At what age are you still being a traditional monster?

After finding that these two roads were not feasible, he left.

But, where is the demon way now?

Lin Xu said: "Then Zeng Qi knew you before he died?"

The old woman shook her head and said: "That man was not doing a proper job at the time. As a woman, I avoided him, but later I heard that he changed from evil to good. I didn't expect him to be the cause of trouble. We were blind and invited him in." The Town God's Temple is the protector of one side!"

"Have you ever heard that Zeng Qi had any relationship with that Taoist?"

"No, when that Taoist left Ping'an County, Zeng Qi seemed to be just over ten years old."

Lin Xu sorted out the clues in his head, finally managed to sort out the context, and said to the old woman: "Don't worry, the old man, if you can't do it, you will definitely investigate this matter, but it's getting late now, let me take you home first Bar."

The old woman is thankful.

When Lin Xu returned to Chen Zao's motorcade, it was already dark, but Chen Zao still chose to continue on the road, after all there was an epidemic in Ping'an County, so he didn't dare to stay for a long time.

Chen Zao recalled what happened today, and said: "Master Dao, I have been traveling all over the world for so many years, this year is the year I have encountered the most strange things, such as monsters blocking the way, ghost post stations, and even encounters such as changing the book of life and death." It's really strange!"

Lin Xu smiled and said, "Sir, are you calling me a disaster star?"

Chen Zao hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Master Daoist, don't be joking, I didn't mean that."

Lin Xu said again: "Then what if I have that intention?"

Chen Zao wondered: "What do you mean?"

"I mean, haven't you ever thought that I set up those monsters and ghosts in advance, and then ran out to save you, and finally get some benefits from you." Lin Xu said with a smile.

Chen Zao only said: "The Taoist priest really took great pains." He paused and said: "My things are only this batch of wood, the Taoist priest still wants wood?"

If all your wood becomes lightning strike wood, then I still want it very much.

Lin Xu was thinking, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and realized something.

Why did Zeng Qi change the book of life and death?

Lin Xu jumped into the air and hurried away with the clouds, only to say:

"You go first, don't wait for me!"

Chen Zao and his party were left stunned, looking at the sky in a daze, and it took a long time to say a word.

"God, god!"

Lin Xu went all the way back to the barren hill outside Ping'an County where the old woman's son's body was buried, and found the grave with only wooden boards standing on it.

Without saying anything about the crime, Lin Xu dug up the grave, pulled out the corpse of the old woman's son, and activated the Qi Watching Technique.

"Plague Qi, Death Qi, Yin Qi..."

Every breath marked his death from the plague.

Is it such a coincidence that the city god said that every person who contracted the epidemic had his life and death book changed, there must be a clue between the two.

The qi-watching technique was ineffective, so Lin Xu summoned Yin Hu from his dantian, and let Yin Hu crawl into the corpse. When Yin Hu came out, Lin Xu finally had a new discovery.

Just now, he used his true energy to cross the body of the corpse, and he found a clue in his body.

Lin Xu didn't stay any longer to rebury the body, and flew to the mass grave in Ping'an County.

He took a picture of the ruler and shouted: "Lonely ghost, see you quickly!"

With an edict, the mass grave was full of gloom, layers of hazy white rose like mist, and in that thin white mist were all the wandering ghosts gathered in the mass grave.

"Meet the Taoist priest!"

Lin Xu didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Which of you died of the epidemic, point out your dead bodies, and let me find out, so that I can return you the truth."

Among the ghosts, the one poked the ghost and ran out, pointing to where his body was.

Lin Xu nodded, looked at each of them, walked to the grave, called Yinhu, and submerged into the body of the corpse in the grave.

The people whose life and death books were changed were indeed infected with the disease and died, and there was no problem with their death method.

The problem was the blight they caught!

The City God of Ping'an County has not been able to understand the reason so far, so don't blame him, because this is not done by mana, but a simpler and more brutal method.

"Poison!"

Chapter 28 The Origin of Poison

All people infected with the disease have toxins left in their bodies, and this toxin is the source of the disease.

Lin Xu came to this conclusion after repeatedly confirming by gas filling.

"Which of you died the latest?" Lin Xu asked the ghosts.

An extremely young kid raised his hand tremblingly, "Master Dao, I was the last one to die here, and my body hasn't decomposed yet."

Lin Xu said: "Now, I need to dig up your body to find out some things, are you willing?"

The little ghost hesitated for a moment, finally nodded firmly, and said, "Just follow the order of the Taoist priest."

Lin Xu dug up the kid's grave, dragged his body out, and quietly revealed his hand on his stomach, and with a stroke of his claw, the kid's stomach was instantly exposed to the air, emitting a rotten smell .

The kid hastily turned his face away, not daring to look any further.

Lin Xu found a cauldron that could barely be regarded as a furnace, and set it up with stone slabs with some pits, and then lit a fire below, and put the intestines in it.

Even if it was a group of ghosts, they couldn't help being frightened when they saw such a scene. Although the Taoist priest in front of him looked like a fairy, he could do things so strangely, like a demon.

But Lin Xu didn't have time to care about how the ghosts looked at him, he did this to use alchemy to extract the toxin from the little ghost's body.

As the temperature rose, the intestines on the slate made a "sizzling" sound, and at the same time there was a smell that ordinary people could not bear.

Seeing that the fire was coming, Lin Xu used the mantra and used a method of congealing pills. He clasped his fingers together and released a gust of cold air from his cuffs, stopping the cloud of black air floating in mid-air.

He put his hands back between his knees and twirled a formula to gradually compress the black energy.

The black air was being suppressed smaller and smaller. Finally, Lin Xu clapped his hands, held the black air tightly in his hands and began to rub it. After half an hour, a black pill the size of a little finger was crushed. Lin Xu held it in his hands.

The elixir smelled so bad that Lin Xu covered his mouth and nose tightly, and hurriedly took out a box from his body and put it in.

Lin Xu put the box away, thinking about analyzing the poison slowly later, so he re-buried the little ghost's body.

He got up and was about to leave, but saw all the lonely ghosts in the mass graves looking at him expectantly.

Needless to say, Lin Xu also knew that what they were looking for was transcendence, but with so many dead souls, Lin Xu didn't learn the orthodox Daoism, and he was not very familiar with transcendence. He only rescued the old woman's son before. Make a show and give the old man a comfort in his heart.

In desperation, Lin Xu raised his ruler and said, "Everyone who is not afraid to wait, come in."

All the ghosts were overjoyed and scrambled under the ruler one after another. Now there was not even a single ghost in the mass grave.

Looking at the ruler in his hand, which weighed dozens of catties, Lin Xu shook his head helplessly, got up and rode the clouds to look for Chen Zao's caravan.

I don't know if I am waiting for myself.

On the way, Lin Xu had sorted out the incident in Ping'an County.

Undoubtedly, like the post station, the incident in Ping'an County was also written by the demon in the black Taoist robe.

The whole thing is strange because of the epidemic. People who contract the epidemic are poisoned by others. This is a mortal method, but the poison is not ordinary poison.

The Wenpan Zeng Qi of the Town God's Temple is very likely to have a lot to do with that demon, otherwise, apart from a ghost, who can accurately poison all the people whose life and death books have been changed?

But, what is the demon way asking for?

The ghosts at the post station said before that the monster Taoist catches passers-by to make longevity pills. It seems that what he wants is longevity, which is no different from most monsters on the westbound road.

But people had Tang Seng at that time, and now the monsters at this time want to ask for longevity, I am afraid that they must do some dirty tricks, even to the point of bizarreness.

For example, stealing people's lifespan, and Zeng Qi is likely to set up a secret for this purpose.

But the truth still needs to be verified by Lin Xu, but I don't know where the demon is now...

Lin Xu flew in the clouds for an hour, and he had reached the limit of his mana, so he could only walk on the ground.

After walking for ten miles, he caught a glimpse of a restaurant in the distance, Lin Xu thought, maybe that Chen Zao and his party have been waiting for too long and are unwilling to wait, and he doesn't need to look for it, so let's take a rest now.

So Lin Xu took out the Buddha's dust, beat the fishing drum and pretended to be a pedestrian to the restaurant.

There was a red cloth hanging outside the door of the restaurant, on which was written a line of big characters in black ink: "Three bowls do not get drunk, and the wine fee is free."

A lot of people gathered at the door eager to try.

Lin Xu shook his head and sighed that people are greedy, but he also wanted to try it in his heart. After all, he has practiced himself, if he went, let alone three bowls or eighteen bowls, he wouldn't be able to get himself drunk!

"Tsk, I seem to be greedy for such small cheap things recently?"

Lin Xu pressed his thoughts, walked through the crowds queuing up to drink at the entrance of the restaurant, found an unoccupied table and sat down, and shouted into it:

"Three bowls of side dishes, two bowls of rice, no meat."

Taoist priests do not abstain from meat, but do not eat five kinds of meat, which are leeks, scallions, garlic, brassica, and coriander.

The waiter at the restaurant was quite considerate, and trotted all the way to refill Lin Xu with a bowl of hot tea, and then enthusiastically said: "Don't you try our family's wine, Daoist? If you don't get drunk after three bowls, I will give you free food along with it." gone."

Lin Xu calmed down and said: "No need, poor people have to hurry, so it's not suitable to drink alcohol."

"Dele." The waiter made a cold face and went by himself. After a while, he brought the food and slammed it on the table lightly.

"Daozhang, you can eat faster, we have a lot of guests."

Lin Xu shook his head and ate silently.

There were more and more people queuing up to challenge, and they had already squeezed into the store. A man happened to line up next to Lin Xu, and when he saw that there was a seat, he sat down across from Lin Xu without asking.

Seeing Lin Xu glanced at him, the man smiled and said, "Please sit, please sit."

Lin Xu no longer cared about him, and ate on his own.

The man saw that there were still a lot of people queuing in front of him, so he chatted with Lin Xu.

"Don't you want to try the priest?"

Lin Xu said coldly: "Try what?"

"Drinking, as long as you don't get drunk after three bowls, you can eat here for free. How can a tough man be drunk by three bowls of wine? There's no reason to take advantage of it for nothing, right Daoist? "

Lin Xu said: "You're right, it's just three bowls of wine, it won't hurt you if you drink it."

The man smiled and said, "Exactly."

"You can take less medicine."

The smile on the corner of the man's mouth froze when he heard the words, and he said, "What does the Taoist priest mean?"

"I said, drink more alcohol, but take less medicine!"

Lin Xu deliberately turned up the volume to attract everyone to look at him.

A man who was holding a big bowl to drink dropped the bowl in his hand and said, "Is this wine drugged?"

For a moment, everyone unconsciously looked at the bowl in their hands, and then fixedly stared at the waiter.

The Xiaoer's face changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Don't make such a joke, Taoist priest."

Lin Xu smiled slightly: "Really, where did those drunk people go?"

Xiaoer said: "Look at what you said, when you're drunk, you'll be helped inside to rest, can we watch people sleep on the floor in this small shop?"

"How long have you been in business?"

"There are many people at noon, and the store opens at noon."

"Have all the drunk people been helped in to rest?"

"Well, that's natural."

Lin Xu put down his chopsticks and said, "Except for a few tables, this small shop of yours is just a back kitchen. How many people can sleep in it?"

As soon as these words came out, the little boy's face turned ashen, and everyone around him sensed that something was wrong, and each of them put up their guard, and some of them had already put away their salutes and prepared to leave.

The little boy shouted inside: "Shopkeeper, someone is making trouble!"

From inside came out a tall and thick savage woman, holding a wrought iron butcher knife in her hand, and shouted: "Which ignorant person is making trouble here?"

"It's him." Xiao Er pointed at Lin Xu.

The woman held the kitchen knife in front of Lin Xu, and said: "Where did you come from, tell me your name!"
