Chapter 572 Go to Leper Mountain

As he went down the mountain and returned to the yard by carriage, Yu Wenhao didn't say much. Instead, Xu Yi kept talking outside, saying that Jinghu was really magical.

Yuan Qingling didn't speak either. After the fanaticism, he thought deeply.

Since she came here, she missed the people at home all the time. The appearance of Jinghu once again aroused her homesickness that she had finally suppressed.

She didn't want to jump out of Jinghu so irrationally, just thinking that many things existed and that since they were reasonable, there must be people who understand it, such as the one who sent Mo Yi.

There is such a person, such as Jinghu, and she becomes more and more confident. Going home and looking at it is not a dream, and it is possible to realize the future. And hope is still increasing bit by bit.

After Yu Wenhao was silent for a long time, he held up a sentence to Yuan Qingling. "Don't think about what happened before you resurrected your soul by borrowing a corpse."

Yuan Qingling leaned against him. "I didn't think about it."

"What is that time and space? Is it the entrance to the underworld?" Yu Wenhao didn't understand and was also afraid because he didn't understand.

He thought Yuan Qingling would be so happy. Perhaps Jinghu has something to do with resurrecting the soul with corpse.

Yuan Qingling smiled and said, "Why do you think so?"

Yuwenhao said dullly: "To me, it's like an entrance to hell."

Yuan Qingling just got closer and closer to him. He didn't know whether Jinghu was the entrance to time and space. What the Taoist said was not entirely credible. It was not that he was lying, but that uncle of the master might have gone down the mountain by himself. Everyone thought he had gone down the mountain and finally appeared, but they mistakenly thought that he appeared from Jinghu. As for the other world and the entrance to time and space he mentioned, they might have heard from other places. It was even possible that he knew him and the younger generation, who had told him about the things about the other world and time and space.

So, now that I calm down, what I think is more rational.

When he returned to the yard, A Si grabbed Yuan Qingling and spoke, "They didn't say a word today."

Yuan Qingling sighed, "Don't force it, let them like it."

Asi said depressedly: "It just looks bad."

Yuan Qingling patted her shoulder gently, then went in to see Yuan Yongyi's wound.

Man'er took A Si to talk about everything he saw in Jinghu today, and said that Jinghu was a place in another world. He disappeared immediately after losing his thing. He said that A Si really wanted to go and see it. He looked at Xu Yi excitedly, "Let's go again tomorrow."

Xu Yi looked at A Si's shining eyes and said lightly: "Don't go, so as not to misunderstand you."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

A Si looked at his back in surprise. What was he misunderstood? This kid is not relieved yet? So stingy!

I had nothing to say for a night, and I had my own thoughts. I would set off to the next day to go to the mountain of Lefeng.

Yuan Yongyi was injured, so King Qi and A Si took her back to the capital first.

Xu Yi and Man'er followed Yu Wenhao and his wife to secretly go to the Lefeng Mountain to see. After seeing the situation on the Lefeng Mountain in person, Yuan Qingling could also make a plan.

No one is allowed to enter the mountain of Mafeng, especially the current crown prince. If someone is asked to find out, he will be punished by impeachment in the court.

Leprosy Mountain is a bad existence for the Northern Tang Dynasty. When the leprosy broke out five years ago, an official in the court proposed to kill the leprosy patients and then burn the bodies.

Because leprosy has always existed, but it is still rare to have such intensive outbreaks in Beijing.

This official, named He Ruxiu, is the Zuo Sanqi Eunuch of Menxia Province, and is now the disciple of King An. He Ruxiu was from the imperial examination and was promoted by Di Weiming. He came to Menxia Province six years ago. When leprosy broke out, he was rampant with evil diseases, which damaged the power of the Northern Tang Dynasty. He secretly reported to the emperor to kill all the leprosy patients and burn them to prevent future troubles.

Because it was a secret report, no one knew about this. Yuwen Hao would know that he happened to be serving the Emperor's bedside at that time, and he heard Emperor Mingyuan go to discuss with the Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor was sick at the time and had a lot of empathy for the patients, so he disagreed with He Ruxiu's proposal. Finally, he chose a compromise method to enclose these patients on the mountain. The area where the enclosed was only ten acres of mountain land at that time. One side was facing cliffs and the other side was densely covered with miasma, and it was impossible to enter. As for the other two sides, they were surrounded and soldiers were guarding them.

The supply inside is all the responsible for the court, but these are all patients abandoned by the world. The court is only responsible for the birth, raising, dying and burying. As for the quality of life, there is no such thing as the quality of life.

Just locked up here like a dog, the food is the worst. The yamen responsible for supply has never been given a piece of meat all year round.

This is the real situation on the mountain of Lefeng. However, the silver allocated by the court is enough to supply a meal of meat every day. As for whom the appropriated silver is in, I don’t know.

Yuwen Hao never cared about the Lefeng Mountain before. In fact, no official in Beijing would think about paying attention to these patients who were abandoned on the mountain, and no one would want to mention them.

If Madam Xi had not had leprosy and had Yuan Qingling pay attention, the leprosy mountain would probably never have appeared in anyone's eyes.

There is no one guarding the foot of the mountain because no one can come up here.

The soldiers on the mountain were not guarding against outsiders, but preventing the patients from running down.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Yuwenhao and Yuan Qingling to go up the mountain. They just need to go in, and they have to go through the dense forest. However, they don’t need to really go deep into the dense forest. They just need to go through the edge.

It was around the Mid-Autumn Festival, whether it was the capital or the prefectures in various places, they were reunion in great detail. However, the moment they stepped on the mountain, they felt dead silence and strange atmosphere. It was clear that the sun was high, and it always gave people a feeling of coldness, as if this was a hell that could not be exposed to the sun.

The situation here is very different from the one I had in Wanfoshan yesterday.

Bypassing the edge of the dense forest, you will see a flat ground, with densely packed short buildings, wooden houses, built in a very simple and disorganized manner.

There was a mountain wind blowing here, but a stench blew from the other end of the house. After taking a deep breath, it seemed like the smell of rotten corpses.

Xu Yi soon discovered that the rotten corpse was not transmitted from there. He had always been whispering, and now he became sad and silent. "There are many corpses over there."

Yuwenhao and Yuan Qingling looked in the direction of his fingers and saw a small hill like a mass grave outside the fence, with white bones piled up on it, and stinky flies buzzing around the newly decayed corpse. The stench came from the hill. At first glance, there were at least four or five hundred corpses, including the bones.

Because it is close to the dense forest, no one burns the corpse, and there is no wind or sunshine in the forest. When the corpse decays, it smells very smelly, and even rotten corpse liquid can be seen on the ground.

Yuan Qingling almost vomited. She held the trunk next to her, and she retching for a moment, and tears came out. On this leprosy mountain, life is very cheap.
