Chapter 5 Breaking the Game
Yun Yanzheng kept thinking in his heart, where did he seem to have seen such handwriting? The words that had been distorted on the wall lit up in the firelight, and that little bit of fire flashed into her mind, and a clue was lit up.
"See?" Gu Xi turned around and asked, seeing that she was thoughtful, he put away the torch and approached again, and invited, "Please come and have a look." ”
His words were not understood by others.
"See." Yun Yanzheng replied, and walked past Chu Ruirong.
Now that only traces of fire are left on the walls, others don't understand what else they want to see. Chu Ruirong and Yun Yanjin also followed.
Gu Xi lit up the wall with the firelight, pointed to the original location of the blood character, and whispered to Yun Yanzheng beside him: "Look, this is the word written by 'ghost'. The font is beautiful, the wrist strength is feminine, even if it is not a woman, it is also made by imitating the woman's handwriting. ”
After he said this, Chu Ruirong and Yun Yanjin realized that there were indeed some strange marks on the wall that had been scorched by the fire. Carefully coherent, it is indeed "grievances are difficult to snow, and heaven is unfair; Ghosts ask for their lives, don't complain".
Yun Yanzheng raised her hand to touch what it was, they were standing very close to the wall, and she moved quickly. Just when her fingertips were almost touching the wall, her wrist was grabbed at once, although the person's strength was light, but it restrained her movements, and the palm was slightly cool, and it seemed that there were some fine calluses rubbing against the particularly delicate skin of the wrist.
Her narrow eyes narrowed, and she turned her head to see Gu Xi's dark and peaceful eyes staring with concern, and his low and soft voice brushed over her ears at the same time with a slight breath: "These things in front of you can't be touched." ”
"What are they?" Yun Yanzheng's wrist shook, broke free from his confinement, and lowered his arm as if nothing happened. For her, who was facing thousands of troops, such contact was not too sensitive, but the obvious concern and soft tone in his eyes made her feel slightly uneasy.
When Chu Ruirong saw this scene, his eyes suddenly deepened a little. What is the identity of this person, who is so rude? But now that Yun Yanzheng is General Yun as a "man", what reason does he have to reprimand? This Gu Xi's control of the minds of the people around him and the speed of his actions actually raised the vigilance in his heart a little more.
The corners of Gu Xi's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his lips were flushed with a slight arc like a smile, and he said lightly: "These are the poisons on the border of the Great Tibetan Mountain, and this kind of insect called 'Bloodshot' likes to use it the most to hatch the first eggs. ”
As soon as he said this, the other three people shuddered.
"Could it be that these blood words are countless worms?" Yun Yanjin lowered her head and muttered softly, and couldn't help but shudder in her heart. Although he is not afraid of insects, these dense walls are enough to be cold enough just to think about it.
Chu Ruirong was even more disgusted, and his face suddenly turned white.
Gu Xi smiled slightly, and said calmly, "The prince guessed correctly, the wall is indeed crawling with insects that many people can't see clearly, and their vitality is extremely strong. The 'ghost' wrote the medicine stained with insect eggs on the wall, and the eggs kept hatching new worms, and the worms kept laying new eggs. In this way, the blood words are naturally always as red as blood, and the wriggling handwriting of the worm is a little distorted. The person who writes does not want to be contaminated with these insects, and is bound to write with a long pen, but there is not a single superfluous poison flowing on the left and right sides of the handwriting, which shows that this person has a serious habit of cleanliness for his own words. ”
After his reminder, the other three people noticed that there was indeed no trace of scorch outside the handwriting, this person wrote with a long pen, and the handwriting was not half crooked and impetuous, and the wrist strength was extraordinary. When all this was still covered under the eggs of insects on the wall, it had been understood by the young man in front of him, and the hearts of the other three couldn't help but shake.
Yun Yanjin's expression was solemn, and the answer in her heart was clear: "When these insects enter the human body, will they obey the control of the manipulator?" ”
"Well, after these Gu worms enter the body, they will quickly suck blood veins and destroy the internal organs, so they don't need to be controlled. The deceased will also go berserk due to the destruction of the mechanism, and their own death will be tragic and bizarre, and the last person who comes into contact with them will be brutally murdered out of control. Once the host is dead, the worms in the body will die out with it, in case there are undead worms and eggs from spreading, and the corpse is best buried deep and cremated. People who have been in contact with corpses and wall letters, I'll prescribe a prescription for them to take later, just in case. Gu Xi said plainly, as if the most terrible and disgusting thing was just ordinary for him.
As soon as he spoke, the other three were all palpitating, and Yun Yan said solemnly: "These Gu worms can enter the body as long as they are lightly touched? "If this is the case, isn't it impossible to prevent it, and they multiply so quickly, wouldn't it be easy for the entire Gyeonggi people to die?
Gu Xiqiqing's eyes flashed with a bright light, and he didn't need her to say anything, he knew what he was worried about. He smiled faintly at her, and said softly: "This Gu worm can't break through the skin, and is extremely particular about the warmth and coldness of survival, only by eating the pill containing the eggs first, and then they can break the pill when they get used to the warmth and coldness in their body." If it weren't for the Gu worms born in the body, they wouldn't be able to adapt to the warmth and coldness in the body, and even if they ate it, they would die because they couldn't survive. The medicine used to make these insect pills is extremely scarce, and the process is complicated, so it is not possible to refine it on a large scale and is particularly precious. The main crane thorn must survive in the stone crevices of the cliffs, and it only blooms once in 20 years, one flower at a time, and it cannot be cultivated if you want to, let alone the extremely limited number that grows on the cliffs. In this regard, General Yun does not need to worry too much about them wreaking havoc among the people, so let everyone be careful about their diet. ”
Yun Yanzheng frowned, and pondered: "Brother Gu, can you submit a detailed document about what you know about the Blood Worm Pill, so that the imperial doctors can refer to it in detail, just in case?" ”
"yes, okay." Gu Xi said warmly, his expression was calm, and he did not hesitate.
"Presumably their methods are more than this, it is better to catch these people as soon as possible, otherwise it is really too dangerous. Why did the wizards of southern Xinjiang come to our Yuecheng? Yun Yanjin's eyes were dark, and he said angrily.
Chu Ruirong unexpectedly raised a trace of vigilance in his heart, and said lightly: "Brother Gu, how much do you know about Gu poison?" ”
Gu Xi's eyebrows and eyes were warm, calm as the sky and clouds, and he also said lightly: "Gu has lived in Dazang Mountain for a while, and I feel that it doesn't hurt to learn this skill. ”
His tone was brisk, as if to say that he was bored, which he had learned by hand.
Yun Yanjin glanced at Chu Ruirong, who was choked by him, and a smile appeared in his eyes, and finally someone felt the same way with him. I thought it was unusual, but for Gu Xi, it was just ordinary.
Chu Ruirong was quite hesitant about Gu Xi's misinterpretation of his words, and the person who had always been gentle did not maintain his demeanor, and said with a slightly gloomy face: "I don't know what Brother Gu's unique views on this case are?" ”
"The envoy of Yu is the target of the murderer, planning this bloody case of 'unjust soul' and killing other people is just to confuse everyone's attention, but the envoy of Yu is not his ultimate goal." Gu Xi's eyes moved, his eyes were gloomy, his tone was low, his left hand held his right arm, and his fingers subconsciously flicked on his arm, as if he was sorting out the inextricable relationships.
Yun Yanzheng, who had been silent, his eyes shimmering in the trembling firelight.
Chu Ruirong chuckled lightly and asked, "How can you see it?" ”
Gu Xi raised his eyebrows and smiled, his eyes were unpredictable, and he whispered, "I just guessed." ”
Yun Yanjin once again saw Chu Ruirong's face turn blue, and he was choked by this person twice in a row, which was uncomfortable. He reached out and patted him on the shoulder in sympathy, as he had often suffered from this speechless choking in front of this person.
Yun Yanzheng raised his head and looked at Gu Xi fixedly, his gaze seemed to be awe-inspiring as if it had substance, and he looked into the depths of his dark eyes. A trace of concern flashed in her heart, if this young man was the one who planned the bloody case, such a plan, such courage, wouldn't it be impossible to guard against it? If this young man really has nothing to do with the bloody case, his talent and mind are really terrifying. Either way, this person's involvement in this case is extremely disadvantageous for Wei Guo.
She almost thought about it and made up her mind, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and she thanked with a smile: "Brother Lao Gu has bothered to solve the mystery here for us." The rest of the matters will be discussed in detail when Ben will go back, and the court will report the matter to His Majesty tomorrow morning. ”
Gu Xi didn't say anything, only bowed his head and smiled.
She saluted Yun Yanjin with both hands again, and said: "The aftermath here is entrusted to the prince, and the general will leave here." In an instant, he took the situation into his own hands, and eliminated the people who thought he was dangerous from this case. When Yun Yanjin's eyes acquiesced, she had already stepped back, jumped on the white horse neatly, and left Dali Temple all the way.
Under the moonlight, a white shadow galloped on the long street where no one was around. Away from Dali Temple, Yun Yanzheng did not turn back to the barracks, but slammed the reins in his hand, and the white horse neighed and stopped. She sat quietly on the horse, her eyes pierced through the void and looked at the past time, and she remembered a woman smiling lightly, and writing a beautiful long poem with a pen in her hand. The font is graceful and bright, just as impressive as her flower-like face. At that time, she leaned on her father's side, and the tips of her eyebrows were always lightly touched with a slight sorrow, graceful and moving.
Beauty has been missing for many years, why would things suddenly involve her? Who is playing this chess game? Where will the final spearhead be pointed?
At this time, this Gu Xi appeared in Yuecheng again, is it a coincidence? Or is it someone in the game?
At night, in the hazy clouds, a faint crescent moon is about to fall.
On the long, dimly lit street, she loosened the reins of her horse and let the horses move slowly.
