Chapter 252 Liang Guo’s Change, Plague Disaster
The expressions of both of them were a little dignified.
As soon as Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan saw them like this, they knew that something should have happened during their departure.
So Jiang Chengxuan asked directly: "Renyi, Linglong, did something happen?"
Jiang Renyi and Liu Linglong looked at each other.
Jiang Renyi nodded and said, "Reporting to Uncle, during this period of time, there are indeed some situations in our country of Liang."
"Well, what exactly is going on? Tell me carefully."
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn't help but look solemn.
They knew that if the matter was not serious, Jiang Renyi and Liu Linglong would never be like that.
At this time, I heard Jiang Renyi say: "Shortly after Uncle and you left Liang State that day, a plague appeared in our Sangming County of Liang State."
"Plague?"
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan frowned.
"Yes." Jiang Renyi nodded and said: "This plague is very overbearing. Once a mortal is infected, his whole body will fester and die in as little as half a day or as long as three days.
At first, this plague was only effective for mortals, but after a short time, even monks in the early and middle stages of Qi refining were infected.
At the back, even monks in the late stage of Qi refining or even the early stage of foundation establishment can hardly resist the attack of this plague. "
"What did you say?"
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan couldn't help being taken aback.
Just heard from Jiang Renyi that there was a plague, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan didn't feel anything yet.
After all, the world they live in today is not the ordinary ancient times, but the world of cultivating immortals with the inheritance of cultivating immortals.
In the hands of immortal cultivators, isn't the so-called plague something that can be easily solved?
However, after hearing this, the two of them no longer dare to underestimate this matter in their hearts.
The plague that even the monks who established the foundation will be infected, is it still an ordinary plague?
The answer is absolutely no.
And according to Jiang Renyi's description just now, this plague is progressing extremely fast.
From being effective only to mortals, to monks in the early and middle stage of Qi refining, and finally threatening monks in the late stage of Qi refining and early foundation establishment, this process did not last too long.
According to this, it is difficult to say whether it will affect the monks in the middle and late foundation establishment stages.
"What is the specific situation now?"
Jiang Chengxuan couldn't help but speak in a deep voice.
"If I remember correctly, in Sangming County, there are two major powers in the Purple Mansion, the Huan Shuizong and the Li Family, right?
Don't they have a good solution for this? "
Seeing that Jiang Renyi and Liu Linglong shook their heads.
I only heard Liu Linglong say: "The Huan Shuizong and the Li family's Zifu monks are said to have exhausted all methods, but there is still nothing they can do about the plague.
Even on the side of the Bishui Jiange, because most of the monks in their school are good at fighting skills, they are not proficient in the line of spiritual medicine.
At present, there is no effective way to eliminate the plague. They can only temporarily use the large formation to block the entire Sangming County.
But just yesterday, in Lanfeng County, which is the closest to Nasangming County, it is said that infected mortals also appeared.
Now, we can only hope that there will be monks who are proficient in the lineage of spiritual medicine on the side of Tianyue Sect. "
The lineage of spiritual doctors that Liu Linglong mentioned here belongs to the category of cultivating immortals.
It's just that, because the profession of alchemist has some similarities with spiritual doctor.
In addition, regardless of income or status, they are higher than spiritual doctors, so most people with both talents will only choose the profession of alchemist, not the profession of spiritual doctor.
In addition, the difficulty of taking the path of spiritual medicine is no less difficult than that of an alchemist.
This also led to very few monks studying spiritual medicine.
Fewer people are proficient.
At this moment, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan realized that if the matter in front of them is not handled properly, it may lead to a nationwide disaster.
At that time, countless mortals and monks below the Purple Mansion may die in large numbers.
Once such a thing really happens, it will inevitably shake the foundation of the entire Liang Guoxiu world.
At that time, even their Jiang family, Bishui Jiange, and Tianyue Sect such Jindan-level forces will not be spared at all, and there is even a crisis of extinction.
Because regardless of family or sect, mortals and low-level monks are always the most important basic board.
Without this basic disk, it is tantamount to cutting off fresh blood, and it is not far from extinction.
so.
The matter at the moment, although it has not endangered their Qi'an County, and their Jiang family, their Jiang family must take action in advance.
Fortunately, Jiang Renyi and Liu Linglong did not disappoint them.
Before this, they had already monitored all monks entering and leaving Qi'an County.
Especially the monks coming from the direction of Sangming County and Lanfeng County, they were strictly prohibited from entering.
The person in charge of presiding over this matter is Jiang Rendao, who has a mid-term cultivation base in the Zifu.
and some other Zifu monks located in Qi'an County.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately said to Jiang Renyi and Liu Linglong:
"Renyi, Linglong, you are doing very well now, continue to maintain high-intensity monitoring.
I plan to go to the Clear Water Sword Pavilion in person to find out the specific facts. "
Speaking of this, Jiang Chengxuan turned to Shen Ruyan again, and said:
"Ma'am, you will stay in the family this time and preside over the overall situation in case of accidents.
I suspect that the matter this time may not be as simple as it seems on the surface. "
"Huh? Husband, you mean...?"
Shen Ruyan seemed to have thought of something at this moment, and her beautiful eyes could not help but froze slightly.
"good."
Jiang Chengxuan nodded solemnly.
"Looking at the intensity of this plague and its development trend, it is very likely that it is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
But we still lack specific information. We will not know the details until I go to the Sword of Clear Water. "
that's all.
Shen Ruyan is in charge of staying at Taixuan Mountain to prepare for possible accidents.
Jiang Chengxuan, on the other hand, controlled the escape light alone, and flew in the direction of the Bishui Jiange.
Based on his current cultivation base of the Golden Core realm, it took almost half a day to arrive at the mountain gate of the Bishui Jiange.
Send a message into the Sword of Clear Water.
Not long after, two figures appeared in front of Jiang Chengxuan.
are all acquaintances of Jiang Chengxuan.
Hou Dongbai and Hua Mengyou.
Seeing Jiang Chengxuan, Hou Dongbai congratulated immediately:
"So it was Jiang Daoyou in person.
It's been a while, but Daoyou Jiang has successfully condensed the golden core.
Thinking about your wife, Fellow Daoist Shen, she should have already condensed the golden core just like you, right?
It is really gratifying to congratulate. "
Jiang Chengxuan didn't hide anything about his and Shen Ruyan's cultivation level, and he immediately greeted Hou Dongbai politely.
On the other hand, Hua Mengyou beside him, after seeing Jiang Chengxuan, was in a somewhat complicated mood, but still stepped forward to salute and said:
"Meng You has met Senior Jiang. Congratulations to Senior Jiang for successfully forming an alchemy. The future can be expected."
Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately waved his hands at Hua Mengyou and said:
"Fellow Daoist Hua, don't say that. You and I have always been very close friends. Let's continue to be called fellow Daoists in the future."
This made Hua Mengyou feel warm for no reason, so she nodded immediately and said:
"If that's the case, then I won't be polite to fellow Daoist Jiang."
Hou Dongbai also admired Jiang Chengxuan's performance in his heart.
In the world of cultivating immortals, although it is said that those who are masters come first, many monks will put themselves in the position of a senior when facing their past colleagues and friends after breaking through the great realm.
Everyone has long been familiar with such a situation, and even thinks it is very normal, and it should be like this.
But neither Jiang Chengxuan nor Shen Ruyan are obviously that kind of person.
At this moment, the two sides chatted briefly.
Hou Dongbai and Hua Mengyou led Jiang Chengxuan to the reception hall of the Bishui Jiange.
After the two parties were seated, Jiang Chengxuan explained his purpose for coming this time.
That is about the plague.
This made the expressions of Hou Dongbai and Hua Mengyou immediately take on a trace of solemnity.
Just listen to Hou Dongbai's way: "To be honest, this plague has already caused extremely serious losses to the entire Sangming County.
At present, the death toll of mortals in Sangming County has reached more than six million.
Even the Qi Refining cultivators died more than 3,000 times.
There were more than ten people in the early stage of foundation establishment.
Moreover, according to fellow Taoist Wen of Tianyue Sect, in order to really solve this plague, a spiritual doctor who has reached the fourth level must be involved.
Otherwise, it can only achieve temporary suppression at best, and there is no way to truly eradicate it. "
The Daoist Wen mentioned by Hou Dongbai here is the Ice Fairy of Tianyue Sect, Wen Shujun.
This woman is also the only one in their Liang country who also trained in the lineage of spiritual medicine.
It's just that her attainment in the lineage of spiritual medicine is only third level, and she can't completely eradicate this plague.
"A fourth-order spiritual doctor?"
Jiang Chengxuan couldn't help but also frowned at this moment.
As far as he knows, there seems to be no fourth-level spiritual doctor in Yunguo.
He doesn't know what's going on in Yan Country.
But if there was one, I am afraid Hou Dongbai and the others would have invited him here long ago.
Since there is no one, there is a high probability that there will be no fourth-level spiritual doctors in Yan State.
As for Zheng and Shu.
At this time, the relationship between the two countries and their three countries is already very tense.
The two sides have even withdrawn all monks and industries in their territory.
It is conceivable that once the ten-year rest period is over, a war will inevitably break out between the Three Kingdoms and the Kingdom of Zheng and Shu.
Under such circumstances, even if the two countries had four levels of spiritual doctors, they probably would not come to their Liang country to help.
Even, at this meeting, they hope that more people will die on Liang Guo's side.
It would be even better if all the mortals and low-level monks in Liang State could be killed.
so.
They want to seek the help of a fourth-level spiritual doctor, and after all the calculations, they may only have to go to Yuzhou, which is relatively far away.
Yuzhou is a big state in northern Xinjiang, and there are a total of three Yuanying-level forces in it.
They are Hidden Sword Palace, Yuanying Immortal Clan Cao Family, and Ming Zhenzong.
The power of Jindan and Zifu under their banners is far more than the sum of the five countries in Cangnan.
Under such circumstances, although the number of fourth-tier spiritual doctors is not too many, they can definitely be found.
The only problem is that Yuzhou is far away from the Cangnan Five Kingdoms.
Even with their Golden Core cultivation base, it would probably take more than half a year to go back and forth.
In the past half a year, it is hard to say what the situation will eventually develop.
Moreover, if they want to invite a fourth-level psychic doctor to travel all the way to their country of Liang, the price they have to pay must not be small.
"Is there no other way?"
Jiang Chengxuan couldn't help asking again.
This time Hou Dongbai nodded.
"Yes, there is, but this method may be more difficult than finding a fourth-level spiritual doctor."
"What is the solution? Pavilion Master Hou might as well talk about it."
Jiang Chengxuan continued to ask.
Then Hou Dongbai said: "That is to find a treasure that can restrain the plague.
It is said that the Cao family in Yuzhou has a treasure called Tianhe Orb, which can restrain all poisonous smog and plague below the fifth level, even for the poisonous smog above the fifth level, it has a considerable suppression effect.
But you also know how difficult it is to get such a treasure. "
"I see."
Jiang Chengxuan nodded clearly.
At this time, he was basically sure that the plague that broke out in Sangming County this time should be caused by man-made disasters.
I just don’t know where this poisonous snake hidden in the dark is currently.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan asked Hou Dongbai this question again.
After hearing this, Hou Dongbai also had a smug look on his face.
He said in a cold tone: "Jiang Daoyou, you guessed right, this incident is indeed very likely to be caused by man.
We even have reason to suspect that this matter is inseparable from the Dingyuanhou Mansion. "
"Dingyuanhou Mansion?"
Jiang Chengxuan was really surprised this time.
It was really hard for him to imagine, how could the Dingyuanhou Mansion in Zheng State be able to do such a thing?
As if seeing Jiang Chengxuan's thoughts, Hou Dongbai suddenly asked:
"Jiang Daoyou, I don't know about the Plague Demon, have you heard of it before?"
"Plague demon?"
Jiang Chengxuan was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head immediately.
"I haven't heard of this, I only know that among their magic cultivators, there are hidden demons and phantom demons.
But this is the first time I’ve heard of the Plague Demon you mentioned. "
Hou Dongbai nodded.
"Jiang Daoyou has been staying with Yunguo before, no wonder you haven't heard of this demon."
Then, Hou Dongbai explained the situation of this demon to Jiang Chengxuan carefully.
It turned out that the scope of this demon's most activities in the past was in their country of Liang and the generation of the country of Yan.
Three hundred years ago.
A Jindan cultivator in the Yan Kingdom happened to meet this devil, and a war broke out with him.
During that battle, this demon was seriously injured by the Jindan cultivator from Yan Kingdom, and then disappeared. Until more than a hundred years ago, there was no trace of this demon.
Today, although the other party still hasn't shown up.
But judging from the current situation in Sangming County and Lanfeng County, the only one who can bring the plague to such a power is the legendary plague demon.
"Do you know what this demon's real name is?"
At this time, Hou Dongbai looked at Jiang Chengxuan again, and asked.
Only this time, Hou Dongbai didn't wait for Jiang Chengxuan's answer, he just answered by himself:
"The name of this demon is Shangguan Quanhong, and he is a clansman who was expelled from the Dingyuan Houfu hundreds of years ago.
As for the reason, you should be able to guess it even if I don’t say it now.
That's right, it is precisely because this person secretly practiced magic skills. "
