Chapter 381: Plague
……
The mountain road was rough and bumpy, and when Gohiro took a donkey cart to and from the mountains, and hiked over several high mountains, he finally arrived at the gate of the county seat from which he had written to Master at sunset on the third day.
However, more than the mental and physical fatigue, what shocked him more was the corpse he saw on the side of the road when he walked along the road!
It may not be appropriate to use corpses, for many of them may still have a breath left, but they are already in a dying state, sickly swollen and strangely pale, with yellow-brown vomit remaining at the corners of their mouths.
Most of these are poor people who are already terminally ill and completely hopeless. There will be no one to spend useless energy to treat them. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow morning, before the sun comes out, they will take their last breath and become a wisp of dead soul in the midst of this catastrophic epidemic.
"Brace yourself! Can you still speak? Can I drink water? ”
However, Monk Wuhong couldn't stand it, and he anxiously checked them one by one along the road, and gave these poor people a sip of water from his baggage, trying to relieve their sickness......
Du Bai, who was in mid-air, looked at the purely useless rescue of the monk below with deep eyes, and thought about it in his heart.
Although he knew that according to the time calculation, this epidemic must have happened at least thousands of years ago and had nothing to do with him, if it was calculated, this monk was probably older than the Dragon King.
But when Du Bai saw these ordinary people who died of illness in his memory, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
The first is the pity that the current medical conditions have wasted these poor people who should have survived, and the second is to remain suspicious of the strange epidemic itself.
"This epidemic ...... Something doesn't seem right. ”
Du Bai frowned slightly, because he knew that this memory must be related to the little fairy, and every detail might be extremely important, so he subconsciously began to observe carefully, trying to find some suspicious points.
And although he was limited by the monk's own memories and couldn't get much information, he could still feel a strange aura.
"These plagues seem to have been deliberately unleashed?"
Du Bai slowly descended from the sky, came to the side of one of the sick patients, squatted down to carefully observe the details of his illness, and his eyes slowly became a little solemn.
"This is definitely not an ordinary epidemic, there is an evil aura that lingers in it......"
Because the Dragon King himself is the leading big brother in this area, coupled with the assistance of his own dreaming ability, he quickly deduced the suspicious information here.
"And this evil is not an ordinary demon...... The other side seems to have other intentions for releasing these viruses. ”
"For the sake of slaughter, for the plundering of the blood and souls of these mortals?!"
Du Bai's eyes couldn't help but froze slightly, and he was a little surprised in his heart, so he had a new and deeper understanding of the rampant nature of demons in this era!
"It's so arrogant!"
Unscrupulously spread the plague to the cities and towns of the mortal world, infecting thousands of innocent people, so as to plunder the spirit and soul to strengthen themselves and cultivate into a great demon!
In the eyes of Du Bai in later generations, this is simply an act that is no different from suicide!
Aren't you really afraid that people with lofty ideals from all over the world will come together to eliminate demons and defend the road? No matter how powerful it is, there are people outside the world, there are always masters who can cure it, you must know that even the Dragon Kings of later generations dare not say that they can fight against the righteous people of the whole world with their own strength!
However, what shocked Du Bai even more was that the epidemic seemed to have spread for no less than half a month, during which it spread to several towns, and there were hundreds or thousands of casualties, not to mention hundreds of casualties. But from the current monk's point of view, there is no righteous person to stop it at all!
Even the monk himself, an ordinary person without any extraordinary ability, at most has slightly better medical skills, and he is here to fight against the epidemic caused by this demon with the determination to die for a lifetime.
"This Age Is So Dark......"
Inexplicably, Du Bai felt a faint chill in his heart.
Even if the immortals and Buddhas still exist in the world in this era, it is still undeniable that this time is the most rampant and unscrupulous time for the demons.
In this kind of era where you can suck people's essence and blood at will, the thousand-year-old ghost king or demon king is not as rare as in later generations, or it is quite common, and the almost invincible strength of the Dragon King in the future may be just ordinary in this era.
At this moment, his heart jumped suddenly, Du Bai slowly raised his head to look at the fiery red sunset in the sky, which was like crying blood, and a somewhat absurd and rather strange and terrifying thought appeared in his mind.
"Maybe it can also be proved on the side...... At this time, could the immortals and Buddhas have already had some kind of fatal problem, so they can't get out of their bodies to save the mortal world? ”
He had no way of deducing the time of the death of the Buddha and the little fairy, but if it was true, he might be able to deduce some clues from the side......
In a chaotic era, demons are rampant, ghosts are abundant, and human life is like mustard......
Du Bai once again felt the trace of cold cruelty hidden in these memories of thousands of years ago.
However, at present, in order to know the truth of this era, he set his eyes on the monk Wuhong who is still doing the last rescue for those who are dying, but is still just useless.
"The current clue ...... It's still on this guy. ”
It is necessary to borrow the other party's perspective to get a glimpse of the real side of this era......
At this moment, this monk, who was a little kind enough to forget himself, finally exhausted his last bit of physical strength after being busy, and was so tired that he sat down on the ground and panted.
He raised his head and looked helplessly at the poor patients who were still dying step by step after being rescued by himself, without the slightest sign of improvement, and couldn't help but look sad.
Naturally, he had no way of knowing that this epidemic was actually deliberately emitted by a demon, and he only thought that his medical skills were not in place, so he could not save the lives of these people, so he was quite annoyed in his heart.
But he didn't stop there, but after a short rest, he got up with a resolute gaze and walked towards the medical hall of Master's friend, believing that man will conquer heaven, and as long as he delves into it, he will definitely be able to concoct an antidote that can cure this disease and save these innocent people!
