Chapter 14: Singing the Mantra of the Dead
Chapter 14 sings the mantra of the dead
Seeing Nian Jiuling glaring at her, she suddenly realized that her identity must not be revealed.
The official pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then there is Master Lao, and the lower official will go to gather the corpse." ”
The official left with people, and Luo Chen said, "Huang Jun is a good official." ”
Leng Yue nodded and said, "Yes, as soon as I saw this, I knew that he was a good official, and I hope he can convince those people." ”
Nian Jiuling looked at the deceased, and those who had the plague bled after death, and some of them also emitted a foul smell and had a red rash on their bodies. He reported the situation to Leng Yue, who thought for a while and said, "Are there many mosquitoes here?" ”
The man who was taken care of by Luochen said in a hoarse voice: "Just a dozen days ago, a large number of mosquitoes suddenly surged in the city, which were very large and painful to bite. As a result, within a few days, someone fell ill, and then the plague broke out. ”
Leng Yue looked up at the sky, there were very few mosquitoes at noon, and if it was evening, mosquitoes would come out of their burrows en masse. So he shouted to those who were still able to work: "Go and tell each other to light wormwood at night to smoke mosquitoes, and not to let mosquitoes bite again." ”
Those people looked at Leng Yue, couldn't help but be impressed by her noble temperament, and obediently went to look for wormwood.
Leng Yue asked the patient again, "Is there a lake here?" ”
The patient pointed in one direction, and Leng Yue called Nian Jiuling to walk in that direction. It didn't take long for them to see a small man-made lake, with a lot of garbage in it, and if you looked closely, you could see that there were many mosquito larvae swimming in it.
If it is impossible to drain the lake, it seems that the only way to do it is to use physical moves. Leng Yue found the official Huang Jun on the street and said, "Lord Huang, please smash all the garlic in the city and throw it into the lake." If you don't kill the mosquito larvae in the lake, it will be a disaster for them to come out of the water. ”
Huang Jun looked at Leng Yue and saw that her eyes were sincere, so he no longer doubted it and gave an order. After a while, all the garlic in the city arrived, and Leng Yue saluted Luochen and said, "Trouble the master to chant the scriptures by the lake, and surpass those creatures who have been killed by mistake." ”
Falling dust nodded, and the scriptures fluttered. Leng Yue personally reached out and smashed the garlic with a stone to collect the juice and poured it into the lake, and some capable people also reached out to help. When all the garlic was thrown into the lake, Leng Yue observed for a while and found that the concentration was not enough, and there were still fish that slipped through the net, so he asked the people to take out all the salt and pour it into the lake. As a result, in the evening, there was a layer of dead fish floating on the lake, and the cold moon sighed.
Luochen said: "Life and death are just a cycle, don't mind, in this life they are fish, but they died because of saving people, they will definitely have a good home in the next life." ”
Leng Yue raised her tired face and smiled: "What the master said is, now let's go and cremate those people." Then she ordered some men to take out the dead fish and bury them so that they would not rot in the water.
When they arrived at the square where the dead bodies were piled up, the corpses were piled up into a hill and surrounded by soldiers, and the relatives of those corpses cried and wanted to snatch back the bodies of their relatives, but they had no choice but to besiege the city with the death of the officers and soldiers.
Seeing that the people were so excited, Huang Jun was ruthless, picked up his robe and knelt on the ground.
"Yinhe City suffered this catastrophe, but Huang had no way to govern it, and Huang was willing to suffer from this fire with them." With that, he got up and picked up the torch and walked to the pile of corpses.
Leng Yue secretly scolded an idiot, hurriedly stepped forward to grab Huang Jun, and then shouted to the people: "Lord Huang is a good official, you can bear to let him die?" ”
The people talked about it, they knew that Huang Jun was a good official, but they couldn't bear to let the bodies of their relatives be burned like this.
Leng Yue took a few steps forward and said, "Look at those who have died, whether they are fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, or sons, although their bodies are burned at this moment, your lives can be saved. What parent doesn't want their children to live well? I think that if they could speak at this moment, they would approve of my approach, and what they were most afraid of was not going to hell, but of seeing their relatives on the Huangquan Road! ”
I don't know who it is, so I called out miserably: "Dad, my son is not filial, you can go on the road!" Then a few more knelt down, and at last all the people knelt down and wept without any further restraint.
Leng Yue gritted her teeth and threw the torch in her hand towards the corpse pile, the corpse was doused with oil and quickly burned, Leng Yue sang "The Curse of Death" loudly, and after singing it again, the dust fell and joined, and the two of them chanted in unison in the face of the raging fire......
A miracle happened, the dark sky actually appeared in a colorful glow, and white fluorescence appeared in the fire and circled in the sky and threw itself into the glow. The people who knelt on the ground forgot their grief and became excited, and I don't know who shouted: "Mother, you have ascended to heaven!" ”
The people echoed and kept kowtowing, and the monks and laymen who chanted the "Mantra of Death" became immortals in their eyes.
After a night of burning, the corpse turned into ashes, suddenly felt dizzy, shook and was held by someone, and when I opened my eyes, it was dust. A strange emotion flashed in Luochen's eyes, and Leng Yue fainted without seeing clearly.
When Leng Yue woke up, it was already noon, Nian Jiuling brought a bowl of porridge and said, "Eat something, there is not much surplus food in the city, so I can only eat porridge." ”
Leng Yue nodded and drank the porridge in a few sips, got up and said, "Can the plague continue to expand?" ”
Nian Jiuling shook his head and said, "No, it seems that the plague is really spread by mosquitoes." ”
Leng Yue put her mind at ease and said, "Let's go out and have a look, I hope it can help." ”
Nian Jiuling helped Leng Yue out of the house, and saw that the busy people had smiles on their faces, not as bleak as yesterday. Luochen stretched out his hand to hold Leng Yue's other arm, and said softly, "Why don't you rest more?" ”
Leng Yue shook her head and sighed: "I'm really useless, I actually passed out, it's so embarrassing." ”
Luochen chuckled: "No, you're too tired." ”
Leng Yue took a look, and the people who had taken the medicine were all very good, it seemed that this was not a plague, but a virus infection. In ancient times, the corpses of people were very clean and there were no antibiotics of all kinds, so once they encountered a mutant of bacteria, they would fall ill. They don't know how to prevent it, and blind treatment is useless. If the root cause of the virus is cut off and there is no contagion from person to person, then this place will soon be alive again.
Nian Jiuling said with some concern: "It's okay here, let's rush back as soon as possible." ”
Leng Yue nodded, glanced at the dust, and reluctance rose in her heart, she didn't know why she felt like this, she knew that this was not love, but she couldn't tell what it was.
Luochen seemed to see Leng Yue's psychology, and said with a smile: "Separation is integration, integration is separation, division and integration is the only way in life." What is the good scripture you chanted yesterday? ”
