Chapter 179: The True Lord Arrives

Chapter 179 The True Lord Arrives "Brother, as you see it, this place is a sacred place for the Heavenly Weng. Will the God of Plague come to take away the plague?" Lin Jue asked when he saw the Fifth Brother calmly cleaning the insect eggs. "You think too much." The fifth brother kept moving his hands: "It is true that there is a general who can take away the plague in heaven, but this is like magic. Only the gods can take back the plague that they have released. Moreover, the general who can take away the plague can only stop the plague from spreading further, and those who have already been infected will not be cured." "That's it!" Lin Jue paused for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Now that it has been confirmed that the plague ghost is real, where do you think it came from?" "Junior brother!" Fifth Brother continued to move, his expression and thoughts remained calm, and his tone was calm as usual: "We are Taoists of the Lingfa sect. We do not worship gods, nor have we achieved true enlightenment. Although we should have a heart for the people, we also need to know that human power is limited. It is better for us to stay out of such matters for the time being." Then he paused: "We should look at what is in front of us and treat what can be treated. As for things that are too high and too far away, oh, Junior Brother, you have a bright future. Just keep moving forward. One day, you will be in front of me. If Junior Brother can still have the heart he has now, it will be a blessing for all living beings." Lin Jue remained silent after hearing this.

Although it seemed that Fifth Brother avoided the topic and said nothing, he had actually expressed his guess. This matter might be related to the gods. Just like the plague department in the sky—— This sounds counterintuitive. Among the gods who are supposed to be doing good for the people, there is a department that is specifically in charge of plague. These gods in the plague department can not only collect plague, but also release it. And in many cases, the plague is not just used to attack external enemies. It's not just plague, there are other natural disasters as well. Sometimes they sent down natural disasters to eliminate foreign enemies or pagans, sometimes to change or speed up the course of history, and sometimes for their own religious interests, and so on. Shintoism is a religion, and "making people afraid" is also an important means for them to control the people of the world. While Lin Jue was thinking, he saw the fifth senior brother holding a lot of washed insect eggs, shaking off the water, and swallowing them directly with his head tilted back. Even Lin Jue couldn't help but be stunned. The elder brother's expression remained calm: "Don't be surprised. With the abilities of us cultivators, the fastest way to quickly understand the pathology and toxicity of this plague and the principles of yin and yang and the five elements is to get sick yourself. You have learned how to take medicine, so you should be clear about this principle." "This……" Lin Jue was speechless for a moment. It is exactly as Fifth Brother said. But this did not affect his surprise at the scene and his admiration for this senior brother, especially the fact that the fifth senior brother had no psychological burden at all. "Diseases come from the mouth. If you had studied medicine with me, you would have eaten a lot of messy things." After Fifth Brother finished speaking, he wiped his hands. "Let's get some sleep first."

"it is good." Lin Jue followed him back to the room. …… Three days later—— All the brothers and sisters have arrived in Cuiwei County. In this way, Lin Jue felt more relaxed, as it was no longer his turn to do chores for Fifth Senior Brother. When it comes to making and decocting medicines, finding and collecting herbs, or helping to judge the pharmacology and toxicity, the second brother is naturally better at it. When it comes to dealing with people, the third and seventh brothers will do it. As for other hard and dirty work, Lin Jue never heard of it, and the younger sister rushed to do it. In addition, he had heard of this plague before and knew the main medicine, so within a few days, Fifth Brother had prepared the prescription. The first person to take the decoction was a doctor in the city. Half a day after taking the medicine, he had the same reaction as those patients who had received acupuncture treatment from Senior Brother Five, and he lay on a bench and vomited two or three liters of snakes. "How does it feel?" The fifth brother asked the doctor. "My stomach is empty..." The doctor wiped his mouth and answered weakly. "let me see." "Dare to ask..." "The worms and snakes in the stomach have not been completely eliminated, but the medicine has taken effect. You will be cured after taking it for a few days." After checking the pulse, the fifth brother said to the brothers around him, "Go and call the doctors and epidemic officials from the plague center, and quickly send the prescription to the epidemic officials in the city who have not yet fallen ill, and tell them to try to send it to Liuyun County and villages everywhere." "it is good!" Everyone walked out. Before long, all the doctors who treated the sick in the city were in the lobby of the inn, but some of them walked there tremblingly, while others were carried there. "Does the real person really have a prescription?" All the doctors in the city were delighted and couldn't believe it. "I just drank the medicine that the real person prepared, and I vomited more than two liters of snakes. Now I feel much better in my stomach." The doctor who just drank the decoction said, "At least the pain is gone, and I want to eat now." "If that's the case, then we can be saved!" "Could it be that the real person is the incarnation of the God of Medicine?" "The real person must be a deity from the mortal world!" "Don't do that, everyone." The fifth brother said, "Take the medicine first and get rid of the insect plague in your body." "Good good!"

Many doctors can't wait. At the same time, a true deity descended into the City God Temple. The Cuiwei City God had been trembling with fear for days, knowing that his good days were probably coming to an end. However, none of the methods he came up with worked - he wanted to invite the Taoist priest over, bribe or coerce him, or push the blame on him, but he simply didn't come. He then sent military officers to get him, but the two military officers in the city were unable to do anything to him, and one of them was even injured. Now, of course, I can only live in fear. Until today, the two True Lords have descended together. Cuiwei City God knew that today was probably the day to decide his fate. Looking at the two True Lords in front of him, he was stunned. One of them is the Holy Lord, one of the four great Lords who protect religions under Tianweng. He has always been in charge of this place, and the Cuiwei City God is familiar with him. However, this time there is a relatively unfamiliar Lord. Of course, he is unfamiliar just because he has never dealt with him. There is also a small statue of this Lord in the City God Temple of Cuiwei County, so he can naturally be recognized. This is the Fuchi Lord under the command of the Zixu Emperor. Fuchi Shenjun was wearing armor, holding a sword at his waist, with a face as sharp as a knife, and a murderous aura as if he had just come down from the battlefield. When he saw him, he asked in a deep voice: "Are you the City God of Cuiwei?" "The little god is..." This True Lord made him subconsciously feel a little timid. "Has the plague ghost been caught?" "No, no!" The Cuiwei City God spoke tremblingly. Knowing that after today, he would either fail in his duty and be punished, or he would never be able to be the City God again, he hardened his heart and turned back to look at the two priests behind him: "But there are two priests in the small temple. They guard the south gate of this county. That day, the Taoist from the Lingfa School came in from the south gate. They have some ideas." Fuchi Shenjun glanced behind him: "Say!" The City God also looked back. The two priests knew what was going on and immediately came forward. They did not dare to look at the True Lord, nor did they dare to waste time. The fat priest spoke first: "Replying to the True Lord, I dare to guess that there was no plague ghost in the first place. Otherwise, how come the eight of us city guarding priests guard the city gates day and night without seeing any trace of plague ghosts? And when the Taoist of the Lingfa Sect entered the city, he happened to bring a monster with him. The plague in the city started after he entered the city." "We suspect that the plague was brought by that Taoist priest!" the thin priest continued, "and the City God once sent a military officer to invite him to come and investigate, but he not only did not dare to come, he also resisted arrest and injured the military officer in the city." However, they only heard a majestic voice in front of them. It didn't sound loud, but it exploded in their ears like thunder: "Why don't you dare raise your head when you speak?" The two were immediately terrified, lowering their heads and trembling: "Zhen, Zhenjun's real body and Dharma body, the divine light is thousands of feet high, we are so insignificant in Taoism that we naturally dare not look directly at it." "Humph!" A cold snort, like thunder. The two priests were horrified and dared not disobey, so they could only raise their heads tremblingly. Immediately his whole body trembled! There were two True Lords in front of them. The Holy Guardian True Lord was wearing silver armor and a white cloak behind him. He was looking at them with his arms folded. Two heavenly soldiers behind him were carrying a large spear for him. There was a flash of golden light in the eyes of the Holy Protector. When the golden light appeared, it seemed to pierce into their hearts from their eyes. As for the Lord of Fuchi, he wore a black and gold scale armor, a robe, and a sword at his waist. He didn't even use his magical powers, but just looked at them coldly, as if he were looking at dead people. "Why doesn't the Taoist come?"

The Holy Protector finally spoke, retracted his gaze and asked them. "We...we don't know either..." "Did you really injure the military attaché?" "It's absolutely true! Officer Wang's injuries haven't fully healed yet!" "Even if the Taoist priests of the Lingfa School have a clear conscience, they should have come when summoned by the gods! Not only did they not come, they also dared to resist arrest. This is quite unruly!" Lord Protector looked at Lord Fuchi. "Bullshit rules! Your place is rotten to the core, and you still blame others for not following the rules?" Fuchi Shenjun looked at him coldly, not taking this martial god who was also a true lord like him seriously at all. "If you are dissatisfied, then follow me to find that Taoist priest and ask him carefully to see what those incompetent officials in your place have done!" "Right on my mind!" "lead the way!" Both gods looked at the priest. "As ordered..." The two priests were extremely nervous and frightened, but they had no choice but to agree. There is only a little hope in my heart. This Holy Protector has always been protective of his shortcomings and has always valued the dignity of the gods. Regardless of whether the Taoist was right or wrong, the City God asked him to investigate, but he not only refused to go, he also injured the military officer in the temple. This alone was enough for the Holy Protector to punish him. The True Lord was a real person in ancient times, and he specialized in fighting magic. Even the Taoists who had achieved enlightenment were mostly not their opponents. As long as the True Lord was willing to punish him, it was believed that the Taoist would not be able to cause any trouble. The city god and the earth god came and went in the city very quickly, and the two true gods also rode on clouds and mist. In a moment, a group of divine soldiers and heavenly generals arrived at the inn. Unexpectedly, the inn was still crowded at this time. The fifth senior brother was sitting at a table. Lin Jue and the third senior brother were helping to divide the medicine. Beside them sat countless doctors, epidemic officials, and runners. The youngest junior sister was taking out a bucket full of long snake-like worms to deal with. “This medicine is amazing!” "Yes, to be able to prepare a prescription in just a few days, I'm afraid even the famous doctors in the world can't do it!" "Is the real person really not a god?" "Teacher, why don't you just go to Liuyun County? All of us Cuiwei people should raise funds and build a Taoist temple for you in Cuiwei County. How about you practice Taoism here? That way we can repay your kindness." "Yeah yeah!" "Everyone, take good care of yourself. If you feel better after taking a few doses of the decoction, please take the medicine according to the prescription, give more to the poor, go out of the city to more villages, and save more people." Many doctors and epidemic officials agreed. The two True Lords arrived here and happened to see this scene. The divine generals and heavenly soldiers around Lord Fu Chi left him immediately and went upstairs to search for possible evidence. Only he and Lord Husheng stood there, looking at these Taoists, the decoction in the bowl, the doctors and epidemic officials who had taken the decoction, and the worms they vomited into the bucket. The fifth senior brother naturally saw them as well and glanced at them, but because there were so many people around, he did not react. Plus, he had more important things to do, so he continued to explain the prescription to the doctors. The two True Lords did not say anything and listened carefully.

Lin Jue and his third senior brother stood up and couldn't help but look at them, and then at the two priests guarding the city behind them. The two priests were already in a panic. "Master, don't be fooled by them. Maybe they did this on purpose. This is their trick!" "That's absolutely right! And no matter what, it was reasonable for the City God to summon him for questioning. This Taoist relied on his Taoist power and not only refused the City God's summons, but also injured the military officer..." The Holy Protector had no expression on his face. Lord Fu Chi had already frowned, a look of disgust on his face, and he reached out to press the hilt of the sword at his waist. No one saw him move, only the sound of a sword blade cutting through the void was heard. "laugh!" Before the two priests could finish their words, they were cut in half at the waist and turned into ashes in an instant. Even the Taoist in the room was stunned by this scene. (End of this chapter)
