Prince of Prey's Little Ginseng Extract [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 65

"What's going on here?" Jiang Ling asked, pointing in the direction of the boulder.

"Someone has been sent to see it."

The location of the boulder is very ingenious, just at a corner, and it is also the place where the convoy must pass. After turning down the mountain, you can see it at a glance.

At the beginning, no one found anything wrong. They used to walk this road every time they came here. Even before today, they sent people to check along the road, but they didn’t find any problems. But when they got here, there were boulders and red ants on the boulders.

Why did they know it was ants, because the boulder was not far from their position, the ants were big, and those with better eyesight could see them directly.

The guards sent to check the boulder came back soon, and they did not find any human traces around the boulder, and the red ants only gathered on the boulder, and there were no other places.

So many people saw it with their own eyes, it was impossible for Emperor Chongming to let it go.

"Come on, go and deal with those things to me!"

Just as the guards were about to take orders, the previous group of people who had gone to investigate the boulder suddenly fell down without any warning.

"what happened?"

"Why did you faint? Is it because of that boulder?"

"This is a warning from the heavens. If you disrespect the gods, you will be punished!"

In the crowd, this completely different voice was very abrupt and harsh.

"Is there really a god in this world?" The Ninth Prince silently approached Jiang Ling and the prince, and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Ling withdrew her gaze: "Even if there is, it won't hurt people easily."

"If it's not a god, then it's an evil spirit?" The Ninth Prince couldn't help but think of the strange crying sound that he encountered in the palace, "Would it be related to the affairs of the palace?"

"Those red ants are weird." With the recovery of his soul, Jiang Ling could feel the breath of nature, and those red ants gave him a strange feeling.

"It must be weird, I've never seen a red ant this big." The Ninth Prince agreed very much.

People can't just stay here, worrying that the boulders and ants will cause harm to the human body, Emperor Chongming ordered everyone to retreat and stay away from where the boulders are.

The crowd gradually receded, Jiang Ling glanced casually, narrowed her eyes slightly: "Your Highness, there seems to be someone over there."

In the other direction of the boulder, the shadows of the trees swayed, revealing a few figures faintly.

Under Xiao Chengyun's order, the prince's guard carefully sneaked over.

After a while, he came back with a few mountain men dressed as peasants.

"Your Highness, my subordinate saw them lying on the ground furtively over there, not knowing what they were doing."

There were three people who were caught back. Seeing the guard holding a sharp sword, their faces turned pale with fright.

"We, we don't know anything, please spare your life!"

"I beg your lord to spare your life!"

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Shengyun condescended to look at the few people, his tone slightly cold.

"We, we are here to cut firewood on the mountain. We saw an extra rock over there, and we want to see what's going on." One of them replied.

"You used to come here often?"

"I don't come often. We live on the other side of the mountain. We occasionally come here to cut firewood or hunt. The last time I came was ten days, no, eight days ago. I remember very clearly that there was no such big rock here. "

After asking a few questions, the answers of these people were all normal. Jiang Ling stood aside without saying a word, and kept her eyes on one of them.

That person was inconspicuous among the three, what caught Jiang Ling's attention was the malice from him, if it was really a mountain villager who had never met them before, why would he carry the malice towards them?

Pulling Xiao Chengyun's sleeve, Xiao Chengyun lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, this person is wrong." Jiang Ling pointed to the leftmost one among the three.

Xiao Shengyun's eyes fell on that person. The person pointed out by Jiang Ling lowered his head and couldn't see the expression on his face. His clothes and attire were similar to those of the other two. If Jiang Ling hadn't suggested it, Xiao Shengyun would have been the same to the three of them. manner.

"Among the three of you, do you know each other? Why are you the only two talking the whole time?"

The two people who had answered the question looked at each other, and looked at the person on the far left, with a momentary bewilderment on their faces: "We don't know him."

It's strange, before they were pointed out, they didn't realize that there was anything wrong with a stranger beside them, as if they subconsciously ignored this person.

Under Xiao Chengyun's signal, the guard gave the man with his head down his sword hilt a look: "Speak."

"Hahaha," the man suddenly let out a hoarse laugh, "Heaven descends into the floating world, disasters will come out, and anyone who disobeys will suffer disasters."

Back and forth, over and over again, this person only had these sixteen words in his mouth.

The other two couldn't help moving away from him, showing fear on their faces: "He, isn't he a lunatic?"

This person's situation is obviously wrong, he has no mind of his own, like a marionette, his every move is planned in advance.

"Your Highness, be careful."

Qi Lie stood in front of Jiang Ling and the crown prince, no matter what his situation was, he could not let him hurt Jiang Ling and the crown prince.

Jiang Ling had never encountered such a situation before, so she frowned and sized up the man who was muttering to herself: "Is he related to the Floating World Sect? If this continues, we can't communicate with each other. Why don't we ask Imperial Physician Zhang to show him his mind first."

The large army had already retreated a certain distance. Seeing that the prince had no objection, a guard went to invite someone.

Emperor Chongming got the news and sent Eunuch Qian who was beside him.

Eunuch Qian bowed to Jiang Ling and the crown prince first: "Your Majesty sent this slave here to tell His Highness that no matter whether this person has anything to do with the Floating World Sect or who is behind it, His Highness must find out. If necessary, the Imperial Guard can be transferred at will. "

The army in Xiao Shengyun's hands was stationed elsewhere. Emperor Chongming wanted to take back the military power in his hands, so naturally he would not allow him to lead people to station in the capital in a grandiose manner. A troop of troops led by the general.

Not only Imperial Physician Zhang came, but also several other Imperial Physicians, and Imperial Physician Zhang took the initiative to explain: "I was afraid that I would not be able to see the problem by myself, so I invited several other imperial physicians to come together."

On the way here, their guards had already roughly described the man's situation. Standing in front of this man, several imperial physicians looked at each other, and they all felt a little tricky.

"How did Ling'er see that there is something wrong with this person?" Xiao Shengyun and Jiang Ling stood aside and asked in a low voice.

"I thought it was strange that he kept his head down and didn't speak, and the other two gave me the feeling that he didn't exist. A living person shouldn't be ignored so thoroughly."

"You're right," Xiao Shengyun recruited the guards who came to arrest people, "what happened when you found people."

"Returning to Your Highness, the three of them were hiding in the grass at that time, and the subordinate brought them back together. After searching around, there were only the three of them in this area."

The guard paused for a moment, and continued: "This subordinate also discovered a strange phenomenon. There is no living thing where these three people appeared."

"No living things, what do you mean?" Jiang Ling asked.

"Under normal circumstances, even if you don't see small animals in the mountains, you can always see small insects on the leaves and hear the sound of insects. But where the subordinates found these three people, they didn't hear any sound."

It's really strange. Jiang Ling grew up in the deep mountains and old forests, so she knows what Jinwei said is normal. If there are no living things around, either they have been driven away by humans, or there is something they are afraid of in that place, which prevents them from approaching. .

Imperial Physician Zhang and several imperial physicians looked at the situation and initially came to a conclusion: "Your Highness, this person should be under control after taking drugs that affect the mind."

After listening to the imperial physician's words, Jiang Ling blurted out: "Like Jiang Yaohua?"

"It's not the same. The medicine on this man pays more attention to controlling the mind. The Chinese medicine practitioner will act according to the instructions of the medicine maker. The medicine in Jiang Shangshu's son will only make him uncontrollable and go crazy from time to time." Imperial Physician Zhang explain.

Jiang Ling told Imperial Physician Zhang what Jin Wei had discovered: "Will the one among him have such an impact?"

"This..." Imperial Physician Zhang hesitated, "I don't know, I need to verify it."

"So, let's take a look at what happened to the ants on that boulder." Xiao Shengyun said.

Jiang Ling: "Yes, a guard went over to investigate the situation just now, and he fainted shortly after returning. I don't know if there is something wrong with the boulder."

Physician Zhang: "I need to go and see."

Jiang Ling: "Is there any danger? A guard fainted before."

Doctor Zhang: "I will pay attention."

Under the guidance of the imperial physician, the guards took protective measures and escorted several imperial physicians to the direction of the boulder.

"Your Highness." Jiang Ling was a little worried.

Fortunately, the guards and several imperial physicians returned safely without any signs of fainting. They brought back some ants and powder from the boulder.

Doctor Zhang pointed to the powder: "These should be the cause of the ants gathering."

The closer you get, the more you can see the difference between the red ants and ordinary ants. They are bigger and more active, eating powder non-stop, and moving their antennae.

"Did someone sprinkle the powder on the boulder, which caused these ants to gather in groups on the boulder?"

"No," Doctor Zhang looked serious, "Ants don't appear on the boulder, but inside the boulder. They eat the boulder and crawl out of the stone, so there are no such ants in other places except that stone, and the minister I suspect that these ants were bred by special methods, I have never seen such ants before, this stone and these ants must be dealt with as soon as possible."

Xiao Shengyun passed the news to Emperor Chongming intact, and Imperial Physician Zhang and several imperial physicians went to see Emperor Chongming together, and after treating several guards who fainted, he became more determined in this opinion.

"How to deal with it? Burn it with fire?" Emperor Chongming frowned tightly.

"They hide in the rocks, and I'm afraid they won't be able to get rid of them with fire alone." Imperial Physician Zhang cupped his hands.

"Can I use insect repellent?" Jiang Ling remembered the big centipede she had seen in Chu Qiao's yard, but she didn't know if Chu Qiao had any medicine that could kill these ants.

Doctor Zhang also thought of his junior brother, and said to Emperor Chongming: "My junior brother is good at this, I will write a book first, and see if my junior brother can find a solution."

Emperor Chongming had no choice but to agree.

Too many people have seen the writing on the boulder. Although Emperor Chongming ordered not to pass it on indiscriminately, more and more people passed it on privately. When Jiang Ling found the Ninth Prince and others among the crowd, they were talking about it.

"It can't really be that the Floating World Sect is making a comeback?" The Ninth Prince has already inquired about a lot about the Floating World Sect, and he doesn't have any good impressions of this organization.

Seeing Jiang Ling, the Ninth Prince stopped what he wanted to say, and came to Jiang Ling: "Brother Jiang, has there been any progress with the prince?"

Others also looked over.
