Yu Changren and Ma Jiaxiang looked at each other, seemingly unable to digest Zhou Shi's answer.
A poison master who possesses the art of refining poison and can hardly be captured alive even with the head-catching power of two gold medalists, how can he be so easily blinded by a weak-looking little shopkeeper?
"I said, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. If you falsely report the enemy's situation, you will be punished for obstructing official duties!" Yu Changren threatened viciously.
Ma Jiaxiang quickly pressed his shoulders to signal him not to talk nonsense, and then said to Zhou Shi gently:
"Haha, Brother Zhou is indeed a member of the underworld, and he is really capable. If you really destroy the poison master's eyes, you will be a big help to us."
Although it was Xiao Lin who picked his eyeballs, Zhou Shi couldn't tell the truth. After all, Xiao Lin is a fierce ghost. If the court's detectives knew that they were mixed up with the ghost, they would inevitably suspect that they were demons practicing evil arts, or were being manipulated by the ghost.
If you confuse your mind and send people to exterminate Xiao Lin, you will be in trouble.
Xiao Lin not only showed no desire to attack a living person, but also saved Zhou Shi's life at a critical moment. This situation was so abnormal that it was difficult to explain clearly to the officials.
"After this battle, the poison master should not be able to commit crimes again in a short period of time. But you should be more careful. This time Brother Zhou severely injured the poison master and his appearance was remembered by him. He will definitely come to take revenge on you in the future." Ma Jiaxiang
He sincerely advised, "Although Brother Zhou and Mo Laoben have extraordinary methods, the poison master used some dirty tricks that are hard to guard against."
Ma Jiaxiang’s words make people feel comfortable.
"Thank you Ma Captou for reminding me. It was also thanks to the two of you who injured the Poison Master tonight and then pressed hard from behind that I was able to succeed with one blow. If you two come to Jiangdu in the future, I will definitely treat you well."
Yu Changren snorted coldly and said: "If we can't catch that poison master again, I'm afraid we will see each other again soon."
The two detectives stood up, clasped their fists, said, "Let's go!" and ran out the door.
Zhou Shi lay down on the table and said weakly: "Mr. Mo, I seem to be poisoned..."
"It's not poison. Come on, drink this."
Mr. Mo handed over a bowl of wine, and Zhou Shi poured it into his mouth. He felt cold and refreshing, and the scene in front of him slowly stopped rotating.
"What did you give me to drink?"
"Yin wine, the kind usually given to guests." Mr. Mo said, put the wine jar away, and continued, "Based on your description, I estimate that the poison master used an evil secret technique - the soul-absorbing technique.
”
"Soul-sucking magic?"
"You said that the poison master suddenly attacked you when you were running for your life, and took some blood from your body before escaping, right?"
"Uh...yes."
"Originally, you didn't know that he was a poison master and there was no threat to him. So why did he attack you when he was busy running for his life? I think he was using your blood as a guide to absorb the vitality from you to heal his injuries. Otherwise, he
With his body at the time, there was no way he could escape."
Mr. Mo took out the cigarette rod, lit it, and took a few puffs before saying:
"This soul-absorbing technique was introduced from the Western Region. It uses a part of a living person's body as an introduction to absorb his vitality and even his soul. The user can use this to enrich his body and even extend his life."
Zhou Shi felt a dull pain in the wound on his chest.
"Don't be afraid, the poison master only took a few drops of your blood, so it won't do much harm. You just felt dizzy just because you were angry because you were sucked, so I used the yin energy in the yin wine to make up for you. If you
If you are not from the underworld, I really can’t save you."
It can still be like this... Zhou Shi breathed out a few times and felt that her body was indeed much more at ease.
"Oh, yes. Mr. Mo, look at this."
Zhou Shi took out a small black bottle from his pocket.
"This is?"
"I took this from the poison master during the chaos. I don't know what it is."
This is of course not true.
This is the golden thread in Zhou Yong's iron abacus, "fished" from the poison master!
At that time, he had just given the poison master a "monument-opening hand", and immediately took out the golden wire fishing from the iron abacus. After all, neither Hu Gongzun nor Huo Zhezi are suitable for dealing with living people, and it is the only one that can work.
When the poison master reached out to take his blood, Zhou Shi knew that he could not defend himself, so he used a trick and hung the golden hook on his body. When the poison master took his blood, it was equivalent to eating his "bait", and he was
The fishhook was hooked. He pulled and lifted it, and the fishhook brought the poison master's little black bottle to his hand.
Mr. Mo took the small black bottle and looked at it carefully, and finally put it on the counter.
"You can't tell much from the appearance, but since it's on the poison master, it must be poison."
Zhou Shi nodded heavily. He thought he could catch something good from the poison master.
"However, if you can know what kind of poison is contained here, you can at least be prepared when you encounter it next time. You should keep this carefully first."
Zhou Shi put away the small black bottle, thought about it, and expressed his doubts:
"This poison master knows too much, including poison refining, earth escape, and soul-absorbing techniques. They all come from different places and belong to different categories. Do you think there is an organization behind him?
?"
Mr. Mo nodded and said: "This is also my worry. If this is the case, that organization must be just evil people. I don't know what they are planning."
Zhou Shi sighed. Mr. Mo and Ruan Hunxiong coincided with each other. They both felt that the demons were planning some conspiracy - that's right!
"Mr. Mo, I am going to Jiangdu this time..."
He told Cheng Youyi's son to exorcise evil spirits, met Ruan Hunxiong and his plan to use Fengde Building as the new Yinhun Inn.
After listening to this, Mr. Mo sat on a stool and took a few puffs of cigarette silently, saying:
"Well, Fengde Building...so that's your old club? Hehe, I really found a treasure."
He blew out a puff of smoke and said, "Yes, Jiangdu is so big, there really need to be a few more rogues, otherwise there will only be more and more evil spirits and ghosts like that good nephew."
Speaking of resentful spirits and ghosts, Zhou Shi thought of Xiao Lin.
"Mr. Mo, Xiaolin's side..."
"I asked a colleague to take a look." Mr. Mo knocked on the cigarette pot, "Her parents and younger brother all died unexpectedly, and the government is investigating."
"It's Xiaolin..."
"No, both eyes of the deceased are intact. They were both killed."
Zhou Shi frowned, what's going on? Xiao Lin didn't do it?
The Lin family killed Xiao Lin and married the evil young master of the Zhang family. It was Xiao Lin's resentment that drove her to become a vicious ghost. Every injustice has its owner, and it is normal for her to seek her life from her family, but
She was not the one who killed the Lin family members?
Someone killed her enemy before Xiao Lin? Why? A heroic hero? But who else knows about this? Could it be...
Zhou Shi felt a chill behind him.
"Mr. Mo, could someone kill Xiaolin's enemies in order to prevent her from entering reincarnation, leaving her nowhere to seek revenge?"
"Why do you think so?"
Mr. Mo's strange eye stared straight at Zhou Shi, making it impossible for him to lie.
"I have been thinking about Xiao Lin, so when I came back, I stopped by Zhang's house to take a look. In the side room where the salesman Chen Zhu died, I found a Guanyin with his eyes wiped out."
He did not say that he had seen the Wumu Buddha statue before, because it involved his own time travel. If Mr. Mo found out that Shopkeeper Zhou had died once, he would probably treat Zhou Shi as a ghost and exorcise him on the spot.
"Erase your eyes..." Mr. Mo pondered for a while and said, "Although it is a strange thing, it may not have anything to do with Xiao Lin. After all, praying to gods and Buddhas is superstitious and cannot interfere with the human world."
Zhou Shi shrugged, yes, it’s superstitious. It’s superstitious to have a room full of dead people come to drink and punch each other every night.
"What about Xiaolin? She disappeared after being splashed with blood by the poison master's tongue."
"Although the blood on the tip of a boy's tongue is a yang thing, it can only dispel the yin energy and cannot hurt the evil spirits. Look, isn't she right behind you?"
As soon as Zhou Shi turned around, the ghost bride wearing a red hijab was standing behind him. He was so frightened that he jumped back and hit the counter.
"Mom, can you stop being so elusive?"
Mr. Mo raised his feet and pressed against the counter to avoid being knocked over by Zhou Shi.
"What is the ghost? She is a ghost. How do you want her to haunt?"
Also...
Xiao Lin seemed to understand their conversation and walked towards the darkness of the corner and disappeared.
"So why does she always follow me?"
"Repay the favor, maybe."
Zhou Shi didn’t know what to say.
"Then, let's go to Jiangdu, and she will follow?"
"I'm afraid it's not up to you to decide whether she comes with you..."
Zhou Shi sighed, discussed various details of moving to Fengde Building with Mr. Mo, then returned to his room and slept until dawn.
……
A small dirt bag suddenly appeared on a wasteland west of Zhoujiadian. A man exposed half of his body and struggled to dig his legs out of the soil.
"Hoo--bah, bah!"
He spit out the mud in his mouth and collapsed on the ground.
Under the moonlight, you can see that his eyes are two bloody holes!
"Damn it..."
While he was bandaging the wound, a familiar voice came from behind.
"Hey, why did you become like this?"
He turned around suddenly, forgetting that he couldn't see anything.
"Why are you here?"
"Master said that the imperial court has noticed our movements and sent gold medal detectives to Jiangdu to search. Who knew that you would run into it, hehe..."
"Don't laugh, you'll know how powerful he is when you meet him."
"Hey, I'm waiting."
"What other orders does the master have?"
"Hey, the master said, it will be during the Spring Festival."
"Spring Festival..." The blind man paused and seemed to be counting the time, "There are less than five months left. Well, by then, the entire Jiangdu will..."
