From Luo Qiu's memory, Chen Mo learned that not far from here, there was a herb garden guarded by a monk named Zhang. In recent years, the two of them had had many secret incidents in order to compete for the alchemist on Miaodan Peak. Friction can be said to have reached an extreme point in the relationship.
Elder Liang is the leading alchemy expert on Miaodan Peak, and he has quite a say in the sect. All the medicine garden deacons hope to have a good relationship with him, so that they don't have to worry about the sales of their own spiritual herbs.
The batch of spiritual herbs he urgently needed recently, only Luo Qiu's herb garden had mature supplies for use. Now all the spiritual herbs were burned accidentally, which delayed his time. Even if the sect did not deal with him, Luo Qiu and Elder Liang Enmity is also a certainty.
So no matter from which angle you look at it, if something happens to Luo Qiu's Baicao Garden, it will be the place managed by the monk surnamed Zhang that benefits. Therefore, Chen Mo's first thought was to suspect that the other party was up to something.
Anyone who knows a little bit about medicinal herbs knows that unless the monk fails to take care of it in time, the sunflower cannot spontaneously combust for no reason. As long as something goes wrong, the first monk to catch and take care of it is absolutely right.
Therefore, following this thinking, Zhao Hu could easily become the scapegoat for this incident. Even if the law enforcement agency finally investigates, it has nothing to do with the other party.
Chen Mo paced back and forth in the room, frowning and said, "Have you been guarding the Sun Flower all this time?"
"Yes. Senior Brother Luo, how dare I joke about this kind of thing?" Zhao Hu said with a wry smile.
"No, I'm talking about never leaving." Chen Mo said seriously: "As far as I know, there is a spiritual liquid that can ripen herbs in advance. If a monk drops a few drops on it without you noticing, then Coupled with the fact that you are not diligent in discerning, it is not surprising that something like this happened!”
When Chen Mo was refining low-grade elixirs at the Tianding Chamber of Commerce, he overheard a conversation between Sun Xing and Zhuo Qingyang. They talked about something called green liquid, which could be dropped on herbs to shorten the time. From hours to days, or even years of waiting.
However, the disadvantages of this medicine are also obvious. Each herb can only be used once. In addition, the medicinal properties of specially ripened herbs are lower than those grown normally.
Even so, there is an endless stream of monks who use it, "Just lower it, it's not for yourself anyway!" These monks thought in their hearts that when they take it themselves, they can plant it seriously.
When everyone held this idea, it brought a disaster to the world of cultivation at that time. Most of what was sold and exchanged in the large and small trading houses were elixirs that had been specially catalyzed by green liquid. .
A monk who could break through by taking one pure pill now needs to take three or even five pills. But the price paid was several times higher than before.
The ripening green liquid caused the world of cultivation to become turbulent and affected the history of the world of cultivation for more than ten years. Later, the Yuanying old monsters from various sects united and completely destroyed the towering fruit, the main spiritual material of the green liquid. , the green liquid was like rootless water, and then slowly disappeared into the long river of the world of cultivation.
This was more than six hundred years ago. Things have changed over time. Even as an alchemist, few people remember the green liquid. Chen Mo only thought of it by chance.
After all, the illusion he was in now was the Fuyun Sect hundreds of years ago.
"It seems that the green liquid has not flooded yet, and only a few people know about it..."
Chen Mo thought about it carefully and quickly deduced this result. If the green liquid was in the prosperous period or on the verge of extinction, it would definitely attract people's attention. Only in the early days, no one would think of it in this regard.
When asked by Chen Mo, Zhao Hu was really stunned. Is there any spiritual liquid that can ripen herbs in advance? Why hasn't he heard of it? But according to what Senior Brother Luo said, he really didn't guard the Fierce Sun Flower every step of the way, he was just watching nearby.
"Senior Brother Luo!! I seem to remember that Guanshi He once walked around in front of the Sunflower and asked me if I watered it on time!" Zhao Hu suddenly slapped his forehead and gestured excitedly.
Chen Mo's eyes flickered and he said, "Are you sure it's He Lin?! You must be responsible for what you say!"
Zhao Hu was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed: "Brother Luo, how dare I deceive you! He must be in charge! There were several other disciples who came with me at that time. I can get them to testify!!"
"Okay!" Chen Mo nodded and immediately ordered Fu Quan to enter the room. After whispering a few words in his ear, he ordered him to investigate the purchaser of the towering fruit in Rifang City. If it is true that his subordinate He Lin was stealing, Trading disciples will have some impression.
As for Chen Mo, he originally wanted to settle Zhao Hu and go out to investigate in person, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't leave the herb garden. There seemed to be an invisible shield wall blocking his way. .
This should be a restriction of the illusion. After all, this magic weapon has limited capabilities and cannot completely simulate the Fuyun Sect hundreds of years ago. It is already good to be able to restore a small part of it today.
In the next few hours, Chen Mo stayed quietly in this room until the disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall appeared and captured the unconscious Zhao Hu. They looked at him coldly, led by a black-clothed disciple. The disciple said:
"Luo Qiu, Zhao Hu neglected his duties and was immediately taken to the Stone Prison to be tortured. However, you failed in your supervision and almost destroyed the herb garden. Come with us immediately!"
...
The strange stones in the assessment hall have been completely transformed into gray-black, which means that Chen Mo has explored 70% of the fantasy realm in the third stage. If he can work harder, it is not impossible to keep pace with Senior Brother Ye!
The red-haired old man breathed rapidly and stared at the bronze mirror intently. As the caretaker of this place, over the years, he had only known the truth about the illusion that Ye Lantian entered. Unexpectedly, just today, he would be lucky enough to see the second illusion. The real situation!
...
"Hall Master, Luo Qiu has arrived!" Soon, the black-clothed disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall led Chen Mo into the main hall of the Law Enforcement Hall.
It sounds far away, but in fact, Chen Mo came to this place as soon as he left the thatched hut.
"Disciple has met Hall Master Gai, Elder Liang, and all Zhangfeng Pavilion Masters." Chen Mo took a deep breath and bowed to each of them one by one according to the appearance in his memory.
It is impossible to cover the fire with paper. With the spread of the news, those who should know came to the Law Enforcement Hall to investigate.
Not only the senior officials of Fuyun Sect, but also many of his subordinates in the medicine garden, including the monk surnamed Zhang who was hostile to him, were laughing at him and looking at him with gloating.
"Luo Qiu, the medicine garden you managed today destroyed nearly 10,000 spiritual stones worth of medicinal herbs. Is this possible?" Hall Master Gai of the Law Enforcement Hall spoke coldly and asked Chen Mo first.
"That's right." Chen Mo replied simply.
"Why didn't you report it to the sect immediately?" Hall Master Gai continued to ask.
Before Chen Mo could reply, Elder Liang walked over angrily. He looked like he wanted to choose someone to devour. He grabbed Chen Mo's clothes and said angrily: "Don't tell me that the medicinal herbs were destroyed." it is true!"
Elder Liang himself has a bad temper, and this furnace of elixir is very important to him, so it is not difficult to understand his behavior.
"Old Liang, what are you doing? Let him go!" An elder of Ji Zhu tried to persuade Chen Mo, but at the same time he shouted at Chen Mo: "How long do you want to hide the truth of the matter if you don't tell me the truth!"
At this moment, a black shadow on the horizon hurriedly crossed here. Chen Mo was overjoyed when he saw Fu Quan rushing over. After the latter bowed to the senior management in the room, he said a few words in Chen Mo's ear, stuffed him with a small package, and then stood aside.
Chen Mo felt reassured, glanced at He Lin in the crowd with a smile, and said calmly: "Elder Gong is right, how long do Junior Brother He want to keep it secret? Please explain it quickly!"
In an instant, the eyes of more than a dozen people in the room were focused on He Lin, making him a little at a loss. "Senior Brother Luo, what are you talking about? What does this have to do with me?" He Lin still had a confused look on his face. .
Chen Mo chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, just let me briefly describe it."
"Today, at the end of the day, you brought a bottle of special spiritual liquid and went to the Sun Flower under Zhao Hu's care in the name of inspection. You poured it on, causing the Sun Flower to mature in advance, but it did not receive the care it deserved. Therefore, the fire spirit power rioted and burned the nearby medicinal herbs. This led to this loss. I wonder if I am right?"
This was different from the original plan. They had already planned to put all the blame on Zhao Hu, but Chen Mo changed his mind. What was going on?
For a moment, Yao Li and Jin Xun were puzzled, and the senior officials of Fuyun Sect turned their doubtful eyes to He Lin again. The latter smiled awkwardly and said: "Brother Luo, don't be ridiculous, how can you have a ripening spirit?" What about this liquid thing? Besides, burning senior brother’s medicine garden, what good will it do to me?”
Chen Mo had expected it, and he opened the package sent by Fu Quan with a chuckle. There was a testimony with several fingerprints inside: "This is the proof that you purchased the towering fruit in Fang City. There are witnesses from the sect." , can’t be wrong? As for the towering fruit and what materials can make up the spiritual liquid, I guess you should know better than me!”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of monks surnamed Zhang and He Lin suddenly became ugly!
"There are several kinds of spiritual herbs among them. Baicao Garden does not sell them to the outside world, but you can get them without knowing it. I wonder if it was the instruction of Brother Zhang next to you? Burning my spiritual herbs garden will do you no good. , but it’s different for Brother Zhang, I wonder if that’s the case?”
Hall Master Gai also didn't expect that a formal matter would have so many ways. If it was true as Luo Qiu said, then the nature of the matter would have changed. What was originally an accident turned into a frame-up. He Lin and Zhang Baikang's punishment was much more serious.
He immediately shouted and asked: "He Lin! Call me quickly, did you deliberately frame Luo Qiu!"
"Disciple... No disciple!" He Lin quickly explained: "All these are just one-sided words of Senior Brother Luo. Can conjecture also be used as evidence? Disciple did not frame Senior Brother Luo!"
"Yes, it's okay for Junior Brother Luo to be careless, but he still wrongfully accuses me. It's really too much!"
On the other side, Zhang Baikang also quickly complained. Just as all this was Chen Mo's reasoning, all his conclusions were untenable until there was no evidence to prove that they did it.
He was afraid that if they didn't hold on, he would attack them all first, and he would really fall into the trap designed by Luo Qiu.
