Chapter 10 Mercury cinnabar

After the blindfold was removed, Ji Qingyi and He Qingyi adjusted to the bright light, and the disciple made a gesture of invitation, and left by himself.

Ji Qingyi took out the pill given by the obscene sect leader just now and sniffed it, sneered and said, "No wonder I want to divide the pill into ten small parts, if I swallow it whole, I guess I will die on the spot!"

He Qingyi glanced at Ji Qingyi in surprise, shook his head and said, "Impossible!" If it's the kind of poisonous thing you said, then how could the sect leader be so relieved to hand it over to us? ”

"How about we do an experiment?"

After Ji Qingyi finished speaking, no matter how He Qingyi reacted, he pulled the corner of his sleeve and walked in the direction of the Jin Palace. As he walked, he said, "Those who follow behind should quickly go and help me prepare a kerosene lamp, a handful of cinnabar, a bluestone bowl, four taels of aconitum fritillary, white peony and two taels of sulfur."

He Qingyan's eyes widened. How did he not know that there was someone behind him? That slave can be so bold? Follow the Jin Wangfu as the housewife? Looking back and forth again, his neck was stretched and sore, and he didn't see half of the slave hair.

Ji Qingyi pulled his clothes violently and said, "Let's go, you can't see them."

When I returned to the palace, everything was really ready, and it was neatly stacked on the middle of the courtyard. It seems that they should all be of the highest quality.

Although things look pleasant, the dark-faced man standing next to me is not very wonderful. Ji Qingyi glanced at him, only to see him staring at He Qingyi with a dark face, as if he wanted to poke him in a hole with his eyes. And looking at He Qingyan again, he was proud, and his nostrils were facing King Jin.

Ji Qingyi calmly retracted his gaze, ignored the two men who were fighting for the wind and eating roughly, and ordered the servants to light the kerosene lamp and drive the bluestone bowl to the fire. Put ground cinnabar inside.

"Qingyi, what is this for?"

Ji Qingyi smiled silently, and said mysteriously: "Wait a while, you'll know." King Jin, who was originally fighting for the wind and eating roughly, was not jealous at the moment, and looked at the bluestone bowl with a frown, looking disgusted and a little nervous, for fear that something strange would come out of it and hurt Ji Qingyi.

I saw that the cinnabar in the bowl, which was originally as bright as blood, quickly turned black under the heating of the kerosene lamp, and quickly turned into silver flowing beads. The eyes of the people widened, for fear that they would miss something magical.

"Well, what is this?" He Qingyun curiously touched his hand.

"Don't move!" Ji Qingyi took his hand to the side violently. He Qingyi looked at Ji Qingyi aggrievedly. Ji Qingyi let go of his hand and said, "If you want to be poisoned and die young, I won't stop you." ”

King Jin was obviously smarter than He Qingyun, and he broke a branch from the tree next to him and gently flicked it.

"It's called mercury." Ji Qingyi opened his mouth to explain.

"True to its name, like water and silver." King Jin nodded in agreement.

Ji Qingyi glanced at him, then put a little sulfur in the bluestone bowl, and then heated it, and saw that the mercury that was originally like water and silver gradually returned to its bright red. The crowd exclaimed in amazement!

Ji Qingyi poured out the cinnabar in the bluestone bowl, added a handful of cinnabar to heat it to make it turn into mercury, and then crushed the white peony and other medicinal materials into minced pieces, put them in the bluestone bowl, stirred and heated, and then saved them into pills. He Qingyun took out the pill given by the so-called sect leader, and it turned out to be exactly the same, smelling the smell, it was also extremely similar.

"This ......" He Qingyun couldn't think of what to say for a while.

Ji Qingyi sent people to find two chickens, cut the two pills in half and fed them to the two chickens, only to see that the two chickens that were originally alive and well fell down one after another, and their deaths were the same, both had swollen stomachs and bleeding from the seven orifices.

"Tsk, if someone eats this, I guess they won't survive tonight."

King Jin looked sideways slightly, he didn't expect this woman to really have two hands, it's really ...... Extremely attractive woman.

"Cinnabar is not a poison, but when it turns into mercury, it is highly poisonous. In addition, the aconitum fritillary attacks each other, and the white peony and reeds are even more poisonous. This old thing has such a vicious mind. ”

Xiao Jin looked at the things on the table, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "What purpose or motive do they have?"

Ji Qingyi hooked her lips and smiled: "Gu poison."

She put the pill in her hand: "There are Gu worms in this pill from southern Xinjiang."

He Qing snatched the pill in Ji Qingyi's hand violently: "Why do you want to take it if there is a Gu worm, why don't you put it in the box quickly."

Ji Qingyi laughed: "It's okay, this kind of Gu worm has to be put in the mouth and eaten in the stomach to be effective, and this Gu worm already has the effect of absorbing toxins."

He Qingyun always felt that he was nosy all day today, and he angrily put the pill in the box and ignored Qingyi.

Xiao Jin looked solemn, stared at Ji Qingyi and said, "You are not allowed to go to the Immortal Cultivation Society again."

Ji Qingyi was puzzled: "Why?"

Xiao Jin resisted the urge to roll his eyes and pointed to the things on the table: "It's so dangerous, how can I let you go to the Immortal Cultivation Society again?"

Ji Qingyi sneered: "What if I don't go to the people of the imperial capital?" Will you give up your life to join the club? ”

Before Xiao Jin could respond, he heard He Qingyun say, "Join? Qingyi, you want to join? ”

Ji Qingyi nodded: "Yes, but not now, it will have to wait until seven days later."

"Seven days?" , He Qingyun asked, "Why seven days?" Is there any reason? ”

Ji Qingyi pointed to the elixir: "The sect leader asked us to divide it into ten parts, it must be that this poisonous insect was sucking toxins in the human body a few days ago, and the effect was good." At that time, we went to the Immortal Cultivation Society, falsely claiming that my mother's health was improving, and we were grateful in our hearts, and we worshiped the church, so we went to join the society. When we got in, we found their nest and gave him a nest. ”

He Qingyun pondered for a moment, and then asked: "This is very good, just relying on a pill can't bring them to justice, and if you find the mastermind behind the scenes, you will definitely be able to end it."

"There must be bigger fish behind that old thing." Xiao Jin condensed his eyebrows and thought about it, this case is a little tricky.

"Why do you say that?" He Qingchen had some questions. "If there is a bigger force behind him, why is he acting so carefully?"

Xiao Jin sneered, frowned with a solemn expression and said, "If there is no more powerful force behind him, such a large-scale harm, he has a hole in his brain to do this." And the purpose of the person behind him is probably not just to kill some people. ”

The disdain in Xiao Jin's tone made He Qingyan instantly blackface. His lips moved, and he opened and said, "I am a literati, and I don't care about rude people like you!"

Xiao Jin was about to reply a few words, but was stopped by Ji Qingyi and said, "Shut up, Xiao Jin, I need to go to Yizhuang." The deaths of those men are inconsistent with mercury poisoning. ”

Xiao Jin didn't say anything more, sent a few servants to prepare things, and rubbed Ji Qingyi's head a few times, and He Qingyi's eyes were on fire when he saw it.

Yizhuang is in the east of the city, not far from the Jin Palace, and it is a short time to arrive by carriage.

As soon as he arrived in Yizhuang and pushed open the closed door of Yizhuang, Ji Qingyi felt that something was wrong, and waved his hand to signal the two who followed to stop.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jin asked softly, and He Qingyun behind him was also at a loss.

"Strangely, why are these coffins all open?" Send Qingyi asked suspiciously.

Hearing Ji Qingyi say this, He Qingyi instantly blocked in front of Ji Qingyi, and the speed was so fast that Xiao Jin was dumbfounded.

Ji Qingyi pushed him aside and walked inside, and a smell of corpses came to his face, which made Ji Qingyi, who had not been in contact with someone who had been dead for too long, couldn't help frowning. Let the accompanying minions carry the corpse out, Ji Qingyi took a homemade tongue depressor and pried open the corpse's mouth to look at it, shook his head and said, "Bring my knife over."

He Qingyi hurriedly handed over the scalpel that sent Qingyi. I saw that she untied all the clothes on the corpse with three strokes and five divisions, and just as she was about to go under the knife, her eyes were blindfolded. "Xiao Jin, what are you doing!" Send Qingyi to the fire.

Xiao Jin said coldly: "Qingyi, this is a man's body."

"So what?" As a modern woman, Ji Qingyi has no ancient thoughts of three obedience and four virtues at all.

"But you are my princess, and you are guilty of seven sins like this." Xiao Jin's face became even colder, could it be that his princess looked at other men's bodies, and he was still watching from the side?

"There are no men and women in your eyes, only life and death, what do you look like like this?" Ji Qingyi waved his hand away and ignored him.

Slowly cut open the abdomen of the corpse with a knife, and the stomach was blue-black and somewhat atrophied. Then she cut open the corpse's throat and carefully peeled off the blood vessels on the trachea, which had some dark marks.

Suddenly, Ji Qingyi turned over the head of the corpse, pulled up his ears and groped carefully behind his ears, and exhaled violently: "It's really not mercury poisoning."

"Why are you so sure?"

"The most obvious feature of mercury poisoning is a bulging abdomen, a corresponding bulge in the stomach, and an enlarged esophagus, which can lead to a red and swollen neck." Send Qingyi's explanation of the old god's presence. After a pause, he said: "This sentence has atrophied the stomach of the corpse, and there are some burnt marks in the esophagus, it is obvious that this is not mercury poisoning, and I can't tell what it is." Ji Qingyi looked at the other corpses again, indicating that they all had the same symptoms as the previous one.

"I have a guess."

"What?" As soon as Ji Qingyi finished speaking, Xiao Jin and He Qingyi immediately asked curiously.

"Could it be...... Gu poison? Ji Qingyi hesitated, but still said it. Gu is taboo in Wei State, and she herself doesn't believe that anyone will use Gu unscrupulously in Wei State.

"Gu poison?" Xiao Jin seemed to be unconvinced, and his tone was very suspicious.

"Yes, Gu Poison. It looks like a symptom of poisoning on the outside, but it's actually a Gu demon. Ji Qingyi calmly analyzed: "I'm afraid the purpose of the person behind it is not simple!"

Xiao Jin sneered: "Heh, this person is quite courageous, admire!" But he forgot the rules of this Great Wei! ”

Ji Qingyi looked around and sighed: "This Yizhuang, I'm afraid we are not the first to arrive!" Lord Jin, your governance ability is really worrying! The tone was all teasing.

Xiao Jin shook his head and ignored it.

Ji Qingyi's eyes burst out with the excitement of the tiger when he caught the prey, "It seems that it is necessary to meet this mastermind behind the scenes for a while." ”

"I'll be with you." He Qingyun, who had been silent, looked at her worriedly. She lowered her eyebrows and pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, two people are easy to do."
