Chapter 476: Chapter 466: The Bizarre Illness Chapter 476: Chapter 466: The Bizarre Illness Although people had barely disturbed the Mountain Guardian God anymore, soone now dared to cross into that territory, intending to venture even deeper.”
Su Shu curiously asked, “Last ti, was it because soone in the village stole from the Mountain Guardian God Temple that the Village Chief and Old Hunter got angry?”
“Touching those things could bring disaster, and who knows if the earthquake was caused by that,” Peng San said.
When ntioning the last earthquake in the Peng Mountain Region, Zhang Dongke and the others only knew that the group captain had almost died there.
Tang Zelin and Su Shu had experienced the earthquake and encountered a group of eerie snakes inside Peng Mountain.
Thus, to others, Peng San’s story might sound utterly fantastical, but to them, it didn’t seem that way at all.
Especially for Su Shu, her space now contained more than just non-human beings.
“What exactly is in the Forbidden Area? The villagers don’t know, and the older generations forbid searching for it. Those who have entered and co out do not live long, but back then, soone had indeed brought sothing back from there.”
“Was it that person who later left Peng Village?”
Peng San nodded. “That person…” He counted on his fingers, then lifted his gaze and said, “Should be around my great-great-grandfather’s generation. When he was young, he went out to venture, and later brought a wife back to the village from outside. Not long after arriving in the village, that woman fell ill, looking like she was on her deathbed. Initially, a local doctor managed to improve her condition sowhat, but soon after, her illness worsened. Later on, other villagers also started to get sick, but what the illness was or where it ca from, even the doctor at that ti had no idea.”
Tang Zelin unscrewed the water flask and handed it to old Peng San to moisten his throat.
After taking a sip of water, a faint glimr appeared in Peng San’s dim eyes.
It seed that many years ago, he had also sat just like these younger people, listening to the elderly of his family tell these stories.
For so reason, he felt that tonight, if he didn’t speak those words, there might no longer be another chance to do so.
The secrets of Peng Village, though taboo, had never explicitly been forbidden by the ancestors to discuss. However, rely to avoid trouble, everyone had tacitly refrained from discussing them, and thus, it had been passed down generation to generation as an unspeakable secret.
“Back then, in the Capital City, the Emperor still sat in the Golden Palace Hall. It was said that a favored concubine in the inner palace had also contracted a serious disease that many Imperial Physicians could not diagnose. Whether by coincidence or fate, a traveling doctor who had gained so reputation and whose master worked at the Imperial dical Bureau had originally co to Peng Mountain to gather herbs and treat the ill. But it was his first encounter with such a disease in the village.
Unable to think of a cure, he wrote down the symptoms on paper, sealed it, and sent it to his master in the Capital City.
By a stroke of luck, the Imperial dical Bureau was tornted by the illness of the favored concubine, displeasing the Emperor, who had already beheaded three people. Without a solution, those in the Imperial dical Bureau might all face execution.
The master received the letter, read it, and was shocked by the striking similarity of symptoms to those of the concubine in the inner palace. He imdiately reported to the high authorities, and after they reviewed it, they reported to the Emperor, who ordered action without delay. Soon, a troop of officials ca from the Capital City directly into the village. Among the accompanying Imperial Physicians was the doctor’s master, and after an all-night long discussion between the ntor and ntee, the village was sealed off.”
