Lin Mengya focused her attention on a few spots in the room and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
The room was filled with thin silk threads and they were smeared with a weak poison.
Fortunately, the Shen Nung system was very sensitive.
Lin Mengya could not see clearly how many thin threads were hidden in the pharmacy. However, the Shen Nung system had already pointed out the spots where the poison was the strongest.
It was no wonder that no one was allowed in.
The poison smeared on the silk threads was not particularly harmful to the human body.
However, as long as it fell on the exposed skin, it would definitely cause unbearable redness and swelling.
Moreover, these thin threads must be connected to some kind of alarm mechanism. Even if the culprit was not caught, it would be very easy to investigate.
The Pavilion of Herbs was indeed worthy of its reputation. Even the anti-theft measures were so fresh and refined.
"Help me look for something like flour. If you don't have flour, medicinal powder will do."
Seeing Lin Mengya's calm look, Zuo Qiuyu and Yu An immediately went into the room to look for it.
Only Long Tianhao was still guarding Lin Mengya at the door.
He carefully looked into the room with his long and narrow eyes. With his eyesight, he could barely make out the general situation.
How did Lin Mengya discover the secret in the room?
In the past, Long Tianhao only felt that Lin Mengya was very intelligent and sensitive. There were some small details that others could not notice.
But she was able to peel back the silk cocoon and find the truth of the matter.
Now it seemed that Lin Mengya's ability was not limited to this.
He felt a little surprised. It seemed that this princess of his was still keeping many secrets.
"Mengya, there's something I've been wanting to ask you."
Lin Mengya was looking attentively. She tilted her head and blinked her big watery eyes at Long Tianhao.
The latter approached her and stared at her with his pitch-black eyes.
"I had thought that my princess was good at treating patients. However, I didn't expect your eyesight to be several times better than that of ordinary people. I'm really pleasantly surprised. "
Long Tianhao's calm voice made Lin Mengya's eyebrows twitch.
She hurriedly suppressed the panic in her heart and said calmly,
"It's just that my nose is more sensitive. These threads are smeared with a kind of poison. Moreover, since the Pavilion of Herbs had attached such importance to this matter, how could they have made such a big mistake? You should know that apart from us, there are many people in the pavilion who are interested in this position. "
Everyone knew that Lin Mengya had a keen sense of smell. It was understandable for him to evade the responsibility.
In fact, Long Tianhao was just asking casually, but Lin Mengya's mood was a little complicated.
Sometimes, she really relied too much on the Shen Nung system.
Therefore, no matter when or where, he would subconsciously use the Shen Nung system to solve any problem.
Little did she know that her abnormality was enough to be noticed by others.
Today, Long Tianhao's words were a wake-up call to her. If this continued, her secret would be exposed sooner or later.
A huge wave was set off in his heart.
At that time, even the music score for the green stringed instrument would not have her secret.
Yu An and Zuo Qiuyu were very quick. Soon, they found the powder that had been ground.
Among these powder, many of them were mixed with flour and the like. He probably wanted to use it to make pills.
There was no lack of such things in the pharmacy.
For this reason, Zuo Qiuyu prepared a jar of powder and placed it in front of Lin Mengya.
"Step back, let me do it."
Lin Mengya took the jar of powder, grabbed a handful of powder and held it in her hand.
"Phew …"
She used her strength skillfully, and the endless powder flew from her palm into the room like a mist.
In an instant, the thin threads hidden in the dark revealed their shape under the effect of the powder.
If it weren't for Lin Mengya's alertness, they would have been discovered because they had touched the thin thread.
This was because the thin threads were densely packed and there seemed to be no pattern at all. It was impossible to guard against them.
"Tsk, fortunately, we did not act rashly just now."
Zuo Qiuyu patted his chest and spoke with relief.
They were here to make trouble. If they were discovered, it would not be worth it.
"But how are we going to get in?"
Yu An was also dumbfounded. Looking at the thin threads, he did not know how to climb over. Unless he could transform into a snake. Otherwise, he would still be discovered.
Lin Mengya was also at her wit's end.
Shrugging her shoulders, the three of them looked at Long Tianhao, who seemed to be deep in thought.
Long Tianhao frowned slightly and raised his head to look at the rooftop. After a long while, he finally said something.
"Perhaps we can climb over the rooftop."
Lin Mengya cast a contemptuous glance at Long Tianhao, who was skilled and bold.
Among them, he was the only one who had the skills to do so.
However, Long Tianhao knew nothing about herbs and it would be a waste of time for him to go there.
In that instant, there was only disappointment in the eyes of the three of them.
"Ahem, actually, there is a mechanism here."
Long Tianhao coughed awkwardly and stopped joking around as he looked around the dark pharmacy.
With his reminder, Lin Mengya was suddenly enlightened.
That was right. Although not all the people in the Pavilion of Herbs were powerless physicians, they were still the minority. Nevertheless, they were still the minority who knew martial arts.
Otherwise, would they have to use a pair of scissors to cut the threads every day?
Not to mention that it was troublesome, it was also unrealistic to avoid it.
"Mengya, you have the best sense of smell. Can you tell me where there is no poison at an arm's length from the door?"
Long Tianhao looked into the room with rapt attention. Lin Mengya nodded, and then quietly activated the Shen Nung system. But he still pretended to sniff the air hard.
Finally, she confirmed two points.
Looking at the two points pointed out by Lin Mengya, Long Tianhao did not take any action.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? "
Lin Mengya looked at Long Tianhao. Her analysis would never be wrong.
The reason why Long Tianhao was so hesitant must be that he had discovered something.
"There must be a real one and a fake one. Otherwise, a slightly smarter person would know that these thin threads were controlled by a mechanism. I think if we are wrong, we might run into some unexpected trouble. "
Long Tianhao remained silent for a long time. Then, he slowly reached out his hand.
In the end, he chose the mechanism on the left.
Slowly, he felt his hand on the wall. His finger seemed to have touched a small bump.
He pressed it without hesitation. The other three people, whose hearts were in their throats, widened their eyes and looked at the pharmacy expectantly.
Almost three seconds.
Lin Mengya felt that time was passing very slowly.
She looked at the pharmacy without blinking, but there was no reaction at all.
Could it be a mistake?
"Get away!"
A sense of danger suddenly rose in Long Tianhao's heart.
But before the four of them could react, they heard a muffled sound coming from the ground.
Lin Mengya could only feel the earth shaking and the mountains shaking. Then, she fell from the sky as if she was weightless.
"Thump!" Lin Mengya felt as if her buttocks were about to split open.
The sharp pain almost caused her to burst into tears.
But there were other sounds around her. Judging from the sound of their landing, they must be in the same situation as her.
Lin Mengya had no time to comfort her buttocks. She quickly lowered her voice and called out to her companions.
"How are you? Are you all right?"
In the darkness, she could not see her fingers.
Above his head, the hole that had suddenly opened up in the ground had long since healed up.
Lin Mengya's first thought was that she was trapped in a dungeon.
"It's okay. Stand there and don't move. I'll go to you."
In the darkness, Long Tianhao's deep voice was especially soothing.
Lin Mengya stood there obediently. Then a pair of warm and familiar hands grabbed her arm. Without hesitation, he pulled her into his arms.
"I'm here. Don't be afraid."
The uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated with the warmth in his arms.
Wherever he was, Lin Mengya would feel incomparably safe.
With a sizzling sound, sparks of fire suddenly appeared in the darkness.
Finally, the sparks stabilized. There was finally a glimmer of light in the terrifying darkness.
At the same time, it illuminated four different faces.
Zuo Qiuyu and Yu An moved closer to Lin Mengya.
"Is this the dungeon of the Pavilion of Herbs?"
Zuo Qiuyu's words made Lin Mengya nod with an ugly expression on her face.
They did not expect that they would be in such big trouble because they had activated the wrong mechanism.
If they had known this, they would have alerted the people outside. At least, they would have a chance to escape.
"What should we do now? It seems that we can't get out. "
Yu An swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a long face.
Lin Mengya leaned into Long Tianhao's arms and her mind was in a whirl.
"What's that smell?"
There was an indescribable smell in the air. It was hard to tell if it was stinky or fragrant.
Lin Mengya glanced at Yu An's fire starter. They did not feel any tightness in their chest even though it was burning.
This meant that there was ventilation in this place.
After hearing Lin Mengya's words, Long Tianhao and Zuo Qiuyu also smelled the indescribable smell in the air. However, they felt that it was somewhat familiar.
"This is … the oil of lantern grass!"
All of a sudden, Yu An cried out in surprise.
Lantern grass? It was only then that Lin Mengya remembered that this was a plant unique to this world.
