Chapter 9: The Plague Emerges

"Lord Abbot!Lord Abbot!" A noisy voice faintly came from a distance, Tang Yuan looked around suspiciously, "Who is calling me?"

"It seems that the person who called Uncle Shi is under the mountain. Sihai hesitated.

"Under the mountain?" Tang Yuan touched his bald head, "Who is calling me down the mountain?" After speaking, he looked down the mountain.

"I'm rubbing! So many people!" Tang Yuan didn't know if he didn't look at it, and he was startled when he saw it. It turned out that the mountain was full of people, and when I looked from the mountain, I saw hundreds of figures running up the mountain, and while running, they also shouted "Lord Abbot~". waited for the figures to get closer, and only then did they see the appearance of these people clearly.

They were all young people in their twenties, each with weapons in their hands, most of the weapons were hoes and other tools, and some simply held wooden sticks and flat poles, and rushed up the mountain with a fierce face.

"My life is on hold!" Tang Yuan suddenly cried bitterly, he was only at the fourth level of internal strength, even if he added the four seas of the eighth layer of internal strength, how could he be able to withstand the siege of so many young people on the mountain.

"Sihai, let's run! The people below are going to be killed!" Tang Yuan saw that some people had already rushed to the mountain gate, and hurriedly said.

"Uncle Sanzang, they are the poor people of Cangwu City, it seems that they are here to help us. Sihai saw Tang Yuan, who was pale with fright, and whispered.

"The poor people in the city are here to help us?" After the timid Tang Yuan heard Sihai's words, he took a closer look. It seems that he really rescued the villagers in the slums.

"Damn, scare Lao Tzu!" Tang Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his head and muttered, "I thought it was those underworlds who called people to cut me." ”

"Amitabha. Why are the donors coming to the temple?" Tang Yuan secretly used his internal strength and shouted at the crowd that rushed in front of him.

"Abbot Sanzang, I've heard that those bastards from the Brotherhood League in the city have come to trouble you. So we spontaneously gathered to defend you, the abbot, and to defend Leiyin Temple. A young man of a small grade said enthusiastically.

"Yes, yes, Heiwazi is right, you have helped us so much, Lord Abbot, now it is our turn to help you. Abbot, don't worry, with us here, no one can hurt you and Leiyin Temple today!"

"That's right! Those bastards of the Brotherhood must come and go today!

"Yes, yes, yes, kill those bastards!"

There was a commotion, and the more people talked, the more excited they became, and they all criticized the crimes of the Brotherhood. Tang Yuan helplessly wiped his face with his hands from time to time, this spitting is really a lot...

Sihai was very excited when he hid behind Tang Yuan, seeing that so many people in front of him were standing on the side of Leiyin Temple, all saying good things about Uncle Sanzang. Sihai didn't know that there was joy in his heart, and Leiyin Temple was finally recognized by everyone, at least by the people in front of him.

Look at them one by one when they talked about Uncle Sanzang beating the bully Liu Wu, they fought one by one, just to prove that they were the witnesses at that time. From time to time, several women next to them wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes, and kept telling the children next to them about the bullying they had been subjected to, and the hunger they endured when there was not enough food, and warned their children to remember that it was the abbot of Sanzang here who beat away the bullies and prevented them from being bullied again, and gave them food and clothes.

"Uncle Sanzang, it's so popular with the people. Sihai muttered, "Lei Yin Temple, will it really rise again, as Uncle Shi said?"

Tang Yuan, who was in the center of the crowd, didn't have as much thought as the four seas, he was surrounded by a group of relatively strong men, everyone was talking to him, expressing their loyalty to him, Tang Yuan's ears were buzzing with these sounds, he only felt that if he continued like this, his ears would probably be wasted.

"Okay, okay!" An old man of fifty or sixty years old saw Tang Yuan's embarrassment, and hurriedly said loudly, "Don't say anything! Listen to what Abbot Sanzang has to say!" Maybe it was because the old man's age was there, and after he spoke, the voices of the crowd slowly calmed down. A pair of eyes looked at Tang Yuan, and goosebumps rose all over Tang Yuan's body.

"Ladies and gentlemen, listen to the words of the poor monks. Tang Yuan squeezed out of the crowd, took a deep breath and said, "Those bullies of the Brotherhood Alliance have been beaten back by the poor monks and nephews of the four seas. The good intentions of the donors are appreciated by the poor monks, but the Leiyin Temple is indeed safe, so please come down the mountain!"

"The bully was repulsed?" After everyone heard Tang Yuan's words, they were all a little dazed, and everyone rushed to help, but the abbot said that there was no need to help, the wicked people had already been beaten away.

No, I heard that the 'Brotherhood Alliance' sent a total of nearly 20 people to Leiyin Temple to make trouble, and there were two abbots and his nephews in the temple. Two people knocked out more than 20 people?

"Master Sanzang," a middle-aged man hesitated, "Is it you and Sihai who have repelled those villains?"

"That's right!" Tang Yuan didn't even think about it, "There are more than twenty people in total who came to those villains, and the leader of the team was Li San and a person called a sick scholar, and they were all beaten away by us!"

"Wow. When the people present heard the names of Li San and the sick son, there was a loud uproar. What kind of person is Li San, I heard that Li Sanyi's bronze body and iron bones can tear off tigers and leopards with his bare hands, and his strength is not known how many times stronger than that Liu Wu. Otherwise, Li San would not be known as the first general of the Brotherhood Alliance.

As for the sick man, not many people actually know about it. But everyone who knows the sick man knows that he is a more terrible person than Li San, especially the poisonous skills of the sick man and the poisonous insects and beasts he raises, which makes people ooze a layer of cold sweat when they hear his name.

However, these are two people. The abbot of Sanzang said that he was repelled by him, and he said it so easily. A monk can't lie, let alone an abbot!

Could it be that the abbot of Sanzang is really so powerful? Even the sick man is not his opponent. There were still some wise men in the crowd, and after those wise men deliberated in their hearts and came up with the unfathomable result of the abbot's strength, they looked at Tang Yuan with a hint of fear in their eyes, but more respect.

"Okay, okay, let's go back if it's okay!" the old man before commanded the crowd. After speaking, the old man glanced at Tang Yuan deeply, and his lips moved, as if he had something to say. But in the end, he shook his head and sighed, and followed the people down the mountain.

"This old man, please stay," Tang Yuan hurriedly shouted at the old man, Tang Yuan could see the expression of this old man just now, and he guessed that this old man must have something to say to him.

"This old man's surname, the poor monk seems to have something to say to me when he saw you just now?" Tang Yuan asked after inviting the old man to his room.

"Abbot Wisdom, my old man Wu does have something to say. ”

"Oh, if it's about a poor monk, please speak up. ”

"Alas~ Actually, it's just one thing," Old Man Wu sighed, "We poor people have decided to move, and Cangwu City can't accommodate us." ”

"Why is this?" Tang Yuan was stunned, "Could it be that someone is bullying you again?"

"Not really. Old man Wu shook his head, "There aren't many bullies who bully us, and it's not that we can't survive here, but because of the plague." ”

"Plague?!" Tang Yuan's eyes widened, "How is this possible?, how can a plague happen for no reason?!"

"It's true, abbot!" Old Man Wu saw that Tang Yuan was a little unconvinced, and explained, "The plague has broken out in Wanle County under Cangwu County, and almost half of the people in the entire county have died. Now the medical saint Lin Zhengnan is saving people in Wanle County. But you also know this disease, even if there is a medical saint, how many people in Cangwu City can be saved?"

"Besides, we need to use high-grade medicinal materials to save people, and most of these medicinal materials are in the hands of those high-ranking officials and nobles, how many can we ordinary people have? ”

"I came here today to repay your great kindness. Old man Wu smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that the abbot, you and your nephew are both masters, and you don't need our help." Okay, that's all there is to it, little old man, I have to go back and pack my things. ”

"Old man go slowly!" Tang Yuan sent Old Man Wu away and fell into deep thought.

In general, plague outbreaks will have a reason. It's because of wars, or because of disasters such as floods, or because of rats and other things that spread diseases. But Tang Yuan remembered very well that none of these conditions existed, so how did the plague break out?

Tang Yuan felt that this matter was not so simple.
