Chapter 179, the outbreak of the plague
Li Ping'an smiled and said, "Is this why you came here today to tell me this?"
Bai Yun smiled and said: "Of course not, I'm here to pay New Year's greetings to the temple master."
Li Ping'an stood up and laughed and said: "Okay, now that you are here, all of us at Sanqing Temple will be here. We will have a reunion dinner later."
Bai Yun felt warm in his heart, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! Let the disciples cook."
…
Time passes slowly, winter passes and spring comes, spring passes and summer comes. The area burned by the flames of the Cangman Mountains for a few months is once again full of life. The tender grass and tree buds everywhere attract a large number of herbivores.
In the past few months, Li Pingan has gradually and completely mastered the Liangyi Formation. As his understanding of the yin and yang of heaven and earth deepened, the Tao patterns inscribed on the golden elixir became more mysterious, and the mana in his body also underwent a qualitative transformation, containing
A trace of Tao Yun, which is the power of the Yin and Yang Law, but the specific strength is not clear.
…
After Chang Yang, the new city lord of Anqing City, took office, he did not take any action, as if the city lord had never been changed. The worried people of Anqing City slowly relaxed and continued to live and work in peace and contentment.
On this day, in a room in the City Lord's Mansion, a thin middle-aged man was seriously flipping through books of information. After a long time, he put the information down and said, "Is this all the information on Taoism?"
A voice came from the shadow next to him and said: "Yes!"
Chang Yang banged his fingers on the table and said: "The former Archbishop Bai Meng, the master of Sanqing Temple, is difficult to deal with!" After pondering for a while, he said: "Help me contact the Judgment Department of the Holy Temple."
The man in the shadow replied: "The Holy Church has forgiven Bai Meng."
Chang Yang smiled confidently and said: "The Holy Church pardoned Bai Meng, but the Adjudication Department will not."
Bang bang bang~ A violent knock on the door came from outside.
Chang Yang frowned, raised his head and said, "Come in!"
With a bang, the door was pushed open with great force, and an old man in a cloth robe ran in and shouted in panic: "City Lord, it's bad, there's a plague."
Chang Yang stood up suddenly and said in shock: "Plague? Where did the plague come from?"
The cloth-robed old man swallowed his saliva and said with fear in his eyes: "To the southwest, thousands of miles away, the plague has broken out in Muhan City, Beigang City, Shenyin City, and Black Corner City, and is spreading.
According to the trend, the four cities have now been surrounded, and the Bishop of the Holy Church, the Adjudication Department of the Holy Church, and the Royal Palace Guards have all arrived." Computer terminal::/
Chang Yang took a long breath, sat back and said, "We're not in Anqing City, why are you so nervous?"
The old man swallowed his saliva and said with fear in his eyes: "But...but there are already plague patients in Anqing City."
Chang Yang's expression suddenly changed.
The old man whispered: "Sir, what should we do now?"
Chang Yang tapped his fingers on the table, squinted his eyes and said, "Kill without mercy. If a case is discovered, the whole family will be executed secretly. Don't spread the news of the plague."
The old man nodded and said, "I understand." He turned around and walked out quickly.
A voice came from the shadows: "It seems that the Adjudication Division has no time to deal with you."
Chang Yang stood up with his hands behind his back, looked outside and said quietly: "I saw blood all over the sky."
The voice in the shadow changed and said: "You mean His Majesty will issue a massacre order?"
Chang Yang chuckled and said: "I have been with His Majesty for decades, and I know his way of dealing with things very well. He has always cut through the mess with a sharp knife."
…
At this moment, outside Black Corner City, red-armored knights were riding on black horses, forming a large circle and surrounding Black Corner City.
On the outside of the encirclement, several brand-new palaces stood, with people coming and going inside the palaces.
In the courtyard of one of the palaces, there are shady trees, clusters of flowers, small bridges, flowing water, and strange animals. It is very beautiful and exquisite.
Eunuch Hong, Lei Peng, deputy director of the Adjudication Department, and Hai Chao, one of the bishops of the church, were sitting in a pavilion, drinking tea and chatting.
Behind Eunuch Hong stood Yuan Fen in armor, behind Lei Peng stood Liu Kongxian, and behind Hai Chao stood Mu Yunhan, all of whom were leaders in the third level.
Eunuch Hong said in a high-pitched voice: "The Holy Temple's healing skills are unique in the world. I wonder if there is a good way to deal with this plague?"
One-eyed Lei Peng snorted and said, "The order I got is to check whether the evil god is causing trouble. The rest has nothing to do with me."
Hai Chao, who was wearing a bishop's robe, said solemnly: "I came here on the order of the church master. The church master asked me to do everything possible to solve the plague and rescue the victims."
Eunuch Hong played with his fingers and asked casually: "Is there any way?"
Haichao hesitated and shook his head, and said: "This plague is very weird, and the transmission route is extremely simple. You will be infected as long as you are in contact. Plague patients will have symptoms of poisoning, edema all over the body, fever and cough. I have detected it in the patients.
Snake venom, lizard venom, fire venom, and many other unknown poisons.
It’s easy to treat one or two people, but if I want to treat hundreds of thousands of plague patients, I can’t do anything.”
Eunuch Hong chuckled twice and said in a high-pitched voice: "The results of the Bishop's research and the King of Medicine's research are the same. King of Medicine said that the patient's body contained dozens of poisons. These dozens of poisons were entangled together and mutated.
, this triggered the plague, and these dozens of virulences restrained each other, resulting in an extremely long onset period, with a delay of several months. Therefore, when the plague broke out, it had already spread throughout the country, but these four cities were the most serious."
Hai Chao's eyes lit up and he said, "Does King Yao have any cure?"
Eunuch Hong chuckled and did not answer.
A flash of disappointment flashed in Hai Chao's eyes, and then he asked solemnly: "You said the entire Qing Kingdom broke out?"
Eunuch Hong said calmly: "The rest of the problems have been solved."
"How to solve it?" The others looked at Eunuch Hong.
Eunuch Hong chuckled and said, "Wouldn't it be solved by killing?!"
Everyone's eyes were fixed, and everyone seemed to hear the sound of crying and screaming.
The faces of Lei Peng, Hai Chao and others did not change. Among them, only Yuan Fen had a look of unbearable expression.
In the courtyard, everyone continued to drink tea and talk, but they didn't take the so-called plague to heart.
…
In the imperial palace of Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qing was walking back and forth in the palace, while Dan Qing stood aside respectfully with his hands lowered.
Emperor Qing paused, turned to look at Danqing and said, "Is there any other way?" Mobile version::
Dan Qing said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this plague is spreading too fast. Unless all the plague patients are cured at once, the treatment will be useless and they will still be infected again.
To kill such a widespread plague at once, we can only use great medicine, and the colorful lotus with seven orifices in the palace is the most suitable medicinal material."
Emperor Qing approached Danqing, bent over and looked down at Danqing, and said expressionlessly: "Do you know how precious the colorful lotus with seven orifices is?"
Danqing said respectfully: "We know that it is up to His Majesty to decide whether to refine the medicine or not."
"Humph~" Emperor Qing snorted and stood up, waved his hand and said: "Stay back!"
