The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Chapter 519 Behavior Copy

"What is hypnosis?" Chu Yuanxi asked in confusion. Xiao Mubei had never heard of it.

"Hypnosis is a method of psychological suggestion that makes people enter a fantasy-like state, that is, a situation created by a hypnotist, so that they obey the hypnotist's instructions. But, are there any hypnotists now?" Chu Yunxi muttered the last sentence, and the other three people did not hear it clearly.

You have to know that hypnosis involves the field of psychology. Even in modern times, it is still a rare knowledge. Did anyone in ancient times really know it? Chu Yunxi was not sure, but she thought that the world was so big that there were all kinds of things. If it really existed, it was not completely impossible. Why not look into this aspect?

Chu Yunxi was thinking, and suddenly heard Han Zhener say: "No, there is another way to do this."

Seeing that several people were looking at her, Han Zhener blushed a little, but she still said, "Gu, the Gu from Southern Xinjiang."

Chu Yunxi slapped her thigh fiercely. That's right, how could she have forgotten this? To seduce people's hearts, this saying has existed since ancient times. She had also encountered people who were killed by remotely controlled Gu before, and Xiao Mubei's mother, Concubine Xian, also died from Gu magic. Why didn't she think of it?

"Bai Yu, quickly find He Lao and Qing Mei."

Speaking of which, ever since Mr. He brought Erniu to the capital, he was unwilling to live in the Dingbei Palace and be restricted, so Chu Yunxi bought a small courtyard for them not far from the palace. Now Erniu has gone to school.

However, Chu Yunxi, the person he wanted to inherit his skills, was too busy to learn the art of witchcraft. On the contrary, Qingmei would stay in He Lao's courtyard every day whenever she was in the capital, observing the poisonous insects and asking all kinds of questions. Over time, she had learned most of He Lao's skills.

Mr. He also gradually accepted this studious girl. From being unwilling to teach in the beginning to teaching her everything now, he seemed to have treated Qingmei as his successor.

After dinner, He Lao and Qing Mei came. After listening to Chu Yunxi's story, He Lao nodded and said, "Yes, there is indeed a kind of Gu that can control the mind of the person who is poisoned. But from what you said, the person who cast the Gu should not have controlled the mind of this adult, but only his actions."

"Just controlling the actions?" Chu Yunxi asked back.

Mr. He said to Qingmei, "Come and explain this to the princess."

Qingmei then said, "The God-Eating Gu can control a person's mind, but it is very difficult to raise, and one needs to feed it with one's own body, so that the insect can act according to the will of the raiser. The person who is infected with the Gu will also go through a process, and his temperament will gradually change drastically, becoming a completely different person."

Chu Yunxi pondered, "According to the many confessions obtained by Li Shaoqing, Li Ruixian did not have any abnormal behavior before this, so he should not have been infected by this God Devouring Gu."

Qingmei nodded, "So Master said that he was infected with another kind of Gu, which can only control the actions of the person who is infected. In short, it makes the person who is infected lose his mind, and then act according to the actions of the person who cast the Gu. The person who is infected will do whatever the person who casts the Gu does."

"Behavior replication?" Chu Yunxi understood. "That is to say, when Li Ruixian stabbed himself, the caster was also stabbing himself, or doing the same action, right?"

Qingmei gave Chu Yunxi a thumbs up. "Right, that's right. The person who cast the poison may have something else, such as a wooden stick. Wherever he stabs himself, the person who is poisoned will stab there. The wooden stick cannot penetrate the body, but a dagger can. That's why the deceased will keep stabbing himself."

Chu Yunxi thought of the pinhole on Li Ruixian's head and asked, "How long does it take for this kind of poison to be effective? Do we need to control the mind of the person who is poisoned first?"

"This kind of Gu has a very short lifespan. Once it enters a person's body, it can only control the person for two hours. Moreover, the person who is infected must lose his mind in advance, which is very troublesome. Therefore, many people will not use it. Only some beginners will refine this low-level Gu." This time it was Old He who said this, and he was obviously very disdainful of this kind of Gu.

"For beginners, then can we also give it to those who don't know anything about Gu and just teach them how to use it?" Chu Yunxi asked.

Qingmei replied, "That's right."

"I see." Chu Yunxi had a rough idea in her mind, and she asked again: "If the person who was poisoned dies, will the poisonous insect die with him?"

"Yes, the Gu worm dies with the host, and its body will remain in the host's body, usually in the brain, because it is necessary to issue commands in the brain to control the body of the infected person."

Chu Yunxi now understood completely. She thought about it and looked at Xiao Mubei. Xiao Mubei immediately knew what she wanted to do. He sighed and said, "Let's go. I'll accompany you."

Chu Yuanxi had been listening the whole time. When he heard what Xiao Mubei said, he instantly realized what Chu Yunxi was going to do. He immediately stood up to stop her. "It's so late. Can't we go tomorrow?"

Chu Yunxi pulled his arm and shook him, "Brother, if I don't figure it out tonight, I won't be able to sleep, and I'll be even less energetic tomorrow. I'll be quick, and it will be done in an hour at most. Then you can come back and sleep peacefully. At worst, you can just get up a little later tomorrow morning."

Chu Yuanxi has always been unable to resist his sister's coquetry. He knew that he couldn't stop her, so he had to say, "Then I'll go with you. The prince's injury hasn't healed yet, let him rest early."

"Okay, Your Highness. Then you should have a good rest and wait for me at the palace." Seeing that her elder brother had agreed, Chu Yunxi naturally could not care about Xiao Mubei. After she finished speaking, she immediately ran out, fearing that Chu Yuanxi would go back on his word.

Xiao Mubei uttered "Ah", Chu Yunxi had already run far away, and Chu Yuanxi told Han Zhener to go back to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion first, and then he chased after Chu Yunxi. Xiao Mubei muttered in frustration, "But I can't sleep either..."

Qingmei was laughing beside him. He Lao glared at her and she immediately frowned and stopped smiling. He Lao coughed lightly and said, "Since there is nothing else, I will take my leave first. Your Majesty, please rest early."

After that, he bowed to Xiao Mubei and left. Qingmei also bowed hurriedly and followed He Lao. In the blink of an eye, everyone in the flower hall had left. Bai Yu also consciously followed Chu Yunxi. Only Hei Mu came in from outside and said very tactlessly: "Your Majesty, go back and rest."

Xiao Mubei raised his eyes to look at him, "Hei Mu, have you not practiced martial arts for a long time?"

Hei Mu didn't know what Xiao Mubei meant, but he answered honestly, "I practice for an hour every morning."

Xiao Mubei was a little annoyed and said, "One hour is not enough. Let's go back to Xiaoyueju to practice martial arts. I will supervise you."
