As the days passed, the cold wave in Qingyang City not only did not subside, but became more and more serious. Ordinary people who were unaware of the situation thought that a plague was coming, and they prepared to flee Qingyang City with their families.
The wealthy, with their vast wealth and deep roots in Qingyang City, couldn't easily relocate. Even if they succeeded, they would undoubtedly suffer severe damage, potentially taking years to recover. Under these circumstances, the wealthy, despite their fears, were forced to remain within Qingyang City, relying on their own stockpiles of medicinal herbs.
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. This is true.
With Qin Yuesheng's disinfection methods, the sanitary conditions in the Qin Mansion were improved, but the servants and maids who had caught a cold showed no signs of recovery. Instead, their illness became worse and worse, and they gradually developed fever, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, and general weakness.
This made Qin Yuesheng give up on using the medical methods he knew to fight the cold, because it was very likely that the cold that was spreading throughout the city was not a natural phenomenon, but was caused by the ghosts in secret.
I learned from Taoist Master Huang Ting that the ghost clan was just a general term used by Taoist Master Huang Lin to refer to that kind of existence. Not all ghosts are the same. They are born with various innate abilities.
Just like the ghosts that Qin Yuesheng had killed in Hanshan Temple before, the ones that spit poison, the ones that can fly, and the ones that can use sonic waves.
No one can say for sure whether there are ghosts with the ability to bring about a large-scale cold that cannot be cured.
If this is the case, then the only way to resolve the crisis in Qingyang City is to kill the ghost.
"Where on earth are these guys hiding in Qingyang City?" Qin Yuesheng walked to the door, took out the Fox Heart Eyes and placed them in front of his eyes, looking at the sky of Qingyang City.
There was nothing. This was something that puzzled Qin Yuesheng. In the past, whenever there was any evil spirit, it would turn into a black gas rising into the sky in the fox spirit's eyes. But so far, Qin Yuesheng had used the fox spirit's eyes to search the entire Qingyang City and found nothing. Those sneaky monsters that were exposed had already been eradicated by the officials of the Seven Stars Supervisor.
Qingyang City now appears to be at its most normal state on the surface.
But in the eyes of those in the know, this seems even more dangerous.
Because the ghosts who can conceal their hostility and make it unnoticeable are far more to be feared than the ghosts who will expose it.
…
night.
Qingyang City, top floor of Tianxian Pavilion.
Ouyang Haochen, the boss of Tianxian Pavilion, stood by the window with his hands behind his back, gazing at the night sky.
A young girl walked up behind Ouyang Haochen and whispered, "Sir, the Five Plagues and Five Disasters can't wait any longer."
"The whereabouts of the seal has not been found yet. What's the point of them waiting so long? They even dare to massacre the city and dig three feet into the ground." Ouyang Haochen said lightly.
"It seems the Five Plagues are planning to increase the spread of the disease, create a city-wide plague, and drive out all the residents of Qingyang City."
"Nonsense." Ouyang Haochen shouted coldly.
"If this attracts the attention of human experts, let alone unlocking the seal and rescuing the Great Ghost Lord, I'm afraid our lives will be in danger."
Swish!
A moth suddenly flew in from the window. A red light flashed in Ouyang Haochen's mouth, and the moth was immediately sucked into his mouth.
Chew chew chew.
Ouyang Haochen spit out a pair of wings, and a red tongue as long as an adult's arm swung in the air from his mouth.
The girl was quite calm when she saw this scene, and did not show any surprise. It was obvious that she was already used to it.
"I want to go meet them in person and tell them to behave themselves. If we cause any big trouble, not only will the Great Ghost Venerable Jieyin be implicated, but we will be implicated as well."
A crack suddenly appeared in the middle of Ouyang Haochen's forehead, and a single dark green eye appeared in the gap.
"While I'm away, keep an eye on my fellow tribesmen and don't let them cause any more trouble. Since you're disguised as prostitutes, do what a prostitute should do. If someone hurts a customer again like last time, I will personally clean up those unruly bastards."
"Yes." The girl nodded.
Then, Ouyang Haochen jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
…
Because of the cold, business in Qingyang City has declined significantly at night.
Old people often say: If you hold your urine, you can walk a thousand miles; if you have diarrhea, you can hardly take a step; if you are terminally ill, you can abstain from alcohol; if you are about to die, you will have nothing to ask for.
Nowadays, either the clients have runny noses, sneezes, and sniffles all the time, or the prostitutes have runny noses and sniffles all the time.
Imagine two sickly people entangled in each other's arms and hugging each other, coughing after a few words, and sneezing after a few kisses. The picture is so beautiful.
Those who are in good health would not dare to get close to those who are infected with colds, for fear of getting infected themselves.
Qin Yuesheng was walking alone on the road.
He wore a throat-binding goggles around his neck, a demon waist bag on his waist, a sword to suppress evil on his back, arm armor on his arms, and two soul-shaking bells on his wrists, giving him the air of a wandering wanderer.
Because he is a member of the Seven Stars Supervisor, Zuo Zonghao has been secretly placing various powerful weapons in the sealed area in order to wipe out all the hidden ghosts in Qingyang City.
Qin Yuesheng was naturally assigned corresponding tasks, so it was impossible for him to be idle.
Patrolling Qingyang City at night was the task given to him by Zuo Zonghao. In addition to Qin Yuesheng, Huo Bang also performed this task.
