The original arrangement of his father and son was disrupted because of this.
Because of this, he was angered and hated by Yan Yanshan of the Lishan School, which can be said to be not worth the loss.
So this time, he must find out the truth and find out the real culprit behind it.
"found it!"
Suddenly Xia Houji shouted in the distance.
He seemed to have found some important clues. He was squatting on the ground, holding a black and dirty cloak-like thing in his hand.
"Wait, are those... that person's clothes that day?" Zhou Yugui was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he was ecstatic, knowing that he had found an important clue.
He hastened to take three steps in parallel, and quickly walked over.
"Mr. Xiahou, what clue did you find!?" He said quickly.
"Sure enough..." Xia Houji didn't look back, but looked down at a trace left on the ground.
"I guessed right, this should be the place where the murderer changed his clothes after committing the crime.
He simply buried his clothes in the weeds here, without even hiding them.Just throwing it into it like this, it seems that I was too eager to leave, so I..."
Before Xia Houji finished speaking, he suddenly paused.He lowered his head to examine the ground hidden under the grass.
'If starting from here, the person no longer deliberately hides, but calmly walks out of the woods and returns to the Chidao, then it will be much easier to find footprints and judge his weight and shape. '
A thought flashed in Xia Houji's mind.
He pushed aside the grass and saw a faint imprint in the corner, so he moved closer to look.
suddenly!His pupils shrank suddenly.
"Mr. Xiahou?"
Zhou Yugui approached curiously, looking at Xia Houji who was squatting on the ground, with some doubts.
"Is there any important discovery?" He asked carefully.
Xia Houji stood up slowly, still holding the black cloak in his hand.
puff!
Suddenly, his body trembled, he spurted a big mouthful of blood forward, and then fell down with his head thrown up.
Zhou Yugui was shocked, and he rushed up to support him.
Suddenly he paused again and stopped quickly.
Seeing Xiahouji fell to the ground, his whole body twitched, and blood gushed from his mouth and nose.
Zhou Yugui only felt chills all over his body.
"who!!?"
He looked around, but couldn't find anyone who did it.
"Master! Rewind! It's poisonous!" A well-informed subordinate beside him yelled immediately.
Zhou Yugui just woke up like a dream, and hurriedly retreated.
Fortunately, he is also a powerful martial artist himself, and strength is circulating around his body all the time, isolating everything.
Otherwise, I am afraid that I have been recruited now.
Looking at Xia Houji who was slowly moving on the ground, Zhou Yugui felt numb in his heart.
How long has it been since the incident happened?How did Xia Houji get poisoned for such a long time?
Could it be that there is poison on that dress?
Moreover, Xia Houji's life is nothing, the key is that once he dies, the clues and progress will be cut off.
With the rotten yamen now, where would he find such a powerful investigator in such a short time?
But after a long time, wind and rain, all traces will be gone.
Bang!
Angry in his heart, Zhou Yugui punched hard on the side tree trunk, the bark burst and splashed.
"Master, Xia Houji is dead."
A subordinate carefully covered his mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief, went up and poked Xia Houji with a long branch to make sure that he was still and out of breath.
"..." Zhou Yugui's expression turned ugly, he didn't expect the murderer to be so difficult to deal with.
After such a long time, is it the poison left recently, or the poison that was injected at that time?
This person has such a vicious and meticulous mind, if he meets again...
Zhou Yugui felt more and more the danger of this matter.
"Hurry up and invite the best poison expert in the city. I will report this matter to my father."
Now this matter, I'm afraid I have to take a long-term plan, let my father take over personally, and gradually figure it out...
……
……
……
Wei He slowly withdrew his energy, restrained his strength, and opened his eyes to look at the old man Jiuying who was carefully manipulating the test dish.
"How is it? Is there any progress?" Wei He asked in a deep voice.
In the house, there are all kinds of living animal cages everywhere, from bugs to small animals, to slightly larger wild boars, everything that one expects to find.
There is also a hanging wooden frame grid on the wall, and many small bottles made of colored glass are placed on it. Simple code names are written on the surface of the bottles with a vermilion pen.
Jiu Ying was standing in front of a strange-shaped glass-metal device, carefully mixing several juice powders together.
puff.
The powder ignited in an instant, emitting thick pungent smoke, and then quickly charred and condensed.
The light of the fire dimmed and was extinguished by Nine Shadows.
He sighed.
"It's still a failure. Although the method you mentioned has made new progress, it still has problems with the ratio."
"This is the biggest difficulty." Wei He nodded.
"The method of poisoning, you and I have also summed up these days, there are five in total: attracting, fixing, burying, dispersing, and hiding."
"You and I are good at the first four categories, but this last category is difficult."
Nine Shadows also nodded.
"Tibetan is to hide the medicine deep in it with strength, but strength is closely related to ourselves, how can we hide it in our own strength and release it when it is used?
It’s fine if it’s an ordinary toxin, but we can’t bear the powerful poison ourselves. Isn’t hiding the strength to kill ourselves? "
"Indeed..." Wei He nodded.
That's right, what the two of them are studying now is the direction that countless people have been exploring carefully since ancient times: Poison Art.
The traditional direction of poisoning skills is to rely on the adaptability of the human body, a little bit of adaptation to improve the resistance to various poisons, and then use this kind of poison that one is not afraid of but others are afraid of as a means of fighting the enemy.
But this kind of poisonous work is often extremely weak due to the limit of the human body's adaptability.It doesn't have much effect on the martial artist.
Wei He and Jiu Ying are researching in another direction.
That is, to hide poison with strength, and directly integrate poison and strength into one.But without hurting himself.
You must know that the traditional poisoning technique is not powerful, and it will sacrifice one's own lifespan.After all, the human body needs energy to constantly adapt to the outside world.
Where does energy come from?In fact, it is life potential.
And if Wei He's research is successful, then they will be able to eliminate the damage to their bodies, and at the same time gain a more powerful advantage in poison attacks.
"Forget it, don't worry about it yet. Brat Wei." Jiuying put down the things in his hand.
"I caught a good and suitable beast, and I'm going to make it into a meat field. Would you like to take a look together?" He suggested.
"Rattian? Of course!" Wei He had never seen a meatfield with his own eyes.
After all, for so many years, he had always heard about the meat field, but he had never actually seen what it was, nor did he know how it was made.
Now is a good opportunity.
"Then come with me." Jiuying nodded.
He first went to a locked box in the house to get his own variant, then left the house with Wei He, and walked through the mountains and forests for about half an hour.
Soon, the two came to a cave shaped like a gourd.
Nine Shadows entered first.
Wei He followed closely behind.
While the two of them remained calm, impenetrably fine poisonous powder drifted out of their bodies silently, adhering to the surroundings of the cave entrance.
These poisonous powders can last for twelve hours. As long as there is no heavy rain, any living thing will be attached to it when it comes in or out.
This is one of the means of prevention.
Entering the entrance of the cave, the two of them stretched out their hands casually, supported the cave wall, or lowered their heads to talk, and they would naturally release various poisonous powders.
All kinds of poisonous powder and poison form a protective belt, which can prevent anyone from entering here rashly.
These poisonous powders can't be blown away by the wind, and they can only disappear when they are washed away by a large amount of rain.
Otherwise, you can only wait for the time to pass and the effect of the medicine to fade and volatilize to be safe.
Not long after, Jiuying took Wei He to the depths of the cave.
Between the dark stones, there is the tinkling sound of thin running water.
A giant stag with a body length of three meters and a height of two meters is crawling on the ground, as if resting with its eyes closed.All kinds of chains and ropes were tied all over his body.
Sensing the approach of the two, the stag opened his eyes suddenly, staring at Jiuying fiercely with his bloodshot eyes.
Moo! !
It let out a deafening roar, and the whole cave was hummed and numb.
"This strange beast, named Stone Deer, is extremely fast. Even ordinary martial artists can't catch it. Only those who specialize in leg skills have the chance to catch it. I also used medicine this time and set a trap to catch it successfully. .” Nine Shadows introduced.
Chapter 144 Luck
"I remember that a while ago, there were many strange beasts migrating from a distance in the nearby mountains and forests. Could this guy be one of them?" Wei He remembered that he had never heard of stone deer near Xuanjing City before.
"It should be." Jiuying nodded. "Okay, let's not talk nonsense, I will be the meat farm. From now on, the old man's meat farm will be placed here. You can help me and take a look. I will give you a third, how about it?"
"Okay." Wei He also knew the old man's details these days.There is no one around this guy, and he has nowhere to go. He is wandering around without any care.
In addition, he has already reached the limit of martial arts, and at the moment of exhaustion of Qi and blood, he doesn't really have much desire for these meat fields, they are just used to maintain his research on medicine.
So he is also welcome.
After all, he needs these right now.
Before he regained his senses, Jiuying's figure flashed and rushed forward, a cloud of medicinal powder flew out, just covering Shilu's head.
The stone deer struggled and yelled, but it was useless. Soon, it became unconscious and fell to the ground slowly.
"The effect of the medicine can only last for a short time, so it must be done as soon as possible!" Jiuying took out the gray ball alien in his hand, stepped forward, and lightly touched the stone deer's abdomen with his palm.
Suddenly a bloody mouth was cut open, and he immediately stuffed the alien species into it.
Something weird happened.
The alien species seemed to be a living thing. It suddenly wriggled and spread out limply. From the ball, tentacles like blood veins stretched out and penetrated into the stone deer's body.
Moo! !
Even in a coma, Shi Lu let out a painful cry.
Its body began to gradually grow larger and swell, as if it had been blown.
Soon, it stuffed the belly of the alien species, and it grew bigger and bigger, as if it had become a big ball, almost half the size of the stone deer's body.
It whined, roared, and tried to struggle, but the alien species' erosion seemed extremely terrifying, and soon, the stone deer became silent.
