When the people around them learned that Lu Chen and his party were reinforcements sent by the Liuyun Sword Sect, their attitudes suddenly changed 180 degrees, and their faces that were originally full of murderous intent showed a look of awe.
The crowd automatically separated into a lane, and Liu Fen led Murong Ziyun and his party through several alleys and came to an antique ancestral hall with blue bricks and green tiles, small bridges and flowing water, which gave it the feel of a wealthy family.
This ancestral hall has always been dedicated to famous ancestors who have made contributions to Longyang Gang. However, at this moment, mourning people are everywhere inside, and they are screaming in agony.
After entering the ancestral hall, Lu Chen and others found that there were injured people lying on the ground everywhere, including old people and young children. Their cheeks, arms, and thighs were covered with erosive scars, and they were sometimes nauseated.
Green liquid flowed out, which was shocking. Some women held ointment in their hands and kept passing between the injured to apply it, causing the temple to be filled with a pungent smell of ointment and a stench that filled the sky.
"What on earth is going on?" At this situation, Murong Ziyun could no longer bear the doubts in her heart.
Liu Feng sighed bitterly: "This is all caused by the damn drought!"
"There really are drought demons in Longyang Gang!" Murong Ziyun couldn't help but ask.
Liu Feng nodded and said: "Indeed, I don't believe in ghosts and gods. I have witnessed it three times before, and I really have to believe that there are drought demons committing crimes!"
"What does the Hanbao look like? Look, it scares you people so much that they are almost scared to death." Jiang Shaoling crossed his hands and joked.
Liu Feng looked gloomy and said in a serious tone: "Legend has it that the Drought Demon is the result of the grievances of heaven and earth. There is a zombie in our area of Longyanggang. It has a green face and fangs, white hair and blood-stained pupils, can walk as fast as flying, and is invulnerable to weapons and bullets. It is a real monster.
I don’t know what happened to Longyanggang, because we were stared at by this damn drought demon. At first, there were only one or two villagers missing in Longyanggang occasionally, but as time goes by, more and more villagers are missing.
The more people there are, the more people in Longyanggang will be panicked and on tenterhooks!"
"Especially in recent times, the drought demon has become even more violent. At night, it brazenly comes to our Longyanggang to arrest people, eat them and kill them. I have no choice but to report this matter to the city lord of Wuxi County.
Then he will report it to Liuyun Sword Sect!"
Murong Ziyun looked solemn and said: "The sect has long been aware of the occurrence of drought demons in Longyanggang, so it sent four fellow disciples to deal with the matter, but the result was heavy damage. What is going on!"
Liu Feng let out a long sigh, showing an expression that was difficult to explain, while leading everyone to the inside of the ancestral hall: "Everyone, we have been traveling all the way, and we are tired and tired. Let's take a sip of tea to moisten our throats first. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."
Murong Ziyun nodded, not in a hurry, and followed Liu Feng into the inner hall of the ancestral hall.
At this moment, a young man curled up in the corner of the room suddenly began to twitch violently, sweating profusely, and foaming at the mouth. The young woman who applied the ointment was so frightened that she almost lost her mind, and immediately shouted: "Come on, come on."
Man, Xiaofei is dying!"
Lu Chen, who happened to be passing by, heard this and quickly rushed over, lifted up the other party's clothes and investigated the situation.
The moment he opened the clothes on the boy's chest, Lu Chen was shocked. He suddenly found a hematoma the size of a baby's fist bulging in the other person's heart. Blood threads spread around the hematoma, which was extremely terrifying. Moreover, the boy's lips were black.
Blue and white eyes are obviously signs of poisoning!
"Sister-in-law Liang, do you have silver needles and spirits here?" Lu Chen said to the young woman next to him with a serious expression.
The young woman said with a panicked look: "Yes, yes, I'll get ready right now!"
Murong Ziying and the others looked at this scene in amazement. They couldn't help but stop and turned around to look this way.
After a while, the young woman walked to Lu Chen with a plate on which she prepared towels, silver needles, spirits, and white candles.
Lu Chen lit the white candle, sprinkled the silver needle with liquor, sterilized it with the candle flame, and then carefully twisted the silver needle and inserted it into the hematoma on the boy's chest. He inserted four needles in a row before stopping.
After the silver needle was inserted into the hematoma, the hematoma turned black and shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye. A trail of black liquid was left from the small hole where the silver needle was inserted. The stench was so overwhelming that the young woman next to him couldn't help but cover her nose.
Soon, the young man stopped twitching and had chills, and his expression became much normal, just a little pale.
"He's fine. I'll write you a prescription later. Take the medicine according to the prescription, simmer it for two hours, boil three bowls of water into one bowl and give it to him!" Lu Chen said gently.
The young woman nodded gratefully: "Thank you, my benefactor!"
Lu Chen stood up and was shocked to find Murong Ziyun and others staring at him with surprised eyes.
"Do you know medical skills?" Murong Ziyun asked in surprise.
Lu Chen answered more modestly: "I know a little bit!"
"Very good, I have a friend who is also proficient in medical skills. He comes from the famous 'Ji Shi Pavilion'. I can introduce you to him some other time!" Murong Ziyun nodded, with approval in her eyes.
"You are talking about Tang Yun, the eldest lady of Wushuang City, we have known each other before!" Lu Chen didn't hide anything about this.
Murong Ziyun's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, and a touching smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Really, then you are really destined!"
Hearing Murong Ziyun praising Lu Chen, Jiang Shaoling on the side became a little unhappy and said with disdain: "Jianghu tricks!"
"If you stop saying a few words, we might have to rely on Lu Chen to solve our trouble this time!" Murong Ziyun glanced at Jiang Shaoling and couldn't help scolding him.
Jiang Shaoling said angrily: "It's just him, huh, I'd rather pray to God and worship Buddha!"
Murong Ziyun sighed secretly, not wanting to waste any more words with Jiang Shaoling, she turned around and walked towards the inner hall of the ancestral hall.
After entering the ancestral hall, the mayor of Longyanggang immediately ordered his servants to watch tea, and also brought many fruits and snacks.
"Mayor, please tell me in detail what happened just now!" Murong Ziyun sat on the chair and looked at Liu Feng elegantly.
The two Jiang Shaoling brothers were probably very hungry, and they were all focused on those fruits and snacks. Only Lu Chen sat quietly aside, with an attitude of listening attentively.
"Since Wuxi County reported this matter to Liuyun Sword Sect, four sword sect disciples with high martial arts skills have indeed been sent over. I originally expected them to help Longyang Gang eliminate disasters. But who would have thought that the result was unexpected?
!" Liu Feng sighed leisurely, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Murong Ziyun asked: "What was the result?"
"It's a coincidence that you said this. On the first day you disciples of the Sword Sect came, Hanba happened to show up in the town that night, and the two sides immediately started a fierce battle. However, the strength of the two sides was very different. The disciples of the Sword Sect were not at all.
As a result, three people were seriously injured by the drought demon, and one person died, hey!" Liu Feng said truthfully, as if the scene of that day was vivid in his mind.
"That Drought Demon is so terrifying that it can seriously injure an elite disciple of my Sword Sect!" Murong Ziyun immediately revealed her deep thoughts after hearing Liu Feng's explanation.
Liu Feng said with a guilty look on his face: "Who says it's not the case? As the mayor, my duty is to protect the safety of the people. If I had prevented this in advance, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation!"
"Mayor, don't panic, the matter will be solved eventually!" Lu Chen comforted with a smile.
Liu Feng forced a smile and said: "That's natural. You are all famous young heroes of the Sword Sect. You will definitely be able to solve problems for Longyang Gang and bring peace to Longyang Gang. I'll leave it to you to deal with the drought!"
"Longyanggang is a territory under the jurisdiction of the Jianzong. If something like this happens, we, as disciples of the Jianzong, are of course bound to do it. It is our duty to solve the problems of the people. Mayor, please rest assured!" Murong Ziyun said in a dignified manner.
Liu Feng nodded repeatedly: "That's very good. Longyang Gang has suffered such a disaster. We really can't bear the devastation!"
"By the way, Mayor, have you seen another Sword Sect disciple coming to Longyang Gang today?" Murong Ziyun seemed to have remembered something and couldn't help but ask.
Liu Feng was stunned and quickly shook his head and said: "I have never seen that since the last incident involving a Jianzong disciple, no outsiders have come to Longyang Gang!"
"What?" Murong Ziyun's beautiful eyes suddenly showed surprise. She clearly remembered what the old woman said before. Ye Ang set off one step ahead because he discovered the traces of the Drought Demon, and then asked everyone to meet up at Longyang Gang.
However, when we arrived at Longyanggang, we didn't find Ye Ang at all, which was really strange!
Ye Ang left without saying goodbye. The whole thing was full of doubts. Murong Ziyun didn't think about it that much before, but now that she thought about it, she realized that there was a big problem along the way. It was scary to think about it.
"Something happened to Senior Brother Ye Ang!" Lu Chen said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, the entire inner hall fell silent instantly.
"It's alarmist, Ye Ang has the eighth level of acquired strength and is ranked in the top 28 in the Heavenly Sword Ranking. How can ordinary people hurt him?" Jiang Shaoling mocked unceremoniously.
Jiang Yue'er also echoed: "What my brother said makes sense. Senior Brother Ye Ang is so strong, there is no way he can do somersaults in such a poor and remote place!"
Lu Chen said calmly: "In this world, there are too many ways to murder a martial arts master, but you have not experienced it!"
"By what you mean, do you mean that our experience is shallow?" Jiang Shaoling sneered, every sentence carrying a barb.
Lu Chen raised his head and glanced at the other party, silently picked up the tea cup and took a sip, not wanting to say any more words!
"Lu Chen, have you discovered anything?" Murong Ziyun looked at him and asked.
"No, I don't know where to start!" Lu Chen shook his head, filled with doubts.
Jiang Yue'er looked worried and said: "Sister, should we report it to the sect and talk about the situation here!" Obviously, Ye Ang's mysterious disappearance cast a shadow on everyone's minds.
"No, we haven't reached that stage yet, don't panic!" Murong Ziyun flatly rejected Jiang Yue'er's proposal, her expression calm. Obviously, she also had her own considerations.
Where did Ye Ang go? He left the black wooden house without saying goodbye and agreed to meet up at Longyanggang. However, when he arrived at Longyanggang, the mayor said he had never seen this person before. There were many contradictions and it was really weird!
