"Nephew He Xian, it's up to you to introduce me!" Xiang Ru said to the mustache again.

The mustache agreed, and walked straight to the front of the map to begin the explanation. This surprised me a little, he was not only able to attend such a high-level meeting, but also took on the task of explaining, and it seems that he was quite valued by the hosta gate and the Maoshan Taoist Association at the same time!

"The current outbreak in Yazhou is caused by an unknown virus that has never been detected before. THE SOURCE AND PATHOLOGY OF THE VIRUS HAVE NOT YET BEEN STUDIED, SO THERE IS NO OFFICIAL NAME, SO WE WILL CALL IT AN UNKNOWN VIRUS FOR THE TIME BEING. ”

"THE SOURCE OF THE VIRUS IS UNKNOWN, SO ZHENG PROVINCE INITIALLY SUSPECTED THAT IT CAME FROM PEOPLE WHO HAD EATEN WILD MEAT. But only we understand that this matter is definitely not so simple, it is just not easy to say it publicly. The biggest difficulty in this epidemic prevention and control is that the outbreak point will change from time to time, which can be said to be both regular and confusing. ”

The mustache pointed to the right half of the map with a whip and said: "The regular place is that this epidemic is still only concentrated in Haitang District in the east of Yazhou City, and there are a total of 26 outbreak points, all of which are in the suburbs and the urban-rural junction. There are three townships involved: Benhai Township, Sanhe Township and Longshan Township. ”

"IT'S CONFUSING BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW STRICT THE PREVENTION AND CONTROL MEASURES AND QUARANTINE MEASURES TAKEN BY ZHENG PROVINCE IN THE ORIGINAL OUTBREAK SITE, A NEW LOCATION WILL ALWAYS POP UP EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. So it's likely that there is not just one source of infection, or it can be moved! ”

The mustache pointed to the pushpins and said, "Master Feng, please see, each of the twenty-six pushpins on this represents a flashpoint of the epidemic, and the different colors represent the severity of the epidemic." Among them, yellow means that the number of infected people is less than 10, and there are no deaths; Red means that the number of infected people is less than 10 to 100, and there are no deaths; Black means there have been deaths! ”

When the mustache was introduced, the master interjected and asked, "Where is the most one-time case?" How many are there? ”

"It is in Maoya Village, Sanhe Town, where there are eighty-two cases of infection and three deaths!" The mustache pointed to one of the black pins and added, "This is also where the outbreak first broke out." AT THAT TIME, ALL OF US, INCLUDING THE EPIDEMIC PREVENTION DEPARTMENT OF ZHENG PREFECTURE, HAD NOT YET HAD TIME TO RESPOND, SO THE MEASURES TAKEN WERE SLOW, AND THE EPIDEMIC SPREAD RAPIDLY. ”

"What's going on there now?"

"It's basically under control, and no new cases have been detected in the last week."

"So, this virus can still be cured?"

"Hmm." The mustache nodded, and explained in detail: "Although this virus has a fast onset and spreads quickly, as long as it is detected and isolated in time, it is still very sure to be cured with the current level of medical care." In addition, most of the 10 deaths so far are elderly, and it is difficult to rescue them because of complications. ”

"But we still can't be careless!" At this time, Xiang Ru also interjected. It seems that he said this not only to us, but also to the other Taoist cultivators here.

"AT THIS STAGE, IT IS BECAUSE WE INTERVENED IN ADVANCE AND ESTABLISHED A SECRET COMMUNICATION CHANNEL WITH THE ZHENG GOVERNMENT, SO WE CAN BARELY CONTROL THE SITUATION EVERY TIME IT BREAKS OUT. THE ZHENG GOVERNMENT ALSO DOES NOT WANT TO CAUSE PANIC AMONG THE PEOPLE, BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID THAT IF IT IS NOT CONTROLLED IN TIME AND CAUSES A LARGE-SCALE OUTBREAK, THE MEDICAL SYSTEM OF YAZHOU CITY WILL BECOME VERY TENSE OR EVEN COLLAPSE, AND THEN IT WILL BE IN TROUBLE! ”

"What precautions are you taking at the moment?" Master asked.

Xiang Ru personally replied: "We don't have a good way now. First, the ZHENG government sent people to strictly guard against it, and once a new epidemic is discovered, it will adopt isolation and disinfection methods to prevent the spread of the epidemic. The second is that our Dao cultivators are investigating everywhere in the shadows, tracking the traces of those suspicious ghost cultivators, and striving to stop their conspiracy plans in advance! ”

"How do I track it?" Master asked again.

"In the early stage, we relied on ourselves to send disciples around to find clues in towns and mountain villages, or catch some little ghosts to interrogate and ask questions. But the effect is limited. Later, we invited several local Yin cultivators in Yazhou City to help, and the effect was good at first, but it was just ......"

"It's just that they leaked the secret?"

The master spoke without scruples, and did not mean to cover up and explain for the local Yin cultivation sect at all, and directly said what was inconvenient for Xiang Confucian.

Xiang Ru didn't respond, but nodded anyway.

"Actually, this is just a speculation." Instead, the mustache helped to clarify it, so as not to make the atmosphere even more awkward.

He pointed out several locations on the map in succession and compared, "Master Feng, please see, in the last few investigations, the information provided to us by the Yin Cultivation Department is far from the actual location of the outbreak. It may be a miscalculation, and it cannot be ruled out that it was the cause of the leak. ”

"It's a leak!" Once again, Master said categorically, "Or maybe they were simply taken advantage of and deliberately tried to mislead you!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's Taoist cultivators, including me, were slightly taken aback, and I couldn't figure out why Master's attitude was so sure?

"If it's just a miscalculation, it won't be so bad every time!" Master's face remained as usual, and he continued to analyze: "Even if you buy a lottery ticket, you will always win a few of the seven numbers you buy." There's no reason to be wrong every time, and it's not at all, it's just a deliberate reversal of the meaning! ”

Everyone began to nod their heads, and Master's conclusion was that the words were not rough.

"You can point me to the last few outbreaks." Master motioned for the mustache to continue the explanation.

The mustache pointed out the points on the map, and the distance between them was still relatively far away.

"Did the previous Yin Cultivation Sect provide you with any valuable information, such as the location of the Yin Vein exit?" Master continued to ask questions.

"Yes!" The mustache points out a few more points on the map, but they are not next to any of the flashpoints.

When the master saw this, he shook his head and said, "Then they must have missed something, or they just don't even know themselves!" ”

"What do you mean, Master Feng?"

"Get out of the way for me to see."

Master suddenly got up and walked directly to the map to take a closer look. I was also curious, so I followed suit.

The map is very detailed, the administrative areas, towns and villages, mountains and rivers are clearly marked, and it was published this year. Master looked at several key areas for a long time, as if thinking about something, and finally nodded.

I casually asked him, "Master, have you found out?" ”

Master shook his head again: "It's just a guess for the time being, there is no evidence, and we still have to wait for the flashpoint to appear again to be confirmed." ”

"Master Feng, do you have any clues about the source of this virus?" It was Gong Hetai who asked out loud, "Could it be that the ghost cultivator found it from some secret place in the underworld, can it be destroyed directly from the source?" ”

"It's not that easy!" Master categorically denied this conjecture, "According to my guess, the source of the virus is not somewhere, but probably a ghost!" ”

"A ghost?"

The Dao cultivators present were in a commotion again. They may have always thought that the ghost cultivator brought the unknown virus from the underworld to the yang world to spread, but they never thought that the virus was a ghost "itself"!

"What the hell?"

"Plague Ghost!"

Master's face was serious, and he said, "The plague ghost can't be a new ghost that has only recently been generated, but a sinister ghost cultivator left over from ancient times!" It transmits some viruses from ancient times, and it is particularly tricky. As the old saying goes: the plague is the work of ghosts and gods. The fury is popular, and every family has the pain of zombies! ”

"The ancients believed that the reason why infectious diseases were prevalent was because of the evil spirits that were doing evil everywhere, so it was difficult to prevent them. It's just that as far as I know, because the plague ghosts hurt the heavens and peace too much, the underworld concentrated on disposing of a batch hundreds of years ago, either by being caught in hell and punished, or sealed on the spot. It stands to reason that there shouldn't have been any powerful plague ghosts for a long time! ”

After listening to Master's explanation, those Taoist cultivators nodded frequently while looking at each other. Such speculation may explain many things.

"What about the strength of the plague ghost? Is it good to deal with? Gong Hetai asked.

Master replied in a deep voice, "I haven't touched it yet, so I can't determine its level. But the plague ghost is at least at the level of a powerful ghost or above, and it is even likely to be a ghost king! ”

"Ghost King?" Gong Hetai was surprised, "If it's the legendary ghost king, wouldn't it be very dangerous for us to catch it rashly?" ”

"There's not much to worry about. The difficulty of the plague ghost is that it can spread the plague and cause harm to the world, but its own attack power is very average. And judging from its current whereabouts in hiding, it is unlikely to be a ghost king, it should be a powerful ghost! ”

"That's good! Uh, how can we stop it from continuing to harm the yang world? ”

"There's no such thing as a good way." The master made a gesture of chopping down and said, "The only way to do this is to find it and kill it!" ”

Fighting ghosts is the strong point of Taoist cultivation. Their Taoism is based on absorbing yang energy, which is masculine and domineering. In addition, Dao cultivation and ghost cultivation are incompatible, and they are not caught in the middle like Yin Xiu, and they are mercilessly killed when they meet. With that, the only problem left now is how to find the plague ghost!

Master has just appeared today, and although he hasn't had a chance to show his hand, he has already shocked the audience with experience and analysis, saving a lot of face for our Yin cultivators, and also making the attitude of those Taoist cultivators can't help but be respectful.

Xiang Ru stood up again, and said, "In this way, we have to rely on the skills of Master Feng and this master disciple in the future!" ”
