Chapter 66: The Past

(Thank you 'swm1211' for your great reminder, and thank you 'opendoo' for your big tip.) )

However, when it came to this matter, Wu Zheng showed a slightly embarrassed look on his face: "Hehe, the herbs that Brother Ding asks for every time he comes are more than a few decades old. These things are really hard to get. But after all these days, I've finally managed to get most of them together, but there are still a few ....... ”

It was not the first time that Ding Qi had collected medicinal herbs from Wu Zheng. However, just as Wu Zheng said just now, the herbs he needed were all more than ten years old, and each of them could be said to be precious and abnormal. In addition, in the past four years, the Qingyun Sect has also tried its best to search for anchovies in the surrounding area, resulting in a shortage of various medicinal herbs, and it is not easy to search for the various medicinal herbs that Ding Qi needs.

Every time Ding Qi asks Wu Zheng to collect, he can't collect them all, just like this time.

Hearing Wu Zheng just say that there were several kinds of herbs that had not been collected, Ding Qi did not have any disappointed look on his face. Listening to the various herbs that Wu Zheng reported to him just now, the various herbs that the pharmacy had collected, Ding Qi was actually very satisfied.

After all, Wu Zheng was able to collect so many herbs through various relationships, which was already far more efficient than other medicine shops in Liangcheng.

In the following time, after the two of them finished discussing the matter of the herb, Ding Qi was already preparing to leave.

"Speaking of which, there is one thing, Brother Ding. A year and a half ago, hundreds of horse bandits around Qixia Town were slaughtered overnight, do you remember?"

Hearing Wu Zheng's question, Ding Qi turned his head, slightly stunned, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and then quickly said, "Oh, Brother Wu is talking about that thing." This kind of thing, how can it be forgotten. Don't say it's me, it's impossible for anyone else living around Qixia Town to forget it. At that time, I was curious, so I went to the site to see it once. ”

Speaking of this, Ding Qi's face naturally showed a look of embarrassment.

Then, Ding Qi showed a strange look on his face, and asked Wu Zheng, "But Old Wu, why are you asking about this matter now." Although this incident was a sensation at the time, after all, some time has passed. ”

Hearing Ding Qi say this, Wu Zheng showed a helpless look on his face, and then said with emotion: "Hehe, Brother Ding, you should know that the reason why I came down from the position of the owner of the village was precisely because I was affected by that incident. At that time, I finally realized how dangerous it was to fall into the grass. Naturally, I'm more curious about this than others. Want to know something more. Brother Ding is from the vicinity of Qixia Town, and I think he will know more about the situation than I do. ”

Then, Wu looked at Ding Qi with an inquiring look.

In this regard, Ding Qi shook his head with a wry smile, and then said: "Regarding that matter, although I have been curious to the scene to see it, but what I know is actually only rumors in the market. I don't know more about other things than anyone else. ”

Hearing Ding Qi say this, Wu Zheng showed a slightly disappointed look on his face. Soon, though, his complexion calmed down. Wu Zheng had obviously expected earlier that the possibility that he would be able to get some news from Ding Qi was actually very small.

As Ding Qi left, Wu Zheng in the pharmacy sighed slightly.

Looking at Ding Qi's figure that disappeared far away, Wu Zheng shook his head, and couldn't help but fall into the memories of the incident he experienced a year and a half ago.

This Wu Zhai lord personally experienced the fact that the hundred horse bandits were completely wiped out overnight.

On the night of the incident, he had passed by there by accident because of an unexpected incident, and he had experienced it himself. Although there was a mist in the air that night, he could only see it from a very distant distance, and he could not see who the man who had killed hundreds of horse bandits at that time was. But he did see the whole thing with his own eyes.

However, he has never forgotten the horrific scene that happened at that time.

It is rumored that the group of horse bandits was wiped out overnight. However, Wu Zheng knew very clearly in his heart that the group of horse bandits, from the very beginning to the time they were completely wiped out, did not even need a quarter of an hour.

Thinking of the mysterious figure shuttling quickly in the night fog, even though it was summer now and the sun was shining outside, Wu Zheng still couldn't help but shudder.

Wu Zheng saw at the right time that with the ghost-like figure, after pulling out a burst of afterimages among hundreds of horse bandits, those horse bandits who had been through a hundred battles, even if they were placed in the entire rivers and lakes, could not be regarded as weak hands, but they all fell to the ground and died silently.

Although he witnessed the whole thing, to this day, Wu Zheng never understood how the man did it.

Wu Zheng was very far away from the scene at the time, but now that he thinks about it, Wu Zheng feels that the person had actually discovered him at that time, but he didn't do anything to him for some reason.

Since witnessing that incident, Wu Zheng has left a lingering shadow in his heart. It is precisely because of this incident that he finally chose to withdraw from the position of the owner of the cottage and become the shopkeeper of a small pharmacy now.

However, that incident had too much impact on Wu Zheng's life, and sometimes he couldn't help but be curious, wanting to know more about that incident and the mysterious murderer.

Today, he originally wanted to get some clues about that incident from Ding Qi, a native of Qixia Town. However, it is clearly not fruitful.

Glancing at the figure of Ding Qi who had gone away again, for some reason, Wu Zheng suddenly remembered the back of the mysterious murderer he had faintly seen on the night of the incident. That back actually had some similarity with the appearance of Ding Qi he saw now.

But then, Wu Zheng shook his head and denied the absurd idea that popped into his head.

Wu Zheng also knew that Ding Qi had some skills, but that was only the level of an ordinary martial arts person, and the mysterious murderer he saw at the beginning was incredible, but it was completely beyond the scope of a normal person.

For the fact that he had just been in a trance, he felt quite ridiculous for a while that the mysterious murderer was connected with Ding Qi.

"Forget it, I'm just a pharmacy owner now, and that matter is no longer what I should care about. Thinking of this, Wu Zheng lowered his head again and began to sort out the account book in front of him.

In the end, Wu Zheng decided to keep the original incident in his heart forever, just as a memory, and has decided that he does not plan to care about this matter in the future.

After all, this matter has nothing to do with him anymore.

On the streets of Liangcheng, Ding Qi turned his head and looked at Wu Zheng's pharmacy, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and he touched his chin.

"It seems that this Wu Zhai master still can't forget the incident a year and a half ago!" Glancing at the direction where Wu Zheng was again, Ding Qi then turned his head and grinned helplessly.

The group of horse bandits back then plundered and killed all the way, and finally spread in the direction of Qixia Town. Although Qixia Town is far from being comparable to an ordinary small mountain village, if they were really allowed to enter Qixia Town at that time, with the ferocious nature of this group of horse bandits, I don't know what kind of catastrophe the entire Qixia Town will encounter in the end.

Ding Qi naturally can't ignore this kind of thing.

In desperation, he could only do it himself. So, Ding Qi finally chose a night with a faint mist to slaughter the hundreds of horse bandits who were close to Qixia Town overnight.

But that day, Ding Qi accidentally found Wu Zheng who happened to appear nearby.

Fortunately, it was late at night, and there was a faint mist in the air, and the owner of Wu Zhai was also quite far away from the place where the incident occurred, and it was impossible to find out who Ding Qi was.

Although the lord of Wu Zhai didn't know that the person who slaughtered hundreds of horse bandits at the beginning was Ding Qi. However, that incident obviously had a great impact on the master of Wu Zhai.

In the end, it caused him to leave the cottage and become the owner of a small pharmacy.

This kind of thing was not something that Ding Qi could have predicted at the beginning.

Ding Qi shook his head, dispelling the thoughts that had risen in his head. He lowered his head and looked at the decades-old herbs in his hand, which he had obtained from Wu Zheng, with a thoughtful look on his face: "This kind of refining pill, the herbs that need to be used for decades, I can still get them from a pharmacy like Lord Wu Zhai." It's just a hundred-year-old herb, but it's ....... It seems that we still have to go to that place and take a look again!"

Ding Qi didn't know what he remembered, and with the herbs he got from Wu Zheng in his hand, he quickly returned to the medicine garden in Qixia Town.

However, after returning to the medicine garden, he did not practice innate skills as usual, nor did he stay in the medicine garden for long.

After putting down the herbs in his hand, Ding Qi got up and rushed towards Qixia Mountain.

After entering the slightly deeper part of Qixia Mountain, Ding Qi was sure that he no longer had to worry about others, but he immediately activated the Wind Resisting Technique and rushed towards the depths of the forest. With the strange speed of his Wind Resisting Technique, Ding Qi had soon entered the depths of Qixia Mountain for more than 100 miles.

The place where Ding Qi is now is already in the depths of Qixia Mountain, and no one will come. This kind of place is densely forested, and there are many ancient trees, which shade the sky in the forest tightly, showing the unique quiet and deep meaning of this deep mountain and dense forest.

But even so, seeing that Ding Qi still set up the Wind Resisting Technique and kept hurrying, he still didn't have the slightest intention of stopping.

Eventually, it wasn't until half an hour later that Ding Qi's speed slowed down and stopped at a place in the dense forest where there were several boulders several feet high. By this time, he had gone deep into the dense forest, nearly two hundred miles. Here, it can already be regarded as the real center of the entire Qixia Mountain.
