Chapter 233: Encountering Old Acquaintances in a Foreign Country
Entering the city, Yuan Ming found that the situation inside was even more severe than he imagined, the streets and alleys were full of dead bodies, some of which had rotted and stinked. Along the way, I met two medical centers and a government office, which were also full of corpses, which were miserable, and there were more dead than living people in the city. Yuan Ming brought the medicine to get rid of the plague, and originally wanted to put it into the well water, and then let the people in the town drink water to get rid of the disease, but at the moment, this situation is naturally impossible.
With his own strength, it is impossible to feed the medicine and treat them one by one. So Yuan Ming found a house, and after cleaning up the corpses inside, he took out the incense-making materials he had purchased earlier and began to get busy. By the evening, he had already made several pale yellow Xinkan. The basic materials for these are still the set of making fog incense, but some medicinal powder to dispel the plague is added to it, and some special refining techniques written in the secret book of spiritual incense are made.
After the production of the anti-epidemic incense was completed, Yuan Ming took the incense to a clearing in the center of Hekou Town, and pointed to the center of his eyebrows. Four soul crows flew out separately, three of them fell on the three corpses that had just died around them, and the remaining one flew high above his head to guard his surroundings. After the three corpses were submerged by the soul crow, two dim green lights lit up in their eyes, and they staggered up and walked in front of Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming gave each of them a plague-removing incense and asked them to carry it in three directions to the town, while he held the stealing Tianding and inserted the anti-plague incense and sat in the center. When the four corpses arrived in the right place, Yuan Ming controlled them and lit the incense stick with himself. After the incense was lit, it only took a few moments for large clouds of yellow smoke to rise from all over the estuary, and it didn't take long for the billowing smoke to engulf the entire town. In the thick smoke, the people who were already dying thought that they had died in the Yellow Spring and arrived in the netherworld.
It's just that with their current physical condition, they can't avoid it, so they simply ignore it. But after inhaling the smoke, they all felt refreshed, without the previous depressed state, and for a while I didn't know whether I was returning to the light before I died, or if I was really good.
After a long time, when the smoke gradually cleared, and the people who were still alive in the city had been completely eliminated, when they saw their surroundings again and found that they were still in the town, they wept with joy, and then the cry resounded throughout the town.
Yuan Ming had already put away the Heaven Stealing Ding at this moment, and the four soul crows had all flown back into his body. After being promoted to Zhuji, his soul power has increased greatly, and now even if all six soul crows are released, the consumption of his soul power is no longer too much of a burden. Yuan Ming returned to normal after a little pranayama. When he opened his eyes, he saw that some people who had recovered had gathered around him one after another.
These people are still very weak, and some need to support each other to barely stand. But when they heard a child who saw the whole process of Yuan Ming's spell casting, and said that the life-saving benefactor was here, they all gathered over. "Kneel down and thank the Immortal Master for saving his life." I don't know who it was, but I was the first to call out, and someone immediately responded. Immediately afterwards, the crowd shouted "Kneel and thank the immortal master for saving his life", and then some people knelt down one after another and bowed to Yuan Ming.
You have just recovered from the epidemic, and your body is still weak, don't bother to bow down here, go back to eat and recuperate, and then properly dispose of the corpses of your loved ones, go back. Yuan Ming shouted without relatives. However, there were still survivors around, approaching this side and bowing down to Shane.
Yuan Ming knew that the persuasion would not move, so he raised his hand and patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, released the Qingyun Crane, and then stepped on the figure and drove the crane into the air. "It's an immortal, it's really an immortal," thanked the immortal master for saving his life. We were saved, and the people in the open space of the town became more and more agitated. Seeing this, Yuan Ming had to leave first. Seeing Yuan Ming leave, the people who walked in the ghost gate got up one after another.
An elder of the clan, who was originally quite prestigious, suddenly spoke up and said to everyone, "The immortal did not ask for anything in return, and left after giving grace. We are not ungrateful, we should set up a shrine for the immortals and sacrifice incense. "Yes, you have to set up an ancestral hall for the immortal master! Cast a monument and pass it on! Someone immediately responded. "Lu Xiucai, are you still alive?" The clan elder took a breath and shouted. "Uncle, I'm alive, I'm still alive." A scholar in the crowd immediately responded. "Do you see the appearance of the immortal master? When we go back to paint the statue, let's refer to the statue of the god. The clan elder shouted.
When Lu Xiucai heard this, he didn't feel that he had made a mistake, the immortal master was wearing a hat, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could only respond first. In later generations, Hekou Town will have a shrine called "Epidemic Elimination Temple", in which there is a statue wearing a hat and standing on the crane, although it has not been sealed by the government, but it has been full of incense, and many people even come from thousands of miles away, and they have not left for a hundred years. This is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being, just say that after Yuan Ming went through this short episode, he flew away from Hekou Town in Qingyunhe and continued to travel north.
Along the way, he studied the secret book of spiritual incense, and found that there were a lot of spiritual incense that cured diseases and saved people's health, most of which were weak for immortal cultivators, but they were rare elixirs for ordinary people. In addition, the materials used are very ordinary, Yuan Ming has also refined some in addition to practicing, making his incense refining skills more and more proficient, and the people who encounter hardship and illness along the way are also easy to see and treat, but they are also at ease.
In this way, Yuan Ming finally came to the city in the northeast of Yue near the East China Sea, Haiyan City. When they were separated in Black Rock City, Ulu said that he would come here to recuperate for a while, and invited Yuan Ming to join him.
It's just that Yuan Ming was bent on returning to Dajin at that time, and there were other arrangements, so he didn't agree. Now that he has arrived in Haiyan City, he wants to see Bird Lu again, and it just so happens that he still has something to ask for. Haiyan City, is the entrance of a river called Haihe River in Yue country, take the meaning of Heqing Haiyan for the city name, in addition to the most famous waves and waves crashing the cliff scene, there is the river and sea tide on August 15 every year.
The time is not right, and you can't see the magnificent tide. However, Yuan Ming is naturally not here, and he can see Ulu. After entering Haiyan City, Yuan Ming found that not to mention the scale of the city, the prosperity of the city alone was no worse than that of the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty.
In the city, there are branches of the Haihe River passing through the city, and the water system is abundant, and it is distributed in a network in the city, forming a unique landscape of street buildings distributed along the river. The folk customs and even architectural style of the southern part of the country are still similar to those of southern Xinjiang, and there are still some traces in the central part of the country.
When Yuan Ming entered the city, he did not immediately go to Ulu, but first found a hook fence, drank tea and listened to music, and relaxed. In the past, when he was in the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, he often went to the Hook Column to listen to the music, and occasionally wrote his own lyrics and composed music, but the number was not as much as the album.
In the afternoon, Yuan Ming took a beautiful bath in the inn and changed into new clothes, then he went out and went to the famous Wanghai Cliff in the east of the city. Regarding Ulu's whereabouts, Yuan Ming had already found out by stealing the Tianding possession before he came to Haiyan City.
He lives on the edge of the Wanghai Cliff, a cliff inn facing the East China Sea, where there is the best view of the entire Haiyan City to watch the sea tide, and he can condescend to see the spectacular scenery of the waves crashing against the cliff and rolling up a thousand waves. When Yuan Ming found Ulu, the latter was sitting on the second floor of the restaurant of the Guanhailou Inn, a window position facing the sea, ordering a few side dishes, pouring himself a drink, obviously having a very comfortable time.
When he saw Yuan Ming sitting on the opposite side, Ulu was obviously stunned, obviously a little incredulous. "Brother Ulu, don't come unharmed." Yuan Ming said with a smile. "Brother Yuan, it's really you! What a coincidence!" Ulu was stunned for a moment with his wine glass, and infinite joy suddenly rose in his heart.
This joy of "reunion after a long absence", superimposed with the surprise of "meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country", made him have some unreal illusions when he saw Yuan Ming. And the reason why he has such a big mood swing is actually not entirely the effect of these two emotions.
In fact, as early as when Yuan Ming decided to leave to find Ulu, he had already used the Stealing Heaven Ding incense to possess him three times in a row, and every time he possessed him, Yuan Ming relied on the power of black incense to constantly hint that Ulu regarded him as a confidant in his life. So much so that Ulu once felt that he had a mental problem, and he would always think of Yuan Ming inexplicably.
It's just that the black incense made with Xuanhuaguan incense ash, for some reason, has a much weaker effect on psychological suggestion than the incense ash obtained from Liu Xinzong before, but Liu Xinzong's incense ash is too little, and it has already been used up before.
"How did you get here?" Uru asked, surprised. "I returned north to the Great Jin Dynasty, and there was an accident on the way, so I temporarily changed the route and made a detour to Yueguo
And OK. Since I know that Brother Ulu is here, how can I not come together?" Yuan Ming said with a smile. "And how do you know I'm eating here?" Uru said.
"I also happened to see that the scenery here is good, but I didn't expect to really meet you." Yuan Ming said. "What's going on in your way?" Uru frowned. I met the old debtors near Tiehu Town, and I just happened to collect some interest on their debts. Yuan Ming nodded and said. Ulu looked at Yuan Ming carefully, his pupils contracted for a while, and he was surprised, "Brother Yuan, you have already built a foundation."
