Ke Jing's face lit up with a smile upon hearing that there was a way to resolve the corpse蛊.
"We, the security team, will definitely cooperate, Daoist Master."
"You all agree, right?"
"Captain Ke is right, we will fully cooperate with the Daoist Master."
Shi Jian glanced at the security team and mentally calculated the time.
It would take about two to three days for people from the Heavenly Master’s Mansion to arrive in Longquan Town after receiving the letter.
"Two days should be enough to deal with the Witchcraft from Miaojiang."
Shi Jian had already planned out all the subsequent matters in his mind, arranging his schedule tightly.
After dealing with the witches from Miaojiang, he would have to go deal with the thousand-year-old zombie.
After the thousand-year-old zombie situation was resolved, he would go to the Fierce Ghost Academy to slack off.
"Hmm, dealing with the witchcraft from Miaojiang is not that difficult."
"The witchcraft from Miaojiang is mainly divided into white witchcraft and black witchcraft."
"What we encountered is black witchcraft, and most of the蛊 refer to black witchcraft."
Shi Jian began to explain the classification and basic situation of Miaojiang witchcraft to the security team and the monk.
However, the security team listened with confusion and bewilderment.
"The so-called蛊 are usually controlled by flower蛊 or蛊 insects."
Ke Jing looked enlightened upon hearing this, as if he finally understood everything.
"Were those monsters just now infected with蛊 insects, that's why they're called corpse蛊?"
"That's right, those corpses were infected with the sub-insects of the corpse蛊, which is why they could move."
"To resolve the corpse蛊, one must find the mother worm. Otherwise, it's useless to eliminate any number of sub-insects."
Everyone nodded in understanding after hearing Shi Jian's words.
"Daoist Master, how can we find the mother worm?"
Ke Jing continued to ask, as this was the most crucial question. It was useless to know anything if they couldn't find the mother worm.
"Don't worry. Usually, it is women who perform witchcraft in Miaojiang, and the mother worm cannot be too far from the child worms, otherwise, it is difficult to control the child worms."
"Therefore, the person who performed the witchcraft is definitely still in Longquan Town."
Shi Jian revealed all his deductions.
With a walking radar beside him, capturing a small Miaojiang witch would be as easy as pie.
"Women!!!"
The security team was stunned upon hearing that women performed witchcraft, as if they had lost their souls.
"What are you all scared of, you bunch of cowards? Tomorrow, we'll gather all the villagers. I, the captain, will personally catch the witch."
Ke Jing gave an order and approached Shi Jian, his disciple, and the monk.
"Daoist Master, Venerable Monk, let's discuss a plan to deal with the witch, so that they don't resort to desperate measures."
The security team put away their guns, ready to gather the villagers the next day.
A rooster crowed, and the sky turned to morning.
Thirty security guards, armed with Type 38 rifles, went to the streets to notify the villagers to gather outside the police station.
Hundreds of villagers gathered outside the police station and looked at Ke Jing with confused expressions.
"Captain Ke, why did you call everyone here so early? Have there been any developments?"
"Yes, have you dealt with those monsters?"
The questions from hundreds of villagers came flooding in.
Ke Jing's head instantly ached. He had dug his own grave.
"Ahem, I, the captain, have found a way to deal with the monsters. Please rest assured, everyone."
"As for those monsters, they died after being infected with a fatal mother-child man-eating worm, which allowed them to move even after death."
Ke Jing utilized his special skill and began to deceive the hundreds of villagers.
He tried to make the story sound as mysterious as possible to fool them.
"Then why did you call everyone here?"
"Don't rush. The fatal mother-child man-eating worm was raised by a woman from Miaojiang."
"This Miaojiang woman is very likely hiding among the crowd. Aren't I looking for the culprit?"
After speaking, Ke Jing walked up to Shi Jian and asked if there were any Miaojiang witches among the villagers.
"Daoist Master, have you found anything?"
Shi Jian did not respond but glanced at Li Xuyan beside him.
Li Xuyan scanned the villagers with his Yin-Yang eyes. After a few seconds, he shook his head.
"No. Impossible!"
Shi Jian looked at the villagers present, none of whom were women from Miaojiang, and began to ponder.
The mother worm couldn't be too far from the child worms. Unless the Miaojiang black witch had given up and left Longquan Town last night.
However, after losing so many corpse蛊 last night, how could the Miaojiang witch willingly leave Longquan Town without seeking revenge on Shi Jian and his group?
Furthermore, there was a possibility that some had escaped and had not come to the police station.
"Ke Jing, are you sure all the villagers are here?"
Seeing Shi Jian's question, Ke Jing turned to look at the security team behind him.
"Daoist Master is asking if everyone is here?"
"By the way, Captain, there's a disabled woman who couldn't come to the police station, so we didn't force her."
Upon hearing the security team's words, Shi Jian said, "Let's go. Take me to see that woman."
Afterward, Ke Jing, Shi Jian, and his disciple followed the security team to a guesthouse.
Some onlookers also followed closely, wanting to see what was happening.
"Daoist Master, the woman is inside."
"Master, there are蛊 insects inside."
Before Shi Jian and his group could enter, Li Xuyan had already seen the situation inside the guesthouse with his Yin-Yang eyes.
Upon hearing about the蛊 insects, the security team instinctively raised their guns and cautiously entered the guesthouse.
Suddenly, a woman rushed out, wielding a long saber and charging at everyone.
Fortunately, the monk walking in front of the security team reacted extremely quickly and used his Zen staff to knock the long saber out of the woman's hand.
"Wait a moment, don't shoot yet."
Just as the security team was about to open fire, Shi Jian, who was beside them, stopped them.
"Daoist Master, why didn't you kill her?"
"The witches from Miaojiang are not that stupid."
Shi Jian replied and then quickly rushed to the woman's side, using his finger blood to draw a talisman on her forehead.
The next moment, the woman spat out a purple蛊 insect.
"This is not the mother worm of the corpse蛊!"
Shi Jian looked at the purple蛊 insect on the ground, his expression extremely solemn.
"If it's not the mother worm of the corpse蛊, then where is the mother worm?"
"Never mind, this woman in front of us is definitely from Miaojiang anyway."
Ke Jing raised his gun and wanted to shoot the woman on the ground a few times.
"She's just a scapegoat, not a woman from Miaojiang. Killing her is useless."
Shi Jian, with Li Xuyan, turned and left the guesthouse, returning to the police station.
"I think what the Daoist Master said is right."
The monk walked up to Ke Jing and fully agreed with what Shi Jian had just said.
