After coming down the mountain, I was pampered by two emperors!

The plant studied by Taoist Zuntian is called Manyoulan. This flower is very easy to survive, and the flower color is bright. The large dark blue petals are like the charming waist of a girl. It is soft when touched by hand, and has a refreshing fragrance. But the more delicate the flower, the more poisonous it is. Long-term inhalation of aroma will cause people to lose their sense of autonomy and obey the orders of others.

Xu Mo has been stationed for more than four months. He had nothing to do this day. He and Ling Que came to the border port where goods were transported. At first, he did not notice the flower because the goods transported here on the border were of all sizes. There are so many things worth paying attention to. Who cares about carts of flowers and plants?

But this strange flower was noticed by Ling Que. She had been born here since she was a child. She knew all the plants and flowers, but she had never seen this flower before, so she started to pay attention.

She tugged on Xu Mo's sleeves and motioned for him to go forward and ask about the situation. Xu Mo understood Ling Que's meaning at that time.

"Wait, what kind of flowers are you transporting?" Xu Mo asked seriously.

"Master Xu, this is the Manyoulan from Yagong. Many dignitaries now place this kind of plant in their courtyards. It is said that it blooms very beautifully and has a fragrant fragrance, which is of great ornamental value." An examiner The guard said.

Xu Mo looked at Ling Que, who shook his head and said he had never heard of this flower.

"When did these Manyoulan come in?" Xu Mo asked again.

"About a month ago, the previous ones were about to bloom. You didn't notice that the peanuts were very beautiful. I was also lucky enough to see them from a distance. But now, for some reason, there are no flower buds in the new ones." The guard He said with a smile.

"Do you know who bought those before?" Xu Mo asked again.

"I don't know this, but when these flowers arrive in Kyoto, they are sold through Hexiangyuan. If you want, you can buy them there," the guard continued.

It has been more than four months since Xu Mo came here. As the largest brothel in the border area, Hexiangyuan has never been heard of by Xu Mo. He and Ling Que returned to the station and quickly asked their subordinates to find out that it was a brothel.

But since we were selling flowers, let's just sell them, so it didn't attract his attention.

On this day, Xu Mo returned to his room after finishing his official duties and was about to rest. Suddenly he heard a noise outside. He opened the window and took a quick look. The street was crowded with men, women and children. They were walking in unison and talking plausibly. What are you mumbling?

Seeing that something was a little strange, Xu Mo quickly went down to find the guards and asked what was going on.

Seeing that Xu Mo didn't know anything about it, the soldier told him about the strange things that happened recently.

"Master Xu, you don't know something. Recently, a Red Eagle cult came to our place. He will perform a ritual on the hillside behind every three days. His followers don't know what kind of ecstasy soup they have been fed. , believe in everything he says and do, no matter what he says, they will obey the leader without any complaints. The most puzzling thing is..." The guard paused and took a breath.

"Go on." Xu Mo quickly continued to ask.

"When they were performing rituals, these people were like unconscious walking zombies. In that scene, if the leader asked them to jump off the cliff, they would jump off the cliff without hesitation. I also accidentally saw it out of curiosity while on duty. "Yes." The guard recalled the scene in horror.

"Is there such a thing?" Xu Mo looked at the guard in disbelief.

"Not only do I know about this, there are other people who also know about it, and after every ritual, these people will leave a lot of gold and silver jewelry on the spot. This Red Eagle leader must have made a fortune." The guards were full of eyes. An envious look.

"Then I didn't see so many abnormal people during the day?" Xu Mo asked in confusion.

"Master Xu doesn't know something. These people are quite normal during the day and do whatever they need to do. Only when the leader calls them will they become what they were just now, as if they were possessed by an evil spirit." The guard explained to Xu Mo again.

"Then do you know how they joined the religion?" Xu Mo asked again.

"I don't know about that. After all, I don't want to be like them." The guard smiled.

"Okay, go ahead and go ahead. I'll call you if anything happens." After Xu Mo finished speaking, he waved his hand to the guard to signal him to leave.

Back in the room, Ling Que saw that Xu Mo was a little worried, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you a little tired from the busy schedule today?"

Xu Mo looked at Ling Que and told Ling Que the strange thing the guard had just told him.

After hearing this, Ling Que immediately opened his eyes and said, "Oh no, this is the real purpose of their insistence on opening up border trade."

"What's going on? What's going on?" Xu Mo looked at Ling Que in confusion and asked.

"The kind of plant I saw with you that day, I asked why I had never seen it before. I have been in the mountains for nearly a thousand years, and there cannot be plants that I am not familiar with. I had a bad feeling. .”

"There are countless people under Yagong who know how to make and administer poisons, and Taoist Xianfeng is just one of them, so I suspect that they developed this flower just to control people's consciousness to achieve their ulterior secrets." Ling Que said a series of words. The reasoning seemed so reasonable to Xu Mo.

"Then how should we solve this matter now?" Xu Mo frowned, regretting and blaming himself. It was his underestimation of the enemy that caused the current situation.

"Ms. sir, you don't have to worry. I think this flower has not flowed into Kyoto city for more than a month. We will first find out where it goes and then destroy it one by one." Lingque thought deeply for a moment and said to Xu Mo.

"For today's plan, I should go to Hexiangyuan to find out." Xu Mo seemed to have found a way to solve the problem, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"What, you want to go to Hexiangyuan?" Lingque suddenly looked at Xu Modao with his eyes widened.

"Yeah, if I don't go, how can I investigate?" Xu Mo looked at Lingque blankly and asked.

"Have you been thinking about going to that kind of place for a long time?" Ling Que pinched Xu Mo's arm and asked angrily.

"Oh, no, listen to me. If I don't go, then who do you want me to let go? If I don't go to hell, who will?" Xu Mo grinned and shouted, obviously being pinched by Ling Que. .

"Then you can't go either. I think it's better for me to go." Lingque looked at Xu Mo without curiosity and said.

"No, you can't go. There are all men there. If you go, won't you go into the tiger's mouth?" Xu Mo was jealous at this time, fearing that Ling Que's beautiful appearance would be peeped by others.
