frivolous

Just like what Jian Suyu said, the waiter in the shop was only the first case, because many people in the city turned gray hair in the blink of an eye and died in a short while.

In the dusk of the moon, I eagerly visited a few families where the incident happened, and checked it several times, but I couldn't see why.As soon as he returned to the inn, he headed into the backyard to fiddle with his medicinal materials, chanting words, and even called Xie Yan several times without recovering.

"He's taken it seriously." Liu Gudeng hugged Xie Yan's shoulders with a smile on his face, turned around and pushed him towards the lobby, "Brother, don't make trouble for him. How about we Go for a drink or two?"

Xie Yan pushed him pretending to be disgusted, and said seriously: "Do you think these people died strangely?"

"What's strange? Isn't it an evil door?" Liu Gu touched his forehead in fear, looked in the direction of the lobby, and lowered his voice, "It stands to reason that Yuan Qing disappeared, and all this shouldn't have happened... In fact, your brother's It's not unreasonable to be suspicious - don't stare at me like that, although my cultivation is not as good as Jian Suyu's, I can still hear a few words."

Xie Yan gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that the next time he whispered to Jian Suyu, he would definitely seal Liu Gudeng's five senses. "I believe in Pu Xinjiu, he is not that kind of person."

In Yuanqing's short life, he was tied to this city until his death.If he was Pu Xinjiu, he would rather leave the city earlier and leave this sad place, rather than stay here any longer.To have anything to do with the people in the city would be worse than killing him.The only point was that all the people in the city had died, which was exactly what Pu Xinjiu wanted—it was just this point, and it shouldn't be a reason for him to be suspected.Looking at Pu Xinjiu sitting in the inn these days, staring at a certain place in a daze, he never asked whether the people in the city were dead or alive, he seemed to be indifferent.

Dazed for a moment, Liu Gudeng subconsciously held the handle of the knife at his waist, which was a small movement that occasionally appeared when he was uneasy.He hesitated and said: "His identity - I can't say anything. I think the people in the city died quite peacefully. Xie Yan, don't you think this is also very strange?"

Xie Yan blinked, recalling that the waiter's face did not show any pain, and his complexion was terrifyingly calm.

It's so weird.

As if infected, since Xiaoer Dian died strangely for the first time, more and more people in the city died in the same way one after another.At these times, the man is usually the backbone of the family. After his death, the families are torn apart.Many relatives who couldn't accept such a blow just knelt in front of Jian Suyu, crying together, ignoring the cold aura of others, just begging the man who looked like a banished fairy in front of them to save their family members.

"Fairy, don't go!"

"Save my father!"

Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature.

Slowly breaking away the fingers that were tightly clutching the corner of her clothes, she pulled out her hand, Jian Suyu didn't say anything, but whispered "Congratulations."

Furui Wubo's words seemed to be a ruthless sentence, and the woman covered in black wept heartbroken.The little face of the four or five-year-old child who was being held in his arms was full of tears, which made people unbearable to look at it a second time.

The two pale lanterns at the door fluttered against the dark wind, and the candle flames fluttered uncomfortably in the wind.There was a lot of crying behind, Jian Suyu, who was carrying the night training, stepped out of the threshold, looked up at the gray sky, remembered that Xie Yan used to always pester him, but these days seemed to be a lot more peaceful, presumably because of The spooky things in this town are busy.It's a pity that he came out this time, apart from saving the dead, he didn't seem to have any new discoveries, but why are these people who died all young men...

"Daughter! What's wrong with you, daughter?" The woman suddenly cried out in pain, shaking her child's shoulder vigorously, her voice sounded like crazy, "My daughter! Wake up!"

Jian Suyu immediately turned around when she heard the words, only to see that the child who was still crying in her mother's arms just now, like those men before, had gray hair at a speed visible to the naked eye, and died instantly - this is just an ignorant child. children only.

The target of this evil disease has changed from men to children...

On the other side, Yue Dusk was already spinning around in a hurry.He devoted himself to research for several days, but not only did not make any progress, but also a new situation appeared in the city.

There are always unacceptable people who think that their loved ones are not dead yet, and they refuse to let the corpses be buried in the ground, and even put the corpses in the courtyard and wait for them, the immortals, to come back to life.One or two days was fine, but after a long time, the person who touched the corpse fell down.

"It's an epidemic." Yue Dusk frowned and snorted, "These people really——will give me problems."

There was once an epidemic in Yecheng. Xie Yan vaguely remembered that the epidemic spread very quickly. As long as he was close to a sick person, he would have a headache, fever, cough, and finally died. "Gu Deng, senior brother, let's visit the houses of those who have funeral affairs in the city, and advise them to bury their bodies as soon as possible—if possible, burn the bodies directly, otherwise this attack may kill everyone."

"Be careful, both of you." Yue Dusk warned, "Although the monk's body is stronger than ordinary people, but this whole thing is weird from beginning to end, it's better to proceed with caution."

Liu Gudeng nodded with deep sympathy: "If you don't have any clue about the symptoms of transient whiteheads, why don't you first prepare the medicine powder to relieve the disease?"

"There are priorities, I still understand this truth." Yue Dusk blamed him and gave him a blank look.

The three of them left the inn with their swords on their backs, and seeing the two people beside them lowering their heads absent-mindedly, Liu Gudeng suddenly patted Xie Yan's shoulder vigorously, pointed in a direction, and said loudly: "I'll go in that direction, You two can do whatever you want—you can do whatever you want." After finishing speaking, he quickly winked at Xie Yan, and ran away with a smile.

There was no one on the street, and there were even a few white silks floating in front of a few houses - someone must have gone to the house.

The two walked along the street in silence.

The word "epidemic" fell into the ears of the people in the city, as if a boulder smashed the originally calm pool of water.There was no need for them to speak more, someone immediately retreated with tears in their eyes, and asked them to burn the corpse directly.

There are a few stubborn people who don't want their relatives' bodies to disappear so lightly, and they have to think about the survivors, crying their relatives' names with tears in their eyes, and quietly watching the corpses being cremated.

"Brother, although the whole thing is evil, I always feel that their birth, old age, sickness and death are considered normal reincarnation. It is wrong for them to pray for longevity by unscrupulous means." Xie Yan lowered his head, said suddenly, and patted his forehead, Qi Dao, "It's strange—why do I think their death like this is a normal death?"

Jian Suyu, who was walking in front, stopped suddenly when she heard his words.

Xie Yan was careless and almost bumped into it. He stopped his chaotic steps in time and followed Jian Suyu's line of sight.In the afternoon sun, on the dead silent street, a person in a deep purple robe of the sea of ​​clouds in the sky is standing motionless, like a tall and tall green bamboo on the Lingshan Mountain.

A family not far away was going through funeral affairs, and there were intermittent cries and mourning sounds coming from inside.Pu Xinjiu was facing a long-abandoned house, standing at the gate of the house, squinting and staring at the gate of others.Several white silks of different lengths hung down from above the main entrance, casting shadows on Pu Xinjiu's side face, making it difficult for others to see his expression clearly.

"He is—" Looking at the solemn Jian Suyu, Xie Yan hadn't finished speaking when the person in front of him moved.

Pu Xinjiu suddenly reached out and rubbed his eyes, then slowly squatted down, randomly picked up a white silk ribbon on the ground, and tied it on the door handle of this family's door in an orderly manner.He still remembered patting the dust on the silk belt that he didn't know when.

There was obviously nothing wrong with his actions, but Xie Yan was terrified when he saw it.

If I remember correctly, before Yuanqing was about to be executed, all the people in the city tied red ribbons in front of their houses.His actions...

"Thank you for the banquet? Senior Brother Jian?" Pu Xinjiu suddenly looked up and saw them, with obvious choking in his voice, he turned his head and blinked violently as if to cover up.

"What are you doing here?" Xie Yan suppressed the uncertainty in his heart and asked relaxedly.

Pu Xinjiu turned around, turned his back to them, and said in a hoarse voice, "Just wander around the city—"

"Big Brother!" Suddenly, a little boy came out of the gate, tears were still on his face, but his big curious eyes were still open, looking at the three handsome men in front of him.

Looking at them embarrassedly, Pu Xinjiu scratched his head and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

The boy who was less than thigh high shyly moved to his lap, and whispered: "Mother said you saved me, and also helped hang up the white lantern that fell down on my house, let me invite you to have a cup of hot tea inside. "

"Thank you for your kindness." Pu Xinjiu lowered his head and stroked his soft hair, "Big brother is going back with his seniors."

"Then can I still see you..." Hearing this, the little boy lowered his head and grabbed the corner of his clothes, as if a little sad, his voice was soft and sticky.

"Where in the world do we not meet." The doubts in his heart had long been thrown out of the sky, Xie Yan couldn't help but also smiled, and walked up to poke the little boy's chubby face—so cute, "Boy, you If you miss him, when you are a few years older, go to Tiandu Yunhai in Qingjing Mountain to find him. Remember, it is Tiandu Yunhai."

"Okay! That's settled!" The child's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he covered his face excitedly, and said overjoyed, "I will go to Tiandu Yunhai to find my big brother when I grow up!"

On the way back, Xie Yan was like a chirping sparrow, very happy: "Let me tell you, kids at this age are so much fun. Their faces are chubby, and if you poke them, there will be a hole. There will be dimples... Tsk tsk, I should poke a few more just now."

Pu Xinjiu took two steps away from him in disgust: "You don't even spare children."

"How do you know?" Jian Suyu turned her head and looked at him strangely.

"I poked out the dimple on Yueshi's face." First Young Master Xie replied naturally.
