The apprentices who were picked up were cut in vain

The girl's eyes were staring straight, and her whole body was twitching involuntarily. Her mouth was half-opened, drooling down, and she looked extremely terrifying.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Xie Yan was anxious, "Hurry up and save someone!"

"Then I'll use the evil spell again!" Xin Xi said, and was about to strangle her, when she saw the girl's hand tightly strangled her own neck.

"You...you can try...do you drive me away first, or should I kill her first..." The girl's voice was hoarse and terrifying at the moment, which was quite different from the previous voice, more like a man's voice.

"This is... the big brother? Calm down first." Xie Yan tried his best to get close to the "big brother", "You see, the little girl's life is pitiful, if you have any difficulties, tell me Say, okay?"

"Big Brother" looked at Xie Yan without letting go, and said coldly, "I have nothing to say to you cultivators."

"How can you have nothing to say?" Xie Yan tried to make his smile brighter than the sun, "You don't want to go to reincarnation, you are willing to suffer here, you must have some wish, right? Do you need my help?"

"Big Brother" fell silent when he heard the words. He looked at the unconscious woman on the bed, and loosened his grip on the neck.

"Does it have something to do with her?" Seeing this, Yun Yiyuan couldn't help asking, "Why do you pester their family?"

"People?" The "big brother" sneered, "Are they people?"

"From the point of view of the naked eye, they are indeed human beings." Xie Yan hadn't finished speaking when he saw that "big brother"'s expression instantly became ferocious, and he immediately changed his words in fright, "Of course, this is only from the appearance. , why don’t you tell us, big brother, why are they not human?”

"Do you know how I died?" "Big brother" said, laughing fiercely, it sounded very strange, "It was this woman lying on the bed who sent me here with her own hands!"

"If you are sick, you will naturally be separated from healthy people. If you die of illness, why should you blame others?" Xin Xi said with a cold snort, "Don't be too selfish!"

"Die from illness?" The "big brother" was obviously angry, and he said viciously, "When I was sent here, I was not sick at all!"

"Then how could it be?" Yun Yiyuan asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you were framed by someone?"

"That's right! It's the mother and daughter!" "Big Brother" snapped, "I just ate a bowl of noodles at her noodle stall, and this woman reported me! She said I had typhoid! But the erythema on my body It’s been there since I was a child, it’s not plague at all! I begged them desperately and kowtowed to them, but they still didn’t listen, tied me up forcibly, and sent me here.”

"Then you..." Xie Yan remembered his speculation just now, and suddenly realized, "You got sick after you were sent here, right?"

"That's right, I'm sick and life is worse than death, so I swear, even if I fall into hell, I will make this mother and daughter pay the price!" "Big brother" said, grabbing the woman on the bed by the neck .

The woman was originally in a coma, but she couldn't breathe smoothly after being pinched like this, so she struggled desperately.She opened her eyes and saw her daughter's distorted face. The woman was confused and frightened, and cried out.

"I'm going to save people!" Yun Yiyuan shouted, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Xie Yan.

"He can't do it." Xie Yan raised his chin and said, "If he could do it, he would have killed the mother and daughter long ago. Why wait until today?"

Yun Yiyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, yes, this resentful soul could have killed the mother and daughter directly, why use such a slow way to make people sick?

Sure enough, the hand that the "big brother" was holding on to the woman's neck, just as Xie Yan said, gradually loosened after a while, and he collapsed and sat on the ground, howling in pain.

Seeing this, Xie Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, leaned over and sat down next to that person, "How about it, do you want to chat? Brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Zheng Yuan, and I'm from Zhengjia Village in the west of Lizhou. The wine we brew is famous far and wide. Every day I buy wine and sell it in Lizhou." Zheng Yuan looked at Xie Yan, his eyes blushing.

"I still have a 70-year-old mother in my family who relies on me to sell wine for money every day. Now I am trapped here. My old mother has been left unattended for such a long time. I am afraid she is gone..." Zheng Yuan said Then, wept gradually.

Looking at it now, this Zheng Yuan doesn't seem like such a vicious Wraith, he's just an ordinary person.Xie Yan shook his head, and then asked, "I don't see anyone guarding this village. You were in good health, why didn't you escape?"

"Escape? It's easy to say." Zheng Yuan smiled wryly, "When those people brought me here, they blindfolded me and didn't let me know the route. If you get lost, you have to give up."

"I see... But it's strange that you choose to stay here." Xie Yan said, "There are so many contagious patients here, why don't you go out by groping, maybe you can find a way out!"

Speaking of this, Zheng Yuan was silent.

I saw a cloud of black mist slowly rising from the girl's body, and finally turned into the image of a young man, presumably it was Zheng Yuan.He watched the little girl collapsed on the ground after the release, and said slowly, "Immortal, do you know how miserable the lives of the patients here are?"

Xie Yan recalled the horrible scene he saw when he first entered the village, nodded and said, "I've seen it a little bit, this place is indeed like a hell on earth."

"I wanted to leave as well, but those people who lost their hands and feet begged me to save them, I really couldn't bear it, so I just left."

"So..." Xie Yan thought of something, looked at Zheng Yuan in surprise, and speculated, "The reason why you stayed was to take care of those patients? Then you got sick later, is it also because of this?"

Zheng Yuan nodded, his body was translucent, and his expression could not be seen clearly, "Immortal, do you think I am stupid?"

"It's not stupid at all." Before Xie Yan could say anything, Yun Yiyuan said, "You do this kind of thing that benefits the world and the people to accumulate merit, and it's a great thing!"

"But my strength alone is limited after all." Zheng Yuan said, his voice obviously sad. People control us. I went around to look for wild vegetables and wild fruits, but I couldn't save these patients. I watched them die one by one, but I was powerless, powerless!"

If one person wants to save the entire Pifeng Village, not to mention that an ordinary person like Zheng Yuan cannot do it, even a Taoist immortal may not be able to do it.It can be seen that Zheng Yuan is really kind-hearted, but it is unimaginable that such a kind-hearted person would do such a harmful thing now!

Xie Yan was puzzled, looked at Zheng Yuan, and expressed his inner doubts, "You have such a good heart, why did you go to harm others later?"

"People in the village went one by one, and I also got sick. I watched my hands and feet slowly fester. The pain and despair made me suffer every day. When I was dying, I didn't know if it was my hallucination. A voice keeps telling me that I want to take revenge..." Zheng Yuan said, looking at the mother and daughter again.

"What kind of voice is it?" Yun Yiyuan asked.

"It's a man's voice. I can't tell the age. He just keeps telling me to take revenge, and he also said that resentment will turn into my strength and get out of here..." Zheng Yuan said.

"This is definitely not your hallucination." Xin Xi frowned, "You are an ordinary person, how can you know what kind of grievances, fearing that some evil spirits are heretics, and you want to use the innocent souls here to practice some sorcery."

"If this is the case, wouldn't it be too scary!" Xie Yan looked terrified, "There are so many people who died of illness here, if the wronged souls gather to take revenge on others, it will be a big deal!"

"Ding dong! Congratulations to the player for starting the main mission 'The Dead Are Gone'. After completing the mission, there will be a lot of reward points and skill points!" The sweet voice of the system came suddenly at this moment, scaring Xie Yan again. jumped.

What kind of mission...isn't it a branch this time?Is it the mainline?Only then did Xie Yan realize that I had only completed 20% of the main mission. Do I have to finish all the main missions before I can complete the mission?But I already know who my body is, isn't this the ultimate requirement of the mission?Also, if I don't pick up the previous sub-quest "The Wind is a Disaster", wouldn't I be unable to receive the main quest at all?

What an insidious system!Xie Yan thought bitterly.

"If the player fulfills the final requirement first, the main quest will end earlier." The system said, with an inexplicable sense of mystery in the voice, "Dear player, do you really think that you are Xie Yao?"

What do you mean?Xie Yan was stunned, could it be that I was wrong?Where did this Xin Xi come from?

"The charm of the game is that players need to explore every plot, please complete the task on time." The system did not answer Xie Yan's question, but said such an ambiguous sentence.

Well, I thought I had reached the end of the mission, but I didn't expect to take a fork in the road.Xie Yan was extremely powerless, and looked at Xin Xi with a serious face. During the time when Xie Yan was talking with the system, Xin Xi kept talking, but Xie Yan didn't listen to a word.

"So senior brother, according to my analysis just now, we should purify the grievances here, and not allow those who are interested to take advantage of this opportunity to harm the world with sorcery!" Xin Xi concluded and looked at Xie Yan.

"Purify? How to purify?" Yun Yiyuan said, "The people here are not evil people, innocent people died of illness, and they already have deep resentment. If they use extraordinary means, it will only deepen the resentment!"

"So, what's the master nephew's opinion?" Xin Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at Yun Yiyuan and said.

"I..." Yun Yiyuan was at a loss for words, his face wrinkled, and it seemed that he couldn't think of anything for a while.

"Okay, fine, of course purification has to be done." Xie Yan glanced at the two of them and said, "I have a good way to purify."

"What is it?" Xin Xi and Yun Yiyuan asked in unison.

"Listen well, this method has been passed down through the ages and will last for a long time, that is—" Xie Yan deliberately raised his head and said with an inscrutable look,

"Mouth escape."
