Yuan Miansha was heartbroken: "My junior uncle is only twenty years old, still a child, he has no idea how terrifying those witches are!"
Why is it that in your world of cultivation there is a saying that men remain children until death
"That's not true." Zhu Changyang couldn't help but complain, "In the mortal realm, how many children do people of this age have?"
Yuan Miansha was choked for a moment, and wanted to say something else, but suddenly he covered his cheek and scratched it, "Ah, it's so itchy, my junior master cast a weird spell on me again..."
The use of the word "again" is very sad.
Zhu Changyang asked with concern: "What should we do? Can you crack it?"
"How can I break the curse of Junior Uncle? He must have done it on purpose to force me to go back." Yuan Miansha stood up with a sad face, "Oh, no, I have to go find Master. If you see the two brothers from Jijin Sect, please let them know for me."
Seeing that his face was getting more and more swollen, Zhu Changyang nodded quickly: "Oh, go ahead."
Yuan Miansha ran away in a hurry. Zhu Changyang looked at the messy tables, chairs, and cups on the ground, and clasped his fists to the boss in embarrassment: "Sorry, I broke your things."
"It's okay." The teahouse owner was used to these things and was very calm. "Just pay the money."
Zhu Changyang took out the spirit stones to compensate for the loss, thought for a moment, and gave the boss two more low-grade spirit stones. He asked, "By the way, boss, has anything new happened here recently?"
"That depends on what you want to hear." The boss took the spirit stone and smiled. He thought about it seriously and said, "Nothing big happened, but there is one strange thing."
Zhu Changyang said "Oh", "What's strange?"
The boss said, "I don't know why Tu Chaofeng from Zhenbei got possessed by an evil spirit a few days ago. It's been more than half a month and he still hasn't recovered. Mrs. Tu has asked all the immortal masters who have come and gone, but no one can help."
At this point, he leaned closer and lowered his voice, "I don't think he will recover. A talisman master who went to see him had tea with me. I heard him say that Tu Chaofeng was not just possessed by an evil spirit, but had lost his soul. Unless his soul can be found, even the immortal master of Changchun Tower cannot save him."
"Lost soul?" Zhu Changyang suddenly became alert, "Did anyone tell me how it was lost?"
"That's not clear." After all, the teahouse owner had only heard it from hearsay and didn't know all the details.
Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu looked at each other and immediately reached a tacit understanding. They asked about the location of Tu Chaofeng's home and rushed there together.
.
Tu Chaofeng was a businessman who had been doing business in the local area for many years. He was wealthy and owned a large house in the north of the town.
Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu quickly found the place, handed in a visiting card, and claimed to be medical practitioners who happened to pass by. They heard that Tu Chaofeng was unwell, so they came to see him.
Under normal circumstances, it would not be easy to gain the trust of the host family with such a sudden visit. But Tu Chaofeng's family was probably desperate, and when they heard that there was a cultivator coming, Tu Chaofeng's wife immediately came out to greet him in person.
Mrs. Butcher looked haggard, with dark circles under her eyes. It seemed that she must have suffered a lot these days.
She forced herself to lead the two men in, explaining the situation to them as they walked.
It turned out that half a month ago, Tu Chaofeng returned from shopping outside the town. He accidentally delayed some time on the way and it was dark when he was still in the mountains outside the town.
Tu Chaofeng probably thought that the journey was not far and he might as well rush back at night, so he did not stop to rest. As a result, he somehow took the wrong road and did not get out of the mountain until dawn.
Zhu Changyang was surprised to hear this and asked, "Tu Chaofeng has been doing business here for many years, how come he got lost?"
"I don't know either." Mrs. Tu coughed twice and said that Tu Chaofeng had a magical weapon on him, and ordinary evil spirits could not do anything to him.
Moreover, he had established relationships with the robbers outside the town, so those people would not rob him, and that was why he had been returning home via the main road for many years.
But that day Tu Chaofeng collapsed in a remote valley and was found by a hunter, who sent him back.
Zhu Changyang thought of the evil energy they saw spreading all over the valley, and became overwhelmed with worry.
When Tu Chaofeng was sent back, he was completely unconscious and talking nonsense.
Mrs. Butcher quickly asked people to take a look, but they all said that it was a case of evil spirits and that no medicine could help.
Mrs. Butcher was at a loss, so she asked all the doctors and sorcerers who passed by the place for help, but to her surprise, all of them were helpless.
Only one talisman master asserted that Tu Chaofeng had lost his soul, and that his soul had no trace at all, so he was in great danger.
This dragged on for more than half a month, and Tu Chaofeng's condition became worse and worse. At first he kept shouting, "There's a ghost, there's a ghost."
In the past two days, his face has turned black and he can't even speak.
As they were talking, the three of them came to the yard in front of Tu Chaofeng's house. It was already dark, and the lights were on in the room. They could see a figure walking back and forth.
Madam Tu wiped away the tears from her eyes and said, "By the way, there is a talisman master in the room right now. He just came to the town two days ago. He is said to be very powerful and can bring back the soul as long as there is still a breath. So I specially asked him to take a look. If you two mind, please wait outside for a while."
"It doesn't matter." Zhu Changyang waved his hand and asked curiously, "What did this talisman master say?"
Madam Tu shook her head sadly and choked up, "The Immortal Master said that there was something wrong with the aura of the headmaster, and he had no choice but to delay it temporarily..."
Zhu Changyang understood what he said and thought that if this talisman master could cure Tu Chaofeng, Madam Tu would not have let them in so easily.
Just as I was about to ask again, a familiar voice suddenly rang out in the room: "Damn it, you're sick!"
Then the door slammed open without wind, and a figure jumped out, shouting, "Madam Tu, why didn't you tell me earlier that Tu Chaofeng has an epidemic?"
Mrs. Tu was stunned: "What disease?"
The man didn't answer her, but stared at Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Zhu Changyang was also a little surprised and raised his eyebrows and said, "So it's you."
The talisman master in front of him was none other than Tan Tai Buqi, with whom he had just fought in the teahouse in the afternoon.
"Are you guys helping Xiao Yuanzi to capture me?" Tan Tai Buqi immediately took out two yellow talismans and held them in front of him to protect himself, looking like he was ready to take action at any time.
"Calm down." Zhu Changyang quickly explained, "We are here to see Tu Chaofeng's situation. It has nothing to do with you."
"Really?" Tan Tai Buqi observed for a while with a suspicious look on his face, and confirmed that they really had no intention of taking action, and there were no people from the Mishan Sect nearby, so he put down the talisman and said, "I'll trust you for now."
Zhu Changyang was amused and didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he asked directly, "What did you say about Tu Chaofeng just now?"
"Ah, I almost forgot!" Tan Tai Buqi turned to Madam Tu, "Madam Tu, Tu Chaofeng has been infected with the plague, did you know?"
"I don't know." Mrs. Tu shook her head blankly, her face showing panic. "How could there be an epidemic?"
"Oh, you don't know, how should I know?" Tan Tai Buqi said as he pasted an anti-epidemic talisman on himself, "Not good, not good, please don't let me get infected."
Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu looked at each other and immediately stepped into the room.
The room was quite large, with a small table placed beside the bed. A few oil lamps were lit on the table, barely illuminating Tu Chaofeng's face.
Tu Chaofeng was a man in his forties, lying on the bed, dying, his eyes closed, and it was visibly that he was breathing in less than out.
Zhu Changyang thought the light was too dim, so he took out two light bulbs from his pocket and hung them on the head of the bed. After turning on the power, the light instantly filled the entire room, illuminating Tu Chaofeng's appearance clearly.
Madam Tu was wiping her tears when she was caught off guard by a flash of light in front of her eyes. She frightened herself so much that she paused:?
"Hey, what's so bright?" Tan Tai Bu Qi was originally far away, but seeing this, he couldn't help but lean his head closer to the room, "Is it a magic weapon?"
Zhu Changyang didn't have time to pay attention to him, but turned to look at Jun Shu in astonishment: "Xiaojun, did you see it?"
Jun Shu nodded and said sternly, "It's Jun Guan Yi."
I saw black spots on Tu Chaofeng's feet and hands.
These black spots were not unfamiliar to Zhu Changyang. He had seen them in Shihu Village about a year ago.
It is exactly the symptom of Junguan epidemic.
When the Junguan epidemic broke out in Shihu Village, fortunately the spiritual rice cooker refined Fu Xuerong into an antidote, which prevented the epidemic from spreading to more places.
But at that time, they only cured the patients and did not find the source of the epidemic.
After so long, Zhu Changyang almost forgot about it. He never thought that this horrible epidemic would appear here again.
Zhu Changyang quickly called Mrs. Butcher to the light and asked her to show her hands and feet for inspection.
Mrs. Tu didn't understand what was going on at first, and was a little embarrassed. But when Zhu Changyang pointed it out, she found a small black spot on the side of her foot, and then she was shocked: "What's going on? Why do I have spots too?"
It turned out that a few days ago, when she was wiping Tu Chaofeng's body, she found some black spots on his hands and feet, but she only thought it was because he had not moved for a long time and the blood stasis in his body had not healed, but she never thought it might be an epidemic.
This was not surprising, as the Junguan epidemic was an extremely rare disease, known to very few people, and the initial symptoms were not obvious. At the time, the sorcerers were only concerned about the fact that he had been struck by evil spirits, so it was easy for them to overlook this point.
Tan Tai Buqi realized something was wrong because Tu Chaofeng had already shown symptoms and the epidemic had become more severe.
Zhu Changyang quickly comforted her: "Madam, don't worry. We have a prescription that can cure the disease."
Mrs. Tu was overjoyed: "Really?"
"Really?" Zhu Changyang smiled, took out a pencil and paper, quickly copied a prescription for Mrs. Butcher, and asked her to prescribe the medicine according to the prescription.
What he gave was a delayed prescription that Hua Guangbai had improved based on the symptoms of Shihu Village. It could temporarily prevent the spread of the epidemic in Tu Chaofeng and his wife, but to completely cure it, he had to use the spiritual power rice cooker to refine Fu Xuerong.
So after writing the prescription, Zhu Changyang sent Hua Guangbai a jade letter to explain the situation here.
Hua Guangbai was very surprised to learn about this and said that he would send someone to cross the Kudu River immediately, and at the same time instructed people who had come into contact with the patient to be careful.
Zhu Changyang conveyed this message to Madam Tu, asking her to contact the people who had visited Tu Chaofeng in the past few days and inform everyone that this was the Junguan epidemic, and asked everyone not to wander around and wait for the medical staff from Changchun Tower to arrive.
How could Mrs. Butcher dare not disobey? She nodded repeatedly and said that she would personally prepare the prescription and deliver it to everyone.
Fortunately, the town is not big, and those who have visited Tu Chaofeng before were all monks, so they are not easily infected, and the situation should not be serious.
When Tan Tai Bu Qi heard that this was the notorious Jun Guan Plague, he was so scared that he quickly pasted two more talismans on himself. When he saw Zhu Chang Yang take out the prescription and quickly arrange all the treatment matters, he breathed a sigh of relief and copied the prescription away.
At last, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and sighed, "I wonder what happened to Tu Chaofeng in the mountains. Not only did he lose his soul, but he also got infected with this disease."
"Did Tu Chaofeng really lose his soul?" Zhu Changyang asked in confusion, "Why does it look like that?"
After Xia Jue lost her soul, her breath became very weak, almost like a dead person, and she was still like this even though she was a powerful person.
But Mrs. Tu said that when Tu Chaofeng was possessed by the evil spirit just now, he was still able to speak. Although he is very weak now, he can still feel the breath coming in and out.
So Zhu Changyang initially thought that the lost soul was just a rumor.
Tan Tai Bu Qi said: "Because someone injected him with a breath of energy."
It was said that Tu Chaofeng had indeed lost his soul, and should have died on the night he lost his soul, but someone injected a breath of life into his pulse and saved his life.
As he said this, he praised, "I wonder who saved him. He is really capable."
Being able to keep a dead person alive with just one breath is definitely an extraordinary feat.
Jun Shu suddenly spoke up: "It's Xia Jue."
Zhu Changyang was surprised and looked back, only to see Jun Shu's two fingers pointing at Tu Chaofeng's forehead, concentrating on searching for the breath in his body.
Tan Tai Bu Qi was immediately surprised: "Are you talking about Xia Jue, the Fairy from the Ji Jin Sect?"
In the past few days, Mishan Sect has been sending him messages, saying that Jijin Sect needs their help and asked him to go over.
Tan Tai Buqi thought it was a trick of his master to trick him into going back, so he read all the messages but didn't reply. He didn't expect it to be true.
Zhu Changyang nodded and asked him, "Since there is the scent of the fairy lady, can you help find her whereabouts?"
"It's not a question of whether or not." Tan Tai Bu Qi glanced at Tu Chao Feng, his face showing difficulty. "He is relying on this breath to survive now. If the breath is taken away, he will die immediately."
Jun Shu said calmly: "Even if he doesn't take it away, he won't be able to survive in a few days."
The implication was that Tu Chaofeng would die sooner or later anyway, so it would be better to extract his aura now so that he could use it to find Xia Jue.
Tan Tai Buqi felt that his words seemed a little too cold and blinked in surprise.
Zhu Changyang also subconsciously glanced at Jun Shu, wanting to say something.
Just at this moment, a deafening tiger roar suddenly sounded in the room.
"Ah, there's a tiger!" Tan Tai Buqi was shocked, and two talismans appeared in his hand in an instant, "But I'm not afraid-"
Before he finished his words, a black shadow as long as his forearm jumped out of Zhu Changyang's pocket and ran out the door like lightning.
Tan Tai Bu Qi:
Wait, that's a cat
While he was still wondering, Zhu Changyang and Jun Shu had already followed him out of the room, and saw a small mound of earth in the yard outside the door, moving outwards rapidly.
The developer was extremely agile. Before the earth mound was moved out of the yard, he ran to the mound's path, stretched out his sharp claws and stabbed into the mound, digging up a large piece of black soil.
When it raised its claws again, you could see blood on them.
A muffled scream came from the mound, and the voice immediately fled downwards, and the mound disappeared.
The developer couldn't find the mound of earth, so he was so angry that he kept digging on the spot: "Meow meow meow meow meow—"
"It's the earth escape technique." Jun Shu said, and was about to make a gesture and draw his sword. As soon as his mind moved, he felt a sharp pain in his head again, and countless voices burst out, gnawing at his memory like ants.
The severe pain made his eyes go black. He managed to steady himself with great difficulty and not show any abnormality, but he was unable to draw his sword again.
"Who did this scoundrel come from? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me?" Tan Tai Buqi chased out, holding several yellow talismans in his hand. He pinched his fingers and the yellow talismans flew into the yard.
As the talisman paper fell to the ground, several loud thunders struck from the sky, and the "boom boom boom" sound blew the ground into flying dirt.
Tan Tai Buqi chopped and shouted, "You daring rat, why don't you show yourself at once!"
The man who had escaped underground refused to surrender and just ran around more and more anxiously. There happened to be a well in the yard, and with a "gulp" sound, the man actually escaped into the well.
"Haha, you've walked into a trap!" Tan Tai Buqi showed a look of joy, and quickly threw out two talismans and stuck them on the wall of the well, which instantly formed a trap and sealed the man in the well.
Tan Tai Bu Qi walked to the well and shouted proudly, "You can't run away. Come out if you know what's best for you."
A muffled voice came from the well: "Catch me out if you can."
Tan Tai Buqi didn't expect that this person would dare to provoke him, so he immediately threw a lightning talisman at him, "Take my lightning."
The thunder struck, but only hit the wall of the well.
It's not that he is not proficient in the art of talismans. The lightning-inviting talisman will strike wherever it is pasted. The man was in a deep well and hidden underwater. Tan Tai Buqi was unable to stick the talisman accurately on him, so it struck the wrong place.
Jing Zhong laughed out loud, "Nothing more than that!"
Tan Tai Buqi was immediately furious and took out a thick stack of lightning talismans from his mustard seed bag, "I don't believe I can't strike you."
Studio:
[Pfft, this guy has too many talismans!]
[This is so funny. With so many talismans, I'm afraid they will flatten the whole yard! ]
Zhu Changyang was also shocked by Tan Tai Buqi's heroic act, and quickly stopped him: "Brother, calm down, don't blow up other people's houses."
Tan Tai Bu Qi was very dissatisfied: "No, I must get him out..."
"We just need to get the person out." Zhu Changyang glanced into the well and said, "I have a way."
Tan Tai Buqi was suspicious: "What method?"
Zhu Changyang took out an electric wire from his pocket and said, "Hey, just turn on the electricity."
Tan Tai Bu Qi:
Studio:
[… ???]
[Hahaha, Chang Yang's move is even more vicious than Brother Fu's! ]
The author has something to say:
Well, Chaofeng is not a name, it is a title for rich country gentlemen. The supporting role doesn’t want to be named.
