Chapter 402: Mingyue Island Gains the Support of the People
Because Xie Ling had said before at the gate of Jingzhao Yin that anyone who takes the goddess's potion will have a black mole on their body.
In addition, after the heavy rain, many people developed strange diseases one after another.
Gradually, everyone discovered that those who fell ill were those who had taken the magic woman's medicine!
Those who didn't take the magic medicine lived well and had no problems at all, even if their bodies were covered with scars.
Now, the goddess' altar is full of people, surrounding it and shouting "Goddess, help me."
It's already noon today, and the goddess hasn't appeared yet.
The people's resentment is growing.
After hearing the report, Xu Haitang's face looked very ugly.
"Everyone get out!"
After everyone left, she opened the mechanism with a sullen face and walked into the dark room.
The secret room was filled with fist-sized luminous pearls that were as bright as day.
The surrounding walls are engraved with rune totems of southern Xinjiang. In the middle, there is a portrait of the witch god, and there are incense offerings below.
Faint white smoke rose, filling the entire dark room with a strange atmosphere.
Xu Haitang has always been a native of southern Xinjiang and believes in witch gods.
As soon as she entered the dark room, she kowtowed to the witch god before standing up.
I came to the altar in the middle and looked at the wooden box in the middle.
At this moment, the mother Gu is continuously producing offspring Gu, and the black Gu worms are surging.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, he would probably be scared to death.
Xu Haitang's eyes were sparkling, full of admiration and desire.
This is the most perfect poisonous insect she has ever developed.
It can not only treat epidemics, but also lie dormant in the human body.
Of course, it is not a proper treatment method and has great side effects.
Moreover, due to the lack of Southern Xinjiang Blood Snake Flowers, she could only use her own blood to fuse with the blood of young virgins to feed them.
Her blood is of extreme yin, which is like a delicious delicacy to the poisonous insects. Just a little bit of it can ignite their activity.
The poisonous insects are so active that they can crawl out of the scars of ordinary people.
Xu Haitang frowned tightly.
She expected that without the blood snake flower, some problems would occur with the insect.
But I didn't expect it to be so serious.
If the current situation is not handled properly, her prestige as a goddess will inevitably be damaged.
Maybe there will be backlash.
Xu Haitang paced back and forth in the dark room, looking anxious.
The virgin blood is still too little.
But she didn't dare to expand.
She was afraid of being discovered by the Nangong family.
Xu Haitang sighed, walked to the wooden box, carefully took out the mother Gu in the middle, and planned to remove it.
She is not good at removing poison.
In the art of Gu, some people are good at raising Gu, while others are good at removing Gu.
Xu Haitang is the former.
But for now, we can only help a part of people to detoxify and cure their diseases in order to stop them from talking.
The people are not fools, they will believe whatever she says.
Xu Haitang made up his mind and left the dark room.
He sent servants to spread the word that she was traveling.
At the same time, the people were forbidden to spread false rumors, and it was asserted that those who were sick were disrespectful to the goddess.
After these words were spoken, the situation was somewhat stabilized.
But those who were suffering from worm diseases hated the goddess even more.
How had they ever disrespected her?
This is simply a disaster!
Now the epidemic in the city has been basically controlled, and there are not many people suffering from the epidemic.
The disciples of Mingyue Island quickly took advantage of the victory and pursued them.
We call on all people suffering from insect diseases to come to Mingyue Island so that we can help them with diagnosis and treatment.
People who are not sick can also come here to see if there is any chance of getting sick.
Mingyue Island's actions are almost enough to make it clear that there is something wrong with the Goddess Medicine.
Xie Ling cannot remove the insect directly because she lacks the mother insect.
But she developed a medicine that can stabilize the poisonous insects.
At least it can allow the people to return to normal and be less miserable.
Three days.
The goddess didn't come out to explain.
Mingyue Island has gained the trust of most of the people.
Seeing that the situation was developing so well, Xie Ling quickly took advantage of the situation.
While Xu Haitang was not showing up, he announced to the people that they were suffering from Gu poison, and the black moles on their hands were the symbol of the poison.
As soon as these words came out.
All the people were scared to death.
Gu poison, this is an evil thing that only existed during the Zhou Dynasty!
How could he appear in Dongling Kingdom?
Now, no matter whether people are sick or not, they all come to Mingyue Island to ask for medicine.
I just want peace of mind.
The noble families in Kyoto originally did not care about the fact that the common people suffered from strange diseases.
After hearing about the poison, the noble families started to become alert, and even the palace was affected.
When Nangong Yu heard the rumors in the capital reported by his servants, he frowned slightly but said nothing.
He knew that his little sister was a goddess.
Even the guards around Nangong Haitang were sent by him.
"Is the Goddess's medicine a poison?"
When Nangong Yu just heard the word "poison", he felt a gust of cold wind passing by and got goose bumps all over his body.
He said coldly, "This is nonsense. Suppress it quickly and don't let it spread. By the way, where is the young lady?"
"My Lord, the young lady hasn't shown up for a few days."
The expression in Nangong Yu's eyes changed thousands of times.
Naturally, he didn't believe that his younger sister was good at poisoning.
Therefore, there must be someone behind this who is causing trouble.
Who would that be?
Nangong Yu knocked on the table.
"The origin of this group of people from Mingyue Island..."
The servants understood the meaning of the music and asked, "Do you think they are fake?"
Nangong Yu raised his eyebrows.
"Mingyue Island is far away from the world, so it's possible that there are laymen pretending to be here."
"Yes, I will arrange it."
Nangong Yu's expression was cold.
Regardless of whether it is fake or not, they must be asked to leave Dongling Kingdom.
Every day they stay together causes chaos.
Kyoto is the capital of Dongling Kingdom, and he would not allow such a thing to happen.
On the second day, Xie Ling clearly felt the decrease in the number of people.
She asked Yu Wei and others to maintain order, and she went to find Zhang Minyan.
Zhang Minyan was also on his way to find her.
He said anxiously, "The Nangong family has begun to guard against you, so you better be careful. I guess the court will intervene in this matter in a few days."
Xie Ling thought carefully and understood.
The Nangong family was afraid of causing unrest.
She was a little puzzled and asked the question she had always had.
"What about the Murong family? I always feel that the Murong family's influence in Kyoto is not very strong."
Zhang Minyan said: "The Nangong family is in charge of the political affairs of the capital, and the Murong family is in charge of industry and commerce and water conservancy, and their power is mainly in the fiefdom.
Although the two families are at odds with each other, they are still loyal to Dongling and will not interfere in other people's affairs."
Xie Ling nodded.
"I need you to send people to continue spreading the news about the poison. It would be best to make the situation more tense and force the goddess to show up."
Zhang Minyan cupped his hands, "Minyan will definitely live up to your mission."
Xie Ling looked at Zhang Minyan's back, her eyes thoughtful.
I don’t know when Nangong Cheng will be able to find the evidence and come back.
With the Nangong family as a big tree to lean on, it is difficult to shake Xu Haitang.
---
Although the imperial court could prevent people from discussing this matter openly.
But it cannot control the rumors spreading behind the scenes, nor can it alleviate the panic of the people.
With Zhang Minyan and his men fanning the flames in the market, Kyoto became even more troubled, and the rumor of poison was like a dark cloud.
Nangong Yu was mocked by the Murong family when he went to court this morning, saying that he was incompetent and could not maintain order in the capital.
He left the court with a gloomy face.
Back in the study, a staff member gave some advice.
"Young Master, do we need to ask the doctors from Mingyue Island to leave Dongling? After all, they have been spreading the rumor that the Goddess's medicine is a poison. Now the people of Dongling trust them very much, and the people are in turmoil..."
"We need to take a closer look. Don't chase them away yet."
The expression in Nangong Yu's eyes was difficult to discern.
At first, he really thought that it was the people from Mingyue Island who were causing trouble and spreading rumors.
But later, as the rumors intensified.
He also gained an in-depth understanding of the people's illnesses, combining ancient books with consultations with imperial physicians.
I always feel that this matter will not be that simple.
What the people were suffering from was indeed like a poison...
So, what role does Nangong Haitang play in this?
Thinking of this, he asked, "Where has the eldest lady been these days?"
His tone was not very good.
Kyoto is in chaos, where on earth did she go?
