After that, Wu Xian took out a handful of barley. The white and yellow barley is indeed a good way to remove dampness.
"This is coix seed, which is an essential food in Shiwanda Mountain. In addition, the red pepper taught by the king also has a very good effect in dispelling miasma."
Di Xin looked at the barley. It was obvious that Wu Xian knew how to survive in a humid environment.
"Besides this miasma, it's just that the mountains are humid and full of insects, and malaria is very easy to get. What can we do?"
Malaria is an incurable disease in this era. Although Di Xin also knows that the best way to treat this disease is turmeric, but it is not available now.
Wu Xian then took out a kind of powder and said, "This is the insect repellent powder I made. If you mix it with water and take it, snakes and insects will not dare to come near it within a week."
After thinking for a while, he added, "The barbarians living in the mountains are indeed naturally resistant to malaria, but it would be really difficult for the Yin Shang soldiers to get into them."
As the saying goes, a good man cannot stand up to three bad things. Although Wu Xian has a method to treat malaria, in general, it is not applicable to a large area, which is why it is difficult to treat.
Di Xin smiled and said, "I have a way to solve this problem, but I still have one question."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Now that the Witch God Sect is encountering difficulties, why don't they ask for help from the Witch Clan in the underworld, but instead ask for help from the human king Gu? This is not like what the Great Witch Zhu did."
Before he understood Wu Xian's purpose, Di Xin was still very cautious.
"If the great witch Zhu says something to deceive me, please forgive me."
"this……"
Wu Xian thought for a long time and murmured, "Your Majesty, although it was originally founded by those half-witches, today, the bloodline of the elders and disciples of the sect has become very thin, and even the witches can no longer be transformed.
, If you completely fall in line with the Witch Clan, why would you be a human being?"
Wu Xian has lived in the Yin and Shang Dynasties all year round, and his heart has long been towards the human race, which is completely different from the Wu race who eat them alive.
In fact, there is one thing Wu Xian missed. Nowadays, there are many disciples of the Wushen Cult like him who do not want to return to the Wushen Cult. Even within the Wushen Cult, this voice always surrounds the hearts of all Wu Zhu.
They think that they only believe in the Witch God Cult and God. As for themselves, most of them still think that they are human beings.
"What a human being!"
When Di Xin heard these four words, he already recognized this great witch Zhu in his heart.
When Kong Xuan and Shen Gongbao heard these four words, they looked at each other.
"Guhui will send troops to pacify Shiwandashan, but Gu wants the remaining nine witches to return to Chaoge in order to face the upcoming calamity."
As soon as Wu Xian heard this, he immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
"As for malaria, this is the only way to prevent it."
Di Xin rummaged around and found some inconspicuous powder among the numerous materials.
Wu Xian was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Quicklime?"
"Haha, yes, this quicklime is a good thing. It is suitable for treating malaria."
What Di Xin did not explain is that after the quicklime is blended into the water, it has a disinfecting effect. After drinking the purified water, it can naturally reduce the chance of malaria.
Of course, this is not absolute. Then Di Xin found some more Artemisia annua and said, "This Artemisia annua can also treat malaria, but this effect needs to be dealt with."
After that, Di Xin, the miracle doctor, discussed malaria back and forth with Wu Xian. Wu Xian was so surprised by Di Xin's knowledge that he even treated Di Xin like a student and asked for advice on how to cure the disease and save lives.
Kong Xuan and Shen Gongbao listened patiently at first. Later, as Emperor Xin and Wu Xian discussed treating diseases and saving people, it was like listening to a book from heaven. They finally understood some of it, but later they forgot all about it.
After several hours of discussion, the plan was finally finalized, including quicklime and charcoal for drinking water, artemisia annua for treating diseases, insect repellent powder for repelling poisonous insects, and coix kernels and red pepper provided by the daily military rations.
After all considerations, Di Xin left the Ghost and God Ancestral Temple with satisfaction.
…
When leaving, Kong Xuan asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you want to go there in person for this trip to the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"
"Compared to Shiwandashan, I want to go to Yangcheng more, so I plan to let Feihu go there."
Di Xin thought about it for a while and felt that the Hundred Thousand Mountains was not that difficult. What he had to deal with was just some malaria and miasma. As for those who had the blood of the Witch Clan in the Witch God Religion, there was nothing to worry about.
"Your Majesty, please don't be careless."
Shen Gongbao always felt that there was something fishy in this, but he didn't know what the problem was, so he warned it.
When Di Xin heard what Shen Gongbao said, he paused and said, "In that case, I have to trouble Mr. Kong to go there this time."
"Ha, that's exactly what I meant."
Kong Xuan looked respectful, while Di Xin nodded.
With Kong Xuan, a being who is close to a quasi-sage, Huang Feihu is safe this time.
…
When Di Xin returned to the palace, Queen Jiang, who had made preparations early, once again wanted to reward these soldiers who had fought in the south and north with food.
The hot hot pot is perfect in this cold season.
Emperor Xin sat high on the throne, and next to him were Queen Jiang, Concubine Huang, Concubine Yang, and the new concubine Su Daji, who naturally also got her own seat.
Below him are the lone and important minister Wen Taishi and Wucheng King Huang Feihu, standing on the left and right respectively, followed by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
The seven Yuan Hong brothers in a corner also saw such a grand banquet for the first time. Dai Li, who coveted the graceful maid, and Zhu Zizhen, who was gluttonous, were dazzled by the scene and couldn't be complacent.
"Brother, this beef slice is delicious."
Jin Dasheng was simmering the beef slices while devouring it, without feeling the same desolation at all.
Monks like them, who are aliens, have no mercy when it comes to animals without intelligence. Of course, this has always been criticized by the human race, who think that they have no virtue.
In fact, the human race is not like this. When they look at those monkeys, they never think that monkeys are their own kind.
"Brother, this mutton slice is also delicious."
Even Yang Xian thought it was delicious. Yuan Hong couldn't help but sigh when he looked at his brothers.
Compared to Yuan Futong, the seven brothers have reached the top of their game, but they don't know how long this kind of glory and wealth can last.
"Yuan Hong!"
Yuan Hong was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Di Xin walking over.
"Your Majesty!"
"I want to conquer your brothers and fight against the Hundred Thousand Mountains. What do you think?"
"Don't dare to disobey the king's orders!"
Yuan Hong was very happy. Emperor Xin laughed and secretly sighed that Yuan Hong's personality has changed drastically now, but he is no longer a domineering person, but he still needs to be beaten appropriately.
"Come here, give me some wine. I want to have a few drinks with Yuan Hong."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Di Xin then drank a few more drinks with Yuan Hong, which immediately attracted the attention of interested people.
