The apprentice always wants to kill me

Du Zhong used his spiritual sense to quickly preview the records in the wooden sign, then threw the wooden sign to Gu Qingli, and lay down to read the book by himself.

It's worthy of a Class C mission, but it's just that Chenjiacun has lost some young and middle-aged people intermittently in the past two years. No one is alive or dead, and the government can't find them. So I suspect that evil spirits are at work, so I asked Tianxuan.

Although it is very likely that it is caused by evil spirits, but if he did not slaughter the village and did not destroy the family, he would pick a single one when he was arrested. At first glance, he looked like a product with no strength, and it was indeed suitable for a rookie like myself to practice.

Besides, it's hard to say whether the lost person got lost in the deep mountains and was eaten by wild beasts.

At dawn the next day, Eucommia, who was meditating, was awakened by the noise outside.Looking back, the child on the other side of the bed was also woken up, and had already sat up and started dressing.

There was a lot of noise outside the door, it seemed that many people gathered together and were walking this way.Du Zhong turned his head and listened carefully.

"It's dead again, God bless you not to affect us..."

"Don't be afraid, there is a fairy here, go find the fairy."

"Yes, go find a fairy!"

"It's too arrogant, even the immortals have lived in the mansion, but they dare to come here to make trouble!"

It turned out that something went wrong.He straightened his clothes immediately, and took out a mirror from his Qiankun bag to take a look. After confirming that he was still handsome today, he opened the door and went up to him: "What happened?"

The servant who was about to look for him outside the door saw that he had come out, so he immediately stepped forward and said, "Immortal, at dawn today, the cook found a dead body in the backyard. .”

Du Zhong responded, and hurriedly took Gu Qingli and the others to the backyard.

It is said that the appearance of death is horrific, but in fact the body is well preserved, it is very hideous.The whole body was wrinkled, the blood in the whole body had basically been sucked dry, and the hair on the body had also fallen off, and the whole body looked like a shrunken little old man.

Although Eucommia felt the shock, he still went up and touched the corpse. He could only tell from the bones that this was another young and middle-aged male.It seems that it is indeed a demon.He threw three more soul-calling talismans, but there was no reaction at all. It seemed that even the soul had been swallowed.

Master Chen, who had already heard the news and came over, saw that he was looking at the corpse one after another, and immediately asked expectantly: "How about the immortal? Did you find anything?"

There was no breath left on the corpse, and it was not known what it was made of.Du Zhong shook his head: "Can you find out who this is?"

"The butler has already gone down to count the people in the mansion. If someone goes missing, we will know soon."

"Master Chen, when you came to Tianxuan to petition, you only said that someone was missing, so is this the first time a corpse has appeared?" Du Zhong suddenly remembered the mission description and asked hurriedly.

"Yeah, I've never seen a corpse before." Master Chen looked at the corpse again as he spoke, and took out his handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face, "The immortals must hurry up to cast down demons."

Du Zhong saw that his face was as white as paper from the fright, and he was sweating profusely, and hurriedly said: "If Mr. Chen is unwell, please take a rest, I will make arrangements with the housekeeper here later."

Mr. Chen responded, not daring to look at the corpse anymore, and left after saying a few words to Du Zhong.

Du Zhong looked over and over several times, but still found nothing, so he ordered his servants to bury the corpse.

At this time, the housekeeper had also come to find him and told him that no one was missing in the Chen residence, and the corpse probably did not belong to the Chen residence.And the government has been notified, and they will know when there is news.

Maybe they killed someone and replaced it, although I don't understand why the corpse was left behind.Is it some kind of provocation?Du Zhong rubbed his chin, let go of his spiritual sense and quickly inspected the Chen residence, but found nothing suspicious.

Although he felt that peeping at others was bad, and he shouldn't let the peeped know after peeping, but he hesitated and asked: "Who lives in the second room from the north in the east wing? What kind of disease does this person have?"

"Sure enough, he is a fairy, he knows everything!" The housekeeper didn't expect Du Zhong to ask this suddenly, his eyes widened, and his face was full of admiration.He made some words before saying, "It's the young master of our family. The young master disappeared half a year ago, and then he came back by himself after a few days, but he has never been able to recover from his illness. Now he is sleeping all day long and has not seen anyone. That's why the immortal didn't see him." arrive."

Master?Du Zhong was a little surprised. This man looked older than his father. If the housekeeper hadn't told him, he wouldn't have guessed it.

Du Zhong's consciousness scanned the room twice more, looking more carefully.The man really looked old only because his essence and blood were almost exhausted, his skin wrinkled and his hair lost. In fact, his bones were not very old.

"The master is sad because of the young master's matter, and he is rarely willing to mention it. But the master vowed to take revenge, so he went to Tianxuan to petition." The steward added without waiting for him to ask.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Du Zhong nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

For the next few days, Chenjia Village remained very peaceful. The corpse that suddenly appeared before seemed to be an illusion, and the culprit still had no clue.But don't worry, the time limit for an ordinary task is half a year.

The upper and lower parts of Chen's house have been filled with talismans by Eucommia, and some were distributed to the people inside by the way.He repeatedly promised that there would be nothing wrong with the spell, and only then was he able to take the child into the street.

The fact that a fairy has come has spread all over the world. When outsiders saw that Eucommia was a stranger, well-dressed, and with a fairy air in his gestures, they immediately concluded that he was that fairy. Seeing him just now As soon as I left the mansion, I immediately rushed to tell everyone, and in less than a cup of tea, I had a lot of little tails.

But everyone was afraid of offending the immortal, and most of them followed secretly to observe.Du Zhong walked a few more steps, and saw a woman suddenly rushing out in front of him, knelt down in front of him with a snap, bent her body low, and cried, "Please let the immortal be the master of the little girl!"

"Miss, please get up quickly." Du Zhong didn't even get up after helping her several times, she just knelt and said that his husband suddenly left home one day and didn't come back again.

The people nearby saw that the woman was blocking the way of Du Zhong, but they were neither scolded nor kicked and flew away. They knelt down several times and said the same thing.

Du Zhong came out this time because he felt that the people in Chen's residence didn't seem to know much about this matter, and wanted to go to the street to find out more, so he asked immediately.

As stated in the mission description, young and middle-aged men have been missing intermittently since more than two years ago.At first no one cared, just thought that after entering the village, the barren mountain got lost, and everyone went up the mountain to find no one.But then the situation intensified, and now there are almost no young and middle-aged men in the village.

The people in the village were poor and had no money, so the squires had to ask for help everywhere.Last year there were a few immortals, but for some reason, they all disappeared in the end, even the shadows of the immortals disappeared.They only hope that Eucommia can help them this time.

From the villagers, I couldn't tell which sect those monks belonged to. I only knew that they were some small sects with little popularity. I don't know where they went and why they left.

After learning about the situation, Eucommia promised several times that he would do his best, but the villagers still refused. Many people took advantage of him to ask questions and brought eggs and bacon from home and stuffed them into his hands: "At home There is really nothing good, so please don’t be disgusted by the immortals.”

Du Zhong was a little embarrassed, he didn't lack these things, and he didn't know how to cook at all, so it was useless to take them.But looking at the people around him with tears and snot running down their noses, their faces full of anticipation, it seems that as long as he accepts it, he will definitely help them find their relatives.

That's right, it was their relatives who were with them day and night that got lost, but it wasn't him, Du Zhong.They must have pinned all their hopes on those few monks the previous time, but they were even more disappointed.

Thinking of this, he couldn't bear to refuse. The things he sent were trivial, but they were all the villagers' hopes.

After all, they are also a group of mortals who only hope for peace of mind.If I hadn't been lucky enough to become a qualified person, I'm afraid I would be the same as them.

After that, the two returned home with a full load.

On Du Zhong's arm was a piece of fox fur that someone threw over. Gu Qingli had a string of garlic hanging from someone around his neck. .

It was not mentioned in the mission description that there was a monk's visit, and I don't know if Master Chen forgot to mention it when he petitioned, or Qi Lingfeng's disciples missed it.

"Master, when ordinary people come to Tianxuan to petition, they are all grade C at first." Gu Qingli next to him seemed to know what he was thinking, and said sullenly, "Unless no one is willing to accept the task after hanging up for a week, or it alarmed other small Only immortal gates will be re-rated. Therefore, it is not good for mortal petitions to describe too complicated."

That doesn't sound very efficient.Du Zhong thought to himself, if there are no small sects nearby, it is not known how many people will die in a week.He hadn't carefully understood how Qi Lingfeng classified tasks before.

Du Zhong was thinking about something in his heart, and he was not in the mood to tease the children.The two walked quietly for a while, but Gu Qingli said again: "Master is so kind."

Du Zhong paused for a moment, remembering the childhood experience of the male protagonist that was briefly mentioned in "The Road to the Supreme Immortal".

Abandoned when she was young, no one adopted her. She was only raised by a group of beggars, but she saw with her own eyes that the beggars were gnawed into scum by ghosts.Asking for help everywhere, no one can help, and he is lonely and helpless at a young age.

This time it was also the evil thing that had no eyesight and kidnapped the squire's son, otherwise the Tianxuan sect who kept a low profile in another ten or eight years would not be aware of such a trivial matter.

After all, the life of a mortal is like an ant in the eyes of a cultivator.Especially for a big sect like Tianxuan, if they didn't need money from ordinary people to make a living, how would they care about a few little demons?

After all, a few mortals can eat whatever they want, as long as it doesn't affect the status of the sect.dead?Who is dead?Does money have status?If not, let them yell, and stop yelling if they are all dead.

Those worthless mortals struggled to survive on the ground, and they couldn't provoke the cultivators to raise their eyelids.

Du Zhong said "hey" and wanted to hug the child, but both hands were occupied, so he bent down and rubbed the top of the child's head with his chin, thinking that this is a good time to educate the child, so he smiled and said: "Who Is your life not your life? Yours and mine are, as are theirs, and they are all precious."

Gu Qingli was shocked, and looked up at him with contempt.I saw that the man was still keeping his chin on his head, his eyes were bright, and he was smiling, with a hint of meaning that he had never seen before.Kindness perhaps?

Du Zhong turned his eyes and looked at the bunch of garlic hanging around the child's neck.

I don't know if it was just opened by someone. The smell is a bit offensive for a monk with sensitive five senses. He quickly stood up straight and sneezed: "Go back and wash it, the garlic smell is too strong."
