The Dutian Lingguan Road that started from the Taoist soldiers

Chapter 176 Plague and Disaster

The lords of Qiongming have been away from the city for many days and have not returned for a long time, which inevitably caused some commotion in the city.

After all, the three Dao camps of Qiongming were in charge of the city defense, and they were outsiders after all. The people of Yan were also uneasy.
After not being on the road for a long time, all kinds of speculations always come to mind.

Fortunately, the four disciples of the old priest went around, and several barbarians among the Nightmare Barbarians were also entrusted with tasks, so they suppressed the commotion together.

A few more days passed.

In Muyan City and the tribes on both sides of the lake, large numbers of Yan people fell ill one after another, with fever in their brains, vomiting, and weakness in their limbs, as if they had been struck by plague!

As a result, new rumors spread among the Nightmare people, claiming that the immortal cultivators in the north wanted to occupy Nightmare City, seize the thousand-mile swamp, and use plague to exterminate the Nightmare people...

What's worse is that people in Qiong Ming's Taoist camp were infected with the plague, even the strong men who had trained to the state of being immune to all evil fell down.

For a time, people inside and outside Muyan City were worried.

"It's the Guman tribe. The bitches in the Guman tribe like to use this trick."

The old priest's eldest disciple slammed his palm on the table and scolded angrily.

Apart from Gu Man, who else can control the plague that even monks find difficult to resist?

"What should we do? What should we do? All kinds of medicines can't stop this damn plague. We monks are fine, but how many tens of people can survive?"

"The one or two thousand prisoners imprisoned in Zepan Village are the most serious. Are they really crazy? They don't even care about the lives of their own family members?"

The plague came too quickly, covering nearly half of the people in a few days, leaving no one able to deal with it.

For example, a poisonous plague released by a fourth-level barbarian king of the Guman tribe could really wipe out an entire tribe within a few months!

In the Nightmare City, both the Nightmare Barbarians and the Qiongming Dao soldiers were extremely anxious. Some Nightmare Barbarians even wanted to beg for mercy from the Gu Barbarians...

"Is it the plague?"

A three-foot-tall jade-faced puppet sits abruptly in the hall of the Nightmare Tower. In the back garden of the Nightmare Tower, various medical officers are preparing fodder. The various nightmare cultivators have no choice but to stay together in this hall.

When everyone saw this strange spirit doll, their hearts suddenly tightened. However, several of the old priest's disciples had encountered the witch spirit god several times before, so they would not act rashly.

Now, this even more bizarre jade-faced puppet might be a more advanced Dharma body?
Several Nightmare Cultivators stopped Qiong Ming's Taoist Guardians and asked tentatively:

"Are you, Lord Wulingshen?"

The puppet turned around with a "click", revealing a perfect face carved out of jade, with shoulder-length silver hair, a three-foot tall body, and various Taoist patterns on its body that were intertwined like ghost paintings, making people dizzy at first sight.

"It's me!" The jade doll stretched out her hand and revealed a jade-like precious pill.

"If it is a plague, I once found this plague pill in a small world in the chaos. This pill has the ability to collect or release plagues. No matter how severe the plague is, as long as it is of the type of plague, it can collect it."

"Protector Qin can take it and give it a try. If someone has really cast a plague spell, you can absorb the plague gas and then select some spiritual medicine from the Taoist army's supplies and mix it into the porridge to restore the vitality of the nightmare people."

"If the Qiongming masters ask where these elixirs are, just tell them that I used them."

"Well, one more thing. Treat the common people first. They are weak and need to be treated early. Then we can welcome the Nightmare Monk soldiers. The captured barbarians can be kept until the end!"

"..."

The witch jade doll handed the plague pill to Protector Qin and gave him some more instructions.

Upon hearing this, the latter said nothing, bowed slightly and left the hall. After about an incense stick of time, Guardian Qin stepped into the hall door, panting slightly, holding up the glowing plague pill in his right palm, knelt on one knee and said:

"Master Fa, it is indeed a plague method. This pill is very effective."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Protector Qin." After leaving a word, Wu Ling suddenly disappeared from the hall.

"Brother, I'm going to the treasure ship to get the medicine."

"Protector Qin, I'll have someone make some spiritual porridge."

"..."

"Protector Qin, I, I will go with you to protect you!"

Ok?
The strongmen of the Daoying and the prospective priests of the Nightmare Tribe have to prepare various things. This is all fine. But are you, a barbarian warrior who has just reached the second level, going to guard the third level guardian with outstanding combat power?

Who is protecting whom?

However, Protector Qin did not despise him. He waved his hand and led a team to start eliminating the plague from the city to the villages along the lake.

First, it spreads to the body of the plague victim, then follows the flow of plague energy, and then spreads to houses, roads, flowers, trees, water sources...

After holding the plague pill and infusing it with magic power, you can use it to open the plague eye, get the plague and epidemic energy, and cast a spell to control it.

Protector Qin knew that this plague pill was a precious treasure in the way of plague, and he used it frequently to eliminate plague while not daring to be careless at the same time. The six protectors of Qiongming gathered together to guard this pill.

He acts with great grace.

The six guardian deities displayed their magical powers, and cleansed the Nightmare City from top to bottom.

The Dharma Protector Qin transformed into a long-armed Dharma figure like a god descending to the earth, holding a green pill in his palm. Countless plague lights were entwined around the pill, and the plague gas was like a flowing wind, which was completely absorbed into it.

Five guardians cleared the way on the left and right, with eyes that reached the sky to look around the area of ​​ten miles, and six ears that penetrated the earth to detect the breath of the nightmare people. There were also people holding big whips to clear the way, holding spiritual lamps to drive away evil spirits, and spiritual beads that raised the wind, and they came out of the nightmare city with guards at their sides. Wherever the deities went, the Taoism was manifested and the plague was completely eliminated...

Now that the Guman tribe has started to take action, I'm afraid the Guiman tribe is also eyeing them covetously.

Wu Yong sat high up on the Yuntai in his mansion, with golden pupils in his eyes. He then summoned the three evil spirits from the Evil Camp, who were the most sensitive to the scent of ghosts.

Yin Erlang's Seven Killings Soul had now transformed into an old dragon, and he had obtained the most precious Yellow Spring Inkstone, and had also captured three ghost dragons in the Yellow Spring. He was the most powerful person at the moment, and with a wave of his hand, he led the twenty-four skeleton monsters to transform into the dark wind and escape into the shadow of Nightmare City.

The evil king - Man Li Zaicai led eleven armored beasts to patrol outside the suburbs.

Only the Blood God Son meditated for a long time outside the palace before slowly turning into blood spots and disappearing...

The two groups actually started with the Nightmare People and the Taoist soldiers, using the strategy of attacking the hearts of the people, trying to stir up internal strife between the Nightmare People and the Taoist soldiers, and then using the plague method to disintegrate the "Tokaido Army" from the bottom up.

And it’s quite organized?
Thinking about this, Wu Yong's heart sank. He didn't know what had happened to the other Qiongming Lords. It was really too passive for him to stay alone in this Muyan City.

Now that the art of manifesting the God has just been perfected and the path of becoming a Taoist general has just begun, there are too many things that I want to verify.

If there was no one in the city, he would have followed those auras and fought twice!

And this side.

The plague had not yet dissipated, and the six guardian dharmas of the Qiongming Dao soldiers appeared in the villages along the lake to collect the plague and give alms.

New changes have occurred.

A barbarian warrior reported that within a few nights, not only outside the city but also in the villages along the lake, there were ghosts everywhere.

When the barbarian was lying on his side at night, there was a sharp and rapid knock on the door. When the barbarian opened the door to look, there was no trace of anyone around. He became suspicious and closed the door.

There were three long and two short knocks on the door outside, but this time the Nightmare Barbarians listened carefully and found that the knocks did not come from the door, but from the darkness in the distance.

The middle-aged man's heart tightened suddenly, and he woke up his wife, children and old mother, hid them in a large vat in the cellar, repeatedly told them, casually put on light armor, picked up the bull-ear sharp knife and went out...

There is also a village called Yan at the foot of the West Mountain. The people of Yan can hear the sound of dripping water on the roofs of every household. It is autumn and it has not rained for decades, so where does the sound of flowing water come from?
On the second day, the people from each household were still puzzled when they talked to each other. Only the old villager Qiangfu, who was good at fortune-telling in the wilderness, felt nervous and summoned the old fortune-tellers in the village who were skilled in fortune-telling. On the second night, they used iron scissors, razors, blood-stained handkerchiefs, black nails, cow-ear knives and other talismans to find out the truth.

At three o'clock in the morning, there were indeed strange noises in all parts of the village. With the help of the old nightmare warriors, they wrapped it with a blood-stained scarf and pierced it with black nails, and captured a blood-dripping ghost eye...

There were always shadows of people on the bank of the great swamp at dawn and dusk. If one was not careful, one would hear voices calling names in the mist, which made one feel as if ice had pierced through one's head and soles. How could the passers-by dare to respond? They had no choice but to leave the bank of the swamp in a hurry, and told the villagers to be extremely cautious!

All these things really made the people in Yancheng panic.

The great plague had not yet dissipated, and this ghost disaster came quietly again, causing unrest in all directions.

The plague had just been eradicated in Nightmare City at 7:00 a.m., and just after noon, barbarians from various villages and old nightmare masters came to the door carrying strange creatures.

There was a sturdy barbarian warrior, wearing a green crocodile-skin armor, holding a sharp cow-ear knife dripping with blood in his right hand, and pinching the spine of a baby ghost with his left hand.

"Nightmare Master."

"I lived in the south of the city, and was sleeping soundly with my wife and children at home when I heard someone knocking on the door announcing a death. I asked repeatedly but no one answered. I began to have doubts in my heart, and I looked through the cracks in the door and window, but there was no one either."

"I had a guess in my mind, so I picked up the evil weapon and went out. After repeated attempts, I found that the neighboring old lady and her orphan grandson and her sister were all killed by the mother and son ghost."

"So he smeared the cursed blood on his hands, cut the ghost mother with his sword, and broke the ghost baby's spine..."

When the barbarian mentioned this sneaky thing, his blood boiled, his eyes widened like copper bells and were full of bloodshot. He hated his old neighbor's family of four, and was also afraid for his wife and children at home!
After he finished speaking, the Xixiang Township Qiangfu, the old nightmare scholar and others who came later also spoke up.

"Clan Master."

"It's the same in my village of Xi. Over the past two days, at nightfall, there was a sound of trickling water on every roof. I and the old men in the village hid in seclusion for the whole night. It was really like this!"

"There is a large group of bloody snakes on the roof, and the source of them is this blood eye."

Xiang Qiangfu then took out the blood-stained vampire eye that was pierced by a black nail and wrapped in a blood scarf.

It is about the size of a fist, slightly larger than the eyeball of a living person. The blood vessels behind the eyeball open and close like breathing, which looks very hideous.

"This ghost eye secretly lives on the roof of the nightmare people. I don't know if it can eat human blood? Or swallow souls, or... cough cough cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"..."

These old men with nightmares suddenly started coughing violently, and the countryman with white hair and beard was even more unable to move his back due to coughing. He just felt his throat was swollen, itchy and painful.

The four nightmare masters at the top frowned when they saw this. One of them, a tall and thin one, realized that something was unusual and immediately stepped forward and flipped the country man over.

The country boy was coughing violently, his eyes rolled back, his face turned ashen, he pinched his throat with both hands, and vomited a large amount of ghost blood.

And in the middle of it, there was a ghost eye lying. The blood vessels, meridians and tissues behind the eyeball were wriggling involuntarily, but the pupil was looking around.

"I feel it. There is a ghost eye growing in my throat and abdomen. Master Nightmare, this evil obstacle will surely infect the world!"

Xiang Qiangfu's heart trembled and he growled, but his hands did not slow down at all. He took out a worn pair of scissors from his sleeve and was about to cut himself open to take out the parasitic ghost thing.

The iron rule of survival for the Wu and Barbarian people is that if they are attacked by ghosts outside, they will inevitably be infected by evil spirits. No matter their status, they must end their lives on their own to prevent future troubles!
