Chapter 8: Plague

[The book continues from the above, the last book said that Mu Qingming found Zhu San who was farming, and wanted Zhu San to help him open the coffin for the previous dragon keeper. But Zhu San had already washed his hands, and it was difficult to change his evil and return to the right, and he pushed back Mu Qingming's request. So Mu Qing meditated on an excuse for not washing his feet, so that Zhu San willingly went to open his coffin. It is expected that in the immortal Dao cult, there must be a plague man who is proficient in plague art and good at refining plague poison, and this evil man is still in Kunming City, so he will use this as a clue to track down and find out. 】

The mountain breeze blew through the coffin through the woods, blowing the stench of the corpse in all directions; Mo Han, who was already disgusted, bent over, and finally couldn't help but vomit.

The corpses in the coffin were not the most terrifying, but the corpse liquid and corpse wax, the internal organs of the corpse rotting into a pile of rotting flesh, and the constant stench all made Mo Han, who saw these things for the first time, and his chest and stomach couldn't help but turn upside down.

Immediately afterwards, he glanced at Zhao Liang in the coffin, and couldn't help frowning. And Miaotian, who has always had a straight face, looked at the body of his fellow disciple brother, and after a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed in his eyes, he couldn't bear to take a second look. simply walked to the side of the mountain road not far away, stood on the side of the road with his hands around his chest, and gave Mu Qingming the wind.

Mu Qingming had long been accustomed to corpse wax corpse liquid and other things, his face was as calm as ever, his fingers continued to open the cracks in the corpse's abdomen, and he looked intently at the ribs under the corpse's flesh and skin.

The bones are purple and black, which is made by the plague.

The so-called plague poison is, to put it bluntly, just bacteria and viruses cultivated by plague. After the plague enters the body, its onset can be fast and slow, and the advantage of the plague is that it can be quietly implanted in others. If not detected in time, these plagues can torture the poisoned person to the point of incompleteness, and can also make the poisoned person die at any time.

After Mu Qingming stared at the purple-black ribs in the body for a long time, he gasped, and a layer of fine cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

It was not the plague that he was worried about, but that the dragon keeper died at the hands of the Immortal Dao, there was no doubt about it. However, there were traces of plague residue on the body, which just showed that the Immortal Dao had recruited the plague as a disciple. But the evil people of the plague lineage are all the sworn enemies of the dragon lockers without exception. It seems that this Immortal Dao Cult is trying to put the dragon lockers to death as soon as possible.

And the evil people like the plague people, who worship the plague god as their ancestors, are extremely good at making talismans and poisons, and can also use plague magic to create many kinds of strange plagues. What's even more infuriating is that they are obviously all descendants of Yan and Huang, but these plague people prefer to shoot at their compatriots.

test the flesh of your fellow citizens with their pestilence, or watch their fellow citizens die a painful death under the torment of the plague; These are all hobbies that plague people never tire of.

Since ancient times, dozens of large-scale plagues have occurred on the land of China, and ordinary people don't know that they are made by plague people, but the people who lock the dragon know that they are all behind it.

The plague people have been haunting them for thousands of years, and the dragon locking people have also suppressed them for thousands of years, and the hatred between the two sides is naturally getting deeper and deeper; But as far as Mu Qingming knew, in recent years, the plague people have almost been wiped out by the dragon lockers, and the few plague masters with names and surnames are also under the surveillance of the dragon lock people's families. He never expected that there would be a plague cultist in the Immortal Dao.

It can be seen that the power of this Immortal Dao cult is really not to be underestimated. The only thing to be thankful for is that he opened the coffin for an autopsy today, and he really found clues from it.

Mu Qing, who was thoughtful, meditated on this, slowly straightened up, took the medicinal wine that Zhu San had prepared and could dissolve the corpse poison, and rinsed his hands two or three times until the corpse liquid on his hands was cleaned, then he took out ten pieces of ocean and handed them to Zhu San, and said calmly: "Restore it." ”。

Zhu San wanted to shirk it, but Mu Qingming had already stuffed Dayang into his hand: "This is what you deserve, and we are friends, I will feel guilty if you don't accept it." ”。 After speaking, Mu Qingming smiled slightly.

Zhu San didn't want to say anything, so he had to put away the ocean and start to restore the coffin and tomb.

Restoration is more laborious than excavation, and it is a delicate job. It took Zhu Sanzu an hour to restore the grave bag to its original state, exactly the same as when it had not been dug up.

After everything was ready, Mu Qingming forcibly suppressed the consternation in his heart, and chatted with Zhu San for a few more words, before watching Zhu San, who said that the work in the field had not been done, went down the mountain.

From beginning to end, Zhu San didn't ask a word, including who was under the tomb? Why did Mu Qingming open the coffin for an autopsy? Zhu San didn't say a word.

He just went down the mountain, and Zhao Liang, who was already impatient and curious, and Mo Han, who had vomited once, immediately surrounded him, and asked in unison, "What do you see?" ”。

"He really didn't die of corpse poison, but died of a plague attack." Mu Qingming sighed lightly, and told Zhao Liang and Mo Han Dazhi what plague and plague people were.

and speculated that the Immortal Dao was likely to recruit plague people as disciples, and also told Zhao Liang and Mo Han; Zhao Liang and Mo Han, who were listening carefully, had surprises on their faces when they heard it.

Zhao Liang smacked his tongue for a long time, and before Mu Qing finished speaking, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he asked quickly: "Could it be that all the diseases in this world come from the hands of this evil man named the plague man?" ”。

It was obviously a soft spring breeze blowing around, but Zhao Liang couldn't help but tremble after saying this. The fear of death brought about by disease made him feel a little afraid of the so-called plague man.

Even Miaotian, who has always been silent as a dumb person, just clasped his hands in front of his chest and has been guarding the side of the mountain road, heard this, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

It is also the wonderful day of the old dragon lock man, and naturally he also knows the power of the plague man; He is not afraid to fight to the death with the plague, but he is secretly afraid that there is a plague hidden in the huge city under the mountain.

If there is no lockless dragon in the city, if the plague man unleashes the plague spell on a whim, the plague will be rampant in the whole city, and all life will be ruined.

"It can only be said that most of the diseases are caused by plagues, and some of them are strange diseases that we humans have inadvertently cultivated." Mu Qingming said slowly and meaningfully.

"Brother Qingming, what are you going to do next?" Mo Han put away his consternation, and after a little groaning, he looked at Mu Qingming, who had a faint confidence in his eyes, and slowly asked, "Is there a way to catch this plague man?" ”。

"Where there is a plague person casting a spell, there must be a plague, colorless and tasteless, even if I open my eyes, I can't see the plague." Mu Qingming nodded his head and said: "But in order to find the plague man, the dragon lock people invented a utensil called the plague needle, which can help me find the plague qi, and I can catch the plague man along the vine." ”。

"Then let's do it." Zhao Liang was overjoyed when he heard this, threw away the cigarette he was holding in his hand, which had just been lit and had not smoked two puffs, and stepped on the red paper cigarette roll with the cigarette butt when he got up. Get it and find this pestilence. ”。

"Don't worry, just leave the evil man to me to deal with, you Zhao Liang have to help me dig out the undercover agents who arranged Changshengdao in your police station." Mu Qingming's face was calm, as if the deep water of the ancient well was not alarmed, he pulled Zhao Liang over, and the other party's ear was so and so, and he whispered like this for a long time before he removed his mouth from the other party's ear.

Zhao Liang turned his head slowly, his eyes that were bigger than copper bells looked at Mu Qingming, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Can this work?" ”。

Mo Han, who was standing on the side, didn't hear a word clearly, and she didn't know what the two of them were talking about, her face was full of confusion.

"Yes, I had already thought about this plan before the sinking corpse of the lotus pond was discovered, and it was definitely not a whim of mine at this time, without thinking about nonsense." Mu Qing narrowed his eyes and smiled; At the same time, he raised his hand and patted Zhao Liang on the shoulder heavily, signaling him to just do it.

"And the more movement you make over there, the more the Immortal Dao will be a rat trap, and you won't notice me at all." Mu Qing suddenly put away his smile, stared at the grass and trees on the hillside in front of him, swayed by the spring breeze, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "It's time to fight back." ”......

The four parted ways at the foot of Yuantong Mountain; Zhao Liang naturally went to the provincial police department in the courtyard of Yuantong Temple, while Mo Han and Mu Qingming walked side by side, and Miao Tian followed closely behind, following them towards Shala Lane.

"Brother Qingming, what is the plague needle?" As he walked, Mo Han suddenly asked. Although Mu Qingming had briefly said what this thing was before, she was still curious.

"You should have heard of a saying, called Huai Liu's ghost willow to welcome the soul, and the mulberry tree can be filthy." Mu Qingming did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

Although what he said is not widely spread among the people, it is a common saying that everyone knows among demons and monsters. As mentioned earlier, the locust tree can preserve the soul and has a nourishing effect on the soul.

The willow wood can be made into a spirit flag, and the body of the tree also has the effect of attracting ghosts.

Finally, there are mulberry trees, which are shade-tolerant and moisture-loving and can store measured filth. Therefore, even the evil sect of the art of yin and ghosts likes to use willow wood to summon spirits, use locust trees to raise ghosts, and also like to use mulberry trees to absorb the filth of the Quartet and use it for its use.

"Yes." Mo Han tilted his head slightly.

"The plague man's plague technique, like our secret technique, needs to be activated with a finger trick and Qi. But the qi they harbor is not true qi, but filthy qi. A smile appeared on the corner of Mu Qingming's mouth, and then he said slowly: "So the plague and the plague are full of filth; In order to make up for the weakness of the plague that is difficult to detect visually, our ancestors made a compass from the heart of a mulberry tree to trace the traces of the plague. ”。

After Mo Han was silent and pondered for a moment, he raised his eyebrows when his eyes lit up, and said happily: "So it is made of mulberry trees and filthy qi to its liking, and it is something that can be made to find pestilence?" ”。

"Yes, within a radius of ten miles, as long as there are traces of plague, they will be detected by the plague needle." Mu Qingming nodded his head again, and at the same time quickened his pace.

The three of them walked for a while, and finally returned to the small courtyard of the Mu family.

As soon as he entered the house, Mu Qingming said a simple hello to Mu Luo, went straight to the well to get water, and after washing his hands again, he took Mo Han into the study and turned over the cabinets.

Mu Luo's was suspicious for a while, and was about to follow to ask his son, when he saw Miaotian follow into the door, and simply asked Miaotian: "Miaotian, has the young master opened the coffin?" What was found out of it? ”。

"The coffin is open." Miaotian, who has always been a man of few words, even the respectful lady has a straight face, and simply returned: "The body in the coffin bears traces of plague." The young master expected that there was a plague man in the Immortal Dao Cult, and he would use the plague needle to find the plague qi and find out this plague man. ”。

A person like Mu Luo, who has an unfathomable secret technique of locking dragons, also twitched a few times from the corner of his eye after hearing this.

Can Mu Qingming find the location of the plague? Can Zhao Liang find out the undercover agent of the Immortal Dao? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
