Chapter 248 Keep your head down and rush on your way, be respectful and courteous

"Sir! Master! Please wait a moment!"

The group of people stood still, waiting for the man to run over panting.

"call……"

The clerk stopped and breathed a sigh of relief. He could hardly straighten up, and then asked: "Why did the master and the master leave in such a hurry?"

"We've already had breakfast, how can we be in a hurry?"

"The poor monk has nothing to do in the city now, so he naturally has to go to the villages outside the city, but it is not easy to delay."

"Today is New Year's Eve." The clerk surnamed Jin put his hands on his thighs and looked at them and said, "Why don't you leave after New Year's Eve?"

"New Year's Eve is just the right time to get rid of the epidemic."

"In a year of great disaster, how can people celebrate the new year?"

"Then we can't let the master and the master leave alone like this." The clerk surnamed Jin said, "Please let me escort a few of them outside the city."

"It's cold outside the city..." Song You said.

"Why does the donor need to be so polite?" the monk also said.

"Those who come from the south are not afraid of the severe cold. How can I be afraid of the cold when I grew up here?" The clerk said for a moment, "If this were not the case, I would really feel uneasy."

"Then let's go."

"Since the Taoist Master has said it, let's go."

"Thank you."

The clerk smiled and thanked them.

Then he took a deep breath, followed them out of the city, unwrapped himself, took out pancakes and persimmons, and two warm thick clothes, and forced them to give them to them.

The two couldn't refuse, so they had no choice but to take it with them.

"Thank you very much."

"My brother has been ill for more than half a month. If it were not for the care of Mr. and Master, he would have died seven or eight days ago. Not only is he alive now that the miracle doctor has given him the medicine, but he is also gradually getting better. Thank you so much for Mr. and Master.

The master is the one." The clerk said sincerely, "This little intention is really not worth mentioning."

"It's a pity that your father-in-law..."

"My mother is old. Thanks to the master's Buddhist teachings, it is a good thing that she can leave her without any pain."

The clerk was a little sad as he spoke, but after a while he breathed a long sigh of relief and walked forward again: "The city gate has arrived. I will ask the guards to open the door."

"Good work."

The minor officials are now responsible for the entrance and exit of the city, and the names of Taoists and monks have long been spread throughout Hansu. Even the soldiers guarding the city know that a Taoist and a monk voluntarily came to Hansu, and also voluntarily entered Bingqianfang for everyone.

The patient's pain is alleviated and his illness is delayed. Maybe they also have relatives who have received kindness from these two people in the disease relocation workshop, so they dare not neglect them and are more respectful.

The soldiers quickly opened the city gate and gathered at the city gate to see them off respectfully as if they were seeing off some important personage.

Some people stay, some say goodbye, and some give blessings.

The group of people passed the city gate and arrived outside the city.

The ground outside the city was covered with snow, and it was so white that the edge could not be seen.

It is a completely different scenery from the south.

The clerk took the luggage from the monks, slung it on his body, and followed them away from the city.

"Donor, please come back."

"Send it to the front, send it to the front."

"Amitabha……"

The monk could only sigh helplessly, and then continued to talk to Song You: "But I haven't asked yet, what are the plans after the Taoist Master leaves?"

"My trip here is to travel down the mountain. After coming out of Changjing, we are going all the way north. Naturally, we should continue going north."

"To the north?"

"North from here?"

There were two voices beside him, one came from a monk and the other came from a petty official.

"Taoist Master, are you going to the snowfield?" The monk frowned, but after a moment, his brows relaxed again and he narrowed his eyes.

"There is a big demon occupying the snowfield!" The clerk was also shocked.

"I just want to go and have a look."

"Amitabha."

The monk clasped his hands together and said something.

He understood instantly.

Hansu is the place where the nine-day epidemic first started.

It is said that a group of people were bewitched by demons. They left the city and went north into the snowfield in their sleep. When they came out again, they were neither human nor ghosts. Nine out of ten people who came into contact with these people also contracted the disease later.

.

It is also said that a group of little demons came from the snowy plains and tried to enter the city. After the war, there were already many demons in Hezhou, and Hansu was next to the snowy plains. How could the soldiers guarding the city easily let these little demons in? They pulled them out at the city gate.

The sword killed him. These soldiers may have strong blood and strong bodies, so they were fine. However, the person responsible for taking the monster's corpse to bury it fell ill within two days after returning.

I don’t know which one is true and which one is false, or whether they are both true. In short, both statements point to the snowy field.

Judging from the monk's understanding of this demonic epidemic since he traveled in Gui County, he is pretty much inseparable from it.

The snowfield is the source of the plague.

The Taoist priest next to me has great magical power. I am afraid that when I first walked north to Hansu, I planned to go to the snowy field.

I'm not sure whether it would be better to get rid of the big demon of the snowy field as soon as possible, or to stay in Hansu for a few more days, so that all the people in Debingqianfang can wait until the magic medicine comes. Most of them are infected by themselves, so they stay. Now since Hansu

The people in the county have been saved, so he will naturally continue to go to the snowfield.

As expected, soon I heard a Taoist next to me ask:

"You have been living in Hansu since you were a child. How much do you know about the person in the snowy field?"

"Sir, I want to know..."

The clerk looked at the Taoist beside him in panic.

The Taoist looked gentle:

"Just say it."

The clerk suddenly trembled, thought again, and then said: "Reporting to sir, Hansu is actually very close to the snowy field. Sir, go straight to the north forty or fifty miles and you will reach the snowy field."

"So close..."

"But close to the border of the snowfield, we have built many temples, including the Leigong Temple and the Lingguan Temple. In the past, when there was no plague, every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year and the sixth day of June, we would go to worship, not only in the entire Hansu City.

People will go to worship, and people outside the city will also go spontaneously." The clerk said, "With the protection of the gods, all kinds of demons and demons can't cross the border, so even though we are close, we Hansu people can barely survive.

We have to go down. We just moved a lot."

"Lei Gong Temple Lingguan Temple..."

"The main ones are Zhou Lei Gong and Jin Lingguan."

"That's it."

Song You smiled.

The patient knows the efficacy of the medicine.

People in other places in Hezhou may not know, and there are even some people like Pujun who are influenced by demons and worship Fu Leigong. However, Guijun, which is close to the snowy plains, especially Hansu, has the clearest idea of ​​which god is in charge.

"There are always gods in the lower realm over there. It's sometimes sunny and thunderous in winter. People in other places may not know it, but we Hansu people know it best."

"please continue."

"There was a time in the past few years when dark clouds were all over that place, and thunder was raging, and it struck for a whole month." The clerk said and glanced at Song You quietly, "But the demons over there were still not eliminated."

"Any more?"

"There have been experts who have gone in before. One time, an expert said that the demons in the snowfield were not born after the war, but existed long ago. They had been dormant in the grassland for many years and were awakened by something. He also said that this

The demon seems not to be a beast, but a spirit from heaven and earth."

"The spirit of heaven and earth?"

"Young people have heard of it too."

"..."

Song You couldn't help but look forward.

There was no snow falling today, but I couldn't see the snowfield from the farthest distance, but I didn't know what the snowfield was like.
To be continued...
