Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 451 Spreading the Plague, Plague Demons Spread Disease Rain
"Madam, disaster has struck!" Bi Qing'er rushed back as if fleeing on a cloud.

When Bai Zhenniang heard her cry, her heart skipped a beat.

"Don't panic, tell me in detail," Bai Zhenniang asked, suppressing her unease.

"As Madam instructed, I went to sprinkle water from the gourd. I had only sprinkled it in two places when a skinny little devil covered in pustules snatched the gourd away."

"Upon seeing this, the maidservant was naturally indignant and chased after the evil spirit. After fighting with it, she was left with two bloody scratches on her hands."

As she spoke, Bi Qing'er showed the bloodstains on her hands.

When Bai Zhenniang looked at the bloodstain, she saw that several large pustules had already formed on it, and it was emitting a faint stench.

"Oh dear, what's going on?" Bi Qing'er was also quite frightened when she saw it.

"This is the work of a plague demon, and its power is not low." Bai Zhenniang didn't care how Bi Qing'er lost the gourd, and hurriedly used her sleeve to perform yin-yang divination.

However, they were countered.

The plague demon that stole her thousand-year-old poisonous water was also skilled in this art, and thus she had taken precautions.

This made it impossible for Bai Zhenniang to determine the location of the plague demon.

"This is truly a terrible disaster." Bai Zhenniang's face showed anxiety.

If her thousand-year-old poisonous water falls into the hands of others, even if they use the whole gourd to harm people, it will only cause them to fall ill.

The chances of him dying are slim; at most, he'll just have a crooked eye and mouth after he recovers.

But now that it's fallen into the hands of a plague demon, who knows what might happen?

In particular, this plague demon clearly timed its attack precisely, waiting to seize the opportunity; it must have some ulterior motive.

"Madam, what... what should we do?" This was the first time Bi Qing'er had ever seen Bai Zhenniang in such a state.

Bai Zhenniang was at her wit's end.

If she can't find the person hidden in her sleeve, what should she do?

Suddenly, Bi Qing'er spoke up, "Madam, you have become a disciple of the Holy Mother Jin Ci. In the face of this great calamity, you should go and beg your master for help."

These words made Bai Zhenniang feel awkward.

She said this not only to Bi Qing'er, but also to Xu Jingnian, otherwise it would be difficult to explain how she knew magic.

Biqing'er was willing to become a servant because of this matter.

In fact, she was just using the name of the Holy Mother Jin Ci; she didn't actually have a master.

Even Fairy Ruizhi wasn't considered her master; she was more like her superior.

“No, I was ordered to descend to the mortal realm to sever my worldly ties.” Bai Zhenniang immediately rejected the suggestion.

If this matter were to be reported back, and the Holy Mother Jinci were to ask why it was lost, she certainly wouldn't dare to conceal it.

When she reveals that she wants to spread the plague in exchange for money, she doesn't know if the plague demon will die, but she will definitely die first.

"Take me to the place where the plague demon ambushed you," Bai Zhenniang thought to herself, "If I can handle it myself, I'll handle it myself."

The main reason is that she has only been in the mortal realm for a short time.

I only have two connections.

One was her sworn brother, the Seven Star King, but he was also a demon, and his cultivation was no higher than hers.

The other one is Chu Danqing. If you really want to go to him, you can solve the problem, but the result will be similar to when she went to Jin Ci Shengmu.

Less than an hour has passed since Chu Danqing's warning.

With Bi Qing'er leading the way, Bai Zhenniang arrived at the location where she had been robbed and used magic to reveal traces of her presence.

This put Bai Zhenniang at ease, and she said, "Let's go, let's catch up with that plague demon."

Having said that, he followed the trail.

After going around in circles, they found they had gained nothing.

"Damn it, that plague demon knew I would come looking for him and tricked me." Bai Zhenniang's expression was grim.

After all that delay, the plague demon had long since disappeared.

Even if they wanted to chase after him now, they couldn't catch up.

"Let's go back first, we'll talk about it tomorrow," Bai Zhenniang said.

Since things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time.

However, this is a double-edged sword. If the plague demon truly refines her thousand-year-old poisonous water to dispel the plague, she will have a way to counteract it.

This trip will allow me to earn more money to supplement my family's income.

Hearing this, Bi Qing'er could only agree and went back with Bai Zhenniang.

On the way, Bai Zhenniang also instructed Bi Qing'er not to reveal this matter, otherwise disaster would surely follow.

Bi Qing'er had no choice but to agree.

What else could we do? After all, the gourd was lost from her hands.

Even if they are not the principal offender, they must be an accomplice.
-
In the morning, Chu Danqing sat at the entrance of the inn watching the light drizzle. He had originally planned to visit Zen Master Wende.

It rained, so we had to wait.

Looking at the rain, he felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Da Bao, what's your opinion?" Chu Danqing asked.

"Rain, it's dirty," Da Bao said honestly.

Chu Danqing immediately understood what Da Bao meant: there was something wrong with the rain.

"Then why didn't you remind me?" Chu Danqing asked.

"Xiao Chu, I'm not afraid." Da Bao was telling the truth. They both had shields, so the rain couldn't touch them at all, and therefore had no effect. Even if it did touch them, with their strength, they wouldn't be affected.

As for the others? What does that have to do with Da Bao? Da Bao only needs to take care of his own people. He doesn't care about the lives of outsiders unless Chu Danqing speaks up. They could die in front of him without his permission.

"This is definitely not a natural disaster, it can only be a man-made one. Go and deal with this bastard." Chu Danqing's expression darkened.

He didn't know who did it, but it didn't matter, this trial world had divine deductions.

Chu Danqing took an umbrella and went with Da Bao to Jiangtian Temple to find Zen Master Wende.

When we arrived at Jiangtian Temple, the monks were performing their morning prayers.

Chu Danqing did not disturb him, but waited until the morning class was over before visiting him.

After meeting Chu Danqing, Zen Master Wende took him to a meditation room, where a novice monk served him tea and snacks.

“I know why you’ve come, Young Master Chu,” Zen Master Wende said as he poured tea for Chu Danqing. “The plague in Xuyang Town comes from a plague demon.”

"Last night, I stole a gourd of thousand-year-old poisonous water. After refining it, I was able to spread the plague."

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing frowned and questioned with dissatisfaction, "Since the Zen Master knew, why didn't he take action to eliminate this calamity beforehand?"

If it were a rogue cultivator or an evil cultivator, Chu Danqing wouldn't be able to say these things.

But as a monk, shouldn't you be compassionate regardless of whether you follow Buddhism or Taoism?
How did it really become just talk without action?

“This matter is related to the layperson. If I were to take action, wouldn’t I be cutting off the layperson’s merits? The layperson would then complain about me in the future.”

"Furthermore, this plague demon's cultivation is not up to par, so it can't harm the common people; at most, it will only cause them diarrhea," Zen Master Wende said.

Chu Danqing shook his head: "What merit or not merit? I think the Zen master's cultivation is still not up to par."

“Since the Zen Master knows about this plague demon, tell me where he is, and I will go and kill him.”

Asking him to treat illnesses and save lives would indeed be difficult for him, but asking him to fight and kill would be much simpler.

It's just a ghost, what's the big deal?

Upon hearing this, Zen Master Wende pondered for a moment.

“This plague demon is cunning; I fear you alone are no match for it,” said Zen Master Wende. “Why don’t I go with you?”

"No need, you should keep it," Chu Danqing said, "so that if it gets damaged, no one will take care of Mingzhu."

The Pearl is related to the trial mission. Although the D-level normal mission is not very dangerous, it does not mean that there is no danger at all.

Moreover, with Zen Master Wende gone, how can Chu Danqing collect all the rewards?

[Hidden Mission: Kill the Plague Demon and eradicate the plague within 3 days]

[Trial Difficulty: S-Rank (Nightmare)]

[Trial Reward: Paradise Points x 20000, Attribute Points +5]

[Trial Failed: Paradise Points -40000, Random Attribute -2]

The quest has appeared, but it's a hidden quest.

This is good news. Although it is a hidden mission and cannot help with the trial mission, the mission difficulty is S-level.

If it's SS-level, Chu Danqing would have to consider whether it's within his capabilities, since SS is the upper limit of his rank difficulty, not the upper limit of the actual difficulty of the mission.

But the current difficulty level is S-level, which means it's in the 2nd tier range.

There's no need to worry about encountering enemies outside the established order.

The quality of the treasure chest might be a bit low, probably around the excellent level, with at most some shimmering patterns.

Unless there are a large number of enemies, it is impossible to reach the Brilliant level by simply increasing the number of enemies.

"Then this old monk thanks Young Master Chu for his care." Zen Master Wende could tell that Chu Danqing was sincere.

"The plague is a minor matter; the real concern is the common people," Chu Danqing said. "Don't underestimate the impact of diarrhea; most people don't have much fat in their stomachs."

"Even if you have diarrhea for a whole day, you'll get seriously ill afterwards."

"So we need to find a way to treat it," Chu Danqing said.

The wealthy don't care, but most ordinary people are just trying to make ends meet, and they will be severely weakened afterward.

“There is a cure,” Zen Master Wende said. “It only requires…”

Zen Master Wende presented the prescription.

Chu Danqing shook his head and said, "I'm just one person, I can't treat so many people."

“Master, you have a high reputation in this area. You should be able to communicate with the local county government of Xuyang and get them to help you.”

With Chu Danqing's abilities, it would be impossible for him to handle the plague alone.

Only by relying on power can the problem be solved in the shortest amount of time.

"Don't worry about the money, I can help out." With that, Chu Danqing took out a large box from his pocket, opened it, and showed it to Zen Master Wende.

It was filled to the brim with gold.

Zen Master Wende hesitated to speak, and everyone knows how to conceal things.

However, there's no need to hide the fact that you're pulling such a large box out of your arms, since anyone with eyes can see that you can't possibly carry that much stuff.

“Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you,” said Zen Master Wende. “I will take good care of this money and ensure that it is all used to treat the plague and save lives.”

If there is any left over

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Danqing interrupted him, saying, "How could there be any left over? If there is, you can buy some grain, oil, and meat to help the people recover their strength."

"No matter how fast you go, there's no way to cure the disease immediately unless you can summon a deity to descend to earth."
