Chapter 63 The Plague
Chapter 63 The Plague
Xiao Qiushan's days are the most leisurely, and he can sleep until noon.Simple tea and light meals, flipping through books and wandering, killing time.Most of the time they stay together, just like before, simmering oranges on the stove in winter to keep warm, and they are lingering in bed.
The second brother and Yun Cai stayed in Xiaoqiu Mountain for more than two months, and they were planning to stay and bother them until after the Chinese New Year.
Heavenly soldiers suddenly came from heaven, saying that they would invite God Lord Lian Mi to visit the city of Yeluo.The demons from abroad have made a comeback, and Lord Lian Mi's eldest brother, Lord Chaoyang, led the heavenly soldiers to the border of Yelo City.The Emperor of Heaven asked Lian Mi to go out to lead the army to fight this battle.
Lord Lian Mi said that he knew, and immediately packed up his things and prepared to go to Yeluo City.Yun Cai followed him back to the room, watched him pack his things, and said that he wanted to go with him.
Lord Lian Mi said: "You don't want to cause me trouble if you go, you should stay in Xiaoqiu Mountain and wait for me to come back to pick you up."
Yun Cai said: "You said the same thing last time, but you didn't come back in the end."
Lian Mi stopped what she was doing, turned her head to look at him, and found that even his hands were trembling.He couldn't bear it and said: "I will definitely come back this time, don't worry."
"I want to watch you and follow you to rest assured."
Lord Lian Mi smiled and said: "But even if you follow me, if something happens to me, you can't protect me well."
Lian Mi Shenjun held his cold hand and said: "I won't be so reckless every time I fight. I will miss you this time and will not let myself fall into a desperate situation. Mianmian, the fate of the demon is at stake, I can't just sit idly by. Brother I know best about his ability, he alone cannot win this battle. I have to help him."
Yun Cai's eyes were red, and he said anxiously: "Then at most half a year, if you don't come back after half a year, I will go to Ye Luo City to find you."
"Okay." Lian Mi Shenjun kissed his forehead and sighed, "My Mianmian."
Lord Lian Mi bid farewell to Yun Cai, and before going out, he smiled and told his brother and sister to "take good care of Mian Mian".The brothers and sisters were so used to his style, they reassured him and told him to leave early and return early.
As soon as the second elder brother followed Tian Bing away, Xiao Shiyi said: "Heaven Realm is really interesting. If there is something to do, I would think of our second elder brother coming. I don't usually see him so attentive."
But Yuncai knew that the second brother's trip to Yeluo City had nothing to do with the heavens, he just couldn't let go of those demon people.He couldn't bear to see the demon people in Yeluo City suffer, so he had to travel all the way.
After Lian Mi left, there was no news for several months.And Yun Cai's side is not stable.
When spring came, Xiaoqiushan fell ill for some reason.After a thorough investigation by the yamen, it was found that a plague demon from outside had mixed into Dongshan and brought the plague, and it was the one that the heavens were looking for.
The Plague Demon slipped away so fast that the Yamen had no time to take it down.Now I don't know if it has escaped from Xiaoqiu Mountain, or if it has turned into another appearance and hid in a corner of Xiaoqiu Mountain, making the demon panic.
The Yamen asked the demon people to stay at home and avoid going out as much as possible, so as not to be infected with the plague. At the same time, a barrier was set up on Xiaoqiu Mountain, blocking all exits and prohibiting any demon people from going out, causing even greater panic.
The yamen's explanation was that they were afraid that the plague demon would escape, so they had to investigate for a few days.But Yun Cai thinks it's not that simple.
Soon, the fairy official Tan Min led the sky arrester to Xiaoqiu Mountain, and was responsible for capturing the plague demon.Dongshan, which he sealed off, strictly forbids the demon people infected with the epidemic to go out, and also restricts the demon people of Dongshan from going out of the eastern area.
The twelfth brother came back and said that he wanted to go to Dongshan to see Faxiao, but everything was blocked there.He was worried about what to do with the demon people in Dongshan, whether the Yamen wanted them to fend for themselves.
Yun Cai went to the yamen to make suggestions, but the yamen said that they couldn't decide this matter for the time being, and it was Lord Tan Min who had the final say.
Yun Cai didn't want to see Tan Min, but being a fairy has the mission of being a fairy, he couldn't bear to see the demon people of Dongshan die.He had to see this side.
Yun Cai met Tan Min who led the sky arresting guards at the pass into the mountain.
Tan Min was a little surprised to see Yun Cai, and immediately asked, "Why are you here?" As he spoke, he was about to touch his shoulder.
Yun Cai took a step back and said, "Your approach is not demonic. The demon people infected with the epidemic in Dongshan need to be healed, and this is not the way to find the plague demon. You are sealing all the exits now, just treating the symptoms but not the root cause."
"The way of the demon?" Tan Min smiled contemptuously, pointing to the sky, "I follow the way of heaven. If this plague monster is still in Xiaoqiu Mountain and has escaped from Xiaoqiu Mountain, it will harm more demon people when it goes out. At that time, the ones who sacrificed will not be the demon people of Dongshan?"
"But they need to be healed, they..."
Tan Min interrupted him: "It's not just a group of goblins. It's their fate to be infected with the plague. If Dongshan is sealed off, it's just the goblins on the top of the mountain who will die. It won't hurt you Westshank."
As soon as he finished his words, a sky arrester descended from the sky, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, there are some sick demon people in Beishan."
"The plague demon is still in Xiaoqiu Mountain." Tan Min's eyes froze, "You follow me to Beishan."
They were about to leave, but ran into two sky arresters who ran back.
"My lord, there is a patient in Nanshan."
"My lord, Xishan also has them!"
Tan Min said: "Notify brother, seal off the entire Xiaoqiu Mountain."
Yun Cai called out "Tan Min".
Tan Min turned his head and said to Yun Cai: "Don't go back to Xishan, either go to the yamen to stay, or go back to the heaven."
"You let me go back to the heaven, aren't you afraid that I will sue you to the heaven!"
"Go ahead and sue. See if Tianjie is avenging your Xiaoqiushan, or standing on my side." Tan Min said, "Mianmian, be more sober, Tianjie doesn't care about a mere Xiaoqiushan at all. Leave as soon as possible."
After he finished speaking, he took his brother and left.
He told Yun Cai to leave, but Yun Cai's family and elder brothers and sisters are all here, so where can he go.
Yun Cai tried to cast a spell to send a message to his second brother who was far away in Ye Luo City, but the blue bird that the message turned into dissipated as soon as it touched the barrier—Xiao Qiushan's news was also completely blocked.
Yun Cai didn't have time to think about it anymore, and returned to Xishan and Yun's house just before Tianzhu blocked Xishan.
Yun Cai told her brothers and sisters at home to wait and see, when the Plague Demon was caught, there might be a turning point.
They waited and waited until there were more and more plague monsters in Beishan, and the disease spread like the wind.The epidemic also took root in Xishan, and all of them fell ill all at once.The demon people can't go out at all.
Many demon people who have not yet been infected with the disease flock to the pass and ask to leave Xiaoqiu Mountain.They are innocent, and they will be infected with the disease if they stay, but they are either beaten to death, or they are threatened by the sky arresters to come back.
There is no guarantee that none of the demon people who left Xiaoqiu Mountain were carrying the disease.Tianjie and Yamen dare not take this risk.
One month later, the plague demon was finally caught in Nanshan. At that time, the number of demon people infected with the disease in Xiaoqiu Mountain was already appalling.Yamen and Tan Min's subordinates still locked the entrance of Xiaoqiu Mountain to prevent them from going out.They comforted the demon people and said that they would immediately ask the heavenly doctor to come down to open a medicine shed to treat the demon people infected with the disease.
In the Yun family, the thirteenth brother Yunyao also fell ill, and the fourteenth brother took care of him day and night. In order to avoid infecting other members of the family, the fourteenth brother kept the thirteenth brother in the house and did not let anyone see the thirteenth brother.
Brother Thirteen had a persistent high fever and was so uncomfortable that he vomited.Yun Cai went out to find the doctor.He went out in Xishan wearing a veil. On the way, he got sick and died, complained a lot, and the demon people cried shrilly.He knocked on the doors of all the doctors in Xishan, one after another, but the doctors in Xishan had already closed their doors to see patients.
Yun Cai walked to the dark, and unknowingly walked to the blockade of Xishan.Tan Min was standing outside, talking to Tianzhu.
Tan Min saw Yun Cai by accident, and his face changed suddenly: "Mianmian, why are you still in Xishan! The disease in Xishan is spreading seriously, don't you know?"
Yun Cai didn't want to talk to him, and turned to leave.
Tan Min rushed into the blockade and grabbed Yun Cai: "Come out with me quickly, and leave Xiaoqiu Mountain with me tomorrow morning."
"I won't leave. I don't need to worry about my affairs, Mr. Tan Min|don't worry about it."
Tan Min tightly locked his wrist: "Don't mess around! The heavens have ordered it! To prevent the epidemic from spreading to the demon world, we will use the sky fire to burn Xiaoqiu Mountain tonight!"
Yun Cai's eyes widened in shock: "What did you say?"
"It is impossible for the demon people of Xiaoqiu Mountain to go out again! If they go out, they will only bring a catastrophe to the demon world! Heavenly Realm decided to sacrifice Xiao Qiushan to protect the demon world! This is God's will!"
Yun Cai looked at him deeply, without saying a word.He turned around and walked towards the west mountain, Tan Min grabbed him: "Mianmian, why are you so stubborn!"
At that time, a huge firework exploded in the night sky.
Tan Min murmured, "It's started."
Yun Cai saw countless flames falling from the sky, like rain penetrating through the enchantment, falling into Xiaoqiu Mountain, igniting the fire.Flames lit up in his eyes.
The demon people in the far west mountain were screaming and fleeing.
Tan Min pinched Yun Cai's wrist red: "Yun Cai! Did you see it! No one can escape! You are not a demon from Xiaoqiu Mountain, you are a fairy from the heaven! You have the right to escape!"
Yun Cai punched Tan Min in the face and knocked him to the ground.
Yun Cai turned his back to the light of the fire and the continuous rain of fire. "What God's will! It's just that you regard the demon people as worthless! It's just that you made an excuse for your incompetence and chose the most stupid way to die well." Yun Cai raised her chin and said contemptuously, "Tan Min, I I can't stand your hypocritical look."
Yun Cai ran towards the mountain, towards Yun's house.
The light of the fire fell at his feet, burning every inch of the grass.The thatched houses on the side of the road were burning, and the woods not far away were also burning.The demon people panicked to draw water to put out the fire.
When Yun Cai ran home, he was already dripping with sweat.My own rabbit hole was also on fire, and my brothers and sisters were desperately fighting the fire.
Yun Cai took a look around, the older brothers and sisters at home were all outside.The thirteenth brother leaned against the pile of debris outside the door, and the fourteenth brother stood by his side.
"Don't splash it!" Yun Cai said, "It's the heavens who want to burn Xiaoqiu Mountain. It's useless to splash it any more. The sky fire will keep falling until it burns Xiaoqiu Mountain!"
The older brothers and sisters stopped splashing water and fell silent for a moment.
Little Twelve's forehead was covered with gray marks. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and cursed: "He must be sick! Why are you asking for a heavenly doctor? Where did the heavenly doctor go? It was decided from the beginning! You want Xiao Qiushan to be buried with you, don't you?"
Xiao Shiwu wept silently.The other elder brothers didn't speak.
Yun Cai said: "There must be a way, we can't sit and wait for death. I'll go to the elders of the clan now!"
Yun Cai turned around and ran away again.
Xiao Shier shouted "Mian Mian" behind him, and Yun Cai ran in the firelight without looking back once.
