When Yang Yu arrived outside Luoyang City, Li Shizhen had already gathered nearly a thousand refugees. Some of the bailiffs were guarding the city gate as if they were facing a great enemy. Fortunately, the rebels outside the city had Li Shizhen's help, so their emotions were stable. That was why the bailiff at the city gate did not close the city gate. Instead, he watched the scene vigilantly and did not dare to approach.
Ignoring the bailiffs at the city gate, Yang Yu directly left the city and went to Li Shizhen's side. At this moment, Liu Er, who was at the city gate, also brought a group of people to the city gate. The person in the lead was discussing something with the bailiffs.
Yang Yu did not expect those people to come for him. He went to Li Shizhen's side and asked about the situation.
"Doctor Li, do you have a count of how many people here have been infected by the corpse poison?”
Li Shizhen saw that it was Yang Yu and answered him.
"There are more than 500. Do you still have the medicine? I still need at least three times the amount of the previous bottle to cure all of these people.”
Yang Yu looked at the refugees around him and nodded. He waved his hand and threw out a large vat. The vat was filled with medicinal liquid. The amount was enough to feed 5,000 people, let alone 500.
"Physician Li, this is all the medicinal liquid. It's enough to treat 5,000 people. This Penniless Priest is going to get rid of the source of this corpse poison. As for the matter of treating the sick and saving people, I'll have to trouble Doctor Li.”
Li Shizhen also knew Yang Yu's plan when he heard this. There would be a zombie disaster if there was zombie poison. It was the duty of the Taoist Faction to kill demons and exterminate evil. Li Shizhen could not refuse.
At this time, Li Shizhen reached out and handed the glass bottle that Yang Yu had used to contain the medicine back to Yang Yu.
"Daoist Priest, this item is precious and priceless. Take care, Taoist priest. If you can't win, don't show your strength. Life is the first priority. As long as he could get the specific information, he would report it to the court. When the time came, there would naturally be someone from Mount Longhu to deal with it.”
Yang Yu nodded but didn't take it seriously. After asking the refugees where the Corpse Calamity had happened, he prepared to leave. However, when Li Shizhen returned the glass bottle to Yang Yu, the eyes of the bailiffs and idlers at the city gate lit up.
Just as Yang Yu turned to leave, he saw two bailiffs walking towards him. When he saw the bottle in Yang Yu's hand, he directly said to Yang Yu.
"Taoist Wuna, stop right there. Stealing Minister Wang's Pure Treasure Bottle in broad daylight, and you still want to run? Hurry up and arrest him. Follow us to the yamen.”
Yang Yu glanced at the two bailiffs and then at the group of people at the city gate. He immediately knew what they were up to. They had taken a fancy to the bottle in his hand and wanted to use the dirty method to snatch it.
Yang Yu didn't care about what these people were thinking. He activated his qinggong and turned to leave. The two bailiffs pretended to chase after him for a few steps before stopping. After all, he was just an ordinary bailiff and did not have much effort. Naturally, he could not keep up with Yang Yu.
When the people at the city gate saw Yang Yu run away, they immediately became anxious and chased after him like a swarm of bees. Yang Yu didn't care about the pursuers behind him. He used his lightness skill and quickly headed towards the origin of the Corpse Calamity, Mount Jinping.
……
Mount Jinping was located west of Luoyang City. Outside Yiyang Town, there was a mountain that surrounded Yiyang like a screen. According to what Yang Yu learned from the little beggar, the Corpse Calamity this time originated at the foot of Mount Jinping, west of Yiyang. Therefore, Yang Yu headed straight for Yiyang after leaving Luoyang. The people behind Yang Yu also arrived at Yiyang.
If he wanted to go to Jinping Mountain, he would have to pass through Yiyang Town. When Yang Yu arrived outside Yiyang Town, he saw that there were still people escaping from the town. White sails were hung from every house in the town. It was obvious that a family member had died.
Yang Yu didn't care about the escapees and rushed straight to the biggest house in the town. However, the house was empty at this time. It was obvious that the owner was either dead or had fled. Yang Yu asked around and found out that a constable surnamed Chen was in charge of this town. Then, he rushed towards the constable's residence.
When Yang Yu found the constable, he saw him burning the corpse with a miserable expression. Beside him were several monks and three Taoist priests performing rituals.
Constable Chen frowned when he saw Yang Yu's gorgeous golden robe with four Taiji diagrams printed on it. This was the first time he had seen someone dressed so extravagantly. Compared to the few Taoist priests beside him, Yang Yu clearly looked too flashy.
In this land of great mourning, Yang Yu was dressed in such flashy and gorgeous clothes, which made people not have a good impression. However, he couldn't care less about Yang Yu. Seeing Yang Yu coming towards him, he still dutifully asked Yang Yu.
"Taoist priest, what's the matter? Forgive me for being too busy to receive you. Yiyang Town is currently plagued by a plague. Please leave as soon as possible.”
Yang Yu shook his head and said to the constable.
"I am Qingwei. Greetings, Constable Chen. I am here for the funeral. This was not a plague, but a zombie plague. I've brought the medicine to cure the Corpse Calamity. Please distribute it as soon as possible, Arrester Chen.”
When Arrester Chen heard Yang Yu say that it was a Corpse Calamity, he almost dropped the knife in his hand. The monks and Daoists who were performing their rituals were so frightened that they stopped what they were doing. Constable Chen asked Yang Yu with a trembling voice.
"Daoist…Daoist Priest, is…is it really a Corpse Calamity? Don't lie to me. This is no joke.”
Yang Yu understood Arrester Chen's fear. After all, in this era, zombies were almost invincible in the eyes of ordinary people. Other than the Taoist masters and martial arts masters above the Inborn Realm, almost no one had a way to destroy zombies.
More importantly, the zombie's body was as hard as iron, and its entire body was filled with poison. Once it was born, it would definitely pollute the entire area. It would also absorb human blood to evolve, and in the end, it would be even more difficult to eliminate. Now that Spirit Severing had passed for more than two hundred years, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had dissipated, and the number of zombies appearing in the various regions of the Great Ming was extremely low.
As a result, most people thought that zombies were just a rumor, and most people only heard about the Corpse Calamity, but they didn't see the truth. Now that Yang Yu said it was a Corpse Calamity the moment he came, these people could not help but be shocked.
Before Yang Yu could confirm it, a berating voice came from the side of the street. A strong voice refuted Yang Yu's words.
"Heresy. There was no Corpse Calamity. This was just a poison cast by the Demon Cult. As everyone knew, after slaying the dragon, the spiritual energy would dissipate. Now, the gods and ghosts in the world were secluded, and the Dao techniques were not obvious. How could there be a corpse disaster?”
Constable Chen was shocked when he saw the people who had come. He then ignored Yang Yu and hurriedly paid his respects to them.
"I am the constable of Yiyang Town. Greetings, Sect Leader Zuo, Yue Changmen, Sect Leader Mo, Sect Leader Yu, and Nun Dingyi.”
Yang Yu looked at the group of people and saw that they were from the Five Mountain Sword Sect, led by Left and Right Leng Chan. Zuo Lengchan had just told the Five Mountains Sword Sect that it was the work of the Devil Cult. However, when he turned around, he heard Yang Yu calling it a Corpse Calamity to Arrester Chen.
