159, the mystery of Luoyang Mountain
Pestilence!
There was a shock in everyone's hearts, no matter what the era, the plague was enough to make anyone's heart tremble. Especially in this era, without a clever payment, even a cold may kill people, let alone the plague.
If that's the case, it makes sense why Xiao Qianye killed those people. Lin Changfeng said with a solemn expression. Not to kill people, but to... Stop the spread of the plague. Of course, the elimination of the mouth is also one of the reasons. After all, once the plague spreads outside, the imperial court may not have time to take care of it in a short time, but after this matter is over, the matter of Luoyang Mountain will inevitably be exposed.
Nangong Mo got up and said, "I'll go to Luoyang Mountain to meet my senior brother." Jun Mo, Changfeng, you ......
I'll go with you. Wei Junmo grabbed Nangong Mo and said in a deep voice, If you go to Xiao Qianye alone, you may not listen to you. Changfeng, the affairs of Lingzhou will be handed over to you. Lin Changfeng also knew the seriousness of the matter, and there was no trace of banter on his face, so he nodded heavily and said: Don't worry. Be careful, too.
Facing Shangwei Junmo's firm look, Nangong Mo also knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to sigh silently.
At the moment, they didn't dare to delay any longer, and the two immediately rushed to Luoyang Mountain with people and horses. Luoyang Mountain is on the border of Lingzhou, more than 200 miles away from Lingzhou City, and Nangong Mo and his party rushed to Luoxia Town, the closest town to Luoyang Mountain, in the evening of the next day. It's getting late, not to mention that the situation in Luoyang Mountain is not clear now, and it is not suitable to enter rashly, so I decided to rest in Luoxia Town now and wait until dawn tomorrow to sit down.
As soon as I entered the town, I realized that something was wrong. The people coming and going on the street didn't seem to be anything unusual, but the people who came with Nangong Mo and the others were all masters of the Zixiao Palace, so they could naturally sense that something was wrong. On street corners, there are many hidden places where you can feel that someone is peeping. This kind of spy killer is the most keen, and they have never stopped this voyeuristic gaze from the moment they step into this town.
Wei Junmo glanced sideways at the room behind him, and nodded slightly without changing the color of the room. Quietly disappeared into the crowd, Nangong Mo leaned next to Wei Junmo and whispered: Is it a person from the rivers and lakes? Wei Junmo lowered his eyes and said lightly: It's not like it, there are not many forces in the rivers and lakes who are willing to get involved in the affairs of the court. Although many powerful families inevitably worship a few masters of the rivers and lakes for backup, most of the people who can really be invited by them are some scattered people in the rivers and lakes, and those Jianghu sects with strong organizational strength will not be lightly involved in these things.
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, at this time, there is only Xiao Qianye who still has this strength in Lingzhou. Could it be that Xiao Qianye is also here?
Wei Junmo nodded slightly, this place is the closest to Luoyang Mountain, even if Xiao Qianye comes over to deal with this matter in person, he will definitely not be suspected, and it is not a strange thing to be here. Now that you know who it is, things are much easier. Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and smiled: We are also tired after a day's journey, let's find a place to rest first.
There are only two inns in Luoxia Town, and Nangong Mo naturally chose which one is better. As soon as he walked to the door, Nangong Mo paused and couldn't help but smile.
Wei Junmo looked down at her and asked her what was the matter with his eyes?
Nangong Mo smiled silently, but pulled Wei Junmo into the inn quickly.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a young man in white sitting in the lobby of the inn pouring himself a drink. At this time, there were very few people who came to stay in the hotel, and he was the only one in the huge inn lobby. Seeing Nangong Mo and the others walking in, the young man raised his eyebrows and smiled: You guys are coming quickly.
Nangong Mo smiled helplessly and said: Senior brother's letter wrote that kind of thing, who would dare to delay.
The young man waved away the shopkeeper who saw the guests and wanted to come forward, beckoned to the two of them and said: Come and sit down and say, the shopkeeper, send some food first. It was rare to see the senior brother so considerate, Nangong Mo smiled lightly and pulled Wei Junmo over and sat down. The young man of the string song looked at the two of them idly, and finally his eyes fell on Nangong Mo's face and smiled: It seems that you are doing well, no one bullies you?
Nangong Mo smiled and said helplessly: Senior brother, who can bully me?
The string song boy nodded and said in agreement: Yes, no one can bully you unless you are willing. Wei Shizi, don't you say?
Wei Junmo took a sip of the wine that the string singer put in front of him, and said indifferently: Senior brother is bothered.
…… The handsome face of the string song boy, who smiled like a spring breeze, suddenly stiffened a little. Brother or something... Who is your brother?
Nangong Mo looked at the two of them, lowered his head and forcibly held back the smile in his heart. The young man of the string song snorted lightly and said lightly: Mo'er, since you left Danyang, you can be regarded as a good person. Now when it comes to the name of the county lord of Star City, we are afraid that everyone in Daxia knows it. Nangong Mo hurriedly smiled and said: Where, the son of the string song is the only one in the rivers and lakes, and it is wonderful.
Flattering. Xian Ge glanced at her and said: Originally, I thought that you had worked hard for so many things, but now that I see you like this, I am afraid that I am also happy to suffer, so I will not be verbose. Don't you want to know why I'm here? In fact, Xian Ge also knows that it is better to marry his wife back home and be spoiled by thousands of pets, so as not to be subjected to the slightest wind and rain. It is rare for Wei Junmo to be a person like Wei Junmo who is willing to let Nangong Mo go out and walk, and even participate in his own business. After all, this little sister of her own family is not an ordinary lady in the boudoir, if she really takes care of her, she is not allowed to touch the spring water, and she is only raised in the boudoir, and it is difficult to say how long she can endure it.
Nangong Mo nodded and asked, "Why is Senior Brother here?"
Xian Ge said: Before your wedding, I once passed through Lingzhou to visit an old friend, and he lived in the mountains not far from Luoxia Town.
That... This gentleman?
He's dead. Xian Ge said in a deep voice, it can be seen that the mood of the young man of Xian Ge is not very good when he mentions this matter, although he is very old, but as a person who practices martial arts, he is still in good health. He was rarely sick, but when I went he was already dying in bed. Not only him, but also the two attendants who took care of him by his side also died. He was the only one left when I went, covered in a kind of turquoise marking. I've never seen this disease, and I didn't even have time to ask what he did. At that time, I rushed to Jinling, and had no choice but to revitalize his body and bury it. After you got married, I thought about it and felt a little strange, so I came back to take a look. Among his relics, he found a letter he left for me, in which he said that he had been collecting medicine in Luoyang Mountain for half a month, and he got lost and walked into the depths of Luoyang Mountain for a while. The place was very secretive, and there were heavy guards in the mountains, and he always thought that it was some mine of the imperial court and didn't want to deal with the people in the court, so he never approached there.
The young man looked at the two of them and continued: After entering, he also avoided the guards and tried his best to find a way out, but he didn't want to crash into a mass grave. In the mass grave, he accidentally got his left foot cut by a piece of wood on the ground, and his foot was bare. He didn't feel anything at the time, but the marks started to grow on his body two days later. He also knew some medical skills himself, and when he found that he couldn't cure him and planned to go down the mountain to find a doctor, he found that his two attendants were sick, and the symptoms were exactly the same as his. He knew they might have contracted an infectious disease and then gave up the idea of going down the mountain, not to mention... In fact, there is no one around here who is better than him. The two attendants did not know martial arts, and they died four days later, and he dragged on for a few days with the medicine he had prepared, during which he also discovered that the disease they had replaced was caused by the wound he had brought out of the Sunset Mountain. He also fed his own blood to a medicine rat that he had kept with him all year round, and the medicine rat died that night. Knowing that his life was short, he had to leave a letter and burn it with the coffins of his two attendants before he died......
After listening to the words of the string song boy, Nangong Mo also had mixed feelings, but he knew that the words of the string song had not been finished. Sure enough, I only listened to the string song: After reading the letter, I followed the route mentioned in his letter and touched the Luoyang Mountain......
Brother! Nangong Mo said in a deep voice. The young man raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Mo'er, you should know that if there is anyone in this world who is finally infected with any plague or poison, it is me." What are you worried about?
Nangong Mo was silent, what Xian Ge said was right, even Nangong Mo couldn't compare with him. Xian Ge grew up with his master and uncle, although he did not do his job and crossed over from a top master to a miracle doctor, but because of this, Nangong Mo's unreliable master loved Xian Ge when he was a child. It is said that the string song was carried back from the snow by two old people, and it was seen that it could not be fed, thanks to the master who used various decoctions to soak it like bath water. It's been a long time since the string song boy, which is almost lined with the constitution of the listing that is invincible to all evils. Although the master and uncle also love Nangong Mo very much, or even more, but in the end, Nangong Mo was already eleven years old when he started, and he missed the best time. The difference between these five years and more than 20 years is quite obvious.
Seeing that Nangong Mo stopped talking, the young man of Xiange said: When I went in, I found that the situation inside was worse than what was written in Uncle Wu's letter. The plague inside... Well, it's not much the same as his when it comes to poison. It took half a month for Uncle Wu to die from his injuries, and it took four days for his two attendants to die from the onset of his illness. The people in there seem to be better... People who don't have martial arts can take off ten days and half a month after being infected. The most important thing is that they don't have that kind of scars on their bodies, and the dead people are all scratched by themselves and their skin is festering and dying.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a little longer? Nangong Mo said, the longer the time drags on, the greater the hope of surviving.
Xian Ge sighed and said: If this is the case, it will be good. However, this also means that no one can tell if they are infected or not. You know, people who work as coolies in those kinds of places don't really care about the occasional itch. The onset of this disease is gradual and easy to ignore at first. If you don't pay attention, you won't see anything at all. From what I observed at the time, at least four or five of the ten people I met along the way were actually infected. It's been another four days since I went to Sunset. Also, that kind of disease seems to have some inhibitory effect when it is in Luoyang Mountain. I brought out one of the people who had just contracted the disease, and he died just one day after he came out.
After listening to the string song, the expressions of both of them became a little solemn. Asked: Senior brother, can you be sure that this disease has not spread?
Xian Ge hesitated for a moment and said, "No." The people in the mountains are not stupid, and they may not find out that there is a problem there. Moreover, when I returned, I found many wild beasts in the mountains that had been bitten to death, and it was probably ......
Nangong Mo rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, that senior Wu... Is the disease 100% contagious, or... Just an accident?
Xian Ge said: This should be contagious only if there is close contact. If it's really 100% contagious, so long... There can't be anyone else in the Sunset Mountain. Of course, it is not excluded that some people are still sending people inside. I'm going to go into the mountains and take a look, and I'll leave this outside to you. Preferably... Send troops to blockade this place within a radius of 100 miles. Otherwise, I think we're going to be in big trouble. Other than that... Your eldest grandson, let him not be busy trying to kill people, this is a mountain, not a city. There are many wild beasts in the mountains, but people are not the only ones who can be infected with the plague, and they are really anxious for those beasts to run out...
Nangong Mo nodded, we know, senior brother, I'll go with you.
No way. Wei Junmo said in a deep voice. Nangong Mo looked at him sideways, Wei Junmo raised his hand and touched her cheek and said: I will go with Gongzi Xiange, you stay.
Nangong Mo rolled his eyes, don't make trouble, you don't know medical skills, what's the use of going? And you also said that the emperor's eldest grandson really wants to come, and I can't stop him. The county lord sounds like a level, but how can it really be a level? What's more, Lingzhou is Xiao Qianye's fiefdom, if Xiao Qianye is really determined to break the cauldron, Nangong Mo may not be able to stop him.
Wei Junmo was unmoved, he was not allowed to go, if he didn't work, he would let people stun Xiao Qianye, and I would explain to His Majesty when I returned to Jinling.
But... Nangong Mo frowned and said: Although I am not as good as my senior brother, I am at least better than you. In case of......
I have internal strength to protect my body, as long as I am not injured externally, I am not so susceptible to infection. Wei Jun said unexpectedly.
The young man looked at the two who were arguing, touched his nose and coughed lightly: Okay, Mo'er, let Wei Shizi go with me.
Why?! Nangong Mo was displeased, it was obvious that it was more appropriate for her to go, Wei Junmo didn't know any medical skills, and he couldn't help his senior brother if he went. The young man of the string song said leisurely: His martial arts are not high.
Nangong Mo looked at Senior Brother with blank eyes, Senior Brother, do you dislike me?
I am. Xian Ge Gongzi is not polite at all, put your life in your hands or in the hands of Wei Shizi, no matter how you think it is safer to choose him, right?
Wei Junmo said comfortingly: Don't worry, it'll be fine.
The young man of the string song looked at the two of them, it turned out that he was worried about the safety of his husband, but sure enough, he was an outgoing girl, and no one was worried about my senior brother.
Since the senior brother wants people to worry, let's find a sister-in-law to come back as soon as possible. Nangong Mo was not shy, and said with a smile.
To go to such a dangerous place, don't worry about it being fake. Nangong Mo naturally knew the reason why Wei Junmo refused to let him go, but Wei Junmo was worried about her, and she was also worried about Wei Junmo. In the room, looking at Wei Junmo who was sitting on the side, your model sighed and said: Senior brother, the medicine there must be well prepared, and I didn't bring all the things I brought when I went out this time, so I don't have to worry about this. It's just that you have to be careful not to get hurt in that kind of place.
Knowing the uneasiness in her heart, Wei Junmo reached out and pulled her to sit down beside him, and said softly: Don't worry, I'll be careful. You must also be careful in Luoxia Town, this time the matter is not trivial, forcing Xiao Qianye to do anything.
Nangong Mo smiled lightly: Don't worry, when do you think I suffered a loss at Xiao Qianye's hands?
Wei Junmo said: I have already asked Fang Jiang to transfer all the people from Zixiao Palace. You can feel it at noon tomorrow at the latest, and if things are out of control, you will immediately take someone out of here. I'll get out of it with the chord singer, don't worry about us. Nangong Mo smiled indifferently, held his hand and said in a deep voice: I am here waiting for you and Senior Brother to come back. Rest assured, I'll be careful with my own safety, you know, I'm not someone who likes to put my life on the line.
Thinking of Nangong Mo Suri's actions, Wei Junmo nodded slightly. He took her into his arms and said softly: Don't be afraid, I'll be back soon.
I really want to beat Xiao Qianye hard. No matter what Xiao Qianye instigated from time to time in this matter, it has nothing to do with him. Nangong Mo really wanted to beat him all over the place.
When you get back, I'll beat you up. Wei Junmo said softly.
