Chapter 293: The King of Medicine Tastes Hundreds of Herbs

"Change the environment and let the water ghost jump out by itself..."

Wu Xian's eyes sparkled. Jian Lingyu's words were like enlightenment to him, and he immediately found a way to break the impasse.

"Yes, this is a good idea!"

"There is filth everywhere in Wuzang Village. Some old people even eat and defecate in their own homes. We just need to clean the toilets and all the rooms, get a few buckets of filth and pour them into the well. The evil spirit will definitely not be able to bear it and jump out of the well."

He finished.

Everyone was suddenly silent.

They first thought this method was outrageous, but after thinking about it carefully, it was strangely very reliable. As long as they could overcome this hurdle in their hearts, they could easily capture the water ghost.

Jian Lingyu's smile froze, and she pressed her hat down awkwardly: "Um... um... what I mean by changing the environment is to poison the well."

She told about the poisoning.

The atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed and cheerful.

Li Juxian also breathed a sigh of relief. If he had a choice, he really didn't want to use his fishing rod to poke shit.

Du E walked away from Wu Xian with disgust, and Wen Chao looked at her meaningfully.

Wu Xian's face turned slightly red.

He kept cursing Shi Ji in his heart. Just because he had been through two blessed places with this guy, his personality had been polluted by him.

……

After the meeting.

Everyone started to get busy.

From yesterday's experience, everyone knew that it was difficult to find statues and incense sticks during the day, so they didn't bother with this today.

First, I used the leftover pork from yesterday to make a big pot of pork soup, which served as today's breakfast.

Then everyone spent two hours together to thoroughly clean up Wuzang Village. They cleaned up several buckets of filth that had accumulated over a long period of time from the elderly.

This is not about pouring into the well.

It's just to improve the living environment.

On the way to clean up.

Wei Hengbo once suggested that we should ignore these old men and women and let them fend for themselves.

Information about correct funerals can only be obtained through burying the dead. Improving the living conditions of the old men can only delay their death, which is of no benefit to everyone. On the contrary, letting them die faster will maximize benefits.

As soon as this suggestion was made, it was rejected by everyone.

There may be someone among the crowd who is tempted.

But on the surface, no one wants to be the bad guy.

As for Wu Xian.

He simply thought that sending these old people away safely might bring him greater benefits...

After cleaning, everyone went about their own business.

The Wei brothers and sisters still went hunting.

Wen Chao took the white-collar sisters and a dog to search for useful plants. After Jian Lingyu's teaching, their goal today was much clearer.

Su Xuan found a secluded place and began to train to recover. Jian Lingyu locked himself in the room, as if he was preparing poison.

Du E was holding a set of pottery jars, doing something mysteriously.

As for Wu Xian, he came to an open place alone.

With a shake of his hand, the poker burned, and a V-shaped boomerang appeared in his hand. He wanted to practice the use of the boomerang in advance.

Boomerangs are also called boomerangs. The ones that people usually see are usually entertainment tools. They are usually made of wood or plastic and are polished very smoothly. You won't get hurt if you catch them with your hands. Another type of material is stronger and has a deep V shape. It is really lethal, but this type usually cannot be caught with your hands because it will cause injuries.

The blood-stained boomerang that Wu Xian obtained was made entirely of polished stone. Its hardness and sharpness were no less than that of a metal blade. It only had a blood-stained cloth wrapped around one side as a handle.

Holding the cloth strip, you can use the boomerang as a melee weapon.

But according to common sense, if you want to throw a boomerang and then catch it just at the right place on the cloth strip, it takes a long time of practice.

But when Wu Xian tried it for the first time with trepidation, he was surprised to find that the flight trajectory of this boomerang was completely inconsistent with the laws of physics.

When thrown out, the trajectory is almost a straight line, and it will not fly back until it reaches the distance limit or hits the target. When it comes back, it will only fly towards Wu Xian's location.

Even if Wu Xian ran sideways quickly after throwing the boomerang, he could still accurately catch the boomerang flying back.

No.

It would be more accurate to say that it slipped into Wu Xian's hands rather than being received by Wu Xian.

Wu Xian tried it more than ten times, and there was no accident. He became more and more addicted to it, so much so that the weeds in the open space where he was standing were all smashed to pieces by the boomerang...

……

noon.

Everyone who went out for fun rushed back.

The Wen Chao trio dug up some plant tubers, which could provide everyone with enough carbohydrates. Wei Qinglan brought back a mouse that was bigger than a cat with a big smile on his face...

Everyone gained something, which I won’t go into detail here.

The reason why everyone rushed back at this time is because it is noon now, the sunlight is the strongest, and the suppressing effect on ghosts is the strongest. It is the best time to deal with the water ghost in the well.

In the eyes of everyone's expectations.

Jian Lingyu held a ceramic bowl and walked carefully to the well. The bowl was filled with dark purple thick liquid, which she made using poisonous plants collected from the surrounding area.

Her blessing comes from the 'King of Medicine', and is called General Knowledge of All Herbs.

You can know the basic properties of plants just by touching them, such as which ones are edible, which ones can stop bleeding, which ones can be used to detoxify, and which ones are highly poisonous...

At first glance, this blessing sounds very powerful.

But in fact, it is very dependent on luck. For example, in this blessed land, there is a vast wilderness outside, so this blessing can play a huge role.

But some blessed places are cities of reinforced concrete, or wildernesses where no one lives...

In a place like that, her blessing was equivalent to being abolished.

But at this time, no one had taken any action yet, they just gathered around the well.

Wu Xian had just tested it and even when he was close to the wellhead, he still had an urge to jump in, as if there was a stunning beauty in the well calling him.

Wen Chao held a small stick and placed it on the ground, observing the direction of the sunlight. Soon the shadow of the small stick almost disappeared, and Wen Chao stood up.

"It's OK now. The light is in the right direction."

Everyone gathered at the mouth of the well and looked down. The sun was directly overhead, and the sunlight shone directly into the well. Lying at the mouth of the well, one could even see the reflection of the water surface. A cold air surged up from the bottom, making people feel cold even though it was noon.

Wow!

Jian Lingyu poured the poison in the ceramic bowl into the well.

The water surface was almost instantly dyed light purple, and then ripples began to appear, as if something was swimming quickly underwater.

"Ah...ah..."

at last.

With a shrill scream, a swollen human face emerged from the water, and in her arms was another corpse that had been soaked and swollen.

It’s Aunt Miao!

Swish!
Li Juxian seized the opportunity, swung out the fishing rod, and the straight fishhook pierced into the water ghost's throat!
