Chapter Ninety-Six: Yuan-loving Demon Worm
After Chen Jingzhi led the sick horse out of the county town, he went to the river, recited a magic trick in his mouth to the sick horse, and a elixir fragrance gently dispersed and floated into the nose of the sick horse. The sick horse's hooves kept flicking, making a snorting sound, and then let out a neighing sound, and the four hooves were slanted, and a worm as colored as blood jade came out.
This insect often has a foot surplus, resembling a yellow eel, and when it falls on the grass, it is about to pounce on the pill, Chen Jingzhi's palm emits a burst of knife qi, and instantly chops the insect into two sections. It's just that after that, the two sections of the worm's body continue to writhe, as if another head is about to grow from the fracture.
"It turned out to be a metaphilic demon worm. Chen Jingzhi smiled coldly, this kind of demon insect often hides in the water, once a person or livestock drinks water, it will flow into the abdomen along the water, devouring the essence of people or livestock every day, and finally when the demon insect grows up, it is also the time when the person or livestock possessed by the demon insect dies. This demon insect can't be killed by ordinary medicine at all, even if it is cut into several pieces, it can be revived. Fortunately, this Yuanlphile Demon Insect has not yet grown, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to deal with.
Chen Jingzhi popped out a flash of fire, and in an instant, the demon insect was burned into a pile of ashes. Then the sick horse fell to the ground, and Chen Jingzhi put the pill into water and sent it into the mouth of the sick horse. After about half an hour the sick horse stood up, and the man rose to his feet with a long neigh.
The black horse rested for a short time, got up and grazed by the river, with the help of Chen Jingzhi's elixir, the black horse's energy recovered very quickly, and he followed Chen Jingzhi back after a while. At the beginning, the first day of the trip was extremely slow, but Chen Jingzhi was not in a hurry, sharpening the knife and not cutting wood, this black horse has a deep foundation, and if he wants to go to southern Xinjiang in the future, he can use it.
That night, Chen Jingzhi slept in the wilderness, and the stars were bright in the sky at night, and his cultivation became smoother and smoother. The next day, the light was released, and the black horse walked around Chen Jingzhi a few times with steps, and the horse's head kept rubbing towards Chen Jingzhi. Chen Jingzhi touched the horse's head with a smile and said, "From now on, you will be my mount." ”
After finishing speaking, he turned over and got on the horse, but the black horse's energy was still insufficient, Chen Jingzhi used the blood god boy to pass on his light feather technique, and it fell on the horse's back like a feather, and there was not much weight. This spell can't be used to get on the road, but it's very convenient now. After another two days, the spirit of the dark horse is getting better and better, and Chen Jingzhi does not have to use more mana to support it.
This dark horse is really a little extraordinary, and the speed of carrying Chen Jingzhi is getting faster and faster. Although he took the official road, he spent his nights in the wilderness, and encountered three rogues along the way, and also encountered water bandits when he passed through the big river. Without the constraints of Yang Tingqing and others, he basically wouldn't stay longer. On the road, it was common to see officers and soldiers with weapons, and the situation seemed extremely tense, and these officers and soldiers immediately came to interrogate him on horseback.
Chen Jingzhi's formalities were complete, and his documents had a small seal covered by Wu Taishou, so no one embarrassed him.
On this day, he had already arrived in Pingchuan County, resupplying at a teahouse, and overheard someone talking about the outbreak of a plague in Yanchuan County. Chen Jingzhi couldn't help but prick up his ears and listened carefully.
"You don't want to go to Yanchuan County and Zhenning Mansion recently, if you come back from these two places, don't take them in, the plague there is really terrifying, I heard that dozens of people die every day, and now I don't know how many people have died. ”
"What plague is so powerful, the gods don't care?"
"It's summer, and the plague is still so contagious?"
"Seeing that someone from heaven and earth is running out, our county commander is now at the junction of the two counties, and if he dares to break in, he will be killed and burned with a knife. ”
"Then who knows, I said that those of you who go to Yanchuan County and Zhenning Mansion don't toss, my old man will be closed tomorrow and two days. The owner of the teahouse looked cautious, and looked a little haggard.
"Tell me what these bastards of Baiyue Kingdom are doing, can't they live a good life?"
"The group of people in the south are also brainless, how good it has been all these years. ”
"It's not that I heard that there were a few bad things in Zhenning Mansion, forcing those people to rebel. ”
"Don't die, nonsense, this matter can also be discussed? ”
When Chen Jingzhi heard these bits and pieces of news, he sorted them out again with his heart, and he was also a little shocked in his heart, he didn't expect the situation to be so serious. However, these people are ordinary people, and most of what they say is hearsay, but it is certain that Yanchuan County has been sealed now.
After drinking the tea, he dropped a few pennies, led the horse over and left quickly.
The closer I got to Yanchuan County, I found that there were several gas machines intertwined above Yanchuan County. At the junction of Yanchuan County and Pingchuan County, checkpoints were set up everywhere, and various trees and branches were used to block them, and soldiers with knives were guarded everywhere. After Chen Jingzhi thought about it, Chen Jingzhi led the horse and went to Yanchuan County from the official road.
"Boy, if you go to Yanchuan County, you are not allowed to come back, you have to think about it carefully. These officers and soldiers saw Chen Jingzhi from a distance, and when they saw that he was really going to break through the checkpoint, they immediately shouted loudly.
Chen Jingzhi thanked him and said, "There are still relatives in Yanchuan County, so I have to go back, thank you for the warning." After Chen Jingzhi finished speaking, he resolutely led the horse and walked over. Along the way, many checkpoints were set up, and there were precautions everywhere, and along the way, you could see the walkers of the Dao Palace assisting in the distribution of the Dao Palace's talismans, so that he must keep it in his mouth.
When he passed by, the walking of the Dao Palace also gave him a copy, and Yanchuan County now looks orderly, but Chen Jingzhi frowned, and these walks were all worried, with a panicked look. Under the calm, the waves surged. After entering the county seat, the doors of every house were closed, and the streets were depressed.
He walked briskly towards his home, and he frowned when he heard a cry, which was the voice of the red line and the clouds. He stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while, Chen Chiying opened the door, and after seeing Chen Jing, he was surprised and shouted, "Lord, come in quickly." ”
"Red line, Xianyun, it's Saburo who is back. Chen Chiying shouted inside, welcomed Chen Jingzhi in, and bolted the door again.
Chen Jingzhi frowned and said, "Master Chen, what happened at home?"
"Plague, I don't know why, Yu Shi contracted a strange disease, but she never even went out. Chen Chiying sighed, Hongxian's mother was blind and usually didn't go out.
"It's been a mess for more than ten days, I didn't feel right before, a while ago Tang Lianggu secretly came to tell me that something big seemed to have happened, I inquired again, there might be a problem, so I took Mother Yang over. Seven or eight days ago, a group of people suddenly entered the county seat, intercepted and killed more than a dozen families, killed forty or fifty people, and now the murderer has not been caught. However, in my estimation, it was the Baiyue people who wanted to disrupt the rear of our Song army, and now the imperial court has sent troops to Zhenning Mansion. ”
Chen Jingzhi listened to Chen Chiying's words and asked, "What is the matter with the plague?"
"It's hard to say, the plague is not as serious as it is, but the people are panicked, and it is inevitable that it will be exaggerated. As soon as Chen Chiying finished speaking, the red line and Xianyun had already rushed out.
"Third uncle, my mother kisses her..."The red line was almost collapsing, grabbing Chen Jingzhi's sleeve and crying.
"Uncle, aunt is dying. Chen Xianyun's snot was dripping, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
Chen Jingzhi gently patted the back of their hands and said comfortingly, "I'm already back, I'll go take a look." ”
The red line seems to have found the backbone, Chen Jingzhi entered the room, a sour smell was permeating, Yang's mother was fanning Yu's, Yu's face was like gold paper, and his life hung by a thread.
Chen Jingzhi immediately went over, took a serious look, and used his mana to swim the meridians around Yu's body. His brows furrowed at this time, and he asked, "Red Line, did your mother eat anything before she became ill?"
Hongxian hurriedly shook her head and cried, "My mother eats the same things as us." ”
Chen Jingzhi nodded and asked them all to go out, leaving only Chen Chiying.
Chen Chiying was puzzled, "Viewer, what kind of strange disease is Yu's family, I haven't seen it for a long time and I don't know what the problem is, so I have to use the pill left by the viewer to hang my life." ”
"Poisoned. ”
"But I tried it and there was no sign of poisoning. Chen Chiying suddenly became puzzled.
"Master Chen's martial arts are still shallow, and it is reasonable to see it, this kind of poison does not hurt the body at the beginning, but hurts people's spirit and soul, and eventually decays the five internal organs, meridians, blood and qi. This kind of poison, as far as I know, comes from a kind of puffer fish that is known as a ghost of the heart, and it can only have such a powerful thing after cultivating for decades and becoming a spirit. ”
Chen Chiying was a little stunned, "The Yu family almost never goes out, only occasionally basks in the sun in the courtyard, even if it is poisoned, it shouldn't be the Yu family." After a while, he said, "What the Lord means is whether the Yu family can't hold on." ”
"Tired. Chen Jingzhi sighed slightly, he really didn't have a better way, even if he was profound, he could only sigh at this point.
Chen Chiying let out a long sigh, "Shoucai, I secretly told Tang Lianggu to be ready, but at this time, the official mansion of the dead person must come back to inspect and make sure that it is not a plague before the funeral is allowed, and it can only be disposed of secretly, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." ”
Chen Jingzhi nodded lightly, "We still take the initiative to contact the government for this matter, and after the people from the Dao Palace confirm it, the trouble will be smaller, and other things can only be simplified, and I will appease the red line here." Master Chen, please go and talk to Tang Lianggu again, and let him come to see me today. ”
"Don't worry, I'll do these things. Chen Chiying hummed and was about to go out, but when he was leaving, he asked, "Before the Viewer, a person named Xu Da came to the Viewer, and it seemed that he had something to ask for, but the Viewer failed to come back, so he asked him to come back later." ”
