I'm looking for longevity in Liaozhai

Chapter 5

"Where's the monster?" Hou Zhu came back to his senses and looked around, only to find that the monster was gone.

"Don't stay here, hurry up, maybe that monster will come back again!" He hurriedly dragged Wang Zhe away.

The two of them went up the mountain, and on the other side of the mountain, they saw three catchers lying on the ground and howling. They were scratched by the monster just now, and the wounds had turned blue and black.

In this situation, the search for "tomb robbers" on the mountain must not continue. Several people hurriedly carried the injured down the mountain and returned to the village.

"Waste, a bunch of useless waste!"

The tomb robber was not caught, and several arresters were injured, and the annoyed county lieutenant yelled at them.

Qi returns to Qi, and people can't just leave it alone, they immediately sent the injured policeman back to the city to find a doctor for treatment.

When they returned to Guobei County, those few people had not only wounds, but a large area of ​​skin near the wounds had turned pitch black, the blood that flowed out was black, and their faces were also an ominous blue.

Wang Zhe secretly looked at the three people with the "Qi Wang Technique", and saw that the wisp of white air above their heads had completely turned gray, which was different from the gray spots that Laohou had when he was sick.

He immediately realized that these people's lives might be in danger.

The doctor looked at their wounds, his face became serious, and he hurriedly asked how they were injured.

When he heard Wang Zhe describe the appearance of the "ghost-faced badger", he frowned, sighed, and shook his head.

"Hey, I can't heal their injuries. According to what the catcher said, what you encountered should be the "ghost-faced badger" that lives in the mountains and feeds on corpses in the tombs.

It devours the body for a long time, and the body produces corpse poison. To detoxify this poison, it has to be ground into powder with its teeth. "

"Now I can only mix some medicinal materials to delay the onset of toxicity as much as possible. As for how long it can last, it depends on their nature." The doctor said.

When sending the three arresters home, their family members were very worried about their appearance, and even cried on the spot.

People are fine when they go out, but why are they like this when they come back?

"Fortunately, you pushed me, otherwise I would have to be like them!" Lao Hou said with emotion.

"Azhe, how do you think you can catch that monster?"

"What, you want to save someone? When you saw that monster in the mountain village, you were so frightened that your legs went limp!"

"I was unprepared for a while, and the monster is indeed scary. When I saw its appearance, my head buzzed. Hey, don't you feel that way?"

"No, isn't it just a badger? It's just a bit shabby!" Wang Zhe shook his head.

He wasn't really scared at the time, he drew his sword almost subconsciously, and after a long period of practice, it became instinctive, and then he was killed with a single blow.

"Colleagues for so many years, we can't just ignore death, can we?" Lao Hou said.

After all, it is a colleague who has been with him for two years, and he still has some feelings.

"How about we go to that mountain village and ask the villagers?" Wang Zhe said.

He knew that the "ghost-faced badger" had been killed, and the body should still be in the forest, so he just went to retrieve it now.

"Okay, let's go." The two went back to the Yamen and went to the mountain village.

After all this tossing, it was already afternoon when the two arrived at the mountain village.

"The monster that eats the corpse, you should be talking about the ghost-faced badger." Hearing what the two said, the villager seemed to remember something terrible, with a frightened look on his face.

"That is a monster that feeds on corpses. It not only eats corpses, but also eats people. It is said that it is as fast as a gust of wind in the mountains and forests, and looks like a ghost. When you see it, you will be frightened out of your soul, caught or killed. If you bite it, you will be covered in black and black, and your seven orifices will bleed to death."

"Yes, yes, yes, that's it!" Old Hou nodded his head.

"It sounds so scary. Why did he die with one stab? Could it be that the one I killed was only a minor?" Wang Zhe was a little puzzled.

"Then how do you catch it?"

After hearing Lao Hou's intentions, Li Zheng said that he would ask the villagers to help.

After all, they are also afraid of such a monster on the mountain. Over the years, several people have disappeared inexplicably on the mountain. They didn't see anyone alive or dead. They thought they were eaten by wolves.

"Ghost-faced badgers are afraid of fire and sunlight, and use ancient tombs as their lairs."

They discussed it and went to the mountain to have a look while it was still dark. Lizheng found a few strong men to follow them, holding torches and sticks in their hands.

After going up the mountain, Wang Zhe followed the bloodstains in the weeds in the mountain and quickly found the body of the "ghost-faced badger".

It's just that the corpse is already mutilated, and the flesh and blood on the body have been eaten away by something.

"This, this is what happened?" Lao Hou was stunned when he saw this!
Wang Zhe hurriedly used the "Watching Qi Technique" to look at the cave in the forest, and saw that the black air coming out of it was thicker than what he saw before he left.

"What the hell is in there?"

"Well, what's the matter with these people?" He caught a glimpse of the faint blood between the eyebrows of the people who went up the mountain with them, and the white air above their heads was also bloody.

"Anyway, they are saved, let's go back quickly?" Lao Hou said.

He just felt that the forest was gloomy and hairy, and he didn't want to stay here for a moment.

Back in the mountain village, Wang Zhe found that there were other people in the village with blood on their heads, which was not a good sign.

He inquired around, and found that those people were not from the same family.

"Could it be that something is going to happen to this mountain village? Plague, earthquake, or banditry, or is it related to the black air he saw in the back mountain?" Wang Zhe thought of the black air he saw in the cave behind the mountain.

Wang Zhe couldn't be sure, but he still found Lizheng in the village and reminded him.Remind him to be more vigilant recently, and report suspicious things to the police in time.

"Hasn't the tomb-robbing beast already been caught?" Li Zheng was puzzled after hearing Wang Zhe's words.

"There may not be only one of that kind of monster in the mountain, there may be other things in the mountain."

Then the two returned to the county town with the mutilated body of the "ghost-faced badger".

They first went to the doctor, took out the teeth of the "ghost-faced badger" and ground them into powder. They went to the policeman's house closest to the medical center and gave him warm water to drink.

After a while, the policeman began to vomit, and the vomit was so foul-smelling that the whole room was filled with a pungent smell.

After about an incense stick of effort, Wang Zhe saw that most of the ominous blue and black on his face had dissipated by using the "Looking Qi Technique", and it seemed that there was no danger of his life.Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the doctor's method is really useful!"
