Chapter 59: Rust Disease
"Come, sit down and talk. Let me ask you, Ling Tang and Ling Mei, but they are still living in their hometown of Nanfu County? ”
Zhang Xu looked at Chen Acong, who was standing in the room in a panic and sweating, with an unbearable look on his face, and pointed to the bench on one side and asked him to sit down and talk.
"It's good for the little ones to dare and for the little ones to stand, and the little ones often lose their money, but it's the first time that they have disappeared in such a short period of time as today......
"Dao Chang Mingjian! The missing silver is indeed not stolen by a small one......"
Chen Acong was stunned, just now in front of the boy and girl, he rummaged through the hidden bags and belts several times, but never saw the one or two rewards, he was so anxious that he couldn't listen to Zhang Xu's question at all, so he only politely refused the latter's invitation to sit at the beginning.
When such a strange thing happens, you can't get rid of the relationship yourself, and you will generally be treated as theft.
According to the law of Dali, stealing is a real felony, as long as the crime of stealing is confirmed, not only will the big toe of the right foot be cut off by the official, but the word "theft" will be tattooed on the arm.
If this is the case, in the future, even the restaurant will not be able to do it, and the restaurant will not want to commit crimes.
Then I had to do some heavy work, not only was I tired, but I also had less money a month than I have now.
How can I cure the illness of Ah Niang and my little sister......
Thinking of this, Chen Acong was almost desperate, trembling and groping out a piece of jade pendant in acceptable condition from his arms, and reluctantly caressed it a few times before offering the jade pendant to Zhang Xu, begging like this:
"Two Dao Chiefs, this small jade pendant...... It can also be worth a tael of silver. Pray that the Taoist don't take me to court! ”
"Don't panic," Xiao Nizi stretched out her sword finger and injected a gentle wind attribute qi into Xiao Yaoyao, "The one or two rewards that you lost have nothing to do with you." ”
"Yes, put away the jade pendant," Zhang Xu was immediately relieved, "The silver that rewarded you is yours, and it doesn't matter if you lose it, how can it be regarded as you stolen?" ”
As the qi emitted by Le Xun entered his body, Chen Acong's sluggish spirit was lifted, his body was indescribably comfortable, and his mood calmed down a little.
He was blessed to the heart, and probably guessed that it was one of the two masters who helped him.
Hearing that the young man really didn't mean to blame him, this was undoubtedly equivalent to exonerating himself, Chen Acong was even more overjoyed, and his attitude towards the two in front of him was even higher, and he immediately bowed to the two immortal masters:
"Little one, thank you two immortal masters!"
If he and Xiao Nizi had been standing, I was afraid that Chen Acong would not dare to sit down at all.
"I may have a way to help you solve this dilemma," Zhang Xu motioned for the girl to follow him to the Taishi chair after he sat down, "But I need to ask you something about Nanfu County, and please sit down and talk about it in detail." ”
"Well said, well said!" Chen Ah Cong stood up from the ground and saw the two of them patting off the dust that might be stained on their buttocks, so he cautiously sat on the bench, bowed down and said, "Immortal Master, please ask." ”
The young man asked solemnly:
"What is the illness of Ling Tang and Ling Mei?"
Chen Acong sorted out the words he wanted to reply, sighed and said:
"Master Hui Immortal, we call it 'rust disease'......
"When a woman is sick, her joints will gradually become unable to move, her limbs and neck will be stiff as iron, she will not be able to eat, and she will develop a rash similar to rust on her body...... The older you get, the more severe the disease becomes.
"However, a sick woman can still live without eating, as long as metal utensils are placed close to the patient, the patient can absorb the essence of gold and stone, consume metal utensils, and survive.
"Among them, gold has the best effect, one or two gold, can make the patient go without drinking or eating for a year; Silver is second, and one or two silver can make the patient live for another half a year; Copper and iron are the second, and one or two copper or iron can only last for half a month......"
Zhang Xu and Le Xun looked at each other, and both nodded their heads in confirmation.
Although the name of the disease is not mentioned in the foreign affairs file, this description is quite close to that in the file, and it is undoubtedly the external affairs to be solved this time.
"To tell you the truth, the two of us came this time to start dealing with this strange disease in Nanfu County. Can this disease start to appear in Yitai County and gradually spread to your Chu County? ”
The girl intends to get more information from Chen Ah Cong's mouth, which will help deal with this demon removal business.
"Exactly, exactly!" The little servant Chen Acong's expression became happy, "It turns out that the two immortal masters are here to eradicate the disease!" The Dao deeds of the two Immortal Masters are so high, they will definitely be able to save our Nanfu County! ”
Chen Acong was so excited that he was emotional, but when he saw the male immortal master, he shook his head indifferently:
"We don't know the details yet, and we can't say for sure. If you know more, let us know. ”
Chen Ah Cong nodded like pounding garlic, and told everything he knew:
"Since the beginning of last year, when the 'rust disease' began to spread, many Langzhong have gone to Yitai County to save people, but the effect is very little; later, there are also Taoist temples and temples in the vicinity of the Taoist and master to do Luo Tian Dajiao, but unfortunately it is still ineffective.
"Then, my aunt suddenly had a stroke and couldn't walk, so I had to go to this Ningtong City, planning to earn some money and bring my family to the city for treatment, but I didn't expect that the 'rust disease' suddenly spread, and many people in Chu County began to get sick.
"My little sister then wrote to me, saying that she and my aunt both suffered from this disease, and said some terrible symptoms, but relying on the metal utensils stored at home, I can still survive, and told me not to go back, and the man will definitely die when he goes back to Chu County......
"I couldn't let go of it, so I still planned to sneak back home, and on the way, I saw a few women who had escaped from Chu County, they all had abnormalities, and told me something...... When I told me about the symptoms of the man's disease, I was horrified and had to go back the way I came. ”
"What are the symptoms of this disease in men?"
Seeing that Chen Acong's face was extremely bad, Zhang Xu raised his hand vaguely, injected him with a qi machine, and asked again.
“……”
Chen Acong was supported by the qi machine, and his mind was clear for a while, and he clearly remembered the description of the woman he met on the way back to his hometown, but he was silent for a few breaths, and finally replied tremblingly:
"It's going to turn into a figurine, Michijo."
"Figurines?"
Le Xun frowned, and a terrible conjecture suddenly appeared in his heart.
Chen Acong swallowed his saliva and nodded creepyly:
"Yes, a living person, starting from somewhere in the body, gives birth to a thin layer of gold and stone, gold, silver, copper, and iron, and the whole process is unbearable, and there is no cure......
"Once that layer of gold and stone grows on the face, the seven orifices are blocked, and the person will be suffocated to death until he dies, and he will maintain a terrifying look with his mouth open and unable to breathe......
"It became a figurine."
