Xu Qing was silent.
After a long time, he raised his head. The waves in his heart turned into waves in his mind. One after another, they kept rolling.
"County Minister …" Xu Qing muttered.
"…"
He did not have much contact with the county minister, but in fact, Xu Qing respected him very much.
This came from his alchemy and the scholarly aura that was similar to Master Bai and the Sword Holding Court's Grand Elder.
Xu Qing still remembered clearly that when he first came to the county capital, the county minister's gentle voice and appearance in the Sword Holding Palace, and what Deacon Sun said about the great merit of the Su Pill.
When the war started, Xu Qing also saw the county minister's tired expression many times.
He also remembered that when he was facing the Immortals, the county minister came and dug a hole with him.
Although the county minister blended in smoothly after the Seventh Prince's arrival, this did not mean anything.
After that, many things that were beneficial to Fenghai County were initiated by the county minister. Together with the deputy palace masters of the three major palaces, they asked the Seventh Prince for help.
The county minister should be credited for not being able to hold on for so long at the frontlines.
"As for the method of poisoning …"
Zi Qing muttered. She turned all the clues she had obtained into a train of thought and organized them one by one.
"But I still don't know who I should report this to."
"Xu Qing might also be investigating this after completing the Fourteen Secret Scrolls. But unfortunately, I'm not omniscient and omnipotent. There's no time. The county minister is dead, and the war is coming."
Zi Qing silently raised his head and looked at the county capital in the dark outside.
"The county minister could be the palace master or Ye Jiu."
"…"
But … no one could see the truth from it. "
Zi Qing muttered. But halfway through, he paused.
"Using the harmless and cheap Su Pill as a medium, he infused it with the power of Life Calamity. In the youth, hundreds of millions of humans kept eating it, changing our fate and the county minister's nutrients."
"Why did the county minister do this? Zhu Zhao and I …"
Especially during the war, the county minister did not procrastinate. He devoted himself to the frontlines and gained the trust of countless mortals. He became the backbone.
The county minister had been mocking Chu Tianqun and everyone else!
Zhu Xiao sighed and pushed open the door of the Sword Pavilion. He stood at the door and looked at the dark sky.
"Actually, the county minister must have changed the seven words of the herbs he mentioned in class to the county minister. Then … everything would be logical."
"
"However, if you want to use the Light of Life Calamity Pill, you first need a ray of Light of Dawn. That's why Xu Qing asked you to investigate. Secondly, it's not the method of poisoning.
"
That matter was too big, so I couldn't make a rash decision. Instead, I treated it as a clue and added it into my analysis.
"The reason why the White Jade Hand appeared in the Forbidden Immortal Land is because it was originally a transaction …"
The original mission had involved a spy from the Holy Billow Tribe discovering a huge secret and escaping.
And the refining method was very peculiar. Even with Zhu Xiao's understanding of alchemy, she was unable to analyze it.
Following that, Zi Qing thought of the little girl D187. She was formed from a strand of Chu Tianqun's luck. She had appeared in the Diamond State after the Wish Box was retrieved.
"Therefore, all the signs point to the Light Calamity Pill.
"
For example, when Xu Qing had just returned, it was the County Deputy Governor who had suppressed the matter of the tribes that he had ordered to join forces to suppress them.
Zi Qing understood the truth now.
At that moment, it was as if a large hand had appeared in my mind and pushed away all the fog. The contents of the lesson that the County Deputy Governor had taught us, the new swordsmen, appeared muddied in the fog.
Zi Qing said in a loud voice.
Such a person with great merit.
Thinking back to what the First Prince had done before he arrived, it wasn't hard to see that the seven of us were working together.
Zi Qing's body trembled slightly, and the waves in her heart grew stronger.
To make it easier to understand, there were two ways.
"It was me who poisoned the county minister.
"
That matter was too big. Before Zhu Xiao could understand everything, when the truth was revealed, not only did she feel confused, but she also felt her heart palpitate.
In the end, she could only trust everyone.
"The color of the sea can be easily changed according to the County Deputy Governor's method. You only need to change the color of the thousands of rivers that converge into the sea. So quickly, the color of the sea can be changed without anyone noticing."
"
"Actually, Sealer County Minister told you the answer after his death."
"
"It wasn't the County Deputy Governor who changed the state of the county minister, but the county minister changed his own state with his own strength. What the County Deputy Governor did was to create an environment and nutrients to guide the county minister."
"
It was like the sun in the sky.
Zi Qing looked at the powder of the Element Pill on the ground and took out the last Element Pill from the pill bottle. She held it in her hand and observed it carefully.
Zi Qing's eyes narrowed. I thought of the key point.
"To change the state of a medicinal herb, one doesn't need to be bold and decisive. They also need to be mixed with Yin and Yang before they are plucked. In my opinion, what needs to be done is to moisten the herb."
""
Many of the herbs in the pill didn't seem to match. They were formed before their medicinal properties were changed.
Zi Qing's scalp went numb.
"That's the answer."
""
Zhu Xiao's breathing slowed. That train of thought was logical. Everything was clear at that moment.
He was a person who had fought for Chu Tianqun's advantage many times after the war ended and the First Prince took over.
Zi Qing had studied the Element Pill once before. At that time, my conclusion was that the Element Pill was indeed better than the White Pill in dispelling the foreign matter.
The person who asked me to investigate everything hadn't died yet.
Its appearance caused the dawn of that day to come much faster than before.
"Such a method …"
After a long time, a light appeared in the distant sky. It was incomparably dark and gloomy, but it illuminated the sky.
In the past, this empty Wish Box didn't contain a single Fate Pill. Because it had been stored in the Wish Box for too long, even though the Fate Pill had been taken out for many years, the scent of osmanthus still remained and hadn't completely dissipated.
In the past, no matter how much Zi Qing listened to that sentence, her heart was filled with admiration. She respected the County Premier who could think of such a method.
Zi Qing's heart was filled with a million bolts of lightning. I recalled the County Premier's gaze when he looked at everyone in class.
You told them the answer. You told everyone the answer. But they … why didn't they realize it?
"Let the County Premier absorb it without knowing, and influence it from the inside."
""
"Unknowingly, he changed the environment it was in and changed the nutrients it needed. Let it absorb it without knowing, and influence it from the inside."
"" "
At this moment, Zi Qing felt that it was unreal to say that I was the culprit behind everything.
"To poison the County Premier, one didn't have to be bold and decisive. What one needed was to do it quietly."
""
The scent appeared outside the Fate Pill.
After that, I didn't see any signs of the County Premier being innocent, nor did I obtain any evidence. "
"To change the nutrients I needed without the County Premier noticing … Nutrients. Combined with the principle of Fate Pill, isn't this fate?"
""
"Hence, the county deputy didn't poison the county governor directly. I treated the county governor as a medicinal herb, and the target of my poison … was all the humans within the county capital's boundaries, not the environment where the medicinal herb grew!
""
At that time, he didn't seem irritable. Now that he recalled it, there was a hint of mockery and teasing in his irritation. It was as if to him, it wasn't just a guessing game.
"When he knew how to change the color of the sea, he understood everything."
""
After that, the County Premier fell, the Punishment Department collapsed, and the little girl went missing.
You couldn't do anything about it … "
At this moment, the County Premier was Zhu Xiaojin's only pillar of support.
All the old people in this group treated me as their leader. Coupled with the great merit of the Fate Pill, I couldn't say that I was highly regarded by the prince and trusted by the people. "
However, when he read these words now, a shocking bolt of lightning flashed across Zi Qing's mind.
For example, the County Premier had discussed with the Seventh Prince many times about the rules and protection exchanged after the battle of the Sword Holding Palace.
"The mysterious white-robed man who appeared on the battlefield that day, I wasn't Marquis Yao. I was the County Premier.
"Zi Qing and Kong Xianglong have discussed this matter before, but I really can't think of any way to make the governor, who is half a step into the Enigmatic Divinity stage, fail to detect the poison." "That's right.
Especially when I thought of the countless humans who thought that Suo Dan was the County Premier's great merit. Yet, the County Premier still told the world all the answers in the dark.
It made sense. Everything made sense now.
"He borrowed the luck of the humans in the County Capital to change and influence the County Premier. From there, he achieved the goal of poisoning him."
"To put it in a higher level, you didn't change his state. It was his own power that changed his state. All you did was to create an environment and nutrients to guide him."
""
Hence, the Fourteen Secret Scrolls were created. It provided a basis for Xu Qing to determine the County Premier's death.
Meanwhile, as the heavens brightened, the earth also sent out aftershocks, bringing with them warmth.
This was because the other party had indeed successfully modified the White Pill. Using that method, he created the Fate Pill that benefited the humans in the County Capital.
At that time, Zhu Xiao felt that the other party was sick. There was something filthy in his body.
"Without the County Premier's knowledge, he changed the environment I was in … the environment. The second highest level was the humans in the County Capital.
Suo Dan was a big lie! "
Then, I recalled the contents of Xu Qing's jade slip. I also recalled the results of my investigation in Mount Chaoxia.
"Because there were too many ways to kill the powerful County Premier silently, unless it was done by someone in the Spirit Condensation Realm. However, if that was the case, there wouldn't be a need for that war."
That was what the County Premier said at that time.
Zi Qing always remembered that when I asked Feng Hai Jun about the whereabouts of the Palace Master and Ye Jiu, Feng Hai Jun told me something.
There were many things that the County Premier was involved in.
"Chao Xiaguang, you found a clue that proved that there was indeed no record. That piece of evidence made it possible for the Life Calamity Pill to be used."
"Human Emperor Xuan Zhan, 20 hours later, a treasure that belonged to the human race rose in the White Sky Clan's territory!"
Zi Qing thought that it was because of the collapse of the Punishment Department, which caused it to dissipate. However, looking at it now, that wasn't the case!
Looking at it now, the real spy should have died. Only Zi Qing, we got the wish box from the spy's son. "
At the same time, all the cultivators in Zhu Xiaojin received a notice from the County Premier at that moment.
The fact that he was trusted by the Palace Master and stayed in the County Capital showed that although the Palace Master had some doubts, he still trusted him instinctively.
Zi Qing was silent. He suppressed the various waves in his heart.
That was the County Premier's unique medicine method. By changing the environment of the herbs, he could unknowingly change and influence them to the effect he needed.
However, the little girl recovered very quickly, so Zi Qing didn't think too much about it. With the information I had at that time, it was difficult for me to think too much.
"According to the records in the 14 secret volumes, the Life Calamity Pill had once been placed in this empty wish box. Xu Qing knew about that. That was why I determined that it was caused by this pill after the County Premier died."
