Chapter 84 Step by Step

One night passed.

Zhou Qing opened his eyes, stood up and moved his body.

He practiced the Blue Water Kung Fu all night and felt refreshed.

Including tonight, they have stayed in Liujiacun for nine days.

During these nine days, he spent most of the time in his room practicing his internal skills.

Because Chen Zhuo didn't expect him to be able to solve the case. As for the Fu brothers, he was the mole himself, let alone asking him to do anything.

[Skill: Blue Water Kung Fu]

[Progress: Second Level (2005/3000)]

'According to this progress, if I buy another Qi-Consolidating Pill, I will be able to practice the Bishui Gong to the third level within twenty days. ’

Looking at the progress of Bishui Kung in his sight, Zhou Qing fell into deep thought.

The Fu brothers' subsequent plans last night were also monitored by the tiger eagle and the two-winged golden silkworm Gu.

Give him a month to prepare, and on the full moon night of the next month, he will be sure to deal with Lin Tianzheng, whose strength has been greatly reduced.

Of course, being sure is not enough.

The Fu brothers' words reminded him.

He could find someone to work with.

"The Fu brothers are back." At this time, Chen Zhuo spoke up, interrupting Zhou Qing's thoughts.

I saw two brothers, Fu Zongchang and Fu Zongming, yawning and walking into the woods.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers." Zhou Qing greeted him.

"It's not hard work, it's all about handling the case." Fu Zongchang clasped his fists.

"Leave it to us." Chen Zhuo looked solemn.

"Sorry to bother you two."

Zhou Qing and Chen Zhuo entered Huanglong Mountain to the north of the village and hid in the woods at the foot of the mountain.

In this way, if someone wants to go up the mountain to report a message, they can follow it secretly.

Zhou Qing had already sent Tiger Eagle to search the mountains outside Huanglong Mountain.

It's a pity that the miasma and fog in Huanglong Mountain are more intense, and Tiger Eagle's vision is greatly affected.

It is extremely difficult to find a specific person on such a huge mountain without anyone to lead the way.

Letting Tiger Eagle search the mountain is just to familiarize yourself with the environment in advance.

The two stayed there from day to evening, and no one from Liujia Village entered the mountain.

When it got completely dark, the two Fu brothers also came to the forest.

Not long after, a figure took advantage of the moonlight and quietly walked into the mountain.

"somebody is coming!"

Chen Zhuo's eyes lit up after waiting all day.

After the man groped his way up the mountain, Chen Zhuo was ready to follow him.

However, before he could take action, Zhou Qing rushed out first.

rustle

Although Zhou Qing's movement skills were good, he still made obvious noises while running with all his strength.

"What are you doing?!" Chen Zhuo was shocked, but he didn't dare to call him loudly. He could only use his kamikaze kicks to chase him out.

"." Fu Zongming was obviously stunned for a moment.

"Brother, what is he doing?"

"I don't know, follow me." Fu Zongchang frowned.

The two chased after them, not much slower than Chen Zhuo and Zhou Qing.

When the two arrived, they saw that Zhou Qing had pushed the thin village chief to the ground and tied him tightly with a rope.

"Sir, what are you doing?!" The village chief looked at the four people in front of him with horror on his face.

"Do you think we don't know that you are colluding with the mountain spirit?" Zhou Qing sneered.

"It's better to recruit him truthfully! This way you can avoid some physical pain."

"Adults, I was wronged!" The village chief quickly looked at Chen Zhuo and the two Fu brothers who had ugly expressions.

"When we were here, you avoided going up the mountain. Why did you go up the mountain in the middle of the night when we left?!" Zhou Qing's face darkened.

"It's okay if you don't want to confess. Once you enter the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Department and all the eighteen instruments of torture are provided, I believe you will confess!"

"I uh——!" The village chief looked desperate, but Zhou Qing stuffed his mouth with linen.

"Get it done, so you don't have to worry about him biting his tongue and committing suicide."

Zhou Qing patted the dust on his hands, and as he spoke, he lifted the village chief up.

At this time, the two Fu brothers looked at each other with strange expressions.

Chen Zhuo's expression felt as if he had eaten a fly, "Why are you taking action without permission!"

"It is very dangerous to enter the mountain. No one knows the strength of the mountain spirit. It is best to go back and interrogate clearly before sending people up the mountain." Zhou Qing said to himself.

"If that's the case, what else does it have to do with us?!" Chen Zhuo asked back.

"Is there no merit points for catching an accomplice?" Zhou Qing was stunned.

"Of course there is, but compared to completing the task, it is much less." Fu Zongchang explained.

"That's all." Zhou Qing didn't care.

"Then shall we go up the mountain?" Fu Zongming was a little unsure.

"Let's take the prisoner back first. There was such a big movement, I don't know if he alerted the enemy. And without being interrogated, who knows if he will lead the way indiscriminately."

Fu Zongchang pondered and decided to change his plan.

Judging from Zhou Qing's "cowardly" appearance, he definitely doesn't want to go up the mountain.

If Chen Zhuo went up the mountain alone and something happened, and they escaped unscathed, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

"Brother is right." Fu Zongming reacted and agreed.

The village chief does not know the true identity of the person summoned, so even if he is caught, they are not afraid of being discovered.

But they really didn't expect that Zhou Qing would be so "brainless".

After Chen Zhuo was silent for a moment, he nodded.

"It can only be this way."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!" Zhou Qing picked up the village chief and put him on Chen Zhuo's shoulders like a chicken.

"If you lack merit points, you will be the one to capture the person."

"." Chen Zhuo's face twitched, and after holding it in for a long time, he said "Thank you very much."

It was obviously Zhou Qing who had done something wrong, but he couldn't get angry and had to thank him.

What is this?

"We're all colleagues. You're welcome. Just remember to buy me a drink." Zhou Qing smiled and waved his hand. Chen Zhuo had to thank him, otherwise going up the mountain tonight would be a disaster.

"." Chen Zhuo's lips moved, almost causing internal injuries.

"Let's go." Fu Zongchang looked at Chen Zhuo and sighed, with an expression that said "I can understand your mood."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qing was so cowardly that he accidentally hit them and saved their lives.

In this case, we have to make another calculation.

The four took the village chief back to the county seat.

After interrogation, the village chief confessed everything.

He discovered that his wife had an affair with a warrior passing by the village many years ago, and the son was not his biological son.

After being stimulated, he colluded with the Wushen cultists and tricked his son into going up the mountain and feeding the mandrills with his body.

Later, he was coerced by the Witch God cultists and assisted them in refining the human elixir.

The so-called human elixir utilizes the special physique of the mandrill.

The mandrill will refine the essence of the flesh and blood it swallows, store it in the Dantian, and condense it into a blood elixir.

If you feed some precious medicinal herbs, the blood pill will be even more powerful.

Wait until the mandrill blood elixir has enough power, then kill it to get the elixir.

This method of refining alchemy is primitive and extremely cruel, but it can greatly reduce the chance of failure in refining alchemy.

Even people who have not mastered the art of alchemy can still refine bleeding pills.

However, refining human elixirs was an activity explicitly prohibited by the Jin Dynasty.

Once discovered, Lingchi was executed.

Of course, for the Witch God believers, they don't care about this at all.

Eventually, the village chief was handed over to the Yamen to await execution.

Later, the case was snatched away by two demon-suppressing envoys in the Jinjin realm.

Because refining human elixirs will result in the death penalty, but taking blood elixirs will not.

After the mission is completed, the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division will not care about the ownership of the blood pill.

Although the people of the Demon Suppressing Department dare not refine this kind of precious medicine that can assist in the movement of tendons, they still have the courage to take it.

Outside the gate of the Demon Suppression Division's stronghold.

Zhou Qing watched the two demon-suppressing envoys leave. He left the city alone, dressed up in disguise, and headed for Jiulian Mountain.

Missed the ghost market and black market transactions.
