Chapter 13: The Plague (1)
It is desirable to depict a certain kind of captivity with another life of captivity, and to state the truth with a fictional story. βEpigraph
Mo Wuxin and the old man met in the lonely mountain, and there were no weeds on Le Yihan's grave, so it could be seen that there were often people worshipping! There were four skulls on either side of the grave, and there were originally five, but one of them was crushed and scattered.
When these five people died, one was worse than the other, and there was one thing in common. They were all abolished from their martial arts, and the word "sin" was engraved on their faces with their own weapons. The head was taken by the blind man to the lonely mountain and placed in front of Le Yihan's grave. Her tomb has its own name and belonging - the tomb of the Hanshan disciple Le Yihan.
This lettering, fluttering and unexpectedly formal and serious, is the first time Mo Wuxin has seen this kind of font since he was conscious.
The old man sat in a thatched hut next to the tomb and drank wine. He looked at the woman who was worshipping at the grave, and she came up to him.
The old man put down the tea, looked at the blue clouds outside, the yellow leaves, he turned his head,
"Your surname is Bai, your name is Du, and your words are too much."
"Wrong, my surname is Mo, my name is Wuxin, no words."
"You've been in the secret room, and you've been a member of the Anxiety Pavilion all your life. If you don't want to change the name to Baido, take a number, Sake Baido. β
This domineering person, if Zhou Kewen could learn a few points, she might not have gone to the imperial court.
"Good. But what is your identity? If the Anxiety Relief Pavilion accepts the disciples of the sake generation, it needs the consent of the hall owner. She reminded.
"I know, I've already told the pavilion owner, and the pavilion owner said that if he sees you, he will definitely kill you." When the old man spoke, he was calm and calm.
"Huh?" Has Zhou Kewen become so ruthless?
"But it doesn't matter, he probably won't. You are beautiful, he should take you as a concubine. β
The old man didn't take this sentence to heart at all, even if it had nothing to do with him, his life was also picked up by him, isn't it a pity?
"No, old man, old man. I'm going to take a trip to Juyi City. There's a secret there's I want to know. She didn't continue, this secret was related to the three major swordsmen in the world at the beginning.
"Are you going to the Imperial Nunnery?"
The old man completely regarded her as a substitute for Le Yihan.
"No, let's go now."
"Wait, there's someone you want to meet." The old man looked at her, and he said it sincerely, not like a fake.
"Really? Who is it? She looked left and right, except for the people who were sweeping the floor in front of the grave, there was only her, Nantong, the old man.
"Is that you? Blind? Who are you? Was he hired to sweep the floor? Baidu walked in front of the sweeping old man, saw that he didn't react, and waved his hand.
"When I was young, I was heinous and was suppressed at the foot of Wudang Mountain. Looking for the fragrance of acacia flowers, I met a few children in the Huanggu Nunnery. Accept one of the female dolls as an apprentice. They all call me an old ghost. β
Old ghost?
"Oh, it's you? That burned Xie Jiazhuang, drunk Wang Jingyi, and dreamed of killing Chu Tiankuo's Shen Dao. She had read the secret of the old ghost, but she believed in the old ghost, so how did the old ghost be seriously injured in Juyi City and suppressed at the foot of Wudang Mountain.
"You say my name is Shen Dao?"
"Forgot? Never mind. But didn't Wang Jingyi come to you? β
She had done Wang Jingyi a favor in her previous life and asked him to help her take care of someone. Wang Jingyi promised her, why, can she not fulfill her promise when she dies? Hypocrite.
"Who is Wang Jingyi?"
"Well, I can't tell you. But remember, old ghost, and I'll overturn the case for you. She took Nantong to say goodbye to the two people on the mountain.
On the way, she asked Nantong to go first and wait for her in the town below the mountain. And Baidu himself walked along the stream, and the scenery by the stream was very beautiful.
Before I knew it, I came to a large mountain villa and made a fence as a fence. Two people in the courtyard played against each other, and onlookers crowded the pavilion but did not make noise. Sometimes they sigh, sometimes they take a deep breath of cold air, as if they are already in the game. But the gentleman plays chess, watching but not speaking. When you walked in, you could see that it was an old man and a young man playing chess.
The old man is calm and relaxed, and the young man is full of confidence.
Persimmon trees are planted on the edge of the fence, and the big fiery red persimmons hang high on the branches, crushing the branches.
The child who was picking persimmons took a large persimmon from the woman's hand, and the child ran to Baidu and handed it to her. The appearance is crystal clear, fresh and bright, and the skin must be very thin, making people want to eat it at a glance.
She poured out the last two copper coins from her pocket, took the persimmon and placed the money in the child's hand.
"No, the girl is a foreigner, right? Taste our persimmons in the mountains, but they are sweet. "A woman saw the situation here and returned the money to Baidu.
Baidu took back the money, and was no longer polite, smelling the sweet persimmons, tearing open the thin skin like cicada wings, and taking a sip gently, the juice moistened the internal organs, very sweet and satisfied.
"Is the girl going to visit relatives?" She looked at Baidu and asked estimally.
"No, it's going to Juyi City."
"I advised the girl not to go, or to go back in a few months. There's a plague going on there, and hundreds of people are dead! The imperial court also specially sent people to investigate the matter. If you go, you should be able to see the king of Chu from afar, but the sacrifice is too great. If you're not careful, your life will be gone. β
"Thank you sister for reminding me, I will definitely pay more attention."
"You girl is so likeable, what kind of sister." The women laughed merrily.
She left a poem to this villa, an ancient poem of her own world. The deep forest hides the secluded village: a piece of white clouds and green mountains is there, and a piece of white clouds and green mountains are outside. There are white clouds inside and outside the green mountains, and the white clouds fly to the green mountains.
The people in the villa liked the ancient poems she sent.
The so-called prosperous three thousand is not as good as floating like water, it turns out to be such a kind of getaway.
After Baidu went down the mountain, he made peace with Nantong, and brought a few sweet persimmons. On the way, I met a lovely child, about seven or eight years old, and gave him one.
The two of them rushed to Juyi City at noon. It is one of the three prosperous cities in Daxia, and is named after Chang'an City and the City that never sleeps. It is famous for its righteousness, connecting the rivers and lakes and the court.
The prosperity of the past is gone, and the strange scenes and grotesque events of the past half a month have tormented this noisy room into desolation and loneliness.
Three days ago, the imperial court sent people to clean up the matter, and they didn't know how to deal with it. Seeing that the condition was getting worse and worse, Juyi City was closed. They thought they were stopping the spread of the disease, but they didn't know that it was just as dangerous outside the city.
"Hey, stop, where are the people? No entry or exit is allowed. Get back. The soldiers guarding the gate stopped them from moving on.
"The contemptible people heard that Juyi City was in trouble, and their parents let the contemptible people visit their relatives." When Baidu saw that they drove her away, he did not continue to walk.
"The contemptible man has learned some medical skills, and he may be able to save it." Baidu pleaded, not because she wanted to die, but because she had encountered something similar in her own world, maybe what she knew would help them?
"Girl, let's go back! The Imperial Physician was also locked inside, and if he went in, he couldn't come out. Once you realize that life is better than death. You're still young, go back! "These people guarding the city gate are not wrong, the order issued by the imperial court was personally approved by the king of Chu.
Baidu and Nantong turned around and prepared to leave.
Unfortunately, a large number of people in front of him came over and had a head-on fight with Sake Baidu. The man in the middle, Xuanyi Yinjiao, crystal white jade. The edges and corners are distinct, the phoenix eyes are half-open, and the silver crown is tied up, which makes people avoid it. The woman next to him looked much softer than him.
When Nan Tong saw it, he pulled her to kneel, "Sister Mo, I want to kneel down when I see the King of Chu." β
The man walked up to her and stopped, his arrogant head bowed slightly and glanced at her, and his tone was indifferent, "Mo Wuxin? β
"Back to the king of Chu, the surname of the contemptible person is 100 names." After the sake of the mother, the people in the Worry Relief Hall are even more protective, with this layer of sugar coating protection, why not use it? Baidu suddenly stopped thinking and calmed down.
"Hmph." King Chu sneered, and didn't take her words into account at all, "Press it down." β
They obeyed his orders and pressed her and Nantong to the gates of Juyi City. Only a bucket of water is placed on a platoon cart, and the person pushing the cart is dressed tightly. The king of Chu glanced at the row of cars 1, and a man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks immediately understood and handed the spoon to the king of Chu. This spoon looks strange, not a big problem, but a long handle.
The man put on his gloves, took the long spoon, and made a few strokes in the bucket, scooping a spoonful of water, about the same as a bowl of water. It was rude for the soldier to hold her arm between his spear and force her to kneel! The man pinched her jaw and poured water into her mouth. The water was smelly and disgusting, flowing through the mouth and making people spit out the acidic water. Her airways were opened, and she struggled desperately, but nothing changed, and the water poured into her stomach. Nantong tried to run to save her, but broke a leg.
King Chu, Xiao Junwu, now I really don't treat people as human beings.
After feeding her water, the man gave her a slap that broke her eardrum and spat blood out of her mouth.
Baidu stood up, and it was no longer possible to escape. She glanced at the bucket, which contained a dead rat. The water in the bucket was stained blood, and there were no wounds on the mouse's body, so it could only be the blood it spat out. What he gave her to drink, you can imagine. She was so sick that she put her hand down her throat and wanted to throw it up.
The man threw the spoon at the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man and commanded, "Spit it out and keep feeding." β
When the man saw that she had stopped moving, he said contentedly, "Send it to the city." Three days later, the city was burned. β
She entered the city, and at the last moment when the city gate was closed, she glanced at him, Xiao Junwu, what have you been through, and now you are like this, perverted. The figure of the man walking away did not stop, is he the person, the Xiao family who can read people's hearts?
After entering the city, I found that the city was dead and desolate. It was as if they had entered the grave of a million people, and the streets of this tomb were deserted. The only customers are corpses on the road, human or animal, and some rats walking on the street, some of whom are nearing the end of their lives. Unable to stand still, he turned around twice and his mouth was red and bloody, and he died in agony.
Baidu watched all this, and she was also in pain.
This disease must be the plague, definitely.
