Chapter 1000 Two hundred 63 The ultimate source

"It's the mountain god we offended. This is indeed a man-made disaster."

Hua Manlou frowned and said, "Old man, you still don't understand my tea

what do you mean?How long has this been going on and where did it first happen? "Hua Manlou asked.

The old patriarch slowly recalled, "At first, the family by the stream had such symptoms. The child who was infected died within a few days and was buried long ago. Several children who played with him also passed away one after another. , What a crime!"

"Then old man, do you know where the corpse exorcist is?"

"Why do you want to find a corpse driver?"

Hua Manlou explained, "You don't need to understand this, just tell us where we can find the exorcist."

"Alas... As early as a few days ago, there were indeed corpse hunters who came to our village. It's a pity that the disasters here are all caused by angering the mountain gods. Even corpse hunters can't do anything about it. Don't dare to offend."

Hearing this, Hua Manlou smiled and asked, "Can you tell us where the corpse chaser went and how long he had been away?"

"If I remember correctly, it should be the day before yesterday. You should leave here quickly! Don't be infected with the plague in our village." The old patriarch said.

"Okay, then you are busy first."

After finishing speaking, Hua Manlou took Ding Ning back a few steps, and said in a low voice, "Brother Ding, this matter is probably not that simple, why don't we check with that family first?"

"Alright, if it was the day before yesterday, it is estimated that the corpse chaser has not gone far." Ding Ning also agreed with Hua Manlou's approach.

"Okay, then let's go!"

The two walked to the village, and there were miserable cries from every household along the way. More than one coffin was placed at the door, and white was hung on the door.

What used to be a quiet and peaceful village has now turned into a dead village. Some corpses are even thrown on the side of the road, and some people are not completely dead, lying on the ground dying and screaming.

"My Daoist guesses, I'm afraid this is not a natural disaster, but more like poisoning." Hua Manlou said while rubbing his smooth chin.

"It's almost inseparable. There are many poisons that can achieve the effect of spreading. I'd better go and see if I can help."

"no problem!"

The two came to the creek, which went straight through the village and divided the village into upper and lower circles, and there were several families in the upper circle.

Hua Manlou crossed the creek to the opposite side, tiptoed around the gates, then pointed to the last one, and said, "Brother Ding, this is the one."

"Okay, here I come!"

"Knock knock!!!"

Ding Ning stepped forward to knock on the door, and then a man came out with snot and tears, and looked at the two of them with surprised eyes.

"Hello, we are traveling doctors who treat diseases and save lives. I heard from the patriarch that your child was the first to be infected with this disease, right?"

But the middle-aged man still looked puzzled, because he didn't understand at all.

Ding Ning said while gesturing with his hands, "Fatty, wait a minute, I'll call the old patriarch over."

After a while, Ding Ning came over with the old patriarch and relayed their words to the middle-aged man.

The man nodded slightly and said, "Then come in, my child has already been buried."

"No, since we don't bother, let's go see other children."

After the old patriarch learned that the two were practitioners of medicine, he was willing to cooperate with them and took the two from door to door to see the children who were the first to contract the disease.

Among these children, the youngest is four or five years old, and the oldest is only 90 years old. Their bodies are already festered, and it is impossible to save them.

After Hua Manlou took the pulse of these children, he took out a few talisman papers and pasted them on the children's chests, then took a deep breath, and said, "The diseases they contracted are extremely cold, these talisman papers are used for To expel the cold from them."

"Okay, thank you!"

"I would like to ask, where have these children played before?" Ding Ning asked.

The parents of several families immediately began to recall. Ding Ning guessed that if these are toxins, then there must be a source, and the transmission rate is not high. It must be because of something that they were transmitted, so that they harmed the entire village.

A middle-aged woman recalled, "I remember that my younger sister went to the stream to play on the day when something was wrong. After coming back at noon, she told us that she was uncomfortable. We thought it was because we were tired from playing, so we didn't pay much attention. Thinking of... oh..."

"It's like this. My children also went to play with them. When they came back, they didn't eat much, and went directly to the house to sleep."

Hua Manlou nodded thoughtfully, looked at Ding Ning and said, "It seems that it is necessary to go to the upper stream of that stream to check."

A group of people immediately went to the upstream of the stream. The stream was not wide, and the pool in the upstream was not large, but it was crystal clear, and it was the kind of mountain spring water flowing from the mountains.

Ding Ning walked to the stream, dipped his hands in some water, and took a drop from his mouth.

"Bah, bah, bah!!! Fatty, there is indeed something wrong with this water, but ordinary people can't taste the difference, I can feel it."

"Then let Daoist Priest have a taste."

As he said that, Hua Manlou picked up a ladle from the stone beside him, scooped up a large ladle of water, and took a sip.

"puff!!!"

This made Huamanlou almost take off, and shouted, "It's terrible, it's terrible, why does this spring still have a rotten smell? It's been so long, it's too scary to still have this smell .”

There is no well in this village, because there is a small stream here, and they don't need to bother digging a well, as their ancestors have drank the water from this small stream.

Besides, even if there were bacteria in the stream, they would boil the water before drinking it. Basically, there would be no problem, and there would be no result other than man-made.

"But now it is certain that it is poison, but I don't know what it is, but it is unlikely to be a plague. Patriarch, you should understand what I mean. If something like this happens in the village, you can't blame their family. .”

"But where is the source of this? Are we still saved?" the old patriarch asked anxiously.

They thought it was the plague brought by the children of that family, and they disliked that family very much, but they never thought that it was the problem of the stream water they drank for generations.

Hua Manlou said, "I guess this thing is still upstream, let's go up the mountain and have a look."

"Let's go, let's go deep and have a look."

There was still a section of this creek behind the mountain, and everyone followed Huamanlou to the upper reaches, and along the way they could see the deeper part of the creek.

Chapter 1000 Two hundred 64 The Bottom of the Water

It's a pity that they didn't find any foreign objects in the crystal-clear stream, but the rotten smell still existed, which meant that the culprit had always been in the stream.

After more than an hour, everyone finally came to a deep puddle piled up with stones.

The old patriarch explained, "This is a small reservoir built by our village to prevent the stream from rising and flooding our village when it rains heavily."

"You guys are waiting for me here, I'll go over and have a look." Hua Manlou immediately walked upstream.

After a few minutes, Hua Manlou came back again and said, "Brother Ding, that thing should be at the bottom of the water, why don't you go down and fish it up?"

"I'm not going!" Ding Ning directly rejected Hua Manlou's request. If he hadn't had to, he would never have entered such a bottomless reservoir.

"The three of you are all good at water, go down and see what is harming our village!" said the old patriarch.

"Ok!"

The three strong men who followed took off their clothes and plunged into the water. They were also dead horses as living horse doctors. After all, if there was no cure, they would not live long.

"thump!!!"

The three jumped into the reservoir one after another and dived to the deepest part of the reservoir.

The old patriarch and his group waited anxiously on the shore, pulled Hua Manlou and asked, "Taoist chief, will anything happen to them?"

"If you ask the Daoist Master about this, the Daoist Master doesn't know. You can only take a look. I suspect that there is some kind of object at the bottom of the water."

The next second, a middle-aged man came out of the water and shouted in horror, "Patriarch! There is a corpse under the reservoir."

"Senior, what did he say?" Hua Manlou asked.

"There's a dead body under the reservoir."

"Ask again, have you found anything strange?"

The old patriarch conveyed Hua Manlou's words, and the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything, except for the corpse and some dead fish."

"Then hurry up and get the body up!"

"Good good!"

After more than ten minutes, the three strong men finally salvaged the body.

Ding Ning and Hua Manlou quickly surrounded it. The mummy had been soaked in the stream for a long time. Apart from being heavily rotted and exuding a strong rotten smell, some dark viscous liquid also flowed out.

"Fatty, I think this thing is the source of the disease in their village."

"That's right. Although this thing is the culprit, we have to investigate clearly where this mummy came from. This is the most important thing."

After speaking, Hua Manlou knelt down to look at the clothes worn by the mummy, and explained, "Judging from the clothes of this mummy, it has a history of at least 800 years, Brother Ding, do you still remember that we came here?" What is the purpose?"

"Your words..." Ding Ning frowned and said, "Do you mean that this corpse is the owner of the ancient tomb we are looking for?"

"Baobuqi is just as you said, let the Daoist take a look first."

Hua Manlou took out his ancestral compass from his cloth bag, looked at it, then slapped his thigh fiercely, and said, "This is indeed a treasure land of geomantic omen, and it is located at the source of the upper stream."

"That is to say, we came to the ancient tomb by mistake, but what about the villagers here? Is there any way to help them?" Ding Ning asked.

Now that they have found the source of the plague, Ding Ning has time to develop an antidote, but he knows his own situation, and he simply cannot stay here for a long time.

"You don't need to look at it. It must have been stained with toxins when the corpse was buried. It was just to prevent those tomb robbers, but unexpectedly, it was washed into the reservoir inexplicably, which caused them to suffer. In fact, the detoxification The method is not difficult."

"It's not difficult, as long as we meet each other, we have to help. It can be regarded as doing good deeds." Ding Ning said.

When Huamanlou heard this word, he became even more excited, and hurriedly called the villagers back.

He didn't stop doing two things, and asked someone to set up a large pot on the small playground, boiled a large pot of water, then opened his small cloth bag, found many different herbs and threw them into the large pot to boil.

The old patriarch was dumbfounded when he saw it, he felt very strange, how could such a small cloth bag hold so many things, but this also made him even more excited, and he said gratefully, "This is the reincarnation of an immortal. ! Our village has been saved."

Ding Ning asked people to add more firewood, and then burned the toxin-laden corpse, so as not to let him harm other people.

After an hour passed, Hua Manlou asked the old patriarch to ask everyone to bring their own bowls, put a bowl of soup and pay, and after drinking and sleeping, everything would be fine.

Ding Ning and Hua Manlou also drank a bowl. He couldn't guarantee whether the two of them would be infected with the disease.

The villagers all took this decoction, and gradually the pain in their festered areas disappeared, and some of them who were not seriously ill woke up quickly.

The medicinal effect of Huamanlou's decoction was so remarkable that Ding Ning couldn't help admiring this guy, and marveled that there were so many good things in this guy.

"Fatty, tell me, did you study medicine before?"

Hua Manlou said shyly, "You think too much, no matter what you learn in the Dadu Kingdom, you can't escape Taoism. As long as this Daoist masters Taoism thoroughly, you can learn everything else without a teacher. After all, everything is inseparable from its origin."

"Then we'll go straight after we've done all this. The corpse driver might go to that ancient tomb."

But before they left, Ding Ning had to explain one more thing, that is, let everyone go back to pack their things, and go to the mountain to stay for two days before returning home.

Ding Ning was worried that they would be massacred like Yunlanzhai. After all, those who chased and killed Ding Ning were all vicious people.

Ding Ning also didn't want to see these innocent villagers being massacred. Professor Tan and Qin Ling were coming towards him, and Yunlan Village already made him blame himself, and he didn't want to implicate other people because of himself.

The villagers also listened to Ding Ning's words very much, because in their eyes, Ding Ning and Hua Manlou had already become gods and men who saved them.

They packed up their things quickly, and then went up the mountain. According to Ding Ning's request, they stayed for a few days before going down the mountain.

Small villages like this usually set up shelters in the mountains, because there were many bandits and bandits in the past, and they had to be on guard.

Knowing that Ding Ning and Hua Manlou were leaving the village, the villagers offered them their own food, including bacon, glutinous rice cakes and the like.

The two of them were not polite to the villagers, but they only took some things, and when they were ready, they walked upstream of the stream.

Chapter 1000 Two hundred and 65 Bamboo Tube Wine

Hua Manlou walked while gnawing on the dried fishing rod and steamed buns in his hands.

"Fatty, don't eat, we don't have much food on us, who knows when we can leave this ghost place, keep some."

"Don't worry, according to my observation, if we walk another five miles, we will probably reach the ancient tomb."

Not long after the two walked, they came to a bamboo forest. The area of ​​this forest was very wide, extending all the way to the top of the mountain.

But Ding Ning did not rush in, but stopped and asked, "Fatty, smell it carefully, does it smell?"

Hua Manlou sniffed his nose in a dignified manner, and asked in confusion, "It's really strange, why does there smell like blood here?"

"Yes, yes, yes, this is the smell of blood."

"Oh, don't think too much about it. After crossing that mountain, we have come to the inner circle of Yunli Mountain. There are no people here. Maybe it smells like the blood of some beast."

"It's better to be careful, let's go in and have a look."

The bamboo forest here is green, and the bamboo exudes its unique fragrance, which is refreshing.

"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

As he walked, Hua Manlou subconsciously knocked on the emerald green bamboo, as if he had found something, and said to Ding Ning, "Brother Ding, lend me your dagger."
