Ying Wuxin sent the coachman, and when he walked into the village again, he saw that the courtyard of a family was lit up, and he walked around the road immediately.

"It's a Lang Zhong who kindly took us in. At the door, Li Zhengdao said with a smile.

Lang Zhong looks like he is in his thirties, and the face of an honest man belongs to the kind of public face that can't be found in the crowd, because he spends more time indoors as a doctor, his skin looks a little fair, but to the surprise of a few people, he lives alone and has no other family.

In the chat, Wang Banxian asked about the situation, and learned that Lang Zhong's name was Guo Min, his parents died early, and the villagers raised him, and later followed the old man in the village to learn about the doctor, because of his poor qualifications, he had been mixed poorly in the past few years, and the poor in the family couldn't open the pot, so naturally he had no money to marry a daughter-in-law, so he has been a single person now.

Guo Min made room for everyone to rest, and brought a few baked cakes and some dried fish.

"There are no other things at home, so if a few distinguished guests don't dislike it, just eat a little. ”

Ying Wuxin took it with a smile, thanked him, and casually took a baked cake and put it in his mouth, and ate it, the baked cake was still hot, and it was crispy outside, and he took another dried fish, and found that the dried fish was also hot, as if it had been steaming in the pot, and now it has become soft and crispy.

Ying Wuxin took the dried fish and took out the fish bones one by one, while throwing the fish meat into his mouth one by one, and the action of eating was quite skillful.

Li Zhengdao said with a smile: "Brother Wuxin, it turns out that there is still this way of eating. ”

Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen were a little resistant, took the baked cake, but did not move to get the dried fish, the fish are all three-inch long small crucian carp, although the small horizontal spines can be eaten directly after drying, but the large vertical spines still need to be peeled out, but the crucian carp is small, the meat is also less, plus the air drying, if you want to get the fish bones out, you can only use your hands one by one like Ying Wuxin, this eating is too unsightly, and the two women can't accept it for a while.

But Wang Banxian didn't care, he also picked up the baked cakes and dried fish, and ate them skillfully, it seems that he is also a veteran in this, Li Zhengdao smiled indifferently, rolled up his sleeves, and also started to peel the fish bones, while eating the baked cakes.

Seeing that the three men were eating very deliciously, the eyes of the two women flashed, but they never started.

Casually drank some herbal tea, washed their hands, and everyone found a place to rest, this time Li Zhengdao and Bai Miaozhen cultivated, Sun Xiaoman and Ying Wuxin leaned against the wall to sleep and rest.

Tomorrow I want to explore the situation in the village, and it is estimated that Sun Xiaoman's medical skills will be used, and it should be unintentional reasoning, so the two of them had better sleep and rest and recover their brainpower.

As for Wang Banxian, holding a bag of grain, he had already fallen asleep.

There was no word all night, and in the morning, the sun did not appear, and a heavy black cloud covered the sky, and after a gust of wind, the torrential rain crackled down.

Lang Zhong made breakfast and beckoned a few people out to eat, simple rice porridge, baked cakes, pickles, and dried fish.

"Brother Guo, has anything happened in your village, just this time. Ying Wuxin asked while eating.

Guo Min glanced at him, and the honest man's face didn't change much, and said, "Why did the distinguished guest suddenly ask this?"

"When we entered the village last night, we came across a monster that seemed to have taken a man away. Wang Banxian said.

Guo Min's face changed, and he said nervously: "It's here again, are you okay?"

"Naturally, it's okay, aren't we fine, listen to what you mean, you know?" Ying Wuxin asked with a smile.

Guo Min's honest face wrinkled, and he said distressedly: "This has been for a while, saying that there are monsters nearby, especially in our village, several people have disappeared, no one is alive, no body is dead, the case has been reported, and there are no clues until now, and now the people in the village are afraid and dare not go out at night, you came to knock on the door last night, it really scared me to death." ”

"I'm sorry, we also missed the time in a hurry, seeing that it was going to rain, we had to stay here for the night, I don't want to encounter this kind of thing, Brother Guo rest assured, we are all Taoists, we will definitely be able to catch the monsters here and find the missing people back." Li Zhengdao said solemnly.

Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen also puffed up their chests arrogantly, deliberately revealing the long sword behind their backs.

Guo Min was taken aback, "It turns out that you are all Taoist heroes, then our village will be saved, you must catch the monsters." ”

"Rest assured. Ying Wuxin also responded with a smile.

After breakfast, the rain outside became heavier and heavier, and there was a curtain of rain between the sky and the earth, and even the houses of the neighbors on the left and right could hardly be seen clearly.

With such a heavy rain, it is obviously not suitable for going out, several people have no rain gear, and Guo Min only has an oil-paper umbrella, which is obviously not enough, and everyone has no choice but to stay in the house and ask Guo Min about the missing person.

Guo Min did not hide it, he told everything he knew and heard, but everything happened at night, no one saw it with his own eyes, only knew that someone went out at night, and the person who went out disappeared, and he didn't come back overnight, and the next day the whole village searched all over and found nothing.

There are already several missing people in the village, there are old people, middle-aged people, and young people, and now the people are panicked, and they don't dare to go out at night, but it is useless to report to the official, and everyone is very sad.

After asking, Guo Min said goodbye and went to the house on the side to fiddle with the medicinal herbs, and the smell of herbs mixed with a lot of smells made the smell of the room change greatly.

Ying Wuxin walked to the door, looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and frowned slightly.

"Brother Wuxin, this time, it seems a little strange?" Li Zhengdao walked over and said with a solemn expression.

"That's true, if a person has fallen into the evil way, then he will definitely have a tyrannical personality, killing people, and cannibalism are the most likely things, so there will inevitably be some wreckage left behind for people to find traces, but there are so many people missing in the village, the entire village, and the nearby areas have been searched, and nothing has been found, which seems a little abnormal. Ying Wuxin nodded.

Sun Xiaoman on the side curiously communicated with Guo Min about medical skills, after Wang Banxian was full, he was bored and napping on the side, Bai Miaozhen came over, brushed his hair in his ear and said: "The villagers here are fishing in a small lake not far away, could it be that there are some monsters in the lake?"

Ying Wuxin said: "If it is a monster in the water, there will inevitably be water stains in the place where it appears, even if it is cultivated to a high level, there will definitely be a strong shade and cool water vapor, but we didn't feel this last night, and if it was just a simple monster, Brother Dao's Qi Hope Technique would have discovered it a long time ago, since it didn't, it means that he couldn't hide in the lake, but hid in the village." ”

"In the village?" Bai Miaozhen was slightly surprised.

Li Zhengdao's face also changed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "It's really good, it disappeared all at once last night, and it must be very familiar with the roads in the village, so it can avoid our eyes and escape quietly." ”

At this moment, Guo Min said to Sun Xiaoman: "I'm going to prepare some prescription medicines and say goodbye." ”

Sun Xiaoman smiled with satisfaction, got up and walked to the door.

"What kind of prescription medicine did he say, shouldn't Senior Sister Sun take a look? I see that you are quite curious?" Ying Wuxin asked strangely.

"Formula drugs are the secrets of every Lang, just like the style of Daoxia, they cannot be known by outsiders, and peers must also avoid them. Sun Xiaoman said.

"And this rule, so isn't this the promotion of a good recipe?"

"Cultivators won't publish the formula!" Sun Xiaoman said.

Ying Wuxin was stunned for a while, it was really the case, the Sanzhou Cultivation Dao has been thousands of years, and I haven't seen several styles spread, one is that it may not be able to cultivate, and the other is that the owner does not want to expose it.

If a cultivator is like this, he naturally cannot blame the practitioner.

The heavy rain continued until noon, and then gradually stopped, and the courtyard outside was still full of water, and Ying Wuxin couldn't wait to get out of the room.

When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, there was a loud noise outside, very noisy, but it was all in dialect, and the sound was very loud, and I couldn't hear it clearly for a while.

Ying Wuxin's ears moved, and he finally heard the content of the words clearly, and his face changed: "Something happened, there seems to be a problem with the land outside the village." ”

"Cemetery?" Guo Min came out of the room with a stunned face, and said anxiously to everyone, "The cemetery seems to have been washed away by heavy rain, and everyone in our village has to go and see it." ”

"Let's go too, maybe we can help. Li Zhengdao Mao then recommended himself.

Guo Min agreed, took a shovel from the house, walked outside, and shouted loudly, and someone nearby immediately echoed.

Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen glanced at each other, gritted their teeth, and followed, "Senior brother, let's go too." ”

"Okay, but be prepared. Li Zhengdao let out a sigh of relief.

Ying Wuxin shouted inside: "Half immortal, let's go." ”

Wang Banxian woke up, carried the wooden box, ran out, remembered something, he went back to the room, picked up Guo Min's oil-paper umbrella, trotted all the way, smiled and said unintentionally: "Little Daoye, take an umbrella, lest the wooden box get wet." ”

Sun Xiaoman looked at it curiously and said, "Elder Wang, what is in your wooden box, like a baby, you can't put it down when you sleep, it's so important?"

"Hey, the treasure that the gold and silver mountains don't change, it's so valuable, how can you leave it?" Wang Banxian said with a serious face.

"One thousand taels of silver, show me?" Saying this, Sun Xiaoman became even more curious.

"Don't give it, don't say 1,000 taels, don't give 10,000 taels, this is Xiao Daoye's thing, I have to take good care of it. ”

Sun Xiaoman was surprised, a person like Wang Banxian who is obsessed with money is indifferent to a thousand taels, it seems that there is really a treasure in this box.

This wooden box was made in Zhang Village, and at that time, Qianzi said that he had left a treasure for Ying Wuxin, and the things in it should be a treasure.

Just when Sun Xiaoman was curious about what was inside the wooden box, Li Zhengdao said, "The villagers have all set off, let's go." ”

Seeing that the senior brother didn't mean to be curious, Sun Xiaoman was embarrassed to ask again, and walked out of the courtyard gate with Bai Miaozhen.

Ying Wuxin said to the half-immortal: "Half-immortal, the performance is good, pay attention to continue to maintain it in the future." ”

"Okay, Xiao Daoye, just take a look. ”
