After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 119 Yin Yang Gu

Yuan Qing looked up and met the old man's gaze.

She understood his intention without any explanation.

The Lou family was surrounded by flames, and clinging to the charcoal fire would only accelerate their own demise.

Instead of letting those people get a bargain, it is better to throw it out and distribute it to those who are still struggling to survive in the cold winter.

In the future, these favors will become the most difficult to destroy barrier standing in front of the Lou family.

Jiangzhou alone is not enough, they have to fight for more.

He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and the same is true here.

"How many years?" asked the old man.

"Five years," Yuan Qing answered firmly, "If nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to settle down within five years."

……

After a careful search, Fang Yue'e's whereabouts were finally found the next night.

However, what Ling Yuanqing did not expect was that Fang Yue'e did not leave Jiangzhou, but died in a cave not far from the city, leaving only a broken body.

She sat on her back against a rock, her expression filled with pain and despair, her lips bitten until they bled.

He was holding a pitch-black jar tightly in his arms, with one of his hands resting on the mouth of the jar. There were thin and deep wounds on his arm, and the blood that seeped out formed beads and fell into the jar.

"Tick!"

Everyone held their breath. The slightly dull sound of water echoed in the cave, becoming clearer and clearer.

Could it be that everything in the jar... is hers...

Even though Yuan Qing had prepared himself mentally, he was still shocked by this scene and was speechless.

Fang Yue'e must have suffered great pain before her death.

This cave is hidden in the woods and is not difficult to find.

But it didn't look like anyone had been in the cave, so these injuries were caused by herself.

But why did she do this?

Mu Xiaoxiao handed over a letter, "Master, this was found in Miss Fang's hands."

There was no fire in the cave. The secret guard walked to the entrance and pushed aside the weeds to let the moonlight in.

Yuan Qing read the letter in the moonlight, and then ordered: "Restore this place to its original state, and we will evacuate as soon as possible."

Several secret guards were left behind to rebury the cave.

After returning to the Lou Mansion, Yuan Qing took out the letter and read it carefully several times.

There was only one bloody word on it, the word "go", written so illegibly that it was hard to read.

"Have you taken anything from the jar?"

Mu Xiaoxiao turned around and just closed the door. Hearing this, he took out a small bottle from his sleeve and replied, "I was afraid of disturbing the things inside, so I only took this much."

This bottle is a glass bottle that Yuan Qing exchanged in the mall.

The transparent bottle makes the scarlet liquid inside look even more eerie, and a closer look at its color and concentration reveals that it does not look like normal blood at all.

Is it really poisonous?

She handed the bottle back to Mu Xiaoxiao and said, "Ignore the rest for now. The main thing is to check whether this blood contains the same poison as the tea leaves."

She just wanted to know what the connection was between the Yuzhou epidemic and "Dark Village".

Xiaoxiao had come into contact with this kind of poisonous wood quite a lot recently, so he was quite familiar with it. In less than two hours, he had already obtained results.

She stayed awake all night and knocked on Yuan Qing's door early the next morning.

Yuan Qing had just finished washing up and sat at the table and asked, "Any new discoveries?"

"Master, how did you know?" Mu Xiaoxiao held the bottle tightly and sat down, "I have done experiments before, and the toxicity in this bottle is almost three times as much as the one I tested.

In addition, another poison was found, which is the Yin-Yang Gu poison that is extremely difficult to cultivate."

Yuan Qing was stunned.

Yin Yang Gu?

This is the first time I've heard of this name.

"The Yin-Yang Gu originated from the Southern Barbarians, and is a treasure passed down from generation to generation." Mu Xiaoxiao sneered, "It's called a treasure, but in fact it's just a disgusting thing that controls people.

There is a Saint Clan in the Southern Barbarians, who are born with extraordinary powers and are said to be able to communicate with the gods of heaven and earth. In order to control them, the Southern Barbarians found a way to cultivate the Yin-Yang Gu and planted it on the heir to the throne and the Saint Clan's saints of each generation.

Master once recorded in the "Medical Classics of Poison": "The mother Gu feeds on humans and gives birth to two sons, which are called Yin and Yang, and they live and die together."

The two people who have been infected with the Gu can live together and there will be nothing wrong as long as they are both alive. However, if the one with the Yin Gu dies, the other one with the Yang Gu will have his flesh eaten by the Gu worms until he bleeds out and dies. Therefore, it has also been jokingly called the love Gu.

The poison of Yin Gu is weak, and once the infected person dies, it will dissipate, so I did not find out the poison in the black-clothed man who assassinated Lu Jiankang. "

"So, Fang Yue'e is the other party parasitized by the Yang Gu?"

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, "The Yin Gu is attached to the Yang Gu, but it also restricts the Yang Gu, making it unable to survive on its own.

I guess that Miss Fang only knows that she has been poisoned, but she doesn't know what kind of poison it is.

If it is an ordinary poisonous insect, it is possible to expel it by sealing the acupoints with silver needles and then bleeding or luring it.

But the Yin Yang Gu is different. It is born to feed on human flesh and blood. Unless the host dies, it will continue to eat. "

After the death of the man in black, Fang Yue'e's life came to an end.

"There is one more thing. If the mother Gu is still alive, we can use it to find the location of the child Gu..." At this point, Mu Xiaoxiao was suddenly shocked, "Could it be that she meant..."

Yuan Qing got up and went into the bedroom. A faint voice came from inside: "Go pack up, dress plainly, and follow me to Fang's house."

After being reminded by Mu Xiaoxiao just now, she suddenly had an idea.

If there really was a "Mother Gu" controlling Fang Yue'e in the "Dark Manor", then it would only be a matter of time before she realized that the two were dead.

No matter how you look at it, it is impossible that she wrote that word for her master to see.

The remaining two possibilities are probably only her and Fang Shuo.

The news of Miss Fang's death has spread throughout Jiangzhou.

When they went there, the door of Fang's house was closed.

As soon as Mu Xiaoxiao got off the car, a few people passing by looked at them and asked, "Miss, are you here to see the prefect?"

Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao nod, they sighed and said, "Young lady, you should go back first. The servants of the Fang family said that the prefect is very sad and will not see any guests. It is useless for anyone to come."

Yuan Qing lifted the curtain and took a look. "Forget it, I'll come back another day."

At this time, Fang Shuo was standing inside the door, and next to him stood a woman in black robe.

The sound of the carriage outside the door gradually faded away. Fang Shuo frowned, "Do you think she will come again?"

The woman in black robe followed his gaze and smiled silently.

She would come because this was a rare opportunity and she would not let it go.
