You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 119: Tracing the Roots
Caiyi moved closer to the child, squatted down, and looked at the child at eye level.

The child's eyes were dull, and he seemed to be unable to see the surrounding scenery. He could only sniff his nose and asked:

"Dad, Mom? Are you going to buy rouge?"

He looked a little dull, and his thinking and reaction seemed to be slower than his peers. I don't know if it was because of the injury or something else.

Caiyi did not reply, but carefully placed her finger on the child's forehead and gently transferred a little bit of innate true Qi from her body into the child's body.

In just half a breath, Caiyi's face turned ugly.

The bones and internal organs are almost the same as those of dogs. This is the ultimate in transforming humans into dogs.

The child turned his head blankly and subconsciously tried to avoid Caiyi's fingers.

"Aunt, do you have any way to save my son? I, Lu Youwei, don't have much ability, so I can't give you anything, but if you want this town's wealth, servants and manors, just ask me. As long as you can save my son, I'll give you everything I have."

Lu Youwei said this to Caiyi repeatedly, but after hearing his words, Caiyi did not dare to make any guarantees.

The innate Qi can heal injuries, but for such a serious injury, her Qi reserves are obviously insufficient and far from enough.

He was silent for a while, then said:

"Let me think of a way. Can you make some room for us?"

"Yes, of course!"

Lu Youwei immediately asked his servants to prepare a good room, and then let Zuo Chen and the other two go in.

The rich man's room was obviously the guest room of their home, and the furnishings were very elegant. However, at this moment, the room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, which made it difficult for people to open their eyes.

After entering the room, Caiyi immediately looked at Zuo Chen and Mr. Tang with a pleading look.

Looking at Caiyi's eyes, it was still Mr. Tang who said:
"It can't be cured, it really can't be cured. I see that the child has clearly been put into the animal realm, and has been reduced from the human realm to the animal realm. Falling from the upper three realms to the lower three realms is considered 'bad'. To put it bluntly, according to the rules of this world, it is easy to be a 'bad' person, but it is difficult to be a 'good' person."

He sighed again and again: "The child's three souls and seven spirits have even shown some signs of dog transformation. It should be that his living soul was stabbed by a sharp knife, and his ability to swallow thieves and remove filth was also abolished. He was injured not only in form, but also in spirit. I am not good enough, so it is really difficult to save him."

Hearing that Mr. Tang really had no other solution, Caiyi looked to Zuo Chen for help.

Zuo Chen thought for a few seconds:

"It can be saved."

As soon as he said this, Caiyi breathed a sigh of relief, while Old Tang stared at Zuo Chen with wide eyes.

"Master? He's injured like this, can he still be saved?" Elder Tang was obviously a little shocked: "In Daliang, it's understandable to call this a terminal illness. Are you planning to perform a ritual?"

"It's just a miracle of great strength." Zuo Chen waved his hand without further explanation, which made Mr. Tang look confused.

In fact, there is no special technique. It simply relies on the recovery ability of the innate Qi. As long as enough is infused, no matter what kind of evil magic or flesh and blood damage, it can be restored to its original state under the flushing of this Qi.

This was the method Zuo Chen used when he rescued Wang Erniu and Liu Laizi in the ghost village before.

As long as the soul is not separated from the body and there is still a breath left, we can save the person if we try.

"But... before I save him, I still have some things I want to confirm." Zuo Chen paused, then continued, "There may be something fishy behind this matter. If I use a ritual to save him directly, whether the person I rescued is actually a human being is another matter."

Caiyi hadn't reacted yet after hearing Zuo Chen's words, but Mr. Tang also blinked twice and suddenly took a breath of cold air:
"What do you mean?"

Zuo Chen did not explain for the time being, but pushed open the door of the room and greeted the three people who were waiting in the yard.

"Three of you, I have something to ask you. Could you please come in and talk?"

The couple nodded repeatedly, and the brother looked at Zuo Chen in confusion and followed him in.

Caiyi still didn't quite understand what Zuo Chen wanted to do, so she had to stand there obediently.

After the three of them were seated, the couple looked at Caiyi, as if they thought it was the eldest aunt who wanted to ask something, but they soon discovered that it was actually Zuo Chen standing in front of them.

He was a little confused, but seeing that Zuo Chen behaved in an extraordinary manner, he estimated that Zuo Chen must be very capable, so he sat obediently and waited for Zuo Chen to ask questions.

"I want to ask, who discovered the child's whereabouts? And who brought the child back?"

Hearing this question, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and then Lu Youwei's brother said:
"it's me."

Seeing Zuo Chen looking at him, the brother finally introduced himself:
"My name is Lv Youxin, and I'm his brother. After my nephew got into trouble, I've been helping his family. At the time, I asked someone to search nearby, and after searching for a while, I finally found the whereabouts of my nephew."

"Where is that opera troupe?" Zuo Chen asked again.

"I brought a few thugs with me. The troupe had sharp ears, so half of them ran away. The rest were blocked in the house and couldn't get out. I smashed their heads with sticks one by one, and they were dragged out and burned to ashes."

"I see."

Zuo Chen nodded in understanding: "Can you tell me where you found the troupe?"

Lu Youxin was obviously a little confused, but he still told Zuo Chen the address honestly:
"Go out of the town and walk towards Dongshui City. There is a forest over there. Go to the edge of the forest. Don't go in. Turn east. If you are not riding a horse and have fast feet, it will take about an incense stick of time. There you will see an abandoned yard. That's where I found my nephew."

After saying this, Lu Youxin couldn't help but add:
"Does this have anything to do with saving my nephew's life?"

"It is indeed related. I need to go to the scene to see what prescription they use so that I can prescribe the right medicine."

Zuo Chen said so.

After listening to Zuo Chen's words, the couple probably felt that Zuo Chen seemed to have found a way to save their son. They were very happy and promised repeatedly that they were willing to pay any amount of money as long as their child could be cured.

After offering a few more words of consolation, Zuo Chen asked them to leave.

After these people left, Mr. Tang lowered his voice and said, "This Lu Youxin looks a little strange." "What do you mean?" Caiyi asked.

"In my opinion, he seems to be a little afraid that the child will be cured." Mr. Tang analyzed: "Don't look at this man as the child's uncle. There are many people who do such bad things for money! If this couple has no children, if the child really has an accident, in the end such a huge fortune will eventually be given to him!"

Zuo Chen could also tell from Lu Youxin's words that he really didn't want them to continue investigating.

But judging from his features, Lu Youxin has a full forehead. Although he cannot be said to be righteous, he is definitely not a vicious person. Although his eyes are evasive, they do not show the look of guilty conscience.

He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would harm his relatives for money.

"Come with me to the yard and take a look. After seeing the scene, we will be able to understand something."

……

When the three set off, the sun had already set over the mountain, the bright moon was half hanging in the sky, and the stars were shining brightly.

It's a little cloudy today, blocking the moon and stars.

Caiyi originally wanted to let Mr. Tang rest in the house, but Mr. Tang said that after all, he was also a member of the Beggar Gang, and his understanding of the art of committing sins was just as good as the two of them, so it would not be wrong for him to go and take a look.

The distance was not too far, so he just rode his donkey there.

The three of them were quite silent on the way when it came to the acrobatics gang. In fact, Mr. Tang obviously wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Caiyi about what she had experienced during this period of time, but when he thought that the conversation at this juncture might eventually turn into a discussion about the acrobatics and the trivial matters of the acrobatics, he simply kept silent.

Along the way, only the donkey was swaying leisurely.

It didn't take too long for Donkey to arrive at the destination. After getting off the car, Mr. Tang was still a little confused:

"From what that guy said just now, this road isn't that close, right? Why does it feel like we've arrived in such a short time?"

Hearing this, before Zuo Chen had the chance to explain, Donkey Grandpa raised his head high and snorted.

Seeing the lively and energetic look of Master Donkey, Master Tang was also really surprised, and then he reacted:
"Master, this is still a precious donkey, isn't it?"

Zuo Chen glanced at Mr. Donkey.

He was the one who used the magical power to shrink the distance just now. Is this donkey just taking advantage of the power of the other side to bully others?

He didn't say much, but just shifted his attention to the compound.

The yard is not small and is located in a remote area. The only thing connecting it to the yard is a small branch road leading from the main road. There is a large plain in front and a forest behind.

The entire courtyard was surrounded by a large wooden fence, and was already overgrown with weeds. It seemed that no one had cleaned it up for some time.

It is unknown what the owner who once lived here did for a living. He could be a woodcutter, a hunter, or a herdsman herding cattle. Of course, there could also be wealthy people with some spare money who hated noise and found a place like this to enjoy the scenery surrounded by mountains and water.

But no matter what this place was in the past, it has now become a wasteland. Certain insects and ants have chosen this place to live and make a living.

Seeing that the fence door was ajar, Zuo Chen went over and pushed it with his hand, and the whole fence collapsed with a bang, turning into a pile of broken wood chips on the ground.

He withdrew his hand angrily.

This thing is more fragile than Zuo Chen imagined.

After entering the courtyard, you can smell a faint smell of blood, mixed with a hint of herbal smell in the air. Even though there is no one here anymore, the dirty business that was once done is engraved here like a carving knife, and it will take a long time to fade away.

Looking around, he found that the main door of the hall had been demolished, and it was surrounded by water tanks of various sizes. The ground was brown from layers of accumulated blood. In the corners, he could see some knives, spears, hot irons, and wooden beds, which were filled with evil spirits.

It's hard to imagine how much meat was cut off at these locations.

Like a butcher's cutting board.

After that, Caiyi showed a very unhappy expression, holding her right forearm with her left hand, feeling uncomfortable all over. Mr. Tang also couldn't stop sighing, muttering something like "If you don't follow the right path, you won't die well."

Zuo Chen looked around and there was a slight gleam in his eyes.

"found it."

Ignoring the dirty and foul air around him, Zuo Chen strode out without staying in the yard, and walked directly towards somewhere on the plain.

Mr. Tang and Caiyi were both confused. They didn't know what Zuo Chen had discovered, so they could only hurriedly follow Zuo Chen.

Then he found that Zuo Chen seemed to be following some invisible path, and soon he came to a plain covered with tall wormwood.

Caiyi and Mr. Tang came over and discovered there was a mound of earth here.

It’s not very high, it’s a mound.

"Master? What is this?"

She pointed at the grave mound with a little doubt, and Caiyi's face was full of confusion.

A small mound of graves suddenly appeared in this plain wilderness, which really seemed a bit strange no matter how you looked at it.

Zuo Chen didn't respond.

He lowered his eyes and stared at the grave in front of him.

There are no souls in the graves here, but there is still some breath left.

Exactly the same as the child who suffered the disaster in the compound.
