Chapter 619: Liaoyuan
Minzhou, Chiba City, was originally a famous big city in Minzhou with a permanent population of nearly one million, but at this time there was a breath of anxiety and anxiety everywhere.
The city gate was closed, and the soldiers were wearing white towels and sturdy faces. They looked nervously outside the city gate. There was an endless refugee camp there, which was initially estimated to be no less than hundreds of thousands of people, and this number was still under the passage of time.
It is increasing.
Not long ago, there was a severe drought in Minzhou. This time the drought came in a strange way, and the speed was extremely fast. Minzhou's food was almost out of stock. Countless people were forced to flee and became refugees in order to survive.
Faced with such a situation, Chiba City responded immediately and started disaster relief immediately. The speed was extremely fast. If it was just a simple famine, Chiba City would not be unable to deal with it. At least it would not collapse the situation, but the refugees would soon
There is a plague outbreak, one spreads ten, ten spreads hundreds, and the spreads very fast. Once infected, the medicine stone has no doctor and can only wait for death. The process is also very painful, with abscesses all over the body and rotting flesh and blood.
Will die directly.
In order to prevent this terrifying plague from spreading into the city, Chiba City could only stop providing relief to the victims and immediately locked down the city.
"Have you heard that there was a small block in Xicheng before. Now the city lord's mansion has ordered that the block be completely blocked."
Whispering and looking at the endless refugee camp, soldiers told the rumors they had heard.
Hearing this, someone immediately corrected his words.
"It's no longer a ban. I heard that in order to prevent the plague from breaking out in the city, the City Lord's Mansion has ordered the place to burn white."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people around him changed instantly.
"It's true or false, that's thousands of lives. Just burned to death?"
As he spoke, the person who spoke was full of disbelief.
"What's the solution? This is what the men in the inner city said. I heard that the plague is very strange, and even those immortal masters can't solve it."
After looking around, an older soldier whispered.
Hearing this, everyone was still a little unbelievable for a moment. The immortals were almost omnipotent in their eyes. This plague is really so powerful that even the immortal masters in the inner city could not deal with it?
"But this is too much, this is thousands of lives!"
There is a hint of confusion in the words, and some people still can't let go.
Hearing this, someone sneered.
"This is the best way. Once the plague breaks out, the lives of millions of people in the city will be threatened, including your and my family. Can you accept this?"
"I···"
He wanted to speak but stopped, and the atmosphere on the city wall became dull for a moment.
At this moment, a group of people who could not survive suddenly rushed out of the refugee camp and ran towards the city gate, hoping to ask for a way out, but they were greeted by a rain of arrows, and everyone was shot and killed on the spot.
Seeing such a scene, the refugees who watched were full of fear, but there was also resentment growing under the fear.
Several people in yellow clothes crowded among the refugee group and watched this scene silently, with excitement in their eyes that was very different from other refugees. The more desperate the soil, the more pure faith it can give it to you when you are desperate.
The White Lotus Sect, which can resolve the plague on them, will become the only savior in their eyes.
"Bai Lian Lao Mother, vacuum home."
"Everyone, the world is like a furnace, and the world suffers so much. We must point the way for these lost lambs and let them know that only believing in the mother is their only way to salvation."
Retracting his gaze, a man who looked sallow and looked in his forties said, his eyebrows shining, reflecting a third-grade white lotus.
Hearing this, his face showed an uncontrollable fanatic look, his hands were made of lotus seals, and several yellow-clad scholars bowed, and a white lotus flower was reflected on their eyebrows.
Soon after, a few people dispersed, as if a few drops of water melted into the ocean, and the waves were unpredictable. However, it was from this time that a sect named White Lotus Sect began to take root and sprout on this chaotic and desperate land, and with a kind of horror
The speed is growing.
And when the waves were about to arise outside the city, there was also undercurrents in Chiba City.
"Everyone, is this plague really impossible to solve?"
His eyes swept over everyone present, and the face of the lord of Qianye City Xie Zhonghong was full of solemnity.
Due to historical reasons, the Imperial Road of the Southeast Jiuzhou was not prosperous. Except for the former Taizhou Marquis, the power of the Daying Emperor Dynasty in other major prefectures has long been destroyed, and even the name is not left. Naturally, Minzhou is also
in this way.
All regions are governed with cities as the core, and the city lord is assigned by the Qingzhu Sect. The powerful locals are basically closely related to the Qingzhu Sect. Most of the families have joined the Qingzhu Sect.
Hearing the words of the lord of Qianye City, he looked at each other and everyone present shook their heads.
"The city lord, there is really no way. We have tried everything we should try. The plague is very strange. Even the worshipers have no choice but to rescue Qingzhu Sect for the sake of the present plan."
After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man wearing gorgeous clothes and long beards spoke.
As soon as these words were spoken, the rest of the people turned their attention to the city lord, waiting for his answer.
As the rulers in Qianye City, for them, the immortal cultivators are not that mysterious. Each family basically worships several immortal cultivators, and even they have them themselves. They clearly know that immortal cultivators are not omnipotent, but
It is clearer that there are truly powerful immortal cultivators in the Qingzhu Sect, and it is not wrong to say that those existences are immortals.
Feeling the eyes of everyone, the city lord Xie Zhonghong's expression suddenly froze.
"I had already sent a letter to Shangzong to explain the situation of the plague, but Shangzong believed that this was just an ordinary matter, so we can deal with it ourselves."
Xie Zhonghong said with a stiff expression.
As soon as these words came out, all the people present changed their expressions, and at this moment someone thought of something.
"I heard before that something happened to the Qingzhu Sect and the old sect leader fell. Could it be that this is true that they have no time to take care of other things?"
Hearing this, many people's eyes flashed. They also heard of such rumors. They didn't believe it before, but now it may not be groundless. If this is true, they must look for it at this moment.
A way out.
"I don't know other situations, but Shangzong has been standing for thousands of years. I think there will be no major events this time."
"The most important thing for us now is to control the epidemic and prevent it from breaking out in the city."
With a low voice, Xie Zhonghong spoke again.
Hearing this, the rest of the people nodded. This is the only way at present. As long as the epidemic does not break out in the city, there is still room for everything to turn around. It will be no problem to persist with the food and other materials stored in Qianye City for several years.
At least that's true for them.
But at this moment someone rushed in from outside.
"Master, something is wrong. The gates of the north and south are opened and refugees are flocking into the city."
He fell to the ground, his face frightened, and a slave quickly reported.
After hearing this, after confirming the facts, the city lord Xie Zhonghong felt darkness in front of him, his head was dizzy, and he collapsed on the seat powerlessly, and the other people's faces were not good-looking.
Even if there are only a large number of refugees, they don’t care. But many of these refugees have actually been infected with the plague, but they have not yet erupted. Their entry into the city means that the plague has completely lost control, and it may not take long.
Yecheng will become a breeding ground for plague.
Thinking of such a future, everyone felt that the road ahead was dark.
A spark can start a prairie fire. In the current Southeast Kyushu, an unknown fire is burning. What happened in Chiba City is just a microcosm.
Because it originated from ordinary people, the major immortal sects did not care about it at the beginning. Droughts and plagues have not happened before. This year, it has only become more powerful. As long as you spend a period of time, it will naturally calm down. This kind of ordinary forces are in danger of being in trouble.
It can be handled by yourself as before.
