In Qin Shaoyou's opinion, the best way to solve this matter is to find out as soon as possible who are the dignitaries behind the scenes who support the Corpse King, and find a way to eradicate them all!
If the light thing doesn't work, use the dark thing. Only in this way can future troubles be avoided.
It is safest only if the enemy is dead.
But Zuo Qianhu obviously had his own plans.
Qin Shaoyou could only think of ways to see if he could get some clues from other places in order to take precautions.
Of course, he uses his ideas and methods to prevent problems before they happen...
On the way to greet his men to evacuate, Qin Shaoyou thought of the case that happened on the third day of March by the Dazi River, which almost caused the entire army of the Demon Division in Luocheng Town to be wiped out, as well as the mysteriously missing patrol censor Liu Shuyuan.
He combined those two things with the situation here and guessed whether the whole thing would be like this:
When Liu Shuyuan was inspecting Yizhou, he discovered that rich people were raising corpses, and he might even have found out about the relationship between the Fusang Ghost Tree and the Corpse King.
He was shocked and knew that the case was of great importance, so he hurriedly rushed back to the capital to report to the court.
As a result, the forces behind the Corpse King found out about this incident, and they arranged for demons to ambush him by the Rafzi River.
On the Yaosi side of Luocheng Town, they received an urgent request for help from Liu Shuyuan, so the former Baihuguan temporarily assembled a night watchman and rushed to Laizihe for reinforcements.
As a result, no one was rescued, but the team ran into a circle surrounded by demons and ghosts, resulting in the entire army being annihilated...
As for why he was looking for monsters to ambush him, that's easy to explain.
Nighttime is the peak time for ghost activity, and it is common for ghosts to attack passers-by. As long as the hands and feet are handled cleanly, even if the Monster Suppression Department launches an investigation, it will be difficult to find these people who act as protective umbrellas.
They had many ways to avoid responsibility, saying that Liu Shuyuan was unlucky and got into trouble with evil spirits.
Qin Shaoyou thought about it and felt that this conjecture was not impossible.
It just lacks a strong evidence.
And if what happened is really as Qin Shaoyou guessed, then what is the relationship between the protective umbrella and the monster?
Is it just collusion with each other? Or is there another deeper connection?
For what benefit do those who act as protective umbrellas take the risk?
There is also the demon monk ‘Enoki Mushroom’ who can change his appearance at will. In what capacity and what effect does he play in this matter?
Qin Shaoyou rubbed his head and felt a headache.
Again, there are too few clues.
Zuo Qianhu didn't know what breaking news he got from Xu Fangjun, but he actually didn't dare to tell everyone.
There has been no news from the inspector Liu Shuyuan, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.
There is also a prince of Dongchuan who helped the mysterious nobleman to send a message to Zuo Qianhu, asking him to take more care of Qin Shaoyou and other survivors. He was also with the army in the confrontation with the barbarians at Qingtang and has not returned yet.
Qin Shaoyou sighed and shook his head gently.
He could only think of ways to see if he could get some useful clues from other places.
When Qin Shaoyou returned to the "Painted Land as a Prison", Monk Ma and his brothers from Xiaoqi had already found the corpses of the sacrificed night watchmen, and with the help of Shan Daonian, they were able to sew them up, and finally managed to assemble a complete body.
Qin Shaoyou asked someone to get clean clothes for the sacrificed brother. After leaving here, he would find a good coffin for him. Then he put away the "painted ground as a prison" and ordered everyone:
"Master Qianhu has ordered us to evacuate the underground cave. Let's leave now."
"yes."
Everyone responded in unison.
Only Zhu Xiucai remained silent.
He was still lying upright on the ground, looking extremely exhausted.
Shan Daonian went up to him and checked him out. After confirming that there was nothing serious but that he was exhausted and exhausted, he joked:
"Xiucai, Xiucai, you have 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 prescribe some medicine for you before? You didn't take it
Or did you not follow my doctor’s advice to abstain from sex?”
Zhu Xiucai's expression immediately changed as he was lying on the ground. He wanted to retort, "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense," but unfortunately he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth and speak.
Seeing that Zhu Xiucai really didn't have the strength to get up, Qin Shaoyou called Liao Yaosuo and others, hoping that they would carry Zhu Xiucai out.
Monk Ma volunteered: "Why do we need so many people? Just leave it to me."
After saying that, he leaned down and picked up Zhu Xiucai.
It's still like a princess hug.
Zhu Xiucai didn't know whether he was frightened or shy, but his old face turned red.
Soon, Qin Shaoyou took his night watchmen, met with Xue Qingshan and his colleagues from Luocheng Town Demon Division, and then waited for Master Zhang and Master Suquan to exit the underground cave through the secret passage.
After they left, Zuo Qianhu, who was standing under the Fuso Ghost Tree, glanced in the direction of the secret passage and suddenly asked: "You have lived and died together with Qin Zongqi this time. I feel that he
How is this person?"
Ye Zhiqiu, who was standing next to him, after careful consideration, replied: "Mr. Qin is indeed as you said, he is thoughtful and intuitive. He is also very 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 developing weapons, equipment and the abilities of his men."
Speaking of this, Ye Zhiqiu thought of Cui Yougui.
Cui Laodao's talent of exploding as soon as he touched the talisman. If someone else encountered him, the most likely way would be to avoid touching the talisman.
But Qin Shaoyou took a different approach and took advantage of Cui Yougui's shortcomings, and also exerted great power to create a 'Hundred Explosive True Lord'.
There are also weapons such as light smoke bombs, as well as the fighting methods of Qin Shaoyou's night watchmen, which opened Ye Zhiqiu's eyes.
So he was somewhat full of praise for Qin Shaoyou.
Zuo Qianhu nodded slightly and did not comment, but instead turned his attention to Cen Biqing.
Cen Biqing tilted her head and thought for a long time before saying, "I feel like he is a bit like you, Mr. Qianhu."
"like me?"
Zuo Qianhu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Ye Zhiqiu and Cen Biqing looked at each other, wondering why Zuo Qianhu asked them what they thought of Qin Shaoyou, but they didn't dare 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 darkness, making the world no longer pitch black.
The villagers in Shuanggui Village who were controlled by the Three Corpse Insect Gu had already received treatment from the Yaosi Night Watchmen of Yizhou Town and Luocheng Town Yaosi, and all the Three Corpse Insect Gu on their bodies had been completely eliminated.
While Qin Shaoyou was happy for these villagers, he also had some regrets.
According to the usual style of the night watchman of the Demon Suppression Department, evil insects like the Three Corpse Insect Gu must be burned and disposed of as soon as possible after killing them.
The night watchmen of the Yizhou Town Demon Division and the Luocheng Town Demon Division most likely disposed of them according to routine and would not leave the corpses of the Three Corpses Insect Gu behind.
And this left Qin Shaoyou without a lot of materials for making the Three Ghost Pickled Corpses.
Just as he was regretting it, Xue Qingshan suddenly came up and whispered: "Shao You, I asked someone to keep the corpse of the three-corpse insect Gu. Can this thing be used for cooking?"
"Yes, it's so powerful. Not only can you cook, but it also tastes delicious. It's crunchy, chicken-flavored, and full of nutrients." Qin Shaoyou was pleasantly surprised.
Xue Qingshan was aroused by his description. He licked his lips and asked humbly: "After this dish is made, can you give me some to eat?"
His humility was not because of Qin Shaoyou, but because of Snake General Ling and Jiutian Dangmo Patriarch.
This time the Snake General Order did not flash red light, which meant that Jiutian Demon Patriarch had tacitly agreed to send some ghost-pickled three corpses to Xue Qingshan.
Xue Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief. While he was happy to finally have a new dish to eat, he was also a little confused.
He muttered in his heart: "It's strange, doesn't Master Grandmaster value me very much? Why is he so fussy about spiritual food this time?"
