Xiao Changfeng was carefully trained by Emperor Youning. His ability and martial arts were not inferior to those of the other princes. Xiao Huayong trapped him for an hour, but he still found a way to break the trap and rushed out.
Just as he and his men peeled away the fog in front of them, saw the direction clearly, and rushed towards the gate of life, a very faint fragrance, so faint that it was almost imperceptible in the wind, dissipated.
The fragrance was not strong or pungent, and it was in the mountains and forests, at the turn of spring and summer. Even the extremely alert Xiao Changfeng did not take it seriously, especially after being trapped for so long. He thought that he had not been able to get in touch with his subordinates at the post station for an hour, and he didn't know what tricks Shen Xihe was playing. He was anxious, and all he could think about was getting back to the post station as soon as possible.
The first person to have hallucinations was the subordinate who had been trapped behind him for too long and was physically and mentally exhausted. The psychedelic aroma caused his hallucinations and magnified the evil in his heart. He turned around and saw his colleagues with whom he had friction every day. The unpleasantness with his colleagues instantly rushed into his mind. He drew his sword without hesitation and slashed at his companion when he was caught off guard.
This action scared the colleagues around him so much that they quickly dodged. Xiao Changfeng, who was rushing in the front, realized that something was wrong. When he turned around, he not only saw this person suffering from hallucinations, but some people fell down foaming at the mouth, while some people released the deepest malice and repressed desires in their hearts and made many shocking moves.
Some of those with strong minds felt dizzy and could only hold the ground with their swords to support their bodies.
"The fragrance is so fragrant, it's really frightening." Xiao Huayong's eyesight is stronger than Shen Xihe's. Shen Xihe can see the figure swaying, but he can see it more clearly. Even he is a little shocked.
"It's not the incense that's frightening, but the human heart." Shen Xihe said calmly, "This incense is harmless, it just makes people hallucinate. These people who behave so ugly are the result of greed and malice in their hearts."
Human nature just needs a reason to be exposed and indulged.
Those who are not ugly are not necessarily without malice, but they have more kindness than malice in their hearts, and they are better able to control themselves. A person's goodness and evil is actually a manifestation of self-control.
People who can control themselves well will not easily make impulsive actions that they will regret later.
"It is admirable that it can arouse the evil in people's hearts." Xiao Huayong chuckled.
Facing Xiao Huayong's praise, Shen Xihe was not blindly modest, but said realistically: "The way of using incense is actually not very clever. If Your Highness had not trapped them and agitated them, it would not have been possible to achieve such a remarkable effect."
And the reason why they were so panicked was due to the fact that the fragrance prepared by Madam Qin was light and did not arouse suspicion. If it was Mandragora, they would have noticed it long ago, but Xiao Changfeng had not noticed it until now. The more they inhaled, the better the hallucinogenic effect.
As long as Xiao Changfeng realizes that it is an illusion caused by this faint fragrance, and takes his people to evacuate the place quickly, it won't take long for these people to recover.
Xiao Changfeng certainly did not doubt the faint fragrance that was almost imperceptible in most cases. He first knocked out the people who were deeply in hallucination, and realized that he felt a little dizzy, but it was not a big problem. Looking back, most of them had fallen down. He could not ignore these people, so he gave a look to those who had not fallen down yet and were struggling to hold on, and they fell down one after another tacitly.
