Chapter 69: The Murderer

Three days were fleeting, the ten-day deadline had arrived, and before noon, a large group of people appeared on time in Fengheng's medicine garden.

Feng Heng was naturally waiting in the garden for a long time, and saw that in addition to Elder Wu, there was another old man who looked similar to Elder Wu in terms of age, and it seemed that his position was still above Elder Wu.

Feng Heng hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Elder Wu nodded slightly, "This is the fifth elder of the Dan Hall, who is currently in the realm of the Dan King, and the Yuanli realm has also reached the king, so don't give the salute yet." ”

Feng Heng hurriedly saluted and said, "Disciple Liuyun greets the Fifth Elder!"

The fifth elder's face was a little arrogant, and he smiled slightly, "The face is calm, the aura is stable, you are a talent, I heard that you tossed the medicine garden very lightly, I was curious and came over to take a look." ”

Feng Heng smiled, "The Fifth Elder praised it. ”

The five elders also smiled, "Who did you study under before?"

"It's... The disciples did not have a master on the way to Dandao, and they were all self-taught. ”

"Self-taught?"

"Yes, the disciple's family started from the medicinal herb business, so there are more books in this area at home, and I read a lot in my spare time, so I learned a lot of miscellaneous things. ”

The fifth elder raised his eyebrows, "If you have learned a little miscellaneous in the book, you dare to toss with the valuable medicinal materials of the sect, your courage is not small!"

Feng Heng couldn't hear whether he was blaming or appreciating, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

The fifth elder waved his hand, "Seeing is believing, lift the curtain." ”

"Yes. Feng Heng nodded in response, and slowly lifted the curtain on the Yang Spirit Grass one by one.

The first time the five elders saw it, they didn't have any special reaction, but Elder Wu and the others were all stunned when they saw the current situation of Yang Spirit Grass, and their faces were full of disbelief.

The Fifth Elder naturally saw their reaction as well, and said to Elder Wu, "What, is there something wrong?"

"This..."Elder Wu didn't know how to describe it, "This is really incredible, the Yang Spirit Grass in this garden now is simply reborn compared to ten days ago, how did this happen!"

"Oh?" The fifth elder was also slightly taken aback when he heard this, walked over and took a closer look at the Yang Spirit Grass in the garden, and said, "The stems and leaves are full and the medicinal power is strong, and they are indeed rare and good medicines. ”

Elder Wu said: "The Fifth Elder doesn't know, ten days ago, this herb was not like this at all, although there were some good ones, but the middle level was the most, and there were even many inferior ones that were about to wither, but now they are all full of vitality, this is really incredible." ”

The fifth elder smiled, "There is nothing strange about it, as long as you understand the habits of medicinal herbs, and use light and nutrients properly, you can naturally have such an effect, it seems that this disciple is not simple." ”

Elder Wu nodded, "However, as usual, we still have to check the number, because almost all of the Yang Spirit Grass in this medicine garden has been transplanted by him, and it is inevitable that it will be mutilated." ”

Feng Heng hurriedly said, "That's nature, please ask the elders to check it." ”

Elder Wu nodded appreciatively, and Zhao Yu and the others in the back hurriedly came up to count the number when they heard this.

A few people obediently waited for the disciples to count, and Elder Wu looked at Feng Heng with a confident face and said, "It seems that the old man was right to trust you that day, and you didn't disappoint, not bad." ”

Feng Heng hurriedly said: "Speaking of which, it is all thanks to the elders for giving the disciple this opportunity. ”

Elder Wu nodded and smiled and was about to say something, but he saw Zhao Yu on the side with a somewhat strange look at Feng Heng before he stepped forward and said, "Elder, the original number of Yang Spirit Grass in this garden is 1,260, and now... There are only 1,252 plants, a whole eight plants missing!"

"Huh?" Elder Wu and the five elders on the side were all stunned, and Feng Heng's face also changed.

"Count it again. The Fifth Elder said lightly.

"Yes. Zhao Yu hurriedly ordered a few people to count again.

Practice makes perfect, and these disciples have their own unique method because they do this kind of work all year round, and they can count quickly and without making mistakes, and they have never counted twice.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhao Yu said again: "Elder, there are indeed only one thousand two hundred and fifty-two plants!"

The fifth elder nodded, then turned to look at Feng Heng and smiled, "Do you need to count it again?"

The complicated look on Feng Heng's face when he heard this suddenly swept away, and said with a smile: "No need, there are only so many here, because the other eight plants are already ripe, and the disciple has already picked them." ”

"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and the fifth elder said, "Take it out and take a look." ”

Feng Heng nodded, reached into his arms and took out a brocade box and handed it over, "The other eight are inside, please check it by the elders." ”

The fifth elder stretched out his hand to take it, took the brocade box and looked at it left and right, glanced at Feng Heng quite meaningfully before opening the box lightly with a smile, everyone was curious, and naturally they all came over to take a look, and saw that there were indeed eight herbs wrapped in a layer of platinum paper in the box.

The five elders picked up one and opened it gently, only to see that it was indeed the Yang Spirit Grass, but this Yang Spirit Grass did not look like it had been picked at all, but as if it was still growing in the soil, with full branches and leaves, fresh colors, and a high-grade condition.

Feng Heng said lightly: "The most important thing about this Yang Spirit Grass is the trace of yang intent between the branches and leaves, it is like the soul of Yang Spirit Grass, if it is preserved by ordinary herbal methods, although its medicinal properties are still there after the stems and leaves are dried, but the trace of yang will be lost, if it is preserved by freezing method, the cold qi will clash with its medicinal properties, so the disciple specially designed this medicine box, which can completely preserve the medicinal properties of Yang Spirit Grass and the trace of yang intent." ”

While listening, the Fifth Elder reached out and stroked the Yang Spirit Grass in his hand, and said with a smile: "Good, very good!

Everyone looked at Feng Heng with some envy when they heard this, Feng Heng smiled slightly and did not speak.

Elder Wu pondered for a moment, "No, Liuyun, I'm afraid there's something going on here, you obviously have those eight herbs in your arms, why didn't they take them out when they counted them for the first time, but didn't take them out until after the second time, could it be that you originally wanted to swallow them privately?"

As soon as he said this, everyone in the group also came back to their senses, this matter is indeed a little strange, many people present have seen the change in his face before, could it be that this kid really wants to swallow it privately, but he was reluctant to take it out when he couldn't hide it later?

Embezzling medicinal herbs is self-theft, which is a major crime that cannot be forgived here, if this crime is confirmed, I am afraid that Feng Heng's merits today will not be able to offset it.

Feng Heng looked calm, "Elder Hui, there is a reason why the disciple did this, speaking of which, these eight medicinal herbs were not picked by the disciple, but were picked by others, and Senior Brother Zhao Yu was also asked to explain this matter." ”

"Oh?" Elder Wu was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Zhao Yu, "What the hell is going on?"

Zhao Yu glanced at Feng Heng before he spoke: "Elder, here's the thing, yesterday Senior Brother Liuyun came to the disciple and said something very infuriating, someone came to Liuyun's medicine garden three days ago, and cut off the eight medicinal herbs that were about to mature in it, the purpose was naturally to harm the junior brother, although Senior Brother Liuyun didn't know who did it, but he also had some guesses in his heart, he suspected that the despicable villain was among these people today, so he asked the disciple to accompany him to play a play, the purpose was to let the murderer show his flaws. ”

"Is there such a thing?!" After hearing this, not only Elder Wu, but even the five elders frowned, "There is such a person in my Dan Hall?"

Feng Heng Zhengse said: "If it's not that the disciple is more serious, it's really that person is too vicious, if it weren't for the disciple's family secret technique to ripen these eight Yang Spirit Grasses, I'm afraid the disciple would have died at this moment." ”

"Ripening, you mean ripening?!" Hearing this, the five elders seemed to have gone astray, and instead of continuing to question the murderer, they entangled in other things.

"It's... Yes!" Feng Heng replied a little speechlessly.

The Fifth Elder became more and more excited when he heard this, "Do you really know that legendary ripening technique?"

"It's... The disciple didn't know what to say, after all, this was the first time to use this secret technique, so..."Feng Heng stammered, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

The excitement of the five elders was already a little bursting, he glanced at the people around him, and said to Elder Wu: "Old Wu, you are responsible for investigating this matter of Liuyun to the end, and you must bring the person who did it to justice. ”

"This..."Elder Wu and the others were stunned when they heard this, what is the situation, Zhao Yu and the others were even more dumbfounded, they went directly to the Dan room ten days after entering the house, this kind of thing has never happened.

The fifth elder said: "This matter cannot be questioned, everything will be done according to what I say." After finishing, Xiang Fengheng said: "You come with me." ”

"Oh, yes. Feng Heng couldn't react a little, and when he saw that the five elders had already walked out, he had to look at everyone embarrassedly, and hurriedly followed, walked a few steps as if he remembered something, and turned his head and said, "Elder Wu, I already know the murderer, he is Xu Mu!"

After speaking, he didn't care about the stunned expressions of the people, and turned around and left.
