Chapter 252: Changes in Liang State, Plague Disaster

Both of them looked a little serious.

When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan saw them like this, they knew that something must have happened during the time they were away.

So Jiang Chengxuan asked directly: "Renyi, Linglong, did anything happen?"

Jiang Renyi and Liu Linglong looked at each other.

Then Jiang Renyi nodded and said: "Reporting to Uncle, during this period, some problems have indeed occurred in our Liang country."

"Well, what exactly happened? Please tell me in detail."

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan's faces couldn't help but be a little serious.

They knew that if the matter was not serious, Jiang Renyi and Liu Linglong would never act like that.

At this time, Jiang Renyi said: "Not long after you left Liang country that day, a plague appeared in Sangming County of our Liang country."

"Plague?"

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan frowned.

"Yes." Jiang Renyi nodded and said, "This plague is very overbearing. Once a mortal is infected, it will take half a day or three days for the whole body to fester and die.

At first, this plague was only effective against mortals, but it didn't take long for even the cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining to be infected.

Later, even cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining and even the early stage of Foundation Building could hardly resist the invasion of this plague."

"What did you say?"

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were both shocked.

Just now, when Jiang Renyi said that there was a plague, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan didn't think anything.

After all, the world they are in now is not an ordinary ancient world, but a world of immortal cultivation with immortal cultivation heritage.

In the hands of immortal cultivators, the so-called plague is not something that can be solved at will?

However, after hearing this, the two of them no longer dared to despise this matter in their hearts.

Even the plague that can infect foundation building cultivators, is it still an ordinary plague?

The answer is absolutely no.

And from what Jiang Renyi just described, the plague progressed very quickly.

From being effective only for mortals, to being effective for cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining, and finally threatening cultivators in the late stages of Qi Refining and the early stages of Foundation Building, this process did not last too long.

If this continues, it is hard to say whether it will affect cultivators in the middle and late stages of Foundation Building.

"What is the specific situation now?"

Jiang Chengxuan couldn't help but speak in a deep voice.

"If I remember correctly, there are two major purple mansion forces in Sangming County, Huanshui Sect and Li Family?

Don't they have any good solutions to this?"

Then Jiang Renyi and Liu Linglong both shook their heads.

Liu Linglong said, "It is said that the Purple Mansion cultivators of Huanshui Sect and Li's family have tried all possible methods, but they are still helpless against the plague.

Even the cultivators of Bishui Sword Pavilion are mostly good at fighting, and are not proficient in spiritual medicine.

At present, no effective method has been found to eliminate the plague, and they can only temporarily use the formation to block the entire Sangming County.

But just yesterday, it is said that infected mortals appeared in Lanfeng County, which is closest to Sangming County.

Now, we can only hope that Tianyue Sect can have cultivators who are proficient in spiritual medicine."

The spiritual medicine lineage mentioned by Liu Linglong here belongs to one of the hundred arts of cultivating immortals.

However, because the profession of alchemist has some similarities with the spiritual medicine lineage.

And both the income and status are higher than those of spiritual doctors, so most people with both talents will only choose the profession of alchemist, not the profession of spiritual doctor.

In addition, the difficulty of taking the path of spiritual medicine is no less than that of becoming an alchemist.

This also leads to the fact that there are very few cultivators who study spiritual medicine.

Even fewer people are proficient in it.

At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan both realized that if this matter is not handled properly, it may lead to a national disaster.

By then, countless mortals and cultivators below the Purple Mansion level will probably die in large numbers.

Once such a thing really happens, it will inevitably shake the foundation of the entire Liang Kingdom's cultivation world.

At that time, even the Jindan-level forces such as their Jiang family, Bishui Sword Pavilion, and Tianyue Sect will not be spared at all, and there will even be a crisis of extinction.

Because no matter whether it is a family or a sect, mortals and low-level cultivators are always the most important basic base.

Without this basic base, it is equivalent to cutting off fresh blood, and it is naturally not far from extinction.

So.

Although this matter has not yet endangered their Qi'an County and their Jiang family, their Jiang family must take action in advance.

Fortunately, Jiang Renyi and Liu Linglong did not disappoint them.

Before this, they had already monitored all the cultivators entering and leaving Qi'an County.

Especially the cultivators coming from Sangming County and Lanfeng County, they were strictly prohibited from entering.

The person in charge of this matter was Jiang Rendao, who had the cultivation of the middle stage of the Purple Mansion.

And some other Purple Mansion cultivators in Qi'an County.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately said to Jiang Renyi and Liu Linglong:

"Renyi, Linglong, you are doing very well now, continue to maintain high-intensity monitoring.

I plan to go to the Bishui Sword Pavilion in person to understand the specific facts."

At this point, Jiang Chengxuan turned to Shen Ruyan and said:

"Madam, you will stay in the family this time to take charge of the overall situation in case of any accidents.

I suspect that this matter may not be as simple as it seems. "

"Huh? Husband, what do you mean...?"

Shen Ruyan seemed to have thought of something at this time, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but condense slightly.

"good."

Jiang Chengxuan nodded solemnly.

“Looking at the intensity of this plague and its development trend, it is very likely that it is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster.

But we still lack specific information, and I won’t know what it is until I go to the Bishui Sword Pavilion. "

that's all.

Shen Ruyan was responsible for staying at Taixuan Mountain to prepare for possible emergencies.

Jiang Chengxuan, on the other hand, controlled the escape light alone and flew quickly towards the direction of the Bishui Sword Pavilion.

With his current level of cultivation in the Golden Core realm, it took almost only half a day to reach the mountain gate of the Bishui Sword Pavilion.

Send a message into the Bishui Sword Pavilion.

After a while, two figures appeared in front of Jiang Chengxuan.

They are all acquaintances of Jiang Chengxuan.

Hou Dongbai and Hua Mengyou.

Seeing Jiang Chengxuan, Hou Dongbai immediately congratulated:

"It turned out to be Daoist Jiang in person.

I haven't seen him for a while, but I didn't expect that fellow Daoist Jiang had successfully condensed the golden elixir.

I think your wife Shen Daoyou must have condensed the golden elixir just like you, right?

It's really gratifying. "

Jiang Chengxuan did not hide anything about his and Shen Ruyan's cultivation. Hearing this, he immediately greeted Hou Dongbai politely.

On the other hand, Hua Mengyou next to him felt a little complicated after seeing Jiang Chengxuan, but she still stepped forward to greet him and said:

"Meng You has met Senior Jiang. Congratulations to Senior Jiang for successfully forming the elixir. You can expect a bright future."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately waved his hand to Hua Menyou and said:

"Fellow Taoist Hua, don't say that. You and I have always been very good friends. From now on, we should continue to refer to each other as Taoist friends."

When Jiang Chengxuan said this, his tone was very sincere.

This made Hua Mengyou feel warm for no reason, and she immediately nodded and said:

"If that's the case, then I won't be polite to you, fellow Daoist Jiang."

Hou Dongbai on the side also admired Jiang Chengxuan's performance.

Although in the world of cultivating immortals, it is said that those who have achieved success come first, many monks will put themselves in the position of a senior when facing their colleagues and friends in the past after breaking through to a great realm.

Everyone has long been accustomed to such a situation, and even thinks it is very normal, and this is how it should be.

But neither Jiang Chengxuan nor Shen Ruyan is that kind of person.

At this moment, the two sides chatted briefly for a while.

Hou Dongbai and Hua Mengyou led Jiang Chengxuan to the reception hall of Bishui Sword Pavilion.

After both parties sat down, Jiang Chengxuan explained the purpose of his visit.

That is about this plague.

This made Hou Dongbai and Hua Mengyou's expressions suddenly look solemn.

Hou Dongbai said: "To be honest, this plague has caused extremely serious losses to the entire Sangming County.

The current death toll of mortals in Sangming County has reached more than six million.

Even the Qi Refining monks had more than 3,000 deaths.

In the early stages of foundation building, there were more than ten people.

Moreover, according to the Taoist friends of Tianyue Sect, in order to truly solve this plague, a spiritual doctor who has reached the fourth level must take action.

Otherwise, it can only be temporarily suppressed at best, and there is no way to truly eradicate it. "

The fellow Taoist Wen mentioned by Hou Dongbai here is none other than the Ice Fairy of Tianyue Sect, Wen Shujun.

This woman is also the only monk in their Liang Kingdom who is also a spiritual doctor.

However, her attainments in the lineage of spiritual doctors are only at the third level, and she cannot completely eradicate this plague.

"A fourth-level spiritual doctor?"

Jiang Chengxuan couldn't help but frown at this time.

As far as he knew, there seemed to be no fourth-level spiritual doctors in the Yun Kingdom.

He didn't know what was going on in Yan State.

But if there were, I'm afraid Hou Dongbai and the others would have invited them here by now.

Since there is no such thing, then there is a high probability that there are no fourth-level spiritual doctors in Yan State.

As for Zheng and Shu.

At this time, the relations between the two countries and the three of them were already very tense.

Both sides have even withdrawn all monks and properties within their territory.

It is conceivable that once the ten-year rest period is over, a war will inevitably break out between the Three Kingdoms and the Kingdom of Zheng and Shu.

Under such circumstances, even if there were fourth-level spiritual doctors in the two countries, they probably would not come to their Liang country to help.

In fact, they now wished that more people from Liang State would die.

It would be even better if all the mortals and low-level monks in the Liang Kingdom could be killed.

so.

They wanted to seek help from a fourth-level spiritual doctor, but after all calculations, they might just have to go to Yuzhou, which is relatively far away.

As a large state in northern Xinjiang, Yuzhou has a total of three Nascent Soul-level forces in it.

They are the Hidden Sword Palace, the Cao Family of the Yuanying Immortal Clan, and the Ming Zhen Sect.

The power of Jindan and Zifu under their banner is far greater than that of the five Cangnan countries combined.

In this case, even though the number of fourth-level spiritual doctors may not be too many, they can definitely be found.

The only problem is that Yuzhou is far away from their Cangnan Five Kingdoms.

Even with their cultivation in the Golden Core realm, it would probably take more than half a year to go back and forth.

It's hard to say how things will eventually develop over the course of more than half a year.

Moreover, if you want to invite a fourth-level spiritual doctor to come all the way to their Liang country, the price you have to pay must not be small.

"Is there no other way?"

Jiang Chengxuan couldn't help but ask again.

This time Hou Dongbai nodded.

"Yes, there is, but compared to finding a fourth-level spiritual doctor, this method may be more difficult."

"What is the solution? Pavilion Master Hou might as well come and have a listen."

Jiang Chengxuan continued to ask.

Then I heard Hou Dongbai say: "That is to find a treasure that can restrain the plague.

It is said that the Cao family in Yuzhou has a treasure called the Tianhe Pearl, which can restrain all poisonous mist and plague below the fifth level. Even the poisonous mist above the fifth level has a considerable suppressive effect.

But you also know how difficult it is to get such a treasure. "

"I see."

Jiang Chengxuan nodded clearly.

At this time, he was basically certain that the plague that broke out in Sangming County should be caused by man-made disasters.

I just don’t know where this poisonous snake hiding in the dark is currently.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chengxuan asked Hou Dongbai this question again.

After hearing this, Hou Dongbai also had a look of sadness on his face.

Just listen to his cold tone: "Friend Jiang, you are right, this incident is indeed very likely to be man-made.

We even have reason to suspect that this matter is inseparable from the Dingyuan Hou Mansion. "

"Dingyuan Hou Mansion?"

This time Jiang Chengxuan was really surprised.

It was really hard for him to imagine how the Dingyuan Hou Mansion in Zheng State could be able to do such a thing?

As if reading Jiang Chengxuan's thoughts, Hou Dongbai suddenly asked:

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, I wonder if you have ever heard of the plague demon before?"

"Plague Demon?"

Jiang Chengxuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"I have never heard of this. I only know that among their demon cultivators, there are hidden demons and phantom demons.

But this is really the first time I’ve heard of the plague demon you mentioned. "

Hou Dongbai nodded.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang has always stayed in the Yun Kingdom, so it's no wonder he hasn't heard of this demon."

Then, Hou Dongbai carefully explained the situation of this demon to Jiang Chengxuan.

It turns out that the largest area of ​​activity of this demon in the past was in their country of Liang and the generation of the country of Yan.

Three hundred years ago.

A golden elixir monk from the Yan Kingdom happened to encounter this demon, and a war broke out with him.

In that battle, the demon was severely wounded by the Golden Elixir monk from the Yan Kingdom, and then disappeared. It was not until more than a hundred years ago that traces of this demon were occasionally heard.

Now, although the other party still hasn't shown up.

But judging from the current situation in Sangming County and Lanfeng County, the only person who can cause the plague to be so powerful is the legendary plague demon.

"Do you know what this demon's real name is?"

At this time, Hou Dongbai looked at Jiang Chengxuan again and asked.

Only this time, Hou Dongbai did not wait for Jiang Chengxuan to answer, he answered on his own:

"This demon's name is Shangguan Quanhong, and he is a tribesman who was expelled from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion hundreds of years ago.

As for the reason, I think you can guess it even if I don’t say it now.

Yes, it was precisely because this person secretly practiced magic skills. "
