Chapter 359: Plague from all directions, disaster has arrived

 Yuncheng, Sifang Mountain.

The night is as cool as water and the trees are rustling.

The bright moonlight cannot penetrate the lush and dense jungle, but instead makes the shadows of the whirling trees sway, like ghosts passing through.

Li Qingwan, Wang Andao, Bi Qi and others, together with two supervisors and a large team led by Duan Jingrui, the chief arrester of Yuncheng, searched the Sifang Mountain in a mighty manner.

"Master Li, this used to be the mountain god temple. There were hundreds of bones hidden in the temple, all of which were passers-by or nearby villagers.

But Brother Tang had confiscated everything that day and ordered people to destroy the temple. This is where the old site is."

Bi Qi pointed to the ruins ahead and explained to Li Qingwan the reasons for the past.

What kind of discernment does Li Qingwan have?

With just one sweep, she had a panoramic view of the place's size and condition, and even the dark ancient trees could not block the divine light in her eyes.

"Oh?"

As if she had discovered something, Li Qingwan strode forward.

Wherever she passed along the way, sand and rocks were flying, grass and trees were flying, and bursts of fresh earth fragrance filled the surroundings.

When she walked to the original mountain temple, she saw a huge pit revealed inside, which was ten feet deep into the ground. In the dark night, it looked like a ferocious beast with a ferocious face.

There were snakes and insects scurrying around at the bottom of the pit. They sensed the aura of Li Qingwan and others, and were so frightened that they fled frantically.

A bloody token appeared in the pit, lying there silently, exuding an eerie and strange aura.

Wang Andao and others followed closely behind and looked into the pit one after another.

I saw that the token was about three feet long, with withered ghost mist around it, and a ferocious evil ghost engraved on the four corners and in the middle, with different shapes.

Most people don't recognize this token, but among the people who come to Qingshui City, there are people with good eyesight.

Both Wang Andao and the two supervisors knew what this was.

"Five ghost laws!"

"I understand. That day, Yuan Hua and his two men should have used this token to drive the five ghosts of the Underworld to carry the body."

Li Qingwan reached out and grabbed the Five Ghost Laws.

The decree is cold and biting, and Yin Qi is constantly seeping into the body. It is obviously not a mortal thing.

She looked at the token in her hand with some confusion: "The Five Ghost Laws are the five plague gods commanding the underworld ghosts. How could it be in the hands of a small mountain god?

Is it true that Tie Tang was right, that the incident here is related to the five plague gods?"

After Li Qingwan came to Yuncheng, she first asked Liu Pengfei and other officials to obtain accurate casualty information here, and then followed the clues to search for the first person infected with the plague.

However, that person had already died, and his soul had already walked across the Naihe Bridge, drank Meng Po Soup, and been reincarnated, making Li Qingwan's soul-binding method ineffective.

Then she took people to see the civilians who had been infected by the plague but had not yet died.

This kind of plague is like maggots attached to bones and is extremely difficult to get rid of. Although it is not difficult for Li Qingwan, the heavenly wizard, once the plague completely spreads, how many people in the world can ask the heavenly wizard to help?

Finding the source was the key. Li Qingwan ran out of clues for a while, so Biqi and Wang Andao suggested that they come to Sifang Mountain to take a look.

Bi Qi, Duan Jingrui and others didn't understand the internal secrets, so they asked Wang Andao for advice: "Brother Wang, what's going on?"

Wang Andao waved his hand: "I don't know much, so why not let Mr. Li explain it."

An inspector stood up from the side: "The Five Plague Gods are also called the Five Plague Messengers. The Five Plague Messengers include the five plague gods of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

It is said that they control the plagues in the five directions, so that they cannot invade the human world, and protect the people of the world from plagues all year round, and to be happy and healthy.

The Five Ghost Laws are equivalent to their edicts, which are used to dispatch the ghosts and gods under their command. I heard that they are also divided into several levels: copper, silver, gold, and jade.

The Five Ghosts Law in your hands should be a bronze one, which is the worst kind.

Even the worst kind should not fall into the hands of the mountain god, because nominally, this token can also mobilize the mountain god here.

According to my guess, this Five Ghost Edict was probably 'hacked' by this mountain god.

Although I don’t know what means she used to hide the truth, but the law should not have appeared in her hands."

Li Qingwan clenched the token tightly and poured in the witchcraft power without hesitation. There was a strong wind all around, there were ghosts crying and howling, and the trees were shaking and shaking, which was very frightening.

"I am enforcing the law. The wandering souls here and the lonely ghosts in this mountain are wandering in the dark at night. I am ordered to come and see you as soon as possible."

The Five Ghost Laws burst out with blue-black light, and the infinite darkness completely covered the already dark night. Some of the less powerful detectives suddenly felt that their five senses were lost, and they could not see or hear.

After a while.

From the deep darkness, seven or eight phantoms came from all directions and prostrated themselves in front of Li Qingwan.

"Meet the envoy!"

Li Qingwan's eyes were full of light, and she could see the figures around her clearly: "Has there been any unusual movement here recently?"

A kid responded: "This mountain is deserted. It has been the same since the last time the mountain god left."

"Someone in Yuncheng not far away is infected with the plague. Do you know why?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. We are trapped in an area and cannot easily leave, but we don't know what is going on outside the mountain."

Li Qingwan frowned slightly, even though she knew the result, she was still a little dissatisfied.

"Besides me, who else has been calling you recently with orders?"

The lonely ghosts looked at each other and shook their heads.

Many of them don't even have the soul to understand and answer Li Qingwan's questions, which is considered lucky, and they can't remember things that are too long ago.

Li Qingwan waved her hand in disappointment: "Go back."

The darkness dissipates, and ghosts are like smoke.

A few wisps of bright moonlight passed through the large umbrellas covered with lush leaves, making everyone present almost feel like seeing the sky again.

One of the inspectors said: "It's just a token, it can't prove anything. Besides, humans like us are now in charge of the human world. Immortals and gods are not allowed to go down to the realm, and Yin and Yang are inviolable.

Even if the five plague gods are willing, they would not dare to take the risk and descend to earth to bring calamity. There must be another reason for the plague in Yuncheng."

They had these concepts before they came, and now after the on-site investigation, their original ideas have been confirmed.

But Li Qingwan knows better after all.

Today's world is no longer what it was eight hundred years ago, and its dominance is no longer what it used to be. First there were evil cults causing chaos, then there were old immortals who came to the world to teach the Dharma, and even the Holy Capital List was stolen.

It is impossible to say whether the world of heaven and earth will remain as stable as before.

Moreover, in addition to the Immortal Court's edict, the five plague gods have another way to bring disaster to the human world without causing any conflicts.

That is the way of heaven that wants to punish the world.

If Heaven issues an edict to drive the five plague gods, and their effectiveness is even greater than that of the Immortal Court Documents, the five plague gods will not hesitate at all and will definitely act according to the edict.

In addition, this matter was brought up by Tie Tang, a top man. Even if it is just his intuition, it should not be underestimated.

Combining these conjectures, Li Qingwan did not give up her doubts.

"Go back first and take a look again."

Everyone descended from Sifang Mountain and returned to Yuncheng, only to see the surrounding city gates wide open, and many people came with their families, as if they were fleeing.

"It's strange. Tonight is New Year's Eve. Why do these people come to Yuncheng if they don't celebrate the New Year at home?"

Not only was Biqi puzzled, but everyone also looked puzzled.

Duan Jingrui stepped forward and casually stopped several people to ask.

When the common people saw him wearing the uniform of a police officer, they did not dare to refuse and told him the truth truthfully.

"We are in a village under You County. There is a plague there now. Thousands of people have died. Every family has white silk and every household has hemp mats.

In such a situation, who of us would dare to stay?

We can only flee from our hometown and flee to other cities. If we stay here, we might die suddenly one day."

"Why not go to You County nearby?"

The commoner said in horror: "There is also a plague in You County. The government may have suppressed the news, but the nephew of a friend of mine works as a catcher in You County.

Even he fled back and took his family away. Do you think You County is a place where you can go?"

"This"

Duan Jingrui was speechless for a moment.

He can't say that there is also a plague in Yuncheng, so you should go to other places.

It’s hard to say this.

Because it is not an easy thing for ordinary people to go to a city.

Judging from the unkempt appearance and ragged clothes of these people, it was obvious that they had traveled a long distance before arriving in Yuncheng.

If we extinguish the last hope in their hearts at this time, I am afraid it will cause an unknown amount of panic.

Li Qingwan and others naturally heard the people's answers and couldn't help but frown.

"Sir, it seems that not only Yuncheng, but also several cities around here have been affected by the plague."

It is not difficult to speculate.

The local government has always reported good news but not bad news to Shangtou County.

When a plague breaks out in the area under their jurisdiction and a large number of people die, the first thing an official will do is not report it to the county and ask for support.

But suppressing the matter first will be the best way to cure it and it will be a great achievement.

If you can't cure it, your death will be in vain. You can't let this kind of thing be exposed, otherwise they will lose their official positions and be punished.

Only when it can no longer be suppressed, or when too many people die, can officials notify their superiors and ask for help.

Liu Pengfei, the magistrate of Yuncheng County, knew that Tie Tang had become the new county governor and considered him one of his own, so he chose to report the plague as soon as it broke out.

If Liu Pengfei also chose to hide it and not report it, by the time Tie Tang found out about the outbreak of the plague, corpses would have been everywhere and people would have almost died.

Li Qingwan thought for a moment and made a quick decision.

"Bi Qi went back and informed Tie Tang, asking him to send more manpower to the city near Yuncheng. Wang Lingshi followed me to Youxian and other places to control the specific situation in real time.

The rest are waiting to appease the local and foreign people, and set up plague isolation areas to prevent them from coming into contact with other people."

"Yes, sir!"

Tie Tang, who is far away in Qingshui City, does not know that there is a big problem in the area under his jurisdiction. He is still waiting for Wan Xiuxian to return in Tie Mansion.

Fang Pengyi also started to set up the formation. Once the star flags were built, it would only take a day or two to set up the formation.

Once the city defense formation falls, Tie Tang no longer has any scruples and can use most of his methods unscrupulously.

This is the thought.

Tie Tang couldn't help but think about the beautiful scenery in the future, and he was somewhat proud of his own methods.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two figures fell one after another, not Wan Xiuxian, but Tianwen and Li Geng who had returned to their true bodies.

As soon as Li Geng landed, he said worriedly: "Brother Tie, I was just watching from the sky, and I saw a gloomy look in the Lu family. The energy of heaven and earth turned into dragons and horses galloping, and the energy of the underworld came from within. I am afraid that a big change is about to happen."
"Oops, that guy can't stand it anymore?" Tie Tang knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.

Fang Pengyi's eyes flashed, and his eyes penetrated the layers of stone walls, ignoring the geographical difference, and looked in the direction of Lu Mansion.

"The great road is in disarray, but the charm is feeding back. It seems that fellow Taoist can't wait for the New Year."

Tie Tang couldn't help but asked anxiously: "Senior, will something happen?"

"It should be fine. The Lu family also has an immortal god who is also in the house at this time. If he can suppress the heroes, there will be no disasters and a smooth ride."

Hmm?

The Lu family actually has an immortal god?

This was beyond Tie Tang's expectation, but it was reasonable. After all, it was a thousand-year-old family, so it should not be underestimated.

"Since there is still an immortal god present, there should be no dissent between the Lu family and other local aristocratic families."

Tie Tang said this, but he still felt a little panicked for no reason.

"No, no, no, what else could mess with me?"

He paced back and forth in the courtyard with an uneasy look on his face, which made both Tian Wen and Li Geng a little confused.

Tian Wen warned: "Tietou, why don't a god die? You may not have seen that scene, but I have seen a Buddha passing away in the door.

It may sound ugly, but it’s still a good thing to say!

When these immortal gods who have participated in creation die, their earth-shattering cultivation will feed back the world. The stronger the immortal is after death, the greater the benefit will be to Qingshui City.

As a county guard now, this kind of thing is like an achievement falling from the sky. Without you having to do anything, Qingshui City will soon become a paradise-like existence.

Such good things are about to happen, why do you need to worry?"

Li Geng also offered words of comfort: "Although what the monk said is unpleasant, it is also true. The reason why our Taoism and Buddhism continue to flourish is partly due to this aspect.

After the death of those immortal overlords, they gave back to the heaven and earth, allowing us to nourish the holy land in our sect and become stronger every time.

Over time, no matter how barren the earth is, it will turn into a first-class cave in the world."

"No, no." Tie Tang shook his head repeatedly.

"I don't know what the specific matter is, but my soul has a feeling that Zifu is like a thousand needles. Something bad for me must be about to happen, or it may have already happened.

Is it because I lost too much essence and blood?"

Tian Wen suddenly clapped his hands: "Oh no, it's that old oily guy who is harming you!"

"This" Li Geng was also startled when he heard this.

This time he did not refute Tianwen again, because Tie Tang's induction was unmistakable, and based on what had happened so far, Wan Xiuxian was at least suspicious.

"Impossible, what kind of person is Senior Wan? How could he try to harm me?" Tie Tang shook his head repeatedly.

Fang Pengyi was shocked by these words.

After a brief inquiry, they found out that Wan Xiuxian had taken away 218 drops of Tie Tang's heart essence and blood.

"Fang will guarantee with his life that Brother Wan will never harm you."

"Senior, you are worrying too much. What the great monk said is all nonsense. Don't take it to heart. Tie is also convinced that the immortal official is a human being and has never had a single doubt."

Time flies by.

Another half an hour passed, and Tie Tang's panic still did not weaken a bit, and even got worse.

Just when he was restless

Panting, Biqi and Tiehu arrived.

As soon as he saw Bi Qi, Tie Tang knew there was a problem in Yuncheng.

"Why are you back?"

"Brother Tang, it's not good. There is also a large-scale plague infection in the cities near Yuncheng. The outbreak may even occur before Yuncheng."

"What?" Tie Tang was shocked.

But he couldn't help but ask carefully. The scent of fragrance hit his nose, and a purple figure suddenly appeared in front of Tie Tang in the bright moonlight, like a fairy coming from the dust.

"The rightful owner is here!"
