I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 318: Bullying the Master and Destroying the Ancestor
The Purple Cloud Vine withered, and the disciples in the sect turned into ice sculptures inexplicably. They even invited famous doctors and masters from all over the world, which shows that the crisis is difficult to solve.

But even though [Ziyun Valley] tried its best, the crisis has spread crazily in the past few months, and now it is on the verge of collapse, with no medicine or stone working.

And now, the detective from Daxing appears.

It took half an hour to spot something fishy, ​​and one needle to find out the name of the poison. In less than half a day, the method, puzzle, and murderer... were all solved.

Are you sure you're not kidding?

"This is quite slow." Pan Daxi on the side, but he had blind trust in Cao An: "A normal case can take up to two hours. If we weren't unfamiliar with the place and wanted to see something new, we wouldn't have spent so much time. "

Crazy, so crazy that there is no limit.

Especially Cao An stood aside, looking like it was natural and had no idea of ​​​​refuting.

"So confident?"

"Of course, this is not a very simple case."

Once interests outweigh feelings, this loyalty may be shaken.

Dongzhou is different from Daxing.

"what is the problem?"

Simple? So what are these people here to do?

In such a desperate situation, can you really fulfill your duties and not leak any information?

unreasonable.

"Is such loyalty reasonable?"

Disciples who are direct disciples are treated well, and the elders' personal teachings through words and deeds may be able to retain the disciples' hearts.

But ordinary inner disciples cannot guarantee 100% loyalty!

Therefore, when Cao An saw this situation, he immediately concluded that in addition to loyalty, the disciples were also subject to checks and balances.

Daxing is a complete dynasty that emphasizes "the king is the king", but even though Emperor Wan Jing organized people to promote loyalty every day, there were still a lot of rebellions and troubles.

"A matter of loyalty."

Cao An is not from Dongzhou and does not shy away from such topics.

"Master Miaoqing Valley, is it the "Purple Cloud Seed" you mentioned, right?
"You can save your disciple's life in times of crisis, and you can also control your disciple's life at all times."

Dongzhou, on the other hand, is composed of countless sects. They do not cultivate dead warriors, but disciples, and their loyalty is entirely supported by emotion.

"Actually, in the final analysis, you should have seen the problem, but no one has looked into it deeply. I am from Daxing, so I felt something was wrong the first time."

"Separated by just a curtain of water, for several months, only a few rumors were spread, and even [Qiansi Mansion] had to come here to investigate in person.

“But [Ziyun Valley] is incredibly united!

"Thousands of inner disciples are willing to defend this territory. Even if they turn into ice sculptures and even if the fairy vines wither, you have never changed your mind.

Everyone murmured secretly in their hearts.

Everyone:...

Cao An's question was met with silence from Miao Qing and other elders, which could be considered a disguised acquiescence in Cao An's guess.

Is this a despicable method?
Different people have different opinions.

After all, in this world, survival of the fittest is a two-way choice in itself.

The "Purple Cloud True Qi" that Shanmen is proud of has the "Purple Cloud Seed" as a prerequisite. If you select disciples with extraordinary talents and plant them, Shanmen will focus on cultivating them and even save your life in critical moments. These It’s all the teacher’s contribution to you.

The price is that you must be loyal to your master.

Of course, you don’t have to accept it.

Choose to hang out in the outer sect for a lifetime and rely on your contributions in exchange for practicing some other techniques, or simply switch to another sect. This is the rule of [Ziyun Valley].

"But even so, what problem can it explain?" Sima Shu asked on the side.

As an intelligence organization, he has seen many such methods of controlling loyalty.

Compared to the Daxing Dynasty, which used poison, blood curses, relatives and other conditions to cultivate dead soldiers, [Ziyun Valley]'s method is much gentler.

I just hope that after giving, the disciples can respect their master and respect their teachings. This is the tradition of Dongzhou, and many people are willing to accept it.

Even if you regret it, you can apply to take out the seeds, abolish your "Purple Cloud Qi" and leave.

The disciples present were really coerced, but at least there was some sincerity.

Is this situation considered a crisis?

"Of course it's a crisis, because some of these disciples had different intentions and brought trouble into [Purple Cloud Valley]."

"What kind of trouble can cause such big consequences?"

"Someone poisoned the stamens." Cao An's words made everyone in [Ziyun Valley] look ugly.

The entire sect relies on "Purple Cloud Flowers" to operate. Honey collection, elixir refining, and cultivation... are all inseparable from these flowers.

Even the "Purple Cloud True Qi" they practice requires the help of flower pistil essence. Unknowingly, those [Cold Ling Devouring Yuan Sand] will enter the body and kill people invisible.

"But if according to what Detective Cao said, someone poisoned the flower stamens, there is no reason why there are so many of us disciples that we can't see it." Elder Dingyun asked doubtfully.

Cao An patted the withered vines beside his hand: "You didn't notice it because the poisoning method was quite special."

"Who did it?"

"Not human beings, but butterflies and bees, a group of cute little creatures who love flowers."

Cao An smiled and told a terrible story.

Once upon a time in the Western Region, there was also a group of villains who controlled birds and beasts and dropped poisonous corpses into the demon clan, thus triggering the demon clan's near-annihilation crisis.

"For the same reason, the traitor here controls some kind of nectar-gathering insect and injects poison into our flower stamens."

Cao An said that this case was simple because similar poisoning cases in the Western Region had been over long ago and all traces were gone, so he could only try one by one through the elimination method.

But in front of us, the poisoning was still going on, and it was obvious where the problem lay. Comparing the two, the case here was naturally easier. .

Even if a person jumps up and down, it is impossible to walk through such a dense route.

Therefore, the murderer's trajectory he saw actually included poisoned insects, which were swimming among the flowers, thus showing countless intersecting trajectories.

……

The foundation of Ziyun Valley is an immortal "Purple Cloud Vine".

It can be said that the purple cloud flowers all over the mountains and plains are reproduced by fairy vines.

The original intention of those improved [Han Ling Devouring Essence Sand] is to destroy the fairy vine. After the toxin is injected into the stamens, it will penetrate crazily towards the roots and stems, causing the fairy vine to wither.

As for the frozen disciples, it can only be regarded as unlucky. They absorbed the essence of Purple Cloud Flower and practiced before the poison penetrated completely, and were accidentally injured.

Unable to find the traitor, [Purple Cloud Valley]'s efforts could not keep up with the speed of destruction.

"What a bastard!" Master Miaoqing Valley let out a low voice, evil aura overflowing from his beautiful eyes.

"If someone wants to leave, just take out the "Purple Cloud Seed". I will never force others to do anything, so why do you want to harm me [Purple Cloud Valley]!" "

"This question is very simple, because those who want to leave don't want their seeds to be taken out!"

Cao An said, looking at Tan Mian aside: "Am I right? Brother Tan who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors?"
