THE LEGEND OF YIN
11. BIRD FLU

When he stepped back on the ground. Yin Hao put the night sky sword back into its sheath, and proceeded on foot towards a city gate.

The gate was 20 meters ahead, red in color and very large in size. When he was close enough, Yin Hao saw two men in warrior-like uniforms standing in front of the gate.

Yin Hao walked over to one of the guards, then asked."Can you open this gate for me ?"

The two guards looked at each other. Then one of the guards said.

"I just saw you around here for the first time, what's your name, son ?"

"My name is Yin Hao,"

"All right, Mr. Hao. May I see the sign of entry between the cities you have ?"

"I don't have anything like that."

Both guards were confused. Because without a license plaque, then Yin Hao could not enter.

When the two were confused, the guard accidentally saw the sword on Yin Hao's waist.

Feeling attracted to Yin Hao, the other guard asked.

"Is the young master a swordsman ? But why are you dressed like a taoist ?"

Yin Hao nodded, confirming the guard's question. She said."Right, I'm a swordsman but also a toist."

The two guards looked at each other again, but this time they both looked uneasy.

Yin Hao who was aware of that, asked."Is there a problem in the city ?"

The two guards were shocked because Yin Hao had already guessed what they were thinking, before even being explained.

One of them explained."Correct, sir. In the city there is a problem, but I hesitate to ask for your help as a taoist."

"So because of this you look restless. No problem, you can tell me more about the problem. If I feel capable, I'll help."

"Well sir. Previously, this city was called the city of night dew. A few weeks ago, one of the residents of this city suddenly contracted a strange disease. The disease spread and infected other residents, eventually making most of the people in the city suffer from the same disease. We have asked some taoists for help in finding the source of the problem, because we suspect this has something to do with the devil. But the taoist we're asking for help is infected with the same disease."

Hearing the story, Yin Hao then thought to see the state of the person who contracted the disease, so that he would know what happened.

"Before seeing the condition of the infected person, I cannot immediately judge that this phenomenon occurs due to the intervention of the devil. Can you let me in and take me to the first infected person ?"

Because only Yin Hao could help them. The two guards opened the gate and drove Yin Hao to the house of the first infected person.

During the trip, the state of the night dew city really looked bleak. The people walking outside can be counted with fingers, as well as the state of the city that is not maintained.

After walking for a while, they arrived at a luxurious house.

"This is the residence of Li Chung, the richest man in the city, as well as the first person who contracted a strange disease. Sorry because we can only get you here, if you need anything, you can find us in the previous place."

Yin Hao looked at the two guards as he said, "Thank you,"

The two guards nodded and walked away.

Yin Hao then gazed towards the residence of the master Li Chung. The house looks very luxurious, but seems very quiet, almost looks like an abandoned house.

Immediately Yin Hao stepped into Li Chung's mansion.

In order for her to get to the mansion, Yin Hao had to first pass through a straight path where right and left was a garden of black roses.

The piercing coldness up the skin, as well as the strange sound of the whirring of the wind made Yin Hao continue to be on standby by placing one of his hands on the night sky sword algae.

When I got to and stood in front of a door. Yin Hao knocked on the door several times, yet there was no reply from within.

From inside the house. Suddenly a black-haired man dressed shabbily jumped up and pounced at Yin Hao like a savage beast.

Without doing too much movement, within seconds Yin Hao managed to faint the person before he had time to attack him.

The strange man was on the floor. From the side of the house, a middle-aged woman along with her two daughters came in a hurry after hearing a noise from the direction of the main door.

When they saw Yin Hao, immediately they were frightened while hugging their husband and father.

"Sir, please don't kill our father, forgive him for us."

Yin Hao shook his head, then waved and said."I didn't come to kill your father, but to heal him."

The 15-year-old eldest daughter stood up and said in a slightly harsh tone."Lying ! 2 The previous taoists also said the same thing, in the end they intend to kill my father for suspecting that there is a demon in his body."

Aware of her being unable to gain the girl's trust with words. Yin Hao took the initiative by using another means.

Yin Hao gave his sword to the girl, then pointed towards something that the girl had stored behind her back.

"If I had intended to kill your father, you could have killed me first with the knife you had hidden behind your back."

The girl was silent. Then a middle-aged woman who was the mother of the two girls stood up and approached Yin Hao.

"If it's true you want to help my husband. Then whatever you want I'll give you, as long as you can really help her."

"This is not the time to talk about rewards. Now go get your bed and some warm water, I'll check on your husband."

Once in a room. Yin Hao began to examine the condition of the body of the man named Li Chung, witnessed by his wife and children.

The results of the examination were not very fruitful, because the condition that Li Chung was experiencing now was the same as ordinary fever.

"How about, sir ?"

"Auntie. Was before contracting this disease your husband was traveling ?"

The middle-aged woman nodded with a slightly surprised look, as Yin Hao was the first to ask that.

"Truly, how do you know ?"

Yin Hao showed the condition of the skin around Li Chung's eyes that blackened like a tired person.

Then Yin Hao also opened Li Chung's eyes, looking at the two pupils of the man's eyes which were small next door.

"This condition can happen because your husband is in excessive shock at something. In addition to his tired body, making dark energy can freely enter his body. It was this Yin energy that made his attitude strange,"

"Usually Yin energy is released by the devil, do not-don't-don't !"A girl named Li Ming earlier looked surprised.

Yin Hao shook his head."You wrong. Let me guess, your father must have been a merchant of animals and medicinal plants. Am I right ?"

The three men were glorifying. Yin Hao then explained.

"This disease has nothing to do with the devil. Because of the conditions I saw, your father had contracted bird flu because he was in direct contact with poultry animals too often. This disease has a high risk of causing death, even this disease can infect others through the airways."

"Can this disease be cured ?"

Yin Hao nodded."Of course, but it's a little time-consuming if I do it alone."

"Then I will help you !"Li Ming presented himself.

"Alright, please prepare the acupuncture needles and herbs I wrote on this paper."Yin Hao gave a paper to Li Ming.

Li Ming nodded."I'll get ready soon."
