Homecoming through online games

=====================

Ye Mu didn't come here for the quest system originally, so when he saw the prompt, he was a little surprised.This task information provided a piece of information - the child of Jelly Jelly was indeed "epidemic".

...However, how reliable is the information provided by this "system"?

He stood in the courtyard, looking around.

In a corner of the courtyard, there is a wooden cart tilted, which is probably used by Mrs. Jelly for her daily sunrise stall. You can see that there are many sundries on it.Ye Mu held his breath and went over to check it out. It was nothing more than some common seasonings and side dishes at jelly stalls.The used bowls and chopsticks were piled up in a mess, and it seemed that they had not been cleaned for a long time, and the original porcelain white color of the sea bowls could hardly be seen.Nothing to call attention to.

Ye Mu muttered a word of trouble, and walked into the main room.It can be seen that the owner's family left in a hurry, the clothes were spread out in a mess, and some fell to the ground.The colors are all unexpectedly simple, black, white, brown...it hardly looks like a woman's clothing.

It was just a fleeting feeling, and after confirming that there was nothing he wanted to look for in this room, Ye Mu withdrew and walked towards the stove next to the main room.

As soon as the front foot stepped into the door, something flew up in the kitchen. Ye Mu quickly stepped forward to catch it, but it was a cooing reed hen.The two paws are kicking wildly, and they seem to be full of energy.The blown feathers were covered with chaff, and fell to the ground as the hen struggled.

Ye Mu followed the scattered grains and saw a cloth bag fell to the ground.The mouth of the bag was open, and half of the bag of grains spilled out, with a few chicken feathers on it.He walked over, squatted down and picked up a grain of chaff, pulled out the package and compared it with the glass bottles he brought back.

—It’s buckwheat.

[Order in danger] Jing An entrusts you to investigate the source of the recent epidemic in the city.

【Task progress】50/100

[Current Status] It seems that buckwheat is the cause of the epidemic, and you can go to Jing'an for business.But the mutated buckwheat field is still interesting, should we continue to investigate?

Letting go of the hen he was carrying and letting it flutter away, Ye Mu turned out of the courtyard and knocked on the door of the neighbor's house.

According to the clues I got, I went around the street again, and finally confirmed that all the buckwheat bought in this town on weekdays is indeed produced in the nearby buckwheat field, and Mrs. Jelly's house is no exception.Ye Mu returned to the courtyard, tied up the hen, and put it together with the small half bag of buckwheat into a black cloth bag.Calling out Chasing the Wind, he tied the bag on the horse's back, Ye Mu got on the horse, and walked all the way to the outside of the town.

Calling up the map, his eyes fell on the spot of light on the yellow willow.

Huang Yangliu once told him that after Wen Zhuang lied to her, she used her child to test the medicine.But Wen Zhuang's argument was that Huang Yangliu begged him hard, so he reluctantly took care of it.Regarding the two different arguments, he was not without doubts at the beginning, so he also made some insinuations when he visited Huang Yangliu.But Huang Yangliu's mood was not stable at that time, and the information she could ask was limited. At one time, she cried and said that Wenzhuang "pretended" to be a disciple of the medicine department, and at another time she said that she should not go to the doctor in a hurry because she believed that the disciples of the poison department could save her child. The rhetoric was very contradictory, and he couldn't get to the bottom of it.After Huang Yangliu recovered from his illness, he also mentioned a little out of caution, but Huang Yangliu said sadly that it was all a misunderstanding that she had fainted at the time. In the final analysis, it was her own fault. It's no wonder that the retribution of others.It was related to other people's pain, so he put the matter aside.However, just in case, she temporarily left her map mark and returned an earring with an excuse.

... In the game, there is jewelry in the character equipment, including earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, and jade pendants.Thanks to the thoughtful game artist, these things are the same as the armor of the mask of the Palace of Seven Kills, even if it is equipped on the character, you can choose to hide it and not show it in the character image.It saved Ye Mu from the embarrassment of waking up to find that he had a few ear piercings on his body.This is also the main reason why he has not been able to make up his mind to study the equipment system to get back his lost mask... Compared with being forced to automatically have two more ear piercings, not having a mask is definitely not a big deal.

The earring he gave away was a replacement he found in his own warehouse.The equipment in the Hall of Seven Kills all had some anti-drug properties, and he gave this to Huang Yangliu because he still had doubts in his heart and was doing his best.

When I look at the map now, Huang Yangliu is far away from this town, and it seems to be going to the hinterland of Xiliang, and everything is fine.It seems that he was just thinking too much, but when Huang Yangliu was receiving special treatment that night, Gu Xingyan left his room rarely, and came outside the courtyard, could it be out of pure concern?

In any case, Baicaotang needs to be informed about the land mutation.Baicaotang has been in Xiliang for many years, and his understanding of Xiliang and the familiarity with plants are beyond his reach.As for the mastermind behind the land mutation, we can also take the opportunity to test it out.

Thinking of this, Ye Mu rode his horse directly to Baicao Hall.

Compared with the atmosphere in Baicao Hall when he left, there was a clear difference.

The disciples whispered to each other in groups of three or four with secretive expressions, and they were clearly distinguished by the color of the clothes they were wearing.The disciple of the poison department guarding the door saw Ye Mu who should have left and returned, but he just raised his eyelids and glanced at the black cloth bag that was constantly agitating and struggling in his hand, and asked Without a single sound, he was allowed to walk into the gate of the villa.

This made things easier for Ye Mu.Glancing at the two light spots on the map representing Wenzhuang and Jing An, he stopped a few Baicao Hall disciples who had talked with him several times, and after asking where Jing An was, he restrained his breath and headed all the way there On the way, I also more or less heard the origin of the sinister atmosphere in the hall.

Wen Zhuang and a group of disciples of the poison department have become the target of public criticism, which Ye Mu never expected.He gathered his mind and concentrated on solving the current matter - he stopped in front of the largest building in the villa, and he said hello to the medicine student guarding the gate: "I have something to do with Jing An, is he there?"

A person quickly circled around behind the screen in the hall, but it was Wen Zhuang who strode over with a residual anger on his face.He nodded to Ye Mu, and couldn't help but glance at the moving black cloth bag, stepped aside, and said in a deep voice, "Come in and talk."

Ye Mu walked into the hall with his pockets in his hands, and after bypassing the screen, the situation in the hall was displayed in front of his eyes at a glance.

A long table big enough to seat dozens of people was placed in the hall. At this time, the chairs were all empty, and only Jing An sat by the table and pressed his forehead.Hearing the sound, he looked up and saw Ye Mu, so he stood up and greeted him: "Young Xia Ye, has things progressed since you came here this time?" Then he said to Wen Zhuang, "Wen Zhuang, we'll talk about that matter later. Discussion." The tone is rare and unquestionable.

Wen Zhuang went to the table, pulled out a chair and sat down, and asked Ye Mu, "What's the matter?"

Ignoring Jing An's words, it was obvious that his anger was still lingering.

Ye Mu didn't worry about this either. After signaling to Jing An, he found a chair and pulled it up to sit.Seeing Jing An's appearance, it was obvious that he had no intention of avoiding Wen Zhuang, so he said bluntly: "I have a clue about what I was looking for last time."

"I didn't find any traces of a large number of monsters around here. The corpse was probably made by a single monster that wandered here by accident. It should be just an accident and has nothing to do with this epidemic."

With the exception of Jiang Wang, the monsters had always displayed eye-catching red dots on his map, and such dots had never appeared on the map these days.He also asked Jia Luo to check it in the air, and the answer he got was that even the nearest place of war was quite a distance from Xiliang, and it was impossible to reach it in just a few days.He thought about the possibility of demons sneaking in, but in the buckwheat field, the map still showed nothing unusual, and there was nothing that could be called a secret passage or an underground cave.

Jing An said seriously: "If that's the case, it's a blessing. Ye Shaoxia must have found other clues? Jing An would like to hear more about it."

"I'm not sure whether this matter is related to the epidemic in the city, after all, Baicaotang is an expert in seeing a doctor and diagnosing the pulse." Ye Mu said flatly, "However, there is one thing that shocked me. The place where the demon stays will be infected with demonic energy. I have not found a large number of demons in the Xiliang area, but the demonic energy in this land is increasing." As he said this, he did not let go of the relationship between the two. expression.

consternation.Wen Zhuang changed his sloppy look and straightened up with a serious face.Jing An even stood up directly, holding the table with his hand, leaning forward, staring at Ye Mu and confirming in a serious tone: "This matter is of great importance, Ye Shaoxia's words are serious?" There was a rare coldness in his voice .

With a sudden change in his mind, Ye Mu nodded to him and said, "There is nothing wrong. The buckwheat field outside the nearby town is the most serious, where the devilish energy is extremely rare even in the battlefield. The strange thing is , Under such circumstances, the villagers there are still safe and sound, and the plants look normal at first glance, but a lot of various small bugs have died. What happened."

Jing An pondered and said: "I happen to know the place Ye Shaoxia mentioned. A few days ago, there was a pest infestation there, so I let the disciples of the poison department go for a while to exorcise the insects. When investigating the source of the epidemic, we also had some disciples come to I checked there, but the report only said that the plague of insects has been eliminated, and no other abnormalities were found. Now it seems that it is necessary to confirm again."

Ye Mu's expression changed, and he asked, "I don't know the name of the disciple of the poison department who went to exorcise the insects at that time? I want to ask him about the situation that day, maybe I will gain something."

Jing An paused for a moment, obviously remembering, Wen Zhuang, who had been silently listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly said, "The disciple who went there at that time was called Gu Xingyan."

The two looked at him, and Jing An suddenly said, "That's right, the person who went there was Gu Xingyan." He said to Ye Mu, "Gu Xingyan should be in the villa right now, I'll send someone to come over immediately."

Wen Zhuang stood up and said, "Don't bother calling for someone, I'll just go."

"Stay here." Ye Mu called Wen Zhuang who was about to leave, "There is one thing that I am a little puzzled about. I wonder if you can explain it to me."

Wen Zhuang stopped, looked at Ye Mu, and said, "Speak."

"This matter, I'm just guessing—after all, Baicaotang is an expert in seeing a doctor and taking a pulse." Ye Mu looked at Wenzhuang, repeated what he said just now, and carried the black cloth bag to the table "I just have some doubts. Huang Yangliu sells jelly for a living. The ingredients for her jelly come from that buckwheat field. Her son fell ill, followed by herself, and those symptoms seem to be similar to the recent epidemic. Similar. I don’t know if there is any connection between the two?”

There was a silence in the hall.For some reason, neither Jing An nor Wen Zhuang spoke for a while.

After a while, Wen Zhuang sneered and broke the silence.He said: "As expected of the Palace of Seven Kills. We were discussing this matter before you came. Yes, the two have the same origin, but the degree is different."
