I have an eternal eye

The mountain road is muddy after the rain.

The men and horses moved forward with difficulty. Every time they took a step, mud flew up under their feet. The wheels squeaked and fell into mud pits at every turn.

On both sides of the road, towering dense forests blocked the light, and thick fog shrouded the area, making it necessary to carry torches during the day.

"Master Immortal, I didn't think carefully."

Zheng Yongxiang's face looked a little ugly, "I thought the road to Duliang Mountain was close, but I didn't expect that no one had walked on it for several months, and it turned out to be like this."

Zhang Biao waved his hand slightly, "It doesn't matter, the mountain road is already difficult to travel after the rain, and other roads are not much better. On the contrary, they have to take a long detour."

After getting the news from Lingchong, he sent someone to inform Zheng Yongxiang that day and gathered a team to go to Lushan City the next day.

The road to Duliang Mountain was the closest. Although Xuandu Temple ordered it to be blocked, it would not block them. However, they did not expect that the mountain road had been destroyed by weeds over the past few months.

"That's what the Immortal said."

Seeing that Zhang Biao didn't blame him, Zheng Yongxiang breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to the back: "Be careful, don't break anything."

This time he brought hundreds of people, all of whom were experts from the clan, to participate in the auction and to open up business avenues.

Inside the wooden box of the carriage are all boxes made of polished stone and jade from Qingfeng Village. They are available in various shapes. They are best used to store medicinal materials and can barely be regarded as cultivation items.

This thing is just a test.

There were few people in Qingfeng Village, so Zhang Biao promised that if he made any spiritual goods in the future, he would sell them to him.

As for what to sell, Zhang Biao already had a plan in mind.

The divine realm that Liu Ling created in the spiritual world can be used to plant some medicinal herbs, such as the Awakening Grass. The seeds he collected in the Dragon Corpse Medicine Field came in handy.

Also, the bones of those killed wild monsters and river monsters can also be made into amulets according to the Yin Talisman Beading Method.

Maybe monks don't like it, but it is very useful to mortals. Walking on mountain roads can avoid some evil spirits in advance.

Not to make money, just to exchange some materials from the market.

The mountain road is difficult, and it is even more difficult after rain. In addition, the heavy fog obscures the vision and the vision is dim. Without the protection of the monks, it is difficult for the mortal caravan to move forward.

Zhang Biao wore a Nuo mask on his head, so he was naturally not affected.

He looked up and saw that the surrounding mountains were green and full of strange peaks and canyons. There were old apes climbing on the cliffs and birds crossing in the clouds and mist.

And they were walking on the rugged road in the winding mountains.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhang Biao said, "Everyone, hold on a little longer and find a place to set up camp."

Zheng Yongxiang hurriedly said: "Master Immortal, if I remember correctly, there is an inn ten miles ahead. After the Duliang Mountain Road was blocked, it should have been abandoned and it is a good time to set up camp."

"Okay, work harder!"

"Look at your feet..."

Everyone cheered up and sped up.

But as the saying goes, haste leads to waste, and they encountered a landslide on the way. Fortunately, Zhang Biao noticed it in advance and escaped.

Because of this, it was already nightfall after leaving the winding mountain road.

It was pitch dark all around. They were holding torches and moving forward. Strange roars echoed from time to time in the mountains in the distance. Even with Zhang Biao beside them, everyone was still frightened.

"We're here, right in front!"

Zheng Yongxiang opened the stone monument on the roadside and led the team around a ridge. The road was finally much easier to walk, and it turned out to be an ancient mottled bluestone road.

"This is Gu Yan's marching road."

Zheng Yongxiang explained to Zhang Biao: "Exian Chang, we have left Duliang Mountain. From here to the north, we can go directly to Yunxia Pass, which borders Luzhou."

"There is a war in Luzhou now. In order to prevent the rebel army from attacking, the King of Huaizhou has sent people to guard the gate, while my Zheng family is responsible for supplying food and grass..."

As he was speaking, his eyes suddenly widened.

Just as we rounded the ridge, we saw a little firelight on the hillside a hundred meters away, which looked dim and yellow through the thick fog.

"Is there anyone at the inn?"

Zheng Yongxiang was really surprised.

Zhang Biao also frowned and said thoughtfully: "It doesn't matter, let's take a look and talk about it later."

Everyone was alert and moved forward carefully.

Before he even got close, he smelled the scent of meat.

"Someone is making soup..."

A disciple of the Zheng family smelled it and said, "It smells good. I remember the shop owner's surname is Feng. The craftsmanship has improved again."

"I just know how to eat!"

Zheng Yongxiang slapped him hard on the back of the head and said with an ugly expression: "Who makes soup in the middle of the night? The smell is not right."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the inn instantly went out.

call out!

In the darkness, a cold arrow suddenly struck.

Zhang Biao waved his hand and grabbed it, and the arrow that hit the front door fell into his hand immediately. He looked down and frowned: "The armor-piercing arrow belongs to the army."

Ordinary arrows are all cone-shaped arrows. Armor-piercing arrows are only used when it is necessary to penetrate enemy armor on the battlefield.

Whoosh!

Before he finished speaking, there were constant arrows coming from behind in the dark night.

Hearing that it was not evil, the children of the Zheng family lost their fear. Some people raised wooden shields to block the front, while the rest, led by Zheng Yongxiang, took advantage of the darkness to touch up from both sides.

Zhang Biao was too lazy to take action and waited quietly.

These children of the Zheng family are well-trained and were considered masters in the past, so they can handle this kind of thing with ease.

Sure enough, the hidden arrows soon stopped, and the sound of ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong was heard in the inn, and then candles were lit.

"Master Immortal, we've been caught!"

Zheng Yongxiang shouted, and the team also came to the inn.

Zhang Biao pushed the door open and immediately frowned.

This inn has long been abandoned, the roof is leaky and covered with dust.

In the inn lobby, a large pot was set up, and tables and chairs were chopped into pieces and set on fire.

The broth in the pot is boiling, and the boiled human heads are floating up and down.

"vomit!"

Several people vomited immediately.

On the ground, there were several corpses lying on the ground, all wearing tattered armor. There was also a soldier who was pressed to the ground. His face was thin and his face was covered with sores and pustules.

"It's the Huaizhou Army."

Zheng Yongxiang's face was gloomy and he kicked him hard, "You don't go to guard the gate, but you eat people here and say, what's going on!"

"Hey hey hey..."

The soldier didn't panic at all, his eyes were full of madness, "Guard the gate, guard your mother's damn gate! If you want to kill, kill me, grandpa, I..."

Phew~

Zhang Biao didn't want to hear nonsense and directly sprinkled the ecstasy powder.

"what is it call?"

"Liu Sanjin."

"what happened?"

"Half a month ago, a group of deserters from Luzhou arrived at Yunxia Pass. General Chen let people in and asked about the battle in Luzhou. The next day, a plague broke out. Those infected wanted to eat flesh and blood and couldnibalistically."

"General Chen saw that he could not control himself and was afraid of being punished, so he wanted to burn us to death. However, there were many sick people and the camp was in chaos. We ran out at night..."

Zhang Biao nodded slightly, checked it again with his spiritual eyes, shook his head and said, "It's corpse plague."

"Corpse Plague?"

Zheng Yongxiang was stunned, cupped his hands and said: "I have little talent and knowledge. I have never heard of it. Dare I ask the immortal master what the disease is?"

Zhang Biao said in a deep voice: "Plague, if there are many corpses on the battlefield and there are zombies causing trouble, this kind of plague will breed."

"Those infected with the plague are initially bloodthirsty and photophobic, then gluttonous on human flesh, and eventually turn into walking dead, and become zombies after death."

As he spoke, he said thoughtfully: "This kind of plague is not a big deal in the first place. It can be eradicated after being exposed to the scorching sun, but now that the fog is shrouding it, I'm afraid it's going to be a big trouble..."

"Ah, the plague!"

The disciples of the Zheng family were startled and quickly backed away.

Especially the men who were escorting the deserters looked at the pus and blood on their hands and wanted to cry without tears.

Zheng Yongxiang's scalp was also numb, and he said harshly: "Damn Chen Changming, you dare to hide such a big thing. Master Immortal, is there a way to save this plague?"

"It doesn't matter, it can be solved."

Zhang Biao nodded and said: "Kill this guy first, burn all the corpses, and don't let go of the used guys."

As he said that, he took out a few Awakening Pills from his arms and said, "This thing can detoxify the plague. If you have glutinous rice porridge, it will be fine."

"I have!"

A disciple of the Zheng family said with lingering fear: "I bought some rice for my relatives in Lushan City, and there happened to be a bag of glutinous rice."

"Bake porridge and turn it into elixirs, and drink a bowl of it."

"Listen to the Immortal Master and hurry up!"

Everyone moved quickly, cleaning the inn, burning corpses, making porridge and drinking medicine, and they were busy for most of an hour.

After doing this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

After a tiring journey all day, a few people were left to keep vigil, and then they all fell asleep snoring.

Zhang Biao looked into the distance and sighed.

Plague, war, evil spirits... Even without going there in person, he could still imagine the hellish scene in Luzhou at this time.

He once asked Lingchong from the side, and the other party didn't hide it. The fog disaster was caused by the revival of spiritual energy, a natural change in the heaven and earth, and was not caused by any evil thing. It would last for at least three years.

I don’t know that after the chaos,

How many people can be left...

…………

"stop!"

"Don't get close, dismount and check!"

Just as Zhang Biao expected, the corpse plague has spread.

Several mountain roads outside the Lushan City Basin were blocked by soldiers wearing pungent mugwort masks and ordering inspections from a distance.

"It turns out to be Brother Yongxiang from Shanyin..."

"Don't worry, I already knew about this on the way. The immortal master took action and no one was infected. How is the situation?"

"Hey, don't mention it. Fortunately, the Taoist priest of Xuandu Temple discovered it, but the plague has spread. That guy Chen Changming fled to Luzhou in fear of crime. King Huaizhou was furious and killed his whole family..."

Lushan City was also managed by the Zheng family, and the soldier commander happened to be a son of the Zheng family, so he started talking with Zheng Yongxiang.

Zhang Biao, on the other hand, looked gloomy and looked into the distance.

Thousands of meters away, corpses were piled up like mountains, fires were raging, and thick smoke was everywhere. Even though they were far away, you could still smell a burning smell through the thick fog.

Several Taoist priests from Xuandu Temple led troops to guard beside the pile of corpses, set up a memorial altar, and recited scriptures to eliminate disasters and grievances, so as to avoid the occurrence of evil spirits.

After being allowed in, wooden carts carrying corpses were seen from time to time along the road, which made everyone feel heavy.

Zheng Yongxiang couldn't bear it in his eyes and whispered: "Master Immortal, is it easy to make the elixir?"

Zhang Biao knew what he meant, shook his head and said: "It is easy to make, but the medicinal materials are difficult to find. It is simply impossible to supply so many people."

As he spoke, an idea flashed in his mind, "If I guess correctly, Xuandu Temple has sent people to Duliang Mountain. If they succeed there, the corpse plague will be lifted."

What he was talking about was, of course, the Mandrill Poison-avoiding Pill.

During the war, plagues were too common, so Xuandu Guan valued that thing, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

Entering the city, it was even more bleak.

There were very few people on the street, every household had their doors and windows closed, and even the inns and restaurants were closed.

The cold wind blew and the ground was covered with paper money.

"Let's go to the Gate of Heaven and Earth first."

Zhang Biao whispered to Zheng Yongxiang.

Before they could leave, a group of people followed them into the city gate. The leader laughed loudly:

"But Taoist Taoist Tai Sui?!"
