"Ding! The devotee felt extremely sorrowful in his heart, and his attribute points increased by 1!”
At this moment, as the patient knelt on the ground, a notification sounded in Chen Feng's mind again. However, Chen Feng did not have the slightest joy.
He had guessed correctly!
According to his memories, the plague of the plague was a disaster that could destroy cities and countries in ancient times!
Once the so-called plague broke out in any area, it would cause a large-scale infection. As for the plague policy, the Great Song had always sealed off the city-state and let the people inside fend for themselves.
However, the city-state was sealed and the sick were not allowed to leave.
However, the patient could only wait for death on the spot.
Therefore, almost all the areas where the plague had occurred were left uninhabited after a few years, and less than 10% of the people survived!
It was once recorded in the Tang Dynasty…
There were two plagues in the first generation of Lingnan, and the three thousand miles of Lingnan became a ghost town. There was not a single living person within ten miles.
Great Song was the same.
A plague ten years ago had caused countless deaths in the western part of the Central Plains.
However, who would have thought that another plague would break out in the Shaoshi Mountain area?
If that was the case, how many people could still survive?
"How did this happen? Then doesn't the Imperial Court have any countermeasures?" Hearing this, A'Zhu could not help but ask.
However, the patient smiled bitterly and shook his head."What else can we do? The imperial court's treasury is empty, and we commoners can't even eat our fill! All these years, the surrounding barbarians had been eyeing the Central Plains covetously. It was already good enough that the imperial court could protect itself!”
"Three days ago, the imperial court sent people down, but they sealed off all the villages and towns near Shaoshi Mountain and left us to fend for ourselves!”
"This…" Chen Feng was stunned when he heard this.
When he had transmigrated to this world, he had thought that he was not from this world at all, so he should not have any extra feelings for anyone.
However, after coming here for such a long time, he had interacted with the villagers at the foot of the mountain a few times. Their simple and honest character had affected him all the time.
Looking at the person in front of him, how could he still treat himself as an outsider?
This was a living world, not a tool for him to clear dungeons.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng shook his head and sighed."A'Zhu, you take care of this patient here. I'll go down the mountain to take a look before it gets dark. I'll be back soon…"
"Brother Chen, be careful on the road!”Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, A'Zhu did not stop him. Moreover, her tone became even closer to Chen Feng.
This was because in her heart, Chen Feng was a merciful person.
There was chaos at the foot of the mountain, and the Taoist Faction came out of the mountain!
This was originally what it should be.
As for Chen Feng.
He was indeed preparing to go down the mountain, and the reason was to see with his own eyes how far the plague had spread.
If it was within his ability, he might be able to save her.
Nothing else!
This was not because Chen Feng was meddling in other people's business, but because it was what a member of the Dao Sect should do. Moreover, if he wanted to revitalize Taoism, he could not be selfish.
With this in mind, Chen Feng left the Clear Wind Temple.
...
Time slowly passed.
After Ah Zhu finished taking care of the patient, she waited anxiously in the courtyard.
Chen Feng was indeed a martial arts expert, but his internal energy could not stop him from contracting the plague. Just as she was feeling extremely anxious, the mountain gate was finally pushed open.
"Big Brother Chen!"
Seeing Chen Feng enter, Ah Zhu quickly went up to him. However, when she saw Chen Feng's expression, she realized that something was wrong.
Chen Feng's expression was abnormally ashen as he frowned.
It seemed that the situation was not optimistic.
"What's wrong? Is the situation at the foot of the mountain not good?"
Hearing this, Chen Feng nodded. Then, he explained to Zhu.
As it turned out, Chen Feng was stunned by the situation at the foot of the mountain.
In just four to five days, with the first appearance of the plague, all the villages within ten miles of Shaoshi Mountain had been infected.
Eight out of ten villagers were infected.
More importantly, the Great Song had sent troops to seal off the cities and prevent the people from fleeing. As a result, the plague would only get worse at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain.
In just a few days, the people who died of illness at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain could be used to fill the city wall!
"How did this happen?"
Hearing this, A'Zhu's face was incomparably pale.
She understood the horror of the plague too well. In ancient times, once a plague broke out, it would basically destroy a city and a country.
That's right!
Just as he was thinking about this, A'Zhu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something."What about Shaolin Temple? As far as I know, the Shaolin Temple has medicinal fields, and most of the monks know the art of Huangqi. Didn't they go down the mountain to help the victims?”
"Haha…" A'Zhu's question was very important, but who knew that Chen Feng would laugh coldly when he heard this.
After listening to his explanation, A'Zhu finally understood!
It turned out that since the day the plague broke out, Shaoshi Mountain had already closed its doors and no longer welcomed visitors!
From the looks of it, there was no need to think to know the reason!
How was this not accepting visitors?
This was clearly a way to avoid the world and the plague!
Thinking of this, Chen Feng's heart was filled with hatred!
What the Taoist Faction said was indeed true. Once the chaotic world appeared, the Buddhist Faction indeed closed their doors!
"Then what should we do?"
Hearing this, A'Zhu had no other choice.
When he looked at Chen Feng again, a determined expression flashed across his face.
It was true that he was a fake Taoist priest who had just transmigrated, but at least he was a person with a sound mind. Moreover, his goal was to revitalize Clear Wind Temple and rule over all Dao Sects.
In that case, it was necessary to fight the plague and save the victims.
