Li Muqiang held on and rescued a few more people, but finally he couldn't squeeze out a drop of mana.
Capt. Zhao helped him sit down, handed him a piece of spiritual jade, and said: "The remaining patients are all patients with mild symptoms. Their lives will not be in danger in a short time. You can recover your mana first and save it later."
Not too late."
Li Mu held the spiritual jade in his hand, meditating and adjusting his breath, while also observing the power of thought in his body.
These powers are not directly refined by him like soul power and courage, but are hidden within his body.
He rested for a while, and a large group of people came from outside the village.
The village has been completely sealed off. An old official from the county government stood at the entrance of the village and said sternly: "Stop anyone who comes!"
A rich man in official uniform glanced at him and said, "I am the magistrate of Yang County. Is Capt. Zhao here?"
Capt. Zhao walked out, hugged the rich man and said, "I have met County Magistrate Chen."
County Magistrate Chen smiled and said: "It's such a small matter, why bother Mr. Zhao to go there himself."
Zhao Captou said coldly: "If I don't go there personally, County Magistrate Chen will seal all the people in this village inside the village, right?"
County Magistrate Chen shook his head and said: "No one wants something like this to happen. Once the plague spreads, it will cause a greater disaster. As a county magistrate, more than a hundred lives and a thousand lives will be lost."
Compared with ten thousand things, it is nothing. I have to focus on the overall situation. I believe that even the imperial court can understand what I am doing..."
Capt. Zhao didn't say much. Strictly speaking, County Magistrate Chen did nothing wrong in this matter, but as long as his conscience is still there, any local official would not treat the lives of more than a hundred people under his jurisdiction as a single person.
Cold numbers.
He probably only has political achievements in his eyes.
Zhao Captou said calmly: "The epidemic in this village has been controlled. There is no way to rescue the plague. The county government will handle the epidemic in Yang County, so you don't need to worry about it anymore."
County Magistrate Chen smiled and said, "Of course it's best. If Capt. Zhao needs help with anything, just ask."
After saying that, he left with a group of government officials.
The villagers knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Mu and others several times. The village leader breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for your life-saving grace, otherwise, the county magistrate would really kill our entire village."
Let the people die..."
Li Mu recovered his magic power and began to continue saving people.
In the process of rescuing people, he learned that the magistrate of Yang County seemed to have a bad reputation in the county, and the people were quite critical of him.
Capt. Zhao sighed and said: "The emergence of such a parent official in Yang County is a real hardship to the people of Yang County."
Li Mu had just heard that County Magistrate Chen was in Yang County. He was negligent and exploited the people. He did a lot of things and even took human lives. He used Buddha's light to save people and asked at the same time: "Master County Sheriff"
Don’t you care?”
"It can't be controlled." Capt. Zhao shook his head and said, "He has people in the court, and the county governor has reported it to the court several times, but he was suppressed all the time."
Li Mu can understand this. The official position of county magistrate is not big if you want to say it is big, but it seems not small if you want to say it is small. At least the chief official of a county does not have the power to appoint or remove the county magistrate. This power is only
Only the imperial court has it.
Even if it is just a small county magistrate, as long as there is someone above him, even the county guard cannot touch him easily.
After rescuing the last person, Capt. Zhao said to Li Mu: "You can rest here first, and I will go with them to the village in front to see."
Li Mu said: "It's okay, I'm okay."
Although he also wanted to rest, saving people was more important. The village in front was the source of the plague. The epidemic was getting more serious, and patients would die at any time.
Compared with human life, his fatigue is nothing at all.
Zhao Captou tried to persuade him a few times, but seeing Li Mu insisting, he stopped trying to persuade him.
After a few people arranged everything and left this village, they were actually somewhat prepared in their hearts for the situation in the preceding villages.
But when they came to the next village a few miles away, the scene in front of them was beyond everyone's expectations.
The village did not suffer from the tension and panic of the plague. There was a large pot at the entrance of the village, and dark medicinal juice was boiling in the pot. The villagers in this village were lining up in an orderly manner, and each person took a drink from the pot.
Scoop a bowl of concoction...
Capt. Zhao walked up to a villager and asked, "How is the plague in the village?"
The man showed a smile on his face and said: "Originally, most of the people were sick, and everyone thought that the village was doomed. Thanks to a miracle doctor, he said that we had the plague and prescribed a wonderful prescription for us. We followed this prescription.
After taking medicine, everyone was cured..."
Lin Yue thought for a while and asked curiously: "Can you show me this recipe?"
The villager looked embarrassed, thought for a moment, and said, "I have to ask the miracle doctor about this."
He strode away, and soon came back, saying embarrassedly: "The miracle doctor said that this prescription is only for this kind of plague. If there is no symptom, the antidote will turn into poison. Once it spreads, it will be used by those quack doctors."
If used indiscriminately, it will cause disaster..."
Lin Yue apologized and said, "I was the one who was rude."
He walked to the big pot at the entrance of the village and looked at it, then queued up and scooped out a bowl of soup. After tasting it, he walked up to Li Mu and others and said doubtfully: "It's strange, these are the most basic and common ones.
How can a decoction that clears away heat and detoxify be effective against plague..."
Capt. Zhao smiled and said: "There are so many prescriptions in the world, and you still know them all. Whether they are common or uncommon, as long as they can cure the plague, it is a good medicine..."
He leaned against a tree at the entrance of the village, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "As long as it's okay, it'll be okay..."
Li Mu had just inquired about it. Because of the appearance of this miracle doctor, all the people in the previous villages infected with the plague had been cured, and no one died.
The timely appearance of this miracle doctor allowed him to complete his errand ahead of schedule, and he might be able to return to the county town within today.
It is a pity that if Li Mu personally rescued the patients in these villages, the amount of merit he would gain would be extremely huge.
Li Mu rested against a big tree at the entrance of the village and suddenly noticed a familiar power fluctuation.
It is the fluctuation of merit thoughts.
He silently recited the Qingxin Jue, and all the villagers felt this power.
However, these merit thoughts do not belong to him, and Li Mu cannot absorb them.
They emerged from the bodies of these villagers and rushed to one place.
Li Mu looked over and saw a middle-aged man wearing a gray robe walking out of the village surrounded by people.
Several villagers asked: "Miracle doctor, are you leaving?"
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "The plague here has been resolved. Human lives are at stake. I have to go to other villages to prevent more people from suffering."
Muramasa came up, holding a cloth bag, and said: "The people of Zhoujia Village can't repay the life-saving grace of the miracle doctor. We collected some money and expressed our feelings, and asked the miracle doctor to accept it."
The middle-aged man shook his head, smiled, and said: "Doctors are kind-hearted. I treat illnesses and save people not for this reason. You can take back these silver coins."
Muramasa insisted several times, but was rejected by the miracle doctor.
Muramasa could only give up, turned around, and said to the villagers: "The miracle doctor will not accept the payment, so everyone kowtows to the miracle doctor to thank him..."
After he finished speaking, at the entrance of Zhoujia Village, all the villagers, men, women, old and young, knelt down one after another, facing the miracle doctor, and kowtowed three times respectfully.
Li Mu noticed that more meritorious thoughts flowed out of their bodies and poured into the body of the miracle doctor.
This scene made him a little envious, but not jealous.
He saves lives and heals the wounded without taking any reward. This miracle doctor is so benevolent that he can bear their worship.
This miracle doctor had a noble character and gave Li Mu the impression that he was a practicing practitioner.
Li Mu used his clairvoyance to observe it, and then couldn't help but be stunned.
The magic doctor's body was filled with demonic aura, and he turned out to be a monster.
It's just that the demonic energy in him is pure and clear, without any turbidity, and he is following the path of righteous cultivation.
In the eyes of the people, monsters are aliens that harm people, but in fact, many monsters are very pure in nature, uphold Buddhism and Taoism, and are kinder than humans. On the contrary, they are more frightening than humans because of their human nature.
This miracle doctor's Taoism is obviously much better than that of Li Mu, and he is at least a fourth-level demon cultivator. Li Mu can see his demonic aura, but cannot see through his true body.
Curious in his heart, he held Bai Yi in his hand and secretly communicated with Mrs. Chu, asking her to pass part of the magic power to Li Mu through the scabbard.
After a while, Li Mu felt the mana filling his body, and used his clairvoyance again to look at the miracle doctor.
I saw a monster in gray clothes standing in front of everyone in Zhoujia Village.
