Chapter 126 Black Jade Case (9): Epidemic Zone
No matter who you are, as long as there are no disasters in life, you may only laugh at those gods and ghosts. But when you encounter bad luck and feel hopeless, all the ghosts and gods who have never seen the light will emerge from the deepest recesses of your heart.
For these, as the emperor, Renzong felt that it was no longer enough to describe it as fear, and what he felt at this time was helplessness.
Qin Tianjian did his homework, and Na Ji Yue couldn't wait to run over.
Tomorrow night, the sky is cloudy, and the gods and ghosts are traveling. Qin Tianjian believes that Ming is the best fighting ghost, the celestial phenomenon is the flow of the five elements, although the gods and ghosts travel, the purple microstar is extremely bright, as long as there is the protection of the great immortals, the plague in this palace will naturally be eliminated.
In this regard, the imperial doctors of Renzong all closed their mouths, and at this time, as long as they talked casually, an inattentive head would move.
"I absolutely didn't say nonsense, Ming Yue is the best time to enter the palace, if you miss Ming Yue, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter the epidemic disaster area that is confined." Bao Qing said very seriously.
"Brother Bao, if you go in, what if you are also infected? Also, what if you can't get out if you go in? Cao Yun was a little worried, not only her, but all the women of Bao Qing surrounded Bao Qing, and they were ten thousand unwilling in their hearts.
Bao Liuwen even complained a little, who is Cao Qian? Why do you want to go in and help her, it doesn't matter if you help her, the key is to help with your surname?
Qin Yuxian took Bao Qing's hand and asked, "Brother Bao, have you decided?" It's decided, I'll go in with you. ”
"Don't say it, Yuxian is pregnant, and other people can't help if they go! I'll go for it! Zhan Fang hurriedly said.
Bao Qing glanced at Zhan Fang affectionately, but Cao Yun threw herself into Bao Qing's arms and cried, her man on one side and her sister on the other. These people dream every night that their sister is suffering inside.
"Just Fang'er will accompany me in! Don't worry, if it's really a plague, I also have a protective measure. After Bao Qing finished speaking, he asked Zhu Daniu to find something from the box on the side.
Thick protective cotton clothing, special masks, water bottles, white masks, gloves, torches, daggers, and a small crossbow with eight shots.
The crowd was dumbfounded,
"Everything has to be prepared now. In addition to these tools, my biggest concern is how to get in touch with the outside world once I enter the forbidden place in the palace. After Bao Qing finished speaking, he asked Zhu Daniu to take out another drawing. Everyone looked at it together, and it turned out to be a hand-drawn map of the palace, and Bao Qing had indeed put a lot of effort into it in the past few days.
"Chen Meiren's dormitory used to be called Xiulin Palace, and later His Majesty redecorated the dormitory for her and renamed it Beauty Palace. The name Xiulin Palace is very clear, because there is a dense bamboo forest on the east side of this dormitory. Judging from the picture, behind this dense bamboo forest is a nearly three-zhang high wall, outside the high wall is the periphery of the palace, and the periphery of the defense is not as tight as the palace inside, so it should be easier to blend in. ”
Bao Qing said while looking at Zhanzhao on the side: "I'm afraid this high wall depends on you." ”
Zhan Zhao nodded.
"Remember, when the time comes, find a withered yellow cloak, it is already winter, the bamboo in the bamboo forest has long been withered and yellow, there should be many fallen bamboo leaves on the ground, wearing a withered yellow cloak should help you hide."
Bao Qing took a sip of tea and continued: "This time, I went with Fang'er, and the news was all spread by Zhanzhao, so Zhanzhao must not make a mistake." Jin Wandao is responsible for answering, in case something goes wrong, Jin Wandao is on top. Dynasty Mahan, the dynasty wants to make sure that after receiving the news, the news is sent back. Cao Yun, you stay at home, if there is any news, go and inform your father immediately. ”
"Do you want Daddy to prepare the soldiers and horses?" Cao Yun asked.
Bao Qing listened, and almost squirted out a sip of tea: "Yun'er, are you going to rebel against us?" ”
"If it really doesn't work, I'll persuade my dad to rob people, hum!" Cao Yun gritted her teeth and said.
"What if, I said, what if it is discovered, and Big Brother Bao can't come out?" Bao Liuwen interjected.
Qin Yuxian hurriedly snorted twice and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Brother Bao, think about the child in my belly." ”
On the second night, the great immortal that Renzong had hoped for appeared.
"Bao Qing, the old man has taken care of everything. Everything is please. This is what Bao Qing said before leaving.
In Bao Qing's opinion, the yellow-robed immortal who walked forward with small steps and seemed to be solemn all the way in front of him was a liar.
The yellow-robed immortal claimed to be a protector of the Taoist, a disciple of Zhang Tianshi of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and a messenger appointed by Zhang Tianshi to preach down the mountain. This happened to be found by the eleventh prince, so he recommended it to Renzong.
The Guardian Daoist was praised by the Eleventh Prince, and Renzong was reminded by this group of clan relatives in the early dynasty, thinking of sending someone to Longhu Mountain to invite Zhang Tianshi to come to the plague, but he was a little worried about whether the time was in time, and at this time, he happened to be found by the Eleventh Prince, and he was unconsciously a little comforted in his heart.
Fortunately, this emperor was also fooled! Otherwise, without this protector, it will be difficult for him to pretend to be a helper.
Because the Guardian Daoist has a large number of magic weapons to be brought in, he needs a lot of helpers to help. But since the plague in the palace has spread, everyone cherishes their little lives very much, and no one wants to go. None of these palace guards who were forced to come to help because of the failure of the lot draw did not feel sorry for themselves and looked depressed.
Bao Qing is different, thinking about it in his heart, and occasionally takes a look at Zhan Fang, who is pushing a cart with him and dressing up as a man. The cart was loaded with a large box large enough for one person to fit in. Bao Qing and Zhanfang pushed hard, and the wheels of the car creaked and creaked, showing people the weight of the boxes on it.
And behind him, there is an incredible magic weapon, a wooden black unicorn statue, two people high, the base is pulled by two carriages, four horses, and there are several people pushing and supporting it. If you shine with a lantern, it's really scary.
The entire process of the plague in the palace is divided into two steps, the first step is to protect the Taoist into the deepest part of the plague area, that is, the beauty palace where Chen Meiren lived before to hunt ghosts and demons, and the second step is to pray for the blessings of Renzong.
Finally arrived at the epidemic area, Bao Qing obviously felt the strengthening of the defense force, the soldiers were all armed with torches, and each face was covered with a white scarf, it should be the imperial doctors who asked them to do this. And many soldiers with bows and arrows pointed at the plagued areas inside.
If you look closely, there are more than a dozen corpses lying dozens of paces away, which should have been killed by the bows and arrows of the soldiers, probably because they were afraid that the people inside would approach, so they were all shot to death before they got closer.
"Didn't the boss say that? It depends on the great immortal supernatural powers, otherwise they will set fire to the palace tomorrow! Hold on a little more, big guy! A lieutenant said.
Bao Qing was shocked when he heard this, but then shook his head helplessly. The best way to deal with a disease is to burn it.
When the helpers who came in with the Guardian Daoist arrived, they hurriedly took out their white face towels and covered their faces. And the Taoist protector asked people to leave the big black unicorn statue, and then asked Bao Qing and his helpers to push the cart containing the box and follow him in.
One thing I have to admire this protector, I don't even need a face towel, I waved the dust lightly with my hand, pinched a flower print, and took the lead to walk forward.
Looking at it all the way, it still looks like a palace, as if it is really a ghost and a ghost, and the living are hidden. Although there is starlight in the sky, but still can't stop the sky from getting darker, scattered on both sides of the road I don't know whether it is some dead branches and leaves, or some clothes and sundries, I haven't walked a few steps, I found a corpse of a palace maid with a cloak scattered, with a lantern, keep you scared to retreat, probably because of the cold weather, the corpse did not appear to decompose, the desperate expression of the palace maid before death was vividly revealed in front of Bao Qing.
When the accompanying helpers saw this scene, they couldn't help but be stunned and looked at each other.
"How many people are alive in here?" Someone asked in a low voice.
As soon as these words fell, a palace maid with a disheveled hair rushed out of the house in front of her, and she didn't know what to shout.
Before the palace maid could get closer, she was directly shot to death by the two guards next to the Taoist protector.
"After the first two halls, it is the Beauty Palace. Let's speed up, and when the time comes, we will wait quietly outside, and Daxian will bring two helpers into the palace. After an hour, Daisen will come out unscathed. Don't be nervous, with the protection of the Great Immortal, you will be fine. At this time, someone said.
When Bao Qing heard this, he knew that he only had one hour to find Cao Qian, and at the same time, he had to guard against the damned plague.
All the people stopped in front of the Beauty Palace, and the Guardian Daoist took out a talisman and lit it, and then made a few circles in front of everyone. After doing this, he walked straight to the Beauty Palace, and the two guards behind him also followed into the Beauty Palace with the box containing the magic weapon.
Bao Qing carefully observed the surroundings, and there was a corpse of a palace maid on the side of the gate of the Beauty Palace, but this corpse was a little strange. Although Bao Qing didn't dare to walk over directly to take a closer look, from a distance, the palace maid's hair was pitiful.
"Brother Bao, we have to hurry! Otherwise, it's too late. Zhanfang reminded.
Bao Qing thought for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Ah, I want to go to the thatched house, my stomach hurts." ”
As soon as Bao Qing's words came out, the other helpers standing on the side hurriedly retreated three feet in fright.
"Don't be nervous, with the protection of the great immortal just now, you won't be infected with the plague. You can really pick the time and go by yourself, but don't say I didn't remind you, be careful of those sick palace maids, they are very likely to kill you. "It was one of the guards who protected the Taoist.
"I'm going to the hut too!" Zhanfang also happened to borrow this reason.
"Go, quick! Don't be too late! ”
Bao Qing and Zhanfang hurriedly retreated.
"It should be here, I specifically asked the little palace maid who escaped to report the news in advance." After Bao Qing finished speaking, he took out a short torch from under his thick robe.
"Okay, let's go in!"
