In Shangyong County, Xiao Wen and the other two people came, but they did not enter the city, but went to the villages around the county.
That's where Zhang Zhongjing stayed.
When Xiao Wen and others arrived here, they could see that the village was sparsely populated, and every villager had a sallow complexion and an abnormal yellowish look on their face.
When your eyes are fixed on the past and fall on these villagers, you can see those villagers looking back one by one.
When he saw Xiao Wen, Dian Wei and He Yi, a look of anger first appeared on his face.
After seeing Mu Changan, the anger on his face disappeared, and a little respect appeared on his face.
However, Xiao Wen could tell that what these people respected was not Mu Changan, but rather the Taoist uniform Mu Changan was wearing.
What they respect is the Five Dou Rice Road!
Although I don’t know what the five buckets of rice did to earn such respect from these people, from this point of view, it is enough to be admired.
After all, many things can be faked, but the human heart cannot be faked.
Especially the subconscious reaction deep inside a person's heart.
They subconsciously respected Wu Dou Mi Dao, and that's why they acted like that.
"I've met the Taoist priest." Several villagers put down their work, took a step forward, and bowed to Mu Changan.
Mu Changan returned the courtesy, but he was not surprised by this.
He didn't dare to talk about other places in Yizhou, but in Hanzhong County, the incense of Wu Dou Rice Road was extremely strong.
Although it is not said that there are followers with five buckets of rice here, it is still common to choose one out of ten.
"You don't have to be polite. This poor Taoist came here just to see Dr. Zhang. I wonder if you can pass the message?" Mu Changan raised his hand and said.
As soon as these words came out, several villagers showed embarrassment on their faces. After communicating with each other for a moment, someone stood up, lowered his voice and said: "Report to the Taoist Priest, Doctor Zhang is not in the village at the moment."
"A few days ago, news came that an epidemic broke out in a village in the mountains. Everyone in the village fell ill, and only one strong man went out to seek medical treatment."
"I heard that there is an epidemic, but how can the doctors in the county dare to go there? They are afraid that they will accidentally report it to the mountains. Even our Taoist priest rejected that person's request for help."
"Somehow, the matter reached the ears of Divine Doctor Zhang, who packed his bags overnight and followed the man into the mountains!"
"This is already the fifth day, and he still hasn't come back. Even the man sent by our village to look for him has never returned."
When these words came out of the mouths of those villagers, they were all stunned, with a look of surprise on their faces.
Even Mu Changan is like this.
Obviously, he had never heard of Zhang Zhongjing's entry into the mountains before this.
"Have you ever approached the county magistrate about this matter? As a parent and official, he doesn't care about it?" Mu Changan was a little annoyed and asked in a scolding voice.
Hearing this, the villagers had not yet answered, but Xiao Wen on the side had a sneer on his face.
The world is as black as crows,
In this world today, how many people can be called good officials?
Moreover, this Hanzhong County should have been presided over by the county governor Su Gu.
But it happened that under his rule, a five-peck rice road appeared.
Although this Five Pecks of Rice Dao was not his enemy everywhere, he stole his popular support and made him unable to hold his head high in front of the people of Hanzhong.
In this case, can he have a good look on Wu Dou Mi Dao?
If there is no dignified county governor, how can there be officials under his command?
Once there was a problem with the Five Pecks of Rice Road, they were benevolent enough not to step on it.
Do you still expect these guys to help?
This catechumen still doesn’t quite understand the struggle between worldly beings!
Xiao Wen sighed with emotion, but didn't say much. He just listened to the villager's answer.
The content of his answer was the same as Xiao Wen's guess. It was just that those officials only cared about themselves, how could they think of helping?
As for the Taoist priests of the Five Pecks of Rice Road, it’s not like they didn’t take action.
The man who escaped from the mountains and asked for help was also infected with the disease and fell ill when he arrived at the county town. It was the Taoist priests who used talisman water to save his life.
It's a pity that Fu Shui can only hang his life, but can't cure it, so they can't help the epidemic in the mountain.
It is precisely because of this that such things have just reached the ears of Divine Doctor Zhang.
Doctor Zhang was compassionate and compassionate. After hearing this, he immediately gave the patient a silver needle to wake him up, and then asked him to lead the way into the mountains to treat the patient.
In fact, at that time, Zhang Zhongjing had no solution for that man's disease.
I just couldn't bear the death of hundreds of people in a village from the epidemic, so I took action.
Such a reckless move was naturally stopped by all the villagers in the village.
Zhang Zhongjing was their benefactor. Zhang Zhongjing could not take his own life seriously, but these villagers had to take Zhang Zhongjing's life seriously.
I just didn't expect that that gentleman actually built the plank road openly and crossed Chencang secretly.
Taking advantage of the darkness, he took the people away...
After listening to the explanations of these villagers, Xiao Wen and the others finally understood what happened.
"Master Mu, since Doctor Zhang has entered the mountain, let's go into the mountain to look for him."
"I wonder what Taoist Master Mu thinks?" Xiao Wen looked at Mu Chang'an and said.
Hearing this, Mu Changan nodded immediately, without any hesitation, and replied: "Sir, what you said makes sense. In this case, let's leave as soon as possible."
He Yi frowned slightly, but glanced at Xiao Wen secretly. After a moment of silence, he stepped forward and replied: "My lord, please be careful. If it is really an epidemic, I am afraid that the plague will be fierce and hurt my lord's body. We might as well let the old man
Are you going to search for it in the mountains alone?"
"Although the old man's medical skills are not as good as those of his junior brother, I still have four to five points of confidence. Even if he cannot be cured, he can protect himself."
"Sir, there is no need to say anything. This is what you are doing, not just for your own selfish desires, but also for the people in the mountains. I think you should be clear in your mind." Xiao Wen shook his head and said.
Knowing clearly that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the Tiger Mountains.
I'm afraid only my husband has such courage, right?
He Yi sighed in his heart, his eyes fell on Xiao Wen, but without much words, he bowed his hands and said:
"Since Sir has already said this, Yi Zi has no reason to persuade him any more. However, since there is a disease in the mountains, some preparations need to be made in advance. Please wait a moment and allow your subordinates to enter the city and purchase some herbs.
"
"Thank you sir."
Xiao Wen handed over his hand, but did not refuse. He just looked at Mu Changan.
Mu Changan understood this and immediately summoned a villager from the teaching center and asked him to take He Yi into the city to buy the necessary medicines.
In the evening, He Yi just came back.
When he came back, he had five sachets in his hand.
He kept one for himself and gave the remaining four to Xiao Wen, who handed them over to Mu Changan and Dian Wei.
The last one was left, but it was prepared for the person who led the way.
Although it was already evening, everyone still had no rest and was a little anxious to find Zhang Zhongjing.
The sudden outbreak of plague in the mountains was such a coincidence that it even gave people a hint of conspiracy.
Others don't know how the plague is triggered, but Xiao Wen knows it in his heart.
In ancient times, plagues were basically divided into two types: man-made and natural.
The former is when someone prepares the poison and then spreads it from person to person. Once the number of people poisoned reaches a certain number, it will naturally be regarded as a plague.
As for the latter, it is said that it occurs naturally, but in fact it is similar to what is thought.
Most of the time, during times of war or natural disasters, a large area of dead bodies appears in a certain area, and these dead bodies are not properly disposed of. Instead, lesions appear, and germs are derived, which are then spread through the air, causing trouble in one area.
These two types are the most common types of plague.
Of course, you can also conclude that both of these are man-made!
But, which kind of disease is suitable for this disease deep in the mountains?
the latter?
Obviously not!
former?
Or maybe!
It's hard to tell, but this is a deliberate plan.
Since they knew it was a conspiracy, they might be targeting Zhang Zhongjing, so they naturally had no reason to sit idly by.
I felt a little more urgent in my heart, so I found a villager who knew the way as a guide. He didn't ride a horse, but walked into the mountain holding a torch.
There are lush woods in the mountains, and there is a path, but it is just a piece of grass that has been trampled by a few more people.
There is a cold wind whistling in the mountain forest at night. When the night wind blows in, it echoes in the woods, which has a bit of a ghostly wind whistling.
It fell on the ears, which actually made the leading villager's hair stand on end.
The cultivation of Five Pecks of Rice is the art of ghosts and gods. As a disciple, although he has not practiced it, he has heard about it and believes in folk ghosts.
Now that he was suddenly frightened by the wind and didn't jump up immediately, he was already bold.
Looking back, he glanced at the four adults behind him who had normal expressions, and he finally felt calm.
Afraid?
What do I have to be afraid of!
What are there to be afraid of?
Didn't you see that there was a Taoist priest behind me? There were also three big shots following me, and they seemed to be afraid of ghosts.
If we are afraid, it is because ghosts are afraid of us!
When such thoughts flashed through his mind, he warned himself repeatedly in his heart. It took a long time to suppress the fear in his heart, and his whole person became calm, with his eyes full of indifference.
Suddenly, dark clouds covered the moon in the sky, and the mountain forest that originally had a few rays of light turned dark in an instant. Under the light of the torch, only three meters in front and back could be seen.
Suddenly, a fishy wind rushed from the side, very fast, but it came directly towards Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen looked calm, and Dian Wei on the side shouted loudly. The Xuanling War Halberd appeared in his hand in an instant, and without any hesitation, he immediately slashed it down.
When the halberd blade cut down, it was like a knife cutting through tofu without encountering any obstacles.
The black shadow was split into two and fell to the ground.
Under the light of the fire, one could see the small snake, which was as thick as a thumb and as long as a forearm.
The snake was black and gold, with sharp teeth at its mouth, and bat-like fleshy wings on both sides of its body. When it landed on the ground, it had a fishy smell.
"My lord, it's a snake." Dian Wei retracted his gaze, looked at Xiao Wen, and said.
Xiao Wen shook his head, turned to look at Mu Changan, and said to himself: "It's not a snake, it's a poison!"
"It seems that our initial guess was right. There is indeed something unclean in the mountain. Moreover, if the general guessed correctly, the doctor Zhang is in the village now, and the situation is very dangerous!" Xiao Wen said coldly.
.
insanity?
Hearing this, Dian Wei and He Yi had no reaction, but Mu Changan's eyes widened with a hint of wariness, obviously being extremely wary of this so-called "gu".
"Lord, what is Gu?" Dian Wei asked again.
"Gu is a branch of ancient witchcraft. It was spread from Jiuli and has been passed down to this day. In southern Xinjiang, there are no warlocks or doctors, only Gu masters and witches. And Gu insects are their common method.
one."
"Gu has many people and many functions. It can save people, harm people, kill people, and control people!"
"If there really is a Gu Master in this mountain, I'm afraid, Master Mu, we should have come across the plot of the hidden mission by chance."
Xiao Wen explained to everyone.
As for the last sentence, he said it specifically to Mu Changan.
He didn't remember when there was a witchcraft disaster in Yizhou.
However, now that they have met, there is obviously some hidden plot that he and others have come across.
Moreover, this is a plot that I have never known in my previous life.
interesting!
Xiao Wen's eyes shone, and he couldn't help but feel a bit competitive in his heart, wanting to rush forward and solve the plot mission.
On the side, Mu Changan listened, with a wry smile on his face.
The special plot mission really exceeded his expectations.
However, now that we have met, there is no reason to leave just like that.
"What the good man said makes sense. If that's the case, let's join hands and try it out!"
Speaking of this, a sharp light flashed through his eyes, but he felt a little more competitive in his heart.
Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he stretched out his hand involuntarily, put a hand on the shoulder of the villager who was leading the way, and pulled him back violently.
At the same time, his other hand reached out, and there was a buzzing sound from his sleeve, but he could see a long sword sliding out of his sleeve and being held in his hand.
Holding the long sword in his hand, he stabbed forward, and golden light suddenly bloomed on the sword. When the golden light surged, he could hear a roar coming from the darkness in front of him, and then he could hear the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
.
If you look carefully, you can see two Gu snakes falling on the ground a few meters in front of him, emitting black smoke, as if they are lifeless.
"Golden Light Spell! Wake up!"
Mu Changan shouted low, but he could see the golden light blooming on the sword, turning into a small eggshell circle, covering Xiao Wen and the four of them.
"It makes the good people laugh. The poor Taoist is at a low level, and the only skill he can use is the Golden Light Spell. Within this golden light shield, any attack by Gu insects below level 25 will lead to death."
Mu Changan explained, but there was no hint of arrogance.
After all, the person standing in front of him is the god-level powerhouse in the game today!
