"Or ...... Go and free your stomach again? Mu Wan asked her, but she shook her head again and again.

"I'm afraid there's a problem with the water. Let's take her inside to rest first. ”

When he returned to the house, Ah Luan just got worse and rolled on the ground.

She couldn't help screaming, but sweat was already oozing from her forehead. Shanhai rummaged through her medicine box, found emergency medicine, and poured water on her, but it was useless, she still turned over and over in pain. In the second half of the night, I didn't even have the strength to roll, only the weak humming and chirping remained, which was distressing to listen to.

"It's not evil. You take care of her," Shanhai tied her hair back together, "I'll go to Xuanzhen Town to get medicine now." ”

The sky in the east was cloudy, and I watched a thin white light slowly bloom from afar. He rode the wind against the light, moving briskly from the roof to the ground, and then to the sparse trees. The plants gradually flourished, and the chirping of insects and birds began to be heard.

Taking advantage of the glimmer of dawn, he quickly rushed to the next town. Originally, it would have been a day walk to say the least. When he arrived, everything was shrouded in a thin morning mist, and the dull blues characteristic of dawn.

Stepping on the well-behaved stone road, the familiar breath of the living gave him a sense of security. Although the rooster had just crowed and the house was still quiet, he was relieved enough.

Just have to go back quickly.

Not many people can inquire about the location of the pharmacy, but the signs and flags on the street are neat and easy to recognize. He quickly found the pharmacy, the door still closed. He tapped on the door, but no one answered, and he was a little anxious.

On the quiet street, he heard the sound of rustling in the house, and he expected that people should be awake, but it would be a long time before the door was actually opened. Shanhai hesitated for a moment and decided to go around to the back of the pharmacy to see if there was a door.

On the side is a narrow alley. The sun hadn't risen yet, and shadows filled the place. The mountains and seas walked along the wall, and a woman came up to her, holding a money bag in her hand. She must have come out of the pharmacy, with a bit of bitter Chinese medicine on her.

"Girl, may I ask ......?"

It was too dark for him to see the other person's face clearly. The girl didn't want him, but passed by him in silence.

It doesn't seem right.

He was stunned for a moment, but quickly quickened his pace. When he walked around to the rear, he was just in time for the pharmacy shopkeeper to close the back door.

The shopkeeper was a kind little old man, with a gray mustache, and his eyes were very small, but bright, and sharp. He was a little surprised to see Shanhai, but he still invited him in.

"Atractylodes, angelica two dollars, licorice one dollar, cloves also cost two dollars, and Yuanzhi ......"

"Hey, don't, don't" The shopkeeper raised his hand and motioned for him to shut down, "Young man, all you want is ......"

"I know it in my heart, you can help me catch it."

The medicine shopkeeper's steps slowed down, and he said to Shanhai in a harmonious voice:

"I said, young man, if you can trust me. Tell me about the patient's age and symptoms, and I can get some real things for you. I see you're a foreigner, and you don't inquire, I'm ...... here."

“…… Good intentions are understood, but this matter is not so simple. ”

"The old man has lived for so many years, and he has never seen any strange diseases. Don't worry, just tell me. ”

Seeing that he was full of confidence, the mountains and seas were a little anxious. He frowned, sighed again, and summed up the whole thing briefly.

"You're from that dead village?"

"Yes."

"Girl abdominal pain?"

"That's right."

He rolled his eyes thoughtfully. Shanhai thought that if he told the truth, this old man would be able to settle down, but he didn't seem surprised, as if he expected that this matter did have something to do with ghosts and gods.

"You're right. But a few of them treat the symptoms but not the root cause. So, come with me......"

The old man walked straight to the lobby, and Shanhai hurriedly followed. He didn't go to the medicine cabinet, but to another vermilion wooden door next to the cabinet. Although this is not deliberately hidden, it can be regarded as hidden. The shopkeeper took out a key and opened the door.

A strange smell greeted you.

Rin Shanhai couldn't tell what it was, it was like Chinese medicine, but it wasn't like it. It has a faint astringency and a little fishy saltiness, like a sea breeze wrapped in moisture. And this room is obviously darker than the outside, and there are no windows inside, which is a storage room protected from light.

A lot of things are collected, but Shanhai still sees a lot of things placed outside. There are a few clear stones, shiny like jewels, just less regular. Some fine, some kind of animal's tooth code in a box. A couple of jars with some dark grayish greenish powder in them...... There's a lot of weird stuff out there.

It's not weird, it's just that it's completely unreminiscent of any medicine.

However, the mountains and seas are associated with monsters and the corpses of the dead.

People can be medicated, he remembered what Ah Luan said.

"This ...... You ......," he opened hesitantly.

"Don't get me wrong, the old man doesn't have such a big ability. These are all purchased from outside, and there are also passing merchants, and I also have a stable supply. Sometimes this disease is not only a disease, but also has something to do with unclean things. But that girl of yours, I'm afraid that she just got cold, and she was already weak, so she poured cold water in the middle of the night, and she was excited. But as the saying goes, just in case ......"

As he spoke, the shopkeeper began to rummage, muttering: Where did it come from?

Shan Hai looked around the room again, and recognized a brown piece of wood shaped like ginger on the top of the shelf.

No, not wooden. Although the shape was very broken, he knew at a glance that it was a horn.

"Shopkeeper, the ...... on your shelf"

"Oh, that horn," he was still pulling the drawer, "and I spent a lot of money on it when I was younger." Seeing that you are also a Taoist priest, I am not afraid to tell you that sometimes when I encounter really bizarre diseases, I add some powder to the medicine, and most of them are cured. Look at the rest of it, it's just enough for me to hold my sign to death, haha. ”

Jiaojiao is indeed known as a cure-all. In fact, what works is that it repels the evil qi on the patient's body.

"Here, here you go."

Shanhai turned his head, and the shopkeeper buckled a small black pill into his hand. He leaned in and sniffed it, but it didn't smell much.

"Don't be afraid, there's no mess. It's just that this thing is cheaper than the one you see, but it's enough to deal with the girl's disease. Let's go, I'll go out and grab some medicine for you." If you can't be cured, you can come to me. ”

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. However, I heard that my ancestors also lived in that dead village. ”

Shanhai was a little surprised.

"Ah, do you know ......?"

"I don't know," he waved his hand, "I'm a native of Xuanzheng Town. When I was young, I went out to study medicine with my master, and I came back after completing my studies. I didn't even see my parents a few times, let alone inquire about it. ”

He quickly grabbed the medicine and handed it over to Shanhai. He paid the money and stood at the table without moving.

"What, what's the matter?"

"Old man, when I came this morning, I met a girl......"

"Ah, you mean Ah Qi. Miss Qi is Shi Gongzi's subordinate. Shi Gongzi is also an old customer, and most of the monsters and human corpses in my house are made by him and sent people to sell. ”

"Shi Gongzi?"

"He," the old man paused solemnly, "the people of the rivers and lakes are called the Lord of the Hundred Bones. ”

"I haven't heard of it."

Shanhai is very honest. The old man's eyes widened suddenly.

"You haven't heard of me, you haven't heard of him, you shouldn't! You go and inquire, a radius of thirty ...... No, three hundred miles, who doesn't know the name of the Lord of the Hundred Bones. He is a strange man who can command a hundred corpses. No matter how long the bones have been dead, as long as he touches them, he will immediately report the deeds of this person's life. ”

No wonder the woman didn't even breathe.

"That girl, is her name Ah Qi?"

Shi Gongzi said. Miss Qi seemed to be a mute person, and no one had ever heard her speak. However, I have only met Shi Gongzi once in my life...... It doesn't count as meeting, but he doesn't see anyone. Someone in the town said that they had seen him, and the voice was a man, but the back was a girl. I guess they were confusing him with Miss Qi. It's too hard to see him. ”

It seems that this old man is afraid and doesn't know that the Qi girl is a "living" corpse.

When the sky is fully lit, the streets and alleys become lively. Shanhai didn't dare to stay longer, and hurried back with the medicine.

The lord of the hundred bones is Shi Gongzi, and the name is not abandoned. It's not necessarily his real name, it's just that he runs a shop called "Weeping Corpse House" at the entrance of the town. The shop also had no door, only a thick wall. Those who have good deeds look from a high place, and they only see the enclosed open space. Naughty children throw things inside, and they will soon bounce back, and some children have been injured by bricks like this, and they dare not mess around anymore.

If you want to see him, you must go to the mass grave in the far southwest, find an empty coffin and lie down for the night, and wait until your body is dyed with enough yin qi before you can pass through the barrier set up by the Lord of the Hundred Bones for the living to see him. Although everyone knows about it, no one has ever dared to try it. So the true face of the Lord of the Hundred Bones became a legend, and people could only get a glimpse of the female corpse.

Shanhai recalled the old man's words and returned to the dead village.

Seeing him enter the door, Mu Wan stepped forward in three steps and two steps, took the medicine, but looked very panicked.

"I came back with medicine! Is Luan better? You take these pills ......"

"Why, what's wrong, can't it be ......"

"Ah Luan is fine, she rested for a while, drank hot water, and it was much better. But I ask you......"

Shanhai's heart relaxed a little, but seeing that Mu Wan's face was still very dignified, he couldn't help but get nervous again.

"I ask you, where did the judge's pen go?"

"Isn't it in Luan's medicine box? If not, did I use it on the table last night? ”

"I looked for it, but I didn't."

"Ah, I remember" Shanhai pulled out the cuffs, "I stuffed it into the ...... after using it"

The words stopped abruptly, and he was stunned for a moment, and sped up the speed of groping on his body.

Impossible, definitely not left on the road.

Could it be ......

The two of them looked in the direction of the backyard.

Oh, it's over again.
