves. To protect the people, we must develop a good way to control this plague."
Qianqiu and Yang Xian both looked at the owner of the medicine house who was playing with flowers and plants not far away.
The owner of the medicine house put down the scissors in his hand and said: "You two guys have a very clear overall plan. Mr. Yang, you are right. If the antidote is not developed, even the practitioners will not be able to protect the people."
Yang Xian said: "Senior, can you..."
"No." Before Yang Xian could finish speaking, the owner of the Medicine House blocked his mouth and said, "I have nothing to do with their life or death. I came here to make medicine just because it is suitable for making medicine, not because Save people.”
Upon hearing this, Qianqiu said to Yang Xian: "Old Yang, now is not the time to argue with seniors. Let's rush to Jinguang Village as soon as possible to see if we can understand the situation, and then curb this spreading trend first, and then Go research the antidote.”
At this time, the owner of Yaolu spoke up and said: "There are only two of you. There are hundreds or even thousands of monsters now. Can you two kill them?"
Qianqiu said: "Even if we can't stop it, we still have to try. We can't just watch these monsters endanger the people like this, right? Even if it's far away, those innocent water ghosts in the river must be given an account."
Yang Xian bowed to the owner of the medicine house and said, "Thank you, senior, for the medicine. I'll go first."
"Go, go, don't bother me here." The owner of the medicine house then walked into the house.
The two of them didn't care about the attitude of the owner of the medicine hut. They galloped all the way, following the river towards Jinguang Village.
On the way, Qianqiu asked: "Lao Yang, do you think this person is a little strange?"
Yang Xian said: "This senior is a bit sloppy, but I can't think of the problem for a while."
Qianqiu said: "She obviously can't cure the sores on her body, so why can she suppress the spiritual energy of the Jue Jue Guo in your body?"
Yang Xian sighed and said: "There is no time to think about it now. The senior's words are full of disdain for saving people, but he is actually studying the antidote. It is really hard to understand."
Qianqiu guessed: "Do you think she caused this plague?"
Yang Xian shook his head and said: "It's hard to say right now. Although she helped me, I always feel that she is hiding something from us."
While the two were talking, they ran to the Golden Light Village along the coast.
"This Jinguang Village must be here." Yang Xian pointed to the small village in front.
Qianqiu hugged his shoulders, looked at it for a long time, and said: "It looks like an empty village. Is it true that all the villagers are dead or have turned into monsters as the woman said?"
Yang first raised his nose, smelled it carefully, and said, "It smells so strong of blood."
Qianqiu also smelled it and said: "It came from Jinguang Village. Let's go and have a look. Maybe there are still surviving villagers."
The two of them walked into Jinguang Village.
As soon as they stepped into Jinguang Village, the two of them smelled the smell of blood.
The two of them walked along a wider road in the village.
Along the way, we found some bodies.
Qianqiu and Yang first tore off some strips of cloth and wrapped them around their mouths and noses.
Qianqiu walked to a corpse that was in a terrible state of death and began to investigate.
"There are many bite marks on the body, which seem to be caused by human teeth. The neck area was the most severely torn, and the flesh and blood were exposed. Judging from the degree of blood clot coagulation, it seems that he has been dead for a while." Qianqiu While investigating, I analyzed it in my mind.
At this time, Yang Xian called Qianqiu: "Brother Qian, there is a monster's body here."
Qianqiu stood up hurriedly, walked over, and inspected it.
The appearance of the corpse in front of me was not much different from that of ordinary people. There was only a bite mark on the throat, but the back of the head was dented. There were also many scratches on the body. It must have been scratched on a lot of things.
Looking at the differences, although this monster looks similar to a human, its eyes are blurred and the position of the eyeballs cannot be clearly seen, and its teeth have turned into frightening fangs, and there are still... flesh.
Yang Xian stood up and said: "This monster was also transformed from a human being. It seems that he died after someone hit him on the back of the head."
Qianqiu felt a little nauseous and said to Yang Xian: "Old Yang, even if any delicacies from the mountains and seas are placed in front of me now, I have no appetite."
Yang Xian said helplessly: "Me too. However, I am more worried when I see so many corpses. The combat effectiveness of this plague-infected monster is not low. You see, it has caused great harm to this village. Many houses have been damaged. Collapsed.”
Qianqiu said: "Lao Yang, let's see if there are any survivors in this village first. If there are any, let's take them to the next village that has not been attacked by the plague or monsters."
The two began to search in the village.
Qianqiu and Yang Xian agreed to meet at the entrance of the village in half an hour, and the two began to separate.
Qianqiu pulled off the cloth and thought to herself, "If you are going to be infected by the air, I don't think this cloth is of much use."
After turning a few small streets, he found only devastated houses, but not a single living person.
Qian Qiuxin said: "These monsters must have left, but not a single one was left alive."
Half an hour later, Yang Xian and Qianqiu met at the entrance of the village.
Yang Xian sighed and said, "No, I tried shouting a few times, but no one answered."
Qianqiu said: "It is possible that the incident happened suddenly and the villagers did not react. Otherwise, how could there be so many water ghosts."
Yang Xian said worriedly: "It seems that these monsters are likely to go to the next village where there is a human smell, as the senior said."
Qianqiu nodded and said, "The closest to Jinguang Village is Gao Town, right?"
Yang Xian recalled: "I looked at the map of Dongfang Mountain. The nearest village to Jinguang Village is Yishui, and the other one is Sihua Village!"
"Shouldn't it be Gao Zhen?" Qianqiu asked.
Yang Xian clapped his hands and said, "Sihua Village is a small village with only a few hundred people. I forgot about it in my hurry."
"Let's set out quickly! If we encounter these monsters on the road, we can deal with them on the spot and save the entire village." Qianqiu said.
Yang Xian suddenly coughed and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Qianqiu hurriedly supported Yang Xian and asked: "Old Yang, are you okay? Didn't you suppress it? Why are you still coughing up blood?"
Yang Xian waved his hand and said, "Maybe it's because we just caught up on the road and some of the medicine given by senior has been dispersed."
Qianqiu said angrily: "If that ugly quack doctor deliberately harmed you, I can't spare her!"
Yang Xian pressed the back of Qianqiu's hand and said, "It's okay, let's get on the road quickly!"
The two of them rode their knives and galloped all the way over two mountains without encountering any monsters along the way.
There was still half a mile away from Sihua Village, and the sharp-eyed Qianqiu saw movement in Sihua Village not far away.
Qianqiu said hurriedly: "Lao Yang, there is something going on in Sihua Village! Maybe it's those monsters that are causing trouble!"
Yang Xian nodded and said, "Let's hurry up!"
In an instant, the two of them arrived at the entrance of Sihua Village.
Sihua Village is built in a mountain col, surrounded by mountains, and the terrain is very low, so Qianqiu can see what's going on inside at a glance.
"Help! Help!"
At a glance, the two saw a villager in the village being chased by a group of monsters.
The two kicked off their feet, flew into the air, and landed next to the villager. One person lifted the villager with one hand and jumped onto the roof beside him.
When the monster at his feet saw the duck in his hand fly away, he roared angrily at the two people on the roof.
Qianqiu frowned, looked at the dozens of monsters below and said, "So these are the monsters."
I saw that there was no big difference between these monsters and humans. The biggest difference was their eyes and teeth.
The frightened villagers had not calmed down their panic and kept shouting: "The corpse has changed! The corpse has changed!"
Yang Xian hurriedly comforted the villagers and said, "Brother, please tell me slowly what is going on."
The villager was gasping for air, wiping sweat with his hands, looking ahead blankly, and continued after a long while: "I...I didn't come back from farming all night, and when I came back I See the dead come to life!”
Qianqiu and Yang Xian looked at each other, a little confused.
Qianqiu said: "Brother, please speak slowly and tell us the cause and effect of the matter, so that we can help you."
The villagers were in a daze for a while, and finally calmed down a little, and said: "You two young heroes, please save my wife and daughter, they are still at home!"
Upon hearing this, Qianqiu hurriedly said: "Brother, calm down. Tell me where you live, and I will help you find your wife and daughter."
The villager pointed to a nearby place with his hand and said, "The one with the flag on the roof is my house. Young heroes, I beg you, please save them quickly." After saying that, the villager knelt down and kowtowed.
Yang Xian hurriedly helped the villagers up and said, "We can't bear this big gift, please get up quickly."
Qianqiu said: "Lao Yang, you ask clearly about the situation here, I will go to rescue people first."
Yang Xian nodded.
Qianqiu drew out the Wuwu Sword and floated down the room. As soon as the monsters on the road saw Qianqiu coming down, they all rushed towards him.
Yang Xian looked at the nervous and panicked villager in front of him and comforted him: "We are disciples of the Eastern Sect. My name is Yang Xian. Brother, don't worry, be sure to tell me what happened carefully so that we can help you." .”
The villager swallowed his saliva and said: "Thank you, Young Master Yang. My name is Wang Xiaoqi, and I am a farmer in Sihua Village. I went out from home yesterday morning to plow the fields, and before I knew it, it was night. There were I felt tired, so I rested in the house at the end of the field for the night. I wanted to come back to see my wife and daughter the next day, but who knew that when I entered the village, I realized something was wrong."
