"Twin poisons?" Jiudao was a little confused, but he subconsciously felt that this matter was definitely not that simple.
Haitang looked solemn and said: "The so-called twin poisons refer to two non-toxic drugs that have mutually incompatible properties and become a huge poison when mixed together. According to my investigation results, the purple mist you mentioned is called Lingluo Piaoxiang is a common medicine used by barbarians in foreign lands. It is often used to repel mosquitoes and repel insects. It is non-toxic to the human body."
At this point in Haitang's words, Jiudao has basically understood the meaning. If Lingluo Piaoxiang itself is not poisonous, and the Tao'an villagers are indeed poisoned by it, then there is only one possible situation, Jiudao Staring at Haitang, his expression became more serious and he said:
"Is there something that conflicts with the properties of this silk fragrance and produces toxicity?"
Haitang did not answer his question immediately, but took out something and put it on the table. Jiudao took a look. It was a peach blossom. It was still very fresh. It looked like it had just been picked. Jiudao noticed the flower. The color is strange. Normal peach blossoms are all pink, but the one in front of me has a pink face, but the petal surface seems to be covered with a layer of light smoke, which is lavender, hazy and not very obvious. If you don't look carefully, it is easy to overlook.
"You mean that the fragrance of silk and peach blossoms are poisonous?"
Haitang nodded and said:
"It's not all peach blossoms, but the late season peach blossoms unique to Taoyuan. This method of using poison is extremely rare and biased. I dare say that in this world, there are no more than ten people who know how to use twin poisons, and this method of using twin poisons will make Ling Luo Piao Piao The poison created by the combination of incense and late-season peach blossoms is an extremely innovative twin poison. I heard from my eldest sister that it was invented by an old friend of hers, and it is called Ling Luo Sheng Purple Smoke."
"Lingluo... produces purple smoke."
Jiudao's face remained calm, but his voice was trembling.
"At this time of year, peach blossom soup is in fashion at Tao'an. This is a good time."
Haitang looked at the cold man in front of her. Even so, he remained motionless and calmly analyzed the situation. What kind of thing and what kind of person can really shake him? Haitang once thought that she was everything in Jiudao, but she was wrong, and she was very wrong, but even after being injured completely, for twelve years, , she still wanted to see his weaknesses, at least see him moved by certain things, but she failed. Maybe some people are born with a lack of emotion. The cold and carved face in front of her, this face With a face that looks like an arbiter of justice, will he reveal the regret hidden deep in his heart on some night that he doesn't know about?
"But there are two problems."
Haitang knew that she could never allow herself to continue with her wild thoughts, so she immediately picked up the conversation and calmly moved her eyes away from Jiudao.
Jiudao said nothing and listened patiently.
Haitang breathed a sigh of relief and continued:
"Lingluo produces purple smoke, which is yin and cold in nature, and is extremely toxic but not violent. When it enters the body, it can block the human body's magical channels, causing people to suffer from general discomfort due to disordered qi and blood circulation. Ingesting a large amount can cut off the magical channels. In the mild case, the person will be unable to practice for the rest of his life, and in the serious case, the body will die and the spirit will be destroyed. In addition, because this poison spreads along the Dharma lineage, the higher the Dharma cultivation level, the greater the harm."
Jiudao nodded, shook his head and said:
"If this is the case, then most of the villagers in Tao'an are not practitioners, so what is the purpose of going through all the trouble to use Lingluo to produce purple smoke?"
Haitang said:
"This is exactly one of the problems. Another problem is that the blending process of the silk fragrance and the late-season peach blossoms is very complicated. It requires the use of special chemicals as a medium, and it takes at least three complete days and nights to complete the fusion. In During this period, the fragrance of Lingluo will produce lavender mist..."
Having said this, Haitang paused just right. Jiudao seemed to have thought of something and said:
"I remember that Tao'an would send people to check the peach forest regularly."
Haitang seemed to be waiting for Jiudao's words. She continued:
"I just got news from Mr. Chang. The three members of Old Man Liu's family who were in charge of the peach grove disappeared a few days ago. In fact, they were also responsible for transporting peach blossoms to the Tao'an villagers for making peach blossom soup, but they disappeared. After several days, the supply of peach blossoms has not been cut off, and Tao'an did not find out until all the villagers were poisoned."
There are three members of the family, two elders and one youngster. The younger one is a granddaughter. Old Man Liu’s son and daughter-in-law all died in the war. Now, the two remaining elders and granddaughter have also been brutally murdered, which is so sad. In these troubled times, many families have completely disappeared like this, and no one will even remember them.
Hearing this, Jiudao tightened his grip on the tea cup in his hand. No one knew what he was thinking at that time, but everyone can see now that the Peach Blossom Spring is not as unbreakable as imagined.
Haitang sneered and said:
"It seems that you are really used to living a comfortable life. It seems that you have almost forgotten the disaster twelve years ago."
After saying that, Haitang stood up, threw away her hands and went out. She had said everything that needed to be said. If she stayed any longer, she might not be able to control herself.
Jiudao looked at Haitang's retreating back without any words of reluctance. His eyes were full of sadness.
Let's go while I can still control it.
Outside the door, Hua Mingyue saw Haitang coming out and immediately went to greet her. Seeing Haitang's devastated expression, she understood something in her heart.
"Sister-in-law."
"How many times have I told you to call me Senior Sister? I'm not much older than you."
Haitang was speechless. Why was this child so uneasy?
"But you are the master's sister, and I am the master's apprentice. According to seniority, you are my senior aunt. Master has always valued etiquette the most. We can't take the lead and mess up the seniority, can we?"
Begonia is dizzy.
"Then why did you call that person senior brother?"
Hua Mingyue understood that the person Haitang was talking about was Jiudao. She said righteously and sternly:
"Senior Brother Murong belongs to the Sword Sect, and I belong to the Medical Sect. We have no direct relationship, and he is slightly older than me. Of course I will call him Senior Brother."
When she said this, Hua Mingyue was blushing and her posture was awkward, unable to hide her admiration, and Haitang was dizzy.
Hua Mingyue looked at Haitang and said with concern:
"Senior Sister, I don't know what happened between you and Senior Brother Murong, but it's not a solution for you to keep hanging on like this. What kind of knots between people can't be solved? Besides, you guys It wasn't once."
Before Hua Mingyue finished speaking, Haitang had already moved away.
Hua Mingyue chased after her, shouting as she ran:
"Senior Aunt, Senior Aunt, wait for me! I haven't finished speaking yet!"
"Call Senior Sister!"
Haitang smiled bitterly. This smile was really bitter. Hua Mingyue didn't understand that some knots and hatreds could never be solved, such as the revenge for killing her father.
The wind was blowing extremely loudly, which confused Jiudao's eyes. He stood at the door and watched Haitang drift away. Finally, he walked through the front square, walked out of Jianzong, and disappeared from sight.
