Chapter 233: Meeting an old friend in a foreign land
Entering the city, Yuan Ming found that the situation inside was more serious than he imagined. There were dead bodies everywhere in the streets and alleys, some of which were already rotting and smelly.
Along the way, we encountered two medical clinics and a government office, both of which were filled with piles of corpses. It was extremely miserable. There were more dead people than living people visible in the city.
Yuan Ming came here with medicine to eliminate the plague. He originally wanted to put it into the well water and let the people in the town drink the water to get rid of the disease, but in this current situation, it was naturally impossible.
With his own strength, it was impossible to give medicine and treat them one by one. So Yuan Ming found a house, briefly cleaned the bodies inside, took out the incense-making materials he had purchased earlier, and started to get busy.
By evening, he had already produced several new ones in light yellow color.
The basic materials used in these are the same ones used to make mist incense, but some medicinal powder to eliminate plague is added to it, and combined with some special refining techniques written in the secret book of spiritual incense, it is made.
After completing the production of anti-epidemic incense, Yuan Ming took the incense to an open space in the center of Hekou Town and pointed at the center of his eyebrows.
Four soul crows flew out respectively, three of them landed on the three recently deceased corpses around him, and the remaining one flew high into the sky above his head to guard the surroundings for him.
After the soul crow submerged, the three corpses' eyes lit up with two faint green lights, and they climbed up unsteadily and walked to Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming gave each of them a piece of anti-epidemic incense and asked them to carry it in three directions of the town. He held the Stealing Heaven Cauldron, put in the anti-epidemic incense, and sat in the center.
When the four corpses arrived at the appropriate positions, Yuan Ming controlled them and lit the incense with him.
After the anti-epidemic incense was lit, within a moment, large clouds of yellow smoke began to rise from all over Hekou Town, and it didn't take long for the billowing smoke to engulf the entire town.
In the thick smoke, the people who were already dying thought they had perished and arrived in the netherworld.
But with their current physical condition, they were unable to avoid it, so they simply ignored it.
However, after inhaling the thick smoke, everyone felt refreshed and no longer depressed as before. For a moment, they didn't know if they were having a flashback before death or if they were really well.
After a long time, when the thick smoke gradually dissipated, all the people still alive in the city had been freed from the disease. When they saw their surroundings again and found that they were still in the town, they all cried with joy, and the cries resounded throughout the entire city.
small town.
Yuan Ming had already put away the Heaven-stealing Cauldron at this moment, and all four soul crows flew back into his body.
After being promoted to Foundation Establishment, his soul power has greatly increased. Now even if all six soul crows are released, it will no longer be a big burden on his soul power consumption.
After Yuan Ming adjusted his breath for a while, he returned to normal.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that some recovered people were already gathering around him, and they were gathering towards this side.
These people are still very weak, and some need to support each other to barely stand.
But when they heard a child who had seen the whole process of Yuan Ming casting the spell, saying that the savior was here, they all gathered around.
"Kneel down and thank the Immortal Master for saving your life." I don't know who it was, but the first person called out, and others immediately responded.
Immediately afterwards, the crowd shouted "Kneel down to thank the Immortal Master for saving his life", and then some people knelt down one after another and kowtowed towards Yuan Ming.
"You have just recovered from the epidemic and your bodies are still weak. Don't bother to kneel and worship here. Go back quickly to eat and recuperate. After that, you have to properly deal with the corpses of your loved ones. Go back." Yuan Ming Wuqin shouted.
However, there were still people who survived around, approaching this side, and then bowed down and thanked them.
Yuan Ming knew that he could not be persuaded, so he raised his hand and patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, released the Qingyun Crane, and immediately stepped on it, riding the crane into the sky. Sto⑤②0.COM first website
"It's an immortal. It's really an immortal. Thank you Immortal for saving your life. We were saved. The people in the open space in the town became more and more excited." Upon seeing this, Yuan Ming had no choice but to leave first.
After watching Yuan Ming leave, the common people who had walked through the gate of hell got up one after another.
An originally quite prestigious clan elder suddenly spoke and said to everyone: "Immortals don't ask for anything in return. They show their kindness and then leave. We are not ungrateful people. We should build a shrine to the immortals and offer incense."
"Yes, we must build a shrine for the Immortal Master! Cast a monument and establish a biography!" Someone immediately responded.
"Lu Xiucai, are you still alive?" The clan leader took a deep breath and shouted. "Uncle, you are alive. I am still alive."
A scholar in the crowd immediately responded. "Have you seen the appearance of the Immortal Master clearly? Go back and draw the portrait, and we will make the statue according to the reference." The clan elder shouted.
The immortal master was wearing a bamboo hat and could not see his appearance clearly, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept it first.
In later generations, there was a temple named "Epidemic Elimination Temple" in Hekou Town. Inside, there was a statue wearing a bamboo hat and standing on a crane. Although it was not officially canonized, it was still very popular, and many people even
Traveling thousands of miles to come here, we have been here for hundreds of years.
This is a later story, so let’s not mention it for the moment. After this short episode, Yuan Ming flew away from Hekou Town on Qingyun Crane and continued heading north.
Along the way, he studied the secret book of spiritual incense and discovered that there are many spiritual incense that can cure diseases, save people and maintain health. Most of them have weak effects for practitioners, but they are rare panaceas for ordinary people.
In addition, the materials used were very common, so Yuan Ming also refined some of them while practicing, making his incense refining skills more and more proficient. Along the way, he also treated those who were suffering from hardship and illness.
But I feel at ease.
After traveling like this, Yuan Ming finally arrived at Haiyan City, a city in the northeast of Yue Kingdom near the East China Sea. When they parted ways in Black Rock City, Wulu said that he would come here to rest for a while, and also invited Yuan Ming to come with him.Ｓto⑤②0

However, Yuan Ming was intent on returning to Jin Dynasty and had other arrangements, so he did not agree. Now that he had arrived in Haiyan City, he wanted to see Niao Lu again, and it happened that he also had something else to ask for.
Haiyan City is at the entrance of a river called Haihe in the Yue Kingdom. The city was named after the river clearing the river and Haiyan. In addition to the most famous scene of waves crashing against the cliffs, there is also the river and sea tide on August 15th every year.
The season is wrong now and there is no majestic tide in sight. However, Yuan Ming is naturally not interested in this. He only needs to see Ulu. Entering Haiyan City, Yuan Ming found that not to mention the size of the city, just the prosperity of the city
, actually no worse than the capital city of Jin Dynasty.
There are branches of the Haihe River running through the city. The water system is rich and distributed in a network in the city, forming a unique landscape of street buildings distributed along the river.
The folk customs and even the architectural style of southern Vietnam are still similar to those of southern Xinjiang, and some traces are still preserved in the central part. By the time Haiyan City in the north is reached, it has completely become the style of the Central Plains.
When Yuan Ming entered the city, he did not go to Wulu immediately. Instead, he first found a Goulan, drank tea, listened to music, and relaxed.
When he was in the capital of the Jin Dynasty, he would often go to Goulan to listen to music, and occasionally he would write lyrics and compose his own music, but the number was not as large as the picture albums and storybooks. To this day, Yuan Ming's lyrics and music are still circulating in the Jin Dynasty.
In the afternoon, Yuan Ming took a nice bath in the inn and put on new clothes before going out and heading to the famous sea-viewing cliff in the east of the city.
As for Wulu's whereabouts, Yuan Ming had already found out through the possession of the Tianding Cauldron before he came to Haiyan City.
He lives on the edge of Wanghai Cliff, in a cliff inn facing the East China Sea. It has the best view of the sea tide in the entire Haiyan City. From a high position, he can see the spectacular scenery of the waves hitting the cliff and rolling up thousands of waves.
When Yuan Ming found Wulu, the latter was sitting on the second floor of the restaurant of the Guanhailou Inn, at a window facing the seaside. He ordered a few side dishes and drank to himself. He was obviously having a very comfortable time.
When he saw Yuan Ming sitting across from him, Wu Lu was obviously stunned, obviously in disbelief.
"Brother Wulu, you're fine." Yuan Ming said with a smile.
"Brother Yuan, it's really you! What a coincidence!" Wulu was stunned for a moment while holding the wine glass, and suddenly felt infinite joy in his heart.
This joy of "reunion after a long absence", combined with the surprise of meeting an old friend in a foreign land, gave him a somewhat unreal illusion when he saw Yuan Ming.
And the reason why he has such big mood swings is actually not entirely the result of these two emotions.
In fact, when Yuan Ming decided to set out to find Ulu, he had already used the Heaven-stealing Cauldron to burn incense to possess him three times in a row, and every time he possessed him, Yuan Ming relied on the power of the black incense to continuously hint.
Ulu regards himself as his lifelong confidant.
So much so that Wulu once felt that he had a mental problem and would always think of Yuan Ming inexplicably.
However, for some reason, the black incense made with Xuanhua Guanxiang ash is much weaker in terms of psychological suggestion than the incense ash previously obtained from Liu Xinzong. However, Liu Xinzong's incense ash was too small, and it was not used before.
It's already been used up.
"Why are you here?" Ulu asked, somewhat surprised.
"I was returning to Dajin from the north, but something unexpected happened on the way, so I temporarily changed my route and took a detour across the country. Since I know that you are here, brother Wulu, how could I not come and get together?" Yuan Ming said with a smile.
"It happened to me. I saw the beautiful scenery here, but I didn't expect to meet you." Yuan Ming said.
"What happened to you on the road?" Wulu frowned. He met old debtors near Tiehu Town, and he happened to collect some interest from their debts.
"Yuan Ming nodded and said. Wulu looked at Yuan Ming carefully, his pupils shrank, and he said in surprise: "Brother Yuan, you have actually established the foundation."
