Spores are the first step in becoming a mushroom life. Unlike plants, spores cannot perform photosynthesis, which means they cannot support themselves, so they must find support.
And now, Jiang Beiran is their chosen big "backer".
As long as they develop into mycelium, they can get a lot of nutrients from Jiang Beiran's body to grow themselves.
If it is some "friendly" spores, while absorbing nutrients from the "backer", they will also provide the "backer" with water and elements necessary for survival, which can be regarded as a win-win relationship.
But some spores are pure stinky hooligans, they just absorb nutrients, and it has nothing to do with them whether the "backer" dies or not.
And the batch of spores that entered Jiangbeiran's body now were such a group of stinky hooligans. They were sucked into Jiangbeiran's body and quickly dispersed to find a place where they could have a full meal.
"Hey... This body seems to be well nourished."
A muscular spore wiped the saliva from his mouth, and was about to pounce towards the delicious blood when he saw a pure white figure appear in front of him.
"Get out of the way! Otherwise, I will hit hard."
And the white figure just smiled slightly, and then punched out.
Looking at the spores in front of him, the white figure clapped his hands and disappeared in place in an instant.
"what!!"
"what happened!?"
"What are these white devils!? Why are they so cruel!? Ah!!!"
…
Amid the screams, the spores disappeared in pieces, without even a chance to move forward.
After taking two mouthfuls of spore powder, Jiang Beiran almost understood the function of these spores.
'parasitic. '
Unlike organ-destroying powders, spores are actually more troublesome to deal with, because once they're established in a target's body, they're hard to get rid of.
The reason is that the poison can be neutralized with antidote to achieve the purpose of detoxification.
But the spores are not good. Whatever panacea you eat, it can absorb it with you, without any prejudice.
Therefore, if you want to get rid of the parasitic spores, you can basically use physical means, but as long as these spores survive, they will multiply rapidly, and the body will be full of rooted mushrooms. Cutting them and cutting your own flesh are actually no difference.
But once the spores couldn't be dealt with, they would completely drain the body they depended on, which made Jiang Beiran think about the death of that person.
'It should be covered in mushrooms. '
Knowing how troublesome the spore powder is, Jiang Beiran waved them away, walked up to Qu Yangze and said, "Can you inhale these spores back into your body?"
Qu Yangze nodded after listening, and sucked all the spore powder into his stomach with a big mouth.
'Talent...'
With a word of emotion, Jiang Beiran patted Qu Yangze and said, "Follow me to the alchemy room later."
Although the mushroom grew from Qu Yangze's body, Jiang Beiran found that the quality was exceptionally high, not inferior to those ten-year or century-old treasures.
If this kind of precious material is eaten directly, it will undoubtedly be a huge waste.
So Jiang Beiran planned to try to train it into a poison pill next time, and it was a poison pill that Qu Yangze could take as a tonic.
After watching the mushroom explosion performance, Jiang Beiran took a group of people back to the living room, and sat down at the table to make scented tea.
"Is there anything else to gain?" Jiang Beiran asked while pouring water.
"No more." Wu Qingce and Qu Yangze shook their heads together.
Nodding his head, Jiang Bei then concentrated on making scented tea.
…
At noon the next day, Jiang Beiran brought Wu Qingce and Qu Yangze into a private room in a restaurant, where Wen Yunyan asked Gu Qinghuan to meet.
The reason why Jiang Beiran wanted to come was naturally because Gu Qinghuan said that he was only 90% sure that he would be able to escape unscathed.
Then I have to make sure that 10% will not happen.
As for bringing Wu Qingce and Qu Yangze together, I just hope that they can see Qing Huan's negotiation skills and study hard.
Arching his hands in the direction where his senior brother "disappeared", Gu Qinghuan sat down cross-legged and waited quietly.
After about half an incense stick, there was a knock on the door of the box, and Gu Qinghuan opened his eyes and said, "Please come in."
With a sound of "squeak", the wooden door was pushed open, and a young man who looked very gloomy looked into the box, then stepped in, looked at Gu Qinghuan and asked, "Are you the Gu Kanwan that Guan San said? "
"I'm right here." Gu Qinghuan nodded, "Your Excellency must be the third son of the Wen family."
"Yes, it's me." After Wen Yunyan finished speaking, he walked to the table and sat down cross-legged.
"I wonder if Mr. Wen likes wine or tea?" Gu Qinghuan took out the wine bowl and teacup at the same time and asked Wen Yunyan.
"You can drink anything. I want you to check something for me this time."
Seeing that Wen Yunyan was so resolute and refreshing, Gu Qinghuan poured a bowl of wine and pushed it in front of Wen Yunyan.
"Mr. Wen wants to ask about your elder brother?"
"That's right, as long as you can find evidence that the bastards from the Liu family killed my elder brother, I can give you whatever you want."
After taking a sip of wine, Gu Qinghuan smiled and said, "Mr. Wen is serious?"
"I, Wen Yunyan, always keep my word."
"Then please first ask Mr. Wen a few questions."
"Say, as long as it can help you find evidence, I will answer everything."
Since Wen Yunyan found this place, he has naturally heard all kinds of deeds of Gu Qinghuan, and the two friends strongly recommended him to come here for a try.
So even though they had never met, Gu Qinghuan's position in his heart was not low, so Wen Yunyan did not put on any airs of being a child of a big family.
"Mr. Wen, did you ever think that brother Ling was not killed by the Liu family?"
After hearing this, Wen Yunyan slapped the table and said, "Impossible!"
"As far as I know, Brother Ling and Miss Lin Yan were discovered at the same time. If it was really the Liu family who killed them, of course they also know that they are the most likely to be suspected, so why not destroy the corpse on the spot? Instead, just throw the corpse there?"
Wen Yunyan smiled disdainfully, and replied: "Because they know that whether they are buried or not, we will always think of them."
Jiang Beiran, who was standing not far away, couldn't help complaining in his heart when he heard this answer.
'Okay, there's something inside...'
Although I haven't visited all the six countries of the Central Plains, but based on my current feelings, apart from the fact that the powerhouses of these six countries are much higher than Sheng, their IQs are actually similar to those of the high-level members of Sheng.
And the IQ is similar, which means that there will be a lot of "plots" of dog blood.
Like this kind of death incident that is obviously full of loopholes on the surface, no one has studied it carefully at all, and directly decided that it must be a good thing done by the other party.
It's as if they are waiting for the protagonist to come over, frown, and have a flash of inspiration, and then use their smart big heads to deduce these clues that even a dog can see.
When Jiang Beiran held back his complaints, Gu Qinghuan said, "I don't know if Young Master Lin has ever thought about it. Brother Ling's body was found so easily because someone wanted you to see it quickly and go to conflict with the Liu family. ?"
Wen Yunyan frowned after hearing this, "You mean someone wants to start a war between us and the Liu family?"
"Yes, that possibility does exist."
After a moment of silence, Wen Yunyan asked again: "But who would do that?"
"I will investigate this point slowly, but during the investigation period, I hope to get the full support of Mr. Wen, otherwise we will have trouble getting through some places."
After hearing this, Wen Yunyan readily agreed: "Don't worry, as long as you are helping me with something, I will definitely do my best to help you."
"I am relieved to have Mr. Wen's words."
"So you took over this matter?" Wen Yunyan asked.
"Mr. Wen's bid is so high, I naturally have no reason not to accept it."
"Okay! Then I'll wait for your good news." Wen Yunyan finished speaking and put a conch-like shell in front of Gu Qinghuan, "As long as you talk into it, I can hear the sound."
'Hey guys... the phone is out! ? '
After listening to Wen Yunyan's words, Jiang Beiran was a little surprised. He thought that his way of sending messages by flying a kite was high-end enough, but he didn't expect that people had already started using "telephones".
"Okay, I will." Gu Qinghuan nodded, "No matter if I find any clues, I will notify Mr. Wen as soon as possible.
"Since that's the case, please find out the real culprit as soon as possible. I still have important things to do, so let's go first." Wen Yunyan stood up suddenly and said.
"Forgive me not far away." Gu Qinghuan also stood up along with her.
"You're welcome." Waving with his back to Gu Qinghuan, Wen Yunyan left the box.
Seeing Wen Yunyan leave, if Jiang Beiran wanted to comment on this conversation, it would be done in one go.
After the whole negotiation, the two did not have too many conflicts and conflicts, they both went straight to the point without any nonsense.
Jiang Beiran originally thought that a local snake like Wen Yunyan would definitely say something similar to "If you can find it, you can have whatever you want, but if you can't find it, then I will screw your head off" when asking people to do things.
And the reason why such words did not appear was obviously that the friends that Gu Qinghuan made were more important, so Wen Yunyan, who was recommended, naturally had to take care of his friends' face.
To sum it up, Gu Qinghuan is doing better than he imagined. It can be said that this three-acre land is already very tasty.
'Hey, I should have known that I shouldn't have brought the other two. '
After all, the only thing you can see in this box is Qinghuan's first floor, so it's easy for the two to have the idea of 'oh, so the negotiation is so easy'.
But thinking that the three of them often stay together, I believe they should still understand Qing Huan's strength.
Taking off his clothes and sitting at the wine table, Jiang Beiran looked at Gu Qinghuan and asked, "Tell me about your next plan."
Arching his hands towards his senior brother, Gu Qinghua replied: "I'm going to ask Wen Yunyan to help me enter a high-end place that can only be visited by a few big families, and then slowly investigate in the direction of Biyunzong."
'A very reasonable choice. '
The purpose of going to a high-end place is to show that I have tried my best to investigate the Liu family, and I turned my attention away after it was fruitless, which is natural enough.
After all, no matter who looked at it, the Liu family must be the most suspicious in this matter.
So it must be no problem to check from them.
"Okay, let me know when you meet next time." Jiang Beiran waved to the corner of the room and left the box.
Since the system didn't pop up any options, it means that helping Wen Yunyan to investigate the cause of his elder brother's death will not cause them any trouble. If the general direction is okay, the rest is just to make sure the details are correct.
As for the details, Jiang Beiran was very relieved of Gu Qinghuan.
Seeing the senior brother waving towards him, Wu Qingce and the others also took off their clothes, bowed their hands towards Gu Qinghuan and left with the senior brother.
…
Walking on the street, Jiang Beiran was thinking about the next step while triggering the system options.
After bypassing another table of rangers who drank and didn't pay, a paper kite suddenly landed in front of Jiang Beiran.
Reaching out to take the kite, Jiang Beiran quickly read the contents of his heart and praised in his heart.
'As expected of a protagonist-type character, his work efficiency is still acceptable. '
This paper kite was sent to him by Huo Hongfei. Before that, Jiang Beiran arranged for him to go to Zeng Guo to investigate the whereabouts of Emperor Gu. Unexpectedly, there would be progress so soon.
'There are a lot of talents, there are a lot of talents, the beauty is very, the beauty is very. '
However, Huo Hongfei's progress was not as fast as Gu Qinghuan's. Gu Qinghuan had already locked Zhan Riliu and thought of a plan on how to obtain it, while Huo Hongfei only found some clues.
However, it was more difficult for Huo Hongfei to investigate Emperor Gu than for Gu Qinghuan.
After all, Zhan Riliu was the definite news from Shi Yutong from Jiangbei Rancong, while Huang Gu was the less certain gossip from Lin Shiyun.
The difficulty of which of the two can be said to be very different.
Before Jiang Beiran asked the local residents to search for so long but did not find any clues, but Huo Hongfei immediately made progress as soon as he left, which can be said to be quite impressive.
What Huo Hongfei wrote in the letter was that he found out that someone had secretly sold Emperor Gu in the black market.
It’s just that Emperor’s Gu is a contraband among contraband. Even Zeng Guo, the country with the most free trade, can’t tolerate it, so very few people know about it, and those who know it won’t tell others I have participated in this competition myself, so it is extremely difficult to investigate.
Huo Hongfei's progress now is that he found one of the merchants who had seen the seller of the Emperor's Gu in the black market, and told him where the seller of the Emperor's Gu used to be.
Although Huo Hongfei kept apologizing in the letter, saying that his investigation had not made any substantial progress.
But Jiang Beiran already felt that this man was a little too modest, and it was enough to confirm that Zeng Guo did indeed have Emperor Gu.
All that's left is to investigate slowly.
Back at Feifu, Jiang Beiran bypassed Shi Fenglan's flying pounce and went directly to the study, and wrote a reply letter to Huo Hongfei.
After sending the letter, Jiang Beiran returned to the living room and asked the people who were saluting to him.
"We'll have a barbecue tonight."
