The nobles of Kyoto did not realize that death was imminent, and they took advantage of the current time to create panic like crazy, and then took advantage of people's panic to sell food at high prices in order to harvest the wealth of the common people.

They nobles don't care whether you can survive or not, conscience, if you lose it, you can earn more.

On this side, Venerable Renhua also arranged the affairs of the temple after the chaos in Kyoto before coming to the neighborhood.

He watched the growing panic throughout the city, saw the repeated spikes in food prices, and saw countless civilians using their savings and even their wives and daughters as collateral in exchange for food because of the high food prices.

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

The people's ideas are very simple, they see the soaring price of food, they are afraid that the price of food will rise again, in order to "stop the loss in time", they have to buy high-priced grain under the coercion of panic.

Along the way, Venerable Lianhua has seen people selling their wives and daughters more than once. With that low price and pathetic background, he could only turn his head and silently recite 'Nama Myoho-renge-kyo' in his heart.

This was just the beginning, and Gen Renka was already able to imagine that if this situation was not resolved, by the time the Great Famine became a reality, the whole of Kyoto would become a living hell.

At that time, it was not about selling wives and daughters, but about all the men turning into robbers and all the women becoming changya, just to survive.

Venerable Lianhua looked at this group of people, and he felt the heaviness of the Zen staff and prayer beads in his hands, and the Dharma could not solve the current situation and save any people in the world.

However, the purpose of his trip was to understand the situation of the plague, the plague caused by the plague, and he decided to deal with the plague at its source. In that case, the situation in the city should be okay?

When he came to the quarantine area, he immediately saw the samurai stationed there, and was immediately blocked by the samurai.

"Monk, it's dangerous here, you better leave first. The calamity inside is infected, but it kills. The samurai drank.

"The little monk is here to solve the plague, your Excellency don't worry, the little monk has his own spiritual power." Master Lianhua showed out the spiritual pressure, and the warrior took a step back slightly.

"I'm sorry, this mage, but the head of the Fujiwara family has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."

After hearing that this was the samurai of the Fujiwara family, Master Renhua immediately took off his hat and said, "The little monk is Renhua, and he is acquainted with the head of the Fujiwara family and His Excellency Koizumi. Please, Your Excellency, let me in. ”

It was only after a brief confirmation that Venerable Lianhua came to the isolated neighborhood, and if there was a crazy world outside, there would be dead silence inside.

All the doors were closed and lifeless, and Venerable Lianhua found a house with an open door, and the people inside were dead, black, and some were dark green.

"It's a corpse scourge...... It seems to be man-made......" said Rinka, who led the samurai to Koizumi and learned that the source of the plague was the Hachiman River.

The people of this era did not know about diseases such as bacilli and gangrene, but they had their own set of means to understand the world, and summarized them into laws.

Gen Lianhua knew that this was an incurable disease, and even he could not do anything about it.

His footsteps did not stop, and he prepared to cross half of Kyoto directly to the Hachiman River to check the situation.

Since he can't save the world, he can deal with the source of this plague. In that way, we will be able to indirectly save the people of Kyoto.

He hurried towards the possible source, and all the surrounding street corners were filled with tragedy.

He didn't dare to look at it, and he didn't look at it.

It wasn't until he was almost hit by a nobleman's ox cart that he dodged the ox cart and was scolded by the coachman that the ox cart left the scene.

There was even some husked grain that was spilled on the ground from the bullock cart, causing people nearby to loot.

Master Lianhua pressed down the hat, ignored the coachman's insults, and prepared to leave.

"Taro, hey, Taro, open your eyes, Taro ......"

The old man's voice made Master Lianhua stop, and he pressed down his hat to look in the direction where the voice came from, and an old man could cry loudly beside a young man.

Master Lianhua was about to leave quickly, but the voice of crying and pleading continued to echo, and the old man pleaded with the people around him, but no one responded.

He looked back again, and all he saw was the countless cries of the lonely old man. I don't know if it was compassion or what, Master Lianhua walked quickly to the old man's side.

"Help me, this lord, Taro is still saved, and there is still ...... breathing" Seeing Master Lianhua coming, the old man knelt down and came over to plead.

Master Lianhua came directly to the boy who fell to the ground, looking at the whole collapsed chest, all the ribs turned into sharp blades and pierced his internal organs, Master Lianhua did not have any words.

He picked up the ox cart that had just passed by, and saw the ruts and hoof prints beside the boy.

"Mourning ...... Prayer Day," Venerable Lianhua said, clasping his hands together.

"No...... My lord...... Da Lang still has breathing...... He's alive...... He's still alive......" The old man crawled over on his knees and hugged Master Lianhua's legs.

There was a hustle and bustle all around, and there was a cry below him, and Venerable Lianhua looked blankly at the sky at this time, as if he was isolated from the world.

The boy was knocked down by a cow and is hopeless. Even when the gods came, they couldn't be saved.

Master Lianhua suddenly had self-doubts, even if he solved the source of the plague, even if he killed all the demons, even if the people in Kyoto were not short of food and drink, but such a Kyoto, can he live if he has food and drink?

Who is it that really weighs on the heads of the world...... Can the Buddha tell him to answer?

He didn't know.

……

Half a day later, Levi received information from the shadows.

More than half of the targets have been assassinated, and their families have been controlled.

Levi waved his hand as well, this time he didn't even bring a samurai, only a dozen ashigaru with spears.

The samurai were sent to cordon off the plague area, and the ninjas had to maintain intelligence and assassinations of middle and lower-ranking officials. If he wants to raid his house now, he must go out in person.

The Imagawa family in Kyoto, at this time, several ox carts were loaded with a large amount of wealth, and the head of the Imagawa family and everyone else were smiling from ear to ear.

There were even people rolling in the money brought back by the ox carts, laughing wildly.

In just a few days, the huge profits looted by the Imagawa family were worth the sum of several years, they were originally just a small and medium-sized family, and they only had control over dozens of acres of farmland and two towns, and they belonged to the kind of existence that could not be up or down.

But now, the Imagawa family feels that their family can work harder and gain more wealth, and then take advantage of the current vacancy to get more benefits and make the Imagawa family become a wealthy family.

"Dongdong, Dongdong!"

There was a violent knock at the door, which made the excited Imagawa family very puzzled.

"Open the door! Fujiwara family sends warmth! ”
