Chapter 259: Rooted in the City of Sin
Time flies, and Duoduo and his party have been taking root in Sin City for more than a month. One day, a woman arrived with a child, who was no more than five years old, with bruised lips, weak strength, a high fever, and convulsions in his limbs.
"Lord of the City, please save my child!" the woman shouted in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Ma'am, what are you doing here?" asked the guard at the door, puzzled.
"My lord, my child has been like this after eating well water early in the morning, and I would like to ask you to be accommodating and let the lord of the city save my child. The woman explained.
"Madam, you are not mistaken, are you? The lord of the city is not a doctor, how can he see a doctor? Your child is sick, you should go to the doctor in the city. The guard suggested.
"This lord, I have already gone to find Lang Zhong in the city, but Lang Zhong does not know where to go, so I have to come to the city lord to find a way. The woman said helplessly.
She is not a wealthy family, she is alone with a child, and she can only find an ordinary Langzhong for medical treatment, but when she went to look for Langzhong, she found that the ordinary Langzhong in the city was gone, which made her not know what to do.
"Madam, wait a minute, I'll inform the city lord for you. The guard said calmly, then turned to leave.
Soon, Duoduo and his party followed the guards to the gate of the mansion.
"Lord Castle Lord, save my son! The woman bowed down and said.
Duoduo hurriedly helped the woman up, and said calmly: "Eldest sister, please get up quickly, don't worry about it first, bring the child in with me!"
The woman nodded, then followed behind Duoduo with the child in her arms, and soon came to the top of the office hall.
Duoduo asked the guard to bring a rectangular table, and then motioned for the woman to place the child on the table. Next, Duoduo began to check the child's pulse, diagnose it, and after ten minutes, said:
"Eldest sister, your child should be poisoned, if I guess correctly, it should be the plague, commonly known as the plague. Fortunately, I gave the child a pair of medicine first, and after the decoction came to him, he should be able to recover quickly. ”
"Lord of the City, you know how to heal?" asked the woman, who was a little skeptical.
"Hehe, don't hide it from you, eldest sister, I did learn a little medical skills before. Duoduo said modestly. He has not only learned a little, but there are probably few people in this world who can surpass his medical skills.
"Great, thank you, Lord Castle!" the woman was relieved to hear that she knew a little more about medicine.
Then Duoduo immediately took out the antidote herbs of the storage ring and asked the attendants to decoction them, but before the medicine was ready, there were people calling for help from outside the door.
Duoduo guessed that things might not be so simple, so he asked the visitor why he got the plague, and the situation described by the visitor was basically the same as the previous woman's description, drinking water from the well in the morning, and then his lips were blue and his fever did not go away.
"Come on!" Duoduo immediately ordered: "Immediately notify the whole city that all the people of the city are no longer allowed to drink the well water in the city, in order to prevent the epidemic from continuing to expand." ”
"Yes, my lord!" the captain of the guard commanded, and then he was asked to pick up a gong and announce that the people of the city were not to drink the water from the well.
Despite this, thousands of people came to seek medical treatment.
The antidote materials on Duoduo's body were only enough to heal hundreds of people, so he immediately asked people to go to other cities to purchase medicinal herbs.
In order to prevent the deterioration of the condition of the sick city residents, Duoduo had to take out a high-level detoxification pill to detoxify the city people, so that the city people were grateful.
Secretly, wicked people who poured poison into the water of the well were gathered.
"Several, Na Xi Duoduo is not only strong, but also knows medical skills, how should you deal with it next?" The speaker's name is the Five Poison Dao people.
This person likes to use poisons, plants, animals, ores, etc., he has studied. It's just that before he disdained to use poison on mortals, in his opinion, this was a sign of price dropping.
This time, he risked the risk of poisoning the people in the city, and he was also bewitched, firstly, to test whether Xiduoduo was capable of dealing with these problems, and secondly, he could also reap some benefits.
As a poison master, the more chaotic the Five Poison Dao people's life is, the better it is, and Sin City is his paradise.
"Poison boss, isn't your poison strong enough, why does Na Xi Duoduo casually decoct a pair of medicines, and the poisoned mortal will be safe?" The speaker's name is Yidao Daoren, he created a knife gate, but there are not many disciples under the sect, so they are not doing very well.
"Hmph, you know the! My poison is strong enough for mortals, but you don't understand how powerful it is. He claims to know a little about medical skills, and in my opinion, he is definitely a master at the grandmaster level. This man is so talented, I am afraid it will not be easy for us to overthrow him. "The Five Poison Dao people naturally won't admit that their epidemic poison is not good, otherwise they are slapping themselves in the face.
"Poison Boss, since you don't want to do anything to mortals, then we will deal with those cultivators in the city, so it is not a foul. The One Knife Daoist suggested.
As a standard wicked person, a Daoist of the One Sword will not care about the life or death of other cultivators, after all, cultivators all practice against the sky, and life and death are in an instant.
It's just that the Five Poison Dao people refused: "One knife, are you making mud for my poison? I spent a lot of money to obtain the materials, and every time I use them, how much does it cost?"
"Brother Poison, don't be stingy, let's say, how much does it cost to poison a Yuan Infant cultivator?"
"Hehe, it's still a knife brother! It's not difficult to poison a master of the Yuan Infant Stage, but the difficult thing is to make these Yuan Infant Stage monks half dead, so as to achieve the expected effect, I estimate that each poison is almost a thousand medium-grade spirit stones. The Five Poison Dao Man laughed. In his opinion, the dead Yuan Infant Monk has no use value, and it is only half-dead that it is of great use.
At the same time, the Five Poison Dao people also have some expectations, if Xi Duoduo can solve the second-order high-grade poison pill, in this way, he will have to consider cooperating with the other party, after all, the alchemist and the poison refiner are both to live a better life and make a lot of money together, if they turn their faces, the final result will be more or less defeat.
"Brother Poison, you are really black enough, you don't lose at all, okay, I want a thousand poison pills. The Daoist said with a little pain.
The Five Poison Dao people took out the poison pill and gestured: "One of these poison pills is enough to kill the Yuan Infant Cultivator, but it is better to save a little bit of the sword brother, maybe it can achieve unexpected results." ”
The Daoist nodded, and then left with his disciples.
At this time, Xi Duoduo was still busy treating the citizens of the epidemic in the city, and as time passed or so, the citizens of the city who had been infected with the epidemic virus slowly recovered.
The first child who was poisoned by the epidemic came to Duoduo with his mother, and then knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord of the City, you are a living bodhisattva and a divine doctor. ”
The child and the woman prostrate one after another to express their gratitude.
Duoduo picked up the mother and son, and said with a smile: "This eldest sister, you can come to me if you have any difficulties in the future, as long as I can help you, you can't give up." ”
"Thank you, sir, this is our consultation fee, please accept it!" the woman took out more than a dozen copper plates and handed them to Duoduo.
Duoduo refused: "Eldest sister, no need, someone poisoned this time, as long as we catch the evil person who poisoned him, we will count all the expenses on their heads, so you can take the money back, buy some delicious food, and let the child make up for his body." ”
"How can this be done, if you can't catch those wicked people, won't you suffer a loss, city lord?" said the woman.
"Hehe, what the eldest sister said is enough to show that you are a good person. For good people like you, we, as cultivators, are obliged to protect them. If we can't catch the wicked, it's because we are not capable, and we don't deserve to stay in this city lord's mansion, so eldest sister, you don't have to worry about our medical fees, I said that if we can catch the wicked, we will definitely be able to catch them, it's just a matter of time. Duoduo smiled.
"Thank you, sir, then we're leaving!" Madame bent down to thank her, and Xie Bi took the child away.
Duoduo watched the child recover to health, not to mention how happy he was, after so long, he thought to himself that he could finally do what he could for mortals.
At this moment, a captain of the guard in black armor walked into the main hall.
"Lord Castle, we have identified several targets, and we ask for permission to arrest these suspects. The captain of the guard pleaded.
"Yes, but be careful not to hurt the innocent. Duoduo reminded.
The captain of the guard answered, and then took the order.
Just when the One Knife Dao man and his disciples were looking for an opportunity to continue to commit crimes, suddenly a group of guards appeared, and then surrounded the people of the One Sword Sect.
"How many, what do you mean?" asked the Blade Daoist knowingly.
"We've been watching you for a few days, and you put the poison in the city's well, right?" The captain of the guard asked rhetorically.
"Haha, do you have any evidence, otherwise I will accuse you of abusing your power and framing good people to the City Lord's Mansion. The Daoist laughed. He has seen a lot of things over the years, and he has not experienced any strong winds and waves, so naturally he will not be intimidated by this group of guards who have not been established for a long time.
"Take them down!" ordered the captain of the guard, not wanting to get into a tongue with these wicked men.
"Yes, Captain!" all the guards commanded.
Then the ten guards made a move against the disciples of the One Sword Daoist, and the cultivation of the guards was in the out-of-body period, which was comparable to the cultivation of the disciples under the One Sword Sect, but there were only five disciples under the One Sword Sect, so after a long time, the disciples under the One Sword Sect began to be defeated.
Seeing this, the Daoist scolded: "Stop! If you don't stop, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
This Daoist cultivator's cultivation is not in the early stage of the merger, if he wants to make a move, the ordinary guards of the City Lord's Mansion are naturally invincible, but the cultivation of the captain of the guard is in the middle stage of the merger, so in this way, it is clear at a glance which is better and which is weaker.
The guards didn't stop, and the Blade Daoist was furious, summoned his weapon, and slashed at the captain of the guard.
The captain of the guard was not afraid of a sword man, and raised his weapon to fight against him. Both of them are masters, you come and go, swords and swords, dust.
Not far away, there were more and more cultivators watching, and the Five Poison Daoists were one of these onlookers. At this time, he chuckled in his heart, and suddenly felt bad.
"Could it be that our identities have been revealed?" the Five Poison Daoists asked themselves in their hearts.
It's just that he couldn't think of where the mistake was, and after watching the battle between the captain of the guard and the One Sword Daoist for a while, he immediately chose to flee. This kind of talent with a bad premonition in advance makes the Five Poison Dao people not know how many life and death catastrophes they have escaped, and it is unknown whether he can escape this time.
The cultivation of the One Sword Daoist is not bad, and the captain of the guard can't even take him down for a while.
At this moment, the disciples of the One Sword Gate were taken down one by one, and the spiritual power was sealed, and then the guards freed their hands.
"Set up, don't let this bastard escape!" the captain of the guard commanded loudly. At this time, he found that the attack of the knife was weakened, and guessed that the other party wanted to escape.
Sure enough, the One Knife Daoist hit the captain of the guard back with a heavy blow, and then planned to leave. At this moment, the guards had already set up their formation, and before the Daoist could escape, a huge net fell directly from the sky.
The silk threads of this giant net are red and extremely tough, and after being shrouded, the Daoist tried his best to resist, but he still couldn't break free from the shackles of the giant net.
The guards input spiritual power into the giant net, and then the giant net began to retract, and the people of the One Knife Dao were unwilling, and they planned to self-detonate the spirit body and escape, but just when he was about to explode the spirit body, the captain of the guard made a move, he first interrupted the self-explosion of the One Dao Dao person, and then began to infuse spiritual power into the giant net. I saw that the huge net contracted rapidly, and soon trapped the Daoist in the net and couldn't move.
"Take it away!" ordered the captain of the guard.
Then the guards escorted a knife gate up and down to the city lord's mansion, and the onlookers sighed, and then gave way to the guards to leave.
At this point, it was the first time that the onlookers had seen the guards of the City Lord's Mansion so strong. Not only are the individual soldiers good, but their law enforcement tools are also unheard of. In this way, it deters the wicked who still want to destroy the city of sin.
