Li Bing and Rimai followed Yangping Feizun in the main palace of Baojiao, and the delicacy in the sect was good, but unfortunately the houses were also very dense and always crowded.

Yangping Feizun's footsteps were obviously faster than when he came, and he led the two of them to a pavilion, and the door was already full of praise disciples.

"Uh-huh~!" he coughed lowly, and when the disciples who were attached to the door turned around, he said, "I'll leave it to us here, there's nothing to see." It's all gone!"

A group of disciples were driven away, and Yang Ping Feizun was just about to push the door, but he turned around and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince really wants to go and see, the scene may be a little ......"

"It's not the first time I've seen this kind of scene, it's fine......"

The three of them pushed the door in, but before they could see the furnishings inside, Li Bing almost vomited, pressed one hand on his mouth, and finally held it back.

The strong smell of the latrine in the room was unpleasant. Yang Ping Feizun glanced at Li Bing, as if to say, "I warned your ......"

The room was not large, with a bed in the middle, on which the corpse was resting, and the clothes had been stripped clean, and only two white cloths were used to cover the face and private areas—the corpse was covered with blue corpse spots, ulcerated in some places, and bleeding yellow pus, which was very disgusting.

Li Bing tried not to make eye contact with his body, and looked up at the five people around the corpse.

Yangping Feizun took Li Bing around to the five people: "This is His Royal Highness the Prince of Xiangwang." He always thought that Rimai was Li Bing's personal guard, so he didn't introduce him.

The five of them hugged their fists and saluted, and Li Bing also returned the salute generously, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"Why did you bring your guests here, bring them to the main hall for tea, I'll be here soon." The man who spoke was tall, in his fifties, with slean, yellow-skinned, slightly wrinkled, and high cheekbones. Looking at the temperament, you know that it is a life.

His clothes are obviously more gorgeous than the other four, Yangping Feizun is embroidered with purple robe and silver thread, but he is embroidered with gold thread, everyone else is hairpin, but the top of his head is a purple and gold crown - it should be the master of the Praise Palace that Yangping Feizun said.

"There was an emergency in the teaching, and I didn't take care of it, and I still looked at Haihan. After the palace master finished speaking, he once again signaled to take Li Bing away.

"It's okay, I'm coming. ”

Since he was stubborn, Yangping Feizun introduced the other four people: "This Gong Xue Feizun, His Royal Highness has seen it in Yurui Village. ”

"The one next to him is Hanxiao Feizun. ”

This man was in his thirties, a few years older than Yang Ping, with a long body and a long sword behind his back. Small eyes and small mouth, pale complexion, expressionless face. Compared with Rimai's bleak character, he has more coldness and loneliness between his eyebrows.

"Why are you back?" Yang Ping Feizun asked Han Xiao Feizun, but it was another person who answered.

"We were going to inspect the embankment, but we met it on the way, so we came back with us. ”

The man who spoke was in his forties, not short, but with a long waist and short limbs, and very strong. He was dark-skinned, rough-looking, and casual in his gestures, a bit like a peasant man.

"Oh, this is Fengcheng Feizun. ”

In addition to these four people, the rest of the people are dressed differently, although they are also purple robes, the embroidery pattern is much simpler, and there are two yellow lines embroidered near the left waist: "Qingding".

"This is the 'Qingding Pavilion' Wu Pavilion Master. Qingding Pavilion is one of the twelve pavilions of praise and education, focusing on medicine and alchemy. "This pavilion master is very young, and he may be about the same as Yangping Feizun.

As soon as the words fell, someone pushed the door in, it was a middle-aged woman, with big shoulders and round waist, wide body and wide body, and her legs were covered with mud.

The man was stunned at the door for a moment and looked at Li Bing.

"Suqin Feizun, this is His Royal Highness the Prince of Xiangwang. ”

Su Qin Feizun nodded in favor, but immediately walked up to the corpse and asked lightly, "Has the autopsy been conducted?"

"Senior Brother Fan's internal organs are ulcerated, and his skin is full of pus, and there is a foul smell. There are no scars on the whole body, and the possibility of a hidden weapon is ruled out, which should be poisoning. Pavilion Master Wu replied.

"The top of the head, the nostrils, the lower vulva. Have you checked them all?" Su Qin Feizun slightly lifted the white cloth on the corpse's face, broke his mouth and nose, and examined it carefully.

"It's all checked, and there are no injuries. ”

Before Pavilion Master Wu finished speaking, Su Qin Feizun suddenly picked up another piece of white cloth on the corpse, and there was no concealment between his hands, and the indescribable things were clearly seen by several people in the hall.

Even Li Bing couldn't bear to look at this kind of immoral thing, even the women of Yuruizhuang probably didn't dare to act like this in broad daylight, but Suqin Feizun didn't care about it at all.

"Bring the medical kit. Wu Ge Master handed over the things, she didn't take the medicine, but pulled out a knife.

Is this a puppet or a doctor? Li Bing muttered in his heart, but looking at Su Qin Feizun's expression, he was very serious.

She stabbed between the ribs and made a small incision, and the body immediately flowed out of a foamy blue pus, which soon separated from the body, gradually darkening in color and turning dark brown.

She sniffed first, dipped a little pus with the tip of a knife, put it under her nose and sniffed carefully, and then ...... I gently put the tip of the knife on the tip of my tongue and licked it a little, and immediately spit it out.

Li Bing felt that this person was really bold, since he already knew that he was poisoned and died, wasn't he afraid that he would also be infected with poison?

"Suqin Feizun's exercises are special, and ordinary poisons have little effect on her. Yang Pingfei knew that Li Bing was puzzled and opened his mouth to explain.

Li Bingxin said, he still has a powerful demon pill on his body, and he doesn't know if he can solve this poison. Even so, he didn't think about trying.

"This poison should be 'Nine Sea Ginseng Powder', and the main ingredients are nine miles of incense, seven star begonias, ghost hemp skin, and black ginseng. There are many types of auxiliary materials, and it is not easy to refine. ”

As she spoke, she carefully examined the corpse's nails.

"This poison is a unique secret medicine of 'half-grass stream', colorless when it enters the water, slightly sweet, and not easy to detect. The size of the fingertip can be fatal, and the middle person will initially have difficulty breathing in the lungs, gradually induce generalized spasms, and finally the five organs will fail, and the toxicity will overflow from the organs to the skin after death, turning into corpse spots.

This poison has a powerful point, that is, it can control the time of death of the poisoned person, the more poisoned, the faster the death. ”

Su Qin Feizun finally finished the examination and re-covered the corpse: "The time of poisoning was about a day and a half ago. ”

Yangping Feizun thought thoughtfully: "What sect is 'Half Grass Stream', I don't seem to have heard of it." ”

The master of the Baojiao Palace answered: "'Bancaojian' is a small sect of green seedlings, and the ancestor was born in 'Shennong Valley'. ”

"Originally, Shennong Valley, like our Baojiao, was the main sect in the 'Ten Sects of the Outer Division'. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Shennong Valley fell apart and was removed from the 'Ten Gates of Siwai', which instead contributed to the birth of 'Qingmiao One Line'.

Qianhua Xingfang, Wulong Divine Island, Beihan Youting, Bliss Palace, Huanxi Valley, Lingshu Sect, Liuwei Ming Hall, Medicine King Palace, most of these leaders of the green seedling lineage were founded at that time.

The same is true for the half-grass stream. It's just that twenty years ago, many of his subordinates participated in the Anshi rebellion and were exterminated by the imperial court, so you don't know. ”

"The palace master is right. I thought this poison was lost, but I didn't expect anyone to use it. Su Qin Feizun shook his head: "There is indeed no trace of a hidden weapon, it should have been poisoned." ”

As soon as he heard about the Anshi rebellion, Li Bing was even more curious, could this person also have something to do with Rongjiao?

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but want to see this person's face, gently lifted the corner of the white cloth on Fan Xixiang's face, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's him!"

The palace master of the Praise Sect looked at Li Bing: "His Royal Highness the Prince knows Fan Xixiang?"

"I've met once. ”

Li Bingkou knew that he had lost his words, he had originally come to investigate Fan Xixiang, and he was exposed in advance, so he missed the horse's feet.

His mind spun quickly, and he immediately added: "This person seems to be one of the disciples at the sacrifice at the Centennial Bridge that day. ”

"It turns out that His Highness has also seen the ceremony. Yangping Feizun responded: "Yes, he is one of the top disciples of the Three Patterns of the Praise Sect, and he was on the bridge that day." Although Xixiang has not been teaching for a long time, his kung fu has progressed quickly, and he is also thoughtful in his work. In five years, he was promoted from an outer disciple to a three-pattern disciple, which was the fastest among their generation. ”

"I see. Li Bingxin thought: Five years? Isn't that about the same time as the establishment of Yuruizhuang.

"Is this Fan Xixiang a native of Liangzhou?"

"No, five years ago, when there was a drought in Qinzhou, he was one of the victims who passed by, and he had some kung fu skills to help the outer disciples manage the victims, and later joined my sect. ”

(Qinzhou, Tianshui, Gansu)

Li Bingxin said, if what these people said is true, then the possibility that Venerable Xiang is a spy has greatly increased, and maybe Baojiao has indeed not participated in it.

The palace master saw that Li Bing was thoughtful, and thought that he was thinking about the case: "Your Highness came to check Yuruizhuang this time, and Master Fan's nephew happened to be poisoned by Rongjiao, it seems that Yuruizhuang is really inseparable from Rongjiao." Yangping, you are meticulous, and you are assisting the prince and the assassin to investigate the affairs of the Rong Sect. The poisoning of Master Fan's nephew will be handed over to you to investigate, and you must find out the real culprit behind it. ”

After he finished speaking, he added: "Since there is an inference, we should not stand here anymore." Why don't I take His Highness to the sect to have a look......"

As soon as Li Bing said yes, he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Your Excellency the palace master, the master asked if His Royal Highness the Prince has arrived, and if so, I would like to invite him to the 'Anhong Palace' to see him. ”

When the palace master heard this person's voice, he glanced at Yangping Feizun, and asked the person outside the door: "Did you only invite one person from Your Highness?"

"Yes, just one person. ”

When the palace master heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he said to Li Bing: "It's my little uncle at the door." My ancestor, that is, the master of the Praise Sect, wants to meet His Highness. I wonder what His Highness thinks?"

"I also want to see the demeanor of the Praise Sect Master. Li Bing spoke very politely, but looking at the eyes of the few people around him, it seemed that there was something unspeakable, and he seemed to be very disgusted.

"Then bother, Uncle Xiao will lead the way for His Highness. The palace master said: "The sect master is old and a little confused, if he says something wrong or does something wrong, please don't take it to heart!"

Li Bing was surprised in his heart, Yangping Feizun said this, why did the palace master also say this, it seems that this Praise Sect Master is not very pleasing.

Uncle Xiao took Li Bing and Rimai out of the attic, walked a short distance along the stone path, and arrived at a secluded courtyard in the corner of the wall - three rooms on the left and right, with blue bricks and red tiles, which are not the same as the style of the houses elsewhere in Baojiao.

"This is Master's place of cultivation, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, please!" Uncle Xiao stood in front of the bluestone brick steps, stretched out his hand and asked Li Bing to go to the middle room.

"Is he going to wait outside?" asked Li Bing, pointing to Rimai behind him.

"It's a guest from afar, please come in!"

Li Bing entered the door and gently pushed open the door, the light inside was faint, and it was difficult to see clearly.

The layout of the room is similar to the main hall of Taoism, there are some talismans hanging on the beams, and there is a tribute table against the wall in the middle, which is not the portrait of the ancestor of the Sanqing Dynasty, but the monster with the appearance of three monsters, which may be what Han Linyuan said: the water dragon god, the mountain dragon god and the heavenly dragon god.

In front of the tribute table stood a slightly bloated old man. The light was too dim, and Li Bing didn't see anything clearly except for the purple and gold embroidered robe on his body.

But the old man spoke first: "I'm not as tall as I thought, and I'm not strong enough, my skin is white, and I don't have any complexion." The appearance is average, the martial arts qualifications are also very mediocre, and the most important thing is that the teeth are still very bad!"

"Alas~!" When the old man sighed, Li Bingcai saw his appearance clearly and was taken aback.

The chest of the purple and gold robe was full of oil, and it had not been washed for half a year, and the old man's hair was messy like a chicken nest, and his two sideburns were still knotted, and he didn't know how long he hadn't combed it. He grinned, revealing a row of large yellow teeth, two of his front teeth in the middle had fallen out, and his speech was leaking.

"Why did you say that your family Shengxu found such a person?
