The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 116 Cause and Effect
Yang Xiucai's old house is already crumbling because it has not been lived in and maintained for nearly ten years, and the thatch on the mud brick hut is almost bottomed out.There was no such thing as a door lock. Lin Tianci pushed it lightly, and the wooden door creaked open.

Everything in the house was covered with a thick layer of dust. Occasionally, you could see the traces of recently turned over, which should be left by Yang Xiucai who came back to search for something not long ago.

"Tianci, is there really a baby here?"

Linglong hugged Lin Tianci's neck as usual, and stayed on him like a spirit behind her.

But what she said is also right, judging from the current situation, this place really doesn't look like a place with any treasures.

"Yes and no."

Lin Tianci said, sweeping his eyes into the house, and raised his foot to go in:
"The whole thing started because Yang Xiucai came back to look for medicine."

"Looking for medicine?"

"Yang Xiucai has lived in the Tang family since he was a child. It can be seen that the Tang family treats him very well. After getting along for a long time, they naturally have deep feelings. Yang Xiucai must be very anxious to see his future father-in-law's condition is getting worse. Most of the parties are seeking medical advice. He came up with this idea after the medicine failed."

Yang Xiucai's mother is probably a monk who is good at medicine. Although Yang Xiucai probably doesn't know that his mother is a monk, he must know that he is good at medicine.

"I guess Yang Xiucai came back to find out if his mother would leave any pills or prescriptions."

"Then why didn't you tell Miss Tang?"

"Because I'm not sure if it will work."

Even if there are prescriptions or elixirs, can you guarantee the right symptoms?Besides, whether it will be found is still unknown, and the possibility is very low.

Yang Xiucai didn't tell Miss Tang's family, most likely because she was afraid that she would be disappointed after she had hoped.

From this point of view, Yang Xiucai is indeed a gentle and kind person.

Unfortunately, he was out of luck.

While talking, Lin Tianci and Linglong entered the back room, and after a casual sweep, they saw a hidden compartment on the wall beside the bed.

The dark compartment is an inch deep, as if it was pulled out from the earthen wall. It needs to be covered with mud when used, but it is now open, so it can be seen at a glance.

There is a small porcelain bottle in the dark compartment, which looks like a bottle for medicine.

"That's the medicine that Yang Xiucai was looking for? Why didn't he take it away?"

Lin Tianci was also a little puzzled, he picked up the porcelain bottle and shook it, but there was no sound coming from it.

"It seems to be empty."

As he said that, he pulled out the cork, and the next moment, a burst of strange fragrance came from the bottle.

The fragrance is refreshing, as if it can sweep away fatigue, and it is refreshing.

It smells like a flower, but what exactly is the flower...

This is impossible to distinguish, because it doesn't feel like the smell of a certain flower, but more like a mixture of various flower fragrances.

Shaking the medicine bottle, pouring it over, a little golden powder fell into Lin Tianci's palm, it looked like ordinary dust, but the strange fragrance came from these powders.

"It smells like the powder of some kind of elixir, I can't tell the specifics"

Lin Tianci's elixir grades are very average, because it is too difficult to learn, and it also requires a fairly high-ranking medical skill as a foundation.

Conventional pills are fine, but things like this one, which can be known to be non-fantasy at a glance, have already exceeded his knowledge.

On the other hand, Linglong stared at the light golden powder and frowned, then said:

"This seems to be the powder of Baihua Xuming Pill."

"Isn't the powder of Baihua Xuming Pills green?"

Baihua Xuming Pill is a kind of fairy medicine that is relatively common among monks. Its grade is between 8th and 6th grade, and it is an emergency medicine.

The effect is just like the name, it is used for first aid.

"The light golden elixir powder is the symbol of Jiuzhuan's pill, so this is the Jiuzhuan Baihua Xuming Pill."

Pills are also graded in the same way as magic weapons, they are all grades.The so-called 'Zhuan' is used to distinguish the high and low efficacy of the same pill.

It is divided into one to nine revolutions, with nine being the most expensive.

Simply put, every refinement is a turn.

Ordinary Baihua Xuming Pills would not be refined too many times, and the third and fifth ranks are already quite good.

Jiuzhuan's Baihua Xuming Pill has at least three grades of pills, which belong to the real elixir.Not to mention mortals, even monks rarely see such treasures.

Ordinary Baihua Xuming Pills cannot be taken directly by mortals. The overbearing medicinal power will directly kill mortals. They cannot make the medicine work at all. For monks, it is a life-saving elixir, but for mortals it is life-threatening poison.

But Rank Nine is different. The medicine is powerful, but it is easier to digest and absorb. Even ordinary people can eat it directly.And a Nine Turns Hundred Flowers Renewing Life Pill, let alone a disease, it is standard operation for this person to live directly to a hundred years old.

"In the warehouse of the Dakong School, there are a few Jiuzhuan Baihua Xuming Pills collected by my master. The dan powder and medicinal fragrance are very similar to the one in front of me. I saw it when I sneaked into the warehouse before."

"Then I was scolded by the master."

"Yes……"

There must be high-grade elixir in the warehouse of the top ten like Dakongpai, and it is normal for Linglong to see it.

Brother Lin just hasn't been to the warehouse of the Divine Talisman Gate, otherwise he should be able to find something similar if he looks carefully.But he doesn't need to underestimate himself, although he didn't get scolded for sneaking to the warehouse and wandering around, but he almost burned the library.

——From this point of view, Linglong and Lin Tianci are really right...

Lin Tianci put the medicine bottle back into the dark compartment, Linglong said:
"The elixir inside here was taken away by Yang Xiucai, and it may have fallen into the belly of the evil thing. It's a pity."

Linglong didn't know what a possessed demon was, so she only called it an evil thing.

Lin Tianci knew it, but he couldn't explain how he knew it, but that's not the point.

"No, I guess Yang Xiucai didn't find the elixir either."

"why?"

"Because I really found the elixir, why did you leave the bottle? Come back and get the elixir and change the packaging?"

If you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case.

Now that I have found the elixir, why do I have to change the bottle and just take it away?

"The target of the evil thing is not the Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, I guess it's a magic weapon or something."

Lin Tianci said and walked out of the back room:

"After Yang Xiucai failed to find the medicine, he could only return to Yueguang City dejectedly, but it rained heavily halfway, and he had to stay in the Earth Temple outside the original Qingshui Village. At this time, he encountered the evil thing. A follower was killed on the spot, and Yang Xiucai himself was deprived of his body and part of his three souls and seven souls. If it wasn't for the God of the Land who tried his best to protect him, Yang Xiucai would never have waited for us to meet him."

Went to the outhouse, rummaged up and down, but couldn't find anything more, Lin Tianci continued:
"The evil creature returned to the Tang family in the form of Yang Xiucai. Because of Yang Xiucai's memory, he could perfectly imitate some of his little habits, so the Tang family couldn't see any flaws, and had no idea that he had been dropped. And this fake Yang Xiucai did two things when he returned to the Tang family. One was to secretly poison the old lady and the dying old man of the Tang family to death, and the other was to rummage through the warehouse of the Tang family all day, intending to find something. But Before he could find any results, we closed the door."

The process is almost as Lin Tianci guessed, as for why he poisoned and what he was looking for...
"The conditions are unknown, and I can't really figure it out, so I can only make a bold guess."

Lin Tianci said:

"The thing that the evil thing is looking for is probably related to Yang Xiucai's mother, and because Yang Xiucai probably doesn't know that his mother is a monk, so he doesn't know the exact location of the thing, but since his mother put him in Tang Dynasty I must have a good relationship with the two elders of the Tang family. The evil thing is poisoned because I am afraid that the second elder will see some flaws after a long time, or that the second elder has a way to contact his mother. It will be very troublesome when the old lady comes back. That's why he secretly poisoned the two elders of the Tang family to death, so as to avoid any worries. At the same time, even if Yang Xiucai didn't know the exact location of the things, the second elders of the Tang family might help keep them temporarily because they had a good relationship with Yang Xiucai's mother. Evil things will run around in the warehouse all day long."

This information was heard from two gossip maids when they sneaked into Tang's house before, so they can make such an inference.

Seeing that there was nothing to search in the hut, Lin Tianci happily left the hut, stood in front of the door and said:

"Unfortunately, that guy found the wrong place. What Yang Xiucai's mother left behind in the Tang family was not what he was looking for, but clues and keys."

"Clues and keys?"

Linglong thought for a while, then she had a flash of inspiration and said:

"It's that painting and the two golden hairpins!"

"Yes, that's right."

That painting refers to the painting of plum blossoms hanging in the center of the back hall of the Tang family. When Miss Tang gave the golden hairpin to Lin Tianci, she also said that it was Yang Xiucai's mother's relic, plus the golden hairpin in Yang Xiucai's hand. , exactly two.

An important reason to notice these things as clues and keys is just coincidence.

The painting depicts plum blossoms, and the nobile hairpin is also in the shape of plum blossoms. Most importantly, there are two rows of plum blossom trees planted in front of Yang Xiucai's former residence.

Such a coincidence can no longer be described as a coincidence, it is simply a statement.

It's a pity that Yang Xiucai didn't think about it at all. The possessed demon has his memory and habits, and Yang Xiucai's inertial thinking caused him to not think about it. place.

The only person who may know that there is an article in it is probably the second elder of the Tang family. Unfortunately, the second elder has been poisoned to death by the possessing demon.

"The plum blossom tree in that painting is the location of the treasure, and the gold hairpin is the key, and the plum blossom tree is in front of Yang Xiucai's former residence."

Linglong added:

"The plum tree in that painting is so ugly, it must be easy to find."

It seems that in terms of aesthetic style, Linglong and Lin Tianci are also very compatible, and he also thinks that the plum tree in the painting is ugly.

There were about a dozen plum blossom trees planted in front of Yang Xiucai's former residence, not too many. Lin Tianci and Linglong looked around and found a plum blossom tree similar to the one in the painting in memory.

Lin Tianci took out the two gold hairpins, looked up and down the target plum blossom tree, and finally found clues in the branches near the trunk.

There were exactly two dead and moth-eaten branches there, which looked ordinary at first glance, but the size and depth of the holes were consistent with nobile.

There is nothing to say about such a clear clue. Lin Tianci directly inserted the gold hairpin into the branch of the plum tree, and saw a layer of spiritual light on the trunk at the height of his waist. With a click, the bark fell off in response, revealing Wet wood inside.

Lin Tianci looked down, but he didn't find the hidden compartment. He reached out to touch it, and a round piece of wood fell from the tree trunk.

No more, that's all...

Lin Tianci & Linglong: "..."
