When the smoke cleared, Meng Pingnan and the others saw that they had lost their opponents, and the chairs at the entrance of the tunnel were not moved, the roof of the hole was not damaged, and the gate was blocked by Yi Wuwei. They only said that Ma Yucheng and a few people couldn't enter the tunnel and didn't leave the lobby, and they believed that they would definitely be able to find it.

Not to mention that the villa was busy, but it was said that the four of them followed Zhang Wuying to the outside of the wall, and ran down the mountain with a smoke. Ouyang Harrier and Li Murong followed, and several people took a fast horse and left Sanssouci Villa.

They went down the mountain and were naturally discovered by the lookout post in the village and reported up, and the manpower of the Chamber of Commerce poured out of the villa like a cloud, but Ma Yucheng and they went far away.

Ma Yucheng suddenly jumped out of the secret tunnel of Sanssouci Villa? It turned out that when Zhang Wuying was digging into the tunnel, Ma Yucheng also came to Tianmu Mountain. He glanced at Sanssouci Villa and felt that there was a lot of work. The mountain villa is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and a dangerous road is certainly easy to defend and difficult to attack, but since it is an important base of the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce, it must not be so simple.

He remembered that there was a tunnel at the headquarters of the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce in the Makufu Mountains that led directly to the outside of the mountain, could there be a tunnel in the villa? He turned to the back cliff of the villa and saw that there were several farmers there. Careful observation found that this is not an ordinary farmer, although the chickens and dogs bark, the livestock and poultry are the same as the usual mountain villages, but the entry and exit are all strong children, there are no old and weak women and children. So he made up his mind to find out the secrets of these farmers.

He carefully observed the manpower of each courtyard, and found that although there were four or five courtyards, there were only two or three people in each courtyard, which was not a normal person. He quietly approached the westernmost courtyard, and saw an opportunity to climb over the wall and enter the courtyard.

There were two farmers inside, one feeding the chickens and the other sweeping the floor. He restrained the two men with great speed and strange maneuvers, and as he shook, they could neither move nor speak.

The chickens in the yard were frightened, fluttering and screaming, attracting the attention of several other farmers. But Ma Yucheng's movements stopped, and the chickens did not panic too much, pounced twice and continued to forage. Several other farmers saw that there was no major movement, so they gave up paying attention.

Ma Yucheng smiled and said softly: "Wronged two." So he carried the two into the room, and stood by the wall, and said that after two hours, the acupuncture points would be self-explanatory. He himself walked around the house, looking for something different. He wandered around for a long time and found that the house was full of ordinary peasant utensils, and there was nothing special about it. After a round search, he fixed his eyes on the closet.

He opened the closet door and saw that the clothes were stacked in several compartments. He pushed the cabinet slightly, but it didn't move. He closed the door again, examined it carefully, and found that the handle on the door was different from the wardrobe of an ordinary farmer's house. He grabbed the handle and twisted it from side to side, and sure enough, he heard the sound of rolling inside the cabinet. When I opened the cabinet door again, I saw that the inner closet where the clothes were placed had been transformed into a door, leading to an unknowable passageway, which was dark and swarthy.

He found a torch and walked in, and there were steps inside. He walked up the stairs and walked for a while, estimated by the height, about the height of Sanssouci Villa. It was as if they had reached the exit and heard the masked man and the carefree boy talking, so they simply hibernated. Who knew that the carefree boy was troubled, and he actually opened the tunnel entrance and let him hide from afar.

Ma Yucheng looked at the Daoist and asked, "How did the Daoist enter the tunnel?"

Before the Taoist could answer, Niu Feifei rushed to say, "This is not simple? Seeing that Ma Daxia entered the courtyard for a long time and didn't come out, we followed up." ”

Several people laughed loudly, today is a coincidence, and it can be regarded as the same destination.

As soon as the group came out of Tianmu Mountain, they were greeted by two fast horses, and there were two Taoist priests sitting on them, and Lao Yuan raised his voice and asked: "In front of you, are the martial arts flying harriers, the smoke wave anglers, the shadowless holy hands and the all-eating Taoists?"

Ma Yucheng replied: "Exactly!"

The two Taoist priests didn't say much, and as soon as one of them raised his hand, several posts flew over.

Ouyang Harrier copied it in his hand and saw that it was an invitation to the martial arts conference. If the two Taoist priests flew away, they must be Wudang messengers, and they had to deliver posts elsewhere.

The martial arts conference was held by the head of Wudang, Yuxu Zhenren, and now, the co-signed conveners are Yunmengke Liu Rufeng and Kuaidaomen head Hou San. How did these three people get together?

Since they received the post, several people decided to go to Wudang together. Look at the time There are still two months, there is nothing to do, and it is good to travel all the way. When you arrive at Liangjiang, of course, you have to visit Lin'an, so you agree to go to Qinghefang, the most prosperous place in Lin'an. There is a lot of business and trade, and it is very convenient to eat and play.

The Taoist always couldn't control his mouth, and before he went far, he took out a leg of mutton and gnawed it. Ouyang Harrier couldn't see that his mouth was full of greasy and didn't want to go with him, so he beckoned Li Murong and said, "Let's go first." ”

Li Murong responded with a good salute, and followed Ouyang Yao first.

Niu Feifei's eyes lit up when he saw Li Murong, and when he saw Ouyang Harrier and Li Murong about to leave the group, how could he be reluctant?

Hua Qianqian's heart was on Niu Feifei, and when she saw Niu Feifei walking fast, she also beat her horse and followed. There are only three people left on the road behind: Ma Yucheng, Zhang Wuying and Tongren.

Ouyang Harrier and his entourage advanced to Lin'an, and Ma Yucheng and they were still a few arrows away from the city gate, but they saw waves of refugees, and they didn't know where they came from. One by one, the refugees looked sad and were blocked out of the city by the soldiers who guarded the gates. After inquiry, I learned that there was a plague in Yongjia Mansion recently, the epidemic was serious, ten rooms and nine empty, most of the escapees who were not infected with the epidemic, and some lived in Puji Temple.

Ma Yucheng said: "Let's go and see it too." Zhang Wuying and the Taoist nodded, and without saying a word, they rushed to Yongjia Mansion on horseback.

Along the way, I saw people and animals dying, and many corpses were not buried in time. All three understood that a corpse was a new source of infection. When they saw one body properly disposed of, they dug a pit and moved the bodies into the pit and buried them. Although buried a little shallow, it is better than being exposed.

I rushed to Puji Temple to see the monk and visit the abbot, so I went separately to inspect the epidemic.

This is indeed a vicious disease that has never been seen before, and the infected person is becoming more and more short of breath step by step, breathless, and easily suffocated.

The soldiers of the official doctor are busy, treating the sick. There are many refugees in Puji Temple, and such a living environment may further cause the spread of the epidemic. Ma Yucheng informed the prefect that more temporary accommodation should be arranged and evacuated to help control the epidemic.

Ouyang Harrier took the three little guys to live in Qinghefang, and after a long time, he didn't see Ma Yucheng and them coming, and he felt strange. After inquiring, they learned that there was a plague in Yongjia Mansion, and all three of them went to the epidemic area.

She instructed Li Murong and them to play in Lin'an City and not to run outside the city to avoid contracting the epidemic, and she hurried to Yongjia.

When he saw Ma Yucheng, he asked, "Did you find anything?" Ma Yucheng shook his head and said that at present, he only knew that the epidemic occurred first from Bilian Town. They went to Bilian to see it, but they didn't find anything unusual.

Ouyang Harrier said: "I have long known that you will not make a big discovery, I know more about medicine than you, and I should tell me first when I come to the epidemic area." ”

Ma Yucheng and the three of them have nothing to say, if they want to talk about medicine, the three of them are indeed some laymen, but it may not be necessary to say that Ouyang Harrier knows more. The Ouyang sisters are famous, which is to treat the bruises and injuries of martial arts figures, and the treatment of epidemic prevention may not be very clever. The three of them didn't speak because they didn't inform Ouyang Harrier in advance, and they always had some reasons.

Ouyang Harrier didn't say much, and hurried to Bilian, where several official doctors were investigating the scene. Ouyang Yao inquired about the situation and felt that the problem was not in the town. There is a Qinglian sect on the lotus mountain outside the town, the church is not big, the lotus flower is a holy object, and it is also a well-known martial arts sect in eastern Zhejiang. Once a month, the sect leader ascended to the altar to preach, and the first infected person to appear had the experience of going to Lotus Mountain to hear the sermon.

Several people came to the Qinglian Sect, but they saw that the mountain gate was closed, and the sect did not accept outsiders at all. How can the little Qinglian Sect stop these masters? Ouyang Harrier took the lead, and a few people didn't say anything, and showed their skills and went straight through the mountain gate.

When I got inside, it turned out that the Qinglian Sect was already in a mess, and half of the sect members were infected and staggered, so it was no wonder that the mountain gate was closed.

Ouyang Harrier found the well and took water samples, conducted a test and inspection, and found nothing unusual. I checked the food they had eaten recently, but I couldn't find the reason, and I couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Ma Yucheng said: "The cause is difficult to find out, so let's try to treat the patient first." "That means to say: We can't find the reason, and you martial arts flying harrier are not necessarily much smarter, and you can't find the reason either.

Of course, Ouyang Harrier heard his extraneous voice, but it was right to treat the patient first. So a few people rushed back to Puji Temple, and saw the medicine of the official doctor, all of which were astragalus, codonopsis, etc., and many patients could not afford to pay for the medicine, so they would rather wait for death than take medicine.

Ouyang Harrier recommends using ginkgo biloba decoction water to drink, plus a small amount of astragalus, Chuanxiong, wheat winter, licorice, safflower, red white peony, citrus aurantium and other herbs, the materials are not expensive, and can be treated for patients for free.

This place is full of ginkgo trees, and people usually investigate whose family background, regardless of how many fields and properties there are, only how many ginkgo trees there are at home. With ginkgo biloba as the main medicine, there is almost no cost, and the officials and doctors accepted the suggestion and quickly set up a few large pots to decoction.

The herbs prepared by Ouyang Harrier really had some effect, and the epidemic was effectively alleviated. As soon as the method spread, the common people went to collect medicine for treatment on their own, and even the official doctors did not need it.

But what is the cause of the disease? Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? Ouyang Harrier asked the Qinglian Sect Master again, "Does your sect have any enemies?"

The leader of the Qinglian Sect said: "Our sect pursues the law of no dispute with the world, and there is no enemy."

Ouyang Harrier said, "Then has there been any special person who has come to your sect recently?"

After a brief recollection, the Qinglian Sect Master said: "Speaking of which, there really is, what kind of chamber of commerce, and what chamber of commerce is invited to join the sect." Why don't we join the Chamber of Commerce if we don't do business? I refused. ”

"Yes. Ouyang Harrier glanced at Ma Yucheng and them, and then said: "Although the cause of the disease is not known yet, it is certain that this is a man-made disaster. ”

Ma Yucheng shook his head and said, "It's really inhumane." He asked the Qinglian Sect Leader again, "Is it the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce?"

"Yes, yes! It's the Pingnan Chamber of Commerce. The Qinglian Sect Master hurriedly answered.

The all-eating Taoist also sighed with emotion: "It seems that this Pingnan Chamber of Commerce is not only for the disaster of martial arts, but also for the world." ”
