Entering the city from the West Gate of the White Tiger Gate of the Xudu City, it takes less than ten minutes to walk, and you can see a very magnificent city within the city - Lingdie Fort.

In the entire capital city, there are a total of four cities within the city, namely the Fire Dragon Fort near the Qinglong Gate in the east of the city, the Ice Moth Fort near the Vermilion Bird Gate in the south of the city, the Lingdie Fort near the White Tiger Gate in the west of the city, and the Giant Elephant Fort near the Xuanwu Gate in the north of the city. The four cities within the city are the strongholds of four of the five great families: the Fire Dragons, the Ice Moths, the Spirit Butterflies, and the Giant Elephants. The remaining night wolf clan is scattered in many places in the capital city all the year round, and there is no fixed place outside the city.

Among the four cities within the city, the Fire Dragon Fort is a relatively large city, because the Fire Dragon Clan is the position of the Great Commander of the Hades, so the Fire Dragon Fort also has the most complete military facilities. In comparison, the Ice Moth Fort and the Giant Elephant Fort are slightly smaller in area than the Fire Dragon Castle, while the largest area is the Spirit Butterfly Castle of the Spirit Butterfly Family.

However, because of the unique status of the Spirit Butterfly as a healer, and the attitude of maintaining neutrality and not participating in war or seizing power for thousands of years, Spirit Butterfly Castle has been able to grow quietly with the greatest privilege of all.

The Spirit Butterfly Clan is like a lotus flower that is not stained by silt, in a safe corner, blooming alone. No matter who is in power, no one will bother her. The biggest reason is that the Spirit Butterfly Clan has the largest number of medicinal herbs and healers in the entire underworld.

These healers, in their spare time, gather in the Spirit Butterfly Castle to preach and give lectures, develop medicinal materials, and learn medical skills, and they are the most respected group of people except for the Fire Dragon Clan, who are in power.

Inside and outside the castle, there are bustling street markets and all kinds of hotels, large and small. Most of the rooms in these hotels were rented to the descendants of other families. If any of these families were sick, the people who rented the inns would hurry to the Spirit Butterfly Castle to hire a doctor and run home.

In the center of the Spirit Butterfly Castle, there is the permanent residence of Xiao Yunfei, the patriarch of the Spirit Butterfly Clan, the Yuhua Pavilion. Yuhua Pavilion is luxuriously decorated, the style is extraordinary, it is a castle in the real sense, a city within a city.

For many years, the residents of the Lingdie tribe have been rich and healthy, and the foreign population here is basically a person seeking medical treatment and saving lives, and no one has ever violated it, so Yuhua Pavilion is not even guarded by guards, and the outside is still bustling with pedestrians shuttling, without giving people a sense of distance at all.

In the feather flower pavilion, the strange stones stand in the forest, the green trees are shady, the birds, insects and fish, the flowers are fragrant and the medicine is fragrant, refreshing the spleen. But today, the entire Feather Flower Pavilion seemed to be shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

A very exquisite tea bowl was thrown to the ground, and it instantly shattered, and the entire Xiangfeng Hall seemed to shake, startling Xiao Yuyao and her mother Ye Ci on the side.

Xiao Yunfei stared at the debris on the ground, his chest rising and falling, and the indescribable boredom in his heart.

"Father......" Xiao Yuyao stood aside, seeing his father rarely drop his own most beloved cup, and stopped talking.

When she got the test results, she came to the Xiangfeng Hall in the Yuhua Pavilion through another secret passage in the stone house, and handed them over to her father Xiao Yunfei and mother Ye Ci.

Her results confirmed Pei Lao's suspicion that the mutated plants and the water samples of the Lechuan River did contain cloud mushrooms, and there was also another poisonous ingredient that Pei Lao had not detected-Ga Jiaosan.

Ga Yasan is made from the hair of an animal called Ga Bei. Ga is an ancient creature that has survived in the underworld for thousands of years, the size is close to the two adult tigers in the world, the speed is like a leopard, the strength is like a bear, a black fur and the function of a protective color, can change color with the surrounding environment, is the absolute king of the land of the underworld once stood at the top of the food chain.

Later, it was discovered that its fur could be used to make a potion of Gassan, which had a property that could make other potions have the property of protecting color. When it is red, it becomes red, when it is white, when it is colorless, it becomes colorless.

After that, Gasan was used by some ill-intentioned people in evil places, such as poison.

Although many poisons can be undetected on the surface, they are a kind of medicine after all, and they may react and cause discoloration when encountering certain substances, and if they encounter a master of poison medicine, they may be immediately exposed.

Gagasan completely solves this problem. As the color of the environment changes, the poison is almost never recognized. Almost overnight, Ga Miasan became a new star in the pharmaceutical industry, and also became a new "expensive" in the pharmaceutical industry.

However, this beast is extremely fierce and good at concealment, and it is very difficult to catch. This has also led to the price of Gagasan rising all the way to the sky-high price. The extremely high income made many people take risks and began to hunt in groups. As a result, two hundred years ago, due to excessive hunting, it was difficult for people to find Gabei.

And the embarrassment also disappeared with the disappearance of the embarrassment. In the past 100 years, it has rarely been mentioned. This is also the reason why Pei Qingqing ignored this ingredient when he tested it.

Xiao Yuyao unexpectedly found that the first was the completeness of her own inspection equipment, and the second was given by the Lingdie Bookstore. Since she was three years old, she has often soaked in the Lingdie Bookstore and read a lot of ancient classics, which have a very detailed record of Ga Jiaosan.

"Yunfei, why are you making a big fuss!" Mrs. Ye Ci gently patted Xiao Yuyao's back and signaled her eldest daughter not to worry too much, "I think that the use of Yunfu and Gaqisan, two poisons to help at the same time, must be ill-intentioned, and there must be conspiracy." But it would be a bit too far-fetched to determine that someone was targeting the Spirit Butterfly Clan right now. ”

After Xiao Yunfei listened to Ye Ci's words, his breath gradually stabilized, and he twisted his face and asked, "Madam, how do you say it?"

Ye Ci pulled Xiao Yuyao to the window slowly, gently stroked the back of her daughter's hand, and said: "We can now be sure of one thing, that is, the person who poisons must have extraordinary energy, in order to obtain a large number of two strange poisons, Yunfu and Ga Qisan, otherwise it will not be enough to pollute the entire Lechuan River." But what we can't be sure of, that's just too much...... First, the effect of cloud mushroom is to double the toxicity, and the effect of the cloud mushroom is to protect the color, in my opinion, these two poisons are to protect the poison as the main body, but unfortunately we did not measure the main body poison. Second, the Lechuan River is polluted, and our Lingdie clan will certainly be greatly affected, but the Lechuan River has a long history, and the five major families will use its water, and it is impossible to say which family will be most affected in the end. Third, the Lingdie clan has never participated in politics or fought for hegemony, and other families are begging us Lingdie to do things, how can they come to harm the Lingdie clan, if Lingdie can no longer make life-saving medicinal materials, then the poisoner himself or his family must also be affected, he also has birth, old age, sickness and death, and always has to see a doctor. And ......"

Ye Ci said this, stopped, and stopped talking.

Xiao Yunfei frowned, and urged: "And what?

Ye Ci gently stroked the hair on Xiao Yuyao's forehead, and said softly: "Moreover, in our family, Yushan has married the Stone Elephant Clan, and Yuteng is now in love with Wu Yingying, the youngest daughter of the Ice Moth Clan's martial family. The remaining two major families, the main person in charge, the Fire Dragon Clan, are the guardians of the entire underworld, and it is absolutely impossible for them to do such a thing to dig out their hearts and livers. Although the Night Wolf Clan has been scattered all year round, they are also known as virtuous people, and they rely deeply on the medical skills of our spirit butterflies, so they are the least likely to poison us. So, I don't think it's likely that someone is going to target us spirit butterflies. ”

Xiao Yunfei nodded silently, he knew how much he had paid for the entire Spirit Butterfly clan. A year ago, he sacrificed the happiness of his second daughter Xiao Yushan, and married her stubborn personality to Shi Kang, the third son of the Shi family of the Giant Elephant Clan, in exchange for more food supplies from the Giant Elephant Clan; The Spirit Butterfly Clan has always been neutral, but how easy is it to be neutral......

Ye Ci's eyes were lowered, and he continued: "What I'm most worried about now is that this person who poisoned him won't open the door to hell......"

Xiao Yunfei shook his head for the first time and said, "Impossible, impossible! Only a madman who doesn't want to live would do such a stupid thing......

"Father, mother," Xiao Yuyao, who had been listening silently, said, "I think what we can do now is to find out the main poison." If we find out the main poison, we can think of countermeasures as soon as possible. Why don't I go and bring Pei Lao here and discuss it together?"

Ye Ci listened to it and said gently: "It's still our daughter's daughter who understands and knows what to do now." Yaoyao, then you go and come back quickly, we are waiting for you here. ”

Xiao Yuyao answered, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Yunfei again: "Yaoyao, what are you going to do with that man?"

"I want to bring him here, he has good skills and quick wit, and my father lacks such a person, but it depends on his own will. After Xiao Yuyao finished speaking, without waiting for Xiao Yunfei to reply, she turned back along the secret passage of the mechanism where she came.

After Xiao Yuyao left, Ye Ci cleaned the fragments of the cup on the ground and sighed softly: "This time, thanks to Pei Lao and Yaoyao, we were able to discover this conspiracy earlier, and we also had time to buffer." Yaoyao is a smart and filial child, Yunfei, I don't care what you plan to do, but you can't sacrifice Yaoyao anymore, sacrificing Yushan and Yuteng is enough......"

Xiao Yunfei behind him silently looked out the window, and a light breeze blew, blowing away the gray hair on his forehead.

At the same time, Pei Qingqing had already come to the crossing of the Lechuan River.

The vast and long-standing Lechuan River is the mother river of the entire underworld and the moat of the capital city. Its main stream resembles a glyph that encloses the entire capital city in the middle. The Lechuan River also has many tributaries, which flow mainly through the city of Yudu and finally converge on the main stream.

There are several places to cross the Lechuan River, but when we talk about ferries, we generally refer to the mouth of the river in the northeast direction of Snowflake Valley. Souls that can safely pass through the Soul Eater Flower Zone will usually assemble here and wait for the arrival of the river crossing boat.

Pei Qingqing searched back and forth at the ferry for a long time, but he didn't find Anqi's shadow, only a few underworld guides and spirits were waiting for the ferry by the river. As a last resort, Pei Qingqing came to a big tree, where a leader in a black robe was sitting, and a soul sitting honestly.

Pei Qingqing stretched out his hand and took out a small bag, handed it to the black robe, and asked him, "This brother, the old man wants to ask a question." ”
