Chapter 89 - Pluralism (2)
From the color drawings on the Antique, Little White determined the age of these Antique's production. After further studying, it finally found out that these Antique came from the Tang Dynasty, and there were two types of things that it didn't say it liked at that time. One was the Tang Dynasty's color painting, and the other was the carving.
The Southerners of that time were more inclined to carve, while the Northerners were more keen on painting.
But according to Little White's memory, there was a disaster in the north, and that was the plague.
At that time, the plague broke out, killing tens of thousands of people. When the plague broke out, there was no cure, and it was very contagious. If one person in the village got the plague, 80% of the village would die.
Moreover, people who died from the plague would bleed from their seven orifices, and the blood would soon turn black.
Later on, a famous doctor painstakingly researched and finally found a cure for the plague. This kind of drug was immediately sold all over the country, and the effect was very good, quickly suppressing the plague. However, in the homes of those who had died, on top of the furniture, there was this virus, and afterwards, the local officials burned down all the furniture in the homes of the people who had been infected with the plague.
As a result, there were very few Antique during this period of time, and most of them had already been artificially damaged in the past.
Even so, at that time, the Tang Dynasty's painting was too popular and there was a huge production volume. Almost every household had a few, so after the destruction, there was still a portion that remained, buried together with the death of deceased.
And this was an unfortunate event for Li Potian. Coincidentally, there was this kind of sepulchre under his house, the deceased inside the tomb were precisely the people who died from the plague.
Hence, there were still a lot of black bloodstains on the bottom of the Antique that were dug out, and these black bloodstains would emit the virus.
Originally, these Antique were kept underground, so it didn't really matter. However, after the heavy rain, these Antique would reappear in the human world, and as long as they were beside a group of Antique s with a virus, their bodies would be able to inhale the virus. Even worse, after a thousand years, these plague were no longer the same as before, and had already become a different virus.
As a result, this group of Antique were like explosives in one's hands, and this Li Potian was the first person to be blown to death.
Especially on a full moon night, the speed of the virus is ten times faster than normal. That's why, when I wanted to go out earlier, Little White stopped me, because at that time point, the virus would spread out the most violently.
Little White helped me, so Li Potian was not that lucky. Everything verified what Li Potian had said just now, people die for money, and birds die for food.
Li Potian couldn't bear to part with her Antique. On this full moon night, he wanted to move these Antique to other places. However, he didn't expect that before the Antique moved, he would actually die due to an illness.
So when we found out about all of this, we immediately smashed the Antique into pieces and buried them deep into the ground, dispersing and hiding.
When we walked out of the room, we had also ignited a fire, burning Li Potian's room to a crisp. In these few days and nights, the fire had been blazing all over the sky, and when the fire was at its brightest, Li Ruoxi walked over!
When I saw Li Ruoxi, I didn't feel that there was any difference. After all, anyone who lived in a small district would definitely be able to see this kind of flame.
But unexpectedly, Li Ruoxi didn't even mention it to me, and instead said directly: "There's a ghost inside my house!"
Only now did I remember that the reason why we came here from the beginning was to exorcise ghosts and eliminate devils. It's just that we met Li Potian halfway and mistakenly thought that the Antique was the cause of the haunted area.
Guo Qiang had actually told us before, for there to be achievements, the things that I have done must be known by everyone. Only Li Potian and a few other people know about the Antique incident, so even though this matter was resolved along the way, it does not affect our achievements.
Along the way, I didn't ask Li Ruoxi what was going on. The reason why Li Ruoxi came here was to drag me back, so we could follow. When I reached home, I discovered that there were two more guests.
I told you before that there were three families living in this district. Other than Li Potian, there was also a young couple and an elderly couple.
And it was the young couple who came to visit us.
When I saw the two of them, the other two were sitting in my room in their pajamas. Their hands were clasped tightly, their fingers clasped together, but their bodies were trembling.
I poured a cup of hot water for the two of them, then turned to Li Ruoxi and asked: "What happened to them?"
Li Ruoxi looked at them, and the two of them explained to me: "Oh, I'm not too sure, but when I was sleeping, I heard the two of them knocking on the door, the moment I opened the door, and saw the two of them rushing in, I shouted for ghosts, and refused to leave. There was no other way, I could only look for you!"
