42 The filth in the back(1/2)
Mu Chi's body unconsciously hid behind Nan Fengqian, and this subconsciousness made Nan Fengqian speechless. Now this guy knows that he is a woman, or is he so scared that he crawls behind her?
"This Yuyang Town is so scary." Mu Chi muttered in Nan Fengqian's ear in a low voice. Nan Fengqian was a little helpless, but there was indeed a little strange around here.
There was no one in the huge town at night, so the elders guarding the door must have been waiting for them, but guarding the town.
There was no one in the street at midnight, and there were elders guarding the town at the entrance of the town. There were no lights on the streets, only one or two street lights illuminated. Other houses were dark, without a single light. Indeed, it was very strange.
"It's this inn. Lord Alchemist please wait." The old man nodded respectfully, then turned around and knocked on the closed door.
"Dongdong, dundong, dundong"
Two long and one short.
Then footsteps came from the room, and after a while, the door creaked open. The waiter was stunned when he saw so many people standing at the door.
"These are all alchemists, please take them into the inn." The old man gave a rough introduction and then took the lead in the inn.
The light then slowly illuminates.
The room was indeed prepared early in the morning, very clean and elegantly decorated. Almost a whole inn was included for them to stay.
The hot meals were delivered to everyone's rooms in a short while, and Nan Fengqian looked at Mu Chi's lips, which were obviously cramped.
"You go to bed. I have a place." Nan Feng spread his hands, and she had space anyway, and it was the same.
The next morning, the sun shone, as if it was full of stars. Noise came from outside the inn from time to time. Muchi was woken up. When he woke up, he saw Nanfengqian standing beside the bed and looking at the bottom.
He was stunned and quickly checked his clothes before he stood up with confidence. "What are you looking at? You are so focused?"
"The morning market is very lively." His clear and bone-bone voice was calm and calm, and his eyes were staring at the morning market below. The couple selling local shoes and local specialties smiled happily, and the pedestrians walking on the road also had a great time talking.
It’s just that there are one or two people who are frowning occasionally, but it doesn’t affect most of the city appearance.
Such a street seems to be a normal town, and the scene last night was lonely and strange. If it weren't for the real sleeping all night, it would be difficult for the person to believe that this is the same place.
"The difference is too big? This town is not weird, right?" Mu Chi was stunned when he saw it.
"Go down and take a look." As he stepped on, Nan Fengqian and the others went down the stairs.
On the first floor, Chu Li was already eating with people, and most of the people in the Dandao Pavilion were already downstairs. Seeing Nan Fengqian and the others coming down, someone spoke with a sore voice: "Yeah, is this freshman. Sleep so good?"
"Yes, my seniors got up early in the morning, and the freshman slept until midnight, which was really ironic." There were obviously more than one sour person.
Nan Fengqian looked at Chu Li with a hint of interest. It seemed that Chu Li called people one by one early in the morning, but they just missed them.
"The eldest brother told you all the senior brothers to get up early in the morning? The eldest brother doesn't have to care for Feng Qian in the future. Since Feng Qian has entered the Dandao Pavilion, he is the one from the Dandao Pavilion. You can do everything according to the rules. Feng Qian can do it." Nan Fengqian said "simplely" at this moment, and his eyes were tightly looking at Chu Li.
Chu Li's hand holding the teacup suddenly tightened, and a cold look flashed through his eyes. At this moment, the senior brothers didn't dare to say anything again. Nan Fengqian's meaning was so obvious, and Chu Li was just taking care of him. Is it something that the two of them had?
I think so, Xia Qiu has caused trouble for him as soon as he came. Nan Fengqian's assessment was decided by Chu Li. If there is really anything between the two, it is probably not easy to offend.
At this moment, Chu Li, who was bound by force, smiled softly. "Feng Qian is a newborn, everyone should have taken care of." This sentence resolved Nan Fengqian's so-called bondage, but it was obviously not sufficient.
After dinner, the old man came to the inn last night. Five or six elders followed him, wearing uniform clothes. "I have met all the alchemists." As soon as he came, a big gift was fulfilled. "Sir Alchemist, this is our town lord." The old man pointed to an old man in front of him. The old man looked only in his fifties, but his beard was white, just like an 80-year-old.
"Please ask for it. I wonder if the lord of the town will take us to see the children in this town first?" Chu Li helped the old man up like a gentleman.
Nan Fengqian's eyes flashed. Is this the town owner? Nan Fengqian went to see several other old men. The eyes shrank. These people were only in their thirties and forties! But everyone was like an old man in his seventies or eighties! What exactly did it cause them to age so much?
"Please ask the alchemist." The town master responded and led the way forward. He just walked into a family casually. As soon as he walked in, he heard the sound of a child crying in the room. It had not stopped. The woman was wearing a long floral dress and knitted small clothes outside the left outer room, as if she had become accustomed to it. "Cuihua, Dazhu has set up a stall again? Come on, take out the small one of your house."
The woman named Cuihua smiled dimly and went into the house. After a while, a cry of a child came out.
Na Cuihua held a child in her arms, and the child was blocked in the cotton coat and could not see clearly until the child was placed in front of everyone.
Nan Fengqian's eyes flashed suddenly! Child, how could he be a child? His facial features, hands and feet were almost unconscious at this moment, and he was crying constantly. He could feel that he was in pain. Cuihua, who was holding him, was already red and swollen at this moment.
"Oh my God!"
Mu Chi murmured in a low voice.
After seeing the children and walking out of the room, I could feel that everyone's heart was silent. At this moment, there were one or two children playing on the street.
Some of their hands are only three or four fingers, while others are one or two, while most of the children are pushed to play with other children in wheelchairs.
However, they still smiled, laughed flamboyantly, and smiled particularly cheerfully in the face of the sunshine. This is the love of life. At this moment, there was dark light in Nanfeng Qian's eyes.
"He really has a hard life." Mu Chi stared at the children playing, his eyes unconsciously locked.
Faced with such a thing, even Chu Li frowned and could not think of a solution for a moment. The pills they refine were all healing, detoxifying, and enhancing spiritual power. Some of them relieve pain and regeneration, but they just couldn't directly solve everything in these children.
"Isn't there a temple? Have you ever asked?" Someone murmured, looking at these symptoms that were obviously not inferior to any poisoning.
"Who knows. Let's go and see the others."
Some people left the team in groups, walked into the crowd, observing every defective child, watching their symptoms. Nan Fengqian and Mu Chi also left alone.
"Why are most of the disabilities of each person different? This will deny the reason for the dissemination." Mu Chi frowned. Along the way, most of the children they saw were unable to speak or walk. Many of them had ears, or were born with problems inside.
Nan Fengqian's eyes flashed through dark lights. At this time, a small bamboo ball mentioned to Nan Fengqian's side. The two children seemed to be afraid of strangers and did not dare to get close. They just stood there and looked at Nan Fengqian with fear in their pupils.
Nan Feng curled his lips and tried his best to look approachable and sunny. He picked up the ball on the ground and walked towards the two children.
"No, your ball." Nan Fengqian handed the ball to one of the children, rubbed their hair with his hands, and looked at their pulse while giving the ball.
weak.
Nan Fengqian only got this one result.
At midnight, the market became empty again. Nan Fengqian rented another inn alone, so someone who could save would be jealous if he knew it.
"Qianmei, what's the reason for them?" Nan Fengqian was puzzled by the child she saw today. The child's fingers were missing, and it looked a bit deformed.
But the child was actually very sunny. She picked up the ball for them, so the child happily played with her. Soon he started playing with him and Muchi with his two children.
However, when it was just getting dark, they ran home in panic, and their parents carried their children back, closed the stall and turned off the lights.
There seemed to be only the inn in the whole street with a light on, waiting for the outsiders to enter. Even the inn owner went back. Only a waiter and a chef were left in the store.
"I have never seen such a case." Qian Mei was also stumped by a thing. "Why, give them elixirs and try it? See if those missing can be found again?"
Nan Fengqian frowned, but did not answer. Treating the symptoms but not the root cause. If the reason cannot be found, even if one or two children can be saved, what will happen?
In this way, three days passed in a row. Chu Li and Xia Qiu brought out a total of 35 people, and there was no progress at all. Everyone divided them into several batches and went to Yuyang Town to check them in all directions, and found that there were really many such children.
Occasionally, there will be one or two normal children, and everyone in the family will happily run to nearby towns or go to the temple in Yuhua District, Nanzhou to worship for a week.
"Shenzhen? Muchi, where is the closest temple to this place?" When Nan Fengqian heard the name of the temple again, a gleam of light flashed through his eyes.
"I heard that it is in the nearby Dongpo Town. It is quite prosperous and is also the most prosperous town in Nanzhou except Yuhua District. In fact, there are temples in Yuhua District, but the nearest one is still from Dongpo Town." Muchidao.
"Let's go, let's go to this temple today." The cold and bone-permeating voice was a hint of impatientness.
Dongpo Town—
The bustling streets are full of flowers, and there is no noisy environment, but they give people a high-end feeling. Once you enter Nanfengqian, you will know where the temple is located.
Because, it is indeed very prominent.
The temple is made of white jade porcelain, noble and elegant, with milky white light all over it. It is like a god bringing grace to the world. The Buddha's light shines everywhere. The southern wind can see the location of the temple at a glance.
Entering the temple again, Nan Fengqian still saw the mysterious rune inside the temple, in the same position and in the same rune.
Staring at the rune, Nan Fengqian wanted to empti his thoughts and see them again but could no longer do it. At this moment, most of the people in the temple were praying for what they wanted. Occasionally, someone looked at the rune after seeing it.
Nan Fengqian's actions attracted the attention of people around him. "I wonder why the two young men came here?" The man in a pure white robe, wearing a half-gold mask, stood in front of Nan Fengqian.
White robe and gold mask. People in the temple.
"I naturally have something I want to accomplish when I come to the temple." Nan Fengqian's eyes flashed through his eyes and looked at the temple messenger who suddenly appeared in front of him. His tone was calm.
"Oh? Since you have something you want to complete, why don't you kneel down and pray?"
"The messenger of God, I have a question below to ask the messenger. I wonder if the messenger can answer the questions below?" Nan Fengqian said in an unreasonable way.
"May I ask." The messenger was so kind that he didn't put on airs.
"Who is the closest Yuyang Town, has someone come here to pray recently?" Nan Fengqian stared at the messenger.
"Never."
"That's disturbing. Goodbye." Nan Fengqian nodded and turned around and left. Mu Chi, who was in the fog, hurriedly followed.
"Feng Qian, what did you mean by asking him just now?" Mu Chi, who was chasing him, really felt that his brain was not enough.
Nan Fengqian curled his lips slightly. "It's not interesting. He just remembered it and asked a few casual questions. Go back."
Nothing interesting? I asked a few casual questions? That was the messenger of the temple. I finally met him, so I asked a few casual questions. Well, Feng Qian's brain circuit. He couldn't keep up.
When it was almost dark, Nan Fengqian and the others returned to Yuyang Town. Recently, many people have started feeding elixirs to the children, and their physical condition has improved a lot, but the reason is still not found.
There were no night lights on the dark road. I used to it, but I didn’t think it was so weird here. Suddenly, a figure flashed through Nan Fengqian’s eyes.
The next moment, Nan Fengqian chased after him! In the blink of an eye, the Muchi could not find Nan Fengqian.
At this moment, Nan Fengqian's eyes were staring at the ancestral hall in front of him who was putting his child in Yuyang Town. At this moment, the ancestral hall was brightly lit and surrounded by many old men.
In their hands, they held the child that the man took, and placed it on the altar in the center. Below were the churning flames. Nan Fengqian's eyes shrank and he suddenly knew what they wanted to do!
That child is here to pay tribute! He is still the only child who is born intact!
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" The child's crying had weakened, as if he could no longer cry.
"Master, can you?" The woman was already crying and panting, lying in her husband's arms, looking at the child reluctantly. That was her child! How could she bear it?
