"The entire Prince Ning's Mansion was harmed by demons?!" When the officers and soldiers guarding the ruins of Prince Ning's Mansion told them the news, both of them were stunned.
They imagined many possibilities, but never thought of this one.
"How is that possible! Isn't he the leader of the demons himself?" Wu Jie couldn't help shouting, "It's a good thing if he doesn't harm others, who dares to harm him!"
However, the facts are obvious: a few nights ago, a fire suddenly broke out in Prince Ning's Mansion. The fire was so fierce and strange that it could not be extinguished even if it stuck to people's bodies. If they didn't soak in water as soon as possible, they would be burned to death.
There were thousands of men, women, and children in the entire Ning Prince's Mansion, but not a single one could escape. And judging from some of the corpses found, it seemed that all of them died before the fire. There was no trace of any scar on any of them, just facial expressions.
The weird smile was obviously caused by a demon.
This strange fire only burned for a short time, and the flames did not rise very high. However, the entire Ning Prince's Mansion was almost burned to a white ground, and not even a slightly intact body could be found from the fire scene. p>
"Did we wrong him?" Shen Yi couldn't help but wonder, "If he was really the culprit, how could he end up being killed all over the house?"
"Humph! Unjustly accused?" Wu Jie sneered disdainfully, with murderous intent in his eyes, "In order to hide the truth from others, he risked the lives of thousands of people in the palace to escape from his shell. This is really not an ordinary ruthlessness, nor an ordinary decisiveness of killing!
”
"Master, he looks very much like you did back then!"
"The sky net is vast and sparse. Even though the divine king was so capable, he still couldn't escape the divine thunder. Can Zhu Quan escape?... Wei Shu has been on the run for ten years. I want to see him.
How long can I escape!"
The culprit ran away, but the trouble never ran away.
In Nanping County, which was severely affected by the disaster, there are still many things that Wu Jie needs to do.
But this time, what is needed is not his force, but his wisdom - to be precise, his talent as a healer.
"Be careful when drinking water! You must first filter it through a cloth with charcoal, and then boil it... Don't tell me that it's very troublesome! As long as I find that there are victims who cannot drink clean water, I will
Looking for trouble!"
Wu Jie displayed the majesty of an imperial envoy, scolded an official out fiercely, and shouted in a voice that could be heard in half of Nan'an City: "There is miasma in the dirty water! If you don't want diarrhea and bleeding, just be honest with me."
Drink clean water!"
King Ning is dead—let’s just think of him as dead for the time being—he is the imperial envoy with the highest status in Nan’an City. It’s easy to execute all kinds of orders. In Wu Jie’s opinion, this is probably because of that bastard Zhu Quan.
The only good thing I have ever done in my life.
As an imperial envoy, Wu Jie combined his biological and medical knowledge to design a set of disaster reduction and epidemic prevention measures, and issued fatal orders to officials in various places, asking them to "implement what you understand quickly, and what you don't understand, just implement it."
"You will gradually understand", in short, you must do what he said.
These methods are undoubtedly effective, and people on Earth have already proven them through practice. Maybe they are not as reliable in this fairy world as they are on Earth, but they can still have some effect.
Wu Jie is looking forward to it.
He knew that great disasters were often followed by great plagues. In fact, the damage caused by plagues was far more troublesome than simple floods, and more people died. Therefore, he was very nervous and anxious, fearing that officials would not follow his instructions.
However, he was worried that the method would have limited effect and would not be able to save many people. In addition, there were many other things to do, and he could hardly sleep peacefully every night. Even with his body, he was gradually becoming exhausted.
However, fortunately everything went smoothly.
As the days passed, the disaster gradually subsided, and the originally frightening plague did not break out. This made the officials who had previously been skeptical of Wu Jie's orders finally give up and become convinced.
"As expected of an imperial envoy! At such a young age, he is not only talented in martial arts, but also a scholar!"
"Although I still don't understand what the imperial envoy said, as long as the method is easy to use, it will be fine!"
"Yeah, I don't understand it yet. I'll figure it out later."
Statements like this are gradually becoming popular among officials. But among the people, many victims of the disaster have voluntarily set up immortality tablets for Wu Jie, and some even swear that they dreamed of gods appearing in their dreams at night and passing them down to disciples.<
/p>
"Fourth, you have had six or seven more masters during this period, and they are all very capable." Du Ruo said with a smile while eating the glutinous rice cakes he successfully made based on the ideas provided by Wu Jie, "Bodhisattva to the Rescue.
, King of Medicine, Emperor of Immortality, Venerable Puji... Today, even the God of Plague has finally stepped in. I think he should hate you to the core right now!"
"Those don't matter! They're just a bunch of grass-headed gods!" Jasmine curled her lips with disdain, "If I hadn't been able to get out of the Book of Heaven world, I could have killed several of them with one hand!"
The breath was so loud that Du Ruo choked immediately. A mouthful of glutinous rice cake stuck in his throat and he coughed for a long time. Finally, he turned into a spirit body and let it fall down.
"Huh... Sure enough, ghosts also have their benefits! If I were still alive, I might have choked to death right now..."
"A congenital expert who choked to death on a glutinous rice cake... Third brother, can you be more funny?"
"Is it funnier than 'The disciples of the God of Plague invent ways to prevent plague and provide disaster relief'?"
Wu Jie's complaints were rudely pushed back, so he had to hold his nose and go about his business in despair, unable to argue with Du Ruo anymore.
After a while, Du Ruo couldn't help but said again: "I mean, fourth brother, we brothers have lived and eaten together since childhood. Why have I never seen you with such an ability? Didn't everything in your previous life get blown away?
Have you forgotten all the chopping?"
"It's not like I only lived in the life of the Lord God... Before I was reincarnated here, I lived in a very powerful and prosperous world. Strictly speaking, that was my previous life. What I learned in my previous life
There are so many!"
"Oh? The method I came up with this time... was also learned in my previous life?"
"Yes, it's a pity that I was not a professional scholar in my previous life, and all I could come up with were some popular things. Otherwise, I might be able to help more people." Wu Jie sighed softly, "It's only when the book is used that I regret it!"
”
"Master, you are wrong! If you help them, you are merciful; if you don't help them, that is human nature. For what you have done for them, they should pay with their lives in return... You
What else are you dissatisfied with? Even when your magical power was still there, you didn’t dare to say that you could do whatever you wanted."
Jasmine's words were a little biased, but at least the last sentence was quite convincing, and it got into Wu Jie's heart.
It's not that he doesn't want to do more for the victims, but that his abilities are limited and he has done his best to this extent.
"If I had the ability now that the God King had in the past, surely this natural disaster would be over soon?" He thought silently, and once again strengthened his determination to seek Taoism and become an immortal.
He was busy in Nanping County for almost a month. In early December, the disaster finally subsided, and the imperial envoy finally arrived belatedly.
This envoy is an acquaintance, his surname is Xiong and his given name is Qiuye. He is a branch of the current royal family, one of the instructors of the Chu Kingdom's Imperial Army, and one of Wu Jie's teachers.
General Xiong obviously didn't like this job. After he read out the imperial edict, he hurriedly hid in a Taoist temple to retreat, leaving his deputies in charge of various specific matters.
The content of this imperial edict is roughly as follows: first, it affirms the contribution of the civil and military officials of Nanping County in fighting against natural disasters under the leadership of King Ning; then it mourns King Ning who was unfortunately killed by a monster, and expresses that he will find an expert to avenge him
; Next, he praised Wu Jie's great achievements in disaster relief and epidemic prevention, and named him Ji Shihou; finally, he announced that Nanping County would be exempted from taxes for three years, and allocated a large amount of materials.
Overall, everyone is happy.
At this time, Wu Jie was finally ready to leave.
His original intention was to go out to seek immortality, but when he saw a disaster happen, he stepped forward without hesitation. Now that the disaster has basically subsided, it is time to retire after having achieved success.
He declined the invitation from Nanping County officials to stay, visited Xiong Qiuye and Shen Yi respectively, said goodbye to them alone, and then quietly left Nan'an City and came to a small town in the northwest of Nanping County.
He passed by here during disaster relief a while ago and met a young man who left a deep impression on him.
That man's name was Tao Tu, and he was born into a wealthy pottery family. He was the only one in the family who died because he was attacked by poisonous insects driven out of the mountains by floods. If Wu Jie hadn't arrived at the right time, even he himself would have died.
There is only a dead end.
After being rescued by Wu Jie, facing the tragic situation where his whole family was killed, Tao Tu was not as grief-stricken as most people, but appeared very calm, but there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
"A prosperous life has suddenly become empty." After joining the disaster relief team and solving some local problems, he lamented, "Our place used to be very lively, but it suddenly became depressed; my family used to be rich and powerful, and the house was full of guests.
It was prosperous, but all of a sudden I was the only one left... These things in this world are so fragile!"
"Yes! So I plan to seek immortality after the disaster relief work is over." Wu Jie responded.
"Can you take me with you?" Tao Tu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered something and said, "There is a legend in my family that my ancestor failed to seek immortality, but he got a token that can be used to worship the immortal. If Wu Daxia is interested,
If so, I am willing to give this token to you, I just ask you to take me with you to seek immortality!"
Wu Jie came here to seek immortality with him.
When he came to the town, Taotu was already ready.
The young pottery merchant dispersed all his wealth, leaving only some money and things that could be easily taken away. The total amount was only a bamboo basket used by scholars for study tours. Carrying the bamboo basket on his back, he felt relaxed.
"I want to explain first, I don't know how to seek immortality myself." Wu explained.
"It doesn't matter, I found it in the interlayer of the genealogy. The place where my ancestors failed to seek immortality was in Qingniu Town, Yanling County, Dayue Kingdom. Let's go there and have a look!" Tao Tu's round face was full of longing, "I
I believe that for a young, capable, and noble person like you, Wu Daxia, the Immortal will definitely be willing to accept you as his disciple! When the time comes, please be sure to support me!"
"Then I'll accept your good advice." Wu Jie laughed loudly and agreed.
They compared the map and decided to bypass the vast and barren mountains in the south of Nanping County, go to Dayue Kingdom by sea, and then go upstream along the famous Da Chi River in the south until they reached Yanling County.
According to the ancestors of the Hu family, Qingniu Town is located in the northwest of Yanling County, where several rivers merge into the Dachi River, so it is easy to find.
The winter in the south is not cold. Although it is already December, the sun is still warm and the wind blows warmly on you.
Two young people who were full of fantasies about the future and cultivating immortals rode horses and set off together under the warm sunshine.
They set out from the rolling mortal world and want to go beyond the mortal world to find a way beyond the mortal world. This chapter has been completed!
