The Taoist priest pointed to the medicine mortar in front of him, "Look, the other medicine mortars are all covered with green juice. Only the inner wall of this medicine mortar has red traces."
Indeed, the interiors of the other red pottery medicine mortars were all changed in color by green, except for the one in front of the Taoist Master, which had a scarlet color from unknown origin.
"Could it be the blood of the deceased?" Xiaolan asked, "Maybe someone died nearby and the blood spurted out..."
"Speaking of which," the Taoist priest raised his eyes and said, "Have you noticed that we have been surveying for so long, but we haven't found a trace of blood."
"I'm also thinking about this question," Miaozhen said, "More than a hundred people died, but there's no blood stains?"
"And the store manager said that their bodies were very miserable and had external injuries," Baomu said, "What's going on?"
"Have the police cleaned this place?" Xiaolan asked, tilting her head.
"How can the police clean up a crime scene?" The Taoist priest almost laughed. "What they want to do is protect the scene."
"Did the murderer do the cleaning?" Xiaolan crossed her arms, "Why did they do this?"
"In order not to leave traces?" Baomu guessed.
Miaozhen shook his head, it seemed that he didn't understand either.
The four of them thought about the blood-stained medicine mortar for a long time. After a long while, the Taoist priest suddenly reached out and picked up the medicine mortar.
"Taoist Priest!..."
"Taoist Priest..."
The Taoist Master took the medicine mortar in his hand and looked around, then brought it to his nose and smelled it.
"Baomu, you smell it." The Taoist priest handed the medicine mortar to Baomu.
"No need to hand it over," Baomu immediately hid, "I can smell it, it is indeed the smell of blood."
"It seems right..." The Taoist Master weighed the medicine mortar, then turned around and put it directly into Xiaolan's hand, "Xiaolan, take it."
Xiaolan didn't react for a moment and subconsciously grabbed the medicine mortar, "Ah?"
Miaozhen and Baomu were both stunned.
"This thing shouldn't be dangerous," the Taoist priest stood up and blinked at Xiaolan, "Let's take it away, maybe it will be useful."
"Ah?...Oh..."
Xiaolan didn't know what to do. Although she didn't know what the Taoist priest's purpose was, she instinctively felt that the Taoist priest must be saving up some big job.
"This thing is ominous," Miaozhen reluctantly followed the Taoist priest's thoughts and said considerately, "If Miss Xiaolan has any ideas, otherwise... I will help you get it."
"I'll do it," Baomu also said, "Isn't this thing poisonous?"
"It's okay, I can just take it," Xiaolan looked at the Taoist Master's eyes and said, "Didn't Miaozhen say that these three things are not poisonous when separated, even if they are poisonous, I have already been poisoned anyway, so I am not afraid anymore.
"
Xiaolan stuffed the medicine mortar into her backpack. After putting on her backpack, she followed the three of them out of the vine house.
"Now there is only one last room left," Baomu said, looking at the flower tree in front of the last room, "What is a bloomless flower?"
"As the name suggests, it is a flower tree that will not bloom," Miaozhen said. "Look, there are only leaves on this tree, but no flowers."
Miaozhen and Xiaolan looked at him puzzled.
"It's almost winter now, so of course they won't bloom."
"No," the Taoist priest suddenly interrupted the conversation between the three of them. He pointed the light of his flashlight at the steps in front of the flower tree, "Look, there is a petal there."
"where?"
The other three people came over one after another.
Sure enough, in the gap of the steps in front of the flower tree house, there was a dry half-red and half-white petal stuck. I don’t know how long the petal had been stuck here. The bright color also disappeared little by little with the loss of water. If you don’t pay attention carefully,
Look, it's not even easy to find a petal here.
"Didn't Xiaomiao really say that this tree won't bloom?" Xiaolan was confused.
"According to common sense..." Miaozhen didn't understand either, "It is said...obviously...but..."
"I seem to know what this red-pointed poisonous attractor is," the Taoist priest said, "It should be the root of the rootless grass, the tip of the endless vine, and the flower of the unflowered flower."
Miaozhen's eyes widened, "You mean..."
The Taoist priest nodded, "According to our understanding, the red-pointed poison is used to harm people through manipulation, which is originally against the law of heaven. Such a cruel poison should also be made from the primer that is against the law of heaven. From what we just saw in the rootless grass house
I was doubting this, but seeing this petal made me even more convinced of this idea."
Reasonable and reasonable!
The three of them nodded in admiration and agreed with the Taoist Priest's conjecture.
They actually guessed how to make Red Point Poison!
It's just...what's the use of knowing this?
"Uh... But the question is, how are these three things cultivated?" Xiaolan scratched her head, "If we move these three potted plants home, can we also learn to make red-pointed poison?"
"I couldn't have guessed this," the Taoist Master said, "After all, this is their secret skill of the Seven Skills, and even if we make poison, it will be useless."
"Why?"
"Because the key to the red tip is not the red tip poison," Miaozhen said, "but the needle. The red tip poison is just a kind of poison. The real red tip is actually a needle, and what is condensed on the needle is seven
Qiao’s spiritual power, except for Qiqiao, others cannot use it even if they get the red tip poison and red tip."
Xiaolan tried not to show a pity expression.
"It doesn't matter. It's something that can harm people anyway. If it's useless, then it's useless."
"The entrance to the backyard of the mansion should be in this flower tree house," Miaozhen looked at the entrance to the last room, "We have to look for it carefully."
Perhaps because of the environment, Xiaolan became nervous.
"Don't be afraid," the Taoist priest patted Xiaolan on the back, "Put your schoolbag on and just follow us."
"Um."
The Taoist priest and Miaozhen stood on both sides of the door. They exchanged glances, nodded, and then simultaneously stretched out their hands and pushed open the door.
Creak——
The door opened.
A blast of icy cold air hit my face.
Xiaolan felt that her eyes suddenly became brighter.
Even a little dazzling.
"This is……"
Mirror.
The four of them looked at the world behind the door in shock.
They saw themselves.
Four bright lights were seen.
There is only a mirror in the room.
Four mirrors.
There is nothing in the flower tree house except for four large mirrors, which divide the room into regular pentagons. The light of the flashlight is infinitely refracted in the world of mirrors, becoming as bright as a torch.
"Oh my god..."
Xiaolan followed the three of them obediently and walked in slowly.
In an instant, countless versions of themselves appeared in the mirror. Xiaolan looked at those figures and felt that she almost didn't recognize herself.
"What the hell is going on?"
"I don't know," the Taoist priest shook his head, "but the entrance to the backyard must be right here."
