Origin

After silence, Wu Zhongyuan finally broke the deadlock, "What do you think of this?"

The old blind man didn't answer, so Wu Di spoke up and said, "In my opinion, the most urgent task is to determine whether these strange beasts and poisonous insects were summoned by the Beast King. If so, it is necessary to determine the purpose of the Beast King's move."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded slightly, then selected Da Kuang's memorial from the many bamboo slips and read it again, "What do you think of Da Kuang's memorial?"

"Ordinary illnesses do not cause patients to go crazy and bite people. It cannot be ruled out that it is corpse poison." Wu Di said.

"Probably not," the old blind man shook his head and said, "Wu Baiye is mature, stable and insightful. If it is really corpse poison, he should be able to see it and there is no reason to hide it and delay it."

"This matter is not trivial. I have to go to Da Kuang in person to meet Wu Baiye." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Seeing that the two of them had no objection, Wu Zhongyuan left his seat and stood up, "You should pay close attention to the memorials submitted by the various cities. If you find any abnormalities, screen them out immediately."

The two nodded in agreement.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't waste any time and teleported away after finishing the explanation.

The place where he appeared was the square in front of the morning meeting hall of Da Kuang. Near the morning meeting hall, there was a low-level warrior leading a craftsman to repair the roof of the morning meeting hall. This low-level warrior had seen Wu Zhongyuan near Shagu that day and saw him. When he arrived, he hurried forward to greet him.

After asking this low-level warrior, Wu Zhongyuan learned that Wu Baiye was not in the city, but had gone out early yesterday. As for where Wu Baiye went, this low-level warrior did not know.

At this time, the city lords of Yuancheng had great power, integrating military and political affairs, but they could not act arbitrarily. They were not allowed to go to the capital without being summoned, and without the approval of the Yellow Emperor, the lords of Yuancheng were not allowed to leave their city. After contacting the memorial he had seen before, Wu Zhongyuan guessed where Wu Baiye had gone. After asking for the specific locations of the two sieges, he left Da Kuang and headed westward.

There are two ways to teleport, one is to go wherever you want, and the other is to go wherever you see. Wu Zhongyuan is using the second method at this time. He has never been to those two besieged cities before. , unable to go instantly, can only teleport within a short distance within visual range.

After half a stick of incense, Wu Zhongyuan rushed to the besieged city called Dongling and found that there were two villages with strange diseases, namely Xiling and Dongling. There was only a mountain between the two besieged cities.

A long way away, Wu Zhongyuan could see the thick smoke, and a few miles closer, he could smell the stench of burning. This was the peculiar smell of burning corpses, which was nauseating.

Thick smoke appeared in the open space on the east side of Dongling. A group of people stood next to the burning bonfire, including Wu Baiye, the lord of Dakuang City.

It was already early winter and it was cold in the north. Wu Baiye stood upwind wearing a big purple cloak with dragons on it. Standing around him were more than a dozen red and blue warriors. Everyone stared at the blazing fire with expressions on their faces. dignified.

There were a large number of burned, huddled corpses piled on the fire, with a visual estimate of more than twenty.

Wu Zhongyuan did not deliberately hide his figure and appeared directly in the open area where the fire was.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan arriving, Wu Baiye was a little surprised and hurriedly led the crowd to greet him.

Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand to signal everyone to stand up, then turned to Wu Baiye and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, there must be a plague here." Wu Baiye said.

"Presumably?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned and looked sideways.

Wu Baiye was a little embarrassed, "My subordinates are ignorant and it is difficult to tell the details. Many of these strange diseases are weird, resembling plague and corpse poison. It is said to be a plague, but the people infected with the disease are thirsty for blood and hurt others. It is said to be corpse poison, poisoning. But not all of them were bitten by others."

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan frowning, Wu Baiye pointed at the fire and explained in detail, "Most of the tribesmen who died suddenly became ill, and they had not been bitten by anyone who was infected before the onset of the disease."

"How did these people die?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"These people have lost their minds, disown their relatives, go crazy and hurt others. It is difficult to cure them. I can only do everything possible to avoid harming innocent people." Wu Baiye sighed after finishing speaking.

Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Wu Baiye and asked, "You arrived yesterday. Did you find anything after tracing?"

"Yes," Wu Baiye answered in the affirmative, "the people who are sick in Dongling live on the west side of the besieged city, while those who are sick on Xiling live on the east side of the besieged city. I suspect that the problem lies between the two besieged cities. That mountain peak in between.”

Hearing Wu Baiye's words, Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at the mountain peak between the two besieged cities. It was a relatively gentle mountain peak, slightly bald and flat, not steep, and the trees in the mountain were not dense, but rather sparse.

It is difficult to hide anything with a mountain peak like this, but now that we are here, it is necessary to explore the peak between the two besieged cities.

When Wu Zhongyuan turned to look west, Wu Baiye said again, "My subordinates once went into the mountain to explore the cause and found that there was a deep pool in the mountain with a water eye underneath. The water overflowed and there was no way to vent it. It had to be diverted to the east and west sides. People with the disease in Dongling and people with the disease in Xiling probably drank the water flowing out of the pool during their lifetimes."

While Wu Baiye was talking, Wu Zhongyuan had completed sensing the aura of Xishan and found that there was no abnormal aura in Xishan. Even the water pool Wu Baiye mentioned was not overlooked, but the water pool was very small, only three feet square. It is unlikely that such a small water pool could hide evil things. The most important thing is that he did not sense the water pool. There is an abnormal smell.

"Let's go and have a look at Xishan." Wu Zhongyuan lifted off the ground and flew towards Xishan.

Wu Baiye followed immediately, and several other blue energy warriors followed.

"Is there anyone infected with the disease in the two besieged cities right now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked Wu Baiye while flying over.

Wu Baiye shook his head, "This strange disease is very overbearing. There were only two or three people the day before, but today there are forty or fifty. Even the doctors sent earlier were infected with the strange disease. For fear of spreading the infection, my subordinates had no choice but to cut off their wrists. Eradicate it by the roots.”

While Wu Baiye was speaking, he kept peeking at Wu Zhongyuan from the corner of his eye, anxiously wanting to know what he thought of his move, but Wu Zhongyuan did not express his position clearly, neither saying that he did the right thing nor criticizing him.

Dongling is located on the east side of the mountain. After a while, Wu Zhongyuan came to the pool Wu Baiye was talking about. It was a deep pool surrounded by bluestones. The water eyes came out of the cracks in the rocks. The overflowing spring water was very clear and rich. The meaning of Qingquan Stone is upstream.

Wu Zhongyuan was not afraid of poisons and tried to drink water. Wu Baiye saw the souls coming out and hurriedly tried to stop him, but Wu Zhongyuan had already taken a sip.

"Your Majesty, never put yourself in danger." Wu Baiye tried to dissuade him.

Wu Zhongyuan spit out the spring water in his mouth and stood up, "There is something in the water..."
