Chapter 58 The Plague That Raged

The medicine boy looked at Candle Tian quietly, carefully savored Candle Tian's words just now, and seemed to understand something.

However, the stubborn medicine boy still didn't say a word, but kept silent, and let the soldiers of the little marquis take the three of them to the barracks by the river and secretly imprisoned them.

It was the head of the soldier who was guarding the three men. However, after seeing that there were three people who were imprisoned, he was also shocked in his heart, and couldn't wait to ask: "How can it be the three of you, is Huang Bo's death really related to you, but this shouldn't be, I have seen Huang Bo's body, but it died of natural old age, and it has nothing to do with anyone." ”

Chen Xin asked puzzledly: "How can it be that he dies of old age naturally?" The previous Huang Bo was full of green silk, full of energy, walking briskly, and even speaking was sonorous and powerful. ”

The soldier glanced at Chenxin and stepped forward to take a closer look. Then he said, "Are you blind or have you been caught in witchcraft?" is still full of green silk, Huang Bo is almost 90 years old, as early as 20 years before I joined the army, Huang Bo was already a gray-haired old man. But it's true that I'm energetic, I speak strongly, and I walk steadily. ”

Chen Xin was shocked and said: "It's not good, there is a problem with the medicine boy next to Huang Bo, it was he who let us see the middle-aged Huang Bo, which made us fall into prison, and we also threw ourselves into the net." ”

But in response to himself was the snake's right-hand look at the fool's expression and Candle Sky's hateful gaze. Frightened, Chen Xin quickly closed his mouth obediently, not daring to make a sound.

But the sound of trumpets and gongs and drums outside the barracks soon spread throughout the barracks. The head of the soldier walked to the center of the three-day cell and shouted loudly: "I believe that you are all good men in my Qicheng, now there is an urgent matter, all the medicinal herbs in Qicheng and the surrounding mountains have begun to wither, and the legend about the god of medicine has begun to come true, I need you to go out and do what you can for the people of the city, instead of locking you in the cell and doing nothing." ”

There was a burst of shouting from the cell. A black-faced man shouted: "We are all the people of Qicheng, and at this critical moment of life and death, it is our duty to protect the peace of the people of the city." Rest assured, when this is over, we will continue to return here to receive the punishment we deserve, and if we don't come back, we are dead. ”

All the people in the cell came out, nodded to the soldiers one by one, and went to all parts of Qicheng to protect the peace of the people, and the last to come out were the three of them.

The soldier said: "You are all strangers, while the whole city is under martial law now, and the plague has not yet arrived, you should leave here quickly." After you go out, don't tell anyone that you've been to Qicheng, and no one will embarrass you. This is my wooden sign, you take it with you, if you encounter the obstruction of other city officers and soldiers, you can get out calmly with this. ”

Chen Xin picked up the wooden card, and when he saw the word "Chutian" on the wooden card, he could no longer suppress his emotions in his heart. said: "Thank you, General Chutian, the god of war, we will definitely not leave Qicheng, you probably didn't expect that our brother General Suzaku who we once met, he was guarding the area of Buzhou Mountain, and he was heartfelt, I have admired you for a long time." ”

Candle Tian saw that the head of the soldiers in front of him was actually the god of war Chutian, and he also said respectfully: "Thank you for the kindness of the general, I am afraid that the plague in Qicheng can only be resolved by the three of us, although many people may die, but the victory must belong to us in the end." ”

Chu Tian said: "It turns out that you are all friends of the Suzaku brothers, and you also have magical powers that are different from ordinary people, since you can resolve the plague, then I will thank you for the people of the whole city." ”

"We all have our own different missions, and our identities are not easy to say. But Candle Heaven is a true god race, since Qicheng believes in the god of medicine, then as a member of the god of medicine, he will definitely be able to successfully resolve the coming plague. ”

When Chu Tian heard the words of the snake right, he knelt directly on the ground and said, "Thank you for the protection of the Protoss, I, Chu Tian, will definitely ensure your safety and prevent the tragedy of the previous dynasty from happening again." ”

Candle Tian came to the medical hall, the medicine boy looked at Candle Tian and the three of them, and said embarrassedly: "It's because I was too willful before, since it is the old acquaintance of the teacher, they must all be good people, and I was angry that you took away the strange book of the teacher, so I made this decision." ”

Chen Xin said: "Looking at your method of taking medicine and the way you walk, I guess that strange book has already been familiar in my heart." Now that you've learned it, why do you care where the book is?"

The medicine boy said: "Qishu is the only thing that the teacher carries with him, I just don't want him to fall into the hands of irrelevant people, since you are the old people of the teacher, you are not an irrelevant person." ”

Candle Tian said: "Since the news of the plague was spread by you. So, do you know when the plague will start and how to get rid of it?"

The medicine boy said: "Where I have that ability, it was all told to me by my teacher in advance. Tonight, the herbs in the whole city will die and lose their effect, and the same will be true for the herbs on the five mountains behind. At that time, the plague will also ravage Qicheng. If you want to get rid of the plague, there are only two ways, one is to find the savior who is reincarnated by my teacher, and then I will put the medical knowledge that my teacher taught me into the body of the savior, along with the memories, so that the savior will be the next god of medicine, and the plague will be cured with the advent of the god of medicine. ”

Chu Tian said: "What about the second way? It takes time to wait for the reincarnation of the Medicine God, or a week, but it is still the fastest time according to historical records. ”

The medicine boy said: "Second, it is to go to the distant mountains to pick herbs, and make a medicinal soup to drive away the plague, and bring them to the city, which can also effectively suppress the spread of the plague. However, it is important not to bring the herb to Qicheng or the surrounding area, otherwise the herb will lose its effect and become a poison that spreads the plague. ”

Chu Tian said: "Since this is the case, then without further ado, we will split up, I will wait for all the soldiers to go to other places to pick herbs before the time of the child, and put the herbs at the post station ten miles away, and the medicine boy will be responsible for making the decoction to suppress the plague." ”

The medicine boy said, "That's fine, but the potion can be made with the help of the doctors of the whole city." I have more important things to do. ”

Chen Xin asked, "Isn't making a decoction the most important thing right now......?" ”

Chu Tian interrupted, "I know what you mean, you are going to find the reincarnation of the Medicine God. Indeed, apart from you, I'm afraid that other people are really difficult to deal with in this matter, and I am negligent. Then the four of you will go and promote the reincarnation of the medicine god, and give me full authority to make the decoction. I'm going to prepare now, hopefully as soon as possible. ”

The little Hou Ye who was standing on the side suddenly said: "This is the token of the Hou Mansion, General Chu holds it, for emergencies, I believe that the matter of summoning the doctor will save a lot of effort." ”

After Chen Xin waited for Chu Tian to leave, he asked the medicine boy: "Since it is just the plague in Qicheng, why don't you evacuate the people of the whole city to a place where there is no plague, so that when things are done, you can come back and kill a lot fewer people?"

The medicine boy said: "Someone has done this a long time ago, but the consequence is that the people who go out of the city have lost the shelter of the body of the god of medicine, but no one can survive, and almost all of them have died when the plague comes." ”

Sure enough, according to the medicine boy's prediction, the plague came as scheduled. The people of the whole city lost their previous vitality in an instant, everyone looked weak, and the people of the Hou Mansion and the people of the whole city all centered on the body of the god of medicine, kneeling nearby, praying for the god of medicine to reincarnate.

However, it is not that the closer you are to the body of the god of medicine, the plague will lessen a lot. Instead, it's random and irregular illness, coughing up blood, and death.

Looking at such a tragic scene, Candle finally knew that saving the world was not just talking, but at the cost of many people's deaths, to reject the lives of others to the greatest extent.

However, what made Candle Tian feel a little better was that the people of Qicheng would never riot even if they died, but just quietly waited for death. Those who came out of the cells, guarding everyone's side, stood at the corner of West Street, and in the face of the constant wind, carried the bodies of each dead person to the open space outside, and burned them.

Chen Xin carefully looked at every citizen of Qicheng, trying to find the savior with the power, but there was never a hint of warning. However, Chen Xin found that the location of West Street is really special, in the shape of an inverted trumpet, when the wind blows, the air will blow through the people of the city with the strong wind, enter the horn mouth, and then burn through the fire, so that it can not only avoid the panic caused by the plague, but also effectively scorch the air with the plague when the air passes above the flames.
