Chapter 11: Snake Venom
"You're Wan'er's younger brother?"
Zhang Fenghai just listened to the name, and he knew who the young man in front of him was who looked radiant, but had a calm bearing. After all, Ling Hao was once the first day of Xuanyan City, where he had cultivated to the Innate Realm and awakened his martial soul at the age of eight, and he was extremely famous back then.
If it weren't for the fact that he had awakened the legendary waste wood martial soul of the Great Five Elements Yin and Yang Wheel, he would have a bright future.
Ling Hao nodded, his eyes fixed on Zhang Fenghai's left and right temples, and then his gaze went down, sweeping Zhang Fenghai's left and right tiger mouths, and the light in his eyes flashed.
"Boy, you said that my Zhang family was set up to kill with poison, is there any basis?" Zhang Fenghai pondered for a long time and asked.
If it weren't for knowing Ling Wan very well and knowing that she had a calm temperament and wouldn't be untrustworthy, Zhang Fenghai would never have believed that the Zhang family was assigned to mix poison and kill the bureau.
Seeing that Zhang Fenghai's eyes were full of suspicion, Ling Hao stretched out his feet and tapped the ground, and said, "I have explored just now, and under the floor tiles of this mansion, there is a large amount of red lotus stone powder mixed with it. ”
"When red lotus stone powder comes into contact with serpentine scales, it will produce a fragrant smell like cucumbers. So, the foundation of the Zhang family's mansion should be made of snake scale rock, am I right?"
Zhang Fenghai nodded: "The stone of snake scale rock is very strong and very suitable for foundation. As for red lotus stone powder, this thing is non-poisonous and can repel poisonous insects. Even if the two are mixed together to produce a cucumber-like fragrance, it is non-toxic and harmless to living creatures. ”
"The head of the family knows a lot. Ling Hao smiled faintly.
Zhang Fenghai just stared at Ling Hao, waiting for the following.
Stretching out his hand and pointing in the direction of the gate, Ling Hao continued: "May I ask the family master, what are the two stone lions at the door?"
"White marble, of course. Zhang Fenghai said, "This is a congratulatory gift personally sent by the head of the Lei family after the completion of my Zhang Mansion. ”
The Lei family, Xuanyan City, is second only to the Lei family in the City Lord's Mansion in terms of strength?
Ling Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he shook his head: "There is a thing called Impermanence Stone, which actually looks similar to white marble, but it is basically two things. Impermanence stone will produce a pine resin-like aroma when exposed to the sun or in an icy environment. I've already investigated this point. If the head of the house does not believe it, he can go and see it now. ”
Zhang Fenghai's eyes changed: "Impermanence Stone, what do you want to say?"
"Xuanyan City only blows the south wind all year round, and the gate of the Zhang Mansion is in the upwind direction of the entire mansion. Ling Hao said, "If the temperature reaches the required level, when the wind rises, the wind will blow the pine resin-like aroma released by the two impermanent stone lions into the entire Zhang Mansion." ”
Of course, this pine-like aroma is also non-toxic, even if it is mixed with the cucumber-like fragrance of Fuchu, it is not poisonous. ”
"But. Ling Hao stretched out his foot and nodded to the ground again, "If these two aromas come into contact with the liquid produced by the dissolution of leopard blood pollen, a chronic poison will be produced. This poison will not cause much harm to those who have cultivated internal strength, but it will slow down the speed at which the cultivator's cultivation will improve. ”
Ling Hao saw that Zhang Fenghai's face had changed, and continued: "And this kind of poison is extremely harmful to ordinary people who have not cultivated, may I ask the head of the family, after the completion of the Zhang Mansion, is there someone in the mansion who suffers from liver disease every year, and there will be nosebleeds for no reason, and the first-class is the kind that can't be stopped?"
As soon as these words came out, not only did the corners of Zhang Fenghai's eyebrows twitch heavily, but Ling Wan also looked shocked and said, "Uncle Zhang, the children before, they ...... them."
Zhang Fenghai stretched out his hand to interrupt Ling Wan's words, he stared at Ling Hao, and thought for a while before he said: "After the leopard blood pollen dissolves in water, the water will become red as blood, if someone spills that kind of thing in the mansion, no one will find out, and no one will tell me." ”
"That's true, but as long as the leopard blood pollen dissolves in water and comes into contact with a very small amount of Qinghua soil, that color will disappear in a very short time, and the effect will still be there. Ling Hao pointed to the roof of a house next to him, "Qinghua soil is a good material for making tiles. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, people in the house suffer from liver disease and nosebleeds, which usually occur in winter or summer, especially after rain or snow. ”
"When it rains and snows, as long as someone sprinkles the leopard blood pollen on the roof of the house or places it in the cracks of the tiles, the rain and snow water will melt with the leopard blood pollen and come into contact with the tiles made of green clay, and they will lose their color and fall down the roof to the ground. ”
"After the rain and snow, the wind usually blows, and the pine resin-like aroma released by the two stone lions at the door will be blown into the house, mixed with the cucumber-like fragrance that has always been in the house, and the liquid produced by the dissolution of leopard blood pollen on the ground, and the poison is invisibly prepared. ”
Ling Hao looked at Zhang Fenghai, whose face was getting more and more ugly, and continued: "Moreover, as long as the rain and snow water naturally evaporate or flow away, the mixed poison will stop refining itself. The human body absorbs this mixture very quickly, there are so many people in Zhangfu, and the mixture produced by a rainy and snowy weather will be absorbed by the people in the mansion in about ten minutes. ”
"Therefore, even if the head of the family had doubts before and asked the pharmacist to come to the mansion to investigate, most of them would not be able to find this kind of mixed poison that would only exist for a short time and have a subtle but very solid effect. Moreover, even if the people in the house are diagnosed, there will be no poison in the body of the person being treated, but the damage has already been formed. ”
Zhang Fenghai was silent for a long time, and then said, "Little brother, who do you think will do this?"
Seeing that Zhang Fenghai's name for himself had changed from "boy" to "little brother", Ling Hao knew that the head of the Zhang family had really begun to face himself.
"The possibility of having an internal ghost is very low, because one is not well controlled and can be easily discovered. Ling Hao analyzed, "Moreover, I heard my sister say that all the people who work in the Zhang family are personally selected by the head of the family, and the head of the family should know very well what they are." ”
"However, the head of the family seems to have said just now that the two stone lions carved from impermanence stone at the door were given by the Lei family? ”
"This is definitely not an accident. ”
The Zhang family's mansion was built with the help of the Lei family, and the head of the Lei family sent two stone lions after the mansion was built. In the past, Zhang Fenghai mentioned this matter and felt that the Lei family was very kind.
But now that he knows that the Lei family is the culprit who caused the Zhang family's people to die one after another, Zhang Fenghai clenched his fists, and the cold light in his eyes surged, obviously suppressing the anger in his heart.
Ling Wan looked at Ling Hao in a daze and asked, "Xiao Hao, how did you see this ......?"
"Didn't I tell you yesterday that I was accepted as a disciple by a mysterious medicine master who passed through here, and his old man taught me a lot of things. Ling Hao's smile was very gentle.
"Then can you help Uncle Zhang, the people of the Zhang family are very good. Ling Wan pleaded, "Three years ago, if it wasn't for the Zhang family's help, Uncle Dumb might have ...... My sister has never dared to tell you about this, for fear that you will think too much. ”
Ling Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Did the Zhang family save the life of the dumb uncle?
If Ling Wan hadn't told him now, he really didn't know about it.
The Zhang family takes care of their sister very much, and they have saved the life of their dumb uncle, Ling Hao is just such two relatives, and the Zhang family is kind to them, and they are kind to themselves.
Since this is the case, it is good to help the Zhang family, which can be regarded as repaying the Zhang family's kindness to our family. Ling Hao said secretly in his heart.
Seeing that the head of the Zhang family had already stepped forward and was about to leave, his murderous appearance looked like he had gathered people to fight hard with the Lei family, Ling Hao spoke again: "The head of the family, please stay, don't be impulsive yet." ”
"The Lei family has been murdering us since the beginning of the establishment of my Zhang family, if you hadn't woken up today, I might not have known until I died that they were so vicious, and they actually attacked people who didn't cultivate in my Zhang Mansion!"
Zhang Fenghai's eyes burned with anger: "Do you know how many people in my Zhang Mansion have died of liver ulceration over the years? Twenty-two! More than half of these twenty-two people are children who are not even ten years old!"
As long as Zhang Fenghai thinks of this now, he hates it so much that his teeth itch.
At the beginning, when someone in the mansion died of a liver ulcer, Zhang Fenghai felt a little strange, but all the pharmacists in the city were invited, but no one saw the abnormality of Zhang's mansion, and no one saw that the deceased died of poisoning.
At that time, the second-level pharmacist of the Lei family, after saying that he was powerless, even took the initiative to send someone to send a lot of medicine to the Zhang family to nourish his body, and Zhang Fenghai had always taken the second-level pharmacist as a benefactor.
Over the years, Zhang Fenghai has tried to renovate the mansion, clean up flowers and plants, kill rats and insects, and even ask monks to do things. But there is still no effect, and every year people in Fuchu die of liver ulcers.
Zhang Fenghai once felt that this was because of the retribution brought by killing too many people when he was a mercenary in his early years.
He had never doubted the Lei family, who he regarded as an ally and had provided him with a lot of help, nor had he ever doubted the second-level pharmacist of the Lei family, whom he regarded as a benefactor.
But in fact, the other party has been deceiving him Zhang Fenghai as a fool, arranging a mixed poison killing bureau to make his cultivation stagnate, and even poisoning people in his own house who have no cultivation.
In the sixteenth year of Zhang's house, twenty-two people died in the house!
How could he not hate?!
"This vengeance is indeed worth avenging, but not now. Ling Hao said, "As far as I know, Lei Xu, the head of the Lei family, is a perfect cultivator of the Xuanyuan Realm, and he is stronger than you, the head of the family. And the second and third heads of the Lei family are the same as the head of the family, and they are cultivated in the late stage of the Xuanyuan Realm. ”
"In addition to you, the Zhang family also has two cultivators who have cultivated in the middle of the Xuanyuan Realm. Although this lineup is good, it is undoubtedly much worse than the Lei family. ”
In the end, he was born as a mercenary, and Zhang Fenghai even thought of a ruthless method: "All the people in my Zhang family are good at experiencing the battle formation, and they are not at the same level as the group of fools of the Lei family who have no cultivation!
"This is indeed a solution, but what about after the net is broken? What about these people in Zhangfu? What about the families of the war dead? After being bought, men become slaves and women are prostitutes, and they are bullied like dogs?" Ling Hao asked in a deep voice.
After Ling Wan heard Ling Hao say this, she felt a sadness inexplicably.
Isn't he talking about what happened to him before?
Seeing that Zhang Fenghai fell silent, Ling Hao continued: "Moreover, even if you are desperate, the body of the head of the family, the ghost top snake and snake venom, can do it?"
Zhang Fenghai's face changed suddenly, and in his eyes staring at Ling Hao, an extremely obvious killing intent appeared.
