With the space bag, the snake demon meat that was originally meant to be discarded has a place to go.
It's like a monster eating a monk's flesh and blood.
Monks eating monster flesh and blood are also very nourishing.
Not only can it promote cultivation, but it can also increase physical strength.
Hou Jiuming would naturally not throw away such a good thing.
It took more than an hour to put everything except the snake demon's internal organs into the storage bag, then looked around to make sure nothing was left behind, then turned around and ran towards the way he came from.
This time, although I didn't get any secrets or other techniques.
But the harvest is also very rich.
I believe it will not be a problem to digest these gains and enter the later stage of Qi training.
I was in a hurry all the way, except for digging for medicinal materials marked on the way, almost non-stop.
In such a hurry, it only took less than three days to leave the Luoyue Mountains.
…………
The sunset fills the sky, spreading over the entire Luoyue Town.
Hou Jiuming welcomed the glow and stepped into the town.
In the past, this was the time when the Orion medicine farmers returned from the mountains and Luoyue Town was prosperous.
But today it's different.
There are few pedestrians on the street, and even if there are any, they are in a hurry.
The Orion drug farmer was nowhere to be seen.
Everyone I met had an anxious look on their face, as if they were worried about something.
"What happened in Luoyue Town during my absence these days?"
With doubts, Hou Jiuming quickly returned to Sihai Medicine Store.
The pharmacy was closed at this time.
Entering through the back door, Zhuzi was sitting in the yard, looking at the door in a daze.
After seeing Hou Jiuming, he immediately greeted him happily.
"Shopkeeper, you are finally back."
After closing the door, Hou Jiuming asked: "What's wrong? What happened in the town?"
"Shopkeeper, people are dying in this town, and they are killing one family after another!" Zhu Zhu whispered in a panic.
"What?" Hou Jiuming frowned, "How did each family die?"
"Is the whole family from the oldest to the youngest dead?" Zhu Zhu repeated.
Hou Jiuming was speechless, "I'm asking you, were they killed, poisoned, or something else?"
"Oh~oh~" Zhuzi suddenly realized, "I don't know the details, but I heard that they were not injured, but all their blood flowed close to them and died. It seemed that they died from ghosts..."
When he said the last two words, Zhuzi lowered his voice unconsciously.
"Ghost?"
"Yes!"
After Hou Jiuming got the answer, he sent the pillar to boil water, and then returned to the house to start thinking.
Hou Jiuming has no doubts about ghosts and ghosts, after all, he has experienced them personally.
But generally those who encounter ghosts are in remote villages.
A place with few people.
But now, Luoyue Town, a town with hundreds of households, is actually haunted by ghosts.
"unusual!"
After putting away his thoughts, he planned to go out to inquire about the news and see what was going on.
After boiling the water in the pillar, Hou Jiuming hurriedly washed up and went out dressed neatly.
When inquiring about news, it is natural to go to a crowded place.
Although the atmosphere in the town is weird now.
However, some high-traffic areas of the restaurant are still open for business.
Hou Jiuming walked along the main street and entered a restaurant with the most customers.
After ordering a sumptuous meal, I began to pay attention to the chatter of the people around me.
"How did Chunfenglou's bonus taste last night..."
After only hearing the beginning, Hou Jiuming smiled and changed his attention.
"Qian Mansion is dead, have you found any clues?"
"Let's just check it out. It's just a bunch of drunkards. If we could find out, would we still be so worried?"
"Hey, it seems that we need to make plans early!"
"Yeah, if it was an ordinary vendetta, the most we could do is hire some guards, but now, it's obviously the work of a ghost."
"I heard that it has been reported to Solid Stone City, and warriors will be sent there. I wonder if it can be solved?"
"Don't think about it, Solid Rock City can't spare any manpower now!"
"Why?"
"Do you think we are the only ones in Luoyue Town who are in trouble?"
"Is not it?"
"What is it? Now, almost all the towns under the jurisdiction of Solid Stone City are caused by ghosts. Our Luoyue Town is still good. Only six families have died so far.
In other towns, I heard, there were whole towns being killed."
"Hiss~"
"Hiss~"
Everyone in the restaurant seemed to be eating, drinking and chatting, but in fact they were all trying to get information.
Now that I heard this, there was an immediate gasp.
"What's going on? Why are there so many ghosts and the court doesn't care about them?"
"How does the imperial court take care of it? Qianyu Nation's Chen Bing border may be attacked at any time. The imperial court can't even deal with Qianyu Nation. How will it care about the little haunted things that happen in Jianshi City?"
"Hey, is this going to be a war?"
"Hey, troubled times are coming!"
Hou Jiuming was eating his food, paying attention to the chatter of the people in the restaurant, and thinking in his heart.
The Qianyu Kingdom sent troops to shake the Yue Kingdom and prepare for war.
Troubles arose in Solid Rock City.
First, the relief food was robbed, and then ghosts took the opportunity to cause trouble.
"How do you think this looks like a sign of impending chaos?"
Behind the Yue Kingdom is the Wang Family, a family that cultivates immortals. Ghosts and monsters generally do not appear to cause trouble, and even if they do, they will be quickly eliminated.
Nowadays, there are so many ghosts causing trouble near a city, it is not simple no matter how you look at it.
"Forget it, it's none of my business, I don't have to worry about it. Now that there are abundant resources, it's better to improve our strength first. As long as we have strength, we can still stay on the fishing boat no matter how chaotic it is!"
…………
After returning from the restaurant, Hou Jiuming entered a state of seclusion.
The medicine store is still looked after by Zhu Zhu, and the precious medicinal materials purchased are kept for his own use.
What is commonly used is to store them for purchase by merchants from other cities.
I don’t know if this is the reason for the tense relationship between Qianyu Kingdom and Hanyue Kingdom.
The price of medicinal materials has soared.
Hou Jiuming stored the medicinal materials for more than two months and not only recovered the cost of opening the store, but also made a lot of money.
With enough money, Hou Jiuming began to practice with great concentration, taking Wuling Pills while making them.
Cultivation also changes day by day.
Within half a month, I broke through the third level barrier and entered the fourth level, the middle stage of Qi training.
Not only that, with the dual assistance of a large amount of Wuling Pills and snake meat, Crouching Tiger Strength was also quickly raised to the peak of the day after tomorrow.
Innate, so close!
The blood jade fruit trees that were moved back from the Luoyue Mountains have also regained their vitality.
Judging from the aroma and hazy color, it is not far from maturity.
I believe that when I mature, my cultivation level will rise again.
In addition, within the past half month, another murder occurred in Luoyue Town.
The same family died.
However, what is strange is that from the beginning to now, all the people who have died are from wealthy families, and not a single poor person has died.
Don't know why this is.
People in the town speculated.
The poor are too poor and have a strong aura of hostility, and ghosts generally do not want to be provoked.
After all, the poor only have one life left, so what are they afraid of?
