On the afternoon of the fourth day of the third month, Xiao Ding and the people of Yuqingmen sent away the various sects and factions on the mountainside, and then Yue Yurou was busy dealing with the affairs of Yuqingmen, while Xiao Ding sat with several elders of Yuqingmen to discuss how to defend against the surprise attack of Tianluomen.

Xiao Ding helped come up with a way to use poison to fend off Tianluomon. Immediately, Yu Yingzi immediately thought of how to use the poison.

Refining poisons is not difficult for Yuqingmen, they are already good at refining medicines, they are familiar with the attributes of various plants and trees, they can refine antidotes, and naturally they know how to refine poisons.

As for the bamboo barrel cartridge that Yu Yingzi said, Xiao Ding had never seen it, but he could also guess that the old Taoist aunts must be familiar with this kind of device, and it shouldn't be too difficult to make.

Since this matter has been resolved, Xiao Ding remembered the matter of Yanxin Grass again, thinking to herself, Yue Yurou didn't know when she would be able to finish her work, and she didn't know when she would take herself to find this Yanxin Grass.

At dinner, Xiao Ding saw Yue Yurou and asked about Yan Xincao, Yue Yurou said that he would take Xiao Ding to the mountains tomorrow to find it, Xiao Ding heard it, and his heart was happy, and he ate three bowls of rice before putting down his chopsticks. I chewed the light greens in my mouth, and I felt that it was delicious.

At the dinner table, Xiao Ding and the old Dao aunts also reported to Yue Yurou about the method they had come up with to fight against Tianluomen in the afternoon. After hearing this, Yue Yurou also nodded in agreement.

Early the next morning, Yue Yurou arranged for the old Dao aunts to preside over the refining of poison, and then sent the little Dao aunts to chop bamboo and make cartridges.

As for what kind of poison to refine, the old Dao aunts discussed with Yue Yurou and finally chose a medicine called Ecstasy to use. When this ecstasy is inhaled, it will faint immediately and will not be directly fatal. After all, these old Taoist aunts were still kind-hearted, and they didn't choose those poisons that could kill them instantly.

Yue Yurou called Xiao Ding and wanted to take Xiao Ding into the mountain to find Yanxin Grass. Sun Dasheng and Luo Dafeng were bored in Yuqingmen, and when they heard that Yue Yurou and Xiaoding were going into the mountain, the two of them also said that they would follow them into the mountain to find them together.

Yue Yurou agreed to the two of them, and described the shape and characteristics of the Yanxin Grass with the two, and then the four of them walked out of the mountain gate and walked towards the back mountain.

There is still snow on the mountain, but some have also begun to melt. At this time, it is the beginning of March in the old calendar, and if it is in the later life, it is already the end of March and the beginning of April of the Gregorian calendar.

Jinju is located in the north of the Great Song Kingdom, and the winter of this era is much colder than the winter of later generations, and the cold time is longer than that of later generations.

However, if you look closely, in some leeward places, where the sun is warm, the snow has melted, and some hardy plants have turned slightly green, quietly sprouting new shoots.

According to Yue Yurou's introduction, Yanxin grass is a plant with green leaves and red stems, although it will dry up in winter, but as long as the roots do not die, after the snow melts in spring, it will regenerate buds, pull branches, grow leaves, and continue to grow.

The medicinal properties of the Flame Heart Herb are similar to those of the Red Refining Flame Fruit, but when it is used together with the Red Refining Flame Fruit, it will act as a catalyst, which can enhance the effect of the Red Refining Flame Fruit several times.

As soon as the four of them arrived at the back mountain, they all searched everywhere. According to Yue Yurou's description, go and look for plants with red stems.

Xiao Ding saw that Sun was following Luo Dafeng's ass loudly, so he glanced at Yue Yurou, and then walked in another direction with Yue Yurou.

The vegetation in the back mountains is very lush, and although many of them are still dry and have not yet sprouted, they are all over the mountains. While searching around, Xiao Ding listened to Yue Yurou introduce him to various plants, their characteristics and effects, and what kind of medicine was suitable for refining. After listening to this, Xiao Ding naturally benefited a lot.

The two chatted and walked to find it, and Yue Yurou would also pick some other herbs and put them in the basket by the way. Gradually, the two of them became farther and farther away from Sun Dasheng and the others, and finally they couldn't see the two of them.

There are also many various trees on the back mountain, and it is difficult to see each other when the distance is far away.

Yue Yurou remembered that she had encountered Yanxin Grass in the mountains and forests before, so she took Xiao Ding into the woods.

However, it was almost noon, and the two of them did not find Yanxin Cao, and lost contact with Sun Dasheng and Luo Dafeng, and I don't know if the two of them found it.

Xiao Ding was a little discouraged, so he stopped and leaned sideways against the trunk of a dead tree beside him, and then said to Yue Yurou: "Miss Yurou, isn't our luck not very good today?" ”

Yue Yurou dug out a herb and threw it into the back basket behind her, straightened up, and looked at Xiao Ding, suddenly, her face became solemn, and she pointed at Xiao Ding and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Xiao Ding, you ——, you——, ——, ...... quickly!" ”

Before she finished speaking, Xiao Ding felt that the dead tree she was leaning on suddenly snapped and snapped.

From the broken heart of the tree, countless wasps flew out at once, like a cloud of black mist, shrouding Xiao Ding and Yue Yurou.

It turned out that the trunk of this dead tree had long been hollowed out by wasps, and the heart of the tree had become a nest for wasps. At this time, it has just entered early spring, and the hornets are still hibernating in the nest and have not yet come out to move. Xiao Ding was tall, and the weight of his upper body leaned against the dead tree, but the dead tree could not bear it, so he broke off from it, just exposing the hornet's hive.

The nest of wasps, when they found that the hive had been destroyed, and no matter that the weather had not completely warmed up yet, they also swarmed towards Xiao Ding and Yue Yurou.

The two hurriedly waved their sleeves to cover it, and then immediately turned around and ran away. Fortunately, both of them have martial arts, and the ancient costumes of this era have wide sleeves and waving them, but they are not stung by wasps.

The two ran out of the woods, and when they looked back, the hornets were still chasing after them like a black cloud.

The two did not dare to stay and continued to run forward.

Yue Yurou was familiar with the terrain and ran in front, followed by Xiao Ding.

The two of them ran and ran, and an ancestral hall appeared in front of them. This is the ancestral hall of Yuqingmen built in the back mountain, which is used to worship the spiritual tablets and ashes of the ancestors of Yuqingmen.

Seeing the hornets chasing closer and closer, the two of them didn't have time to think, they both broke into the ancestral hall, and then closed the door tightly.

"Miss Yurou, were you stung by a wasp just now?" Xiao Ding asked breathlessly with concern.

"No, I'm glad I found it in time, what about you? Brother Ding, have you been stung? Yue Yurou also calmed down and said in a breath.

"I didn't either, but luckily I dodged quickly. Otherwise, it's hard to say. Xiao Ding said fearfully.

Through the faint light in the ancestral hall, Xiao Ding saw that it was a room made of stone. The most conspicuous thing in the room is the table with dozens of tablets. Each tablet has a name written on it, and sandalwood is burned in the incense burner at the front of the tablet. It seems that people come here every day to burn incense and worship.

On the wall behind the table where the spirit tablet is enshrined, there is a portrait of a female Taoist aunt. The female Taoist girl in the painting is very beautiful, with her feet on top of a flying sword, as if she is flying with the sword.

"Is the woman in this painting the patriarch of your Yuqing Sect?" Xiao Ding pointed to the painting and asked curiously.

"Yes, she is the founder of our Yuqing Gate, named Xuanqing Zhenren, and she also has a senior sister named Xuanyu Zhenren, and their sisters jointly founded Yuqing Gate, and the name of Yuqing Gate comes from the name of their sisters. After the establishment of the sect, because the senior sister Xuan Yuzhen was quiet and neglected to manage the affairs of the sect, he let his junior sister Xuan Qingzhen be the head of the sect. Yue Yurou said softly.

Xiao Ding nodded, and said in his heart, this cultivator has really seen through the red dust and transcended the outside of things, if he is replaced by a layman in the market, presumably the senior sister will definitely not give up this position as the head of the family.

While secretly admiring the Yuqingmen Patriarch in his heart, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of the tablet with "Yuxiazi" written on the back of all the spirit cards.

He immediately remembered the scene when he first saw Yuxiazi at the top of Luoxia Peak that night. Unexpectedly, the head of the generation was actually plotted to death by Tianluomen, and at the same time, he also remembered what Yuxiazi asked him to do before he died.

At that time, Yuxiazi asked Xiao Ding to help lead Yue Yurou down the mountain safely, and asked Yue Yurou to return to Yuqingmen to take over the position of head and revitalize Yuqingmen. Now, he has completed all the things that Yuxiazi dragged him to do, and whether he can revive Yuqingmen depends on Yue Yurou's ability.

At the beginning, Xiao Ding saw that Yue Yurourou was weak and weak, and she was just a seventeen-year-old little Taoist aunt, and she was always worried that she would not be able to take on the responsibility of the head of the house. And now it seems that although Yue Yurou is one year older after the New Year, she has reached the age of eighteen, but her appearance and figure are still soft and weak, however, after the tempering of the superior in the past few months, now Yue Yurou's temperament has become rare and has the temperament of some heads, speaking and doing things, and inadvertently has a little bit of a king's spirit.

Xiao Ding guessed that this should be slowly tempered.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ding asked, "Are your master's ashes also buried here?" ”

"Yes, the ashes of our predecessors in the Yuqing Sect are all kept in the stone chamber on the lower floor." Yue Yurou said.

"There's another floor down there?" Xiao Ding asked curiously, and looked around, wanting to see where the tunnel entrance was.

"Yes, the lower level is where the ashes are kept." Yue Yurou said.

The two were talking, when suddenly a wasp got into the house out of nowhere and pounced on Xiao Ding's face.

Xiao Ding stretched out his finger and flicked it, and the hornet was bounced to the ground at once.

Xiao Ding was about to check where the hornets came from, when he saw more than a dozen hornets flying over, directly running towards Xiao Ding and the others.

Xiao Ding was so frightened that he hurriedly waved the sleeves of his robe and beat him again and again. Yue Yurou is the same.

Fortunately, the number of wasps was small, and they were quickly knocked to the ground.

At this time, the two took the time to look at the door, only to see that the door of the house could not be completely closed because of its age, and the wasp came in after looking for a gap.

Just when Xiao Ding and the others checked, more than a dozen hornets had already come in.

The two of them waved their robes again and again.

Xiao Ding thought in his heart, if this crack in the door is not blocked, this hornet will continue to enter the house, how can the two of them pounce?
