Chapter 66: Silver Birch Village
Dongzhen Empire –
Yueshu traced the breath of the corpse poison flower all the way, came to the Dongzhen Empire, and came to the Zhendu.
Originally, she thought that as long as she pursued the breath of the corpse poison flower, she could find any clues, but after she came to Zhendu, she could no longer find the breath of the corpse poison flower, which made her start to have a headache, and finally found a clue and broke it again.
She hadn't had a good rest for a few days, and since the clue was broken, she would go back to the inn to rest first, and then make plans, thinking about it, she went back to the inn that Mu Ran asked people to prepare for her in advance, and rested.
"Driving-" A man in a strong suit, riding a black horse, rushed to Zhendu, passing a small stream, just to let him rest for a while, and casually let the horse drink water to quench his thirst.
He led the black horse to the stream, patted the horse's back, signaled the horse to drink water, he himself squatted down, picked up the cool stream water, was about to heh, he smelled a trace of unusual blood, he fixed his eyes, there was a corpse lying at the bottom of the water, shriveled, he was shocked, immediately stood up, vigilantly observed the surrounding environment, found that there was a village not far from the stream, somehow the village was silent and terrible, faintly weird.
He led the black horse and walked towards the village, wanting to find out.
Walking into the village, let alone hearing the human voice, he didn't even hear the dog barking, and he turned around, and he didn't even see half a figure, and this village is not like an uninhabited village, where have all the people in that village gone? Not only is there no human figure, not even a dog shadow, it is impossible to think about it.
He was about to push open the door of a room and go in to see the situation, when a black shadow flashed behind him, he immediately noticed it, turned around suddenly, and saw that the black shadow seemed to be running into the alley next to him, he didn't think much about it, and immediately chased after it. He chased a few lanes, and when he ran to the mouth of an alley, suddenly a black shadow came out of nowhere, and rushed towards him......
The black shadow spread its claws, and before he could react from the shock, his two claws clawed, and five long blood marks were scratched out of his arms and chest, and the wounds were bleeding nonstop, but black blood flowed out.
It's poisonous!
He reacted, knowing that he was not the opponent of the Black Shadow, so he hurried to get out. The black shadow was not as he wanted, attacking him like crazy, he pulled out the long sword he carried with him, resisted the attack of the black shadow, took advantage of his unpreparedness, and quickly stabbed him with a sword, and escaped with luck, at this time he had many scratches on his body, and he didn't care about the injury, let alone the corpse poison on the wound was frantically eroding his body, he tried his best to fly to Zhendu, thinking that he must quickly inform the second son and the young lady of the matter, so that they could be careful to deal with it.
Yueshu, who had a good rest for a day, after explaining some things to her subordinates, was ready to go out and pursue it again to see if she could find any clues, and before she could get out of the inner courtyard of the inn, she saw a guard, stumbling in, covered in black blood stains, and as soon as he appeared, she smelled a familiar breath, which was actually the breath of a corpse poison flower!
After Liufeng saw her, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he immediately knelt on the ground, "Miss!"
"What's wrong?" she hurried over to check on his injuries.
"Miss, no, it's poisonous!" he hurriedly stopped, kneeling and shrinking back with great effort, at this time he was like a strong crossbow, but the strong faith in his heart supported him, so that he would not fall immediately.
Yueshu's outstretched hand paused, it was corpse poison, and the corpse king really appeared in Dongzhen......
"Miss, Silver Birch Village...... Poisoned corpse ...... The young man ...... "He spits black blood in his mouth, and the corpse poison has eroded his internal organs, and he may not live."
"Flowing Wind!"
She was slightly startled, took out a silk handkerchief, wrapped her fingers, and clicked on several acupuncture points on his body, "Don't bother talking anymore." ”
"Be careful......" He closed his eyes and fell straight to the ground, unresponsive.
Yueshu was stunned, the silk handkerchief stained with black blood slipped from her hand, and the figure in the courtyard flickered, and the flowing wind had been taken away.
She stared at the black blood stains on the ground, frowning slightly.
Silver Birch Village?
Poisonous corpses?
Young son?
She didn't think about it anymore, she had to go to Yinhua Village to see what was going on there before she could draw conclusions.
Figures in the courtyard scurried to her side, kneeling on one knee and holding a delicate box in both hands.
"Miss, this is what the second son ordered someone to bring it, and specially instructed the young lady to carry it closely. ”
Yueshu bowed slightly, opened the box, and a pair of snow gloves were neatly placed inside, and after she took them out, she put them away.
"Hmm. She bowed her head and motioned for the guards to leave.
Mu Ran sent snow silk gloves here, presumably because he found some clues, so good.
Yue Shu came to Yinhua Village, and the smell of the corpse poison flower here was much stronger than that in Yue Wubai's room, which should be because the corpse king had been here for a long time.
When she entered the village, she saw black blood on the ground, but the blood was of the wind, not of the Corpse King.
She followed the bloodstains of the flowing wind and found the place where they had fought at the beginning, where she found a different bloodstain, very poisonous, and had a special fragrance, not the scent of the corpse poison flower, but ......
Yueshu squatted down, took out her snow gloves and put them on, checked the blood stains on the ground, analyzed the composition of the bloodstains, and as she analyzed them deeply, her face also changed.
This turned out to be the blood of her people, but at this time, it was the blood of a poisonous corpse that was extremely poison......ous!
Her eyes were full of anger, no matter who did it, she dared to do such an unforgivable thing to her people, she would definitely make that life worse than death!
Yueshu stood up and followed the bloodstain in the other direction, coming to a wood.
Strange, how did the bloodstains get here and disappear.
Yueshu scanned the woods for a week and found no abnormalities.
The blood is gone, the breath is gone, why is that?
Could it be ......
She had a bold guess in mind, but before that, she had to find something to justify her guess.
After Mu Qing came to the Dongzhen Empire, he received news that most of the well water in Zhendu had an unknown poison, and the people who drank the well water disappeared inexplicably overnight after discovering the poisoning.
In addition, in order to prevent someone from poisoning a well, and causing the wells in the same water source to be polluted, the water in the well is only in and out of the well, so so many wells are poisoned at the same time, and no one can see it, it should be a problem at the water source.
When Mu Qingfu received the news, he also received a mission notice to find out the unknown toxin and rescue the missing people.
For this reason, he traced the source of the water and came to the outskirts, where there is a stream and a groundwater that is connected, if someone directly poisons the stream, then the poison should flow from this stream, but the result he came here to find out is that this stream is not poisonous, but there is a dried corpse inside, and there are two blood holes in the neck of this dry corpse, which are not poisonous, but they are sucked dry blood and died.
Mu Qingyan also entered Yinhua Village, carefully investigated the situation in the village, and found that basically the whole village was dead, there was at least one dried corpse in each room, and the way of death was to die after sucking up blood, and the time of death was basically determined, it was what happened the night before.
Mu Qing found dark red blood stains in a courtyard, not poisonous blood, and with a little doubt, he followed the blood stains to a wood.
Mu Qing looked at the woods and did not rush in, but observed the surrounding environment.
The breeze was blowing, the green silk was dancing, the cloud sleeves were flying, a special smell was wafting through his nose, and his expression had a trace of solemnity.
