Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dark Fragrance of Cloud Dreams

"Who?" In the stunned eyes of everyone, Ji Xue flew outside the courtyard like a bolt of lightning, and she just felt in a trance that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation outside.

However, after Ji Xue came out, she didn't see a figure. Ji Xuexiu stood upside down, jumped ten meters high, and flew to the plane tree in front of the door to look around, but still didn't see any suspicious characters.

Suddenly, a Mo family disciple staggered from the other side, Ji Xue looked closely, and the figure flashed in front of this Mo family disciple and grabbed his throat.

"Uh-uh!" The disciples of the Mo family were pinched by Ji Xue, and they were about to be strangled to death.

Old Man Yan, Duanmu Ao, and Chen Zhong felt a little unusual, and hurriedly followed out, just in time to see Ji Xue pinching the throat of a Mo family disciple, and they all persuaded Ji Xue to put the Mo family disciple down.

Ji Xue hesitated slightly, feeling that this disciple was not the one to be sensed, so she let him go.

Duanmu Ao recognized this Mo family disciple, he first explained to Ji Xue and the other three commanders that this was the Mo family brothers on patrol, and at the same time he asked: "Little nail, panicked, said, what are you doing here?" ”

Little Nail was scared half to death by Ji Xue just now, and he replied tremblingly: "Leaders, something is wrong, there are eight disciples who are weak and foaming at the mouth, Mr. Que asked me to find three...... No, the Four Commanders. ”

The little nail saw Chen Zhong and hurriedly changed his words.

The four commanders were shocked in their hearts, it seemed that something had happened, and listening to the description of the little nail, it was very likely that he had been poisoned.

Mr. Que is the magic doctor of the Mo family, if it was an ordinary poison, he would not have asked the four commanders to go over so solemnly.

Duanmu Ao raised his eyebrows and let the little nail lead the way, they had to hurry up and take a look.

Ji Xue was still looking around, but there was no trace of anyone else around. Could it be that something is wrong? No, Ji Xue believes in her feelings, and she will never be wrong.

It's just that there are eight Mo family disciples who have been poisoned, which is not trivial at this time, so Ji Xue has to go over with everyone to take a look.

After she left, a dark shadow fell from the roof of the courtyard, a hint of mockery flashed at the corner of her mouth, and then suddenly the figure disappeared in a flash.

The eight disciples who had the accident were in a hidden forest at the entrance of the Mo family's main courtyard, and they patrolled in groups of four on weekdays.

When the four commanders came to the entrance, they first greeted Mr. Magpie.

Duanmu Ao was in a hurry, and he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Que, are they poisoned?" What is poison? ”

Mr. Que didn't look up at the four commanders, he frowned, and sighed: "It's poisoning, but the old man doesn't know what poison it is, and I don't know how they were poisoned." ”

Mr. Magpie is a miracle doctor, well-informed, and there is a poison that he does not know, let alone how it was hit, how is this not surprising.

The four commanders also stepped forward to check, but they couldn't say why.

"What a smell, it's so fragrant." Old man Yan smelled a faint fragrance of flowers and said involuntarily.

Chen Zhong smelled it, and didn't feel anything unusual, isn't it just the ordinary fragrance of mountain and wild flowers? At this time, it is the spring festival of Meng, and the flowers are blooming, isn't it normal to have the fragrance of flowers?

Duanmu Ao sniffed it and didn't smell a strange smell, he glanced at Ji Xue with a thief's eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Isn't it the fragrance on Ji Xue's body?" ”

Ji Xue glared at Duanmu Ao coldly, Duanmu Ao was a little hairy, and immediately turned his face away consciously bored, not daring to look at Ji Xue again.

"It's the aroma of licorice." Mr. Magpie said casually, and when he finished speaking, he was shaken, remembered something, and immediately ran to the river.

Old man Yan and the other four looked dazed, isn't licorice a good medicine? Why was Mr. Magpie's face so ugly, and when they saw Mr. Magpie running so fast, they hurriedly followed.

Running and running, they found that Mr. Magpie was going to the river, and they felt even more inexplicable. Licorice grows in the mountains, shouldn't you go to the back mountains to see?

When Mr. Magpie came to the river, he saw seven or eight children catching fish in the shallows of the river, and when he walked over and looked at it, his face immediately became extremely ugly, as he expected.

"What kind of fish is this, it's pretty good." Duanmu Ao picked up a small fish and turned it over and over again.

The small fish is no more than an inch long, the dorsal and ventral surfaces are smooth and spineless, and the back of the body is grayish-brown, covered with white spots, dotted like stars.

Mr. Que snatched the small fish in Duanmu Ao's hand and explained to everyone: "This fish is called the star-striped fish dolphin, and it is non-poisonous. However, when mixed with the fragrance of licorice, it becomes highly poisonous, and its poisonous name is 'Yunmeng Dark Fragrance'. ”

"Everyone in the Mo family relies on this river for daily water, and now it is sprinkled into the river with mountains of licorice, if you drink it, your hands and feet will be weak after a long time, and it will be difficult to stand."

"The eight brothers on patrol must have eaten star-striped fish and dolphins, and they inhaled a large amount of licorice aroma near the mountain pass, so they were the first to attack. Even in our bodies, there are also toxins accumulated, but they are not enough at the moment, so they have not yet attacked, if it is a few more days, I am afraid that it will ......"

Hearing this, everyone was frightened in a daze, they quickly looked at the river, and found that there were a large number of star-striped fish and dolphins in the river, which were swimming from the upper reaches of the river, and along with the fish and dolphins, there was also licorice floating on the water, and it seemed that the matter was so serious that it was beyond their imagination.

Old man Yan was very puzzled: "I have been in the Mo family for thirty years, why have I never seen or heard of this fish." If you don't eat this fish, won't you be poisoned? ”

Mr. Magpie shook his head and said, "This fish is a unique product of Yunmengze, and it must have been released by the Dark Night Organization. The secretions of the fish have been mixed with licorice, and the river water can no longer be drunk. ”

"Is there an antidote to this 'cloud dream dark incense'?"

The night is so vicious, no wonder they besiege but not attack, but I am afraid that in a few days, they don't need to shoot in the night, and none of them will be able to stand.

At this moment, another disciple of the Mo family suddenly came to report urgently, and the water source was cut off.

The upper reaches of the Mojia River flow out from a waterfall ten miles away, and the water flow is turbulent and fast, how can it be cut off?

Hearing this, the old man Yan was like being struck by lightning, and shouted: "Most of the Mo family's mechanism techniques can only be activated by water flow, and now that the water source has been intercepted, won't the mechanism technique soon become invalid." ”

Mr. Que's face was very solemn: "Not only that, the water source is cut off, and the toxins in this river water will accumulate rapidly, and I am afraid that I will not be able to drink a sip." Under the sun, the water vapor evaporates, and the entire Mo family will be the poison of Yunmeng's dark incense. ”

Duanmu Ao spread his hands and mocked helplessly: "Hey, in two days, we will all become turtles in the urn, and we will all be poisoned and thirsty to death without others doing it." ”

Old man Yan saw that everyone was a little discouraged, and he hurriedly encouraged everyone: "Don't worry, it's a big deal that we retreat to the secret hall, the secret hall organ has nothing to do with the water source, even if it is a public loss, it will be difficult to break." ”

The secret hall is the masterpiece of Qin Huali, the second patriarch of the Mo family, which extends in all directions, one step at a time, and has always been used to exercise the ability of the Mo family giants. In desperation, there is only a retreat to the secret hall, but people don't drink water, and how many days can they last?

Could it be that the Mo family is really going to die? There was a haze in the hearts of everyone in the Mo family.

Ji Xue suggested: "We must send the women, children and old people to the secret hall to be rescued first, even if we die, we will make the enemy pay the price." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, they must keep the fire, otherwise the Mo family will really be destroyed in their hands.

The evacuation operation was immediately launched, and it was not until sunset that the women, children and old people were all transferred to the secret hall of the Mo family. The four major commanders and the disciples who guarded the Mo family were also preparing to retreat in batches.

It's just that even if you want to retreat, you can't let the enemy in easily, and a life-and-death battle is coming.

Just when everyone in the Mo family was worried, the Dark Night Organization was gearing up and ready to act at any time.

The sun was in the sky, the great priest sat under the tree to rest, and the night shadow came to report: There was news from within the Mo family, and the Mo family was preparing to evacuate.

The Great Priest ordered his eyes to be closed and spit out eight words: Night falls, launch an attack.
