Bone Soul smiled, "Just you kid is shrewd." Look at your feet. ”

According to what the bone soul said, Ding Qin looked down. However, apart from the grass on the top of the mountain and the rocks below, Ding Qin did not find anything special.

"Nothing. When he said this, Ding Qin did not feel lost, but continued to look here.

"Look a little further away. Further down. I think it's about 20 meters below your feet. Can you see that?" the bone soul's tone became serious again, "I guess this is it." If so, you're out of luck. ”

100 meters or so......

Ding Qin lay directly on the ground and poked his head out to look down. Indeed, as far as the eye can see, there is actually a plant growing there.

The plant is rooted directly in the rock wall, with broad leaves, perpendicular to the rock wall, and a pole sticks out in the middle, each of which is divided into three branches, each of which has three bright red buds. If you count them in terms of strains, there may be more than 100 of them.

"There is indeed something. Ding Qin said, "Do you feel it?"

Bone Soul smiled, "I can't feel ordinary things, but I can usually feel things with special breaths." This plant, called ghost rouge, is a natural poison. ”

"Ghost rouge generally grows on rocks with relatively constant temperatures, and the conditions here are more suitable. It grows a leaf every three years, and when it reaches the third leaf, it grows a main branch, and then branches every three years. After the three branches are divided, a bud grows on each branch every three years. It is not until all the buds have grown, that is, after twenty-seven years, that the ghost rouge has matured. ”

"However, ghost rouge cannot be cultivated artificially. Once the environment of the plant changes slightly, the immature plant will die directly, and the mature plant will release pollen and die. At the same time, when a mature plant dies, it will form a new nodule in the roots, and it can only survive and sprout if it absorbs the nutrients of the dead plant in the same environment. Plus it has a very well-developed root system, so you won't be able to grow it unless you bring a large rock home. ”

Ding Qin couldn't help but hear this, "You said so much, how do you use this thing?"

The bone soul smiled, "The rhizomes and leaves of the ghost rouge are all non-toxic, and they are even good medicinal herbs. But the large amount of pollen contained in its buds is a natural anesthetic. Inhaling pollen, no matter how high the cultivation is, will have a three-day period of sleep, and there is no antidote, you can only wake up naturally. ”

"So," there was a hint of smugness in the voice of the bone soul, "you just need to change the environment here, so many ghost rouges will release pollen together and naturally fall into the valley." The people of the valley, who do not know it, do not know it, and the demons do not know it, and they have taken your way. Three days is probably enough time for you to get those hostages out. ”

"How to change the environment?" Although Ding Qin knew that this was a good idea, he didn't think of a way for a while.

"Isn't that a very simple matter?" said the Bone Soul, "You use the Spirit Power Blade to pierce into the stone, relying on the cold aura of the Silver Moon and the Water Separation Blade itself to lower the temperature of the rock. Qingming Valley is as warm as spring all year round, and if you cool down like this, it is equivalent to a drastic change in the environment. As soon as the ghost rouge dies, pollen is naturally released. You just wait for the people below to fall to the ground. ”

With such a pointer from the bone soul, Ding Qin immediately woke up. He looked up and saw that the sun was shining brightly, and there was no sign of rain at the moment, which was a good time to release the pollen.

Pulling out the silver moon, just about to do what the bone soul said, Ding Qin put the dagger back again. He stood up and looked at the direction of the stream in the Qingming Valley, "No, I'm going to the top of the stream and put some poison." This matter must be guaranteed to be foolproof, and double insurance must be used. ”

As he spoke, he headed for the mountain above the stream.

Ding Qin himself was not a master of using drugs, so the only things he carried with him were the ones He Yan gave him at that time. It just so happens that among them, there is one called Qianmasan, which itself is suitable for poisoning in water, and the effect is slow.

Actually, if you think about it, He Yan should have put a lot of thought into preparing these poisons for Ding Qin at the beginning. Each poison has suitable application scenarios and characteristics, which can help Ding Qin deal with some of the situations that arise.

Thousands of hemp are scattered into the water, colorless and odorless, and are slowly released when they sink in the water. From entering the water to reaching the effective concentration, it should not be less than half a day. And at this time, Ding Qin can also go back and release the ghost rouge pollen.

In this way, whether it is drinking water, eating, or breathing, you may be tricked. Unless the people here really have a precautionary plan, it's unlikely that they will evade these tactics.

As the spiritual power slowly poured in, the frost around the silver moon slowly rolled down the rocks. Ten minutes later, the frost had surpassed the Ghost Rouge plant, but the buds had not changed at all.

"Doesn't work?" Ding Qin's heart flashed with a trace of doubt, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Or, are these ghost rouges really mature?"

The bone soul is confident, "What's wrong with this? Have faith, stinky boy." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the green color of the Hell's Rouge plant quickly receded. Soon, they all turned black, except for the top buds, which were even more red.

"Poof. With a soft sound, the first bud burst open, and a cloud of gray pollen sprayed directly into the air more than ten meters away.

It's like toppling the osteonomies, "poof, puff", and other buds also burst out one after another, almost forming a gray-white cloud of smoke here.

Ding Qin quickly covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel prepared in advance. As soon as he pulled out the silver moon, he jumped upwind of the mountain peak, found a good position to lurk, and closely observed the changes below.

Waiting is a long process. The pollen clouds of the ghost rouge gradually dissipated, slowly falling to every corner of the Qingming Valley.

It was getting late, and there were still torches moving in the Qingming Valley. Ding Qin didn't dare to go down to investigate easily, so he observed at the top of the valley.

It wasn't until dawn that the fire in the valley was almost extinguished. And after dawn, no smoke rises.

"I think it's about the same. The bone soul reminded Ding Qin, "Go ahead." ”

Along the mountain road, Ding Qin cautiously descended the mountain, went around to the valley mouth, and walked in not far before he saw someone lying on the ground.

In fact, not only people, but also some birds and hares, all of them were spared, and the power of the ghost rouge can be seen.

Continuing to walk inside, Ding Qin did not encounter any obstacles. Searching the rooms one by one, the people fell unconscious as if they were asleep, and there was no response even if they moved.

In a house with iron railings, Ding Qin met the hostages who were preparing blood sacrifices. Without exception, these people have also been poisoned by the ghost rouge.

In the innermost position, Ding Qin found Bi Qiuyue and He Xue. Both of them lie naturally in bed, as if they have been poisoned while sleeping.

After thinking about it, Ding Qin first turned Bi Qiuyue over and gently lifted his clothes upward. This action is a bit like insulting others, which makes the bones laugh.

Sure enough, on Bi Qiuyue's back, there were some pale cyan traces hidden under the skin, and when carefully identified, it was indeed a painting.

Ding Qin frowned and looked at it for a while, but he felt that this painting was too complicated to memorize. If you paint it in the skin, you can't peel off someone's skin, right?

After thinking about it, he went out the door, and when he came back, he had more pen and ink and white paper in his hand.

According to the lines in the painting, Ding Qin painted the entire painting on Bi Qiuyue's back one by one. After that, he spread a large sheet of paper on it, and in this way he got a rubbing.

It's the easiest way to do it, and it's the easiest way to do it.

After finishing, Ding Qin carefully removed the ink on Bi Qiuyue's back with a damp cloth and got dressed again. Taking a deep breath, he carried the dozen or so people in the room to a car outside one by one, and then pulled the car out of the valley himself.

Walking to the mouth of the valley, Ding Qin stopped, pulled out the silver moon, and carved a few big characters on a big stone:

One person does things and one person is responsible for blackmailing civilians, how can it be done by a hero, and it insults the identity of Wuyangmen and Weitianmen.

After that, he took these hostages, chose the road with fewer people, and kept going.

He didn't know if doing this would make Wuyangmen and Weitianmen give up the idea of blood sacrifice.

When these people wake up, if they really still care about the face of the two sects, at least they shouldn't use such means anymore, right?

Besides, they never revealed the identity of the sect. Now that it has been suddenly pointed out that it is Wuyangmen and Weitianmen, it should also be alarmed. Even if it was to control the situation and prevent the information of the sect from leaking out, they should stop there.

After all, they are a secret sect.

In the farmland that was relatively close to some towns and did not have any wild beasts, Ding Qin put these people down in turn, including Bi Qiuyue and He Xue.

It is estimated that they should be found soon and taken back for treatment. When they woke up, it would have been three days.

After leaving Qingming Valley for about two hundred miles, Ding Qin found a cave. He unfolded the inheritance of the Ugly Yuan Sect and carefully studied the picture.

Objectively speaking, this is a landscape painting. On the left and right sides of the picture, there is a mountain near and far, and the mountain is not high, like a small island. In the middle of the two mountains, the water is sparkling, and a small boat is floating on the water.

Farther away, the sun is almost below the surface of the sea, or has just risen above sea level, with only a line above the water.

This...... This is the inheritance of the Chou Yuan Sect?

A complete landscape painting?

Ding Qin couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

It's just such a painting that makes Rohmin choose to sacrifice himself?

This ugly Yuan Sect, wouldn't it be that the sect masters are all literati and ink writers, and they love to collect ancient calligraphy and paintings, right?

Of course, Ding Qin knew that this explanation did not make sense. Because if it is really a collection of ancient calligraphy and paintings, then the inheritance will not be like this.

Moreover, there is no shortage of calligraphy and painting in Ding Qin's home. Even if you put aside the factors that the effect is not good after rubbing, just from the perspective of the picture layout, it is not a good painting at all, it is like something that is drawn casually.

Nuo Da is an ugly Yuan Sect, and he inherited such a thing? and let himself take a risk to go to Qingming Valley?

For a while, Ding Qin's doubts were filled with vague regret.
