Chapter 16

Flying wild geese alone in the deserted city, I don’t know the cold in the dark.

The air is filled with a corrosive smell, like the dying breath of a dying person, full of despair and sorrow.

In the village in front of me, except for a few old crows occasionally flying by, there are no signs of any living things.

Bai Yunshen handed Yu Tianqing a pill, "Miss Yu, this is the Qingling Pill, take it."

The fragrance of the medicine was so strong that Yu Tianqing convinced her to swallow it.When the elixir is taken in, it instantly turns into nectar, refreshing the heart and spleen.

"Qingling Pill has the effect of detoxifying and detoxifying. The virus is overflowing here. Let's take it in advance, just in case."

Yu Tianqing nodded, "It's still your thoughtfulness."

Bai Yun smiled deeply, "Master Dao entrusted you to me, I dare not be inconsiderate."

Yu Tianqing joked, "So, when I go back, I must thank the head of the house."

Bai Yunshen's eyes dimmed, "Of course I have to thank you. If it wasn't for his entrustment, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to take care of my beautiful woman."

Although the tone was slightly frivolous, the hotness in his eyes was undisguised.

Yu Tianqing has always been devoted to Taoism, and it is difficult for her to resist such ambiguous emotions.He had no choice but to change the subject hastily, "It's getting late, let's investigate the matter of Jinlin first."

When they heard Yiqingjue talking about the python, they connected it with the golden-scaled snake. This time, in a difficult situation, in addition to investigating the source of the disease, they also wanted to investigate whether it was related to the golden-scaled snake.

With a clear goal, the two went straight to Xifengdu.

The scorching sun could not illuminate the dark lake.Facing the long wind, I can't blow away the mist in front of me.

Xifengdu is clearly another black water pool.

Yu Tianqing and Bai Yunshen looked at each other, if they didn't know that the Golden Scaled Snake was still sealed, they would almost think that the Golden Scaled Snake had already appeared.

Near the water's edge, there is no vegetation, and the river water has long been black and thick.

"Be careful, don't get too close." Bai Yunshen grabbed Yu Tianqing's arm and brought her to his side, for fear of sudden danger.

"Look, there is a fire over there." Yu Tianqing said suddenly when he saw the dancing flames not far away.

The two immediately walked towards the place of the fire.

The smog is thick, and the eyes are full of hazy colors.It wasn't until they were 50 meters away that they realized that the Land of Fire was surrounded by many people, and among them was a huge fire.

There is no vegetation here, and there are no traces of people. Unexpectedly, such a scene will appear again.

Yu Tianqing walked forward involuntarily.About 30 meters closer, her calm face suddenly paled in horror.

She looked at the place where the fire was, her eyes were full of surprise.

Even Bai Yunshen, who was always calm, had trembling eyes.

Among the huge flames, there were piles of corpses like mountains.Layer upon layer, I don't know the number.The flames soared into the sky, and it was like a giant incineration site.

The people around the corpse were probably his family and relatives, praying and seeing him off around the fire.Their faces were expressionless, their skin was pale and swollen, and their eyes were full of death, like corpses lying in the fire.A group of walking dead burned the lying corpses, as if the next fire was about to burn themselves.

Eerie atmosphere, creepy.

Yu Tianqing felt uneasy.However, it was too late.

I don't know who saw them first, and then several pairs of eyes cast their eyes, ten pairs, a hundred pairs..., there was no trace of surprise in the eyes reflecting their figures, but they all walked towards them.

"Go!" Bai Yun shouted in a low voice.

The two turned around and did not take a few steps, only to see many people coming from nowhere.They formed a circle and gradually surrounded them.

Yu Tianqing and Bai Yunshen didn't dare to delay, so they ran away with vigor, wanting to get out quickly before being completely surrounded.However, when they moved, so did the group.The originally stumbling steps turned out to be unexpectedly sharp when facing the two of them, especially the madness in his eyes, which was bone-chillingly cold.

The two dodged left and right, and for some reason, they were approached by a corner.

Backed by a huge mountain boulder, there is no way out.

Bai Yunshen yelled, "Dragon Yin!"

In an instant, the long sword flew up, the sword's aura was flying, and the power of the sword wiped out all the people in front of him.

"Don't hurt them." Yu Tianqing shouted.

The villagers were afraid of the might of the sword, so they all stopped and hesitated.However, more and more people gathered here.With ferocious expressions and scarlet eyes, they surrounded Yu Tianqing and Bai Yunshen heavily.

Yu Tianqing thought of the scene of the fire just now, and in their eyes, she and Bai Yunshen were probably just corpses on the fire.

"Folks..." Yu Tianqing tried to communicate with them, "We are here to help you."

The crowd seemed to be turning a deaf ear.

Yu Tianqing continued, "Please trust us. We are here to investigate the root cause of the disease. If we can find the root cause, we may be able to find a cure."

There was still silence, there were hundreds of people present, but no one paid any attention to them.Even the air was filled with silence, the silent depression almost made Yu Tianqing unable to breathe.

"You are the 180th..." An old voice suddenly popped out.

Among the crowd, a middle-aged man stepped out. Under the cloak, he had a face like a skeleton, and his two sunken eyes flickered like will-o'-the-wisps in the nether world.

"What?" Yu Tianqing was puzzled.

The middle-aged man continued in a voice that didn't match his age, "The 180th person who said that..."

Bai Yun said coldly, "What about the previous 170 nine?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the calm crowd with his calm gaze, and he chuckled, his laughter was eerily strange, "It seems that they all went to sacrifice to the God of Vulcan."

Yu Tianqing's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but took two steps back.

With a pair of warm hands holding her slightly cold palm, Bai Yun said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Bai Yunshen said loudly, "Don't you all want to be cured?"

The middle-aged man laughed muffled, the laughter stuck in his throat, as if it was worth a thousand dollars.

"This sentence is also the 180th time I've heard it..." The middle-aged man opened his cloudy eyes and said, "Do you know what it feels like every time you hear it?"

Yu Tianqing and Bai Yunshen were both silent.

The middle-aged man obviously didn't intend to listen to their answers, he said quietly, "Why do we have to wait to be cured, but you can say such things so confidently?"

"……what?"

"Isn't it a sense of superiority not to be infected?" His eyes suddenly became agitated. "We are obviously the same. You are also human, and I am also human. Why are infected and uninfected?"

Seeing his confusion, Bai Yunshen couldn't help raising his voice, "Be sober."

"Hahaha..." The man seemed to have heard some great joke, and laughed even more intensely.

A violent cough followed, but he didn't seem to care, the more he coughed, the more he laughed.The voice sank deep in the throat, rumbling, as if dragged out of hell.
