The corpse had been hit by stones in the stream and was completely unrecognizable. Through the holes in the skin, you could see the blood-red flesh inside and the insects burrowing out from the inside.

Zhang Tiesheng frowned tightly and said, "This is another victim of the plague."

His whole body was soaked by the stream water, and there were drops of water on his bronze handsome face. The thin clothes clung to his body, and his toned muscle lines were clearly visible, showing the beauty of wild strength everywhere.

Shangguan Ruoli praised the handsome man in his heart, handsome guy!

But a cold iceberg demonic face immediately appeared in his mind, and he quickly calmed down and asked: "Again? What do you mean by this? Have you seen many such corpses in this stream?"

Zhang Tiesheng saw that she was dark-skinned, wearing men's clothes made of coarse cloth, and carrying a bamboo basket on her back. There were some herbs and mushrooms in the bamboo basket. Without thinking much, he guessed that she was a mountain folk collecting herbs.

So, he said: "I hunt in this mountain almost every day, and this is the third corpse I have seen. They all floated down from the upper reaches."

Shangguan Ruoli said: "If this continues, even if there is a prescription to cure the plague, the source of the disease will always appear one after another, and I am afraid that the plague will not be completely eradicated."

Zhang Tiesheng said solemnly: "The imperial court will not provide endless free herbal medicines. The people are poor, and I am afraid that the plague will break out and even affect the entire Dongming. Therefore, the source must be eliminated."

"Let's burn the body first." Shangguan Ruoli suggested, took out the porcelain bottle and poured out two pills, took one himself, and handed one to Zhang Tiesheng, "This is medicine to prevent and treat the plague. I made it."

Got the pill."

"Thank you." Zhang Tiesheng didn't doubt it, took it and threw it into his mouth.

Shangguan Ruoli raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you afraid that there is something wrong with this medicine?"

Zhang Tiesheng glanced at her with his deep and bright eyes and said calmly: "You don't know how. There is a sense of righteousness in your eyes. You are not a bad person."

Shangguan Ruoli smiled slightly, this is the sixth sense, right?

Zhang Tiesheng originally came to the stream to process game animals for roasting and eating. He brought all the firewood and other things with him. He found dry firewood and pine branches in the woods and burned the bodies.

Looking at the corpse that was gradually curled up and charred, Zhang Tiesheng said: "I asked two people to watch by the stream. If they found the corpse, they took it out and burned it. We can't let them enter the territory of Huaihua Mountain again."

Shangguan Ruoli knew that he had a certain appeal among the hunters and the people, so he nodded and said, "That's fine. The government alone cannot do these things."

Zhang Tiesheng put his hand to his mouth and blew a few loud whistles. Immediately, whistles sounded in the forest in response.

Hunters in the mountains are afraid of encountering ferocious beasts in the mountains. They rarely act alone. They always act in groups so that they can respond to each other when encountering danger.

Sure enough, soon I heard the sound of someone approaching.

Seven or eight people dressed as hunters ran over from the woods.

They all respected Zhang Tiesheng. They glanced at Shangguan Ruoli, then looked at the body that was half burned by the fire, and asked Zhang Tiesheng, "Brother Zhang, what happened?"

Zhang Tiesheng said: "I found another corpse covered with bugs. Although the government has an effective prescription now, if there are still such corpses floating down, it will be difficult to eradicate our plague. So I want to take turns to keep two

I'll keep watch here, and when I find the body, I'll take it out and burn it."

"Okay!" Several people responded in unison without hesitation.

Zhang Tiesheng added: "We will share the prey equally if we kill it. We will not let you and your families starve."

Several people's eyes lit up and their voices became much louder, "Okay, we will definitely hold on to this place."

Shangguan Ruoli handed the medicine bottle to Zhang Tiesheng, "I am a doctor. I have made pills to prevent and treat the plague. You may come into contact with corpses, so keep them for use."

"Thank you!" Zhang Tiesheng didn't show any pretense, he took it generously and threw it to an Orion.

Shangguan Ruoli looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. I haven't found the medicine I'm looking for yet. You are familiar with the mountains. Have you seen the herbs I'm looking for?"

As he spoke, he explained the appearance of the herbs and the environment in which they grew.

Zhang Tiesheng said: "I seem to have seen it before, in the mountain col over there."

Some hunters also said: "Yes, that mountain col does exist, but it is very close to Xianxia Mountain. I heard that Xianxia Mountain is very evil. Many people who approach Xianxia Mountain never return."

"It's okay, I still have some means of self-defense, thank you!" Shangguan Ruoli said and said goodbye.

Zhang Tiesheng frowned, looking at her thin arms and legs, and said, "I'll go with you and check the situation along the stream."

"Thank you!" Shangguan Ruoli was not polite and happily accepted his help.

After all, he is a native hunter who often moves in the mountains and forests in this area and is very familiar with every plant and tree in the mountains.

With Zhang Tiesheng's help, Shangguan Ruoli and Anbu Gao quickly reached the mountain col they pointed to and found the herbs they wanted.

Shangguan Ruoli found a relatively high place and observed Yunxia Mountain with a telescope.

"What is this? Who are you?" Zhang Tiesheng looked at the long tube in her hand, his sharp eyes full of wariness.

Shangguan Ruoli said while observing: "I am from King Xuan. This plague is not a natural disaster, but caused by poisonous insects. Judging from those corpses, there must be a problem in the upper reaches of the stream. King Xuan wanted to find the problem and destroy it in one fell swoop, but he couldn't.

Let him become a hidden danger to the people of Dongming."

Zhang Tiesheng participated in the suppression of bandits in Huaihua Mountain and respected King Xuan very much. He said: "The people of Nanyun are indeed good at raising and using voodoo. What could be the problem? Is someone deliberately harming Dongming or is the body accidentally falling into the stream? As long as we can

To completely eliminate the hidden danger of the plague, my brothers and I are willing to help."

This place borders Nanyun, and he often interacts with the people and businessmen of Nanyun. Zhang Tiesheng has heard a little about Nanyun.

Since ancient times, men have been hot-blooded. When it comes to the issue of national dignity, Zhang Tiesheng is full of passion and indignation. He will never tolerate the people of Nanyun using such dirty and insidious means to harm the people of Dongming.

"Okay!" Shangguan Ruoli talked to him, holding up the telescope and continuing to observe, "I guess this kind of sinister poisonous insect lives in a very dark place. There are probably ancient tombs near such places."

He took off the telescope and looked solemn.

Yunxia Mountain is densely forested and misty, so you can't even see any trace of Yunxia Palace.

Zhang Tiesheng frowned and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he said: "I heard from the old people that many years ago, some of them accidentally entered a cave over there in Yunxia Mountain and encountered many strange things. It sounds like it's an agency to me.

Could it be an ancient tomb?”

Shangguan Ruoli said solemnly: "Go back and learn more about it in detail, otherwise there will be no traces. Do you understand?"

Zhang Tiesheng nodded, "Understood..."

Suddenly, they heard a rustling sound coming from the woods.
