"Maybe it's Zhang Jiao's conspiracy again."
Zhong Heng couldn't remember the reason and said casually.
He looked at the people coming and going outside the door, groaning in pain from the disease. Some were no longer able to walk and could only lie on the road waiting to die. The streets of Julu changed from the usual bustling scene and became desolate.
Suddenly, I heard someone shouting outside the street, "Our disease can be cured. There is a god near the east gate who is opening an altar to perform rituals. He says it can cure our disease. Go and have a look."
Those people were originally prepared to wait for death, but when they heard that there was hope for life, they were greatly encouraged. Now they stood up and headed towards the east gate of Julu.
Naturally, the Zhong brothers also heard the good news and wanted to find out. They also quietly followed these patients, but kept a considerable distance. They were also afraid of being infected.
Finally, they arrived at the gathering place. In order to avoid being infected, they found a step at the East City Gate and had a panoramic view of the entire scene.
In the middle of the crowd, there was a man wearing yellow Bagua clothes. He looked very young. He was holding a wooden sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword was pointing at the sky. In front of him was a table with many spell papers on it. Directly ahead is a bowl containing an unknown liquid.
"Common people, I am a member of Taiping Dao. I passed by Julu and heard that there was a plague in the area. I stopped for a moment and counted with my fingers. I found that it was an invasion of evil spirits. If I don't stop it in time, it will be too late."
The man said as he walked around the table.
"Hey, the living god is here. May I ask if there is any solution?"
Some people who were suffering from the virus thought that he was sent by God to save the world, and they seemed very happy.
Other patients with milder symptoms stayed aside, seemingly waiting for this "immortal" to show his skills and see his true level.
"Okay, but this ghost is not simple. It is formed by people's resentment. It is not in the Three Realms. It is very difficult to conquer!"
The man squinted his eyes and described the difficulty of treatment.
After hearing this, people with severe symptoms changed their mood. They were afraid that the other party would not provide treatment, so they quickly took out all their money so that they could move to the front of the queue.
The man closed his eyes and turned a blind eye to the money sent to him. After a long time, he finally spoke, "Although this evil ghost is not in the Three Realms, it has a natural enemy, the Tao of Taiping. Only those who believe in the Tao of Taiping can can be treated.”
"But we don't know anything about the Tao of Taiping, how can we believe in it?"
This condition is very harsh and some people have questioned it.
The man smiled, this is very simple, it's up to you, come here and see how I can do it.
He knew that if he didn't show his hands, the crowd below would disperse, so he selected one person among the seriously ill patients, then quickly dipped his sword into the bowl with some liquid, and then made a stroke on the talisman paper on the table. The other hand is raised upright in front of the mouth, the neck is slightly tilted, the eyes are closed, the mouth is moving quickly, and some incantations are recited.
The patient with severe symptoms was a little confused and just watched his every move mechanically.
Finally the spell paper began to burn, and he quickly placed the hilt of the sword on the patient's head, then closed his eyes and began another spell.
After the spell was completed, he placed a small book in the patient's hands and asked him to recite the contents of the book verbatim in public.
"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand. If you are born in Jiazi, the world will be prosperous."
The patient had no hope for his condition in the first place, so he just cooperated casually when he was selected.
After reading the contents of the book, the patient closed his eyes and began to recite some contents silently.
After a long time, his eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes were filled with light. His condition and thoughts seemed to have undergone a fundamental reversal.
He walked slowly behind the man, bowed devoutly, and kept reciting "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky is standing. If you are born in Jiazi, the world will be prosperous."
The patient had already had difficulty walking at first. Unexpectedly, after such treatment, he actually had strong steps and held his head high. He did not look like he had been sick at all. At the same time, his temperament also changed greatly, and he seemed to be mentally healthy. After receiving the fundamental baptism, I have become a loyal believer in Taiping Tao.
At this time, the crowd exploded. Since most of the people were patients, they rushed to seek treatment, and the scene fell into chaos.
The man shouted: "Don't be anxious, everyone. Take the book first and read it over and over again. I will pull out the evil spirits for everyone one by one."
"How did that patient be cured? Do you see clearly?"
The second brother of the Zhong family who was on the steps of the east gate saw all this, but Zhong Ming was very confused and asked Zhong Heng next to him.
"I don't know, but there must be something fishy, especially that book. Do you think that even if it's just about curing illnesses, why would you want to become a believer in Taiping Tao?"
Zhong Heng finally replied to Zhong Ming.
"No matter, let's go back quickly and tell Yu Yi about this situation to see what he has to say."
Zhong Ming suggested.
So the two secretly came down from the steps, walked some distance to the inn, and then sent the letter.
In Daoxiang Village, Li Qingsheng came to Yuyi with the second letter from the Zhong brothers. After reading it, Yuyi was also shocked. He had slowly found out something from the two letters, but there was no evidence. , and dare not draw conclusions.
"The process of treating the condition of this Taiping Dao individual is really incredible. I don't know what the origin is?"
Li Qingsheng also read the contents of the letter, and after feeling Yu Yi's gaffe, he also expressed his opinion.
"This is a huge conspiracy. If my judgment is correct, then the Black Death will break out all over the country. At that time, there will definitely be such Taiping Taoists preaching in all directions. On the one hand, they preach and on the other hand, they treat diseases. .”
Yuyi closed his eyes and sighed.
"Then how did they treat the disease? Do they know the prescription that Hua Tuo prepared before?"
When Yuyi said this, everyone became even more confused.
"No, they didn't use medicine to treat it, they used spells."
Yuyi explained.
"Are there really immortals in this world?"
Li Qingsheng sighed.
"Immortals exist if you believe in them, but if you don't believe in them they don't exist. As far as I know about Zhang Jiao, he did have some encounters and learned some spells, such as this spell."
Yuyi explained.
"Spells can cure diseases, which is a good thing. Why do you say this is a huge conspiracy?"
Wu Chenggong almost understood part of what Yu Yi said, but he didn't understand the other parts at all.
"Hey, this is all just speculation on my part. We will know the situation in the afternoon and whether my judgment is right or wrong."
Yu Yi didn't say anything more, just smiled mysteriously, turned and left, leaving Wu Chenggong and Li Qingsheng looking at each other.
