For the sake of the safety of the tens of thousands of households in the city, Oak County City cannot allow outsiders to enter the city.
Even if the people who have just been driven out of the plague have just been driven away, the city guards will not let them into the city.
With no other option, Chu Chen had no choice but to temporarily place the cured people in a deserted village twenty or thirty miles outside the city to use space to block the spread of the epidemic.
Chu Chen improvised a simple "Epidemic Prevention Manual" and carried out a large-scale "cleaning" in the deserted village. He also ordered his soldiers and horses to strictly implement isolation measures to prevent humans and animals from appearing in the deserted village, so as to prevent them from bringing the epidemic virus to the deserted village.
Based on his experience in the previous life, Chu Chen did everything he could think of and tried his best to formulate detailed and comprehensive epidemic prevention measures.
I never expected it to fail.
In this world where demons, humans, ghosts and gods live together, even the plague appears more ferocious.
Chu Chen, Wang Ping, and Zhang Xiucai all looked extremely ugly when they heard this.
Are infected people appearing again in the deserted village where people have been cured?
This is so desperate!
It was clear that the mana and energy in the body had been restored to some extent, but each of them couldn't help but feel powerless.
Someone has just been cured and is infected again. How can we help?
Unless someone has great magical powers, a group magic power can drive away all the diseases and pestilence in the surrounding area.
Otherwise, if the five of them treat him like this, it will be like trying to fetch water from a bamboo basket. In the end, it will be in vain and they will not be able to save many people at all.
"Is this serious? Are you sure that someone is really infected again?"
Chu Chen was unwilling to give up and asked Qing Zhouzi and Qing Pingzi.
The two brothers and sisters nodded in unison:
"Yes, some Taoist soldiers just brought people from the deserted village, and we, brother and sister, expelled them."
Wang Ping's expression collapsed: "Then how can we treat this? There is no way to start!"
Zhang Xiucai didn't say a word. It was obvious that he didn't have any good ideas. He was at a loss and lost his goal.
Brother and sister Qing Zhouzi and Qing Pingzi were even more weak.
Their team had no fighting spirit and lost its direction for a while.
Chu Chen was also feeling numb, but he still tried to cheer up and said encouragingly:
"Don't be discouraged, Xiucai, Brother Wang. You two will take over Qing Zhouzi's place. Fellow Taoist Qing Pingzi, I will go to the deserted village to see the situation."
Wang Ping and the scholar nodded silently. They complained, but they couldn't bear to give up treating the people.
Even if it's useless work, they still have to try something.
...
Chu Chen didn't waste any time. He put two pieces of armor on his feet, made hand gestures and recited a mantra.
Clouds formed under his feet, dragging him towards the deserted village.
Not long after, Chu Chen arrived at the deserted village where the people were resettled and cured.
"Taoist Master, you are finally here."
The Oak City God's Temple, which had previously hosted Chu Chen, suddenly saw Chu Chen and seemed to have seen a savior.
"According to your instructions, we boiled hot water for the people, bathed and washed them, cleaned up the deserted villages, and strictly guarded against outsiders, but... it was still in vain. There are still people who have relapsed."
"Just now, two more people were suspected of being infected with the plague. The little god was smart and immediately sent someone to take them out."
"Oh, Taoist Priest, it's not the same thing if this continues. I just saved someone and got infected again. What should I do?"
"The natural disaster is so terrible that there is no way for people to survive!"
When Yin Chai said this, his face turned pale and his eyes were full of despair.
Chu Chen sighed.
The scene you least wanted to see happened after all.
The disasters of heaven and earth were more terrifying than he imagined.
"I'm going into the village to check out the situation."
The Yin soldiers did not stop Chu Chen. The cultivators only had magic power to cleanse their whole bodies and isolate them from the unknown plague.
Under the guidance of a group of Yin soldiers and stars, Chu Chen entered the village.
Once entering the village.
Many people who were cured by Chu Chen recognized him.
"Master Immortal, I seem to be feeling a little uncomfortable again. Is it because the plague has not been driven away yet? Please help me drive it away again."
"I want it too! Immortal Master, please expel me again!"
"me..."
A group of people who had just been cured and were weak were shouting at the top of their lungs, even begging Chu Chen to take action.
Chu Chen ignored it and ordered his troops to stop the excited people.
He was only one person and could not use the magic power of "eliminate disasters and eliminate plagues". He could only rely on his own magic power to expel the plague. He was exhausted and could not expel the plague again for the people in the deserted village.
To say the least, even if you are expelled, if you are infected again, it will be in vain.
"Senior brother, there is a terrible omen in this village in front of us, a bloody disaster!"
When Chu Chen was upset, the bookbox behind him stirred, and the little devil woke up from the jar, lying on his senior brother's back, feeling a little depressed.
Last night, the little devil also took action to drive away the epidemic and plague for the people.
However, it is a ghost monk, and the evil spirit of mana in its body is too strong, which is extremely harmful to ordinary people.
It can only assist Chu Chen, but cannot act alone.
However, the little devil's contribution is not small. He was exhausted last night.
"Little devil, are you right?"
The little devil pursed his lips: "Senior brother, don't worry if you doubt my omens of good fortune. I'm the best at omens of misfortune. This village will definitely be in a bloody disaster. If we don't come, they will all die and not a single one will be left!"
When he said this, the little ghost looked solemn and his tone was determined. The ghost's eyes exuded a dark light.
Chu Chen looked back at the little devil, and his heart sank.
What kind of character is the little devil?
The perfect crow's mouth will make everyone miserable.
The plague in the deserted village has really returned.
"What a terrible disaster, and it doesn't give the people a way to survive at all!"
Chu Chen murmured to himself, feeling quite desperate.
"Disasters from heaven and earth? Senior brother, the disasters for the people in the village don't seem to be natural disasters."
The kid blurted out.
Chu Chen was stunned. Wasn't it a natural disaster?
"Little devil, you said the people are not suffering from a natural disaster? Are you sure?"
"Senior brother, I am only an eighth-level Taoist practitioner. How can I get a glimpse of the secrets of heaven? I just rely on my intuition. I feel that the aura of disaster in the people in the village has changed a little."
The little kid rubbed his head naively.
When Chu Chen heard this, he was not surprised but happy.
If it's not a natural disaster, it's a "man-made disaster".
If this were the case, the situation would have turned around.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters are two different things.
Natural disasters are arranged by the God of Plague. The power of heaven and earth generates the aura of calamity and plague, which spreads throughout the world.
Unless you activate the "Plague Avoidance Formation" like Oak County, you will be unable to prevent it.
A natural disaster will kill the people in the desolate village. With Chu Chen's Taoist practice, there is no way he can turn things around and save the people.
However, if it is a "man-made disaster", there is room for recovery.
With an inquiring mind, Chu Chen released his consciousness and began to search throughout the deserted village, trying to find any clues.
A quarter of an hour later.
Chu Chen discovered a little bit of evil spirit in the deserted village.
Sure enough, as the kid said, the disaster in the deserted village comes from "man-made disasters" rather than natural disasters.
"Senior brother, he is good at fishing in troubled waters with epidemic demons and taking advantage of natural disasters to commit crimes. Hahaha, senior brother, how awesome am I, little devil!"
The little kid was so proud and so excited.
"It's amazing! My little ghost is so awesome, I'll reward him with ten pieces of Yihun Xinxiang!"
"Thank you, senior brother!"
The little devil smiled like a flower, floating in the air, and bowed like smashing garlic.
Chu Chen held this faint demonic energy in his palm and asked:
"This monster should dare to leave soon. Little devil, can you point me in the direction? Which way is a good omen?",
The little devil was full of confidence at this moment, and without thinking, he pointed to the north.
"Okay! Well done!"
Chu Chen praised him, took the kid with him, and headed south.
Little devil: "..."
Halfway through, a strong wind blew against the little devil's cheek.
