The Legend of the Northern Blade Chapter 350

<-- Episode 350: Chapter 8 A disaster created by humans sweeps the world (4) -->

The situation in the village was more serious than expected. The total number of village residents was 400, and about 100 of them were suffering from the plague and were struggling between life and death. Considering that the cause of death is usually one household, this means that almost the entire household has a patient with the plague.

If the village chief or officials had isolated the patients in the early stages of the outbreak, the damage would have been minimal, but as they were left without any action, the damage only increased.

Above all, the most serious problem is that there are many people who have left the village, not just the village chief or officials. It was impossible to know which of them might have contracted the plague. If someone caught the plague, it was literally the beginning of a disaster.

Jin Mu-won called Kwak Mun-jeong.

“Munjeong, as soon as the second party arrives, track down the villagers who escaped here and find out whether the plague has broken out.”

“all right.”

Kwak Mun-jeong answered with a stern expression. Even without him having to explain it, he too felt how serious the situation was.

I thought the battlefield would be better. Because I could have died cleanly there. People suffering from the plague were suffering from extreme pain and fever. There was no separate hell. This place was hell.

Even at that moment, Dang-moon was holding the patient and taking the pulse. The patient’s pulse was weak, as if it would stop at any moment.

He was now a man in his early twenties with a sturdy physique. Before he contracted the plague, he was a man who would have had the digestive power and stamina to chew on a piece of iron, but he was dying.

“Please, please save me, Senator.”

The man begged in a dying voice.

“Hold on a little. “I will definitely save you somehow.”

“Yes, Senator. “Wow!”

The man suddenly vomited dark red blood. The blood he vomited turned Dangmun’s entire chest red. Before the man could do anything about the door being pulled, his body trembled and he closed his eyes and died.

“Unbelievable!”

Dang-moon looked devastated while holding the man’s body in his arms. The man’s eyes were wide open as if he couldn’t believe he was dead. His eyes seemed to be blaming himself.

Dangmun barely managed to close his eyes with trembling hands. Normally, he would blame himself for not being able to save the patient, but he was not given the time to do so.

“Uncle, this person is also in critical condition.”

Tang Mi-ryeo’s urgent voice awakened Tang Wen’s spirit. Dang-mun hurriedly put down the man’s body and ran to where Dang Mi-ryeo was.

Dang Mi-ryeo was performing acupuncture on a young woman. But despite her efforts, the young woman’s complexion was noticeably deteriorating. She looked as precarious as a carp on land, barely able to catch her breath.

Tang Mi-ryeo was trying desperately to save the woman. There were big tears in her eyes.

“Hold on a little. please… … .”

Even though Dangmun joined in, the woman’s condition did not easily improve. In the end, she died shortly after, just like women and men.

“Ugh! “Huh!”

In the end, Dang Mi-ryeo burst into tears. Her pretty face was ruined and her eyes were swollen, but she never knew her crying would end. Dangmun patted her shoulder. But her feelings were equally mixed.

It’s only been half an hour since we entered the village, and two people have already lost their lives. In addition, the condition of several people was noticeably worsening. There seemed to be little chance of them surviving until a proper treatment was found. The situation was getting worse to the point where it was truly scary.

Although he had been treating countless people under the banner of saving people with poison, he was truly helpless in the face of a plague he was experiencing for the first time in his life.

“Damn it!”

Dangmun cursed himself for being helpless.

Dozen more people died in an instant before his eyes. All he did in the meantime was to block his nerves so he couldn’t feel pain.

Jin Mu-won approached.

“How is it?”

Dangmun just shook his head without saying anything. I feel extremely helpless and have no strength to respond. Jin Mu-won looked at Dong-moon with a pitiful expression. I wanted to let him rest for a while because he was so tired, but I couldn’t. Even at this moment, many people were dying.

In a short period of time, Dangmun looked ten years older. This meant that he used up a lot of mental energy. Only after a long time had passed did he finally open his mouth.

“This is the first time in my life that I have felt this helpless. “Human life is so fleeting.”

These were not words addressed to Jin Mu-won, the owner of the Northern Heavenly Gate. These were words spoken to Jin Mu-won, who was like a younger brother with whom I had been through hardships and hardships for a long time. It also meant that my mind and body were exhausted in such a short period of time.

“It doesn’t look like an ordinary plague.”

“This is the first time in my life I have ever experienced a plague that worsened so quickly. A normal plague, no matter how contagious it is, takes some time to get worse. This is more like a poison than a plague… … .”

For a moment, Dangmun’s expression hardened.

If you think of it as a plague, it’s a symptom that doesn’t make sense, but if you think of it as a poison, most of it makes sense. The only thing that doesn’t make sense is contagiousness.

Dangmun quickly got up from his seat and ran to the patient. Looking at Dangmun’s appearance like that, Jin Muwon knew that he had found a clue.

Dangmun inserted a silver needle into the patient’s body and then removed it. If it had been poisoned, the silver needle should have turned black, but it was fine. But Dangmun was not disappointed.

There were many poisons in the world that could fool the silver needle. Dan Dongmun himself knew about dozens of such poisons. So it wouldn’t be surprising if there were more such poisons.

Dangmun rummaged through his luggage and took out some medicinal herbs. He quickly fed one of the medicinal herbs to the patient. However, the patient’s condition did not improve but rather worsened.

“Shit!”

Dangmun tried to improve the patient’s condition even a little, but to no avail. However, unlike before, he was not heartbroken and ran towards another patient.

I administered the medicine again and checked his condition. But this time, the patient vomited blood and died. Meanwhile, Dang Mi-ryeo, who had come to her senses, helped Dang-mun.

The sight of them struggling to save at least one person broke Jin Mu-won’s heart. The situation was getting worse, but there was little he could do now. One of them was to isolate villagers who were not yet infected. He managed to isolate the residents who were trying to stay away from the patients by half pleading and half threatening them. Nevertheless, another infected person emerged.

“How can this be!”

Hwang Cheol wanted to turn his head away from the tragedy in front of him. But I couldn’t. He followed Dangmun and tried his best to be of any help.

It was a time when such anxious times were passing by.

“Moonju!”

Dangmun called Jinmuwon in an urgent voice.

Jin Mu-won hurriedly ran to Tang Wen.

“Is there a problem?”

“Look at this.”

Dangmun pointed to the patient in front of him. The patient was shaking with blood foaming at his mouth. In Jin Mu-won’s eyes, he didn’t look that different from the previous patient. Nevertheless, he thought that there must be a reason why Danggi-moon called him.

“Look at the corners of this patient’s mouth.”

“You mean blood bubbles?”

“okay!”

Jin Mu-won raised his eyesight. Then, a faintly shining fine powder was seen around the blood bubbles. There were so few traces that I would never have noticed it if I hadn’t listened to Dangmun.

“This?”

“It’s traces of mineral poison.”

“Are you saying someone read it?”

“It’s clear.”

Dangmun answered without a moment of hesitation. Ordinary members of the National Assembly would not be able to tell that there were traces of poison even if they looked closely. That’s how secretive the mineral poison was. At this level, it was difficult for even the party gate to find out.

Intoxication with this poison could not be detected using normal methods. I was able to think about it because I looked at Dangmun and looked at it again and again with suspicion.

Jin Mu-won’s complexion hardened. If it were a simple plague, what he could do would be limited, but if someone poisoned people with a purpose, it would be a different story.

“Can you guess what kind of poison it is?”

“I need a little more time. But now that we know that it is poisoning caused by mineral poison, we will definitely be able to find a way.”

“hmm!”

“Munju, mineral poison is something humans must consume. There must be a source of poison somewhere in this town. We need to find it and get rid of it.”

“All right.”

Jin Mu-won, along with Hwang Cheol and Kwak Mun-jeong, searched the village thoroughly along with his answer. It was about half a day later when they found the mineral poison.

“This well contained something like this.”

Hwangcheol placed the black stone he got from the well in front of everyone. The black stone, as big as an adult’s fist, was giving off a terrible odor. I felt dizzy from the miasma flowing from the black stone. Hwang Cheol and Kwak Mun-jeong had to raise their internal strength to resist the unimaginable poison.

Jin Mu-won asked Dang-mun.

“Can you tell what poison it is?”

“We don’t know right now. But if you keep researching, you will find out. certainly.”

“All right. “Then, head of the family, focus on identifying the poison and detoxifying the people.”

“What about Munju?”

“There must be someone who poured poison into the well. “We need to catch him and find out who is behind it.”

“I understand.”

Jin Mu-won asked the villagers who had not yet contracted the disease whether a suspicious person had visited the village. Most people didn’t remember, but fortunately, one child said that there was such a person.

“I clearly remember that he was wearing a hunter’s outfit, but strangely, there was no bow visible. “He thought he was strange even back then.”

“Are you sure?”

“I was playing nearby at the time, and I saw him hanging around the well a few times.”

“Do you remember his facial expressions?”

“yes!”

The child described the hunter’s impressions in detail.

The hunter said he stayed here for a while and departed west the next day. The expressions of Jin Mu-won, Dang-moon, and Hwang Cheol hardened.

By west, it meant the inside of Sichuan Province. Myanyang, where the Beitian Gate is located, Chengdu, where the Tang Gate is located, Emei Mountain, where the Ami Sect is located, and Qingcheng Mountain, where the Qingcheng Sect is located, were all on that side.

Jin Mu-won hurriedly called Kwak Mun-jeong.

“Munjeong, you will remain here and protect the leader until the Hwaldokdang arrives. And as soon as the Hwaldokdang arrives, return to Bukcheonmun and tell the soldiers this.”

“all right.”

“Hwangsuk will join me in tracking down the guy.”

“Yes, Master Moon!”

Hwangcheol answered with a stern expression. His eyes were shining more eerily than ever. He was feeling the greatest anger since entering the Northern Heavenly Gate.

Jin Mu-won and Hwang Cheol set out to track the hunter.

It wasn’t that difficult to find the hunter’s traces. All you had to do was find the poisoned village.

Two villages were hit by mineral poison given by hunters. The hunter poisoned the well again. Fortunately, Jin Mu-won and Hwang Cheol quickly discovered the mineral poison, so the number of casualties was not that high. But public sentiment was at its worst.

Through a series of events, Jinmuwon realized that there were at least two people reading. This is because two villages separated by a considerable distance were poisoned almost simultaneously. If so, the problem becomes even more serious.

‘Two people, maybe more. ‘Someone is systematically creating fear in Sichuan Province.’

Jin Mu-won rode all day and night and was able to reach Samhe County. It was a county located midway between Myanyang and Chengdu and was a fairly large city within Sichuan Province. It was also an intermediate base where rivers and waterways connected Myeongyang and Chengdu. If the poison is released here, a disaster comparable to Dalju will occur.

‘author?’

Suddenly, Jin Mu-won’s eyes lit up.

At the beginning of Samhap, a man dressed as a hunter was seen. His impression matched what the boy had told him. Jin Mu-won instinctively knew that this was the person he was looking for.

At that time, the hunter turned his head and made eye contact with Jin Mu-won. He was shocked for a moment, but soon he was running at a frightening speed.

“It’s a guy.”

Jin Mu-won started tracking. Hwang Cheol followed him.

The hunter was heading towards a large stream crossing Samhab.
