Chapter 52: Go to Hutou Ridge
After leaving Mingcui Tower, Jiang Chen left other things behind, and in a few days, the people sent from above were almost there.
He felt that there was definitely a great danger in Changgou Village, although they were only assisting the demon slayer on this trip, Jiang Chen felt that it was better to be prepared.
Jiang Chen walked through the streets of various sizes, and soon came to the Confused Pharmacy.
Bang bang!
"Lao Hu opened the door, it's me Jiang Chen." Jiang Chen patted the door, and there was soon movement in the pharmacy, but it was not Lao Hu who opened the door, but a tall square pillar with a pale face and a fluffy chin.
"Why are you here, old Hu?" Jiang Chen was slightly surprised.
Fang Zhu shook his head and said, "It's not that you brought that black wolf, Lao Hu hasn't rested for a few days and nights, and he is still studying that wolf corpse." ”
"I've been helping him look at the pharmacy for the past few days." Fang Zhu sighed, he couldn't figure out what kind of charm that wolf corpse had that could make Lao Hu so crazy.
"Don't worry about Lao Hu for now, I'm going to go out these days and prepare something for me." Jiang Chen got straight to the point.
"Where are you going?" Fang Zhu asked curiously, and he opened the door to let Jiang Chen in.
The pungent smell of medicinal herbs from the pharmacy came to his face, making Jiang Chen frown.
"Hutouling, Changgou Village." Jiang Chen replied.
"Hutou Ridge! So far away, there were a lot of poisonous insects and beasts in that place. Fang Zhu was surprised, but he didn't ask too much, he also knew that Jiang Chen was a patrol of the Yamen, and he might have gone to that place to carry out a certain mission.
"Whatever you want, I'll get it for you."
"Give me some mosquito repellent medicine, as well as healing medicine, hemostatic medicine, antidote, and good medicine powder." Jiang Chen reported his needs.
Fang Zhu nodded, and it didn't take long to sort all the pills into small pill bottles.
Jiang Chen picked up a large bag of heavy medicine jars, took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms and handed it to Fang Zhu.
Fang Zhu saw the one hundred taels of silver tickets in Jiang Chen's hand, his eyes were full of a hint of strangeness, and he wanted to stop talking.
"No need to look for it!" Jiang Chen waved his hand, picked up the medicine and was about to leave.
"The money is not enough...... but Fang Zhu's weak voice came from behind him, Jiang Chen was suddenly a little embarrassed, and quickly turned around.
"Lao Hu's medicine powder is more expensive, just those two bottles of antidote medicine powder cost a hundred taels." Fang Zhu was embarrassed to speak.
"So expensive!" This time it was Jiang Chen's turn to be surprised, no wonder Lao Hu's pharmacy was about to close down, who could use such an expensive medicine.
"Fang Zhu, Jiang Chen will come over to get the medicine in the future, he doesn't need to collect money for whatever he wants." At this moment, Lao Hu's voice came from the cubicle behind the pharmacy.
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he saw Lao Hu's face covered with dirt walking out of the cubicle, his clothes were stained with brown blood, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hair was even more messy, but his eyes were extremely bright.
As soon as Jiang Chen saw the look in Lao Wang's eyes, he immediately knew that Lao Hu had gained something on the wolf corpse.
"Lao Hu, thank you, I'll drink with you when I come back from Changgou Village." Jiang Chen was not hypocritical, and after taking the medicine and dispersing it, he left quickly, and he had to prepare other things.
"Old Hu, has the sun risen in the west? When did you become so generous? Looking at Jiang Chen's departing back, Fang Zhu asked with some curiosity.
"Stinky boy, the old man doesn't believe that you haven't noticed that Jiang Boy has become a lot stronger! Every time they met, Jiang Boy's qi and blood were much stronger than before. ”
Lao Hu's eyes showed excitement, the value of the wolf corpse brought by Jiang Chen alone was not less than 10,000 taels of silver, and these small medicine powders were nothing.
"You old man is very bad, are you trying to make up your mind again?" Fang Zhu touched his chin and muttered softly.
……
Jiang Chen bought a lot of things on the street, and while this trip was full of danger, his heart was also full of expectations.
He also wanted to see what kind of abilities the so-called demon slayer possessed, and what means he had to kill strange things.
Under Jiang Chen's expectation, three days passed soon.
Early in the morning of the third day, Jiang Chen got up early in the morning, he put on a slightly larger backpack, and after eating a large and hearty breakfast in Meimei, he quickly came to the yamen.
The other twelve patrols arrived one after another, all of them carrying a lot of things on their backs, and they were obviously all ready, and the yamen was equipped with a tall horse for everyone.
"Jiang Chen, you brought so many medicines, didn't you bring anything to eat?" Wang Er asked curiously, most of the people brought dry food and water, and only Jiang Chen brought a lot of medicinal powder.
"Lao Hu, isn't there a lot of game in that place in Hutouling? Are you afraid that you won't have anything to eat? Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Besides, the weather is hot, even if it is dry food, it can't be kept for a few days, so it's better not to bring it, and then go to hunt some game, wouldn't it be even more wonderful."
"You're still such a chicken thief." Lao Wang smiled dumbly.
Not long after, Zhou Zhan also came to the yamen, and after nodding to a few people, he stopped talking, but his eyes lingered on Jiang Chen for a short time.
"Jiang Chen, you come with me." Zhou Zhan was silent for a moment and called Jiang Chen away alone.
"Have you broken through to Condensation?" Jiang Chen followed Zhou Zhan into the corridor next to the yamen, and Zhou Zhan asked directly.
"Yes, sir." Jiang Chen nodded, in this year's contact, Jiang Chen also knew that Zhou Zhan was an upright person and had no bad intentions, so naturally he didn't hide it.
"Sure enough." Hearing this, Zhou Zhan nodded, his eyes had a strange look, if he was not mistaken, Jiang Chen was only twenty years old.
A half-step grandmaster who was not yet twenty years old, Zhou Zhan was shocked when he thought about it, he glanced at Jiang Chen deeply, and he didn't ask too much, everyone had secrets on their bodies, including him.
"You're good!" Zhou Zhan continued: "This time I went to Changgou Village, I have a sense of foreboding, if I encounter danger, if I can help, I will try to help them, and they will be handed over to you." ”
"Boss, don't worry, wrap it up on me." Jiang Chen nodded solemnly, and after Zhou Zhan saw Jiang Chen nodding, he stopped talking.
The two continued to wait at the gate of the yamen.
Everyone was quietly waiting for the two exorcists sent from above, but this was only an hour.
It wasn't until the sun gradually became fierce and the morning sun was full of ground that everyone saw two figures, one tall and one short, slowly appearing from the front.
Both of them are wearing Taoist robes, and the tall man is a middle-aged man with a Chinese face.
His complexion was ruddy and shiny, his forehead was full, his eyes were solemn, his waist was straight, he carried a black sword on his back, and he wore black cloth shoes with white soles.
The woman is also dressed in a Taoist robe, but she looks pretty, with a hint of innocence, and her eyes are moving around.
After Zhou Zhan saw the visitor, he hurriedly greeted him respectfully.
"I've seen adults."
The middle-aged man nodded and spoke: "Poor Dao Lin Jiu, this is Poor Dao Senior Sister Shao Lin." ”
"I waited for the two of them to come here to solve the matter of Changgou Village."
"There are two adults, please rest first."
"No need, it's important to get down to business." The middle-aged man refused, and Zhou Zhan was not in front of him, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring two horses over.
"Let's go." Zhou Zhan was also resolute in his work, and immediately rode a horse and took the lead in leading the way.
Jiang Chen and the others also hurriedly followed behind him and went to Hutouling.
