[Ancient Sword II] Morning Light Shadow

About two hours later, Shen Xi discovered by accident that all the people who should be notified have been notified. Needless to say in Chang'an, the two immortals adjusted their rhetoric slightly. It is not too difficult to get out of the chaos of donating poison.What's more, it was Yigao who asked Shen Xi to kill the rebel wizard with the Black Death. With this connection, it is not suspicious for the two of them to participate.

Outside of the drug donation city, Shen Ye will not let go of anyone who may leak the matter of Lie Shanbu's connection with the heart demon, and this matter has something to do with his precious sister, so it must be dealt with as soon as possible. The longer it drags on, the more likely it is that someone will catch clues and trace it down.

Fortunately, Le Shaocheng, the commander of the Western Expedition Army, set up a siege outside the city in order to preserve his troops, intending to exhaust the donations of poisonous food and grass. In this way, Shen Ye had a chance to beat the time difference to solve future troubles.

"Looks like it's not enough to just destroy the wooden branches..."

After hearing the news from his sister, Shen Ye pondered for a moment, then gave a new order.

"The evacuation is postponed. Those who sneaked into the hands of the drug donors and those who have not been exposed will continue to go back to inquire about the news. It is important to find out who made this wooden branch and what forces are involved behind it!"

Cong Yang touched his nose subconsciously.They were very careful not to leave any traces when they withdrew the donated drugs, and she had the highest ranking, so it seemed that she was the one who took charge of this matter... Also, apart from the brothers and sisters of the high priest, she was the only one who knew the most inside information, or That sentence, the fewer people involved in these things, the better.

In terms of drug donation, according to the status of the warning spells that Chu Qi left in the secret room where Jumuzhi was stored, no one has discovered that Jumuzhi has been stolen.After all, it was only less than an afternoon, and the evil king went out of the palace to check on the officials who were killed and hadn't returned yet. The people who stayed behind in the palace didn't have enough authority, so naturally they couldn't detect it.

Shen Xi planned to study the mutated wooden branch that was stolen, so she didn't plan to put it back. In order to avoid alarming the snake, she wanted to put a counterfeit back.Shen Xi already has successful experience in making counterfeit products. Jumu branches, scarabs, and black death bacteria are all ready-made. Cross-race grafting requires a little technical support from Congyang.

Anyway, it's just a few days of fooling around, and the effect doesn't need to be restored much. At most, the appearance is simulated, which is not difficult.

"In case you run out of money someday, you can try this method..."

Shen Xi looked at the original goods and counterfeit goods, and touched his chin.

"Let's make some Cordyceps sinensis together, and sell them to the rich and heartless landlord Lao Cai, and the price of the sale will be split in half... What do you think of Congyang?"

Cong Yang looked at his little friend with a gloomy face: "... Where is your moral bottom line?"

"Chicken flavor, crunchy!" Shen Xi smiled brightly.

The priest of Tianfu decided not to delve into the issue of his little friend's three views, otherwise he must be the one who hurt internally.

Around dusk, news came from Yigao. Emperor Sheng Yuan heard that the remnants of the rebels might be hiding and donating poison, so he gave an order to see people alive and corpses.Shen Xi thought for a while, and added a few simple and easy ways to prevent and control plague to the letter.

——If someone in the Zhengxi Army is recruited during the attack on drug donation, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Zhengxi Army will be wiped out due to non-combat attrition.

After two days of continuous monitoring, Cong Yang finally found some clues, and it was indeed the remnants of Zhaluoshan's rebels who had colluded with King Hunxie.

Back then, Yigao used Shen Xi's method to cause an evil epidemic in the rebel camp in Lingzhou. After checking the situation, another wizard with a higher level of cultivation could not prevent the evil epidemic from taking people's lives, but he managed to find Yigao's burial ground. In the place where there were human figurines, scarabs that had been refined into plague Gu were dug up.

Because this wizard had domesticated monsters in the mountains before and was not in the camp, Shen Xi didn't know that this person existed.

To be able to graft wooden branches onto the plague gu, so that people can be infected with devil energy and black death at the same time without dying, there is still some skill...

Shen Xi rested her chin with one hand, and while looking at the mutant wooden branches in the barrier, she slowly drew meaningless circles on the table with her fingers.

The internal information about drug donations other than the military situation was continuously sent to Chang'an through the Shen Ye-Yigao-Emperor Shengyuan line, and Emperor Shengyuan also conveyed an idea to Shen Xi through Yigao: If there is an opportunity, Appropriate, help get rid of the remnants of the rebels, it's best to kill them quietly, fake homicide, and don't let the news leak out.

After receiving the letter, Shen Xi read the information sent back from the poison donation again. Although the number of poison donation soldiers who were infected with magic energy and black death and alienated were not many, their lethality was still quite large, not only by force, but also by force. Also includes visual effects.

Shen Xi thought for a while, then asked Shen Ye for his opinion, and the answer she got was that she could deal with the rebels as she wanted, but don't touch demonized people.

Emperor Shengyuan should not know about the matters related to the demons of the Lieshan tribe. If the task of cleaning up these demonized people is also taken over, it will be easy for people to perceive how familiar the Lieshan tribe is with the demonized people. The fact that Ying was lurking in Liuyue City is also very likely to be exposed.

In other words, it was intended to leave the demonized drug-donating soldiers to the Zhengxi Army for disposal.

However, Shen Ye didn't intend to deceive the imperial court soldiers. The information sent to Emperor Shengyuan through Yigao contained a small amount of research materials on demonized people by the priests of the Seven Killers.Although I can't go into too much detail, it is still possible to hint at the weaknesses and vital points of the demonized person.As for the prevention of the Black Death, that was Shen Xi's strong point, and Emperor Sheng Yuan knew that she used this trick to trick the rebels back then, so no matter how professional she was in this aspect, she would not arouse suspicion.

On the other side, Shen Xi got permission from her elder brother to make a move, so she returned to her tent and began to collect materials to make preparations for performing Gu.

"Didn't Miss Xi usually carry a lot of Gu worms and medicine with her?"

Seeing that Shen Xi was going around Congyang and Yunzhi, and even went outside to collect poisonous insects in the desert in the middle of the night, Chu Qi asked suspiciously.

"If it's just to get rid of the person who made the wooden branch of the variable moment, the subordinates can do it for them."

"Buddhas fight for a stick of incense, people fight for breath." Shen Xi gritted her teeth hard, "Dare to use the rest of my game to trick me, how can you kill me so easily? It's too cheap for him."

"..." Chu Qi stretched out his hand silently, and stroked the hairy little girl.

For the matter of being rubbed on the head by Chu Qi from time to time, Shen Xi has gotten used to it to the point where she really can't resist.

"Didn't you say it should be more concealed?"

"Yeah, I need to hide and relieve my anger, so I need to find more things." Shen Xi nodded, "If you want to do it, do it. I won't leave any traces this time."

It's better for the little girl to be cruel to the outside world, so that she won't be bullied... Chu Qi doesn't think she's distorting the facts at all.

Two days later, Shen Xi managed to gather all the things he needed, so he found a shovel, dug a small hole in his tent, buried the scarab in it, filled it with sand, and left the wooden branches outside.

"Xiao Xi, are you going to grow ju wood?" Shen Ye, who came to watch his sister's revenge, joked.

"Yes, it will bear fruit, brother, do you believe it?" Shen Xi nodded, took out a small porcelain bottle, and poured the colorless liquid inside into the sand at the root of the wooden branch, "Let's see it tomorrow... …By the way, I'm going to change tents, sleep in a tent with this thing at night, and have some snacks."

When Shen Xi changed tents and happily ate the cantaloupe that Chu Qi had iced with magic, the guards sent to monitor Ju Muzhi [-]/[-] because Shen Ye was worried were really frightened.

After being thrown into the lower realm, the Jumu branch infected with magic will take root and grow into a huge plant in a short period of time. Everyone is familiar with it, but the Jumu turned out to be the first time in history, and the fruit it bears is getting bigger and bigger. The more it looks like a human head... This becomes horror and novelty.

Only then did Congyang know why my little friends dared not stay in this tent. Anyone who woke up in the middle of the night and saw a human head hanging above him would not feel happy...

— But it’s not right to scare others! ! !

"Oh, you mean head fruit?"

Shen Xi calmly gnawed on the watermelon, which had a lot of sugar and a particularly sweet taste due to the large temperature difference between day and night and sufficient sunlight. This was also found by Chu Qi from a nearby oasis.

"It's just a symbolic sign. It just looks scary. Don't worry, the human head will grow completely by tomorrow at the latest, and the wooden branches will wither."

"...Can you stop downplaying such a horrific event?"

Congyang looked disheartened, "What does that thing do?"

"Reverse backbiting Gu performer." Shen Xi took it for granted, "The human head represents the life force that was drawn from the other party, and when it fully grows into that person's appearance, it means that he should go to reincarnation... That wizard must be old enough to live to this day Not too young, for an elderly person, sudden death from visceral failure is quite normal~"

Hearing what my friend said, Congyang recalled the appearance of Rentouguo, and it was indeed quite similar to the ugly old man called "National Teacher" she saw when she was lurking in the palace—no, that's not the point. !

"The wooden branch withered after drawing out the life force, where did the life force go? Don't tell me it's cheap!"

"Don't worry~"

Shen Xi picked up a slice of watermelon, and reluctantly stuffed it into his little friend's mouth.

——For a moment, Cong Yang felt that he was about to be pierced by Chu Qi's eyes.

"Don't forget, there's also the Plague Gu... Do you think the Plague Gu is more powerful, or the vitality of a dying old man is more powerful?"

Little friend, you are going to bully the demon again, isn't this poison wrapped in honey? --here you go!

Although he felt bad after seeing Jumu with human head fruit, but when he thought that this was his sister's masterpiece, as a hopeless dead sister, Shen Ye suddenly felt that he was worthy of being my sister's opponent to the enemy. The retaliation is also the same continuous foresight, foresight, stability, accuracy and ruthlessness!

Rotten bone spider, aqua regia, human head fruit... Yun Yu and Huayue looked at each other, a stream of sorrow from the heart gushed out.

At any rate, they can be regarded as watching Shen Xi grow up, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are both mother and sister.This little girl is getting more and more ruthless, what kind of man will she find in the future to be worthy of her...

Chu Qi silently pushed up the mask a little bit, hiding merit and fame.

After solving the problems left over from history, Shen Ye resolutely evacuated from the drug donation area, and the camp of Lie Shanbu was emptied in an instant.As for the follow-up, I intend to be detained in Chang'an, so I don't have to worry about no sources of news.

On the side of donating poison, Hunxie King Wenchen and military generals lost one of them, his left and right arms were gone, and he was stunned for a while, and he released the demonized soldiers, but he didn't expect that the demonized people were not under his control, and they went crazy Attack indiscriminately regardless of enemy or friend.Although Zhengxi Army had been prepared for a long time, it still lost some troops before beheading all the demonized people.

As for the drug-donating citizens who were attacked by demonized people earlier than Zhengxi Army, about one-third of them died at the hands of demonized people, causing heavy casualties.

It is said that in the chaos, King Hunxie, who was defeated and ruined, fled into the underground secret cave in the temple with the secret treasure of the royal family and sealed the entrance.The Zhengxi army searched the area of ​​hundreds of miles around the drug donation, but found no place with similar exits. After dozens of days, it was confirmed that there was no trace of King Hunxie. Then they went to the nearby oasis and resettled the survivors of the drug donation. Taking the prisoners of war and some of the spoils of war, Ming Jin retreated and returned to Chang'an.

But for Shen Xi, these things don't have much to do with her. The only problem she has to face now is that during those few days in the Western Regions, she ate too many sweet fruits...

Chu Qi said that as expected, Ms. Xi feels better when she hugs her.
