Chapter 841: The Necessary Ritual of Spells
Liu Cheng and Yelu Xie set off again towards the small city of Huanglong Mansion, but as they went deeper, Liu Cheng and Ye Lu Xie finally couldn't see the tragic situation of a corpse in a hundred steps.
They saw burned villages, they saw fields where no one cultivated roe deer and hares, they saw a desolation, but they saw a glimmer of order.
Especially when they saw countless newly erected tombs, they finally smelled that this trace of order really existed in Huanglong Mansion.
More than 20 miles away from Huanglong Mansion, in the boundary where they could already see Huanglong Mansion from afar, they found high poles stretching into the sky, and on those high poles, there were corpses inserted.
"Who are you?!" A loud shout suddenly appeared, a man holding a recurve bow, the full moon stretched the bow to shoot a bow and arrows at any time, while another horseman galloped back to the Huanglong Mansion to report the news.
Liu Cheng turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile of surprise: "We thought that Huanglong Mansion was already a dead place, thought it was a desolate place, and thought it would be full of corpses, but seeing that there are still patrolling guards, it is really the blessing of the Great Song Emperor, and I am glad that you still have order." ”
"Put down the bow and arrows, this is a five-layer cowhide armor, the bow and arrow in your hand can't shoot through this thing, unless you can push out the bed crossbow of the Huanglong Mansion."
The bow and arrow in Han'er's hand shot out violently, pierced in front of Liu Cheng, and said, "Why is there so much nonsense!" Who are you?! ”
Yelu Xie laughed and said: "The Imperial City Division dares to fight as the seventh dare team, Yelu Xie." ”
"The people of the Great Song Dynasty?" Han'er finally put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and said with concern: "Is General Yue coming?" Huanglong Mansion has lost order, the Jin people have given up Huanglong Mansion, we have lit sky lanterns for all the Jin people stationed in Huanglong Mansion, please let General Yue hurry up and march, every day of delay, more people will die. ”
"We have no experience in dealing with this invisible enemy, who is silently taking everyone's lives like ghosts."
Han'er couldn't cry a little as he spoke, during this time he had seen too much life and death, seen too much death, and had become numb to the point where he felt it was natural to see someone die.
But when he suddenly heard that it was the Song people who came to the Huanglong Mansion, he suddenly had hope! It was as if I had passed through a deep cave and suddenly saw the light at the entrance of the cave.
"Who is in charge of order in Huanglong Mansion?" Liu Cheng, like all Khitans, has the habit of saying rankings, which is also a bad habit of the Khitans, he has paid attention to it, but occasionally makes this kind of mistake.
Han'er wiped away her tears and said, "It's some associations in Huanglong Mansion, and there are some bandits who are in contact with the associations. We thought that the plague was profitable, so we took the opportunity to enter the Huanglong Mansion and wanted to rob, only to find that the epidemic was a bit ferocious. ”
Liu Cheng soon met the leaders of the Huanglong Mansion, they were all groups and bandits, and they could only barely maintain order and transport the dead out of the city for burial, but they could not stop the plague god from taking one life after another.
"Venerable angel, please ask the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to receive the supernatural powers, the people of Huanglong Mansion have already learned the lesson they deserve, and we really know that we are wrong."
"We have inserted all the golden people on the high pole, hoping that the Great Song Emperor will see the sincerity of our repentance when he patrols the heavens." Chang Lin trembled and lay on the ground, he was the representative of the dragon head of all the associations.
When I heard that the angels of the Great Song Dynasty had arrived at the Huanglong Mansion, I was apprehensive after being pleasantly surprised.
Liu Cheng and Yelu glanced at each other, and from behind the goggles with their beaks, they saw each other's helplessness, and the purpose of killing Jin Ren was to sacrifice to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.
What kind of strange logic is this?
The rumor that the Great Song Emperor was the reincarnation of Yama, of course they had heard of it, of course they had always regarded it as a joke, and it was the Jin people's act of stigmatizing the Great Song Emperor, but this stigmatization actually had a strange effect at this time.
"Ahem, this is the plague, this is not Tianwei." Liu Cheng corrected Chang Lin's rhetoric, even if he knew that recognizing the Tianwei of the Great Song Emperor at this time would be more conducive to the process of returning the Huanglong Mansion to the Song Dynasty, but even if it was thousands of miles away, he did not want to stigmatize the Great Song Emperor.
In his heart, the reputation of the Great Song Emperor is several points more important than the ownership of any city.
Chang Lin thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head and said: "What the angel says is what it is, we are all rough people and don't understand these truths, and ask the angel to tell us what we should do to stop the plague from taking our lives." ”
Of course, Liu Cheng knew that when Zong Ze extinguished the Ezhou water epidemic, the slogan shouted by the official family was that man will win the day. But apparently talking to these dragon leaders about this kind of slogan is of no use at all.
Liu Cheng said helplessly: "Reduce any unnecessary travel, everyone stays at home, if there is a dead person, be sure to burn the corpse, and treat all the patients in a centralized manner, of course, this plague, even the Great Song Dynasty's Hu Shen Doctor is helpless, infection is death." ”
"Boil the ashes and sprinkle them in all the sick homes."
"Going door-to-door to check the corpses and burning them in a centralized manner needs to be done before General Yue comes to the Huanglong Mansion."
"I also try to cover my mouth and nose as much as possible, use a mask if I don't have a hood, and wrap it in a cloth if I don't have a mask. Before taking off the mask, be sure to wash your hands with soap or plant ash, you know? ”
"I will write to Bianjing and ask the officials to decide. In fact, I did it before I went into town. ”
Chang Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief, when the lives of nearly 200,000 people in the city were on his back, he really dreamed that countless unjust souls were asking for his life, if he could regret it, he would definitely not enter the city to rob.
Now that someone tells him what to do, of course he will do it. Although he did not know why he covered his mouth and nose with a cloth and washed his hands, he did so.
He considered it a necessary ritual for spells.
After Chang Lin left, Liu Cheng shook his head with a smile and said: "The Jin people in power can actually ignore the life and death of the people, and they have to do these righteous and reckless things to maintain order. ”
Chang Lin moved quickly, he ordered all the brothers and bandits of the Righteous Society to take action, tore the cloth and wrapped it around his face, and began to carry out the first order to keep the people at home.
"Get out of the house! Let me see people on the street again! I'll knock their teeth out! But if you don't cooperate and don't listen to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will come to the door to kill the troublesome turtle grandson! As long as they are caught by Lao Tzu, they will screw their heads off! ”
Chang Lin scolded and went out into the street with long and short soldiers in his hands, and all the brothers of the Righteous Society were driving people on the street.
They beat the people in the streets with rattan and whips and ordered them not to go out, which led to some conflicts, but soon the streets were cleaned up.
Chang Lin looked at the empty streets, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Boil the grass and ashes!" ”
"Remember to wrap your mouth and nose in a cloth, but whenever you take off the mask, you have to wash your hands with soap, and go and copy the soap corners from all the soap shops to Lao Tzu."
"It's a spell ritual, you know! If you don't follow the method, it won't work! This plague god can't be sent away! Be sure to cover your nose and mouth and wash your hands! ”
