Chapter 130 Plague ([-])

When Jiang Yuan left the city, the sky had already darkened, and the city gate happened to be closed.

However, the officers and soldiers guarding the city did not dare to stop Jiang Yuan, so they had to reopen the city gate for him to let him go.

Inside the prison-like wooden fence outside the city, many patients were lying on the fence, screaming in pain, crying in despair, or staring blankly outside.The scene is dark and depressing, like a ghost land.

The wooden fence has been locked with iron chains, but the officers and soldiers guarding it have disappeared.

Qingniu Village is one day away from Pengcheng, if you hurry up, you can shorten the time by half.

Jiang Yuan just rushed from Qingniu Village to Pengcheng today, and now he turned back and walked out of Pengcheng not far away, but the sky has gradually darkened.

A little farther away from Pengcheng, Ye Qiong was like a huge pitch-black cauldron, upside down on the vast land.

Behind is the outline of Pengcheng in the depths, and in front, there is a long dragon of torches slowly coming towards Pengcheng.

When he got closer, Jiang Yuan realized that there were countless people pulling up a long line, dragging their families and leading their families, and they came to Pengcheng together along the official road.

The torches danced in the night wind, illuminating the terrifying faces of the people.

These are all people infected with the plague. The skin ulcers on their faces occupy a large area, and yellow-white pus can be seen flowing out from time to time.

Unlike the listless situation during the day, these patients at this time seem to have recovered their normal energy, and they don't seem to feel tired even after a long journey.

"Why do they all go to Pengcheng?"

While Jiang Yuan was wondering, these people gradually bypassed Jiang Yuan's horses and continued on their way.

Suddenly, Jiang Yuan felt the slightest bit of ghost energy around him, and they all moved towards his body.

"This is the way the plague spreads?"

Those ghost auras came from the surrounding people, and the ghost aura that was nourished by the vitality of the people has become a bit thicker than in the daytime.

Not only are they entrenched in the people's bodies like cobweb roots, but as the sun recedes, they also extend like tentacles, wandering in the surrounding air.

The target of these ghosts is not the patients infected with the disease, but the healthy living people.

The ghost qi entered Jiang Yuan's body, so naturally it couldn't harm Jiang Yuan, but was swallowed and absorbed by him continuously.

Among the long line of civilians, someone suddenly shouted:

"Look! Pengcheng is right ahead! We are about to be saved!"

A group of people also saw the tall Pengcheng under the night, they all cheered loudly, and the speed of moving forward became faster and faster.

Jiang Yuan stopped a passing citizen and asked:

"Old man, what are you doing in Pengcheng?"

The passer-by was an old man. He took a look at Jiang Yuan and replied:
"Today, the Pengcheng government and Xingmohai split the helm and sent out fast horses and flying pigeons to inform everyone that the plague exorcist had arrived in Pengcheng to distribute elixir to cure the disease. So we all rushed over immediately. People who live far away from Pengcheng are still there. Later, we will see more people rushing here tomorrow."

At this time, a little girl and a little boy emerged from behind the old man, looking curiously at Jiang Yuan who was riding a tall horse.

Jiang Yuan also looked at the two children, who were almost as old as Qian Luo.

But the skin on the faces of these two young children also festered a lot, which made the two clever and lovely children a little weird.

Their little hands scratched their faces, and as their nails scratched, more skin was broken, and blood mixed with pus flowed down.

The old man hastily reprimanded and slapped their hands to stop them from scratching, then sighed to Jiang Yuan:
"This is my grandchildren. They are fine during the day, but after the sun goes down they are infected young people. Although you look healthy, it is hard to say whether you have been infected. But I suggest you go Pengcheng asked Mr. Epidemiologist to take a look."

Jiang Yuan thanked him, and the old man left with the child.

Riding on horseback, Jiang Yuan looked at the people who were constantly surging towards Pengcheng.

Under the threat of life and death from the epidemic, they also rushed to Pengcheng overnight regardless of the danger of the night.

The news they said that the exorcist can cure the disease is quite different from the news they personally got from Fang Qian.

Faintly, Jiang Yuan had a bad premonition.
He was about to continue riding forward when he suddenly felt a chilly ghostly aura.

Jiang Yuan's eyes froze, and he pointed at a shadow not far away who was dodging among the common people with his whip:

"You stop for me!"

Seeing that he was spotted, the man in black robe walked towards Jiang Yuan immediately, and at the same time lifted the hood on his head, revealing a deserted face, it was Princess Youyue.

Jiang Yuan said coldly:
"I told you, you are not allowed to go to Pengcheng without my consent! Do you think my words are deaf ears?"

Of course, Princess Youyue didn't want to sit still and wanted to enter Pengcheng at night to find her sister.

At this time, Jiang Yuan found out that her eyes were full of anger, and she was about to speak, but suddenly a pleasantly surprised voice came from Jiang Yuan's back:

"Sister Youyue!"

Princess Youyue trembled all over, and finally saw the wood carving on Jiang Yuan's back.

Jiang Yuan raised his horsewhip and lashed the woodcarving behind him, making the woodcarving silent.

He didn't want to stand out in the public because a wooden sculpture could speak.

Jiang Yuan pointed at a place far away from the people's ranks with his whip, and said to Princess Youyue:

"Just looking for you, let's talk in the past."

Then Jiang Yuan flicked the reins, and rode away towards the distance.

Princess Youyue has no choice, even though her younger sister is right in front of her eyes, she can't take it back, she can only follow Jiang Yuan away.

After gradually getting away from the people, Jiang Yuan finally stopped when there was no one else around.

He jumped off his horse, took out the scroll in his arms and unfolded it on the ground, pointing to Wushe City and Fengyi, he said:

"I plan to use the ghost gate to teleport to these two places with red dots. But I can't find an accurate teleportation platform. Help me, I can consider letting your sister go."

Princess Youyue looked at Jiang Yuan suspiciously, and then said slowly while carefully checking the map:
"You want to get medicine? The two places you mentioned, one is Wushe City, and the other is Fengyi, Chen Guo. I remember that Fengyi is rich in eclipse grass, but these two places are guarded by masters from the royal family. , that area was cut off by their array, and the ghost gate couldn’t be opened there. This road won’t work.”

Princess Youyue was once the daughter of the prince of Wushe County, so she has a wide range of knowledge and has been involved in a lot.Not only did he recognize that the red dot was the place where the eclipse grass was produced, but he also knew that the ghost gates in those two places were impassable.

Jiang Yuan's breathing was stagnant, and his fists were clenched, this was the first time he had heard of this.

If he can't use the ghost gate to go back and forth, his plan will be completely in vain.

Running back and forth like this, is it still nothing in the end?
Qian Luo's life cannot be saved, her disease will soon infect Li Siyan, Chen Yin, and Ding Ze, and none of the four children will survive.

"I thought I was already very strong." Jiang Yuan's thoughts were confused for a moment, he clenched his teeth, "Could it be that I can't even save four children?"

In such a dark and chaotic world, Jiang Yuan's first thought is to survive.

But what about after being able to survive?What about when you are strong enough?What about when you will no longer be treated like a fish?

Jiang Yuan doesn't think that he is an iron superman with a strong will, who can get rid of human emotions and desires.

He needs many things, not only strength and power, but also many things that even ordinary people pursue.

The expression on his face became ferocious, and he let out a low growl like a beast, and a violent and ferocious feeling kept flooding his brain.

His head drooped, and what others couldn't see was that his face was changing rapidly in a strange way, switching and merging between the two faces of Duan Shang Jun Yu and Jiang Yuan.

At this time, Princess You Yue pointed to another place on the map:
"The place marked by the red dot is okay. This is a small country in the south of Shen. This place is rich in eclipse grass and the output is very large, enough to help Pengcheng survive this disaster. And here can be transmitted smoothly, I also know the transmission path."

Jiang Yuan suddenly raised his head, staring at Princess You Yue fiercely.

Without warning, Jiang Yuan swung out a punch, sending Princess You Yue flying.

Then Jiang Yuan roared:

"Can you finish your fucking speech at once?!"

Just a moment ago, Jiang Yuan's mind was in a turmoil, and Duan Shang Jun Yu almost took advantage of it.

Fortunately, things turned around later, and Jiang Yuan's mind quickly recovered.

Following the change of Jiang Yuan's expression, he covered his heart, and a few drops of magma-like blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

The battle in Fangcai's mind was not so easy, and even Jiang Yuan was injured.

Princess You Yue angrily got up from the ground and walked back step by step.

She didn't know why Jiang Yuan was going crazy, but fortunately, although Jiang Yuan shot with great strength, he didn't use the weird flames. Ordinary physical attacks had very little effect on ghosts.

Otherwise, if this full-strength punch is accompanied by raging fire, it can almost kill Princess Youyue with one punch.

Dryad Lin Yulin hastily persuaded:

"Speak well, everyone, don't fight!"

Jiang Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, straightened up and said angrily to Princess You Yue:
"Almost killed me, I don't care about this with you now. You have also seen that your sister is in my hands. I can make her burn from a tree to a pile of charcoal with a single thought. If you want to save her, Just take me to that place in Shen Country."

Princess You Yue looked at Jiang Yuan coldly:

"I can take you there, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the ghost gate in the mass grave, but you'd better not break your promise!"

Jiang Yuan replied:

"I always keep my word."

Princess Youyue finally looked at the wood carving behind Jiang Yuan, and a pair of desolate phoenix eyes also showed tenderness at this time:
"Yulin, don't be afraid, my sister will definitely save you."

After finishing speaking, Princess You Yue suddenly turned into a gust of black wind and swept towards the direction of the mass grave.

Jiang Yuan also shook the reins, and galloped his horse to chase Heifeng.

The horse walked up the official road and headed back in the direction of Pengcheng. The mass grave was in the suburbs west of Pengcheng, and they had to go back for a while.

As he gradually approached Pengcheng, Jiang Yuan could even hear the loud shouts of the people gathered at the gate of the city, as if begging the officers and soldiers guarding the city to open the gate.

Jiang Yuan didn't care too much, and was about to leave on horseback.

However, at this time, they suddenly heard a cry of panic from the people.

Then I saw the flames on the city wall, and countless officers and soldiers appeared on the wall. They drew their bows and arrows, pointing at the people below the city.
