The item was obtained during my last trip to the ancient martial arts world.
She had been away alone for over an hour when she came to the Gu family's house.
First, he checked on Old Master Gu's illness and, after confirming that his life was not in immediate danger, he left. He also went to Gu Xiyuan's bedroom next door.
Then these things were found.
It was actually quite well hidden, with several restrictions set up, but it was precisely because of these restrictions that it became even more conspicuous to Qin Sheng.
They simply took the item away, and afterwards, they even thoughtfully restored the restriction to its original state.
As for why we chose to bring it up at this time...
The sound of something falling to the ground broke the tranquility of the room and also disrupted Gu Xi's previously composed mind.
The sound of the object hitting the ground was like flipping a switch; one sound followed another, and then yet another, until they all rang out in a continuous chorus.
Gu Xiyuan kept counting, one, two, three, four... When he reached the 112th count, his legs went weak, and he finally collapsed into the chair behind him.
One hundred and twelve sounds meant that one hundred and twelve people had fallen, in addition to the eight people whose limbs had been dismembered by Qin Sheng earlier...
In other words, all 120 men he had deployed in the main courtyard of his home were wiped out!
Several more thuds followed.
They were his personal subordinates and Gu Zhongyuan, who had come with him.
Everyone collapsed.
At this moment, Gu Xiyuan belatedly realized that a chill was rising from his dantian, slowly freezing the spiritual power flowing in his body, and continuing to spread to his limbs and bones, even chilling his heart.
"How...could this be?"
Gu Xiyuan murmured to himself, unable to believe what had happened.
He suddenly looked up, as if struck by a thought.
His gaze swept over Gu Yueming, Gu Beiyuan, Gu Changxuan, Gu Yanping... and finally landed on Qin Sheng.
"It's you?!"
Qin Sheng glanced at him and nodded casually: "Then it's me."
Gu Xiyuan was so angry he almost spat out blood.
What does "That must be her" mean?
Yes, yes, why does it seem like you're being reluctant?!
Qin Sheng was quite reluctant; it was just too complicated to explain.
However, she didn't explain. Ye Fu, who had already figured it out, glanced at Gu Xiyuan with some sympathy and added, "It is indeed her, but the real culprit is yourself."
Gu Xiyuan was stunned.
What's the meaning?
The man was almost beyond saving, and Ye Fu felt that he should at least die knowing why.
So he got up and walked to the table in the center of the room, lifted the incense burner that was placed in the middle, and said, "Is the incense in this burner made of sandalwood?"
Spirit sandalwood is a unique tree in the ancient martial arts world. Because of its scarcity and excellent healing effects, most of it is made into spices and supplied to the major families in the world.
Because of its high price, only major families can afford it.
Ye Fu was already surprised when he came in. He didn't expect that Gu Xiyuan would be willing to use this thing for Gu Dongyuan. Moreover, just by smelling the strong scent in the courtyard, he knew that the sandalwood incense had probably been burning continuously.
At that point, he was no longer sure if the news he had heard before was true.
Are the Gu brothers actually very harmonious?
He only realized what was happening after seeing Qin Sheng's subtle actions.
Actually, besides the sandalwood incense, there is another scent in the air of this room, very faint and inconspicuous. Unless one has an exceptional sense of smell or is deliberately paying attention, it is difficult for the average person to notice.
At least he didn't notice it at first.
That was the scent of bamboo.
Like the Spirit Sandalwood, the Dark Bamboo is also a plant unique to the ancient martial arts world, but their effects are exactly opposite.
Bamboo can reduce the activity of various bodily functions.
For normal people, smelling it too much will actually make them feel drowsy.
However, for someone like Gu Dongyuan who already had internal injuries that had not healed for many years, it was extremely dangerous.
It can make wounds harder to heal and may even cause them to worsen.
Ye Fu guessed that Gu Xiyuan just didn't want to be accused of being a brother-lover, so he alternated between the two kinds of incense. When there were people around, he would burn the sandalwood incense, and when there were no people around, he would burn the bamboo incense. But recently, for some reason, he only burned the sandalwood incense.
It's been at least a month.
This is why the scent of sandalwood in the courtyard is so strong, while the scent of bamboo is almost imperceptible.
Ye Fu pulled himself out of his thoughts and continued to look at Gu Xiyuan with sympathy, saying, "You know that spirit sandalwood can heal injuries and dark bamboo can delay the healing of injuries, but do you know what would happen if you mixed summer-dried grass into spirit sandalwood and dark bamboo?"
Gu Xiyuan felt a chill run down his spine and subconsciously asked, "What will happen?"
This time, it was Qin Sheng who answered.
She glanced at Gu Xiyuan and said, "You'll end up like you."
Gu Xiyuan: "..."
“When the three are combined, they will generate the Dry Cold Poison,” Qin Sheng continued, adding, “The Dry Cold Poison has a particularly pronounced effect on cultivators.”
She took a small handful of selfheal from her pocket and casually tossed it into the incense burner where sandalwood incense was still burning, repeating in a light voice, "It's me, isn't it?"
It was indeed because she threw a handful of Prunella vulgaris into the incense burner that Gu Xiyuan and his men were poisoned by the withering cold poison.
So, it's her, right?
Gu Yueming and the others were stunned for a moment, but when they came to their senses, they couldn't help but want to burst into laughter.
This is what you call it? This is what you call deserved!
It is true that Qin Sheng planted the selfheal.
But if Gu Xiyuan hadn't harmed people and tried to cover it up by burning two kinds of incense alternately, there wouldn't have been residues of both kinds of incense in their bodies at the same time.
Then you're even less likely to be poisoned by a common herb like Prunella vulgaris and become unable to move!
This is what they call harming others and ultimately harming yourself!
Serves you right!
Gu Xiyuan was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly collapsed to the ground.
Gu Yanping and Gu Changxuan finally came to their senses from this series of changes and immediately called for reinforcements and began to take action.
They brought Gu Xiyuan and his men under control in the shortest possible time.
The main courtyard of the family had a special dungeon. The two of them directly separated the more than one hundred people and imprisoned them in the dungeon, and also sent their own people to guard the dungeon firmly.
The room became much quieter once only our own people were left.
Qin Zheng frowned slightly and looked at his daughter with some hesitation: "Won't it cause trouble if we lock him up now?"
Of course, there are troubles.
But this little trouble is nothing compared to the troubles Qin Sheng just realized.
She looked back at Qin Zheng and said, "Actually, I asked Teacher Wen for a month's leave."
Qin Zheng: "???"
Why did the topic jump around so quickly?
Qin Sheng continued, "I originally planned to bring you to the Gu family for a month, but now the situation has changed."
She lifted her eyelids and continued, "The Gu family has people from Black Prison."
