Chapter 6 Guang Lai Cangzhou is unusual At Guanglai Inn in Cangzhou City, Chi Yanzi was treating Long Qi's injuries. The kick from the man in black was really fierce, and he kicked him so hard that his five internal organs were damaged and his ribs were fractured. He also had several external injuries and needed to recuperate for a while. Lingxiang's injury was not serious. Although her heart meridian was damaged, she had cultivated herself after all. After regulating her breathing for half a day, she was full of energy again. "If it weren't for Senior Chi Yanzi, I would have been lost by now. What a coincidence." "What a coincidence! I was waiting for you nearby on purpose." Chi Yanzi answered while applying medicine to Long Qi. "Wait for me? Why?" "That day, when you took the life-extending elixir, someone had evil intentions and looked strange. I happened to see them and guessed that something like this was going to happen. However, Qizhou City is the territory of the Supreme Sect, and those bad guys didn't dare to do anything. I guessed that they would commit crimes in the wild at the junction of the two cities. As expected, I managed to deal with a few of them, but I didn't expect that there would be some that slipped through the net." "Thank you very much for your kindness, senior." He then bowed to Chi Yanzi. "Hey~ Don't be like this." Chi Yanzi was treating Long Qi's external injuries and couldn't help him. "That day, you took my face into consideration and didn't offend the Supreme Sect. You were a big help. This little effort is not enough to repay you. How can it be called a great favor?" "Senior, you saved my life. How can you compare to the so-called face? You deserve my great thanks."
"It's all in the past, don't mention it again, but I have some doubts and I still want to ask you." "Senior, it doesn't matter." "That day, the kid Lu Ying was poisoned by a snake. I took his pulse and diagnosed his symptoms again and again. After confirming it was correct, I gave him a detoxifying pill. Why did such a situation happen?" Chi Yanzi looked at Lingxiang humbly. "Changyun Mountain is full of spiritual energy all year round. After such a long time, the poisonous evil things have some spirituality, and the toxicity has become more overbearing, so it cannot be eliminated by common sense. Moreover, Senior Brother Lu Ying's body has been poisoned for three days, and all five internal organs have been damaged. He can no longer bear the burden. Forcibly using internal force to catalyze the medicinal properties can neutralize the toxicity, but it will damage the internal organs, causing vomiting blood." Lingxiang took a sip of tea and continued, "That's why I didn't catalyze the Life-Sustaining Pill at that time. No matter what kind of medicine it is, when a person takes it, it will put a burden on the five internal organs. The Life-Sustaining Pill is holding on for a while, and the silver needles are used to help it open up the meridians. If it breaks through, the body can be rebuilt. Although it's a risky move, there is no other way. It's also because Senior Brother Lu Ying's fate is not to die, and he will have a great responsibility in the future." "You are so thoughtful and meticulous. Your potential is limitless!" Chi Yanzi couldn't help but praise after careful consideration. "Senior, you don't know the cause. If you knew, you would be much more appropriate than me." Although Long Qi was injured in bed, he was conscious. After listening for a long time, he had some ideas in mind. Before, I was only concerned with finding a shop to heal my wounds and didn't care about anything else. Today I discovered that there are very few women on the streets of Cangzhou. They are either elderly or those with buns, but I have never seen a young woman. Although ladies from wealthy families rarely go out, girls from ordinary families should be seen more or less. There must be a demon in the abnormal situation. "Hey~ Let me tell you, the Liu family's daughter was also lost last night!" "Are you talking about the daughter of Liu Xian, the governor of Cangzhou?" "That's right. The governor has three sons and only this one daughter. She is very precious and was engaged not long ago! It is said that she was still talking and laughing yesterday, but this morning when the maidservant came to help her wash and dress, she disappeared without a trace." "Don't let your stubborn temper come out and hide away." "Hey! It is said that the mansion has been turned upside down! Now several young masters are searching everywhere in and outside the city!" "I'm afraid she was captured by the monster. Where can I find her now? Fortunately, my sister Lan got married last year! How is your girl?" "Oh! That's right! I have to marry Xiaorou quickly!" ……
After recuperating for a few days and taking some medicinal pills, Long Qi's injuries were finally 70% healed. Today, the three of them were having dinner downstairs when they heard this conversation. Long Qi immediately became interested and called the waiter to ask about it. It turned out that many young women had disappeared for no reason in the past two months. The governor had people investigate for several months, but they could not find any clues, which was very strange. "I just said that I felt strange when I went out on the street yesterday. So this is the case." Lingxiang swallowed a piece of snow bamboo shoots whole. "I've heard that there are some evil Taoist priests who don't practice the great way, but instead believe in the method of taking yin to replenish yang. Could it be that all these girls have fallen victim to this evil deeds?" Long Qi leaned towards Lingxiang and said. "Such scum is truly despicable. If this is true, they should be purged!" Chi Yanzi said indignantly. "Senior, you want to get involved in this kind of thing?" Lingxiang poked Long Qi away with the end of her chopsticks. "I am a wanderer, and everything I encounter is for cultivation. Moreover, if it is really done by the evil ways, it is our job as cultivators to clean up such dregs." "Hmm... what the senior said is not bad, but I have no clue. I don't know if the troublemaker is a human, a ghost, a demon or a monster. Where should I start?" "Of course, I will visit and ask questions to collect details." "Alas~ Why do I always encounter such embarrassing things?" Lingxiang picked up another piece of snow bamboo shoots helplessly. On that day, the three were out collecting evidence, but they all found nothing. The next day, just as Long Qi was about to ask the waiter to bring him a pot of hot tea, he heard someone downstairs talking about the missing girl. "Hey! Let me tell you, Old Feng's daughter was also missing last night!" "Didn't he say yesterday that he wanted to marry off his beautiful daughter?" "Who said it wasn't true? After having dinner with me yesterday, she went back and arranged a marriage between her daughter Xiaorou and Zhang Shusheng from the south city. Who would have known... Alas..." "I also heard that the third son of the governor's family is also missing. Could it be that the villains are also interested in this man?" "Oh! Then wouldn't it be dangerous for me to be on duty all year round?" "Don't worry about whether the bad guy is a good man or not. Just your appearance will make people dispel all evil thoughts. Besides, the third young master is a virgin. Even if you are thrown into a brothel with a lot of money, there may not be a girl to serve you." "Hahahaha!" …… After hearing this, Long Qi did not even order tea, but hurried to find Lingxiang Chi Yanzi to tell him. That night, the three of them visited the residence of the Governor of Cangzhou. Not long after the visiting card was delivered, they saw a middle-aged man coming towards them. It was the Governor Liu Xian who came to greet them personally. "Master! Please save my family!" When Lord Liu arrived, without even waiting for the greetings to be exchanged, he held Chi Yanzi's hand tightly, as if he was holding a life-saving straw. Long Qi Lingxiang was just surprised when she saw Lord Liu leading Chi Yanzi hurriedly walking into the mansion. It turned out that the third son of the Liu family was the youngest son of Lord Liu and his wife. They had a son when they were old. Although Lord Liu usually did not show any affection, he really loved him very much in his heart. When Mrs. Liu gave birth to this boy, she had a difficult delivery and the midwife and the doctors were all helpless. Fortunately, Chi Yanzi's skillful acupuncture saved mother and child. Therefore, everyone in the Liu family was very grateful to him. Now all the young ladies and boys of the Liu family are missing. Mrs. Liu became so anxious that her old illness relapsed and she fainted. The Liu family was in chaos.
