Although he had grown up quite a bit and his temperament was very different from before, Shen Qingqiu would never mistake this face that could be chosen from any angle as the male lead on the cover of a romance novel!
Shen Qingqiu was puzzled. "If it wasn't done by someone, could it be that it didn't have any?"
The drenched youth rushed up and said angrily, "I told you not to enter the city! What's the use of coming in? There were so many people who said they wanted to save the plague before, the big monk, the ox nose, the flower palace, but none of them could get out! You're courting death! "
The man landed on the eaves of a nearby building. The two met face to face, and Shen Qingqiu blurted out, "Gongyi Xiao?"
Hearing this, Yang Yixuan abandoned Shen Qingqiu and ran. Shen Qingqiu was overjoyed at finding trouble for Qiu Qingge. He walked a few steps and turned the corner. Seeing the scene in front of him, he stopped.
Mu Qingfang shook his head. "This doesn't seem like a plague, but more like …" He looked at them. "I need to see more patients before I can make a conclusion."
Mu Qingfang said warmly, "Little brother, we came for this …"
Shen Qingqiu: "This is Jinlan City's plague?"
【Hello. The system has been successfully activated.】
The three of them came out of the underground river, and the illegal boat floated back into the darkness. The exit was in the most barren shallow swamp in the city. There was no one there. The three of them walked towards the center of the city for a while. Suddenly, someone chased after them.
Wu Chen said, "That's exactly what I meant. This old monk feels very sorry for causing you to be trapped here. "
Shen Qingqiu came out of the cellar and saw the blacksmith's son angrily walking back with a long knife. He asked with a smile, "Young master, what's wrong?"
The tables and chairs in the hall were overturned. It was a mess. Shen Qingqiu glanced at Gongyi Xiao. "Split up and investigate. Look at the private room on the left. I'll take the right. "
【Hibernation mode deactivated. Standard mode activated.】
Under the quilt, there was only a pair of thighs. Below the knees, there was nothing. Where there should have been a calf, it was all gone.
This hand was really full of misfortunes. It was the hand that had been pierced full of holes by Elder Tian Chui. Now it was also the hand that was infected and had started to grow red spots!
It turned out that the young man's ambush in the dark was for their sake. Shen Qingqiu said, "Then we're all here. What do you think we should do?"
Qiu Qingge saw Shen Qingqiu sizing up the youth and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Can I get a refund?
The city was lifeless, and the doors of every household were tightly shut. There were also many homeless people who couldn't find a place to go and gathered on the streets. In the past, the streets were crowded with people coming and going. They didn't dare to show their faces in public. But now that it was empty, they didn't have to worry about anything. They set up a big iron pot and piled firewood under it to boil water. A few people were plucking the feathers of chickens that they had stolen from god knows where. All of them were wrapped in impenetrable black cloth. They were not surprised to see Shen Qingqiu, who had a completely different style from them. They looked at him as if they were looking at a dead man. After all, in the past few days, they had seen many majestic cultivators who had entered the city to save them. Would it work? He would die even faster than them!
As they entered the main city, the number of pedestrians gradually increased. But this "more" was only relative to the emptiness just now. There were at most three or four figures on the street, and they were all covered from head to toe in black cloth. They were in a hurry, like frightened birds or fish that had escaped the net.
As he said this, he lifted the quilt on his lower body. Shen Qingqiu stiffened.
Wu Chen only sighed. "This old monk is ashamed. We've wasted many days entering the city, and we still don't know what to do about this plague. We don't know where the source of the disease is or how it's spread. We don't even know if it's contagious. "
The three of them had no objections. They were all unfamiliar with Jinlan City. It was best to have someone to guide them and not take detours. Shen Qingqiu lowered his head and asked, "Little brother, what's your name?"
Something was wrong.
The two of them held their breaths and stepped over the threshold.
Shen Qingqiu broke into a run and chased after them. Although this old lady's appearance was indeed suspicious, he couldn't be blamed for not immediately noticing anything unusual. Right now, everyone in Jinlan City was covered in black cloth and walking with their tails between their legs!
The youth saw that they couldn't leave and said angrily, "Don't you understand human language? Get out of here! Otherwise I won't be polite! "Before he finished speaking, a spear stabbed at him. It was quite frightening. Qiu Qingge sneered and pulled out the bamboo oar from the wall. With a flick of the pole, the youth flew into the water. Shen Qingqiu heard the youth flopping in the water, still spitting and cursing, and asked, "Are we going to fish?"
Shen Qingqiu said, "I'd like to ask you, who's also here."
Sure enough, five or six floating corpses floated in from the front. They were all white bones wrapped in black cloth, exactly the same as the first one.
Unexpectedly, Wu Chen nodded. "It's this pair of legs that doesn't have them."
Shen Qingqiu was surprised. Gongyi Xiao was the most favored disciple of the old Huan Hua Palace Master. Before Luo Binghe appeared, he was generally accepted as the next leader. The old Palace Master's only daughter was also in love with him. As long as the disciples had any problems, he had to lead them. Besides Luo Binghe, who could beat him with the male lead halo, who else could steal his position?
The youth immediately withdrew his sword, more surprised than happy. "Elder Shen?"
At the same time, a dust-covered familiar voice, accompanied by the rigid tone of Google Translate, exploded in his mind like a barrage of bullets:
Wait a minute, what the hell, you really updated?!
Wu Chen said, "That's right. At the beginning of the disease, a small area of red spots will first appear. In three to five days, in half a month, the red spots will expand and rot. In another month, the ulceration will reach the bone. It must be wrapped in black cloth and rarely seen, only then can the outbreak be delayed. "
Qiu Qingge said, "What's the source of the disease? How is it contagious? "
Shen Qingqiu suddenly sat up straight.
This plague had disrupted the rhythm of life in the entire city. This kind of spontaneously organized big pot of rice could actually save lives.
Where his thigh was originally, it had all ulcerated, the skin necrotic, and rotten flesh overflowed. After the black cloth was loosened, the stench wafted.
Qiu Qingge said, "What are you fishing for? Let's go into the city. "
Although it was only two words, Shen Qingqiu instantly felt like he was struck by lightning when he heard this voice. The folding fan in his hand made a cracking sound.
The two of them flew up the stairs. Shen Qingqiu rushed ahead, still on the stairs. Suddenly, a young man's gentle voice came over. "No problem."
F * ck, this speed isn't any worse than a hundred-meter sprint, right?! And 'old lady'! I really was blind just now!
He suddenly turned his head. That "old lady" from just now was nowhere to be seen among the crowd of people scrambling for hot vegetable soup.
Deep in the darkness ahead, there was a rush of breathing. The light at the bow of the boat faintly illuminated a person's silhouette. He only heard a youth's voice say, "Who are you people? What are you trying to do sneaking around in the underground river? "
Qiu Qingge hooked the floating corpse with the boat's pole and flipped it over. It was actually another set of bones. Because its entire body, including its head, was wrapped in black cloth and its face was submerged in the water, he hadn't noticed it just now.
Shen Qingqiu asked, "Mu-shidi, do you know what kind of plague in this world can turn a person's entire body into bones in an instant?"
I just finished saying "the water is so clear" and you floated over a floating corpse. Can you not slap my face so hard!
Yang Yixuan ignored him. Shen Qingqiu said again, "I'll tell you, go find that older brother who knocked you into the water today. He's very powerful. You fight with him a few more times, it'll be more useful than learning from anyone else. "
Shen Qingqiu seemed to understand. "Look at that weapon shop owner's son. He's been taking care of Great Master Wu Chen for so long, but he's not wrapped in black cloth. It's clear that his skin is intact and very healthy. If this really is a plague, but Great Master Wu Chen didn't infect him, isn't it strange? "
Wu Chen smiled bitterly. "What Master Shen asked is actually the same question."
Qiu Qingge snorted. "With just you? Who can you stop? "
Mu Qingfang said blankly, "What do you mean?"
It was just a set of bones, wearing a complicated flowery robe, with a head full of pearls and jade, lying in a very serene posture. It was probably a woman in the building who knew that her time of death had come. She dressed up, put on her best clothes, and went to sleep to meet her death. Even in death, they had to use their most beautiful posture. It was probably a woman's nature. Shen Qingqiu sighed for a second and left the room, still closing the door.
The cook knocked on the iron pot. "The soup is ready! It's coming, it's coming! "
He reckoned that the Huan Hua Palace had sent more reinforcements (tou). Shen Qingqiu saw that his face was puffed up like a bun and wanted to tease him. "Little brother, I see that your kung fu is pretty good. Is there someone to teach you?"
In a split second, even breathing seemed to stop.
With this distraction, Shen Qingqiu's steps slowed a step. He also sensed that someone was coming at him with sword qi. He opened his folding fan, ready to send out a wind blade at any time. He shouted, "Who is it?!"
Great Master, you call this "feeling a little uncomfortable"?!
His leg above the knee was still wrapped in black cloth. Wu Chen stretched out his hand, trying to untie it with difficulty. Mu Qingfang hurriedly helped. Wu Chen said, "This thing may make you feel a little uncomfortable."
He wanted to give way when he saw the situation. In the end, he didn't know if the other party was old and weak or had fainted from hunger, but his feet slanted and he bumped into Shen Qingqiu.
The youth said, "What else can we do? Follow me and don't run around! I'll take you to find the big monk. "
In the middle of the chase, he suddenly felt the back of his hand itch and raised it to look.
Quite a few tramps lying on the side, catching lice, crawled up with a grunt and brought their bowls over.
It couldn't be that weapon shop merchant who risked his life to send a message to Zhao Hua Temple for help, could it?
Gongyi Xiao responded in a loud voice, and the two of them leapt out together.
But there was no time to think about it now. Shen Qingqiu said, "Let's chase together!"
No wonder everyone in the city wrapped themselves like black mummies.
Floating corpses, damn damn damn damn!
Liu Qingge said coldly, "Who did it?"
The stooped figure flashed into a three-story building. Standing outside, one could smell the fragrant powder on the building. It looked like it used to be a brothel or something like that. But now there was no more laughter or singing. Only the door was wide open, and the hall on the first floor was eerie.
Yang Yixuan said angrily, "Someone else has entered the city. That whatever flower guy is the most useless, he's all rushing to die! "
Shen Qingqiu said, "I think this child can take a few moves from you. His temperament is also not bad. Both are very rare. He's a talent that can be molded."
Shen Qingqiu said, "Great Master's original intention was to save people from disaster. Please don't say that." He saw that Mu Qingfang was concentrating on studying the festering area on Wuchen's leg. There was no smell of rot at all. He asked, "Mu-shidi, what did you discover? Can you make a prescription for the treatment? "
Shen Qingqiu helped her up. The old woman said in a muffled voice, "Sorry … sorry … I'm old and muddle-headed …" Saying this, she hurriedly walked past him, probably afraid that the soup would be gone.
Although he was standing on a small, broken boat, his black hair, black clothes, a long sword at his waist, and his movements were calm and composed. He looked quite like an immortal. In addition, Shen Qingqiu had already gained experience in pretending. Assuming his own style, he was still very good at bluffing people. Sure enough, the youth did not expect him to be so pretentious. After staring blankly for a while, he shouted, "You guys go! You're not allowed to enter the city right now! "
The youth puffed out his chest and said, "My name is Yang Yixuan. I'm the son of the city's Golden Weapon Shop."
Shen Qingqiu was deep in thought when suddenly, Liu Qingge stabbed the long paste into the stone wall beside him. The thin and brittle bamboo pole actually pierced straight into the hard and seamless stone. The boat was fixed in place, motionless. Shen Qingqiu also sensed something was wrong. He suddenly stood up. "Who is it?"
The black cloth was unraveled layer by layer. After seeing what was wrapped inside, Shen Qingqiu's breathing paused.
Shen Qingqiu said, "It started a month ago. But why did Mr. Yang, who went to Zhao Hua Temple to report the news, instantly turn into bones?"
[Universal Activation Code: Luo Binghe.]
He used his folding fan to push open the door of the nearest room. He could vaguely see a person lying on the bed. He was nervous at first, then quickly relaxed.
No wonder he couldn't go in or out!
Shen Qingqiu said, "It's me. Why are you here too? " He remembered that Yang Yixuan had just said that Huan Hua Palace people had entered the city through the underground river. It must be Gongyi Xiao's group. He asked, "Huan Hua Palace sent you to bring people into the city to investigate?"
Wuchen shook his head. "No one did it."
Mu Qingfang shook his head. "Never heard of it."
The "Golden Weapon Shop" wasn't small. It occupied four storefronts on the widest main road. When they were connected, they could be used as a single shop. There was also an inner courtyard, an inner hall, and a cellar.
Wuchen's face showed grief. "I'm ashamed. This old monk only found out later that people infected with this disease can live for about a month in Jinlan City. But if they are infected and leave Jinlan City for a certain distance, the outbreak will accelerate. My two juniors rashly left the city to return to the temple and the disease flared up on the spot. "
Shen Qingqiu took two steps and suddenly stopped.
Great Master Wuchen was in the cellar. He was lying on the bed, the quilt covering his lower body. As soon as he saw the Cang Qiong Mountain sect's reinforcements, he chanted, "Amitabha Buddha." Shen Qingqiu said, "Great Master, the situation is critical. Let's not talk about anything else. What kind of plague is prevalent in Jinlan City? Why did Great Master enter the city and not leave? And why is everyone wrapped in black cloth? "
This old lady looked like a candle in the wind, easily blown away, but why did her body feel heavier than a grown man's when she hit him?!
In several rooms, there were the skeletons of women in formal attire. It seemed that this brothel was almost completely wiped out. Shen Qingqiu was about to push open the sixth room when he heard noises and voices from the second floor.
He stiffly got stuck on the stairs, but he could already see the private room at the end of the corridor on the second floor. A group of Huan Hua Palace disciples were clustered around a person in the center.
Speaking of which, it was also this person whose cheap hand had poked open the mysterious book "Proud Immortal Demon Way." I really want to chop off this hand ah ah ah!!!
Gongyi Xiao said, "This junior was indeed ordered to enter the city to investigate, but … I wasn't the one leading."
There was an entrance to a flower alley on the left. Shen Qingqiu chased after it, just in time to see a crooked shadow flash past the end of the alley.
Sailing against the current, one must advance or retreat. After a while, the boat had already retreated a certain distance. Qiu Qingge propped up the pole again. After a moment, he said, "There's more ahead."
He must quickly find out the source of the plague. Shen Qingqiu secretly made up his mind and turned to leave. A person walked over, leaning on a walking stick. Her figure was stooped, and her hands were shaking so much that the bowl almost fell. She seemed to be an old lady.
[Thank you for using it again.]
Qiu Qingge: "It's no use being molded. I don't accept disciples. Troublesome. "
The youth said, "There's a plague in the city. If you don't want to die, then scram!"
[Self-test: Overall energy operation normal, condition good.]
It was a youth dressed in black, carrying a simple and unadorned longsword on his back. His face was like a crown of jade, and his eyes, like two deep pools of cold stars, were indifferently shifting over.
