Soul echo

Chapter 685 Stealing the Pot
"...I think it's better for us to stop here."

Before getting close to Jianning, Lilian looked at the city in the distance and made such a remark: "I have faced that big monster before, and I am not sure if there are any germs on my body, but you have been with me for so long, If I have any germs on me, you may be infected too."

As she said that, Lilian looked at the direction behind her with some concern. They hurried back and took nearly an hour to return to Jianning's surroundings, but Zhong Ye did not catch up.

Is it sent back to deal with urgent matters?Or is there something unresolved?Or rather...

However, Lilian still believed that Zhong Ye had actually dealt with the monster, but there were still some things that had not been resolved, so she didn't rush over.

Hearing Lilian's words, Zhang Jing also reacted, and hurriedly stopped all the Yangmen people. If they really carried some germs on their bodies and brought those germs into Jianning, it would be bad.

After making everyone stay where they are, Zhang Jing picked up the talisman, contacted Si Kou Hong who was in the city, and informed him of the situation on their side.

[It just so happens that the Jishi Pot is still in Jianning, I will report it to the medical department later and apply for it for you to use. ] After finishing speaking, Si Kou Hong asked their location again, and then cut off the communication after confirming.

At the beginning of the founding of the Huang Dynasty, Taizu reorganized the two imperial hospitals in Shuntianfu and Yingtianfu into medical departments, but they were not included in the six departments and were still under the Ministry of Rites.

In addition to the 'Ji Shi Pot', the Ministry of Medicine also has the "Qing Nang Shu".

The "Jishi Pot" is dedicated to treating plagues, and "Qing Nang Shu" is dedicated to treating chronic diseases and exorcising curses.

Although it is not sure whether Zhang Jing and the others are carrying germs, no matter how cautious they are in the face of the abyss, it is not too much.

Lilian and the others stood in place and waited for a while, and then saw a figure walking out of the city gate in the distance.

The man was also carrying a huge gourd on his shoulders. The gourd should be more than two meters high, and it was extremely shocking to be carried by the man on his shoulders.

When the figure got closer, they realized that the man was Si Kou Hong.

Boom!
Si Kou Hong put the gourd on the ground and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Huh! It's quite heavy!"

The Jishi Pot is not very heavy, but carrying such a huge gourd out of the city, and Si Kou Hong is not born with strength attributes, so he will naturally feel heavy.

The emperor's permission is required to use the country's most important weapon, but after obtaining the emperor's permission, how to use it is what the department in charge of the important weapon should do. That's why Si Kou Hong said 'report to the medical department'.

After resting for a while, Si Kouhong put the gourd down, pulled out the plug, and pointed the mouth of the gourd at Lilian and the others.

Lilian and the others waited nervously. After a while, they saw Si Kou Hong raising his hand and scratching his hair, his face full of depression: "Hiss! What is the spell for using the Jishi Pot? Old Zhang, do you still remember?"

Hearing these words, the veins on many people's foreheads tensed up, and they clenched their fists tightly, wanting to beat him up.

Zhang Jing sighed: "The hanging pot is on the top, saving the common people."

"Ah yes yes yes!"

Si Kou Hong laughed, stretched out his hand to clap the gourd, and recited the incantation.

Immediately afterwards, wisps of black air flew out of Lilian and the others and flowed into the mouth of the pot.

People exclaimed when they saw this, but they didn't expect that they actually carried germs on their bodies.

"All right!"

When there was no more black air flying out from the people, Si Kou Hong closed the mouth of the pot, and as soon as he raised his head, he saw a flash of knife light.

Eyelids twitched, and the figure flashed and disappeared in an instant, but he didn't notice that Zhang Jing's iron hand had already grasped the Jishi Pot.

'Si Kou Hong' appeared in the distance with the Jishi Pot, but the waist knife was still hanging in front of his eyes, and he was frightened out of his wits, and hurriedly let go and jumped away.

At this moment, Lilian came to her senses, pulled out the revolver and pointed it at 'Si Kou Hong'.

Bang bang bang!
'Si Kou Hong' was about to leave, but three bullets pierced through its legs and shoulders, causing it to fall to the ground screaming.

Then a waist knife swirled and flew over, beheading its head.

After the head was disconnected from the body, the appearance and shape of the corpse changed dramatically.

At this moment, a black mist gushed out from the corpse and rushed to the sky, even Zhang Jing didn't have time to react.

Lilian pointed the muzzle of the gun at the black mist and bit her lower lip. In the end, she didn't choose to shoot, because it was useless to shoot. Their bodies were just a cloud of smoke, and the bullets couldn't hurt them at all.

She knew what it was, in the West, they called it 'Mind Eater', but in the East, they should be called 'Painted Skin'.

I thought that after the Mind Eater's consciousness aggregates were eliminated, this matter would be over, but I didn't expect to see them again after coming to Dongtu.

Putting away the revolver, Lilian walked towards Zhang Jing, and only then did people realize what happened.

"What is Master Zhang looking at?" Lilian asked suspiciously.

Because she saw that Zhang Jing was looking at the huge gourd in his hand with a puzzled face, and she didn't quite understand why he was confused.

"This is the real 'Jishe Pot'..."

Zhang Jing took a light breath: "And I had contacted Si Kou Hong just now, which means that the Jishi Pot was still in his hands at that time, but shortly after we ended the communication, that thing brought Walked out with the Jishi Pot... What's going on here?"

Hearing what Zhang Jing said, Lilian also realized the problem.

She looked at the Jishi Pot, then at the city in the distance, and suggested: "Thinking hard here won't yield results, why don't you go into the city and ask, and see what happened."

Zhang Jing's eyebrows stretched, and he nodded slightly, "It should be so."

After speaking, he carried the gourd on his shoulder and turned to greet the Guanyangmen.

At this time, Jianning was forbidden to leave the city, so when Zhang Jing and his group walked into Jianning, many people were surprised.

Zhang Jing carried the Jishi Pot and found Si Kou Hong in the government office.

"Where is the person from the medical department?" Si Kou Hong looked around, "Why are you carrying the Jishi Pot?"

Hearing these words, Zhang Jing understood what was going on.

"Didn't you just use the Jishi Pot?"

Hearing this, Si Kou Hong shook his head, "Since such a big incident happened in Jianning, how could His Majesty not send people from the medical department to come? There are already people from the medical department, so why should I use the Jishi pot? It also said in the newsletter, 'Report to the medical department later', didn't it?"

"So that's how it is..." Zhang Jing closed his eyes, sighed, and then told Si Kou Hong what happened before.

Si Kou Hong's face became serious, and he said bluntly, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out and gave an order to the servants in the government office: "Go and call all the medical staff who came to support Jianning, and tell them that I have something to ask them!"

They don't know if something got into the medical department, or if they were just deceived, if the latter is fine, if it's the former, then there will be a big problem.

The Jishi Pot was placed in the open space in front of the yamen lobby, Si Kou Hong and Zhang Jing stood by, although Lilian didn't know what was going on, but the expressions of the two god catchers were not very good-looking, and the players gathered together.

Ten minutes later, all the medical personnel sent from Shuntian Mansion to support Jianning arrived, which made Si Kou Hong and Zhang Jing feel relieved. It turned out that they were just being deceived, not that there was a problem with the medical department.

When they told the staff of the medical department what happened before, everyone was in an uproar.

It is unforgivable for the people in the medical department that someone wants to pretend to be them and steal the Jishi pot.

Although the truth of this matter has been confirmed, Si Kou Hong and Zhang Jing still insist on keeping the Jishi Pot by their side, waiting for the signal from the Shuntian Mansion, and then sending the Jishi Pot back without handing it over to the medical department. In the hands of others, in order to avoid accidents.

When the crowd left, Si Kou Hong and Zhang Jing looked at each other, and they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

They didn't understand why that thing wanted to steal the Jishi Pot. If there was no national luck, wouldn't the Jishi Pot be useable?
