Chapter 168 Aconitum Medicinal Dregs
The ground of the bamboo forest is full of fallen leaves.

After the giant panda peeled off the dead leaves above, it then peeled off the leaves below that had rotted into mud, and continued to pull them down, sniffing them from time to time.

Zibuyu and I looked at each other, becoming more and more curious as to what the giant panda Fusheng was picking on.

It's so smart, it shouldn't be a problem to pull this thing, there must be something under it.

After a while, it pulled out some black broken bamboo branches. The more it pulled, the more it pulled out, and there was a cheerful bleating sound from its mouth, as if it had finally found it, and it was very happy in its heart.

It looked back at Zibuyu from time to time, and was still bleating, as if calling Zibuyu to look over.

Zibuyu was also full of doubts. When he told the giant panda the news of his master's death just now, the giant panda was still very sad.

Why did you bleat all of a sudden?
With doubts, Zibuyu walked into the bamboo forest and came to the edge of the giant panda.

He gave me two glances with the giant panda, but he didn't continue to attack me.

Zi Buyu squatted down, stretched out his hands to grab those black dead branches and leaves, and took them under his nose to smell them.

As soon as he smelled it, his brows frowned, and the more he smelled it, the more something was wrong.

He suddenly pulled the hole hard, the more he pulled, the more dead branches and leaves came out of the hole.

He grabbed these black dead branches under his nose and smelled them, and then carefully searched among them, and put the ones he found in the palm of his hand.

His face has been pulled down, and his face is extremely pale.

"Fusheng, why do you have such things here? Where did these things come from?" Zibuyu held these things and asked the giant panda.

The giant panda kept humming and chirping, and pointed to the other side of the mountain with its front paws, which was the direction of Baguamen.

He kept humming for a long time, and was so anxious that he almost spoke.

"You mean to say that these medicinal residues were brought from the Eight Trigrams Gate?" Zi Buyu asked.

Panda Fusheng nodded repeatedly as if he understood.

I am really convinced that this man and the giant panda can communicate so barrier-free. They are really brats, who can barely speak and understand everything.

"When did you get it?" Zibuyu asked again.

Panda Fusheng moaned and chirped again, and repeatedly gestured with his front paws.

But this time, Zi didn't understand without saying a word.

Zibuyu frowned, looked at the few medicine dregs in his hand, then lowered his head to look at the pit, there was no telling how much was left in the pit.

He slowly turned his head to look at me with complicated eyes.

"What the hell is it?" I was full of doubts.

"The medicine dregs of Chuanwutou." Zibuyu gritted his teeth and said.

"Chuan... Chuanwutou?" I asked with wide-eyed eyes, "Then your master has the habit of eating aconitum honey? It's normal to have medicine dregs."

"It's not normal." Zibuyu immediately refuted me, saying, "Do you know what aconitum is?"

"What is aconite?" I widened my eyes, a little confused.

"Aconitum aconitum is highly poisonous and cannot be taken directly. Use Aconitum aconitum for [-] qian, boil six bowls of water into two bowls of water, remove the medicinal residues! Then put in two bowls of honey, and boil it into two bowls to dilute it like this. After that, it becomes aconitum."

I nodded, after such dilution, the aconite honey should be safe.

Unexpectedly, Zibuyu said again: "At this time, the aconite honey cannot be taken directly. When eating, take a spoonful and dilute it with four times the water or cinnamon stick soup before eating."

I sighed inwardly, this is really strict enough, if eaten in this way, there is basically no toxicity at all.

Zibuyu continued: "The dregs of medicine in my hand are at least worth three qian, and I don't know how much is left in this pit! The aconitum honey made with this amount is at least enough to last for several years." Yes! The master usually boils aconitum honey once every three months, and the three qian aconites are not used every time. I have only been away from Baguamen for less than three months. I know all about the previous things. The dregs must have appeared within these three months."

My heart skipped a beat.

It's over, something big happened.

Master Zhu Zhihan carved the words of cleaning the door on the stone bed of the retreat.

He himself died from being poisoned by Aconitum aconitum.

A large number of medicinal residues of Aconitum aconitum have been found here.

Doesn't this mean that he was poisoned to death with aconitum?

And this person must be one of his seven apprentices.

What I didn't even expect was that the giant panda Fusheng could have such spirituality. He took the dregs of the medicine from the Eight Trigrams Gate and hid it secretly.

It also knows that there are bad guys, so it has been afraid to make a move.

It wasn't until Zibuyu came and told it that Zhu Zhihan was dead, that it showed this evidence to Zibuyu.

And it chose the right person. If it chooses the apprentice who assassinated the old Taoist priest, then it will not be able to protect itself. Even if it is a national treasure, it will definitely be murdered.

You must know that each of these seven apprentices is in the realm of a mysterious master, and it is absolutely easy to kill it.

The key point is that these seven people are very familiar with Fusheng. If they suddenly do something wrong, Fusheng will not know how to die.

"Impossible, how could this be? Who is it?" Zibuyu suddenly became sad, with grief and indignation.

The brother of the same school poisoned the master, and anyone else would not be able to accept it.

The key is that he has a good relationship with these six senior brothers.

No matter who the murderer is in the end, it is difficult for him to accept.

"No, while they are all here now, I want to go back and ask, how could they be so determined to poison the master who raised them, they bastards!" Startled the giant pandas around him and took two steps back.

Zizi came out without a word, and was ready to go up the mountain to confront each other one by one.

I grabbed him and yelled loudly: "Zi Buyu, calm down!"

"How do you tell me to calm down? If it were you, would you be able to calm down?" Zibuyu yelled at me.

"Can you be more rational." I told him toughly, and I said, "You are exposing yourself like this. The situation where the enemy is dark and we are clear is not conducive to our investigation of this matter! Besides, you are holding this thing now. If you go up and confront them, can they admit it?"

Zibuyu panted heavily, forced himself to calm down, looked at me, took a few deep breaths, and asked me: "Then tell me, what should we do now?"

"Calm down first! As if we don't know anything, we will stay in the Bagua Temple for a few more days and observe secretly, and we will definitely find clues."

"But I can't suppress the anger in my heart." He is a short-tempered person, it's hard for him to suppress it, and it's even more difficult for him to act as if he doesn't know anything.

Moreover, it is indeed difficult to pretend not to know, to live and live with the murderer, and to pretend to be a normal person.

"If you can't suppress it, you have to suppress it. In addition to your master's hatred, your Bagua Sect also has a mission! Now the internal strife in the Bagua Sect, apart from internal traitors, must have something to do with this mission and the treasure map." I continued to persuade him.

"Yes, it must be so." Zibuyu also nodded repeatedly.

"Let me ask you, is the one-third of the treasure map of your Bagua Sect in your possession now?" I asked him directly.

He looked at me, met my eyes, hesitated.

"You ink blot, didn't you show us our family's treasure map, do you still need to hide it from me? What kind of friendship do we have?"

"Yes, it's on me." After weighing the matter without saying a word, Zi replied.

"Apart from you, your six senior brothers, have you seen this treasure map, have you taken a photo or copied it?" I asked him again.

"I don't know! But when my master gave me such a top-secret thing, he asked me not to tell anyone, including my six senior brothers."

"It should be no, only you know." I analyzed it and said: "If the person who poisoned your master didn't get the treasure map from your master, you must be the one who will deal with it next."

"Then let him come. I just want to see which white-eyed wolf it is. Even if I try my best, I will clean up the house and avenge my master." Zibuyu said while gritting his molars.

"Calm down! Don't just think about going all out. The situation is complicated. Do you think this murderer can poison the master who raised him? Is there no one behind it? Without enough temptation, he can scare this hand?"

"You mean..." Zibuyu widened his eyes and pondered calmly.
