Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 108: Who is the Villain

The human shape smoke is the reason why Taoist Qing He failed his spell.

Qin Yi sipped wine alone, listening to Liu Sus analysis in the ring.

If Im not wrong, there is probably an ancient corpse deep in the leyline here, which is causing the drought.

Qin Yi wondered, Its still raining today, and there is underground water too. How could there be a <a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiderigami>drought zombie(hanba)?

Drought zombie? No. Liu Su said, The rainfall in the sky is caused by the intersection of the yin and yang of heaven and earth. To the extent that it can cause drought, the cultivation of the drought zombie has to be extremely high. It has not reached this level now. Its just an ancient corpse that had a certain degree of cultivation during its lifetime Of course, if this continues, it may turn into a drought zombie.

Then why werent there any problems with other peoples well? Why only target Wang Familys well?

It has something to do with the lightning. Someone brought the drought power of the ancient corpse to the Wang Family.

Qin Yi subconsciously looked at the fat shopkeeper on the counter.

Beastkin, has lightning, and pays attention to the Wang Family The clues are so clear that Sherlock is not needed to solve the case.

The fat shopkeeper was pouring himself a drink leisurely. He squinted his little eyes as if he was enjoying his wine. As if sensing Qin Yis gaze, he also turned to look at Qin Yi. His chubby smile looked a bit cute.

Shopkeeper. Qin Yi raised his glass and toasted, Opening the shop during new year and not staying at home to the Spring Festival Gala, what a tough life.

What is the Spring Festival Gala? The fat shopkeeper said with a smile, Well, thats the life of a restaurant owner. Many regular customers are used to having a few drinks in the evening. After they leave, the restaurant will be closed. By the way, you dont seem to be the local here. Why are you running around in the countryside during the new year? Your life is tougher.

For the sake of my tough life, can this meal be free?

Customer, dont be joking. Its just a small business

Then let me treat you. Qin Yi smiled and said, Want to have a drink?

At this time, the last customer in the restaurant had already paid and left. The fat shopkeeper didnt say anything. He slowly arranged the tables and chairs, then slowly closed the door. After closing the last door panel, he still looked a little out of breath, acting like an ordinary fat person.

Qin Yi looked at him with interest.

After closing the restaurant, the fat shopkeeper took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat, walked over unsteadily, sat down in front of Qin Yi, and lamented, Its inconvenient to be fat. Unlike customer, who is in great health, you can just wear a green shirt during this cold spring.

Qin Yi smiled and said, Its better to be fatter because it matches Miss Wang better.

The fat shopkeeper said with joy, Let me tell you, the Miss Wang family is fertile at first sight. If anyone marries her, she can have a litter

A litter of piglets or a litter of mice?

Ugh The fat shopkeeper winked, More or less the same.

Qin Yi couldnt help but laugh, Whats your surname, shopkeeper? It wouldnt be Pi, right?

Nonsense. The fat shopkeeper did not answer the question, but he asked, What did customer gain from going to the Wang Family? Have you met Miss Wang?

Qin Yi twitched his cheek and said, Id better leave that lady to you.

Dont tell me that you were really there to unblock the well?

Yes, Im professional in clearing pipes. Qin Yi said, Since shopkeeper cares so much about Miss Wang, do you know about the situation of the well water drying up?

I know a little bit about it. The fat shopkeeper took a sip of wine and suddenly became alert, Are you really treating me?

Yes, I am. The more detailed you know about the well water situation, the more I can treat.

Thats good. The fat shopkeeper drank wine leisurely and said slowly, Actually, this well dried up three years ago. At that time, the taoist from the mountain performed a rite and solved the problem. It recurred three years later, Landlord Wang couldnt bear to prepare those so-called enchanted instruments for the taoist he said helping for free, but those enchanted instruments are all money.

So he posted a notice to hire someone else?

Yes, he even posted it on the other counties. After half a year of work, many so-called experts came to see it, but they were helpless. I heard that a small kingdom in the south even changed its emperor for three terms, but no one could still fix the well. If this went on, Landlord Wang cant even celebrate the new year

Qin Yi stared at him, Just talk about the well. If you talk about the southern kingdom, I wont treat you!

Oh well. The fat shopkeeper weighed another piece of beef and ate it happily before sighing, Taoist Qing He came by himself this time. Landlord Wang didnt invite him at all.

Came uninvited? Qin Yi asked curiously, Is it really for the sake of peace in the countryside?

Maybe. The fat shopkeeper blinked, The Wang Family has no water, so they just troubled the others to fetch the water from all the way to their house. It caused so many complaints. Maybe the immortals cant stand it anymore.

Qin Yi looked at him without speaking.

It was obvious that the fat shopkeeper dried up the well. Qin Yi asked him just to probe his intention, but he seemed to be deliberately leading it to the taoist temple on the mountain.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, If Taoist Qing He cant solve this matter, I wonder if the two hundred and fifty years old Taoist Qing Xu will personally take action. Im really looking forward to it.

Qin Yi pondered for a moment and asked, What if Taoist Qing Xu really takes action himself?

The shopkeepers smile narrowed, Thats great, then everyone can witness if he is really two hundred and fifty years old.

Its getting late. Thank you for your hospitality. The shopkeeper stood up unsteadily, Im going to peep at Miss Wang. Do you want to come along?

Just enjoy yourself.

The shopkeeper didnt say anything more and quietly slipped out through the side door.

Qin Yi looked at his back speechlessly. He just let me stay in his wine shop. Did he mean to give away all the property on the counter for free? He is deliberately making me curious about how would he peep at Miss Wang

Youre wearing a thin green shirt at this time. Anyone who is not stupid can tell that you are cultivated and that you are not an ordinary person. Liu Su said, This fat rats words have a hidden meaning, which is to let you follow him.

Qin Yi nodded and followed up.

It didnt take long before he saw the fat shopkeeper lying next to the side door of Family Wang with his butt sticking out and looking in through the gap between the doors. Qin Yi walked to the other speechlessly, climbed onto the courtyard wall, and hid behind a tree.

This was the backyard of the Wang Family. There were many water tanks in the yard. The water had been brought here recently from other places for later use. At a glance, the densely packed water tank reflected countless moons in the moonlight. Such a scene would terrify those who had trypophobia, making an ordinary scene look like a horror scene.

Before Qin Yi could judge, he saw Taoist Qing He sneaking into the yard.

He stood in the middle of the yard and looked around the water tank. A ferocious look suddenly appeared on his face full of immortal aura. He gestured a seal and chanted.

After a while, countless green lights emerged from his hands and fell into all the water tanks.

Taoist Qing He sneered and left.

Poison Qin Yi was a professional apothecary after all. He sniffed the scent carefully and identified it immediately, Its actually corpse poison?

No matter what the reason was, it would have been fine to use other poisons, but an immortal with corpse poison made Qin Yi feel a little creepy.

The next moment, the fat shopkeeper released a lightning current from the gap between the doors and let it bounce in all the water tanks. Qin Yi clearly felt that all the poison was dissolved by the lightning current.

The taoist is poisoning, and the beastkin is secretly detoxifying?

I originally thought that the fat mouse was the villain, but now, its really hard to tell who the villain is.

It is initially just an ordinary well drying up, but the things involved behind it seem to be becoming more and more strange

TL: Why would Taoist Qing He treat the well if he wanted to poison?
