Chapter 400: Death
Chapter 400: Death
"A few years ago, I was mortal, but now I can't get rid of it. Jia Qi replied calmly and took the gourd, "I'll go get water, and you go to other cities to buy food and medicinal herbs, okay?"
Qingyu immediately arrived: "My sister and I went with Xiaozhou to buy food and medicinal materials, remember to use worldly gold and silver, not spirit stones." β
Division of labor and cooperation, separate actions.
Hurry up, hurry up, Jia Qi is anxious, and the footwork under his feet is as fast as the wind.
Qingyu followed behind her with wide eyes, unable to hide her shock: "Sister's footwork is about to be subtle." β
The progress of footwork brought about a great leap forward in speed, and in less than two days I came to the river that I had passed before.
"My sister first sacrificed the gourd, and then put it in the water. Qingyu said.
After doing so, he felt that the gourd was constantly absorbing the water in the river, he breathed a sigh of relief, and frowned again: "Where can the doctor who can treat go to find it?"
Qingyu didn't say anything.
Jia Ji continued to think: "Go to the city you pass by and inquire, there is a powerful doctor, it's good to take it over." β
After making up my mind, it is estimated that it will take about five days for the gourd to be filled, so I will go to the doctor first.
"Concubine, do you have anything there that can compensate mortals. "You can't frighten the doctor for no reason, but don't give the slightest compensation.
"Yang Yuan Dan should be okay. "Yangyuan Dan is a very common pill that specializes in replenishing vitality, and I bought a lot of it before I went out in the best period.
"Didn't it mean that the mortal body ...... "can't bear the aura?"
"Mortals can't eat the elixir that replenishes the aura, but the one that replenishes the vitality can. Qingyu explained.
Jiaqi nodded and immediately got to work.
After possessing the power beyond ordinary people. It was relatively easy to get things done, and Jia Ji soon found a suitable target in another city he passed by.
But how do you send it over? She couldn't pull it, and besides, people couldn't stand her speed and bumps. The carriage was too slow;
The almighty Qingyu handed over another boat: "Use this." β
"Flying magic machine?"
"Well, it was originally prepared for my sister at this stage, but my sister needed to practice footwork, so I didn't take it out. The little girl said with a smile.
"Thank you, Auntie. "I was overjoyed in the good time, I picked up Qingyu and kissed her fiercely, and then I sacrificed the boat, there was not much space, but five or six people could still fit it. She grabbed two more to retrieve the water hyacinth, and then drove the boat back to the closed city.
threw a few doctors into the medicine hall, and she didn't care about the appeasement work;
Then he placed the water hyacinth at the water source of the city, and when he heard the exclamations and cheers of the residents, he knew that the well was well well watered, and then he smiled.
"My sister has done her best to help, and then it depends on the medical skills of those doctors, so I don't have to worry about my sister. Qingyu comforted. "Let's take a break!"
"I'm still cultivating!" Jia Qi said, activating the Guiding Astrolabe in an empty courtyard.
Strength is really important.
Although she is still not worth mentioning in the world of cultivating immortals, she can do a lot of things in the secular world.
As the boat said, from the day he stepped into the immortal path. She is no longer the same as mortals in the world, and if her current strength is displayed in front of her father, they are afraid that their first reaction will be horror. The second reaction is to think about how to use her power for the benefit of the family!
She couldn't go back.
There is no way back, only forward.
But in the monastic world. She was too weak to have much power to protect herself. Things that can be done before. still uses the magic weapon provided by Qingyu, otherwise it will be much more difficult.
Except to cultivate and make herself stronger, what else can she do?
Jia Qi closed his eyes.
The experience can really make the monk reborn.
Qingyu stared blankly at the face that had fallen silent after several changes in the good period, and it took a long time to shift her gaze.
The boat walked over.
"Aren't we leaving?"
"My sister is practicing? Looks like she doesn't want to leave now. Qingyu replied softly.
"My sister has tried her best to help, what are you waiting for here?"
Qingyu didn't understand much either.
While drinking, Ling Zhou asked the doubts in his heart, and Jia Qi smiled after listening to his question: "I'm waiting for a result." This city is nothing more than two outcomes, if it can be treated, it will be unsealed, and if it can't be treated, it will be carried on, and in the end it is estimated that it will die, I want to know what the result will be here with my help. β
Although there is no shortage of food and medicinal materials, the treatment effect is still very slow, and the best period has been a few times when the doctor has come over, and now there are more than 20 famous doctors in the medicine hall, but there is still no clue.
Every day, the Divine Consciousness of the Good Period saw someone die, and then was taken to a corner of the city by the soldiers and cremated.
The mood of the people is becoming more and more depressed, even hopeless, some patients even attack the doctors who treat him with very vicious language, and some patients die, and their families are angry and want to destroy the medicine hall.
At this time, the repression of the soldiers is very important.
The old doctor of the medicine hall once said that the lord of this city is good, and he thinks it is good after observing it in the best period. Even in such a situation, the law and order in the city were still maintained in an orderly manner, and there were no mutinies or civil mutinies, which was by no means something that ordinary city lords could do.
Half a year later, there were fewer and fewer people alive in the city, and even those who were still alive had lost hope and spirit, and were as numb as the walking dead......
"This city has been ruined. Ling Zhou said.
Jia Qi and Qingyu nodded.
By the time the city was unsealed, less than 10,000 people had survived.
Full of death and resentment wafted over the city, even if the sun was scorching, the city still showed a trace of gloom and coldness, and the best time to sit on the city wall, facing the wind in a daze.
"Can the Death Spell dispel these resentful spirits?" asked Jia Qi.
"Sister can try it, but it's not a Buddhist practice, and the effect is probably not ideal. Qingyu replied, and at the same time taught Jia Ji how to recite the mantra of the past life.
As the sound of the good season echoed in the wind, waves of almost invisible golden ripples rippled all around, and some of the resentful spirits would smile, some would not react, and some would even lash out at the good period......
He didn't pay attention to it, and recited the mantra over and over again, from early morning to late night, and then until early morning, and finally his voice was dumb, and most of the souls that were scattered in the air had disappeared, and there were only two or three kittens and dogs left.
She ignored it, absorbed the power of gratitude from the souls before they were reincarnated, wiped away the tiredness on her body, and then got up and walked in the direction of the city lord's departure.
"What is my sister doing with the city lord? Did you find something?" Qingyu said curiously.
"I think this city lord is very unusual. "Jia Qi said that this city is a second-class city of large scale and good geographical location, even if it is not as good as the capital of a country, but it is still the number one, but the city lord is unusually young, in his twenties, unless he is of noble birth or has a strong background, he will never be able to do this position, and this city lord is obviously a talented and innate man with lofty ideals, and the situation is very delicate to achieve such a position.
Noble-born, talented, resourceful, and in an important position, these are obviously the characteristics of those important ministers who assist the prince.
Jia Ji actually doesn't know much about the battle for the throne, but he also understands: there is definitely a problem in this.
If there is a problem with the identity of the city lord, then there may be a problem with this plague.
There aren't many real accidents after all.
And she, since she passed by, met it, and intervened, then she wanted to get a truth - the truth about the death of hundreds of thousands of residents.
Soon after the young lord entered the capital, he secretly went to a palace near the imperial city, and the anger and sorrow on the face of the city lord were evident when he heard them talk about the fall of the city in the secret room.
His master, the young lord of the palace, was much calmer, perhaps already sad and angry.
Their conversation may have involved the culprit behind the scenes, but Jia Shi couldn't tell, she only knew that the plague was indeed man-made.
Her divine sense followed the city lord, and after more than half a month, she discovered the mastermind behind the scenes.
It was a young girl with a pale face, luxurious costumes, and elegant manners, estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years old, her body was very weak, as if she was sick, and her weak posture and calm gaze formed a sharp contrast, with delicate and luxurious facial features, which was particularly eye-catching.
With the limited knowledge of secular aristocracy in the best period, this girl was definitely of noble birth and prominent status.
How could such a delicate girl raised in a deep boudoir with a graceful temperament be the culprit for the death of hundreds of thousands of residents?
She found it incredulous.
The city lord called her 'county lord', accused her of being an executioner with great excitement, and asked her: "You are political enemies with us, it doesn't matter how you fight in the court, why do you want to attack hundreds of thousands of innocent people?"
Jia Ji also wants to know the answer.
The county lord looked at his angry expression without changing his face, and sneered and mocked: "Don't put on a compassionate appearance to accuse me, how good are you?"
"Iβwhat's wrong with me?" the young lord wondered.
The county lord asked rhetorically: "Let me ask you, when you built that city into a military logistics base for His Royal Highness King Xiang, didn't you pass the people of the city? If you don't build a base in the city, who will move them? We are enemies of each other, and it is only natural for you to destroy the soldiers in my father's hands, and I will destroy your base, but it is just a courtesy." β
"You kidnapped hundreds of thousands of innocent residents, made them ignorant and became your subordinates, forcing me to do it, and now you are putting on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance to accuse me? In the final analysis, you are unwilling to admit the death of those children, and you are the culprit; I tell you, I killed people, but I also calmly accepted that sin, even if I fell into the eighteenth layer of hell because of this, I have no regrets; I just don't know if the lord of the city, who loves the people like a son, can he do it without regrets?"
