In the past, Luo Gaoxuan's family also visited the source of Liquan. Except for the strange plants found in the lake, they knew nothing about the rest.
Over time, they also believed in the Nuo religion's theory that it was the recovery of the earth's energy that caused the Yin Spring to sweeten and turn into Liquan. In fact, using Liquan water to make wine became a gimmick and feature of the villa. When it was most prosperous, the provincial governor gave it to the capital. Every imperial tribute has drinks from Liquan Villa.
If Luo Gaoxuan had never studied abroad, she would have truly believed this. After understanding scientific thought, it would have been difficult for her to superstitiously attribute the sweetness of the spring water to the elements of ghosts and gods. In her opinion, something must have changed at the source of Liquan. , this is what makes Liquan what it is now.
Over the years, whether she was checking the wine or doing experiments, she could not find anything in the spring water. She only knew that these flowers preyed on living creatures, but other than that, she found nothing.
As for these living corpses, this is a task given to Liquan Villa by Fujiang County. Once it is discovered that the living corpses intend to cross Jiangyou Pass, they must be eliminated immediately to prevent them from appearing in the pass and frightening the people.
In the past twenty years, Liquan Villa has formed many patrol teams. They will search the mountain and patrol during the day. When they see any living people entering the pass, they will persuade them to return. If they encounter a large area of living corpses, they will also be killed. Dealt with it.
When she came back from outside today, they already felt something bad when they saw Yue Guanchao. He didn't look like a customer ordering drinks. Even when the shopkeeper handed the wine to Yue Guanchao, he didn't even see him getting the slightest hint of it. If he really came because of his reputation, how could he treat her so badly? Drinks so defensive.
She was wary of the drinks, but in the end she pretended to sign a contract. At that time, she had already realized that these people were probably suspicious of the drinks and came to investigate the ingredients of Liquan wine. She expected that once the ingredients of Liquan wine were figured out, It’s time to visit the source of brewing water.
Not long after Yue Guanchao and the others left, Luo Gaoxuan had already set off with the nurse, and only then met them in Yinguan Lake in time.
"Isn't Liquan Winery your family's business? If anything unfavorable to Liquan Villa is found, it will only cause losses to your family's wine industry!"
Song Siyuan asked this deliberately, wanting to see if Luo Gaoxuan was trying to trick them.
"Yes, Liquan wine is indeed the business of our Liquan Villa, but this Liquan is too strange. How long can our family's business rely on this strange change? If Liquan returns to its original state one day, that will be the end of Liquan Villa. .”
Luo Gaoxuan paused, and her tone became mysterious: "Let's not mention the issue of spring water for now. Just the fact that Liquan wine can be addictive is terrifying enough. If someone discovers this in the future, Liquan Villa's reputation will be ruined. What I am doing now seems to be detrimental to Liquan Villa, but it is actually making plans for the future. If an accident happens one day, it is better to take precautions in advance."
After hearing the end, Song Siyuan gradually believed Luo Gaoxuan's words: "In fact, we did find something in Liquan."
"What?"
Luo Gaoxuan looked at the three people with burning eyes.
Song Siyuan looked at Lan Ruling: "Take out a glass of wine brewed from Liquan."
Luo Gaoxuan didn't know what he meant, but he still took out an unopened bottle of wine from his residence, poured it into a bowl and handed it to Lan Ruling.
Then, he handed over the poisonous powder he had prepared and sprinkled it into the wine bowl, then casually placed the wine bowl on the table. These poisonous powders were prepared using the records in Nuo Gushu. They were even more powerful than Ren Peacock’s powder. In just a breath, the wine bowl was already filled with black poisonous insects.
A bowl of clear wine, without being replaced by anyone, was suddenly filled with dead round insects. This scene was so horrifying that Luo Gaoxuan fell back.
"What is this? Are there such insects in the Liquan water?"
Luo Gaoxuan's face was surprised and suspicious, not wanting to believe that Liquan wine really contained these dirty things. He found the Liquan water that he had just brought in, and sprinkled it with poison powder in the same way, and waited for the round bugs to appear in Liquan again. Only then did she become convinced.
Lan Ruling said: "This kind of bug is called the nightmare bug, which is half insect and half plant. The red flowers in the water you see in the lake are the home of the bug. These underwater plants prey on living creatures and remove the flower seeds. The liquid continuously turns into worms, and along the river it becomes Liquan waterfall, and then it is brewed into wine by you." m.
Luo Gaoxuan looked at the wine, and her hands trembled with excitement. If the mountain spring where Liquan wine is brewed contains poisonous insects, it also means that the wine produced by Liquan Villa is actually poisonous poisonous wine. What he does is to send out a steady stream of Gu insects.
If you think about it carefully, from the nobles in the palace to the ordinary people, as long as they drink Liquan wine in admiration, most people have probably been poisoned. There are tens of millions of people in Sichuan and Sichuan, and they have this kind of nightmare poison in their bodies!
"Then, how does this Gu insect harm people?"
Luo Gaoxuan's face became extremely serious and she asked anxiously.
Lan Ruling explained: "These Gu insects can cause hallucinations. They are probably hallucinations in dreams, which coincides with the rumors of the revival of the Shu witch kingdom of Nuo God Cult."
"Is that all?"
Luo Gaoxuan finally felt relieved when she heard that the poisonous insects were not fatal.
Lan Ruling continued to explain: "It's just not harmful for the time being, but have you ever thought about it. With the help of Liquan and Liquan wine, the Nuo God Cult can release more vicious poisons at any time."
"The living corpses we see are not caused by ghosts. What is in their bodies is the corpse poison. The purpose is to control everyone. When the Nuo God Religion really needs it, they will also use the poisonous seedlings of the corpse poison. If you put them in Liquan, then the Nuo God Cult will turn all the living people in Shu into monsters like living corpses, and this will be the end of Shu."
These words were extremely serious. Luo Gaoxuan did not expect that her winery had caused such a big evil. The more famous Liquan was, the more people Liquan had harmed. For a moment, she felt dazed and confused, and almost fell down. He fell to the ground. If he hadn't been supported by Song Siyuan, he would have fallen straight down.
"Is there any way to cure the poison?"
Lan Ruling nodded: "Indeed, there is, but if the Nuo God Cult is not eliminated, this kind of poison will only become more numerous. Only when the root cause of the problem is solved can it be easier to remove the poison for the people."
Luo Gaoxuan was too aware of the reputation of the Nuo God Cult. It was because of the legend of the Nuo God Cult that he wanted to use Liquan to make wine.
"Then, how do you plan to deal with the Nuo God Cult?"
Luo Gaoxuan knew that Yue Guanchao and the others had found the source of Liquan, and probably knew that there was something fishy behind the Nuo God Cult, so he became curious about their plan.
Song Siyuan sighed and said: "We can only tell you now that there is another black hand behind the Nuo Shen Cult. We are also considering how to deal with the black hand behind the scenes and at the same time detoxify the people. We don't have any ideas yet!"
Some people died, but not completely...
