Phoenix’s Requiem

Chapter 118: The history of poison

Views:

After dinner, Lin Zainan called Yun Ruoyan and Yun Moxiao into the alchemy room.

He took out a porcelain bottle and poured the liquid inside into a porcelain plate. The dark red and black liquid flowed on the white porcelain plate, giving off a strange fishy smell.

"Grandfather, what is this?" Yun Ruoyan asked.

Lin Zainan did not immediately answer Yun Ruoyan's question, but took out a silver needle, submerged the tip of the silver needle into the liquid, and the silver needle instantly turned black.

"What kind of poison is this? It's so powerful!" Yun Moxiao smacked his tongue.

Lin Zainan carefully held the silver needle, the eyes of the three of them all fell on the silver needle, and the slender silver needle was more than half black.

"This is the poisonous blood forced out of Ruoyan's body." Lin Zainan said slowly.

Both Yun Moxiao and Yun Ruoyan were stunned, and when they looked at the poisonous blood on the porcelain plate on the table, their chests were full of energy and blood.

Yun Moxiao even slapped his palm on the table, "Who the hell is using such vicious poison to harm Ruoyan!"

"Brother." Yun Ruoyan turned to look at Yun Moxiao, with a solemn and sad face, "There is one thing that my grandfather will tell you in person, you must stay calm."

Yun Moxiao frowned slightly. Before coming to Lin's house, Yun Ruoyan told him that she had something to tell him. Then on the way, Yun Ruoyan told him about her poisoning.

Yun Moxiao thought that what Yun Ruoyan was going to tell him was that she was poisoned, but looking at Yun Ruoyan's expression now, it seemed that what Lin Zainan was going to tell him next was worse than Yun Ruoyan being poisoned .

"Grandpa, tell me." Although Yun Moxiao has an impulsive temper, he grew up in the army after all, and when it's time to calm down, he is absolutely calm.

"Xiao Er." Lin Zainan said in a deep voice, "Your mother was poisoned to death!"

Although he had already prepared himself, even though he told himself to stay calm no matter what he heard, Yun Moxiao stood up abruptly, both hands clenched into fists.

"Grandfather, you said that mother was... killed by someone!?" He asked.

"Xiao Er, your mother, my daughter was poisoned to death." Lin Zainan repeated: "The poison she was poisoned was the poison in this porcelain plate, which is also the poison that your sister was poisoned in!"

Yun Moxiao shifted his gaze to Yun Ruoyan, Yun Ruoyan nodded and explained: "When that man poisoned my mother, my mother was already pregnant with me, so the poison was passed from my mother's body to me. I was infected with fetal poison."

"This poison is not only vicious but also weird." Lin Zainan continued: "The incubation period is very long, and there are almost no signs of poisoning at the initial stage, but once the poison occurs, there is almost no cure."

"Fortunately, Ruo Yan's fate is great, and he obtained the holy medicine to detoxify in the royal secret realm, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable when the poison erupted on his body." Lin Zainan couldn't help sighing.

Yun Moxiao tried his best to suppress the blood in his chest, he clenched his fists and smashed them against the wall, the whole house seemed to be shaken.

"I will definitely find out the poisoner and tear him into pieces!" Yun Moxiao's voice suppressed anger, hatred, and strong killing intent.

Yun Ruoyan and Lin Zainan felt the surging spiritual power in Yun Moxiao's body, and were pleasantly surprised to find that Yun Moxiao's sword master had already reached the eighth level.

Lin Zainan looked at his granddaughter and grandson in front of him. One of them was thirteen years old and the other was eighteen years old. One was at the peak of the seventh-level sword master, and the other had already reached the eighth-level sword master. Looking at Li Guo as a whole, it is difficult for the siblings to find rivals among their peers.

While feeling relieved, Lin Zainan decided to tell Yun Ruoyan and Yun Moxiao all the clues he found just now.

"During this time, I have been researching the origin of this poison." Lin Zainan said, then turned around and took out a book from the wooden shelf behind.

Lin Zainan unfolded the book on the table, Yun Ruoyan and Yun Moxiao followed Lin Zainan's movements and set their eyes on the book.

This book is simple and heavy, and the pages are made of silk cloth. You can tell how old it is from the dim color. There are five gold-plated characters on the cover of the book, which are called Shen Yuan Yizulu.

The Shen Yuan Continent was not originally composed of four countries, but people of many different races. This Shen Yuan Alien Race Record is a book that records those ancient races.

Lin Zainan flipped through the book lightly, and said, "Through analyzing the properties and smell of the poison, I judged that the poison did not come from the mainland of China. After reading a lot of ancient books, I finally found out in this book Discovered the origin of the poison."

With the end of Lin Zainan's voice, he stopped turning the pages of the book, pointed his finger on the page, and said, "This is it."

Both Yun Ruoyan and Yun Moxiao couldn't help getting closer. There were pictures and texts in the book. The pictures showed various poisonous insects and weeds that Yun Ruoyan had never seen before, as well as some strangely dressed people.

The text is some records about an ancient race, and it is recorded that this is an ancient Wu clan living in the deep mountains and old forests of Yue State.

There are many poisonous insects and weeds in the deep forest, and they used these poisonous insects and weeds to make various poisons.

Among them was an introduction about the mother-child poison, which was very similar to the poison Yun Ruoyan suffered from.

"This poison has latent properties. How long it lasts depends on the physical condition of the mother and child. If the mother is strong, the child will die first. If the child is strong, the mother will die first. Mother and child cannot live and die together." Lin Zainan read this passage.

If the mother is strong, the son will die first, and if the son is strong, the mother will die first. How much this poisonous person hates their mother and daughter!

"The person who poisoned him must have hated his mother very much." Yun Ruoyan looked at Lin Zainan and said, "Grandpa, I have always suspected that it was the mother who was poisoned by Second Aunt An."

Yun Moxiao suddenly raised his head to look at Yun Ruoyan, "You say she is the mother who was poisoned by the An family?"

Yun Ruoyan shook her head, "I just suspect, there is no evidence."

"Although An's motive is to harm Yuemei, the possibility of her poisoning is not high."

Lin Zainan shook his head slightly, and said: "Yuemei was poisoned when she was pregnant with Ruoyan, and Mrs. An was also pregnant with Liujia at that time. And at that time, Yunlan was quite considerate in protecting Yuemei, and Mrs. An was just a concubine. , it is almost impossible to use her ability to poison Yun Lan under her eyes."

After listening to Lin Zainan's words, Yun Ruoyan also felt that if An Shi poisoned her, it would be impossible for Yun Lan's shrewdness to not notice it for so many years.

"If it's not An Shi, who else would it be?" Yun Moxiao said to himself.

For a moment, the three of them fell into silence. Lin Yuemei had never been hostile to anyone. If it wasn't the only one who hurt her motives, who else would there be

"I think that if we want to find the murderer, we still have to start with the poison." After a short silence, Yun Ruoyan said: "This kind of poison is produced by the Wu clan of Yue, so we should start with the Wu clan. "

Lin Zainan sighed, "I asked friends from the Yue Kingdom to investigate this Wu tribe, but the news came back that this tribe disappeared many years ago."

"Disappeared?" Yun Ruoyan and Yun Moxiao said in unison.

In fact, Lin Zainan's investigation lost its clue here, and the three of them fell silent again.

Yun Ruoyan flipped through the records of Shen Yuan's alien races, and suddenly came across a passage, which introduced that this ancient Wu tribe had split several times due to differences in beliefs, and some tribesmen left the tribe.

"Grandfather, this part of the Wu clan who split from the clan probably also mastered the secret recipe for making poison."

Yun Ruoyan guessed: "And the poison my mother was poisoned by is from the descendants of the split Wu clan."

"Most likely."

Lin Zainan thought for a while and said, then he pointed to the text and read: "Some of the Wu people believe in the Nine Heavens Longevity Buddha and beg for immortality. The witch clan is split."

Yun Ruoyan gently turned the page of the book, and then read: "The clansmen who believe in the reincarnation Buddha moved out from the place where they lived for generations, and after moving out, they were scattered all over the Shenyuan Continent, living a wandering life."

"According to the meaning in the book, it is very likely that there are people from the Wu clan who left the country?" Yun Moxiao asked.

"It's not possible." Yun Ruoyan continued, "It's definitely there, and the poison my mother was poisoned must have come from their hands, so finding him or them now is the key to finding the murderer."

"It's just that Liguo is so big, finding them is definitely a needle in a haystack." Yun Ruoyan sighed slightly.

Yun Moxiao said with a firm gaze, "Even if the sea is drained, I will find them!"

"Look here." Lin Zainan pointed to a picture and said.

The two looked at the picture, and saw that it was a sitting statue of Avalokitesvara and Buddha back to back. The accompanying text below introduced that this picture was a portrait of the reincarnated Buddha.

"Grandfather, why are there two people in this portrait?" Yun Ruoyan asked puzzled.

Lin Zainan continued to read the introduction, and then said: "The reincarnated Buddha was originally two people. Avalokitesvara is an offering in this life and Buddha is an offering in the next life. Believers worship Avalokitesvara in this life during the day, and Buddha in the next life at night. They need to be around the clock. Consummation can only be achieved if the incense burns continuously."

"Grandpa." Yun Ruoyan's mind flashed, and she hurriedly said, "You said that these descendants of the witch clan need to worship their gods day and night, so how do they make a living?"

Lin Zainan did not answer Yun Ruoyan's question, but asked, "Ruoyan, did you think of something?"

"Ruoyan, tell me what comes to your mind quickly, don't make a fool of yourself." Yunmo Xiao said anxiously.

Yun Ruoyan said: "I wonder if these descendants of the witch clan will hide in the temples. Only when the incense is most prosperous in the temples can they ensure that their reincarnated Buddhas will receive more worship."

When Yun Ruoyan said this, both Lin Zainan and Yun Moxiao's eyes lit up. In order to make the gods you believe in receive more worship, not only is it possible to hide in a temple, but it is also possible to build a special temple!
