Alchemist Wenzhong looked proud, stood in front of the townspeople, puffed up his chest and said: "Mr. Medical Officer, I advise you not to touch that well, otherwise you will also be affected by resentment."
The medical officer shook his head helplessly and said: "This disease is indeed very rare. Although it is not recorded in the medical books, there is no way to guarantee that it is a new disease. How can I confirm the symptoms and prescribe the right medicine if you are blocking me like this?"
"You doctors know how to give people those bitter and useless medicinal soups. Half a month ago, my son got sick. It would have been better if he didn't take the soup and medicine from the quack doctor, but if he did, he died that night!" A young town citizen cried loudly.
Wen Zhong said: "Mr. Medical Officer, since you and I have different opinions, why don't we make a bet and cast a talisman to suppress evil spirits. If it works, it will be an evil spirit curse. If it doesn't work, then let's let it go. It’s up to you to heal.”
The medical officer was doubtful, but he still nodded, "If you can cure them, I'm willing to bet with you."
"Okay! If I can dispel the resentment, you and the people in the court will withdraw. If I can't cure it, I will leave by myself. I will never interfere in the affairs here again, and I will give all my money to these people. How about that? ?”
The two nodded, walked closer, raised their hands and gave each other a high five, making an agreement.
Seeing them high-fiving, Song Xin felt something bad. Some villagers had already said that they were cured by Fu Shui. This bet would definitely be lost.
Wen Zhong came to the well and ordered everyone to disperse, while he swam and jumped around the well, like a frog, gurgling something unknown. Then he took out another yellow talisman, held it in his hand and muttered something, and then suddenly threw it into the air. A mahogany sword suddenly shot out of his sleeve and pierced the yellow talisman in the air. Everyone couldn't help but scream when they saw this scene. But what surprised them even more was yet to come. The moment the peach wood sword struck the yellow talisman, the paper talisman actually burned.
Song Xin watched his performance with great interest and smiled secretly in his heart: "Isn't this white phosphorus..."
Under the gaze of everyone, Wen Zhong stretched out his hand to copy the burning talisman, and opened his other hand at the mouth of the well. A bowl of water flew out of the well and landed steadily in his palm. Then he threw the ash into the bowl and stirred it up with his fingers. Song Xin folded his arms and smiled secretly, "It seems that there is a dance master in the countryside at this time. Drinking paper ash mixed with white phosphorus will not only cause diarrhea, but the disease will be cured."
Then Wen Zhong called a town citizen with red spots on his face in front of him and handed him the water, "Drink it, and your red spots will definitely disappear within ten breaths."
The townspeople looked at the bowl of paper ashes, swallowed in embarrassment, twitched the corners of their mouths, and drank with their eyes closed.
After a while, under the surprised gazes of everyone, the red spots on his face obviously began to fade, and finally disappeared!
Song Xin was also dumbfounded, "Damn, what's going on?"
When he was in a daze, a voice behind him whispered: "It's a small trick."
Song Xin turned around and saw that it was Song Wan.
Song Xin had been looking at Wenzhong and didn't even notice when this woman came behind him.
"What did you say? What a little trick?" Song Xin asked.
Song Wan looked at it with a playful smile, but said nothing. At this time, Wen Zhong proudly walked up to the medical officer and said: "How is it, sir? As soon as my evil-suppressing talisman comes out, the disease can be cured. Are you telling the truth?"
"Is... is it really the bad luck brought by the ancestors?" The medical officer was also a little shaken, and the doctors from the National Medical Administration behind him also looked at each other and were speechless.
Wen Zhong asked: "Sir, does our bet still count?"
"Of course it counts, I'll quit now." The medical officer said helplessly. The other party cured a patient with just one talisman, but I haven't even noticed any symptoms yet.
Not everyone in the town believed in Alchemist Wenzhong. The young scholar still wanted to persuade him to stay, "Sir, are you leaving like this?"
The medical officer said helplessly: "I have limited knowledge and knowledge, and I still can't determine the disease. There is really nothing I can do." He shook his head and walked to the car of the National Medical Administration.

Got in. Watching the cart slowly leave, the townspeople who originally supported the medical officer and the young scholar also looked helpless.
When Wen Zhong saw that everyone from the National Medical Office had left, he said loudly: "To be honest, the resentful spirits of your ancestors are very powerful, and the Fu Shui just now can only suppress them for a while."
"Ah!?" The hopes originally raised by the townspeople were like being poured a basin of ice water on them, and the atmosphere instantly cooled down.
At this time, Wen Zhong changed the topic and said: "However, you don't have to worry. Now that I know the reason, I will do my best to help everyone get rid of their resentment."
The mood of the townspeople was ups and downs like a roller coaster. Many patients knelt down and said: "Please save us from the gods, please save us from the gods."
The people in front of Song Xin also knelt down and begged, which actually exposed the originally inconspicuous Song Xin and Song Wan. It happened that Wen Zhong turned his head and saw them.
"Who are you? Are you from the National Medical Administration?"
Song Xin was about to answer when a tall man behind him tugged his sleeve down. Song Xin turned around and saw that it was someone he didn't know. But the other party obviously has something to say, but it's just not convenient to say it now. Song Xin quickly knelt down and pretended.
Then the man said loudly: "Reply to the gods, he is not from the National Medical Administration, he is a part-time worker in my family."
Wen Zhong nodded, looked at Song Wan who was still standing aside, and asked: "Girl, do you have any doubts? I will help the villagers here, so I won't bother you, girl." Wen Zhong said coldly. He said as if he was afraid of being robbed of his business.
Song Wan smiled lightly, "I am Uncle Chen's distant relative.
, originally came to visit relatives. "
The middle-aged man with a mustache next to Wenzhong also hurriedly said: "Yes, God, she is indeed a relative of mine."
Wen Zhong nodded and said: "Well, the resentment here is very dangerous. Since you are a member of the Chen family, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave. Just stay at home and let me get rid of the resentment and ensure that nothing happens to you."
"Today, it takes too much to pray to God. I need to rest for a night. I will do it again tomorrow to help everyone get rid of their resentment."
"Let the gods drive you." Everyone said respectfully in unison.
After the crowd dispersed, Song Xin came to a secluded place, where the tall man was waiting.
"Who's here?" Song Xin asked, staring at him.
The man didn't say anything, but took out a waist badge that was half the size of a palm. Song Xin's brows instantly raised, "Are you? School official?"
The man nodded, "I am Tang Yao, a subordinate of Master Zhao Da. When Master Song captured Lu Junqin in Jingzhou, I met you from a distance."
"I see, are you also here to investigate?" Song Xin asked.
"Exactly, Mr. Zhao suspects that Wen Zhong is related to the Three Saints Sect. Let us seize the opportunity to capture him and bring him back for interrogation."
Song Xin frowned and said, "I'm afraid this will be difficult. Look at the townspeople who have no doubts about him."
Tang Yao said: "Well, the villain and other school officials originally wanted to take action, but seeing that the situation was not good for me, they gave up the idea of capturing him."
"Are there any other school officials here?"
"Well, they're all secretly checking around the town."
Song Xin nodded, feeling that this man was cautious and thoughtful, and he was indeed taught by Zhao Da. "Well, if it hadn't been for you today, I would have been targeted. I'll check again alone. I think the problem lies in that well."
...
In the evening, the Chen family held a banquet in honor of Wen Zhong. During the banquet, they prepared gold and silver utensils, silk and copper coins as offerings to him, and arranged for two beautiful maidservants to serve him. Wen Zhong had obviously never seen this gentle village. He was so drunk that he couldn't wait to hug the two maids and talk about it when he returned to the house.
When Song Xin saw that everyone was sleeping, he quietly came to the well. He felt that it was suspicious that Wen Zhong prevented the medical officer from inspecting the well today.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Suddenly, he felt someone's footsteps approaching not far behind him. After hiding in the dark, he discovered that it was Song Wan.
I saw her calmly walking to the well, shaking a bucket of water with a pot, then taking out a few silver needles and putting them into the water.
"She and I wanted to go together." Then Song Xin walked out of the darkness.
Seeing someone coming out of the darkness, Song Wan was not surprised at all. She smiled lightly and said, "It's you."
Song Xin didn't say much, walked to the well and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the water?"
Song Wan handed over a silver needle, and Song Xin saw that the needles were all black.
"Is this water poisonous?"
Song Wan said: "I'm afraid all of this is a trap set up by Wen Zhong to defraud people of their money."
"How did he know that a well was going to be dug here and bury the coffin in advance?"
Song Wan guessed: "There is nothing strange about this. He is an alchemist. He must often wander around here. He knows exactly what happened to each family. As for the copper coffin, it should be dug out by the common people accidentally."
Song Xin thought it made some sense, and asked: "What are you going to do now, to expose him? I'm afraid the people won't believe you. When the time comes, you won't be able to tell if he beats you again. And what kind of poison is this to you?" do you know?"
Song Wan said: "You have so many questions. I have already checked. There is a unique arsenic vein underneath the well. This ore is ground into powder and can cure diseases and save lives. However, if the amount is too large, it will poison people."
Song Xin frowned, "Arsenic? It's medicinal, could it be arsenic?" Suddenly he thought of the symptoms of the townspeople. They were covered in red rashes and phosphorus flakes, and their hair fell off. This was a typical symptom of chronic arsenic poisoning!
Seeing the surprised look on Song Xin's face, Song Wan thought he didn't understand, so she explained: "We shouldn't have dug a well here. Now the well water is contaminated by poisonous mines, and you will definitely be poisoned if you drink it. Please help me look here. Wait, I'll go down and take a look."
"You want to go down the well?" Song Xin asked.
"I have to go down tonight and seal the vein to prevent it from contaminating the underground water veins here. By then, this town will really be uninhabitable."
Suddenly he thought that Song Wan was a practitioner and admired Song Wan's kindness, so he said, "There is poisonous water down here, aren't you afraid?"
"Don't worry, I'm not afraid."
"Then I'll go down with you."
"you?"
Song Xin smiled faintly, slightly released the hidden energy of the Nine Ghosts, and suppressed his own cultivation to the first level of alchemist. He had already found out that the other party's cultivation was about the third level of alchemist. Song Wan was surprised and asked: "Are you also a practitioner?"
"Yes, my cultivation is shallow, but I am willing to do my part."
Song Wan showed a smile and said, "Since we are of the same mind, there is nothing more to say. Let's go down together. Can you know how to escape?"
Song Xin shook his head.
"Put this talisman on your body and follow me down."
The two of them jumped down from the well mouth one after another and fell into the well water with two splashes. Song Xin followed Song Wan and sank to the bottom of the well. After a while, his feet touched the ground. At this time, Song Wan pulled Song Xin's With his arm, he pointed to a deep hole under the water.
Song Xin nodded and followed her in. The two swam for about a quarter of an hour. The water gradually became shallower and they soon stood up from the water. In order not to expose his cultivation, Song Xin held his breath and swam in. His body was already soaked. Song Wan was not much better, her clothes were soaked and clung to her body, which highlighted her exquisite figure. However, she didn't seem to care about Song Xin's gaze, and instead smiled lightly.
Song Xin felt something was wrong and withdrew his consciousness. Fortunately, it was pitch dark here. The two used magic to dry the clothes. Song Wan took out a luminous pearl and illuminated the cave. Under the light of the night pearl, the entire cave situation can be seen at a glance.
"It turns out that she can't use her spiritual consciousness, so she prepared a lighting treasure."
