Chapter 159: You can only succeed, not fail
Jiang Cheng on the side straightened up slightly when he heard this, endured the pain and said:
"Although many people in the city have died due to the epidemic, there are still many people who have been gathered."
After a pause, he took a deep breath and continued, "It's better to gather in front of the city gate, where the open space is larger. ”
They were in the Rejuvenation Hall, and after Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he had already helped the guards to sit down, and they didn't dare to move again.
At a glance, inside and outside the Rejuvenation Hall, there were people lying and sitting on the spot everywhere, and this second type of epidemic came suddenly, and the pain was unbearable when they moved.
It's good that Jiang Cheng has a foundation in martial arts, and with the support of the guards, he can take a carriage from the city lord's mansion to get here.
But for ordinary people, when they feel pain all over their bodies, they can only relieve the pain by not moving, and they simply lie down and sit down on the ground.
Bai Lixi looked around, and finally fixed on Su Ruoyi and Su Jinzhou's faces.
His eyes were deep, and he turned his head to Mu Nanqi, who had been following him, and ordered, "You take people and do what they say." ”
Mu Nanqu raised his hand and clenched his fist: "Yes." ”
Soon, Mu Nanqi took Bai Lixi's personal guards and used horse-drawn carriages, flatbed trucks and various tools to transport the people to the open space in front of the city gate in batches and batches.
-
Su Lanjiu had already entered Hancheng to investigate, and it was determined that the people of the whole city had grown into a living Gu.
Her heart sank.
The person who placed this devouring spell really had a mind.
Under the cover of the epidemic in Hancheng, a little bit of a curse was made, so that the people of Hancheng could share the price.
If they had not cured the epidemic, the epidemic would have infected the whole city, and the people would have shared the cost and died of the epidemic.
When the time comes, everyone is dead, and who will be able to detect the anomaly of Hancheng?
Su Lanjiu couldn't help but think that they had encountered a big stone rolling down on the mountain road before.
At that time, the Yin people wanted to stop them from advancing, not because they were afraid that they would find the five-star beads, but because they were afraid that they would cure the epidemic and find abnormalities.
This Shifting Devouring Spell, she felt was different from the simple Shifting Devouring Spell that Concubine Xian had before.
The Shifting Spell of Hancheng also seemed to carry a familiar power.
If she didn't guess wrong, it should be Ling Yi's power, even if this spell was not laid by Ling Yi himself, I'm afraid it was also helped and instructed by him.
That means that if she breaks this spell and touches Ling Yi's power, it is likely that Ling Yi will discover and locate her existence.
But now that her strength has not fully recovered, it is not a wise move for Shang Ling Yi.
Su Lanjiu hesitated a little in his heart.
But if she doesn't break this curse, the people of Hancheng will suffer pain that they shouldn't have to bear, and it is even possible that they will not be able to bear the pain and die and hang themselves in the end.
Although she has no friendship with these people, and in her eyes, these people are too weak.
Reason told her that the people had nothing to do with her like this, and that she had no obligation to help them.
However, the honest and simple smiling faces of the city's citizens appeared in her mind: "The Holy Doctor has worked hard, let's go to my family for dinner today." ”
"It's okay, the Holy Doctor is already our great benefactor, and we don't have much hope for this second epidemic, so you should rest and cushion your stomach."
A woman was holding a roasted sweet potato and shoved it into her hand when she failed to expel the raw Gu for the woman's husband.
……
Ever since she cured the people of the strange disease of drinking water, everyone has been very enthusiastic about her.
Does she really want to ignore these simple people for her own selfishness?
Su Lanjiu stood on a street, looking at the scattered people on the road.
They were still welcoming her warmly because they saw her yesterday, but now they all collapsed on the ground because of the pain.
Su Lanjiu had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
"Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu." Lin Qingya next to her tugged on Su Lanjiu's sleeve and pointed ahead, "Look what they do?" ”
Su Lanjiu came back to her senses suddenly, and looked towards the place where Lin Qingya was pointing.
I saw that there were several carriages parked in the street, and the prince's guards were carrying a man who had fallen to the ground and put it on the cart.
What does this do?
Su Lanjiu frowned and was about to step forward to ask, but a person sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall, had already raised his spirit and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
When a guard heard this, he said loudly to everyone: "You are not sick, you have been hit by Gu, now bring you together to the city gate, and Lord Qincha will guide you to Gu, you are saved!" ”
"Really? Are we still saved? "A people have no strength and no way.
"Forget it, I can't believe it, Lord Chincha, if it were Lord Holy Doctor, I could still give it a try." The other opened his eyes and closed them again.
"It's all fate, it's fate, and it can't be cured at all." A common man, though set up by the guards, muttered indifferently.
After experiencing blow after blow, many people gave up in their hearts.
Anyway, if you cure this disease, you will get that disease again, and each time it will be more painful. This is their fate, probably because God doesn't want them to live.
The people stopped talking, but closed their eyes and let the guards carry them.
There is no more light in my eyes when I heard the news that I could be cured.
Su Lanjiu quietly watched the people on this street being sent away, and stood for a long time before sighing and saying, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”
Lin Qingya nodded, keeping up with Su Lanjiu's pace, and there was a little bad feeling in her heart.
Originally, the first epidemic has been cured, and everyone's hearts are full of hope again, after all, things are developing in a good direction.
But who would have thought that just one day would shatter everyone's hopes, and the whole city would be infected with the second epidemic.
Everyone was in pain, even the lord of the city.
At this moment, the city of Hancheng was once again in a dead silence and despair, just as it was on the day they first came, and even more disheartening than it was on that day.
-
In front of the city gate on the other side.
Su Jinzhou squatted on the ground, drawing something with cinnabar, and in front of him was dense and incomprehensible. Between these runes, there is a large bowl on it.
Su Ruoyi, who was next to him, was rarely restless in her heart, walking back and forth.
Seeing that the people in front of her were gathering more and more, Su Ruoyi was a little anxious.
Finally, he couldn't help but turn around and look at Su Jinzhou and asked in a low voice, "Master, how do I lead Gu?" ”
Master only said that she would watch it and listen to what he said later, but she didn't know anything at the moment, and she really didn't know anything in her heart.
Su Ruoyi's eyes glanced at Bai Lixi, who was moving a chair and sitting calmly drinking tea not far away, and secretly gritted her teeth.
In the past few days, she knew that Su Lanjiu was researching a way to treat the second epidemic, but she was actually very worried.
After all, Su Lanjiu is so evil, maybe she really let her find a way.
Unexpectedly, the master studied it first, and this was her chance.
saved the people of Hancheng, and she is qualified to be the crown princess.
This time we can only succeed, not fail.
