Chapter 706 Plague.
Following the direction pointed out by Sun Mu, PEI Ling used faceless blood to change his appearance along the way and changed into a gray robe. After seven days and seven nights of flying, he finally arrived at the demon-suppressing pass.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the demon-suppressing pass was solemn and strict.
But fortunately, PEI Ling had sun mujian's endorsement and quickly passed the inspection. Furthermore, when they heard that he was an Alchemist who had gone to che province to save mortals, the entire demon suppression pass was filled with deep respect. They even specially selected a nine luminaries mountain disciple to lead the way for him.
"What's the situation now?" On the way to chezhou, PEI Ling asked.
The disciple of the nine luminaries mountain said worriedly, " "The current situation is very bad. Only a high-grade evil warding pill or higher can be effective in this plague. However, the war broke out suddenly and there was a shortage of inventory. Furthermore, the sky demon sect ambushed the convoy transporting the pills and destroyed more than half of the pills. Right now, there's a shortage of pills, and every city is carrying hundreds of people out almost every day ..."
&Quot; we've tried all kinds of methods. Except for the superior-grade evil warding pill, the alchemists can only use vitality-type pills to forcibly keep the living beings alive. &Quot;
"It's just that mortals have weak bodies and can't be supplemented. This method can't last long."
"Alchemist, we are very grateful that you are willing to come to che province at this moment."
As PEI Ling listened, he frowned slightly.
"Do you know the exact situation of the plague?" he asked.
&Quot; for this plague, mortals will first have high fever, shivers, headaches, vomiting, shortness of breath, and accelerated heartbeats. Soon, they will be delirious and hallucinating. &Quot; The nine luminaries mountain disciple said, " if there is no treatment, the next thing will be chest pain, coughing, coughing blood ... &Quot;
"If left unchecked, he will die of exhaustion within two to three days."
"After death, his whole body was bleeding, and his body was dark-blue,"
"As such, the Empire's Alchemist consecrated has temporarily named this plague 'gan plague' [ note ]."
Gangan plague ...
PEI Ling muttered to himself. Evil warding pill above high-grade?
The pills that he had formed were of the highest quality. As long as the pill could solve the problem, it was not a problem for him.
"Great master, I'm sending you to Ying city, and there are core disciples of my sect in the city. After you arrive, you only need to deal with the plague. As for the devil's doctrine, I'll leave it to the core disciples."
PEI Ling nodded. No matter what, they had to reach the place first and see the actual situation.
In short, PEI Ling was willing to try his best to save people within his capabilities ...

Ying city.
This was one of the largest cities in che province.
In the past, it had always been bustling and lively.
But now, it was noon, and the entire city was dead silent. There were no chickens or dogs, only a few cries that continued for a while, as if they were exhausted and fell down.
The four city gates were tightly closed, and only the South Gate was slightly open. Several disciples of the nine luminaries mountain were vigilantly guarding the gate, wearing anti-poison beads and evil-subduing talismans.
The sound of rolling wheels could be heard as a group of puppets pushed a cart and gathered on the long Street from various parts of the city. Finally, they formed a long line and wanted to leave the city to be burned and buried.
&Quot; my son ... &Quot; a shrill cry suddenly sounded. A woman with disheveled hair and bare feet stumbled and ran on the gravel road. She didn't care about the blood stains left behind as she tried to catch up with a cart. &Quot; why wasn't I the one who went ... How am I supposed to live if you leave? "
"This little Yan." The cultivators who accompanied the funeral procession came forward and pulled the woman back. They tried to persuade her, but when the woman turned around, she spat a mouthful of pink blood onto the cultivators 'bodies. There was a gurgling sound in her throat, and she soon fell to the ground.
The cultivator was stunned. He subconsciously took out a pill and wanted to feed it to her, but the woman took the opportunity to break free from him. She rolled and crawled onto the cart and hugged a small body. &Quot; thank you, immortal master. But I've been a widow for many years, and I only have this little bit of blood left. Now that he's gone, I don't want to live anymore. There's no need to waste your pills. &Quot;
The cultivator was still hesitating when the woman fell limply to the ground. He was shocked and went forward to pull her up to check. He saw a long hairpin that had been quietly inserted into the woman's heart.
She committed suicide.
"Why didn't these people die from the plague?" At the city gate, the cultivators in charge of guarding were unmoved by the scene in front of them. In the past two days, they had seen too many deaths. At this moment, their entire body was numb, and they were unable to express any intense emotions.
Only the slight trembling of the hands holding the weapons revealed how uneasy the hearts of these disciples who only cared about cultivating in the mountains were.
One of them followed the sect's rules and used a spell technique to check every corpse that was leaving the city. Suddenly, he exclaimed and pointed to one of the carts, where five corpses were piled together.
"Oh, that's a family of five," The cultivators accompanying the funeral procession used hand seals to sweep away the woman's vomit. After taking a look, they said in a calm tone, " they were actually not infected with the plague, but when they saw the situation in the city, they were frightened and could not bear it, so they simply hung their family beams and committed suicide. &Quot;
&Quot; ... &Quot; the city gate was silent for a moment. After a while, a cultivator said, " no problem. Let's go. &Quot;
He paused for a moment. &Quot; I heard that there are still some materials left in the warehouse. The higher-ups have also agreed to transfer an Alchemist who can refine high-grade evil warding pills over as soon as possible? "
"Yes, I am."
"Do you know when he'll be coming?"
"It's hard to say ... Right now, there are applications to become an Alchemist everywhere ..."
"Bamboo city is a big city with many living beings. This place should be given priority ..."
"However, the living beings in other places are also living beings. I'm afraid the higher-ups are also in a difficult position ... Sigh ..."
"Why do you think that family of five is doing this? Maybe he'll be fine in two days ..."
"Sigh ..."
&Quot; don't think about it anymore. Just defend the city ... Later, I'll melt a few more vats of essence cultivating elixir. If I can save one, I'll at least let them hold on until The Alchemist arrives. &Quot;
As the cultivators were whispering to each other, a figure suddenly flashed in front of them and a green-robed man appeared not far away from them.
"Senior brother Dou!" The cultivators were shocked and quickly saluted.
However, Dou Dai could not care less about these junior brothers and sisters. He took another step forward and appeared a few hundred feet outside the city. He bowed to the air."Nine luminaries mountain successor disciple, Dou Dai, living beings of daiche Prefecture and daiche city, thank you for your kindness, master!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a flying boat slowly landed in front of him.
After the cabin door was opened, the nine luminaries mountain disciple who led the way said, " "Great master, this is Ying city. The person outside is my nine luminaries mountain's direct disciple, senior brother Dou Dai."
"This one still has duties to attend to, so I'll send you off here."
"I'll be troubling you." PEI Ling nodded and brought Yu Xue Zhao down from the flying boat. Very quickly, the flying boat once again flew into the sky and disappeared into the distance.
Dou Dai sized up PEI Ling and saw that he was hiding his head and tail. The woman beside him was also dressed in a secretive manner, but he did not mind. After cupping his hands in a bow, he said in a deep voice,"This master, there's no time to waste, please follow me into the city."
