Chapter 219 The reason

Chapter 219 Reason

The architecture of the ancient village is simple and thick, containing profound historical heritage.

The stone slabs under my feet have gone through many ups and downs, and are now polished and shiny.

The ancient trees on both sides are as tall as the sky, and their crowns are huge. They block the skylight like a canopy, making this road look eerie.

Coupled with the pairs of eyes hiding at the door of the home or behind the windows, it is really uncomfortable.

Lin Zheng was very strange in his heart, why is there such a road in the village?

Don't they feel eerie?

There is another very special place. This village is extremely quiet. It is not like Lin Zheng’s hometown at all. As soon as you enter the village, you can hear chickens crowing and dogs barking, and everything is full of life.

In comparison, the outside of this village is much better than the inside.

Outside the village, the fields are criss-crossed with ridges and ridges, and beautiful rapeseed flowers bloom in patches, which is particularly pleasing to the eye.

But the village is full of weirdness and gloom.

Although he was full of doubts in his heart, he kept Ji Li Meiyue's advice in mind and did not dare to ask any more questions. However, he kept quietly paying attention to the surrounding situation with his eyes.

He saw that many local residents were hiding at home, quietly paying attention to him and Jili Meiyue, and did not come out to say hello.

This is very different from ordinary villages.

In this way, we walked all the way to the center of the village, where there was a five-story wooden attic. The wood paint was a bit old and dilapidated, but many of the carved patterns were extremely clear.

Ji Li Meiyue walked directly to the door of the attic, then knelt on the ground piously and respectfully, and whispered: "Mother-in-law, Yue'er has returned with the noble lady."

Lin Zheng stood behind him, thinking to himself that the noble person Ji Li Meiyue mentioned should be him.

Obviously, Ji Li Meiyue's invitation to her was approved by her mother-in-law.

"Please come in, noble man!"

After a while, a hoarse woman's voice came from inside.

"yes."

Ji Li Meiyue responded immediately, then stood up and led Lin Zheng into the attic.

The attic was still a bit eerie, perhaps because the sky was getting darker. The light in the room was very dark, and the air had an inexplicable coldness.

"Ka! Ka!"

The wooden stick was placed on the ground and made a series of sounds.

Lin Zheng looked along the sound and soon saw a hunched, short, silver-haired old woman slowly walking out of a small door at the back.

The old woman wore a black veil on her head, hiding her true face and looking mysterious.

Although Lin Zheng has the ability to see in the dark, he cannot see things if it is blocked. After all, he is not a clairvoyant.

"Dear guest, please take a seat."

The old woman walked closer and said to Lin Zheng in a kind voice.

"Thank you, old man."

Lin Zheng thanked him and sat down cross-legged on the mat in front of him.

The old woman sat down under the service of Ji Li Meiyue, and then Ji Li Meiyue left the attic.

"I heard from my little Yue'er that you know how to cure poison?"

The old woman got straight to the point and asked directly.

Lin Zheng pondered for a moment and replied cautiously: "Old man, there are many kinds of poisons, and I can't guarantee that there are ways to treat them all.

Just like Meiyue's lover's poison, I can only help her delay the onset of the poison, but I can't eradicate it yet."

"you are too humble.

Xiao Yue'er's lover's poison is one of the most powerful poisons in our ancient village for hundreds of years. You were able to delay the onset of the poison for twenty years, which is an unprecedented feat."

The old woman said with some praise.

Lin Zhengdao: "I'm sorry, I'm just a blind cat who encountered a dead mouse."

"Maybe Xiaoyue'er has told you that I have been infected by a strange poisonous poison. So far, I have not determined which kind of poison it is. I invited you here this time just with the idea of ​​treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

, so you don’t need to have any psychological baggage, no matter whether there is any way or not, Guzhai and the old lady owe you a favor."

The old woman said.

"Mei Yue and I are good friends, so as long as I can help, I will do my best."

Lin Zheng assured.

“So very good.

Then I’ll trouble you.”

As the old woman spoke, she stretched out her arms from her black robe.

Lin Zheng took a closer look and was immediately startled. He saw that the old woman's arm was blood red, and there were snake-like patterns on the skin. It looked like a fire snake.

"Don't be afraid, this is what I gradually became like after being poisoned.

Based on what I've learned about this mysterious poison over the years, I'm afraid I'm already terminally ill and won't be able to survive for a few days."

The old woman said calmly.

"Old man, can you tell me in detail that you have been poisoned and the changes over the years?"

Lin Zheng touched the old woman's arm, and a cold feeling penetrated into the spinal cord, as if he had touched an ice cube.

The old woman nodded and said: "That was the second year after I became the great wizard of my clan. It has been thirty-five years since then..."

"You were tortured for thirty-five years?"

Lin Zheng said in shock.

The old woman said calmly: "I'm used to it now.

I was only seventeen years old at that time, still a young girl in my prime. However, my master suddenly disappeared mysteriously. He was neither alive nor dead, so the clan could not live without wizards, so I had no choice but to accept this position.

Everything went well at first, but gradually, the people in the village developed a strange disease. They were afraid of light and heat. When they stood in the sun, their skin would actually burn. One person was burned alive in front of me.

.”

After hearing these words, Lin Zheng couldn't help but ask: "The main road I took when I came in from outside just now was blocked by big trees. Is it because of this reason?"

"Those trees have always been there, but it is indeed because of this strange disease that everyone lives in old houses on both sides of this street. We also have a new village, but it is now abandoned."

The old woman nodded and said.

Lin Zheng nodded and said, "Apart from photophobia and heat fear, are there any other problems?"

"Yes, my skin has undergone amazing changes, but other people's changes are not as dramatic as mine.

Nearly half of the population in the village has died over the years, all because of this strange disease.

But the strange thing is that although I was tortured, I never died."

The old woman said.

After hearing this, Lin Zheng asked strangely: "Old man, could it be that the village has offended someone?"

The old woman shook her head and said: "We also guessed this before, but the people in our ancient village are simple and honest, and no one has any grudges with the outside world. I have never even left the village."

"What about your master?

Did he mysteriously disappear for no reason?

Could it be related to his disappearance?"

Lin Zheng speculated.

"We have also suspected this reason, but there is no evidence to prove it.

Besides, this kind of strange disease or poison has never been seen by even a wizard like me, which is very strange.

You must know that we wizards specialize in voodoo arts. Although I don’t say that I have mastered them all, my voodoo skills are among the best in a hundred miles around. There is absolutely no way that anyone can be better than me."

The old woman said confidently.
