Zhang Family.
The sky is blue and the sun is bright, and the wind is blowing.
Bang bang bang!
The head catcher Yuan Heng knocked on the door knocker several times, and the courtyard was silent.
"Master Yuan, are we waiting for the city patrol camp to arrive?" The detective felt a chill running down his spine as he spoke.
This is already the third case in the city. A few days ago, Mr. Li's whole family hanged themselves, except for Xinna's concubine. No matter how they were tested, it was determined to be suicide.
The day before yesterday, a big fat pig went crazy in Nancheng and went on a rampage, killing and injuring more than a dozen people.
This morning someone heard screams coming from the Zhang Family yard, and the neighbors rushed to the Yamen to report the incident.
"If we wait any longer, this family will all die!"
Yuan Heng has quite a background and learned a lot of information from the clan.
In just half a month, the territory of Xuzhou has become a mess, strange cases occur frequently in various places, and families are wiped out at every turn. Domestic animals that are usually docile suddenly become extremely powerful, biting and attacking their owners like crazy.
Before the imperial army arrived, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, local officials blamed all the cases on the demons.
After saying that, Yuan Heng's inner energy circulated, and he opened the door with a palm.
The yard of a single-family house is not big, and you can get an overview of it in a blink of an eye.
Deadly quiet, cold, as if no one has lived there for a long time, lifeless!
Yuan Heng Holding down the waist knife, news came from the clan that the warrior's inner energy is quite lethal to demons and monsters.
The detectives hesitated for a moment and then followed in.
"There's no one in the wing."
"The chickens in the cage are dead."
Only the main room with the door closed was left. Yuan Heng was not a reckless man, so he found a pole in the courtyard and opened the door from a distance of ten feet.
The sun shines into the main room, and what comes into view are three silk cocoons, as pale as snow.
The cocoon was three or four feet long, wrapping the corpse in it, leaving only a dry, shriveled head exposed. A hole as big as a fist was opened on the top of the head, and it seemed as if there were demons and ghosts sucking the person from the top of the head into a mummy.
Such a horrific scene scared the police officers back one after another.
"This is... a spider web!"
Yuan Heng lowered his eyes and tried to step into the house, but his feet had not yet fallen.
Suddenly, a lump of earth bulged out from the ground, and a black shadow emerged from it, striking directly at Yuan Heng's face.
"Just waiting for you!"
The sword flashed past, and the black shadow let out a shrill scream. Only when it fell to the ground could it be seen clearly.
It was actually a black spider as big as a man's head, with a bulging abdomen with bloody patterns, and it swelled and shrank like a ferocious human face. The spider demon's front legs were broken in half, and dark green juice flowed out, exuding a disgusting stench.
"It's not good, it's poisonous..."
Yuan Heng felt dizzy, and immediately used his inner energy to resist, and the wind blew under his feet and he quickly retreated.
The spider demon opened its mouth and sprayed out dozens of white threads, weaving into a spider web and covering its head.
Yuan Heng slashed several times, but the spider web was extremely tough, so he could only watch as he was wrapped in it. As for the other detectives, when they saw the ferocious appearance of the spider demon, they turned around and ran away without a trace.
Hiss!
The spider demon let out a cry of joy and dragged the spider web, intending to drag Yuan Heng to its lair to suck it.
At this time, a sword light passed through the roof and cut the spider demon into two pieces.
The tight spider web suddenly relaxed, Yuan Heng broke free from it, and bowed in the direction of Sword Qi.
"Yuan Heng Thank you, senior, for saving your life!"
An old voice came. "Your surname is Yuan? Do you know Yuan Family of Teng City?"
Yuan Heng replied, "Senior, I am the disciple of Yuan Family of Teng City."
Zhou Yi paused and asked, "Has the Yuan family been so lonely in just a few decades?"
The Yuan family had contributed to the founding of the country, and after Li Hong ascended the throne, he posthumously named Yuan Shun a marquis. No matter how bad his family members were, they would not become low-ranking subordinates in the yamen.
"Since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne and His Majesty has ascended the throne, the patriarch has respected the Grandpa's last words and reduced the Yuan family's power in Xuzhou and only managed his hometown in Tengcheng."
Yuan Heng said, "This junior is just a sideline concubine. If he can cultivate martial arts, he is already taken care of by the clan."
"I see, that's good."
Zhou Yi asked Yuan Shun for news about his descendants, and then left.
Yuan Heng After waiting for a long time, it was not until the patrol camp surrounded the courtyard that he was sure that the senior was really gone.
"Why is this different from the storybook?"
The spiritual energy in Xuzhou continues to rise, with Yunshan as the center. The closer the distance, the stronger the spiritual energy.
Heng City is the nearest city to the south of Yunshan, and it breeds many monsters and monsters. The people in the city were frightened three times a day. When they learned that nothing happened in other states, they fled Xuzhou with their families.
The newly born demons and ghosts are not very strong, and can be easily surrounded and killed by the patrolling army formations. However, some people who are interested take the opportunity to deceive the people into causing chaos.
The Li family lost their virtue and disaster came from heaven!
Fengyang Kingdom has been inherited for four hundred years, and Daqian was founded less than forty years ago, and there are still many die-hard loyalists from the previous dynasty.
When ordinary people are fearful and helpless, they are easily swept away by rumors and become rebels out of ignorance.
Within a few months, five or six rebel armies appeared in Xuzhou, and some even broke into the county seat and proclaimed themselves king.
End of the year.
The imperial court stationed 500,000 troops in Xuzhou to suppress the rebels and clean up the demons and monsters.
One year later.
patio.
Zhou Yi removed the formation to avoid attracting the attention of the court.
The concentration of spiritual energy within the range of Heng City is enough to retain it in the middle stage of Qi refining, so there is no need to worry about Mana escaping.
Fifty thousand elite soldiers are stationed in the city, patrolling day and night. If they find traces of demons, they go to encircle and suppress them. Evacuate the people first, then pour kerosene on them, set them on fire, and burn the ghost's nest to ashes.
Few demons can withstand the burning fire. Even if they can barely survive, they will be intercepted and killed by martial arts masters in the army.
As long as people don't stay away from towns and go to the mountains and forests to die, generally speaking, their lives are safe.
In those villages and towns scattered in every corner of Xuzhou, the people either moved to the city or resigned themselves to their fate. The imperial army was unable to take care of them.
"In just one year, the imperial court stabilized the situation in Xuzhou. I underestimated the adaptability of ordinary people."
Zhou Yi practiced in seclusion at Heng City. During this period, he watched soldiers eradicate demons from a distance several times. Only once did he encounter a century-old corpse that was slightly damaged. Other times, he killed the demons easily.
The century-old corpse was originally buried in the land of evil spirits. After being nourished by spiritual energy, it was born as an iron corpse, with strength comparable to the middle stage of Qi refining.
King Kong is indestructible and powerful. When he rushes into the military formation, it will be a bloody storm. Zhou Yi was about to attack the demon, but the military master urged Thunder Talisman to blast the old corpse into ashes.
"Top grade Thunder Talisman, I don't know if he recruited Rogue Cultivator or contacted Dan Ding Sect."
Zhou Yi did not explore it, but opened a small medicinal field in the courtyard and devoted himself to farming and cultivation.
The medicine field is only about ten feet in diameter, and there are more than a dozen ginseng plants growing in it. Some of the medicines are decades old, and the most are more than three hundred years old.
After one year of testing, Zhou Yi has a deeper understanding of Jade Dew Art.
"The so-called longevity-11 transformation only refers to medicines that are less than a hundred years old. After that, the transformation rate becomes lower and lower."
Zhou Yi originally planned to cultivate the thousand-year-old spirit medicine for consumption, but the result was quite unsatisfactory. In one year, only three hundred-year-old ginseng was cultivated.
"The impact of this matter on me is only limited by the Qi refining period. When it comes to Foundation Establishment and Golden Pill, it takes hundreds of years of life to cast Jade Dew Art each time. No matter how bad the conversion is, it can increase the medicine's age by several years."
"Secondly, it is also limited by Mana. The more Creation Jade Dew is integrated into longevity, the more Mana is consumed."
Zhou Yi After repeated tests, it was found that the spiritual energy absorbed by spiritual ginseng was not only the longevity energy, but also Mana was used to replace the growth spiritual energy and turned it into a part of the medicinal age.
"However, these restrictions are not a problem for me. Even if I only cast the spell once a day, it is just a matter of waiting a few more years. As long as the medicine is still growing, I can accept even a hundred thousand transformations!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi pulled out the root of Centennial ginseng from the medicinal field, cut it into thin slices and skewered it on the fire.
People's adaptability is really strong. In just one year, Zhou Yi has figured out seven or eight ginseng-eating dishes, such as the roasted ginseng slices with cumin in front of him.
"Alchemy must be put on the agenda. No matter how we change the tricks, who can eat carrots for decades!"
