The night breeze blew past the cliff, bringing with it a light fragrance of grass.
Wu Zheng stood behind Ye Qingtang silently. His narrowed eyes reflected the small figure standing under the moonlight.
She was so frail and petite, and it seemed that she would fall into a bottomless abyss with just a slight touch.
Wu Zheng raised his hand slowly and suddenly reached for Ye Qingtang's back. Just as his fingertips touched Ye Qingtang's clothes, he suddenly clenched his fingers and pulled Ye Qingtang's clothes back!
"Lord Ye, the wind is strong at night. It's too dangerous here." Wu Zheng immediately retracted his hand after pulling Ye Qingtang back a few steps. He lowered his eyes and took a step back.
Ye Qingtang looked at the handsome young man in front of her, and a look of surprise flashed across her eyes. However, she quickly regained her composure and smiled. "Thank you. I saw a broken stone tablet at the bottom of the cliff just now. Is someone buried there?" Ye Qingtang asked.
Wu Zheng's eyes trembled slightly. When he raised his head, his eyes had already returned to normal.
"My foster father once said that the reason why this Spirit Condensation Mountain Village is named Spirit Condensation Mountain is because of the abundant spirit energy here and the flourishing of all living things. Legend has it that a few thousand years ago, there was a demon that caused trouble here and was killed by a powerful figure. Its corpse was buried in this Spirit Condensation Mountain, and the spirit of all living things was used to suppress its soul so that it would never be able to reincarnate. The tablet was left behind by the powerful figures who killed the demon thousands of years ago. However, it is already very broken now, and I can't see what exactly was written on it. "
"Demon caused trouble …" Ye Qingtang lowered her eyes and glanced at the broken tablet at the bottom of the cliff.
Although most of the words on the tablet had been wiped away by the wind and frost, she could vaguely see a picture that looked like a beast on the broken part. However, it was very broken, and she could not tell what kind of beast it was.
"It's getting late. Lord Ye, let's go back first …" Wu Zheng suddenly said.
Ye Qingtang smiled and did not say much. She only nodded slightly and left the cliff with Wu Zheng.
After Ye Qingtang and Wu Zheng left the cliff, a pair of eerie eyes suddenly opened in the darkness of a hidden cave on the cliff …
Wu Zheng left after sending her back to the loft. When she reached the second floor, she bumped into the Apothecary who was walking down.
The Apothecary looked at Ye Qingtang and immediately lowered his head respectfully.
"Lord Ye."
Ye Qingtang glanced at the basin of water in the Apothecary's hands and smiled. "I'll have to trouble you to take care of my senior brothers and sisters."
"Not at all. Everyone is infected with the blood plague because of my Spirit Condensation Mountain Village. It is only right for us to do so. How would I dare to say that it is troublesome? You are flattering me, Lord Ye." The Apothecary replied humbly.
Ye Qingtang smiled. She glanced at the Apothecary's hands that were holding the basin of water, and a smile suddenly appeared in her eyes. She did not say anything else and directly turned to walk up.
The Medicine Master carried the basin of water downstairs and poured the water at the door. He looked at the empty attic in the blink of an eye and then walked out. The hunchbacked figure slowly shuttled along the main road and directly entered an inconspicuous small house.
In the house, Wu Zheng was sitting at the table with an expressionless face. He lowered his eyes and seemed to be deep in thought. When he heard the door open, he raised his head slightly and took a look at the Apothecary before lowering his head again.
In the room, the Apothecary was wiping his hands with his back facing Wu Zheng. At that moment, the room was unusually quiet.
