Chapter 416 Plague Gu Tong
……
It’s none of my business, so I’ll just ignore it!
Yu Liang wasn’t curious about what conspiracy these people had, as long as he wasn’t involved.
Return to Chang’an.
Stay in the bookstore with peace of mind.
His main task now was to stay alive.
Those who plan for eternity should not care about short-term gains and losses.
As long as ‘I’ break through the eternal realm, what kind of life will I have?
What’s wrong with being a turtle for once!
Besides, although Yu Liang was staying in this small bookstore, he was not very bored.
From the articles and manuscripts he received, Yu Liang could experience many colorful life experiences.
—
“Excuse me, is the shopkeeper here?”
Yu Liang, who was lying on a rattan chair behind the counter with a book covering his face, was awakened by this sudden voice.
He looked up slightly into the store.
He saw a boy in slightly shabby clothes and with a childish face walking into the bookstore.
From his tired face and slightly messy hair, it can be seen that he had been running around. The boy was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with anticipation and nervousness in his eyes.
Yu Liang looked the boy up and down, then slowly said: "I am the shopkeeper, what can I do for you?"
The boy nervously took out a thick stack of manuscripts from his arms, walked to the counter, and gently placed the manuscripts on the counter.
He raised his head and looked at Yu Liang shyly.
"Shopkeeper, I want to sell this storybook to you."
"Oh?"
Yu Liang raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of interest.
"Storybook? Let me take a look first."
He slowly picked up the manuscript and began to read it carefully.
The bookstore fell into silence again, with only the sound of pages turning in the air.
The boy's eyes were fixed on Yu Liang's face, expecting his reaction, while Yu Liang was concentrating on reading the manuscript, as if the whole world had stopped.
"Interesting!"
Yu Liang smiled slightly at first.
Then his face suddenly changed again.
"Who asked you to send this book!"
This storybook tells the story of a small county town that was originally peaceful and harmonious being attacked by a plague.
Originally, this was nothing.
But in the content of the storybook, a scholar accidentally peeked into the plague, and there was actually a huge conspiracy hidden behind it.
And this conspiracy was a group of Gu masters in southern Xinjiang, using the lives of the whole city to cultivate Gu children.
The so-called Gu children are actually releasing Gu Qi to form plague in places where people gather.
Among the people who survived in this situation, there is a chance that a person will be immune to this Gu Qi, and this person is the Gu child.
If it is cultivated a little more, it can become a Gu master who can cause cholera in the world.
Since this storybook is a handwritten manuscript, Yu Liang almost watched the discovery process of the whole story from the perspective of the protagonist.
So, even if Yu Liang is stupid, he can know that the story of this storybook is about the outbreak of plague in Fu County outside Chang'an City.
Seeing Yu Liang's sudden change of mood, the boy still wants to hide something.
But under the shock of Yu Liang's eyes, he told everything in detail.
It turned out that his name was Liu Lin, and his father was Liu Yongyuan from Fu County who had come to Yu Liang's bookstore before and sold storybooks.
At this time, Liu Yongyuan had died of the plague.
Before his death, he not only spied on the conspiracy behind the plague, but also found that his son Liu Lin was the beneficiary of the plague, that is, the Gu child who was born and was immune to Gu Qi.
Liu Yongyuan was of course reluctant to let Liu Lin become a Gu master, but because the entire Fu County was blocked by the government at that time, he tried his best to hide Liu Lin and wrote the whole conspiracy into a storybook.
After the matter was over, he asked Liu Lin to bring the storybook to Yu Liang, hoping to spread the matter through Yu Liang's bookstore.
As for Liu Lin, Liu Yongyuan's idea was to let him stay in Yu Liang's quiet and remote bookstore, try not to be discovered, and live a peaceful life.
In this regard, Yu Liang couldn't help cursing in his heart:
Damn it, this damn Liu Yongyuan, all his ideas are good, but he chose me instead of anyone else, and dragged himself into this vortex.
Yu Liang looked up at the young man in front of him.
To put it simply, he is actually a person who produces antibodies in his body due to mutation when facing a plague.
But Yu Liang suddenly found a problem.
This is Chang'an, the center of the entire Tang Dynasty. Even if he is a fool, he can't do such a stupid operation here?
Unless, unless there is a deeper conspiracy behind this!
Regarding the witchcraft disaster, Yu Liang's first thought was the palace infighting.
Alas, it's really a disaster when you are at home!
Yu Liang was deeply moved.
He stood up and didn't care about the young man in the store, and started to pack up his things.
He still kept his mission in mind. For this kind of unprovoked disaster, Yu Liang thought that as long as he ran fast, nothing would catch up with him.
"Shopkeeper!"
"Don't talk!"
"Give it back to you!"
Yu Liang didn't want to have any contact with Liu Lin at this moment.
He wanted to leave this place as soon as possible while the water was not deep.
He just took some personal belongings and left the bookstore and left Chang'an.
"Oh, it's so unlucky. What a thing!"
Walking on the road away from Chang'an City, Yu Liang was still muttering various complaints.
The hustle and bustle of Chang'an seemed to still echo in his ears, but now he just wanted to get away from this place of trouble as soon as possible.
However.
Not long after he set foot on the road away from Chang'an City, seven or eight figures suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his way.
Yu Liang looked at them.
Although they were dressed like ordinary people, Yu Liang felt an unusual breath from them.
"Everyone, I have an urgent matter and need to leave. Please accept these silver taels. Just treat me to everyone's drinks."
Yu Liang tried to be harmonious and handed over a few taels of silver.
However, this group of people were unmoved by the silver taels. Obviously, they did not come for money.
At this time, a burly man walked out of the crowd, seemingly their leader.
"I tell you, don't refuse a toast and drink a penalty." Yu Liang put away his friendly attitude and said in a cold tone.
The leader of the other side seemed very calm and said lightly: "We have no ill intentions, but we just want you to stay in Chang'an for a while."
"You said to stay, so stay?"
Although Yu Liang didn't want to cause trouble, it didn't mean he was afraid of it.
Faced with such a tangled situation, the best way is to cut the Gordian knot.
As soon as Yu Liang moved, his figure moved as fast as the wind. The speed was so fast that the other party couldn't catch his trajectory with their eyes.
Instantly appeared in front of an enemy, punched out, and smashed the opponent directly, turning into a ball of blood mist and dissipating in the air.
This scene happened too quickly, leaving everyone dumbfounded and unbelievable.
Immediately afterwards, he appeared next to another enemy like a ghost, and with the same punch, another enemy turned into blood mist and disappeared.
In a moment, the seven or eight enemies had all been defeated by Yu Liang, leaving nothing behind, and all turned into balls of blood mist and disappeared on this land.
The whole process was clean and neat, without any drag.
Yu Liang stood there, looking around coldly, as if to check if there were any fish that had escaped the net.
After confirming that there were no more enemies around, he turned around and continued to move forward, embarking on a road away from Chang'an.
