The person who went to get water came back soon, carrying a wooden bucket, which was about seven or eight full. Looking at his posture, it doesn't look like he's holding water, but rather like he's holding a deadly monster. His hands are stretched out as far as possible, the farther away from his body the better.
"Brother, the water is here."
The fetched well water looked clear and smelled no peculiar smell. Wang Mengchen scooped up a spoonful of water and tried it, then shook his head and put the wooden spoon down.
"This well water... no."
Ordinarily, Wang Mengchen breathed a sigh of relief after finding out the cause of the problem with the medicine and knowing that the blame could not fall on Qianshantang.
However, the trouble now is even bigger.
Seeing the happy expressions of the two juniors dispensing the medicine, Wang Mengchen couldn't relax at all.
They were thankful that they had escaped. If there was a problem with the water, the blame would never fall on them again. Even if there was a punishment, it would be a minor punishment.
But what Wang Mengchen wanted was different from them.
That's right, after finding out the reason, Qianshantang can escape from this disaster, but...
Spring water, well water, one problem after another, how unusual is this? Thinking of what Master said before leaving, Wang Mengchen felt a great panic in his heart.
He didn't want to believe it, but everything in front of him was in line with what the master said, so he had to believe it.
How could Tianjian City disappear
This city has existed for so long, so many years, how many people in Tianjian City have lived here for generations.
In many people's minds, Tianjian City should have existed since the beginning of the morning, and it will always exist like this, and there will be no day of extinction.
"You guys... don't go out yet, just rest behind the pharmacy. All the medicines that have been dispensed these days have been sorted out. If there are any that have been sent out, hurry up and get them back. I'm afraid there will be some that have changed their properties like Qingyuan Powder. Wait until tomorrow I went to explain this to Elder Wu early in the morning... go, go." He waved his hand feebly.
But before anyone went out, Wang Mengchen said suddenly: "Wait. Has anyone else taken water from that well these days besides us? Have you ever drank the water from that well? Or used it for something else?"
A few juniors, you look at me, and I look at you.
Who of them usually pays attention to this matter
"Go alone, cover the well first, don't let anyone fetch water again, go quickly."
This incident affects the whole body, and I don't know what will happen next.
He couldn't think about it, he didn't dare to think about it.
But seeing the juniors dispersed as promised, Wang Mengchen only felt that he had no idea and panicked terribly.
"Junior Brother Li."
Mo Chen stopped and turned to look at him.
"I... I want to ask you something, but I don't know you..."
"It's okay, I don't feel sleepy either, if senior brother Wang wants to talk, come over and have tea and talk."
Seriously, who is in the mood for tea
Wang Mengchen even felt depressed when he saw the water, and turned his face away after just one glance.
"Let Junior Brother Li watch the joke, today's matter..."
Mo Chen interrupted him: "The fact is that it happened suddenly, Senior Brother Wang handled it properly."
Wang Mengchen waved his hand.
"Don't put gold on my face. If you hadn't reminded me just now, I'm afraid I'm still running around there without a clue. Tomorrow I have to explain it to Elder Wu and the others, and then report the change in the well water Go up... In the past, Qianshantang used this water to dispense medicines, and only some special medicines were prepared with water collected separately. Rainwater, snowwater, and dew were also used, but... "
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
The well water is obviously no longer usable.
Then find another kind of water to use after dispensing medicine? It may not be possible to find such a suitable one for a while, but since the master is not around, he cannot be the master alone.
There have been frequent changes in Tianjian City recently, the springs have dried up, and the well water has deteriorated. What will happen next
What is the reason for the deterioration of the well water? How could a well water that has been used for many years suddenly change for no reason? This mutation...
If this mutation can make the water quality of Tianjian City worse, will there be other harms
What made him hard to let go was the words of his master.
If Tianjian City is really wiped out, what should they do? There are no eggs under the nest.
Even if he can escape with his life, where is the future? Where to go to settle down
Wang Mengchen is one of the top disciples of Tianjiancheng's generation, and he is sure to be the head of Qianshantang. He has never stepped out of Tianjian City, and he does not yearn for everything outside.
He is already one of the few well-informed and far-sighted people in Tianjian City. Others... such as his juniors just now, as long as the matter has nothing to do with them, they are happy to ignore it. The sky above their heads is only as big as a slap , Don't talk about the future, probably don't even think about tomorrow's things.
It's not their fault, Tianjian City has been like this for many years.
After Xiaodong entered the inner room, Wang Mengchen was obviously less worried than before. Although there was no friendship with these two senior brothers in the past, Wang Mengchen felt that both of them were rare and insightful people.
Of course, Shuge disciples can see many classics in Tianjian City, and some elders may not know as much as they do.
Wang Mengchen poured tea for Mo Chen: "Junior Brother Li, don't worry, this tea is not made with that well water, so you can drink it if you want to, and you'll be fine." Originally, I wanted to say something joking to make the atmosphere between the two less so. dignified, but Wang Mengchen's voice was dry and tense, which made people not feel relaxed at all.
He found it himself, and it was self-defeating at all.
He cleared his throat: "I want to ask Junior Brother Li about something."
"Brother Wang, please tell me, but I may not be able to answer it."
A trace of doubt suddenly flashed in Wang Mengchen's heart.
How come he has never seen or even heard of such an excellent young disciple like Li Chen in front of him
But he didn't think about it deeply. The huge crisis in front of him has already occupied his mind. As for the fact that he has never heard of it—there are many people in the bookstore who deal with those ancient books and classics for decades, and they can't go out for decades. One step, strangers are not exaggerated jokes.
"Brother Li's knowledge is beyond the reach of ordinary people. I want to ask, has Brother Li ever heard of the place called Burial Sword Valley?"
Mo Chen didn't show any strange look on his face, just like the place name that Wang Mengchen revealed had nothing to do with him.
He said indifferently: "I heard something."
Wang Mengchen felt that the collar was a little too tight, which made her neck uncomfortable. He loosened his collar: "I heard that the Burial Sword Valley is also a great sect that has been passed down for more than a thousand years, but it disappeared without a trace overnight, and no one escaped alive... Junior Brother Li has heard Is this thing?"
I'm afraid no one knows better than Mo Chen.
He only said: "I heard that the owner of the valley actually led about a hundred disciples to escape, but the Burial Sword Valley has indeed disappeared in this world, without leaving even a trace."
The Sword Hut he had visited before, the cemetery where his relatives and ancestors might be buried, Luofeng Terrace... these places no longer exist, it is as clean as if there has never been such a place in the world.
"The Burial Sword Valley, I heard that it used to be impressive, why did it fall to this point?"
Mo Chen answered more easily: "Brother Wang is a smart man, I'm afraid you understand this in your heart. How can there be any foundation in this world that will last forever? The Burial Sword Valley was originally built by people, does Senior Brother Wang know of any foundations built by people that can last forever?"
Wang Mengchen was taken aback for asking this question.
Yes, what in the world can last forever? Speaking earlier, which of those famous sects thousands of years ago, those swordsmen who were extraordinary and holy, can survive to this day? To put it more closely, many young people in the War of Killing Demons do not know that those people who were affected and involved in the Battle of Killing Demons, those famous sects, none of them survived.
"Senior Brother Wang, don't worry too much." Mo Chen comforted him in turn: "Although the situation in front of us is so confusing that people can't see clearly, but there are real people above us, and there are elders above the real people. At worst, there are still some city lords?"
"Young City Lord? One corner of Wang Mengchen's mouth curled up, but the other side showed no expression. The whole person now seems to be a biography of "smiling but not smiling": "It's just him..."
Probably because he felt that it was not good to say it, Wang Mengchen swallowed it back.
But from his tone and expression just now, Mo Chen could see many things.
Chen Jingzhi's stay in Tianjian City was not as good as it seemed.
Wang Mengchen's attitude can explain many things.
He is the first disciple of An Zhenren in Qianshantang, and his attitude is almost the same as that of An Zhenren, and it is also the attitude of most people in Tianjian City.
"Our senior brothers have been staying in the Book Pavilion, but we don't know much about this young master—it seems that we have never heard of it before."
"Who knows." Wang Mengchen lowered his voice. Anyway, if he didn't say anything, Mo Chen could still find out if he asked others tomorrow. Why don't he just be a favor, anyway, he was talking about something that almost everyone in Tianjian City knew, and there was no one. Nothing can be said.
"When the city lord Yu died unexpectedly, Mrs. Yu heard the news and gave birth to a son when she was frightened and turbulent. The young city lord's whereabouts were unknown that day. There was no news at all in the following year, and suddenly came to the door with a token in hand. Who raised him and told him his life experience? Besides, who knows whether he came to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, or to make some other plans... If Junior Brother Li meets him in the future, just avoid him for a while, don't worry about it seriously. "
Mo Chen nodded with a smile, and only said: "Since I have found out what the problem with Qing Yuan San is, I don't have to go to see Elder Wu together tomorrow, right?"
"Of course not." Wang Mengchen was also a little embarrassed. He was called to help by him in a good manner, and he was involved in the Qingyuan San incident, and he would definitely complain in his heart: "I have disturbed Junior Brother Li for a long time, so you should rest earlier."
Wang Mengchen's heart was in a mess, his mind was filled with messy things, and he couldn't calm down at all.
At this time of day, he would probably take a pill similar to Qingyuan Powder.
But as soon as he thought of those two tragically dead birds, he immediately gave up the idea of taking medicine.
It's better not to take this medicine.
I don't know if there will be problems with other medicines when the juniors tidy up the pharmacy. (to be continued)
