"This is the Soul Suppression Alliance, where did the thief come from?" Ji Qiu turned and walked towards the door.

Wang Laoqi was not in a hurry to leave, he stood outside the door with the woman, watched Ji Qiu open the door, and saw that his face was as usual after looking left and right, and then he said, "Since it's okay, let's go first." ”

Ji Qiu responded, entered the house and closed the door to continue to search, there must be no person, he was looking for a mouse, listening to the previous sound, something should have fallen to the ground, and the mouse was the most suspicious.

The mouse didn't look for it, but he saw the thing that fell on the ground, it was the five-element plate that he had picked up before, and he had been putting it under the futon at the head of the bed against the wall, and somehow it fell to the ground.

Bent down to pick up the five-element plate, and searched it carefully, the room was only so big, and there was nothing to cover, if there were really mice, there would be no finds.

There is a main thing, the auxiliary is originally a dispensable role, Ji Qiu is also happy to be idle, most of the time in the room every day to read the secret of the Samadhi true fire, as the so-called book read a hundred times, its meaning is self-seeing, with the increase in the number of reading, the obscure mantra has gradually understood a lot.

Try to study in the dead of night, but you can also get a glimpse of the door.

Three days later, in the afternoon, Wang Laoqi came again, he wanted to go out to buy some herbs to reduce dryness and heat, and asked Ji Qiu if he wanted to bring something.

"Why do you want to go out again?" Ji Qiu tilted his head to look at him, "It's not peaceful outside at this time, you always run out and have an accident sooner or later." ”

"This time it's a serious matter," Wang Laoqi said seriously, "It may be because of the dryness of autumn, these mounts have not had a good appetite recently, and there is always a surplus of feeding, and the monks of various sects have urged me to go out and buy some dryness herbs to come back." ”

Ji Qiu didn't take it to heart, and asked casually, "I haven't gone out much in the past few days, has anything happened outside?"

"Which outside?" Wang Laoqi asked rhetorically.

"Of course, what's happened in the alliance recently," Ji Qiu said, "By the way, do you know what is going on outside, and you can tell me about it." ”

"The people in the four main cities seem to have arrived, Ji Ling'er got another mount, I heard that it was a young crane, but I didn't see it, it should be kept in the house," Wang Laoqi said, "As for the outside, it is still like that, the anti-blood guards are raging everywhere, people are hiding, and it is becoming more and more difficult to buy some things, and after a while, I am afraid that I will not be able to buy them even if I have money." ”

"Oh. Ji Qiu replied casually.

"You really don't need to carry anything?" Wang Laoqi asked again.

Ji Qiu knew what Wang Laoqi was doing, so he took out the money bag from under the futon, took a few pieces of broken silver and threw it over, "Save a little bit." ”

Wang Laoqi raised his hand to catch it, thanked him, and went happily.

After Wang Laoqi left, Ji Qiu also got up and left the residence, as an assistant, it was not good not to show up.

I walked around the feeding yard and the other three branches, and by the way, I checked the situation of the mounts everywhere, as Wang Laoqi said, these mounts didn't seem to have a good appetite, and there was a lot of food left.

The owner of the mount was more concerned about his mount than the yard servant, and when he found that the mount had a bad appetite, he tried to find out the cause, but the food was fresh, and the drinking water was changed every day, and in the end it was only due to the weather, and the noon in early autumn was hotter than the noon in summer, and the horse's poor appetite was probably caused by the heat.

Before sunset, Wang Laoqi came back and brought some food and wine for Ji Qiu.

Because the wine and food brought back by Wang Laoqi were relatively poor, Ji Qiu did not send it to Ji Haoran and others, and after everyone in the feeding house was busy, they wanted to find Wang Laoqi to eat wine together, but they couldn't find Wang Laoqi.

After waiting for a long time and not seeing Wang Laoqi come back, he returned to his residence, lay on his side, opened the paper bag, and took the braised food to eat.

At the time of the second watch, Wang Laoqi came, he came, his face was very ugly, his heart was restless, and he stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" asked Ji Qiu.

Wang Laoqi didn't answer immediately, and hesitated for a long time before he whispered, "It's a bad thing, I may have caused a big disaster." ”

Ji Qiu was originally lying on the bed, but when he heard Wang Laoqi's words, he hurriedly sat up, "What's wrong?"

Wang Laoqi said worriedly, "I went out during the day to buy andrographis and honeysuckle to reduce the dryness, put in the water in the evening, and fed them to those mounts. ”

"Did you buy the wrong medicine?" asked Ji Qiu.

Wang Laoqi shook his head and said, "That's not true, these two herbs are symptomatic, but Hu Er, who helped the stove before, dig out the ashes, I smelled a sour smell from the ashes of the plants and trees under the stove, if I didn't smell wrong, someone should have burned the stems and leaves of the aconitum from under the stove." ”

Ji Qiu didn't understand pharmacology, so he had to ask, "What is Aconite? ”

"Aconitum is a herb that blindly dispels wind and returns to yang, and it is originally non-toxic, but the medicinal effect of this substance will remain for half a month after entering the body, and during this period, if you encounter andrographis and cow tendon grass, it will generate strange poison," Wang Laoqi said here, raising his hand and pointing around, "I have seen it on the mountain before, and the cow tendon grass can be seen everywhere in the mountain, and most of the mounts on this mountain must have been poisoned." ”

Hearing Wang Laoqi's words, Ji Qiu instantly broke out in a cold sweat, "Then why are you still running to me here, hurry up and find a way to save it, if you poison the monks' mounts, they can skin you alive." ”

"Death is not death," Wang Laoqi shook his head and said, "Ox tendon grass has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and it will neutralize the toxicity, but it also has the effect of shrinking the tendons and returning to the meridians, which will make those mounts cramp and paralyzed, and they will not be able to fly into the air." ”

After Wang Laoqi finished speaking, Ji Qiu hurriedly went to the ground, "Oh no, someone wants to sneak attack the Soul Suppression Alliance, and they secretly poisoned them in order to prevent these mounts from rising into the air, so that the monks have no mounts to control them, go and walk, go and tell Aunt Hu and Tianxiangzi,"

"Those birds and beasts don't have symptoms yet, and I'm not sure if I'm too worried," Wang Laoqi hesitated, "In fact, I'm not sure that the sour smell in the ashes of the grass and trees under the stove is Aconite, if not, not only will there be a false alarm, but also a complaint." ”

"When is this, you are still afraid of complaining, you would rather believe it than believe it," Ji Qiu pulled Wang Laoqi out, "The stakes are very high, you can't hide it, if something really happens, it's over." ”

Wang Laoqi had concerns and didn't want to go, "Why don't you take a look and talk about it, maybe it's just a coincidence." ”

"You can't leave it to chance," Ji Qiu shook his head and said, "You can't be blamed for this, the murderer is someone else." ”

"It's better to wait a little longer......" Wang Laoqi stopped in the middle of his words.

Seeing that Wang Laoqi suddenly stopped, Ji Qiu turned around and wanted to urge, but after turning around, he found that Wang Laoqi was looking at the western sky with a shocked face.

Ji Qiu tilted his head to look west following Wang Laoqi's line of sight, but found that a large area of dark clouds appeared in the western sky, and looked at it again, where is this dark cloud, it is clearly a group of monsters with wings on their backs, there are many of them, and they are black and oppressive, and their movement trajectory is the area where the Soul Suppression Alliance is located.

"What should I do?" Wang Laoqi looked at Ji Qiu in horror.

Ji Qiu ignored him, forced his mind, and shouted a warning, "The enemy is coming......"
