Li Zhengdao nodded in agreement, and the two of them flew up with Wang Banxian and went straight to the mountains and forests in the distance.

In the evening, the three of them sat down on a rock, gasping for breath.

Wang Banxian said: "Little Daoist, is there something wrong with your guess, why have you searched all over the vicinity, but you haven't found anything." ”

Ying Wuxin gritted his teeth slightly, "It seems that the murderer is far smarter than we thought, and he didn't simply throw the corpse, but handled the corpse to a certain extent, so that we couldn't find it at all." ”

"In fact, I should have thought a long time ago, there are several people missing in the village, and the nearby area must have been found by the villagers a long time ago, and if the body was casually thrown in the wild, it would have been found a long time ago. ”

"Brother Dao, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Li Zhengdao gasped, "I thought you had some advanced method?"

Ying Wuxin said: "Actually, I really have a profound method, I thought I wouldn't use it, but now it seems that I have to use it." ”

"What kind of advanced method, Xiao Dao Ye hurry up and use it, we are all tired to death, we have been busy for an afternoon, and we have no gain at all, how can I say it when I go back, it is too embarrassing." ”

Li Zhengdao also looked at it, his eyes were earnest.

"It's very simple, since the murderer has disposed of the corpse, it is nothing more than a few ways, one is the most common, buried directly in the soil, but there are mountains and forests nearby, there may not be large beasts in it, but some foxes and wolves still have it, their sense of smell is very keen, there is no coffin and enough soil seal, the general corpse buried in the soil, will be found, pulled out and eaten, but they will not bury the corpse back, the rest of the corpse bones rot, naturally will attract crows and some birds that eat carrion, we just need to explore the surrounding movements, maybe there will be a discovery。 ”

Li Zhengdao shook his head, "No, this is not much different from the investigation we just had, we have all seen it around here, and there are no abnormal animals and birds, maybe the corpse was thrown into the water." ”

"Water is the second way to dispose of corpses, but sooner or later they will decompose and float on the surface of the water, attracting birds or animals that eat carrion, and we have seen the water in this vicinity, and there is no abnormality at all. "There should be no heart.

"Little Daoist, could it be that you guessed wrong, the corpse has been destroyed a long time ago, and there is no movement here!" Wang Banxian sighed.

Ying Wuxin was silent for a while, and said with some disappointment: "Maybe it's really possible that the corpse was destroyed, or it was hidden in a very hidden place, even beasts and birds can't find it." ”

"Let's go back and talk about it. ”

Li Zhengdao wiped the sweat from his forehead.

When it got dark, the three of them returned to Guo Min's house, Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miao were really waiting, and had dinner together, Guo Min got up with the medicine box on his back and said: "There are two families whose men have made old mistakes again, I must go over and take a look." ”

"Please. Ying Wuxin saw that Guo Min looked anxious, knowing that his condition could not be delayed, and he didn't ask anything more.

Guo Min left in a hurry, and his back quickly disappeared into the darkness outside the courtyard gate.

"How's your situation going?" asked Li Zhengdao.

Bai Miaozhen shook his head, but Sun Xiaoman said: "I have a little gain here." ”

"What's the catch?" the three men all came to their senses at once, and their eyes looked at each other.

Sun Xiaoman smiled and waved his hand: "It's not what you think, I'm talking about the discovery of the medical Tao." ”

Ying Wuxin and Wang Banxian lost interest all of a sudden, and Li Zhengdao asked with a smile, "What did you find?"

"The fishermen here fish all year round, because they are exposed to fishy fish and cool water vapor, and after a long time, a special kind of sores will grow on their bodies, called yin fish sores. It is very painful, and it is extremely difficult to cure, this yin fish sores are not only here, but may appear in other places where people who fish all year round, but even the medical practitioners of the three major sects have no effective treatment methods, and can only borrow some yang qi feet, or fire qi enough drugs or magic weapons to cooperate with the treatment, in order to suppress the yin fish sores, but it is difficult to eradicate them, if the patient is exposed to too much water vapor and fish fish in the future, he will still fall ill again. Sun Xiaoman said this, glanced at Guo Min's pharmacy, and said with a mysterious smile: "But Guo Min has a more effective prescription, which can effectively suppress yin fish sores, and even some people have been completely cured." ”

"So powerful?" Li Zhengdao was surprised, the medical skills of the three Dao Dao sects can be said to be the best in the world, even they have no good way to treat the yin fish sore, this humble small village Langzhong can actually treat it, it is unbelievable.

"No, didn't Guo Min say that his qualifications are not good?" Ying Wuxin said: "At this age, ordinary Langzhong has married wives and had children, and he hasn't even married a daughter-in-law, can he cure the stubborn things here in Yin Fish Sores?"

"He has only recently researched it, and it is a flash of inspiration, the recipe he came up with has never been tried before, so the effect is very good, it is normal, the treatment is so mysterious, sometimes just changing the amount of a medicine can turn poison into good medicine, and of course good medicine can also become poison. Sun Xiaoman said excitedly,

"So next, I plan to learn from Brother Guo Min for advice, if I can learn this recipe, no one in the world will have to suffer from the pain of yin fish sores in the future. ”

Li Zhengdao exclaimed, "This is a good idea." ”

Ying Wuxin said: "Don't be happy too early, this recipe is researched by Guo Min, he belongs to him alone, to put it bluntly, it is equivalent to a formula that we personally comprehend, I want him to teach you, and it will be popularized in the world, there is not much hope." ”

"Not necessarily, Guo Min didn't want to monopolize it, I talked to him, he is not a person who cares about reputation, what he values is the health of the villagers, in this case, I gave him a sum of money, and promised to publicize his name, he has no need to object. ”

"Then I wish Senior Sister Sun good luck. ”

Sun Xiaoman originally wanted to go to see Guo Min's treatment of yin fish sores, but it was dark outside, and she didn't know where the patient's home was, so she had to give up.

Wang Banxian went to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and silently started to stay on the side.

After an hour, Guo Min came back with the medicine box on his back, seeing that it was getting late, Sun Xiaoman, as a woman, was naturally embarrassed to disturb again, so he went to the room with Bai Miaozhen to rest.

Ying had no intention of waiting for Guo Min to finish his work and ask if there were any other strange places nearby.

"What is a strange place?" asked Guo Min puzzled.

Li Zhengdao also almost lost his laughter, if this unintentional brother asked, it really sounded funny.

Ying Wuxin rubbed his nose and said, "It's just something more unusual." ”

"You want to see the sights?"

"It's not. ”

"Then you want to find minerals, herbs, elixirs?"

"Not really. ”

Guo Min smiled honestly and said, "This son might as well say directly, what do you want to ask?"

Ying Wuxin said: "Okay, I said it directly, I feel that the bodies of those missing people should be hidden somewhere, but I have searched all the places nearby, and there is no abnormal ......"

Ying Wuxin said, so he told his considerations again.

Guo Min's face changed slightly: "It is worthy of being a Taoist hero, this son's analysis is indeed very exciting." ”

"But the results of this investigation are clearly not in line with my assumptions. ”

Guo Min thought for a while and said with a smile: "When Childe said this, I thought of a place where if the corpse is hidden, animals and birds will not be able to find it." ”

"What place?" Ying Wuxin asked eagerly, Li Zhengdao and Wang Banxian were also surprised, they didn't expect Guo Min to know a place that they didn't expect.

"It's the reed field on the other side of the lake, don't look at it is all reeds, and many of them are silt, just below the surface of the water, very deep, and there are buffalo nearby that have fallen into it, and they can't pull it out, and if they throw their carcasses there, and fall into the mud, even if the beasts and birds have a keen sense of smell, they can't detect the smell under the silt. ”

Ying Wuxin sighed, slapped his head hard, his face was full of chagrin, he really forgot about this place, and he wandered around the lake for most of the afternoon in the afternoon, but he only thought about the water, and didn't pay attention to the swamp in the reeds.

But now that I think about it, the swamps here are peculiar, they are all hidden under the water, not locals, outsiders come, it is generally difficult to see, it seems that it is very right to communicate with the locals more.

thanked Guo Min, and the three of them returned to the room together to discuss with the two women how to investigate tomorrow.

Knowing that there is a swamp, you can hide the corpse, but it may not be easy to find it, because the terrain of the swamp is relatively strange, and it is difficult to explore it in ordinary ways.

Ying Wuxin said: "My suggestion is that one person control the water, one person control the soil, first carry out a certain degree of separation, and then use fire, it really doesn't work, let's find a way to build a circular passage that can go deep into the swamp for exploration, as long as we can find a corpse, we can get to that point when we know the situation here." ”

The others thought for a while, but there was no better way, and they all nodded in agreement.

Yu Ye didn't say anything, got up in the morning, and explained to Guo Min that they were going to the swamp to find the body, the five of them had some breakfast casually, and set off quickly, but not long after leaving, a few middle-aged men and a few young people chased after them, saying that the village chief asked them to help.

Ying Wuxin saw that they were still carrying ropes, shovels, mats, wheelbarrows and other tools, and two oxen, smiled and nodded in agreement, and everyone walked together to the reed field by the lake.

When he arrived at the place, a young man named Shi Kang pointed out the situation on the shore, saying where to go, where the cattle could not pass, Li Zhengdao changed the seal in his hand, and directly burned the reeds along the way into ashes, making an obvious way out.

The villagers were stunned when they saw that the cyan reeds were directly burned into ashes, which was extremely fast, and it did not affect the reeds next to them.

For the next action, everyone is full of confidence.

Regardless of whether you are exploring the terrain to make sure you are not entering a dangerous area.

When he arrived at a place, Shi Dare said: "This is the last safe area we have explored, and further on, it is all mud trapped in people, and the cattle can't pull it in." ”
