Chapter 826: A Strange Plague
The characteristics of this plague are not only fast spreading, but also extremely ferocious, which can completely kill people in just one or two days, and even become more contagious.
For a time, those mortals in the vicinity of the plague spread to themselves, just before the plague spread to themselves, fled in panic and moved their families.
This catastrophe soon reached the ears of the emperor of the Lishui Kingdom, and he directly asked for help from the only sect in their country, and this sect was the Medicine King Valley of the Heavenly Dao Domain known for its medical skills.
The Medicine King Valley can only be regarded as a second-rate sect, the strongest of which is the peak of refining the Void Combination Dao, and there are not many people in the Medicine King Valley, and it is even described as a scarcity of disciples, plus the people in the Medicine King Valley are the best at medical skills, so their combat power is generally slightly weaker, but the prestige of the Medicine King Valley in the Heavenly Dao Domain is not low, even if the monk will not get sick, he will still be injured or something, especially when it is serious, the Medicine King Valley has become the first choice.
Moreover, the Medicine King Valley does not refuse people who come to treat the sick, and they never ask what the origin of this patient is, they are just responsible for trying to let every patient who comes here leave safely, especially the Medicine King Valley never asks about the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes, so its existence will not conflict with any forces, so the Medicine King Valley can be regarded as a transcendent place, and it is also respected by many people.
The only sect in Lishui is the Medicine King Valley, and it is also because of the existence of the Medicine King Valley that the peace and prosperity of the Lishui Kingdom have been created, so in the face of this sudden plague, the first thing that the emperor of the Lishui Kingdom thought of was the Medicine King Valley.
For such a thing, the Medicine King Valley naturally stepped forward to stop the spread of the plague, in fact, they did not disappoint, and quickly controlled the spread of the plague, but what people didn't expect was that the plague here had just been controlled, and there was a plague in another place inexplicably, and it was the same plague.
As soon as this kind of thing appeared, countless people were puzzled, this plague can spread, but it can't appear irregularly, it was in the east before, and it suddenly appeared in the west, and there is still a long way in between
What's even more unexpected is that after the people in the Medicine King Valley rushed to the second place where the plague broke out, news of the appearance of the plague also came in other places, and there was more than one place, and it was an unrelated place, and the plague broke out in more places at once, and there were quite a few of them, but there were only a dozen people in the Medicine King Valley, and there were even fewer people who were really proficient in medical skills, only a few people, so that they wanted to stop the outbreak of the plague in various places, but they were also lacking in skills and powerless.
At this moment, everyone in the entire Yeosu country was panicked, no one knew where this sudden plague would appear next time, and even if they wanted to hide, they didn't know where to hide, so they could only wait for the choice of fate in a restless mood.
In order to deal with this strange plague, the Medicine King Valley can only ask some surrounding sects to help, with the reputation of the Medicine King Valley, naturally many monks come to help, and with the addition of these monks, it is true that the menacing plague has been alleviated to a large extent, but it still does not solve the continuous transfer of the plague, this plague is like fighting a guerrilla war with humans, changing places with one shot, making people overwhelmed.
Hualin Village, which is only a small village in Lishui and close to the border of this country, is also the first place to be ravaged by the plague.
A young man and a woman slowly flew through the sky, but they soon sensed that something was wrong below and stopped.
This is a pair of men and women who look to be in their twenties, the young man is wearing a gray robe, his face is ordinary and indifferent, and the woman next to him is tall, making him look slightly slender, wearing an off-white slim long skirt, outlining the slender figure, the pretty face under the long black hair, but there is a faint coldness, at first glance is a woman who is indifferent.
The strength of this pair of young men and women is also just the peak of refining gods, so they can't find anything outstanding in them at all, and such people are also common in the cultivation realm.
It's just that now they all looked at the dead village below with a suspicious face, and after scanning for a moment, they couldn't find a single person in this village, not even a single poultry.
"Brother Qin, what's going on" The tall woman couldn't help but look at the young man beside her.
This gray-clothed young man was none other than Qin Mu after leaving the Death Desert, in order not to attract attention, he just let Xiaohong follow him alone, and they all changed their appearance and hid their true realm.
"Let's go down and see."
Qin Mu and Xiaohong landed on the only road in the village, and kept scanning the buildings on both sides of the road, some of the gates were closed, some were open, and the only thing they had in common was that there were no people.
"There is a kind of dead silence in this village, if you guess correctly, there have been many deaths here, but there is no bloody meaning here, obviously it is not caused by someone killing here, this is a bit strange" Qin Mu is also a little strange, if there is a monk slaughtering a village, then the atmosphere in this village is more bloody and all kinds of grievances in addition to dead silence, but there is no here, only dead silence.
It's not that Qin Mu hasn't seen the destruction of a village, and even, he has seen this situation a lot in the Thirty-Six Divine Prefectures, but the Hualin Village in front of him makes him a little unsure of what caused this situation.
Xiaohong suddenly said: "Brother Qin, since a lot of people have died here, but now we don't see a single corpse, will it be buried, then as long as we find these corpses, we should be able to see something."
Hearing this, Qin Mu couldn't help but smile and said, "You're still smart."
Xiaohong sneered and said, "I think it's Brother Qin, you deliberately didn't say it, come and test me."
Qin Mu smiled and didn't speak, his eyes immediately turned pale gold, and he began to scan the surrounding underground.
The reason why he let Xiaohong follow him alone is because there are many people who are a little eye-catching, but there is also a lot of experience in Xiaohong, just because she is the leader of the zodiac, and her wisdom and every decision determines the fate of the zodiac, so she has to be better than everyone else in the zodiac, and this so-called excellence is not only in strength, but also in wisdom.
After just a few breaths, Qin Mu dispersed the Tianyantong, but shook his head with a wry smile and said, "There are no corpses, just some buried urns, and the names of those villages are cremated."
"This" Xiaohong was also a little stunned, she wanted to find a few corpses to see what was going on here, but only the ashes were found.
Qin Mu sighed lightly and said, "Let's go to other places to see, I hope we won't see such a place again."
As soon as the words fell, Qin Mu and Xiaohong rose into the air and quickly walked away.
Qin Mu and the others were like two normal Refining God Returning Void Cultivators flying, not slow or hurried, but their divine sense kept scanning everything below, but as they continued to advance, their expressions became more and more unsightly.
It's just that they saw a lot of empty villages, all of which were lifeless, and they were almost the same as the Hualin Village they had seen before.
"It seems that something really is wrong here" It would not be a big deal if there was an empty village, but this empty village that appeared one after another was too abnormal.
After flying out of a hundred miles, Qin Mu and the others finally found a few people and a few old people in a village, and there were only a few old people left in this village.
Qin Mu and Xiaohong fell quickly, and came directly to the door of a farmer's house and knocked on the door.
An old voice came from the room: "Who?"
"Old man, our brother and sister are passing by here, they are really a little thirsty, I don't know that it is inconvenient for the old man, let us beg for a bowl of water to drink"
After Qin Mu took a few breaths after saying this, the door was opened, revealing an old man over seventy years old, wearing ordinary linen clothes on the clumsy body, his wrinkled face and gray hair telling him of his old age.
The old man's cloudy eyes swept over Qin Mu and Xiaohong, and he smiled: "This little brother, it's not that the old man is unwilling to give you a bowl of water to drink, but that there has just been a plague near our village, although it has not yet affected us, but the groundwater may not be safe, so the old man can only refuse you."
"Plague"
Qin Mu couldn't help but sigh lightly, but he seemed to understand a little in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Old man, you're not all right here, we won't be fine if we drink saliva."
"I'm a person who has half a foot in the coffin, what else do I care, it's better to be careful when you are young, you see that there are a few of us old guys left in this village now, and the rest of the people are afraid of the plague, so they all left in advance"
Qin Mu's heart moved, but his face did not show anything, patted his chest, and said with a smile: "We young people are in good health, even if there is a plague, we are not afraid, old man, you still have a good heart, give a bowl of water to drink."
The old man smiled helplessly: "Okay, you guys come first to rest."
"Thank you"
Qin Mu and the others followed the old man into the house, and went directly to the kitchen, lifted the lid of the water tank, and Qin Mu unceremoniously picked up the water and scooped a bowl of water.
After that, Qin Mu wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and also filled a bowl of water for Xiaohong, Xiaohong smiled slightly, took the water bowl, and did the same, but it was much more elegant than Qin Mu.
"Old man, can you tell us about the plague?"
