Chapter 54: The Plague Strikes
"Oh no!
Zhu San shouted all the way and rushed into the Oolong Monastery, and the monk saw Zhu San's frightened expression and hurriedly stopped him.
"Manager Zhu, what's wrong?"
Lin Pingyi's face was puzzled, and he grabbed Zhu San and asked.
Zhu San gasped for breath and paused for a long time before saying, "The government sent someone to spread the word, a large-scale plague occurred in the neighboring village, and many people died!"
"What, the plague?"
The monks guarding the gate around were all lay disciples, all of whom were selected after the merger of Fengxi Village, and when they heard the plague coming, they all looked at each other with a frightened gaze.
"Don't argue, come with me first, let's go find Master Huixin!"
Lin Pingzhi waved his hand, stopped the noise around, and pulled Zhu San to walk towards the meditation room where Huixin was.
.......
"The plague?"
Huixin frowned after listening to what the two said.
"Yes, Master Huixin, you should think of a way, now Sichuan City is afraid of chaos, and there are people fleeing everywhere. ”
It was not easy for Zhu San to explain the matter.
Hui Xin squinted his eyes and muttered, "Well, the poor monk already knows, Zhu San, you tell you to go down, Fengxi Village has not received outsiders recently, everyone must be prepared for anti-poison, you wait for me!"
After speaking, Huixin found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, waved his hand, and wrote down some simple ways to prevent the plague, in the Luding world, there was also a small-scale outbreak of the plague, but this time the plague came too coincidentally, giving Huixin a very bad premonition.
Lin Pingzhi asked hesitantly, "Master Huixin, what should we do?"
Hui didn't raise his head, and said, "Do what the poor monk wrote, just deal with the bad habits of some villagers, wait for the poor monk to go down the mountain, go to Sichuan City to see!"
"Disciple will come with you!"
"No, you stay in Fengxi Village, you are still needed here, gather some people who know how to identify medicinal herbs, maybe it will come in handy when the time comes. ”
Lin Pingzhi just wanted to say something, but when he looked up, Huixin was no longer there, only a pair of calligraphy was left, and the ink on it had not yet dried.
"Third Uncle Zhu, let's do what the courtyard master says first, everything depends on the will of God!"
"Alas, there has been no plague in Sichuan City for many years, and there was a great drought some time ago, doesn't God plan to let us live a good life!"
The appearance of the plague was something Huixin had never expected, and if it was just like this, Huixin would not feel that there was anything wrong, but it was too coincidental.
"What kind of person, this is the important place of the yamen, and idlers are not allowed to enter!"
The government of Chuancheng Mansion, the official blocked Huixin's way.
"Amitabha, the master of the poor monk Oolong Monastery, I will tell you Shangguan that the poor monk is visiting!"
"You're a monk, damn it, you have eyes, please come in!"
When the two of them heard it, they were dumbfounded, the name of Huixin had already spread throughout Chuancheng, who didn't know the prestige of the Qingcheng faction at the beginning, but as soon as Huixin came, he single-handedly destroyed the Qingcheng faction, and established a famous Zen temple on Qingcheng Mountain, and most of the rivers and lakes came to celebrate it, and this matter had already spread all over the world.
Except for the people from the government who went to visit at the beginning, the rest of them never had a chance to see Huixin.
"The situation is critical, let's lead the way!"
After entering Sichuan City, every time I saw it, there was a sigh scattering, and dark clouds seemed to cover the entire Sichuan City.
"My lord, the master of the Oolong Zen Monastery, the monk Huixin, is here!"
The official didn't dare to slack off, so he only asked Huixin to go back to the palace later, and the master was busy to go back.
Hearing Huixin's arrival, the prefect of Chuancheng was a little frightened, put on his official uniform, and walked out of the back house.
"Rare guests, I don't know the arrival of the monks, I miss the welcome!"
Glancing at this prefect, Huixin was a little surprised, looking at his strength, at least he has a second-rate level in the rivers and lakes, but he doesn't know what the number is, and he is only about forty years old, but he is very energetic.
Huixin waved his hand and said, "The poor monk came this time, and I heard that there was a plague in Sichuan City, so I came to see if there was anything, the poor monk can help, don't blame the prefect!"
The master standing next to the prefect said, "Forgive me, this is the prefect of our Sichuan City, Lord Niu Fenniu, now the whole Sichuan City is in chaos, first there was a plague from Qiyun Village, and there were more than 300 households in the whole village, but I don't know what the reason, more than half of the dead and injured have been temporarily ordered to be quarantined by the government, but unfortunately it has not been stopped, and it has begun to spread outward." ”
"That's right, now in Sichuan City, except for Fengxi Village, the three surrounding towns have not encountered the plague, and several other villages have been swept by the plague, and now the official doesn't know what to do!"
Niu Fen's face was full of sorrow, his whole face was a little distorted, and he kept sighing.
Huixin muttered, "Have there ever been plague events in the past?"
"No, at least the previous prefect did not leave any useful information, this official asked some doctors, there has not been such a large-scale plague in Sichuan City for nearly 20 years! I don't know if these innocent people can survive, please be merciful and save them!"
Looking at Niu Fen, the prefect, he can see that he is indeed a good official, his eyes are clear and there is no greed, only that kind of compassion.
"Where is Qiyun Village, find two guides for the poor monk, you must first find out the source, find the cause before you can prescribe the right medicine! The poor monk has a prevention manual here, Lord Niu, you can try it in Sichuan City, at least to stop the spread of the plague. ”
Niu Fenru got the treasure, and he was busy letting the master go down to explain first according to Huixin's method, and after thinking about it, he said, "This kind of thing happened directly under the jurisdiction of the official, it is the responsibility of the official, and the official will accompany the monk on this trip, and I won't tell you that the official is half of the people of Qiyun Village, and before my mother got married, she lived in Qiyun Village, and now she ...... Alas. ”
"My lord, you can't go, the government still needs you to be in charge!"
"That's it, it's still a small trip to accompany the monk, I know Qiyun Village very well!"
The surrounding officials were busy opening their mouths to dissuade them, Huixin had been the emperor, and he was very accurate in seeing people, so he nodded and said, "It's better to let others go with the poor monks, after all, Sichuan City still needs you to sit in town, it's best to report this matter to the Jingshi, and invite some doctors to come for treatment!"
Niu Fen thought about it, but he could only give up, and said, "Then please ask the monk to bother more, Li Zhutou, you can go with the monk on this trip!"
"Yes, lowly commanded!"
Among the crowd of servants, a middle-aged head catcher who looked to be in his forties walked out separately, who looked very shrewd and capable, and his skills were also good, at least second-rate in the rivers and lakes.
Huixin nodded and said, "Temporarily close the city gate, you are allowed to enter but not out, if you encounter disaster victims, let them go to Fengxi Village to occupy them as much as possible, the poor monk has already instructed Zhu San, the head of Fengxi Village, to get everything right!"
"Thank you monks, if you can stop this disaster, this official will definitely report to the imperial court and seal the Oolong Zen Temple!"
"That's not necessary, I'm afraid that this plague is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, but I hope it is not as the poor monk thinks. ”
Huixin shook her head, and the bad premonition in her heart became more and more solemn.
