Becoming an Immortal from the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 178
Wu You was startled when he heard this, and looked at the young man in surprise.

I saw the young man put half of the candle on the ground, opened his back basket, took out a small paper bag from it and handed it to Wu You:

"I have some sun flower powder here. Divide it into three parts. Take one part with dew every day. It can help you get rid of evil spirits. But this is only a temporary solution. Only staying away from evil spirits is the long-term solution."

Wu You took the small paper bag and couldn't help but feel a little grateful. She asked, "Are you a doctor?"

The young man smiled slightly: "That's right."

There was joy in Wu You's eyes, and he said: "I have met many doctors, and none of them have the ability to see the crux of the disease at a glance like you. You must be a very good doctor, the kind of doctor who can cure any disease!"

The young man sighed slightly, then smiled and said, "It's easy to save people, but hard to save the world."

Wu You thought for a while and asked expectantly, "Then can you revive Xie Chong as an adult?"

The young man was dumbfounded for a while, and said helplessly: "Bringing the dead back to life, that's nothing but illusion, no one has such great ability."

Wu You was a little disappointed, but she immediately saluted the young man and said:

"Although I am young, I also know how to repay kindness. If you send me medicine, I will definitely repay you. I haven't asked my benefactor's name yet!"

The young man laughed, then smoothed his hair, straightened his body and said:

"Little girl, my name is not small. Have you ever heard of Fang Qian, the 'little gentleman with a jade face' who is 'unyielding and unyielding, and the heroic spirit is exhausted'? This is it."

Wu You blinked her big eyes in a daze, and shook her head.

The young man who called himself Fang Qian sighed sadly: "Little girl, you have little knowledge and little knowledge, and you will have to inquire more about things outside in the future, so you will gain more knowledge."

"Oh" Wu You said, "I am the daughter of the Wu family in Pengcheng, and I will definitely give brother Fang Qian a reward tomorrow!"

"Pengcheng?" Fang Qian was overjoyed when he heard this, "How far is this place from Pengcheng?"

Wu You replied, "Just walk a few miles to the east."

Fang Qian clapped his hands happily: "Great! I finally arrived in Pengcheng! If my horse hadn't died early, I wouldn't have walked for such a long time. Now I must find a place to sleep, take a bath and change clothes, and find ten beautiful girls who are coughing and coughing. Speaking of little sister, who is he?"

The "he" Fang Qian was referring to was Zhang Yuqing not far away.

Wu You glanced at Zhang Yuqing, with fear in her big eyes, and said hesitantly, "He is...my uncle."

Fang Qian noticed that something was wrong with Wu You, and he continued to ask: "Then what are you and your uncle doing here this late at night?"

Wu You stammered more and more: "We came out to play."

Fang Qian seemed to understand. He reached out and touched his bosom, and found an official seal.

I saw that this official seal was very unique. It was engraved with a beast pierced and nailed by long nails. This beast was shaped like a bull, with one eye and a snake tail.

Fang Qian waved the official seal in front of Wu You, and said: "I am the imperial court's anti-epidemic envoy. I am an official, so I can take care of some things. Little sister, if you really have something to hide, you might as well tell me."

Hope began to rekindle in Wu You's eyes. She looked at Fang Qian and hesitated to speak, and began to struggle in her heart whether to tell the story.Fang Qian seems to be an official, wondering if he can help him.But in Pengcheng, officials seem to have no effect.

When my father and elders encountered problems, they never went to the government, they always asked people from Xingmohai to deal with them.

At this moment, Zhang Yuqing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Plague exorcist? Could it be that a plague is about to break out in Pengcheng?"

Zhang Yuqing used to work in the government, so he has some understanding of some special official positions.

For example, the watchman of the night patrol is to prevent the enemy's evil spirits from wreaking havoc.And the plague exorcist is responsible for expelling the plague.

It's just that I didn't expect that this epidemic exorcist was also served by a child from a noble family.

Wherever the plague exorcist appears, there must be a plague.I finally planned to settle in Pengcheng, but I didn't expect another disaster to happen.

Fang Qian said with a sneer: "I'm not very popular in my job. I'm telling you, don't talk nonsense, so as not to cause unnecessary panic among the people. If everyone knows my identity, who will entertain me warmly? I'm afraid it will be too late for everyone to avoid me, lest I bring bad luck."

Wu You didn't have a deep understanding of the plague, only heard about it from his elders.She couldn't help asking: "Will the plague kill many people?"

Fang Qian nodded: "Have you ever seen an ant nest? The countless ants that are busy shuttle back and forth are like the people of the Xue Kingdom. They look like a lot, but they are very fragile. A little bit of natural or man-made disaster will cause countless deaths and injuries. The most serious disaster in the world is war.

Especially in protracted and large-scale wars, the population of a city disappears rapidly under the sharp blade of the cavalry like ice cubes thrown into boiling water.Everyone is busy killing people, and no one is farming, and famine will follow.After the war, there were thousands of miles of barren land, starvation and death everywhere, and ten rooms and nine empty houses.

Fortunately, as Tianzi called, the princes responded. There has been no war for decades, and the world has tended to be peaceful.However, there are other disasters that will reduce the population sharply, and the plague is one of them.If it is not prevented and dealt with in time, many people will still die.It's like pouring a pot of boiling water directly into the ant nest.

This time, Pengcheng is considered to be one of the places where the plague may occur in the near future, so I am responsible for running errands to come here to do the drudgery of early investigation.It’s a bit bitter, but I can meet beautiful girls from all over the world. Thinking about it carefully, I’m still a little happy.”

After Zhang Yuqing listened, he understood in his heart that the aristocratic family tried to avoid eliminating disasters in order to stabilize the population.Otherwise, people will die, what will they use for sacrifices.

Although the population is used as a tribute currency by the aristocratic family, they also have a certain positive effect on the growth of the population.

Just laughing for a while, Fang Qian suddenly came back to his senses, and coughed twice: "That's a bit far-fetched, rude and rude. Little sister, do you have anything you want to say to me?"

After being interrupted for a while, the hesitation in Wu You's heart finally disappeared. She lowered her head and said, "Thank you, my lord. I... have nothing to say."

Fang Qian shook his head helplessly, then stood up and carried the backpack: "Okay, after resting for so long, I have to continue on the road. After arriving in Pengcheng, there are still many things to be busy."

With that said, Fang Qian walked out of the earthen house.

When he reached the door, he stopped suddenly: "Little sister, I remember you said that you are the daughter of the Wu family in Pengcheng. Don't worry, I will come to your house tomorrow to collect the medicine money from you."

While speaking, Fang Qian's eyes fixed on Zhang Yuqing.

This sentence can be regarded as a warning, clearly indicating that Fang Qian himself will go to Wu's house tomorrow to inquire about Wu You's news.If something happened to Wu You, he would know immediately.

After finishing speaking, Fang Qian stepped out of the earthen house and headed towards Pengcheng.

In this dense night, he did not stop, gradually drifting away, gradually disappearing.

Inside the earthen house, it became quiet again.

As time passed, a chill suddenly struck, and the horses outside the house neighed in terror.

After a while, with a burst of blood and rancid smell, a woman's figure entered from outside the earthen house.

She also held a bloody human head in her hand, the fracture was uneven, obviously bitten off.

Zhang Yuqing took the head and held it in his hand for a closer look: "It's Shang Yuan, that's right."

The woman seemed to be aroused by the bloody smell, and she didn't answer for a long time, but suddenly rushed towards him, fiercely, and suddenly turned around and rushed towards Wu You midway.

Seeing the woman rushing towards him suddenly, Wu You screamed in fright and kept backing away.

Zhang Yuqing was even faster, and in a blink of an eye, he came behind the woman and slapped her away.

The woman struggled to get up from the ground, stared at Zhang Yuqing with resentment and roared in a low voice, but in the end she still didn't dare to move forward.

She turned her head to look at Wu You, regained some sanity, and tried to soften her expression: "Wu You, take care"

Wu You also looked at the woman and nodded.

After finishing speaking, although the woman looked sad, she still left slowly.

She walked out of the earthen house and walked towards the boundless night.

Zhang Yuqing was not in a hurry to leave, he took Wu You outside the house, smelling the blood that wafted from the night wind.

After a long time, Zhang Yuqing said suddenly: "Can you go back by yourself?"

Wu You froze for a moment, then nodded.

Zhang Yuqing no longer cared about Wu You, and chased after the female ghost alone.

This time, the female ghost did not appear as strangely as when she came, but left in a fixed direction.

Zhang Yuqing was full of curiosity about the strange way of the female ghost's sudden appearance.

There is still a lot of bloody smell left on the female ghost's body, so it is not difficult to track her down.

After tracking for a while, to Zhang Yuqing's surprise, the female ghost stopped only four miles away from the earthen house.

This place is a mass grave.

There is a small hillside here, and there are many blue or green will-o'-the-wisps floating on the hillside.

Messy graves spread all over, like tumors growing on the hillside.Most of the graves have no tombstones, and the grass is overgrown on them, which is extremely desolate.

Most of the people buried in this kind of place are poor and poor people, or people with low status who are not qualified to enter the family grave, and there are also some people whose status is not visible.

Among the weeds, there are even skeletons exposed on the ground.Some tattered straw mats were blown up by the night wind, and the carrion corpses inside were terrifying and eerie.

What is strange is that there is a layer of yellow mist flowing slowly on this mass grave, gathering without dissipating, like a wriggling yellow giant python.

I saw the female ghost floating in front of the yellow mist, and the mist seemed to feel something and moved violently.

The yellow mist slowly condensed towards the center, then spiraled and twisted, and then suddenly dissipated.

Zhang Yuqing faintly saw from a distance that a door made of mist appeared in the yellow mist.

The yellow mist forms the frame of the door, but there is a deep darkness inside the door.

The female ghost stepped into the twisted door without hesitation, followed by the door and gradually disappeared under the mist, leaving only the yellow mist still in the air.

Looking at all this, Zhang Yuqing was puzzled: "What is this thing? This place is only more than ten miles away from Pengcheng, and there is such a foreign object. Could it be that no one noticed it?"

The female ghost has known Wu You for a long time, and this weird door will not appear for a short time.

Zhang Yuqing observed quietly for a while, and found that there was no other abnormal movement in the yellow mist.

In the end, Zhang Yuqing decided to go up and take a look. There were such weird things near Pengcheng, which made people feel uneasy.

Walking up the mass grave and stepping over the carrion bones, Zhang Yuqing was also in the yellow mist.He came to the place where the door disappeared and searched carefully.

However, the yellow mist was like ordinary water mist, except for soaking Zhang Yuqing's hair and clothes, there was no other difference.

As for the door, it did not appear.Not even a hint of it ever being there.

After the search turned out to be fruitless, Zhang Yuqing even wondered if he should yell Zhima to open the door.

"Evil spirits can enter, but humans can't. Is that why they have not been discovered? Or have they been discovered, but there is nothing they can do?"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yuqing raised his hand with flames, and punched towards the center of the dense fog.

The flame in his hand was hit by a huge force, and a fire dragon was shot out, and the thick fog was instantly dispersed and smashed on the side of a lonely grave, burning the nearby weeds into ashes.

However, the door seen earlier still did not appear.

"Is there no other way?" Zhang Yuqing frowned.

He pondered for a while, condensed the internal force converted from the monster energy in his body, then condensed it on his fingertips, and stretched it towards Huang Wu.

When Zhang Yuqing's finger touched the yellow mist, the yellow mist shrank suddenly as if it was alive, and then condensed and condensed, just like the appearance of a female ghost.

"I see."

Zhang Yuqing watched quietly as the yellow mist gradually gathered and then spread outward, when a door reappeared.

The inside of the door is dark and deep, as if leading to another time and space.

Standing in front of the door, Zhang Yuqing couldn't help hesitating, whether he should go in or not.

After thinking about it, he decided not to take any risks, but stretched out a hand towards the door, wanting to see what was behind it.

Stretching his arm into the door, the darkness inside the door rippled like water waves, and Zhang Yuqing's hand seemed to reach into the black water.

It was cold and cold, and there seemed to be wind.

suddenly!

Zhang Yuqing felt a cold hand grab his wrist suddenly, and tried to drag him into the door.

This made Zhang Yuqing frowned, and he asked inside the door: "Is that you? It's best not to make trouble."

However, no one answered the door.

The cold hand was getting stronger and stronger, trying to grab Zhang Yuqing's wrist and drag it.

However, there seemed to be a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and Zhang Yuqing didn't even move his body.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yuqing grabbed the hand instead, and then dragged it out towards the door.
