Chapter Sixty-Seven: Peeling Back and Peeling Back
Chapter 67
"Do you mean that the reason why the color of these two 'Xianzhen' is different is because the darker 'Xianzhen' is mixed with osmanthus stuff?"
Chu Jing understood, looked at Zuo Idiot in surprise and asked.
Zuo Idiot glanced at Chu Jing, nodded seriously, and said calmly:
"I'm not sure, but I think...... It shouldn't be bad. ”
"I see, I see! No wonder there's 'True' everywhere! Now, I can finally figure it out. Chu Jing suddenly slapped the table, and looked at Zuo Idiot with blazing eyes.
Zuo smiled stupidly, looked at Chu Jing and nodded.
When Deng Si'er heard them say this, something came to mind, but he couldn't grasp the point in a little hazy, so he had to speak:
"Slow down! I can't keep up with your thoughts, but you two should be a little clearer! ”
"Uncle Jing?" Hearing this, Zuo Idiot just looked at Chu Jing.
"Idiot, you just have to say it according to your own thoughts, I'll listen." Chu Jing smiled as if encouragingly, with appreciation in his eyes.
Zuo Idiot nodded, paused slightly, sorted out the thoughts that poured out, and then spoke, but said to Deng Si'er:
"Deng Si'er, your bottle of "Manifestation" is probably a clue left for you by someone many years ago. ”
"Clues? What clues? Deng Si'er immediately asked suspiciously.
"The truth of what happened fifteen years ago...... I guess it could be that the person who protected you back then couldn't stay with you anymore for some helpless reason, so he put the "Xianzhen" mixed with osmanthus brew on you and left. Zuo Idiot said.
"It's not that ...... something."
"Ahem! Cough! ”
Chu Jing suddenly coughed twice at this time, then glanced at Deng Si'er lightly, and glanced in the direction of Dou Ba without leaving a trace.
When Deng Si'er coughed in Chu Jing, he swallowed back the three words "treasure map" that he hadn't had time to say, but when he saw the look that Chu Jing gave him, he felt that Chu Jing's eyes were really very similar to the way Zuo Zhi looked at him.
I don't know who learned and who went!
Deng Si'er blinked and said:
"Could it be that the clue left for me is this bottle of 'Manifestation'?"
"That's right, it's because the bottle of 'Xianzhen' in your hand is different from the 'Xianzhen' originally made by the academy, so Gao Qianli will risk his death to go to the lake to fish up your bottle of 'Xianzhen'." Zuo Idiot said.
"Gao Qianli?!"
Deng Si'er was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he found his bottle after Gao Qianli drowned, and then the three of them also analyzed the matter, it turned out that the key was actually here.
"It is precisely because the 'manifest truth' in your hand is different from the real 'manifest truth' that it is possible to discover the secrets behind them, so Gao Qianli will be like this, but accidentally drowned."
Zuo Idiot paused and continued:
"Whether it is the secret potion trade in the academy, or the warehouse in the Song Mansion where a large number of 'Xianzhen' potions and several jars of osmanthus brew are hidden, they are all for one purpose, that is...... To create this unusual 'manifestation'. ”
"Do you mean that Song Yuqiu is mixing the original 'Xianzhen' potion of the academy with that osmanthus brew, and it will become this darker 'Xianzhen'? Is this potion that Big Brother Dou Ba drank in? And that scary effect? Deng Si'er understood and said with a shocked face.
"It should be right, Deng Si'er, do you remember what Qiu Qi once said about the reason why he cut off his right hand? Qiu Qi once said that he had heard rumors that drinking 'Xianzhen' could be used to stimulate people's potential, but it would make people addicted and gradually turn into madness. Zuo Idiot nodded and said.
As soon as Deng Si'er heard Zuo Idiot talk about Qiu Qi, he immediately remembered that Qiu Qi's depressed and painful look when he told the reason why he cut off his right hand, it was really sighing.
"However, the 'Xianzhen' that Qiu Qi drank was not mixed with osmanthus brewing! Why is this happening? Deng Si'er asked again.
"I think this may be the effect of the 'manifestation' created by the academy. It's just that the world only uses it to conceal handwriting, and no one has discovered this strange effect, and someone should have drunk it inadvertently, only to know that there are other uses for 'revealing the truth'. Zuo Idiot said.
"Then why did Song Yuqiu think of mixing osmanthus brew into it?"
Deng Si'er couldn't figure out too many things, but he couldn't help it, so he basically had to ask about anything he couldn't figure out.
Dou Ba nodded the same with Deng Si'er's question, saying that he also wanted to know that Dou Ba was the party involved, but as a reckless man, the place where his brain could be used was really limited.
What Zuo Idiot said had already shocked Dou Ba, but he had been sitting next to him and couldn't interject, fortunately, Deng Si'er asked a question that happened to be a difficult point that he couldn't figure out.
"Speaking of wine, you should ask Uncle Jing, he must know why Song Yuqiu would use osmanthus alone." Zuo Idiot fell on Chu Jing, who was sitting next to him and was drinking tea, and said.
Chu Jing smiled lightly, took the stubble thrown over by Zuo Idiot, and said:
"Don't you know that this osmanthus brew is a well-known "intoxicating but not intoxicating" wine? ”
"Intoxicating or not?"
Deng Si'er asked suspiciously, he was already young, and he hadn't drunk much wine at all, even the osmanthus brew was still in Song Yuqiu's house, and he drank it for the first time, how could he know about the rumors of osmanthus brewing?
"The so-called 'intoxication is not intoxicating', in fact, it is not difficult to understand, but it means that the wine made by osmanthus is not strong, and it is not easy to get drunk when you drink too much." Chu Jing explained.
"So what is 'intoxication'?" Deng Si'er saw that Chu Jing only explained halfway, and asked again.
Chu Jing seemed to have been accustomed to Deng Si'er's strong curiosity for a long time, even if Deng Si'er kept asking questions, he still patiently explained:
"If you understand that 'wine is not intoxicating', then it is not difficult to think of the meaning of 'intoxication', in fact, just like the world said, 'wine relieves sorrow', although this osmanthus brew has no wine, but it will easily make people feel comfortable, make people indulge in its fragrant and rich smell, and make people lost."
"No wonder I feel comfortable in the blood in my eyes when I am poured with that blue water! It turned out that the wine mixed in was actually the world-famous osmanthus brew! Dou Ba recalled the smell of wine in the blue potion, and it turned out to be osmanthus brew.
"That's right, this kind of disorienting effect is only the most powerful in osmanthus brewing, so Song Yuqiu will choose to use osmanthus brewing." Chu Jing nodded and said.
However, Deng Si'er's doubts did not weaken at all, but with the in-depth analysis of Chu Jing and Zuo Idiot, he was gradually able to peel back the key points that he couldn't grasp before, so Deng Si'er asked again:
"That being the case, why is it Big Brother Dou Ba?"
Since it was just to test the effectiveness of the potion, why did you choose Dou Ba?
Or does Dou Ba have anything in common with those men who are chained together?
