Li Huowang once again confirmed the stolen things on the paper, although only from the materials, Li Huowang could not tell the efficacy of the elixir.
But as Dan Yangzi’s personal disciple of Dan Xiu, Li Huowang can still easily tell that this is a Dan formula.
“Could it be another Danyangzi?” Recalling his past in Qingfengguan, Li Huowang’s expression became cloudy.
Seeing Li Huowang’s changing expression, Lou Zhixian immediately accompanied him and asked cautiously: “My lord? Did you find anything? Did you find those babies?”
“No, not yet, but I already have a clue.” Li Huowang slapped the paper in his hand on his chest.
“Although I don’t know what they are refining, but some things can’t be changed. Alchemy must meet the requirements of one life, two extremes, six dusts and seven returns. These pills are not close enough. In order to achieve the six dusts, they will definitely steal some. Fifty scattered medicinal materials.”
“Count out those medicinal materials, and keep an eye on them! No matter what they are, they will definitely come again!” When Li Huowang said this, he was firm.
Regardless of whether it is another Dan Yangzi, the first thing to do is to find him, as long as you find out, the next thing will be easy.
“Okay! As long as I can help the common people find their children, no matter who the official is, I will listen to the adults! I’ll go and call all the medicinal shop owners in the county!”
“Wait a minute,” Li Huowang grabbed him, “What you’re doing is trying to scare the snake away. I’ll take care of it. Now you have to cooperate with me in acting.”
“Acting?”
That afternoon, Louzhi County led a group of people to send Li Huowang away from Cangshui County in a big way.
When it was learned that Li Huowang was the one who caught the flower picker, the people around him became even more so.
Many grateful county residents took all kinds of things and stuffed them into Li Huowang’s carriage, but he stopped them all.
After sending it away for five miles, Li Huowang dissuaded him again, and Lou Zhixian turned back to the county with the others reluctantly.
With the murder of the flower picker, Cangshui County never found any more defiled women.
Although the missing baby was not recovered, no other babies were lost, and the panic-stricken Cangshui County people gradually calmed down.
A few days later, at night, on a deserted street, a hunchbacked watchman was knocking on Hache repeatedly. “The sky is dry and the things are dry ~be careful of the fire candle~”
It was nothing at first, but after the third watch, things became weird.
Accompanied by the knocking sound, the shadow of the watchman stood up from the ground, his limbs became thin and long, and he moved slowly with the same behavior as him.
The shadow seemed to be propped up by something, and inside the dark shadow, something was moving.
The sound of wood hitting, followed by the call of the watchman, sounded again. “The sky is dry and the things are dry ~be careful of the fire candle~”
When the watchman approached a pharmacy, some medicinal materials wrapped in oilcloth passed through the wall and disappeared into the shadow of the watchman. The shadow got bigger. “The sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful with the candle~”
More and more medicinal materials were incorporated into the watchman’s shadow, which was bulging and gradually lost its human form, becoming more and more distorted and terrifying.
And all of this was watched coldly by Li Huowang who was lying on the roof.
Before I was sent off by Lou Zhi County, it was just a cover-up. What I want is for the other party to think that Li Huowang is gone and relax his vigilance.
With the ability of invisibility, Li Huowang quickly figured out the number and location of the remaining five stone powder in Cangshui County by himself.
After several days of squatting in secret, he finally waited for these things to start again.
Alchemy requires years, months and days, so he predicted that the other party would not be able to wait forever.
“Taoist! Now that we have found them all, why are you still in a daze? Hurry up and catch the thief who stole the child! Don’t let them harm others.”
The monk seems to be more impatient than Li Huowang in this matter.
“Don’t worry, it’s useless to catch someone who goes out to steal things. Let him out to catch the big one behind.”
Seeing the watchman walking away, the invisible Li Huowang followed him quietly on the tiles.
Time passed little by little, and when it was the fourth watch, the bloated shadow had become the size of a house, moving in the streets like a little black giant.
At this moment, the monk beside Li Huowang jumped up anxiously, just because he saw a child in a bamboo basket wearing clothes across the wall and merging into the huge shadow.
It seemed that it was almost enough, the shadow left behind the watchman, waving its slender limbs and floating towards the air.
“Taoist! He’s about to run away! Hurry up and chase after him!!” Seeing this scene, the monk was so anxious that he was about to cry.
“Don’t make noise!” Li Huowang stomped on the stone beast on the roof with his right foot, and ran towards that side.
The shadows were floating in the sky, and Li Huowang chased them on the ground. Fortunately, his eyesight is good enough now, otherwise the dark shadows are mixed in the dark sky, and there is no difference at all.
As Li Huowang ran farther and farther, he ran out of Cangshui County and came to the dirt road outside the county.
At this moment, he was exhausted and out of breath, and he was getting farther and farther away from that thing.
“I can’t do this, I’m going to lose it!” Li Huowang immediately took out a talisman, bit his finger and began to draw.
As the two talismans stuck to Li Huowang’s legs and knees, the veins on his face suddenly popped up, making him look extraordinarily ferocious, and an indescribable heat enveloped Li Huowang’s heart.
But this dedication is rewarded, and his speed has increased several times in an instant.
Because of the increase in speed, the breeze blew the granulation on Li Huowang’s face constantly falling backwards. Finally caught up with the shadow.
Gradually it was dawn, and as the morning sun rose, accompanied by the sound of waves, the shadow shattered, and the things inside fell into a raging river one after another.
When Li Huowang rushed to the river, he saw something in the unusually blurred water carrying medicinal materials that fell into the water.
The water was rippling, and it was difficult for Li Huowang to see what it was. He could only look at the blurry thing under the water, wrapped in those medicinal materials, and moved towards the underwater cave in the distance.
Li Huowang raised his head and looked at the low gap on the water surface in the distance. “Could this be their lair?”
On the top of the cave is a towering green rocky mountain. The cave at the foot of the mountain is like a huge black mouth, swallowing the wide river continuously.
After carefully identifying the location and the map, Li Huowang found that this place happened to be the center of those lost children’s counties, and everything happened here.
“No matter what they are, these guys should be like Dan Yangzi back then, deliberately hiding in this inaccessible place.”
It should be a happy thing to find the other party’s hiding place, but Li Huowang looked at the cave on the water, and felt a little troubled for a while.
“But how do I get in?”
