Hearing Li Daoxuan's words, Liu Mingyue's voice was slightly awkward.
"Sorry, I said too much."
As a tree, she is indeed a bit talkative.
After a pause, she continued: "Qingfeng later became a Jinshi and served as the magistrate of Guanyang County. He served for ten years. He was conscientious, self-denial and loved the people, but he was not promoted because he was not good at socializing and flattering."
"I knew that he had great ambitions. At that time, I had successfully promoted to the Yangshen realm. I was satisfied with my ambition, so I cast a spell to help him calculate the secrets of heaven and help him rise."
Li Dao
However, Liu Mingyue leaked secrets many times and probably suffered a lot of backlash, as his cultivation has not improved for many years.
"Originally, everything went smoothly, and Qingfeng finally showed his ambition. He built water conservancy projects, cracked down on the powerful, rectified the government, and gave Dengzhou a new look. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long."
"Qingfeng is an upright person and beat up the little gangster with the locust god tattoo, which caused rumors to spread. At first, he didn't care, until Juye County was really hit by a locust plague."
"This little girl wearing a Dianmu mask came to Juye County to investigate. She was very smart and noticed the connection between me and Qingfeng, and became suspicious. However, her cultivation was still shallow and she did not find my true identity at that time. "
Li Daoxuan remembered that Jia Huo once said that after Dianmu went to Juye County, she ordered him to send someone to monitor Xia Qingfeng.
Li Chunfeng also received a letter from Mother Dian at that time. The letter said that Dengzhou was hit by a locust plague. Xia Qingfeng, the governor, was suspected of colluding with demons, and she was ready to conduct a thorough investigation.
"Two days ago, Qingfeng came at night. He was worried that the locust plague would sweep through Dengzhou and asked me for a way to defeat the locusts. I knew it was not good at that time because of this little girl, so I followed him quietly."
"After finding my true identity, the little girl started fighting with me indiscriminately. She is not very young, but the thunder technique she has learned is extremely good. Her body can turn into thunder. I couldn't defeat her for a while."
"But fortunately, her skills are still shallow. After a hundred moves, she used up most of her mana. Qingfeng explained to her, but she didn't believe it at all. She also claimed that Qingfeng intended to destroy Dengzhou's food, and used the last bit of mana to tell the court A letter was sent.”
Li Dao
"Xia Qingfeng colluded with the demon in an attempt to——"
The last unfinished words should be an attempt to destroy Dengzhou's food.
If what Liu Mingyue said is true, then Dian Mu is indeed a little impatient this time. Perhaps this is also related to her practice of thunder. Her mental state is not strong enough, but her strength has increased by leaps and bounds.
"I knew that after this letter reached the court, Qingfeng couldn't wash it away even if he jumped into the Yellow River, so I persuaded him to leave the Tang Dynasty with me, but he refused and begged me to tell him how to defeat the locusts."
There was a hint of emotion in Liu Mingyue's voice.
"He is a stubborn person. He said that as a governor, even if he died, he could not let the people go hungry. However, he did not think that the butcher's knife of the imperial court was already on his neck."
"With his persistence and pleading, I finally agreed."
Li Daoxuan said lightly: "I'm afraid this matter is not simple."
"Yes, in fact, I already noticed something was wrong when the locust plague hit Juye County. This was not a purely natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, and it was deeply involved!"
Li Daoxuan's eyes flashed, he was quite concerned about this matter, and said: "Tell me in detail."
"Yes, when there was a locust plague in Juye County, I helped out. When I came back, I found that some people dug something out near the valley where I live."
"what?"
"A bronze box that looks very ancient, with many runes and forbidden spells on it."
"I originally wanted to stop them, but the aura coming from the bronze box made me afraid. In addition, I had just finished fighting the locusts and consumed a lot of mana, so I could only watch them go away."
Li Daoxuan vaguely felt that this matter was very important.
"What do those people look like?"
Liu Mingyue was very sure: "Although they wear Han clothes, their appearance is different from the Han people. I know the leader of them, Shi Jiahuo, the governor of Deng!"
"This person has been against Qingfeng many times. If Qingfeng hadn't stopped him, I would have wanted to teach him a lesson, so I will never get it wrong!"
Hearing this, Li Daoxuan's heart moved.
There are too many doubts about Jia Huo. One thing can be confirmed, he definitely has another ulterior identity.
"Going back to the previous article, what kind of strategy did you help Xia Qingfeng come up with to defeat the locusts?"
"I calculated a secret and told him that an old woman riding a donkey would pass by the Xiaoqing River in the evening one day later. She is the God of Locusts and the controller of this locust plague."
"I asked him to come forward and plead with the Locust God at that time, bow three times and kowtow nine times, offer tribute, light the talisman, and ask the Locust God to return home and be merciful to Denzhou."
"This matter is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger. I advised him not to go, but he didn't listen. I had no choice. I broke off a willow branch and asked him to take it with him to protect himself. Hold your breath, and secondly, I can use it as my eyes and ears to see the situation at that time."
"What happened later, did he succeed?"
Lou Ling couldn't help but ask.
Liu Mingyue's voice paused for a moment, and when it sounded again, there was a hint of sadness that could not be erased.
"No, Qingfeng may be dead."
"My calculations were wrong. The one who passed Xiaoqinghe that night was not the Locust God, but the Plague God."
Li Daoxuan's eyes narrowed.
"Qingfeng saw the plague god holding a gourd and preparing to put plague poison into the Xiaoqing River. I kept reminding him to run away quickly, but he didn't move."
The sadness in Liu Mingyue's voice became more and more intense.
"He said that he had prepared a gift for me in Qi County, but it was a pity that he could not take me to see it in person. After saying that, he rushed over, snatched the gourd from the God of Plague's hand, and swallowed all the poison into his belly. "
Lou Ling and Lu Chunliang looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes.
As a mortal, Xia Qingfeng actually dared to fight against the God of Plague, and even swallowed all the poison in order to protect the people of Qi County.
Such courage and spirit are truly admirable.
"The willow branch I gave him was broken, and the God of Plague also found him. I don't know what happened after that. I only know that the God of Plague found me soon and tried to kill me."
"But the God of Plague seemed to have just awakened at that time, and his strength was not very strong. But I couldn't help it. In order to increase his strength, he trapped me while poisoning the people of Juye County one after another, absorbing their pain and fear. Strengthen yourself.”
"Facing the God of Plague, which has greatly increased in strength, I am gradually losing ground and can only barely hold on. Speaking of which, this little girl wearing a lightning mother mask also helps me face the enemy. She is very brave. She was injured by the miasma, and she still thinks about it. Help me cut it off and let me inform the court."
"It's a pity that, surrounded by the god of plague, none of us left. If fellow Taoists hadn't arrived in time and waited for a few more days, I'm afraid we would have died together."
Liu Mingyue finally explained all the causes and consequences, which made Lou Ling and Lu Chunliang sigh.
They did not expect that the Dengzhou matter would be so complicated and tortuous.
If what she said is true, then Xia Qingfeng not only did not collude with the devil, but was actually an out-and-out good official. He had swallowed the poison of the plague god, and I really don't know what is happening now.
Li Daoxuan remained silent for a long time, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
…
Qijun.
"Senior Medicine King, we are finally here!"
Changle was carrying a basket of medicine and looked extremely excited and overjoyed.
She finally arrived in Qijun and will be able to meet the master soon. Hehe, the master will definitely be surprised by then.
If Master scolds me, Senior Medicine King happens to be here and can put in a good word for me.
Sun Simiao stroked his beard and smiled, looking at Changle with a very kind look.
During this period of time, he found that this little girl from Longhu Mountain was extremely smart. Just by watching him administer acupuncture and boil medicine to patients, he could understand the mysteries. In just a few days, he began to have a glimpse of the medical skills.
Moreover, she has an uncanny magical power of wood. She can easily find all kinds of herbs, identify their properties, and even increase the potency of herbs. She is simply a natural medical wizard!
Sun Simiao planned to discuss something with her master after meeting him.
He wanted He Jia to learn medical skills from him without having to become a disciple. She was still a disciple of Longhu Mountain. He, Sun Simiao, did not want any status and was willing to teach all the medical skills to her.
As long as Hejia can open more free clinics and provide more free medical consultations to the people in the future, it will be enough.
Of course, he was also a little worried. Longhushan was the leader in the Taoist sect, and even the powerful Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty was a disciple of Longhushan. The other party might not value his medical skills.
Walking in Qijun City, looking at the willow trees flying in the streets, the green eyes are soothing.
"Senior Medicine King, the air here is so fresh!"
Changle took a deep breath and smiled.
Sun Simiao smiled and said: "This governor is very thoughtful. You should know that Qi is divided into two types, one is clear and the other is turbid. The flow of blood depends on Qi. Those who are weak and have weak Qi and weak internal organs will live among the trees for a long time and breathe clean Qi. , can be improved.”
The two of them continued walking and slowly arrived at the Xiaoqing River.
For some reason, Changle suddenly felt a sense of danger, and the mana in his body was flowing faster.
Sun Simiao stopped and his expression gradually became serious.
Plop!
A pedestrian suddenly fell down. Her face was as hot as fire, her whole body was twitching, and scar-like pimples appeared on her face. It was obviously a hot summer day, but she kept crying out that she was cold.
Others wanted to help, but were stopped by Sun Simiao's sudden shout.
"Stay away from her, it could be a plague!"
Wow!
One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the crowd of onlookers immediately fled like birds and beasts, covering their mouths and noses with fear in their eyes.
Plague was almost synonymous with death in ancient times.
If a plague breaks out in a place, it will spread quickly, and then there will be deaths one after another, and in the end it will even become an empty city!
People who get the plague are disgusted by gods and ghosts, and most of them will drag their whole family into the abyss.
Even powerful people had a narrow escape from the plague. Even the maids in the palace did not dare to take care of them. They could only die and take medicine and resign themselves to their fate.
"mother!"
The woman's child was not afraid of her mother. At the age of seven or eight, she bravely ran towards her mother and tried to help her up.
Chang Le caught him and then played a longevity charm.
As the golden light entered her body, the woman stopped twitching and her expression became more relaxed, but she was still unconscious. As time passed, the pimples on her face gradually began to fester.
Chang Le was startled. This was the longevity talisman drawn by his master's hand. It could eliminate bad luck and drive away all kinds of diseases, regardless of life and death. However, it didn't seem to have much effect on this woman.
"it's useless."
Sun Simiao came over and said solemnly: "Her internal organs have been invaded by the epidemic poison and completely destroyed. It is difficult to cure her with medicine and stone. Your talisman can temporarily suspend her life, which is already very rare."
Even with his medical skills, he couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.
If it could be discovered earlier, there might be hope.
Changle looked at the crying child in his arms, bit his red lips, and formed a seal to mobilize Yimu's energy into the woman's body, making a final attempt.
The effect was there, but as soon as she stopped, the woman's condition quickly worsened.
Sun Simiao sighed softly, walked up to the woman without hesitation, and stabbed the many large acupoints on her head with silver needles.
The tail of the needle trembled slightly, as if there was air flowing through it.
The woman's complexion seemed to look better, and Changle stopped consuming mana.
"Senior Medicine King, can she still be saved?"
Sun Simiao shook his head and said: "As long as she still has breath, she will always try her best."
After saying that, he stood up and looked around.
"In the face of the plague, the most important thing is to first find the source of its spread and then block it. Otherwise, once it spreads completely, it will be an uncontrollable disaster!"
After practicing medicine for many years, this was not the first time he encountered the plague.
Each disease is different, but blocking its spread is often the key to defeating it. Only by controlling the source of the plague can we research the antidote.
Wow!
The water surged and a body floated up.
Wearing a purple official robe, he has a thin face and a drop-shaped blue birthmark in the corner of his eye. He is still holding half a willow branch tightly in his soaked hands.
The skin of the corpse was a strange black-purple color, and even the river water around him was dyed with a hint of color.
Floating down the river, ups and downs.
Sun Simiao's pupils trembled suddenly, and he shouted quickly: "Xiaoqinghe, it turns out to be Xiaoqinghe, hurry up, fish out the body and burn it immediately!"
However, no one responded to his words.
Plop!
Plop!
Pedestrians on both sides of the Taiwan Strait fell down like dumplings, and they all had symptoms similar to those of women, either mild or severe, acute or slow.
They have all drank water from Xiaoqing River or washed fruits and vegetables with water from Xiaoqing River.
Sun Simiao's eyes became extremely solemn.
…
Juye County.
Li Daoxuan frowned slightly, looked in the direction of Qi County, and said: "It is admirable that Governor Xia took poison for his life, but where is his body now?"
Lou Ling and Lu Chun were shocked.
Yes, if Inspector Xia swallowed the poison, wouldn't he himself become poison? Logically speaking, he must die, but why has no one in Qi County discovered the body of Inspector Xia in the past few days?
Either Governor Xia is still alive, or...his body is hidden somewhere!
"Let's go back to Qijun."
Li Daoxuan was about to take the two of them away, but after thinking about it, he still said something to Liu Mingyue.
"Maybe I know what gift Governor Xia wants to give you."
Liu Mingyue was still immersed in sadness and was stunned for a moment when she heard this.
"He planted 100,000 willow trees in Qi County. They have grown just in time this year. The breeze blows and the sea of willows is like smoke. If you have time, you might as well go and take a look."
Ripples arose in the void, and the figures of Li Daoxuan and the others disappeared.
In the valley, only one crystal-clear willow tree was left, swaying gently in the wind.
The leaves fall like rain, making a rustling sound.
…
Thanks to Shivering Thigh Root for the five hundred reward, and thanks to Longlululu for the one hundred reward, show your heart!
