(In the early morning, I sneaked up and sent one, and I probed the wind~~)

The response of the man in white greatly surprised Guo Ye's expectations. In his imagination, when this group of people saw a group of people holding waist knives and surrounded them, the response they made was nothing more than two possibilities.

First, take out the blade and resist stubbornly.

Second, fear is so strong that you are ready to die.

In reality, however, they neither resisted nor frightened, but shouted for joy and even danced with their hands.

In the dense forest, dead bodies are hung all over the place, and a group of people in white are dancing inexplicably, this scene is simply how weird and weird!

One of the sergeants, with the back of his sword facing outward, slashed at a man and said, "Don't move! Stand up for me! ”

Unexpectedly, this person was even happier when he saw the knife, not only did he not dodge at all, but on the contrary, he stretched out his neck, and there was a sound in his mouth, as if he was afraid that the sergeant's knife could not be cut accurately, and he could not kill himself with a knife.

What the hell is going on?

Guo Ye didn't order to kill people in the first place, and the sergeant just wanted to scare him, but he didn't even dare to scare him now, and said, "Qin ...... Qin Guogong ...... What can I do? ”

Guo Ye also frowned, these white-clothed people, both men and women, have hair, obviously, they are all Khitans, and I don't know if they can understand Chinese.

He said loudly: "Wait for the truth, I am the Qin of the Tang Dynasty, Guo Ye Guo Ziyi, the Duke of Qin, and I was ordered by the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty to envoy the Khitan." Do any of you speak Chinese? I have something to ask. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the group fell silent.

A strong man came out of the crowd and said, "I know that you are Tang people, and you can tell from the way you dress." As for Chinese, we can all listen to and speak it. ”

"That's going to be easy. Let me ask you, what are you doing here carrying a dozen corpses? ”

"Isn't that obvious?" The strong man stretched out his hand and said, "Hang them all up." ’

"Hang up?" Guo Ye pointed to the trees around him and said, "So, these corpses were hung by you?" ”

"That's right."

"Then you killed all these people?"

"Kill? Fart! The strong man glared at the bull's eye and said, "These people are all my people, and it's too late for me to protect them?" How can they be killed? You little white face, you don't have a good eye, don't talk nonsense! ”

"You didn't kill it, who killed it? I think these corpses are all in the prime of life, and they can't all die of illness, right? ”

"Of course they didn't die of disease, they were killed by the devil!"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding Tang troops were all shocked!

Originally, they thought that today's incident was a bit evil, but now that they heard this strong man confirm it himself, they believed in the ghosts and gods more and more.

If you want to talk about fighting on the battlefield, everyone is fearless, even if there is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in front of them, they will deal with it calmly, and if they frown, they are not heroes.

But the problem is, the enemy is the devil! This thing can't be seen or touched, but it can kill people without being invisible!

Everyone's mastery is useless in front of ghosts. Only ghosts kill people, but they can't have the slightest counterattack against ghosts, so they can only wait for death.

This way of dying is too aggrieved, how can you not be afraid?

Swish!

The eyes of the sergeants were all on Monk Xuanzang!

Xuanzang chanted the Buddha's name and said, "Amitabha, this benefactor, you said that they were all killed by the devil, but what proof do you have?" ”

"Credentials? Isn't it easy to get a certificate? The big man pulled the sleeve of a corpse open and said, "Master, please look!" Is this the work of the devil? ”

Monk Xuanzang only glanced at it, and frightened the souls of the dead, and said loudly: "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way, everybody! Brother Guo, go, go! The farther away from them, the better. ”

With that, he turned and ran!

As soon as Guo Ye stretched out his hand, he grabbed Xuanzang's neck collar and said, "Great monk, what are you doing here?" Could it be that you, a monk with a high path, are you still afraid of the devil? ”

Xuanzang said: "I'm not afraid of the devil, but I'm really afraid of this thing!" Let's go quickly, it's too late, I'm afraid everyone's lives will be in danger! ”

"I really don't believe in evil anymore!"

Guo Ye came to the front of the corpse, looked carefully, and saw that the corpse had more than a dozen scars on its arms. Each scar is about the size of a coin, round in shape, with a depression in the middle, resembling a navel.

His heart moved, and he said, "This is a 'pox'? Or 'smallpox'? ”

The big man shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of pox or smallpox, but I only know that it's called ghost face sores." ”

"Ghost sores?"

"Yes, whoever is possessed by the devil will have this mark on his body. A person who suffers from a ghost face sore, will have a serious illness, and nine times out of ten will die. Even if you are lucky enough not to die, you will be covered with scars, and you will become a demon wandering the world, and you will be spurned by the world! ”

Monk Xuanzang pulled Guo Ye aside and whispered in his ear: "Don't listen to his nonsense, these barbarians probably named it so when they saw the face of the scar like a ghost." In fact, this is smallpox, and there is no cure! Leave him alone, let's go. ”

Guo Ye shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid it's too late to run now." ”

"Late?"

"Yes, at the beginning, there were quite a few brothers who had physical contact with these people, but they didn't know they were infected?"

"Whether the brothers are infected or not, let's talk about it later. The problem now is that there must be something wrong with these people, so let's get out of here first. ”

"That's not going to work! Smallpox is very contagious. Now that the epidemic has happened, it may not be just these few people in front of you. Shall we run away once we see each other? Can you just escape every time? ”

"Brother Guo, what do you mean ......?"

"So far, we can only find a way to let everyone gain the ability to fight smallpox."

Xuanzang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Guo, you are too whimsical. This is smallpox, one of the most terminal diseases in the world, even the miracle doctor Sun Simiao is helpless! If you want people to gain the ability to fight smallpox, you can't do it unless you let the Buddha manifest! ”

Guo Ye said: "Don't say it so absolutely, I really don't have the ability of the Buddha, but to deal with smallpox, I can catch it." ”

Xuanzang said: "Brother Guo...... No, Qin Guogong, is this true? ”

"What am I lying to you for? Great monk, think about it, the two of us have been friends for so many years, when did I say a big thing? ”

"Not really. But it's a little too bizarre. Since ancient times, I don't know how many people have died from this disease. If you can really find a way to restrain smallpox, such merit, I am afraid that even the Buddha will be ashamed of himself. ”

"I don't care if it's merit or not. As long as my brothers are safe and sound, I am satisfied. ”

"What kind of herbs do you want? Belch...... It's not that I want to covet your secret recipe, it's really a matter of the common people in the world, and Qin Guogong must not hide his secrets. ”

Guo Ye said: "It's nothing to tell you, this thing doesn't use any medicinal materials." ”

"What's that for?"

"Don't worry, great monk, you'll understand later. Now please step aside, and I will negotiate with this strong man alone. ”

The two of them muttered to each other, and the strong man was not happy when he saw that they were acting strangely.

He shouted, "What the hell are you going to do with us?" Whether it's killing or chopping, say it. Uncle, I'm really not afraid of this. ”

Guo Ye waved his hand and asked the sergeants to remove the encirclement. Then he took a closer look at the corpses hanging from the trees, and found that many of them had smallpox scars on their faces.

It seems that the strong men did not lie, and these people did not die by accident, but from smallpox.

Guo Ye bowed and said, "This strong man, I'm sorry, it's Guo who blames you, I will make amends to you!" ”

The strong man waved his hand boldly and said, "It's okay, I'm going to die, why do you care about this?" If you really don't want to go......"

"How?"

The strong man stretched out his neck and said, "Take a knife and slash here!" ”
