The story of the reborn pharmacist

Although it was not the first time to see a dead person, Wei Ziqin still felt a little uncomfortable when he stepped forward to check.

The two youths were not very old, at most in their early twenties. The black clothes they wore were of the same texture, with messy stitches inside, as if they had been sewn casually.

The cause of death should be excessive blood loss without accident. Judging from the concentration of dead energy around the body, the time of death should be around the time of ugly last night, which is the period when Wei Ziqin just fell asleep.

"The man has already been found, they were the first ones to find someone dead in the woods this morning," Li was panting heavily and leading the two middle-aged men over, he couldn't help hesitating, "Just now Cheng Zi They have already gone to the city to report to the officials, or I think it is better to leave this matter alone."

It was not mentioned in the following words, although people died nearby, but strictly speaking, this forest is not within the scope of Shuhe Village. What can't solve the trouble.

Wei Ziqin shook his head: "When the government comes, it may be too late. Let those two people come over first, and talk about what happened in the morning."

Hanyang City is not too far from here but not too close. With the efficiency of the government in the city, they will not be able to come here until tomorrow or the next day at the earliest. Who knows if there will be other changes in the middle.

Li Zheng sighed and could only call the two middle-aged men over to talk.

As Wei Ziqin expected, the two middle-aged people didn't notice anything wrong.

The two people came out of the village before dawn. At first, they planned to go to the city to do work before noon. When they were halfway there, one of them suddenly worried that it was too late, so he suggested that they simply go from the nearby woods. go around.The plan was very good, but unfortunately I lost my way before going around, and I happened to see the two people who were hung upside down from the tree.

"Oh, by the way," the middle-aged man who spoke suddenly thought of something, "There is actually one strange thing to say, that is, when we were startled and about to leave, I seemed to see a puff of black smoke. It just flashed past behind the woods and disappeared."

Black smoke?

Wei Ziqin raised his head suspiciously, before he had time to ask, he saw someone walking towards a woman not far away.

The woman was very old, she looked about 70 to [-] years old, her hair was gray, and she was so trembling that she could hardly walk. If she hadn't been barely supported by someone, she would have fallen to the ground by now.

Seeing the young man hanging from the tree, the woman immediately uttered a shrill scream: "My son, why did you die here? Are you going to leave your mother behind!"

Li Zheng was full of perplexity, and was about to speak, when he saw that the old woman had already pushed away the person who was supporting him, and rushed over in a stumbling manner: "It's you, you must have killed my son, right?"

The middle-aged man who spoke just now quickly persuaded: "Auntie, please calm down first, we don't know what's going on, and people from the government should be here soon, or..."

"I don't care. My son died outside your village. It must be the people in your village who killed him. You were the ones who shielded the murderer and refused to hand him over. Oh, my poor son. I haven't been here since I was a child. What a bad thing you have done, why is your life so hard," the old woman spoke incoherently, before she finished speaking, she began to sit on the ground and cry again, "I'm just this one, how can I live without him."

Li was suffering from a headache from the woman crying, and was about to ask someone to persuade him, when Wei Ziqin, who had been standing behind, suddenly spoke.

"I haven't done anything bad since I was a child. In my opinion, it shouldn't be the case."

While speaking, Wei Ziqin had already walked up to the short young man, stretched out his hand and gently tugged at his back, the small cloth bag that was originally tied to the young man's back was torn off in an instant, and fell out of a pile of tinkling. of gold and silver jewelry.

The surrounding villagers were startled, and there was an uproar.

"Hey, don't those earrings belong to my daughter-in-law? Why did you come here?" One of the villagers had sharp eyes and immediately saw a pair of earrings in the corner.

After his reminder, other villagers soon realized something was wrong: "That's right, the bracelet over there and the sachet inside seem to belong to Zhou's daughter-in-law, so they came here anyway."

Earrings, sachets, bracelets and banknotes, and even a bag of Lingmi with a lot of rice on the side. The villagers who watched the excitement were not stupid, and immediately figured out what the two young people who were hung on the tree were here for. , and then looking at the old woman's eyes suddenly felt a little wrong.

"It's impossible for my son to steal other people's things because of your bloody mouth. Someone must have blamed him," the old woman choked for a while, and could only forcefully retort, "And even if he stole it, so what? It’s nothing more than something, and it’s not a crime that deserves death, so why do you hang him here.”

Rizheng shook his head, not knowing what to say.

The surrounding villagers couldn't help but frown. Why, this means that they must have killed the person, right? It's unreasonable. Your son's hands and feet are not clean. He probably stole something from others and was discovered. You don't know how to reflect on it. That's all, just thinking about the random identification of the murderer.

"The one who killed him should not be an ordinary person." Wei Ziqin said suddenly.

What do you mean, what is not an ordinary mortal?Everyone's eyes were immediately focused.

"This..." Lizheng became nervous when he heard the words. He had asked Wei Ziqin to come over because he was the only monk in Shuhe Village. He never thought that there was really anything wrong with this matter.

Wei Ziqin didn't explain, but asked the surrounding villagers to fetch a basin of clean water.Linzi was very close to Shuhe Village, and the water was quickly fetched.

The two youths who were hung from the tree were also let down. Wei Ziqin directed the villagers to help one of the youths up, and then soaked both hands in the water basin.

After all the preparations were done, Wei Ziqin ignited the spirit grass in his hand with his true energy, and threw it directly into the water basin.

At the moment when the spirit grass fell, as if hot water had been poured into the frying pan, there was a bang, and a dark fish figure suddenly emerged from the water basin and rushed towards the old woman .

The old woman was almost dumbfounded with fright, she couldn't care less about howling, she immediately screamed and fell to the ground, the shadow of the fish that jumped on her turned back into the appearance of clear water again, only drenching her A small piece of open space under his feet disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

"Monster, monster." I don't know who yelled first, and the villagers who were still watching the excitement suddenly didn't dare to stay where they were, and ran towards the direction of the village as if fleeing.

In the end, Li Zheng was the only one left who could barely remember his responsibilities, stood there tremblingly, and looked at Wei Ziqin with a pale face.

"Don't worry," Wei Ziqin said, "The one just now is not a monster, at most it's just the monster's aura left by that monster... But it's good to scare people away. In the past few days, it's better not to let the villagers casually Came here."

"Well, well, I will definitely watch them not come here," Rizheng wiped the cold sweat off his head, "It's about what to do next, you are preparing yourself..."

Wei Ziqin shook his head: "No, I need to find someone first."

The water monster cultivator is good at hiding traces, so it may be difficult to find the other party based on his ability alone, unless he can find a higher-level demon cultivator than the water clan demon cultivator... I only hope that the master is still in Hanyang in town.

"God, did you see just now, such a big monster jumped on people all at once, it's really scary."

"No, what the hell is that? Why does it look like a big fish? Do you think that monster can eat people?"

"It should be a cannibal, otherwise how did the two from the next village die in the woods? Thank God, thanks to the presence of an immortal in the village, otherwise we would all have suffered together."

"That's right... No, I have to send something to the Wei family. It's fine if I'm old, but let the immortal protect the two boys in our family more."

The person next to him was reminded, and quickly said: "Auntie still has an idea, that's good, don't rush to leave, I will go with you later."

Listening to the gossip of the villagers, Liang Hu bowed his head and walked quickly through the field. After returning home, he directly threw the fish he caught in the morning on the ground.

"What's wrong with you?" The young man who was half leaning on the bed couldn't help but worry when he saw that his expression was wrong.

Liang Hu leaned on the edge of the table and took a deep breath, and closed his eyes forcefully: "Is it you?"

The young man was taken aback, raised his head in doubt, and did not understand the meaning of his words: "What is it me?"

"Did you kill those two people in the forest?" Liang Hu tried to suppress his voice, afraid that he would hesitate for a moment, and he would not be able to say the rest. "I saw it last night. You left alone and came back." There was still blood on my body, no, don't ask, don't ask me why I didn't fall asleep last night..."

Liang Hu only felt that a stone was being blocked in his throat, and it was so painful that he could hardly speak.

He shook his head, and threw the burnt black talisman in front of the young man.This talisman was originally used by Wei Ziqin for his self-defense, Liang Hu really never dreamed that he would use it in such a place.

He couldn't help but wonder if it would be better if he didn't have this talisman. Without this talisman for self-defense, he should have been stunned by the other party's sorcery last night, and he wouldn't have woken up at all. Nothing will be seen.

The young man sat up from the bed, looked at the talisman, opened his mouth, and said in a low voice after a long time: "I'm sorry, whether you want to believe it or not, I really didn't mean it, and I don't know what happened to me recently. What's wrong."

Liang Hu directly interrupted him and said: "You go, I don't want to listen to your explanation, and I don't want to care what you are, my friend is very powerful, if you don't want to be caught by him, you should go quickly, and in the future Don't ever come back."

After Liang Hu finished speaking, he picked up the fish that he had thrown on the ground before, and forced himself to forget everything related to youth. He still had his mother to take care of him, and he couldn't waste his energy on a person who didn't even know the details. body.

Seeing Liang Hu leave, the young man sat there for a long time without moving.

After an unknown amount of time, the young man suddenly raised his head, all expressions of guilt faded away, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if a trace of black smoke flashed past his eyes.
