Chapter 15: Underground
The Luo family came to seek revenge twice, once in the open and once in the dark, but they didn't get any benefits from Jiang Luoan's men. This time, another group of people was even arrested. Jiang Luo'an intuitively felt that the Luo family would not give up so well, and he still needed to practice his ability to protect himself.
Fortunately, after crossing over, he had not forgotten all the poison techniques he had learned before, and Jiang Luoan was ready to start from this aspect.
If you want to understand the poison refining method of this world, you need to go to the library first.
Jiang Luo'an's eyes have a special ability, and when he infuses his eyes with spiritual power, he can see the content of each book through the obstacles of the layers of bookshelves.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the library pavilion, Jiang Luoan withdrew the technique of hiding his eye ability, quickly found the book he wanted, and moved out all the dozen or so thick ancient books.
Her way of reading is also different from others. All she had to do was flip through the books she was reading, and all the words would come to her mind. Jiang Luoan never forgot it, holding the book on his lap, and flipped it quickly.
In just a stick of incense, Jiang Luoan finished reading all the books he had selected. She closed the book, closed her eyes, and felt the contents of the book flow through her mind like a marquee.
The alchemy of this era was different from what she had learned in the past, but the basic principles of alchemy were still the same. She remembered it all clearly.
After reading the books, Jiang Luoan was about to put these books back one by one, when he saw another daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Muxue, swaggering in to find the books.
Jiang Muxue usually has a very good relationship with Jiang Yueru, so naturally she also looks at Jiang Luo'an unpleasantly. This time, seeing Jiang Luoan holding a large handful of books to put back on the shelf, he looked like he had read them all, and he couldn't help but want to sneer a few words.
"Yo, who are you holding so many books for?" Jiang Muxue smiled: "There are so many esoteric ancient books, how many can you understand?" β
Jiang Luoan didn't bother to take care of her, and after putting away the books on the first floor, he turned around and walked to the second floor of the library pavilion. Condescendingly, Jiang Luoan looked at Jiang Muxue's puffing appearance downstairs, and couldn't help but throw the book away.
Jiang Muxue was still angry that she had been ignored just now, and she didn't notice it for a while, until the book was about to fall on her head, she suddenly came back to her senses, and knocked the book down, unconsciously becoming even more angry in her heart.
There are not many books on poison refining in the library pavilion, and Jiang Luoan is ready to go home after reading it.
Walking to the first floor, Jiang Luo'an was walking between the bookshelves in order to make a little less detour, and the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of an unnatural bulge in the depths of the bookshelves.
The Library Pavilion has always been a place of great care for the family, and every two months there is a special person to maintain the facilities inside. It's not been long since the last maintenance, and why is the masonry on the wall sticking out?
Jiang Luoan stepped forward curiously to take a look. I saw that this brick and stone was originally embedded here, and there was no soil bonding between the gaps. On closer inspection, she saw that the entire wall was so flexible and moving.
There must be something in there.
Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Luoan pulled out the raised masonry. Sure enough, after a soft sound, the masonry on the wall slowly moved to both sides, revealing a hole that only allowed one person to pass through.
Jiang Luoan stood in front of the entrance of the cave and looked down, which should lead to the basement.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Muxue didn't know where she came out, and pointed to the entrance of the cave in shock, "What is this?" β
Jiang Luo'an stretched out his hand to point out her acupoint, but he could hear the footsteps of the people guarding the library pavilion, and he would soon be here.
Without further ado, Jiang Luoan grabbed Jiang Muxue and pushed down the hole with all his strength. The guards of the Library Pavilion happened to arrive, and Jiang Luo'an immediately pointed to the entrance of the cave and said, "Jiang Muxue found this cave and wanted to go down to have a look, but I ran over when I heard the movement." β
The guard didn't dare to offend the two of them easily, so he hurriedly said, "You two stand still first, and wait for me to notify the master of the family to come." Then he turned around and left.
How could Jiang Luoan be so obedient, as soon as the man left, he jumped off the entrance of the cave and quickly clicked her acupoint before Jiang Muxue could react.
Throwing Jiang Muxue aside, Jiang Luoan now has time to take a look at this basement.
This basement is like a small library with rare books. Jiang Luoan didn't want to see much, so he turned his back to Jiang Muxue and used the ability of his eyes again, and quickly picked out the book to read it.
After such a long delay here, Jiang Zetian hadn't even rushed over, and Jiang Luoan was a little surprised by the efficiency. After checking Jiang Muxue's acupuncture points again, Jiang Luoan left her in the basement and left all the way unimpeded.
On the other side, the guards of the library were in a hurry to report to the head of the house that the entrance to the basement had been broken by the two of them. But when he rushed to Jiang Zetian's residence, he was told that the head of the family was cultivating, and no one who came was gone.
Thinking that the two men were still there, the caretaker begged, "Just let me see the head of the house, I really have something important to report." At that time, if the head of the family surrenders, you and I can't afford it. β
The guards still rejected him coldly, "The head of the family has already said that he doesn't want anyone to disturb him when he is cultivating, even if His Majesty the Emperor comes." You'd better go back. β
The caretaker was helpless, and it wasn't when the head of the family would finish cultivating, so he had to wait at the door.
After a long while, Jiang Zetian's cultivation came to an end and he walked out refreshed.
The caretaker hurriedly stepped forward to report to him, and it was not until he saw Jiang Zetian's face getting worse and worse that he realized that it had been a long time since the two people had found the basement.
He was frightened and helpless, and rushed to the library after Jiang Zetian, only hoping that the two people would be obedient and stand still, and he would be less punished.
Jiang Muxue was thrown into the basement by the acupoint, unable to move. She hoped that the head of the family would come over and rescue her quickly, but she waited until the acupuncture points were naturally unlocked, and no one came.
When Jiang Zetian entered the door, he happened to bump into Jiang Muxue and ran out while wiping her tears. He hurriedly stopped, Jiang Muxue was even more aggrieved, crying to him about what happened to him.
Jiang Zetian also had a headache, Jiang Luoan is now the one protected by the prince, at least on the surface. He didn't dare to punish her too severely, so he could only symbolically let people hit her with a board.
Seeing that the punishment of the person who bullied him so lightly was so light, Jiang Muxue was even more aggrieved. New hatred and old resentment came to her heart, and when she thought of Jiang Luoan, she couldn't wait to bite a mouthful of silver teeth.
Chapter 16 Medical Skills
In order to punish Jiang Luo'an and let out this evil breath, Jiang Muxue decided to start with her backer, the prince Su Chenyu.
It is well known that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is weak and needs to be vigorously recuperated by a physician every day. His Majesty the Emperor also spent a lot of money on seeking medical treatment for him in the people, but to no avail.
Jiang Muxue sent people to spread the news around the city, saying that Jiang Luo'an had been concentrating on medical research recently, and had achieved a lot of results, and was very confident that he would cure the prince, her short-lived fiancΓ©.
If someone volunteers to cure the crown prince, but in the end it makes His Majesty the Emperor happy, I don't know what the consequences will be. Thinking of this, Jiang Muxue smiled a little proudly.
She wasn't too afraid that she would be implicated, Jiang Luoan had a bad impression in everyone's minds before, and everyone thought she was a fool. As soon as this statement came out, everyone would think that she was crazy before she dared to speak outrageously.
Jiang Muxue spread this rumor all over the city, and naturally it also reached Su Chenyu's ears. He sent someone to check a little, and he knew who was behind it.
Su Chenyu asked someone to sort out the medical books of the prince's mansion, and sent people outside to collect all kinds of strange recipes. The people he sent said that Jiang Luo'an's medical skills were really good, and His Royal Highness the Prince's incurable illness had recovered a little under her hands, and his body was not as weak as before, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would personally go to the door to thank him.
After spreading a lot, and seeing the joyful appearance of those people, the people couldn't help but believe it, thinking that Jiang Luoan might really have some kind of guidance from a master, and his medical skills suddenly became superb.
People in the market didn't dare to doubt what the people sent by the prince said, but people close to Su Chenyu were not so easy to believe the rumors. What the prince's condition is, they naturally know it. So many skilled doctors are helpless, where did Jiang Luoan have the ability to recover.
Coupled with Su Chenyu's various blessings to Jiang Luoan some time ago, it is hard not to think that he deliberately said this in front of everyone in response to the news released by someone some time ago.
The news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to personally come to the General's Mansion to thank Jiang Luo'an was spreading, and everyone wanted to see if it was really true. Su Chenyu did not disappoint them, and really brought a lot of money to come.
Jiang Muxue was so angry that her teeth itched, she wanted to take this opportunity to punish Jiang Luo'an, but she didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to protect her so much.
When Su Chenyu came to the door, she excused herself to be uncomfortable, so she didn't go out to greet her.
As soon as Su Chenyu entered the door, he said that he wanted to see Jiang Luo'an, and Jiang Zetian was also busy pushing her out.
Seeing Jiang Luo'an, Su Chenyu also pretended to salute and thanked her seriously, "Miss Jiang, thanks to your healing, I feel much better recently, and I don't have to keep soaking in the medicine pool as before." β
Jiang Luoan returned the salute, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to thank him, it is also my blessing to be able to share his worries for His Royal Highness the Prince." β
Looking at her crepe appearance, Su Chenyu couldn't help but tease. He deliberately put his hand on Jiang Luo'an's shoulder, ignoring everyone's shocked eyes, and said affectionately: "Miss Jiang doesn't want to take me to your residence to have a look, I want to know how much medical skills Miss Jiang has studied, and she has practiced the medical skills that are now superb." β
Jiang Zetian wanted to stop him immediately. Although the two of them have already made a marriage, Jiang Luoan has not yet passed the door after all. If he wanted to go to the boudoir of an unmarried woman, it would not be very glorious to say it.
But when Su Chenyu said this, there was no room for him to object. Jiang Zetian did not dare to stop it.
Jiang Aotian has been concentrating on cultivation since he took that pill, and he usually doesn't go out. This time, he knew that Su Chenyu was coming, and he deliberately ended his cultivation in advance, but he still couldn't go out to greet him.
Su Chenyu was very polite to him, and he still had to ask Jiang Luoan for the time being.
Jiang Luoan saw that Su Chenyu wanted to take this opportunity to talk to her alone, so he persuaded his father to hurry up and cultivate.
He Luo stood guard outside the door to prevent anyone from approaching the courtyard, while Su Chenyu and Jiang Luoan went into the house to talk in detail.
"Jiang Luoan, how is your eye ability cultivating now?" As soon as he entered the door, Su Chenyu asked.
Jiang Luoan said: "There has been some progress. I've now learned to use it to penetrate some foreign objects and see directly into the core. β
Su Chenyu nodded, "Yes, your progress is quite fast." Hurry up and cultivate, I'm counting on you to use your abilities to find out where the curse has been placed on me, so that I can cast a spell to lift it. β
"Okay, then I'll take your pulse now." As he spoke, Jiang Luoan was about to grab his wrist.
As soon as her fingertips touched Su Chenyu's arm, he grabbed it and buckled it behind her. Su Chenyu leaned closer and said, "It's useless, I can't see anything at all." β
He tilted his head slightly, "I still need you to look at it with your heart." β
Hearing his laughter, Jiang Luoan felt that he was being teased, and he raised his foot to kick him. Su Chenyu let go of her hand first, and floated away while smiling.
"Lord, are you in a good mood today?" He Luo asked after him.
Su Chenyu looked at him, "Why do you say this?" β
"I see the Lord smiling very happily today." He Luo answered honestly.
Su Chenyu restrained his smile, "Have I been unhappy for a day?" Just do it well and don't think too much. β
The Lord is hard-mouthed, He Luo is silent, but he silently slanders in his heart.
Seeing off the crown prince, Jiang Zetian announced to everyone a major event in recent days. The days of hunting and cultivating, which only have a few opportunities a year, are just around the corner. At this time of year, each family sends its best children to participate in the hunting meeting.
This conference is not only for hunting and cultivation, but also a good time for young juniors to establish their prestige in front of everyone and shine. In the past, there were always elders taking the lead in front of various major events, and it was difficult for juniors to be in the limelight. And this kind of hunt is held to encourage the juniors.
Jiang Muxue had bad thoughts again. She quietly leaned in Jiang Zetian's ear and whispered, "My lord, why don't you let Jiang Luoan go with you this time." I hope she hasn't participated in it before, but this time I have to give her a chance. β
Jiang Zetian knew what she was thinking, but he was a little scrupled about Jiang Chip. In case Jiang Luoan was injured inside, Jiang Chip would definitely come forward to accuse him.
"Master of the house, the last time I was in that basement, when Jiang Luo'an ordered my acupoint, his movements were called alert. If you don't let her go this time, maybe she will sue you again in front of the prince, saying that you won't give her a chance. β
Jiang Zetian was moved by her, "As long as she agrees, let her go too." β
