Chapter 174: 174 Evil

Views:

After seeing some mysterious tricks and getting caught in Zhou Jing's hard-to-find attack, the attitude of the Ye family members changed greatly, they were respectful and did not dare to do it again.

Ye Heng received some rectification, but he didn't hold any grudges. Instead, he was extremely curious about Zhou Jing's abilities, and only then did he know that there are such methods in the world besides martial arts.

However, he didn't dare to ask Zhou Jing at will, and he couldn't help but feel unbearable.

Ye Shunzhong was relieved when he saw that his family was finally on the road, and said aloud, as a public statement:

"The Taoist priest has practiced all year round, and rarely set foot in the world. This is the first time to come to Ningtian Mansion. When I deal with trivial matters, my Ye family will do everything for the Taoist priest."

"That's right, I'm a servant of the Ye family, and the Taoist priest can do whatever he wants."

When everyone heard the words, they no longer contradicted, and they all agreed, and the atmosphere was warm for a while.

At this time, Zhou Jing's heart moved, and he said, "I do have something that needs to be handled by you."

"The Taoist priest has any orders, but it doesn't matter."

Everyone's eyes lit up and they responded quickly.

Zhou Jing pondered for a few seconds and asked:

"Do you guys know why Pindao came to this Ningtian Mansion?"

Everyone shook their heads, quite curious, but they didn't dare to interrupt and listened quietly.

Ye Shunzhong heard Zhou Jing mention it, and asked tentatively, "I remember what the Taoist priest said yesterday that he came to Ningtianfu to search for heaven's secrets?"

Zhou Jing nodded and said sternly:

"Yes, what I need you to do is related to this matter."

"What does the Daoist want us to do?" Ye Shunzhong asked respectfully.

Hearing this, Zhou Jing ordered the table and said slowly:

"Heaven's secret has no form, it is elusive and difficult to find, and the rise and fall of things are all fates. The poor only know that the secret of heaven should be in Ningtian Mansion, but I don't know who, what, when, and can only move according to fate. I hope everyone will take me Tell the people of the whole city about the search for the secret, if anyone encounters any strange things, they will come to the door to tell me, and be an ear and eye for the poor, I wonder if you are willing to help me with this?"

"This… "

Ye Shunzhong hesitated slightly, this is equivalent to mobilizing the people of the city, and the movement is not small. Even if the Ye family is big, it is not easy to do it, and it will also cause criticism.

He thought about it and asked carefully:

"I don't know what's the use of the long search for this heavenly secret... I dare to ask, and I hope the Taoist priest is not surprised."

Zhou Jing smiled and said seriously: "The secret cannot be leaked. The only thing I can tell you is that this matter is very important. If you find it, you can keep the world in good order. If something goes wrong, hehe..."

These words are ambiguous, and everyone seems to understand, but they don't seem to understand, and they don't know it.

Ye Shunzhong hesitated for a while before he made up his mind, nodded and said:

"The Taoist leader is lenient. This matter is not difficult for my Ye family. I guarantee that the people of Ningtian Prefecture know what the leader wants, and then lure him with rewards. The people of Ningtianfu will be willing to be the Taoist leader's ears and eyes."

Zhou Jing nodded in satisfaction, and drew a big cake when he opened his mouth:

"This is very good. If the poor Dao finds the secret, you will also have a share of the merits of the Ye family. The benefits are inevitable. Not to mention the big ones, the next three generations will have a lot of money and prosperity. You Ye family should take good care of the fate method mentioned yesterday."

Hearing this, everyone's spirits were lifted.

Flickering the Ye family's efforts to "build momentum" for him, Zhou Jing accepted it as soon as he saw it, and didn't say any more.

After the banquet was over, everyone insisted on sending Zhou Jing back to the wing, and then they respectfully said goodbye and left.

Not long after Zhou Jing stayed in the room, the Ye family's steward came to the door and brought many precious things, all of which were gifts from relatives in the Ye family's rooms, with obvious flattery.

Zhou Jing did not refuse, he took all the orders and piled them in the room at will.

At this time, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and stopped the steward who was about to leave, saying, "I have a small thing that I need you to do."

The steward of the Ye family hurriedly bowed and said with sincerity, "Let's just say it, the Taoist priest."

Zhou Jing was not polite to him either, and ordered:

"You go to the pharmacy in the city, buy a few copies of all kinds of medicinal materials, and send them to me. By the way, you can buy some medical prescriptions in the mundane world. I want to observe it."

The steward of the Ye family did not dare to ask more questions, so he immediately responded and ordered his servants to do it.

Afterwards, the steward bid farewell to Zhou Jing, went back to find Ye Shunzhong, and reported the matter.

After Ye Shunzhong heard this, he was slightly taken aback and said to himself:

"What does the Taoist priest want a lot of medicinal materials for? Could it be that the Taoist priest is also proficient in medicine?"

He thought so, and suddenly his heart moved.

Perhaps, you can ask the Taoist priest to see a doctor for the old lady...

Ye Shunzhong had this idea, but after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to trouble the Taoist priest rashly. Right now, Zhang Jinduan was still treating the old lady, and he planned to wait for the result.

If this man who is famous in Xinglin can't do anything... Ye Shunzhong has made a decision.

Two days passed in a flash.

The deeds of Zhou Jing stepping on the river have spread throughout the city, and the servants of the Ye family also revealed the name of Lingfengzi, which became the talk of the people of Ningtian Mansion after dinner.

Countless people wondered who this Lingfengzi was, but after he moved into Ye's house, he lived in a secluded place.

At this juncture, the Ye family suddenly mobilized their servants to spread Zhou Jing's so-called search for heaven's secrets, and claimed that anyone who found something strange would come to the door and inform them that they would be rewarded with silver, which caused a lot of surprise in Ningtian Mansion.

People in the city talked a lot, and they didn't know what medicine was being sold in the gourd.

When the rumors were raging outside, Zhou Jing stayed at Ye's house and watched the changes, and by the way, took this time to practice witchcraft.

With the practice acceleration enabled, witchcraft can be practiced very quickly, and the "basic meditation" also has a practice efficiency bonus - this is a skill that Bill has cultivated through persistent practice of witchcraft during the laying period for several years. The higher the meditation level, the faster the practice. .

Zhou Jing meditates most of the time, and can get more than 10 development points in a day.

Equivalent to, it only takes ten days to get 1 witchcraft skill point, and in three months, you can get one level skill tree of Wind Spirit Witchcraft, and the progress is very fast.

With Bill's soaring magical aptitude, it is estimated that he will not encounter the bottleneck of the [Elemental Wizard] system for a long time, and now is the fastest stage to improve his strength.

As for the time other than cultivation, Zhou Jing basically used it to study the medicinal materials in this world.

The Ye family owns a drug store business, with a wide range of medicinal materials. The steward did not dare to neglect Zhou Jing's orders, and brought every medicinal material in the inventory.

Zhou Jing used the object analysis function to identify and understand the characteristics of many medicinal materials. He even knew more than the doctors in this world, and the progress was fast.

Knowing the detailed medicinal properties, as well as Lv8 [Pharmacy] and Lv9 [Herbal Knowledge], a large number of pharmaceutical ideas emerged.

- Know what the various medicinal materials are used for, then set a target effect, and finally know how to combine the medicinal materials with technical combinations to achieve this effect, so the prescription is naturally born.

Although he hasn't actually used the world's medicinal materials to make medicines, Zhou Jing has already produced many prototypes in his heart.

He has the basic idea of making medicines for healing and hemostasis, recuperating deficits, invigorating qi and strengthening the body, fighting poison and slow poisoning, one pillar of the sky and so on.

This morning.

Zhou Jing was in the yard, holding a medical book and reading it carefully.

Suddenly, Ye Shunzhong came to visit and walked in a hurry.

"I have seen the Taoist priest, and this time I came to visit and discuss something."

Zhou Jing put down the book, sat still on the chair, looked at Ye Shunzhong who walked into the yard, and asked:

"Jushi Ye, I don't know why you are looking for me?"

Ye Shunzhong saluted respectfully and said:

"I shouldn't have bothered the Taoist priest, but my Taigong is seriously ill. His condition has deteriorated recently, and Dr. Zhang is helpless. I heard that the house steward often sends medicinal materials to the Taoist priest recently. Could it be that the Taoist priest is proficient in medicine?"

"Slightly understand."

Zhou Jing responded casually, knowing what was going on in his heart.

It seems that the famous doctor Zhang Jinduan failed to cure the grandfather of the Ye family. And he recently asked for a lot of medicinal materials to make others misunderstand, so Ye Shunzhong can only come to his own ideas and try his luck.

Hearing this, Ye Shunzhong was overjoyed and was about to speak.

But Zhou Jing interrupted him and added:

"However, I have lived in the mountains for a long time, and I have never seen people. I have no chance for diagnosis and treatment. I am afraid that I am a little unfamiliar. Moreover, I only dabble in the medical way, but what the poor way is really proficient in is the way of alchemy."

"Alchemy?"

Ye Shunzhong was taken aback for a moment, this answer surprised him.

There is a Taoist saying that alchemy can be immortal, and the sky is soaring.

On the contrary, many fake Taoists use the name of alchemy to swindle and deceive, so the word "alchemy" is often linked to deception, and the reputation is not very good. Even the true Taoist priests, not many people say that they can make alchemy skills.

However, Ye Shunzhong was very convinced of Zhou Jing. Although he was muttering in his heart, he did not doubt whether it was true or not. He simply bowed down and pleaded:

"Master, my Taigong is in danger, please help."

He really had no choice, and planned to die as a living horse doctor.

Seeing this, Zhou Jing got up and sighed:

"Since you have come to ask for each other, I will go and have a look. I don't know if it can be done."

Ye Shunzhong was overjoyed, got up quickly, took Zhou Jing all the way to the backyard mansion, and arrived at Ye Taigong's room.

As soon as Zhou Jing entered the door, he smelled the strong smell of medicine.

Zhang Jinduan was also in the room. Seeing Ye Shunzhong coming, he looked ashamed and said helplessly:

"The old man is powerless to return to the sky, and he really has a lot of trust."

Ye Shunzhong couldn't blame others, he sighed, and then he used his hand to quote Zhou Jing, and explained, "Doctor Zhang has done his best, so there is no need to do this. Daoist Lingfengzi also knows some medical skills. I invite him to come and have a look. found."

Hearing this, Zhang Jinduan hurriedly saluted Zhou Jing, and then said curiously:

"It turns out that the Taoist priest is also skilled in medicine. Unfortunately, the old man has been busy with medical treatment for the past few days.

"I'm good at alchemy."

"Alchemy, alchemy..."

Zhang Jinduan was stunned.

As a famous doctor, how could he not know that alchemy is a hoax that hurts people, but from the mouth of Zhou Jing, who really has magical powers, he doesn't know how to respond.

Contempt is definitely not dare.

But let him believe... It's no different from talking nonsense with one's eyes open, and it humiliates one's medical skills.

Zhou Jing waved his hand, moved away from the subject, and asked first, "Doctor Zhang, what happened to your diagnosis and treatment?"

Zhang Jinduan came back to his senses, and without doubting him, he hurriedly explained it again.

'Without diagnosis and treatment of the lesion, it seems like the end of life? '

Zhou Jing looked at Mrs. Ye's thin and black face, and it was really hard to believe the diagnosis.

He took a few steps forward, intending to take the pulse for himself.

woo...

However, getting closer, a cold breath suddenly hit.

Zhou Jing frowned, quietly exerting his perception, and found that old lady Ye exuded an invisible aura that made him feel uncomfortable, cold and wet, like rotting mud.

He looked back and saw that no one else in the room was aware of it.

"… interesting."

Zhou Jing suddenly became interested.

He thought that the grandfather of the Ye family had just suffered from incurable diseases, but now he found out that things didn't seem to be that simple.

Zhou Jing looked at Taigong Ye carefully, but couldn't see anything famous, but the cold aura he felt couldn't be faked.

"It's not the feedback from the five senses... it's the spiritual sense?"

Zhou Jing's heart moved, and with a try attitude, he switched to the elemental vision.

The next moment, the world in the eyes, colorful element particles appear.

And as far as he could see, a cloud of black air was entangled in the body of the grandfather of the Ye family, like a mass of sludge, still wriggling unconsciously.

'what is this? '

Zhou Jing was shocked.

It was also the first time he had encountered such a situation.

This mass of black gas is obviously not like elemental particles. For the first time, he saw other unknown things with elemental vision.

'Probably this is the focus of Ye Taigong. '

Zhou Jing frowned slightly, not sure what the black air was about. After thinking about it, he used his mental power to recite the elements of the wind and touch it carefully.

The next moment, he suddenly felt a burst of mental feedback.

In the spiritual contact, there was a wave of resentment, hatred and other negative emotions from this black air, but it seemed to be something unconscious.

At the same time, this group of black energy was stabbed by his mental power, as if being pulled, and a ray of it came towards him.

'Want to touch me? '

A flash of green light flashed in Zhou Jing's eyes, and the wind element that contained spiritual power rushed towards him, shattering and erasing the black qi that had struck him without much effort.

And the large group of black gas did not respond, and it seemed that it would only automatically infect those who were in contact with spiritual power.

'I'm afraid this is an unknown hidden side of this world... Maybe this black gas, like the spirit of nature, is a unique thing of some non-material existence? '

Zhou Jing was enlightened.

At this time, Ye Shunzhong saw Zhou Jing standing motionless in front of the bed, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Daoist, what did you find?"

Zhou Jing heard the words and looked back at him with a subtle tone:

"You're lucky, Pindao can really cure him."

Ye Shunzhong was stunned for a moment, then he was greatly surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Daoist, what disease does my Taigong have?"

Zhou Jing shook his head and thoughtfully said:

"This may not be a disease... In my opinion, he is probably infected with evil."

"Evil?"

Ye Shunzhong and Zhang Jinduan were stunned on the spot at the same time.

At the same time, outside another tall mansion in Ningtian Mansion.

The old man and the young man looked at the high courtyard walls of the mansion and the gate guarded by the guards across the street, with complicated expressions.

The young man blinked and turned to look at the old man:

"Master, are you sure that the place where Qi Tracker was found is here?"

Lao Dao sighed: "There's nothing wrong, that Yao Dao is in this house at the moment."

The teenager swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stammered: "Then Master, are we going to visit, or sneak in, or just punch in?"

Lao Dao glanced at him like a fool, and said angrily: "You've lived enough, I haven't lived enough, most of the people who visit the door will throw themselves into the trap. If you sneak in, it's too easy for the demon to find out, and it's even worse if you hit the door. When your master, I'm the urging Yama of the Luhe area? I'm not that capable!"

"Then, what should I do?"

"Cold! Go back to the inn to sleep!"

The old man turned his head and left.

The young man quickly followed, and after a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, do we care about this demon?"

The old man sighed and explained helplessly: "The demonic path is mostly to bewitch the nobles and get shelter. I am alone and alone, and you have the oil bottle. I can't help him for the time being. "

"...Master, I'm not a dragger. I think your evaluation of me is biased."

"Have you entered the Qingling Immortal Escape? Have you understood the golden light to ward off evil spirits? Have you been able to use the Qi-seeking technique? Can the psychic eyes be opened? Tell yourself, I have taught you for a few years. , as long as you have a little use, it is not useless at all."

"Oh… "

Lao Dao scolded the young man while joining the crowd with him.
