Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 211 Is this a coincidence?

Yang Xun was worried about his mother's condition, but it was daytime now and he was still fine. He had just eaten some porridge and went to sleep. He just felt weak and dizzy.

"Brother's friend?" Yang Xun didn't dare to ignore the words. Anyone who dared to call himself that was definitely not an ordinary friend, so he didn't dare to neglect him.

So he asked the servants to lead the guests to the main hall. After Yang Xun settled his mother down, he washed his face and rushed over.

When he entered the hall, he saw two men and one woman. They seemed to be young, at most in their early thirties, and the woman looked pretty, but in her early twenties, about the same age as him.

Yang Xun could tell at a glance that these three people were definitely not officials. Instead, they had a strange aura that he couldn't explain, and they seemed to be somewhat similar to his eldest brother, but not completely.

Claiming to be Big Brother’s friend?
Could it be someone from the Immortal Sect? Yang Xun's heart suddenly shuddered, and he quickly became more cautious.

"Yang Xun greets the three distinguished guests. May I know their names?" Yang Xun sat down at the host's seat and bowed to them with a smile.

The one who answered was a one-eyed man sitting at the top.

The man looked a little pale, with an eye patch on his face, and he smelled faintly of medicinal herbs.

"Haha, Brother Yang Xun, you don't have to be polite. My name is Jiang Yun, and I am an old friend of your elder brother Yang Qian. Before, you and the old lady were in Yicheng, Changzhou Prefecture, so you didn't know me.

I came here to look for your brother, but I didn't expect him to go to Jizhou so soon. I thought it would be inappropriate if I didn't come to say hello to the old lady since I'm here. I prepared some mountain products, please accept them as a token of respect."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and a plain wooden box appeared on the coffee table to Yang Xun's left.

It really looks like mountain products?

While Yang Xun was amazed at the means of dealing with the problem, he subconsciously opened the box. Inside was an old mountain ginseng that was half a foot long and one inch thick. Even someone like Yang Xun who didn't know much about medicine knew that this thing was an extremely rare nourishing holy product that could be used to make soup or as medicine.

I heard that the more hairs on an old mountain ginseng, the better the quality and the older it is. Looking at the one in the box, Yang Xun was a little unsure.

"Haha, Brother Yang Xun, I came across this mountain ginseng on the way out this time. I estimate it to be about 80 or 90 years old, and it is most suitable for making soup for the old lady.

By the way, where is the old lady? Can I meet her?"

Yang Xun wanted to refuse, but when he thought about how his mother really needed this kind of hard-to-buy medicinal herbs to replenish her energy and body, he swallowed the words back.

After closing the box, Yang Xun looked embarrassed.

"Oh? Brother Yang Xun, is there something wrong?" Jiang Yun's originally smiling face suddenly faded. It can be seen that Yang Xun looks a little strange.

"Brother Jiang, my mother has been ill these past few days and I'm afraid she can't come out."

"What's wrong? Brother Yang Xun seems to be in a bad condition?" Jiang Yun asked hurriedly. If it was a minor illness, Yang Xun would not have such a sad face.

Yang Xun couldn't keep it a secret after accepting the old mountain ginseng from someone else, so he told the other person about his mother's situation. He couldn't hide his anxiety.

Jiang Yun stood up after hearing this and said, "Brother Yang Xun, don't worry. We have inherited some Qi Huang techniques and claim to be better than most doctors in the secular world. Why don't we go see the old lady and maybe we can find the root of the disease."

Yang Xun was naturally overjoyed when he heard this and nodded repeatedly.

So they went to the backyard to see Xu Ying who had just fallen asleep.

It was not Jiang Yun who made the move, but the female disciple in the group. She felt the pulse and probed for the key points, and finally even pressed against Xu Ying's forehead to probe his body with spiritual energy. But after a while, she still shook her head, looking puzzled.

"Big Brother, this old lady has no disease in her body. Her five internal organs are healthy and her meridians are mostly smooth. She is in very good health at her age. Her pulse is normal, so there is no cause of illness.

It shouldn't be a disease." Compared with the doctors who had seen Xu Ying before, this female disciple was much more decisive. After a diagnosis, she directly gave the conclusion that "it's not a disease."

After all, illness comes from the inside out. It cannot appear out of thin air. It cannot be without any effects after it appears. It is inevitable to find the lesion and abnormality. If there is no lesion and abnormality, then it is not an illness.

Hearing this, Jiang Yun frowned.

Yang Xun's face changed drastically. He had guessed it just now, and now that someone had said it with certainty, he had an answer in his mind.

Jiang Yun glanced at the change in Yang Xun's expression, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Since the old lady is not sick, then she is poisoned, or has some other non-self-caused cause."

After that, he turned to the female disciple and asked, "Did you find any signs of poisoning?"

"It's not poisoning. I suspect it's something to do with the soul. The old lady's soul is very unstable, and it seems like someone has been prying it open."

Soul?!
Yang Xun's face turned pale. He didn't know how to practice, but he knew that the soul was related to life, and he was very anxious when he heard it.

"Brother Jiang, save my mother!"

"Brother Yang Xun, rest assured. We will not ignore this matter if we encounter it." After a pause, Jiang Yun looked around and continued, "Soul methods are not the right way, especially for ordinary people like the old lady. It is even more despicable to use such methods. Ordinary cultivators will not do this. Those who dare to do this are mostly evil or demons.

However, there is no evil smell in the old lady's house, so it should not be evil. I guess it should be the result of evil means. She came in person, or used related magic tools.

But the specific situation needs to be investigated first.”

After saying that, Jiang Yun signaled to his junior brothers and sisters, and the two began to carefully check the Yang family's house. They searched inside and out, even the toilet was not spared.

The Yang family's house was not big. Half an hour later, the two men came back and shook their heads at Jiang Yun, indicating that they did not find any arrangements or signs of intrusion.

“It doesn’t look easy to do.”

Yang Xun asked anxiously: "Do you want me to call my brother back?"

"Brother Yang Qian's path is the way of the sword, and his way of dealing with this evil is definitely not as good as ours. Don't worry, the old lady's current condition only looks troublesome, but it is far from life-threatening.

We will stay tonight and see what the other side has in store."

Jiang Yun was not intimidated. The evil cultivator who could attack an ordinary old woman could not be a great figure. He even thought it was most likely just some evil magic weapon. He was confident that he could stop it.

"Then I'll leave it to you three!" Yang Xun had to suppress his worries and wait for dark in the backyard with the three people he just met today.

The first half of the night was actually fine. Xu Ying even felt energetic after a day's sleep. She was a little scared when she saw the unfamiliar faces in her bedroom. Finally, Yang Xun chatted with her and comforted her.

But something went wrong in the second half of the night.

Xu Ying gradually began to feel the chill coming, and her body, which had just recovered a little, suddenly began to feel weak and drowsy again.

At this time, Jiang Yun snorted coldly, stood up and formed seals with his hands, then several talismans were thrown out by him, which quickly turned into star-like fluorescent spots and covered Xu Ying.

"It is indeed an evil method! But don't worry, brother Yang Xun, this method should be an attack by a magic weapon, it is not strong. I can use the soul-soothing talisman to help the old lady block the erosion."

"Phew! Thank you, Brother Jiang, for your help!"

"Haha, Brother Yang Xun, you don't need to thank me. It's just a convenience." After replying to Yang Qian, Jiang Yun said to his fellow apprentices, "This magic weapon is not strong. It should not be cast by an evil cultivator. You two can go around nearby and maybe find the caster."
