Although a few days have passed, the entire county is still shrouded in gloom.

In just half a day, tens of thousands of innocent people died, and the number of minor and seriously injured was even greater, and even more than 1,000 officers and soldiers defending the city, as well as the entire county government, suffered heavy casualties, and only a dozen or so people survived.

In the past few days, even though Liu Hongsheng came forward to dispatch and let the large and small gangs in the city cooperate, driving the surviving people to collect the bodies of the dead and distribute the materials in the city, it still had little effect.

A county town that used to be vibrant, now it can be said that the city is full of dead air, and it is no longer prosperous in recent years, and pedestrians no longer speak when they walk on the street.

During this period, many mountain and wild cultivators came to inquire about it, and wanted to take the opportunity to make a profit, and the means they used were naturally not to help the people in distress, but to look at the wealthy merchants in the city.

Fortunately, with Xu Lin, the sword wielder of the Mingjian Division, in charge, coupled with the Three Knife Society, which was seriously injured but still retained part of its combat power, after killing several waves of Ye Xiu in public, the situation did not worsen.

At around noon on the seventh day, the support of nearby counties and villages and towns was belatedly arrived with some manpower.

Although there are only two or three hundred people in total, they also have official status, and many things are convenient to do, which finally makes Qianyu City temporarily operational.

However, because all the bodies of the dead had not been collected for many days, and because of the grief and grievances in the city, the whole sky had not seen bright sunlight for several days, and was obscured by a layer of gray clouds.

"Why hasn't the county sent men for a long time?"

In the Xuantian Temple, Ji Yuan, who had finished his retreat, was sitting in the small courtyard at this time, looking at the few people around him with a puzzled expression.

Zhao Yuansong laughed helplessly at this, the reason for which was not known for a while, some things were far from being as simple as they appeared on the surface.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan suddenly understood, and couldn't help but smile a little bitterly on his face.

It seems that it should be in the county town, and some people want to do something through this matter, maybe they want to get some benefits from it, or they want to take the opportunity to remove people who don't like it.

Otherwise, even if the county seat is thousands of miles away from Qianyu City, there should be a group of people to arrive, and at the worst case, it is necessary to summon the garrison hundreds of miles away and send soldiers here to maintain order.

"At this time, the county seat is still closed, and outsiders are not allowed to enter for the time being, and only the people in the city are allowed to go out to bury the corpses."

Zhao Yuansong sighed.

In fact, not only are outsiders not allowed to enter, but also people in the city are not allowed to leave, lest the news of this place be completely transmitted and attract more ill-intentioned people.

In just a few days, there have been more than a dozen first-realm field cultivators who have been killed in plain sight, and this is because of their efforts, otherwise the situation will be even more unbearable.

"Now that the corpses in the city have decomposed, if we continue to leave it alone, I am afraid that a plague will soon sweep through the whole city, or even hundreds of miles in radius."

Jiang He held his face with both hands, although he couldn't see his expression clearly, he could also hear the worry in his tone.

As soon as he mentioned this, Xu Qiqi said with anger: "Many doctors and doctors in the city have closed their doors, and even most of the pharmacies no longer sell medicinal materials, obviously wanting to wait for the plague to run rampant, or when the situation is more serious, to make a lot of money!" ”

If it weren't for her senior brother to stop her, she really wanted to knock on the door one by one and beat this group of people whose conscience had been eaten by dogs to the ground.

If you want to make this kind of windfall, you are not afraid that the yin virtue accumulated by your ancestors will be wasted, and then you will have bad luck with your children and grandchildren?

However, for this kind of thing, although they can criticize and shout, they can't change anything, and their personal strength is somewhat powerless in the face of this great disaster.

"If it really doesn't work, we will pay our own money, buy those medicinal herbs, and then give them to those who need them!"

Xu Qiqi stood up and said with a proud face.

It's just that Ji Yuan and Zhao Yuansong obviously don't agree with this, and the latter even glared at him fiercely, his own whimsical junior sister.

Even Guo Tao, who was squatting aside and eating jerky, couldn't help but shake his head a few times.

Not to mention that the purchase of medicinal herbs at this time must cost several times more than usual, and this kind of behavior alone is not only thankless, but even (this chapter is not finished!). )

Chapter 102: Mingxin Xuan is coming

It can lead to even worse outcomes.

"Why don't you see Huixin?"

Ji Yuan reacted suddenly, it seems that from the time he left the customs to the present, he has not seen the monk who is missing a tendon.

Although when he saw the other party now, he was angry in his heart, but with the current situation in the city, he was full of worry when he couldn't see it.

"In the past few days, he has been walking in the city, using the Dharma to overtake the unjust souls of death, using his own cultivation to purify the place where resentment gathers, and only then will he return to the Taoist temple to meditate and pranayama in the middle of the night."

Zhao Yuansong sighed, and also persuaded Huixin not to be like this, just do your best.

But the other party just shook his head, still doing these things silently, and even relied on his own medical skills to treat the injured people as much as possible.

However, in the absence of medicinal materials, this kind of healing effect is not great, and it only temporarily stabilizes some injuries.

Hearing this, Ji Yuandang understood that Huixin was taking all the sins caused by his master, that is, Master Wuhai, on his body, hoping to accumulate some yin virtue for him in this way.

"Let's prepare, if there is no movement in the county town, maybe it won't be long before Liu Hongsheng will have to visit."

He thought about it for a while, and didn't comment on Huixin's actions, but said solemnly to a few people.

In the past few days, only a few thousand corpses have been collected in the city, and more than 30,000 corpses cannot be taken care of.

If this continues, I am afraid that within a day or two, there will be a large-scale smashing incident, and hundreds of people will begin to rob the goods in the shops under various negative emotions.

In fact, since the first day, there have been gangsters who usually do not do good things and specialize in bad things, and they have snatched some shops in remote areas scattered and scattered.

In addition, no matter what, there will definitely be more and more mountains and wild cultivators coming to interrogate, and relying on Xu Lin, a second-realm martial artist, and two or three first-realm martial artists, it will not be able to stop those with bad intentions at all.

Therefore, Liu Hongsheng, who is currently in charge of everything in the county seat, will inevitably visit him and invite them to help him and stabilize the situation before the imperial court comes.

After all, today's three factions of the family are already in name only, the Zhao family was slaughtered, and only a few nurses and Zhao Yuebai survived.

The Zhenshan faction and the Yuanshan Dart Bureau only have one or twenty people left, and almost all of them are seriously injured, and even taking care of themselves is a problem.

As for the Three Swords Society, although the loss of the sect is not too great, and it still retains a relatively complete scale, the fall of the two leaders and all the hall masters has also made it extremely lacking in masters.

Now that this is the case, the only place in the city that still has sufficient masters and combat power is this small Xuantian Temple.

So once the situation becomes more and more severe, the chief catcher will inevitably come here to seek help, otherwise let alone make some credit, once the court is held accountable, he can't afford to be guilty.

And in the next three days, the situation in the city was indeed as Ji Yuan expected, despite the suppression of hundreds of soldiers and fast catchers, plus the Three Swords Society and a large number of gangs, but the chaos still spread uncontrollably throughout the whole process.

The more than 100,000 surviving people can no longer withstand the panic in their hearts, and no matter how instigated by people with hearts, they have begun to appear on the streets in droves.

At first, they just smashed the shops and went crazy to grab food and supplies, and then in just two days, they turned into a forced break into the mansion of a wealthy merchant.

Most of these people did not come to rob gold, silver and other things, but simply to vent their despair and resentment, and only a few leaders filled bags of belongings in the chaos.

This kind of chaos came and went quickly, and under the suppression of the Three Swords Society and a large and small gang, there was no longer any benevolence, righteousness and morality, and they beat people when they saw them, it only took less than a day to calm down most of them.

On the twelfth day, as soon as the morning dawned, Ji Yuan had already walked out of the door and sat quietly in the courtyard.

It's just that he couldn't have imagined that the one who came here early in the morning was not Liu Hongsheng, the chief catcher, but Liu Ruyan, the shopkeeper of Ming Xinxuan, and a noble lady beside him. (This chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 102: Mingxin Xuan is coming

This noble lady sat gracefully in front of Ji Yuan, claiming to be the Mingxinxuan Association from the county town, but did not elaborate on her identity.

But from the temperament of the other party's gestures, as well as Liu Ruyan's respectful attitude on the side, he can more or less guess something.

"I heard that the Taoist chief led people to calm the chaos in the city, and he specially sent a heart to talk about a little admiration for the concubine."

The noble lady claimed to be surnamed Qian, and after saying a word, Liu Ruyan beside her held a wooden box and put it on the small wooden table that had just been moved out.

Ji Yuan's expression moved, although he had not opened the wooden box, he smelled a few wisps of danxiang, which should be a healing effect.

And from the danxiang, he judged more than a dozen kinds of precious medicinal materials, each of which was purchased separately, I am afraid that it would cost hundreds of taels of snowflake silver, and even this wooden box was worth at least thirty or forty taels of silver.

"Mrs. Qian is not here just to give gifts, right?"

He looked at the noble lady with a calm face, and neither said that he would accept the gift, nor did he refuse it on the spot.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qian smiled slightly, took out a delicate cloth bag from her sleeve, and put it next to the wooden box by Liu Ruyan.

"When I came here this time, I heard that the Dao Master is good at Dan Dao, and he is second to none within a radius of hundreds of miles,"

Her eyes flickered slightly, and then she said softly: "The concubine is here in the hope that she can ask the Taoist master to make alchemy." ”

Ji Yuan didn't reply immediately, his brows furrowed slightly, and he recognized this delicate cloth bag at a glance, which was the rumored mountain and river bag whose value was comparable to that of a magic weapon.

And judging from the aura circulating on it, I am afraid that the grade of this mountain and river bag is not low, and at least it should have a space the size of a courtyard.

If it was really as he had guessed, the value of just one mountain and river bag would be equivalent to tens of thousands of taels of silver, enough to buy three or four magic weapons.

"Now the people of the city, nine out of ten, were wounded in the disaster more than ten years ago, and these days there is a lack of medical care, and it is already miserable."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Mrs. Qian didn't care, and after a moment of silence, she continued: "And tens of thousands of corpses have not been disposed of in time, and at this moment, there has been an outbreak of plague calling, and by then, more than ninety percent of these injured people will die because of this. ”

This is not an exaggeration, almost all the people of Qianyu City are injured now, and these wounds have even festered and pus, once the plague breaks out, no one will be spared.

At that time, even though these people escaped the fate of being sacrificed by blood, they still could not escape the plague.

Ji Yuan is naturally clear about this, but he doesn't know why the lady in front of him suddenly mentioned this matter.

"The concubine wants to ask the Taoist chief to work harder, refine some healing pills as much as possible, and then Ming Xinxuan's men, together with the soldiers in the city, will distribute it to the suffering people in the city."

Mrs. Qian said softly: "This mountain and river bag can be regarded as the reward for the Dao Master's alchemy this time. ”

With a very high-grade mountain and river bag as a reward, this can no longer be described as wealthy, it is simply inhumane!

The point is that what the other party asks for is not even worth an ordinary mountain and river bag.

Because of this, a look of doubt suddenly appeared in Ji Yuan's eyes, and he didn't quite understand what this Mrs. Qian was thinking.

If the other party has too much money and really has no place to spend it, I am afraid that not many people believe that there can be more than anything in this world, but money is not too much.

Moreover, Ming Xinxuan pursues business principles, and it is impossible to do loss-making transactions, and there is no need to fight for a good reputation.

Prestige is something that I am afraid only needs by the imperial court, the rich squires, and some local sects.

"Poor Dao wants to know, what is Mrs. Qian's intention to do this?"

There was a moment of silence before he asked.

Hearing this, Mrs. Qian sighed faintly, as if she had expected this question, so she elaborated on the prepared words.

It turns out that although she is a businessman, she can practice as a side branch of Buddhism, and it is easy to practice diligently on weekdays, but when she is ready to break through the realm, she must accumulate enough merit.

Now Mrs. Qian has been trapped in the second realm for more than ten years, and the merits she has accumulated are only just over half, and she wants to succeed (this chapter is not over!). )

Chapter 102: Mingxin Xuan is coming

If you break the realm, it will take at least the same amount of time.

But now, for her, it is a once-in-a-century opportunity, to save tens of thousands of people in a city, plus some other matters, maybe it can save more than ten years of hardship.

"If that's the case, Mrs. Qian can bring Danshi from the county town, and with Ming Xinxuan's financial resources and influence, even if she invites four or five, it's not a problem."

Ji Yuan asked curiously, not understanding why the other party found him alone, and also paid him a mountain and river bag of amazing value.

This price is enough to hire more Dan masters.

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Qian's face suddenly straightened, and her eyes looked at him with deep meaning.
