After the ferry docked, the shocked people had not yet woken up from the shock, and the figures who had taken away the swords had already drifted away.

Liu Sanniang looked at her back in the distance, raised her head and said: "From today on, anyone with a sword can board the ship."

The scholars nodded after hearing this. They had experienced a wave of ghost kings, which was equivalent to crawling out of the gate of hell. They no longer dared to underestimate the power of swords.

Although the scholar Xiaoliu, who was originally the most looked down upon, still didn't talk much, his back was obviously much straighter than before, and he no longer deliberately avoided talking about swords.

The old servant's injury was not too serious. He helped Yun Guang out of the boat and said, "That young man has extraordinary skills and his future achievements are limitless. Why doesn't the prince keep him by his side as his right-hand man?"

King Ji didn't think about it, and sighed: "He has a special aura, especially above me. He can scare all monsters with his two swords. I really can't control such a strong man..."

Although Yun Guang is pedantic, fortunately he is self-aware.

But he was a little regretful that he didn't ask for the young man's name.

…

After climbing over mountains and ridges, Yunji walked a long way before finding the main road and arriving at a small town before dark.

The ferry boat was swept hundreds of miles away by the ghost king tide and deviated from its original route. If it weren't for Yunji's footsteps, we might not have been able to find a place to stay from the place where we got off the boat until dark.

The town is not big, but relatively prosperous, and it is very lively with people coming and going.

First, he found a small shop to fill his stomach. When he was looking for the inn, Yunji passed by a house.

There was a circle of people outside the house, stretching their necks to watch the excitement. When they got closer, they could hear the sound of a woman crying from the yard.

Just as he was passing by, Yunji took a look inside and listened to the comments of the people next to him.

It turns out that there was a death in this family, and the person who died was the mainstay of the family. This man was in his prime and a military officer in Jiyun, and was in charge of thieves and prison matters in the area.

Dead people were so common in towns. Yunji didn't care at first and planned to continue looking for an inn, but suddenly he heard an old man sighing.

"It's a pity that Captain Wang is such a good person. If anything goes wrong, he has to touch that ecstasy smoke. Isn't this a self-inflicted death? How can his family survive if he leaves an orphan and a widowed mother behind?"

"Old man, what is ecstasy smoke? Is it poisonous smoke?" Yun Ji asked curiously.

Seeing that Yunji was young, the old man deliberately reminded: "It's a special kind of poisonous weed. It's dried and put in a tobacco pole. It can kill you after a few puffs. I don't know what it's good or harmful to. Whoever touches it

It’s over.”

"So terrible?" Yunji said in surprise: "The taste must be good, otherwise how could anyone touch such a poisonous substance?"

Another person watching the excitement interjected: "That thing is very expensive, and non-powerful people cannot afford to play with it. It is widely spread among military generals. I heard that it is a business for the prince-in-law..."

Halfway through the sentence, the man hurriedly shut up. It involved the consort, and the crowd watching the excitement kept it secret.

"One puff of the ecstasy smoke will put an end to all worries. Two puffs of the ecstasy smoke will bring you into a fairyland with boundless joy. Three puffs of the ecstasy smoke will bring the immortals back to their underworld."

Someone sighed and uttered a widely circulated proverb.

Almost everyone knows about the existence of Ecstasy, and it is mysterious. Due to its high price, ordinary people are not allowed to see it. It is mostly rumored, but occasionally you can see tragedies that resulted in the death of it, just like the Wang Xiaowei family in front of you.

"Consort..." Yunji repeated this familiar name, separated from the crowd and walked into the courtyard.

Captain Wang's body was placed in the center of the courtyard, covered with a straw mat, and it seemed that he was waiting for the funeral.

A woman in her thirties sat kneeling next to her, crying so hard that her eyes were red and swollen.

Next to the woman were two children less than ten years old, their confused eyes making people feel distressed.

Stepping forward, Yunji opened the straw mat.

The man had just died, but his appearance was terrifying.

As a military attache, Wang Xiaowei was obviously well-educated. He had a strong body and a large frame. The calluses on his hands showed that he practiced swords all the time. However, his face was haggard, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. Only the whites of his eyes were left, and almost no black eyes could be seen.

This man died strangely, as if something had drained his blood and soul.

Yunji moved his eyes away from the corpse and looked at one of the older children, who was holding a cigarette pole in his hand.

Yunji squatted down and asked softly: "Is this your father's ecstasy smoke?"

"Yes, Daddy likes this kind of ecstasy the most, and he will be buried with him soon." The older child said truthfully.

"Dad said that as long as you take a sip when you are sad, you can forget all your worries. I am very sad. I also want Ecstasy, but my mother won't give it." Another smaller child said innocently.

"There is a devil in the ecstasy smoke, and the child will be eaten in one fell swoop." Yunji threatened, his expression always kind. He turned to the older child and said, "Can you let me take a look at your father's ecstasy smoke?

If you have the ability to slay demons, I might be able to help you get rid of the devil in the ecstasy smoke."

The two children looked at each other and handed the cigarette pole to Yunji doubtfully.

There was no ecstasy smoke in the cigarette rod, only some ashes were left. Yunji knocked out the ashes, put a little on his nose and smelled it.

"Wangyoucao..."

His eyes suddenly darkened.

With a click, the cigarette rod was broken by Yunji.

"You accompany my smoking pole!"

"You accompany daddy in ecstasy!"

The two children refused to let go, crying and shouting.

The woman hugged the two children and comforted them: "It doesn't matter if it's broken, that thing does a lot of harm to people. Your father died because he took one too many puffs of Ecstasy."

"Why did you eat it if you knew it was poison?" Yun Ji asked.

"My husband has an ambition, but he has not been reused for many years. He has the skills to kill monsters, but he has no military skills in the court, so he can only stick to the small town like a caged bird. He is depressed all day long, and only this ecstasy

The smoke can relieve the depression in his heart." The woman replied.

"Who does the ecstasy smoke come from? Is it really the consort Chen Peng?" Yunji asked again.

The woman hesitated for a moment. If Yunji had not said the name of the consort, she would not have dared to answer easily. When she heard the name, she nodded gently with tears in her eyes.

At this time, the coffin was carried in from outside the door, and the body was placed in the funeral.

"I was born at the wrong time..."

With a slight sigh, Yunji walked towards the door.

He has been able to determine that the ecstasy smoke is made from the highly poisonous forgetwort.

Forget-me-not grass has terrible poisonous power. Once eaten by mistake, it will destroy a person's sanity, soul, and blood essence in a very short period of time, turning a strong man into a haggard old man.

Forget-worn grass also has a little-known effect, which can make people feel happy and forget their worries, but the price is fatal.

Only demonic beasts dare to swallow small amounts of this terrible poisonous herb in order to relieve their severely injured bodies. In the spiritual world, a very small amount of elixirs are refined from Forgetwort grass, and there is no trace of this poisonous weed in the human world.

Nowadays, someone has made Forget-To-Ecstasy into ecstasy cigarettes and sold them blatantly, which shows how crazy this person has become.

The consort Chen Peng was the originator of Ecstasy Smoke.

The devil who kills his wife and children really does all kinds of evil.

"Do you keep your word? Can you get rid of the devil in the ecstasy smoke?"

When Yunji walked to the door, two children asked questions from behind him.

"Don't worry, I will help you get rid of it."
