Chapter 199 Side Effects of Phantom Cold

Regarding the matter of spies, after Huo Lizhen discussed with the three elders, he had already identified the suspects. It is estimated that there are people from all directions in the Fire Clan who are suspected, and Huo Yanlong and his son are among them.

However, before the matter is confirmed, one should not scare the snake away. Ning Yujiang heard Huo Yanyang talk about it by chance. He thought that the police used to investigate cases and the customs used police dogs or instruments to test dangerous goods and drugs, so he suggested: "Since they plan to use Fireworks notify the demons outside the city to attack, so we might as well start looking for them from the fireworks. As far as I know, the fire people have never used gunpowder because they can control flames with mana alone. Smells like fireworks or gunpowder, maybe there's a clue."

Phantom Cold is very happy that he can show his skills, but he is very dissatisfied with the nature of the task: "I'm not Phantom Cold! How can you use me as a dog's nose?"

Ning Yujiang has always had a slightly better temper towards those who are useful to him. Hearing this, he said, "You are much better than Huan Fenghan. No one in the Fire Clan is capable of this task except you!" The taste of a cold is surprisingly good, you can smell the smell of food from a long distance, and you can easily distinguish several kinds of food ingredients mixed together. When I was in the Lianguo Palace, the Royal Kitchen was more than half a mile away from Yueshui Palace , Phantom cold stays at home but knows what to eat every day, which once amazed Ning Yujiang for a long time.

Everyone loves to hear good things, especially Phantom Cold. Hearing that Ning Yujiang praised it and said that no one can replace it, he immediately trembled, and without saying a word, he flapped his wings excitedly and flew out.

Huo Yanyang concluded doggy-leggedly: "I didn't expect that this phoenix can be used as a dog! Little Ginger Tang, your divine bird is really not simple!"

Ning Yujiang is not modest at all: "That's right! Let's see who raised it!"

Phantom Cold flew back not long after flying out, saying that he found the smell of gunpowder in the wild grass on the edge of the old Miyagi ruins.

Huo Lizhen, the Great Elder and others rushed over to inspect the scene, and they saw a firework abandoned in the grass.

The Great Elder said bitterly: "Damn it, you are really careful!"

Ning Yujiang touched Huanhan and said, "Can you smell the smell of other people on the fireworks, and then go find someone who has touched this firework?"

Phantom Cold was eager to express, and immediately obeyed obediently, but in the end he shook his head in frustration and said: "The smell is too weak, I'm not sure."

Ning Yujiang said: "Then can you confirm that there is the smell of the Fire Clan on it?"

Phantom Cold went to the side of the firework and sniffed it vigorously, nodded with certainty and said: "Yes, but it's already very weak, it's hard to tell who it belongs to."

"That's good!"

Ning Yujiang's certainty made several people at the scene curious, and the Sixth Elder couldn't help asking: "Could it be that Patriarch Feng has other magic tricks?"

"Let me tell you a story about a strange case I've heard before! Once upon a time, there was a headless case in which an old man was killed but there were six suspects. Each had a motive and possibility for the murder, but the government investigated for a long time and found nothing. Find specific evidence against any of them. Later, a new official was replaced in the local area. He thought of a way and ordered the family of the deceased to ask for the tablet of the old man in an empty house, and invited a famous wizard The practice, claiming that the ghost of the old man can personally testify against the murderer."

At this point in the story, except that there are a few suspects, but there is no definite evidence to prove which one is the real master, everyone can't tell what this story has to do with the Fire Clan incident, but they know that Ning Yujiang will not Talking nonsense about irrelevant things to waste everyone's time, so everyone is still listening carefully.

Just listen to Ning Yujiang continue: "The method of ghost testifying is very simple. The officials sprinkle a layer of white ash on each suspect's back. The wizard and the ghost communicate well, and the white ash will be blown off the back of the innocent with the wind. Who will leave at that time?" Whoever still has white ash on the back of the room is the real culprit. So the suspects were brought into the empty room one by one, stood alone with their backs to the tablet for a quarter of an hour, and then were taken to the back of the house for inspection."

The second elder had already figured it out when he heard this, clapped his hands and said: "Wonderful! It's a bluff to let the guilty murderer show his feet." He said this, and the rest of the people also came to their senses.

Huo Yanyang has always been careless and lacks the city government. Hearing this, he asked: "What do you mean? Xiao Jiangtang, please explain clearly!"

Huo Lizhen said: "What kind of ghost personally testifies that the murderer is false? Clean, which one is the murderer!"

The Great Elder stroked his beard and said, "The meaning of Patriarch Feng is that we want us to bluff like this to lure the traitor out. The traitor doesn't know that we can no longer distinguish the scent traces on the fireworks. Birds can tell who a traitor is by smell, so the real traitor will definitely try to cover it up, whoever smells abnormal is the traitor!"

Ning Yujiang smiled and said, "That's it!"

In the afternoon of the same day, Huo Lizhen summoned all the suspected figures from the four factions they circled to the main hall, and added some other tribesmen in order to deceive others, and publicly announced that the monsters invading the Lihuo Hall a few days ago had been found out. A traitor appeared in the Fire Clan, and under the guise of fireworks, they planned to cooperate with the monsters inside and outside to attack the Lihuo Palace, but the plan was destroyed by the head of the Feng Clan by mistake.

Today, we have found the communication fireworks used by the traitor. There is a smell of the traitor on the fireworks, and the Feng Clan patriarch's phoenix bird has a very sensitive sense of smell, so he can tell who this smell belongs to, so now call the Fire Clan people in batches Let the phoenix divine bird distinguish one by one to find the real culprit!

When the members of the Fire Clan below heard that there was a traitor from the Litong demon among their people, they were blown up on the spot!The father and son Huo Yanlong and Huo Weiyun who were in the crowd changed their expressions drastically when they heard this. Seeing that they had failed two days ago, they were afraid of being discovered, so they left the fireworks used for communication in a deserted place. Unexpectedly, they found them all !

It's not that they didn't think about doing nothing but using spells to completely destroy the fireworks, but the fireworks are special objects, and they make a lot of noise when destroyed. They were afraid of being discovered, so they just discarded them casually, and now they are caught When they got the handle, the two father and son regretted it so much that their intestines were green.

They thought at the same time that both father and son had touched that firework!

The Great Elder raised his hand and shouted in a low voice: "Everyone be quiet! Listen to me!" The deep voice suppressed the noise below, and everyone quieted down obediently.

As soon as the great elder waved his hand, two attendants took out a jade plate, which was filled with clear water, and brought it to the center of the hall. Everyone could smell a fresh steam. This clear water may have some origin from a fairy spring.

"Everyone has a lot of business, and there are a lot of mixed smells on your body. If there are other smells covering up your own breath, it will be difficult for the Phoenix bird to distinguish. Originally, everyone should use this clean spring water to bathe and let the Phoenix bird smell it. Now, to save time , I just ask everyone to wash their hands in the spring water and smell their hands." The Great Elder explained.

A strange light flashed in Huo Yanlong's eyes, and he lightly touched his son's elbow. After he looked over in surprise, he quickly took out an ointment from his sleeve pocket at an angle invisible to others, and applied it on his palm.

Huo Weiyun was frightened to the point of disorientation, but when he saw his father's actions, he immediately understood and felt a lot more at ease in his heart. He quickly took the ointment from his father and applied it on his palms.

Huo Yanlong lowered his voice and confessed: "Don't let the water touch it... calm down."

Huo Weiyun nodded, and walked silently with his father to line up in front of the jade plate.There were no more than a few dozen people in the hall, and Huan caught the cold quite quickly, and it was Huo Yanlong and his son's turn within less than a stick of incense.

Huo Weiyun watched his father pass the test safely, so he generously put his hands in the jade plate to wash. The spring water was transparent, and no one noticed that he secretly condensed all the mana in his palm. His hand was in the plate, but there was no water dripping on it!

The phantom cold sniffed hard on his hand twice, shook his head and let him go aside, Huo Weiyun pretended to be calm and walked slowly to his father, and then let out a long sigh of relief, although his father had the way to deal with it , but he also felt as if he had escaped from death.

The two father and son were secretly proud of themselves, but they didn't know that when they stretched out their hands in front of Phantom Cold, Phantom Cold had already secretly told Ning Yujiang that they had recognized their name!
After another meal or so, everyone in the hall passed the test. Everyone whispered to each other that the spy must not be among this group of people, and they all waited for the patriarch or the great elder to order them to go back to each house and find their mothers.

Ning Yujiang walked up to the Great Elder, and said something in a low voice. The Great Elder's expression changed, and he shouted angrily: "Huo Yanlong and Huo Weiyun come forward, and I ask you, are your consciences given to dogs? Eat it! Why do you want to collude with monsters to kill your own people!"

The two father and son turned pale with shock when they heard the words. They never expected that the Great Elder would wait for everyone to pass the test before suddenly attacking him!
Huo Weiyun felt guilty and scared, and didn't know what to say or do for a while, but Huo Yanlong was more experienced after all, and argued loudly: "You are wronged! What evidence does the Great Elder have to accuse our father and son like this?!"

Phantom Influenza felt that it was time for it to appear on the stage, proudly said: "Everyone's hands are clean, only the smell of clean spring water, only you father and son, there is no smell of spring water on your hands, only a strange smell of medicine, if It's not that you are guilty of being a thief and dare not wash your hands with spring water, so what is the reason?!"

Huo Yanlong immediately understood that he had been duped, and was so angry that he couldn't say a word while pointing at Huanhan.In horror, Huo Weiyun saw the expressions of the clansmen around him change from astonishment to guard, and then to hatred and contempt. Knowing that the situation was over, his knees went limp and he almost fell to the ground on the spot.
