Qiu Zu: From an apprentice in a medicine shop to an immortal ancestor

Chapter 103 The old monster was caught?
Xiangyang Village is mainly populated by villagers with the surname Li, plus a few households with other surnames. The population is no more than a thousand, so it is not a big village.

In these years, there have been wealthy families and martial artists born, and the country can be said to be thriving and developing well.

However, no great figures were born in Xiangyang Village.

In recent years, the most promising person is only a martial artist who has reached the fourth level of acquired martial arts.

That martial artist is now over fifty years old, his energy and blood are declining, and it seems that he has no possibility of making further progress. He has nothing to do with the legendary master.

The population mobility in the entire village is not high. In recent years, the only outsider who has made a name for himself is Qiu Zhen, who works in a medicine shop in the city and rents a house in the village for permanent residence.

"Master Yanshan" drove ghosts to harass the people, and the immortal cultivator who was proficient in thunder magic chose Xiangyang Village instead of taking action in so many places. How can it be explained by a coincidence? Commander, you mentioned before the coincidence between Qiu Zhen and the mysterious immortal cultivator of thunder magic. This case can be regarded as a correspondence. "

Lin Shoulong seemed extremely excited while speaking:
"In addition, Qiu Zhen's past experience is also very interesting. Before he was ten years old, he was no different from other country kids. Children from poor families have to take care of the family early. He followed his parents to farm since he was a child. He was very obedient, filial, diligent and capable. But since four years ago, he seemed to have become a different person. His temperament changed drastically. He became mature and steady, unlike a country boy."

"This is a big question."

"According to rumors, after his personality changed drastically, he had a very clear goal. He first tried to please the old student in the village and learn to read from him. He learned very quickly. In just a few months, he could read and understand articles. He was a child prodigy. This was probably a cover-up on his part. He could read, and asking the old student for help was just a cover-up."

"Later, Qiu Zhen's behavior also showed courage and determination beyond that of a country boy. The person in charge of selecting apprentices in Medicine King Valley did not go to Qiujia Village, but he went to apply for the selection himself. Not only did he successfully enter Medicine King Valley, but in the next two or three years, his concoction skills improved by leaps and bounds, and his salary was more than double that of his fellow apprentices."

"Then, Qiu Zhen's behavior became even more abnormal. Unlike other apprentices, he did not give all his wages to his parents. In addition to the usual filial piety, he used the rest of the money on martial arts training. For this, he was branded as an unfilial son and was criticized by his family and villagers. He withstood the pressure and practiced martial arts step by step. He turned the situation around, and the entire Qiujia Village followed his lead."

"He has a far-sighted vision, a strong character, is not surprised by praise or criticism, and is well-versed in human nature. To be honest, if I were in the same situation as Qiu Zhen when I was young, I would probably be far inferior to him. After the great change he made four years ago, perhaps his strength is very weak, but as he walks forward step by step, it makes people feel like they are facing a strong man directly."

At this point, Lin Shoulong looked at Wei Tanzhi with a leisurely expression, eager to try:
"Commander, from his personality changes to the thunder master who fought against the Wood Puppet Sect, all the clues point to the same direction. Your previous guess has come true. It is very likely that our Little Divine Doctor Qiu is the reincarnation of an old monster who has possessed the immortal cultivator."

"Wow~"

Wei Tanzhi flipped through all the files about Qiu Zhen, reading ten lines at a glance, flipping through them quickly, thinking in his mind.

If we assume that "Qiu Zhen" is the reincarnation of an old monster who has cultivated immortality, everything can be explained.

Whether it was the drastic change in his personality during his youth, or Qiu Zhen's battles with the "evil exorcist" and the monks of the Wooden Puppet Sect, masters of thunder magic appeared several times.

Among them, there are "Yin Shen masters" and "Hua Shen old monsters".

Before this, no one in the Demon Suppression Division had linked them together. They just thought it was a coincidence that they were both proficient in thunder magic.

Looking back, this so-called "master of Yin God" and "old monster of transformation" are probably just one person.

In the path of cultivating immortals, if one wants to avoid the six reincarnations and be reborn by possessing a body on one’s own, one needs to cultivate to the realm of “refining qi into spirit” and awaken the “primordial spirit”.

The primordial spirit is the unmovable origin of all living things. Once the primordial spirit is awakened, one will have the ability to "possess a body and reincarnate."

Only in this kind of "old monster recultivating" would there be a special situation where the physical body is weak and the acquired cultivation is mere, but at the same time, he can condense the "Yin God" and awaken the "Yuan Shen".

"If Qiu is really an old monster who has cultivated immortality and is now cultivating again, then everything is indeed right."

After some thought, Wei Tanzhi sorted out his thoughts, nodded slightly, and his face was full of excitement.

Last year, an old monster who could control thunder and lightning was suspected to have appeared in Qingmu territory. The entire Changle Prefecture was shocked by it. Everyone was very cautious and did not dare to provoke this powerful and mysterious old monster.

That's because they don't know the other party's background. Changle Mansion doesn't dare to offend such a powerful person easily and cause trouble.

However, if this "old monster who cultivates immortality" is a reincarnation and is just pretending to scare people, that would be a different matter.

No matter how powerful the "old monster who cultivates immortality" was in his previous life, he will definitely have to go through a long dormant period after his rebirth. He will be very weak and will not have many of the "old monster who cultivates immortality"'s magical powers. It is not difficult to kill him, and he is a soft persimmon that they can pick on.

Capturing a reincarnated "old monster cultivator" would be a great achievement, and the court would bestow generous rewards, including a treasure that could lead to promotion to a martial arts master.

"Commander, the clues are indeed correct, but we still lack conclusive evidence. These few speculations are not enough to conclude the case."

Seeing Wei Tanzhi's joy and excitement, Lin Shoulong also understood his commander's thoughts. At this moment, his excitement disappeared, and he became a little worried instead.

These clues are just speculations and there is no definite evidence to arrest Qiu Zhen according to the law.

Thinking of this, Lin Shoulong bowed and asked:
"Commander, do you think we should close the net or continue the investigation?"

"Since Qiu Zhen is suspected to be the reincarnation of an old monster who cultivated immortality, this matter is of great importance and should be dealt with sooner rather than later."

Wei Tanzhi waved his hands, not agreeing at all.

This move might offend Qiu Zhen, who is suspected to have a great destiny.

However, he didn't care.

Compared to the opportunity to be promoted to a martial arts master, offending a genius with a certain fate is nothing.

How could the Demon Suppression Division always have solid evidence when handling cases?

If this is true, can the case still be handled?

There are so many cases of demons and monsters every day, and there are so many people who are secretly practicing Taoism in the aristocratic families and big sects, and are ready to make a move. If we need solid evidence before taking action, then the number of people the Demon Suppression Division can maintain is not enough.

Even doubling the number of men and horses might not be enough.

The imperial court ordered the Demon Suppression Division to set up prisons and exercise law enforcement power independent of the judiciary, just for this purpose.

Several days passed.

Before we knew it, it was time to go to the Demon Suppression Division to exorcise evil spirits.

Qiu Zhen always kept his promises. When the day came, he walked out of the mountain gate for the first time after not leaving the "Seeking Truth Valley" for several days. "Sir, are you going to the city today?"

Baizhu and Xiaozaozi were very happy when they heard that they were going out.

In the past few days, or perhaps in the past month, Qiu Zhen has been staying at home and rarely goes out. As a result, they also rarely go out, and they are all bored.

Whatever you do outside is better than staying at home.

"Yes, we are going to the Demon Suppression Division to exorcise the evil spirits."

Qiu Zhen frowned slightly while speaking.

Somehow, today he suddenly felt a little irritated.

Could it be that someone is targeting me again?

Is there anyone coveting Qiujia Village again?

Right now, his biggest weakness is in the Fuze Treasure Land, which has now been dealt with, so he is not afraid of investigation by the Demon Suppression Division.

Qiu Zhen's view on the Fuze Treasure Land was different from before. He was now able to keep the treasure land and was not afraid of others coveting it. He immediately bowed his head and instructed:
"Bai Shu, I have a feeling. You will stay in Qiujia Village today to look after it. If someone covets the Fuze treasure land, you don't have to take action. Just let them in. Just remember how many treasures they have stolen from us. There is no need to fight them."

"Oh!"

When Bai Zhu heard that it was serious business, he didn't make a fuss about going out. He nodded in agreement, found a cushion in disappointment, and looked aggrieved.

"Ghostly ghostly ghost."

Qiu Zhen smiled but didn't take it too seriously. He took Xiao Zaozi and rode his horse straight to the Demon Suppression Division.

Over the past year, Qiu Zhen has walked the route to the Demon Suppression Division so many times that he is very familiar with it.

Whether it was the route he took or the time he arrived at the Zhenmo stable, where the groom hurried over to lead the horse and feed it, everything was exactly the same as before, and couldn't be more familiar.

However, somehow, Qiu Zhen felt a sudden rush of emotion in his heart, and the feeling became stronger and stronger.

"Something seems wrong."

Qiu Zhen was shocked.

Could it be that his sudden inspiration was not in the "Blessed Land" but in the Demon Suppression Division?

Thinking of this, Qiu Zhen turned around and left the Demon Suppression Division without saying anything.

However, just as he turned around, a group of demon-suppressing warriors rushed into the courtyard.

"Sir, why are you leaving?"

As he was speaking, a group of demon-suppressing warriors gathered around him.

Wu Chuanfeng, the demon-suppressing lieutenant, said with a smile:
"Sir, you are finally here. Deputy Commander Lin said he wants to see you. I won't exorcise the evil spirits today. Please follow me to meet the deputy commander first!"

Meet Deputy Commander Lin?

The Demon Suppression Division is looking for me again?

Qiu Zhen's heart sank and he looked towards the group of demon-suppressing martial artists.

Wu Chuanfeng was smiling and looked natural, but the expressions on the faces of the group of demon-suppressing martial artists following behind him were somewhat unnatural, and each of them seemed a little afraid to look Qiu Zhen in the eye.

"This"

Qiu Zhen is familiar with a group of demon-suppressing martial artists. He usually exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases for them. Many people have been cured of their chronic illnesses by him, and many people are grateful to him.

Looking at their expressions, Qiu Zhen had a vague understanding.

Now, he finally understood the source of today's "sudden inspiration".

He had been to the Demon Suppression Division a few days ago, so he never thought that the danger came from the Demon Suppression Division.
"Inertial thinking kills people."

Qiu Zhen secretly complained in his heart, thinking that he was on the "Roster of Evil Geniuses", and with the sudden inspiration as evidence, he immediately realized that this time, the Demon Suppression Division had come with ill intentions.

"Sir, let's go."

Wu Chuanfeng urged.

"Row."

Qiu Zhen was surprised, but soon regained his composure.

At the gate of the Demon Suppression Bureau, he soon found himself in a position to neither refuse nor escape, and could only follow the other party to pay a visit to Deputy Commander Lin.

Fortunately, he acted on impulse, and although he guessed wrongly about the source of the danger and trouble, he did not make a mistake in leaving Bai Zhu at home, allowing Bai Zhu to go to the An Mansion to inform the public.

Once you enter the Demon Suppression Division, it is one thing for someone to report the incident and for no one to care.

"Ouch, Captain Wu, my stomach is a little uncomfortable. Can I go to the toilet first?"

"This"
