The sun sets at dusk and the cold wind blows.
The sky was dark, the strong wind rolled up the fine sand, and the sky was gray. From time to time, there were whimpering sounds, sad and sad.
Strong winds, clouds, and flying horses flew low in the sky.
"Finally arrived in Oak County."
It was Chu Chen, Zhang Xiucai, and Wang Ping, and it was Wang Ping who spoke.
Since receiving instructions from Immortal Court yesterday, the three of them have not rested all day and night, and have been using spells to rush on their way.
At first, the three of them used the Pegasus, a gift from the scholar, for their journey.
As a result, the "Mobao Pegasus" ran rapidly for more than ten hours and then "was scrapped".
Xiucai can transfer "Qi" to "Mo Bao Pegasus", which can last indefinitely.
Chu Chen and Wang Ping could only rely on their own escape skills to get on their way.
Wang Ping comes from a famous family and has good escape skills, and the three of them have good footwork.
The next day, we arrived at Wohu County in Youzhou. The plague was prevalent here, and it was so corrupt that it was unstoppable. The entire county was sealed off, and only people were allowed in, not out.
The entire Crouching Tiger County became a melting pot, and the poisonous air was breeding and raging throughout the county.
According to the Immortal Court's decree, the target of the three people's rescue was Oak County, Crouching Tiger County.
The sky was dark, and the lights and prosperity of Oak County had disappeared.
Instead, there were blazing fires and billowing smoke all over the city.
There were fires everywhere and signs of burning everywhere.
The wood in the fire crackled, wailing, crying, and groans of pain were heard.
Outside the city, under rows of simple thatched houses, lay a group of refugees in ragged clothes and sickly. Their eyes were dull and dull, and the changes in the surrounding environment could not attract their attention.
It was obvious that they were lying down one by one, waiting to die.
At a rough count, there are at least a thousand refugees outside the city.
The world is like a prison, truly presented before our eyes.
However, the three did not immediately start treating the refugees.
After arriving in Oak County, the first thing to do was to contact the local Ghost and God Supervisor and wait for instructions.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, Yin Cha appeared. He first saluted respectfully, and then told the three of them to stop.
"The three immortal officials have sealed off the city. They will only let you out but not in. Please forgive me!"
Chu Chen and the others had no doubt that he was there.
The epidemic is raging, and it is normal for Oak County to lock down the city.
"I dare to ask where the county magistrate and the director of the Department of Ghosts and Gods are. The three of us are disciples of the Taoist Academy in Guangping County, Qingzhou. We rushed to the aid of Oak County according to the decree of the Immortal Court. Please ask the county magistrate and the director to give me and other errands!"
Wang Ping slightly cupped his hands and explained the reason to Yin Chai.
"Thank you to the three immortal officials for coming to our aid!"
When Yin Chai heard that reinforcements had arrived, he was quite excited and stammered:
"The County Lord, the Du Guan Lord, and the City God have arranged formations to isolate the poisonous air outside the city. Currently, all of you are taking turns to maintain the formations. It is difficult to escape. Please forgive me, the three Immortal Officials!"
"How is the situation in the city?"
Chu Chen asked. Oak County has a population of more than 100,000 and is not considered a small county. If there is a pandemic, things will be quite difficult.
"The county magistrate and the governor ordered the people in the city to stay at home and not to go out. If anyone is found to be infected with the epidemic virus, we will send them out of the city. At present, the situation in the city is pretty good, and the atmosphere of the epidemic virus is not bad. It’s not contagious.”
When Chu Chen, Wang Ping, and Zhang Xiucai heard this, they felt a little relieved.
If so, things aren't too bad in Oak County.
I heard that in some places, the whole county was affected by the epidemic, and countless people died of the disease. Ten rooms were empty. It was really a hell on earth, and it was too miserable to look at.
The county officials and municipal officials of Oak County responded promptly and effectively controlled the situation.
"Do you have any orders from the county magistrate and the director of the Department of Ghosts and Gods?"
Zhang Xiucai looked at the refugees gathered outside the city and asked Yin Cha: "But you are asking me to wait to treat thousands of refugees outside the city?"
Yin Zai nodded and said:
"Exactly! The County Lord, Du Guan, and the City God are not willing to save anyone, but their power is limited. In the past two days, the County Lord, the Du Guan, the City God, and all the immortal officials in the city have taken turns to keep the formation running. They are exhausted and can't even breathe. Don’t spare any effort to drive away the poisonous atmosphere for the people outside the city.”
Chu Chen and the other three nodded in succession.
There is nothing that can be done to expel the refugees from the city.
When the strength is limited, indecision is the most taboo, and we must kill decisively and seize the big ones and let go the small ones.
This is not a problem for the local county magistrates, the governor of ghosts and gods, and the city god.
No problem, no problem. Thousands of refugees were thrown into the hands of three people, and the three of them felt extremely stressed.
Zhang Xiucai shook his head with a sad look on his face:
"There are so many people, how can the three of us save them? This is a natural disaster. We can't use magical powers, we can only drive away the poison and plague one by one. We don't know the magic of clones, how can we save them!"
Wang Ping was also quite approving and smiled bitterly:
"If we shout at this moment that we are immortal officials who can drive away the plague from the victims, the next moment, the three of us will be surrounded and swallowed up by the people. Let alone saving people, many people will be trampled to death. !”
What Zhang Xiucai and Wang Ping said is true.
Hearing this, the Yin Chao who was under the command of the Town God of Oak County looked quite embarrassed and hesitated, not knowing how to reply.
Even it finds this matter too difficult.
Immortal Court only assigned three immortal officials in Oak County, which was a drop in the bucket and of no use at all.
"This... is really difficult at the moment. All the immortal officials in the city and the gods of the city and the underworld can't spare time, so we can only rely on the three of you. What you are saying is that you three can save as many as you can, and we will do our best. Can."
Chu Chen saw that Xiucai and Wang Ping were a little "fearful" and comforted him:
"There is no way at the moment. The plague is raging all over Youzhou. Before the prescription to cure the plague is developed, we can only rely on monks to control the situation. There is a serious shortage of manpower. There is no way."
"It doesn't matter, the three of us will bear it first and try our best. Besides, it's not as difficult as you think."
When faced with such a difficult problem, Chu Chen's calmness surprised Wang Ping and Zhang Xiucai.
"Brother Chu, do you have any good ideas?"
Zhang Xiucai's eyes suddenly lit up.
Compared to Wang Ping, he understood his friend Chu Chen better. He was usually quiet and clean, but in reality he had hidden edge.
Chu Chen nodded, looked at the victims lying in thatched huts and thatched piles outside the city, and asked Yinza:
"This shady man, can the three of us temporarily mobilize the soldiers and horses from the Oak County City God's Palace?"
The Yin Chai touched his head and said: "Yes, it's all in charge. The City God has given orders. If the immortal officials come to help, I and the Yin Chai will wait for the immortal officials to send them."
Chu Chen asked: "How many soldiers and horses can there be?"
Yin Zai touched his head and felt a little embarrassed: "This... shouldn't be many. We can only draw out fifty soldiers and horses with Dao Qi. Our soldiers and horses maintain order in the city. There are not many soldiers and horses that can be drawn out. .”
Ordinary soldiers and horses cannot resist the plague, and at least they need soldiers who are successful in weapon training and possess Dao Qi, such as the Yellow Turban Warriors under Chu Chen.
Chu Chen nodded, looked at Wang Ping again, and asked:
"Brother Wang, have you practiced military skills?"
Wang Ping nodded: "Of course, I have three hundred soldiers and horses in the jar, all of them yellow scarf warriors."
Chu Chen nodded, that was almost enough.
In the past half month of training, the number of Yellow Turban warriors under his command increased from 240 to 270.
A total of more than 600 soldiers and horses with Dao Qi were dispatched, which was enough to maintain order.
Wang Ping asked curiously:
"Chu Chen, the Dao Qi of the soldiers and horses is evil Qi, but it cannot drive away the poison and plague. Do you really have a good plan?"
Chu Chen nodded:
"It's an emergency measure."
