Chapter 146 The Plague
There are many temples all over the world, the reason is that the talk of gods and ghosts is no stranger to ordinary people.

The more chaotic the world, the more miserable the life, the purer the belief, the less cautious. After all, the real misery is that there is nothing to do except pray to the gods and ghosts, and when the bitterness is in the heart, any sweetness is a gift from the gods and ghosts.

At this time, in the ruined temple in the mountain.

Whoohoo!
The wind howled.

The gust of wind carried the chill through the cracks, rattling the windows, and the flames in the center of the temple were also suppressed a bit.

Bang!

Through the hole in the window, the moment before the thunder, the sky and the earth are all white.

After Lin Mo and his party entered the house, they found a wind-shielding corner to rest, and found a few wooden boards to fill in the wind leaks around them.

I didn't dislike the dirt, so I found a haystack and sat down, listening to the crackling of the flames, accompanied by the sound of rain, my heart seemed unprecedentedly peaceful.

In the temple, the old man and the young girl were very quiet, and they were resting by the fire by themselves.

On the other hand, the men on the other side were more talkative, chatting with Lin Mo and the others one after the other, and thus learned that the bold man in the lead was named Xiao Shan.

With a group of people who are allied with blood, burned three sticks of incense, and worshiped brothers of the opposite sex.

Compared with Lin Mo and the others who relied on the mountains to eat all the way, they would hunt animals to eat when they were hungry, and they had nothing else on their bodies, but Xiao Shan and others brought a lot more things.

Not only flint, lamp oil, but also a lot of dry food.

Chatting with Lin Mo and the others had a great time, and when they heard that they hadn't eaten yet, they greeted them to eat scones together.

However, before baking the pancakes, they took out the cloth bags from their bosom one by one, poured some green powdery matter, then poured water from the water bag, mixed it into a sticky paste, and solemnly covered it on the bread.

The action of covering the bread is meticulous, without leaving anything empty, just like a devout monk paying homage to the Buddha.

Finally, after carefully checking that there were no omissions, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to skewer naan scones.

But at this time, the noodle has become green and oily, the appearance is very bad, and it exudes a pungent smell like a toilet, which makes people no longer have the slightest appetite.

This scene made Lin Mo and the others, as well as the grandpa and grandson on the other side, stupefied, completely unaware of what they were doing.

"Brother Xiao, what's going on with your whole trip, isn't the seasoning too strong?"

Lin Mo, who was running the Tiger Demon Tempering Bone Art, asked jokingly after Xiao Shan had settled everything.

From time to time, his eyes glanced at the noodle beside the fire pit.

At this time, the noodles are roasted at high temperature, and the original toilet-like smell becomes even weirder.

To be honest, a little over the top.

"This is not a condiment, but a life-saving thing!

Don't underestimate this small bag, if it is placed in Qingfeng County today, it will be worth at least this amount. "

Xiao Shan chuckled, opened his hand and compared five fingers.

"Five taels of silver?" Lin Mo asked tentatively.

Xiao Shan shook his head, "In the past, five taels of silver could be bought, but now there is no market for it, and no one is willing to sell it."

He sighed, his face full of loneliness.

But after all, he was a bold person, but the next moment he laughed and looked at Lin Mo.

"What are you talking about? Money and other things, you don't bring them with you when you die, just enough is enough, and it's the same for a person in his life, as long as he is comfortable!
Haha, Brother Lin, why don't you try it first?Although the plague powder smells really disgusting, but after it is baked, when you pinch your nose, you can drink it as a traditional Chinese medicine. "

"I'm not hungry right now."

Although the 'failing' poisonous arm on his right hand is already immune to most poisons, Lin Mo really can't help but eat this kind of food that smells like flying.

What's more, it was made by a stranger, even if it seems that his temper is the most pleasing and reckless persona.

"Brother Lin, you shouldn't be from Qingfeng County, hehe, speaking of it, it's better on Lin Yu's side, how can you live and work in peace and contentment like Qingfeng when the five grains are abundant?"

Xiao Shan sighed, flipping the naan in his hand, and brought up the topic.

"Oh? The plague in Qingfeng County is still not cured? There has been no news recently, and I thought it was over."

Speaking of Qingfeng County, Lin Mo became interested. After all, when he traveled from Ningyang to Lin Yu, he happened to pass through Qingfeng.

It's just that under Ye Lao's persuasion, he went directly to the secret path of Huai Huishan, but he just missed it.

Looking at Xiaoshan's appearance, it seems that after such a long time, Qingfeng's plague has not only not improved, but has become more serious?
"Hey! There is no news, of course if there is no news, if the news spreads, the people in the surrounding counties will not be able to sleep at ease!"

Xiao Shan smiled, but the smile was very cold, revealing his white teeth:

"Now Qingfeng County has been completely sealed off. No entry or exit is allowed! An extinct area has been created, and anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy. What news do you think will come out?

If it wasn't for our brothers who happened to be hunting on the mountain at that time and knew a secret way, we would have closed the city for a day and came out overnight, maybe we wouldn't have been able to reach Lin Yu. "

Lin Mo and the others were startled, and Lin Meng, who was sitting outside, even touched his head, muttering, 'So serious? '

"What do you think? The cause of this plague has not yet been understood, and the way of transmission is even more unpredictable. At first, it was children, and then it was the elderly,

Once infected with the plague, symptoms of dizziness, coughing, blurred vision, and soaring body temperature will appear in the first few days, and after a while, you will lose your mind, deny your relatives, bite the madman, and become too powerful to be cured.”

There were no other sounds in the ruined temple, only Xiao Shan's soft voice and the crackling of flames.

Lin Mo was startled. He just felt that this plague was a bit like the T virus in a movie and drama in his previous life. After the infection, all the infected people turned into zombies?
Seeing that Xiao Shan was silent, he hurriedly continued to ask: "Didn't the Xu family in Ningyang send a pharmacist there?"

"I didn't expect Brother Lin to know this."

Xiao Shan glanced at Lin Mo, then continued:
"Indeed, I went. After working for three or four days, several old pharmacists with white hair and beards negotiated a decoction for eliminating plague.

It was quite useful at the beginning, many people with fever and cough gradually returned to normal, but when everyone relaxed their vigilance, those who seemed to be cured suddenly turned into living dead, biting everyone,

There was quite a commotion at the time.”

He sighed again.

Some people thought they had recovered, so they took it lightly and refused to be isolated and guarded. Under the outrage of the people, Zhou Shengjun had no choice but to agree.

The result was that the condition suddenly deteriorated, and he lost his mind all of a sudden. Most of the victims were relatives of the patient's family. It is not an exaggeration to say that the ending was a human tragedy.

"Furthermore, something happened in Ningyang. Several great pharmacists of the Xu family left overnight, and the plague became more serious. Finally, the city was sealed off, and this is the situation we are in now."

Everyone's faces became no longer good-looking, and those with a brain can imagine the tragedy after a little thought.

"As for the plague powder."

Xiao Shan shook the cloth bag in his hand.

"It was left behind by several great pharmacists of the Xu family before they left. It is said that it was made from mirage ash and green heart grass, plus some medicinal herbs.

In addition to plague powder and water, when eating and drinking, it can poison the plague insects. If the strength can support it, and then sprinkle it in the gaps and residences, the effect will be even better.

But it’s good that this thing just came out, the price is ten yuan a bag, most people can afford it, but after the city was closed, the price suddenly increased, fifty yuan, one hundred yuan, ten taels.
Ordinary people just wipe a little while eating. "

Xiao Shan smiled wryly.

Lin Mo was silent.

He has read a lot of medicines now, and he can roughly see the origin of this plague powder: the main ingredients are mirage powder and green heart grass,
Mirage is also a big clam. Mirage powder is the ashes of mirage shells. It really has the effect of repelling insects. Ordinary poisonous insects will avoid it when they feel its energy. Green Heart Grass is also simple, a common herbal medicine, and its effect is to cleanse the heart. Eyesight, calm mind.

It can be regarded as prescribing the right medicine, but to some extent.
However, Lin Mo didn't ask whether the plague powder was useful after all. In fact, Zhou Shengjun's closure of the city already explained the answer.

Maybe the effect is there, but it is more of a kind of life sustenance, representing hope.

Boom!

At this time, a thunderbolt struck outside the temple, and Xiao Shan's face in the house was illuminated as white as snow.

Xiao Shan laughed at the right time, his pale appearance was a bit strange,
He ate the noodle in his hand one bite at a time, and without drinking water, he swallowed hard, without frowning at all, and finally swallowed it, coughed twice, and said leisurely:
"I heard that Zhou Shengjun spread the news some time ago, and he will come up with a solution immediately. I don't know if it is true. Let's hope."

After finishing speaking, he handed another string of baked naan to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo shook his head.

Pass it to Lin Yuanqiao and others.

All shook their heads.

"It seems that I really don't want to try it, haha."

He smiled, not feeling embarrassed.

I just continued to eat hard, swallowed, and while eating, my eyes slowly turned red, I don't know what I thought of.

In the back, there was no talk, nothing to say all night, and everyone waited for the rain to stop.

At this time, outside Huaiping County, there was a deep valley.

A young man with a handsome face in white clothes and a team of elite soldiers came to this place. In the eyes of ordinary people, he was not very famous at all, just a small valley with white mist all the year round.

The young man walked to the valley, looked at the word 'Dongzhen' hidden under the green vines, nodded, not afraid of the thick white mist in front of him, screened the crowd behind him, and jumped in one step.

Its body exudes a hazy yellow luster, and as soon as Fang stepped into the white mist, the white mist that was originally as thick as water suddenly parted.

There are only two thatched huts, a fence wall, and a vegetable field next to the well, which grows vegetables that the teenager does not know.

 I wrote [-] words last night, I deleted it because of some problems, sorry sorry
