Just when Jiang Liu sighed vigorously, Jiang Ming looked at the six corpses neatly on the ground on the side and fell into deep thought. Who are these six people? Why did they appear here, judging from the degree of death of these six corpses, these six people should not have been killed by Xuan Ying Youyu.

After Jiang Liu disliked it for a while, he saw that no one cared about him, so he had to run deeper into the cave to find Jiang Ming.

"I'll it! So many medicine men died in this broken ground? Jiang Liu said in surprise.

"Medicine man?" Jiang Ming didn't know what this noun meant, looked at Jiang Liu, with a face, what do you know Hurry up and tell me.

"You don't even know that? Ay! There is a mysterious family of poisoners in Xudu - the Bai family. In order to refine a large amount of poison, their family would buy a lot of slaves from remote mountain villages. And then with a small dose of poison all the way to nourish these slaves. Over time, these poison-nourished slaves will become invulnerable to poison because they are inherently poisonous. Some will lose their minds, while others will live a long life. The most important point is that most of the time the corpses of these medicine people are difficult to decompose. It can be more than a decade long. "Jiang Liu has always liked to study these anecdotes, but he didn't expect them to come in handy at this time.

Jiang Ming, who has been growing up in Zihua Palace, does not know the sinister nature of the world. I don't know how bad people's hearts can be. So he asked a very naïve question: "Why didn't the imperial court punish the Bai family?" ”

After hearing this, Jiang Liu rolled his super invincible eyes: "Please, Daizong, how unearthly fireworks you are!" The Bai family not only makes drugs, but also refines antidotes. Slaves were the lowest and least pitiful class of the country. From a certain point of view, what the Bai family did was instructed by the imperial court. ”

At that time, Jiang Ming didn't understand what Jiang Liu's words meant. His master had always taught him how to have mercy on the world, but he had never told him about the sinister nature of the human heart.

"Daizong, come and see!" Jiang Liu pointed to the nameplate hanging from the waist of the six bodies. These nameplates are the signs of the Bai family in order to record the type of poison and the time of medication when administering drugs to people.

"These six people were sent in batches for three consecutive years. The time is one year before each of the Four Temples Examination, what does this mean? Ming's hands were clasped around his chest, and he had no clue.

Jiang Liu's attention is obviously not here, for him, these things are not incomprehensible, but he doesn't want to figure them out at all. So he got up and continued to look for his fire repeater. Bypassing the dung of the Xuan Ying Yu and some animal remains, he found the crossbow he had been thinking about in a corner of the tunnel deep in the cave.

"Found it!"

He looked at the place where Mingshun's Jiang Liu's voice came from, and was in a daze. The air suddenly became very quiet, and everything was silent, except for the sound of calm breathing, which stirred the air.

I understand! Jiang Ming opened the nameplates on the six corpses and looked at the different names of the poisons - Zhan Tiankui, Hu Lan, and Distraction Mu. Intuition told Jiang Ming that the seemingly handsome young master in front of him might be able to help him solve this puzzle.

"Jiang Liu, do you know what the special poison is among the three poisons?"

Jiang Liu hugged his fire repeater and walked over with a pout. He is a big young master, and he is not a pretend, and now he has to come over for an autopsy. It's unlucky, huh!

"Lead, Thunder Vine, Forehead, and, and," Jiang Liu didn't remember after looking at it for a long time, so he had to use the small knife he carried with him to make a small opening on the medicine man's body and smell the rotten flesh. "And an artemisia on the snow."

Sure enough, as he expected, these three poisons were all special poisons recorded in ancient books and classics for the production process of soul incense. So is it possible to guess that someone killed these three poisonous people and sent them here. It is to refine the soul dementor incense before this year's four halls will be examined. Then deliberately let the Xuan Ying Yu go berserk.

In the end, since there was really no special discovery, Jiang Ming and Jiang Liu finally chose to leave Xuantian Pond.

Jiang Liu, the eldest young master, chattered non-stop all the way, and after leaving, he ran away as soon as he slipped away. Jiang Ming returned to Zihua Palace with a stomach full of questions.

Jiang Ming sat alone in the Xingchen Pavilion in Zihua Palace in a daze, he lay on the platform of meditation in the center of the Xingchen Pavilion, looking at a pair of calligraphy and paintings with exquisite clothes above his head. All I was thinking about was everything that happened in the Xuantian Pond today.

The people of the Demon Dao have been paving the way for such a conspiracy for so many years, and when they think about it like this, they are really simple. Jiang Ming's mind was full of this matter, so that the little girl sneaked in without noticing.

"Guess who I am?" A seemingly majestic voice said slowly.

Jiang Ming's eyes were blindfolded from behind, but he still recognized it in a second: "Don't make trouble, Qixia." ”

"Cut! It's not interesting," the little girl pouted and made a detour in front of Jiang Ming, "It's not fun to be recognized by you every time." ”

Jiang Ming smiled, moved to the side, and made way for the little girl.

"Brother Jiangming, what are you thinking? is so engrossed, didn't you fall in love with the little senior sister of the Fuhua Palace? The little girl said with a smile on her face, on weekdays, her favorite thing is to tease his little brother. Every time he looked at Jiang Ming's face that had become a little red due to embarrassment, Qi Xia would feel extremely happy.

"No, thinking about something that happened today."

Little girl, it was immediately clear that she was going to have something on her mind. With a serious look, it is rare to see his little brother show such an expression.

Qi Xia pointed his fingers in the depths, gently poked Jiang Ming's head, and asked with bent eyebrows: "What can make Brother Jiang Ming annoyed like this?" ”

Jiang Ming looked up at the little girl's pink face, reached out and touched her head. Jiang Ming recounted all the things that happened in Xuantian Pool today. Jiang Ming's eloquence is not superior, but he tells the taste of the story, and the little girl listens to it with relish, so she almost takes some pastries and puts them in front of her.

"I didn't expect so many things to happen in one of the four halls." After listening to the story, Qi Xia turned his big round eyes.

Jiang Ming remembered something temporarily, so he took out a small white medicine bottle from the spiritual source and handed it to Qi Xia.

"This is the blood of the Xuan Ying Yu?"

Jiang Ming nodded.

Bai Qixia opened the cap of the bottle, sniffed it gently, and then took out a silver needle and dipped it in a few drops of blood. Place it on top of a white handkerchief. The moment the blood touched the veil, it turned the color of scorched earth. The little girl found a tea bowl, covered it with a handkerchief, and poured it from the scorched earth with realgar wine. After some fiddling, I took off the handkerchief, and saw a lot of white insects writhing in the tea bowl, which was very disgusting.

"What is this?" Jiang Ming looked at the contents of the tea bowl and shrunk his neck with a look of disgust.

"Nanban's worm Gu. In addition to psyllium, pull, thunder wilfordii, and artemisia on the snow, there are also Tianshan Snow Lotus and Seeing Blood to seal the throat. Among them, psyllium is a poisonous weed that is needed in the medicine when the demon devil uses it to strengthen the toxicity of other poisons. And the Tianshan Snow Lotus and the Blood Seal Throat, one grows in extremely cold places, and the other grows in humid and sultry areas. It was used by a certain tribe in Nanban when it was used to make poisonous insect Gu. Qi Xia explained to Jiang Ming while fiddling with the silver needle.

"In other words, now the Demon Dao, the Demon Dao, and the Southern Barbarian tribes are all involved in this matter."

"Brother Jiangming, not long after the beginning of Daxia, the foundation of the country was unstable. It is difficult to ensure that some powerful ministers and courtiers will do evil. Qi Xia suddenly said something to Jiang Ming that was not what he asked. But it was like throwing a boulder down Ming's heart, stirring up ripples layer by layer, and the aftermath rippled.

"What do you mean?"

Bai Qixia still looks ignorant of the world, but he speaks a lot of young and old words. "Brother Jiangming, there is a prince named Sima De in Lingnan. He was originally the son of a concubine and was not eligible to inherit the title. Do you know how he ended up on the throne? ”

Qi Xia looked at Jiang Ming's silent appearance and continued: "Great Xia has a strict ruling class, and there is no exception at all. Sima De found the curse method in ancient books, ran to Kunlun Mountain, and sacrificed his mother to the fox demon Zihuan. and exchanged the lives of one hundred and eight slaves for a way to ascend to the throne. Later, the fox demon Zihuan let the plague run rampant in the Lingnan area, and most of the Sima family died of the plague. In the end, the only one who could logically inherit the throne was Sima De. ”
