Chapter Ninety-Five: The Plague
Tong'an City was captured for three days, and the people and troops in the city had not yet been pacified, and news suddenly came from Jiayuan City.
Hundreds of people have died and thousands more have been infected by the outbreak of plague in the city, and the people are trying to move away.
When Wang Yi heard the plague, he first thought of the Nanwu Clan, it was really suspicious that such a large-scale plague appeared for no reason.
Secondly, thinking of Bajie, with its ability to devour poison, this plague is likely to be able to deal with it.
For the sake of caution, Wang Yi decided to go back to Jiayuan City in person to find out the situation, leave the Voldemort Beast who was recuperating in the blood pool in Tong'an City, and rush back to Jiayuan City with Qin Ming and Wu Chenfeng.
Under the whip of the fast horse, the three-hundred-mile journey only took one day, and when the sky was dark, he returned to Jiayuan City.
I saw that the four gates of Jiayuan City were closed, prohibiting people from entering and leaving. Seeing Wang Yi returning, the soldiers defending the city hurriedly opened the city gate.
The originally lively city was extremely deserted at this time, except for the soldiers patrolling around, there was not half a common person on the street.
In the General's Mansion, General Lu Bi and Shangguan Feng looked tired and frowned. Seeing Wang Yi come back, the two of them smiled a little and told about the plague.
The plague had begun seven days earlier, when several people in the city appeared to have died of unknown causes, but more and more people were showing symptoms and dying.
The plague spread rapidly in the city. Soon a large number of people would have to flee the city from the plague.
Shangguan Feng made a quick decision and ordered the city to be closed. And a deserted village ten miles west of the city was sorted out, and the sick people were moved over.
Even so, many people were infected with the plague every day, and the village was overcrowded. Fortunately, apart from Jiayuan City, no epidemic has been detected elsewhere.
Shangguan Feng also knew that Bajie could detoxify, but she was busy dealing with things in the city, and when she thought of it, Bajie was nowhere to be found.
In the past, Bajie went out to play naughtily, and he returned soon after, but now he has been missing for three days. Speaking of Bajie's disappearance, Shangguan Feng was full of self-blame.
The plague broke out and Bajie disappeared, and Wang Yi instinctively felt that there was a connection between the two.
Shangguan Feng and General Lu Bi are both careful people, although they can't cure the plague, they have also found some suspicious points.
The plague mainly broke out in the west of the city, especially after isolation, and the newly infected people were all in the west of the city, and the west of the city should be the source of the plague.
Shangguan Feng also marked several suspicious places on the map, and the two of them also went to investigate, but they found nothing.
Without further ado, Wang Yi decided to immediately take Qin Ming and the madman to the west of the city to investigate. Shangguan Feng and General Lu Bi also insisted on going, but were left to rest.
Although Bajie is missing, Wang Yi still has the poison-repelling jewel in his arms, which has a miraculous effect on detoxification.
As soon as they arrived in the west of the city, they saw a group of blindfolded soldiers carrying a man out, and saw that the man's face was full of abscesses, and his breath was like a gossamer, and it was difficult to live.
Ignoring everyone's opposition, Wang Yi walked up to the man, put the poison-repellent orb under his nose and smelled it, and at the same time injected a trace of spiritual power into his body, and then ordered someone to carry it away, and ordered to pay attention to this person's condition, and if there is any improvement, report it quickly.
Soon they arrived at a suspicious location, a large mansion, and the people in the house were infected with the epidemic and seemed empty.
Wang Yi carefully searched the backyard from the front yard and found nothing wrong. Then I went to the next location, and still didn't get anything.
In the west of the city, the Silver Dragon Pavilion, since the Silver Dragon Gang kidnapped Wen Wan'er, Wang Yi ordered the Silver Dragon Gang to be wiped out, and the Silver Dragon Pavilion has been deserted.
Coincidentally, the suspicious places on the map were all around the Silver Dragon Pavilion, and after searching those places, I happened to pass by the Silver Dragon Pavilion.
Wang Yi stood at the gate of the Silver Dragon Pavilion, his brows furrowed and his face suspicious.
Because at the door of the Silver Dragon Pavilion, he smelled a familiar smell, which was the smell of Bajie's body.
Bajie has a special smell on his body, Wang Yi has lived with him for a long time, and he is very familiar with the smell.
Although the smell was faint, he was still keenly aware of it.
Bajie will not appear here for no reason, and this is the outbreak point of the plague, this Silver Dragon Pavilion is very suspicious.
When Qin Ming saw Wang Yi's expression, he knew that there was something wrong with this Silver Dragon Pavilion, and ordered it to be surrounded. Soldiers were ordered to guard outside, and the three of them entered over the wall.
Entering the courtyard, the smell became a little heavier, and Wang Yi was more sure of his judgment.
Follow the smell, come to the backyard rockery, there is a passage in the rockery, go to the end along the passage, there is a hole in the ground, the strange thing is that there is a faint light in the hole at this time, flickering and flickering.
Qin Ming stepped forward and was about to enter the cave, but was stopped behind by Wang Yi. After staring at the entrance of the cave for a long time, Wang Yi's eyes flashed, and he slowly walked into the cave.
After walking down about two feet, a spacious stone room appeared in front of the three of them. The stone chamber was empty, except for the oil lamps lit on the walls, indicating that there had been a person here.
"It seems that we have alarmed the people inside, whoever it is, sneakily hiding here, either treacherous or thief. Qin Ming shook his head regretfully.
Wang Yi didn't speak, just looked around suspiciously, because the smell of Bajie became extremely strong, as if it was beside him.
And the smell seemed to be still moving, flickering forward and backward, flickering left and right, and he couldn't help but clench the short sword in his hand.
Although no anomalies were found in this stone chamber, it always felt a little weird.
"Brother Qin, go up first. As soon as Wang Yi spoke, a boulder fell, blocking the entrance of the cave tightly.
"Not good, there are traps. Qin Ming raised his spear, nervously guarded.
Wang Yi was also full of spiritual power, looking around.
I thought that there would be a crossbow arrow shot, but after the boulder fell, there was no movement.
"Huh!" a soft sigh sounded in his ears.
"What person?" Wang Yi's face changed in an instant, and he swung his sword and slashed at the empty space beside him, and the sword light was like lightning.
"What are you doing here?" Qin Ming didn't hear the voice, and looked at him inexplicably.
At the next moment, Wang Yi spat blood and flew out, slamming into the wall, and Qin Ming realized that something was wrong.
"Your Uncle Qin is not afraid of ghosts!" After speaking, the spear danced wildly and stabbed the stone chamber all over.
"Brother Qin, stop. Wang Yi leaned against the wall, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"It's funny, I actually met a person with spiritual powers. As the voice echoed through the stone chamber, a gray figure emerged in the center of the chamber.
The man was young, with red lips and white teeth, and a handsome appearance, but with a little more femininity. Holding an ugly little beast with green skin in his arms, it was Bajie.
I saw Bajie moving at Wang Yi's mouth, but there was no sound.
After the man appeared, he looked at Wang Yi with a sneer, ignoring Qin Ming and the madman behind him as if they were nothing.
The madman's gaze flickered after the man appeared. Qin Ming swung his spear and stabbed the man in the back.
"Brother Qin, no. ”
Unfortunately, it was still half a step too late, and the spear was already behind the man's head. The man did not dodge or dodge, and did not seem to notice.
With a "clang", the spear stabbed the man in the back of the head, but he couldn't move forward.
Qin Ming was shocked, then his face turned ruthless and stabbed again.
only listened to the continuous sound of "sonorous", the person did not move, but Qin Ming was tired and panting.
"Ordinary people also want to hurt me, but they can't do it. Later, let the bloodworm drain your essence and blood, and keep your life for the time being. The man didn't look back at Qin Ming from beginning to end.
Qin Ming held his spear and was speechless in horror.
"Are you an immortal cultivator?" Wang Yi stared at the man, his eyes shrinking.
"Since you have spiritual powers, why can't you see through my invisibility method?" the man's face was full of teasing.
