Chapter 45: The Red Gold Clan

It was already evening when he returned to Liangzhou City, and Lord Chen was waiting anxiously. www.biquge.info According to the king's instructions, this morning, according to the instructions of the prince, the water from the well in the palace was sent to all parts of the city for the people to drink. As a result, the number of new cases today has dropped greatly, it seems that King Chen is really a miracle doctor, and he can cure diseases with cold water, and the officials of Liangzhou City have thrown themselves to the ground for the five bodies that this prince admires, hoping that he will find some miracle medicine from the mountain to completely eliminate the plague.

King Chen didn't bring back any miracle medicine, and he didn't plan to tell everyone what he saw today, and he was afraid that spreading such a terrible thing would cause panic.

After dinner, Lord Chen reported the development of the epidemic to King Chen in the flower hall on this day.

"Today, according to the king's instructions, I sent people to draw water from the well of the government and transport it to all parts of the city, so that the people could drink it. Lord, you are really a god, how do you know that the well water in the government can cure diseases?"

"I'm just guessing, the epidemic is spreading in the whole city, but no one in the government is sick, and the water source of the government is different from the urban area, so it is natural to think that it may be a problem with water, and even if the well water cannot cure the disease, at least it is a clean water source.

I asked you to distribute the water to verify the problem, and there is evidence that the springs and rivers in the city have been polluted by evil spirits, and it is these unclean waters that have caused this plague. Therefore, Lord Chen should immediately issue a notice to inform the people in the city not to drink the water of the springs and rivers anymore, and that the well water of the government is limited, and that from tomorrow onwards people can send people to carry water from the villages and towns outside the city to relieve their urgent needs."

"Xiaguan has already sent someone to do it, please rest assured, I don't know what the prince will gain when he goes out today?"

"There are some things that seem to be related to the plague, and I can't be sure yet," Speaking of this, King Chen suddenly changed his words and asked, "Lord Chen is familiar with government affairs, so he must have been an official in Liangzhou for many years, right?"

This turn is a bit big, and Lord Chen was stunned for a moment before replying, "Xia Guan has been a parent official in Liangzhou City for twenty years......."

As he spoke, he saw King Chen take out a black disc from his sleeve and hand it to Lord Chen for identification, "I wonder if you have ever seen this thing?"

Lord Chen took the thing in his hand, carefully wiped and identified, only to find that it was a gold coin, with a layer of dirt on it, and after wiping it off, the gold was brilliant, but it was a gold coin of good color, but the patterns and strange inscriptions on it were very unfamiliar.

"The lower official is stupid, I really have never seen such a style of gold coin, I don't know where the prince got it?"

"I picked it up from the mountain," King Chen wrote lightly, in fact, this gold coin was picked up by him between the stone walls in the cave, and he faintly felt that it was related to the plague, so he brought it back for Lord Chen to identify, but he didn't expect Lord Chen, who had been a parent official here for twenty years, to say that he had never seen it, could it be just a coincidence?

"Lord Wang, I wonder if you can let the villain also take a look?" The person who spoke was the master beside Lord Chen, who was over the age of old, but he was very attentive, and he always followed behind Lord Chen.

This master, surnamed Wu, was old, and put the gold coin under the lamp and looked at it for a long time before nodding and saying, "Yes, yes, this is exactly what the Chijin clan is."

"Chijin Clan, why haven't I heard of it?" Master Chen wondered.

"The Chijin tribe was originally a tribe living in Liangzhou, and iron ore was found in the small gold mountain behind Liangzhou, and the Chijin tribe was good at mining and alchemy, hence the name. According to legend, although there are not many people in the Chijin tribe, they are extremely wealthy, and in their heyday, one-third of the gold in the world comes from the Chijin tribe.

About thirty years ago, the Crimson tribe suddenly disappeared in the night, disappeared without a trace, and evaporated with countless pieces of gold, and since then, no one has seen anything related to red gold, and the tribe seems to have never appeared......

At that time, there was a rumor that the Chijin tribe had accumulated too much wealth and had no virtue, and the heavens warned them and punished them into the Infernal Hell, so people did not dare to talk about the Chijin clan anymore, and over time, they forgot about it......"

King Chen and Chen Taishou were both stunned by this secret, and came back to their senses and asked, "How do you know that this is something from the Chijin Clan?"

"Back to Your Highness, the purity of the gold of the Chijin clan is higher than that of ordinary gold due to the special refining method, and the patterns and inscriptions on it are all special to the Chijin clan......"

I see, King Chen frowned and withdrew the gold coin, and finally had a clue that involved the disappearance of a tribe decades ago......

"How many people are there in the Chijin Clan?"

"Although the number of Chijin people is not very large, there are thousands of people. ”

Thousands of people disappeared silently, and it was impossible to evaporate from the world, and even if they were taken to hell, they would die after all.

Only dead corpses can produce corpse poison, and a large number of corpses are enough to infect the whole city. Although thirty years is a long time, his intuition tells him that this matter is probably inseparable from the Chijin clan.

Things are a little tricky now, I don't know if it's a monster or a zombie attacking him in the mountains today, no matter what it is, its mana should not be underestimated. If it weren't for the fact that he had a magic weapon by his side, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to retreat with his whole body.

To completely solve the plague, it is necessary to eliminate the source of corpse poison, but if you don't solve the monsters or zombies with high mana in the mountains, you will only be killed if you rush up the mountain.

The bell must be tied to the bell, and King Chen continued to ask Master Wu, "Tell me all about the Chijin Clan." ”

Master Wu shook his head after thinking for a long time and said, "The Chijin clan has always been mysterious, and it rarely intersects with outsiders, and what the villain just said is just a rumor. It has been more than 30 years since the Chijin disappeared, and their settlement has long been deserted. A few years ago, someone went to hunt for treasures, in a vain attempt to find the gold left behind by the Chijin clan, but they couldn't see it back, so it was rumored that the people of the Chijin clan had become powerful ghosts, and they refused to leave there. ”

"Where is the Chijin settlement?" King Chen asked.

"It's in a col in Xiaojin Mountain......," Master Wu hesitated, "In fact, whether the Chijin clan left gold or not is a legend, and it's really not worth the risk......

Master Wu thought that King Chen was going to hunt for treasure, and Master Chen was also suspicious.

King Chen didn't want to explain, but he just asked people to inquire more about the Chijin Clan, and he wanted to know everything.

In the middle of the night, the wind was heavy, the moonlight was cold, and when King Chen returned, Ahri had already fallen asleep on the couch by the window, and the snow-white fur reflected the moonlight and emitted silver light.

Gently straightening the little fox's curled tail, Ahri opened his eyes and glanced at him, rolled over and fell asleep again.

The big hand smoothed it from head to toe a few more times, and a thin brocade was wrapped around it.
