The temple is unusually large, except for the temple in the middle, there are several rows of houses in the backyard, and the walls are surrounded by greenery, flowers and plants, and only a square and altar are built in front of the temple.

There were no people moving back and forth in the temple, only the faint sound of chanting in the temple could be heard, accompanied by the smoke and incense.

According to Nalandron's introduction, Alayanzong went straight to the backyard of the temple, and when he saw that there were so many houses, enough to accommodate hundreds of people, he understood why so many displaced people were gathered here.

But before he could reach the backyard, he saw a group of monks carrying a stretcher and coming out of the temple in a group. Behind them, a group of monks lined up to accompany them, knocking on the wooden fish and chanting the scriptures, and went to the backyard together.

Curious, Alayanzong followed, and saw from a distance the monks carrying the stretchers to a forest.

Dry firewood had already been set up in a clearing, and the person who carried the stretcher put it on the firewood and started a fire.

The fire burned more and more, the green smoke rose to the clouds, the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees were rustling, and a wisp of lonely souls drifted away with the wind.

The monks gathered around the fire and kept knocking on the wooden fish to chant the scriptures, and their expressions were solemn and serious.

Arayanzong understood that this was an overdose for the dead, and although the atmosphere was sad, it was less bleak than the scene of hundreds of people burning their bodies outside the castle of Allah.

Even so, Alayanzong did not want to look any further, so he walked to the other side of the house.

These houses have independent courtyard walls, and the courtyard wall has a moon gate, and two soldiers stand in pairs, and when they saw Alayanzong coming, they shouted from a distance: "This is the epidemic isolation point, no one is allowed to enter, leave quickly!"

Alayanzong took out Nalan Delong's codex from his arms, continued to walk forward, and said, "I am a doctor sent by Nalan Divine Doctor, and I have come to learn about the plague situation, and I hope that the military master will give you a good word. ”

The gatekeeper was slightly surprised, and when he took the codex and looked at it, he said, "Sir, wait a minute. Then he went to the hospital to report.

A moment later, the soldier returned and led the Alayan sect into the courtyard.

In a room, four imperial doctors were sitting behind the bookcase sorting out the copywriting, and when they saw Alayanzong enter the house, they all looked up.

One of the middle-aged *** got up, and his face, which was a little sad just now, immediately showed a smiling face.

Stretched out his hand and motioned to Alayanzong, "Sir, please take a seat, Mr. Nalan asked you to come over, is there any magic solution?"

After holding his fists and saluting, Alayanzong sat on the rattan chair, bowed slightly and replied, "I want to take a look at the previous recipe first." ”

The middle-aged imperial doctor hurriedly responded: "That's that, that's natural." Then he handed over a prescription on the bookcase.

The other three imperial doctors were still busy with their own affairs, ignoring the Alayan Sect.

Alayanzong took the prescription and only glanced at it, secretly surprised in his heart.

Master used to use this recipe, and it still had a certain effect on treating plague, but later Master added flavored herbs.

Alayanzong took out the written prescription from his bosom, handed it to the middle-aged imperial doctor, and said, "Sir, you can be treated according to this prescription, and the effect may be better." ”

The middle-aged imperial doctor took the prescription, looked at it, nodded again and again, and praised: "Alas, it is worthy of being an old miracle doctor, and he is thoughtful, although he does not diagnose and treat on the spot, he still cares about the people and patients, and has been studying the prescription and constantly improving. ”

When the Arayanzong saw him say this, he did not argue with him.

If you say that this is your own prescription, it has nothing to do with the old and small divine doctors, and when you meet others for the first time, except for the name and the identity of the doctor on the Nalan Delong Codex, this imperial doctor does not know about himself, and he will be skeptical about this prescription if he can't figure it out.

It just happened to use the name of the old miracle doctor to apply this prescription to treat more patients and save a lot of tongues.

Then he said: "Of course, I hope that you gentlemen will not live up to the efforts of the old miracle doctor." ”

The middle-aged imperial doctor promised again and again, and the other three imperial doctors also stepped forward one after another, vying to see the new prescription, and couldn't help nodding and praising it.

Alayanzong wanted to visit those homeless people, but the middle-aged imperial doctor politely declined, saying that he just came to understand the situation and send a prescription, and there was no need to go to the dangerous place.

After introducing the general situation of the displaced people to the Alayan sect, he invited him to taste tea.

Alayanzong refused, and had to go to see the homeless man, and seeing that he insisted, the middle-aged imperial doctor had no choice but to follow him, and led him out of the house together.

Following the middle-aged imperial doctor, Alayanzong came to the east wing, opened the door, and the homeless people in the house looked up at each other.

There are single beds in the room, about half a meter apart, and more than a dozen beds are fully equipped with futons.

But when I saw all the homeless people, all of them had yellow and thin faces, full of vegetables, and were depressed, but none of them were lying on the bed, and they heard someone talking outside the door, and when the door opened, they were all silent.

The room smelled of sweat and urine, and Alayanzong couldn't help but suffocate, and when he saw that the window was closed, he stretched out his hand and pushed it open, and said to everyone, "Ventilation should be kept frequent. ”

The dozen or so homeless people didn't talk, they still looked at Alayanzong with wide eyes, but the middle-aged imperial doctor nodded and smiled: "They will naturally pay attention to these, they are not sick." ”

Alayanzong turned around, pointed to a large wooden barrel in the corner of the house, and there was still half a bucket of yellow soup in it, and said, "If these filths are not cleaned up in time, if you don't get the plague, you will get other diseases." ”

So saying, he went out of the room, and pushed open the doors of the other houses one by one, and looked at them one by one, which was basically similar to the first room, and did not see the women or children, nor the people who were infected with the plague.

Alayanzong was puzzled, so he asked the middle-aged imperial doctor, "Where are the patients, women, and children?"

The imperial physician pointed to the north, "There is another courtyard behind." ”

Alayanzong followed him out of the Moon Gate again, and when he went two or three hundred meters to the north, he saw a fence gate, but it was locked, and there were still two soldiers standing outside the door.

The middle-aged imperial doctor took out the key and unlocked it, but he saw that there were people lying on the beds, and the coughing and wheezing were clearly heard.

But the smell in the room was even stronger than the previous room, and as soon as Alayan Zongfu entered the door and retreated, the smell was really unbearable, and he was nauseous and retched, perhaps because it was almost noon, and he didn't eat in his stomach, otherwise he would have vomited out.

Alayanzong did not believe that such an environment could cure the plague, and some of the people lying in bed were already dying.

After pushing open the doors of the other rooms one after another, Alayanzong finally saw the women and children, and the sick and the uninfected were indeed separated from each other, and the environment was the same as elsewhere.

The middle-aged imperial physician followed behind the Alayan Sect, introducing the situation from time to time. The people who usually take care of these patients are also some homeless people, who are all healthy people, and they are willing to earn those few pitiful copper coins at the risk of being infected.

For those whose symptoms have disappeared, a row of houses has been arranged for them, which can be regarded as isolation from those who have not been cured.

The middle-aged imperial doctor's explanation for the current sanitary conditions is that the court has sent imperial doctors, provided medicinal herbs, and pulled out food, but the funds are insufficient and it is difficult to improve the current situation.

For those who died of illness, all of them were handed over to the monks to deal with, and after the cremation, the ashes were put into clay pots, gathered together, and regularly transported to the Nanshan cemetery outside the city for burial.

Alayanzong was helpless about these realities, and when he went out of the Moon Gate with a heavy heart, intending to go back, he saw a group of soldiers rushing towards this direction.
