So the old man said slowly, one by one.
It turned out that when Jian Jian was more than three years old, he suddenly disappeared from his home for some reason. The whole family searched for half a night, and finally found it in the forest outside the city, but his grandfather was filled by wild beasts in the mountains.
When he was more than five years old, he played with fire at home, set the house on fire, and burned his grandfather to death.
When I was just over seven years old...
In this way, when Jian Jian was ten years old, the Jian family, which had a lot of people, actually only had father and son left to depend on each other. Except for the aunt who had long been married to someone else's family, Mrs. Qin.
Wen Xuan felt very unbelievable when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter with that lady Qin?"
"Ms. Qin, but the only one in their Jian family who understands." The old man snorted coldly, "Everyone sees that idiot is a scourge, but their Jian family doesn't believe it. Only Mrs. Qin can see clearly and know the scourge. I can't stay, and I almost found an opportunity to strangle that bad boy... If it wasn't for her being stopped that time, the Jane family wouldn't be in this situation now!"
"What?" Wen Xuan was shocked and almost knocked over the vegetable bowl beside him.
Although he just heard people say this, thinking that he was almost strangled to death by his own aunt, he still felt frightened and angry, "It's ridiculous, ridiculous. Just because there is no reason for the 'disaster star' to say, he will kill a so Little child, this is called a sensible person? There are so many people who think she is a good person?"
"You don't know about your benefactor. If you only harmed their Jian family, no matter how big the trouble was, there wouldn't be so many people who would be a pity for Miss Qin's loss." The star has harmed the head of outsiders!"
Wen Xuan took a breath and calmed down a little, "How do you say this?"
"First, the neighbors and friends they made friends with, one or two contracted a strange disease. Later, even those who went to Yunlingzhai to buy spiritual medicines contracted the same strange disease, and they were tossed so hard Damn, there is no cure anywhere!"
It was such an unbelievable thing again, Wen Xuan's face sank again, "What strange disease?"
It is clear that the Shuiyun Sect also sent people to enter the medicinal materials in Jiufeng City, and did not go around Yunlingzhai.
"No one can tell." The old man shook his head, "First, there were lumps on the body, then festering and pus, stinking, itching and pain, paralyzed at home and unable to walk. Anyone who came to see it said they didn’t know what was going on.”
"Didn't you invite those from the major sects to come and have a look?" Wen Xuan couldn't help asking.
"Is the benefactor talking about Shuiyunzong?" The old man shook his head and shrugged, "How could those uncles of Shuiyunzong care about this trivial matter in Jiufeng City? All they care about are their own disciples. As well as those future disciples with excellent qualifications in the city. But all the most ordinary mortals are infected by this strange disease, and they are too lazy to take a look."
Wen Xuan's face was dull, but he couldn't refute it. This also explains why no one in the Shuiyun Sect is affected by the strange disease - what kind of strange disease, actually knows how to bully the soft and fear the hard.
But Wenxuan was still a little different from the other disciples. He immediately began to inquire about the residences of those infected, and wanted to see it with his own eyes.
But the old man said, "If the benefactor goes back at this time, I'm afraid I won't see anything. Since the Jian family died, the sick people have recovered one by one."
"...death?"
"Yeah. Speaking of which, the head of the Jian family was the first person to contract this strange disease, and he was more ill than the others. After procrastinating for several months, finally one night, I swallowed my breath." The old man said thinly, "When he died like this, many people in the city panicked, thinking that they were about to suffer. It was only a few days later, when the strange diseases on other people's bodies gradually improved, that they realized that It turned out that God opened his eyes."
Seeing this person commenting on the death of Jian Jian's father like this, Wen Xuan felt unhappy, and even felt a little distressed.
"But I have to say that the key to this matter is not the head of the Jian family, but the disaster star." The old man said again, "It is also thanks to the death of the head of the Jane family that Mrs. Qin drove the disaster star away. When we arrived outside the city. Later, some people who went out hunting saw that the disaster star had died in the forest outside the city, and the weather in the city was considered to be good."
Hearing this person mentioning Yi Jian's head again, Wen Xuan felt a lot of pain in his heart, but he felt even more incredible, "Died outside the city?"
"yes."
"Is that person wrong?"
"How is that possible." The old man blew his moustache. "More than one person saw it. What's more, in any case, after he died, the others began to heal. This should be right."
Wen Xuan fell silent. After a long while, he asked, "Then before he was kicked out of Jiufeng City, did his father find someone to cure his madness."
The old man sneered, "He does."
The implication, obviously not.
This is strange. No matter where these words are, they don't match Wenxuan's cognition. The younger brother Jian, whom Wenxuan knew, has always been alive and kicking, and his mind is even more intelligent than ordinary people. Even if he had suffered from dementia, he should have been cured early. In short, it is not like the disaster star in the old man's mouth at this time.
Wenxuan couldn't help but describe his simple appearance to see if he really found the wrong person.
As a result, the old man's eyes grew bigger and bigger, and later, before Wenxuan could finish speaking, he panicked and shouted, "Yes, this is the disaster star! Benefactor, how did you know?"
Didn't find the wrong person? Wen Xuan couldn't help shaking his head. The strangeness in it, obviously the old man in front of him can't answer it.
Wenxuan asked again where the sick people lived, "Although they are already well, I still want to take a look. By the way, there is also the Yunling Zhai, you can show me too."
After writing down these addresses, Wen Xuan was ready to leave.
But before that, there is another person, and he should ask more clearly, "Where does that lady Qin live now?"
"It's right next to Yunlingzhai. Since the two father and son of the disaster star died, she said that Yunlingzhai was the family's ancestral property, so she lived back."
Family ancestry? But isn't Yunlingzhai a shop that was opened only by the generation of the simple father? Wenxuan has another layer of doubts in his heart, but he can only put it there temporarily with other doubts, waiting to slowly explore the secrets behind.
Just when he got up and was about to leave, the old man rolled his eyes and immediately followed behind him shamelessly, "My benefactor, since you have helped me, why don't you help others to the end? As long as the benefactor is willing to leave a place by my side, I will definitely stay in the saddle..."
Is this really going to depend on him? Wenxuan looked at this man incredulously.
This person didn't feel embarrassed at all, he smiled shamelessly, and was about to say something, but he felt a gust of wind blowing in his face, and couldn't help blinking. When the eyes closed and opened, there was only the leftover food on the table and the twenty or thirty spirit stones, but where was Wen Xuan's half-person figure
After Wenxuan escaped, he flew all the way to two streets away and slowed down.
He found a house along the street where someone had a strange disease, and knocked on the door. When the door was opened, Wenxuan… humbly pretended to be a person asking for directions, and while asking for directions, he carefully observed the small area that could be seen behind the door.
At first glance, this family seems to be very normal, except for a puppet statue on the table facing the door. What kind of god is it? Any more, it's really hard to see what's going on in this situation.
Because Wenxuan asked too much along the way, the person who opened the door became suspicious and asked with a frown, "This immortal, what are you doing here?"
In desperation, Wenxuan had no choice but to explain his intentions honestly, "I heard that someone in this family once suffered from a strange disease..."
"Crack!" Before he could finish the words, the person who opened the door turned pale with fright and quickly stepped back, slapped the door panel in front of Wen Xuan, and a panicked voice came from behind the closed door, "I don't You know what's wrong!"
Wenxuan touched his nose dejectedly and had to look elsewhere.
Then he looked for about four or five more, all of them were treated like no other. It is worth noting that almost all of these houses have such wooden statues. Even if there are a few remaining, maybe he just didn't see them. After all, he couldn't get in.
I have to find a way to get in... But this method is quite difficult to think of, it is not the field that Wen Xuan is good at.
Wenxuan likes the straightforward approach, but it doesn't work at such a time. No, wait a minute. With that said, there are a few homes that might be worth checking out. Wenxuan's thoughts turned, and his toes turned in the direction, changing the exploration policy of walking all the way, and heading straight for an address.
The few homes he looked for before had nothing to do with the Jian family. It was just that after entering the elixir a few times, they caused unpredictable disasters. Naturally, that kind of reaction was unavoidable. As for the house that Wenxuan is going to look for now, the male owner of the house was once a close friend of Jian Jian's father.
Although this person cut off contact with Jian Jian's father due to his wife's compulsion after contracting a strange disease, Wen Xuan felt that it was worth a try.
Before he stopped at the door of this house, he knocked on the door, and when he saw the person who opened the door, he breathed a sigh of relief. I saw that this person was wearing a khaki linen cloth, with a thin body and a short beard on his lips. It was the man who was right.
Since this person was in front of him, Wen Xuan bowed his hands, and without covering it up, he directly explained his purpose. Of course, in order to avoid being heard by the rest of the family, he still spoke very carefully, and even kept his voice extremely low.
After hearing this, the man's face changed, and he carefully let Wen Xuan into the room, and said cautiously, "Xianchang, you are here at the right time, and my wife is not at home."
Hearing this, Wen Xuan was greatly relieved.
When he was finally able to enter a house, he also felt that a boulder fell in his heart, and he couldn't help but turn his eyes, and at a glance, he saw the same wooden statue in the corner of the living room. It's the same as anything I've seen before.
"Xianchang," the male host surnamed Zhou asked in a dignified manner, "you... you said that the simple child is still alive, is it true?"
Wenxuan shook his head, "I do know a simple person. But after walking around in Jiufeng City, I am not sure now."
The person surnamed Zhou sighed, "The matter of the Jian family is really strange and inexplicable."
This person met Zhan Zhan's father more than ten years ago, when Zhan Zhan had just been born. At that time, he was bitten by poisonous insects in the mountains, and he happened to meet Jian Jian's father collecting herbs in the mountains, so his life was saved, "I'm ashamed to say, I haven't been able to repay this kindness until now."
Then he recounted what he had said, but it was not much different from what the old rogue had said before.
Wen Xuan listened and walked around the room carefully. When he approached the wooden statue, he couldn't help but stop. He had been far away before, and he still didn't feel anything, but when he got closer, he felt that the statue exuded a strange aura.
The smell is hard to describe. If a tangible thing is often worshipped by people, it will naturally take on a ray of divinity. Over time, this divinity will give birth to spirituality and respond to the wishes of mortals when they worship. Most of the so-called gods and Buddhas in the mortal world are born in this way. As more and more people worship and their divinity grows stronger, such gods and Buddhas will grow in cultivation, until one day they will rise through tribulations like monks on other paths and become true immortals.
The wood carving in front of him has such a ray of divinity. But the strange thing is that under this ray of divinity, there seems to be a ray of yin mixed with it.
"Xianchang," the person surnamed Zhou noticed that Wenxuan's expression was different, "Is there something wrong with this blessing and misfortune for Xianjun?"
"Fortune and misfortune, Immortal Monarch?" Wen Xuan asked in surprise.
The person surnamed Zhou nodded, saying that this is the immortal king who is in charge of blessings and misfortunes in the sky. Even the calamity caused by the Jane family before was controlled entirely by this blessing and misfortune.
Wen Xuan's expression became more and more strange, "But the reason why your strange illness is cured is not because..." Wen Xuan couldn't say the rest.
The person surnamed Zhou knew what he wanted to say, and sighed, "That's just one of them. In fact, it was when this strange disease began to occur in the city that the immortal emperor of good fortune and misfortune began to be believed in. Yes. During that time, if the sick person invited the Immortal Monarch of Fortune and Misfortune to stay at home, the symptoms would be milder, and those who did not request would be more severe. Later, more and more people invited the Immortal Monarch of Fortune and Misfortune to go home. , and even fewer people get sick."
"There is still such a thing?"
"Yeah... and the truth is true..." The person surnamed Zhou said again, "Afterwards, everyone said that Jian Jian had died outside, and everyone's condition began to improve, but I... and several other families did not want to. I didn't see any good if I believed in this blessing and misfortune. It wasn't until later that my wife scolded me and invited me back.
After hearing this, Wenxuan couldn't help but scrutinized the wooden statue again, "Then, where did you invite this immortal lord of good fortune and misfortune?"
"Introduced by Mrs. Qin." The person surnamed Zhou replied.
Lady Qin? Why is this woman again.
