Chapter 514: The so-called ghost sighting is caused by thick fog
Sui Sui chuckled and said, "Look how cute they are! They perfectly suit my taste. If the money Meibao gave me wasn't enough, I would have bought a few more."
"The emperor has three thousand beauties in his harem, and I only have ten. Oh, Meibao requisitioned one, so there are nine left. Nine is too few. I need to buy at least nine more to make up the Eighteen Arhats."
Yu Lingye: ...
This is difficult to comment on.
It is difficult to evaluate the collection of paper figurines, and it is even more difficult to evaluate the use of paper figurines to fool the emperor.
A paper man that is obviously a fake, the emperor would not be fooled unless he is blind.
Sui Sui put her hands on her hips and said, "Brother-in-law, what do you mean by this? Do you look down on the little cuties in my harem?"
"I'm telling you, Xiaoba is the best. If I hadn't accidentally knocked it over and scratched a hole in it, I wouldn't have been willing to let you use it."
Yu Lingye: Still a flawed paper figure.
He said to Xie Yingmian, "Are you sure this paper figure won't be discovered?"
Xie Yingmian smiled and said, "I believe in Sui Sui."
“It has a way of looking real.”
Hold your head high every year.
Yes, it is awesome.
As the night deepened, the fog grew thicker.
Every household closed their doors and windows tightly and blocked them.
Some people's windows leak badly, and fog seeps into the room.
If you have a cellar at home, hide in the cellar. If you don’t have a cellar, hide in a place with better protection, such as a water tank or grain tank.
Go to Beijing and calm down in a strange posture.
At midnight, the fog reaches its thickest stage.
"How is it?" Xie Yingmian asked hurriedly when he saw Zang Song coming back after bravely doing the experiment.
Zang Song said: "There is nothing unusual."
Fu Mo: "Didn't you see any ghosts?"
Zang Song glanced at Fu Mo and sneered, "Never."
Fu Mo: ...
If there is no, there is no. What does it mean to laugh like that?
Zang Song said, "There was only thick fog on the streets. No ghosts or monsters. Only a few beggars who hadn't had time to hide indoors. They were in strange states, running in place, slapping the air with their hands, or spinning in circles."
"They're more like they're having hysteria than seeing ghosts."
Xie Yingmian's guess was confirmed.
She said to Yu Lingye, "Although I haven't figured out the reason why the fog appeared out of thin air, I should know the truth about the Night of Ten Thousand Ghosts."
"The thick fog contained hallucinogenic drugs. People outside inhaled the drugs and had hallucinations, thinking they had seen a ghost."
"Some people go crazy because they inhale too much and have poor physical fitness, so the hallucinogens invade their brains, causing the brain to be affected by the toxic mist and causing irreversible damage."
"Some people died because they already had underlying diseases and were in very poor physical condition, unable to resist the erosion of the poisonous fog."
"Anyone who comes into contact with the thick fog will become seriously ill, which makes it easier to explain. It would be strange if they didn't get sick after the poisonous fog entered their bodies."
Fu Mo widened his eyes. Is that so?
Was the ghost he encountered that year an illusion?
Was his running also an illusion?
But how do you explain the ghostly light on his body?
Xie Yingmian said, "We have thoroughly analyzed the composition of the thick fog, and it is no longer a problem."
"However, for safety reasons, those who will be operating tonight will first take the antidote and then wear the gas masks I made."
Fu Mo was feeling dizzy.
It's the Ghost Festival, midnight, it's a dark and windy night, and when ghosts are roaming around, the princess and the prince are preparing to go out?
It’s okay to go out.
What's up with this pig-nose-looking headgear?
"Well, Prince, Princess, are you really going? What if the ghosts haven't come out yet?" Fu Mo said stubbornly, "Be safe..."
"If you are afraid, just wait at Prince Ling's Mansion." Xie Yingmian said.
Fu Mo was provoked: "Of course I'm not afraid, I'm a materialist, I believe in science, I'm not afraid of anything..."
The wind blows, bringing a chill.
Fu Mo felt something blowing on the back of his neck, and goose bumps appeared on his body.
He shuddered.
It’s so cold. Is it normal to be so cold in summer?
It must be abnormal.
There must be something behind him blowing air into his neck!
Fu Mo's face turned pale, and he trembled as he muttered, "Demons and ghosts, please leave now..."
He quickly transformed from a timid little weakling into a great and upright young man.
Xie Yingmian couldn't bear to watch.
The weather has turned colder, especially late at night.
Fu Mo is wearing such thin clothes, it would be strange if his neck is not cold.
"Wait at home," Xie Yingmian said. "You've been exposed to poisonous fog before. If your gas mask and antidote are useless, a second invasion could cause irreversible consequences."
"We don't need too many people for this operation, so one less person like you won't be a big deal. Don't hold us back."
Fu Mo: Then he would rather obey than submit.
It's not that he's a coward.
He didn't want to be a drag, he just wanted to be a good backup. If the prince gave a signal, he would definitely rush over in the shortest time possible.
The streets of the entire Shangjing City were empty.
All I could see was a thick grayish-white fog.
The fog is getting thicker.
Every household lit a white lantern, the candles in the lanterns still extinguished, swaying in the night wind, the only light swallowed up by the thick fog.
The moonlight was also tightly covered by the thick fog, without a trace of light.
Visibility in the dense fog was less than one meter.
Yu Lingye and Xie Yingmian only brought Yan Qingzang Song Tianjia and three others.
After several people arrived at Lu Mansion wearing gas masks, Tianjia had already determined the deployment of the secret guards.
Xie Yingmian asked Tianjia and Zangsong to throw out the smoke bombs they had prepared.
The smoke bomb was soon covered by thick fog, and the medicine she made was covered by the pungent smell and blended perfectly into the fog.
Compared to the hallucinogenic drugs in the thick fog, the smoke ammunition made by Xie Yingmian is extremely effective.
For thick fog to achieve a hallucinogenic effect, it needs to reach a certain concentration.
For example, people walking outdoors are prone to hallucinations due to excessive inhalation and may experience the so-called Night of Ten Thousand Ghosts.
As long as you stay indoors, there will be no abnormalities.
This is because the concentration indoors is low. Even if thick fog seeps into the house through the window, the concentration is not enough to cause hallucinations.
However, if the indoor windows are broken or there are air leaks everywhere, and the concentration reaches a certain level, people will still be affected indoors.
Smoke bombs are different.
Just a little bit of smoke bomb inhalation will make you fall asleep.
The windows of this era were not well sealed, and smoke bombs could penetrate through any hole.
Plus the thick fog provides perfect cover.
Soon, the secret guards hiding everywhere fell into a coma.
Tianjia is exploring the way ahead.
After confirming that everything was correct, he gestured to Xie Yingmian and others.
The group went to the Lu family's secret room.
With Yan Qing around, the secret room mechanism was quickly unlocked.
The secret room was empty except for a coffin.
The breath of Kongshi can be faintly detected in the coffin.
When Xie Yingmian was about to approach the coffin, Yan Qing blocked her.
Yan Qing looked around: "There are mechanisms around this coffin, many mechanisms."
"The trap is very clever. If you get close, you'll definitely die. I'll unlock it first."
Death is undoubtedly for others.
For him, this little bit of mechanical engineering was not a problem.
Yan Qing took about a cup of tea to unlock the mechanism outside the coffin.
When he wanted to open the coffin, his expression changed slightly.
