The three of them chatted until the sky was slightly bright, and the three of them were of the same age and quickly got along with each other, and learned that the man in the pharmacy was called Zhou Xun and was a pharmacy guy, and the boss lived elsewhere, so he needed to keep vigil here every day. The monk's name is Huijie, and he was a native of Jinan before he became a monk, and he was half a fellow countryman with Liu Zhenquan. The two also learned about this Taoist priest wearing a Confucian robe.

The three of them decided to study the case together tomorrow to determine what the cause was.

There are still few people who come to see this disease during the day, Zhou Xun is busy grabbing medicine, Keisuke is sitting at the door and has already settled, Liu Zhenquan feels that he can't help and plans to go out, looking for someone from the Sword Dance Palace to tell them the reason by the way, just out of the door, a group of people rushed to the door, and there was a person in the middle.

"Lang Zhong, hurry up and save your life. ”

The man was carried into the pharmacy by everyone, his face was already blue and he was swinging all over, Lang Zhong looked at the patient and said, "What's the matter?"

"My second brother and I came to sell fish today, but the boat slipped to the ferry and fell into the water all of a sudden, and it was like that. ”

"No, drowning doesn't cause the heart and lungs to be so weak, it looks like the pulse and your second brother's tongue should be caused by wind and evil entering the body, did your second brother have been infected with wind and cold before?"

"Lang Zhong is right, my second brother suffered from the wind cold a month ago and has not recovered, and this year's strong man is now much thinner. ”

As soon as Liu Zhenquan heard the word wind and cold, he kicked Zhou Xun, and Zhou Xun willingly pulled aside a fisherman who sent the patient with him, and asked, "Is there anyone else in your village who is infected with wind cold?"

The fishermen were shocked when they heard it, and it was okay to carry it if the wind and cold were a minor illness, but if they couldn't resist it, it was easy to die, because there were no doctors in many villages, and they had to catch up with dozens of miles or even more to find Langzhong, so it was generally cured by local methods.

Nodding his head and saying, "For some reason, more than a dozen households in our village have been infected with wind cold, and there are even more in the next village, and I heard that people have begun to die." ”

Liu Zhenquan asked, "Which village is the most severe in the wind chill?"

"Yunxi Village, on the edge of our village, is southwest of Danyang Lake, near Daze. ”

Liu Zhenquan was about to leave after hearing this, but was stopped by Monk Huijie, "Why are you in such a hurry, even if we go by boat, it will take 3 days, and at least 10 days to walk around the lake." Liu Zhenquan said: "I'm going to take a look over there first, and you can bring your things and come over." ”

After speaking, he ran to the inn to get his own things, and then bought a big gourd wine from the inn and ran to the southwest, waited out of the city gate, walked into a woods, and used the vest technique he had just learned, and the whole person turned into an afterimage, and quickly ran towards Yunxi Village.

Finally, when the mana was exhausted, Yunxi Village could be seen in the distance. After Liu Zhenquan drank a gourd of water, he looked at his clothes that he didn't know where he scratched and shouted: "Lao Tzu will no longer use the vest technique to hurry." ”

After a night of meditation and barely recovering some of his mana, Liu Zhenquan threw away his tattered Confucian robe, and still changed into a Taoist robe and walked towards Yunxi Village.

There was a dead air in the village, and even the villagers who had gone east seemed to have lost hope in life, and a sense of sadness haunted everyone's heads. Liu Zhenquan entered the village and asked for the name of the village, but everyone bowed their heads and said nothing, or just waved their hands and turned their heads to leave.

Liu Zhenquan could only withdraw to look for clues by himself, and after waiting for three days for Monk Huijie and Zhou Xun to come, he saw Liu Zhenquan who was depressed and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No one paid any attention to me, only to see that the whole area was full of dead air. ”

"Don't worry, let's find a way together. Zhou Xun comforted.

"The people in the village have lost the courage to live, and they are all waiting for death. ”

"Don't worry, let the little monk go and find out. ”

After saying that, the monk Huisuke, who was dressed in a white monk's robe, dragged the bowl to the village, and it was really a bit otherworldly, and there was a better seller than me.

After a while, the monk Keisuke ran over: "I asked, they said that the goddess said that they killed a dragon who came out to play in the water half a year ago, and the dragon lord sent a divine punishment, if they run to other villages, it will also bring disaster to others." ”

"It's the Dragon King's business again?"

"Why have you seen the Dragon King?"

"I've beaten me away. ”

"My Buddha is merciful and cannot speak falsely. ”

.......

"Don't brag, monk, you continue. ”

"At first they thought it was a big python, the snake swallowed a child in the village who was playing in the water, and everyone made a trap to kill the snake and ate it, and then there was a divine punishment, and now the snake bone is buried by the name of the village on the riverside. ”

"Monk, what do you think, I feel that someone is making trouble, and I will go and dig out the snake tonight. ”

"Don't be impulsive, I feel that the bell must be tied to the bell, if nothing else, we will go to meet the goddess first. ”

Zhou Xun looked at the two and said, "Why are you so sure that there is something wrong with the goddess?"

"This Taoist master has traveled to the rivers and lakes, and I have never seen a good goddess. ”

"Haven't you only been out for a few months?"

Liu Zhenquan, who was exposed, said: "Don't care about the details, can you? The monk and I both decided that there would be no mistake, just follow along." ”

I can't help but say that the two of them took Zhou Xun to the Dragon King Temple of the goddess.

The three of them pushed the door and now, they found that one of the goddesses was eating and offering in the Dragon King Temple, there were fish and meat, Liu Zhenquan smiled and said to Zhou Xun: "See, I'm right, the goddesses are all lies." Eating the offerings of the villagers, sitting on harmful deeds. ”

After speaking, he sat on the table, "Tell me, what's going on in Yunxi Village?"

The goddess looked at the three of them and cracked their mouths with missing teeth: "Aren't you afraid of being angry with the Dragon King in the next life?"

"Amitabha, the donor is not afraid of eating the offerings of this dragon king, what are we afraid of?"

"Monk, don't say it, let this old woman try the Taoist master's soul searching technique. ”

"Wait a little for the Taoist priest, let the little monk ask again, otherwise if you continue to search for souls, this old woman will definitely become demented. As if they had cooperated for many years, Liu Zhenquan and Monk Huijie sang and harmonized, and the frightened goddess trembled all over. Very cooperative, he told everything he knew.

Liu Zhenquan asked Zhou to find a pen and paper, record what the goddess said one by one, and ask her to sign and draw it.

When he got out, Zhou Xun quietly asked, "Does Zhenquan's soul searching technique really make you stupid?"

Hearing this, the two laughed, "There is a soul searching technique, but the poor Dao can't, and I don't know the effect, the old woman should be right, the evil Dao person is really in Yunmengze, and he has also looked for her." ”

"Zhou Xun, you hurry back to report to the official, ask the government to come forward to control the condition, and the Taoist priest and I will go to Yunmengze to investigate. ”

Zhou Xun knew that he couldn't help in the future, so he could only wish the two of them well.

After the three of them separated, Liu Zhenquan said to Keisuke with a serious face: "Monk, can you cultivate here?"

"The little monk seems to be a line higher than the Taoist friend. Keisuke said seriously.

Hearing this, Liu Zhenquan thought indignantly, the people who formed the team with me were higher than me, and I was the lowest entry caliper.

The two rowed the fishing boat to Yunmengze, only to see that Daze was wrapped in water vapor, and he couldn't see the inside clearly from the outside, and when the boat sailed into the fog, he couldn't see the surroundings clearly at all, even if Liu Zhenquan used his mana, he could only see the surrounding area, at this time Keisuke said: "Daoist friends be careful that this fog can isolate the divine sense." ”
