I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

Chapter 212 Sleepyhead

"That's not right, Senior Brother. We just arrived at Sangui Town this morning, and we immediately got a strange sleepiness?"

Infection always has a process and there are always some symptoms. It doesn't make sense for the disease to occur suddenly.

Therefore, although some valuables were not missing, Jing Jie still insisted that this was a shady shop and that the three people had been drugged and knocked unconscious.

“It’s not a knockout drug.”

The little girl quickly denied Jing Jie's inference: "The knockout drug can't knock Tangtang out."

Then, she denied Jing'er's claim that she was sick: "Tangtang gets sick every month, but that's not actually a disease. After successfully upgrading, Tangtang will not get sick or become ill."

Jing Jie and Jing Er were both surprised to hear this. They knew that the little girl was a powerful practitioner, but they didn't expect that she had already been promoted.

But the way to upgrade is a bit special. You will be immune to all poisons and diseases. And if you go further, you will be immune to all curses, right?

"Someone must have used magic to plot against us!"

Jing Jie looked at his senior brother, who immediately used his earth-earing ability.

After a long while, Jing Er said helplessly: "I haven't heard of any conspiracy against us, but I know what the name 'Sangui Town' means."

After narcolepsy spread throughout the town, people in the town would fall asleep without any warning every few days.

This greatly affects daily life and sometimes even leads to very dangerous situations.

With doctors at their wits' end, many people have considered moving away from the town.

But once you leave the small town, narcolepsy will become significantly worse.

It started with dozing off without warning every few days, then progressed to dozing off once every two days, once a day, and even once every half a day.

Those who left had no choice but to come back. Some of them were unwilling to move away again, but in the end they had to return to this town obediently.

'Three Returns to the Town' means that after returning to the town for the third time, people usually stop making trouble and choose to stay in the town forever.

.......

"Don't worry about whether we will return to the Three Realms or not, we are leaving now!"

Jing Jie said decisively: "We should all be on high alert this time to see who is playing tricks."

Jing'er and Tangtang both nodded, and the little girl even held the bowl in her hand, ready to freeze the bad guy at any time.

"If you fall asleep once, you will eventually return to this town."

When the three of them came, the innkeeper did not warn them. He only said such words in a mysterious way when they were about to leave. His expression was really abominable.

Jing Er rolled his eyes and without saying a word, he used his earth-earing ability.

The big, long ears rolled towards the innkeeper, scaring the hell out of him.

"Oh my, my ears have become a spirit, my ears have become a spirit!"

"Humph"

Jing Er decided to quit while he was ahead, slapped the accommodation money on the table, and led his junior brother and Tangtang out of the inn refreshed.

There was nothing unusual on the first day out of Sangui Town.

But by the next morning, Jing'er fell asleep without any warning.

He faintly heard the little girl yelling something, "There are bugs?" Then she fell into a deep sleep.

"Senior Brother Jing Er, Senior Brother Jing Er."

Well!

Jing Er suddenly opened his eyes, looked at his junior brother who was sleeping soundly beside him, then looked at Tang Tang, and immediately asked, "Did you freeze the enemy?"

"Tangtang was busy with the bugs in front and didn't pay attention to the ones behind. She fell asleep and woke up again."

"What kind of insect?" Jing Er asked carefully.

"It's a translucent little bug. Tangtang has seen it in town before, but didn't pay much attention to it at the time."

The little girl yawned and said, "When bugs fly into my ears, nose, and mouth, I feel very sleepy."

.........

Thanks to Tangtang, Jingjie and Jinger finally realized that the people who plotted against them were a group of small flying insects, or sleepyheads.

"The bowl of immobilization doesn't work against insects, you have to use a torch."

The well warning indicates that insects are afraid of fire, so if everyone holds two torches in their hands, they should be able to protect themselves.

Jing Er and Tang Tang thought this was right, but in practice...

"Huluhulu x2"

"Huh, huh-"

No one except Tangtang can see the sleepy bug, and this bug is actually not afraid of fire.

"How about hanging a tent to prevent the sleepyhead from flying in?" Jing Er thought of another idea.

Jinger and Tangtang thought this method was feasible, but in practice...

"Huluhulu x2"

"Huh, huh-"

The three of them couldn't hide in the tent all their lives, and the sleepyheads were very patient, so hanging up the tent was not a good idea.

"Tangtang, I heard there's a kind of mosquito repellent grass, and mosquitoes hate its smell."

The sleepyhead is not a mosquito, but now that things have come to this, I can only try.

"Huluhulu x2"

"Huh, huh-"

There was no other choice, the three of them had to return to Sangui Town.

"Tangtang, look where the most sleepyheads are in this town?" Jing Jie ate the last of the roasted pumpkin, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Once I find out who is behind this, I'm going to beat him up!"

"Sleepyheads are everywhere. There is no place where they are more numerous."

The little girl looked at Jing Jie with some concern: "The roasted pumpkin has been eaten up, can we eat normal food now?"

After blinking at Tangtang several times, Jingjie deliberately said, "No, I still can't eat a single bite of ordinary food. Brother, what should I do now!"

"I advise you not to be greedy for weird things because I'm afraid you'll end up in trouble in the future. But if you have no choice, would I watch you starve to death?"

Jing Er said unhappily, "Also, are your eyes dry? Why did you keep blinking at Tangtang just now?"

.......

Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find out the culprit behind this!

Jing Jie and Jing Er had already made up their minds, but what was completely unexpected was that the next day, when the little girl was eating tofu pudding on the street, she accidentally discovered the creator of the sleepyhead.

"Tangtang, you are not mistaken, are you? He is the mastermind behind this?"

Jing Jie and Jing Er looked at the lazy man who was sleeping soundly on the street wrapped in a mat from afar, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Yeah, I read that right."

"When that uncle snores, sleepiness flies out of his nose."

This is really strange. Originally, Jing Jie and Jing Er thought that some practitioners had driven the insects to attack them.

But, how could there be a mastermind who is so poor that he has to wrap himself in a mat and sleep on the street!

Besides, they were easily discovered.

"I'll go meet him"

Just standing there and watching was no solution, so Jing Er decided to take the initiative.

After walking around the street and buying some peanuts and wine, he sat down next to the lazy man and started eating with relish.

Tangtang hid in the dark and watched the sleepyheads. She found that they circled around Jing'er and then flew away. They had no intention of getting into his ears.

Kaba Kaba——

The noisy chewing sounds did not disturb the man at all. He slept soundly until it was getting dark, then he opened his eyes with a look of comfort.

"Hmm? You look unfamiliar, maybe from another place." The lazy man glanced at Jing'er who was already wearing a wig and asked casually.

Chapter 213 Seeing through the mortal world

"Haha, I'm passing by Sangui Town and I'm stopping by your side to rest. Please don't blame me."

Jing put a handful of peanuts in the lazy man's hand and started chatting with him from time to time.

At first the lazy guy was a little indifferent, but Jing'er was such a good talker and had a lot of gossip, he was simply the best chat companion!

Soon, the lazy man went from chatting with Jing Er while lying down to chatting with Jing Er while sitting down, and finally the two of them chatted with their arms around each other's shoulders.

"Brother, don't look at me as someone who has fallen on hard times now. My Yuan family used to be very wealthy." Yuan Youcai said in a nostalgic tone.

After chatting for such a long time, Jing Er was basically certain that the man next to him knew nothing about the sleepyhead.

But this would actually be troublesome, because the whole thing cannot be solved by simply beating up the mastermind behind it.

"Why are you so miserable? I see you're feeling quite comfortable now." Jing Er replied with a smile.

"Haha, brother, you understand me!" The slight sigh on Yuan Youcai's face disappeared, and he said with a tone of seeing through the world: "People are busy in this world, just to have a roof over their heads and rice and flour to fill their stomachs. I lie down under the tiles now, and I am not worried even if it rains. My nephews and nieces also send me rice and flour. I am really happy!"

I'm quite open-minded.

Jing Er calmly asked about the Yuan family, and it turned out to be a common decline in their fortunes, with nothing particularly wrong.

"Brother, it's nice to talk to you today, but you should leave quickly."

Yuan Youcai talked about the sleeping sickness and advised Jing Er to leave Sangui Town as soon as possible before he got sick.

"Too good to hear such a thing happen...thank you for telling me. By the way, brother Yuan, do you want to come with me? I think this town is very strange."

Yuan Youcai was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I am not afraid of falling asleep. I would rather say that the more people who fall asleep around me, the better."

..................

A young man hurried over to bring food to Yuan Youcai, and Jing Er took the opportunity to say goodbye.

"Brother, what have you discovered?" Jing Jie asked impatiently after the three of them met up.

"That person's name is Yuan Youcai. He is not a cultivator and he doesn't know about the existence of the sleepy bug."

Jing Er said thoughtfully: "But the current situation in Sangui Town should be something he is happy to see."

"Why?" the little girl asked puzzled.

"If a person sleeps all day, he will be called a lazy person. But if everyone around him dozes off from time to time, then he will become normal."

“Brother, what you mean is that although Yuan Youcai was unaware of it, his subconscious desire created the sleepiness bug, causing narcolepsy to spread in Sangui Town?” Jing Jie was extremely surprised. After all, Yuan Youcai was just an ordinary person, and it was really outrageous that he could do such a thing.

"Maybe it was Sleepyhead who chose him," Jing Er shrugged.

Jing Jie didn’t care whether it was Yuan Youcai who created the sleepyhead or the sleepyhead who chose Yuan Youcai.

He just wanted to get this matter over with quickly, then find Xiaobai and give it a hot bath.

"Brother, you should talk to him more these days." Jing Jie said thoughtfully, "Try to let him sleep less, and let Tangtang see if the number of sleepyheads will decrease."

"Yeah, good idea!"

The next day, when Jing Er woke up the sleeping Yuan Youcai with a braised pig's head, he was both surprised and astonished.

"Brother, why haven't you left yet?"

"I've been infected. I can't leave. I'll come and chat with you again today."

With Jing'er chatting with him, Yuan Youcai couldn't sleep anymore and looked full of energy.

According to Tangtang's observation, the chatting method is effective, but the effect is not obvious.

On the contrary...

"His nephew saw you guys eating and drinking from afar yesterday, so he didn't come over to deliver food. You became a lot less sleepy that day."

................

Since Yuan Youcai’s nephew is the key, we should find a way to keep him from coming.
