Cotton swabs are stained with alcohol to smear and disinfect, disposable needles pierce the epidermis to make scratches, unscrew the vial to drip the liquid medicine, and then slowly press the scratches with cotton swabs to promote the absorption of the bacteria liquid.

The woman wearing a white mask stared intently, looked dignified, and behaved a little tremblingly, but finally completed a complete set of vaccination procedures properly.Seeing the blood from the wound gradually dry up, she breathed a sigh of relief, and raised her hand to call the next vaccinator.

But at this moment, a low cough suddenly came from behind the woman.With a slight movement in her expression, she suddenly realized, and greeted the patient who was about to get up: "Old man, please trouble you..."

As soon as the woman opened her mouth, the old man who was pressing his arm suddenly realized.He quickly cleared his throat, took a breath from Dantian, and said in a deep voice:

"Boiled!"

·

Since the first batch of vaccines was transported by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention on the 25th, the epidemic prevention team quickly gathered manpower and completed vaccinations for thousands of high-risk workers at the Purple Mountain Altar.After several hours of indwelling observation, except for mild fever and lymphatic swelling, there were no serious side effects overall.The medical advisory group made a judgment based on the comprehensive data, decided to expand the scope of vaccination, and tried its best to complete more than [-] doses of vaccination in Jiankang City.

Such a large scale, of course, is definitely not capable of the traversers.So the advisory group discussed repeatedly, and finally decided to use a large number of indigenous medical staff - the vaccination process of the plague vaccine is not complicated. Require.According to Wang Zhi's speech at the meeting, the big eastern country used to be short of doctors and medicines. Wouldn't it be possible to rely on barefoot doctors who graduated from elementary school?

From the results, the performance of the Aboriginal medical staff has greatly exceeded the expectations of the consultants.Under the oppression of long-term knowledge monopoly, these natives are indeed ignorant and dull, and they are surprisingly ignorant of medical common sense; but once they break free from the oppression and restraint, the desire for knowledge shown by these people is also terrifyingly strong.They probably couldn't understand the sterilization, disinfection, and side effects of what the traverser said, but they worked tirelessly and concentrated, and even recited the traverser's explanations and demonstrations one by one with amazing attention, and forcibly reproduced all the actions as they were.Although these people's operations are stiff, the process is not out of shape at all

Such meticulous rigor and meticulousness even surprised the supervising medical team.They even made a special mention in the submitted report, lamenting the extraordinary perseverance of these people, which is awe-inspiring in every sense.This kind of hard work regardless of everything, even faintly has the demeanor of a great eastern country in the last century.

Of course, this method of copying as it is is safe, but the actual implementation is relatively rigid. The medical consultant specifically pointed out that the aboriginal medical staff would imitate many unnecessary actions, and it became a common practice.

Hearing this, Liu Heng raised his hand to express his puzzlement: "Unnecessary movements? What movements did you add during the demonstration?"

Shu Bai shook his head, resolutely not accepting the blame.

"We didn't have this problem when we demonstrated," he said. "The Aboriginal people performed very well in the vaccination process, mainly after the vaccination..."

Shu Bai quite implicitly omitted the second half of the sentence.But with the foreshadowing of the first half of the sentence, everyone present understood and had subtle expressions.But Mu Chen's face turned dark instantly, his lips were tightened, gradually shrunken as thin as a razor blade.

After all, they are all nominal subordinates of King Hengyang, so they really can't save face by taking down the leader on the spot.So Wang Zhi coughed, indicating that the medical team took out the results of the epidemiological investigation for several days, and quickly diverted from the embarrassing situation.

In the past few days, the medical team has been up and down all night. Apart from treating patients and organizing isolation, the most troublesome job is to be in charge of flow transfer.Because most of the people in Jiankang City are illiterate, and the civilians are not sensitive to time, they have tried many ways to prove it, and only now can they barely come to a conclusion.Referring to the practice of epidemiology statistics, the medical advisory group marked the time and place of onset of each case on the map one by one, so that it was clear at a glance after the exhibition, and the trend of the spread of the plague could be seen immediately.

Judging from the data, Zhang Yao's previous guess was indeed correct—the earliest and most intensive outbreak of the plague was at the Yangtze River Ferry outside Jiankang City, and it was clearly crossing the river from the north bank.After the germs took root at the ferry, they spread around Jiankang at a rate of more than a dozen cases per day, from Caishiji to Stone City, from Stone City to Xuanwumen, and then——

Mu Chen frowned, and suddenly clicked on Xuanwu Lake outside the city.The north and south banks of Xuanwu Lake are quite populated, but the manifestations of the epidemic are quite different. The cases on the north bank are densely packed, with at least 30 to [-] people; while the south bank is almost blank, with only a few sporadic plague red spots.

"Why is there such a big difference between the north and south shores?" Mu Chen blurted out.

The consultant of the medical team was a little embarrassed.

"This—it's not clear." He whispered: "There is no difference in water and soil and hygiene habits, but from the environmental samples, there is indeed no sign of contamination by Yersinia pestis in the water samples and soil on the south bank... so far After analyzing the reason, it may have something to do with the alchemy room on the south bank, based on a preliminary guess."

Mu Chen groaned, and then remembered that there was indeed a pharmacy on the south bank of Xuanwu Lake for the emperor's alchemy pills, and that Xiao Xuan was still a guinea pig in the alchemy room... But ancient alchemy is just tossing and tossing heavy metals, when can it be refined? This infinitely effective fungicide?

He was puzzled, but he knew that with the current evidence, the medical team could not make any reliable guesses, so he only nodded slightly, indicating that the report should continue.

·

Asking three questions in front of the leader made the medical team a little embarrassed.So the consultant said a few words in a hurry, and after introducing the existing information, he directly hung the epidemic map on the wall of the conference room.Then Wang Zhi got up to summarize, made a summary of the past few days of fighting the epidemic, and even looked forward to the next stage

In general, although the vaccine has not yet taken effect, the strict control over the past few days has produced results.Since yesterday, the number of new daily cases screened out by them has been decreasing; because they have gradually become familiar with the physique of the Middle Ages, the mortality rate also tends to decrease after adjusting the medication.On the whole, it is expected that within five days, the manpower tension in medical treatment will be slightly eased, and they will be able to completely control the situation in Jiankang City.

However, the situation in the city has gradually improved, but new worries have arisen outside the city.Although the epidemic prevention team immediately sealed off the gates of the city to strictly control entry and exit after the outbreak of the epidemic in Jiankang City, the vastness of the countryside was difficult to control, and some germs were still brought out by chance, causing a small-scale plague in the countryside.In the past few days, the energy of the crossing team has been concentrated in the city, and they are beyond the reach of the countryside in the suburbs. They can only send medical teams to the countryside every now and then to conduct scientific inspections.The peasants lacked medical care and medicine, and were gradually bewitched by witches and ghosts. Instead of being able to cure their diseases, they were even more poisoned...

When Mu Chen heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "Witching and ghost magic, what witch and ghost magic?"

He recalled for a moment, remembering that Wang Zhi and Liu Heng had teamed up to knock down the Taoist temple in Jiankang City Records under the momentum of artificial rainfall. Under the constraints of the "Religious Regulations", it stands to reason that they should be more peaceful. yes.

Wang Zhi coughed lightly and opened his mouth to explain.

"These are primitive beliefs spontaneously formed by the people." He said slowly: "Although they are not as prominent as the monks and priests in the city, they are indeed deeply rooted in the countryside and difficult to eradicate. Most of the so-called five buckets of rice and the Yellow Turban Army have these primitive beliefs." Shadow. Now that the plague is rampant and the people in the countryside are in panic, it is normal for these people to take advantage of the opportunity..."

Mu Chen snorted.

"—In this case, it's normal for us to deal with these people." He said coldly, "By borrowing the plague, the money was wasted, and the things of the eight lifetimes of great virtues were missing... I didn't have the time to take care of them before, but now I have more time to deal with them." Hands must be cleaned up."

This statement was of course expected.But Wang Zhi hesitated for a moment, but reminded slightly: Although these witch and ghost beliefs are primitive and low-level, and they are also chasing bad money, they have been operating in the countryside for a long time and their roots are deep. If they want to suppress and eradicate them, they need to pay attention to methods and methods.

Mu Chen was taken aback for a moment: "Pay attention to the method?"

Wang Zhi smiled slightly, took out a document, and handed it over directly.

·

On the afternoon of the 26th, a small team came out from the east gate of Jiankang City and rode straight to the bank of the Yangtze River.

In the past few days, the plague outbreak in Jiankang City has been unsettling. The epidemic prevention team ordered the city gates to be sealed off, so that no one can go in or out;But now the horse team is lined up, and the combination of the horses is quite strange—the two knights in front are dressed in red, but they are indeed dressed as city guards, and the horses behind are trotting, but there is a fat monk in white on their backs. , Yuanyuan's face was covered with oil and sweat.

This strange horse team galloped along the river bank for dozens of miles, and gradually passed a huge embankment.The leading knight glanced left and right, turned over and jumped off the horse, and shouted loudly towards the empty embankment:

"I waited hard, but you are reluctant to see me. Is this the etiquette of hospitality?"

After the sound, there was a soft rustling sound in the jungle by the embankment, and more than [-] strong men in black turned out from behind the thorny trees one after another, each of them looked strange, and they all stared straight at him. three people on the embankment.

Wang Zhi leaned on the horse, his eyes swept over the various sharp weapons held by the visitors.In the Middle Ages, there was a serious shortage of metals, and there were very few craftsmen who mastered the skills of weapon forging. These people were all wielding knives and guns. It is no wonder that they were able to run rampant outside Jiankang City for a while, and even made waves by taking advantage of the epidemic.

These twenty or so people walked up the embankment one by one, and gradually separated their priorities in their actions.The leading middle-aged man took a step forward, his voice sounded like dry wood rubbing against each other.

"You are from Hengyang Prince's Mansion in the city." He said shyly, "What are you doing here?"

While speaking, there was a clanging sound on the embankment, and countless swords and weapons were raised around.In an instant, it was the shadow of swords and swords.

According to the investigation by the patrol team going to the countryside, this witchcraft gang operating around the embankment is the Five Dou Mi Dao Sun Enyu Party, and the gene of killing officials and rebelling is written in its bones, so it is reasonable to be so tense.In addition, after being contaminated by witchcraft and sorcery, it became more and more violent, so it was not surprising that there was a fire on the spot.

These men were all desperadoes, and when they wielded their weapons, they showed their murderous aura, and the fat monk hiding behind them turned pale in an instant.Wang Zhi smiled slightly at the sword, but his expression was quite peaceful.

"Your honor is so extraordinary, it must be Venerable Luo Zhizhi?" He said softly, "Don't worry about it, we don't have any other intentions in this trip, but His Royal Highness King Hengyang admires the mystery and wants me to be with this Master Huixuan from Waguan Temple traveled around the suburbs, looking for capable people and strangers, and jointly discerning and analyzing the principles of the law..."

After all, he spread his hands flat, indicating that he did not carry any weapons.The middle-aged man stared carefully for a moment, and finally raised his hand slowly, signaling the believers behind him to retract their weapons.Then there was a loud clattering sound in the jungle, and hundreds of people came out one after another.

These people were ragged and skinny, but as soon as they got out of the jungle, they knelt down and kowtowed desperately to the man in black.Wang Zhi glanced around without moving, but the smile on his lips became more and more real:

"Now the epidemic is rampant, and there are jitters everywhere. I don't know what you are doing on the embankment after working so hard to gather so many people?"

The envoy surnamed Luo snorted, as if he felt that Wang Zhi's attitude was soft, so he reluctantly said a few words:

"The plague is spreading everywhere, precisely because of offending the plague ghost. These are the newly attached believers, and they are leading them to sacrifice to the devil and water god, and to appease the plague ghost..."

Hearing this, the corners of Wang Zhi's mouth twitched slightly, and he subconsciously thought of the inhuman "sacrifice" in the patrol report; of course, he had excellent self-control, and instantly regained his composure, as if nothing had happened.But on the other side, Master Huixuan barely stood up straight while supporting the horse's back, and he was trembling from his bald head to his heels—Master Huixuan was familiar with the classics, and he could guess the origin of this "Magic Tribulation" just by hearing it: The transliteration in the Southern Dynasties, in the final analysis, isn’t this the so-called water god Mojialuo in the scriptures?

This rebel wielding knives and guns turned out to be using scriptures and water gods to build momentum. Master Huixuan felt his eyes go black for a moment, and only the grief and resentment of the fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond were in his mind.He recited the Sutra of Dispelling Misfortunes and Resolving Misfortunes a thousand times and ten thousand times in his heart, but he heard Wang Zhi's officials smiling and brisk:

"Magic Tribulation? Isn't that the poisonous water god?——That's a coincidence. A few days ago, the palace issued a regulation, and all the temples and Taoist temples in Jiankang City were strictly followed. I don't know this demon Is the god of robbery outside the regulations?"

After that, he turned his head slightly.Master Huixuan was already sweating profusely and tremblingly, but after years of dealing with nobles, he had finally sharpened his skills. Seeing Wang Zhi's eyes sweeping towards him, he clasped his hands and declared without hesitation:

"The Lord's words are not bad. We have submitted the regulations to the World Honored One, and the World Honored One is happy to accept it, and there is absolutely no objection..."

Huixuanbao's face is solemn, with a loud voice, but the meaning behind his words is very obvious-the World Honored One has absolutely no objection, how dare a little water god in the scripture not follow?

Even though he was born in an official killing rebellion and a traitor, when he heard the monk's unchanging expressions of "I submit to the World Honored One" and "Happily Accepted", the witch and gu leader surnamed Luo was stunned and speechless for a moment.But after all, he was a ruthless person who had seen the world, after a few seconds of being confused, he finally came to his senses.

"I haven't heard of any regulations." He said with a blank expression, "If there is such a thing, the water god will give me a decree."

This is clearly despising the authority of King Hengyang.But Luo Zhizhi didn't have the slightest fear—the three people in front of him were unarmed, and he could kill them with a snap of his fingers.Even if King Hengyang retaliates in the future, as long as he avoids Jiankang, what can the other party do? !

Sure enough, Wang Zhi didn't turn his back on him, he even smiled.

"It's too late to ask for the decree from the water god now." Wang Zhi said slowly, "Why don't you ask the water god directly."

Before Luo Zhizhi could react, he heard a loud bang in the air, and he couldn't help turning backwards, flying directly out of the embankment and rolling down, splashing blood in the water!

This happened suddenly, and it took a while for the surrounding believers to finally react. With a shout, they pulled out their weapons and rushed towards them in all directions.Wang Zhi raised his head and glanced around, his expression remained completely unchanged, and he even sighed softly.

"Obviously Majie is the god of water in the Buddhist scriptures, why haven't these people learned the Buddhist scriptures about not being angry or angry at all?" He turned his head and said in a quiet tone, "Forget it, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless. , can be scaled up a little..."

Hearing these half-blind and crazy words, Master Huixuan almost didn't cry out - originally he ventured out of the temple to follow, but it was just to show Waguan Temple's absolute support for the eradication of witchcraft and evil spirits; People are not good, but they are accompanied by such crazy critics!Now the swords are facing each other in all directions, he is like a lotus flower with a tongue that can make a stone nod his head, no matter how profound the principles of the law are, how can he use it in front of these twenty or so swords? !

Huixuan was in despair, and was almost about to recite scriptures on dying.But Wang Zhi shook his head, strode up behind the horse, and tore off the red cloth covering the horse's back.But he saw that under the red cloth, it was black and shiny, and there were actually six long protruding iron pipes.

Huixuan caught a glimpse of this strange statue, and was instantly astonished, even forgetting most of the scriptures in his memory:

"This, this, this—"

Wang Zhi stroked the iron pipe slowly, with a smile on his lips and a solemn expression, but he recited the gatha of praise word by word:

"As the saying goes-

Venerable Namo Gatlin, who blossomed with great compassion and great compassion, once entered the soul and appeared in the Western Heaven, and all sentient beings were chanted and praised.

Good! "
