Lin Jue subconsciously took a few steps back. After realizing that there was no threat, he quickly walked up and asked:

"What’s wrong with you?"

"I don't know... vomit... maybe... vomit... maybe I drank unclean water... my stomach was broken..."

The man lay on the ground and said to him while spitting out acidic water and filth.

But if you look closely, you will find that there are some white insect eggs the size of peanuts and some earthworm-like insects mixed in the sour water filth, which looks quite disgusting.

Lin Jue moved away from the things he vomited, patted his back, and observed carefully. After he felt better, he lifted him up and said:

"You are weak, please stop working for the time being. I'll help you go down and rest."

"Many...thank you...vomit..."

The guy was vomiting constantly and couldn't walk steadily.

After the insects landed on the ground, they were still twisting on the ground, like some small snakes.

Even Lin Jue couldn't bear to see it.

The fox was the only one who didn't think there was anything disgusting or scary. He just found it novel. It was novel that so many worms could grow in a person's belly and could be vomited out. So he tilted his head and took a closer look. When the waiter opened his mouth, he immediately jumped up.

He jumped back and easily jumped a few feet away. After the guy finished vomiting, he carefully moved up to take a look.

Fortunately, it likes to be clean, and even has some mysophobia, so it avoids things on the ground when it puts its feet down.

Lin Jue helped the waiter downstairs and let him rest.

I was thinking in my mind, wondering if this was a disease that was unique to one of the guys, or if it was the same in the whole city.

Because it was a bit late now, there was no one in the lobby downstairs, and the door of the inn was closed. Lin Jue thought for a while, then simply went back to the room, picked up his important luggage, opened the door and walked out, not forgetting to say to the waiter:

"This is a bit strange. I'm afraid it's not an ordinary disease. I'm just here, wait for me to go out and take a look."

"Xiao... vomit..."

The clerk also wanted to remind him that there was a curfew, but the Taoist had already walked out. Only the fox stopped at the door and gave him one last curious look.

With a creak, the door closed.

It was late at night outside, the moon was waxing and waning, there was no one on the street, and I had not encountered a night watchman yet. The surrounding houses were almost unlit, making it cold and quiet.

Lin Jue walked alone on the street with his sword in hand.

The fox seemed to be connected with him. Although he walked with him, he walked on the roof ridges, jumped between houses, and looked at the residential streets in the city from a high place.

And it is so light that even if it steps on the tiles, it will not make any sound.

After it jumped from the edge of one roof to another, it didn't know what it saw. It lowered its head and called Lin Jue softly:

"嘤~"

There is a curfew here.

Lin Jue didn't want to attract attention so he walked into the alley and used the dark corners to hide his figure.

Suddenly there was a sporadic sound of footsteps ahead.

The sound of footsteps came from far away, and under the moonlight, two night watch guards could be seen passing by. They had sabers hanging on their waists and lanterns in their hands. However, judging from the lightness of their footsteps, they probably didn't have any skills.

The two chatted and chatted while walking.

"Brother Li..."

"What's wrong?"

"Why do I feel a little cold?"

"A bit cold? It's because of the night breeze, right? Or are you getting old and feeling weak?"

"I don't know. In addition to being cold and feeling a little weak, my stomach is also churning and I'm steaming. I don't know what's going on."

"I guess I'm suffering from a cold. Let's endure it. Anyway, I only walk once a night. If I really can't bear it, let's just go back. It's just a formality. I won't tell the county magistrate."

"..."

The footsteps of the two people gradually faded away, and the sound of their conversations also gradually faded away.

Only then did the Taoist come out.

But then, like a chain reaction, several houses in the surrounding streets lit up their lights. Although the lights were weak, they were still eye-catching at night.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of vomiting coming from all around.

The plague may really be coming.

What kind of plague is this? It spits out worms?

Lin Jue was startled for a moment and then raised his head and looked at the roof.

"Woo?"

The fox jumped down in confusion to listen to him.

"It seems that there is really a plague here. We have to go back and inform the senior brothers and ask them to come quickly. At least we have to ask the fifth senior brother to come quickly."

Lin Jue said to it:

"But you know, even if I take the Shenxing Dan, I can't run as fast as you. Only you can rush back the fastest."

"Um?"

"Can you find senior brother and the others?"

"Can find it!"

The fox rarely spoke again.

"This matter is of great importance and needs someone to live in it. Are you willing to do me this big favor?"

"willing!"

"But this trip is very far and there are mountain roads. There may be monsters on the road, and there may be traps set by hunters. Aren't you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!"

"Very good! You are extremely talented, courageous, and responsible. If you don't become a great demon, who will? But you are still young, so you must be careful along the way and avoid people, gods, monsters, and ghosts."

"Be careful!"

"Remember this place is called Cuiwei." Lin Jue did not forget to tell him.

"Call Cui Wei!"

"Go for it!"

"Go!"

The fox seemed to know that the matter was urgent, or it could not judge it, but it could tell it from Lin Jue's emotions, so without hesitation, he turned around and disappeared into the night.

Lin Jue thought for a moment before walking back to the inn.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the inn, I hesitated again.

After a while, he turned around and walked towards the Chenghuang Temple again.

Although the two priests he met this evening gave him a bad impression and he really didn't want to deal with them anymore, which also affected his perception of the city god, he still decided to go there -

If the plague ghost is still in the city, this city is larger than Quru Biluo. It is almost impossible to find it by one's own strength. Only earth gods like the City God have such ability.

Not long after, we arrived at the Chenghuang Temple.

The temple door has been locked.

Lin Jue looked at the houses next to the temple and could see someone living inside through the door. However, he did not wake up the temple to open the door, which would have taken too much time and would require explanations. Instead, he walked straight forward.

"Things that are harmonious are the same as things."

The Taoist figure actually passed through the door easily.

Then he quickly walked in and entered the main hall.

Reach out your finger! Light the lamp!

A huge light suddenly lit up in the room, illuminating the entire hall.

There are statues of guardian gods on both sides of the gate. There is a long altar in front. The city god stands in the middle, slightly taller than ordinary people. There are two auxiliary officers and military attachés beside him. The statues are about the same size as ordinary people, and there are some on the edges.

There are small statues of minor officials that are only two or three feet tall, including the two fat and thin priests guarding the south gate.

There is an incense burner in front with a few clay cubes and some incense sticks.

Lin Jue glanced around and saw no complete incense sticks. Acting urgently, he picked up three unburned incense sticks, lit them and offered them to him without saying a word:

"I am a Taoist from Yishan in Huizhou, my ancestor was Taoist Banshan, and I am my disciple from Taoist Yunhe. I have something urgent that concerns the livelihood of the people in the city. Please come out and see Cuiwei City God!

"Please come out and see Cuiwei City God!

"Please come out and see Cuiwei City God!"

I shouted three times in a row, but there was no movement at all.

Lin Jue frowned and did not stop.
