Diao Chan and Cai Wenji quietly watched Seventeen's body, which slowly turned into ashes in the raging fire.

When they came, the three of them supported each other, but when they went back, there were only two of them.

Diao Chan cursed the terrible plague with hatred in his heart!

Emperor Ling put away Seventeen's ashes, packed them in a ceramic jar, and placed them on the carriage. This is to bring her back and bury her in Seventeen's hometown.

"Plague! I must think to eliminate you! The Spirit Emperor said bitterly in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I heard them in the room with Seventeen that a corpse was found on the edge of the road that had been shaken out by the earthquake, covered with green hair." Cai Wenji said in a deep voice.

"So, we need to find this corpse and burn it as soon as possible to eliminate the source of the plague."

Emperor Ling sighed heavily and said, "Let's leave for the palace, let's find that strange corpse and burn it on the way!" ”

More than 200 people put on their masks and walked along the repaired road, and when they were about to reach the town, a tattered coffin board was lifted next to a small mound in the distance.

A corpse that had turned black in the sun curled up on the coffin board.

"This is it!" Cai Wenji exclaimed.

Diao Chan covered his mask, but he didn't dare to look at it again.

They gathered several large bundles of dead branches from the mountain, set them up, wrapped their hands in cloth, carried the coffin board and the corpse to the dry wood, lit a fire, and burned it all.

In the afternoon, the group arrived in the town.

At this time, there was no one in the town.

Diao Chan ran to the inn where they had stayed, banged on the door vigorously, and shouted, "Shop, shop!" ”

No one responded!

Where have all the people gone?

Diao Chan remembered that he was here, and he used his charm to charm that Li Dashao, and successfully forced them back, but now, where have they gone?

Emperor Ling looked carefully, there were no corpses left behind after the plague around, and each family did not take their property away, it didn't look like they were fleeing from the plague!

Everyone found the largest farmer in the town, Li Dashao's home.

The house was neatly organized, rice, flour, firewood, oil, etc., were all placed there, and there was no figure to be seen, and the people in the whole town disappeared inexplicably.

Everyone was a little panicked, why did they all suddenly disappear into the town?

Will the more than 200 of them disappear as well?

Everyone became more and more nervous, and in the evening, the sun became darker and darker, and the night was about to come, devouring the sunshine of the town step by step.

Suddenly, Diao Chan screamed, grabbed the Spirit Emperor's hand, and screamed: "Your Majesty! Look, what's that? ”

In the northwest corner, thick smoke and dust drifted across half of the sky.

Where there's smoke, there must be people!

"Let's go, let's go and see!" More than 200 people held weapons and walked slowly to the northwest corner.

"Ahh Diao Chan tightly grabbed the corner of the Spirit Emperor's clothes, trembling uncontrollably.

In the distance, bundles of dry firewood are piled up into a mountain, and on top of the dry firewood are dead corpses!

There were only a few dozen people around, and everyone was silent, silent, piling the corpses on dry firewood!

"Ignition! Hurry up and ignite! A somewhat familiar figure stood there, shouting loudly.

A dozen torches lit the dry wood under the pile of corpses, and in a short time, the flames burned the faces of everyone on the side.

For the arrival of the Spirit Emperor, these people were as calm as water, without a trace of waves.

Just silently looking at the burning corpse.

"It's the plague! The plague has swept through the town! Few have escaped its clutches! Cai Wenji lost her voice.

And the slightly familiar figure turned his head, and he saw the Spirit Emperor standing out from the crowd at a glance.

He immediately ran over and kowtowed a few times: "The grass people meet the emperor!" ”

Everyone turned their heads in surprise and looked at this handsome young man who was too young to speak.

They all fell to their knees together, and the low mountain shouted long live.

"Get up!" Emperor Ling said.

"Zhongjing, why are you still here?" Emperor Ling took Zhang Zhongjing's hand and said.

"Back to the emperor, not long after the grass people left, there was an earthquake, and they arrived in this town the next day." Zhang Zhongjing replied to Emperor Ling's words, and slowly told Emperor Ling everything that had happened in the past few days.

After the earthquake, Zhang Zhongjing was completely convinced of Emperor Ling.

The expected earthquake came in a hurry, cracks everywhere, rocks cracked everywhere!

Then, the plague mentioned by the emperor will definitely come out with the earthquake!

Zhang Zhongjing immediately took out a mask and put it on, and slowly walked towards the town!

By the time I walked to the town, it was already the morning of the next day, and some of the people in the town were wearing masks, and some didn't care about the masks at all.

Can such a rag stop the plague? Who believes?

Zhang Zhongjing went to live in the only inn in the town, there are many people here, and he must need Lang Zhong, who understands medicine, he can't leave now!

"You know what?" Zhang Zhongjing was sitting in the room when he suddenly heard a voice from outside the window: "A few more people died this morning." It's just a few people who touched that corpse yesterday! ”

"Retribution! I heard that Li Dashao's people also died a lot! ”

"That Li Da Shao encountered a strange thing this morning, more than a dozen bodyguards protected three beautiful women, Li Da Shao wanted to take those women for himself, but he didn't expect that the most beautiful woman among them used immortal methods."

"What immortal law?"

"The beautiful woman stood in front of Li Dashao, and she didn't see what she did, Li Dashao was confused by the woman all of a sudden, whatever the woman said, Li Dashao did anything!"

"Haha, that's funny, what about later?" One of them asked.

"Later? Li Dashao let those people go, and when he returned home, he broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to come out at home at that time. At the same time, all the people in the town were ordered to wear masks, otherwise, it would be difficult to save their lives! ”

"So you're still wearing a mask?" The man asked.

"Yes, so I wear ..... Ah—" The man had not finished speaking, but he exclaimed loudly.

Zhang Zhongjing looked out, and the person who was not wearing a mask actually had bright red blood flowing out of his mouth, nose, and eyes, and fell to the ground with a "bang", not moving.

"Plague!" Zhang Zhongjing shouted in his heart!

The emperor's words are too smart, after the earthquake, there was a plague, I didn't expect the plague to arrive so soon!

Zhang Zhongjing put on his mask, with a turban wrapped around his head, rushed out of the inn, and shouted: "Listen to the people in the town, I'm Langzhong, the plague is coming!" Everyone must wear a mask! Otherwise, the plague won't let you go! ”

Suddenly, several servants appeared in the town, shouting, "Who is spreading rumors that a plague is coming?" ”

Zhang Zhongjing didn't care much, hurriedly came over, took the hand of the errand and said, "Didn't you read the emperor's pamphlet?" After the earthquake, there must be a plague! ”

Suddenly, Zhang Zhongjing found that these servants were not wearing masks, so he exclaimed: "You are the officials of the government, and you don't even listen to the emperor, and you don't even wear masks!" ”

"Hahaha, a rag, what is the effect, can stop the evil spirit of the plague! If I get the plague, I will definitely arrest you and beat you up! ”

An officer said.

There were already a lot of people around on the side, among them, the people of Li Dashao's family, who were only submissive, all wore their masks well and didn't dare to take them off, for fear of being discovered by Li Dashao and being beaten by the board.

"Master Officer, just follow what the emperor's pamphlet says, wear a mask, even if you can't prevent the plague, it's good to listen to the emperor."

"I-" An errand officer spat out a mouthful of phlegm and scolded in his mouth: "The emperor has a lot of money and has nowhere to spend it, and it is not convenient for us to get this thing, I bah-"

As he spoke, the officer spat out a few more mouthfuls of phlegm.

Suddenly, the group of people wearing masks suddenly dispersed and ran away.

The officers shouted, "You have no conscience, before the old man has finished speaking, the special ones have run away!" ”

Zhang Zhongjing saw that the phlegm spit out by several servants was actually red, and when he looked closely, blood was pouring out of his ears, mouth, and nose.
