I am a fairy

Chapter 68 Catching Plague Ghosts

Inside the palace.

The crowd gradually dispersed, the first to leave were the outsiders, and then the witches and shamans.

Finally, only the shaman wearing a straw crown was left standing under the altar.

He looked back at the wizard behind the curtain and felt that he seemed a little different.

It even feels.

The person sitting on it was no longer the figure he was familiar with, but the illusory god.

He did not ask what was different, nor did he ask how the shaman communicated with the gods or how he obtained the elixirs, prescriptions and decrees. He just remained silent.

He simply stretched out his dry and old hands from under his white linen clothes, kowtowed respectfully, and prepared to leave.

The witch suddenly asked him: "You don't want to ask me?"

The priest lowered his head and did not look at the divine shaman: "I shouldn't ask any more questions."

The witch didn't understand: "Why?"

In the past, the priests would always ask about it, and sometimes they would be strict.

Especially when the divine wizard made some actions and behaviors that were not in line with Yun Zhongjun's status as a divine wizard, he would speak very harshly and critically in a respectful manner.

At this time, the gods and witches would be extremely panicked, just like when they were children.

Or perhaps the shaman's rigid and regimented attitude was formed little by little under the strictness of the ritual shaman, even though she had grown up.

But at this moment, the witch said.

"Because you are already a true wizard."

The old witch raised his head, and the look in his eyes changed completely.

No matter how respectful he was when he worshipped the witch before, he was always scrutinizing her. He stared closely at the witch in front of him and did not allow her to deviate from the rules and regulations that represented Yun Zhongjun.

He was like a craftsman, shaping the other person into a statue.

At this moment, when the old priest looked at the divine priest, he felt as if he was looking at an ancient god who was detached from the mortal world and flying above the sea of ​​clouds.

In his eyes, the immortal ancient god truly descended into the statue he created, so the statue no longer needed his shaping. The other party's every move was already in the mold of the ancient Yun Zhongjun.

The witch said: "You are no longer yourself. You have crossed the boundary between mortals and gods. You are the spirit son of Lord Yunzhong, the witch chosen by Lord Yunzhong himself."

"I can teach an ordinary person, but I cannot give orders to a real demigod and half wizard."

There was a long silence.

Divine wizard: "I finally understand how to be a divine wizard."

The witch: "Yes."

Divine wizard: "I will become a real divine wizard."

Priest: "Of course!"

The priestess finally left, and the priestesses on both sides couldn't help but take two steps away from the priestess, as if they were afraid to look her in the face after the conversation.

The witch sat on the altar, the white curtain brushing against her sleeves. At this moment, she recalled the scene of last night and the words that Yun Zhongjun had said.

The drunkenness seemed to come back to me, and the memories came back like a dream.

"I am Yun Zhongjun, but I will not appear in front of most people."

"And your every move represents me, your words represent me, your good and evil, your likes and dislikes, your mercy and conscience, all represent me in the eyes of everyone else."

She recalled Yun Zhongjun's every move, which seemed like a dream, and imitated him.

Yun Zhongjun asked her to be the Yun Zhongjun outside, a "good-looking" Yun Zhongjun, but she felt that nothing could be more "good-looking" than the Yun Zhongjun in her dreams.

Only by becoming the Yun Zhongjun in the dream, Yun Zhongjun will be flawless and become a perfect ancient god.

From now on, witch sacrifices were no longer a constraint for her.

But there seemed to be something else framing her, as if it came from others, but more so from herself.
-
The county seat of Xihe County.

More and more people were found to be infected with the disease, but people were no longer helpless.

The government office opened another courtyard next to the courtyard where people possessed by plague ghosts were treated, which was used exclusively for treating illnesses and saving lives.

At this moment, the Yin-Yang Taoist priest in the courtyard was leading a group of Taoist priests and doctors to prepare ghost-removing powder.

The hot water in the yard was boiling, and everyone around covered their mouths and noses, saying that this was to prevent the plague ghosts from entering through their mouths and noses. The clothes that were taken off were boiled in a big pot, saying that this was to remove the filth.

"be careful."

"Pay attention to the temperature when boiling the medicine, don't make a mistake."

"Your approach is wrong..."

In the other yard, the patient was lying on a mat groaning. Now, someone was finally taking care of him and he was no longer lying there waiting to die.

"Pay attention, all the filth is landfilled."

"Cover your mouth and nose."

"Everything must be washed and boiled after going out." "..."

The county magistrate took over several pharmacies in the city and collected all the usable medicinal materials. If there were not enough, he would send hunters, woodcutters, and herbalists in the mountains to look for them.

As the days passed, the plague brought by the plague ghost was gradually brought under control, and the initial group of people had even begun to get better, with some people starting to walk out of the yard alive.

When people outside saw their husbands, wives and children coming out, they immediately let out loud screams or cried.

However, the "vitality sucked away by the plague ghost" cannot be recovered in a short time. The disease comes like a mountain and goes like a thread.

But at least in the past two days, there have been no new people possessed by plague ghosts.

Jia Gui's residence.

Jia Gui's wife was lying on the bed, surrounded by her two children. She looked much better, at least not as weak as before.

Jia Gui: “How is it?”

Madam: "It shouldn't be a big deal."

The young man from the Jia family said: "This is the elixir that Grandpa asked the gods for. He also asked for the elixir recipe, which saved countless lives."

The lady smiled and said, "Your grandfather has a very kind heart and has great merits."

Jia Gui smiled and said nothing.

Jia Gui looked at the box that looked like jade but was not jade, and hurriedly gave instructions.

"This is an elixir bestowed by the gods. Keep it well. It will surely be useful in the future."

However, although the epidemic has been brought under control in Xihe County, it is still the county least affected by the plague. The other surrounding counties, especially Jingu County, are now particularly severely affected.

After Jia Gui left home, he immediately went to see the Yin-Yang Taoist priest. After discussing with him, the Taoist priest went back and found the two Taoist priests Ao and He.

Yin Yang Taoist: "You two should prepare immediately, select some people, and bring everything needed for the Ghost Exorcist Powder."

Taoist Ao: "What are you going to do?"

Yin Yang Taoist: "The plague is even worse in other counties right now. County Master Jia asked us to take some people over there. This is a rare opportunity. You two must seize it."

The two Taoist priests Ao and He set out for other counties with their Taoist children, preparing to completely quell this sudden plague of evil spirits.

It is called catching the plague ghost.

It can be expected that after this incident, Yun Zhendao will become famous for catching plague ghosts.

Not only in Xihe County, the reputation also began to spread to several nearby counties.

Not to mention other counties, the same is true in Xihe County at the moment.

"The Taoist priests of Yun Zhen Dao are extremely powerful."

"So many plague ghosts were caught by them and wiped out completely."

"Yun Zhen Dao has a true Dao. I heard that the Daoists on the mountain have obtained the immortals' magic."

"That's not."
-
However, just when everything was getting better, Xihe County was even able to free up its hands to help other counties catch the plague.

Jia Gui was in a good mood and was sitting in the county office drinking tea peacefully.

suddenly.

The head servant Liu Hu suddenly rushed in and spoke to Jia Gui with sweat on his forehead.

"It's not good, County Lord."

Jia Gui put down the teacup and stood up quickly.

"what happened?"

Liu Hu, the head of the army, said: "Suddenly, many people possessed by plague ghosts appeared in the west of the city. Not only that, but also several villages in the county are like this."

Jia Gui didn't understand: "Didn't they say everything was under control? How could it suddenly go bad?"

Liu Hu couldn't tell the reason: "How can I know this? County Master, can you come up with an idea quickly?"

Jia Gui immediately took Liu Hu to find the Yin-Yang Taoist priest: "Brother Lu, what is going on?"

The old Yin-Yang Taoist was also confused: "What's going on? Why are there so many suddenly?"

After some investigation, Jia Gui and others also found that these people possessed by the plague ghost were different from before. They appeared in groups, rather than spreading from person to person one after another.

And there was absolutely no source; it just suddenly broke out in a certain place.

In the lobby of the county office.

Jia Gui already felt that something was wrong, but he didn't say anything at first. Instead, he looked at the Taoist priest.

The Yin-Yang Taoist also understood, so he spoke.

"I found it a little strange before. These plague ghosts usually appear in large numbers only in summer and autumn."

"But this year, they appeared in large numbers during the spring equinox. Something is wrong."

“Is there something else behind this?”
