Before the people from Mingyue Island could walk over, the people swarmed over and surrounded them, saying in unison:

"Excuse me, is it a living god?"

"The living god has come to save us!"

"We are saved!"

…..

After receiving a positive response, the people knelt down in unison and kowtowed hard to the people from Mingyue Island.

Xie Ling and his group were scared half to death, but after much persuasion, they were finally persuaded.

"Don't worry, we are here, no one will die!"

A young disciple bent down and helped up an old lady in her sixties, and shouted loudly to the people.

The people all had red eyes and kept wiping their tears.

"The living immortal is indeed a living immortal!"

"I thought I was going to die here..."

"It seems that I, Zhu Laoliu, am lucky. I didn't meet a goddess, but I met a living immortal."

……..

It turned out that the people who stayed in the dilapidated temple were all very poor and could not afford a single penny.

Those who had a little money had already rented carriages and boats to go to Kyoto to seek medical treatment from the goddess.

The common people who came to see the disciples of Mingyue Island were not seriously ill and were able to walk and move.

Those who were seriously ill could only lie on the wooden boards of the dilapidated temple, with high fever and unconsciousness, making faint cries in their throats, and their eyes were full of despair.

The disciples felt so distressed when seeing this, they quickly boiled the medicine, lit the fire, and distributed the medicine to the people one by one.

Each person was also given a mask to prevent cross infection.

For the people who were lying in bed unable to move, the disciples personally fed them.

This moved the people to tears.

I wanted to roll off the bed and kowtow to them.

They had nothing but kowtow.

This is the greatest respect they can give to a person.

In the evening, the prefect of Cangzhou received the news and hurried over.

The living immortal from Mingyue Island came to Dongling Kingdom, and the first city he came to was Cangzhou!

He was quite proud and hurried to the dilapidated temple without even having dinner.

But the prefect was afraid of being infected with the plague, so he only dared to observe secretly outside the woods and did not dare to approach the ruined temple.

Seeing that the people of Mingyue Island were no longer busy, he sent soldiers to invite the disciples over.

"I have met all the living gods of Mingyue Island."

The prefect of Cangzhou was wearing a scarlet official uniform and a long-winged hat, looking very majestic.

But he bent his back in front of everyone on Mingyue Island, without any airs, and looked very respectful.

Xie Ling quickly helped him up, "Please stand up, sir. We are just a bunch of laymen, and we are not worthy of your great courtesy."

The prefect saw that the leader of this group of disciples was a young woman, and he was not surprised at all. He smiled and said, "Mingyue Island is known as a fairy, saving the dying and the wounded, and practicing medicine to help the world. You are worthy of this gift."

Xie Ling knew that Mingyue Island had a great influence among the people, but she didn't expect it to be so great.

It can make a fourth-rank official of a country be so respectful.

Not to mention that the common people really treated them as "gods".

The prefect continued, "My Lords, it is getting late now, how about I prepare an inn for you?"

Xie Ling did not refuse, "Thank you very much."

The prefect was very excited and ordered his men to make drastic preparations. He still followed the people from Mingyue Island and introduced them to the customs and culture of Cangzhou.

Xie Ling interrupted and asked, "I wonder if there are other people in Cangzhou suffering from the plague?"

The prefect stroked his beard and frowned, "I have placed all the people suffering from the plague in a dilapidated temple in the suburbs, isolated from the people in the city, but I am afraid that some of the sick people dare not report to the government..."

Xie Ling nodded, "I understand. Please inform the people in the city tomorrow. We will provide treatment at the gate of the county government."

The prefect's eyes lit up, "Thank you again and again."

The dilapidated temple was not far from the city. When Xie Ling and his companions arrived in the city, the Tongzhi of Cangzhou had just arranged the inn.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a little scared. "I accidentally let out the news that the immortal was staying at Mingyue Island, and those inns almost had a fight! I guess the people will know tonight that the immortal has come to Cangzhou."

The prefect nodded.

"You make arrangements and don't let the people around disturb the gods' rest."

"promise."

When we arrived at the inn, the owner was already waiting at the door.

He wore a brand new royal blue gown and had his hair tied up with a jade hairpin. He even had his hair combed by his wife, who washed his face, cleansed his hands, and burned some incense. He stared at the alley in front of the inn with his eyes sharp.

It wasn't until he saw the group of people in white that his eyes widened and he ran over in a hurry, almost falling down.

"I have met all the gods!"

The disciples have now become numb to seeing such scenes.

Along the way, countless people hid in the dark, watched them, and kowtowed to them from afar.

Some of them held incense and knelt down to worship them.

After a round of greetings, the disciples finally moved into their rooms and got some rest.

Tired after a whole day.

The shopkeeper was very considerate. After a while, he brought various foods, all hot, including both meat and vegetarian dishes.

After the disciples finished eating, hot water was brought.

After Xie Ling finished her shower, she leaned against the window and thought about something.

Who is that person pretending to be her?

Why impersonate her, for fame?

If it could really cure the people, she wouldn't mind.

The main concern is that the person is a fraud who only has the title of goddess but no real talent and cannot govern the people...

Xie Ling made the decision.

After the people of Cangzhou have been treated tomorrow, we will head to the capital of Dongling to find out the origins of this fake goddess.

Meet Xu Haitang by the way.

After being the eldest daughter for three years, it is time for her to return this identity.

The prefect acted quickly and the message was spread very quickly.

Early the next morning, the gate of the county government office was surrounded by people, and all you could see were heads.

It seems that it is just as he said, many people have contracted the plague but have not reported it to the authorities.

Because once reported to the government, they would be driven to a dilapidated temple outside the city and would not be able to work.

Times are tough, and if one person in the family gets sick, there will be one less labor force.

Xie Ling and others worked for a whole day to distribute all the medicines.

The group could only stay in Cangzhou for another day and planned to go to Kyoto early the next morning.

Kyoto had the most people suffering from the plague, so it would be easier for them to distribute medicine there.

Although everyone left early in the morning, they were still seen by many people.

Those people who received the plague medicine knelt on the spot and watched the people from Mingyue Island leave from afar. They did not stand up until they could no longer be seen.
