Time passed quietly, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.
Huai County, which was originally in panic, finally regained its former vitality after the Huang Mansion case and the tragic death of Magistrate Zeng were solved.
There were people coming and going on the street, and it was very lively.
A large number of caravans came and went.
The most important locust wood business in Huai County has been stagnant for a while. A large amount of wood is piled up in the warehouse and needs to be shipped quickly.
The shops on both sides of the street have finally opened for business and are working hard to attract business.
Especially those beautiful women standing in the brothel, it can be said that the spring scene is infinitely beautiful.
Seeing below, Taoist Wu Liang's eyes were shining and his mouth was watering.
"Wu Liang, as a Taoist priest, can't you be more careful?" Zhou You complained as he walked behind.
In the past three days, he had become familiar with the fat Taoist priest, and his conversation became more casual.
"Zhou You, Taoist Master, I am a Taoist priest. I am not a monk who abandons all emotions and desires. Let alone marrying and having children, it is no problem." Wu Liang sneered, as if he was mocking Zhou You's ignorance.
"I don't think I have much to gain today. Let's go back to the county office first..."
Zhou You didn't bother to argue with this fat guy.
The fat Taoist priest complained: "I should have gone back a long time ago. I have been walking for a long time and my stomach is full of hunger."
As soon as the two of them walked back to the county government office, a government servant came to greet them and handed them a letter with beeswax on it.
"Master Zhou, this is your letter."
After Zhou You took it, he nodded and said, "Thank you very much."
The Yamen servant resigned.
Wu Liang looked at the letter and looked a little curious.
However, Zhou You obviously didn't want to satisfy his curiosity, so he put it away and said calmly: "Are you very hungry? Why don't you go to the cafeteria to eat?"
"Tch~ I don't care about it, Mr. Dao." Wu Liang smiled disdainfully, hummed a tune and went to the cafeteria to eat.
Zhou You came to a room in the county government office and took out the letter.
After confirming that the beeswax has not been tampered with, open it.
This is the reply from the Demon Slayer.
The text above is messy and mixed with some unfamiliar fonts. I'm afraid that when ordinary people see it, it will feel like they are reading a book from heaven.
This is a unique encryption method of the Demon Slayer, and only the Demon Slayer can see it clearly.
After arranging these words in a very special way, the real content emerged in Zhou You's mind.
Three days ago, he sent a total of two letters.
One letter stated that the evil cultivator who killed Magistrate Zeng still had accomplices and hoped to continue the investigation.
The second letter was to report the astonishing discovery after killing the black snake demon that day.
Five days later, I finally received a formal reply from the Demon Slayer Department.
In fact, the content of the letter is also very simple. It means that Zhou You will continue to investigate, especially the reason for the appearance of the black snake demon. However, because the Demon Slayer Department currently has no manpower and cannot send anyone to support him, I hope he will pay attention to his own safety.
The person who signed the payment was Yi Cantian.
Regarding this, Zhou You didn't have the slightest surprise on his face.
Originally, this mission was due to lack of manpower, so the fragile genius specially came to ask him to take over.
laugh!
Influx of Nine Yang inner energy.
The letter slowly burned to ashes.
There is also an iron basin in this room with a piece of dark wood inside.
This is a ten-year-old locust tree with a very strong Yin energy.
The blazing Nine Yang inner energy ignited it.
Soon a flame was burning.
The flame looked a little strange, the temperature was not high, and it was not the usual red color, but a wisp of blue flame.
Zhou You also specifically asked Taoist Wu Liang, and he said that the yin energy in the locust tree burned and turned into yin fire.
Generally speaking it is of no use.
In fact, Zhou You originally just wanted to find a few pieces of wood to make a fire for Chiji Fire Mask.
After hearing what Taoist Wu Liang said, he absorbed this ray of Yin Fire curiously to see how the Chiji Fire Shield would react.
"The Chiji Fire Mask swallowed up a ray of locust fire, which means that I can finally change my taste. The speed of cultivation has increased by 35%."
When he heard the news, Zhou You was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the Chiji Fire Mask actually liked the yin fire caused by the burning locust tree.
And after five days of absorption, Zhou You discovered that even if there was no martial arts breakthrough, some strange changes had occurred in his body.
His skin has become more flexible, allowing him to perform many anti-joint movements, while his flesh and blood has also become more elastic, and the vitality of his internal organs has been significantly improved.
Zhou You guessed that these changes should be related to the Yin Fire absorbed these days.
It seems that the martial art of Chiji Fire Shield will also produce various effects due to the difference in its absorption of flames.
Open the system panel.

There is no suspense, the fastest improvement is the Demon-Sealing Sword Sutra.
This guy continuously absorbed the negative energy from evil cultivators and black snake demons, and his cultivation skyrocketed like a rocket.
Zhou You can also clearly feel that the demonic thoughts in his heart are constantly growing.
But in front of his own will, he still seems too weak and has no resistance at all.
This evil thought also knows what is interesting and hides honestly in the depths of the soul.
Just like a poisonous snake, it hides in the grass and hides itself as much as possible. Only when the time is right, will it reveal its extremely sharp fangs.
But Zhou You had a tiger in his heart and did not take this insidious and cunning snake into his eyes.
If one day this poisonous snake wants to bite him, he will tear it into pieces without mercy.
Put away the system's face and absorb the fire of the locust tree.
His fingers tapped lightly on the table.
A few days ago, he asked Pang Captou to reveal at Caishikou that the real culprit in Zeng County Magistrate's case was beheaded by him on Fulu Street, just to lure the evil cultivator brother to appear and come to take revenge on him.
But five days have passed, and the evil cultivator has not appeared.
There may be many reasons.
Maybe this evil cultivator doesn't exist, maybe he ran away...
But Zhou You had a vague feeling in his heart that this guy was plotting something, and he had no time to seek revenge on him for the time being.
If this is the case, then the situation is a bit dangerous.
This guy is a time bomb, there is no way of knowing when it will explode.
As for the black snake demon that appeared strangely, he took Taoist Wu Liang to investigate it in the past few days, but he still didn't get any effective clues.
Why this monster appeared in Huai County is still a huge mystery.
Of course, there are still many mysteries in Huai County.
Zhou You is sure that there must be something in Huai County that attracts these ghosts and monsters.
But he hasn't found the answer these days.
In short, these five days.
Traveling around can only be described in four words.
