Star Trace Gate

In a quiet courtyard.

The white-robed sorcerer from the Tianjian Division sat upright on the couch, looking at the middle-aged man with a playful look: "Ren Ye... didn't Xu Hu tell you that if you want the Azure Dragon Scroll, you can't just rely on the Star Source?"

"Then what do we rely on?" The middle-aged man who called himself Ren Ye frowned.

"Are you at the fourth level?" The sorcerer in white thought for a moment and then asked softly while drinking.

The middle-aged man looked at the other person calmly without responding.

"Please go to southern Xinjiang for me. After the task is completed, I can give you the Azure Dragon Scroll." The sorcerer in white raised his arm and shook his wrist lightly.

"Whoosh!"

A streak of light flew across the sky and headed straight for the middle-aged man's face. It was so fast that it could not be captured clearly with the naked eye.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man raised his arm calmly, and there was no star source fluctuation in his body. He just stretched out a finger and pointed it accurately on the flowing light.

"Ong!"

With a pointing of his finger, the light dissipated, and a wisp of Tianjiansi secret token wrapped with thoughts revealed its original appearance.

"What a powerful body." The white-robed sorcerer's eyes lit up.

The middle-aged man played with the token: "What's the use of this thing?"

"What to do and how to do it in Southern Xinjiang are all in the secret token. You can use your consciousness to perceive it. As for whether to go or not, it all depends on your wish." The white-robed sorcerer said softly: "If you go, after the matter is resolved, come back here and wait for me."

"Farewell."

The middle-aged man understood what the other party meant and turned around and left.

The sorcerer in white did not try to persuade him to stay. He just hummed a little tune and raised his glass to drink.

After a while, the middle-aged man returned to the sedan chair on the long street. After thinking for a while, he said softly: "Let's put the matter of returning to Qingliang Mansion aside for now. Let's go to Southern Xinjiang."

"Going to Southern Xinjiang?"

"Yes, the people from the Tianjian Division wanted me to run an errand." The middle-aged man sighed helplessly: "Damn, I hate the Daqian Dynasty the most. This place has not left me with a good impression at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, the four wheels of the carriage made a rustling sound and drove straight out of Shangyu County.

……

Suzaku City.

After communicating with the people who were keeping watch in Kyoto City, Fan Ming's friend Brother Yang actually called over a light-type player with superb medical skills.

Although there is only one person, he is a fourth-level light system and can be regarded as a doctor among professional specialized players, specializing in the study of magical medicine.

This man is in his forties and likes to imitate the ancients. He named himself "Wu Yazi", which sounds impressive.

When he arrived at Suzaku City, he greeted Jian Dan and Ren Ye, asked about the general situation, and then went to Qingliang Mansion with them.

"Mr. Wu, this way, this way." Ren Ye led the way in front with an anxious look.

Wu Yazi, with his Mediterranean hairstyle, consoled him softly, "The epidemic after the heavy rain is not a difficult matter. I brought the formula and some herbs with me, little emperor. It's not a big problem, so don't worry."

He was about 1.80 meters tall, with slightly squinting eyes and a bald head. He was dressed in a cloth robe and had a box on his back. He looked a little dull.

Without mentioning anything else, just looking at this look, his IQ is at least 180 and he looks very stable.

"Okay, okay." Ren nodded repeatedly and continued to lead the way.

Soon, the two passed by the main gate of the government office, and Ren also saw Lao Liu running out in a hurry, his clothes were disheveled and his face was serious.

He was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What's wrong?"

When Old Liu saw Ren Ye coming back, he immediately rushed over and said, "It broke out! Damn, almost all the people around Yuanma Temple are lying down, all vomiting and having diarrhea. The Qingliang River upstream is almost filled with poop. Brother Huang is short of manpower, and I was just about to go over to help. The clerk said that at least a thousand people there have shown symptoms..."

"So fast?"

"We don't know if this plague has an incubation period. Maybe everyone was infected yesterday." Old Liu said with a pale face, "We don't understand either."

"Come on, go over and take a look."

"it is good!"

The two of them had a brief exchange, and then took Old Wu and quickly headed towards Yuanma Temple.

After walking about a hundred meters, Lao Liu suddenly stopped and covered his stomach.

Ren also turned around: "What's wrong with you?"

"…It's over!" Old Liu looked at me strangely and blinked, "It's over, it's over."

As he spoke, he looked around in panic and saw that there were only residential buildings and a few alleys around him, but there was no shelter.

Without thinking too much, Lao Liu rushed to the side of the alley. But before he could get in, three "pu pu pu" sounds were heard from his buttocks.

Ren was also stunned, and Old Wu's expression was frozen.

People passing by on the street all stopped because the noise was too loud.

Those three "puff" sounds had extremely strong penetrating power, and the "object" that was shot out actually shot out through the holes in the cloth.

The scene was very awkward for a while. When Lao Liu turned around, he found that at least a dozen people were staring at him. A child with a shaved head in the shape of a Fuwa doll in the yard next to him was also stretching his neck to look at him.

Social death,

This is true social death.

Lao Liu immediately covered his face with his hands, and his eyes found the direction through his fingers: "I'll go back and change my clothes."

"Old Liu, what's wrong with you? Speak." Ren Ye looked at him running wildly and shouted.

As Lao Liu ran, he continued to yell, "Don't call me by my name, you big idiot!"

“It’s over…!”

Ren Ye was also panicked when he saw Lao Liu leaving.

He was a light-type player who possessed the Stone of Life. Ordinary filth and diseases had no effect on him. How did he get infected, and how did he get infected so quickly?

……

A quarter of an hour later.

In Yuanma Temple near the north side of Qingliang Prefecture, Ren Ye, Huang Wei, Xu Bangzi, and a group of high-ranking officials from the government office all stared in wide eyes at the hundred or so people lying on the ground in the courtyard.

These were the people who initially showed symptoms and were isolated by Huang Wei and then brought to Yuanma Temple.

Not far away, Old Wu saw this scene and instantly raised his right arm, causing a burst of clear light to spread around his body and protect himself.

"Mr. Wu, thank you for your help." Ren Ye said anxiously.

"Let me see."

Old Wu, carrying a box on his back, walked forward and came to a strong man who was exhausted and unconscious.

He squinted his eyes, flicked his left index finger, and a faint light swung out, which tied the strong man's right wrist.

Then everyone saw that the light was like a stream of water, spreading along the pores on the strong man's wrist and penetrating into his body.

Old Wu closed his eyes and sensed carefully.

This process was very slow and lasted about half a quarter of an hour.

No one dared to disturb him. Old Wu checked four or five people in a row before he slowly stood up with a serious look on his face.

Ren also used his Brilliant Might and Star Power to protect the "healthy people" around him, and rushed over to ask, "How is it, Mr. Wu?"

"wrong."

Old Wu shook his head slightly.

"What's wrong?" Ren was confused.

"The disease is not right, but I'm not sure." Old Wu thought for a moment and replied, "There is a source. I'll check it out."

"Okay, okay." Ren nodded repeatedly.

Old Wu said no more, but reached out and patted the cage behind him, calling softly: "Little Mouse, help me."

"Whoosh!"

As soon as the words came out, a meat ball crawled out of the cage and jumped to the ground with a whoosh.

When everyone looked closely, they saw a fat mouse that was pure white and looked very cute.

This was the first time in his life that Ren Ye felt that mice were cute, because they were really good-looking. Their bodies were plump, like a ball, and there was not a single stray hair among their white fur. Their pupils and claws were both slightly red, and they not only looked clean, but also very holy.

Most importantly, its cheeks are swollen, like a rat or a squirrel that is eating.

This creature is called Lingyuan Rat. It is a spiritual animal for doctors that Old Wu has raised for many years. It has also helped him find many rare medicinal herbs.

"Find the source." Old Wu ordered in a gentle voice.

The Lingyuan Rat ran back and forth on the ground, sniffing for a long time, and then ran wildly along the river channel that had been forcibly opened.

It is intelligent and is afraid that people can't keep up, so its speed changes from time to time.

Ren Ye, Huang Ge, Xu Bangzi, and Shopkeeper Qiu who were called to help but didn't know what was going on, all followed Old Wu and Lingyuan Rat and ran downstream.

……

After chasing for nearly an hour, they finally arrived at a valley in the lower reaches of the Qingliang River.

At this moment, the Lingyuan Rat suddenly stopped, sat upright on the ground, scratching each other with its two little paws, and no longer moved forward.

Old Wu looked up upon seeing this, his eyes skipping over the messy gravel and green grass, and saw two breeding sheep at the edge of the river bank, which were already dead but whose bodies had not yet rotted.

"Don't go over there."

After he uttered these words, he stepped forward, relying on the clear light to protect his body.

When he came to a position about seven or eight meters away from the breeding sheep, Old Wu swung the light again and grabbed the body of the breeding sheep.

But this time, a shocking scene happened.

As soon as the light was tied to the breeding sheep, it quickly turned dark green and spread towards Old Wu's side at an extremely fast speed.

"Snapped!"

Old Wu instantly cut off the light and said grimly, "The plague is just a symptom. The real cause is poisoning."

"Poisoning?!"

Ren was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward: "Are you sure?"

"It is certain that this is a very vicious secret method of poisoning." Old Wu frowned, "The situation is much worse than we thought. Even my doctor's light can be infected."

"Poison?"

"Southern Xinjiang!"

Ren Ye instinctively thought of these two words in his mind.

At this moment, a cold star gate reminder sounded.

[You found two lambs that were poisoned. A conspiracy against your secret place is slowly unfolding.]

[Your Highness Prince Huai, you have received a new Star Gate mission - the source of the plague. ]

[Mission objective: Investigate the truth of the conspiracy and find the poisoner. It is up to you to decide whether to kill him or bring him back to Qingliang Mansion to give an explanation to the people.]

[Mission difficulty: C level.]

Four voices flashed in my ears and gradually became inaudible.

Ren Ye was stunned in the same place. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly said, "The lame man who delivered the horse."

"Cripple?"

"Yes, how do you know the lame man who delivered the horse?" Ren Ye turned around and looked at Brother Huang, asking urgently.
