341, shocked
Poison is one of the most terrible things in the world. And what kind of poison is the most terrible? In fact, it is not cyanide and radiation in the perception of ordinary people, no matter how powerful the toxin is, once it is known, it can no longer cause large-scale damage, but those who are not known, have no name, and even poisoned people will not think that they have been poisoned.
Now this is the case with the Venerable Master, his body has deteriorated during this time, accompanied by various complications, but he can't find out the cause anyway, so he blames all the reasons on his own approaching limit, but in fact, he was poisoned.
As for what kind of poison he was in, Gu Tao didn't know.
What can be analyzed now should be a biotoxin, a protein toxin. Satania can analyze the composition of the toxin, but there is no way to know how it came from, and its effect is not violent, but like AIDS, it will slowly destroy the human immune system, small lesions, major diseases, and terminal diseases.
Comparing toxin samples is tedious, but at least knowing that they are poisoned, it is easy to do.
When Gu Tao told Xiu Ling about Kunlun's situation, her pretty face was frosty, her eyebrows were sinister, and the ceramic water cup in her hand was pinched out of her handprint, and the sword qi on her body was about to move.
"Don't worry."
Gu Tao sat in her detention room: "Your master is still tough, I will find out the formula of the antidote as soon as possible." ”
"I'm actually more worried about other people in Kunlun, you said that the tea you drank has this toxin in it, so can I think it's a problem with the water source?"
"I think so too."
Gu Tao thinks that no one will deliberately poison a guest, and it is a chronic toxin, in case he is still a professional player like Gu Tao, maybe he will be exposed. So the poison in Gu Tao's teacup is definitely caused by some kind of pollution.
However, he walked around Kunlun, but he didn't find anything unusual about others.
"I don't think it's necessarily water pollution." Gu Tao paced back and forth in front of the cultivator: "Is Kunlun's water source special?" ”
"Everyone drinks the same water, and the snow water of the Kunlun thousand-year-old glacier is extremely quiet."
"What about the tea leaves?"
Tea!
Xiu Ling raised his head and showed unusual panic: "Master loves tea, and he drinks Indian black tea!" ”
Gu Tao recalled, his cup of tea is black tea is very strong, the fragrance is strong, with a strong malt aroma, according to the tea origin division, this is the Indian Assam black tea, this taste is actually not very suitable for the taste of most Chinese people, so there should not be many people in Kunlun who drink this kind of black tea, so no one else has the same symptoms.
"I remember, there is also an uncle, who has also been bedridden recently, and he also drinks black tea." Xiu Ling's eyes moved back and forth, and when she said this, she slapped the case: "Bastard thing!! ”
"Don't get excited." Gu Tao stuffed a piece of candy into the cultivator's mouth: "The rice has to be eaten in one bite, I'll interrogate Fluttershy first, you can take a look." ”
"Hmm......" Xiu Ling raised his head and looked at Gu Tao: "Please." ”
"Between friends, it's boring to be too polite."
Gu Tao left and came to the isolation room, where the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was sitting nervously inside, she looked at Gu Tao who came in at a loss, her face was not very good-looking.
"Don't be afraid."
Gu Tao walked in with a record book and sat opposite her: "I'll ask you a few questions, and you can answer them truthfully." ”
"Hmm...... Yes...... Good ......"
According to her eye movement, she is now nervous and scared, and her adrenaline level is also surging, which should belong to the category of fear, this reaction is normal and there is nothing wrong with it.
Unfolding the notebook, Gu Tao glanced up at her, lowered his head and asked casually, "How old have you been cultivating since you cultivated?" ”
"I ...... Twelve years old......"
"It's been four years." Gu Tao smiled: "Have you ever been taken advantage of before?" ”
"I didn't ...... No, senior brother, he ...... He doesn't like girls. ”
Gu Tao covered his mouth and almost laughed, and Xiu Ling, who was watching through the visual device, turned red with anger: "Dead ghost ......"
"You started taking care of Xiu Ling at the age of twelve, so do you think you know him well?"
Fluttershy thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Actually, everyone says that the senior brother is very bad and cold, but no, the senior brother is very kind, and he really has no problem except that he doesn't like girls." Later, he dressed more and more like a girl, and he was ...... Also ......"
"What else?"
"She also wears women's underwear...... When he came back that day, I found out when I was doing his laundry that he was wearing women's underwear, but I didn't tell anyone. And I also found that he is now using perfume, and his chest is still bulging, so he must have a sponge. I don't know why he likes women's clothes, but he really won't kill people casually, have you wronged him? ”
Fluttershy!!
The cultivation spirit is about to explode in the next room, Gu Tao is definitely a devil, she thinks that if Gu Tao is guided like this, her past troubles will probably be shaken out, and that guy will definitely use it as a stalk to laugh at her, and the days to come will be gone......
"Alright." Gu Tao hugged his arm: "I'll start now, and I'll ask you three questions." You have to answer very carefully, it involves whether or not you can help the spiritual cultivator get rid of suspicion. ”
"Hmm!" The little girl nodded firmly.
The first question, Gu Tao asks, is what strangers she has been in contact with during this time, and Fluttershy thinks for a long time and says that she hasn't walked out of the Kunlun Mountain Gate, so she hasn't been in contact with strangers. Gu Tao uses her heart rate, pupils, hormone levels, and other signs to determine that Fluttershy is not lying.
The second question is relatively private, he asks Fluttershy if she is still *** or if she has someone she likes, Fluttershy blushes and says no, she has been in contact with the most in her life, and for her spiritual cultivation is her favorite object, but ...... Senior Brother Xiu Ling didn't like girls, which disappointed her.
She didn't lie about it.
"Then tell me now, who in the sect has asked about spiritual cultivation."
"No one...... Everyone is very afraid of the elder brother. Fluttershy ponders for a moment, "You don't usually dare to ask." ”
Gu Tao frowned: "Think again." ”
"Yes!" Fluttershy's eyes suddenly lit up, "Someone asked!" ”
"Who?"
"It's the senior brother of the senior brother." Fluttershy nodded her chin, "I'm going to bring food to my brother's brother when he's not here, he's pretty pitiful, so every time he talks to me, I talk to him, and he likes him so much." ”
Is it so gay? Gu Tao didn't want to hear it, so he asked straight to the point: "How did he ask you?" ”
"He asked me where Senior Brother Xiu had been during this time, and I said that I had gone down the mountain. He then asked me if my brother had been getting more and more beautiful recently, and I said yes. ”
"Did you tell him about the shoes?"
When it comes to the key issue, clothes or something, in fact, it is difficult to leave traces, the easiest thing to leave a mark is shoes, and a pair of shoes can often even be the key evidence in a case, so when asking this question, Gu Tao observes Fluttershy's expression very carefully.
"Like...... Yes. Fluttershy thinks about it, "I told him that Big Brother had bought a pair of beautiful sneakers with blue and white porcelain patterns on them. ”
"What did he say then?"
"He didn't say anything, and let me go back after dinner."
Gu Tao nodded: "You go and rest first." ”
"You must find a way to help Senior Brother, he is really a good person."
Without much nonsense, after letting Fluttershy go, Gu Tao returned to the cultivator and said with a smile, "Senior brother's senior brother." ”
Xiu Ling's expression was also very serious, she hugged her arms and said with a cold face: "It can't be that wasted person." ”
"Nothing can be imagined." Gu Tao got up: "Let's go, go to Kunlun again, come with me." ”
Came to Kunlun Mountain again with Xiuling, this time the people who greeted Gu Tao were much more polite than the previous time, it seems that Xiuling really has a bit of status here, but she looks a little cold in men's clothes, and she looks at people with the corner of her eyes.
"Why do you look at people like this, it's not polite at all."
"And what do you let me do? Do you wink at everyone? ”
"Hey, hey, you're like a spoiled girlfriend."
Xiu Ling glanced at Gu Tao: "I don't have the heart to play tricks with you." ”
The two of them first met Master Xuanyin, and the reason why Gu Tao brought Xiu Ling here was probably that only this apprentice could make this stubborn old man listen to him. After all, if you have a good relationship with him, it will be much more convenient to talk about cooperation with Kunlun in the future.
People are self-interested.
And when they were talking with their master and apprentice, Gu Tao consciously came to the door, fortunately, it was getting late now, most of the people in Kunlun had already rested, and there were no ignorant children coming to kick him, but some cute little mountain spirits came from all over to watch him.
These little mountain spirits should all be small pets raised here, just like the elves in Western legends, most of the little mountain spirits have two pairs of transparent wings, with different shapes and cute appearances.
"Don't mess with them."
Xiu Ling's hand suddenly stretched out from behind Gu Tao and grabbed the hand he was about to reach out to the little mountain spirit.
"Why? It's cute. ”
"They're going to spit on you."
"Ah......" Gu Tao got up and withdrew his hand: "It's a little disgusting." ”
"Well, it's disgusting."
Gu Tao nodded: "How did you talk to your master?" ”
"Fortunately, Master didn't believe that he was poisoned, but he still agreed not to drink tea for the time being."
"That's okay, let's go see Senior Brother's Senior Brother first."
Xiu Ling hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement. The two of them crossed the Kunlun Mountain Protection Formation and walked to the place where the person was held, and when they stood at the entrance of the cave, Xiu Ling's brows were furrowed, and he looked full of disgust, as if he didn't want to go in at all.
"Let's go in and see, there's no one in there."
No one? Xiu Ling was stunned for a moment, pulled Gu Tao and rushed into the cave.
Sure enough, after entering the familiar stone room, it was really empty, the oil lamp on the table had been burned dry, the bedding on the bed was stacked in a mess, and some of the belongings belonging to the man had disappeared.
"Impossible...... Impossible......"
The cultivator muttered to himself.
"What's impossible."
"He was so discouraged that he couldn't withstand the cold, and he would freeze to death within a few moments of walking out of the house."
Gu Tao really can't understand the spiritual cultivation, I don't know whether she is simple or sand sculpture is good, what is impossible when the people are gone, is it possible for adults to disappear out of thin air? And what kind of skill is lost, this is the concept of nonsense in martial arts, the test data of special proteins that exist in the bodies of people like Xiuling and Xin Chen is very interesting, they can be inactivated, but once reactivated, they can quickly recover their state, so when the senior brother's senior brother was reactivated, Xiuling should not be aware at all.
She's been played!
But what can I do if I am acted? This is outside the Kunlun Great Array, surrounded by reckless mountains, this vast mountains and all the time wind and snow want to hide a person or cover a person, it is just like playing.
Fluttershy says that the last time she saw the man was last Saturday, so it's likely that he left Kunlun after that meal. Speculating with the most evil thoughts, the man, after receiving the information of Xiu Ling, went to SH, the last city she appeared, and then imitated Xiu Ling to create a massacre.
So the question is, what is he trying to do?
Gu Tao has more than a hundred intentions that can be derived, but the most likely is to make Xiu Ling become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats. But what's the point? The only meaning that Gu Tao could think of was to use spiritual cultivation to attack his credibility and prestige.
But he didn't have a grudge against that guy, he hadn't even seen it, why did that man come to toss himself?
Is it simply because you're jealous?
The reason will definitely not be like this, but there is no doubt that the first suspect in this matter has changed from a spiritual cultivator to that man, and when he looked at the spiritual cultivator next to him, Gu Tao was surprised to find that there were tears on her face.
"Crying?"
"It's okay...... Xiu Ling took a deep breath: "I just didn't expect it." ”
"What didn't you expect?"
"I didn't expect him to do such a thing." Xiu Ling sobbed for a while, then planted his head on Gu Tao's shoulder, wiping his tears with his clothes.
Gu Tao stood in place with his hands in his pockets, his mind was running wildly, and he didn't care about Xiuling's behavior of wiping tears and snot on his clothes, and after she finished crying, Gu Tao squinted his eyes and said seriously: "Things may not be simple. ”
"Why?"
After Gu Tao told her all his thoughts, Xiu Ling was also quite puzzled, after all, he could still say the past to take revenge on himself, but what does this matter have to do with Gu Tao?
"Look." Gu Tao stretched out his hands: "If I deal with you, Kunlun and I will be finished, if I don't deal with you, I will be finished with other sects." ”
"Hmm." Xiu Ling nodded: "Murder and punishment." ”
"But this grandson is too underestimating the heroes of the world, right?"
