[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that the immortal Taoist confidently told Liu Yang that he would definitely create a native for him in a hundred days. And Liu Yang believed his words and handed over the matter to the disciples of the old man in yellow to take full responsibility. On the bank of the Golden Juice River at the foot of the mountain, behind the Tanhua Temple, Mu Qingming summoned Miaole. As soon as Miao Le looked at the little powder left in the room, she knew that it was Caimenzi's secret medicine. And Long Gu also felt that the medicine powder was familiar, and after a closer look, she naturally recognized what it was. After drawing out Long Gu to explain in detail to Mu Qingming, this medicine will also flicker with a faint fluorescent light in the dark, and Mu Qingming took this opportunity to start looking for the leper monk. The group searched for these traces to the west, and it has been smooth. But when they entered the city, all the clues became chaotic and untraceable. 】

In the thatched hut, the curious gaze that burst out of the three pairs of eyes fell on Long Gu's face.

Mu Qingming's original motive for Miaole to bring Long Gu was very simple, it was nothing more than to let Long Gu be able to exercise. At the same time, she also took a fancy to her ability to hear all directions, which was also more beneficial to finding a leper monk, so Miaole brought her too.

I never thought that this Long Gu was really useful. With the knowledge of years in the ghost market, I recognized at a glance what the powder was.

It's also a windfall.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Long Gu looked around, and when she saw their curiosity, her cheeks flushed a little shyly and red. And in the face of these gazes, Long Gu felt strange and embarrassed inexplicably.

Of course, I was also a little confused, I don't know why Mu Qingming looked at her like this?

Speaking of which, Mu Qingming and the others were not only curious about Long Gu's knowledge of this medicine, but also a little expectant in their curiosity, expecting Long Gu to say more things they didn't know about this medicine.

That may be the crucial clue.

After all, interlacing is like a mountain, the dragon lock man is not a disciple of Caimenzi, the mystery in this Caimenzi secret medicine is at most a peep in the tube, but it is only half-understood, not comprehensive.

"Long Gu, you go on, tell me everything you know about this medicine." After Mu Qingming retracted his gaze, he lowered his head slightly and said in thought.

Long Gu nodded, and explained everything she knew to them without hesitation: "As far as I know, this kind of medicine needs to be inhaled into the nose by the person who is in the middle of the technique, and then it is equipped with a secret technique of Caimenzi to make the medicine take effect, so that it can cause hallucinations and paralyze the effect of the meridians." ”。

What she just said, some of Mu Qingming already knew. But the key to inhaling the nose when taking medication is the first time he and Miaole have heard of it. No wonder these powders were found in front of the bed and at the head of the bed.

The powder at the head of the bed, which is close to the pillow, is supposed to have been left by the leper monk when he was lying on his side while sleeping.

As for the floor in front of the bed, it was left when he sat up.

"The powder can even be sprinkled in the wind, drifting away and letting others inhale it in the nose. It is said that in the past, there were disciples with bad intentions who used this to abduct and sell people. is a group of people, and their behavior is quite bad and shameful to the teacher. So later, the seniors and old men in Caimenzi personally destroyed the formula of this medicine to prevent it from being used by disciples with improper mental skills to harm people. However, it was impossible to prevent it, and after the recipe and technique were still spread, I don't know how it flowed into the ghost markets everywhere. Since then, this medicine has become an anesthetic for the doctors in the ghost market. ”。

"Another reason is that this drug needs to be combined with the technique to cause hallucinations, although it sounds troublesome, but the technique is not complicated, and basically anyone who has learned a little bit of qi can use it. Moreover, the hallucinogenic effect is very good, which can effectively close the five senses of the Chinese surgeon, so for example, when encountering a patient with a broken hand or foot and needs to treat him, this medicine is much more practical than finding a few people to hold him. Therefore, it is loved by doctors in ghost markets. This is the case here in Spring City, and it should be the same in other places. Long Gu, who paused, thought about it for a while and then said: "The other subtlety is that the color of this medicine is different under different lights. The effect of the medicine does not disappear with the passage of time, unless the practitioner unravages the procedure on its own, or the powder leaves the nostrils of the practitioner. Last but not least, and I think the most amazing thing, is that this drug will shimmer in the dark, with a faint fluorescent light, much like that of fireflies. ”。

Although many of what she said seemed to have no effect, as soon as these words came out, Mu Qingming immediately blew out the oil lamp in his hand.

Suddenly, darkness came like a raging wave, flooding the house all around. In the pitch darkness, everyone present saw a faint fluorescent glow on Miaole's powder-stained fingertips.

The fluorescent light was indeed like the light of a firefly, soft and not dazzling.

Seeing this, Mu Qingming raised the corners of his mouth in the darkness and said with a smile: "I know how to find the leper monk." We don't have to look for evil spirits and clues, we just need to dive into the darkness. ”。

Except for Miao Le, his two apprentices were stunned.

Mu Qingming, who saw them in the dark, looked a little puzzled, and said: "The medicinal powder needs to be inhaled into the nostrils, and the leper monk will inevitably shake it out when he walks." The practitioner will continue to replenish the medicine into his nostrils, and will naturally shake off the powder all the way. But in the dark, this medicinal powder is flooded, and if you look for the light, you can find the leper monk. ”。

As soon as these words came out, his two apprentices suddenly realized, and they all ran out of the house in the dark, looking left and right, looking for a little fluorescent light that was not easy to detect.

Mu Qingming and Miao Le were not in a hurry, and only after a while did they slowly walk out and stand under the night wind.

"Master, even if this medicine powder is shaken, it will be very small, and the light point is not big, so it is really difficult to find." Ah Hong said as he looked around.

"Do you want to find Miaoyu, she's an expert in pharmaceuticals." Miao Le heard this and proposed.

"No, she has what she has to do; And she is an expert in medicine, not an expert in finding medicine, so let's do it ourselves. Mu Qingming said, raising his hand and pointing to the distance in front of him: "Look there." ”。

The other people immediately followed the direction of his finger and saw that more than a dozen zhang away, on the slope on the edge of the flower field, there were a few points of fluorescent light scattered in it.

"I found out when I entered the flower field before, and I thought it was a firefly, so I didn't care about it at all." Mu Qingming also looked at the grass swaying under the night wind, and the fluorescent light that was also swaying with the wind: "Now it seems that it should be the powder of this medicine." ”。

After all, if it was really a firefly, the firefly would have flown when the night wind hit. But the few bits of fluorescent light they were staring at kept swaying in the wind with the blades of grass.

The group locked the door of the leper monk's hut, and searched for the fluorescent light all the way out.

As it turned out, Mu Qingming was right. The leper monk did go all the way, and the powder in his nostrils kept falling out. Although it was not much, the people who took him away could only keep replenishing his nostrils with medicinal powder. This is to ensure that he does not break away from the illusion and from the control of the caster.

And although there are not many scattered, they still leave clues, so that Mu Qingming and them can be found.

After a while, they followed the trail down the mountain, crossed the river of golden juice, and headed for the middle of the city.

Fortunately, it didn't rain today, and no traces were washed away. The only difficulty is that there are not many powders scattered and it is not easy to find.

But there was rain in the first half of last night and the ground was wet. The caster should be a leper monk who was taken away after the rain stopped in the second half of the night, so a lot of medicinal powder was stuck to the ground or soil.

This helped Mu Qingming and them a lot.

"Master, didn't you expect that it should be the Immortal Dao evil people who did it? Why is the clue the secret medicine of Caimenzi? Ah Hong, who was looking for clues while walking, suddenly thought of this question and hurriedly asked.

"First, the way of immortality is not just evil, they are also thieves; Stealing the thaumaturgy of other strange people has become a common thing for them. After Mu Qing meditated, he calmly analyzed: "Second, maybe they want to use this method to disturb our sight, so that we think that it is the disciples of Caimenzi who have taken away the leper monk. Third, as I thought of before, the immortal Dao evil man who performed this operation was not good at the illusion of the immortal path. Only by using this simple and effective Caimenzi illusion technique can we effectively kidnap the leper monk. ”。

"I see." Ah Hong pondered for a moment, and after agreeing with Mu Qingming's views, he said with a slight chin of his head.

"In short, let's find the leper monk first, and we must not let him be made into a native by the Immortal Dao." Mu Qingming added; By the time he spoke, he could already see the city wall not far away, steeped in the night wind.

The night breeze blows through the small east gate that connects to the blue brick city wall. On the towering light-sheltering tower above the door, the copper bells hanging on the corners of the cornices swayed left and right in the night breeze.

The crisp and melodious ringtones pierce the silence under the night sky, and instead of noise, it is pleasant to listen to.

When Mu Qingming and the four of them walked in front of the small east gate, they suddenly stopped together, looked at them in front of them, and were stunned in place, a little at a loss.

"Master, it seems that we have been put on the table by the spellcaster." Long Gu was stunned for a moment and then took the lead in speaking, and said with some loss.

In addition to the quiet city gate and empty doorway in the night, there were also messy fluorescent dots scattered on the ground visible inside and outside the city gate, like stars falling to the ground, dotted on the ground in front of them.

Inside and outside this small east gate, it is the urban and rural material exchange and distribution center of Spring City. This place is very lively during the day, and the caravans of horses and caravans come in and out of the city in an endless stream, and they will also trade and trade after unloading here.

People came and went, and they trampled on the medicinal powder scattered on the ground, so that those medicinal powders were taken everywhere, forming the clues that Mu Qingming saw now that the ground was full of chaos.

Mu Qingming looked at the scene in front of him, and finally knew why the opponent wanted to take away the leper monk in the middle of the night. The second half of the night is closest to dawn, and I deliberately walked through this small east gate, just to wait for the dawn of the day, so that people will come and go to trample and destroy the clues, and become chaotic.

It seems that the opponent also knows the characteristics of this powder. deliberately brought the leper monk into the city from here, and deliberately sprinkled a lot of medicinal powder here, so that the people who came and went here during the day trampled all the clues into a disorderly manner, so that even if Mu Qingming could find a trace, there would be no trace in the future.

"It seems that the other party is not stupid." Na Ah Hong stared at the little fluorescent light in front of him, and then sighed again.

"Stupidity is not the way of immortality." Mu Qingming said and walked towards the small east gate, stood under the dark doorway, looked left and right for a long time, but there was still no trace.

The fluorescent light around the ground is too messy, even the fluorescent light on the ground in the city behind the doorway, and the same. The clue was broken at this point, and I didn't know where the opponent had taken the leper monk.

Can Mu Qingming find the leper monk? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
