Chapter 44 Stone Forest Village

The two drove for a while, Shen Yi stopped talking on the way, Yi Qingchen carefully observed the changes in the surrounding environment, and caught a glimpse of the silver embroidery on the wristband from the corner of the eye, and a man's deep voice unconsciously appeared in his mind .

"The complete clothing of the disciples of the Medicine Sect is composed of three parts: the inner lining, the outer garment, and the drape. The new disciples of the beginner sect only have one inner lining. After passing the entrance examination, they will be issued a short jacket. The short gown will be replaced by the middle gown, and if it is higher, it will be replaced by the long gown, and so on."

"It is not until the coat reaches the ground that the highest position of ordinary disciples is considered. And the elite disciples who seem to be hand-picked will wear an additional coat. As for the generation of elders and suzerains, in order to distinguish it from the disciple's uniform, they often wear it on their own. Participate in the design, and the outer cover will also be replaced with a cloak.”

"The costumes of the disciples inside and outside the sect are also different. The belt of the former is inlaid with white jade, while the latter is inlaid with sapphire with a lower value..."

I asked myself, "But your inner lining is clearly the style of a disciple's uniform, but you are still wearing a big cloak outside, and your belt is also made of black jade..."

The man gave a low laugh, "Because I'm different from them."

"What's the difference? Although you are an elder, you are only a temporary replacement. You are so special, so you are not afraid of those disciples poking your back?"

"Otherwise, why do you think I live alone on this Shuangjiang Peak?"

"..."

Right now, this set of clothes on my body has an outer cover, and the belt is also white jade, but the embroidery on the fabric is bluegrass, and there is a girdle around the waist, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a female disciple.The more Yi Qingchen looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he looked around for the clothes of the male disciples. As expected, the clothes of the male disciples were embroidered with bamboo, and there was only a three-finger-wide belt around their waists.

He was about to question Shen Yi, but when his eyes fell on her face that was written with "Why can't I do anything well?", he couldn't bear to speak, so he endured it all the way.

However, women's clothes are always a bit restrictive to wear, and after wearing Lin Fuye's trouser legs and getting caught by branches several times, Yi Qingchen finally couldn't stand it anymore.Shen Yi saw the displeasure on his face, and took the initiative to come forward to inquire, "Master Yi is worried about the next thing?"

Yi Qingchen didn't answer, but just tied the skirt around a few times and tied it in a knot. The skirt cover was covered by pants, so there was no need to worry about poisoning the skin after entering the village.He tidied up everything, and moved a lot more flexibly, and Shen Yi also realized his mistake after a while, "Oh, I took it wrong."

With five simple words, Yi Qingchen was extremely speechless, so he could only smile wryly, "Why are you so sloppy?"

Shen Yi scratched her head and explained, "Second Senior Sister is equipped with a special attendant to take care of her daily life. Over the years, Ruying has been responsible for dressing and eating, and her brain has gradually become dull. The style of the female disciples. However, the clothes of the male and female disciples of the Medicine Sect are not much different. I can’t tell the male and female at a glance, but the characteristics are not obvious enough. I will definitely propose to the tailor after I go back. .”

Then he examined Yi Qingchen from head to toe again, "But Mr. Yi, you look good and look good in everything you wear, so you don't have to worry about these things, right?"

Yi Qingchen subconsciously wanted to take a picture of Shen Yi's head, but another scene flashed in his mind. It was the hottest season in Miaojiang. For some reason, Shen Yi, Shen Sheng and Hua Shenchi accompanied him here. A cold and damp mass grave.

Kneeling in front of the tombs of his parents, brothers and sisters, he solemnly said to the graves, "These three are the three good brothers and sisters Xiao Qi met recently, Hua Shenchi, Shen Chensheng, Luo Chenyi, they have known each other for too long , so I won’t go into details one by one, in short, they all treated Xiao Qi very well, and Xiao Qi has a very happy life, so you can feel at ease in the underground.”

Probably the atmosphere was too gloomy, tears welled up in her eyes unconsciously, Yi Qingchen sniffed, and hurriedly changed the subject, "Xiaoqi, let me introduce you, Yiyi is the youngest among us, we have been talking about her Take care of her as a younger sister, don't look at her smart looks, she is actually very sloppy, she can't do anything well if no one takes care of her, just like Xiaojiu."

"Shen Sheng is the punishment disciple of the Medicine Sect. Although he looks like a hero, he is actually a coward, but he has a good heart, but he is easier to be deceived..." Yi Qingchen thought to himself As Zizai said that, Shen Sheng wanted to hit someone very much, but because Hua Shenchi was present, he didn't dare to attack, so Shen Yi covered his mouth and laughed, "I think Mr. Yi is quite right. "

Yi Qingchen smiled at the three of them, then lowered his voice again, and continued to talk to the people in the tomb, "Father, mother, in fact, when I came back this time, I wanted to bring a person back to show you, I think you know it too, It's Shen Chi. Don't blame the child for being unfilial..."

"Although it looks cold on the surface, it is actually very good for children..."

"He's the child's..."

While Yi Qingchen was in a daze, he was traveling through the forest. Not long after, he tripped over a branch that was protruding from the tree, and almost fell straight to the ground from mid-air. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, and immediately reached out and grabbed the object at hand. He turned over and squatted halfway on the branch.Shen Yi hurriedly chased after seeing this, and said with lingering fear, "Master Yi, what's wrong with you? This is not like you back then..."

Yi Qingchen covered his head with his hands, unable to tell what kind of mood he was in at this moment.He hesitated whether to tell Shen Yi about his amnesia, but he still couldn't fully trust Shen Yi.In other words, he still dared not trust anyone in Lingshan until all his memories were restored.

Thinking of this, Yi Qingchen only smiled slightly at Shen Yi, "It's no big deal, I'm not as diligent as those young people in Weicheng, and I'm probably a little unfamiliar. After I get to know you for a few days, it should be easy." can be restored.”

Seeing Yi Qingchen's reassurance, Shen Yi also felt relieved, she helped Yi Qingchen up, and continued to lead the way, "Young Master Yi, be careful, we will be at the village boundary next."

Not long after Shen Yi finished speaking, the color of the surrounding trees changed, the bark gradually turned black, the air also became chaotic, and there was always a cloud of green in front of the eyes, making people unable to see the distant scenery clearly.

The two stopped at the border of the jungle, and Shen Yi found an old tree familiarly, and jumped to the top together with Yi Qingchen.

This tree is the tallest tree in the forest. From its top, you can see far away, and you can have a panoramic view of the village. Although the miasma is thick, it is not enough to erode to the height of the tree crown.The two landed on the top of the tree crown, startling a flock of crows, Shen Yi pointed to a dilapidated village not far away and said, "This is Shilin Village."

Looking down from a high place, it can be seen that Shilin Village is located between two mountains. The mountain wall rises like a knife. The village is built on the mountain wall. There are many natural stone pillars, such as bamboo shoots and bamboos, which are called stone forests.

Due to the attack of wolves, the villagers who were still alive had already moved to the Yaozong camp. They lost their popularity here, and most of the houses collapsed. The strange rotten smell attracts many birds that eat corpses.

Yi Qingchen held his nose, thankful that he had taken the anti-drug elixir before coming, otherwise his skin would have turned green from the miasma.Shen Yi pulled Yi Qingchen's clothes, pointed to one of the ruins and said, "My lord, look at that."

Yi Qingchen took a closer look, and there seemed to be something moving there. After a long time, he realized that it turned out to be a corpse that was pecked by crows and rolled all over the ground. Because of the silence in the forest, the miserable sound of his calls It became more and more clear that the cry for help that did not resemble a human being was more like the low growl of a wounded beast.

Shen Yi saw the confusion on Yi Qingchen's face, and explained the scene in front of him, "The corpses infected by wolves are not very aggressive during the day, and usually stay in the house where they lived , but recently the houses have fallen into disrepair, and when the crows fly by, they will peck their flesh. It seems that although they are dead, they still seem to be aware of pain? Or is it just pure instinct? But son, don't look at them now Poor thing, it's really scary at night, if you want to go inside to investigate, then pick the right moment, we must rush back to the camp before dusk."

Yi Qingchen observed the scene inside, then asked Shen Yi, "Have you ever drawn a map of this village?" Shen Yi took out a square piece of paper from his sleeve and spread it out. The topography of the area, the village in the center of the picture is specially marked with a Chinese ink pen, and even the hidden fork roads in the village are not spared.

Yi Qingchen silently memorized the map in his head, pointed to the depths of the village on the map and asked, "How deep do you go at most?" Shen Yi recalled, "I have entered the innermost part like Ruying, and there is a dead end. Only the Earth Temple, which is built on the back of the mountain, is a hundred times more humid than the outside, just like being soaked in water every day."

Yi Qingchen looked at the map again, pinched his chin and thought, "Then do you know where the wolves come from?"

Shen Yi was guided by Yi Qingchen, and she gradually had a train of thought, but she still couldn't figure it out, "Where the wolves came from is still unclear, but the first person to spot the wolves was the Orion in the village. Hunting in the nearby forest, I didn’t get much that day, and I didn’t want to go home until it was dark, so I spent the night in the forest, but at dusk, I heard a strange sound near the campfire. I knew it was a wild animal, so I lit the campfire even more. , but the pack of wolves refused to retreat, and some tried to throw sand to extinguish the bonfire. The hunter felt scared, so he raised a torch and ran towards the village."

"I don't know why the wolves didn't catch up at the time. According to the Orion, the wolves just stayed where they were and watched him run away. He didn't understand it at the time. Thinking about it later, maybe they let him go back to inform him about his majesty." As Shen Yi spoke, she remembered another thing, "Master, do you still remember the old man who gave you money when you came out?"

Seeing Yi Qingchen nodded, he said again, "The real accidents in the village started when his family lost their grandson."

"The people in this village usually get up before dawn in order to collect herbs early. Before sunrise, the herb-collecting team saw the child playing with a ball at the gate of the village. They asked the child why he was playing here. Said that there was a little sister playing with him, but none of the villagers saw the little girl at all, so the child said that the little sister was shy and hid first."

"They think that the children's eyes saw something very unclean. Their herb pickers are very superstitious. Most of the people who go up the mountain are wild animals and natural disasters. They are most taboo about such unclean things. Even if they don't bother, they go straight to the mountain. I went there, but when I came back in the evening, I heard that the child had disappeared."

The more Shen Yi talked, the more she was in the scene, and in the end even she became scared, holding her arms with her hands, pretending to be a little afraid of the cold, "Later, the family searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so I had to find it. Being able to be a child was carried away by a pack of wolves, and Nomura in the mountains is not the first to lose a child, except for the family who lost the child, no one took it seriously."

"As a result, in the early morning of the next day, when the herb pickers went out, they heard the sound of children singing nursery rhymes while clapping a ball. Although they were startled, they were full of yang and were not afraid of little ghosts, so they pretended they hadn't heard it. , As a result, as soon as they went up the mountain, they encountered wolves. Two people in the team were killed by the wolves on the spot. In the end, only one person escaped back to the village with a broken arm. That is, this person became The first corpse and the source of infection for the village."

"At around midnight, the man's corpse poisoned and bit his sleeping wife and children together. Starting from them, more and more people were bitten, and most of the village was not spared. He lived far away from that house."

After asking the basic information over and over, Yi Qingchen got a little bit of a bottom line in his mind. It is not yet noon, but the sun is already fierce, leaving them plenty of time to investigate.Yi Qingchen discussed with Shen Yi for a while, and decided to go for a stroll in the village first.
