"Why are you so panicked!" The head of the Lingxing Sword Sect frowned and stopped the guards who ran in.
The guard looked panic-stricken, panting heavily, probably because he ran too fast, he stammered: "Okay, something serious happened! Those corpses... those corpses... all turned into charcoal!"
"What?" Everyone stood up in surprise.
"What's going on?" Yan Junmo asked.
"A few of us are guarding the corpses in shifts. Just now there was some noise in the room. I opened the door and saw that the corpses were slowly turning into black charcoal..." The guard gasped and said.
"There is such a thing? Quick, let's go and see!"
Su Li and Shangguan Lu looked at each other, then followed the crowd out.
It has been half a month since Nangong Villa was destroyed. Most of the corpses have been buried, but there are still seven or eight corpses in the morgue for autopsy.
The place of mortuary was in Xiyuan's house, when one opened the door and entered, there was a smell of decay. Fortunately, the weather is not hot now, and there are a lot of ice cubes in the room, otherwise the smell will only be more smoky.
When I entered the door, I saw that there was only a pile of black charcoal left on the table where the corpse had been placed.
"Here, what's going on here..."
This is probably the question in everyone's mind.
But at this time, Nangong Yu thought of something, and his face turned pale immediately, "These corpses have become like this, then my parents and the others..."
"Oh..." Everyone sighed.
In the oppressive atmosphere, there was only the sound of Nangong Yu's low sobs. Nangong was standing beside her, gently hugging her shoulders.
"Oh, I just remembered something." Master Wuyin, the abbot of Mingjue Temple, said, "I also saw this kind of situation 20 years ago. The corpse turned into black charcoal in the blink of an eye. What happened back then It’s also quite a sensation.”
"Oh? Does Master Wuyin know what's going on?" asked the head of the Qingshan School.
"When I was traveling, I passed a small town where there were white flags hanging everywhere, and it seemed that every household was doing errands. I couldn't bear it, so I rescued him and learned about this strange phenomenon. Many people died at that time. Then the body turned into black charcoal within a few days, and there were no bones left. It was later learned that a pack of people with evil intentions in a neighboring town accidentally got a bottle of poison, and then poured it into the well in that town. The poison is like boiling water. Boil it and it will no longer be poisonous, but if you drink the well water directly, you will be in a trance and then die suddenly, and finally the body will be carbonized." Master Wuyin said while reciting the prayer beads in his hand, "Later, the old man investigated and found out that The poison is called Wucaozi, and it is made from black grass."
"Looking in a trance and then dying suddenly, is it because of this kind of poison that the Nangong Villa was wiped out?" asked the leader of a certain faction.
"From my point of view, I'm afraid that's the case. Black grass is a peculiar kind of grass, and its toxicity cannot be detected by ordinary methods." Master Wuyin recited a sentence of Amitabha, and his compassionate eyes were full of regret. , "I'm afraid that's why this poison was used."
"Where can I get this poison?" Yan Junmo asked a key question. If this poison is so powerful, it is really too dangerous.
"Blackgrass is an extremely rare herbal medicine. As far as I know, it is only available in the Scarlet Fire Canyon of the headquarters of the Devil's Cult." Master Wuyin said another Buddhist name.
"It's the Devil's Cult again!" Nangong Zheng clenched his fists, "What kind of enmity does the Devil's Cult have against our Nangong family?"
