Chapter 118: The Origin of the Poison
After dinner, Lin Zainan called Yun Ruoyan and Yun Moxiao into the alchemy room.
He took out a porcelain vase and poured the liquid inside into a porcelain dish, the dark red and black liquid flowing on the white porcelain dish, emitting a strange fishy smell.
"Ancestor, what is this?" Yun Ruoyan asked.
Lin Zainan did not immediately answer Yun Ruoyan's question, but took out a silver needle and submerged the tip of the silver needle into the liquid, and the silver needle turned black in an instant.
"What kind of poison is this, it's so powerful!" Yun Mo Xiao smacked his tongue.
Lin Zainan carefully pinched the silver needle, and the eyes of the three of them fell on the silver needle, and the slender silver needle was already half dark.
"This is the poisonous blood forced out of Ruoyan's body. Lin Zainan said slowly.
Yun Moxiao and Yun Ruoyan were both stunned, and when they looked at the poisonous blood in the porcelain plate on the table, the blood in their chests was surging.
Yun Moxiao slammed his palm on the table, "Who the hell is it that used such a vicious poison to harm Ruoyan!"
"Brother. Yun Ruoyan turned to look at Yun Moxiao, her face solemn and sad, "There is one thing that my ancestor will tell you personally now, you must be calm." ”
Yun Moxiao's brows furrowed slightly, before coming to the Lin family, Yun Ruoyan told him that he had something to tell him. Then on the road, Yun Ruoyan told him about his poisoning.
Yun Moxiao thought that what Yun Ruoyan wanted to tell him was that she was poisoned, but now looking at Yun Ruoyan's expression, it seems that what Lin Zainan wants to tell him next is more serious than Yun Ruoyan being poisoned.
"Grandfather, you can say it. "Although Yun Moxiao has an impulsive temperament, after all, he grew up in the army, and he is absolutely calm when he should be calm.
"Xiao'er. Lin Zainan said in a deep voice: "Your mother was poisoned to death!"
Although he had already made mental preparations, and although he told himself to be calm no matter what he heard, Yun Moxiao still stood up suddenly, and his hands were tightly clenched into fists.
"Grandfather, you said that your mother was ...... Killed!?" he asked.
"Xiao'er, your mother, my daughter was poisoned to death. Lin Zainan repeated: "The poison in her is the poison in this porcelain plate, that is, the poison in your sister!"
Yun Moxiao moved his gaze to Yun Ruoyan, Yun Ruoyan nodded and explained: "When that person poisoned my mother, my mother was already pregnant with me in her womb, so this poison passed from my mother's body to my body, and I was a fetal poison." ”
"This poison is not only vicious, but also weird. Lin Zainan continued: "The incubation period is very long, and there are almost no signs of poisoning in the early stage, but once the poison occurs, there is almost no cure. ”
"Fortunately, if Yan is fatal, he can get the antidote in the royal secret realm, otherwise when the toxin on his body explodes, the consequences will be really unimaginable. Lin Zainan couldn't help but sigh.
Yun Moxiao tried his best to suppress the blood in his chest, and he smashed his fists on the wall together, and the entire house seemed to be shaken.
"I will find out the person who poisoned him and break him into ten thousand pieces!" Yun Moxiao's voice suppressed anger, hatred, and strong killing intent.
Yun Ruoyan and Lin Zainan felt the spiritual power surging in Yun Moxiao's body, and were pleasantly surprised to find that Yun Moxiao's swordsman cultivation had reached the level of eighth.
Lin Zainan looked at his granddaughter and grandson in front of him, one of them was thirteen years old, the other was eighteen years old, one was a seventh-level peak cultivation of the Imperial Sword Master, and the other had already reached the cultivation of the eighth level of the Imperial Sword Master. Looking at the entire departure country, it is difficult for the two brothers and sisters to find opponents among their peers.
While Lin Zainan was relieved, he decided to tell Yun Ruoyan and Yun Moxiao all the clues he had just found.
"During this time, I have been researching the origin of this poison. Lin Zainan said, turning around and taking out a book from the wooden shelf behind him.
Lin Zainan put the book on the table and unfolded it, and Yun Ruoyan and Yun Moxiao set their eyes on the book with Lin Zainan's movements.
The book is simple and heavy, the pages are made of silk cloth, you can see how old it is from the faint color, and there are five gilded fonts on the cover of the book, which is called Shen Yuan Alien Record.
The Abyss Continent was originally not composed of four countries, but many people of different races, and this Abyss Alien Record is a book that records those ancient races.
Lin Zainan gently flipped through the book industry and said, "By analyzing the medicinal properties of the poison and the smell, I judged that the poison did not come from the homeland of the country. After reading a lot of ancient books, I finally discovered the origin of this poison in this book. ”
As Lin Zainan's voice ended, he stopped turning the book, pointed his finger at the page, and said, "This is it." ”
Yun Ruoyan and Yun Moxiao couldn't help but get closer, there were pictures and texts in the book, the pictures were all kinds of poisonous insects and poisonous weeds that Yun Ruoyan had never seen, and there were some strangely dressed people.
The text is some record of an ancient race, which is an ancient Wu tribe living in the deep mountains and old forests of the Yue Kingdom.
There are many poisonous insects and poisonous weeds in the deep forest, and they use these poisonous insects and poisonous weeds to make various poisons.
Among them, there is an introduction to the poison of the child and mother, which is very similar to the poison in Yun Ruoyan.
"This poison is latent, how long it is latent depends on the physical condition of the mother and child, the mother is strong, the son dies first, the mother dies first, and the mother and child must not live and die together. Lin read the text out.
If the mother is strong, the son will die first, and if the child is strong, the mother will die first. How much this poisoned person hates their mother and daughter!
"This poisoned person must have hated his mother very much. Yun Ruoyan looked at Lin Zainan and said, "Ancestor, I have always suspected in my heart that it was my mother who was poisoned by the second aunt An Clan. ”
Yun Moxiao looked up at Yun Ruoyan suddenly, "You said it was the mother who was poisoned by the An family?"
Yun Ruoyan shook her head, "I just suspect it, and there is no evidence." ”
"Although An's motive is harmful to Yuemei, it is unlikely that she will be poisoned. ”
Lin Zainan shook his head slightly and said, "Yuemei was poisoned during the period of Huai Ruoyan, and the An family was also pregnant with Liujia at that time. And at that time, Yun Lan was quite thoughtful in protecting Yuemei, An was just a concubine, and it was almost impossible to poison Yun Lan under Yun Lan's nose with her ability. ”
Yun Ruoyan listened to Lin Zainan's words, and also felt that if the An clan was poisoned, it would be impossible for Yun Lan's shrewdness to not notice it for so many years.
"If it's not An's, who else would it be?" Yun Moxiao muttered to himself.
The three of them fell into silence for a while, Lin Yuemei had never been bad with anyone, if it wasn't for the only An clan who harmed her motives, who else would there be?
"I think if you want to find the murderer, you have to start with poison. After a short silence, Yun Ruoyan spoke: "This poison is produced by the Wu clan of the Yue Kingdom, so we should start with this Wu clan." ”
Lin Zainan sighed: "I asked a friend of the Yue Kingdom to investigate this Wu clan early in the morning, but the news that came back was that this race had disappeared many years ago. ”
"Disappeared?" Yun Ruoyan and Yun Moxiao said in unison.
In fact, Lin Zainan's investigation lost clues from here, and the three fell silent again.
Yun Ruoyan flipped through the Shen Yuan alien record casually, and then suddenly saw a text, which introduced that this ancient Wu clan had split several times because of differences in beliefs, and some of the clansmen had left the tribe.
"Ancestor, this part of the Wu clan who split off from the clan is likely to have mastered the secret recipe for making poison. ”
Yun Ruoyan speculated: "And the poison in my mother could not be from the hands of this part of the descendants of the Wu clan who split off." ”
"Quite possibly. ”
Lin Zainan thought for a while and said, then he pointed to the text and read: "Some people in the Wu clan believe in the Nine Heavens Immortal Buddha and beg for immortality. Others believe in reincarnated Buddhas and beg for future lives. The two faiths were irreconcilable, which eventually led to the division of the Wicans. ”
Yun Ruoyan gently flipped the pages of the book, and then read: "The clansmen who believe in the reincarnated Buddha moved out of the place where the clansmen have lived for generations, and after moving out, they scattered all over the Shenyuan Continent and lived a wandering life. ”
"According to the meaning of the book, it is likely that the person of the Wu Clan will leave the country?" Yun Moxiao asked.
"Not impossible. Yun Ruoyan answered: "Yes, there must be, and the poison in my mother's house must also come from their hands, so finding him or them now is the key to finding the murderer." ”
"It's just that the country is so big, to find them is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack. Yun Ruoyan sighed slightly.
Yun Moxiao said with a firm gaze: "Even if the water of this sea is drained, I will find them out!"
"Look here. Lin Zainan pointed to a picture and said.
The two looked at the picture and saw that it was a seated statue of Guanyin and the Buddha back to back, and the accompanying text below introduced that this picture was a portrait of the reincarnated Buddha.
"Ancestor, why are there two people on this portrait?" Yun Ruoyan asked puzzled.
Lin Zainan continued to read the text introduction, and then spoke: "The reincarnated Buddha turned out to be two people, Guanyin is the worship in this life and the Buddha is the worship in the next life. Believers worship Guanyin in this life during the day and the Buddha in the afterlife at night, and they need to keep incense day and night to achieve perfection. ”
"Grandfather. Yun Ruoyan's mind flashed, and she hurriedly spoke, "You said that these descendants of the Wu Clan need to worship their gods day and night, so how can they make a living?"
Lin Zainan didn't answer Yun Ruoyan's question, but asked, "Ruoyan, did you think of something?"
"Ruoyan, if you think of something, say it quickly, don't sell it. Yun Mo Xiao said anxiously.
Yun Ruoyan said: "I wonder if these descendants of the Wu clan will be hidden in the temple, only the most incense in the temple can ensure that their reincarnated Buddha will be worshipped more." ”
As soon as Yun Ruoyan's words came out, Lin Zainan and Yun Moxiao's eyes lit up. In order to make more offerings to the gods you believe in, it is possible not only to hide in a temple, but also to build a temple!
