Why do we say that ordinary heroic spirits are arbitrary for eternity?

Chapter 34 Summoned again! The magic medicine is here!
  The plague in the late Eastern Han Dynasty caused immeasurable losses.

"Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Chapter [-], Five Elements and Five" records that in the forty-six years from the fourth year of Emperor Ling's Jianning to the twenty-second year of Emperor Xian's Emperor Jian'an, there were six national epidemics.

There were countless plagues that broke out in various places.

This plague lasted until the Western Jin Dynasty and the early Eastern Jin Dynasty.

A plague that lasted for more than a hundred years.

Coupled with never-ending wars and various natural and man-made disasters.

This directly reduced the original population of more than [-] million to only more than [-] million, a reduction of a full [-] million!

Of course, a large number of people died due to war, famine, and various natural disasters, but even more people died due to plague.

There is more than one type of plague: typhoid fever, but typhoid fever is the main force in many plagues.

Zhang Zhongjing mentioned in his book "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" that he had more than [-] tribesmen. In less than ten years, two-thirds of them died, and [-]% of them died of typhoid fever.

This shows the horror of typhoid fever.

Even Zhang Zhongjing, who was revered as the "Medical Sage", was helpless against typhoid fever. A "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" was a drop in the bucket. Although it had epoch-making significance, it could not stop the typhoid plague from ravaging.

Research and investigation in the past few days.

Only then did Lu Yu realize that the so-called typhoid fever was completely different from his speculation.

Typhoid fever in the modern medical sense refers to a type of acute intestinal infectious disease caused by Salmonella typhi.

However, typhoid fever at this time did not have a clear definition, and it included a wide range.

From a small perspective, diseases such as the common cold, influenza, and pneumonia that are "caused by exogenous cold evil" with symptoms such as cough and fever are all typhoid fever.

Broadly speaking, all exogenous fevers belong to typhoid fever, including many severe and infectious diseases called "plagues".

"Huangdi Neijing - Su Wen - Heat Lun Chapter" says: "Today's fever diseases are all caused by typhoid fever."

"Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases" also says: "Injury to the qi of the four seasons, warm in spring, hot in summer, cool in autumn and cold in winter, can all lead to disease. For those who treat typhoid fever as a poison, it is the most murderous qi, and the disease will occur when it is in the middle." The latter is typhoid fever."

People with typhoid fever have different symptoms, ranging from mild to severe. With the medical conditions of this era, it is simply unrealistic to cure typhoid fever.

Therefore, people can only place their hopes on the talisman of Taipingdao.

In the past few days, Lu Yu had seen many symptoms of typhoid fever.

I also saw a lot of desperate people.

In Taiping Dao, the sounds of coughing and prayers reciting the teachings of Taiping Dao cycled alternately, which seemed particularly strange.

In such an environment, even people like Wei Ergou began to ask Kong Yue, who had read books, about the teachings of Taiping Tao. How should he behave to appear more pious?
  Lu Yu couldn't help but want to laugh when he listened to Wei Ergou's reciting voice in some dialects and the other people getting off track.

After the recitation was completed, Lu Yu called Wei Ergou and asked directly: "Do you really believe in the teachings of Taiping Dao and the talisman water?"

Wei Ergou replied helplessly: "Brother, don't you believe that there are other ways? Also, brother, please don't say this outside."

Naturally, Lu Yu would not say this to outsiders casually.

He glanced at Wei Ergou and asked a very subtle question.

“What if I could come up with a medicine that would cure most people with typhoid fever?”

Hearing this, Wei Ergou's eyes widened, and then he whispered: "Brother, you will be the new great virtuous teacher from now on."

This is not a joke.

If Lu Yu could come up with a magic medicine to cure typhoid fever.

His prestige and reputation will definitely skyrocket to an unprecedented level in an instant!
  Even if you start a new business, you will still have a large number of followers!
  Seeing that his eldest brother Lu Yu was really deep in thought, as if he was wondering whether to be the new great sage or not, Wei Ergou showed an expression of disbelief and opened his mouth so wide that he could almost stuff an apple into it.

Wei Ergou quickly asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you really have that kind of medicine?"

Lu Yu shook his head: "I just said it casually."

When Wei Ergou heard this, he suddenly showed a helpless smile: "Brother, don't make such a joke casually, you scared me!"

Lu Yu waved his hand, sent Wei Ergou away, and walked back alone.

"If antibiotics can be produced, most typhoid patients should be cured, right?"

"But it's not that difficult to make antibiotics in this era."

"There are no antibiotics in the information collected from the rich woman. Obviously, they classified this item as a technological product after the industrial revolution."

"However, I remember that there are some home-made antibiotics..."    "For the current stage of typhoid fever, home-made antibiotics should be the best antidote!"

"As long as we can get it out, a lot of people will die."

"However, the most important thing is whether it can be done..."

"We have to wait until the next summons. If this time it is still a month, it will be a bit late."

Just when Lu Yu was thinking about this, he suddenly felt something and said with some surprise: "Huh? You were summoned again so soon this time?"

Lu Yu quickly returned to his residence.

……

Bai Yuyao summoned with some anxiety.

She was a little worried whether her request would make her heroic spirit dissatisfied, but even so, she still had to ask.

After all, the father's safety is related to the rise and fall of the entire family.

From a young age, she has always enjoyed the various benefits brought by her family and has always been regarded as the apple of everyone's eye.

But she never had a chance to give back to her family.

But this time, she had to stand up.

Seeing Lu Yu's slowly emerging shadow, Bai Yuyao said nervously: "I summoned you here so quickly because I have something to ask you."

When Lu Yu heard this, he asked strangely: "What's going on?"

It turns out something happened, no wonder it was summoned so quickly this time.

"That's it." Bai Yuyao said quickly: "My father is going to a secret place with several of his friends. There is an ancient tomb and the burial place of an ancient power, so it can be said to be full of crises. "

"I listened to them talking about this matter. It seems that they really need the knowledge related to Feng Shui to judge the various risks in the secret area."

"The danger level of this secret realm is the most dangerous among all secret realms."

"Even though my father and others only plan to explore the outside this time and will not explore in depth, I am still a little worried."

"So, can I teach my father the secret technique of Yin and Yang Feng Shui that you taught me?"

"I also understand that the law should not be spread to outsiders, but this is related to my father's safety. I hope I can make an exception."

Bai Yuyao asked cautiously, always observing the changes in Lu Yu's expression.

Lu Yu's expression remained calm. He only thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

"Is it really okay?!" Bai Yuyao jumped up happily when she heard this. She smiled and said, "That's great! Thank you! You are really great!"

"But..." Lu Yu said.

"But what?" Bai Yuyao's heart suddenly rose again.

"You have to help me find some more information." Lu Yu said.

"Just like last time?" Bai Yuyao asked.

"Yeah." Lu Yu nodded.

"That's it, this is a small matter, I will contact you now!!"

Bai Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought that Lu Yu was going to put forward some harsh conditions, but she didn't expect that it was just this. It was not a condition at all.

Hehe, my heroic spirit is really considerate!

soon.

After simple communication.

Lu Yu got the information he wanted.

Among this pile of unreliable home-made antibiotics, he actually found a relatively reliable method!

"There is..."

"The magic medicine to solve the plague actually exists!"
