The gloomy Wei'an Town is located in a blind corner of the mountain ridge, which not only blocks most of the daily sunrise, but also makes the land unsuitable for sowing.
Although there are large tracts of rice planted outside the town, if you look closely, you will notice that the ears of rice are only the size of sesame seeds.
This is obviously caused by a lack of nutrients in the soil and insufficient sunlight.
But the townspeople never thought of moving away, and for some reason they always stayed at the bottom of the ridge.
There are more than a dozen farmers tending the fields, and some strong men with big shoulders and round waists can be seen around them. It is obvious that food is more important than their lives.
Farmers all have characteristics that are different from ordinary people, or they have deformed hands and feet, or their facial features are in places they shouldn't be.
When they heard the sound of footsteps, they all raised their wary eyes.
I saw two people, an old man and a young man, walking out of the town. The farmers looked relieved when they saw this, and some people even greeted them.
The old man's name is "Wang Qi", his skin is covered with dysentery, and his clothes are relatively simple, but he is a famous hole-digger from all over the country.
The so-called burrowers actually refer to the market activity of cleaning up rat infestations. They can identify the location of rat nests through various traces, and use poisoning, arson, smoke and other means to drive away the pests.
Behind Wang Qi was his granddaughter Wang Ling.
Wang Ling is at most in her early twenties, has an ordinary appearance, and suffers from hysteria, so she is still unmarried.
"Ling'er, don't go any further. Don't you know that the wildfires a few days ago almost burned through the mountains?"
Wang Ling pulled a simple two-meter cart with her right hand and murmured to herself: "Grandpa, I found my brother, I found my brother, he is still alive..."
Wang Qi was speechless and didn't know how to refute his granddaughter, so he could only follow Wang Ling silently, sighing constantly.
Ten years ago, there was a famine in Wei'an Town. Thousands of people died at that time, and the scene was as terrifying as hell on earth.
In a famine, many things would be unethical and unimaginable.
Wang Ling's brother Wang Shanlu died because of this. When he was almost starving to death, whoever died first had to distribute the body to other relatives.
Wang Ling ate Wang Shanlu's meat and went crazy from then on.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, we're almost there..."
Wang Qi's thoughts were interrupted by his granddaughter's shout. He quickly walked towards the tree hole at the edge of the jungle, thinking about how to comfort Wang Ling.
"Adi is here."
As a result, Wang Ling's slender body pulled out a skinny man from the tree hole, looking at Wang Qi with an expression that made her laugh.
Wang Qi's eyes were a little sore. Wang Shanlu looked like this during the famine. He was so thin that even wild dogs didn't care.
But he knew where the other party was from Wangshan Road.
The man was probably from a nearby village. He fled to Wei'an Town because of the wildfire and seemed to have fainted from hunger.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, I'm home."
Under Wang Ling's anxious urging, Wang Qi couldn't help but be in a dilemma.
The rule of Wei'an Town is that outsiders are not allowed in. With his old face accumulated over the years, he can reluctantly make an exception, but...
I am afraid that I am suffering from evil ghost disease, or I am a child of some immortal sect.
Wang Qi said softly: "Ling'er, I will naturally come home when I wake up."
"No, no, my brother's forehead is bleeding, he is going to die, he is going to die!!!"
Wang Ling's face was distorted with anxiety, and Wang Qi's arm hurt from her grip.
Wang Qi was stunned for a moment, and quickly moved to the man's side to check the situation. Then his expression became mixed, and he shook his head with a wry smile.
The man's forehead and eye sockets had protruding veins, and his temples were also protruding, which was obviously caused by heat poison entering the brain.
If such severe heat poison enters the brain, it is likely to cause dementia.
Wang Qi murmured: "Raising one is just as important as raising two. The money I earned from digging holes must be enough."
He looked at Wang Ling and thought that if his granddaughter's hysteria could be alleviated, if she was still unable to support herself when she was old and frail in the future, he might as well take the two of them away together.
"Let me do it. I need some food to moisten my stomach on the mountain road."
Wang Qi mixed the dry food he brought with him with water and fed it to the man, while Wang Ling watched carefully and did not dare to interrupt.
Little did they know that the shadows in the tree hole were squirming like living creatures.
Fortunately, neither of them had any malicious intentions, otherwise they would have suffered the same fate as the beasts that broke in before, and would have been swallowed up by the ghost.
After all the dry food was fed to the man, Wang Qi saw that the man's breath had eased, so he picked him up and placed him on the cart prepared by Wang Ling.
Strangely enough, Wang Qi felt that the man had become so thin that his ribs were clearly defined, but his weight was heavier than that of ordinary people.
"Ling'er, let's go home."
Wang Ling nodded happily, and the two of them walked along the path towards the town.
As soon as he arrived in Wei'an Town, Guiying instinctively tensed his body, and he could clearly feel the scrutinizing eyes falling on Ren Qing.
"Mr. Wang, you should know the rules in the town, right?"
The old farmer walked up to Wang Qi and asked in a deep voice. The other farmers also gathered around, and those strong men even showed signs of exerting strength in their feet.
"He is my brother..."
"Stop talking, Ling'er."
"That's it, Brother Xu."
Cold sweat broke out on Wang Qi's forehead, and he quickly explained: "This man is from another village. I have met him a few years ago. Now, because of the wildfire, the fire poison has entered his brain, and he is about to die."
"What's the matter, Mr. Wang? Do you want to take her to be a companion for your granddaughter?"
The young farmer couldn't help but laugh, and then noticed that everyone was looking at him, and subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Is it your turn to speak?"
Xu Changzhou looked down at the man and found that it was indeed what Wang Qi said. In addition, after hearing the words Wang Ling kept mumbling, he guessed the cause of the incident.
He had watched Wang Ling grow up, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart.
"You take him back to recuperate first, and I'll go talk to the other clan elders."
Wang Qi's expression was overjoyed. After thanking him, he quickly took Wang Ling back home. After all, the man's physical condition could not delay her.
Xu Changzhou glanced at the farmer who interrupted, turned around and walked towards the field.
The farmer was confused about the situation, and the people around him gloated and reminded: "Whose family has not had a rat disaster for several years? If a big problem happens, it will be difficult for you to ask Mr. Wang."
His face turned pale, he opened his mouth and finally closed it bitterly.
Because of this, the news that Wang Qi had brought a foreigner back spread like wildfire, and it soon spread among the 30,000 to 40,000 people in Wei'an Town.
However, they were suppressed by the elders of various ethnic groups elected in the town.
It was several days later when Ren Qing regained consciousness. He only felt sore all over his body, and the brain in his skull seemed to explode at any time.
He didn't check his surroundings and exhaled the information stream first.
【Ren Qing】
[Shou Yuan: Seventeenth Day]
[Types of disease: gigantism, hard bone, flesh gain, sleeplessness, cancer]
"On the 17th, was there any mistake?"
Ren Qing tried to speak, but was unable to speak at all, and the visibility of his eyes was extremely low, indicating that it was a sequelae of cerebral hemorrhage.
The body is abnormally thin, about 1.6 meters tall at most, obviously due to malnutrition.
Ren Qing looked around with the double eyes between his eyebrows, and unexpectedly found that he was not in a tree hole, but in a dark room.
Then he learned from the ghost what he had experienced during this time, and he was relieved.
Ren Qing has high hopes for this body. He must at least obtain one of the Immortality Technique and the Six Diseases Technique, otherwise it will be a waste of time.
After the separation of the soul and the cultivation of the Zexian method, he had to regain his footing in the forbidden area of immortality.
It takes several months to go back and forth.
"Grandpa, Shanlu woke up."
Wang Ling's voice sounded outside the house, and she could clearly hear that she was awake.
Wang Qi and the other two hurriedly walked in and opened the windows to let the dim sunlight from the outside disperse the darkness in the room.
He saw that Ren Qing's eyes were dull and he could only say "um um ah ah ah", and he also understood that the fire poison entering the brain would cause serious consequences.
"But it doesn't seem to have affected my body. Why..."
Wang Qi was a little confused. He knew that Ren Qing had eaten a lot of dry food, but he didn't gain weight. Instead, he became thinner and thinner as he ate more.
He suspected that it was due to Ren Qing's original stubborn illness.
"Ling'er, when he can walk on the mountain road, you can take him to the clan to practice some basic kung fu, so as to strengthen his body."
Wang Ling nodded repeatedly, but then heard Wang Qi say: "You just have to remember not to let the mountain road be used as blood food..."
Wang Ling tilted her head and couldn't understand the meaning of Wang Qi's words at all.
"Forget it, I will go and talk to the clan elders personally then."
Wang Qi chatted for a while, but soon left the courtyard because of something, leaving Wang Ling patiently feeding Ren Qing dry food.
Ren Qing was slightly embarrassed, but his hands and feet were indeed weak now.
Wang Ling waited for Ren Qing to finish eating the dry food, and then walked out of the house with satisfaction, and a wisp of the ghost's shadow fell in her shadow.
Ren Qing only asked Guiying to take out the food at this time. He couldn't even fill his stomach with dry food alone, and he couldn't afford his various diseases at all.
Small pieces of dried meat were stuffed into his mouth by Ghost Mocheng.
Ren Qing gulped down the dates, her abdomen gradually swelled, but her hunger remained. It was obvious that her body was too depleted.
Diseases such as hypertrophy, gigantism, bone disease, and cancer all require a large amount of nutrients and cannot even be fully digested by the stomach.
Ren Qing closed his eyes and rested his mind, obtaining the Youyuan contained in the jade pendant.
However, as soon as the Youyuan formed in the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, it was absorbed by the flesh and bones, causing a numbing feeling all over the body, and the heat flow continued to surge.
This time when he came to the Immortality Forbidden Zone, Ren Qing brought another jade pendant to store Youyuan, which should be barely enough to advance to the Golden Core stage.
At the same time, he used Wang Ling to explore the situation in Wei'an Town, trying to find any traces of the six diseases and two methods of immortality, and found many strange things.
Funerals are more frequent in towns, but there are no graves or mass graves. I wonder if this is related to the blood food Wang Qi mentioned.
Not surprisingly, some of the prisoners in Weinan Town should have come from Wei'an Town.
The Three Immortals of Fortune, Luxury and Longevity are supposed to be popular, and there is no temple to enshrine them, so why does the existence of the Peach Blossom Immortal not intervene.
Ren Qing felt that there must be a practice system related to the Six Diseases in the town, which was probably different from the hysterical practice of the Tree Immortal.
Hysteria practice is actually a method used to refine complete weird objects.
Thinking of all kinds of things, he couldn't help but fall asleep. The ghost also took advantage of his body to recover and implanted the insect roots into his spine.
