At the moment when more than ten people fell to death, the space seemed to be slightly distorted, and I saw a tall and thin old man dressed in a learned and gray-haired old man suddenly appear out of thin air at the scene of the entrance ceremony.

"Gongsun Xuebo!"

"It's a scholar of chess."

Immediately, some students and Xuezheng recognized the identity of this tall and thin old man.

The tall and thin old man frowned and glanced at the more than ten corpses on the ground, looked at the prisoner, and said, "Old Qi, I feel that someone is dying in the Xue Palace Formation, what happened?" ”

The prisoner looked at these corpses with a sinking face, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Gongsun Zangshu, immediately and completely block the entire school palace, and move the Yan collection of books." ”

The tall and thin old man didn't say much, just waved his sleeves, and black and white chess pieces flew out of his cuffs, turning into streamers and flying in all directions, and at the same time, grid-like lines also appeared under his feet, as if the entire school palace had turned into a huge chessboard at this moment.

Immediately, a tall woman wearing a gauze scarf and a green wool cloak also appeared at the scene, and the faint scent of medicine slowly spread.

This woman is obviously a scholar of pharmacy in the palace, and she is also the book collection order of the secret pavilion of the human sect.

"What happened?" Yan Zangshu's voice was slightly hoarse, and his clear eyes swept over the corpses at the scene.

Jian Cheng took a deep breath and said: "These people died suddenly, it looks like witchcraft and some kind of Gu poison, I wanted to call you to save people, but it was too late, and I didn't find any traces, so please take a look." ”

"Witchcraft? Gu poison? ”

Yan Zangshu frowned slightly, and walked to the corpse of one of the Xuezheng, and the crowd watching the ceremony suddenly scattered a clearing to the side.

She crouched down, a slender fingertip resting on the corpse's forehead.

After a while, Yan Zangshu withdrew his hand and glanced at the crowd of many guests, and then turned his head to look at the prisoner and muttered.

"Yan Zangshu, how's that?" Jian Cheng asked: "You are already the person who is the best at pharmacy and toxicology in the Academy, if you can't find out, then you can only go to the sect to invite the pavilion master of your family's medicine pavilion." ”

"It doesn't make a difference if the pavilion master comes, he will only come to the same conclusion as me."

Yan Zangshu shook his head slightly, and said: "When I arrived just now, I recognized it at a glance, judging from the appearance of death, these people obviously died from the 'poison of the anti-anxiety snake', but I probed the corpse...... But there was no trace of snake venom to be found. ”

"Can't find snake venom?" Jian Cheng frowned and said, "Since he died of snake venom, why can't he find snake venom?" ”

"Two possibilities." Yan Zangshu said in a deep voice: "First, the poisoned anti-anxiety snake is the legendary 10,000-year-old demon king, the essence of the poisonous path has reached the invisible realm of spring breeze and rain, after poisoning people, the snake venom will completely dissipate into the invisible. ”

When Lin Lan heard this, his heart immediately moved.

What he sees in the finale is a tsunami caused by a huge snake's tail, which overwhelms him and kills him with a terrible current.

Could it be ......

"Ten Thousand Year Demon King?" Jian Cheng's brows furrowed even deeper, "Lord Saint Master swept the world eight hundred years ago, there should be no missing 10,000-year-old demon king in this world, right?" ”

He was also a little unconvinced, took a deep breath, and asked, "What about another possibility?" ”

Yan Zangshu glanced at the people present and did not answer.

The prisoner knew what she meant, so he waved his sleeve and said, "Then let's discuss it later." ”

He looked at the more than ten corpses again, frowned, and said, "However, why are these people killed?" What do these people have in common that would lead to poisoning? ”

At this time, a white-robed scholar suddenly stepped forward and said, "Eunuch, the students probably know what these people have in common. ”

"Oh? Say. The prisoner looked at Na Xuezheng.

The white-robed scholar immediately said: "Last night, in order to celebrate the admission to the school palace, His Royal Highness King Ning set up a banquet in the palace, and also invited friends and several students in the palace to learn Zheng, including students, after the students went to the banquet, they found that His Royal Highness King Ning also prepared a batch of snake girls at the dinner to entertain guests.

He coughed and said, "It's just that the student remembered the teacher's teachings, politely rejected the kindness of His Royal Highness King Ning, and did not let the snake girl serve, and left directly after the banquet. ”

A young man immediately walked out of the crowd, and Zhengse said: "Supervisor, the student can testify, this was indeed the case at the banquet last night, and the student, like Senior Brother Zhao, always remembered the teacher's teachings, so he left after the banquet." ”

Jian Cheng frowned slightly and said, "Tell the point." ”

The white-robed scholar glanced at the more than ten corpses on the ground and said, "These poisoned dead people happen to be the guests who attended the banquet last night, so the students guessed that since they are snake venom, will it be related to these snake girls?" ”

"Snake Girl?"

The eunuch looked at the crowd of guests and said, "Is there anyone coming from King Ning's mansion?" ”

A middle-aged man who looked like a butler immediately came out at the edge of the crowd, his face was pale and bloodless, and after bowing his hand, he said respectfully: "Lord Jiancheng, you are in charge of the Xianning Palace." ”

"Do you know what happened at last night's banquet?" The eunuch stared at the steward of the Naning Palace, "One fifteen and ten said." ”

"Yes."

The steward of King Ning's Mansion said in a low voice: "At the banquet last night, His Royal Highness King Ning prepared fifteen snake girls, and originally planned to invite fourteen people, but I didn't expect that there was a student on the invitation list who didn't go, and His Royal Highness's other three friends also heard the news and came to the banquet, so there were two more people at the banquet, and His Royal Highness King Ning found that Zhao Xuezheng and Liang Xuezheng had no snake girls around them, so he let him take the two adults to the Teaching Workshop Division. ”

The faces of the two Xuezheng were suddenly a little embarrassed.

Jian Cheng glanced at the two Xuezheng coldly, ignored them, and just said, "Then what?" ”

"It didn't be anything different after that." The steward of King Ning's Mansion lowered his head and said, "After the banquet is over, His Royal Highness King Ning will let all the guests take the snake girl to stay in the guest room of the Warm Pavilion. ”

The eunuch pondered for a moment and asked, "You just said that there was a student on the invitation list who didn't go?" Who is it? ”

The steward of King Ning's Mansion looked at the new student behind Jian Cheng and said, "It's Mr. Lin Lan, His Royal Highness originally planned to give the most beautiful snake girl to Mr. Lin Lan at the banquet, but Mr. Lin Lan directly refused the invitation to the banquet. ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Lin Lan.

Lin Lan calmly met everyone's gaze.

The eunuch nodded slightly, and then frowned again: "You can tell carefully, the people who died here are all the people who were served by the snake girl last night?" ”

The steward of King Ning's Mansion looked at more than ten corpses carefully with sweat on his forehead, and said: "That's true, except for the second son of Lou Guo's Mansion and the third prince of Qingyang County Lord's Mansion, these thirteen are all people who were served by the snake girl last night. ”

"Two more?"

The eunuch turned his head to look at one of the purple-robed sects and said, "Sect Chen, quickly go to the Louguo Mansion and the Qingyang County Lord's Mansion to confirm that these two people have died of poison." ”

The purple-robed sect bowed slightly, and looked at the chess scholar who blocked the school palace with a formation.

The tall and thin old man immediately waved his sleeves, and a chess piece flew out, moving the purple-robed oracle out of the formation.

"I'll ask you again."

The eunuch looked at the steward of King Ning's mansion again, frowned, and said, "Where did King Ning's group of snake girls come from?" Where is it now? ”

The steward of King Ning's Mansion hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "...... When the master of Faguang Temple slashed demons and eliminated demons, he found a group of snake demons who had just transformed in Qingmu Mountain, Yanzhou, because these snake demons did not kill evil, and they had certain cultivation qualifications, so they banned mana and gave it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a gift. ”

Speaking of this, he lowered his head and said: "His Royal Highness King Ning found that these snake girls were all born as beautiful as flowers, so he asked for them from His Royal Highness the Prince, and now those snake girls are still in the palace, and His Royal Highness plans to use them to entertain guests." ”
