Chapter 611
Minzhou, Qianye City, this was originally a famous big city in Minzhou, with a permanent population of nearly one million, but at this moment, there is an atmosphere of anxiety and anxiety everywhere.

The gates of the city were closed tightly, and the soldiers were wearing white scarves and wearing strong swords. They looked nervously outside the city gates. There were endless refugee camps there. It was initially estimated that there were no less than 100,000 people, and this number remained unchanged with the passage of time. Constantly increasing.

Not long ago, there was a severe drought in Minzhou. This time, the drought came at a strange speed, and the grain harvest in Minzhou was almost wiped out. Countless people were forced to flee and became refugees in order to survive.

Faced with such a situation, Chiba City responded immediately and immediately started disaster relief. The speed is not uncommon. If it is just a simple famine, Chiba City is not incapable of handling it, at least it will not let the situation collapse, but soon the refugees There was a plague outbreak in China, and it spread to ten or ten to a hundred, and the speed of transmission was extremely fast. Once infected, there was no cure for medicine and stones, and one could only wait for death. will die directly.

In order to prevent this terrible plague from spreading into the city, Chiba City could only stop the relief to the victims and immediately closed the city.

"Have you heard that a plague broke out in a small block of West City before, and now the City Lord's Mansion has ordered that block to be completely sealed off?"

Whispering and looking at the endless refugee camps, some soldiers shared the gossip they had heard.

Hearing this, someone immediately corrected him.

"It's no longer a ban. I heard that in order to prevent the outbreak of the plague in the city, the City Lord's Mansion has ordered it to be burned to a white ground."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the surrounding people changed instantly.

"True or not, that's thousands of lives, just burnt to death like this?"

As he spoke, the face of the speaker was full of disbelief.

"Is there any way to do this? This is what the old men in the inner city said. I heard that the plague is so weird that even those immortal old men can't solve it."

Looking around, an older soldier whispered.

Hearing this, everyone still couldn't believe it for a moment. In their eyes, immortals are almost omnipotent. This plague is really so severe that even the elder immortals in the inner city can't deal with it?
"But this is too much, this is thousands of lives!"

There was a trace of trance in the words, and some people still couldn't let go.

Hearing this, someone sneered.

"This is the best way. Once the plague breaks out, the lives of millions of people in this city will be threatened, including you and my family. Can you accept this?"

"I···"

Hesitating to speak, the atmosphere on the city wall suddenly became dull.

At this moment, a group of people who could not survive suddenly poured out of the refugee camp and ran towards the city gate, wanting to ask for a way out, but they were greeted by a rain of arrows, and everyone was shot to death on the spot.

Seeing such a scene, the eyes of the watching refugees were full of fear, but under the fear, there was also resentment growing.

A few people in yellow clothes huddled among the refugees and watched this scene silently. There was excitement in their eyes that was very different from other refugees. The more desperate the soil, the more pure faith can be bred, and it can give people when they are desperate. Their food, the White Lotus Sect who can resolve the plague on them will become the only savior in their eyes.

"Old mother Bailian, a vacuum hometown."

"Everyone, the world is like a furnace, and there are so many sufferings in the world. We must point out the direction for these lost lambs, and let them know that believing in their mother is their only way of salvation."

Withdrawing his gaze, the man with a sallow complexion who looked about forty years old spoke, his eyebrows glowed, reflecting a third-grade white lotus.

Hearing this, an irrepressible look of fanaticism appeared on their faces, and they made lotus seals in their hands. Several disciples in yellow clothes bowed in response, and a white lotus flower was reflected between their brows.

Not long after, a few people dispersed, as if a few drops of water had melted into the ocean, and there were no waves. However, it was at this time that a sect called the White Lotus Sect began to take root in this chaotic and hopeless land, and spread it with a kind of terror. The speed is growing.

And when the waves are about to rise outside the city, there are also undercurrents surging in Chiba City.

"Everyone, is there really no way to solve this plague?"

Looking across the crowd present, Xie Zhonghong, the lord of Chiba City, had a serious look on his face.

Due to historical reasons, the way of the emperor in the southeast Kyushu is not prosperous. Except for Taizhou, which had a Marquis of Taizhou before, the power of the Daying Dynasty in the other states has long since disappeared, and there is not even a name left. Minzhou is naturally the same. in this way.

All regions are governed with cities as the core, and the city lords are appointed by the Green Bamboo Sect, and those local tyrants are basically inextricably linked with the Green Bamboo Sect, and most of their families have worshiped the Green Bamboo Sect.

Hearing what the Lord of Qianye City said, they looked at each other, and everyone present shook their heads.

"City Lord, there is really no other way. We have tried everything that should be tried. The plague is so weird that even a few worshiping immortal masters can't do anything about it. The only solution for now is to rescue the Green Bamboo Sect."

After a moment of silence, a middle-aged man with a long beard and a fine attire spoke.

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people turned their attention to the city lord, waiting for his answer.

As the people in power in Chiba City, immortal cultivators are not so mysterious to them. Basically, every family enshrines several immortal cultivators, even some of their own. They clearly know that immortal cultivators are not omnipotent, but It is more clear that there are truly powerful immortal cultivators in the Green Bamboo Sect, and it is not wrong for those existences to say that they are immortals.

Sensing everyone's gazes, City Lord Xie Zhonghong's expression froze.

"Before, I sent a message to the emperor to clarify the situation of the plague, but the emperor thought it was just a common thing, let us deal with it ourselves."

With a stiff expression, Xie Zhonghong said.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all the people present changed drastically, and at this moment someone thought of something.

"I heard that there was a big change in the Green Bamboo Sect, and the old Sect Master has fallen. Could it be that this is true, so that they have no time to take care of other things?"

Hearing this, many people's eyes flickered. They had heard such rumors and didn't believe them before, but now it seems that it may not be groundless. If it is true, at this juncture they have to find another There is a way out.

"I don't know about the other circumstances, but the last sect has survived for thousands of years, so I think it won't be a big deal this time."

"The most important thing for us now is to control the epidemic and prevent it from breaking out in the city."

With a low voice, Xie Zhonghong spoke again.

Hearing this, the rest of the people nodded. This is the only way at present. As long as the epidemic does not break out in the city, there is room for everything to turn around. With the food and other materials stored in Chiba City, it will not be a problem to persist for a few years. At least for them.

But at this moment, someone hurried in from the outside.

"My lord, something bad happened. The north and south city gates were opened, and refugees flooded into the city."

He fell to the ground with a panicked expression, and a servant hurriedly opened his mouth to report.

Hearing this, after confirming the facts, the city lord Xie Zhonghong felt his eyes go dark, his head was dizzy, and he slumped on the seat weakly, while the faces of the others were not good-looking.

They don't care about the number of simple refugees, but many of these refugees have actually been infected with the plague, but it has not yet broken out. Their entry into the city means that the plague has completely lost control, and I am afraid it will not be long. Yecheng will become a hotbed of plague.

Thinking of such a future, everyone felt that the road ahead was gloomy.

A single spark can start a prairie fire, and an unknown fire is burning in southeastern Kyushu. What happened in Chiba City is just a microcosm.

Because it originated from the mundane world, the major immortal sects didn't care about it at the beginning. Disasters such as drought and plague have not happened before, but this year it's just a little bigger. After a period of time, it will naturally subside. It's completely self-contained as before.

And when the major immortal sects found out that something was wrong, the matter had reached the point of no return. Under such circumstances, the originally unknown White Lotus Sect suddenly spread to the southeast of Kyushu, as if white lotuses had grown all over Kyushu overnight.
