Celestial being

Entering the city, Yuan Ming found that the situation inside was more serious than he imagined. There were dead bodies everywhere in the streets and alleys, some of which were rotting and smelly.

Along the way, we encountered two medical clinics and a government office, both of which were filled with piles of corpses. It was extremely miserable.

There are more dead people than living people visible in the city.

Yuan Ming came here with medicine to eliminate the plague. He originally wanted to put it into the well water and let the people in the town drink the water to get rid of the disease, but in this current situation, it was naturally impossible.

With his own efforts, it is impossible to give medicine and treat each of them.

So Yuan Ming found a house, briefly cleaned up the corpses inside, took out the incense-making materials he had purchased earlier, and started getting busy.

By evening, he had made several new incense sticks with a light yellow color.

The basic materials of these incense are still the same as those used to make mist incense, but they are made by adding some medicinal powder to eliminate plague and combining them with some special refining techniques written in the secret book of spiritual incense.

After completing the production of anti-epidemic incense, Yuan Ming took the incense to an open space in the center of Hekou Town and pointed at the center of his eyebrows.

Four soul crows flew out respectively, three of them landed on the three recently deceased corpses around him, and the remaining one flew high into the sky above his head to guard the surroundings for him.

After the soul crow submerged, the three corpses' eyes lit up with two faint green lights, and they climbed up unsteadily and walked to Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming gave each of them a piece of anti-epidemic incense and asked them to carry it in three directions of the town. He held the Stealing Heaven Cauldron, put in the anti-epidemic incense, and sat in the center.

When the four corpses reached the appropriate position, Yuan Ming controlled them to light the incense together with him.

After the anti-epidemic incense was lit, within a moment, large clouds of yellow smoke began to rise from all over Hekou Town, and it didn't take long for the billowing smoke to engulf the entire town.

In the thick smoke, the people who were already dying thought they had perished and arrived in the netherworld.

But with their current physical condition, they were unable to avoid it, so they simply ignored it.

But after inhaling the thick smoke, everyone felt refreshed and no longer depressed as before. For a moment, they didn't know if they were having a flashback before death or if they were really healed.

After a long time, when the thick smoke gradually dissipated, all the people still alive in the city had been cleared of the disease. When they saw their surroundings again and found that they were still in the town, they all cried with joy, and the cries resounded throughout the entire city. small town.

Yuan Ming had already put away the Heaven-stealing Cauldron at this moment, and all four soul crows flew back into his body.

After being promoted to Foundation Establishment, his soul power increased greatly. Now, even if he releases all six soul crows, it will no longer be a big burden on his soul power consumption.

After Yuan Ming adjusted his breath for a while, he returned to normal.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that some people who had recovered were already gathering around him.

These people are still very weak, and some need to support each other to barely stand.

But when they heard a child who had seen the whole process of Yuan Ming casting the spell say that the savior was here, they all gathered around.

"Kneel down and thank the Immortal Master for saving your life."

I don't know who it was, but the first person shouted, and someone immediately responded.

Immediately afterwards, the crowd shouted "Kneel down to thank the Immortal Master for saving his life", and then some people knelt down and kowtowed towards Yuan Ming.

"You have just recovered from the epidemic and your bodies are still weak. Don't bother to kneel and worship here. Go back quickly to eat and recuperate. After that, you have to properly deal with the corpses of your loved ones. Go back." Yuan Ming had no choice but to shout.

However, there were still people who survived around, approaching this side, and then bowed down and thanked them.

Yuan Ming knew that he could not be persuaded, so he raised his hand and patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, released the Qingyun Crane, and immediately stepped on it, riding the crane into the sky.

"It's an immortal, it's really an immortal..."

"Thank you Immortal Master for saving your life."

"We are saved!"

The people in the open space in the town became more and more excited.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming had no choice but to leave first.

After watching Yuan Ming leave, the common people who had walked through the gate of hell got up one after another.

An originally quite prestigious clan elder suddenly spoke and said to everyone: "Immortals don't ask for anything in return. They show their kindness and then leave. We are not ungrateful people. We should build a shrine to the immortals and offer incense."

"Yes, we must build a shrine for the Immortal Master! Cast a monument and establish a biography!" Someone immediately responded.

"Lu Xiucai, are you still alive?" The clan leader shouted with a sigh of relief.

"Uncle, he's alive, I'm still alive." A scholar in the crowd responded immediately.

"Have you seen the appearance of the Immortal Master clearly? Go back and draw a portrait, and we will make a statue of the god as a reference." The clan elder shouted.

When Lu Xiucai heard this, he felt a little embarrassed. The immortal master was wearing a bamboo hat and could not see his appearance clearly, but he could only accept it bravely.

In later generations, there was a temple named "Epidemic Elimination Temple" in Hekou Town. Inside, there was a statue wearing a bamboo hat and standing on a crane. Although it was not officially canonized by the government, it was still very popular, and many people even Traveling thousands of miles to come here, we have been here for hundreds of years.

This is a later story, so let’s not mention it for the moment. After this short episode, Yuan Ming flew away from Hekou Town on Qingyun Crane and continued heading north.

Along the way, he studied the spiritual incense secret book carefully and found that there were many spiritual incense in it that could cure diseases, save people and maintain health. Most of them had weak effects on immortal cultivators, but they were rare panaceas for ordinary people.

In addition, the materials used were very common, so Yuan Ming refined some of them one by one while practicing, making his incense refining skills more and more proficient. He also used incense to apply to the poor and sick people he encountered along the way. After receiving treatment, I felt at ease.

After traveling like this, Yuan Ming finally arrived at Haiyan City, a city in the northeast of Yue Kingdom near the East China Sea.

When they parted ways in Black Rock City, Wulu said that he would come here to cultivate for a while, and even invited Yuan Ming to come with him.

However, Yuan Ming was determined to return to Jin Dynasty and had other arrangements, so he did not agree.

Now that I have arrived at Haiyan City, I want to see Ulu again, and it just so happens that he also has something to ask for.

Haiyan City is at the entrance of a river called Haihe in the Yue Kingdom. The city was named after the river, clear and Haiyan. In addition to the most famous scene of "waves hitting the cliff", there is also the river and sea on August 15th every year. Spring tide.

The season is wrong now, and there is no magnificent tide in sight.

However, Yuan Ming naturally has no intention of doing this, as long as he can see Wulu.

Entering Haiyan City, Yuan Ming found that regardless of the size of the city, the prosperity of the city was no worse than the capital city of Jin.

There are branches and trickles of the Haihe River running through the city. The water system is rich and distributed in a network in the city, forming a unique landscape of street buildings distributed along the river.

The folk customs and even the architectural style of southern Vietnam are still similar to those of southern Xinjiang, and some traces are still preserved in the central part. By the time Haiyan City in the north is reached, it has completely become the style of the Central Plains.

Various architectural archways are lined up in rows, and hooked railings and tiles are scattered among them, making it look noisy and full of fireworks.

When Yuan Ming entered the city, he did not go to Wulu immediately. Instead, he first found a Goulan area, drank tea, listened to music, and relaxed.

When he was in the capital of Jin Dynasty, he often went back to Goulan to listen to music. Occasionally he would write lyrics and compose music by himself, but the number was not as many as picture albums and storybooks. To this day, Yuan Ming's lyrics and music are still circulating in Jin Dynasty.

In the afternoon, Yuan Ming took a nice bath in the inn and put on new clothes before going out and heading to the famous sea-viewing cliff in the east of the city.

Regarding Wulu's whereabouts, Yuan Ming had already found out through the possession of the Tiantian Cauldron before he came to Haiyan City.

He lives on the edge of Wanghai Cliff, in a cliff inn facing the East China Sea. It has the best view of the sea tide in the entire Haiyan City. From a high position, he can see the spectacular scenery of the waves hitting the cliff and rolling up thousands of waves.

When Yuan Ming found Wulu, the latter was sitting on the second floor of the restaurant of Guanhailou Inn, at a window facing the seaside. He ordered a few side dishes and ate to himself, obviously having a very comfortable time.

When he saw Yuan Ming sitting opposite him, Wulu was obviously stunned, obviously in disbelief.

"Brother Yuan..."

"Brother Wulu, you're fine." Yuan Ming said with a smile.

"Brother Yuan, it's really you! What a coincidence!" Wulu was stunned for a moment while holding the wine glass, and suddenly felt infinite joy in his heart.

This joy of "reuniting after a long absence" combined with the surprise of "meeting an old friend in a foreign land" gave him a somewhat unreal illusion when he saw Yuan Ming.

And the reason why he has such big mood swings is actually not entirely the result of these two emotions.

In fact, when Yuan Ming decided to set out to find Ulu, he had used the Heaven-stealing Cauldron to incense him three times in a row to possess him. And every time he possessed him, Yuan Ming relied on the power of the black incense to continuously hint. Ulu considers himself a lifelong confidant.

So much so that Wulu once felt that he had a mental problem and would always think of Yuan Ming inexplicably.

However, for some reason, the black incense made from Xuanhua Guanxiang ash is much weaker in terms of psychological suggestion than the incense ash previously obtained from Liu Xinzong. However, Liu Xinzong's incense ash was too small, and it was not used before. Already used up.

"Why are you here?" Ulu asked, somewhat surprised.

"When I returned to Dajin from the north, something unexpected happened on the way, so I temporarily changed my route and took a detour across the country. Since I knew that Brother Wulu was here, how could I not come and get together?" Yuan Ming said with a smile.

"Then how do you know I'm eating here?" Ulu said.

"It happened to me. I saw the beautiful scenery here, but I didn't expect to meet you." Yuan Ming said.

"What happened on your way?" Ulu frowned.

"I met old debtors near Tiehu Town, and I happened to collect some interest from their debts." Yuan Ming nodded and said.

Wulu looked at Yuan Ming carefully, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he said in surprise: "Brother Yuan, you have already established a foundation?"
