Chapter 8 Smallpox
A whole day passed, and Huang Yilan did not appear again. At night, there were no villagers guarding the cliff intersection, but there were still people guarding the entrance to the village. The village was more heavily guarded, and people with dogs could be seen walking back and forth from time to time.
Maybe the villagers have realized that Huang Yilan is unreliable and have put him under house arrest. In such an incredible place, anything terrible can happen. If the villagers find out that Huang Yilan has leaked the secret, they may sacrifice him alive or burn him to death.
, I feel restless when I think about this.
Ling Fengpiao, Ouyang Zhenfei and Yuangui all said they would rush into the village to save people, but I didn't agree. Maybe things weren't that bad yet. Maybe Huang Yilan was just being stared at and couldn't come out. I should give him some time.
.The unknown thing in the village temple is quite powerful. Xiaoxue and I are 90% no match for it. I don’t want to enter the village again unless I have to. And I promised Huang Yilan not to harm the villagers actively. If I rush in, it will inevitably cause damage, wouldn’t I?
Self-destructive promise?
We waited anxiously all night, and the next day I lurked on the cliff behind the village and waited for another day. Huang Yilan still didn't show up, and the villagers were still very defensive. But things turned around soon after dark, and the clouds gradually dispersed.
, a full moon rose from the east, and the villagers who were guarding outside the village and patrolling in the village hurriedly went into their houses.
I felt refreshed. Huang Yilan said that every time there is moonlight on a full moon night, the villagers will hide in their houses and not come out. Today is September 14th, which is considered a full moon. A full moon is a period from decline to prosperity.
In the gradual process from prosperity to decline, the moon is complete on the 14th night, the 15th night is the limit of perfection, and it is also the beginning of incompleteness. The 16th night has begun to decline, so the strongest lunar essence is only this one.
Three days.
Most demon cultivation needs to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, so they are very sensitive to the full moon. In addition, the earth's magnetic field, gravity, tidal changes, etc. cause many supernatural events to occur on the night of the full moon. I believe that the villagers are hiding in the house and not coming out.
Because they dare not be exposed to the moonlight, then assuming there is an evil spirit in the temple and it is controlling the village, then it must be afraid of the moonlight. The night of the full moon is when it is at its weakest!
I can't wait any longer, tonight is the best time for me to take action!
Originally, I was worried that Ling Fengpiao, a troublemaker, would make a noise and want to go together, but I didn't expect that he, Ouyang Zhenfei, and Yuan Gui all consciously stayed behind. When we parted, they repeatedly told me to be careful and to go early and come back early. Look.
My tireless education has not been in vain. The two of them finally started to become sensible. I am very relieved!
I walked quickly all the way to the entrance of the village. I used the invisibility charm to enter the invisible state and walked inside. Xiaoxue tried her best to restrain her demonic aura so as not to disturb the things in the temple.
When I walked to the first yard, I couldn't help but stop and thought of the old man who smoked dry cigarettes. If he really lived for hundreds of years and was complained by his family day after day and year after year, how long would he live?
What do you mean? This family lives in poverty, but refuses to accept pesticides, chemical fertilizers and high-quality seedlings. Can living like this be considered happiness? I listened quietly for a while. The topics were different from last time, but there were still all kinds of complaints and dissatisfaction.
To be content with the status quo, these words may have been repeated countless times, so they appear hollow and insensitive.
When I walked to the second house, I heard the young man trapped in love still sighing. I began to sympathize with him. I have been secretly in love with someone for hundreds of years. He is greater than a god. Is his life miserable or happy?
The cry of a little girl came from the third house, and the young mother was coaxing her... I am also a person who lost my parents when I was young, and I know the pain of not having a father. There is also the young mother who cannot raise her with her.
The older child had endured pain and longing for countless days and lied to her. It would be better for her to die, but how could she leave her child behind?
I suddenly thought of my mother, and my eyes became moist...
When I walked further and turned towards Huang Yilan's home, I saw a small temple from a distance. Calling it a temple is a bit of a compliment. In fact, it was a hole cut out of the stone slope and a shed built outside.
A half-circle of low walls was built with stones. It looks very simple, but it may be due to the long history or the presence of immortals, and it looks like it has a mysterious atmosphere.
I resisted the urge to go over and take a look. I walked towards Huang Yilan's house and climbed into his yard. I pushed the door gently and bolted it from the inside. I could sense the two houses in the east and west.
There was one person on each side, so he walked to the side where Huang Yilan lived and gently opened the window twice.
Huang Yilan quickly walked to the window and gently opened the window, but she couldn't see the invisible me. I whispered: "It's me, Zhang Xuanming, are you okay?"
Huang Yilan was startled, and said nervously in a low voice: "It's okay, it's okay, but they won't let me go out. You hurry up, if someone finds out..."
Before Huang Yilan finished speaking, I felt the same powerful aura fluctuations as last time. The light suddenly brightened, and the already bright moonlight became even brighter. I was startled and hurriedly took two steps back and looked up.
, the moon is still a real moon, but it is much brighter than before, making it look unreal and somewhat unstable.
Xiaoxue was also a little nervous, but this time she didn't tell me to run away, but the dogs in the village started barking, people were noisy, and the whole village became commotion.
Xiaoxue didn't use her demonic power this time, so how could she alarm the things in the temple again? I was really curious, and my invisibility effect was still there, so I didn't leave in a hurry, but was on high alert and waited to see what would happen.
Huang Yilan ran out. He didn't see me and thought I was gone. He hurriedly ran out of the yard. Then his mother also walked out. She was the same as the person Xiaoxue showed me the day before yesterday. She was in her mid-twenties and was quite good-looking.
A young woman. But the next moment she appeared in the moonlight, her face immediately changed. Her eye sockets were sunken and black, and there were many protruding pustules the size of soybeans on her face. They were densely packed and festering in many places. It was shocking and disgusting.
To the extreme, her body exudes the aura of decay and death.
I was so shocked that I couldn't help but make no sound, but Xiaoxue screamed in my mind: "Oh my God, this is a terrible smallpox that can infect people!"
I was so scared that I took a few steps back. I had heard about smallpox. It is said that the number of people who died from smallpox in the first half of this century reached 300-500 million, far exceeding the number of deaths from wars and other plagues. But after the 1980s, it has completely
Control, the whole world is gone, so I have never seen it, and now it is in front of me!
The young woman's face suddenly returned to its normal appearance, and she was a little hesitant to go out. In the short period of time she hesitated, her face suddenly became normal, and sometimes looked like a corpse that died of illness. It changed two or three times. This change
Even more creepy!
At this time, many calls came from the direction of the village entrance: "Catch them!" "Quickly stop them and beat them to death!"
Ling Fengpiao's voice: "**, this is..."
Ouyang Zhenfei's voice: "How disgusting!"
Compass' voice: "Amitabha!"
I was shocked and angry. No wonder they didn't clamor to come just now. It turned out that they had agreed to follow me secretly. It was they who alerted the things in the small temple! But now is not the time to blame them. Saving people is more important. I
Run towards the village entrance as fast as possible.
The villagers all came out of their houses, holding machetes, hoes, brooms, etc., surrounded Compass and others, and began to attack tentatively. All these villagers had smallpox, and their faces suddenly became normal under the moonlight, and sometimes their faces were festering.
The pus was flowing out, it was disgusting and terrifying, only Compass remained calm, while Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei had already gone weak.
"Stop!" I yelled and rushed over, canceling the invisibility state. If they hurt my friends and junior fellow students, I would take action even if they agreed to Yi Lan.
Huang Yilan ran slower than me and arrived at about this time, shouting: "Stop, if you have something to say, don't hit anyone!"
The villagers did not attack Companion and the others again, they even made way to let me in, and then surrounded me as well.
Surrounded by so many scary people, even though my nerves were already strong, I was still sweating. Ouyang Zhenfei was the worst. She was already bent over and pressing her stomach and vomiting. It was not only the people who were scary, but also them.
disease, maybe we have been infected!
Huang Yilan had never seen the villagers like this before, and was very shocked, but she still ran close to the crowd and shouted: "Folks, please listen to me, they don't mean any harm, don't do anything, we can discuss anything..."
"They know about our affairs, we can't let them leave!" said a rather ferocious-looking man, who was the one who broke Compass's head the day before yesterday.
"Yes, we can't let them leave!" Many people immediately agreed, waving their weapons with murderous intent.
I believe that these villagers are kind in nature, but in order to keep their biggest secret, they may definitely kill people. With Huang Yilan's prestige, he usually can't control them. How can he control them now? The only solution is to use force!
"Get out!" I yelled, and rushed towards the people in the direction of the village entrance. I bullied a villager with lightning speed, grabbed his stick and swung him hard, sending him crashing into the people next to him.
I grabbed the stick and swung it around, knocking down several of them in the blink of an eye. These villagers had no foundation in martial arts, and they were far inferior to me in terms of speed, explosive power, and skills. They were vulnerable to me. I still had my heart set on it.
Mercy grabbed a stick, not a machete, and did not attack their fatal parts when he took action.
Xiaoxue used spells at the same time to confuse several villagers on the left, right and behind, causing them to attack their own people and create chaos. Before Compass and Ouyang Zhenfei could react, Ling Fengpiao, who was experienced in fighting in the small world, held a hand with one
Follow me.
I easily broke out of the encirclement, but I was surprised to find that the road out of the village had disappeared. There were houses all around, and further away there was a white light, and I couldn't see the distance. The effect was similar to that of heavy fog.
Chapter completed!
