Chapter 64 Gu epidemic
After settling in, Xu Mochen and Tang Derun left the inn and came to Ningtai City.

As expected of the capital of the former dynasty, even after the war, it has now recovered very prosperously.

"Ningzhou in the south of the Yangtze River is particularly rich." Tang Derun studied the information carefully, "In the troubled times, it was rarely attacked by war. It was when His Majesty finally unified, and the army came in.

However, His Majesty is kind and caring for the people of the former Southern Guard, so they recovered soon after the reunification.

Speaking of which, Ningzhou can be ranked among the top five in Dagan Country. "

However, these have nothing to do with Xu Mochen.

Most of the resources are intercepted by the immortal cultivators, and only one percent can be handed over to the imperial court.

In the past, he focused on unity and led troops to fight all day long. He always thought that after the troubled times, it would take time for the country to recover.

Now seeing the grand occasion of Ningzhou with my own eyes, I feel even more emotional in my heart.

No matter how prosperous the human race is, it is just a stepping stone for immortal cultivators.

"What are the main forces of immortal cultivators in Ningzhou?" Xu Mochen asked as he walked.

"There is a branch of the Mo League, after all, Ningzhou is a big continent," Tang Derun recalled, "there is also a more famous one, the Yingyue Sect of the Nether Realm, which is Shen Changfeng's sect.

Others, scattered sects and sects from all walks of life, are of different strengths and have a relatively neutral attitude towards the imperial court. "

Xu Mochen was silent for a while: "The resources are in the hands of Momeng and Yingyuezong. Do they know about Shen Changfeng?"

"Should know something, Shen Changfeng holds the soul pills, and has intersected with the cultivators here," Tang Derun frowned, "But I'm sorry for my incompetence, I haven't found out yet, who bought those soul pills."

"The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the embroidered clothes envoy is just a mortal. It would be nice to find clues." Xu Mochen didn't mean to blame, "Since we're here, it's only a matter of time before the truth comes out."

Tang Derun also thought so: "What Yingyue Sect said has little to do with King Ning, because they are supporters of the former Nanwei Kingdom."

It has something to do with the previous dynasty. It seems that the water in Ningzhou is very deep.

When the two came to a medical clinic, they saw a group of people crowded at the door, and the scene was a bit messy.

The clothes of these patients are not very bright, and they are obviously of low status.

Some people have fever, some have abdominal pain, and some keep vomiting. The symptoms are similar.

Xu Mochen turned his consciousness and scanned these people. What was rare was that he didn't find any abnormalities.

He glanced at Tang Derun, who also shook his head.

That is to say, according to the divine judgment, the cause of these people's illnesses is not due to foreign viruses and bacteria.

"My lord," Tang Derun said in a low voice, "I think it might be a Gu epidemic."

Gu, Xu Mochen has seen it in ancient books, it is a popular method in the south.

Among mortals, there are also ways to refine Gu.

However, the refinement of mortals is something that is difficult for the rulers of all dynasties, so all the year round, Gu refiners are often wanted by the imperial court.

Now, among mortals who are capable of refining Gu, Xu Mochen guesses that they are all from the Jianghu, that is, the ancient martial arts school, and there are only a few of them.

"My lord," Tang Derun also thought, "If it is a general Gu poison, it usually infects specific people, and the number is not much.

Such a large-scale disease is a Gu epidemic. I believe that it may have something to do with the immortal cultivators.

The Reflecting Moon Sect belongs to the Nether Realm, and has done a lot of research on this aspect. "

"Reminiscent of the plague in the capital not long ago," Xu Mochen sneered, "The words about this Gu plague should be written by the same person.

The purpose is to lure me here, and it is an unforgivable crime to sacrifice so many people for this! "

His face was rarely covered with anger. What he hated most was when immortal cultivators attacked mortals.

That's a dimensionality reduction attack, if you have the ability, come to me.

If a Gu worm enters the body of a mortal, it belongs to the community where it lives, and is basically regarded as a part of the human body.

If it is bigger, the spiritual consciousness can be identified, but if it is still a bug egg, it is normal that the spiritual consciousness cannot be analyzed.

The two went to other medical centers, and saw the same scene.

Xu Mochen roughly knew it in his mind: "There are rivers and waters outside Ningtai City. Look at these people, they are all the people who are active in that area."

There are mud and water plants on shoes, trouser legs and other places.

Tang Derun's eyes lit up: "My lord thinks that Gu plague comes from the water source."

"It's just speculation, you have to see it to find out." Xu Mochen's attitude has always been objective and pragmatic.

After asking the people in the city, they pointed out a way, and the two stopped by a small town outside the city.

There are large paddy fields in the town, and there is a river around it, and many fishing boats go back and forth on the river.

In the paddy fields and in the river, there are bare-chested commoners working.

The water in the paddy field is taken from the river, and you can see several small water wheels, which are turning to draw water.

Xu Mochen's consciousness swept across the paddy field, and he could clearly feel that there were a lot of things like frogs, fish, and snails in it.

These are all common things in the waters of the south of the Yangtze River.

One by one, it seems that there is no problem.

But Xu Mochen didn't dare to take it lightly. Before the Gu worms hatched, they could hide themselves very well, so their spiritual sense might not be useful.

But he comes from the 21st century, and when taking samples for analysis, there is another important indicator: that is homology.

That is to say, analogies of the same kind keep appearing repeatedly, and that may be the problem.

He walked along the paddy fields, his spiritual sense swept over one by one, and finally came to the edge of the river, carefully perceiving every plant and tree under the water.

Gradually, his frowning brows eased away.

He remembered one thing, even in his time, there was still no infectious disease completely eradicated.

Schistosomiasis!
In his memory, in his era, schistosomiasis was largely controlled or even eliminated through the great efforts of predecessors.

However, in the 21st century, people are still infected in problem waters.

However, at the beginning, the lethality rate of schistosomiasis was not low.

In his time, it could be treated and prevented.

If it was a schistosome, Xu Mochen was silent.

The antibiotics developed by the National Medical Center cannot resist this disease.

Shen Changfeng!It should be beheaded!

"My lord," Tang Derun looked at his uncertain expression, "Is there a result?"

He is an immortal cultivator in the world of monsters and beasts, and he is not very proficient in the techniques of Gu insects in the Nether Realm.

"Well, it's just a guess." Xu Mochen continued to move forward, came to a relatively remote corner, pointed to the water, "Have you seen those small snails, I guess they are the cause.

They are intermediate carriers. There are eggs called schistosomes in their bodies. After hatching, they are in the water and can enter the human body through drinking and skin invasion.

Then it reproduces and hatches in the human body, causing various deadly diseases.

If it reaches the later stage, people's stomach will be full of worms, and it will bulge, just like being pregnant. "

Listening to Tang Derun, his scalp couldn't help but feel a little numb.

This Gu epidemic is so powerful.
