"The human-shaped smoke is the reason why Taoist Master Qinghe failed to perform the technique."
Qin Yi sipped wine alone and listened to the analysis of the tassel in the ring.
"If I'm not wrong, there is probably an ancient corpse deep in the earth's veins here, which is causing the drought."
Qin Yi wondered: "It's still raining today, and there is groundwater underground. Where does this drought begin?"
"Hanba? No." Liusu said: "Raining from the sky is caused by the intersection of the yin and yang of heaven and earth. To the extent that it can cause drought, the cultivation of Hanba has reached an extremely high level. The current one has not reached this level, but it is just
It's just an ancient corpse that had a certain amount of cultivation during its lifetime... Of course, if it continues to develop, it may turn into a drought demon."
"Then why haven't you heard of problems with other people's well water? Why are you targeting Wang's well water only?"
"It has something to do with the flash of lightning. Someone brought the drying power of the ancient corpse to the Wang family residence, which caused the ground to be flooded and even the ditches to dry up."
Qin Yi subconsciously looked at the fat shopkeeper on the counter.
Monsters, electrified, paying attention to the Wang family residence... The clues are so clear, Conan is not needed to solve the case, the truth is already clear.
The fat shopkeeper was pouring himself a drink leisurely, his little eyes narrowed, as if he was enjoying his wine. As if sensing Qin Yi's gaze, he also turned to look at Qin Yi, his chubby smile looked a bit cute
.
"Shopkeeper." Qin Yi raised his glass and saluted: "It's really hard to open a shop during the Chinese New Year and not close to watch the Spring Festival Gala or anything."
"What is the Spring Festival Gala?" The fat shopkeeper said with a smile: "When you open a restaurant, it is like this. Many regular customers are used to having a few drinks in the evening, and then they close after everyone has left. It seems that the customers are not locals, this is a Chinese New Year.
It’s hard work when you’re still running around.”
"Looking at how hard I work, can this meal be free?"
"The guests were joking, it's a small business..."
"Then let me treat you." Qin Yi smiled and said, "Come for a drink?"
At this time, the last customer in the restaurant had already paid and left. The fat shopkeeper didn't say anything. He slowly arranged the tables and chairs, then slowly closed the door. After closing the last door panel, he still looked a little out of breath, acting like an ordinary person.
There is no difference between ordinary people and fat paper.
Qin Yi looked at him with interest.
After closing the shop completely, the fat shopkeeper took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat, walked over unsteadily, sat down in front of Qin Yi and lamented: "It's inconvenient to be fat. Unlike our guest, who is in great health, this spring is so cold.
He was actually wearing a blue shirt."
Qin Yi smiled and said: "It's better to be fatter, so that I can match Miss Wang's family better."
The fat shopkeeper beamed with joy and said, "I'm telling you, Miss Wang's family is fertile at first sight. If she takes a wife, she can have a litter..."
"A litter of piglets or a litter of mice?"
"Uh..." The fat shopkeeper winked: "They're almost the same."
Qin Yi couldn't help laughing: "What's your last name, the shopkeeper? Is it Pi?"
"You are a genius." The fat shopkeeper did not answer the question, but asked: "What did the guests gain from going to the Wang family today? Have you met Miss Wang's family?"
Qin Yi twitched his cheek: "Then the young lady should leave it to you."
"Could it be that the guests really went to access the well?"
"Yes, I am a professional in clearing pipes." Qin Yi said: "Since the shopkeeper always pays attention to Miss Wang, does he know about the situation of the well water drying up?"
"I know a little bit." The fat shopkeeper took a sip of wine and suddenly became alert: "You agreed to treat me?"
"Yes, yes, I'm asking you. The more detailed you know about the well water situation, the more I can ask you for."
"That's good." The fat shopkeeper drank wine leisurely and said slowly: "Actually, this well dried up three years ago. At that time, the Taoist priest from the mountain came to divert water to solve the problem. It recurred three years later, and Wang
The members are reluctant to pay for those so-called magical instruments from Taoist priests - they say they don't cost money, but those magical instruments are all money."
"So you're going to invite someone else?"
"Yes, the list has been sent to the county and county. After half a year of work, many so-called skilled workers came to see it, but they were helpless. I heard that there is a small country in southern Xinjiang that even changed its king three times.
No one has been able to build such a mere well, and it seems that the New Year will not be able to pass..."
Qin Yi stared at him: "If you talk about well, just talk about well. If you talk about the country in southern Xinjiang, I won't treat you!"
"Oh." The fat shopkeeper weighed another piece of beef and ate it happily before sighing and saying: "Taoist Priest Qinghe came here by himself. Yuanwai Wang didn't invite him at all."
"Come here uninvited?" Qin Yi asked curiously: "Is it really for the sake of peace in the countryside?"
"Maybe." The fat shopkeeper blinked: "The Wang family has no water, so why don't they send someone to fetch water from all the way to their house? It caused so many complaints, maybe the immortals can't stand it anymore."
Qin Yi looked at him without saying anything.
The drying up of the well water was obviously done by the fat shopkeeper himself. Qin Yi naturally wanted to test why he did this by asking him, but it seemed that he wanted to lead the matter to the Taoist temple on the mountain.
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "If Taoist Priest Qinghe can't solve this matter, I wonder if Taoist Priest Qingxu, who has lived for 250 years, will personally take action. It's really exciting."
Qin Yi pondered for a moment and asked, "What if Taoist Master Qingxu really takes action himself?"
The shopkeeper's smile narrowed: "That's great, just for everyone to see if he has a life span of 250 years."
"..."
"It's getting late, thank you for your hospitality." The shopkeeper stood up unsteadily: "I'm going to spy on Miss Wang. Do you want to come with us?"
"You'd better go on your own."
The shopkeeper didn't say anything more and quietly slipped out through the side door.
Qin Yi looked at his back speechlessly. By letting him stay in his wine shop, did he mean to give away all the property on the counter for free? This attitude was simply too obvious. He was deliberately letting himself follow him out of curiosity to spy on the Wang family.
Miss's...
"You are wearing a thin green shirt at this time of year. Anyone who is not stupid can tell that you are practicing cultivation and are not an ordinary person." Liusu said: "There is something in this fat mouse's words, and he just asked you to follow him and take a look."
Qin Yi nodded and followed directly.
Not long after, he saw the fat shopkeeper leaning on the side door of Wang's house with his butt sticking out, looking in through the crack in the door. Qin Yi walked around to the other side speechlessly, lightly climbed onto the courtyard wall, and hid behind a tree.
.
This is the backyard of the Wang family. There are many water tanks in the yard. It seems that water has been brought here recently from other places for later use. At a glance, the densely packed water tanks reflect countless moons in the moonlight, and trypophobia attacks.
It looked very captivating, making an otherwise ordinary scene look like a horror movie.
Before Qin Yi had time to complain, he saw Taoist Priest Qinghe sneaking into the yard.
He stood in the middle of the yard and looked around the water tank. A ferocious look suddenly appeared on his fairy-like face. He held the magic formula in his hand and muttered something.
After a while, countless green lights emerged from his hands and fell into all the water tanks.
Taoist priest Qinghe sneered, turned around and left.
"Toxins..." Qin Yi is a pharmacist after all. After sniffing the breath carefully, he recognized it: "It's actually corpse poison?"
No matter what the reason was, it would be fine to use other poisons, but the appearance of corpse poison in the hands of a Taoist priest with a celestial spirit made Qin Yi feel a little creepy because of the strong sense of disobedience.
The next moment, he saw the fat shopkeeper releasing electric current from the crack in the door, accurately bouncing in all the water tanks. Qin Yi clearly felt that all the toxins were dissolved by such an electric shock.
The Taoist priest is poisoning, and the monster is secretly helping people detoxify?
I originally thought that the fat mouse was the villain, but from this point of view, it’s really unclear who the villain is.
When an originally ordinary well dries up, the things involved behind it seem to be becoming more and more unusual...
