Chapter 8: The Poisonous Plague

That person was the cripple who Lan Chengyi caught Feng Zhiling to test the medicine last time.

"Wake him up, I'll ask him. Lan Chengyi said to Rouyi.

Rou Yi took out the medicine bottle from his body and poured a very fine glittering potional powder into the man's face.

As soon as the man woke up, he was still acting crazy, and Lan Chengyi had no choice but to freeze him.

Feng Zhiling was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't I give him the antidote at that time? Could it be that the antidote has failed?"

Lan Chengyi checked the man's dark skin, rolled the man's eyelids again, observed for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid not." He was poisoned by something else. You give him your Wind Scattering Pill and try it. "The Wind Scattering Pill is the elixir that Feng Zhiling has refined to cure madness.

After taking the Wind Scattering Pill, Lan Chengyi unlocked the man's acupoint, and the man took a sharp breath and said in a panic: "I don't want to die, help!"

Bo Yan Jingqiu and the others heard the noise and came back. After some communication between the bull's head and the horse's mouth, several people roughly understood the cause of the incident.

It turned out that this person ran out of Tong'an City, which was dozens of miles away. He went to Tong'an County a few months ago to ask for a "living", it was originally calm, but recently a plague began to circulate in the city, the symptoms of this plague initially began to turn black, slowly spread to the whole body, and then people will go crazy, become ignorant of six relatives, bite when they see people, and then they will turn black all over their bodies, and finally vomit black blood and die. The onset of the disease can be as fast as a few hours or as slow as more than ten days, and once bitten by an infected person, it will also be infected.

This person had just been infected, and because he was afraid of death, he tried his best to escape from the city.

Feng Zhiling frowned, and asked Lan Chengyi, "Does the Blue Immortal Master know about this disease?"

Lan Chengyi shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

"I want to check it out. Feng Zhiling said.

Lan Chengyi said: "Lan Xi, this plague is so terrible, you don't have a spell, aren't you worried about being infected?"

Feng Zhiling replied, "Aren't you here?"

"I didn't say I was going. I haven't appreciated enough of the beautiful scenery of the Shangsi Festival, why do you want to go to the Plague City?" Lan Chengyi stood up, turned around and pretended to enjoy the scenery along the river.

Feng Zhiling knows that he is usually unruly in his words and deeds, and he has always been a look of what the rise and fall of the world has to do with me, the life and death of the people in the world and what I have to suffer, and he can't wait to take the principle of doing things that has nothing to do with himself as the motto of Tianyin Pavilion.

But at this time, it was a matter of the lives of the people of a city, Feng Zhiling didn't expect him to have such an attitude, so he said unhappily: "The Blue Immortal Master has a long life, and there are endless beautiful women in his life, but tens of thousands of people in Tong'an County don't know if they can see the sun tomorrow." ”

"There are thousands of things in this world that will die today and live tomorrow, and if I have to worry about everything, I will not be too tired to live. Lan Chengyi waved his hand and said, "I'm not related to them, why waste my immortal method for no reason, don't have the strength to cultivate immortals." ”

Feng Zhiling saw that he was neither reasonable nor humane, full of crooked reasoning, very angry, but it was not easy to send it out, after all, if he didn't go, I was afraid that he would be helpless against the plague, so he had to coax him: "Blue Immortal Master, I beg you, I beg you to save their lives for the people of Tong'an County...... Come with me to Tong'an County, okay?"

Bo Yanjing looked at Lan Chengyi with his eyes, and Rou Yi held his hands on the side and looked coldly.

"If you can promise me one thing, I'll go with you. Lan Chengyi squinted.

"Okay," Feng Zhiling said when he saw that he was relieved, "Except for letting me worship you as a teacher, you can agree to everything else." ”

"Okay, you said it. I'll tell you when I remember something, and you won't be allowed to rely on it then. - Let's go!" As soon as Lan Chengyi put away the fan, he pulled Feng Zhiling and left, while explaining to Boyan Jingqiu: "Take this with you." ”

Feng Zhiling had a vague feeling of falling into a trap.

She remembered that her hat was still in the river, and she was about to ask Lan Chengyi for help, but before she could speak, Lan Chengyi had already taken back the hat with one hand, and then took it in her hand with luck, and the hat dried up instantly.

At this time, he didn't feel that he had wasted his immortal mana strength at all. He gently brushed Feng Zhiling's hair, put her hat on seriously, tidied it up again, and said with satisfaction: "Okay." Walk. ”

Boyan knocked the sick lame man unconscious, helped him, and several people flew with air, and after a short time, they came to the sky above Tong'an City.

Tong'an City is a quiet and stable ancient city, with a population of more than 80,000, but now it has become a prison city - the whole city is under martial law, the city gate is tightly sealed, and there are many heavy soldiers outside the gate, and no one enters or exits.

There were no people on the streets of the city, and they were empty and a little murderous.

Several people landed on a deserted street, looked around, and tried to find someone to inquire about the situation, but finally saw a person, and when they saw them, they avoided them from a distance. Because it is inconvenient to cast spells on civilians, it is not easy to force one or two people to come over casually.

They came to the door of a house, knocked on the door, and shouted inside, "Is there anyone? We are here to heal the doctor, please open the door!"

Knocking on the house again, there was a reply through the crack in the door: "We don't have any patients at home, don't come again!"

"Hurry up, get away!" "Don't knock on the door again!"

......

Rouyi said as she walked, "What's the matter with these people? We're not ghosts, why are you so afraid of us?"

Bo Yan said poorly: "Senior sister, if you are a ghost, you must be a beautiful and likable beautiful ghost." ”

When Lan Chengyi heard this, he also asked, "What about your master and me?"

Bo Yan replied: "If Master is a ghost, he is naturally the most handsome and graceful ghost king in the world. ”

Lan Chengyi accepted the praise with satisfaction.

Jingqiu also asked, "Senior brother, what about me?"

"You must be the stupidest and dumbest little ghost. Bo Yan teased.

Jing Qiu pouted to indicate that he was not satisfied with this answer, and asked instead, "What about Lan Xi?"

Feng Zhiling thought to herself, what these people were afraid of should be something else. She listened casually to the childish nonsense of these people, and Bo Yanzheng replied, "Lan Xi, ......"

At this moment, they passed through a small narrow alley, and were about to knock on the door of a house, when the door of one of the houses on the opposite side creaked open, and a head poked out of the crack in the door. It was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, short and pitiful, wearing dirty and patched clothes, his face was half covered with gauze, and his two eyes were embarrassed.

Feng Zhiling hurriedly walked over and asked, "Little brother, we are the doctors who have come to treat the disease, can you tell us what the current situation of the plague in this city is?"

"It's like a soul collector who eats people and tricks people into forgetting who they are. Bo Yan finished the second half of the sentence, but unfortunately only Feng Zhiling didn't hear it.

The young man looked at the black cripple who had fainted, and said for a while: "This city is very dangerous, and everyone is afraid to go out - you are outsiders, right? Don't wander around anymore, otherwise you may be infected at any time." Also, that person has been infected, so stay away from him. ”

"Rest assured, his illness has been temporarily contained by us. Feng Zhiling said, "Do you know where those plague patients are? ”

Only then did the young man let down his guard a little and said, "Those who are sick are all locked up in the City God Temple in the north of the city. Many doctors have been infected in the process of treatment, and now there are no normal doctors in the city. Do you dare to go?"

"We're no ordinary countrymen. Lan Chengyi shook his fan lightly, and stood behind Feng Zhiling at some point, leaned over and pretended to be mysterious to the young man: "We are immortals." ”

The young man in the crack of the door probably heard others introduce himself as a fairy for the first time, and he was half-convinced, but when he saw that these people were immortal, and their demeanor was indeed different from ordinary people, he pointed to the right and said: "The city god temple goes right from this alley, goes to the end and turns left, then turns right at the first intersection, and then turns into a small alley along the road, and then turns left again, and walks forward for about half an hour, on the right side of the road." ”

Feng Zhiling listened to him finish the route, looked dazed, and asked with a smile: "Huh...... Little brother, can you show us the way?"

The young man hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded with a kind of courage to die. The group followed him to the City God Temple.

"Little brother, what's your name?" Feng Zhiling asked.

"Everybody calls me wood. The boy said.

"Wood is a nickname, isn't it? Didn't your father give you a big name?" Feng Zhiling asked.

"My parents died when I was a child. ”

It turned out to be an orphan with no father and no mother. Feng Zhiling felt a hint of pity and asked, "What's the matter with the gauze on your face?"

Mu Tou was stunned, and then told Feng Zhiling about the ups and downs of his life concisely.

It turned out that the wood was sold into a rich family as the lowest slave since he was a child, and a few years later because he was wrongfully stolen, he was driven out by the rich and noble family, wandering on the streets, and was not long taken in by a Taoist temple, and lived a peaceful life for a while, but unfortunately later the Taoist temple caught fire, and he was wronged as a murderer, so he was driven out of the Taoist temple. Later, he went to work in a merchant's house, but encountered this plague, and the merchant's whole family was plagued, and he died, and he went crazy, but fortunately, the merchant rented a hut for the long-term workers, and before the lease expired, he could still have a temporary place to commit. And the wound on his face was accidentally burned in the fire of the Taoist temple.

Feng Zhiling thought to herself that this child's life experience was too tortuous and miserable, and compared to him, he simply didn't know how lucky he was. But his own face was calm and composed, and he didn't show much self-pity, and he couldn't help but appreciate her.

Lan Chengyi was not interested in chatting with the little dirty child, he was like a boy playing in the mountains and rivers along the way, watching the scenery along the road. There are some willow trees planted at the water's edge in the city, and it is the season of catkins, and I see light flying flakes floating all around, like snow.

Lan Chengyi watched a piece of catkins spin a few times in the air, and landed lightly on Feng Zhiling's shoulder. He reached out to grab the catkins, and was about to touch Feng Zhiling's back, when she looked back at him inexplicably as if she had a sense.

Lan Chengyi's heart tightened, the catkins were not caught, and floated to the back of Feng Zhiling's hand.

"Don't move—" Lan Chengyi grabbed Feng Zhiling's wrist, "There's a piece of catkins." ”

Feng Zhiling saw the light catkins on the back of her hand, grabbed it in her hand, opened her palm and blew it gently, letting it float away.

"Lan Xian, you are really leisurely and elegant. Feng Zhiling said helplessly.

Lan Chengyi was about to speak, when Mu said, "The City God Temple is in front of you, go over by yourself." ”

Feng Zhiling looked at the intersection, the city god temple had a high wall and a thick door, and the gate was blocked from the outside with several large iron locks, but it couldn't close the terrible screams coming from inside. She was about to speak to Lan Chengyi, when she saw him walk forward, leap lightly, and stand on the wall of the City God Temple.

Mu Wuzi's eyes widened, let out an exclamation, and saw Rouyi, who was dressed in red, also fluttering on the wall, that pair of figures, one delicate red and one dark green, just like a fairy couple.

"Sister Green, are you really immortals?" asked Feng Zhiling blankly, "Can you really cure the plague in our city?"

Feng Zhiling said with a smile: "The four of them are indeed immortals, but I am just a mortal like you, and I can only do some superficial kung fu to cure diseases and prepare pills." ”

"Since my sister said so, there must be a way to cure the plague. Wood's eyes were full of excitement and hope.

Feng Zhiling shouted to Lan Chengyi: "Blue Immortal Master, take me over to have a look!"

Lan Chengyi turned back to Feng Zhiling and said, "The situation inside is not good, it's better for you not to go in." I'll go with Rouyi first, and a few of you will be waiting for us outside. ”

Of course, Feng Zhiling disagreed, and shouted, "If you don't take me in, I'll climb in by myself." ”

Lan Chengyi had no choice but to jump off the wall to take her and say to the rest of the people: "You guys wait outside first." ”
