"What is it?"

"I suspect it's poisoning!" Chu Yunyi looked at Qingyun worriedly, and saw that her face had turned to joy and looked as calm as water: "This midsummer, the Chu State's Yuan River was dammed, causing damage to a small village next to it. The plague was flooded, and the plague broke out. Fortunately, it was discovered early, and I personally led the imperial doctor to prevent and treat it, so it did not cause serious consequences and avoid causing panic among the people. I completely blocked the news, so not many people knew about it.

I have carefully checked the symptoms of everyone here, and they are almost the same as those of the plague, but everyone has a black spot the size of a rice grain behind their right ear, which is something that people infected with the epidemic in Yuanhe Village do not have."

"Chu Yunyi is right, they were all caused by poisoning." Mo Xuan looked solemn.

Qing Yun looked straight at the secret letter in her hand, her eyes as quiet as a pool of water, unable to see any emotional fluctuations, but Mo Xuan and Chu Yunyi were very worried: "Xi Yan (Xiao Yun)... "

"Do you know what kind of poison it is?" After a long time, Qingyun asked slowly. She understood that Yun Yi would not lie to her, and Chen Yu would not lie about anything that he was not sure of.

When the two of them heard this, their hanging hearts finally fell to the ground. As long as she spoke, they were afraid that she would hurt herself if she became depressed after being overjoyed and sad.

"A long-lost secret poison 'Ghost Sees Sorrow'!"

Mo Xuan eloquently said: "It is recorded in the medical classics left by our ancestors that when the founding emperor overthrew the previous dynasty, he encountered the brave general Ling Xiao in Shangping County, which is now Jiuyuan County. The two sides fought fiercely for a whole month. Tried it countless times and finally reached a stalemate.

Just when the founding emperor was worried about how to conquer Jiuyuan County, someone secretly offered the founding emperor a poison. The founding emperor ordered people to sneak into Lingxiao's army and put the poison into the drinking water of the army.

Soon an epidemic broke out in Ling Xiao's army. Even though Ling Xiao tried every means, it was still to no avail. In less than half a month, all the hundreds of thousands of troops died without fighting. Ling Xiao also died from the epidemic.

The Patriarch was originally an accompanying military doctor. Due to the fierce fighting in January, there was a severe shortage of medicinal materials. The day before the epidemic occurred, the Patriarch was ordered by Ling Xiao to go to several nearby counties to collect medicinal materials and thus escaped disaster.

When he heard the news and rushed back, the entire Jiuyuan County was littered with corpses. The scene was so tragic that it would have made him sad to see a ghost. The founder carefully examined some of the corpses and noticed slight differences in symptoms and pulses, thus concluding that they were died of poisoning, an unheard of poison;

In order to avoid being hunted, the founder went away from home incognito and painstakingly researched the antidote. However, he could not develop it until his death, so he recorded it in the medical classics and named the poison "Ghost's Sorrow", which is regrettable. What's more, all generations of descendants have gained nothing.

It is also recorded in the medical classics that in the name of Gu Quan's virtue, the founding emperor not only secretly executed the people who donated the medicine and the poisoned soldiers, but also destroyed the prescriptions and buried Ling Xiao and his army soldiers in a lavish burial. For hundreds of years, This symptom has never occurred again.

If this incident was really caused by Liang Sicong, where did he get this prescription?"

"How Liang Sicong obtained the prescription can be investigated slowly. The most important thing right now is" Qing Yun said with a heavy expression on his eyebrows: "We must find a way to remove the poison from the people as soon as possible!"

Looking at Qingyun with melancholy eyes, Mo Xuan felt heartbroken. He poured a cup of tea and handed it to her and said: "I found a few people with extremely serious symptoms but still alive, so I paid special attention to it and heard the same thing from them. The detail is that they all used a plant called 'Fengyincao' to boil water and take it, then smashed the leaves and applied it to the affected area. It is said to have the effect of dissipating heat and dispelling cold, and treating sores, boils, swelling and pain. Maybe... .”

"No matter whether 'Feng Yin Grass' is really effective in curbing toxic attacks, we have to give it a try. Tomorrow we will set out to pick 'Feng Yin Grass'." Qing Yun looked at Mo Xuan: "There is only 'Feng Yin Grass' 'You can't completely eradicate toxicity, can you?"

"Don't worry Xiyan, I will definitely develop a good antidote." In order to better protect Xiyan, he has studied various medical and poisonous techniques since he was a child, especially strange poisons and secret poisons.

"Thank you Chen Yu!"

"There is no need to say thank you between you and me!"

Staring at the two people who were looking at each other with a hint of affection, Chu Yunyi's deep eyes flashed with a trace of sadness and a cold dark light.

A night of silence.

The next day, after learning that Qingyun and others were going to pick 'Wind Yin Grass', Mr. Zhou tried his best to dissuade him even though he didn't know the reason. Xia Jie and everyone who had been waiting outside the house also tried to persuade them to pick 'Feng Yin Grass'. Growing up on Fengyin Mountain, the mountain roads are difficult and dangerous and often infested by wild animals. Except for some bold hunters, most people do not dare to go up the mountain easily.

After politely thanking everyone for their kindness, Qingyun ordered Xia Jie, Mr. Zhou and others to thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the village, and distributed the clothes sent by Chu Yunyi in her name to the patients to change into. All the items that were passed down were burned, and the food sent by Chu Yunyi was also distributed to each household, making sure that the patients had three meals a day.

Then Qingyun took Mo Xuan, Chu Yunyi, Long Ying, twenty secret guards, and several hunters who volunteered to lead the way and set off for Fengyin Mountain.

When Qingyun and others arrived at the foot of Fengyin Mountain, the night sky had already been dyed red by the morning glow. The sticky and cold mountain wind whistled, making the trees all over the mountain rustle, and the deep mist undulated like waves. It lingers around the entire Fengyin Mountain above the mountainside. Occasionally, a few melodious bird songs with crisp tail notes float from the fog, making people feel like they are in a misty fairyland.

Long Ying and several secret guards were guarding several hunters and leading the way. Mo Xuan and Chu Yunyi were guarding Qingyun on the left and right, and the remaining secret guards were on guard from behind.

The group avoided the traps set by the hunters and carefully traveled through the twists and turns of the mountain roads.

When we arrived at the place mentioned by the patients, we saw that everything was in a mess. All the windsong grass had been uprooted and completely destroyed, but the soil that was dug up was still a bit fresh in color, obviously it had just been destroyed not long ago.

One of the hunters said suspiciously: "It's strange. When Brother Lu and I came here to hunt ten days ago, the Wind Song Grass was still in good condition. How could it be gone?"

Qing Yun, Mo Xuan, and Chu Yunyi looked at each other after hearing this, and were even more sure that Feng Yin Grass played a vital role in the poison of ghosts and sorrows. The person who poisoned them must also know the symptoms of those people, so The purpose of destroying the Wind Song Grass is obvious.

Qingyun, who was looking around carefully, suddenly saw a flash of blue light in the weeds. He couldn't help but think, so he squatted down and pushed aside the weeds. He found a blue jade pendant lying quietly on the ground. He picked it up and looked at it carefully. The texture of the jade pendant is crystal clear, the lines are clearly visible, and the feel is round and delicate. At first glance, it looks like the finest and most precious jade. Most people cannot afford it. Could it be...

Putting the jade pendant into his pocket, Qingyun looked at the mess on the ground with a gloomy and solemn expression. Without the Feng Yin Grass, how could he relieve the poison of the people?

"I remembered." Another hunter suddenly said: "I heard Brother Lu said that he once saw a piece of wind chanting grass on the top of the mountain."

"Really?" Everyone stared at him.

The man couldn't help but tremble all over and nodded tremblingly, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

Qingyun looked at the leafy jungle in front of him, and the cold mountain wind blew in his face, making him feel eerie and terrifying. After frowning, he ordered two secret guards to escort Chu Yunyi and several hunters down the mountain.

Who knows how many people insisted on staying, Chu Yunyi was particularly determined: "Wherever Xiaoyun is, I will be there, and I will never leave Xiaoyun!"

"you......"

"Xiaoyun, just let me stay with you and don't drive me away, okay?" Knowing that the road ahead was dangerous, he couldn't stay by Xiaoyun's side to protect her, which would be even worse than killing him.

Looking at Chu Yunyi with a pleading look on his face and a glimmer of light in his deep eyes, Qingyun thought for a while and agreed to accompany him.

Originally, she was concerned about his identity. If something unexpected happened, she would be uneasy and it might even cause a dispute between the two countries. But she also knew his nature well. If she didn't let him go, he would definitely follow her secretly. I'm afraid it will be more troublesome, but several hunters must go down the mountain.

Qingyun's unquestioning attitude forced several hunters to go down the mountain and leave.

The road becomes more rugged and dangerous as you walk up the mountain. The leafy forest almost covers the sky above your head. Sparse sunlight shines in through the gaps. It is dark and eerie all around. There are occasional strange noises and gusty winds. , which gives people a creepy feeling.

Mo Xuan and others held torches to protect Qingyun, watching the surrounding movements with high vigilance.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound coming from the front, and the shadows of the trees seemed to be in chaos, and then several green lights flickered in the dense shadows of the jungle. Mo Xuan and others couldn't help but clenched their swords and stared at the front with eager eyes. Qingyun also quietly touched the jade bracelet on her wrist.

With a long howl of "Aww...", more than thirty wolves with black and gray fur suddenly jumped out from behind the jungle. The leader was a huge snow wolf that was completely white with no impurities, and shone strangely. Green eyes stared at everyone coldly.

I don't know when a pack of wolves surrounded everyone, but they were afraid of the fire and did not dare to step forward rashly. Until they heard the howl of the snow wolf, they rushed towards the crowd in a surging force, attacking everyone mercilessly with their sharp claws.

For a moment, swords and swords flickered, flying sand and rocks flew by, and soon the air was filled with a rich smell of blood.

Mo Xuan, Chu Yunyi, and Long Ying protected Qingyun in the center, mercilessly killing the wolves that kept rushing towards them.

Qingyun, on the other hand, pressed the bracelet mechanism to help deal with the sneak attack wolf from time to time.

"Chen Yu, be careful!" Seeing Snow Wolf suddenly pounce on Mo Xuan in front of him at a speed as fast as lightning, Qingyun rushed forward to block his side without thinking, and pressed the bracelet mechanism at the same time.

Unexpectedly, Snow Wolf actually avoided the hidden weapon, and his sharp front claws deeply scratched Qingyun's left arm. Blood flowed out, and he headed towards her with his sharp fangs open...
