I am cultivating an immortal in the game arena

Chapter 279 [View of Xuannv]

The village is not far away, that is, a hundred miles away, and for Zhang Jun, it arrives in a blink of an eye.

Riding the Feiyun Gourd, suspended in mid-air, Zhang Jun lowered his head to observe the village carefully.

I saw that the village was surrounded by dense forests, dark and deep.

The entrance to the village is a tall stone gate with two stone statues carved on it, which seem to depict two ancient gods, or the patron saints of the village here.

The two giant-like figures seemed majestic at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one could see that the statues also had strange sarcomas. They felt less like gods and more like patients in the oncology department.

Zhang Jun fell from the sky, collected the Feiyun Gourd, and walked into the village.

There are scattered houses on both sides of the village streets, but the doors and windows of each house are tightly closed, as if they are full of deep fear of the outside world.

But Zhang Jun would hear some strange sounds coming from those houses.

The low roar sounded like a beast, as if it was telling something.

Across the door, Zhang Jun couldn't tell whether they were humans or ghosts.

"Buzz!"

At this time, a door in front was gently pushed open, and half of a pale face poked out from behind the gap.

He looked at Zhang Jun with alert eyes: "Who are you and what are you doing in our village!"

"I am a passerby. I accidentally wandered into this place and got lost. I saw a village here and wanted to ask for directions."

After hearing Zhang Jun's words, the old man opened the door and waved to Zhang Jun to come in.

Zhang Jun silently looked at the old man's house with his dark eyes. Apart from the strangeness, there was nothing dangerous about it, so he walked into the house.

After entering the house, Zhang Jun saw the whole picture of the old man. His left thigh was covered with tumors, and the muscles on it were one after another, like sweet potatoes that had just been pulled out of the ground. You could clearly see the swollen skin and flesh. , thick muscles.

"sit down."

The old man pointed to the stool, and after Zhang Jun sat down, he looked at Zhang Jun carefully. When he saw that there was nothing abnormal about Zhang Jun, the old man sighed: "Foreigner, listen to me, go back to where you came from. Go ahead, this place is not safe.”

It can be seen that the old man seems to have good intentions.

But this world has been polluted, where can I go?

So he asked: "Old man, can you tell me what happened here? Why do you have these things on your body!"

"Hey, who knows, the whole world is like this. I don't know when it started. We have this thing in our body as soon as we are born. It can't be cured at all. I can only go to the city every month to ask Wong Tai Sin to sprinkle fairy water on it. , can relieve our pain.”

"Wong Tai Sin, fairy water?"

Zhang Jun quickly asked: "Is Wong Tai Sin's fairy water so magical?"

"Well, just one sip will make all diseases disappear, and my legs will return to normal. Each time I drink it, it will last for three days. Rich people can drink it often, but we can only buy a little bit. I don’t want to drink it at all.”

"Old man, do you still have fairy water at home? I am willing to buy it at a high price."

Zhang Jun fumbled with his sleeve as he spoke and took out a silver lump from it.

Seeing the silver pimples on the table, the old man's eyes widened. He quickly reached out to cover it in his arms and wiped it a few times. Then he bit it with his teeth. After confirming that it was silver, he looked at Zhang Jun with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes." , you wait a moment, wait a moment."

As the old man said this, he stood up and walked towards the kitchen. After a while, he brought a small gourd over and placed it on the table.

"This is fairy water, but it doesn't taste good and is a bit bitter. Just drink it and I'm sure the medicine will cure your illness in a moment."

Then he handed the gourd to Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun took the gourd and opened the stopper, and a pungent smell came out.

He glanced inside the gourd, then put the gourd on the table. He was not in a hurry to drink, but continued to ask about Wong Tai Sin.

The old man did not hide anything and told everything about Wong Tai Sin.

It is said that he believed in Xuannv Empress and was protected by Xuannv Empress.

Every month, boys and girls, young and handsome men, and beautiful women must be offered to the Empress Xuannv to serve the Empress Xuannv.

"But Huang Daxian also watches what people do. If he gives you enough money, he will also get you an amulet from Xuannv. With that thing on your body, you no longer have to worry about becoming like me. .”

Speaking of this, the old man sighed.

In this world, those who have money are more comfortable than gods, but those who have no money find it difficult to survive.

After saying that, he looked at the gourd and said, "Drink it quickly. The effect of this fairy water will be compromised as soon as it sees the light."

"it is good!"

Zhang Jun nodded, took the gourd in his hand, raised his head and drank the so-called fairy water inside.

Only after shaking the gourd and not a drop of the fairy water was gone, did he return the gourd to the old man.

"Old man, how can we go to that city to find Wong Tai Sin?"

"It's not far, not far. Go east, climb the mountains, cross the river, and walk another thirty miles to get there, but..."

"Just what??"

Seeing the embarrassment on the old man's face, Zhang Jun hurriedly asked.

The old man lowered his head, looked at his feet, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "It's just that you can't go."

"Why?" Zhang Jun said and stood up, but suddenly felt dizzy. With a bang, he sat back on the chair, raised his head, twitched all over, covered his lower abdomen with one hand, and finally fell unconscious on the table. personnel.

"Why?" The old man seemed accustomed to this. He looked at Zhang Jun who was lying on the table and said to himself: "There is a way to heaven but you don't take it. There is no door to hell and you break in. My child, you see He is a young master from a rich family, but he doesn’t know our sufferings. Now that he is here, let him stay. Seeing that you are fair and fair, and because of the money, you will be indispensable for food and clothing in the future."

After speaking, the old man opened the door.

After a while, three or five people came from outside.

There were men and women. They gathered around Zhang Jun and took a look, and they all grinned.

These people are more or less infected with strange power, some have deformed heads, and some have belly as big as a pregnant woman.

Everyone came forward to look at Zhang Jun.

"Okay, okay, you look fair, and you look like you belong to a rich family. Let's agree that this time it's my girl's turn."

As the man with a neck as thick as a bucket said, he pulled his girl out from behind.

The girl's face was covered with black tumors, some of which had been scratched and oozing with pus and blood.

But everyone has become accustomed to this.

Even the girl said bluntly: "I think he is not an ordinary person. Why don't I cut off both arms first and serve them to the village elders and others."

"Girl Song is sensible, so let's do this. Leave him two legs first. If he dares to run away, he won't have any legs left. Just leave him a helper."

Everyone said that they were ready to take action.

"Hey, hey, what are you in a hurry? Take off your clothes first. I'm afraid these clothes are worth a lot of money."

"exactly."

Everyone was talking about it and were about to reach out to catch Zhang Jun, but at this moment, Zhang Jun's eyes suddenly opened.

"boom!!"

A bolt of lightning suddenly exploded over the village.

Immediately after this bolt of lightning began to spread in all directions, the next second it turned the entire village to the ground.

"Whoosh!"

In the lightning, Zhang Jun's figure suddenly shot up into the clouds, heading straight towards the town to the east.

About a stick of incense time.

When Zhang Jun flew over a mountain in the direction the old man said, he saw an ancient city in the distance.

This time he did not rush inside, but would observe silently with his dark eyes.

This city is very large. Judging from its scale, it is not difficult to see that it was once glorious and bustling.

But now, this city seems to have experienced a cruel baptism of war and has become dilapidated and depressed, like a ruin forgotten by time.

On the streets, people wearing shabby clothes can be seen everywhere.Their clothes were in tatters and their faces were haggard, as if they had experienced endless suffering and pain.

There was a dull and depressing atmosphere in the air.

Although the flames of war have been extinguished, people's faces are full of worry and uneasiness, as if they are ready to face new disasters at any time.

The houses on both sides of the street are dilapidated, with broken doors and windows, mottled walls, and bricks and rubble strewn on the ground.

The buildings that were once shops, inns, and temples are now unrecognizable from their original appearance.

They survived the war, but were gradually worn away by the erosion of time.

When Zhang Jun observed the city with his dark eyes, he was surprised to find that there was very little weirdness in the city.

It can't even be compared with the strangeness in the forest, not even one-tenth of that in the village.

In other words, even ordinary people living here will not be contaminated by the evil spirit immediately, but will slowly become evil as time passes.

This result was beyond Zhang Jun's expectation.

But when he took a closer look, he found that a main road in the city divided the entire city into two.

The upper part of the city is relatively clean and tidy. Everyone on the streets looks haggard, but there is no serious deformation on their bodies.

On the other hand, looking at the part below the streets, it would be an understatement to say it is hell on earth.

Most of the residents inside have been transformed.

Their bodies were horribly bloated, and some of their limbs were even deformed, making them unable to walk or stand.

Zhang Jun carefully examined the city in front of him for a moment and discovered the clue.

It turns out that after entering the city, most of the strange energy from outside was absorbed by the people in the lower half of the city. The remaining strange energy was blocked by an invisible force before it could rush through the streets.

It's a formation!
With Zhang Jun's current strength, it can be seen at a glance that someone has manipulated him.

With the help of the knowledge in the Intermediate Formation Encyclopedia, he discovered that the source of this formation was actually in a vermilion Taoist temple rising from the ground in the center of the city.

There is a plaque hanging on the Taoist temple, with three words clearly written on it [Xuannv Temple]
