Knight of the Blue Lagoon (The Past of Tao v)

54. Medicine:

Human life is of the utmost importance, and if you have a lot of money, it is more virtuous than this.

Nan Taiyi led them to read the medical books day and night. Although there were similar records, they were all descriptions of simple illnesses. What was certain was that this was not an evil spirit, but an infectious disease. Nothing else was known about Taoism. For them, this is already an improvement.

Every night they would gather together to summarize the discussion, which was even more tense than on the battlefield. One doctor asked:"Is this solution not feasible?"

"It is an infectious disease and must be completely isolated"

"Maybe the method is not appropriate"

"Well, I also think there may be something we have overlooked"

……

Nan Taiyi finally said:"As long as the transmission route is found, the infection can be blocked. The infection is nothing more than blood, direct contact, and airborne transmission. If it is airborne infection, the death will not be on this scale. The deceased did not bleed. It may be skin contact or mosquitoes passing through." Blood infection. There is no problem in the direction of isolation. Now it seems that the method may not be appropriate. After entering the city, dozens of people gathered in a courtyard. The space is limited and the air is not as smooth as outside the city. It is easier to infect each other, and the people in the city are infected. The risk is also high."

The other doctors felt that what Dr. Nan said was reasonable, and Dr. Li nodded. Then, under the leadership of Dr. Nan, after careful discussion, an improved isolation method was decided:"All victims will be temporarily Without entering the city, there is a lot of space outside the city. First use the tents of the Dongfu Army to set up independent camps outside the city. Food will be delivered by special personnel. No matter where the disaster victims are, no matter how many people come, they will not be refused. They will be placed in the camps first. , to ensure that they have food and clothing. They will be observed in a camp outside the city for 7 days. If there is no problem, they will be moved to the city for resettlement. They will be further observed for 7 days. If there are no symptoms after 14 days, there will be no more problems. The city adopts a confinement policy. Notices were posted to suspend all movement of people between counties, all markets and other commercial activities were temporarily suspended, and households were not allowed to go out unless there was something wrong."

Spring has come, and the winter wind is still blowing, without any warmth, but more so. It's cold at night, the wind is howling and the bonfire is roaring. When Daozhi came outside the city, he saw the number of corpses piled up for burning. He looked worriedly at the tents in the distance. Everyone felt very unhappy.

Li Langzhong comforted him:"Sir, although we can't find a treatment, I believe Nan Taiyi's method can block the expansion, but it won't be effective immediately. It will definitely be able to stop this.""

"Chenzhou is not far from Dongfu. If it cannot be blocked here, Dongdu is the hub of Dongfu Kingdom. It will be difficult to block it anymore. By then, I am afraid that the country will be destroyed."Daozhi

"Sir, since it is a disease, there will be medicine and stones that can cure it. Nan Taiyi is proficient in medicine and stones, and I believe there will be a solution given time."Li Langzhong comforted

"Yes, sir, since it is a disease, there must be a way to cure it."Cheng Gang.

The first time he burned the corpse, Warlock Yuan followed him furtively. When he saw Dao Zhi coming this time, he suddenly jumped out and said,"I don't think so. Evil spirits cannot be cured by medicine or stone.""

"What do you think?"Cheng Gang

"Only when the female governor dies can the evil spirit be eliminated."Yuan Warlock

"Death, death, death is not enough. Official of the imperial court, how could you, a monster like you, make such arrogant judgments? Come, pull him down and behead him."Suosuo ordered, everyone was in a bad mood. Yuan Warlock's words made people angry.

"Forget it, he is also a citizen of Chenzhou, and Chenzhou's yin energy is already very strong."The road stops

"This place will surely destroy all life.……"Warlock Yuan still didn't understand and continued talking.

"Shut up. If you don't shut up, I'll cut out your tongue."Suosuo drew out his sword.

After a moment of silence, the fire for burning the corpse lit up. Warlock Yuan picked up a branch and waved it in a dance, saying in his mouth:"At auspicious times, the heaven and earth are open, Luban is making houses, and he dare not stop the mourning. A sword Bai Rushuang, Laojun has made it into steel over a long period of time. He sent my disciples to take it in their hands and kill people who died of illness in the world. People mourn and die in mourning. The evil master dies in mourning. This mourning is not an extraordinary mourning. It turns into a boiled fish to swallow. Hidden corpses, those who make me mourn will be mourned, and those who stand in my way will be mourned. The disciples are sent out today, and there will be no disaster for thousands of years... I serve the Supreme Lord, and I am as urgent as a law. The ancestor rises in the clouds.……"

Everyone watched the fire quietly. After Yuan Warlock finished his dance, a soldier reported:"Sir, every time we bring a corpse to burn, he will come and say that he will give salvation to the deceased.""

"Let him transcend."Tao Zhi.

The firelight was particularly dazzling. Originally, they were living lives. Everything was reduced to dust in the fire, covering the land full of death.

Liu Kuaishou never entered the city. He chose to stay outside the city to comfort the victims. Seven days later, Warlock Yuan was forcibly sent to the city. Suosuo kept him in an isolation area alone, but still did not shut his mouth. Every day he heard crying, every day doctors came in a hurry, and every day he heard the heavy lifting of corpses. Whenever he heard the sound of someone approaching, whether it was patrolling guards, soldiers carrying corpses, or people delivering food, Warlock Yuan would say that his set of fallacies about female governors arousing evil spirits, and if anyone stopped, they would He asked about the number of dead, and then asked to go out to help save the souls. Later, the guards stayed far away from him, and people who passed by would walk a few steps quickly. This time Dao Zhi and the others came to check, and Warlock Yuan heard someone coming and started shouting again:"Escape." Unless the female governor dies, and the evil spirit doesn’t go away, everyone will die.……"

Susu stopped and the guard reported that Warlock Yuan shouted like this when he saw someone. Suosuo stepped forward and said:"General, if this person is let out and keeps talking nonsense, it's not a solution. Let's just kill him. It's not like that anyway." What a good man."

Daozhi suddenly remembered that someone mentioned the sorcerer in Chenzhou when he was investigating the parade in the south. Could it be this person? Daozhi thought for a while:"Ignore him, if he has the strength, let him shout"

"General, will it have any negative impact?"Cheng Gang

"The people who survived would not believe it could have any impact."Daozhi

"Just let him yell randomly?"Suosuo."

Dao Zhi thought for a while:"Let him shout. It's quite uncomfortable to be locked up. Let him shout if he's not tired.""

The Southern Imperial Physician found out from other ancient books:"When there is a big epidemic in Guanzhong, Doumo is burned, and the Queen Mother of the West descends, and the epidemic stops... Doumo incense is made from grinding Doumo grass... Burn the incense at the palace gate, and the aroma stretches for hundreds of miles, and it burns away The bad gas can eliminate diseases and epidemics, and it has miraculous effects."We also found records of moon-branched incense:"There was a great epidemic in the Eastern Capital, and many people in the palace were sick. They burned it to ward off the epidemic and drive away evil spirits for hundreds of miles, and the king of blessings came.……"

Nantai physician ordered people to immediately search for aloe vera and crescent grass, grind them to make incense, and light them around the tents outside the city and in front of every house in the city. He also soaked alba and crescent grass in warm water to make a potion. Wash your hands and face, apply it on the masked cloth and clothes, then burn it with bluestone to make ash powder (lime), grind it into powder and sprinkle it around the tent, the city gate and the road along the street, and then sprinkle water.

In the breeze, the fragrance diffused in Chenzhou City and the light smoke lingered in the sky, giving people a sense of sadness and mourning. The whole Chenzhou seemed to have become a cemetery, and every day was the Qingming Festival and Double Ninth Festival.

The number of victims coming from outside the city decreased day by day until there were no more people and the situation became stable. Dao Zhi planned to go out of the city to check

"My lord, I would like to go."Liu Staff volunteered to

"The victims here need you and they trust you."Daozhi

"Sir, I want to go back and see the people of Wu County."Liu Liu insisted, it is rare for someone to care about the blind date between his parents.

Li Langzhong also took the initiative to ask to go. Daozhi did not let Su Su go. Su Su was very insistent. Daozhi understood that it was because of the guilt in her heart. Su Su felt sad. After leaving, Chenggang asked:"General, Su Su is also sincere, why don't you let her go with you?"

"You may notice that most of the victims who came were young adults and children."Daozhi's tone was low.

"The general was afraid that Susu would be unbearable when he saw the deaths along the way."Chenggang's tone was sad.

"After all, Su Su has never experienced the battlefield."Dao Zhi.

Cheng just went to Su Su to discuss the resettlement of the victims. They arranged for the victims after observation to go to the Tianpu Society for farming. They were dressed in black and covered with white cloth. They didn't go far when they saw the bodies on the roadside. They piled up and burned the corpses along the way, and sprinkled some ash powder nearby. The further they went, the more corpses there were, and their hearts became heavier. The crows kept wailing in the treetops, and the sound pierced the sky and penetrated everything, as if Summon the undead.
