Jishi Pharmacy.
The place was filled with a pungent smell of herbal medicine, with paper bags tied with hemp rope scattered on the table.
โAlright, alright, Brother Zhao, whatโs the matter? Couldnโt it be discussed outside? Why drag me in here?โ
Yan Jing was pulled into the pharmacy room by Zhao Huai, helplessly patting his own sleeves.
โBrother Yan, what you said came true.โ
Zhao Huai looked at Yan Jing, his eyes filled with seriousness.
โWhat matter?โ
Yan Jing felt that he had said quite a lot, as there were countless bits of news big and small every day. There was always more work for his brain to do.
โDid you win the bet on Cuju?โ
โOr the case where you were questioned by the constable?โ
Zhao Huai shook his head: โNeither, the constableโs case has already passed.โ โYou forgot? Itโs the matter of the demons.โ
Yan Jing looked at Zhao Huai, his eyes revealing a sudden realization, and finally remembered it.
โDo you know about Jingyang Town?โ
Zhao Huai asked quite seriously.
Yan Jing nodded: โOf course, it was because this happened that I reminded you.โ
โTell me more?โ
Zhao Huai raised his eyebrows.
โWellโฆ the matter is quite simple, but somewhat bizarre,โ Yan Jing mused.
โOne night a few days ago, many people in Jingyang Town suddenly disappeared. Everyone thought it was the doing of demons and reported directly to the government office.โ
โBut the next day, most of the missing people returned. According to them, they were blown away by a demonic wind and woke up in the jungle. As for whether that demonic wind was a demon, and what happened to those people in the end, I donโt know.โ
โHow is that different?โ
After listening to Yan Jingโs explanation, Zhao Huai couldnโt help but mutter.
โWhatโs not the same? Where did you hear other news?โ
Yan Jing asked directly, and his sources were indeed extensive and unparalleled, even if sometimes inaccurate. He didnโt believe anyone could get news faster than him.
Zhao Huai replied, โYour version is indeed different from what I heard. My version is that the town was ravaged by demons, and many people died.โ
โWho told you that?โ Yan Jing furrowed his brows and said straightforwardly,
โThe people who came back were all normal. Nobody died.โ
โA sect disciple told me.โ
โDid the disciple really say that?โ
Zhao Huai recounted the conversation with the girl in the green skirt to Yan Jing.
โA sect disciple in a blue long skirt told you that demons killed many people in Jingyang Town?โ
Yan Jing stroked his chin, pondering.
โWhy would they say that?โ
โIs it possible that all the people who returned are dead, and all are transformed by demons?โ Zhao Huai revealed his thoughts.
Yan Jing pursed his lips: โThat possibility is quite small, demons have never done such a thing. Their main goal is to eat humans, and the purpose of infiltrating and disguising themselves is also to eat humans. Your reasoning is completely meaningless. Whatโs more, there are no flaws in the returned people, and theyโve been living in peace.โ
Then he thought about it and comforted, โJinzhou is still safe for now. Since sect disciples have come down the mountain, there should be no need to worry.โ
Zhao Huai pondered, โIs it possible for a large number of demons to invade a town?โ
Yan Jing couldnโt help but smile, denying, โThere are basically not so many demons now. Forces led by the Immortal Sect have vigorously eliminated many of them, and demons are no longer rampant.โ
โEven the notorious demon lair of a hundred years ago, Blackwind Cave, was rumored to have been destroyed by a Mighty of a sect.โ
โBlackwind Cave?โ
Zhao Huai heard a new term and found it quite intriguing.
โYes, itโs an old demon lair with all kinds of powerful demons and evil spirits. Theyโve devoured countless people, but in the end, it was all flattened with a sword.โ
Just as Yan Jing and Zhao Huai were talkingโฆ freewebn(o)vel.com
Outside the door, a flustered servant ran to the entrance of Jishi Pharmacy, shouting loudly:
โDoctor Yan! Doctor Yan!โ โPlease save my young master!โ
โWhat happened?โ
Yan Jing looked up and saw that this servant was clearly a member of some family.
โMy young master fought with his father and suddenly fainted!โ
โNo matter how we call to him, he wonโt wake up. Pinching his acupuncture points is useless, his face is bloodless, and itโs as if heโs been hexed,โ the servant said mournfully.
โWhich family are you from, and who is your young master?โ
The servant was too anxious and hadnโt mentioned his name or family background. Yan Jing didnโt blame him and had already gotten used to itPeople tend to be like this when they are in a hurry.
โMy master is the prefecture chief of Jinzhou, and his son is Li Yanqing of the Li family.โ
Upon hearing the servantโs words, Zhao Huai also couldnโt help but be shocked.
Whatโs going on? He had just seen Li Yanqing earlier.
Wasnโt he fine just then?
How did this happen so suddenly?
โSo, itโs the son of Governor Li.โ
Yan Jing listened and slowly nodded, then asked again, โTell me more about the symptoms so I can take some medicine with me.โ
โHeโs unconscious and often talks in his sleep, with painful expressions.โ
โIt sounds like heโs been poisoned with a hallucinogen,โ Yan Jing concluded, but noticed that Zhao Huaiโs face was no longer as calm as before, so he asked tentatively:
โWhy, you know this person?โ His tone was full of curiosity.
โYes, he once apprenticed under me.โ
Zhao Huai furrowed his brows, his mind still not understanding how Li
Yanqing could have had an accident when he had been fine just a moment ago.
Yan Jing could see from Zhao Huaiโs expression that he seemed to know something, so he said to the servant at the side:
โWait here for a moment.โ
โYes!โ
Although the servant was anxious, he had no other choice.
โDo you know whatโs wrong with him?โ
Yan Jing pressed Zhao Huai for an answer.
Zhao Huai explained, โI just found out today that he had demonic qi in him. However, I have suppressed it, and it should be harmless.โ
โCould it be that the suppression has failed within this short period of time?โ
Yan Jing smiled from the corner of his mouth and said, โSuppressing demonic qi is not easy. It seems that you have some abilities that I havenโt seen before.โ
โWould you like to come with me?โ
He didnโt dare to let the servant wait too long after all, peopleโs lives were at stake, and he asked Zhao Huai directly.
Zhao Huai nodded.
โLetโs go and have a look.โ
After all, Li Yanqing helped him before, and he couldnโt just stand idly by.
Of course, on the way, Zhao Huai also habitually threw his golden bronze coins.
[Lucky Strike]
The hexagramโs message for the night read: โGood fortune relies on misfortune, as misfortune hides behind fortune; consider every aspect, all lies within your heart.โ Hexagram one: โAlluring fragrance attracts demonic forces unintentionally while mentors have no intent and people have no destiny. Following this path, you will receive the instruction of โMisfortuneโ.โ Seeking Guidance: Rising demonic winds, numerous calamities.
Hexagram two: โDemonic wind lingers alone, cutting down anyone in its way. Stand still, and you will receive the indication of โMisfortuneโ.โ Seeking Guidance: Dire misfortune and tribulation.
โWhat is this situation?โ
Zhao Huai looked at the result, unable to help but be dumbfounded.
Going and not going, both bring misfortune! What the hell?
The hexagrams today were a bit strange.
โChange the result of misfortune.โ
Facing this situation, Zhao Huai had experience and decided to use the special effect of [Lucky Strike] first.
โMisfortune leans on fortune and fortune is hidden in misfortune.โ
Hexagram threeโฆ.
