Chapter 189: Three Clear Views
As the saying goes, the thief captures the king first.
Jin Se threw out her iron claws and clamped the Taoist priest's neck, and with a slight movement of her slender fingertips, the Taoist priest's face was bruised, and he couldn't even make a sound.
Seeing that Jin Se had subdued the Taoist priest, the spring silkworm jumped up to help Hua San hit a few more thugs, and shouted to the thugs who were about to pounce on him: "If you don't stop, your immortals will become earth immortals." ”
At this time, the Taoist priest had been pulled closer by Jin Se as soon as he raised his hand and was like a dead pig. Jin Se only moved a few fingers, and the Taoist priest couldn't move anymore.
"Ouch, Childe, this can't be helped."
Jin Se subdued the Taoist priest, and the underground Shi Niang was scared of her soul, and she didn't care about kneeling on her knees and hurriedly crawled a few times to Hua Lan's feet, kowtowing like a chicken pecking rice: "Don't be a son." Childe just wants to stay in the town for less than half a day, and our family has to live in the town. Even if my husband and wife fight for their lives, as well as Geng'er and Xin'er, as soon as the son makes such a move, our whole family will be in a catastrophe. ”
Hua Lan picked up Shi Niang with a heavy heart, coldly swept the thugs who were still eyeing the courtyard fiercely, and then saw that although the Taoist priest was forced to be subdued, he still had a rampant smile on his face.
It looks like it's going to be an uphill battle.
Hua Lan helped Shi Niang to the house and sat down, and motioned to Chun Silkworm and Hua San to catch and tie up these people, and then helped Liu Qingmeng to the house.
In the corner of the room, Geng'er and Xin'er were frightened, and the sister and brother huddled together, shivering constantly.
It's an ordinary small courtyard surrounded by a lot of neighbors.
There was a lot of movement in the small courtyard, but after the Taoist priests and thugs were subdued, there was not a single sound around them.
Eeriely dull, with a silent resentment. These resentments, with a hint of hope, permeate the surroundings, like a solid wall, isolating some dangerous factors.
Probably too confident, the Taoist priest was tied up in the small courtyard for a long time, and the reinforcements came.
This gave Hua Lan time to figure out the ins and outs.
Jin Se Jin Se, without waiting for these thugs and Taoist priests to hum, they will point their dumb holes.
This group of rabble, relying on the strength of the people, no one dares to speak out and run rampant in the town, and the kung fu on their bodies is not diligent, and even Hua San is no match. What's more, Hua Lan also has a Jinse girl with super martial arts by her side.
There was no sound in the courtyard, and the couple gradually calmed down from their panic.
It's already a big disaster, I'm afraid it's useless. Liu Qingmeng saw that these outsiders were not idle characters.
Liu Qingmeng had a bottom in his heart, and his courage gradually increased. He asked his wife Shi Niang to hide in the West House with a pair of children, and told Hua Lan about the whole story of the town.
It turned out that half a year ago, a group of Taoist priests came to the west mountain of Xiantao Town.
There was originally an abandoned Taoist temple on the west mountain, after these Taoist priests came, they began to repair the Taoist temple, and later changed the name of the temple, called: "Sanqing Temple!" ”
It is also strange that not long after the "Sanqingguan" was renovated, a strange illness occurred in the town.
This illness is very strange, and everyone in the town has the same symptoms, they are all tired and have difficulty in appetite. I can't eat, and some have diarrhea.
Lang Zhong in the town has seen it all and drank a lot of decoction, but it doesn't get better.
This symptom has spread very seriously, every household is miserable, Xiantao Town is under the jurisdiction of Wan'an County, but after hearing the report, Ruan Xiaocun, the county lord, was so frightened that he didn't even dare to show his head, and even the pavilion chief and the lieutenant chief ran away.
Later, the Feiyun Daoist of Sanqingguan found the county government and said that he could solve the plague.
When the magistrate heard this, he clapped his hands and immediately gave an order, and all the governance plans of Xiantao Town were handed over to this Feiyun Dao Chief.
This Feiyun Dao Chief, after arriving in Xiantao Town, first asked every household in the town to hand over all the poultry and livestock they raised, and then issued a notice that everyone in the town would buy the vegetables distributed by the Taoist priests to survive.
Every morning, the Taoist priests would distribute the soup brewed in the temple to each household, and each household would buy the vegetables distributed by the Taoist priests in addition to the vegetables they had grown.
The Feiyun Dao Governor issued a ban on the consumption of faint meat in the town, except for outsiders.
Southwest Mountain, Sanqingguan, what is this Feiyun Dao chief doing?
Hua Lan listened to it, but she didn't hear anything substantial.
If this Feiyun Dao Master deliberately directed this absurd drama, there must be a reason, but what could be this reason?
As soon as she put a question mark in her mind, the spring silkworm couldn't bear it.
"If you get the plague, you will definitely die. I've heard that the plague is terrible, and it spreads quickly, and the town is just having diarrhea and no energy, is this a plague? If it was a plague, the town should be sealed immediately, why could outsiders still come in, and they didn't care if the townspeople went elsewhere? ”
"I also have doubts about this matter. It's a pity that people are lonely and powerless. ”
Liu Qingmeng shook his head helplessly: "If it is a bit reasonable to say at the beginning, but as time goes by, there will be resistance in the town." It's not like you've seen it too, the people who resisted were caught, and the sinking pond was good, and the bad ones were just sold alive. ”
"Huh?"
The spring silkworm covered her mouth in shock, and Hua Lan's heart began to sink.
"For more than half a year, three to five hundred people have died in the town. These people are like having eyes, and the smell of meat wafts from someone's yard, and it didn't take long for them to find out. If they resist, the lives of the whole family will not be saved. It's not easy to get out of town, it's not going out of town, it's going to the ghost gate, hey! ”
Liu Qingmeng covered his face sadly as he spoke: "Originally, I was preparing for the township exam this year, but as a result, Changyun Dao said a word, and my exam qualification was cancelled. ”
The township examination is once every three years, and if you miss it, you have to wait for three years. The resentment in Liu Qingmeng's heart can be imagined.
There was a moment of silence in the room, and the silence was a little heavy.
"Master, this Taoist priest is really suspicious, do you think the people in the town are really suffering from the plague?"
The first to break the silence was the spring silkworm, the master can cure any disease, and the plague can probably also be cured.
She was very confident and said to Liu Qingmeng: "My master is not an ordinary identity, maybe he can help his son." ”
Hua Lan had already noticed the faces of the people in the town and the appearance of the plague, she had checked a lot of information and watched a lot of videos. Moreover, if there is a plague in the town, it is impossible for Lang Zhong of the herb shop to sit in the shop with peace of mind.
Everything is a little weird, and the problem must be in Sanqingguan.
"You said that the main reason for all this is that it started from Sanqingguan, and when the plague began to occur in the town, did the Taoist priest of Sanqingguan come?"
"Not long after the renovation of Sanqingguan, an epidemic gradually broke out in the town. And ......"
Liu Qingmeng put his hand down from his face, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Since Childe has the same medical skills, according to Childe's observation, is there really an epidemic in the town?" ”
"The epidemic is really suspicious."
Hua Lan wanted to analyze it seriously, and she asked Liu Qingmeng: "Besides Xiantao Town, do you have any other places to go?" ”
"The uncle of the good wife is in Wan'an County, and he has also repaired books before, and he wants us to go over. Originally, I was going to leave a long time ago, but these changes happened in the town, and I didn't make it. ”
Liu Qingmeng understood the meaning of Hua Lan's words and said busily.
"That's fine, you go clean up now, and we'll get you out of town later."
Without further ado, Hua Lan didn't have time to hesitate, there were people from Sanqingguan tied up in the courtyard, these people were extremely vicious, and they would definitely not let go of the family.
If you want to let go of your hands and feet, you must not let these people scratch their wrists.
