The old man still looked at Xie Yuanheng with a strangely gratifying look, until Xie Yuanheng was terrified by his staring, and then slowly stared at him, Xie Yuanheng asked, "Young man, do you know Gu?"

Xie Yuanheng didn't know why, but his heart was suddenly filled with vigilance, and he shook his head cautiously, frowning.

The old man nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly laughed, "Okay, okay, very good."

After laughing, he raised his head, "Then you know, the Gu in my southern border takes the form of medicine and the marrow of witches, the most sinister and poisonous, can fall into the underworld in a poor green, immortal, and more eternal than your soul ?"

Xie Yuanheng frowned, feeling that this kind of poison really cannot be called "meaningful".

"You don't understand." The old man sighed pretentiously, but the corners of his eyes were full of joy, "You people don't know that every Gu planted has its own taste."

The old man bent his mouth and took a deep breath with an extremely strange expression, "You have the smell of my Gu on you."

Xie Yuanheng's pupils shrank.

"Pharmaceutical Gu is not as powerful as Witch Gu, but once it is used, it will have the smell of Gu and penetrate into the soul of a person. Don't recognize the second master, a Gu master, no matter how clever he is, can't move other people's Gu. Dark Gu has no form, and even the taste, only the master who raises it and uses it knows."

The old man snorted coldly, "It's also thanks to the loyalty of these little things. The one who saved you, even if he is so clever, can't tell that you have fallen into my Gu? But this person is really arrogant. , is it expected that no one can use other things to suppress it?"

"Holding the soul." The old man chewed these two words carefully, "This is a secret technique, a good thing." The old man raised his eyes and stared at Xie Yuanheng and scanned it, "No wonder people who dare to use Ming Gu, who can use this Gu I'm afraid I won't be able to find the second one, I didn't expect that an old man like me would still see the rumored death-twisting witch Gu when I came to a dead end."

Xie Yuanheng listened in a daze, and could only vaguely catch the information that this person had bewitched him.But... Gu?Those mysterious witchcrafts in southern Xinjiang?Leaving aside how authentic this thing is, he has never seen this person before, so how did he do it?

The old man sighed for himself, then turned his eyes to look at Xie Yuanheng, "Didn't you ask me why I wanted you?" The old man stared at him maliciously and smiled, "Because I never thought that people who fell into this Gu Humans are still alive.”

"But..." The old man lowered his voice, smiled meaningfully, and said maliciously, "I'm afraid, life would be better than death, right?"

Xie Yuanheng's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly wanted to catch something, but before he could think about it carefully, it disappeared without a trace, and he didn't catch anything.

Xie Yuanheng stared at the old man intently, trying to find out why, but the old man lay idle in the corner, refusing to say anything.

……

Yang Qian inquired around in the west of the city, and finally heard about the farce in the afternoon from the mouths of a few people who came back from the yamen after watching the excitement, and his face darkened instantly.

Turning back to the clinic and speaking to the young man, Yang Qian rushed to the yamen immediately and asked someone to ask, as expected, Xie Yuanheng hadn't had time to leave.

Yang Qian was about to go in to find someone, but when he arrived at the door of the cell, he saw Xie Yuanheng coming out frowning, with doubts and hidden worries that hadn't dissipated in time.

This person was too preoccupied with what he was thinking, and passed by him without seeing him.Yang Qian stretched out his hand and tugged at his sleeve the moment he brushed against him, Xie Yuanheng casually turned his head to see who was pulling him, and saw Yang Qian looking at him with an unhappy face.

Xie Yuanheng was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. Seeing Yang Qian's face, he thought he was angry that he hadn't seen him just now, so he patted his hand comfortingly, "I encountered a strange thing today, I just thought about it for a while. God, I didn’t know you would come here, so I didn’t see you, don’t be angry.”

Yang Qian accepted his gentle action, and calmed down a little, "I know, I heard about it before I came here, I still have something to ask the doctor, do you want to come with me?"

Xie Yuanheng hesitated for a moment, and his brows frowned even deeper, "I just met him. The man was a little weird. He said he wanted to see me, but what he said in the past was so cloudy that people couldn't figure it out. Now it seems that he has completely disappeared again. , I'm afraid you won't see him yet."

Yang Qian's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, "He wants to see you?"

Xie Yuanheng glanced around a few times, then nodded cautiously, "Yeah. This person is very strange. From what he means, he may be from southern Xinjiang. It's not appropriate to say more here. I'll tell you when I get home."

……

When Yang Qian first heard Xie Yuanheng's retelling, he felt goose bumps all over his body.Xie Yuanheng couldn't understand the man's beating around the bush, but he knew it very well.

At the beginning, he ventured to ask that strange man to use the secret technique to save others, which was called "soul arrest."

Yang Qian was caught off guard when he heard the words and phrases from the tip of the iceberg, and felt his scalp go numb all of a sudden, and even the half-pack of medicine powder in the cuff was hot to his hands.

Yang Qian didn't know if Xie Yuanheng could remember what happened back then, and if he didn't remember, would he feel astonished at first hearing about it, or felt that he was talking nonsense.Yang Qian's mind was in a mess, and all kinds of things rolled to his lips, but he was suppressed again abruptly.

Xie Yuanheng didn't know at all that Yang Qian had contact with these mysterious witches. While talking, he was still thinking about how these things were related to him. After thinking hard for a long time, he still didn't understand. His intuition made him restless.

Xie Yuanheng didn't want to drag Yang Qian into such a mysterious muddy water, pretending to be indifferent, "He might be a mysterious person, maybe he's just a charlatan who kills people, don't take it to heart. What happened today It's strange, it doesn't make any sense for the prince to ask me to go out for a stroll. I looked at him as if he knew it. Maybe he deliberately let me bump into it. Maybe there is something on his mind here, but I am also counting on him now. Man, even if he has no good intentions, he probably won't do too much. I've been paying attention to his movements recently, and I'll just inquire if I have a chance, so don't worry about it with me."

Yang Qian obediently complied, but in his heart he was thinking of going to the clinic again to see if he could get any clues from that young man.

……

Although Xie Yuanheng can't be regarded as completely trusted by the crown prince, he is already considered one of the crown prince's subordinates after all. He knows the power of the crown prince's gangsters well.

Xie Yuanheng was disturbed by the old man who claimed to be a Southern Border Gu master, so he naturally wanted to start with the prince, to see if he could find anything tricky.

It's not easy to ask about things like witchcraft, poison, and so on, so Xie Yuanheng had no choice but to go round and round and make an appointment with the people who are also under the prince's subordinates. In the name of trying to figure out the prince's mind together, he asked if there was anything wrong with the prince recently. people.Once the topic is opened, how to deal with the opponents in the court, or have you ever calculated and dealt with the people who hold the handle, what method is used, what is the best way... All these, as long as anyone who has been in the muddy water of forming a party for selfish interests , Even if I have never done it myself, I have never heard of it. It is inevitable that the words will not be perfect, and there will be leaks.Even if what is exposed is just clues, after listening a lot, you can still make a general idea.

Xie Yuanheng made a lot of inquiries, but found that the crown prince was quite strict about the witchcraft. Few people had heard the rumors. Occasionally, those who had been in contact with him were tricked out by him, and their words were often vague. I only know its power, but I know very little, and I can't tell why.The only thing that is certain is that whenever the prince uses Shang Gu, it is not a small fight that is insignificant, let alone everyone knows about it.Even though the prince is not a kind person, he is not so ignorant, and bad things can be divided into serious and serious. Everyone who is at this level of strife in the court tacitly understands it.But if it's really harmful to nature, it can't be shown in a big way to let people know, even if you try your best, you have to hide it.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Xie Yuanheng, in the spirit of inquiring and asking, has been hanging around with the important people under the prince when he has free time recently. When he finds an opportunity, he has to put on a set. He can't wait to stick his ears all the time. .

Today, Xie Yuanheng and Liu She went together and asked someone who was especially valued by the prince's subordinates to listen to the music and drink.Qu'er heard half of it, but was hurriedly approached by that person's subordinates. I don't know what the subordinates were whispering in that person's ear. I hurried out.

Liu She walked to the window, opened the window and stared at the street for a while, then squinted his eyes and sat back beside Xie Yuanheng. The old god poured him a glass of wine, and said maliciously, "I watched Mr. Zheng go away. In the direction of the city, [-]% of them are going west of the city."

Xie Yuanheng glanced at him inexplicably, but didn't take the wine, he picked up a snack on the table and chewed it in his mouth, which was a polite rejection of the glass of wine he poured.

Liu She was not annoyed, he carried the jug back by himself, leaned leisurely on the chair, sighed pretendingly, moved closer to Xie Yuanheng, and said in a low voice, "My son may not know, but Vice General Yang has been busy recently. I don’t know what I’m looking for, not only always going to the prince’s place, but also running to the west of the city every day..."

Liu She stared at Xie Yuanheng's expression, saw his expression change as he wished, and continued to slowly continue with the last sentence, "I went again today."

Xie Yuanheng turned his head and took a deep look at Liu She, who accepted it indifferently, with a gentle smile.

For such a long time, Xie Yuanheng has also figured out this person's temperament of fearing that the world will not be chaotic. He knew that although he was happy to watch people lively, he was not a person who talked nonsense. He took a sip of the wine he poured for himself just now, stared at He said, "It seems that I have to thank Brother Qingxi for reminding me."

Liu Qingxi waved her hands, bent her eyes and smiled meaningfully. She looked impolite, but her eyes were full of eagerness to watch a good show. I'm afraid she almost said "I'm waiting to see the show".

Xie Yuanheng ignored him, got up and went out to the west of the city.
