So far, no one knows what happened to the plague that ravaged half of the Ming Dynasty, and people used to call this plague pimple plague.

Because infected people usually have lumps of fat on the neck or armpits, which is caused by swollen lymph nodes.

But now people don't know what lymph nodes are, let alone that this is the plague transmitted from rats to humans, and there is not even the concept of bacteria, and they don't know that bacteria can spread in the air.

Because Weishenme didn't know it, but people were infected with the plague and died under inexplicable circumstances, the people thought that the epidemic of the plague was spread by the evil ghosts and plague gods.

There are even scholars who record the scene when the great plague occurred in Beijing like this: The great plague in Beijing is a mixed mix of people and ghosts. Twilight screen is not good. Traders get more paper money, put water into it, sound money, silent paper. They even walked on the walls and roofs during the day, teasing the inhabitants. Every night, they cry and roar bitterly, and they hear the sound and chase the shadow

This account mainly says that there are too many dead people, and during the day, ghosts can be seen everywhere in the city, and rows of ghosts walking on the rooftops are really creepy. Even the readers are so convincing, let alone what ordinary people think in their hearts.

At that time, rumors about all kinds of ghosts and monsters in Beijing were flying all over the sky, and at night, the people knocked on copper and iron tools all night to drive away ghosts, "the sound reached nine times", and the officials could not stop it, and even held various Dharma fields to drive away ghosts.

Qin Mu proposed to go to Daning Village, where the plague occurred, to worship the gods and exorcise ghosts, not that he believed that there were really ghosts, in terms of epidemic prevention, some of the epidemic prevention measures he knew in later generations were all used, and everything he could did was done. Now it is necessary to make a gesture in the manner of this era to appease the panicked people.

As a descendant, he knows what the plague is, knows that there are bacteria, and knows what it means to have swollen lymph nodes, but the people of the Ming Dynasty don't know, can you explain it to them one by one? Can you explain it to them?

You go and tell the common people about this. I'm afraid that people will only think that you are a nervous god.

It can't be explained, but the morale of the army and the people must be appeased as soon as possible, you must know that it has now entered February, and it will soon be the season of spring ploughing.

However, Zhuge Min and others resolutely opposed Qin Mu going to Daning Village, as one of Qin Mu's core staff, Zhuge Min is now in charge of half of Huguang's government affairs, and his power is no less than that of the original political envoy;

And all his power is given by Qin Mu, in case Qin Mu has an accident. He, Zhuge Min, was nothing, so he would not agree to Qin Mu risking his life no matter what.

In this matter, Qin Mu didn't insist too much, in fact, according to the requirements of Zhuge Min and others, it may be better to set up a dojo in Xiangyin County to worship gods and exorcise ghosts, because Daning Village has been blocked, and no one outside dares to approach, and this dojo was originally made for the people to see. If you do it in the county, you will always see more people.

In this era, the people were not intelligent, the medical conditions were poor, and the people were extremely afraid of this terrible plague. I don't know where the plague came from, so everyone in the world thinks that the plague is spread by the plague god.

In folk legends, there are five plague gods, namely Zhang Yuanbo, the spring plague. Liu Yuanda, Liu Yuanda, Zhao Gongming, and Zhong Shigui, winter. In charge of the plague history and literature.

According to the direction of the five elements, these five plague gods are divided into:

Liu Yuanda, the ghost of the Oriental Green Plague, the essence of the wood, leads ten thousand ghosts to do the disease of evil winds.

Zhang Yuanbo, the ghost of the southern red plague, is the essence of fire, leading ten thousand ghosts to carry out heat and poison diseases.

Zhao Gongming, the white plague ghost in the West, the essence of gold, leads ten thousand ghosts to inject qi.

Zhong Shiji, the black plague ghost in the north, is the essence of water, leading ten thousand ghosts to commit vicious diseases;

The central yellow plague ghost Shi Wenye, the spirit of the soil, led ten thousand ghosts to do evil sores and carbuncles.

It is now early spring in February, and the initial symptom of the plague is just the fever of the body, according to these folk legends, the spring plague Zhang Yuanbo was entangled by the governor of Qin, it's you, it's you, you don't want to run, Lao Tzu has to blow you up this time.

At noon on this day, the sky was overcast, and there were gongs in Xiangyin City, and an ugly-looking Zhang Yuanbo made of mud was tied with a big rope of five flowers, and was carried to the south gate by the soldiers with bright armor.

Qin Mu was dressed in a second-grade official uniform, carrying a giant sword, and led He Tengjiao, Zhuge Min, Li Yingxin and other officials of all sizes to walk behind, as if escorting a prisoner to the execution ground.

This strange scene attracted the people of Xiangyin City to watch and discuss, but people did not praise Qin Mu's bravery, let alone rejoice that he "caught" the plague god.

On the contrary, the people who saw this scene all showed panicked expressions, and even whispered accusations against Qin Mulai.

When he walked near the south gate, a white-haired old man with a group of people stopped Qin Mu and his party, knelt down in front of Qin Mu and cried with tears in his eyes: "Lord Qin, Lord Qin, no, this will offend the plague god, anger the plague god, and we Xiangyin people are afraid that they will all suffer."

"Yes, yes, Lord Qin, quickly untie the plague god."

"Everyone prepares three more animals to make amends to the plague god"

“”

The scene was chaotic for a while, and a large number of people knelt down on the side of the street, and everyone kept kowtowing and crying, including some students from the county school.

Qin Mu's eyes were sharp, "Qiang! He pulled out the giant sword, and shouted loudly with a finger in the sky: "Do you know that this official is holding an ancient divine soldier in his hand, which can drive away evil gods and demons, and kill green demons and white ghosts!" ”

The people who fell to the ground listened to Qin Mu's shout and looked at the giant sword in his hand in unison.

The dark light of the sword body flowed, like a swimming dragon, dazzling people's eyes.

The news of Qin Mu digging up the ancient divine weapon in Huichang has been widely spread, and everyone has heard of it, and today it is only today that this extra-large giant sword is really seen.

The swords that the people usually see are made of steel, but Qin Mu's giant sword is made of copper and some unknown substances, which is not only tough and sharp, but also reflects the light golden, which is extremely rare nowadays.

People couldn't help but be a little surprised when they looked at this giant sword with flowing golden light, and they didn't know whether to believe Qin Mu or not for a while.

Qin Mu casually waved a sword flower, and then continued to shout: "This official also has only one life, if he is not completely sure to subdue this evil god, how dare he blame him indiscriminately?" Hurry up, everyone, if you are interested, go out of the city with this official, and see how this official punishes this evil that plagues the world. ”

The people kneeling on the ground didn't get up, they didn't get up, but Qin Mu didn't care about them, and yelled at the soldiers in front of him: "What are you waiting for, if you don't follow the order of this official to escort this plague god out of the south gate, this official has to severely punish this official today." ”

Under the guidance of gongs and drums, the soldiers carrying the plague god Zhang Yuanbo continued to march towards the south gate, and Qin Mu followed closely behind the "plague god" with a sword, and chanted loudly:

There are thousands of willows in the spring breeze, and hundreds of millions of dollars in Shenzhou are all in Shunyao.

The red rain turns into waves at will, and the green mountains turn into bridges.

The silver hoe of the five mountains of the sky fell, and the earth shook the iron arm of the three rivers.

By asking the plague gentleman what he wanted, the paper boat burned brightly.

This poem expresses a kind of high-spirited and impassioned feelings, and it also makes the mountains bow their heads, make the river give way, and completely wipe out the plague god who chokes people's fate.

In the past, Zhuge Min didn't believe all kinds of magical legends about Qin Mu in their hearts, but at this moment, they couldn't help but feel a little different when they looked at Qin Mu's eyes, even the saints just avoided talking about ghosts and gods, and maybe only Qin Mu in this world had the courage and courage to despise gods and demons.

As if in order to cooperate with Qin Mu's chanting, the Taoist priests on both sides raised their heads and sprayed incense, and the flames rushed up several feet high, creating a secret and warm atmosphere.

Severely punish the plague god, this matter has never been seen for a long time, the people of Xiangyin City can't help but follow suit, and follow out of the south gate, the team is like a long dragon, crowded, and the buzzing discussion is like a thin wave churning, one after another.

"Did you see that? Lord Qin's sword was on the golden dragon's shadow, and the shadow was swimming. ”

"Just your eyes, who hasn't seen it?"

"I have long heard that Lord Qin is Ziweixing, and it seems that it can't be faked."

"Needless to say, if it were an ordinary person, who would dare to offend the plague god like this? Or tie it with a big rope."

"I see, it's better for everyone not to talk too much about this matter, I always have no bottom in my heart, what if Lord Qin fails to subdue the plague god? Alas! ”

"yes, yes, let's take a look first."
