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

Chapter 41: Making Waves [Seeking Votes and Continued Reading]

Previously, our neighbor Uncle Li and others reported to the authorities, and martial arts experts from the Demon Suppression Division in the county came to investigate the case of the "Yanshan Sorcerer" disturbing the people with his ghost exorcisms.

A month has passed, and the storm has subsided.

The government and the Demon Suppression Division are busy with many matters and no longer care about this matter, letting it drop.

The "Yanshan Sorcerer," seeing that the heat had died down, came out again to stir up trouble, but he was obviously more cautious in his actions.

His methods were not as simple and crude as before.

He didn't dare to exorcise ghosts and capture people now.

So, he switched to using spells like "Nightmares" to harass the fishermen.

The methods were extremely secretive.

"This matter is not easy to handle."

Qiu Zhen's heart sank.

If the Yanshan Sorcerer was as arrogant and despotic as last time, openly taking action, the matter would be easier to resolve. He could fight him in a duel, and their lives would depend on their abilities.

But now, the opponent is hiding in the dark, playing "dirty tricks," making it difficult to find him.

Cultivators are different from martial artists. Their methods are mysterious. They can cast spells to harm people from several miles away, or even dozens of miles away.

It's definitely not as simple as searching near Xiangyang Village to find the "Yanshan Sorcerer."

If it were that simple, the Demon Suppression Division would have taken care of the Yanshan Sorcerer long ago.

In fact, there is a simple and crude method—to use oneself as bait.

As the saying goes, what you think about during the day, you dream about at night.

Tell Uncle Li that he caught a strange fish, let Uncle Li think about it more, and when he enters a dream at night, he can lure the "Yanshan Sorcerer" to find him, and then he can take action to kill him.

"This method is too stupid, it's really the worst option."

Qiu Zhen shook his head and immediately rejected this idea.

A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall.

If he doesn't take action, the worst outcome is that "Dan Dao Dun Fa" will attract the attention of the Demon Suppression Division, and he may become one of the suspected targets.

However, he is currently just a small martial artist, a small shrimp in the river, not worthy of attention.

Even if he is suspected, he will definitely not be the main suspect.

There are plenty of people who are more suspicious.

On the contrary, if he "risks his life" and successfully kills the "Yanshan Sorcerer" silently, that would be great, everything would be fine.

But if there is even a little accident, he will be doomed.

This action is a complete gambler's behavior, wanting to die faster than necessary, which is not what a wise man would do.

"Brother Qiu, the evil cultivator is here again. What do you think we should do?"

Uncle Li saw Qiu Zhen staring blankly, and he became even more uncertain.

"Uncle Li, in the future, you can just call me Xiao Zhen. Calling me Brother Qiu, Brother Qiu, I'm almost the same generation as my dad."

Qiu Zhen came back to his senses, first joked with a smile, and then comforted him:

"Actually, it's not a big deal. The other party doesn't dare to take action openly, so he's just using some ghostly tricks, which are not worthy of attention. Put your heart at ease. Those nightmare spells can't hurt you. If you are anxious and uneasy, you will fall into their trap. With the Demon Suppression Division here, he probably won't dare to be too arrogant. Maybe he will leave in a few days."

"Xiao Zhen, you're right."

Uncle Li saw that Qiu Zhen was still in the mood to joke, and his heart couldn't help but feel much more at ease.

He is just an ordinary rural farmer, and his greatest skill is fishing. When he encounters such things as ghosts, gods, and demons, he is a little at a loss and can only ask Qiu Zhen for advice.

In his eyes, Qiu Zhen is a disciple of Medicine King Valley and a student of a great figure, so he understands these things.

"Uncle Li, anyway, I will still live in your small courtyard in the future, and I can take care of you if there is any movement."

"Yes, yes, then I will have to trouble you."

Xiangyang Village, Qiu Residence.

In the afternoon, Qiu Residence was very lively. The original owner, the landlord Li Yuanwai, and Steward Kang personally came to the door with congratulatory gifts to congratulate the Qiu family on their moving.

"Brother Qiu, congratulations, congratulations! You have given birth to a Qilin son, which is enviable!"

Qiu Zhen's father, Qiu Tianbao, and Qiu Zhen's mother, Li Ying, are both ordinary country people. When they learned that the visitors were the local well-known Yuanwai and the steward of the Qingmu Medicine Shop who came to congratulate them and say auspicious words, the two "adults," who were usually eloquent at home, seemed very restrained.

Qiu Zhen's father, Qiu Tianbao, who had a very stubborn temper, only uttered one sentence for a long time, "Thank you, Li Yuanwai," "Thank you, Steward Kang."

The eldest brother, Qiu Qing, was also a little restrained and couldn't let go, just serving tea and water.

Seeing that his parents were restrained, Qiu Zhen immediately personally greeted the guests.

"Steward Kang, Li Yuanwai, please sit down, don't be polite."

"Okay!"

Li Yuanwai and Steward Kang sat down with smiles.

For a time, the three of them talked and laughed, and it was very lively.

During the conversation, the topic was basically focused on Qiu Zhen.

In fact, most of the time, Steward Kang and Li Yuanwai were flattering Qiu Zhen, and the two sides were talking very happily.

In addition, a group of villagers from Xiangyang Village also came to congratulate them one after another, expressing a warm welcome to the Qiu family's move into Xiangyang Village.

The reason is very simple, only the four words "talent introduction."

Although Xiangyang Village is close to Qingmu Town and is not considered remote, it will occasionally encounter ferocious beasts and villains committing crimes. The more martial artists in the village, the safer the villagers will be.

Especially now that the "Yanshan Sorcerer" is exorcising ghosts and causing trouble, the villagers are uneasy and worried.

As a martial artist, and also a "young martial artist," no village would refuse the Qiu family's move in.

It's too late to recruit them and be affectionate, who would dare to offend and neglect them.

When it was evening, there were fewer people congratulating, and Qiu Residence became quiet.

Qiu Zhen's father, Qiu Zhen's mother, and eldest brother Qiu Qing were all too shocked today, and they were all a little absent-minded, looking dazed.

Their son (younger brother) is more promising than they imagined, and he is making waves in Qingmu City.

The eldest brother, Qiu Qing, swallowed his saliva:

"Little brother, was that the Steward Kang that Thin Monkey and Big Head were talking about who came to congratulate us just now?"

Qiu Zhen nodded slightly:

"That's right! We were able to buy this house and thirty acres of fields, all thanks to Steward Kang's matchmaking."

Qiu Qing was slightly stunned:

"Then he's quite a nice person, why are Thin Monkey and the others..."

"Heh, heh, heh~ It's just a matter of judging people by their clothes."

Qiu Zhen smiled and didn't say much about his affairs with Steward Kang.

Previously, Steward Kang gave him one thousand taels of silver, which he could not accept, otherwise, he would be manipulated by the Kang family in the future. And asking for help is only a matter between private individuals, and has nothing to do with the Kang family.

He maintained the initiative from beginning to end.

Qiu Zhen didn't tell his parents and eldest brother these trivial matters:

"Parents, eldest brother, you have been running around for a day today, you should wash up and rest early. Tomorrow, let Uncle Li take you to the fields to take a look and recognize our family's fields."

When the three of them heard about the thirty acres of fields, they each became energetic and went to their own rooms.

Qiu Zhen's father and mother went to the main room, and the eldest brother Qiu Qing went to the east wing.

Qiu Zhen went to the "west wing" where the youngest son lived. After washing up, Qiu Zhen sat cross-legged on the bed.

When he was greeting guests during the day, he had been thinking about a good strategy to "break the situation."

Unfortunately, there are not many methods available right now, and his abilities are limited, so he has not come up with a good opportunity.

However, Qiu Zhen is not distressed.

If he can't do it himself, he can ask for help, isn't it?

With this thought, Qiu Zhen reached into his arms and took out a jade talisman token.

It is the [Miro Palace].

Perhaps Qingmu Town is a small place. For more than a month, he has never relied on the jade talisman to find a fairy fate again, nor has he met other Miro Palace Taoists.

Fortunately, he knows the Kun Taoist "Yun Rou," so he won't be unable to find a Taoist friend to ask for advice.

Qiu Zhen held the [Miro Palace] in his hand and sent a divine thought into it.

"Is Fairy Yun Rou there? I am Qingwei Layman, I have something to ask the fairy."
