Chapter 356: Contagion
After leaving the burrow, with a ray of life from the rabbit, he headed out to the outside world.
Xu Wei is now unkempt and covered with gorgeous clothes, full of pus and yellow juice, and every step he takes, Xu Wei's image is even more unbearable, he can hardly see his face clearly, and the noble son has turned into a wandering beggar, and his breath is even weaker, like a candle in the wind, which can be extinguished at any time.
The yellow juice left behind after the pustule was broken, corrosive, condensed with the white robe, stained with soil ash, and condensed into pieces, like a sloppy and dirty person.
There was a foul smell coming from the body, and many small animals avoided it one after another.
Xu Wei suffered such a catastrophe, and he looked for a direction in a daze, and when he came with the light, he felt that there was a village around him.
Plague is a disease from heaven, and it is also a disease obtained by man's perception of the perverse spirit of heaven and earth, which will not kill him for a while, but it is accompanied by man's body, and it is constantly contagious, and the harm is far greater than that of other diseases.
"Heaven nourishes life with all things, but man has nothing to repay heaven and earth, and if Heaven wants to do plague things, it is also appropriate to send down criminal laws. ”
Xu Wei flashed countless kinds of realizations in his heart, but none of them could solve the dilemma at the moment, if he had understood it earlier, he would have had the opportunity to contact this dilemma.
In the distance, there is smoke curling in the distance, thousands of acres of fertile land, and a village stands here, there are hundreds of families.
The war in the outside world has not affected this place, but it seems peaceful and vibrant.
The peasants went home together, carrying hoes and talking in threes and fives.
In the distance, the evening breeze blows the willows by the river, and there are traces of ox carts under the wide paths.
An inflated object resembling a human body, lying quietly by the river, with abundant aquatic plants covering its sound, and a puddle of water under its body, showing an earthy yellow, and the turquoise river water.
Thousands of miles away near Heishui Pass, the water vapor is moist, the river is sweet, although this river is a nameless river, it also gave birth to the people on both sides, and there are countless vitality for this place.
The village near the river is Jintao Village, which has a population of more than 1,000 people.
Tonight, a strange thing happened, the old people and children in the village were all sick, the top of their heads was hot, their faces were gray and green, and they looked abnormal.
On the second day, the people of the village were so anxious that they sought medical attention, but there was only one barefoot doctor in the village, who knew how to treat such symptoms.
This place is located outside the gate, there is no town under the jurisdiction, and it is easy to end, and now there is an accident, and no one can be found to help.
The barefoot doctor prescribed some drugs to replenish vitality and increase blood qi, which could barely keep these old people alive, and the village also prevented people from asking for help from villages in all directions.
The barefoot doctor, surnamed Wan, had been worried, he had a worry in his heart, this was not a plague, and sure enough, this worry began to appear, and one day later, except for some young people, the rest of the village fell down, and fell into a state of semi-coma.
At this time, there is not even a person in charge in Jintao Village, all of them are six gods and no masters, and these people finally understand that this matter is unusual.
The only doctor in the village also noticed that his body was abnormal, but he had practiced some superficial qi refining techniques, and his body was strong and not inferior to the blue state, and his own pulse also showed something strange, like a kind of water plague.
Near Heishui Pass, the water plague is the most common kind of plague, but it rarely happens, and there are some fruits in the nearby mountains that can specifically treat this kind of plague, so the damage is not great, and now this water plague is even higher, and it is ferocious, and the doctor also noticed that all the people in their village have been infected with the water plague.
Thinking of the fact that there were many people with plagues who were asking for help from villages in all directions, Dr. Wan was shocked into a cold sweat, and there were dozens of places around him who lived outside the gates, and there were also intersections in various villages, with a total population of more than 90,000.
Most of the grain they grow is supplied to Daxia for the soldiers in the nearby gates, and Daxia has never been too harsh on them, usually they are under the jurisdiction of the generals of Guanzhong, and now that the war is fighting, the nearby Heishui Pass has long been concerned about the outside world.
Although he is a citizen of Great Xia, he is also like a wild people, and his life is like a mustard.
Doctor Wan immediately brought the big cow who had practiced rough martial arts in the village, and the two of them came over in a hurry.
"This is a catastrophe, different from the past, Da Niu, you and the two of you immediately go to the mountains and forests to look for the snake fruit, and you must bring the snake fruit back immediately. ”
The only thing he could think of was the snake fruit, which was cruel in nature, and once consumed, it would kill ninety percent of one's life, and it would take some time to recuperate, but it also had the advantage of pulling out some of the diseases that had evolved in the nearby waters, including this water plague.
The snake fruit has a great relationship with the black water snake, which is born from a wisp of snake qi affecting the plant, and the surrounding area is between the black water snake has a certain relationship, so the human race has also suffered from many related diseases in this place.
"Yes, Doctor Wan, our brother will go at once. Da Niu, Er Niu immediately agreed. There are also many patients in the family.
ran all the way, but fortunately, the system of the two was good, and the plague had not yet broken out.
Snake fruit is also a common thing in the mountains and forests, with a trace of toxicity, mountain and forest animals will not swallow, generally grow in a cool place, the size of the same red cherry, very eye-catching.
With his head down, he searched everywhere along the abundant water and grass, and the big cow and the second cow also found a basket.
Unbeknownst to them, the villagers who went to ask for help were all in a crisis, and all the way down, these villagers were worried, anxious, and tired, and the plague buried in their bodies also broke out.
Who would have thought that these villages were only a day later than Jintao Village, and the children and elderly people in the village were constantly falling ill, and for a while, anger came towards these villagers who came to ask for help.
"Finally, I have found enough, I hope that Dr. Wan can save the three masters, dogs and them. ”
Da Niu and Er Niu said excitedly.
Suddenly, Er Niu exclaimed, "Look, there seems to be a person there." ”
After some searching, he found Xu Wei's body.
At this moment, people are constantly infected with the plague, and Xu Wei's body has more and more vitality, and all kinds of qi and organs in his body are mixed, and he is about to wake up.
"Could it be that this corpse polluted the river water, Dr. Wan once said that this time it seems to be a plague, infecting everyone in one day, it must be related to the water source, it is a water plague. ”
The two of them investigated, and suddenly their color changed, Xu Wei's body at the moment became extremely terrifying, like a round ball, swelling up, some pus on the body were scarred, some continued to expand, and the yellow juice flowed out, which was very terrifying.
"It's not a corpse, it's breathing. Big brother, you see his chest heaving. Er Niu pointed to the chest, and he could see a slight undulation, although the person's face was not clear.
"What should I do?" both of them were villagers, and their knowledge was shallow, and they lost their bearings for a while.
"Let Dr. Wan dispose of it. ”
The two endured the stench, picked up Xu Wei's body, and rushed towards Jintao Village.
The sky was dark, and Da Niu and Er Niu finally sent Xu Wei to Jintao Village.
As soon as he saw Xu Wei's physical condition, Dr. Wan immediately changed color, and said, "I see." In the medicine scripture, it was said that everything has a life, and this plague must have been brought by this person, and if you want to be cured, you must also find a breakthrough from this person. ”
Doctor Wan also immediately began to check Xu Wei's body, which was simply helpless, so he had to pour the boiled decoction directly into Xu Wei's mouth with the snake fruit, hoping to have a glimmer of life and know the source of this disease.
If Dr. Wan knows, this kind of disease is born from a heavenly master using magic powers.
This torture plague seal spell impacted Xu Wei's body, producing a source of plague, which was extremely domineering, and Xu Wei's pure and refined body couldn't resist for a moment or three.
The source of the plague was contaminated with all kinds of worldly breath, and it began to evolve into a contagious plague, which was the plague that Dr. Wan saw similar to the water plague.
Although it is a water plague, the types are different, and a new type of water plague has evolved to be more domineering and ferocious.
Dr. Wan's medical skills are not high, but he has been here for a long time, he understands the location, and he knows the water plague very well, so the snake fruit he chooses is also the right thing, but although the snake fruit is good, the harm is too great.
The snake fruit was mashed into juice and began to slowly drip into the mouths of the rest of the villagers, their symptoms were naturally different from Xu Wei's, not as fierce as Xu Wei's.
Under the feeding one by one, Dr. Wan looked at the villagers and checked the changes in the villagers' bodies.
"It's strange, in the past, the snake fruit was fierce, and it would hurt the body after driving away the water plague, but this time it couldn't dispel the water plague. ”
The change in the pulse is undoubtedly revealed, and the medicine of the tiger and wolf in the past has become like a little sheep, although it has the ability to restrain it, it is far from enough.
After taking the medicine, the villagers who suffered from the water plague are much better, and they are still far from being cured.
Tonight is destined to be unpeaceful, and everywhere outside the village, countless torches converge from various roads like fire dragons, and they are the people from each village who have come to question.
Jintao Village is the closest to the source of the plague, and it is also the first to break out, and the villages even believe that the people of Jintao Village brought the plague.
This time, I also came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
The people who are now falling in each village are all old people and children, and the leaders are all green, and their blood is strong.
"As you know, this disease has also probed some roots, but it is a water plague, born from a nearby river, and the source of birth is this person. ”
Doctor Wan looked at the menacing situation, and immediately understood that he had to hide it, and he needed the help of doctors from all villages to come up with a way to crack it, and he was already exhausted.
Fortunately, everyone knows his reputation as a doctor and respects him, but Xu Wei's figure is very terrifying to look at, and if he wasn't wearing clothes, he would almost not be considered a human being.
"What's this?"
"Is this the man who brought the plague?"
"Kill him, no, the fire burns, will everyone recover?" said a young man hopefully.
Doctor Wan looked at these blue shapes and showed excitement, and he also tried his best to appease.
On the sickbed, Xu Wei's body was as always, and if it weren't for the undulating chest, no one would think that he was still alive.
"Now the only chance of life is in this person, and not only the old people and children in your village, but even you are infected with the plague, this plague is far more powerful than all the previous water plagues, the snake fruit can only be suppressed, if you want to solve it, I am afraid there is another way,"
As soon as Dr. Wan explained, people from various villages also began to bring the news back, and some doctors also came from all over for consultation, wanting to break the hidden secrets of Xu Wei.
In the middle of the night, the carriages came towards Jintao Village again, all of them were respected doctors, who were closing their eyes and recuperating, they all knew that the danger of this plague was far worse than before, and if one was not careful, the entire nearby dozens of villages would be destroyed.
At this time, the breath in Xu Wei's body was finally straightened out, the plague was suppressed, and he opened his eyes in the dark night, shining brightly.
Chapter 357: Righteousness and Justice
The clouds cover the bright moon, and the wind sweeps the huts.
Under the thatched hut in Jintao Village, the three or five old men are carefully studying medical books with the help of candlelight, and occasionally make one or two debates.
With the help of snake fruit to cure water plague, they have been pinning their hopes on snake fruit for a long time.
On the sickbed, rows of old and young, and in another separately separated thatched house, Xu Wei also got up, looking at his own image, quite helpless.
After this difficulty, although he had not yet passed it, Xu Wei's perception of the way of the plague instantly rose to a higher level.
Now that the water source has passed, the plague has changed, and it has become a plague that can truly spread in the human world, and it will naturally be affected by the human medicine.
The road is simple, once this kind of plague is broadcast, the plague people will not be able to control it, they can only choose to stand by and watch, which can make the plague play the greatest role, if it is to be forcibly controlled, intervened, then the plague people who issued this spell will be harmed.
Under Xu Wei's careful induction, nearly 100,000 people in dozens of nearby villages were infected with the plague, and if it weren't for the fact that this place was relatively closed, the number of people infected to the outside world would be even higher.
Thanks to the breath of the plague that these 100,000 people were infected, the vitality in Xu Wei's body also recovered, as if these 100,000 people were allowed to bear Xu Wei's plague, and the 100,000 people shared the burden, which would naturally reduce its power.
Xu Wei also had some fears, if he returned to the barracks, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the source of this plague would naturally evolve into a suitable plague with the change of environment.
Fortunately, he did not return to the army at the beginning, and lowered the clouds at will, he adhered to the atmospheric luck, his life should not be extinguished, there is always a glimmer of life, and now the vitality is also found by Xu Wei.
After the outbreak of the plague went through the most violent level, it began to heal gradually, and Xu Wei could also feel that his body was constantly repairing at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.
And the most important thing is that after experiencing this plague, Xu Wei has changed from the source of the plague to the antidote to the plague, and any drop of blood, a piece of meat, and even a mouthful of saliva on his body has the medicinal properties to relieve the plague.
This is whether it is extremely Tailai.
And this bit by bit, it is a little source of life that contains Xu Wei's own, the plague man seems to be a silent blow, but it is one disaster after another, and the thunder is seen in the silent place, which is extremely terrifying, far more than which gorgeous and colorful spells.
A total of 100,000 people were infected with the plague, and although it evolved from the water plague, it was different, more violent, and more powerful. Xu Wei calculated that after the snake fruit was contained, these people would not live for ten days and half a month, and then it would break out again, and all of them would die.
This mountain village is about to turn into a dead domain, and the only solution is to abandon oneself and use one's own flesh and blood as medicine to solve the poison of this plague.
Xu Wei doesn't seem to care about death, in his opinion, there is the underworld after death, death is life, and there is reincarnation, life and death are endless, but he doesn't want 100,000 people to bear his cause and effect and die for him, which is not in line with his mind.
Sitting quietly in the hut, Xu Wei was like a statue, not moving at all, and now his heart was also in a struggle.
The plague man is an upright conspiracy, which cannot be resisted or stopped, and can only be continuously advanced step by step to break through the difficulties set by the plague man.
Here Xu Wei is caught in the decision, and the other two places also seem uncalm.
One is Xu Wei's Chu army camp, three days ago Xu Wei went to explore the checkpoint, but he disappeared without a trace, and no information was left, Xu Wei seemed to be out of nowhere, but now at a critical time, there is no trace, and all the people under his command are worried.
The other place is the Black Water Pass, the plague people are good at the art of plague and plague, although they are good at the escape technique, they are not proficient, Xu Wei turned into the wind, and he drifted away invisibly, and the plague people could not track it.
However, the plague people know the cause and effect, and ordinary people can suppress this kind of plague technique unless they have a magic weapon such as an innate spirit treasure, otherwise they will be unable to resist as a living being.
And the seemingly ordinary blow is not simple, the way of heaven is numerous, and it will not spread the plague and living beings at will, after this technique, there will be at least forty-nine years of peace between heaven and earth, and there will be no large-scale plague outbreaks, and the plague people cannot use the power of the rules of heaven to lay down the technique of punishing the plague, produce the source of the plague, and evolve the irresistible plague.
The plague man is naturally Gao Peng, located behind Heishui Pass, and also asked Wen Ke to secretly inquire about the movements nearby, especially whether there was any big commotion in the Chu military camp.
Wen Ke knew that the plague man and Xu Wei had been facing each other for a while, but he didn't understand the key inside, and he was still trying his best to investigate.
A rare water plague broke out in a mountain village near the south of Heishui Pass, and this news naturally reached Wen Ke's hands, and then to the ears of the plague people.
In a courtyard.
"I didn't expect that this Xu Wei had great luck, and the situation of a hundred deaths and a lifetime actually allowed him to escape, whether it was the army or himself, he always had to hurt one of them, and he actually appeared in the villages of some wild people. ”
The plague man listened to Wenke's report in surprise.
Wen Ke restrained his hands and stayed aside respectfully, he had a headache every noon in the past few days, he couldn't resist, all kinds of spells, medicine and stones were useless, but the plague man was a hard-hearted person, and he was not moved at all.
Wen Ke only asked that this period of time pass as soon as possible, so that he would not offend the plague people and be banned again.
"Could it be that Xu Wei, the king of Chu, is in that village. Wen Ke asked in surprise, and there were some guesses in his heart, at least the plague people would not spread the plague in the wild villages.
The plague man didn't answer, he just stood up and flew towards the outside world, which was the direction of the savage village, and Wenk followed.
As the person who planted the plague, as soon as he approached here, he could feel the existence of the plague, especially the position where Xu Wei was located, which was as eye-catching as the sun. Without the slightest hesitation, he went directly towards Jintao Village.
At this moment, all the doctors in Jintao Village also discussed a prescription, and if they wanted to try it, countless herbs mixed with snake fruits were boiling, which was quite meteorological.
"An immortal is coming. ”
"Are the immortals here for us?"
"It must have sensed that we were in trouble. ”
The people in the village, looking at the sky in the distance, an old Taoist with a fairy wind and a young Taoist priest flew in the air, prostrate on the ground one after another, constantly kowtowing, and called out in their mouths.
After one night, more people fell, which made all the villagers feel terrified, but this place was closed, and they could not find salvation from the great supernatural powers.
The two of them fell into the clouds, and in the crowd, led by Dr. Wan, they came towards the two of them.
"Are the immortals here to save us and other people who have suffered from the plague? After Dr. Wan couldn't wait to salute, he asked with sorrow, his eyes were full of hope, the more he studied this water plague, the more powerless his heart became.
Only the immortals who can fly in the sky are definitely not ordinary immortals, for Doctor Wan, cultivators are even immortals.
"Yes and no. The plague man shook his head, looked at a thatched house, and continued: "The dignified King of Chu, you still need a group of civilians to protect you, and you can't come out yet?"
Doctor Wan and the others were shocked, the King of Chu! Set up nine tripods and control the water in the world, is that the person? When they think of the demeanor of the King of Chu, how can they compare with that round monster.
The door of the thatched hut opened, Xu Wei's face remained unchanged and stepped out step by step, his physical body was almost recovered, his mana was running unhindered, he was wearing a white robe, and he was back to normal, he was like a handsome son, and he didn't see the slightest sense of loneliness.
Seeing this, a sneer appeared at the corner of the plague man's mouth, and he pointed at Xu Wei and said, "This person is the key to saving you." ”
He wanted to see if the king of Chu, who was incomparable in benevolence and righteousness, would choose to sacrifice 100,000 people to achieve himself.
ruining the reputation of people like the King of Chu who have the heart to fight for the dragon is also the biggest blow to such people.
Doctor Wan and the others looked ignorant, and they couldn't hear the mystery, but looked at the plague people.
"You are all infected with the plague, including your parents, children, relatives, etc., and the solution is to need a drop of blood from the people in front of you. "The plague people have experienced more than 2,000 years and have seen countless lives and deaths, and they have long looked down on them, especially the life and death of mortals, and said with a flat face.
"There is no other way to save the world. ”
Every word is an ordinary word, and the meaning of the words revealed is extremely cold.
"Really?"
Doctor Wan already knew that the person in front of him was the King of Chu, the world-famous King of Chu, even the name of the mountains and wilderness spread his fame, and his merits were beneficial to the name of the human race for eternity.
"It's true. Xu Wei didn't bother to hide it, although he didn't make up his mind in his heart, he nodded truthfully.
For a moment, everyone was stunned, not expecting that the solution would be like this.
After all, Doctor Wan had a lot of thoughts, and the entanglement between the two people who came and the King of Chu was not clear, and it was full of hostility, so he was suspicious in his heart, so he said: "What will happen if you take 100,000 drops of blood from the King of Chu?"
Xu Wei showed embarrassment, and he couldn't bear to say it.
"Every drop of blood is not ordinary blood, but contains a wisp of the source of life of Xu Wei, the king of Chu. ”
In fact, no matter how many drops, they all correspond to each other, if it is only a thousand people who let Xu Wei escape the art of torture and take out a thousand drops, Xu Wei will also die.
This is what the plague man said, he made a plan, put everything in front of others in a dignified manner, no matter what the result is for the plague man, the calculation of Xu Wei can be regarded as a success.
After that, there are countless follow-up moves waiting for Xu Wei, since he has chosen to be born, he will not be unknown.
After listening to this, the guess in his heart was also confirmed, and he looked at Xu Wei's face unchanged, thinking about the merits of King Chu that were circulating in the world.
One man and 100,000 people.
"I am willing to bear the plague for the king of Chu, and I hope that the king of Chu will not sacrifice his life to save ordinary civilians such as us. ”
Dr. Wan said.
Xu Wei glanced at him more, there was such a righteous person, but no one could sacrifice his life like Dr. Wan.
"King Chu, I am innocent, all the children in the family are in a coma, and I ask the king of Chu to save my family. ”
"My child still has a great future, please save us from the king of Chu. ”
"Help us. ”
Others didn't say a word about the need for the king of Chu to give up his life.
Under the righteousness, there are more sentient beings, and they think more about themselves, are they wrong? Yes, since the king of Chu came to this village, the plague has come, and he naturally knows it in his heart.
"If you want to blackmail this king with the lives of 100,000 people, isn't this old Tao really worried about bearing the cause and effect?" Xu Wei also wanted to question the old man in his heart, but chose to be silent.
"What is the joy of life, what is the pain of death, this life is weak and reluctant, and there are regrets in my heart, regrets for thousands of years, and I can't send them in half a day. ”
In a word, there is a choice.
