Chapter 32: Deterioration of the situation
Tian Yinzhen didn't expect that the pill He Jianfei gave him did not have the effect of detoxification, but had another miraculous effect.
After taking this pill, she felt very painful in her stomach at first, and her whole body was sore, but after a while, a warm breath wafted in her lower abdomen, and her whole body was as comfortable as taking a hot bath, and she broke out in a cold sweat, and then, the pain in her stomach also disappeared magically.
"What kind of miracle medicine is this? If you let the women on earth who suffer from menstrual cramps know, I'm afraid they will be sold out, right?" she couldn't help but smile with curiosity.
Although menstruation is troublesome, but the most headache is the painful feeling that makes people almost crazy, now this feeling is gone, she hurriedly left the inn, went to the shop not far away to buy some cotton cloth back, sweating profusely for an hour, and finally temporarily solved this headache.
Huaiyin County Ya, located in the center of the county, covers a small area, and there is no gorgeous building, the county commander Li Xingquan, is a good official praised by everyone, because of the people's righteous speech and was demoted, only came here, I don't want to be haunted by haunted things all day long, and I haven't slept a few good nights.
Although the court of Chu has sent a group of immortal masters to help in advance, and Huaiyin County has recruited a group of its own, but there are too many things that come to the county government every day to report the ghosts, and the emergency documents fly like snowflakes.
"Report!" When Li Xingquan was anxious and had nothing to do, suddenly an errand officer strode from outside the county ya, came to the yamen, immediately knelt on the ground, and said breathlessly: "Report to your lord, there is an immortal master outside the county government who asks to see him, claiming to be a cultivator. ”
"What, Lord Immortal, Please, Please!" Li Xingquan hurriedly stood up happily.
After a while, Tian Yinzhen and Fang Wenyou followed He Jianfei into the county office, He Jianfei had actually been here once, but Li Xingquan happened to go out on an errand that day, so the two actually met for the first time.
As soon as he saw these two men and one woman, an old man and two young people coming in, Li Xingquan couldn't help but pause, and hurriedly politely went down to the hall and asked: "Welcome to the immortal master to come to this county to catch ghosts and subdue demons, but I don't know... Which of the three is the Immortal Master?"
He Jianfei said with the corners of his mouth curled when he heard this: "Poor Dao came from the Nine Immortals of Ziyun Mountain, in order to catch ghosts and subdue demons, these two Taoist friends came here thousands of miles away, and after hearing about the strange things in Zhou Laohan's house, they were also quite interested, so they came with Poor Dao." ”
"So, the three of them are all immortal masters?" Li Xingquan was overjoyed when he heard this, and he couldn't care about his identity as the lord of a county, so he hurriedly saluted the three of them: "Immortal masters, you are righteous!
After that, the restrained color on his face was even stronger.
Of course He Jianfei knew why, and he had to sigh in his heart, he could only do his best to do these things, what others thought, but he couldn't intervene, although there were sects like the Nine Immortals Sect in the cultivation world that were willing to enter the world to help others, but more of them were not concerned about themselves, and they didn't care about the mortal world, except for going down the mountain when they opened the mountain to accept apprentices, basically the cultivators of these sects would not have much to do with mortals in their lives.
Otherwise, if the major cultivation sects are willing to contribute, some powerful ghosts who are not even in the Yuan Infant Stage can be easily swept away.
Ninety percent of cultivators regard mortals as ants, but they themselves are high gods, how can there be an intersection between gods and mortals?
After thinking about this in his heart, He Jianfei frowned and continued to ask: "That county lord, I don't know how many evil ghosts are doing in the entire Huaiyin County now, and how bad is the situation?"
When Li Xingquan heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he sighed and said: "Don't hide it from the three immortal masters, the rampant things of the ghosts have reached the point where they have to be cleaned up!
"What?" He Jianfei and the three of them couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard this, He Jianfei said in disbelief: "Is the matter really so serious?"
"How dare I deceive?" When Li Xingquan heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head again and again, and said with a wry smile: "In the past ten days, a total of 20 immortal masters have come to this county to help catch ghosts, and if you add three, you will be twenty-three! However, there are at least seven or eight cases of evil ghosts reported to this county every day!"
"Bang!" A teacup in Fang Wenyou's hand was suddenly accidentally dropped to the ground by him, shattered into a piece of porcelain slag, he couldn't help but tremble, and asked with a blank face: "Seven or eight pieces?"
"Yes!" Li Xingquan let out a long breath, as if he was a little better because someone was suffering from the depression in his heart with him, and said: "There is even worse news, among the twenty immortal masters, one has been confirmed dead, three are missing, five were seriously injured by ghosts, and the rest were slightly injured..."
"That's enough!" He Jianfei stood up abruptly when he heard this, and said with an angry face: "Li County Order, I know this, don't tell anyone again! In addition, please take us to see Zhou Laohan now, it will change later!"
"Yes, yes!" Li Xingquan finally recovered a little bit of the appearance of a court official at this time, straightened the clothes on his body, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked to the backyard of the county government with the three of them and a few guards.
Zhou Laohan sat in the backyard of the county government in despair, although he didn't sleep and didn't worry about eating, but where could he eat and sleep? As soon as he closed his eyes, the terrible white ghost immediately appeared in the dream, as if he was with him, and now his spirit was about to collapse, and suddenly he saw He Jianfei and the three of them coming to him with Li Xianling, as if they had met a savior, and couldn't help crying with tears.
This scene made Tian Yinzhen can't help but think of a sentence in his heart: "Xing, the people are suffering, declining, the people are also suffering!" No matter when, the unlucky ones are always at the bottom, the cultivators of the human world and the powerful ghosts of the ghost world are fighting, and in the end, it is these ordinary mortals who are the most injured.
I only heard He Jianfei sigh, his tone softened, and he asked kindly: "Old Zhou, you don't have to be so anxious, although the ghosts are rampant at the moment, there will be a day when you will be subdued! Now you tell me, what else have you experienced in the past few days before you encountered these things, right?"
"Also... What else has you experienced?" Zhou Lao'er recalled desperately when he heard this, and after a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up, his voice was low, and he leaned his head over with some fear and said, "Master Immortal, your question really reminds me of a strange thing?"
"What's weird? He Jianfei was also refreshed when he heard this, and suddenly raised his tone and asked.
"Uh..." Zhou Lao'er looked at Tian Yinzhen and Fang Wenyou, hesitated for a moment, and after getting the approval of the county order, he continued: "If you want to talk about strange things, there is really one thing, my neighbor Lao Sun, a few days ago, often told me that he was going to sell the store and stop doing this business, I asked him why, but he just didn't say it." ”
After saying this, Zhou Lao'er swallowed his saliva, and then continued to say steadily: "Immortal Master doesn't know, that Sun Lao'er is no more lonely than my old Zhoutou, his family has a big business, and the business is doing very well, a family of more than a dozen people rely on this paper money shop to live, his shop not only sells paper money, but also sells some other things related to funerals, especially those children and virgins or something, it is simply lifelike, and it looks like it is alive!"
When Zhou Lao'er said this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in a quiet tone: "Sometimes I go to his house to play chess at night, and I can't help but be startled when I accidentally see it!"
"And then?" Tian Yinzhen heard Zhou Lao'er's words, and only felt that this old man seemed to have a nervous disorder suddenly, but He Jianfei didn't care about these and continued to ask.
"And then..."Zhou Lao'er continued to say mysteriously: "Then I also found out that Sun Lao'er's house is often lit up after midnight, I don't know what I'm doing, even I, as long as it's past the middle of the night, I must not stay in his house." ”
"Where is Sun Lao'er?" He Jianfei suddenly stood up and asked coldly.
"Uh..."Zhou Lao'er smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I don't know about this, a few days ago he said that he would take his family back to the countryside to live for a few days, and he should be back soon, if the immortal master wants to see him, he might as well wait a little longer." ”
He Jianfei immediately shook his head when he heard this, and said coldly: "This old man Sun has a problem, he can't wait any longer! The situation is urgent, this person must be found immediately, not to mention the rest, with his many mysterious behaviors, it is worth making people suspicious!"
"That's right!" Li County Ling also immediately stood up and nodded when he heard this: "I can't control that much for the time being, I will now order someone to go to his house and invite him, even if he is in the countryside, he must find it, and if he is charged with trespassing on a private house afterwards, this official will also bear it!"
