Chapter 24 Grass and Flowers

Long Zun's words surprised everyone present.

If it is really as he said, then there must be some kind of extremely similar or even identical characteristics between the Barbarian Fox Clan and the Spirit Fox Holy Clan.

And this characteristic is not difficult to guess.

Since Lang Yue was mistaken for a fox clan because he was seen in the nine-tailed phase, it is enough to show that this similar feature is the nine-tailed phase.

"Is it ......?"

In Chen Yutian's heart, an extremely bold guess emerged.

Long Zun seemed to see through his thoughts, and deliberately reminded: "In addition, I can also tell you that in this world, except for the people of the Spirit Fox Holy Clan, there is no other Holy Clan or sect that has such a situation. However, the barbarian martial arts are different from those of the Central Plains, and it may be possible that such a situation may occur. ”

Chen Yutian nodded slightly.

At this time, Long Zun said again: "Also, for the teacher to remind you, if you want to rescue that little girl, you have to find out what the power behind the national teacher is as soon as possible, in my opinion, this force is definitely not simple, and the death of the two barbarian boys is bound to be related to it." ”

Hearing this, Chen Yutian pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "The apprentice understands, and I must follow the teachings of the master." ”

Long Zun smiled slightly and said, "It's good to understand." We old guys don't have much to do with your juniors. ”

With that, Long Zun and the Sword Saint got up and left.

After everyone watched the two saints leave, Chen Yutian's eyes glanced at everyone slightly, and then spoke.

"Everyone heard what my master said, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"Next, let's talk about the case of the mysterious death of the two princes. Chen Yutian sighed slightly, "Regarding this case, I thought about it all night yesterday and had some ideas. ”

"Oh?"

When he heard this, everyone's eyes lit up.

This is because they know that whenever Chen Yutian says that he has an idea, he must have already made a reasonable inference.

However, since he did not say that it was an inference, it means that this inference is not yet complete, and there is a lack of evidence to support it.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yutian smiled slightly and slowly spoke.

"Let's start with the strange movements of the two princes during the hunt. ”

The crowd nodded.

Chen Yutian said: "Everyone has read the file, and it is clearly recorded on the file that the two princes were in the middle of hunting, and suddenly rushed to two places where there were no secret sentinels, right?"

Xue Tianhan nodded and said, "Not bad." Do you suspect that this is when the murderer did something?"

A look of surprise flashed across Xuan Xi's face, "This is unlikely, right? In that case, what would the murderer do?"

Chen Yutian shook his head slightly.

"No, it's possible. And there is a great possibility. Do you remember the strange smell that appeared at the two scenes?"

Gongsun nodded and said, "Of course I remember." ”

As soon as the last word landed, his expression suddenly moved, the essence in his eyes flashed, and he asked, "What do you mean...... It's unlikely that the problem is with the smell, and if there is a problem with the smell, then Taigong and the others, who arrived at the scene and smelled the smell, should also have a problem, right?"

Chen Yutian nodded slightly, "What Gongsun said is very true, and this is exactly what I didn't figure out last night." ”

Gongsun frowned slightly, and said, "I don't know what the adults originally thought?"

Chen Yutian stretched out two fingers.

"My initial thoughts were twofold, one was that they might have been in martial arts such as charm and soul dementoring, and the other was that they might have been in some kind of hallucinogenic drug. ”

Hearing this, Gongsun frowned and groaned slightly.

"If that aroma contains hallucinogenic drugs, as the student said, they will also be tricked by the Taigong, so this should be ruled out. ”

"However, martial arts such as dementorship and charm, although they can disturb people's minds, but depending on the strength of the skill, the time of influence is long or short, I asked the guards, the skills of the two princes are not weak, and it is not easy to do this. ”

"Wait...... Hallucinogens...... Aroma ......"

As he spoke, a spiritual light suddenly flashed in Gongsun's mind, and his body was suddenly shocked!!

The next moment, he stood up, his figure flashed, and he left the room directly.

Everyone in the room looked at each other, and they all saw a deep doubt in each other's eyes.

A moment later, Gongsun returned, still holding an ancient book in his hand.

He flipped to one of the pages of the ancient book and looked at its contents carefully, a knowing smile on his face.

"There you have it, this is it!"

Everyone looked at him with some confusion.

Chen Yutian and Xue Tianhan walked directly to him, and their eyes fell on the open ancient book.

I saw that on the book, a relatively ordinary herb was drawn, and next to the picture, there was the name and function of this herb.

"...... of the withered grass"

Chen Yutian muttered, his eyes swept over the handwriting on the book line by line, and finally stopped at the last line of small characters.

"Combined with the fragrance of cherry blossoms, it has a hallucinogenic effect......"

Chen Yutian's eyes flashed, and he looked back at the line of words in front of him.

The use of the grass is recorded there.

"Can you mix tea herbs into medicine......" Chen Yutian groaned slightly.

The so-called mixed tea herb is a kind of herb that can be mixed with tea leaves, this herb often makes the taste of tea more mellow, and is deeply loved by some royal nobles in the Central Plains.

But there is something peculiar about the effect of the dry grass.

When it is mixed with tea herbs, it has only one function, and that is to make the tea aroma stronger.

With the addition of suburbat tea, the taste will not change by half a point, but the tea aroma is indeed twice or even several times the usual one.

This effect is undoubtedly a bit frustrating.

But because of this, even if this herb is added to the tea, the average person will not be able to notice it.

If it is used as a hallucinogenic drug, it can definitely be used silently.

It's just that the cherry blossom is a thing......

Chen Yutian's expression moved, and he asked, "Gongsun, where does this cherry blossom usually grow?"

Gongsun thought for a moment and flipped the book in his hand to another page.

I saw a flower painted on it.

A strange flower that resembles a cherry blossom, but with relatively complex petals.

"This is the cherry blossom...... Gongsun said.

Chen Yutian nodded slightly.

"Ah......h

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from beside him.

But when I saw the three daughters of Xuan Xi, Ling Miaoyin, and Tang Fengling on the side, their expressions were suddenly shocked, and they actually showed a look of surprise!

"This, this is the cherry blossom?"

Xuan Xi pointed to the painting in the book, and his little hand subconsciously covered his mouth wide.

Gongsun nodded slightly, revealing a puzzled look.

Chen Yutian seemed to think of something, looked at the three daughters of Xuanxi, and asked, "Have you ever seen this flower?"

Gongsun and Xue Tianhan were surprised.

I saw Ling Miaoyin nodding slightly, and said, "We have indeed seen this flower, and it is in a garden in the inner garden of the harem. ”

Chen Yutian's expression was shocked, and he looked at Gongsun.

Gongsun naturally understood what he meant, his expression became slightly solemn, and he spoke: "The Heavenly Dry Herb was born in the Western Regions, and it can be seen almost everywhere in the Western Regions, and now that cherry blossoms have been found in the garden of the harem inner garden, then the possibility of the murderer using this technique has greatly increased." ”

Xue Tianhan also nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, it seems that the top priority is to prove whether the fragrance that appeared on the scene is the fragrance of cherry blossoms." ”

Chen Yutian nodded and said, "Yes, besides, I think it's time for us to go to the scene of the crime and have a look." ”

Xuan Xi was slightly stunned.

"The scene of the crime? It's been nearly half a year since the incident, and now if you go to the scene, you shouldn't be able to find anything, right?"

Chen Yutian smiled meaningfully.

"Some things may not be there anymore, but some things must still be there......"

Xuan Xi was suddenly confused.

......

......

On the side of the road, there is a ruined temple.

It was nearly dusk, thick clouds shrouded, the sky was gloomy, and there was a faint thunder, through the thick clouds, accompanied by electric light, resounding through the heavens and the earth.

A heavy rain is coming.

Bang!

A thunderclap exploded, and a carriage, accompanied by several figures on horseback, slowly stopped in front of the broken temple gate.

"Grandpa, it's here, let's spend the night here tonight. Huo Yuanji looked at the dreary sky, glanced back at the carriage, and said.

Yan Zun and the Ice King in the carriage lifted the curtain one after another to take a look at the broken temple, and the Ice King immediately pursed his lips.

"There's something ...... this place It's hard to put into words!"

Yan Zun smiled: "It's good to have some stays, I'm afraid it's going to rain tonight, so I have a place to shelter from the rain." ”

The Ice King nodded helplessly, "It seems that I can only be wronged tonight." ”

Yan Zun smiled: "Old ghost, I think this place seems to be much better than the place where you live......"

The Ice King pouted, "Cut...... This place is no match for my Ice Palace. ”

Saying that, the two of them got out of the carriage with Lin Feifei, Liu Huangcui, and Yu Xiaoxiao in the carriage, and Lin Dao, Taiyi Tianfu and others led the horses to the side to settle down.

Huo Yuanji and Ling Xiaowu got off their horses and went straight to the door of the broken temple, stretched out their hands, and pushed the door.

"Crunch......" The old wooden door sounded, and the temple door opened in response, and the moment the door opened, Huo Yuanji's pupils shrank suddenly.

Ling Xiaowu was also slightly stunned.

"What's the matter...... Yu Xiaoxiao came up curiously, and when she saw the scene in the ruined temple, she was also slightly stunned.

I saw that there was already a person in the ruined temple.

Moreover, it was a rather haggard-looking woman.
