Chapter 24 In the Year of the Great Plague, Immortals Help the World
"call!"
Jiang Wuji's feet suddenly exerted force, and his whole body flew away from the tree trunk towards the evil spirit like an arrow.
Maybe it's because I've seen too many corpses, or maybe there's an evil spirit in my body.
Jiang Wuji didn't feel scared now, and he didn't even have the slightest idea of escape. He just wanted to strike first!
However, just when the copper coin sword in his hand was about to hit Xie Sui's eyebrows, the scalpless Xie Sui suddenly knelt on the ground with a "pop" and kowtowed directly.
"Please give me the elixir, please give me the elixir! Please give me the elixir, please give me the elixir!"
people?!
Jiang Wuji turned his wrist and struck the tombstone on the right with his sword.
"boom!"
The gravel flew and the tombstone fell into pieces!
Damn it, am I that strong now? Jiang Wuji just glanced at the tombstone and his attention immediately returned to the person in front of him.
The other party knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and made "bang bang bang" banging sounds.
"Please ask the Taoist Master to give you elixirs, please ask the Taoist Master to give you elixirs..."
If you look carefully, you can see that it is a living person.
His symptoms were somewhat similar to those of the people in the village before, but his symptoms were more severe.
Jiang Wuji kept a certain distance from him, tightened the copper coin sword in his hand, and asked: "Who are you? Where do you come from?"
"Ask the Taoist Master for elixirs. Please seek the Taoist Master for elixirs."
"I'm asking you a question!" Jiang Wuji scolded.
"Ask the Taoist Master for elixirs. Please seek the Taoist Master for elixirs."
"You're a repeater? Answer my question and I'll give you the elixir!" Jiang Wuji tried to deceive.
However, the latter kept repeating the same sentence and kowtowed until his forehead collapsed.
After trying a few more times, Jiang Wuji came to a conclusion.
"This man is crazy..."
However, just when Jiang Wuji was about to leave, Du got up and followed him.
"Stop!" Jiang Wuji shouted.
"Please ask the Taoist Master to give you elixirs, please ask the Taoist Master to give you elixirs..."
"Get out! I don't have any elixir! Don't blame me for being rude if you come here again!"
Jiang Wuji's threats had no effect. In desperation, he could only knock the opponent unconscious with one sword.
This man is obviously also suffering from the plague. Whether he is willing to help is another matter. If he is infected, it will be over.
This little episode passed quickly, and nothing strange happened in the rest of the journey.
until arriving at the county seat.
Yong'an County.
In Jiang Wuji's memory, his father took him down the mountain to attend the market several times.
Although the county seat is not big, it is still very lively as the only concentration point of Shanshan Ao in Yong'an County.
Even if it is not a market day, there is no shortage of small traders here.
However, now, there are not many people to be seen on the streets. On the contrary, many people have white cloths hung on their doorsteps or mourning flags hanging down.
"Brother, what's going on..." The girl pulled her brother's clothes, a little scared.
"Don't be afraid." Jiang Wuji led Xiaoyu and walked towards the inn in his memory.
No matter what, they have to find a place to stay first, and they are not short of silver now.
However, when people on the street saw Jiang Wuji, they greeted him with smiles and bowed to him repeatedly.
"Hello, Chief Taoist."
"Hello, Chief Taoist."
"Taoist Priest, where are you going?"
"Taoist priest, you are new to our Yong'an County, right? Do you need help from the young man?"
The enthusiasm of the crowd made Jiang Wuji feel unnatural.
Are Taoist priests so popular?
No, it’s not like I haven’t met Taoist priests before when I went to the market. At that time, they were not that enthusiastic at all.
Jiang Wuji's heart was inexplicably hung up, and he always felt that something was about to happen.
Soon, the brother and sister came to an inn called "Yonganlai".
When entering the inn, the first thing you smell is the smell of accumulated dust.
Immediately afterwards, the shopkeeper, who was simply dressed and with a sallow complexion, came up to him.
"Oh! Taoist priest, I'm so sorry! The shop has just been opened and it hasn't been dusted off yet. I'm really sorry."
The shopkeeper greeted and wiped a bench clean with his sleeve.
"Just opened the door? Haven't you opened the door before?" Jiang Wuji asked.
The shopkeeper let out a long sigh and said: "Hey, the plague is so severe, how can anyone come to my place? It's a blessing to be able to save this small shop."
"Plague? There's a plague in the county too?!" Jiang Wuji blurted out.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and asked: "Taoist priest, you don't know?"
Jiang Wuji: "I mean, I didn't expect that there was really a plague in the county."
"Why……"
The shopkeeper shook his head, moved a stool, sat down, and began to vomit his bitterness.
Jiang Wuji went in with one ear and out with the other, because there was no point.
He has also experienced the plague, so naturally he has little curiosity about the suffering caused by the plague.
The shopkeeper also mentioned asking Mipo that the plague killed too many people, which led to asking Mipo to make a windfall, which he was very envious of.
Oh, it's just superstition.
After the shopkeeper had almost finished vomiting, Jiang Wuji asked: "The plague is really serious this time. Some people who are infected with the plague will have more or less unbearable symptoms even if they don't die. But I came all the way here
, the people in the county town I met didn’t seem to be that serious..."
"What the Taoist said is wrong."
The shopkeeper got a cup of tea, handed it to Jiang Wuji, and said, "Not to mention others, I am also suffering from the plague."
"But fortunately, God blessed us in Yong'an County. A Taoist priest traveled here, so we were able to escape this disaster..."
"Taoist? Please give the shopkeeper more details." Jiang Wuji asked.
Shopkeeper: "Not long ago, a Taoist priest came to the county town. When the Taoist priest saw the epidemic, he opened a altar to try his best and started refining elixirs."
"That's really a Taoist immortal. After taking the elixir given by the Taoist priest, all our symptoms were cured overnight!"
"In the year of the great epidemic, the immortal way helped the world, and our Yong'an County has finally survived."
"It is precisely because of this that I thought about opening the door to welcome customers and thinking about doing some business."
Hearing this, Jiang Wuji's heart began to tingle.
Are there really such coincidences in this world?
The village chief makes alchemy to cure diseases, but there are also Taoist priests in Yong'an Town who make alchemy to cure diseases?
"What's the name of that Taoist priest?" Jiang Wuji asked.
The shopkeeper frowned and did not answer. Instead, he asked: "Taoist Priest, what are you..."
"Oh, shopkeeper, don't think too much. I'm just curious about the name of Taoist Brother Ji Shi. Maybe he is my fellow disciple?" Jiang Wuji said with a smile.
Shopkeeper: "Oh, that's it."
"That Taoist priest's name is Qing Xuanzi."
"What?!" Jiang Wuji stood up suddenly.
The shopkeeper asked in surprise: "Taoist Priest, what's wrong with you?"
"Why did you lie to me!"
Jiang Wuji pulled out the copper coin sword from his back, and his eyes instantly turned red.
The shopkeeper was so frightened by Jiang Wuji that he sat down on the ground, his tongue tied, "Tao, Tao, Taoist Master, I didn't lie to you, why should I lie to you!"
"Qing Xuanzi is dead! He died on July 15th!!" Jiang Wuji roared.
"This, how is this possible?"
The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva and said, "Taoist Priest Qingxuanzi, you only left on July 16th..."
Jiang Wuji's veins bulged on his forehead: "You fucking farted!"
