Plague, life-threatening
Linghu Nuanwei, who was currently painting the "Picture of Strange Beasts of Mountains and Seas," noticed that it was Yi Xiaoxiao and said as if it was nothing new: "You wouldn't come to me for no reason! Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
The tip of the wolf-hair brush was suspended above the statue of the farming god, and the dripping cinnabar just dyed the rice paper red, like a ferocious face.
"Miss is indeed born smart. This medicine is called Yigui. I wonder if you know it." Yi Xiaoxiao handed the bottle of medicine to Linghu Nuanwei and said.
The black mist within the bottle clashed against the bottle's walls, condensing into the outline of the Son of Zhuanxu. Linghu Nuanwei's fingertips traced the seal characters on the bottle's surface, and the dark patterns suddenly lit up with a faint light. "I've only seen the Plague Ghost in that book. I never thought it really existed!"
According to legend, the plague ghost originated from the wandering plague-spreading Zhongshan god "Gengfu" or was transformed into a plague ghost by the three sons of Emperor Zhuanxu. Those infected with this plague will experience sudden chills as if falling into an icy cave, black blood will flow from the mouth and nose, and blue spots will appear on the skin.
"Miss Linghu is so smart, she should know what to do."
"I know! You go and deal with those disciples, and leave the other monks in the city to me!"
Yi Xiaoxiao smiled evilly and jumped out the window. Linghu Nuanwei looked at the bottle in her hand and thought for a moment before secretly leaving Linghu Mansion.
Yi Xiaoxiao came to a quiet forest, and the man in black in front of her slowly took off his cloak, revealing his delicate and familiar face.
“How is this being done?”
"Everything is going according to plan! But there is one thing I don't understand. Where did this epidemic come from?" Yi Xiaoxiao raised her question.
"Oh! Of course it was given by the Master. If the Master were not still sealed, there would be nothing in this world that the Master could not obtain! By the way, why haven't you obtained that magic weapon yet?"
"I'm already doing my best."
"Hmph! My Lord doesn't have that much patience to wait!" After saying that, the man in black put on his cloak and left.
There was a knock on Linghu Luoxi's door. When he opened it, it turned out to be the girl. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
The girl didn't mince words, "No! Aren't you jealous when you see me with him?"
Linghu Luoxi was confused. "Ah? Jealous? Jealous of whom? Why? Jealous of my brother?"
"What else? Don't you care at all?" The girl laughed angrily.
Linghu Luoxi was even more confused, "Aren't you and my senior brother in love?"
The girl found it a little funny. "I'm his biological sister—Lin Muyan! I just want to make you jealous so that I can promote your relationship!"
Linghu Luoxi didn't know what expression to use, "...I believe what you said about him and my other brothers, but...I really don't believe this! And why does it have to be me?"
"Because you saved my life, I should repay you with my body! Among the herbs you gave my brother, there happens to be one that can save my mother!" Lin Muyan explained.
Linghu Luoxi suddenly felt a headache, "Stop, stop, stop! Who told you that you have to repay someone for saving your life?"
"It's in the storybook! But the storybook says that the man saved the woman and the woman married the man! But my sister helped my brother, so my brother wants..." Lin Muyan answered obediently.
Seeing Lin Muyan's silly look, Linghu Luoxi held his forehead and sighed, interrupting, "Stop, stop, stop! Don't believe everything in the storybook. Besides, a woman doesn't have to marry him. There are other ways. A woman can also be independent instead of just taking care of the husband and children!"
Lin Muyan nodded, and Linghu Luoxi took out a bag of spiritual herbs. "Give this to your brother to make medicine! Okay, I need to rest now, you can go out first!"
Lin Muyan nodded obediently and walked out of the room with the mustard seed bag. Linghu Luoxi breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Muyan suddenly poked her head out and blinked her left eye, "Thank you...sister-in-law!"
After saying that, he ran away like the wind. Linghu Luoxi's right eye twitched wildly. Suddenly, he heard Shangguan Yi's voice from the next room, sighing with ill intent, "Tsk tsk tsk!"
Chi An and Yin Yin shared a room so that it would be easier for them to protect Yin Yin. Just as Chi An and Yin Yin were about to rest, there was a knock on the door, and Yin Yin opened it.
Nangong He was holding a bowl of mung bean soup, looking a little nervous, but then he calmly said, "Um... do you want some mung bean soup?"
Yinyin was stunned for a moment, then understood instantly. She tried hard to suppress the auntie smile on her face and turned around to shout, "Senior Sister! Someone misses you!"
Nangong He's face flushed red at this shout, Chi An nodded lightly, and Yin Yin immediately invited Nangong He in. Nangong He put the mung bean soup on the table and looked at Chi An nervously.
Seeing that Nangong He didn't leave immediately, Yinyin immediately said tactfully, "Um... I'm going to go out and look for Mu Can first! You guys chat slowly!"
The next day, everyone got up and packed up, preparing to return to the sect. Lin Muyan went back. Linghu Luoxi glanced at Shangguan Yi's swollen lips, and couldn't suppress the tears. She wanted to ask Shangguan Yi from the bottom of her heart: Who are you dating?
Wu Yuan followed Shangguan Yi, seemingly in a very happy mood. As soon as they returned to the sect, they found that the leaders of each sect had been waiting for them for a long time.
Jiang Yeqing was the first to ask, "Master, why are you here?"
"Early this morning, we discovered that most people in the city had contracted a strange disease!" Fan You said with a serious expression.
"What's wrong? Are you crazy?" Linghu Luoxi joked.
The air fell into a brief silence. Qin Ling, the leader of the Tongjian Sect, could not help but frown. "This is a serious matter. This is not something to be taken lightly!"
"What are the symptoms of this disease?" Chi An asked the key question.
Yunxue was about to start introducing them when Qiu Mucan, Xie Cihuai, and the others suddenly froze, coughing violently, shivering, and falling backward. Everyone was startled and tried to catch their disciples who were about to fall.
"Don't touch them!" Sect Master Fan You's whisk swept over the people who wanted to help him. "Look at their fingertips!"
The blue spots were spreading under Xie Cihuai's skin at a speed visible to the naked eye, penetrating into his meridians like a living thing.
Seeing this, everyone stood one meter away from the fallen disciple. Shangguan Yi didn't care at first, but when he turned around, he saw Wu Yuan also lying on the ground. He cried out in surprise, "Wu Yuan! Wu Yuan! Wake up!"
Blue spots also spread to Wuyuan's fingertips. Shangguan Yi hurriedly turned back and asked, "What is the antidote?"
The elders shook their heads. "We don't have any clues yet, but the sick relatives should go back and recuperate first. Those who are not infected with the plague should pay attention and find an antidote first, and then investigate this matter!"
"Yes!" The relatives and friends asked the remaining few people to settle the sick people.
"Why are they in trouble but you are fine? What did you and them do last night?" Yun Xue asked.
Linghu Luoxi and the others shook their heads. Nangong Wanqing suddenly thought of something, "Oh! That's right! I don't know what they did, but they are the ones who are most looking for sleep!"
"It seems that someone did it on purpose. Who did it?" Lu Heng frowned.
Linghu Luoxi fell into deep thought: "I remember there seemed to be this plot in the original novel. This plot seemed to help the hero and heroine gain fame and fame, and their solution seemed to be...
Shangguan Yi saw that Linghu Luoxi seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked, "'Luo', have you come up with a solution? Xiao Yuanyuan has been coughing up blood. Will he be okay?"
"He should be fine! Come on! Follow me to the Wanjin Tower first!"
After that, Linghu Luoxi led everyone to the Wanjin Pagoda without stopping. The Wanjin Pagoda was built with giant bluestone walls, topped with rammed earth and wooden structures, forming an enclosed storehouse, similar to an underground palace. It was a single- or double-story square hall with no windows, only a narrow stone door, and multiple stone gates at the doorway.
Just as Linghu Luoxi was about to enter, the tower guard held out his hand to stop them, not allowing anyone to enter. Linghu Luoxi said impatiently, "I am the eldest daughter of the Linghu family! I am here to borrow books in the name of the Linghu family!"
"So you are a young lady from the Linghu family. Please come in! But you can only go alone."
"No! If anything happens to Luo, can you afford it?"
"Okay, it's okay, just leave it to me." Linghu Luoxi waved at everyone and said with a smile.
Linghu Luoxi walked in without thinking. When he thought of Yun Suiqi and others, Linghu Luoxi couldn't help but quicken his pace and prayed silently in his heart: You must hold on, nothing must happen to you.
Shangguan Yi and the others kept wandering around, thinking that the situation was already chaotic enough, but then they received news that the demon army was coming to attack, and had already reached the sect.
"It's over, it's over, this is really going to be a mess! One thing hasn't been resolved yet, another one arises! Are we going to be able to survive?" Shangguan Yi kept pacing around, frowning.
Chi An yelled at Shangguan Yi, "Stop spinning! It's giving me a headache!" Then he muttered to himself, "I don't know why we, as villains, should care whether they live or die! Never mind. At worst, I won't save them next time. It's so annoying!"
Time passed by minute by minute. When everyone was really impatient and wanted to force their way in, Linghu Luoxi finally came out. Chi An and the other two immediately surrounded her. Linghu Luoxi handed the book with the antidote to Chi An.
"If you are hurt, please tell us!"
"Okay, okay, I'm fine!"
Everyone looked left and right, and only when they saw that Linghu Luoxi was normal did they finally let go of their worries. However, no one noticed that her left hand, which was behind her back, was dripping with black blood, and the demonic energy in the wound was wriggling around it like a thin snake.
"'Luo', what should we do? The demons are coming again! I am so fed up that they come at the most chaotic time!" Shangguan Yi complained.
Hearing this, Linghu Luoxi felt like the sky was falling, "Damn it! They keep going on like this day in and day out, are they going to let me live anymore?"
But they couldn't mess around at this critical moment. Linghu Luoxi then ordered, "We have to split up! One group will refine the antidote, one group will take care of the patient, one group will fight the demons, and one group will take care of the monks in the city."
Yinyin immediately raised her hand and said, "Sister Su Mianmian and I can make medicine together. Although she is only an instrument cultivator, she can help us."
"Just leave the group of disciples to me, Xuan Xuan and Mo Lingui!" Shen Chuwei said, putting away the folding fan in his hand.
Nangong Wanqing, Yan Hui and others went to the city together, Chi An and Nangong Heqian went to look for herbs, and Linghu Luoxi and the rest of the people went to fight against the demons.
"What herbs do we need to pick?" asked Nangong He.
Chi An opened the book and took a look. The next second, his pupils shrank slightly. "Why are herbs..."
