Chapter 103: Red Scorpion Dragon Gu
"Sir, you called me?" The woman's clear voice is very penetrating, like a lightning bolt, deeply stimulating everyone's eardrums.
This woman's name is Situ Shuang, she has been an orphan since she was a child, she was adopted by Sheng Jiangchuan and Huang Ziyuan, and after she grew up, she followed Sheng Jiangchuan and became his secretary.
Since the birthmark on Huang Ziyuan's face faded, he no longer stays at home every day like in the past, and he is accompanied by Situ Shuang when he goes out and around every day.
It can be said that Situ Shuang and Wu Qi are the closest people to Huang Ziyuan besides Sheng Jiangchuan, and they each take care of her daily life.
"Yes, has Madame been in contact with any strangers or things of unknown origin in the past two days?" Sheng Jiangchuan asked solemnly.
"No, sir." The woman replied simply.
Sheng Jiangchuan didn't ask much, obviously believing in this woman, just waved his hand and signaled that she could go out.
The woman turned around and left, closing the door, but left a clear white back in Lin Yun's mind.
Lin Yun felt that this woman was very familiar, or should it be said that she was very familiar, she seemed to have heard her voice at some point, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
Just when Lin Yun was meditating, Sheng Jiangchuan spoke again: "Ziyuan is modest, she rarely goes out, and she has no enemies at all, who will poison her?" ”
"Wait a minute, I seem to remember!" Wu Qi suddenly exclaimed, "The day before yesterday, Mrs. received a courier, and it didn't take long for her to feel unwell. ”
"Such an important matter, why didn't you say it earlier!" Sheng Jiangchuan was particularly annoyed and reprimanded, it seems that Huang Ziyuan's condition has completely thrown him out of control.
Wu Qi looked flustered, and said in a trembling voice: "I thought it was just an ordinary courier, so I didn't care, and Mrs. usually receives courier ......."
"Less nonsense, don't bring that courier yet!" Sheng Jiangchuan interrupted Wu Qi's words.
Wu Qi immediately looked around the room a few times, and soon his eyes stopped on a small cardboard box next to the windowsill, and walked straight over there.
Lin Yunjian frowned and shouted, "Wait." ”
"What's wrong?" Wu Qi turned his head ignorantly.
"Beware of poison." After Lin Yun finished speaking, he stepped forward, walked in front of Wu Qi, and looked down at the cardboard box.
This is an ordinary express carton, not very large, and there are traces of tape on it, according to Wu Qi, this is Huang Ziyuan personally opened it.
Lin Yun approached the cardboard box and smelled it, and what came to his nose was a smell of earthy earth and a little fragrance of plants.
Lin Yun realized that the carton should have contained some plants before, which Huang Ziyuan might have purchased online, or someone else had deliberately couriered her......
Lin Yun didn't touch the cardboard box, wandered around the room, but didn't find any flowers and plants, in desperation, he could only turn his eyes to Wu Qi for help.
"Does Madame usually have a habit of planting flowers?" Lin Yun asked.
Wu Qi was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "Yes, how do you know?" ”
Lin Yun didn't explain, and continued to ask, "Then where are all those flowers of hers?" ”
Wu Qi pointed out the window and said, "Most of the flowers are planted in the yard, and a small part is on the roof terrace. ”
"Let's go, take me to the terrace." Lin Yun immediately decided.
The group accompanied Lin Yun to the terrace, and looked up, there were a lot of plants here, it was the end of autumn, most of the flowers had withered, only a few green plants, and it still looked so lush.
Lin Yun's gaze swept over the plants one by one, and he was immediately attracted by the two empty pots in the corner.
Lin Yun came to the two empty pots, only to see that the soil inside was still a little damp, compared to the dry soil in the other flower pots, it should have been freshly watered.
"What's in there?"
"I don't know, it could be that Madame bought new seeds." Wu Qi was halfway through speaking, and suddenly remembered the courier, so he immediately reacted, "Could it be ......?"
"That's right, this should be what's in the delivery box." Lin Yun found a flower shovel from the side, squatted down, and carefully rummaged through the soil of the flower pot.
After a while, a few black plant seeds were revealed in the open soil, the surface was uneven, and only a little scarlet was left at the bottom, like a small insect attached to the seed.
"Cordyceps!" Lin Yun exclaimed.
"What is this?" Wu Qi and Sheng Jiangchuan showed confused expressions at the same time.
Lin Yun hurriedly shoveled up some soil and re-covered the seeds, and then explained: "This is a rare plant that grows in the snow-capped mountains of Tibet, people generally only know Cordyceps, but they don't know that this black cordyceps is a rarer herb than Cordyceps, and its qi-replenishing and life-sustaining effects are difficult to compare with even thousand-year-old ginseng." ”
"Since it is such a precious herb, how can it cause Ziyuan to be poisoned?" Sheng Jiangchuan was puzzled.
"It's not the black cordyceps itself that causes the poisoning of the lady, but there is a poison that needs to be used as a medicine to stimulate its violent toxicity!" Lin Yun said firmly.
"What poison?" Sheng Jiangchuan was excited, in his opinion, as long as he knew the name of this poison, Huang Ziyuan would be saved.
"To be precise, this is not a poison, but a poisonous Gu." Lin Yun said thoughtfully.
As soon as the word poison Gu came out, Sheng Jiangchuan's eyes widened suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and he didn't want to tell Lin Yun, he just stood there in a daze, his face became extremely ugly
In contrast, Wu Qi knows very little about poison Gu, and the little knowledge he knows is still from the TV series.
To put it simply, poison Gu is a method of using insects to poison, although the Gu technique is strange, it is not so bizarre and mysterious, far from being so bizarre and mysterious as described in film and television dramas.
According to Lin Yun's speculation, the person who went down to the Gu should have hidden the poisonous Gu in the seeds of the black cordyceps, Huang Ziyuan didn't know what to do, and when he opened the express carton, he was confused by the poisonous Gu.
In Lin Yun's memory, there was a poisonous Gu that was specifically able to parasitize the black cordyceps, and that was the red scorpion dragon Gu.
The Red Scorpion Dragon Gu, although not as famous as the Golden Silkworm Gu, is also a rare ferocious and poisonous Gu in the world.
As the name suggests, this is a poisonous Gu raised with red scorpions and poisonous snakes, similar in form to dragons, and the juvenile Gu is tiny and easy to be overlooked.
The feeding process of the red scorpion dragon Gu is quite complicated, it needs to go to the wild to catch red scorpions and poisonous snakes during the Dragon Boat Festival every year, place them in waste pottery, and then let these scorpion snakes kill each other, and the last remaining one can be used to raise.
The Gu keeper discarded the dead poisonous insects, put the things in a pottery vessel, covered the mouth of the jar with a red cloth with five-colored threads, and raised it with the menstrual blood of the hostess every month, and after a few years, it became a Gu.
After listening to Lin Yun's narration, Wu Qi couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle, his pink cheeks were full of horror, his pretty nose was slightly wrinkled, and he said, "Hey, it's so disgusting." ”
"The poisonous Gu in Madame's house should be the larva of the Red Scorpion Dragon Gu, if you want to completely break the Gu, you must kill that adult Red Scorpion Dragon Gu!" Lin Yun clenched his fists and said.
Having said that, it is not easy to find that Gu Worm in the vast sea of people.
"You're right, this is indeed the Red Scorpion Dragon Gu, and I know who ordered the poison Gu!" At this time, Sheng Jiangchuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said.
"Who is it?"
"Jiuyu!"
"It can't be!" Lin Yun was shocked.
"Have you seen Jiuyu?" Sheng Jiangchuan was a little surprised by Lin Yun's reaction and asked curiously.
Lin Yun wanted to speak and stopped, stared at Sheng Jiangchuan for a while, and then looked at Wu Qi beside him.
Sheng Jiangchuan immediately understood, and instructed Wu Qi: "Qiqi, you go and see how Madame is doing first." ”
Wu Qi understood that the two of them were deliberately trying to break themselves apart, so he didn't say much, said yes, and left the terrace.
Seeing that there were only two people left on the terrace, Lin Yun said, "Because there is no Jiuyu in this world." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Sheng Jiangchuan wondered.
"Just a few days ago, I went to see Jiuyu and injured him, and it is estimated that he will not recover in a few years." Lin Yun said as implicitly as possible.
If Lin Yun told Sheng Jiangchuan that he had not only leveled Jiuyu, but also fused and absorbed his internal strength, he would definitely treat himself as a monster again......
Knowing this fact, Sheng Jiangchuan opened his mouth wide and did not close it for a long time.
Obviously, after that day, Yuan Yang did not publicize what happened in the Angel Bar.
Lin Yun didn't want to speculate, but one thing was certain, Yuan Yang's next goal was to replace Han Hai and personally become the head of this huge force.
Thinking of this, Lin Yun asked tentatively, "Mr. Sheng, why are you so sure that Jiuyu did it?" ”
Sheng Jiangchuan didn't hide it, and replied truthfully: "Because I have seen with my own eyes, beside Jiuyu, there is a mysterious woman who is good at raising Gu, although she is covered with black veil all day long, and no one has ever seen her true appearance, but looking at the entire Jiangcheng City, who knows how to play Gu?" ”
After Sheng Jiangchuan finished speaking, his eyes still flashed with suspicion, and he didn't seem to dare to believe that Lin Yun was able to seriously injure Jiuyu.
As early as the last time Lin Yun was invited to the Sheng family's house, Sheng Jiangchuan had fought with Lin Yun, in his eyes, although Lin Yun's cultivation was not low, and he could even be said to be the best among his peers, but there was still a big gap with Jiuyu, let alone seriously injured Jiuyu.
Lin Yun saw Sheng Jiangchuan's face showing a different color, and knew that he didn't believe in himself very much......
