"Old man, think back, when did you get sick?"
Ye Lingyue saw that old man Huang was still weak and couldn't ask too many questions at once, so she asked him about his illness first.
"My lord, the old man is not sick. I am sixty-three this year, and my body has always been very strong. I just remember that I was sometimes sober and sometimes muddled. As for when I became like this, it should be three days ago." Huang The old man tried his best to recall.
Uncle Huang is a widowed old man in a herdsman village. He has two children, and his son was killed in a wild beast a few years ago.
The daughter also married far away and went to the inland. The old man lives in a herdsman village and relies on the care of the villagers and the village head's family on weekdays.
Three days ago, the old man went out to dig some wild vegetables as usual, and after he came back to eat, something happened.
"Wild vegetables, but you ate poisonous wild vegetables?" Ye Lingyue was puzzled.
But the old man showed no signs of poisoning.
"No, the people in the herdsman village have eaten wild vegetables all their lives. What Uncle Huang dug up that day were some very common young leaves of horse kale. Every household in the village ate them. Nothing happened to them." The village head hurried explained.
Fearing that Ye Lingyue would not believe it, the village head specially found some wild vegetables that he hadn't had time to fry.
Ye Lingyue took a few glances, the green wild vegetables really looked nothing.
"Old man Huang, I suspect that the problem lies in those wild vegetables. Do you still remember the place where you picked that day? I will let the soldiers carry you there." Ye Lingyue ordered the soldiers to carry old man Huang on their backs. Uncle Huang showed the way and walked out of the village.
The slope land adjacent to the herdsman village used to have a lot of wild vegetables.
It's just that after the villagers picked it, all the wild vegetables nearby were gone.
Old man Huang turned over one sloping field and picked wild vegetables on another sloping field.
"It's ahead." After leading the way for a while, Old Man Huang told Ye Lingyue and the soldier.
Ye Lingyue hurriedly ordered someone to light the pine oil torch, followed the light, and looked over.
Among the slightly melting slopes, there are patches of wild vegetables, which are green and plump.
Next to the field of wild vegetables, there is still a small piece of empty space, which is obviously the one that Old Man Huang collected earlier.
"Ye Zhangding, do you want us to go up and have a look?" Several soldiers asked.
"No need." Ye Lingyue stared at the piece of wild vegetables with tender leaves swaying in the night wind, with an unprecedented solemn expression.
Even at a distance of five or six hundred meters, she could feel a chilly air coming out of the soil.
In the eyes of ordinary soldiers and old man Huang, wild vegetables looked very delicious, but in Ye Lingyue's eyes, they were ghost charms urging death.
Numerous tadpole-shaped black spots dance on the leaf tips and roots of wild vegetables.
And this piece of black air not only affects people and plants, but also affects the soil depending on their activity.
If it is not stopped in time, I am afraid that it will spread to the vicinity. In this way, the nearby soldiers, civilians, livestock, and even the military camp will be threatened.
As long as humans and animals eat a little bit, they will be immediately polluted by black air.
"You guys, go and call Miss Aguduo." Ye Lingyue ordered the soldiers to find Aguduo who was in the village.
"Aguduo, look, is the breath you felt on those restless spirit beasts earlier, the same as those on these wild vegetables?"
Apart from Ye Lingyue, A Guduo was the only person who could feel the black energy.
After identifying it, Aguduo nodded with certainty.
Ye Lingyue was even more certain that these wild vegetables must have mutated due to the influence of the black air.
"Fill up this area first, Aguduo, and then take other soldiers to search within ten miles. If you also find this kind of plant with black air, seal it up together." Even Pill Fire can't clean up these weird black energy.
What Ye Lingyue can confirm now is that her dry cauldron is the nemesis of these weird black qi.
But there is only one dry cauldron, and the number of these mysterious black qi raging on the plain is hard to predict.
With her own strength, if she can't find a proper way, it will be difficult to absorb all the black energy on the Xixia Plain.
After a busy day, most of the mysterious black energy in the sick villagers of the village has been absorbed by Ye Lingyue with the dry tripod.
In order to prevent further beast riots, the soldiers of the Tiger Wolf Army set up a temporary barracks next to the village that night.
Soldiers were patrolling nearby from time to time, and everything seemed to have returned to the order it had been when Nie Fengxing was still there.
To Ye Lingyue's surprise, Aguduo got along well with those rough-tempered soldiers.
Maybe it's because of the spirit beasts of Aguduo, especially under the coercion of the hill-like purple elephant, those bone-piercing soldiers of the tiger wolf army are all submissive in front of Aguduo of.
Seeing this, Ye Lingyue thought to herself, it seems that Aguduo really has the talent to be a female general.
After the mysterious black air incident subsides, maybe she should recommend it to her adoptive father. With the successor of Aguduo's Beast Cult and the cultivation of the Dayuan Danjing, she is very likely to become the youngest in the history of Daxia. female general.
Until late at night, there was still no beast attack.
Thinking about the bad news of her mother, Ye Lingyue felt very depressed.
Lan Cai'er next to her had already fallen asleep, and after a while of upset, Ye Lingyue entered Hongmengtian.
She thought of the mysterious black energy she had absorbed during the day, and with a heartbeat, she checked the dry cauldron in her hand.
The consciousness swept around in the cauldron, and Ye Lingyue was also surprised.
Ordinary medicinal materials and ores, once absorbed by the black cauldron, will be quickly refined by the cauldron.
Even the Golden Crow Danhuo of the Golden Crow old monster has become much weaker after entering the dry cauldron, but the black energy doesn't seem to have changed much.
But during the day, the black energy she devoured was not directly refined.
In the dry cauldron, a large amount of white aura floated, forming a stark contrast with the silt-colored black aura.
At a glance, there are about fifty or sixty black qi, which look like tadpoles swarming in a pond.
The tadpole-shaped black air that was rampant in the outside world slowed down a lot after entering the dry cauldron, and it just swam around in the dry cauldron with difficulty.
"I don't know what will become of them after they are refined?"
When Ye Lingyue thought that her own mother was swallowed up by the two-headed python because of these mysterious black qi, she couldn't vent her anger in her heart.
Ye Lingyue's consciousness moved, and the tripod seal turned into a black tripod, suspended in Ye Lingyue's palm.
The mental power quickly got into the dry cauldron, and the aura in the small cauldron suddenly became much stronger.
Seemingly aware of Qian Ding's intentions, those tadpole black qi also realized what was wrong, and they united together to fight against Ding Ding.
Suddenly, Jing and Ding Xi fell into a tug of war.
