Chapter 119: Chasing the Roots
Caiyi came close to the child, squatted down, and looked at the child's level.
The child's eyes were dull and he seemed to be unable to see the surrounding scenery. He could only sniff his nose and asked:
"Daddy, grandma? Are you going to buy rouge?" ”
He looked a little dull, and his thinking and reaction seemed to be a bit slower than those of his peers. I don’t know if it was because of the injury or something else.
Caiyi didn't reply, but carefully put her finger on the child's forehead, and gently absorbed a little bit of the innate energy from her own body into the child's body.
In just half a breath, Cai Yi's face turned ugly.
Both the bones and internal organs are almost the same as those of dogs. This is the ultimate transformation of a human into a dog.
The child turned his head blankly and subconsciously avoided Caiyi's fingers.
"Auntie, is there any way you can save my son? I, Lu Youwei, am not very capable and can't give you anything. But if you want the wealth and money of the family in this town and the servant manor, you can come with me if you want. Open your mouth, as long as you can save my son, it doesn’t matter if you give it your all.”
Lu Youwei kept talking to Cai Yi, but Cai Yi didn't dare to make any guarantee after hearing what he said.
Innate Qi can heal injuries, but for such a serious injury, her Qi reserves are obviously insufficient, much worse.
After being silent for a while, he said:
“Let me think of a way to make some room for us?”
“Yes, of course! ”
Lu Youwei immediately asked his servants to prepare a good room, and then asked Zuo Chen and the others to go in.
The large room is obviously the guest room in their home. All the decorations are very elegant, but at this moment, the guest room is also filled with a strong smell of medicine, which makes people unable to open their eyes.
After entering the room, Cai Yi immediately looked at Zuo Chen and Tang Lao with pleading eyes.
Looking at Caiyi, it was what Mr. Tang said first:
“It can’t be cured, it really can’t be cured. I see that the child has clearly been subjected to the animal-entering technique, so Putting the human realm into the animal realm and falling from the upper three realms to the lower realms are considered 'bad'. To put it bluntly, it is easy for 'bad' people in this world, but it is difficult for 'good' people."
He sighed again and again: "The child's three souls and seven souls even showed some signs of canine transformation. It should be that the living soul was attacked by a sharp knife, and the thief-eating and filth-eating body was also destroyed. It was not only injured physically, but also physically. In terms of soul. If I don’t have this ability, it’s really hard for me to recover.”
Hearing that Mr. Tang really had no choice, Caiyi turned to Zuo Chen for help.
Zuo Chen thought for a few seconds:
"It can be saved."
As soon as he said this, Caiyi breathed a sigh of relief, and Mr. Tang looked at Zuo Chen with wide eyes.
"Taoist Priest? He's injured like this, can he still be saved?" Mr. Tang was obviously a little stunned: "In this big beam, it is understandable to call it a terminal illness in such a situation. Are you planning to start a new practice?"
"Strength can only work miracles." Zuo Chen waved his hand without explaining too much, which made Mr. Tang look confused.
In fact, there are really no special techniques. It simply relies on the innate recovery ability of Yiqi. As long as it is instilled enough, no matter what evil magic or flesh and blood damage, it can be washed away by this Qi. , return to the original state.
This is the method Zuo Chen used when he rescued Wang Erniu and Liu Lezi in the ghost village.
As long as the soul is still in the body and there is still one breath left, you can save it with all your strength.
"But... I still have some things I want to confirm before rescuing people." Zuo Chen paused, and then said: "I'm afraid there is something fishy behind this matter. If we directly save people, there are two questions as to whether the person rescued in the end is a human being. "I said it."
Hearing Zuo Chen's words, Cai Yi had not yet reacted, but Mr. Tang blinked his eyes twice and suddenly took a breath:
"You What does this mean? "
Zuo Chen did not explain for the time being, but opened the door in the room and greeted the three people waiting in the yard.
“You three, I have something to ask you. Can you please come in and talk about it?”
The couple nodded repeatedly, and the brother looked at Zuo Chen doubtfully and followed him in.
Caiyi still didn’t quite understand what Zuo Chen wanted to do, so he had to stand aside obediently.
When the three of them were seated, the couple looked at Caiyi, as if they thought it was the aunt who wanted to ask something, but they soon discovered that it was Zuo Chen who was standing in front.
I had some doubts in my heart, but seeing that Zuo Chen was doing something extraordinary, I also estimated that Zuo Chen must be very capable, so he sat down and waited for Zuo Chen to ask questions.
“I would like to ask, who discovered the trace of the child in the first place. And who brought the child back?”
Hearing this question, others first looked at each other, and then Lu Youwei's brother said:
"It's me."
Seeing Zuo Chen turn his eyes to him, this brother finally said to himself He introduced:
"My name is Lu Youxin, and I am his brother. After my nephew had an accident, I have been helping his family. At that time, I asked someone to search nearby, and it took me a while to find him. "Where is the nephew?"
"Where is the troupe?" Zuo Chen asked again.
"I brought a few thugs over there, and half of the troupe ran away. The rest were blocked in the house and couldn't get out. I smashed their heads one by one with a stick, and they were taken out and burned. "It turned into ashes."
"That's it."
Zuo Chen nodded clearly: "Can you tell me where you found the troupe?"
< br>Lu Youxin was obviously a little confused, but he still told Zuo Chen the address honestly:
“Go out along the town and walk towards Dongshui City. There is a forest over there. To the edge of the forest, Don't go in, just walk eastward without riding a horse. If you are fast on your feet, it will take about a stick of incense, and you will see an abandoned courtyard where I found my nephew."
< br>
After saying this, Lu Youxin couldn't help but add:
"Does this have something to do with saving my nephew?"
"It does have something to do with it. I have to go to the scene to see it. Only by seeing what prescription they are using can we prescribe the right medicine."
Zuo Chen said.
After listening to Zuo Chen’s words, the couple could probably feel that Zuo Chen seemed to have found a way to cure their son, and they were very happy and promised repeatedly that as long as their child could be cured, No matter how much silver it is, I am willing to pay.
After a few words of comfort, Zuo Chen invited them out.
When these people left, Mr. Tang lowered his voice and said, "There seems to be something wrong with Lu Youxin." "What should I say?" Caiyi asked.
"In my opinion, he seems a little afraid that the child will be cured." Mr. Tang analyzed: "Don't think this man is the child's uncle, he only does it for money. There are a lot of people who are causing trouble! If these two people remain childless, and if something really happens to this kid, such a huge family fortune will eventually be given to him at a cheap price!"
Zuo Chen can also see it! Lu Youxin seemed to have the feeling that he didn't want them to continue investigating.
But judging from his facial features, Lu Youxin was full of heaven. Although he was not righteous, he was definitely not evil-looking. Although his eyes were evasive, they did not show a guilty conscience.
It doesn’t look like someone who harmed his relatives for money.
"Follow me to the yard of that place later and take a look. After seeing the scene, I can finally understand something."
......
When the three of them set off, It's the time when the sun sets over the mountains, the moon half hangs in the sky, and the stars shine brightly.
It's a little cloudy today, covering both the moon and the stars.
Caiyi originally wanted Mr. Tang to rest in the house, but Mr. Tang said that he was also a member of the Beggar Gang after all, and his understanding of the art of sin was no less than the two of them. , there will always be nothing wrong with him going and taking a look.
The distance was not too far, so we went directly on the donkey.
When it came to a few things about acrobatics, the three of them were quite silent on the road. Mr. Tang obviously wanted to take this opportunity to chat with Caiyi about what she has been through during this period of time, but when he thought that the conversation at this juncture would probably turn into a conversation about picking and cutting raw materials and performing sideshows. discussion, they simply stopped talking.
On this road, Mr. Lu was the only one wandering around, quite at ease.
It didn't take long for Mr. Lu to wander to the place. After getting out of the car, Mr. Tang was still a little confused:
"From what the person just said, this road is not that close, right? Why? It doesn’t take long to arrive?”
Hearing this, before Zuo Chen had time to explain, Mr. Lu raised his head high and snorted.
Looking at Mr. Donkey’s vivid spirit, Mr. Tang was really surprised, and then he reacted:
“Taoist Priest, you are still raising a precious donkey? ”
Zuo Chen looked at Mr. Donkey.
The magical power that shrunk to an inch just now was used by him. Is this donkey a fake tiger?
I didn’t say much, I just turned my attention to the courtyard.
This yard is not small and is located in a remote place. There is only a small branch road connecting it from the main road. There is a large plain in front and a forest behind it.
The entire courtyard was surrounded by a large circle with a small wooden fence. There were already overgrown weeds inside, and it seemed that no one had cleaned it up for a while.
The owner who once lived here doesn’t know what his specific livelihood was. He might have been a woodcutter who cut wood, a hunter who hunted, or a herdsman who herded cattle. Of course, there might also have been a wealthy family who had some spare money and disliked the noise. , I found such a place to enjoy the scene surrounded by mountains and rivers.
But no matter what it once was, it is now a wasteland. Some insects have chosen this place to live and make a meager living.
Seeing that the fence door was ajar, Zuo Chen went up and pushed it with his hand, and the entire fence suddenly collapsed and turned into broken wood.
Retracted his hand angrily.
This thing is brittle than Zuo Chen imagined.
After entering the courtyard, you can smell a faint smell of blood and a bit of herbal medicine mixed in the air. Even if there is no one here anymore, the dirty business you once did is engraved here like a carving knife. It will take a long time to subside.
Looking around, I found that the main door of the main hall had been demolished and was surrounded by water tanks of different sizes. The ground was brown with layers of accumulated blood, and some swords and spears could be seen in the corners. The hot iron and modular bed made of wood are full of evil spirits.
It’s hard to imagine how much meat was cut in these locations.
Like a butcher's cutting board.
After waiting for this, Cai Yi showed a very unhappy expression. He grabbed his right forearm with his left hand and felt uncomfortable all over. Mr. Tang couldn't stop sighing, muttering words such as "If you don't take the right path, you will die badly."
Zuo Chen glanced left and right, and the light flashed slightly in his eyes.
"Found it."
Ignoring the filthy and unlucky surroundings, Zuo Chen stepped out directly, without stopping in the yard, and headed directly towards a certain place on the plain. Walk everywhere.
Boss Tang Lao and Cai Yi were full of doubts. They didn't know what Zuo Chen had discovered, so they could only follow Zuo Chen's pace in a hurry.
Then I found that Zuo Chen seemed to be following some invisible route. After a short time, he came to a plain with tall wormwood.
Caiyi and Mr. Tang came over and discovered that there was a bumpkin here.
It’s not high, it’s a grave bag.
"Taoist Master? This is it?"
Pointing to the tomb bag with some doubts, Cai Yi's face was full of doubts.
Suddenly there were small graveyards appearing in this wilderness plain, which really didn’t look right no matter how you looked at them.
Zuo Chen didn't answer.
He stared at the grave in front of him with lowered eyes.
There is no soul in the grave here, but there is some breath left.
Exactly the same as the child in the compound who suffered a disaster.
Grandpas, please give me a monthly ticket!
