Nangong Jiu laughed out loud.
"Of course I fell, and it was a terrible fall!
I dreamed that something delicious was snatched away, so I desperately chased it. As a result, I fell down and couldn't get up for a long time.
After falling a few times, I learned my lesson and fell less often."
Little Wang Xiaoxing covered his mouth and laughed.
"Don't laugh. There are many benefits to practicing in a tree. You can feel it yourself."
Xiao Wang laughed and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, when practicing on a tree, you need to rely on spiritual power to support your entire body. Over time, your spiritual power should increase dramatically."
Nangong Jiu nodded: "But it also consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and people get tired easily. If you can persist, your cultivation will indeed improve quickly."
Xiao Xing sighed: "Others only see the high level of your cultivation, but fail to see how much you have sacrificed for it."
Nangong Jiu looked back at the treetops.
The path of cultivation is lonely and difficult.
In the past, I devoted myself to cultivation. In order to improve my cultivation, I have explored and tried hundreds of methods.
By the way, next time my second brother comes down, I must tell him some good ideas. Maybe his cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds.
Hehe... In that case, he can tie with me.
By the way, let’s challenge the Demon Lord again and make him mad to death.
Nangong Jiu was immersed in his own world.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty…”
It took Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing calling out a few times to bring people back from their thoughts.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing. I saw you were lost in thought, so I called you."
"Since everything is fine, let's go to the front for lunch and continue practicing in the afternoon. This season is neither too cold nor too hot, which is a good time to practice.
Besides, my mother is going to give birth next month. By then, I might not be able to calm down and practice."
Little Wang Xiaoxing nodded in agreement.
After lunch, they sat back in their previous seats...
During this period, except for attending the banquet in the palace on the Queen Mother's birthday, he stayed in the back garden to practice.
When the leaves slowly turn yellow, fluttering and falling in the autumn wind, the treetops eventually become bare branches.
It was the end of September.
On this day, Nangong Jiu planned to change the place of practice to the creek, so he took Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing to choose the best location.
Sudden.
There was some movement in Nangong Jiu's pocket.
He quickly took out the unusual jade token and opened it, and a few words appeared on the token.
"Jiujun, a large-scale plague has broken out in most of the southern part of Beiyue, including the Imperial City. It's spreading rapidly and is likely heading towards Dongling.
Please come to Lingyin Temple as soon as possible to help save the people from the disaster."
Nangong Jiu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
If there is a large-scale plague, how many people will die?
Little Wang Xiaoxing, who was originally joking, saw that Nangong Jiu's face was not right and hurried forward: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
"Hurry back and pack up, and get ready to go to Lingyin Temple. Qingchen and the others are waiting for us!"
Nangong Jiu spoke as he walked, then changed from walking to running, and finally just flew.
Returning to the bedroom, he quickly took out the paper bird and said, "Grandfather, a large-scale plague has occurred in the southern part of Beiyue. It is spreading very quickly and is about to reach our Dongling.
I will leave for the border immediately, and you should make the necessary preparations."
"Little Wang Xiaoxing, hurry up and pack up, I'm going to find a parent!"
Nangong Jiu rushed all the way to the main courtyard's flower hall: "Daddy and Mommy, something happened..."
After Nangong Jiu finished explaining the matter briefly, Liu Hao assured her, "Don't worry, the palace's experienced doctors and midwives are waiting in the mansion. I will take good care of your mother.
If there is anything that cannot be resolved, I will inform you in time."
Nangong Jiu hugged Nangong Yunxue with tears in her eyes: "Mother, please take care of yourself. Jiuer is unfilial and left you at this time..."
"Go and do your own thing. Mother has so many relatives by her side. It's okay.
As for you, when you go to Beiyue, you must protect yourselves and don’t let us worry…”
Without taking the time to say goodbye to his family, Nangong Jiu hurried to Lingyin Temple with little Wang and Xiaoxing.
When we arrived, Taoist Master Qingchen and his disciples were already waiting in front of the main hall of Lingyin Temple.
"Jiu Jun!"
"Grandmaster!"
Nangong Jiu nodded: "What happened? Tell me in detail!"
Taoist Priest Qingchen simply said, “A few days ago, Huiyuan received a message from the disciples of Puhui Taoist Temple and left in a hurry.
Previously, he sent a message to Qingchen for help, and only then did Qingchen realize how serious the matter was.
Currently, the plague is rapidly spreading towards the border."
"So, everything is fine at the Dongling border right now, right?"
"Yes, it should be fine for now."
"Well, I'll say hello to my second uncle first!"
Nangong Jiu took out a paper bird and delivered a message to Nangong Yunzhan: "Second Uncle, you should still be at the border, right? A serious plague has broken out in the southern part of Beiyue..."
You need to take early precautions and resolutely prevent anyone from crossing from the North Moon direction. Also, the soldiers must take precautions to avoid infection."
The paper bird flew away, and Nangong Yunzhan quickly replied to the message.
"I've already made arrangements. Our soldiers will strictly guard the border and isolate the plague from the country. Some other related measures will also be implemented at the same time..."
Nangong Jiu then looked at Taoist Qingchen.
“Where did the plague begin?”
"It's said to have started in the capital of Beiyue!"
"Where is Huiyuan now?"
"He is in Yancheng now!"
"Let's go, let's go find Yancheng and Huiyuan first."
Yancheng.
Master Huiyuan was leading his disciples of Puhuiguan and local doctors to treat the people infected with the plague.
Zheng Daren, the official in charge of Yancheng, was furious: "The imperial court is busy and cannot be relied upon. What should we do now?
Watching the people fall one by one and the death toll increasing, what will happen if this continues?
Master Huiyuan, you are a great man of great enlightenment. Please think of a way to save the people."
Master Huiyuan nodded and said, "I am trying to find a way. If I can invite that person, the people may be saved."
"Who are you talking about? I'll send someone to invite him right away."
"She is Princess Dingguo of Dongling!"
"This... I've heard of Princess Dingguo. Regardless of whether she's willing to come, even if she is, the journey from here to Dongling is long, and it would be too late for her to arrive.
It seems that God wants to destroy Beiyue!"
Jiujun is a kind-hearted Bodhisattva, full of compassion for the world and humanity. How could he not want to come?!
I only regret that I didn't contact her earlier.
Taoist Master Huiyuan did not give much explanation and continued to busy himself with the work at hand, directing his disciples to boil medicine to treat the plague.
These decoctions were distributed to the people. After drinking the decoctions, the infected people's symptoms improved, but it seemed that they could not cure the disease completely.
More and more people were infected, and more and more people fell ill. The speed of boiling medicine could not keep up with the speed of people being infected.
The cries and sobs of those who have lost their loved ones can be heard from time to time in the city, and the streets are no longer as bustling as before...
Master Huiyuan looked towards the direction of Dongling.
"Jiu Jun, please come quickly. I'm afraid you are the only one who can resolve this disaster..."
