Chapter Seventy-Two: The Plague

"Tourmaline, you and Bai Yi Immortal Venerable are really ...... Uh, double cultivation?" Although the words of the tourmaline just now seemed to mean to admit it, Tao Yao still wanted to confirm it.

"Can this kind of thing still be laughed at?" Tourmaline looked serious.

"That's the same!" Tao Yao thought that even if this kind of thing was not so unspeakable, it would be a big deal if it was linked to the Immortal Venerable. Tao Yao pinched his fingers and calculated, Boyan Immortal Venerable They are already thousands of years old, and this Bai Yi Immortal Venerable is not much different if he thinks about it. "Tourmaline, how old are you?"

"I, I think about it, two thousand five hundred years old!"

"Huh?" Tao Yao looked incredulous. She remembered that Senior Sister Yueyao was already more than a thousand years old. Therefore, tourmaline was lost to Senior Sister Yueyao for more than 1,000 years with more than 2,000 years of cultivation.

"Do you think my cultivation really doesn't match my age?" Tourmaline still had a smile on her face when she said this, and she didn't mind at all.

"Hehe~" Tao Yao also knew that she was too shocked just now, if she didn't say it at the moment, she wouldn't believe it herself, so she could only smirk.

"It's nothing. My mother said that the higher the cultivation, the greater the responsibility. So she never asked for anything from me. She said that with less responsibility, you can live more freely. She wanted me to live without burden. So when I was very young, she sent me to Yingzhou. ”

"Your mother must love you very much!" Tao Yao felt that the one who could put the happiness of her children first must be a good mother.

"Maybe!" said Tourmaline, with a hint of uncertainty in her eyes. Bai Yi asked her at that time, why didn't she ask me to practice in Daiyu with her, or take care of her every day, she only said that I would remind her of the sad past, it was better not to be in front of her, she would go to see me. But I never saw her a few times. ”

"Wait a minute!" is a very informative sentence. "Daiyu, tourmaline, tourmaline, daiyu, your mother can't be Bitong Immortal, right?" Tao Yao said as she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, her eyes wide open.

"Hmm!" tourmaline Yu Tao Yao was not surprised at all to think of this.

"My god!" said Tao Yao jumped up from the stool, pacing back and forth in front of her. I couldn't help muttering in my heart, Bitong Immortal Venerable didn't have this in the version of the story he told me before. Then where did this tourmaline come from?" "Did Bai Yi Xianzun tell you about your father?" Tao Yao thought that since Bai Yi Xianzun was an insider, she should always know who her father was?

"Bai Yi has always been responsive to my requests, but this, every time I ask, I refuse to answer. ”

Tao Yao didn't know the inside story before, but now looking at the tourmaline's face, there is indeed the charm of Bitong Immortal Zun between the eyebrows, but the face is more like red. She didn't say this after thinking about it, she thought that since Bitong Immortal Venerable and Bai Yi Immortal Venerable were hiding it from her, there must be a reason, and it was better not to expose it. After all, those two people wouldn't hurt her.

"What are you two talking about?" Bai Yi Xianzun took the lead in entering the main hall and saw that the two of them were chatting energetically.

"Nothing, just talk casually!"

Bai Yi just asked casually, seeing that Tourmaline refused to say, he only regarded it as his daughter's family's concern, and did not ask.

A few people sat on both sides casually, asking Tao Yao about their interesting stories along the way. After chatting for a long time, a disciple from Fanghu Mountain hurriedly came in to report. Behind that disciple, there was another person, a little blind, Tao Yao didn't remember that there was such a person in Fanghu Mountain.

"I've seen Bai Yi Immortal Venerable, several immortal elders. The disciples of the Dai Yushan faction came forward and said that they had something important to tell Boyan Immortal Venerable. ”

The man behind him also saluted, "I've seen Bai Yi Immortal Venerable, several immortal elders." Then he handed over the waist card representing the disciples of Daiyu Mountain to Qingfeng.

Qingfeng looked at the waist card, it was indeed a unique waist card for Dai Yu's disciples. "This little junior sister, my family's Immortal Venerable is in retreat now, I'm afraid I won't be able to come out to see you. ”

"How is this good? Now that there is a plague near Hojing, our disciples of Daiyu have gone down the mountain to heal the people. However, my master was afraid that there would be demon beasts at this time of danger, so he sent me and several other senior sisters to the Four Great Immortal Mountains for help. ”

"How could there be a sudden plague??" Bai Yi Immortal Venerable couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

That female disciple also knew Bai Yi Xianzun, although she didn't know why he was in Fanghu Mountain. still replied honestly, "We don't know about this at the moment, and several senior sisters have already gone down the mountain to help." ”

"In that case, then I will go back to Yingzhou first and arrange for my disciples to go down the mountain to help as soon as possible. Bai Yi knew that this matter was urgent, although he had arranged for his disciples to deal with the affairs on the mountain before, but for such a major matter, he still had to go back to rest assured.

"Breeze, you ......"

"Immortal Venerable, don't worry, although my master is in retreat, we will also arrange for someone to go down the mountain to help as soon as possible. ”

Bai Yi saw that Qingfeng looked like he had already made up his mind, so he was no longer worried. "Tourmaline, you go back to Yingzhou with me!"

Tourmaline has been arranged properly since she arrived in Yingzhou, even Bai Yi is accompanied by Bai Yi every time she goes down the mountain, although she is happy, she also longs for a certain amount of freedom, and does not have to be encircled under his wing every moment. Although her cultivation is not high, she feels that she still has the minimum ability to protect herself.

"I want to go with them! Anyway, we will arrange people in Yingzhou, and I will go back with them when the time comes. ”

Bai Yi didn't seem to expect tourmaline to say this.

"Obedient, this trip is dangerous, and your cultivation is not enough. Bai Yi was tempting, wanting Tourmaline to give up this idea, after all, this trip would not only face the attack of demon beasts, but also possibly be infected with the plague, and he really didn't want her to take this risk in his heart.

"But I want to go!"

Tourmaline looked at Bai Yi, and Bai Yi looked at tourmaline.

Tao Yao and the others stood beside them, not daring to interject.

In the end, Bai Yi sighed, "You must protect yourself, I will arrange the things on the mountain and will go over there to pick you up." ”

"Got it!" Tourmaline replied sweetly. The tone is full of joy after the demand is met.

Tao Yao thought, maybe this is the most beautiful appearance of love, she just had to say that she thought, no matter how difficult it was, he was reluctant to refuse. She was envious in her heart, because what Tourmaline had was exactly what she was struggling to pursue, and she didn't know if she could have it again in this life.

After Bai Yi left, Qingfeng and the others finally decided after discussion that Yue Yao and Haoyue would stay in Fanghu Mountain, after all, Bo Yan didn't know when to leave the customs, and someone on the mountain must take care of them. Yueyao and Haoyue have been in Fanghu Mountain for a long time, and they are familiar with many things, and he is more at ease when the two of them stay here. Qingfeng, Moli, Ximei and Taoyao plus Tourmaline went down the mountain with Dai Yu's disciples, and then went to find Dai Yu's people to meet.

Because of the urgency of the situation, they didn't dare to slack off along the way, just thinking about arriving as soon as possible and helping as soon as possible.

The plague was first discovered in a small town near Hokyo called Heian Town. At the earliest, someone had a fever and abdominal pain and vomiting, and Lang Zhong who saw the doctor thought it was caused by food accumulation at first, but it was not until the patient's family began to have this symptom that Lang Zhong felt that something was wrong. It's just that he changed a lot of prescriptions later, but it still didn't work, even he himself fell ill, and even his family slowly developed this symptom.

Later, the situation became more and more serious, and more and more people fell ill, and many doctors were helpless, so they sent representatives to Daiyu Mountain for help.

When Tao Yao and the others arrived, there were no more healthy people in Ping'an Town, and even the surrounding villages began to show this symptom.

In order to facilitate their care, Dai Yu's disciples placed them in a large mansion. The disease is divided into wards according to severity.

Tao Yao: They followed Dai Yu's disciples to Yurong Yuqin's place. Walk through a long and narrow road, lined with patients housed. Some of them are clutching their stomachs and wailing in pain, some are dizzy, their eyes are full of fear for the future, they don't know if they can withstand this plague, they don't know if they will be able to open their eyes and see the world tomorrow.

There was a mother and son huddled in the corner, and the mother seemed to be in better condition, although she could see some sickness, but she was still conscious. The child in her arms was abnormally red, and her eyes were closed, if it weren't for the slightly heaving chest, Tao Yao would have thought that the child was dead. The mother, when she saw them passing, had a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and then it went dark a moment later. I thought it was hoping to be disappointed, and so on, too many times. She muttered songs she didn't understand, presumably to comfort the child in her arms.

Tao Yao and the others entered the house, and there were two rows of medicine stoves neatly placed in the house, and many people were busy boiling medicine. There was a strong smell of medicine in the room, and at first it was difficult to breathe, and after a while, a few people got used to the air and smell in the house. Although the room was spacious, because there were many medicine stoves and many people, they looked a little crowded after entering, and they could only stand at the position where they had just entered, and did not dare to move forward.

Yurong and Yuqin were busy directing people to boil medicine over there.

"You're here!" Yuqin was the first to see them. Originally, Yuqin really wanted to see Tao Yao, but in this case, there was no joy at all.

At this time, Yurong also saw a few people, and said a few words to a few little sisters around him, and walked over with Yuqin.

"Let's go to the room, there's a place to sit there. Yurong took a few people to a room next to it. It was filled with all kinds of herbs, and I think they came here to discuss and study prescriptions.

After a few people sat down, Yurong explained the situation here to a few people.

"Then hasn't there been a prescription here?" Qingfeng asked the question, which was also what these people were most concerned about at the moment.

Yurong shook his head, "We have changed several prescriptions here, but they have no effect, and now the condition of the patients is getting worse and worse, and many of them are almost unable to survive." It's not just us, but even Yuqiao, Yuying, and Yuyan are like this. "Dai Yu's disciples are divided into four waves, except for the other three points here, but here are the most sick, so there are two of them, and the rest of the places are one big disciple with many small disciples.

"Have you found out what the cause is?" asked Tao Yao.

"The most important thing is that we can't find the cause, so it's very difficult to come up with a prescription for the situation. Yuqin explained to her.
