"It means..." Ling'er thought of something again, and quickly put away the dead branches in his hands. He also wiped his hands hard on his dress a few times, and then said, "There are no eating insects here." It’s poisonous. These trees are poisoned.”
After saying that, Ling'er pulled Brother Yang back a few steps in a serious manner, looking around in horror.
"Don't be afraid, girl! The poison that can spread into the soil is very limited, and after so many years, it has long since dissipated and cannot hurt anyone." Qi Yang hurriedly comforted Ling'er.
Ling'er caught something from his words and raised her head in surprise: "Did you know that these trees were poisoned?"
"I guessed a little based on the terrain here." Qi Yang answered truthfully.
"Is this what you just figured out?" Ling'er recalled what happened before.
Qi Yang nodded. If he had known that Ling'er would discover these details, he would have told Ling'er just now. Originally, I didn't want to scare Ling'er, but I didn't expect that Ling'er was still frightened.
"Don't worry. If there are still poisons on these dead branches, there won't be cobwebs on them." Qi Yang pointed to the broken cobwebs hanging in the forest that looked old.
Ling'er nodded. Brother Yang was right. She was worried too much.
"Then where do these poisons come from?" Ling'er asked again. She felt that Brother Yang must know about this.
Qi Yang did know, but he couldn't say too much and only answered: "It seeped out from the ground."
"This poison is really amazing! Just a little leakage can kill a large forest. If it spreads directly, wouldn't the entire mountain suffer?" Ling'er couldn't help but sigh.
"Well, the consequences are disastrous!" Qi Yang responded.
"But how can poison leak out of the ordinary underground? There shouldn't be the kind of ancient tombs Zhong Gong mentioned down there, right?" Ling'er boldly guessed.
"It can be considered an ancient tomb!" Qi Yang said.
Brother Yang really knows everything! Ling'er asked curiously: "You know this place so well, but have you been to Fenglong Mountain before?"
"I've never been here. I just saw records about Fenglong Mountain from a secret file inside the door." Qi Yang explained.
Secret files! Ling'er was shocked. She actually found out from Brother Yang a secret file that only Yixing envoys could see! No wonder Brother Yang didn't say anything before, but why did he say it now?
Ling'er looked at Brother Yang cautiously. Did Brother Yang break the rules for her? If that were the case, then she would be absolutely to blame for her death.
"Since it is a secret file, you must not tell others easily, right?" Ling'er asked tentatively.
"It is true that it cannot be spread to outsiders." Qi Yang immediately noticed Ling'er's panic expression and explained, "But the girl is not an outsider. I believe in the girl."
When Ling'er heard this, her face suddenly turned red. She was flattered that Brother Yang didn't treat her like an outsider!
"However, knowing this may bring danger to the girl. Please don't ask any more questions!" Qi Yang added.
It turns out that Brother Yang didn't say anything before because he was afraid that he would be in danger if he found out. Ling'er was moved. But since he knew that this was Yixingmen's secret, Ling'er wouldn't ask even if he wanted to know. She will never embarrass Brother Yang!
"I understand. I won't ask." Ling'er said.
"Then...shall we go?" Qi Yang asked.
"Okay. But please wait for me for a while. I'll find a branch." After saying that, Ling'er reluctantly let go of Brother Yang's hand and ran back. This time she learned her lesson and went back to the bush to find a suitable branch.
