Chapter 55: The Plague Spreads (2)

Zhan Hongling thought about it for a moment in his heart, and decided to explain the ins and outs of this matter to Sheng Mingyu clearly.

Otherwise, if Sheng Mingyu asked, she wouldn't reply, just for fear of arousing Sheng Mingyu's suspicions.

"Miss Mingyu, it was Concubine Sheng Guifei who secretly made a will, so that the four palace maids who were waiting by her side would go to Liuzhou, Jiangzhou, with the Marquis of Yongding, to look for the grass of life and death."

"Sheng Guifei heard that this grass of life and death can resurrect the dead, and she has been studying these things these days, but Marquis Yongding has not found the legendary grass of life and death, so she was bitten by the plague in Jiangzhou."

Zhan Hongling said, raising his head from time to time to look at Sheng Mingyu in front of him.

Seeing that there was no inappropriate reaction on Sheng Mingyu's face, Zhan Hongling said again.

"Miss Sheng, a few days ago, the big wooden box that the four palace maids brought into the capital contained the plague patients brought from Jiangzhou."

"They are always day and night, and when the night comes, they start to bite at the smell of blood."

"What is Sheng Guifei trying to do here? She brought the plague patients from Jiangzhou and Liuzhou into Beijing, could it be that she wanted to make this terrible plague epidemic in Beijing? ”

Sheng Mingyu gritted his teeth and said.

Sheng Ruhua did this, it was really incredible.

The grass of life and death that Zhan Hongling said in his mouth that can resurrect the dead, Sheng Mingyu has also seen it in the record of "Taishang Xuanmiao Sutra".

The scriptures say that this herb is born in an extremely cold place, and it grows by absorbing the cold air of the extremely cold place, and it often grows one by one.

Because after taking a large amount, it will cause people to hallucinate, and in serious cases, it will make people crazy and become bloodthirsty monsters.

The monsters that Zhang Tianshi later dealt with in the "Taishang Xuan Miao Sutra" were those patients who had taken the grass of life and death.

As winter dawned, the patients became more and more insane.

Originally, they were afraid of the sun during the day, so they did not dare to appear.

But in winter, when the temperature drops, they dare to come out during the day.

It's even crazier and more frightening than before.

At the end of the scripture, it is said that Zhang Tianshi led the five thunders from the sky down to earth and eliminated those monsters in one fell swoop.

These monsters are too terrifying to describe in the "Taishang Mystery Sutra".

She really didn't dare to imagine that if such a plague spread in the city of Tokyo, how many innocent people, princes and nobles would be involved in this disaster.

"Miss Sheng, the reason why I want to invite you this time is to invite you to help us examine a few corpses, the person who was bitten to death by Yongding Hou Shizhang. Fearing that the corpses would be resurrected, he burned most of the corpses, leaving only one of them. ”

"That guy was originally a native of the countryside, and the inquest technique was still learned from others. He was a little unsure, so I wanted to invite Miss Sheng over and help us take a look. ”

Sheng Mingyu knew that Zhan Hongling invited her out, and there must be nothing good about it.

She only made her debut halfway, but she had studied medicine with others for a few days, and was pulled out for autopsy again and again by Zhan Hongling.

This time, it was the people who were bitten to death by the plague patients.

What if the corpse suddenly comes back to life?

Zhan Hongling saw the worried look on Sheng Mingyu's face, and knew that she was worried in her heart, so she said.

"Miss Sheng doesn't need to worry, we will definitely ensure Miss Sheng's safety."

Sheng Mingyu sighed a few times.

has already gotten into Zhan Hongling's carriage, is it possible that he can still get off?

Half an hour later, the coachman drove the carriage into a village on the outskirts of Beijing.

This Zhuangzi is the Huangzhuang, and it is the Zhuangzi that the official family personally bought.

A few days ago, the people of the Imperial City Division were here to watch Shi Zhang.

Entering the room where Shi Zhang was held before, Sheng Mingyu smelled an extremely strong smell of blood.

The smell of blood was too strong, reaching his throat, and not long after he walked in, Sheng Mingyu hurriedly folded it out and retched for a while.

"Put on a scarf and let's go in and see!"

Zhan Hongling took out a face towel and handed it to Sheng Mingyu.

Sheng Mingyu took the face towel, endured the pungent and unpleasant smell of blood, and entered the room again.

Walking to the room where Shi Zhang was held before, Sheng Mingyu found blood all over the ground, which seemed to have changed from bright red to black after some days.

In addition to the blood in one place, there was also chicken feathers in one place, and a wall of blood was also splashed on the surrounding walls.

The iron chain was broken, and looking at it, Shi Zhang had completely turned into a bloodthirsty monster.

Yongding Hou broke free from the chains, and ran out of Zhuangzi while the guards of the Imperial City Division were not paying attention. The guards found that the Yongding Marquis had disappeared without a trace. ”

"I searched all over the Zhuangzi, plus the nearby Zhuangzi, but I didn't find any trace of Shi Zhang, or a few days ago I found that someone was bitten by a monster in the village next door."

"Where is the body? I want to see the corpse! ”

Sheng Mingyu finished talking, only to see Zhan Hongling clapping his hands, and outside the house, the official of Kaifeng Mansion carried in the corpse that had been bitten beyond recognition by an unknown monster and had its intestines flowing all over the ground.

The corpse hadn't been brought in yet, Sheng Mingyu only felt that the smell was too nasal and couldn't hold back for a while, and almost vomited out the breakfast he had eaten in the morning.

"This body was found in the woods outside Zhuangzi last night, when we found him, he still had a breath of air, we asked him, he said that he was a villager in the nearby Zhuangzi, because there were bloodthirsty monsters in the village, constantly eating people, he took a group of villagers to find monsters, but he didn't expect to come back."

Hearing Zhan Hongling say this, Sheng Mingyu took a closer look at the corpse, the corpse was tied to the stretcher by iron chains one by one, and even the two hands were handcuffed made of stainless steel.

It seems that Zhan Hongling was worried that this corpse, like those corpses that had been bitten by the plague, would eventually turn into a bloodthirsty monster.

Putting on the autopsy gloves handed over by Zhan Hongling, Sheng Mingyu carefully examined the corpse.

Although he has been dead for a few days, he can already see what he is on.

The whole body was bitten beyond recognition, as if it had been subjected to some terrible attack.

It seems that there is more than one monster attacking him, there are seven or eight.

"The villagers who went out with him to find monsters, except for him, the others have become bloodthirsty monsters, and during the day, they have been burned by a few people led by the servants. He was supposed to have been bitten along with the others, but among those people, everyone but him had become bloodthirsty monsters. ”

Everyone but him has become a bloodthirsty monster.

So why didn't he turn into a bloodthirsty monster?

Sheng Mingyu remembered that it was written in "Taishang Xuanmiao Sutra" that the grass of life and death can resurrect people and turn them into bloodthirsty monsters, and at the same time, the medicinal properties of the grass of life and death can also control those people.

Although Sheng Mingyu had never seen the grass of life and death in person.

But the effect of the grass of life and death must be the same as that of the fungus growing in the poisonous miasma of Yunnan.

Some of the fungi that grow in the poisonous miasma of Yunnan can also cause people to hallucinate and lead to madness.

You may even see some visions, and you can see the little people dancing.

Presumably, the reason why those plague patients turned into bloodthirsty monsters also had something to do with this.

"What do you want me to do? Did you find any clues from this corpse? ”

Sheng Mingyu said, raising his head and glancing at Zhan Hongling.

Zhan Hongling's face was gloomy, obviously knowing something, but he was reluctant to tell her.
