Chapter 704 The Situation in the City. (First Update! Please Subscribe!)
North of Miaocheng.
All the private houses and mansions that were originally located here were demolished, and a large open space was quickly leveled out with magic.
At this moment, tents were set up on the open space.
Arrays were set up around to prevent the spread of "cyanosis".
In the formation and in the tent, painful groans came and went, and occasionally there was a sudden burst of crying, and puppets entered the room in a short while, packing up the remains of the new mourners, rolling them up on straw mats, and loading them on a cart, ready to be sent outside the city for cremation .
Pei Ling frowned and walked between the tents. These tents were all the same color and style, except for a rag hanging at the entrance, blowing in the wind.
According to the gatekeeper monks, the red rags represent the male mortals in the tent, the green rags the female mortals, and the blue rags the family.
And one rag means that the condition is not very serious; two means that it needs to be checked from time to time; three means that the people inside may die at any time.
Pei Ling walked into a tent hung with a red rag, and there were seven male mortals inside.
They didn't look very good, but they were still in good spirits. There were even two of them, sitting cross-legged on the ground, drawing a grid, using stones they found somewhere as chess pieces, playing chess distractedly.
The other five people, although they were all lying on the bed, remained awake for the most part. When they saw Pei Ling entering, they tried to get up and salute: "Master Immortal!"
"No need to be polite." Pei Ling shook his head, gave him a hand, and said, "How long have you been infected? How do you feel now?"
The mortals were a little embarrassed, and said in a hurry: "Other immortal masters said that I was infected a long time ago, but the foundation is good, and it has not deteriorated."
"Small ones too."
"The little one was fine at first, but two days ago, someone in the family was infected with the disease, and the little one took care of him, and then he also got infected..."
"The fairy master will send fairy water every day, so now it's okay except for the chest tightness."
"The little one still feels a little headache."
"My little head doesn't hurt, but I always feel that there is something wrong with my body..."
Pei Ling nodded while listening, gave a few words of encouragement, and then walked out.
Immediately afterwards, he went to the tent hung with two rags. The people inside obviously did not have the spirit of the previous tent. They were all lying on the couch, and most of them were in a coma. They didn't even notice outsiders coming in. .
Only two mortals were awake, one of them was sleepy, and didn't bother to move when he heard the sound.
The remaining one barely opened his eyes, looked at Pei Ling, called out "Master Immortal" weakly, and then asked in a low voice, "Master Immortal, do you have any elixir?"
Pei Ling sighed inwardly, and said, "Yes, you can take it right away."
He didn't ask, but only used magic to investigate. The situation in this tent is much more serious than before. However, there is still a breath of life. As long as the treatment is done properly, it will be fine for a while.
This is not because these mortals have stronger resistance, but because there are traces of Yangyuan Dan in their bodies, which forcibly protects their origin.
But just as the monk who sent Pei Ling to Miao City said, Yangyuan Pill is a elixir used by monks after all, and its medicinal effect is too powerful for mortals without cultivation.
Even after dilution, its essential medicinal effects cannot be sustained by mortals for a long time.
Ten days at most.
Ten days later, even if these mortals didn't die from the disease, they would explode and die because they couldn't bear the effect of the vitality pill.
Pei Ling finally went to the tent hung with three red rags, and it was quiet inside.
All the infected people were in a coma. In the tent, there were two puppets standing with folded hands, their empty eyes fell on the ground not far away, lifeless.
Pei Ling stood at the door, felt it for a moment, and shook his head slightly.
The mortals in this tent have all been infected. Even with the best evil spirit pill, if he is rescued, he will suffer a serious illness and lose his lifespan.
Some of them are not in good health, and may suffer from some chronic illnesses...
While thinking, he walked out of the epidemic area and walked slowly on the long street.
There were no mortals in sight, only the occasional Jiuyi Mountain disciples came and went in a hurry.
Walking past a small courtyard facing the street, the originally neat vegetation in the courtyard has grown wildly because no one takes care of it.
Pei Ling stood outside the wall and watched silently for a moment. Sensing that the room was empty, but there were traces of hanging beams on the roof beams, she couldn't help shaking her head slightly.
The plague was raging, and in less than a month so far, it has claimed tens of thousands of lives.
Because of his arrival, Miaocheng has enough evil spirit pills.
To be exact, he refined a lot more.
However, going on like this is not the solution after all...
It is this state that is infected with the plague, not just a single city.
Under the trusteeship of the system, the speed at which he refined the elixir was already very fast, efficient, and top-notch.
But if one person wants to make enough pills for a state, it is still a bit difficult to keep up.
What's more, if the Reincarnation Tower spreads the plague once, it can spread the second and third times...
If the war does not end, more and more people will die, whether they are mortals or monks...
Thinking of this, Pei Ling stopped, turned around and walked back to the epidemic area, and asked the monk guarding the gate: "Where is Dou Zhenchuan? I have something to look for him."
According to the monk's instructions, he finally found Dou Dai at the top of the city.
Dou Dai is very busy at the moment, holding the formation map, and is constantly injecting runes into the large formation for reinforcement, and beside him, more than a dozen sound transmission symbols are floating out of thin air, surrounding it.
Every sound-transmitting talisman kept flickering, and various voices came out: "Brother Dou, I heard that Miaocheng has enough evil spirit pills, can you share some with Rincheng? I have hundreds of thousands of pills in Rincheng. Creatures, there is a huge gap in the Evil Resisting Pill right now..."
"Nephew Dou, thousands of miles southeast of Miaocheng, there are thousands of people who have lost their homes due to the raging demon cultivators, and the disease has spread among them. Evil Repelling Pill, I have already ordered people to escort them there, and I ask my nephew to receive it."
"Senior brother, there is not enough supplies in the city, so I have to urge the higher up..."
"Junior Brother Dou, there is news from ahead that a team of demon cultivators sneaked into the Zhenmo Pass privately. After tracking thousands of miles at the Zhenmo Pass, they lost their traces. Next, please take precautions to prevent the demon cultivators from spreading the epidemic again... If there is any... If you find him, report to Zhenmo Pass immediately!"
"Senior Brother Dou, traces of the disease have been found in the water source outside the city. It is suspected that the infected people in the upper reaches have collectively thrown themselves into the river. Next, the river water cannot be used for the time being..."
"Brother, there are people in the city who take advantage of the chaos to bluff and cheat. The Tao is that the end is approaching. Practitioners can rely on their cultivation to survive, while ordinary people can only recover if they believe in ghosts and gods. Many people have been deceived..."
"Senior brother, Li Shu committed suicide again today, even if he explained to them that he already had the Evil Resisting Pill, they still didn't believe it..."
"Someone stormed the city gate and wanted to flee to Jizhou..."
