Chapter 177: The Descent of the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun

"Third Shixiong brother, in your opinion, this place is the incense land of Lord Tianweng. Will there be a Plague Yili Shenjun from the heavens coming to collect the plague?" Lin Jue saw the fifth senior brother calmly washing the worm eggs and couldn't help but ask.

"You think too much."

The fifth senior brother's movements didn't stop:

"It's true that there are great generals in the heavens who collect plague, but this is like magic; only the plague released by the deity can be collected by the deity. Moreover, even if the great general who collects plague collects the plague, it only makes the plague stop spreading; those who have already been infected will not recover because of this."

"It's actually like this!"

Lin Jue paused and couldn't help but ask again: "Now that it has been confirmed that the Plague Ghost is real, senior brother, where do you think it came from?"

"Junior brother!"

The fifth senior brother's movements still didn't stop, his thoughts were still calm, and his tone was as indifferent as usual:

"We are Daoists of the Lingfa Sect. We neither worship gods nor have we attained the Dao. Although we should have a heart for the people, we must also know the principle that human power has its limits. Let's manage less of these things for now."

Saying this, he paused:

"Whatever is in front of us, we look at it; whatever we can cure, we cure. As for things that are too high and too far, heh, junior brother, your future is limitless. Just keep going up, and one day it will be in front of you. At that time, if junior brother still has the heart you have now, it will be the blessing of all living things."

Lin Jue was silent after listening.

It seemed that the fifth senior brother avoided the topic and didn't say anything, but he had already indicated his guess.

This matter was afraid it had something to do with the deities.

Just like the Plague Department in the heavens—

This sounded abnormal.

Among the immortals who should be seeking good for the people, there was a department specifically in charge of the plague. These Plague Department immortals could not only collect the plague but also release it. And many times, releasing the plague was not just used against external enemies.

It wasn't just the plague, but also other natural disasters.

Sometimes they brought down natural disasters to eliminate external enemies or heretical religions, sometimes to change or accelerate the historical process, and sometimes for their own incense interests, and so on.

Divine Dao establishes teachings; "making people afraid" was also an important means for them to control the commoners of the world.

Just as Lin Jue was thinking, he saw the fifth senior brother take many washed worm eggs, shake off the water, and swallow them directly.

Even Lin Jue couldn't help but be stunned.

The senior brother's expression was still calm:

"Don't be surprised. With the abilities of us Daoist practitioners, the fastest way to quickly understand the pathology, toxicity, and Yin-Yang Five Elements principles of this plague is to get infected yourself. You have learned ingestion, so you should be clear about this principle."

"This……"

Lin Jue was speechless for a moment.

It was indeed as the fifth senior brother said.

It was just that this didn't affect his surprise at this scene at this moment and his admiration for this senior brother, especially since the fifth senior brother had no psychological burden at all.

"Disease enters through the mouth. If you had learned medicine from me, the messy things you would have eaten wouldn't be few."

After the fifth senior brother finished speaking, he wiped his hands clean.

"Sleep first."

"Good."

Lin Jue then followed him back to the room.

……

Three days later—

The senior brother and junior sister had all arrived in Cuiwei County.

In this way, Lin Jue was even more relaxed. Even the matter of doing odd jobs for the fifth senior brother was not his turn to do.

If it were things like preparing medicine, decocting medicine, finding medicine, and gathering medicine, or helping to judge the pharmacology and toxicity, naturally the second senior brother was more adept. If it were dealing with people, then the third senior brother and seventh senior brother would do it. As for other tiring and dirty work, it wouldn't be Lin Jue's turn to hear it before the junior sister snatched it up to do it.

Plus having heard of this plague before and knowing the main medicine, in just a few days, the fifth senior brother had prepared the prescription.

The first to take the decoction was a physician in the city.

After taking it for half a day, he had the same reaction as those patients treated by the fifth senior brother's acupuncture, lying on the bench and vomiting two or three liters of snakes.

"How do you feel?"

The fifth senior brother asked the physician.

"Abdomen is empty……"

The physician wiped his mouth and answered weakly.

"Let me see."

"May I ask……"

"The worms and snakes in the abdomen are not finished, but it has already taken effect. You will be fine after eating it for a few days." After the fifth senior brother checked the pulse, he said to the senior and junior brothers beside him, "Hurry up and call the physicians and plague officials of the plague house, and send the prescription to the plague officials in the city who haven't fallen ill yet, and tell them to try to send it to Liuyun County and villages everywhere."

"Good!"

Everyone walked out one after another.

Not long after, the physicians who fell ill in the city were all in the inn's main hall, but some walked over tremblingly, and some were carried over.

"Does the True Man really have a prescription?"

All the physicians in the city were happy and couldn't believe it.

"The old man just drank the medicine prepared by the True Man and vomited more than two liters of snakes. Now I feel that my abdomen is much better." The physician who had just drunk the decoction said, "At least it doesn't hurt anymore, and I want to eat something."

"If this is true! Then there is salvation!"

"Could it be that the True Man is a medical immortal descended to the world?"

"The True Man must be an immortal descended to the world!"

"Everyone, don't be like this." The fifth senior brother said, "Everyone, drink the medicine first and remove the worm plague from your bodies before talking."

"Good, good, good!"

The numerous physicians were already impatient.

At the same time, a Husheng Husheng Zhenjun descended in the City Yili Shenjun Temple.

The Cuiwei City Yili Shenjun had been terrified for several days, knowing that his good days were probably coming to an end. However, the methods he thought of couldn't work—he wanted to invite that Daoist over, bribe and threaten him, or push the matter onto him, but the other party didn't come at all. He sent martial officers to arrest him, but the two martial officers in the city couldn't deal with him, and even one was injured.

Now he could naturally only live in fear.

Until today, two True Lords descended together.

The Cuiwei City Yili Shenjun knew that today was probably the time to decide his fate.

At this moment, looking at the two True Lords in front of him, he was stunned.

One of them was the Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun, one of the four Protector True Lords under Lord Tianweng, who had always governed this place. The Cuiwei City Yili Shenjun was familiar with him, but this time another relatively unfamiliar Husheng Husheng Zhenjun also came. Of course, unfamiliar just meant they hadn't dealt with each other. There was also a small statue of this Husheng Husheng Zhenjun in the City Yili Shenjun Temple of Cuiwei County, so he naturally recognized him; this was the Master Fuchi Husheng Husheng Zhenjun under the Zi Xu Emperor.

The Master Fuchi Yili Shenjun was wearing battle armor, his hand resting on the precious sword at his waist, his face like a knife, and his malevolent energy was so heavy that it seemed like he had just come down from the battlefield. As soon as he saw him, he asked in a deep voice:

"Are you the Cuiwei City Yili Shenjun?"

"This small deity is……"

This Husheng Husheng Zhenjun made him feel timid subconsciously.

"Has the Plague Ghost been caught?"

"No, no!"

The Cuiwei City Yili Shenjun answered tremblingly.

Knowing that after today, he would either be punished for dereliction of duty or would no longer be the City Yili Shenjun, he hardened his heart and turned back to look at the two divine officials behind him: "But there are two divine officials in my temple. They guard the South City Gate of this county. That day, that Daoist of the Lingfa Sect entered from the South City Gate, and they have some ideas."

The Master Fuchi Yili Shenjun glanced behind him:

"Speak!"

The City Yili Shenjun also looked back. The two divine officials knew clearly in their hearts and immediately walked up. They didn't dare to look at the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun, nor did they dare to delay time. The fat divine official spoke first:

"Returning to the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun, this small deity boldly guesses that there was no Plague Ghost to begin with. Otherwise, how could we eight city-guarding divine officials guarding the city gate day and night not see the shadow of the Plague Ghost? And when that Daoist of the Lingfa Sect entered the city, he happened to bring a demon with him. The plague in the city only started after he entered the city."

"We suspect that it was the plague brought by that Daoist!" The thin divine official added, "And the City Yili Shenjun sent martial officers to invite him over for investigation and questioning. Not only did he not dare to come, but he also resisted arrest and injured the martial officer in the city."

But only heard a majestic voice from the front, sounding not loud, but exploding in their ears like thunder:

"Why do you not dare to lift your heads when speaking?"

The two were immediately terrified to the extreme, lowering their heads and trembling: "True, Husheng Husheng Zhenjun's true body and Dharma body, divine light is ten thousand zhang, our Daoist cultivation is shallow, naturally we dare not look directly."

"Hmph!"

A cold snort, again like a thunderclap.

The two divine officials trembled in their hearts, not daring to disobey, and could only lift their heads tremblingly.

Immediately, their whole bodies trembled even more!

Only saw the two True Lords in front. The Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun was wearing silver armor, with a pure white cloak behind him, looking at them with his arms crossed, and two heavenly soldiers behind him were carrying a large spear for him together.

There was golden light flickering in the Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun's eyes. Once the golden light came out, it seemed to pierce into their hearts from their eyes.

And that Master Fuchi Yili Shenjun was wearing black-gold fine scale armor, wearing a cloak outside, with a long sword hanging at his waist, not even using his divine powers, just looking at them coldly, as if looking at dead people.

"Why didn't that Daoist come?"

The Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun finally spoke, withdrew his gaze, and asked them.

"We…… we don't know either……"

"Did he really injure the martial officer?"

"Absolutely true! The injury on Martial Officer Wang's body hasn't healed yet!"

"A Daoist of the Lingfa Sect, even if he has a clear conscience, should come when summoned by a deity! Not only did he not come, but he also dared to resist arrest. This is a bit unruly!" The Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun looked at the Master Fuchi Yili Shenjun.

"Bullshit rules! Your land here is rotten to the core, yet you blame others for not following the rules?" Lord Master Fuchi looked at him with cold eyes, not even deigning to put this Martial Yili Shenjun—who was a Husheng Husheng Zhenjun just like him—in his eyes. "If you are dissatisfied, then come with me to find that Daoist and ask him carefully, to see what exactly the mediocre officials and muddled gods of your territory have been doing!"

"Exactly my intention!"

"Lead the way!"

Both True Lords looked at the divine officials.

"Obey the order……"

The two divine officials were extremely uneasy and terrified in their hearts, but they could only agree.

There was only one hope in their hearts.

That was that this Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun had always been protective of his own and had always valued the dignity of deities. Regardless of whether that Daoist was reasonable or not, the City Yili Shenjun invited him to investigate and question him, but he not only refused to go but also injured the martial officer in the temple. This point alone was enough for this Husheng Husheng Zhenjun to punish him.

True Lords were True Men in ancient times and also specialized in fighting methods. Even Daoists of the Lingfa Sect who had attained the Dao were mostly not their opponents. As long as the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun was willing to punish him, he assumed that no matter how the Daoist tried, he wouldn't be able to make any waves.

The City Yili Shenjun and local deities moved very fast in the city, and the two True Lords also rode the clouds and mist. In a moment, a group of divine soldiers and heavenly generals arrived at the inn.

Unexpectedly, the inn was still overcrowded at this time.

The fifth senior brother sat at a table, Lin Jue and the third senior brother helped distribute medicine, and many physicians, plague officials, and foot soldiers sat beside him. The junior sister was carrying a bucket full of long worms that looked like snakes to deal with them.

"This medicine is truly miraculous!"

"Yes, to be able to prepare a prescription in just a few days, I'm afraid even those famous medical immortals in the world couldn't do it!"

"Is the True Man really not an immortal?"

"True Man, just don't go to Liuyun County. All the people of Cuiwei will raise funds to build a Daoist temple for you in our Cuiwei County. How about the True Man cultivate here? It will also allow us to repay this kindness."

"Yes, yes!"

"Everyone, take good care of yourselves. If your bodies feel better after eating a few decoctions, please take medicine according to the prescription, distribute more to the poor, go out of the city and walk a few more villages, and save more people."

The numerous physicians and plague officials all agreed one after another.

The two True Lords arrived here and happened to bump into this scene.

The divine generals and heavenly soldiers beside the Master Fuchi Yili Shenjun left him for the first time and went upstairs to search for possible evidence. Only he and the Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun stood here, looking at these Daoists, looking at the decoction in the bowl, and looking at the physicians and plague officials who had taken the decoction, as well as the long worms they vomited into the bucket.

The fifth senior brother naturally saw them too. He glanced at them because there were many people, didn't react, and because there were more important things to do, he continued to explain the prescription to the physicians.

The two True Lords didn't make a sound either, listening carefully.

Lin Jue and the third senior brother stood up, couldn't help but look at them, and then looked at the two city-guarding divine officials behind them.

The two divine officials were already panicked.

"Husheng Husheng Zhenjun, don't be deceived by them. Perhaps this is their trick, it is their scheme!"

"What is said is very true! And no matter what, the City Yili Shenjun summoned him to ask questions, which is reasonable and reasonable. This Daoist relies on his cultivation and magic power, not only refusing the City Yili Shenjun's summons but also injuring the martial officer, which is also……"

The Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun was expressionless.

The Master Fuchi Yili Shenjun had already frowned, showing disgust, and reached out to hold the hilt of his sword at his waist. Without any movement, only heard the sound of a sword blade cutting through the void.

"Swish!"

Before the two divine officials could finish speaking, they had already been cut into two sections from the waist, and in an instant, they were reduced to ashes.

This scene stunned even the Daoists in the room. ===== CHAPTER 178 =====
