Half an hour later, in the side hall of the palace.
"What? Ghost plague?!"
Bai Yunsheng slapped the chair and shouted in surprise.
"Yes." Sima Ruling nodded heavily, "This disease was discovered a month ago. Someone in Yunxia City suddenly had black energy and turned into a ghost. People who came into contact with them were also quickly infected.
Plague. The ghost plague spread extremely fast. In less than ten days, half of Yunxia City had turned into a ghost place on earth. Yunxia’s envoys went to the Flame Mountain to seek help from the leader. We then went down the mountain to burn those infected with the ghost plague in Nancheng.
Die, and then set up a barrier along the Qingyun River to stop the patients in Beicheng."
Except for the expressionless Murong Chen, Bai Yunsheng and Xiang Wujian all shook their heads in shock after hearing this. Bai Yunsheng said:
"It's really unbelievable that a disease like ghost plague really exists in the world."
He once read the "Book of Changes", which contains simple records about ghost plague. According to legend, if a person is obsessed with resentment after death, he will turn into a ghost and stay in the world. Once a person is infected by their corpse energy,
If infected, they will lose their humanity and become half-human, half-ghost monsters, and practitioners cannot avoid it.
This disease often occurs in places with many tombs. It has been heard in the Nebula Desert and the Demon Realm, but there is no cure for it recorded in the Book of Changes.
"Brother Chen Feng is exactly what he said. The ghost plague is strange and difficult to prevent. At present, we have no good way to solve this problem."
Sima Ruling called the pseudonym Bai Yunsheng had just given and said with a worried look on his face.
"Why not just kill those people?"
Murong Chen, who was wearing a veil, spoke coldly, and was immediately implicated in killing, and her indifferent expression and tone were even more shocking.
Sima Ruling looked at Murong Chen with slight dissatisfaction, thinking to himself: This little girl's murderous intention is actually stronger than mine.
Later he explained:
"Although the people in Beicheng have lost their humanity due to the ghost plague, they are not evil people after all. We are trying our best to find ways to cure this disease. If we don't understand the cause, we must not increase the number of killings."
"Hmph, do you still need a reason to kill someone?" Murong Chen said with cold eyes, disdainfully.
As soon as Bai Yunsheng saw something was wrong, he secretly exchanged glances with Xiang Wujian, signaling to leave as soon as possible to investigate.
Xiang Wujian was also quite helpless at Murong Chen's changes. He took a deep breath and was about to stand up and say something, when something unexpected happened around him!
"Killing...do you need a reason?"
An eerie and hoarse voice sounded from Xiang Wujian's ears. He and Bai Yunsheng looked over hurriedly, breaking out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, Murong Chen was covered in black energy. Wisps of black energy climbed up her face like earthworms and turned into strange magic lines. Her eyes were sunken, her lips were dead and her teeth were exposed. She looked like a fierce ghost!
"It's corpse gas! She's infected with ghost plague!"
Sima Ruling stared at the sick Murong Chen, and immediately burst out his karma, sacrificing the sword behind him.
"call!"
Fiery flames spit out from the blade and slashed towards Murong Chen.
"Bang!"
A stream of dark blue water blocked the fiery blade, and the cold karma knocked Sima Ruling back. Xiang Wujian stood in front of Murong Chen with the Sky-Aweing Sword in his hand, narrowing his eyes and said:
"What do you want to do?"
Without making a move, Bai Yunsheng had already arrived at Murong Chen's side and used the Jiuli Jade to encase her in a colorful barrier.
When Sima Ruling saw that he was blocked, he immediately said angrily:
"She has been infected and must be eliminated as soon as possible! Otherwise, Nancheng will be in danger!"
It's a pity that Xiang Wujian ignored his anger at all, crossed the Tianwei Sword and said indifferently: "My friend does not need you to deal with it!"
After saying that, she turned back to look at Murong Chen, who was transforming into a ghost. Her whole body was shaking violently, and she was roaring in her throat. It was obvious that she had not completely lost her mind, but she couldn't resist this situation for much longer.
At the critical moment, Bai Yunsheng decided to take the risk and give it a try. He stretched out his right hand and slowly penetrated the barrier, and a wisp of black karma seeped out from his fingertips and swam toward Murong Chen.
"Stop it! You'll get infected if you touch her!"
Although Sima Ruling was angry, he also shouted anxiously at Bai Yunsheng, but Xiang Wujian did not stop him. He knew that Bai Yunsheng must have a reason for doing so.
As soon as the wisp of black karma hit the corpse energy, it began to devour it wildly. This move indeed had some effect, and soon Murong Chen's shaking calmed down a lot.
After a while, Bai Yunsheng withdrew his palm. What he destroyed was only the corpse energy outside the body. He did not dare to swallow the corpse energy that had penetrated into Murong Chen's body, fearing that it would damage Murong Chen's heart.
But in this case, a few people had no other options.
At this anxious time.
"Let me do it."
A voice as gentle as water suddenly flowed into Bai Yunsheng's heart. This voice seemed to have a strange energy, making his whole body and heart tremble violently.
Bai Yunsheng immediately turned around and looked at Xiang Wujian together. The anxiety in the former's black pupils solidified, froze, diluted, and dissipated in an instant, turning into complete sluggishness.
Outside the palace gate, I saw a beautiful white figure standing there.
The white clothes are like mist, the green silk is flying down the waterfall, and the black eyes cut through the water like lotus flowers.
This sight was like a dream, and Xiang Wujian was stunned when he saw it, his blue eyes flashing with unbelievable surprise.
Fortunately, there is still a sober person in the side hall.
When Sima Ruling saw the person, he was surprised and said:
"Doctor Mu came just in time, please save her!"
The woman nodded slightly and moved towards the sick Murong Chen. Bai Yunsheng stared at the woman with his eyes, until his neck turned so hard that he could no longer turn, and then he moved.
At this moment, Bai Yunsheng had already forgotten about Murong Chen.
His trembling lips repeated and muttered over and over again, recalling the appearance of that person, unable to believe what he saw with his eyes.
Because the woman who appeared in front of him now, so close at hand, actually looked exactly like the dead Mu Chengxue!
The woman ignored Bai Yunsheng's madness and walked quietly to Murong Chen. She picked up her fingers and held up a ball of soft white light. In the white light, there was a snow-white flower bud blooming.
In an instant, a stream of extremely pure karma spread out from the petals, flowing down from Murong Chen's heavenly spirit and around his whole body. Soon, the black energy that surged onto Murong Chen's face disappeared, and his sunken eye sockets gradually gained sight.
The whole person also regained some of his energy.
The white-haired woman took back her karma, turned to Xiang Wujian and whispered softly: "The corpse energy in her body has been resolved, and she can recover after a few days of rest."
From beginning to end, he never even glanced at Bai Yunsheng.
Xiang Wujian, who was also stuck in a sluggish state, suddenly woke up, looked at the smile on the woman's face, and responded awkwardly: "Thank you Mu... the miracle doctor saved the life, Nan Sheng is very grateful."
The woman smiled slightly, nodded slightly, and then left the side hall.
"etc!!"
At this time, Bai Yunsheng seemed to be waking up from a dream. He stared at the woman's back with bright eyes and asked in a trembling voice:
"Who is the girl?"
But at this moment, Sima Ruling recited Bai Yunsheng's "pseudonym" and interrupted:
"Chen Feng, this is the miracle doctor Mu invited by Yunxiaguo. You must not..."
"Shut up!!"
Bai Yunsheng's black eyes froze, and he spat out the two words "ice" coldly. The murderous aura that penetrated the bones was frightening to the soul, and a fear like falling into an ice cave rushed from his toes to Sima's heavenly spirit.
Xiang Wujian's heart also trembled.
It had been a long time since he had seen Bai Yunsheng's true murderous aura. In the past, whether in Jingzhou or Wuyun Mountain, Bai Yunsheng could only have such aura after going berserk. Unexpectedly, he could now control it freely.
It's like being caught in the winter wind in the side hall with three floors inside and outside.
"well."
After a while, a soft sigh was like a drop of hot tears falling on a thin layer of ice, slowly melting the almost solid atmosphere in the side hall.
The woman in white turned her head slightly, looked at Bai Yunsheng from the corner of her eyes, and whispered:
"Come with me."
Bai Yunsheng suppressed his murderous intent and followed the woman out of the side hall.
When the confused Sima Ruling looked at the two people leaving and wanted to say something, Xiang Wujian had already picked up the unconscious Murong Chen and said to him:
"Brother Sima, is there a place to rest here?"
Sima Ruling came back to his senses, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he hurriedly said: "Of course, Brother Nansheng, please come with me."
With that said, the three of them left the side hall through the north exit.
