Hu Ji squeezed into the room from the fat man, his gaze swept subconsciously.

The decoration of the room was not luxurious, but it exuded a sense of mystery, and against the wall was a huge statue of a two-person god, carved of a mysterious man in a black robe, whose face was completely obscured by the shadow of the hood, and it was impossible to see clearly.

There were also a number of men and women in black robes standing in the room, and their chests were marked by three waves sewn with silk threads, proving that they were followers of the Black River God.

Huji stood in the room, listening to the prayers of those people, and his heart was troubled.

Soon, however, the fat man who had taken his money bag came out of the back room, still holding a wooden box in his hand.

Hu Ji took the wooden box, counted it, and found that the pills in it were nearly half less than in the past, and suddenly a wave of anger rushed to the top of his head, but when he raised his head, he saw several strong men in black robes emerging next to the fat man.

"Brother Hu, this is a reward from the Black River God, you have to take it, otherwise if you offend the Black River God and send down a divine punishment, I won't be able to protect you." The fat man looked at Hu Ji with a smile and said pretentiously.

Seeing this situation, Hu Ji could only suppress his anger and ask, "Dare to ask if the medicine given by the god of Heihe is so expensive, can it really cure the green poison disease?" My mother-in-law has been eating for so long, why hasn't she seen any better? ”

"Bold, you dare to question the Black River God! Your wife's illness is not cured, it is because she is not pious, if you go back and let her chant the scriptures of the Black River God a few more times, the medicinal effect will naturally come up, so don't mess around here! The fat man snorted coldly, raised his hand and waved, and several strong men on the side drove Hu Ji out with a push.

Outside the house, Hu Ji was pushed by them and fell, and finally managed to protect the wooden box in his hand, and when he got up, the door of the house had already been closed, and seeing this, he could only get up and turn around and walk towards the residence.

At the same time, on the roof of the house, a soul crow also had a panoramic view, and when he saw Hu Ji leaving, he also flapped his wings, and his body blurred into the ground, and soon disappeared.

……

Because his wife had already taken pills before, when Hu Ji returned, he put the wooden box away first, and then went about the housework.

It's just that in his heart, he unconsciously had a trace of doubt about the "Black River God", and at the same time, there was a little inexplicable resentment, but at the moment he had no other way than to trust the "Black River God".

Medicine is better than myrrh.

When he returned to the house after working at home for a while, hanging up all the washed clothes, he was surprised to find that a man in a plain robe was talking to his daughter.

Seeing this situation, Hu Ji's heart sank, and he hurriedly went up, wanting to block in front of his daughter, but when he saw the man's face, he was stunned.

"Eun Gong?"

Yuan Ming smiled and nodded at him: "I haven't seen you for many days, I am relieved to see you so energetic." ”

Hu Ji knelt in front of Yuan Ming excitedly: "The villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai before, and he has a lot of disrespect to Engong on the way back, and thanks to Engong for his magnanimity, not only regardless of the fault of the villain, but also rescued the villain in the black wind. ”

Yuan Ming looked at Hu Ji quietly, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth.

Hu Ji is indeed a smart person, and he also knows very well that as a monk, Yuan Ming will not find him for no reason, so at the first time they met, he expressed his gratitude and willingness to do things for Yuan Ming.

"I have come to you today to help you."

Yuan Ming said, walked straight to the offering table, pointed to the knife, picked up the tablet of the Black River God, erased the words on it, and engraved three words again - "Stygian Moon God".

"From now on, I want you to preach in the city in the name of the Moon God, the more believers there are, the richer the rewards I will give you, and after reaching a certain number, even if you are allowed to embark on the immortal path, it is not impossible." Yuan Ming said.

Hu Ji did not hesitate at all: "Abide by the decree of Engong, the villain will definitely go all out in the future and live up to Engong's high expectations, but the villain still has one more thing, I hope to get Engong's help." ”

Yuan Ming said directly: "But do you want me to cure your wife's illness?" ”

"Engong is like a god, and the villain does have this intention, but this matter is not only out of the villain's selfishness, but also for the sake of Engong's mission." Hu Ji said.

"Tell me about it." Yuan Ming looked at Hu Ji, with a hint of school examination in his words.

"The villain also mentioned to Engong before that the sources of mortals in the Black Wind Desert are mixed, and because it is at the junction of Qin and Zhao and the Northern Desert, each city is mixed with the people of Qin and Zhao and the Northern Desert, and the people of Zhao and Zhao are below, and the villain's mother-in-law is from the Northern Desert, the Central Plains people have no religious habits, and most of the Northern Desert people already have beliefs, so it is not easy to spread Protestantism."

Hu Ji knew that Yuan Ming was examining his vision and judgment ability, so he didn't dare to be sloppy when explaining.

"Besides, all mortals in the Black Wind Desert are slaves of monks, although their vision is limited, but they will not bow down because they see ordinary spells, if you want to get their faith, you must be able to effectively solve the problems they face, and recently in the trapped sand city, the biggest problem faced by mortals is green poison, that is, the disease of the villain's mother-in-law, as long as this disease can be solved, maybe faith is as easy as a finger."

Hearing this, Yuan Ming asked, "What you said, but what the Black River God Sect did?" ”

"That's right, the Black River Divine Sect is a Protestant religion that made its fortune through this matter, and now it has also gained a large number of believers by selling divine medicines, as long as Engong can teach the villain to make pills with slightly better medicinal effects, he can pocket all the believers they recruited." Hu Ji nodded.

"You don't have to worry about this, those medicines of theirs are just some clay pills, there is no aura fluctuation at all, just things to fool people, this bottle of my elixir, you just took it and soaked it in water, turned it into a medicinal pulp and distributed it, and the effect is thousands of times better than theirs."

Yuan Ming shook his head, took out a bottle of low-grade detoxification pill, and put it on the offering table.

Hu Ji was overjoyed and hurriedly got up and took the pill, said a word to Yuan Ming, and hurriedly entered the bedroom.

Yuan Ming didn't care, and didn't follow in, his eyes swept casually in the room, but at this time, Hu Ji's daughter walked up to Yuan Ming with a bowl in both hands, and said in a crisp voice:

"Eun Gong, please have tea."

At only six years old, she didn't know Yuan Ming's identity as a monk, and seeing that her father was so respectful, she also subconsciously gave Yuan Ming tea according to the treatment she had treated as a guest in the past.

Yuan Ming was moved by her sensibility, but he looked down at the tea in the bowl, but he couldn't cry or laugh.

I saw a few broken leaves floating in the pale green tea, and the heat was steaming up, but it was not the aroma of tea, but a sour smell.

Where did Yuan Ming drink this kind of tea, but looking at the girl's sincere gaze, the remaining softness in his heart was touched, and he couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to take a sip and drink it.

However, with this sip of tea, Yuan Ming suddenly frowned, and as soon as he raised his hand, he summoned the flower branch.

Before the girl met, there was suddenly a rattan monster, and she was startled at first, and then she had the courage to touch Huazhi's arm, with a curious face.

Yuan Ming didn't have time to care about her, and directly handed the tea bowl to Hua Zhi and said, "Look at where the poison in the tea comes from." ”

Hua Zhi took the tea bowl, dipped his fingers in the tea, twisted the broken leaves inside, and swallowed it into his body in one gulp.

After a while, he came to the conclusion: "Master, the water is poisonous." ”

Yuan Ming nodded, and at this moment, there was a cheer of surprise in the bedroom, and then he saw Hu Ji walking out with his wife in his arms, and the spots on her wife's face were much lighter than before.

"Engong, this is ......" Hu Ji was startled when he saw Huazhi as soon as he looked up.

"This is my partner, don't worry about it for now, I have a question for you, where does the water in your house come from? Have you ever let anything go? Or by whom? Yuan Ming asked.

Hu Ji thought for a moment and shook his head: "This water is drawn from the well every day, although the taste is not good, but the amount is still enough, each family beats their own, there will be no contact, let alone spill anything." ”

"Where is the well? Take me there. Yuan Ming commanded.

Hu Ji nodded, helped his wife to sit down, and then immediately led the way and took Yuan Ming to the well.

Soon, Yuan Ming arrived at the well and released a soul crow to go down the well, but when he followed the well all the way down, Yuan Ming found that the underground river connected to the well was located at an extremely deep place, and the water flow was extremely turbid, and he couldn't see what was inside at all.

Yuan Ming thought for a moment, then he had another idea, and once again released the flower branch to cover it up with illusion, ordering him to drill into the well and go down the dark river to find out the source of the poison of the well water.

Hua Zhi immediately received the order, went directly into the ground, and fled towards the dark river.

It took him a long time to reach the dark river, the turbid water obscured his vision, and he couldn't tell the direction, but he could feel the flow of toxins in the river water, and he went straight upstream.

After a while, Hua Zhi suddenly came out of the water, but saw that he had come to a wide underground air cave, and in the air hole, a whole body green, the shape of a ladybug, with tentacles on the top of the head, but the size of an ordinary person was lying on the stone wall, happily eating the corpses of other insects and monsters.

From its back, green bodily fluids drip to the ground, converging into a shallow pool of water, and eventually flowing into the dark river.

Seeing this, Hua Zhi immediately rushed up and fought with the insect demon.

This insect demon is only a second-level lower level, in terms of strength, it can't even bite the vines summoned by the flower branch, and the highly poisonous body fluids on the back have no effect on the flower branch, so it quickly fell into the downwind, and seeing that it was about to be killed, this insect demon suddenly became afraid, his body curled up, and the tentacles on the top of his head trembled and lowered, stretching out in the direction of the flower branch.

Sensing its submission, Huazhi stepped forward unequivocally, gently stabbed the insect demon with a vine, leaving a mark on its body, and then called it back to the ground with him.

On the ground, Yuan Ming listened to Hua Zhi tell the cause and effect, and learned that the toxin in the water had been solved, and while he was happy, he also began to think about whether he could use this matter to increase his willingness to collect.
