Westward Journey into Dragon

Chapter 320 The Plague
In half a day, Chen Xian flew a million miles from the southern border of Nanbuzhou to the inland area, and arrived at the foot of Mount Hua.

Turning around in the mountains, he came to Yang Chan's former cave. Seeing the cave gate hidden by Zhilan, Chen Xian smiled slightly and stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Who is it?" After a rude shout, the stone door slowly opened, and a middle-aged Taoist priest from Angzang came out.

"Old thief Ming Yu, don't you remember your savior?" Chen Xian said with a smile, this Ming Yu was obviously the coolie who once stole Yang Chan's Transformation Pill and was caught by Yang Chan to take care of the flowers and plants in the cave—Ming Yu.

Perhaps it was because Ming Yu was old and dim-sighted and didn't know the face of an expert. Maybe it was because of Chen Xian's temperamental change. Ming Yu didn't recognize Chen Xian. When he heard Chen Xian scolding him, he actually said that he was an "old thief", and his face immediately blushed. , Cursed: "Where is the hairy boy, dare to be presumptuous in front of the San Shengmu!" Ming Yu said, then stretched out his hands and grabbed Chen Xian's shoulder.

Chen Xian smiled and didn't move, just stood there, but Ming Yu's hand reached three feet in front of him, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't press down an inch, as if there was an invisible wall of air blocking him.

"I said you bastard, if it wasn't for me, you would have had the chance to become a coolie who took care of the flowers and plants in the cave for Chan'er, and you would have the chance to become a fit monk, and you could live forever?" Chen Xian said cursingly.

"Are you Yulongzi?" Ming Yu asked uncertainly with rounded eyes.

"Yulongzi..." Chen Xian said with a little sigh, "I haven't used this dao name for a long time."

"Hey, what are you standing there for, you old thief, why don't you welcome me in?" After sighing for a while, Chen Xian couldn't help asking puzzled when he found Ming Yu was still standing in front like a door god.

"This is the cave of the Empress of the Three Holy Mothers. Without the order of the Empress, outsiders are not allowed to enter!" Ming Yu straightened his waist and said.

After hearing Ming Yu's words, Chen Xian almost turned his nose in anger. What is an outsider? Can this girl speak?He slowed down, suppressed the thought of killing Ming Yu, and said viciously: "Then why are you still sticking here? Why don't you go in and report!"

"Plague broke out in Huayin County, my lady is kind, she went to treat the people there!" Ming Yu stopped at the door and said, apparently not intending to let Chen Xian in.

"Your uncle!" Chen Xian cursed, then turned and left, heading for Huayin County in the north of the mountain.

Huayin County is now under the Qin State, and it is not very big, with a side length of less than five miles, a low city wall, and more than a thousand families living there.

Such a city would not even be considered a town in later generations, but it was a standard county in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods when the population dropped sharply.

But at this time, Huayin County was very quiet. There was no one on the long street. Every house was closed, and every house was closed. There were white flags flying in front of almost all the doors. The entire Huayin City was like a ghost town.

All the passages in Huayin City were blocked by heavily armed soldiers to prevent people in the city from coming out and spread the plague.In this era of poor medical conditions, the plague broke out, and the death of one city after another, surrounding the city to prevent the spread of the plague, is the best choice.

When the clouds descended outside the city, Chen Xian sensed Yang Chan's aura for a while. He used his invisibility technique to avoid those checkpoints, and walked towards him slowly.

Huayin City was very quiet, occasionally a few mournful cries sounded, making it even more desolate.

A wild dog with withered and yellow hair, most of which fell off, exposing the rotten skin and flesh underneath, exuding a foul smell, lying on the ground with gray eyes, like a dead dog.

"A small city with thousands of households, in this era, the population is at least [-], but now there are less than [-] people, ten rooms and nine empty, alas..." Chen Xian couldn't help sighing when he saw the tragic situation in the city.

He raised his head, with blue light in his eyes, and looked at the sky above the city, only to see that it was filled with lifeless air, and there was no life.Seeing this scene, he thought to himself: "The life is cut off. If there is no miracle, the people here will probably die within ten days! I don't know why this plague broke out, and where is the source?"

Chen Xian didn't know much about the plague, so he couldn't help these innocent people. With a sigh, he walked towards Yang Chan step by step.

In a dilapidated courtyard, there were five straw mats, and on the straw mats were five ragged men and women with pus all over their bodies.These five people had dull eyes and weak breath, as if they would die at any moment.

In front of these five people, stood a beautiful and refined girl in green clothes. Her body exuded a fairy light invisible to ordinary people. It was Yang Chan that Chen Xian came here to look for.She obviously didn't want to appear holy in front of mortals, so she just used the simplest trick to hide herself in the light curtain.

At this time, Yang Chan, with a serious face, was filled with celestial energy and turned into a celestial shower, washing over the five men and women on the straw mat, relieving their pain.

Chen Xian stepped into the dilapidated courtyard silently, and saw Yang Chan who was hiding her figure with a blindfold, and couldn't help smiling.

Chen Xian was about to sneak over to hold Yang Chan in his arms and surprise her, but when he saw Yang Chan's serious expression, he couldn't help but stop.

For a quarter of an hour, Yang Chan had been concentrating on treating the five people, and with Xianlin's washing, all the plague poison on the five people was washed away.

"Ahem..." The five people who were lying on the straw mat were motionless, as if they were dead, but after Yang Chan's treatment, the plague poison of the five people was gone, and the festering flesh and flesh on their bodies recovered as before, and they couldn't help but feel angry. He had just recovered from a long illness, and his body was weak. He was afraid that he would jump up alive immediately, but now he could only lie on the straw mat and cough.

"You are doing useless work. If the source of the disease is not cured, they will still have a recurrence of the plague after a while." While these people have not recovered, Chen Xian also hides his figure, and after approaching Yang Chan, said in a low voice.

"Ah!" Chen Xian suddenly made a sound, startling Yang Chan, she turned around hastily, and only after seeing Chen Xian behind her did she regain her composure.Seeing that Chen Xian was almost close to her, she blushed slightly, and called softly, "Brother Chen!"

"I haven't seen you for ten years, sister Chan'er is getting more and more beautiful!" Chen Xian looked at Yang Chan affectionately and praised.

"En!" Stared at by Chen Xian's burning eyes, Yang Chan's face turned redder, she groaned softly, and lowered her head.

"You shouldn't be wasting immortal yuan to save these five people, it's pointless!" After the meeting, Chen Xian criticized.

"If they don't use Xianyuan, they will die!" Yang Chan raised her head and said firmly.

Chen Xian liked Yang Chan's kind heart very much, but he said coldly, "The entire Huayin County is shrouded in a strange aura, and the souls of the creatures here are all locked in by it. Even if you temporarily After getting rid of the plague on them, it won't be long before they get infected again, how many times can you save them, and how many people can you save?"

"If you can save one, you can't just watch them die in pain!" Yang Chan said firmly.

"If you really want to save them, you should find out the root cause and eliminate the plague from the source, so that the plague will not recur!" Chen Xian said.
