"Our Shang village is cursed" said the man.
"Can you believe me if I say this isn't a curse but someone poisoned you all?" ask Ze.
The man stared fixedly at Ze's face and eyes looking for a lie from there but he did not find it.
The man then reached out his hand with resignation after all nothing to lose for him who had no hope anymore to give this little girl a chance to check her state of mind.
Ze held onto the man's wrist and began to examine the man's pulse and when he managed to detect the man's pulse, Ze was left in disbelief at what he found.
"Gosh" said Ze in surprise.
"What's the sister-in-law?" ask Huo nan.
"You two don't touch anything and get a little bit away from us" Ze said.
"Why.." Huo nan's words were cut by Ze's snaps who were getting upset.
"Just do it without asking!" ze snapped making Huo nan and Jin hu spontaneously retreat without asking any more.
"How long have you had this pain?" ask Ze.
"About 25 days" replied the man.
Ze took out a bottle of liquid from his pouch and dripped a little on the wound on the man's arm earlier.
Not long after, a small silky caterpillar came out of the wound.
"What's that?" ask the man.
"The cause of the suffering of this village." replied Ze.
"You both wash your hands and face with this herb but remember not to be exposed to the eyes of the nostrils what else is the mouth. It's a deadly poison." said Ze and Huo nan and Jin hu following Ze's direction without daring to protest again.
"Gather all the people who are in the river of this village" Ze told the man and the man along with Huo nan and Jin hu left without waiting for Ze to tell him a second time.
Ze looked around and felt something strange coming from the place.
"Hm it seems someone deliberately targeted this village as a collision of alliances with demons like in Youshan village" Ze said.
"I have to find the mother or queen of the caterpillars who suck the core of the lives of the people in this Shang village" Ze said.
"Ah I have an idea" Ze said, smiling with mystery.
Not long after that Ze was already on the river bank along with the citizens who had been collected by Jin hu, Huo nan and the old man of the villagers.
"I can help all of you at no cost or anything like that. Quite a condition of me is, follow everything I say without asking any more refuting." said Ze firmly.
"Okay, our daughter will follow whatever the princess says. We are no longer able to face this disease" said one resident.
"yeah right." said the others.
"If you agree to my terms, unless a child under the age of five is immersed in the river. When I'm done dripping liquid in this bottle (shows the vial of poison for parasitic caterpillars) soak your heads for a little while." Ze directs the citizens.
Without saying much more they all descended into the waters of the river. They were convinced by the sight of the silkworm coming out of the arm of the man who was the first Shang villager Ze had met.
"You also came down because the parasites that came out were still very few. Almost all over your body there is a parasite" said Ze and the man went down without refuting.
"Remember one important thing. DO NOT LET THE RIVER WATER SWALLOWed by you if you still do not want to say hello to the king of hell" said Ze.
Ze began to move to the top of the stream and began to drip the liquid from the bottle he showed earlier into the river water.
Residents who saw it began to soak their entire bodies as well as their heads. After a while they feel itchy almost all over their body.
"That's why it's so itchy." lamented one resident.
"Don't scratch! the parasites in your body will soon be out." Said Ze firmly.
Not long after that, everyone including Jin hu and Huo who was wide-eyed to see the surface of the river water now turned white because it was filled with fine caterpillars that had died.
"Jeez.... What is that?" a citizen was surprised.
"Is this God the source of our suffering?" ask other people.
"I feel like I want to vomit to see that many caterpillars." Huo nan muttered.
"Well come here and have children who have not yet come down to soak, please wipe your children's bodies gently with a cloth that has been dipped in water in this container. Be careful when rubbing the face area not to be exposed to the area in the mouth like the tongue" said Ze and they do what Ze pinta.
"Good princess." they answered compactly.
"God, why are there so many children in the body?" exclaimed a resident who was rubbing his daughter's skin.
"Who was the first citizen to experience this outbreak?" ask Ze.
"He's Chairman Min's son." replied one resident.
"Where is he now?" ask Ze.
"In the temple made by the Fire sect of heaven." replied another resident.
"Take me to that place" Ze said.
"Let's go princess." take a citizen.
"Enough one of you is coming. It'll be dangerous if anyone comes along again" Ze said.
Ze ended up just going foursome with Jin hu, Huo nan, and a citizen.
"Why does sister-in-law think that going to the temple where the sect of holy fire is so dangerous?" ask Huo nan.
"I suspect if the mother or queen of the caterpillars was on the body of the first host. I suspect that the sect of holy fire is the mastermind of the parasite that infects the village. They took the first victim not to cure him but, to keep and care for the mother or queen of the parasites" Ze explained.
"Good God it means we've been lied to by them." exclaimed the citizen who drove them.
"Most likely you guys are being tricked. Not just in deception, you are made a victim for the benefit of the sect." explained Ze.
"We met with a similar case once. Although the method of donation is different but, this is clearly the same case of human cooperation or groups of humans with the devil and subvert the lives of others to obtain the results of that cooperation" explained Ze.
"What results did they get?" ask the citizen.
"There are various but clearly it must be related to human lust and greed" Ze replied.
"It could be for wealth, power, beauty or good looks, the continuity of a sect, eternal life or something similar" Ze explained.
"Only for such a thing would they sacrifice many lives?" ask the people in a disbelief tone.
"If greed had taken possession of one's heart, they would have no mercy. Let alone others, the closest people and even their own families can be destroyed." explained Ze.
