"The poison of arrow frogs," Shangguan Xiu had never heard of this kind of poison and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Arrow frog poison, as the name suggests, comes from dart frogs.
The dart frog is an extremely rare frog.
It is not large in size, but the toxins it secretes are the most poisonous among all.
When the dart frog senses danger, it will spray venom outwards.
Even an elephant will be poisoned by its venom.
Just one drop of dart frog venom can kill ten adults.
This shows that its venom is poisonous.
Very toxic, The most terrible thing is that the dart frog poison does not need to enter the body to take effect.
It only needs to touch the surface of the skin to penetrate the skin and enter the body.
The two maids just touched the poisonous blood expelled from Shangguan Xiu's body, and they were both poisoned to death.
It was through this characteristic that the saint suddenly thought of the poison of the dart frog.
According to the description of the pharmacopoeia in her hand, the poison of the dart frog is colorless and odorless, and there is no cure.
To be precise, poisoning will kill you immediately, and there is no time to detoxify.
After a person dies from poisoning, he usually bleeds from the seven orifices and the skin appears... dark black, The symptoms described in the pharmacopoeia are exactly the same as the death of the two maids.
Now, the saint can basically conclude that the poison in the tea should be the legendary dart frog poison.
Shangguanxiu took the pharmacopoeia from her hand and read through the part describing the poison of dart frogs.
His brows furrowed deeper and he asked, "Who administered the poison?"
"" Before the saint could reply, the door suddenly opened, and Mo Yun strode in from outside.
Behind her, there were several maids holding swords.
One of them was escorted in.
The maid who was escorted in was known to both Shangguan Xiu and the Saint.
It was she who delivered the tea just now.
The Saint was a person who was not prone to mood swings, but at this time, her face had also darkened.
Under her gaze, the maid knelt on her knees, her body trembling so hard that she did not dare to raise her head.
The saint asked, "Why did you poison me?"
When she heard the word poisoning, the maid's face suddenly changed.
She raised her head in horror, looked at the saint, shook her head repeatedly, and said: "This slave has not poisoned me.
The saint knows it clearly, this slave has never poisoned me."
Shangguan Xiu looked on without saying a word.
This is the sacred pool, the temple, and the place where the saint takes the decision.
Not to mention him, even if Tang Ling comes, he is not qualified to point fingers here.
The maid's excuse made the saint's expression even more gloomy.
She waved her hand violently, and the tray flew out.
Several plates of snacks and half a pot of tea were scattered on the ground.
She asked in a deep voice: "You If there is no poison, where does the poison in this tea come from?"
There was poison in the tea.
The maid looked at the saint with dumbfounded eyes.
Then, her eyes fell on the bodies of the two maids.
She was sweating like rain.
The saint asked: "What else do you have to say?"
"Holy Maid, have mercy on me, Saint Maid, have mercy on me, this slave has really never been poisoned."
After a pause, she suddenly remembered something, and said urgently: "It's the cuckoo, it must be the poison poisoned by the cuckoo, these refreshments are all made by the cuckoo, It was also Du Juan who asked the slave to deliver tea to the library."
The saint didn't know who Du Juan was talking about.
She turned her eyes and looked at Mo Yun.

Mo Yun stepped forward and whispered: "Holy girl, Du Juan is one of the maids in charge of the kitchen."
"Bring her to me immediately," "Yes," Mo Yun agreed, turned around and walked out.
She went out as quickly as she came back, but she didn't bring Du Juan back.
She didn't find Du Juan in the back kitchen, nor did she find her in Du Juan's room.
After asking the maid who was friends with Du Juan, she found out that Du Juan said that the food in the temple was insufficient, and she had just hurried down the mountain to collect food. , Mo Yun immediately sent people to chase her, and she returned to the library to return to the saint.
After listening to Mo Yun's story, the saint couldn't help but sigh.
She turned to look at Shangguan Xiu, understanding that she was asking about her.
Meaning, Shangguanxiu meditative film At that moment, he said: "If Du Juan can be recovered, the two of them can be confronted face to face.
If Du Juan cannot be found, it can only mean that she has fled in fear of crime.
The saint can issue a pursuit order, and I can also ask the court to conduct a nationwide arrest. , this woman is wanted,” The Holy Lady nodded and said, "Just follow His Majesty's wishes."
Such a shocking scandal happened in the temple.
The Holy Lady didn't know how to deal with it.
Such a thing had never happened in the Divine Pond before.
She No experience at all, She looked at the kneeling maid and said: "She called" Mo Yun immediately replied: "Saint girl, her name is Bai Ling," "For the time being, take Bai Ling down and lock her in her own room.
She is not allowed to leave the house without my permission."
There is no prison for prisoners in the temple.
In other words, there have never been prisoners in the temple.
This time , which can be regarded as a first of its kind.
Shangguan Xiu was led by the maid to bathe and change clothes.
After he washed away the poisonous blood on his body and changed into a clean white robe, the maid led him to the saint's room.
He had been to the temple several times and stayed in the temple for several days, but this was the first time he entered the saint's boudoir.
The saint's room is very similar to hers.
It is deserted, quiet and elegant, with peace in its simplicity, and nobility in its coldness.
When he came in, the saint was sitting on the bed blankly.
Shangguan Xiu was deeply surprised that such a thing could happen in the temple.
One can imagine the saint's current mood.
He walked forward slowly.
Go and ask in a low voice: "Wanjing, are you okay?"
Shangguan Xiu rarely called the saint by her given name.
At this time, the saint was sitting on the bed, motionless, as if a porcelain doll would break into pieces if touched.
Shangguan Xiu was very worried and didn't know what to do.
How to comfort her?
The saint slowly raised her head, her dull eyes moved to Shangguan Xiu's face, and murmured: "If it weren't for you tonight, I would have been poisoned to death by now."
Thinking about it now, the saint is a formation.
The fear behind the array, She is proficient in pharmacology and medicine, and is a wood spiritual cultivator.
She is extremely sensitive to plant toxins.
Even if the other party uses the scent of osmanthus to confuse it, she can still detect the abnormality immediately.
The scary thing is that the other party knew her characteristics clearly.
There was no plant poison in the tea, but the extremely rare dart frog poison, which made the saint completely unaware.
If Shangguan Xiu hadn't been there tonight, if he hadn't knocked away the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she was about to eat at the critical moment, then the one who fell now would not be the two maids, but her.
Shangguanxiu walked up to the saint and patted her shoulder silently.
"Why do they hate me so much that they want to kill me with the poison of dart frogs?"
She believed that she had never treated anyone around her harshly, and she couldn't figure out why the maids in the temple wanted to poison her. , Shangguanxiu squinted his eyes, sat down next to the saint, and said quietly: "No matter whether the poisoner is a cuckoo or a lark, it is not the first day they have come to the temple.
If they really want to kill you, I have already started, and I don’t want to wait until today, so there is only one possibility," "Their target is not me, but you," Shangguanxiu nodded and said, "Nine times out of ten," "But why, why do they want to kill you," "Yes, why exactly is this?"
Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly.

The maids of the temple are not randomly selected, but carefully selected after careful review by the Shenchi Elder Council.
They are not called in from outside the Shenchi.
They are all women from local families in the Shenchi.
There cannot be any entanglement or grudges between Shangguan Xiu and them.
The elements of personal grudges can basically be eliminated.
If it is not for personal gain, then it must be for the public good.
Someone wants his life, and he will not hesitate to bury him in the gods for this.
The chess pieces in the temple are exposed, He said slowly: "Behind the poisoned maid, there must be someone behind the scenes.
The maid poisoned the tea under the order of the person behind the scenes."
The saint girl was shaken, looked at Shangguan Xiu intently, and asked: "Axiu, who do you think the main messenger will be?"
Shangguan Xiu pondered for a long time and said: "Those who want my life can be divided into two categories, one is at home and the other is abroad."
"Do you think they are from Ningnan or from Xuanling Palace?"
"No," Shangguan Xiu thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Ningnan people are not that capable of placing fine works into the temple of Shenchi.
Xuanling Palace does have such an ability, but they don't know how.
If you do this, Huandou will only want my body as a host, so he will try every means to capture me, but he will never kill me."
"If it's not from Ningnan, it's not from Xuanling Palace, then it's from the imperial court in Beijing," "Rebels, if the rebels were so capable and could put detailed works into the temple, the rebels would not be as large as they are now,"
It's not that he looked down on the rebels and put the fine works into the temple.
Isn't that something that anyone can do?
Let alone the rebels.
Even if Shangguan Xiu wanted to do this, he had no chance.
"It's not this, it's not that, who could it be?"
the saint fell into deep thought.
She racked her brain and couldn't figure out the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Suddenly, she found Shangguan Xiu staring at her with a pair of bright eyes without blinking.
The saint was stunned for a moment, and then, her jade face turned crimson.
Not blushing with shame, but blushing with anger, She stood up immediately, glared at Shangguan Xiu, and asked, "Are you doubting me?"
Before she finished speaking, Shangguanxiu took her hand and pulled her back to sit on the bed.
Then, he let go of his hand, looked directly at the saint, and said word by word: "Wanjing, what I want to say to you now is After listening to what I said, just remember it in your heart and don’t mention it to anyone again.”
Seeing his serious look, the saint nodded blankly, agt Shangguan Xiu said seriously: "Let's put it this way, in my opinion, there are only two groups of people who can place the fine works in the temple.
One group is Xuanling Palace, but Huandou will not kill me, so they listen The possibility of Xuanling Palace is excluded, and the other group of people is Shenchi," The maids of the temple are originally from the Divine Pond, and there is no one more convenient than the Divine Pond to place fine works into the temple.
When the saint heard the words in the Divine Pond, her face changed drastically.
She suddenly stood up again and said urgently: "This is impossible," What kind of place is the temple?
It is the highest institution of Shenchi.
Who is the saint?
She is the supreme leader of Shenchi.
The saint's decision can represent the decision of the temple, and the decision of the temple can represent the decision of the divine pool.
How can anyone arrange for themselves to be careful, and how can they poison themselves?
Shangguan Xiu understood what she was thinking, and asked: "Wanjing, can the saint really control everyone in the divine pool and control everyone's thoughts?"
The saint stood there for a long time, then stood up and sat back on the bed.
She had never thought about Shangguan Xiu's problem.
He continued: "If the saint could really do this, she wouldn't have done it in the first place.
There is chaos in Tongyu, Wanjing, what do you think?"
"You" the saint held it in for a long time, then asked: "Then why do the people in the divine pool want to kill you?"
Shangguanxiu shook his head.
He could imagine that the mastermind behind the scenes might come from Shenchi, but he couldn't figure out why the other party wanted to kill him, and why he wanted to kill him in a supreme spiritual palace like the temple.

He sighed quietly and said, "Maybe some people in Shenchi don't want Shenchi to stand on the court's side," If he was really poisoned and died in the temple, Shenchi could not explain it to the court at all, nor could he explain it clearly.
The next situation must be a full-scale feud between the court and Shenchi.
Zhenchi is currently encircling and suppressing the rebels outside Shenchi.
The county army will definitely not continue to fight the rebels.
Instead, they will immediately turn their guns and launch a full-scale attack on Shenchi.
It would be terrible if the situation develops to this point.
No one can predict how far it will deteriorate in the future:
