Seeing that the eldest lady was so polite, everyone really couldn't refuse, and tiptoed into the house. The area of the house is not large, three or two cubicles, a few tables and chairs, there are still some leftovers on the stove, the bed in the room is also a mud bed made of soil, and there are a few shovels in the bamboo basket and some potatoes and radishes stained with mud......

On weekdays, the courtyard on the mountain is like a heaven and an underground compared to this earthen house, and I am embarrassed to disturb it, so I have to carefully find an open place to stand.

"Fellow sword immortals, Xiaodi is really simple and there is nothing to handle, I hope the heroes will forgive me!"

"Auntie really doesn't have to be so polite, we are not noble and picky, all beings are suffering, and people are equal. Tell us about the changes in the city!"

Kong Xian was not polite at all, found a stool and sat down, and hurriedly asked: "Yes, auntie, I saw that the city was shrouded in dark clouds in the sky before, and there were bursts of demonic aura in the city, but what happened?"

Aunt Sun's eyes swept over Kong Xian, but when she saw the magic instrument ink pen tied around his waist, the whole person trembled violently, and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and exclaimed: "Could this be the son of the Confucian Mansion, the lord suddenly came to the untouchable house, and he hoped to spare the lives of the grass people if he didn't entertain him well!"

Lu Yu and Yun Yao were also shocked to see that the eldest lady reacted so violently, and they all looked at Kong Xian. Kong Xian was also a little surprised when he saw it, and when he looked around, he realized that he had forgotten to put away the ink pen, and the treasure jade attached to the end of the ink pen was a family heirloom, no wonder it would ......

"Brother Kong Xian, you ......"

"Hahaha, Brother Lu and Senior Sister Yun Yao probably don't know, my family's Kong clan is the right-hand man next to today's saint, and my father is an important minister in the court, and my Kong clan also happens to be rooted in Lingzhou City, and it can be regarded as a famous family here. When I enter the city, I will introduce you to my house to sit down!" said with a slight smug look on his face.

When Lu Yu learned about it, he secretly thought that this Senior Brother Kong Xian was so noble, why did he still go to the Tianshan Sect to learn art? Wouldn't it be beautiful to be an official of the imperial court under this mountain?

Yun Yao's focus is different, hearing that Kong Xian is a son-in-law, she joked: "Senior Brother Kong, is your family very rich!"

Kong Xian couldn't reply either, so he had to pick up a bunch of sideburns and smile proudly.

"Okay, okay, don't waste time!

Aunt Sun made a cup of tea for everyone, and said: "A month ago, Lingzhou City was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and it rained heavily for ten days in a row. At first, they thought it was a mango seed, but the climate entered the plum, and everyone didn't think so. As a result, after the rainy season passed, some of the domestic animals suddenly died, and the doctors in the city diagnosed them with some kind of strange disease, but they could not find the source of the disease, and gradually people gradually got the disease. Now the people in the city are panicking, and even eating and drinking are very cautious. In this way, there was not a trace of sunlight in a radius of dozens of miles, and the river in the city was also quite high, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of rotting corpses. Everyone thought it was because they had angered some god, so they went to the Buddhist hall every day to pray......"

The five of them looked at each other and didn't have a clue, but Lu Yu took the brunt of the question and asked, "Auntie, can you tell me about the symptoms of the epidemic in people!"

He put away the teapot in his hand, wiped the rattling wooden stool, recalled the meeting, and said, "Well, I have seen three or two middle-aged men who have contracted the epidemic. All of them have the same disease, that is, the skin around the body is no longer bloody, but white lumpy corpse spots have grown, and then the white spots will slowly fester, and finally only a pile of white bones remains!"

Among the few people, only Lu Yu understood the principles of medical skills, and they all stared at him, waiting for his response.

Scratching his head, he held his chin and pondered carefully, and after a moment got up and said, "I already have some clues, but I can't make a judgment before I have seen it with my own eyes." ”

After hearing this, the eldest lady was overjoyed and said: "It's really the heavenly immortals who opened their eyes, let a few of you come to save this Lingzhou City, I don't know what can help you swordsmen?"

"Auntie, can you borrow a few cloth clothes, let's disguise ourselves and then go into the city to investigate. ”

"Indeed, in the past few days, there have been a lot of strange people in Lingzhou City, and the city is also mixed, but you should be more low-key!" said that, he walked into the house, rummaged through the cabinets, and found a few burlap clothes.

"Hey, these three are the clothes in front of the old guy, I don't burn them all the time, if you don't dislike them, try them!"

The clothes of the dead were somewhat inappropriate to wear on the living, but the three of them were all monks, so they were afraid of this, so they took the cloth and changed into it. After a while, Yun Yao and Lian Ci also walked out of the house, the two of them were already extraordinary, even if they were coarse linen clothes, it was difficult to cover up, especially Lian Ci even if she was dressed like a peasant woman in a mountain village, but her temperament was still so arrogant. However, Yun Yao is used to Taoist robes on weekdays, and this cloth is very uncomfortable against the flesh, and her skin is also a little ruddy and itchy. On the other hand, Ming Chang is upright and looks like an official envoy, Kong Xian is more like a poor scholar studying in a cloth dress, but Lu Yu is quite normal in gray clothes.

He was originally a child in a mountain village, although he had not worn a cloth coat for more than ten years, but he was still used to it today, and he looked a little taller when he took off his loose robe.

Yun Yao saw his dress, and laughed silently: "Senior brother, if you carry a hoe on your back again, you really look like a farmer!"

Lu Yu didn't pay attention to it, and patted the dust on his trouser leg with some satisfaction.

In disguise, a few people said goodbye to Aunt Sun and walked towards the south gate. Recently, the city has not been peaceful, and the officials in the city guard have also doubled several times than usual, and anyone who wants to enter the city needs to be searched and checked, and the purpose of the arrival must be detailed, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter. But despite this, there was still a long queue outside the city gate, and there were all kinds of people dressed in them, including dart masters, disciples of sects on the rivers and lakes, merchants, and of course, there was no shortage of royal relatives and nobles hunting back to the city.

Originally, it was going well, but in an instant, something happened in front of the team, and when I turned around, I saw that it was an old beggar and a pawn who guarded the general. Behold, the old beggar was as skinny as wood, but his clothes were white and clean, his beard was long, his skin was sallow, he was carrying a cloth bag on his body, and he was holding a bunch of flags in his hand, which said, 'Count the last resort'. Looking at his dress, you can see that he is a fortune teller in the rivers and lakes, and it is unknown whether he has real skills.

"Old man, there is a sudden plague in the city, I think you should set up a stall elsewhere!"

The old beggar put his beard on his beard and weighed it with two stones on his fingers: "Hahaha, little brother, don't panic, I have calculated that the plague in this city can be eliminated within seven days." Do you want to give you a count?"

The soldiers around him came up when they saw the movement here, and one of the short-tempered young men drove away: "Old beggar, why did you serve it politely to you? Now the city is really not peaceful, you better take the dishes and chopsticks and go elsewhere to cheat!"

"Alas, young people nowadays, they just don't believe in the destiny of heaven!" he said, ignoring the obstruction of those soldiers, and strode towards the city with a brocade banner.

The five of them exchanged messages outside the city, unanimously claiming that they were visiting relatives in the city, and today's soldiers were still very friendly and let them go without further questioning. As soon as he stepped through the city gate, he could feel the panic of the people in the city after only a few steps, the usual bustling streets became silent, the doors and windows of every house were closed, and the vendors packed up their stalls and planned to leave early, and the air was filled with a strong smell of smoke and an unsettling smell of corpses.

But after all, this is Lingzhou City, even if there is a plague, but the city is still noisy as usual, everyone has walked from the southern suburbs to the market, and the flow of people is increasing, perhaps because they are afraid of being infected, the women on the street are veiled, and the men are wearing hats.

If you want to find out information, I am afraid that only taverns and inns are the most reliable, these places are mixed, and all kinds of characters will gather.

After walking for a long time, it was time to find a place to rest, and everyone stopped outside an inn, and before they could take the initiative to ask, the guy outside the inn had already shouted: "Yo, five guest officers, you can stay in the hotel, although the small shop is old, it is all available!"

"Then bother my brother to pick two rooms and prepare some meals. Oh, by the way, the two rooms are next to each other as much as possible!" Kong Xian took out a few pieces of silver from his bosom and handed them over.

"Haole, please in the guest house!"

The man led everyone up to the second floor, and although the inn was small and cute, there were quite a lot of people, and it was full.

"Huo, man, your inn business is pretty good!"

This guy also pondered the five of them carefully, leaned over and whispered: "The five of them should not be from Lingzhou, but they don't know that there is a sudden plague in this city, and people are panicking, and the city has not been peaceful recently, and strange people and strange things from all over the world have also gathered here. I think a few of you should have left early to avoid catching the epidemic as well!" said as he walked, leading the group to a corner upstairs.

"I'm really sorry, the rooms are tight only there are a few vacant rooms in this corner, please forgive me!"

Kong Xian took out some broken silver from his arms and stuffed it into the man's hand, and thanked: "Thank you brother for reminding me!"

Seeing that although he was coarse and linen, he was still a person who knew right from wrong, so he secretly put away the broken silver taels, squeezed a smile and said, "Haha, thank you for the guest officer." A few of you will rest first, and I'll prepare a meal for a few of you!"

After seeing the shopkeeper walk away, several people put their burdens in the house one after another, Lu Yu, Ming Chang, Kong Xian, and the three of them were okay, and there were no grudges against each other. However, Yun Yao and Lian Ci had some conflicts before, and these two people were both competitive and ignored each other. The three of them couldn't look at each other helplessly and smile, packed up their clothes and went downstairs.
