Chapter 243 The strange disease that suddenly appeared(1/2)
Shuntian Prefecture, Mishikou.
At the third hour of Xu, it was as dark as ink.
Outside the Lu family yard, the crowd surrounded the three floors of the three floors, pointing and talking.
Zhou Mingsheng and Guo Dali, two yamen runners, stood outside the crowd, shouting that everyone would scatter, but no one paid attention to it.
In the middle of the Lu family's yard, a Taoist priest held a whisk under his armpit, held a bronze mirror of Yin and Yang Bagua in his hand, and recited a string of words that others could not understand. His expression was sometimes calm and sometimes frightened. Suddenly, he called "calm", his fingers fell on the mirror, and his whole body trembled, scaring the onlookers that dared not speak again.
Shi Yong squeezed into the crowd and ran into Zhou Mingsheng.
Zhou Mingsheng turned around and saw that it was her, and opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Ah..."
He was about to speak out, but Shi Yong's eyes stopped him.
Someone surrounded him one after another, but no one noticed Shi Yong. The Taoist priest in the yard had already set up a talisman and guided the Lu family to stick it to the various gossip directions of the house.
"This bloodthirsty man has been parasitized in the old house for a hundred years. Your family bought the foundation, pushed its house, and made a lot of ground on the original site, destroying its purity. He was embarrassed and revenge. I used this talisman to suppress it, so I could surrender him for a few days, but..."
The Taoist priest kept his breath tightly when the crowd held his breath.
When the Lu family heard this, their faces changed.
"Master, how can we subdue the evil spirits so that he will no longer harm my family?"
The Taoist priest stroked his beard several inches long, squinted his eyes slightly, and his expression was solemn.
"This thing has been here for hundreds of years. It absorbs the essence of the sun and moon and the spiritual energy of the house. It has a strong evil power. With the power of me alone, I may not be able to subdue me. I have to look back and ask the head uncle to come out of the mountain."
The Lu family was overjoyed and folded their hands together.
"Then please, Master."
The Taoist priest glanced and said with slight reproach.
"My uncle has been in seclusion for many years and is not so easy to hire."
When the Lu family heard this, they quickly paid the money and stuffed it into the Taoist priest's arms, "I beg the Taoist priest to save the lives of our family. If we do it, we will thank you very much..."
The Taoist priest had a straight posture and kind-hearted eyebrows. He put the money in his arms and said in a deep voice:
"It is my duty to subdue demons and eliminate demons. Where is the money? Let me try it. In the past few days, your family can take the talisman water I drew, three times a day. Do not drink too much, the talisman water has a spirit. If you wait for the body of the mortal fetus, you may not be able to bear it if you drink too much..."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you."
The Lu family thanked him for sending Taoist priests out of the hospital, but before they could walk to the door, the people watching outside retreated, as if they were afraid to contact them.
Taking advantage of the light of the torch, Shi Yong found that the faces, necks and backs of the Lu family were covered with rash bleeding spots, as if blood was seeping out of the pores. A child was sitting on the stool in the yard, constantly wiping the bleeding from his nose.
In the Wuling Hall, he heard Weizhou describe the strange disease of the Lu family.
At the beginning, there were diarrhea, swelling and bleeding gums, loss of teeth, hematuria, bloody stools, nosebleeds, and bleeding from the eyeball conjunctiva and body mucosa. In a few days, the fever did not subside, and it was not until it died of shock.
The whole family is not spared, but the symptoms of young and middle-aged people are slightly milder, and the elderly and children are even more serious.
The Lu family is a big family. Since some people started to get sick, two elderly people in the Lu family have passed away one after another. All the rest have become ill, some are bedridden, and some have just developed symptoms, which are of varying severity. Many doctors have taken countless decoctions and have not recovered, and the doctor cannot tell the symptoms.
So, the news of "the evil spirits caused trouble" spread.
The Jinyiwei is an intelligence agency that specializes in collecting all kinds of strange and strange things in the three religions and various things, so he sorted out and reported them. The reason why Weizhou reported this to Zhao Yin separately was that it suspected that this disease was related to the epidemic in the south, because the family of Lu, a family, had just moved to the capital from other places. If the epidemic in the capital was brought into the capital, the matter would be serious.
Zhao Yin asked Weizhou to go to Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau to ask the medical officer to go and confirm, while Shi Yong volunteered to come and check it out, but unexpectedly met Zhou Mingsheng.
"Is this Taoist priest a liar?"
Shi Yong naturally didn't believe that talisman water could help his life, especially when Wang was cheated of five taels of silver, he even sneered. After hearing this, Zhou Mingsheng wanted to cover her mouth and quickly signaled her to whisper.
"This is Taoist Master Ling Xiao from Taiqing Temple, don't talk nonsense."
"Taiqingguan?" Shi Yong raised his eyebrows.
Isn’t it the one where Wang bought the talisman paper?
In Shuntian Prefecture, there are two places where the incense is still increasing year by year, one is Qingshou Temple and the other is Taiqing Temple.
Qingshou Temple was a recognized temple because of the emergence of Zen Master Daochang. Zen Master Daochang assisted the late emperor to obtain the throne and planned the current pattern of the capital city. Daochang served as Zuo Shanshi, a monk, and was highly respected by two generations of emperors.
The legend of Zen Master Daochang's "experienced and modern, connecting yin and yang" remains in the hearts of the people twenty years after his death.
Although Taiqing Temple does not have as many myths and legends as Qingshou Temple, and has never been close to the court, his Taoist talismans and elixirs are even more popular because of his leader, Taoist Qingxu, "Dao bone immortal style, superb magic, and vast magical powers."
After all, Tao Chang has passed away, and Taoist Master Qingxu is still alive.
Shi Yong heard Zhou Mingsheng's words, "I'll go and see what strange disease the Lu family has caused."
"Don't!" Zhou Mingsheng grabbed her and shook his head, "Their family now hates those unscrupulous doctors to death. They refuse to let people see a doctor, so they believe that Taoist priest..."
Shi Yong frowned, "I am not an unscrupulous doctor."
Zhou Mingsheng shrugged his eyebrows, "Who believes?"
"You!" Shi Yong looked at his yamen runner dressing, "You go up and say. They may not dare to ignore it."
"Dare you dare!" Zhou Mingsheng said, "Didn't you see me standing outside here for a long time? This family has been forced to look angry, even if you are a constable?"
Shi Yong had cold eyes: "Then why did you come?"
Zhou Mingsheng pursed his mouth and glanced at Guo Dali.
"Tao Shen sent us to see the situation, afraid of a big mess."
Oh! It was like coming to maintain public order. Shi Yong nodded, and was about to get closer to see what disease the Lu family had, so Weizhou brought people from Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau.
Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau is the official pharmacy of Da Yan. All the medical officers in it are assigned by the Imperial Hospital to help the poor and understand the epidemic in a timely manner. However, Zhou Mingsheng's words were obviously correct. The Lu family refused to let the medical officer approach. Before entering the yard, they screamed and roared, saying that they were coming to harm their own family.
One of them was emotional and had a nosebleed on the spot, smearing his face, looking very scary.
When Zhou Mingsheng saw that the situation was wrong, he pulled Shi Yong back a few steps.
"Don't get ahead. They all said that this disease will be contagious."
Shi Yong was surprised, "Infectious?"
In her memory, there was no such infectious disease.
However, since there is such a statement, it is better to be careful.
Weizhou brought several Jinyiwei to come. Among the people, Jinyiwei was not well-known. Seeing that they were going to forge ahead, the crowd started to make a fuss, and the Lu family even cried endlessly.
Shi Yong discovered that the Taoist priest took advantage of the noisy crowd and sneaked into the alley at Mishikou.
snort!
At that time, Yong elbowed Zhou Mingsheng.
"Walk."
Zhou Mingsheng was still watching the excitement inside, and was stunned when he heard this, "What are you doing? I'm still on duty."
Shi Yong narrowed his eyes and whispered: "Do you want to get a reward?"
When Zhou Mingsheng heard this, his eyes lit up.
This woman was already a myth in his heart. In just a few months, she transformed from an unknown female officer to a celebrity in front of the Grand Commander. She was so rewarded that she could build a new house. How could she have few tricks?
Zhou Mingsheng is grateful.
"A Shi, I knew you would support your brother--"
He patted Guo Dali and said he was going to the cottage, so he followed Shi Yong out.
Zhou Mingsheng and Ashi were very familiar with each other, and they were very enthusiastic about calling each other brothers. The general in the alley looked at him holding his shoulders and putting his back on his face.
If Ah Shi hadn't come here, the Grand Governor wouldn't have been in charge of such trivial matters. However, he not only came, but also came.
Xie Fang looked at the coldness on the adult's face, and his head ached faintly.
"Master, do you want to go and have a look?"
Zhao Yin said no.
As soon as Xie Fang bent down and pressed the curtain, he saw Zhao Yin gently pulling his knife, jumping down quickly, and fainting into the night at a very fast speed.
Xie Fang and Zhu Jiu looked at each other and followed closely.
Taoist Master Ling Xiao walked very quickly and looked back from time to time, and he looked guilty and panic.
Shi Yong took Zhou Mingsheng carefully to follow him, without knowing that the mantis stalked the cicada, and there were three orioles behind him.
"Ah Shi!" Zhou Mingsheng whispered, "How long will we stay with you? I still have to go back to work."
Shi Yong stared at Ling Xiao intently.
"No one keeps you."
Zhou Mingsheng scratched his head, "Don't, you can make money together. I think we should stop following us, go forward and get someone directly. What do you want to ask? Just ask him..."
Shi Yong snorted, "Shut up!"
Zhou Mingsheng pursed his mouth and followed her helplessly.
Ling Xiao saw that he had no experience in hiding people. He repeated several times but did not find anyone following him. He didn't pay much attention to walking. He no longer cared about the back, but accelerated his pace.
The footsteps were loud and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
