Half Immortal Tribulation

Chapter 18

Hearing Ling'er's shout, Qianmo and Chuck also rushed in quickly, standing on the left and right beside Shangguan Yunqing.

Qian Mo laughed and said, "I only know that there are demons, gods, and humans in this world. I never knew that there were ghosts. Today I want to take a good look." Ghosts are just legends in the world. After that, Heavenly Dao will immediately include it in the Dao of Reincarnation and reincarnate, like the theory of sealing the soul, which only exists for the demon world and the god world.

"Ling'er, don't be afraid. I'll catch a ghost and show you. You won't be afraid in the future." Shangguan Yun smiled lightly, pointed the soft sword in his hand at the chest of one of the 'ghosts', and said , will rush up.

Unexpectedly, the two 'ghosts' on the opposite side knelt down to them with a plop, stretched out their hands to pick off the messy grass on their heads, and kowtowed at Shangguan Yunqing and the others, and one of them said: "Please Please let us go, sir, we are forced to do nothing."

Chuck stepped forward, helped the two people up, but asked sharply, "Why are you pretending to be ghosts here to scare passers-by?"

"Grandpa, please forgive me. We were also forced to do nothing. We managed to pick a small life and escape here. We had no food or clothing, so we had no choice but to do something wrong." One of them said.

"Well, it turns out that you are a human being, and you dare to pretend to be a ghost to scare me. Tell me, who are you?" Ling'er leaned out from behind Shangguan Yunqing, and said angrily, how dare she make her look ugly, hmph.

"We are the villagers of Qiushui Village. The plague suddenly hit the village, and most of the villagers died of illness. Only a few of us who were not infected with the plague escaped quickly and settled here because some of us are old and young. Since I was young and had nowhere to go for the time being, I pretended to be a ghost to frighten passers-by, or ask for a silver or two, so that they wouldn’t all starve to death in the wilderness.” Another person said in a deep voice.

"So, there are other people in this temple?" Shangguan Yun put away his soft sword lightly and asked.

"Let them all come out." Qian Mo took a step forward and stood in front of Shangguan Yunqing. The man just said that they escaped from a village with the plague. It is hard to guarantee that none of them will be infected. Although his little junior sister is a half-immortal body and is not afraid of these at all, he still subconsciously protects her behind him.

As soon as Qian Mo finished speaking, under the pile of straw in the ruined temple and the dilapidated god statue, more than a dozen ragged and unkempt people came out, including seven or eight young and old.

"How long have you lived here?" Linger asked standing behind Chuck.

"It's been more than ten days." One of the older people replied.

"Then you've been living here?" Chuck looked around, except for a mud-bodied Bodhisattva in this ruined temple, there was only the pile of straw on the ground.

"The plague in Qiushui Village has not subsided, and we have nowhere to live." The old man who was still older replied, with a sense of helplessness in his vicissitudes of life.

"This is too pitiful." Linger tugged at the corner of Chuck's clothes and said with red eyes, "Shall we help them?"

"Well, I think so." Shangguan Yun nodded lightly, untied the plum blossom purse on his waist, took out two packs of snacks from it, handed it to the old man, and said, "These two packs of crystal cakes, Let me pad your stomachs first, if it is not enough, my elder brother will help you buy it tomorrow."

"Thank you Bodhisattva, thank you Bodhisattva..." The old man took the two packs of snacks tremblingly, and he was so moved that he couldn't help it. These days, they have been living a life where people are not people, and ghosts are not ghosts. .

"Why did I go to buy it?" Qian Mo said depressedly, when did he become an errand runner?
"Because your 'Phantom Walk' is the best and the fastest running." Shangguan Yunqing took it for granted.

"Didn't you always say that your 'Lian Bu Sheng Xiang' is the best?" Qian Mo asked back.

"I'm the most generous person, so I'll let you use it for a day." Shangguan Yun patted Qianmo's shoulder lightly, raised his slender eyebrows, and said, "Master brother, huh?"

"Yun Qing, what kind of purse is this? It's so amazing, it can hold so many things?" Ling'er leaned forward and grabbed Shangguan Yunqing's purse and looked at it over and over again. If she also had such a purse, in the future When you run away from home, you can bring more things with you.

"Is it far from your Qiushui Village?" Chuck asked the old man.

"It only takes half a day's journey to get there." The old man replied.

"Are there any living people in the village?" Chuck sat opposite the old man and continued to ask.

"Hey, even if there are still living people, they can't escape this death." The old man sighed: "This time the plague is fierce, and there is no way to restrain it at all. As long as you are infected, you will definitely die."

"I know a little bit of medical skills, and I have to trouble the old man to take me to the village tomorrow. Maybe I can find a way to get rid of the plague." Chuck cupped his hands.

"Chuck, are you stupid? Just now the old man said that this plague can't be restrained, and if you get infected, you will die. Why do you want to go?" Linger pulled the corner of Chuck's clothes and whispered.

"This girl is right. There is really no need for you to take such a risk. Even if the plague is lifted, there may not be many families left in my Qiushui Village." The voice of the old man was full of sadness. Qiushui Village was probably destroyed by this plague.

"If the plague is not eliminated, if you are infected by the passing pedestrians, it will also spread to other towns. Besides, it is not a solution for you to always live in this ruined temple. After all, you still have to go home." Chuck smiled gently.

"It seems to make sense, but are you really able to relieve this plague?" Ling'er patted Chuck on the shoulder and said, "Don't just talk about it now."

"If Chuck can't solve it, isn't there still my big brother?" Shangguan Yunqing emptied his purse and distributed it to these villagers before he came forward and said.

"Your elder brother also knows medical skills? Also, you talk about elder brother and shut up, do you like your elder brother?" Linger said dissatisfiedly, why should he say that the person he likes is not as good as others? ?

As soon as Linger's voice fell, Qianmo and Chuck became nervous at the same time.

"What do you like or not? This is called the pride of the teacher, do you understand?" Shangguan Yunqing didn't notice the expressions of the two, and just yelled at Ling'er.

Hearing Shangguan Yunqing's answer, Qianmo felt disappointed for a while, but Chuck was quietly relieved.
