Counterattack Xiaoxian

Just when everyone thought the magic was working, they never expected that the man suddenly screamed, his upper body heaved violently, he spurted out a large mouthful of black blood, and he immediately died.

At this moment, everyone's expressions changed drastically... Even Ji Lingchu, a person who did not understand medical skills, said it was scary and understood that this was a very serious infectious disease.

The saint seemed extremely tired. She closed her eyes and was speechless. She stood quietly for a while and then asked everyone to go back first.

In the evening, Fujisheng hosted a banquet, but she was still not in high spirits and suddenly asked: "Who was the first to discover those four infected people?"

Teng Sheng said hurriedly: "He is an old man who herds sheep in the mountain col. Among the dozen or so young people who entered the mountain, there is his son."

"Then invite him over tomorrow for questioning." The saint nodded, not knowing what she was thinking, and the others also looked sad.

After the banquet ended, the saint followed Qingqiu back to the Yao Shrine. She helped Ji Lingchu take care of his wounds, and then they went to rest.

Ji Ling was so sleepy at first that he almost fell asleep on the bed. He slept until midnight when he suddenly felt the need to urinate, so he got up and looked for the hut. After wandering around, he lost his way.

He thought to himself, just leave him alone, a living person can't suffocate to death, so he found a dark corner to deal with it. Just as he pulled up his pants, he vaguely saw a black shadow like a big scorpion floating past in front of his eyes.

Ji Lingchu rubbed his eyes and thought, what is this? I saw a few more people chasing after me holding torches.

What a coincidence! There was a young man among them who was also in a hurry to urinate, so he ran over to him. The man swept it with a torch and found that there was a person hiding here.

He would be a ghost if he didn't scream. When several other people heard the noise, they rushed over immediately and surrounded him.

These people tried to catch him, but of course Ji Lingchu refused, and it was hard to do anything, so he jumped to the top of the big tree next to him.

...The surrounding area was busy, the fire was shining brightly, and a large number of people came over. From a distance, someone could be heard shouting: "Have you caught the flower picker?"

"Flower picker?" Ji Lingchu almost fell down from the tree and was a little dumbfounded. He couldn't bear this crime.

The man who shouted came up and listened to the chatter of the people under the tree. He took a big bow from the people behind him, nocked an arrow and was about to shoot him.

At this time, the crowd separated into a lane, and Qingqiu walked out. The scene immediately became quiet, and everyone, male, female, old and young, showed respect.

The man hurriedly came over and explained the whole story.

It turns out that he has a daughter who has not yet left the court. She is not very beautiful, but she has recently been targeted by flower pickers.

This thief hid on the roof at night and peeped, probably looking for an opportunity to strike. This was the third time. Fortunately, he was broken into by his neighbors. After chasing him all the way down, he was finally caught.

Qingqiu didn't care about catching the prostitute, but she knew Ji Lingchu's identity, so she scolded the man and asked him to go to the clan leader to find a solution. Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, everyone dispersed one by one.

When Ji Ling first saw that everything was okay, he jumped down from the tree, thanked Qingqiu, and went back to his room to sleep.

When he woke up early the next morning, his face was still a little red, as if he had actually done that thing. The saint couldn't help laughing when she saw it.

"Women really love gossip!" Ji Lingchu complained secretly. Teng Sheng had already asked people to find the shepherd, and the saint came forward to ask questions in person.

The old sheepherder, whose beard was all white, was extremely excited when he saw the saint. He knelt down and worshiped her. He babbled about what happened at that time, which was no different from what Qingqiu had recounted before.

The saint still asked some details in detail, and then asked him to go back. It seemed that there was nothing gained.

Things made no progress the next day, another batch of patients died, and the Iron String Department was shrouded in a huge shadow.

"You can't save these people!"

At night, after Ji Lingchu finished practicing, he heard the voice of the Dog Saint in his ears.

"Hey! Why do you always appear and disappear?"

The Dog Saint said angrily: "If you want to practice, of course I have to practice too, otherwise how can I protect you."

"Tch," Ji Lingchu didn't bother to mention it and said, "How do you know you can't save me?"

"Of course I know. In fact, you should know too, but I just didn't think about it that way."

"which aspect......?"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Dog Saint: "This is radiation, a symptom of mild radiation exposure."

"Radiation! Are you sure?" Ji Lingchu was shocked. Radiation sickness is rare on earth.

"Pretty sure, I've encountered several cases with similar symptoms."

Ji Lingchu said: "This... are you mistaken? Is radiation contagious?"

Dog Saint said: "This is what I want to tell you, radiation is not contagious, but 'ghost transformation' can."

"Oh my god! What is 'ghost transformation' again?"

There was a chill in Dog Saint's tone: "The so-called 'ghost transformation' is the most vicious and cruel form of voodoo. It can turn a person into a living ghost, both physically and mentally. The method of its operation is radiation, which is hidden and silent, causing harm to people invisibly."

Ji Lingchu felt chills all over his body when he heard this, and said bravely: "Don't fool me. Can a ghost be called a ghost if it has a body...?"

"Hehehehe!" Dog Saint chuckled: "How can you still be stubborn with professionals? What you are talking about is called 'spirit'. There are many branches under the Compendium of Resentment, and 'ghost' and 'spirit' are just one of them. One, you can’t figure it out.”

"I don't care whether you are a resentful species or a sentimental species, I just want to ask you whether your current situation is radiation or voodoo?"

"It's hard to tell whether this is an extremely rare condition or both."

"Haha, it seems you are not sure either. By the way, isn't it the Gu technique that you practice? Is there any way?"

"I can't solve my current situation, but I have discovered something. Don't you think the old man herding sheep today is strange?"

"What's weird?"

"He was shaking all the time, his limbs were obviously out of control, and his speech was incoherent."

"Pull him down, he is just excited to see the saint." Ji Lingchu curled his lips.

"No, this is the early stage of infection. Think about it, the group of people he discovered first were the last to get sick. What does it mean? So if you really want to help, we can follow this clue to investigate Check it out.”

Ji Lingchu looked worried and said, "If this is the case, do you need to tell the saint? I'm worried..."

"Normal people will not be infected so easily. Gu magic has always been taken advantage of."

"Just let's check it ourselves...?" He was still a little worried.

"Yes, it's hard to say how it is. Let's get to know it first."

"Well, I don't understand anyway, so I'll just listen to you. I'll find someone to find out where the old man lives."

"Haha, no need, I have already memorized his smell."
