I am a ghost messenger, why do I need a long life?
Chapter 98 The City is Full of Gods
Next to him, Jiang Hanye looked at the scene that seemed like a human epidemic, and immediately realized that the matter was no longer something he could solve.
With a slight thought, Jiang Hanye took out a Qingluan Xiuyu from his arms.
When he was going down the mountain, his master and senior sister told him that the scope of the encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the Lishan Sword Sect was huge. If he encountered danger and could not resist, he could just crush the jade.
As long as the Xiuyu jade is broken, the monks from other sects in the nearest area who possess this jade will be sensed and rush to rescue as quickly as possible.
At this moment, although they have not encountered any danger, what is happening before their eyes is far beyond their ability to solve.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hanye no longer hesitated. He exerted force with his fingers and palms, and the moment his magic power was activated, the Xiuyu shattered in his palms.
At the same time, Zhang Xianren was almost going crazy with anxiety. He stood on the long street full of collapsed and poisoned people, looked around, and for the first time felt the painful feeling of powerlessness.
Unlike the Yangzhou Earth Dragon Incident, there were disaster relief measures and coping methods at that time.
The people buried under the houses should be rescued if possible, and buried as soon as possible if they cannot be rescued.
Opening granaries to store grain, rebuilding houses, and repairing fields are all solutions.
But at this moment, he saw that Xu An was still alive, and the two monks were helpless against the poison, and all of a sudden his mind exploded.
Yangzhou has already suffered a heavy blow. Is it going to be hit a second time in such a short time?
"My friend, you know the characteristics and source of this poison so well?"
After trying in vain, Leduan walked to Xu An and stared at him.
In his understanding, Xu An should be a priest from the underworld who came to the world of the living to serve.
But judging from his performance throughout the day, Leduan felt that he was not an ordinary ghost messenger. It seemed that everything that happened here was inextricably linked to him.
"It's not that I know everything, but I have actually encountered it. If I tell you, Master, that there are enemy spies among the human race, would you believe me?"
Xu An looked up and saw Leduan. He felt very confused. He thought that if he talked to someone, he might be able to find a solution.
"What kind of enemy are you talking about, my friend?"
Although Leduan was born in Kucheng Temple and has considerable strength, at his current level, he is still far from being able to reach the Dark Daozhou.
Xu An knew he was confused and explained softly:
"A group of people who covet the Three Realms, they constantly want to defeat us and take our world away. I have studied this with other priests of the Yin Court and found that their methods are unique in the history of struggle..."
Looking back on what happened in the past, combined with the owner of the underground palace and the clues obtained in the Yellow Springs space, Xu An can roughly connect the past of the three realms.
But a very important point is that the dark power that can control the monks has never appeared before, and it should have been born very recently.
After all, the battle between the Three Realms and the Dark Dao State can be traced back thousands of years.
During such a long period of time, if the Three Realms knew that the Dark Daozhou had the means to control monks, it would be impossible for them to do nothing and be completely unprepared.
Even if we try one method every day to break this controlling power, it would be enough to exhaust all possible methods in the world until today.
Therefore, the Dark Daozhou's method of controlling people's hearts has not been around for long, so even if it infiltrates, it should only be like a small-scale multi-point blossoming.
Unfortunately, Xu An witnessed all of this.
In the Yin Court, he was facing souls and bodies, so he could go straight to the soul-refining stone mill without any scruples.
But at this moment, he is in the human world, what should these mortals do?
Grind their souls and bodies as well?
How to detoxify the body?
Leduan was standing nearby. After listening to Xu An's brief description, he couldn't help but say:
"In the past, I only knew that fairies could practice secret techniques and use their magical powers to control the souls of mortals. I never thought that the potential enemies of the Three Realms would actually develop even more terrifying methods!"
"If a cultivator is infected, his temperament will change drastically, and he will not be able to distinguish friend from foe. Then, at this moment, even if the people of Yangzhou can withstand the intense poison, won't they become like aliens?"
Xu An frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Leduan and nodded:
"That's what I'm worried about. The water source is poisonous and can't be drunk anymore. How long has it been since he entered Yangzhou? What if the whole city is poisoned?"
Forcing himself to calm down, Xu An tried to look at the situation he was facing by stepping outside the overall situation.
He told Zhang Xian a series of countermeasures:
"All open-air water cannot be drunk. Organize those who are still able to move, gather the poisoned people together, and use all the herbs that can detoxify and prolong life to make a soup."
"We must also send someone to inform other areas of Yangzhou not to drink any open-air water sources, as they might be poisonous!"
Zhang Xian looked at Xu An, nodded without hesitation, and asked his men to do it immediately.
"not enough."
Looking around, all he saw were ordinary people poisoned and unconscious. Xu An knew that if this hurdle in Yangzhou was not handled properly, the number of people who would die would be far greater than when the earth dragon turned over.
By then, resentment will condense, ghosts will gather, and when the yin energy reaches its peak, extremely powerful resentful ghosts will be born accidentally, causing chaos in the world.
Thinking of this, he walked into a grocery store, took out a handful of thin incense from the counter, lit it with the divine fire, and blessed it with the fragrance of the incense, saying:
"In my name, with incense as my seal, the Yin Court commands, and the gods reveal themselves!"
The voice trembled slightly.
The moment the incense stick fell to the ground and was firmly inserted in Xu An's hand, a strong wave of wish power spread in all directions.
Yangzhou is the place where he became a god on earth.
Although the official position is given by the underworld, one cannot communicate with heaven and earth as easily in the human world as in the underworld, but the aroma of incense and the power of human wishes are still there.
The moment the wave was transmitted, many minor gods in the entire Yangzhou city were suddenly awakened.
"The law of the underworld?"
"The smell of incense?"
"An imperial order to us?"
"Why?"
“I don’t know yet!”
After a series of sounds were heard.
Dozens of streams of light flowed across the earth.
Accompanied by wisps of green smoke, dozens of divine figures appeared in front of Xu An, Zhang Xian, Jiang Hanye, Leduan and others.
Although these gods don’t know what happened yet.
But after he appeared, they looked at Xu An's cultivation level of the Purple Mansion Realm, his official robe fluttering in the wind, and even the God of Land was there, and their attitudes immediately softened a lot.
"I am the god of candlelight here. I wonder why the high priest summoned me!"
"Yes, Master Priest, I am only a small god guarding the city walls of this main city. Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"Sir, I am the god in charge of the farm tools here. My magical powers are limited, so I'm afraid I can't help you..."
These gods that appeared were all minor gods in Yangzhou City, responsible for maintaining the lives of the people.
Although I have no magical power, no achievements, no merits, and no future...
But at this moment, Xu An was already very relieved that they could come.
He gestured to these living gods and said while looking around:
"A cultivator in Yangzhou has poisoned someone. The poison is extremely powerful and difficult to cure. We are short of manpower, so we have to call you here to help. Gather all the poisoned people and brainstorm to see if you have any ideas for remedying it."
As soon as these words were spoken, the group of little gods who had been summoned looked at each other in confusion.
Among them was a god who immediately stepped forward to check the poisoning condition of the people around him. After a moment, he shook his head and said:
"Sir, although I am the Kitchen God of Yangzhou and in charge of the fire here, I am powerless. This is such a strong poison. I am afraid that only the Kitchen God of the Divine Court can solve it."
The other little gods all nodded.
The things they are in charge of are all very ordinary. Compared with the gods in charge of the world in the Divine Court, they are simply incomparable.
At this moment, the situation they faced was no different from eating millet rice in a bowl, but worrying about the emperor's heart, and having to save this country...
"I'm not asking for a cure, just go and lend a hand..."
Xu An was helpless, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't blame them.
Faced with this situation, these grassroots gods are truly powerless, just like they were when they faced the invasion of the Styx into the human world.
He wanted to go find the God Tiandu in Yangzhou, but then he thought that his rank was not high enough and that the God Tiandu might not pay attention to him.
"I don't know where you ran off to. Do you still need me to wipe your butt?"
Feeling depressed, Xu An sighed heavily and said to Zhang Xian and others:
"I'm going back to the City God Temple to call the City God over. You guys stay here and wait for me!"
Jiang Hanye and others nodded. Under the current circumstances, they had no choice but to obey Xu An's orders.
Throughout Yangzhou, whether it was the Great Xia Imperial Court or the various sects in the human world, including the Zen Sect and the Divine Court, no one had any experience in dealing with this poison, except Xu An...
Passing through the city, the entire Yangzhou began to fall into chaos. Xu An also saw poisoning in other areas.
"Don't drink any water from the open air, and be careful with well water too!"
There was no other way, he could only use his magic power, and the divine light on his body became bright and brilliant purple. As a priest, he warned other ordinary people who had not been poisoned.
After walking all the way back to the City God Temple, Xu An looked up and saw that many people were burning incense here. One of them was crying and begging, saying that his family had been poisoned and begged the City God to have mercy and save them...
Xu An frowned slightly, went straight in, and found Qi Kai in the place of the divine cage.
At this moment, he was sitting there drinking tea, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
"Master Qi, are you still so leisurely even though something happened?"
Xu An's ghost was stunned. They were truly worthy of being gods in the world. One by one, two by two, three by three, they all turned a deaf ear to the outside world and only focused on spending their days in leisure.
"Xu An is back?"
He raised his eyes and saw Xu An's slightly anxious and angry expression.
Qi Kai guessed that he had just returned and was not yet accustomed to the scene in Yangzhou City where people were praying every moment.
He opened an empty cup, added water to Xu An, and motioned him to sit down while saying:
"This isn't called leisure. This is called doing what you should do and not doing what you shouldn't do. Of course I'll do what I can, but can I agree to everything?"
Xu An was stunned when he heard this. His first reaction was that he felt that there was no way to save the poisoned people and that he had no way to save them, so he had given up.
Thinking of this, he could not help but retort:
"You gave up without even trying, sir?"
Hearing that Xu An still didn't understand what he meant, Qi Kai said helplessly:
"How do you know I haven't tried it? You're a beginner and haven't experienced these things yet, so it's normal for you to have cognitive biases. But if you just listen carefully and think about it, you'll know that there are some wishes we can't possibly grant."
As he spoke, Qi Kai pointed lightly outside. Inside the City God Temple, the sounds of prayers contained in the aroma of incense continued to come in.
"Please bless me, sir, so that I will be free from illness and disaster in the coming year, and that my family will be extremely wealthy. Please bless that tigress in my family to be killed as soon as possible so that I can escape from this sea of suffering..."
"Please bless me and give me a descendant of the Li family. My parents are old, and I want to fulfill their wish..."
"Lord City God, my private land has been occupied. Mr. Xie is so domineering. His evil slaves beat me badly. I beg you to send down thunder from the sky to kill him..."
"Lord City God, why do I always lose at gambling? You said my luck hasn't improved at all. What's the point of burning incense for you all day long?"
"Although I should pray to the Master and the God of Literature for success in the imperial examinations, I'm passing through here and would like to ask the City God to accept my incense and bless me to pass..."
Various sounds came in one after another.
Qi Kai looked at Xu An and said:
"Do I have to kill his tigress? Would that be fair to his original wife?"
"How can his Li family have descendants? I've seen him, and he doesn't even have a wife. How can I help him have children?"
"As for Tianlei, if that guy commits more evil, I can go to the God of Thunder and say a few words to him to get him to take action..."
Qi Kai evaluated them one by one in front of Xu An.
However, before he could finish his three sentences, Xu An interrupted him and said:
"Master Qi, you misunderstood. I was talking about a spy poisoning people in Yangzhou City. Now many people in the city have been poisoned and are unable to save themselves!"
"Is this happening?"
Qi Kai stood up suddenly and said:
"Is the situation serious?"
Xu An nodded and said:
"The poison is quite potent. In the worst-hit neighborhood, at least six or seven out of ten people have fallen ill. Poisoned people have also appeared in other neighborhoods. I've mobilized all the Yangzhou government officials and various minor deities I can..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Kai walked out with a depressed look on his face, muttering unhappily:
"Poisoning? You're crazy! If they're all poisoned to death, how can I absorb the incense energy?"
Xu An was stunned. After a brief pause, he was convinced in his heart that even if he did something just for the sake of the incense, it was better than doing nothing.
At this moment, he could not expect Qi Kai to be a saint, he could only hope that he could come up with some good ideas for the sake of incense.
After the two men came out of the City God Temple, they stood up together without hiding, and a strong divine light burst out from their bodies and soared into the sky.
With such a large-scale poisoning, it is impossible for any monk serving here to remain indifferent and sit idly by.
After checking on the conditions of several of the poisoned people, he strode towards the residence of Tiandu Zhengshen, the strongest Yang God stationed here on behalf of the Divine Court.
