But Wu Xie and they were still late.

"The entire Ning Wangfu has been harmed by demons?!" When the officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the ruins of King Ning's Mansion told them the news, both of them froze.

They imagined many possibilities, but they didn't expect this one.

"How is that possible! Isn't he the head of the demons himself? Wu Xie couldn't help but shout, "It's a good thing that he doesn't harm people, who dares to harm him!" ”

However, the facts are obvious: a few days ago in the night, Ning Wangfu suddenly caught fire, the fire came extremely fierce and weird, sticking to people and not extinguishing it, if you don't soak it in water as soon as possible, you will be burned to death.

There were thousands of men, women, and children in the entire Ning Wang's Mansion, none of them could escape, and from some of the corpses found, it seemed that all of them died before the fire, and none of them could find any scars on their bodies, but they had a weird smile on their faces, obviously killed by demons.

This strange fire only burned for a short time, and the flames did not rise very high, but it burned the entire Ning Wangfu almost to a white ground, and not even a slightly intact corpse could be found from the fire.

"Have we wronged him?" Shen Yi couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "If he is really the culprit, how could he end up being killed all over the place?" ”

"Humph! Treat unjustly? Wu Xie sneered disdainfully, with murderous intent in his eyes, "In order to hide people's eyes and ears, playing such a golden cicada shell with thousands of lives in the entire palace is really not an ordinary ruthlessness, it is really not an ordinary killing decisiveness!" ”

"Master, he has the style you had back then!"

"Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. Back then, the Divine Monarch had such a great ability, but after all, he still couldn't escape the destruction of the Divine Thunder. Can this Zhu Quan escape? …… Wei Shu has been on the run for ten years, and I want to see how long he can escape! ”

The culprit has run away, but the trouble will not run away.

Nanping County, which was severely affected, still has a lot to do for Wu Jie.

This time, though, it was not his force that was needed, but his wisdom—his talent as a healer, to be precise.

"Be careful when you drink water! It should be strained with a cloth with charcoal first and then boiled...... Don't tell me anything like 'it's troublesome'! As long as I find out that there are people who can't drink clean water, I'll trouble you! ”

Wu Xie put on the majesty of Qincha, viciously scolded an official out of the city, and shouted in a voice that could be heard by half of Nan'an City: "There is miasma in the dirty water!" If you don't want to have diarrhea and bleed, just give me honest clean water! ”

King Ning is dead—let's just let him die for the time being—the current highest status in Nan'an City is him, the Qin Cha, and it is quite convenient to carry out all kinds of orders, in Wu Jie's opinion, this is probably the only good thing that Zhu Quan's bastard has done in his life.

With the identity of Qincha, Wu Xie synthesized his biological and medical knowledge at that time, designed a set of disaster reduction and epidemic prevention measures, and issued a death order to officials in various places, asking them to "implement as soon as possible if they understand, and slowly understand what they do not understand", in short, they must do what he says.

These practices are undoubtedly effective, and the people of the earth have long proven them in practice. Maybe it's not as reliable as it is on Earth in this Xianxia world, but it can definitely have some effect.

Wu Xie looked forward to it.

He knew that great plagues were often followed by plagues, and in fact plagues were far more troublesome and deadly than simple floods. Therefore, he was very nervous and anxious, not only afraid that the officials would not do what he was told, but also worried that the method would have a limited effect and would not save many people, plus there were many other things, and he could hardly sleep peacefully every night, even with his body, he was gradually a little tired.

Fortunately, though, everything went well.

As the days passed, the situation gradually subsided, and the terrifying plague did not break out. This made the officials who were suspicious of Wu Xie's orders finally die and are convinced.

"It's worthy of Qincha! At a young age, he is not only good at kung fu, but also a pedant! ”

"Although the old man still doesn't understand what Lord Qincha said, as long as the method is easy to use!"

"Yes, I don't understand it for the time being, but I will think about it slowly in the future."

Statements such as these are becoming popular among officials. Among the people, there have been many victims who have spontaneously set up immortal tablets for Wu Jie, and some people even swear that they dream of seeing gods and spirits at night and pass on their disciples or something.

"Fourth, you have six or seven more masters during this time, and they are all very capable." Du Ruo said with a smile while eating the glutinous rice cake that had been successfully made according to the ideas provided by Wu Jie, "Salvation Bodhisattva, Medicine King God, Immortal Emperor, Puji Venerable...... Today, even the plague god master came to intervene, I think his old man should hate you to the bone now, right! ”

"What are those! A bunch of grass-headed gods! Jasmine pursed her lips disdainfully, "If I hadn't been able to get out of the Heavenly Book World, I would have been able to strangle a few with one hand!" ”

This breath was ridiculously loud, Du Ruo suddenly choked, choked on a mouthful of glutinous rice cake and coughed in his throat for a long time, and only after turning into a spirit did he let it fall.

"Whew...... Sure enough, ghosts also have the benefits of ghosts! If I'm still alive, I'll choke to death this time......"

"A congenital master who choked to death with glutinous rice cakes...... Can you be more funny? ”

"Isn't it funnier than 'the disciple of the plague god invents a way to prevent the plague and provide disaster relief'?"

Wu Jie's complaint was unceremoniously pushed back, and he had to pinch his nose and go to do things, unable to argue with Du Ruo anymore.

After a while, Du Ruo couldn't help but say again: "I said, fourth, our brothers have eaten and lived together since childhood, why have I never seen you have such ability?" Didn't you forget everything in your previous life that was struck by lightning? ”

"I'm not the only one in the life of the Divine King...... Before I was reincarnated here, I lived a life in a very powerful and prosperous world, strictly speaking, that was my previous life. In my previous life, I learned so much! ”

"Oh? This set of methods that came out this time ...... Also learned in a previous life? ”

"Yes, it's a pity that I wasn't a professional scholar in my previous life, and all I could come up with was something popular. Otherwise, it may be able to help more people. Wu Xie sighed lightly, "When the book is used, I hate it less!" ”

"Master, you're wrong! You help them, you are merciful; If you don't help them, that's human nature. For what you have done for them, they should repay them with their lives...... What else are you not satisfied with? Even when you were still with your supernatural powers, you didn't dare to say that you could do everything you wanted. ”

Jasmine's words are a bit biased, but at least the last sentence is quite convincing, and it enters Wu Jie's heart.

It's not that he doesn't want to do more for the victims, it's that his ability is limited, and he has done his best to do it to this extent.

"If I have the same ability as the Divine Monarch in the past, I guess this natural disaster can be quelled in one fell swoop, right?" He thought silently, and once again strengthened his determination to become an immortal.

He had been busy in Nanping County for almost a month, and at the beginning of December, the disaster finally subsided, and the envoys of the imperial court finally arrived.

This envoy is an acquaintance, surnamed Xiong Qiuye, who is a side branch of the current royal family, one of the leaders of the forbidden army of the Great Chu State, and one of Wu Jie's teachers.

General Xiong apparently did not like this errand, and after reading the decree, he hurried into a Taoist temple to retreat as if he had fled, leaving his deputy in charge of various specific matters.

The content of this decree is roughly as follows: first, it affirms the contribution of the civil and military officials of Nanping County to the fight against natural disasters under the leadership of King Ning; then mourned King Ning, who was unfortunately killed by the demons, and said that he would look for a master to avenge him; Next, he praised Wu Jie's great achievements in disaster relief and epidemic prevention, and named him the Marquis of Jishi; Finally, it was announced that Nanping County would be exempted from taxes for three years and that a large amount of materials would be allocated.

Overall, everyone was happy.

And at this time, Wu Xie was finally ready to leave.

His original intention was to go out to seek immortals, but when he saw the disaster, he was obligated to come forward. Now that the disaster has basically subsided, it is time to retire.

He politely refused the invitation of the officials of Nanping County, visited Xiong Qiuye and Shen Yi respectively, and after saying goodbye to the two alone, he quietly left Nan'an City and came to a small town in the northwest of Nanping County.

He was passing by here a while ago during a disaster relief trip and met a young man who made a deep impression on him.

The man, Clay, was born into a wealthy family of potters, and he was the only one left to die when he was attacked by poisonous insects that had been driven out of the mountains by the flood. If it weren't for Wu Xie arriving just in time, even he himself would definitely have only a dead end.

After being rescued by Wu, facing the tragic situation of the murder of the whole family, Tao Tu was not as grief-stricken as ordinary people, and seemed very calm, but there was a bit of loneliness in his eyes.

"A prosperous life, in the blink of an eye, into nothing." After joining the disaster relief team and solving some local problems, he lamented, "We used to be very lively here, but all of a sudden it was depressed; My family used to be rich and powerful, and the family was full of guests, but suddenly I was the only one left...... These things in the world are so fragile! ”

"Yes! So I'm going to go and ask for immortals after the disaster relief is over. Wu Xie responded.

"Can you take me with you?" Tao Tu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered something, and said, "There is a legend in my family, saying that the ancestors did not succeed in seeking immortals, but they got a token that they could worship in the immortal gate." If Wu Daxia is interested, I am willing to give you this token, I just ask you to take me to ask for immortals! ”

Wu Xie came over this time, just to find him to go to the immortal together.

By the time he arrived in town, the clay was ready.

The young potter scattered all his family wealth, leaving only some money and things that were convenient to take away, all of which added up to a bamboo basket for a scholar's study tour, carrying the bamboo basket on his back, and he was relaxed.

"I want to explain first, I don't know how to seek immortals." Wu explained.

"It's okay, I found it in the mezzanine of the genealogy, the place where the ancestors failed to seek immortals was in Qingniu Town, Yanling County, Dayue Kingdom, let's go there and have a look!" The clay's round face was full of longing, "I believe that a person like you, Wu Daxia, who is young and capable, and has such a noble character, the immortals will definitely be willing to accept you as an apprentice!" When the time comes, be sure to carry it with you! ”

"Then I will accept your good words." Wu Xie Ha smiled and agreed.

According to the map, they decided to bypass the reckless mountains and rivers in the south of Nanping County, go to Dayue Kingdom by sea, and then go up the famous Dachi River in the south until they reached Yanling County.

According to the ancestors of the Hu family, Qingniu Town is in the northwest of Yanling County, where several rivers converge into the Da Chi River, which is easy to find.

Winter in the south is not cold, although it is already December, the sun is still warm, and the wind blows warmly.

Two young people full of fantasies about the future and cultivating immortals rode horses and set off together in the warm sun.

They set out from the rolling red dust to go beyond the earth, to find a way beyond the mortal.
