Chapter 88: Dead End
Miss Bai Feng could accurately identify the soul-devouring insect, and the last trace of doubt in Xin Hongying's heart disappeared.
After witnessing Wu Nixiang sucking Chef Miao's blood with his own eyes, which was consistent with Zi Gu's bloodthirsty nature, Xin Hongying did not doubt his words.
After all, Imperial Physician Mi had never come into contact with witchcraft, so it was possible that the ancient books he looked through were wrong.
Xin Hongying's dark eyes were sharp: "I can give you the Wu Ni Xiang, but you must help me get rid of this soul-devouring Gu."
"If you can't do it, I will kill you myself."
Miss Bai Feng shrugged nonchalantly: "You are Miss Kang's brother, so I will naturally do my best to help you remove the poison. I won't let you become a living dead."
Xin Hongying frowned, feeling unhappy, and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "You care about my sister...sister?"
"Of course." Miss Bai Feng admitted it directly.
Shen Tingyu was stunned. Is there anything about her in this?
Miss Bai Feng smiled like a fox, her eyes fixed on Shen Tingyu, and she winked at her cunningly: “Miss Kang is beautiful and kind-hearted, I like beauties the most.”
Although they had only known each other for a short time, how could these words come out of her mouth so naturally and kindly? Especially when she was being praised by such a beautiful woman.
Shen Tingyu's cheeks flushed with praise, the corners of her mouth turned up crazily, she looked a little embarrassed, and said dryly: "You are also beautiful."
Before she traveled through time, her face was pretty and charming, but she was not a great beauty in the secular sense.
So even though her face was as beautiful as a banished fairy after her transformation, she didn't think of herself as a beauty at all.
Looking at Shen Tingyu's shy smile, Xin Hongying felt a little uncomfortable. This feeling was stuffy, something he had never felt before, and he clenched his fists.
Such an extremely unfamiliar emotion, was the insect beginning to affect him again?
"How do we get rid of the soul-devouring insect?" Xin Hongying stood between them and took over the conversation.
Miss Bai Feng raised her eyebrows slightly, and a strange color flashed in her eyes. "Soul Devouring Gu is difficult to cure, and it is even more difficult to cure when it is on the verge of maturity."
"So you can't pull it out forcefully. If the quilt Gu notices it, it will fight you at all costs, and this will only intensify it."
"I will use acupuncture to seal your five senses and immerse your body in the medicinal liquid to calm your mind. This will gradually stop it from devouring your sanity and inhibit its growth."
"I'll give you some precious medicinal herbs to make the child Gu weaker."
"The most important thing is to have a trigger to force out the sub-gu. You can't let the sub-gu perish with you. The trigger is difficult to cultivate. I will cultivate it as soon as possible and will never let you die."
Shen Tingyu suddenly remembered the disgusting insect, and she clapped her hands. "Can the clone of the Soul-Eating Mother Gu be used as a trigger?"
Unfortunately, when she was ambushed, the clone that fell down died when being used by Imperial Physician Mi for research, otherwise it could have been used directly.
Xin Hongying knew what she wanted to say: Concubine Yu!
"Clone! Of course, this is the best introduction."
Miss Bai Feng felt strange: "However, the mother Gu is willing to create a clone, it seems that your identity is not simple!"
Xin Hongying remained silent.
Boom!
There was a loud noise coming from the sky, shaking the earth and the sky. The feeling was particularly strong in the cave.
Shen Tingyu's body trembled, she bit her lower lip and screamed, the sound muffled in her lungs. When she was really scared, she would not scream.
A pair of big hands covered her ears, Shen Tingyu suddenly looked up, feeling a little relieved.
When the thunder roared, Xin Hongying immediately looked at her and suggested, "We don't know when the thunderstorm will end. We shouldn't stay here for long. Let's go down the mountain when the rain subsides."
Shen Tingyu nodded: “Okay.”
Miss Baifeng is carefully digging out the black unicorn.
"Miss Kang, maybe what you said is true. Sister Xiaofang really has contracted the epidemic." Miss Yi Han had a heavy expression.
"You left in a carriage and didn't pay attention to the people in the city. I noticed quite a few people coughing along the way."
"That's so unusual."
"What!" Chef Miao froze in place as if struck by lightning.
In the original novel, when the zombie blood epidemic broke out, she had already died. But now it was different. She was still alive. Shen Tingyu asked expectantly, "Divine Doctor, do you have a way to cure it?"
Miss Yi Han shook her head. "The source of the disease has not been identified yet. My abilities are limited, and I haven't found a cure yet. I can't treat too many people. I'm afraid the people in this city..."
"There's nothing you can do!" Shen Tingyu's face turned pale: "Oh no, Yunzhou City is going to become an epidemic city..."
Shen Tingyu looked at Xin Hongying and understood the unfinished meaning in the other's eyes.
Do you want to leave?
No...stay! The people in the city need them.
…
The rain that had covered the city for three consecutive days had dissipated, and today was the birthday party of Mr. Luo, a wealthy businessman in Yunzhou City.
Xin Hongying sent someone to tell her that he couldn't attend the birthday party today due to something, and left a message saying that something was wrong in Yunzhou City and asked her to have less contact with others.
He came to the city lord's mansion and revealed his identity, but saw the corpse of the Yunzhou City lord.
At the birthday party that day, a child vomited blood and died on the spot. Doctor Yan happened to be at the birthday party and found that the child's symptoms were almost exactly the same as Fang Niang's. He thought of the ridiculous epidemic and black death that Shen Tingyu said.
He immediately fell to the ground, pointed at the corpse and shouted, "Plague! It's the plague!"
This caused the guests at the banquet to feel uneasy and their faces changed drastically.
The most prestigious doctors in Yunzhou City all asserted that it was a plague, considering that more and more people in Yunzhou City had been coughing recently.
The people had no suspicion of his presence and were so frightened that they fled in all directions like birds and beasts.
The birthday banquet ended in a bad mood, and Mr. Luo turned gray overnight due to worry.
Mrs. Luo thought of what Xin Hongying had left for her, and she quickly and decisively put everything in order at home, and forbade all the servants to go out.
Even the bright sunshine after the rainstorm could not dispel the gloom in people's hearts. The news of the plague spread quickly in the city and soon reached every street and lane.
Those who had some savings at home or were not originally from outside Yunzhou City wanted to leave Yunzhou City before the news of the plague spread outside the city, but suddenly found that they could not leave.
The city gates have been closed and soldiers are on duty. For many days, no one has been allowed to enter but not leave.
The people, who were packing up their belongings and preparing to leave with their families, were excited: "Open the gate, open the city gate quickly!"
"Let me out, I want to go out."
"I'm not from Yunzhou City. I want to leave the city. My wife is waiting for me at home!"
"Ah! The officers and soldiers killed people!"
During the dispute, some civilians were killed, which scared away those who wanted to leave the city.
The city lord is dead, and Xin Hongying takes over the important affairs of the city without caring about his identity.
At this moment, he was standing on the city wall, looking down at the farce at the city gate. The indifference in his eyes made Shen Tingyu dream back to the description of the tyrant in the original book, and he suddenly shuddered.
"They can't get out, not even I. The city gates have been surrounded. If anyone goes out, they will be shot down by dense arrows."
Shen Tingyu placed her fair hands on the city wall and looked into the distance, but found nothing.
"To kill me, you're making such a big fuss."
A hint of viciousness flashed in Xin Hongying's eyes. "This is almost a dead end. If I escape, I will be abandoning the people. If I stay in the city, I will disappear completely."
"The person behind this is really clever."
