Chapter 23: Is it one of them?
Yi Xiu casually touched a little blood stain from his face, put it under his eyes and looked at it carefully for a moment, before nodding: "It should be a desperate death." β
Without pause, he stared at everyone's suspicious gaze and introduced: "As the name suggests, after drinking this poison, monks and ordinary people will all suffer from the destruction of liver and intestines, and it only takes half a cup of tea to die." β
As soon as these words came out, many of the monks present were frightened, most of them threw down the wine in their hands at the same time, and their movements were uniform, and some people immediately used their spiritual power to probe themselves, and hurriedly pulled the medical cultivator to check for themselves.
"Half a cup of tea?"
"This feast has been going on for nearly an hour," he said, "and the poisonerβ" he was terrified, "between us?" β
From the invitation of everyone to Qi, and then the merit, gifts, and dances - to now everyone is full of wine and food, holding wine glasses and flattering and entertaining, maybe an hour has already passed.
Wen Yu's face immediately became serious, he glanced down at his friend who had died, and immediately ordered: "Close the door!" β
The boy at the door did not hesitate, and the two of them opened one by one, and when everyone had not yet come to their senses, the door of this hall was closed again, isolating the bright light outside the house, and only the flickering lights in the hall remained.
Shu Nong's chopsticks pinched, and the noodles in the bowl were shaken casually: "It's almost an hour, no wonder this noodle has become like this." β
She just threw down her chopsticks, and suddenly saw the solemn Wen Yu striding towards her, and bowed slightly to her and Yan Changan: "This matter is strange, the juniors don't dare to make a decision easily, and I invite the two seniorsββ"
"Senpai?"
Before Wen Yu finished speaking, Shu Nong first couldn't help but chuckle.
Yan Changan looked sideways, and saw that the irritability between her eyebrows suddenly subsided, and the sparkling smile soaked her eyebrows, making her beautiful eyes bend happily.
She sat up slightly straight, propped her cheeks, and lifted her chin slightly: "You go on." β
Wen Yu accepted the setting of the plot, although he was interrupted by Shu Nong, he didn't ask too much, and only continued: "Please also ask the two seniors to help me find the murderer." β
It's really straightforward, Shu Nong wanted to ask why he couldn't do it himself.
But the first layer of the Trial Tower is to ask them to solve the mystery, and it is not interesting for her to deliberately refuse, it is better to solve it quickly, she can go to the upper level.
She and Yan Changan hadn't said anything yet, someone over there quietly pulled the closed door, and found that even if they used spiritual power, they couldn't shake it in the slightest, and immediately became angry: "What does this mean?!" Is it a suspicion that we are murderers? β
There is no need for Wen to make a sound, there are so many monks in the hall, and someone immediately stood up and retorted: "It was said that the murderer is between us, and it is necessary to cooperate with the two seniors to find the murderer, you are in such a hurry to leave, could it be that you are the one who poisoned it?!" β
The quarrel between the two was like a fuse, instantly igniting the suspicion, suspicion, and anger that filled the temple, some remained silent, coldly watching the chaos in the temple, some joined the quarrel and wanted to leave immediately, and some supported the closure of the temple door and immediately found out the murderer.
Wen Yao squatted down in the midst of all kinds of quarrels, raised his hand to close the corpse's wide eyes, and showed sadness: "Brother Lin, it took a lot of hard work to see the dawn, how could you fall at the dawn." β
Shu Nong looked at the farce in the hall with cold eyes, his eyes fell on Cheng Lao, who was protected by several people and had been silent, and suddenly turned his head and asked Yan Changan: "The content of this illusion, is it the same for every disciple to come in?" β
Yan Changan was about to ask her if she wanted to directly use brute force to break the ban on this layer, when he suddenly heard her question, he was stunned, and replied seriously: "It should be different, after all, if the level of solving puzzles is consistent, it will have no meaning for latecomers." β
Although there are very few disciples who are willing to enter the first layer, it is not without disciples who want to try this type of topic on a whim.
"It should change depending on who enters the tower." He added.
Shu Nong tugged at the corners of his mouth and chuckled.
In this case, the content of this illusion was so accurately played out to her little heart, if it had to be related to a few of them who entered the tower, she couldn't think of anyone else except herself.
This trial tower does have some ability, she thought that it would be enough for her to enter the tower as a tourist, but she didn't expect that even her sword spirit could detect the things in it.
Yan Changan also thought of this layer.
Although Shu Nong did not tell him in detail about her and Liu Xubai's past six hundred years ago, the fame of her Hua Fairy is so great, and Shu Nong's own attitude towards Liu Xubai is like this, and it is naturally self-evident who this illusion changes according to.
The Trial Tower has always grabbed these from strength, which also proves from the side that Shu Nong is indeed the strongest among them.
He didn't choose to go toe-to-toe with her in the first place, which was a wise move.
He thought for a moment and proposed, "Directly break the ban?" β
Shu Nong shook his head slightly, his smile expanded, and he did not shy away from mentioning his past in his words: "If this illusion was changed because of me, things would be much easier." β
She pinched the exquisite ceramic cup on the table, and threw it forward carelessly, the cup containing the tea brushed the ear of Wen Yao, who was still squatting in front of her friend's corpse, and fell behind him, the porcelain cup was broken, the tea was splashed, and a few people around subconsciously raised her feet to avoid it, and suddenly heard two chuckles.
The noisy atmosphere in the hall suddenly stagnated, and they all looked at the source of the laughter, only to see the girl sitting at the top holding her head propped up, her smile was too bright, and seeing that success had attracted their attention, she lazily raised a hand, and her fingers moved slightly, which was regarded as greeting them.
"Panic what."
The hand she raised fell, and she stood up with the table, her eyes swept over Wen Yu, who had just gotten up, "The matter of half a cup of tea." β
Wen Yao's eyes were slightly red, as if he was in tears because of the departure of his friend, he stood in the crowd, and bowed to Shu Nong at the table: "Seniorββ"
"Don't call me senior." Shu Nong interrupted and raised his chin, "Do you know Liu Xubai?" If one day he enters this first layer, you have to remember to go forward to recognize your relatives, that is your predecessor. β
In the setting of the first layer, and give the characters in the plot too much ability to think independently, Wen Yu couldn't understand her words, and the others in the hall also looked like they hadn't heard anything.
Shu Nong only took advantage of the fact that there was no one else around him except Yan Changan to vent two sentences, and he didn't expect them to really understand anything, so as to refute her.
As she walked down the steps, she asked, "Today's celebration banquet, talking about meritorious achievements, who else is the meritorious person besides you Wenyao?" β
She looked at Wen Yu condescendingly, and then led everyone to shift their attention to the "Brother Lin" on the ground: "Is this one of them?" β
