In Qin Shaoyou's opinion, the best way to solve this problem is to find out who the dignitaries are behind the scenes supporting the Corpse King as soon as possible, and find a way to eradicate them all!
If the bright ones don't work, then come to the dark ones. Only in this way can there be no future troubles.
Only when the enemy is dead is the safest.
But Zuo Qianhu obviously had his own plans.
Qin Shaoyou could only find a way to see if he could get some clues from other places in order to prevent it from happening.
Of course, he used his ideas and methods to prevent future events...
On the way to greet his subordinates to withdraw, Qin Shaoyou remembered the case that happened on the third day of the third lunar month by the Dazi River, which almost wiped out the entire army of the Luocheng Town Yaosi, and the mysteriously missing inspector Liu Shuyuan.
He combined those two events with the situation here, and guessed whether the whole thing would be like this:
When Liu Shuyuan inspected Yizhou, he discovered that the rich and powerful were raising corpses, and he might even have found out about the ghost tree of hibiscus and the corpse king.
In addition to being shocked, he knew that the case was of great importance, so he hurriedly wanted to rush back to the capital and report to the imperial court.
As a result, the faction was known by the forces behind the Corpse King, and they arranged for the demon to ambush him by the Raft River.
On the side of the Yaosi of Luocheng Town, they received an urgent call from Liu Shuyuan, so the former Hundred Household Officials temporarily assembled the night watchman and rushed to Raozi River for reinforcements.
In the end, no one was rescued, but the team crashed into the encirclement of demons, causing the entire army to be wiped out...
As for why he was looking for a ghost to kill him, it's easy to explain.
Night is the peak period of ghost activities, and it is common for ghosts to attack passers-by. As long as the hands and feet are handled cleanly, even if the Monster Town Commissioner conducts an investigation, it will be difficult to find these people who act as protective umbrellas.
They have a way to clear the responsibility, and they say that Liu Shuyuan was unlucky and got into trouble with demons and ghosts.
Qin Shaoyou thought about it and thought that this speculation was not impossible.
It's just that there is a lack of strong evidence.
And if what happened was as Qin Shaoyou guessed, then what is the relationship between the umbrella and the ghost?
Just colluding with each other? Or are there other deeper connections?
For what benefit do those who act as protective umbrellas take the risk?
And the demon monk 'Flammulina velutipes' who can change his appearance at will. In this matter, what kind of identity and what effect did he play?
Qin Shaoyou rubbed his head, only to feel a headache.
Again, there are too few clues.
Zuo Qianhu didn't know what the hot news came from Xu Fangjun's mouth, but he didn't dare to tell everyone.
On the other hand, there has been no news from Liu Shuyuan, the inspector of the censor.
There was also a prince of Dongchuan Hou, who helped the mysterious noble to speak to Zuo Qianhu and asked him to "take care" of Qin Shaoyou and other survivors.
Qin Shaoyou sighed and shook his head gently.
He can only find a way to see if he can start from other places and get some useful clues.
When Qin Shaoyou returned to the 'painting the ground as a prison', Monk Ma also brought his brother Xiaoqi to find the corpses of the sacrificed night watchman, and they were stitched up by Shan Daonian.
Qin Shaoyou asked people to put clean clothes on the sacrificed brother. After he left here, he would find a good coffin for him. Then he put away the 'drawing the ground as a prison' and instructed everyone:
"Master Qianhu has an order to withdraw from the underground cave and start now."
"Yes."
The crowd responded in unison.
Only Zhu Xiucai didn't say a word.
He was still lying upright on the ground, looking like he had collapsed to the extreme.
Shan Daonian went to check on him, and determined that there was nothing serious, but after exhausting himself, he joked:
"Xiusai, Xiucai, you've been lying on the ground for so long, and you haven't recovered yet? It seems that your body is really weak. Oh, no, didn't I give you some medicine before, you didn't take it? What, still didn't follow my doctor's orders to abstain from sex?"
Zhu Xiucai, who was lying on the ground, changed his face immediately. He wanted to retort, "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense", but unfortunately, he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth to speak.
Seeing that Zhu Xiucai really didn't have the strength to get up, Qin Shaoyou called in Liao Shaocuo and asked them to carry Zhu Xiucai out.
Monk Ma took the initiative to ask Ying: "Why do you need so many people? Just leave it to me."
Having said that, he leaned down and hugged Zhu Xiucai.
It's still a princess hugging pose.
Zhu Xiucai didn't know whether he was frightened or shy, and his old face turned red.
Soon, Qin Shaoyou took the night watchman under his command to join Xue Qingshan and Luocheng Yaosi's colleagues, and then waited for Zhang Zhenren and Master Suquan to exit the underground cave together from the secret path.
After they left, Zuo Qianhu, who was standing under the hibiscus ghost tree, glanced in the direction of the secret path, and suddenly asked, "You guys have lived and died together with President Qin this time. How is this person?"
Ye Zhiqiu, who was standing beside him, after careful consideration, replied: "Zongqi Qin is exactly as you said, he has a delicate mind, excellent intuition, and at the same time, he is quite responsible and can lead the way. In addition, I also found that he is good at training and managing troops, and he is also very ingenious and creative in the development of weapons and equipment and the capabilities of his subordinates."
Speaking of which, Ye Zhiqiu thought of Cui Youkui.
Cui Laodao's talent of exploding when he touches the talisman, if someone else encounters it, the most likely way is to let him not touch the talisman.
But Qin Shaoyou took a different approach. He just took advantage of Cui Yougui's shortcoming, and exerted great power to create a 'Hundred Bombing True Monarch'.
There are also weapons such as light smoke bombs, as well as the fighting methods of the night watchmen under Qin Shaoyou, which opened Ye Zhiqiu's eyes.
Therefore, he was somewhat full of praise for Qin Shaoyou.
Zuo Qianhu nodded slightly, and instead of commenting, he turned his attention to Cen Biqing.
Cen Biqing tilted her head, thought for a while, and said, "I feel that he is a bit like you, Lord Qianhu."
"like me?"
Zuo Qianhu was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.
Ye Zhiqiu and Cen Biqing looked at each other, wondering why Zuo Qianhu asked them what they thought of Qin Shaoyou, but neither dared to ask more.
At the same time, Qin Shaoyou and the others passed through the secret passage and returned to the Dragon King Temple.
It was almost early morning, the sky was slightly brighter, and the dawn dispelled the night, so that the world was no longer pitch-dark.
The villagers in Shuanggui Village who were controlled by the three corpse worms have already been treated by the Yizhou Town Yaosi and Luocheng Town Yaosi Night Watchmen, and all the three corpse worms on their bodies have been completely eliminated.
While Qin Shaoyou was happy for these villagers, he also had some regrets.
According to the consistent style of the night watchmen of the Suppressing Demon Division, the evil worms like the three corpse worms must be incinerated and disposed of immediately after they are killed.
Most of the night watchmen of Yizhou Town Yaosi and Luocheng Town Yaosi dealt with them as usual, and would not leave the body of the three corpse worms behind.
And this, made Qin Shaoyou less material for making the three ghost pickled corpses.
Just as he was regretting, Xue Qingshan suddenly came up and said in a low voice, "Shaoyou, I'll let the body of the Three Corpse Insect Gu be kept. Can this thing be used for cooking, right?"
"Yes, it's very capable. Not only can it cook, but it also tastes delicious. It's crunchy, chicken-like, and full of nutrition." Qin Shaoyou was pleasantly surprised.
Xue Qingshan was aroused by his description, licked his lips, and asked humbly, "Then can you give me some to eat after this dish is made?"
His humility was not because of Qin Shaoyou, but because of the snake general order, the ancestor of Jiutian Dangmo.
This time, the snake commander did not flash red light, which means that the Nine Heavens Dangmo Patriarch tacitly agreed to give Xue Qingshan some ghost pickled three corpses.
Xue Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief. While he was happy to finally have new dishes to eat, he was also a little confused.
He murmured in his heart: "It's strange, doesn't the patriarch value me very much? Why is his old man so stingy on the spirit food this time?"
