The Quanzhen Taoist priest just shook his head but didn't say anything, which made Liu Tong and his son nervous.

"Master, is there any way? My son is still so young. If anything happens to him, what should I, an old man, do?" Old Liu sat on the ground with his head in his hands, feeling very sad.

The eldest son Liu Tong was at a loss, not knowing whether to help his grief-stricken father up first, or to kneel down and beg the Taoist priest for help.

"I have seen such a strange pulse in an old man many years ago," the Quanzhen Taoist priest stroked his beard and used his other arm to hold his dustpan.

"Has he had any other problems these days?" Quanzhen felt it was better to ask more clearly.

Liu Tong recalled the past few days, "A few days ago, my brother started to feel sick with a cold. He couldn't eat and had headaches at night. I thought it was just a cold, so I took a few doses of medicine, but it didn't get better."

All right!

Quanzhen recalled that many years ago, he and his master went down the mountain to travel, and they met a man who went crazy in broad daylight. Nine out of ten Taoists are doctors, and he has been learning medicine from his master since he was a child.

After his master took his pulse, he also went over to try taking the pulse. He still remembers the pulse condition to this day.

Seeing the same pulse condition again, Quanzhen boldly guessed that these two people might have the same disease.

only……

"The old man's children told us that he was bitten by a mad dog seven or eight days ago. The dog died a few days later, and then the old man fell ill." Quanzhen recalled and told the past events.

He squatted down and saw the place where Doctor Zhang had lifted up his trouser leg. The horrific wound was not much different from the old man's.

Now I am even more convinced that these two people may have the same problem.

"The old man looked like a mad dog, so the family thought the dead dog had possessed him, so they asked my master and I to exorcise the evil spirit."

After hearing what the Quanzhen Taoist priest said, passersby who were watching the excitement echoed: "Master, does that old man look similar to Liu Neng? But I haven't heard that the Liu family has a dog? How did this dog find him?"

"Could it be because the bite left a scent?"

"I'm afraid so. A dog's nose is the most sensitive."

"Why did the dog bite him out of nowhere? Could it be that Liu Neng walked up and kicked the dog?"

"I'm afraid so. Otherwise, how could this dog bite him when everyone was walking on the road?"

Passers-by talked a lot.

The Quanzhen Taoist priest continued, "When my master and I arrived at the old man's home, we didn't find any signs of him being possessed by an evil spirit. We thought he was ill. At first, we thought it was epilepsy, but later we discovered that wasn't the case."

"In this case, please save my life, Taoist priest!" Old Liu kowtowed to the Quanzhen Taoist priest in grief, just to give his youngest son a chance of survival.

Everyone saw the Quanzhen Taoist priest shaking his head, "It's not that I don't want to save him, but I don't know how to save him."

Back then, his master tried his best and prescribed many prescriptions, but he was unable to save that person, simply because...

"Since there is a precedent, why don't you know it?" Liu Tong was anxious, and his tone became a little heavier because of his concern.

The Quanzhen Taoist priest did not blame him. "My master and I were unable to save that old man back then. This is the second time I've seen such a strange disease. I really don't know where to start."

The old man's strange illness could not be cured, so the family blamed him and almost ruined his master's reputation.

Now that the Taoist temple has finally gained prestige in the local area, it cannot be destroyed in his hands.

Forget it, he could only tell the truth.

Shen Yu didn't expect that it was just as Xu Zhao said. Is this disease really incurable?

"What's wrong with Liu Neng? Even the Taoist priest can't cure this disease?" The passerby standing next to Shen Yu said to the person next to him.

"I'm afraid this is Liu Neng's fate. There are so many strange diseases in the world. I'm afraid even if Hua Tuo were alive, he might not be able to cure them all." Passersby sighed.

"Zhao Zhao, what do you think?" Shen Yu knew that this disease was probably only Xu Zhao who could explain it to everyone. As for treatment, it was probably just as she said, there was no cure.

"Let's go forward and take a look." If it is really confirmed that Liu Neng has rabies, then the follow-up will be troublesome.

Shen Yu led Xu Zhao to Liu Neng's side.

The Quanzhen Taoist priest had come into contact with Shen Yu before, so he naturally recognized him. He bowed and saluted, "I, the Quanzhen Taoist, greet His Majesty."

Originally only a small number of people knew that Shen Yu had arrived, but now everyone knew and knelt down to pay their respects.

Shen Yu had come out to accompany Xu Zhaocai shopping. If it weren't for the current situation, he didn't want to attract too much attention. "No need to be polite, there's no prince here today, so just proceed as usual."

The people around stood up one after another. Every time the prince entered the city, he seldom disturbed them. He was also very tolerant towards the people and did not stick to these empty formalities.

Etiquette cannot be abolished. Even if the prince is very merciful, they still have to perform the ceremony.

"Does the prince have any opinion on this disease?"

Quanzhen was surprised that this prince, who had been staying in the military camp all year round, happened to come to the city today and encounter such troublesome things.

"Master, is it true that the Taoist priest cannot cure this disease?" Shen Yu still did not give up hope. Even if this was just an ordinary citizen, it was still a life. If it could be saved, he naturally hoped to save it.

Quanzhen's breathing tightened. Could it be that the prince was testing his abilities again?

But even so, Quan Zhen could only shake his head helplessly, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I am incompetent."

"There are so many strange diseases in the world, what crime has the Taoist priest committed?"

In this case, Shen Yu had no choice but to listen to what Xu Zhao said.

"Zhao Zhao, come here."

"Your Majesty, if this disease is really as I think, I only hope that Liu Neng will be the last patient in this matter."

The transmission route of rabies is different from that of the common cold. Most people are infected by being bitten or scratched by a cat or dog infected with rabies.

"what for?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Let me verify it first."

Xu Zhao never calls Shen Yu by her name when he is outside.

She said to Doctor Zhang, "Please go get me a bowl of water."

water?

Could it be...

The Quanzhen Taoist priest immediately bowed and said, "Please give me some advice, young lady!" He asked humbly.

While Doctor Zhang was fetching water, it would be better to educate the people instead of just waiting. "We have confirmed that Liu Neng was bitten on the leg by a mad dog. I'm afraid that dog is the source of the disease."

It was difficult to explain what a virus was to a group of people who had no modern knowledge, so Xu Zhao could only explain it to them in a simple way.

"There's something invisible to the naked eye in this dog's body. If you don't understand, you can imagine it as a poison that enters the human body through bites or scratches."

"Girl, does that mean that as long as we are not bitten or scratched by dogs, we will not be poisoned?" Someone in the crowd suddenly asked.

"That's right! Of course, not every dog ​​has this poison in their body, but everyone should pay special attention to dogs that suddenly go crazy. Generally, these dogs will not survive for more than seven days."
