After leaving Mingcui Tower, Jiang Chen put other things behind him. In a few days, the people sent from the front would soon arrive.
He felt that there was a huge danger in Juecuo outside Changgou Village. Although they would not assist the demon slayers during this trip, Jiang Chen felt that they should be prepared.
Jiang Chen walked through streets of different sizes and soon came to Mufu Pharmacy.
Bang bang!
"Old Hu, open the door, but it's Jiang Chen." Jiang Chen patted the door, and soon there was movement inside the drug store, but it was not Lao Hu who opened the door, but he was a tall man with a somewhat pale face. Dongba
Square pillars with fluff.
"Why am I there, where is Lao Hu?" Jiang Chen was slightly surprised.
Fang Zhu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry that I brought the black wolf. Lao Hu hasn't rested for several days and nights, and he is currently studying the wolf corpse."
"I didn't have him help him look after the medicine shop in those days." Fang Zhu sighed. He couldn't figure out what the charm of that wolf corpse was that made Lao Hu so crazy.
"Don't worry about Lao Hu for now. He asked for a long trip in those few days to prepare something for him." Jiang Chen got straight to the point.
"Where should I go on a long trip?" Fang Zhu asked curiously. He opened the door and let Jiang Chen in.
The pungent smell of medicinal herbs from the drug store hit his face, making Jiang Chen frown.
"Hutou Ridge! It's so far away. Are there many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts there?" Fang Zhu was surprised, but he didn't ask too much. He also knew whether Jiang Chen was on patrol at the Yamen and whether he went to that place to perform a certain task.
"Whatever you ask for, he will get it for me."
"Give him some medicine to repel mosquitoes, and give him several bottles of healing medicine, hemostatic medicine, and good antidote." Jiang Chen reported his needs.
Fang Zhu nodded, and Mei Luo sorted all the medicine powder into different categories and put them outside each small medicine bottle.
Jiang Chen picked up a large bag of heavy medicine jars, took out a one hundred tael silver note from his arms and handed it to Fang Zhu.
When Fang Zhu saw the one hundred taels of silver notes in Jiang Chen's legs, his eyes were full of weirdness and he stopped talking.
"No need to look for it!" Jiang Chen waved his thigh, picked up the medicine powder and begged to leave.
"Qian Buqi..." Fang Zhu's weak voice came from behind him. Jiang Chen felt a little embarrassed and turned around.
"Lao Hu's medicine powder is relatively expensive. The two bottles of antidote medicine powder alone cost a hundred taels." Fang Zhu said embarrassedly.
"So expensive!" It was Jiang Chen's turn to be surprised. No wonder Lao Hu's drug store was about to close down. Who could use such expensive medicine?
"Fang Zhu, from now on Jiang Chen comes to get medicine. He doesn't need to pay for anything he wants." At that moment, Lao Hu's voice came from the small cubicle behind the medicine shop.
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up and he saw Lao Hu walking out of the small cubicle with a dirty face. The clothes he was wearing were stained with brown blood, his eyes were bloodshot, and his hair was even messy, but his eyes were not.
Extremely bright.
As soon as Jiang Chen saw the look in Lao Wang's eyes, he immediately knew that Lao Hu had gained something from Wolf Corpse.
"Thank you, Lao Hu. I'll have a drink with you when he comes back from Changgou Village." Jiang Chen didn't show any pretense. After taking the medicine powder, he quickly left. He wanted to prepare other things.
"Lao Hu, has the sun risen from the west? When did I become so generous?" Fang Zhu asked curiously as he watched Jiang Chen's leaving figure.
"You brat, I don't believe I didn't realize that Brat Jiang has become a lot stronger! Every time we meet, Brat Jiang's energy and blood are much stronger than before."
There was excitement in Lao Hu's eyes. The wolf corpse that Jiang Chen brought was worth no less than ten thousand taels of red silver. Those small medicinal powders were nothing.
"My old man is very bad, what else is he planning on?" Fang Zhu touched Dongba and murmured softly.
…
Jiang Chen did not buy a lot of things on the streets. While this trip was full of danger, he was also full of expectations.
He also wanted to know what kind of power the so-called demon slayer had, and what kind of legs he had that could kill weird things.
With Jiang Chen's expectation, three days passed quickly.
Early in the morning on the third day, Jiang Chen got up early. He carried a slightly larger backpack, and after having a hearty breakfast, he quickly came to the Yamen.
The other twelve patrol officers arrived one after another. They all carried a lot of things on their backs and were obviously well prepared. The Yamen also equipped everyone with a tall horse.
"Jiang Chen, I brought so much medicine, didn't I bring food?" Wang Er asked curiously. Most of what they brought was dry food and water, but Jiang Chen brought a lot of powdered medicine.
"Lao Hu, isn't there a lot of game in Hutou Ridge? Am I afraid that there will be nothing to eat?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Besides, the weather is hot, even if it is dry food, it cannot be stored for a few days. It is better not to take it with you. Wouldn't it be more wonderful to hunt some game when the time comes?"
"My boy is not such a thief." Lao Wang smiled hoarsely.
Not long after, Zhou Zhan also came to the Yamen. After nodding to a few people, he stopped talking, but his eyes did linger on Jiang Chen for a long time.
"Jiang Chen, I came east with him." Zhou Zhan was silent for a moment, then called Jiang Chen away alone.
"Have I broken through to the point of concentration?" Jiang Chen followed Zhou Zhan into the corridor next to the Yamen, and Zhou Zhan asked directly.
"No, boss." Jiang Chen nodded. From the contact a year ago, Jiang Chen also knew that Zhou Zhan was an upright man and had no bad intentions, so he naturally didn't hide it.
"Sure enough." When Zhou Zhan heard this, he nodded, with a strange look in his eyes. If he guessed correctly, Jiang Chen was less than twenty years old.
Zhou Zhan was shocked when he thought about the half-step master who was under twenty years old. He took a deep look at Jiang Chen and didn't ask too much. Everyone has secrets, including him.
"I'm fine!" Zhou Zhan continued: "This time when he went to Changgou Village, he had an ominous premonition. If he is in danger, please help them if you can. They will leave it to me.
"
"Boss, I don't worry, I'll take care of him." Jiang Chen nodded solemnly, and Zhou Zhan didn't say anything after seeing Jiang Chen nod.
The two of them continued back to the Yamen gate to wait.
Everyone was quietly waiting for the two exorcists sent from the front, and the wait lasted only an hour.
It wasn't until the sun gradually became stronger and the morning glow filled the ground that everyone saw two figures, one tall and one short, slowly appearing from the front.
Both of them were wearing Taoist robes, and the tall one was a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face.
He has a ruddy and shiny complexion, a full forehead, solemn eyes, and a straight back. He carries a black sword on his back and wears black cloth shoes with red soles.
The woman is not dressed in Taoist robes, but she looks pretty, with a hint of innocence, and her eyes move around lively.
After Zhou Zhan saw the visitor, he went to greet him respectfully.
"I've met my lord."
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Principal Lin Jiu, then junior fellow apprentice Shao Lin."
"He will wait for the two of them to come before deciding whether to resolve the Changgou Village issue."
"Thank you, my lords. Please take a rest first."
"No, it's business." The middle-aged man refused, and Zhou Zhan was not in front of him. He even asked someone to bring two horses over.
"Let's go." Zhou Zhan was also vigorous and resolute in his work. He immediately rode on a horse and took the lead in leading the way.
Jiang Chen and others also followed behind, heading to Hutou Ridge.
