Long Zun's words shocked everyone present.

If it is true, then the Fox Clan of the Barbarian Kingdom and the Holy Spirit Fox Clan must have some very similar or even identical characteristics.

And this feature is not difficult to guess.

Since Lang Yue was mistaken for the Queen of the Fox Clan because she was seen with the Nine-Tails Strange Appearance, it is enough to show that this similar feature is the Nine-Tailed Different Appearance.

"Could it be..."

An extremely bold guess emerged in Chen Yutian's mind.

Long Zun seemed to have seen through his thoughts and deliberately reminded: "In addition, I can also tell you that in this world, except for the Linghu Saint Clan who will have strange appearances when they use their martial arts, there are no other Saint Clan. Or the sect's martial arts may have such a situation. However, the martial arts of the Barbarian Kingdom is different from that of the Central Plains, and such a situation may also occur."

Chen Yutian nodded slightly.

At this time, Long Zun said again: "Also, I would like to remind you, master, if you want to rescue that little girl, you must find out what the power behind that national master is as soon as possible. In my opinion, this power The power is definitely not simple, and the death of those two barbarian boys must be related to it."

Hearing this, Chen Yutian pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Disciple, I understand. I will follow Master's teachings."

Long Zun smiled slightly and said: "Just understand. We old guys won't get involved too much in the affairs of your juniors."

After saying this, Dragon Lord and Sword Master stood up and left.

After everyone watched the two saints leave, Chen Yutian glanced at everyone slightly and then spoke.

"Did everyone hear what my master said?"

Everyone nodded.

"Then let's talk about the case of the mysterious deaths of two princes." Chen Yutian sighed slightly, "I thought about this case all night yesterday and came up with some ideas."

"oh?"

After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

This is because they know that whenever Chen Yutian says that he has an idea, he must have already made a reasonable inference.

However, since he did not say it was an inference, it means that this inference is not complete and lacks supporting evidence.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yutian smiled slightly and spoke slowly.

"Let's start with the weird actions of the two princes while hunting."

Everyone nodded.

Chen Yutian said: "Everyone has read the file. It is clearly recorded in the file that the two princes suddenly rushed to two places where there were no hidden sentries as if they were possessed by an evil spirit in the middle of hunting, right?"

Xue Tianhan nodded and said: "That's right. Do you suspect that the murderer did something at this time?"

A flash of surprise flashed across Xuan Xi's face, "Isn't this impossible? In that case, what would the murderer do?"

Chen Yutian shook his head slightly.

"No, it's possible. And it's very possible. Do you still remember the strange fragrance that appeared in the two places?"

Gongsun nodded and said, "Of course I remember."

As soon as the last word was spoken, his expression suddenly moved, and the light in his eyes flashed away, and he asked: "What do you mean, sir... the problem may lie in the strange fragrance? This is unlikely. If there is a problem with the strange fragrance, then Taigong and others who arrived at the scene later and smelled the strange fragrance should also have problems, right?"

Chen Yutian nodded slightly, "It's true what Gongsun said. This is exactly what I didn't figure out last night."

Gongsun frowned slightly and said, "I wonder what your Lord's initial thoughts were?"

Chen Yutian stretched out two fingers.

"My initial thoughts were twofold. One, they might have been under the influence of martial arts such as charm and mind-seizing; second, they might have been under the influence of some kind of hallucinogenic drugs."

After listening, Gongsun frowned and pondered slightly.

"If the aroma contains hallucinogenic drugs, as the students said, Taigong and the others will also be affected, so this should be ruled out."

"However, martial arts such as Soul Seduction Charm can disrupt people's sanity, but depending on the strength of the skill, the impact time will be long or short. I asked the guards that the skills of the two princes are not weak. If you want It’s not easy to do this.”

"Wait...hallucinogenic drugs...aroma..."

As he said this, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Gongsun's mind, and he was suddenly shaken! !

The next moment, he stood up and left the room in a flash.

Everyone in the room looked at each other, and they all saw a hint of deep doubt in each other's eyes.

After a while, Gongsun returned, holding an ancient book in his hand.

He turned to one of the pages in the ancient book and read the contents carefully, with a knowing smile on his face.

"Yes, this is it!"

Everyone looked at him with some confusion.

Chen Yutian and Xue Tianhan walked directly to him, their eyes falling on the open ancient book.

There was a picture of a relatively common herb in the book, and next to the picture was the name and function of the herb.

"Tian Kucao..."

Chen Yutian murmured, his eyes scanning the handwriting on the book line by line, and finally stopped at the last line of small characters.

"Combined with the aroma of cherry blossoms, it has a hallucinogenic effect..."

Chen Yutian's eyes flashed and he looked back at the line of words in front of him.

The uses of Tiangucao are recorded there.

"Can it be mixed with tea and used as medicine..." Chen Yutian pondered slightly.

The so-called tea grass is a kind of herb that can be mixed with tea leaves. This herb often makes the tea taste more mellow and is deeply loved by some royal nobles in the Central Plains region.

But the effect of Tiangucao is somewhat strange.

When mixed with tea, it has only one function, which is to make the tea aroma stronger.

With the addition of Tiangucao tea, the taste will not change at all, but the tea aroma is indeed twice or even several times the usual.

This function is undoubtedly somewhat tasteless.

But therefore, even if this herb is added to tea, most people will not notice it.

If it is used as a hallucinogenic drug, it can definitely be administered silently.

It's just that the cherry blossom flower...

Chen Yutian's expression changed and he asked: "Gongsun, where do these magical cherry blossoms usually grow?"

Gongsun thought for a while and turned the book in his hand to another page.

I saw a flower painted on it.

A strange flower that resembles a cherry blossom, but has relatively complicated petals.

"This is Ying Huan Hua..." Gongsun said.

Chen Yutian nodded slightly.

"ah……"

At this time, a scream suddenly came from beside him.

But when they saw the three girls Xuan Xi, Ling Miaoyin, and Tang Fengling on the side, their expressions were suddenly shocked, and they actually showed a look of shock!

"This, is this Sakura Fantasy Flower?"

Xuan Xi pointed at the painting in the book and subconsciously covered her open mouth with her little hand.

Gongsun nodded slightly, showing doubts.

Chen Yutianze seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the three Xuanxi girls and asked, "Have you seen this flower?"

Gongsun and Xue Tianhan were surprised.

Ling Miaoyin nodded slightly and said, "We have indeed seen this flower. It is in a garden in the inner garden of the harem."

Chen Yutian looked shocked and looked at Gongsun.

Gongsun naturally understood what he meant, his expression became slightly solemn, and he said: "Tianku grass originally grew in the Western Regions and can be seen almost everywhere in the Western Regions. Now that cherry blossoms are found in the garden of the inner garden of the harem, then the murderer used this method The possibility is greatly improved.”

Xue Tianhan also nodded slightly and said: "Yes, it seems that the most urgent task is to prove whether the fragrance that appears at the scene is the fragrance of the cherry blossoms."

Chen Yutian nodded and said, "Yes, besides that, I think it's time for us to go to the crime scene and take a look."

Xuan Xi was slightly startled.

"The scene of the crime? It has happened for nearly half a year. If you go to the scene now, you shouldn't be able to find anything, right?"

Chen Yutian smiled meaningfully.

"Some things may no longer be there, but some things must still be there..."

Xuan Xi was immediately confused.





There is a ruined temple on the roadside.

It was almost dusk, and the sky was overcast with thick clouds. There was also faint thunder, which penetrated the thick clouds, accompanied by lightning, and resounded throughout the world.

A heavy rain is coming.

Boom!

There was a thunderbolt, and a carriage, accompanied by several figures on horseback, slowly stopped in front of the ruined temple.

"Grandpa, we're here. Let's spend the night here tonight." Huo Yuanji looked at the dull sky, glanced back at the carriage, and said.

Yan Zun and Bing Wang in the carriage opened the curtain and took a look at the ruined temple. Bing Wang immediately curled his lips.

"This place is really a bit...hard to describe!"

Yan Zun smiled and said: "It would be nice to have some accommodation. Looking at the weather, I am afraid it will rain tonight. At least I have a shelter from the rain."

Bing Wang nodded helplessly, "It seems that I can only feel aggrieved tonight."

Yan Zun smiled and said: "Old ghost, I think this place seems to be much better than the place where you live..."

The Ice King curled his lips and said, "Tsk...this shabby place is nothing compared to my Ice Palace."

With that said, the two of them got out of the carriage with Lin Feifei, Liu Huangcui, and Yu Xiaoxiao in the carriage. Lin Dao, Taiyi Tianfu and others took the horses to the side to settle down.

Huo Yuanji and Ling Xiaowu dismounted their horses and went straight to the door of the ruined temple. They stretched out their hands and pushed the door open.

"Creak..." There was a sound from the old wooden door, and the temple door opened in response. The moment the door opened, Huo Yuanji's pupils suddenly shrank.

Ling Xiaowu was also slightly stunned.

"What's wrong..." Yu Xiaoxiao came up curiously, and was slightly startled when she saw the scene in the ruined temple.

I saw that there was already someone in the ruined temple.

Moreover, she was a woman who looked quite haggard.
