Douluo II: The nanny is killing people indiscriminately!

Chapter 33: Kind God Test 3
I don't seek to avoid the wind and rain alone, I just smile that the Peach Garden is not a dream.

In the 23rd year of Kaiyuan Period in the Tang Dynasty, Dongfang Yuxuan, the owner of Wanhua Valley, traveled around and mistakenly entered Qingyan in Qinling Mountains. He then gathered many extraordinary people from all over the world to live in seclusion there and named it "Wanhua Valley".

The sea embraces all rivers and is vast because of its tolerance. Wanhua Valley, with its inclusive and tolerant attitude, has become a holy place that people of different temperaments yearn for.

Wanhua Valley can be said to be a gathering place for all kinds of people. Any extraordinary person can find his or her own place in Wanhua Valley, and they will be given full respect and freedom.

The old emperor passed away and the throne took over.

In the first year of Guangde, the central army and the vassal army fought back against the rebels with the assistance of the Uighurs, Bukhara and the countries in the Western Regions, thus ending the eight-year civil war.

The situation at court remained turbulent, with royal family members fighting for power. In the next twenty years, several emperors were replaced.

Zhong Lin stood in front of the dim sum stall and said to the boss, "Boss, give me a pound of peony cakes."

"Okay!" The boss picked up the cakes and weighed them skillfully, wrapped them in brown paper and handed them to Zhong Lin.

"Aunt, please take it."

After paying the money, Zhong Lin immediately opened the brown paper and ate the peony cake while walking.

The peony cake is golden in color, filled with peony flower jam, and is crispy and soft. Every time she passed by Luoyang while practicing medicine, she would buy some to eat.

It's not just because I'm greedy, but also to commemorate someone.

Just as she walked out of the city gate, a white dove flapped its wings and flew towards Zhong Lin. She raised her arm to catch it and pulled out a circle of paper from the mailbox on its leg.

——Uncle Master Zhong Lin, the valley is in danger, return quickly.

Wanhua Valley is the leading martial arts sect with many talented people and hundreds of powerful people in charge. Zhong Lin couldn't imagine how big a crisis could threaten Wanhua Valley.

She crushed the note and rode straight to Wanhua Valley.

When she returned to the Valley of Flowers, she was shocked by the scene of the sea of flowers in sunny daytime filled with people.

Wanhua Valley is a secluded place located within the mountains and surrounded by cliffs. It can only be reached through a secret tunnel and outsiders cannot enter the valley at all.

Zhong Lin called his apprentice Qiu Shu and asked him what happened.

The young man bowed to her and replied, "Master, some time ago, many people infected with the plague gathered at the mouth of the valley and sought medical treatment. The cause of the plague is unknown, and the symptoms change frequently. It is difficult to cure it with our medical skills."

"The epidemic has recurred and spread over a large area. More and more people are coming to seek medical treatment. The epidemic has developed seriously and many people have died, so Senior Medicine King decided to open the valley to save people."

Zhong Lin's heart sank, and she continued to ask, "How did the people find the entrance to the Flower Valley in the first place?"

The young man shook his head.

The plague incident was obviously not simple and was highly contagious. All the disciples in the valley wore masks to prevent infection.

As soon as Zhong Lin came back, she received a commission from her master Pei Yuan, asking her to participate in the investigation of the plague incident.

Pei Yuan is the chief disciple of the Medicine King Sun Simiao. The Medicine King has countless disciples throughout his life. Pei Yuan, Gu Zhilan and Lian Chen are the first group of disciples to become his disciples.

Zhong Lin and two other fellow students visited the infected people and found that the plague first broke out at the water source. The disease spread only after the residents near the water source were infected.

When the epidemic symptoms appeared, they received another anonymous letter stating that Wanhua Valley could cure the disease and also attached a map to the valley.

From these two points, it can be basically confirmed that someone created disturbances targeting Wanhua Valley and the people suffered innocently.

When reporting the investigation results to Pei Yuan, Sun Simiao happened to be there too.

After listening to Zhong Lin's report, Sun Simiao stroked his white beard and said, "In this matter, the enemy is in the open, and I am in the dark. Let's do our best to treat the people first. Sooner or later, those people will show their claws."

Pei Yuan and Zhong Lin bowed and responded in unison.

"Yes, Master." "Yes, Grandmaster."

Zhong Lin joined the team to care for and treat the people. The number of people infected with the disease increased day by day, and there was a shortage of manpower. Fortunately, there were many heroes from other sects supporting Wanhua Valley and lending a hand.

As he was in contact with patients all day, Zhong Lin was unsurprisingly infected with the plague.

Master Pei Yuan naturally wanted to treat her first, but was rejected by Zhong Lin.

There are many patients in the valley, and the amount of medicinal materials consumed every day is extremely huge. Seeing that the medicinal materials in the valley are about to run out, this plague can no longer be delayed.

"Master, there is no need for medical treatment. I decided to test the medicine on myself."

The risk of drug testing is too great and the process is painful, so the disciples of the Lijing Yidao lineage have always been unwilling to test drugs on ordinary people.

Pei Yuan shook his head, unwilling in his heart: "Xiao Lin..."

This was the disciple he had personally picked up and brought back to the valley, and who he had taken care of and raised. He had long regarded Zhong Lin as his daughter. How could he just watch Zhong Lin die?

"No, let the master come!"

"Master, you have to help our master develop a medicine to cure the epidemic. The greatest heroes serve their country and their people. In the face of this disease, we, the children of Wanhua, have no choice but to do our duty!"

"..." Pei Yuan covered his face helplessly and painfully. He and his master had been working day and night to develop a medicine to cure the epidemic, but there had been no progress so far.

They really need a tester.

Pei Yuan took Zhong Lin to see Sun Simiao. When he learned that Zhong Lin was willing to test the medicine on himself, Sun Simiao did not say anything to dissuade him. His eyes were moist, and he touched Zhong Lin's head and said, "Good child."

Zhong Lin stayed in Yaowangju, drinking medicine every day until he almost vomited. The effects of the medicine were almost driving him crazy.

With human trials underway, progress in developing the antidote has finally gained traction.

Zhong Lin's body became visibly weaker, and the plague eroded her rapidly. In less than half a month, she was reduced to skin and bones.

After drinking another bowl of the newly prepared medicine and waiting for a while, there was no reaction on her body. Zhong Lin breathed a sigh of relief and lay down. The piercing pain began to boil wildly in her blood.

The severe pain seemed to come from every inch of flesh and blood in his body. Zhong Lin stared in horror at the bulge under his skin, which was jumping back and forth.

"Ah——" Zhong Lin let out a shrill scream and rolled over on the bed with her head in her hands.

Something pierced through her brain, drilling back and forth. Apart from meaningless screams, she was in so much pain that she couldn't utter a single word.

Hearing the scream behind him, Pei Yuan turned around in a hurry and went forward to check on Zhong Lin: "Xiao Lin! What's wrong with you?"

Sun Simiao quickly stopped him: "Don't go over there!"

"for……"

Just as the words came to his lips, Zhong Lin, who was still rolling and struggling in the previous second, had turned into a skeleton in the current second. Densely swarmed insects were crawling all over the bones, gnawing at the remaining flesh and blood, which was creepy.

“Xiao Lin…” Pei Yuan’s tears rolled down. He didn’t expect that Zhong Lin would die in such a tragic way.

He looked again at the bugs on the bones.

"Master, these Gu..."

Sun Simiao looked solemn: "No wonder the medicine for the epidemic is useless. It turns out that the people are not infected with the plague, but poisoned by the poison!"

"At this stage, the poisonous insects in the people's bodies are still dormant. The bowl of medicine Xiaolin drank just now just happened to ripen the poisonous insects!"
