Hearing Lin Yue's words, Capt. Zhao's heart skipped a beat and his face immediately darkened, "Are you sure?"
Li Mu clearly felt Capt. Zhao's nervousness and knew why he was so nervous.
Practitioners have created various magical methods and talismans and elixirs, which can cure all diseases and save all difficulties, but they are not omnipotent.
Although practitioners themselves will not suffer from some human diseases, such as plague, they can do nothing if they encounter them. They can only watch the patients' condition worsen and die. The imperial court's previous method of dealing with plague was to completely seal off the affected area until the patient died.
If all the sick people die, the epidemic will naturally stop spreading.
Lin Yue nodded solemnly and said: "It is definitely plague. I used to practice medicine with my master and encountered it before."
Capt. Zhao quickly asked: "Is there any way to cure it?"
Lin Yue shook his head and said: "The talisman is useless against this disease. The survival of those suffering from this disease depends entirely on God's will, unless they meet a powerful doctor or use a heaven-level talisman to help them reshape their bodies..."
Li Mu also didn't expect that the plague would be so difficult.
The Heavenly Talisman has the power of creation. Wu Bo's heart was crushed by Brother Qin at that time, and he was able to regenerate his body. It is not a problem to cure diseases and save people. The problem is that the people in Yang County who are suffering from the epidemic have a Heavenly Talisman in their hands, which is simply unrealistic.
Let alone one, it is impossible to get even one.
Since the rise of Buddhism and Taoism, schools of practice such as doctors, painters, and musicians have gradually declined. Now, even maintaining the Taoism is a problem. It is so easy to encounter it.
Capt. Zhao looked at Li Mu and asked nervously: "Can you save them?"
Li Mu had full confidence in the Buddha's light of the Heart Sutra, and said: "I will try my best. The plan for now is to isolate the village where the epidemic occurred as soon as possible, and no entry or exit is allowed, and then gather the sick people together.
Try to prevent more people from getting infected..."
Lin Yue nodded repeatedly and said: "Brother Li is right. In addition to these, we must eliminate rats as soon as possible to prevent the further spread of the plague."
Capt. Zhao first ordered a policeman to go back to the county office to report the situation, and then asked someone to come to the village center and block the roads at the entrance and end of the village, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting.
Then, he began to investigate the epidemic situation in the village.
The other two catchers took on the responsibility of exterminating rats.
Lin Yue asked them to dig a large pit in the village, fill it with water, and pour an unknown medicinal powder into it. After the medicinal powder blended in, it actually gave off a faint fragrance.
Soon, a whispering sound could be heard in everyone's ears.
Rats, either gray or black, appeared from various corners of the village, scrambling to be the first, and jumping into the puddles one after another.
After jumping into the puddle, they did not struggle and floated quietly on the water. After a while, the puddle was filled with floating mice, and no mice escaped from the surrounding area.
A catcher threw a talisman, and a raging fire ignited in the puddle, and all the rat carcasses were burned.
To completely eradicate plague, we must cut off its source.
After several people investigated, they found that the infection in the village was not serious. Only ten villagers were infected. Zhao Capt. gathered these ten people together. Lin Yue went out once and found some herbal medicine. He boiled it into a pot and mixed the decoction with it.
Distribute it to villagers who are not infected.
Li Mu was not idle either. After he washed the bodies of the ten people with Buddha's light, their symptoms gradually disappeared.
Li Mu gained a lot of merit from them, but also consumed a lot of mana, which made him envious of Buddhism, Taoism and the royal family.
If he wants to obtain merit or telepathy, he needs to do it himself, use his magic power, cure diseases and save lives, and rescue the wounded. But they only need to build Taoist palaces, temples, national temples, and erect a few statues or stone tablets to obtain the telepathy and merit offerings of the people.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, only the Buddhist and Taoist sects and the imperial court had this privilege.
If other people or forces dare to build temples privately, accept offerings from the people, and absorb the power of merit and virtue, they will be regarded as evil cultivators and destroyed in a matter of minutes.
So he could only envy him in his heart.
After treating these people, Li Mu sat aside to rest. Perhaps they discovered early that no one in this village had died of the epidemic yet. In order not to waste time, they would go to the next village in a quarter of an hour.
Lin Yue took advantage of his free time and came over and asked, "Brother Li, are you a Buddhist and a Taoist?"
Li Mu also just learned that this young man turned out to be a descendant of a medical family, so he nodded to him without denying it.
Lin Yue chatted with Li Mu for a few more words, mainly because he was curious about his Buddha's light. After asking Li Mu a few questions in confusion, he stopped talking, sat quietly in the corner, and took out a cloth from his sleeve.
Bag.
He opened the cloth bag, and Li Mu saw that there were dozens of silver needles of different lengths and thickness inserted in the bag.
Lin Yue took out a silver needle, transferred the magic power into it, and then inserted the needle into a certain acupuncture point on his wrist.
In a short time, he inserted more than ten silver needles into his body.
There are many kinds of cultivation methods in this world, including Buddhism and Taoism. There are some that he has never seen before, which is normal.
After arranging everything in this village, the few people rushed to the next village without any delay.
When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw the villagers confronting more than a dozen police officers.
The detectives all covered their mouths and noses with black cloth, held weapons in their hands, pointed at the villagers from a distance, and said loudly: "Your village is infected with the plague. We have ordered the county magistrate to cordon off this village. No one can wait.
No entry or exit allowed!”
A group of people gathered at the entrance of the village, looking sad and angry. The leader, an old man, said in a trembling voice: "There are dozens of families in the village. You don't care about the patients. You just sealed the village. You are forcing all of us in the village to die!"
The policeman said loudly: "The county magistrate said that it is worth abandoning your village in exchange for the safety of the people of Yang County. Do you want to implicate Yang County, or even the entire North County?"
"Bastard thing!"
Capt. Zhao kicked the captor away with his head and said angrily: "Is this how you treat the people?"
The policeman got up from the ground and said angrily: "Who are you? How dare you hinder us from doing our errands!"
"Blinding your dog's eyes!" Behind Capt. Zhao, an old county police officer kicked him to the ground again and said: "Go away, you have no right to speak here, go and call you adults!"
The policeman was about to curse again, but when he saw the clothes of several people, he quickly swallowed back the curse words that came to his throat.
An adult can afford to offend the people in the county government, but he, a young catcher, cannot afford to offend them.
After getting up from the ground, he rolled and crawled away with everyone.
Capt. Zhao walked to the entrance of the village and said to the old man: "We are county police officers, and we are here specifically for this plague. Old man, how is the situation in the village?"
Upon hearing that someone from the county government was coming, the villagers hurriedly welcomed a few people into the village.
When we were in the last village just now, several people had already discussed a series of procedures for controlling the epidemic.
First of all, in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the village must be closed, but the sick people cannot be ignored. They need to be isolated, treat those who are already sick, and prevent the emergence of new infected people.
Several people had a clear division of labor. Lin Yue and others were responsible for exterminating rats, while Li Mu was responsible for rescuing people.
Fortunately, no one has died in this village so far.
This should be great news. According to Lin Yue, plague is just a general term for plagues spread by rats. There are more than ten types that have been discovered. Each type has a different fatality rate and is harmful to the human body.
The hazards are different, and the drugs used to treat them are also different.
As for this kind of plague, no one infected has died so far, which shows that its harm is not that great. At least the patients will not die in a short time, leaving them enough time for treatment.
Li Mu had just saved ten people, and his mana had been consumed a bit, but he had not fully recovered yet.
The number of infected people in this village was even higher, a total of twenty-six. After Li Mu treated more than ten people, he felt that his magic power was a little exhausted. When he stood up, his body shook and he almost fell.
Capt. Zhao quickly supported him and said, "You should rest for a while. This time, we are all relying on you."
Li Mu also wanted to rest, but since he treated the first person, a steady stream of meritorious thoughts poured out from these patients, from their relatives, and from the people of this village. The speed of the magic power in Li Mu's body was unprecedented.
It went by so quickly.
This is a real, magical power that can increase the speed of practice. Once he starts, he doesn't want to stop.
Li Mu gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Help me up, I can still save..."
