Chapter Seventy-Seven: Cheap Daddy's Visit
Lan Ruoxuan frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Queen Mother, Nanzhao's Gu art is amazing in the world, just now the Chu Warlock has already said that in addition to using the blood of the Queen Mother to suppress it, othersββ"
Song Jinyan was listening on the side, but he suddenly spoke, stopped Lan Ruoxi's words, and said, "Ruoxuan, you stop", turned to look at Kou Shu with complicated eyes, and said, "Does the queen have any other ideas?" β
Kou Shu's eyes rolled slightly, but she motioned to Song Jinyan to let everyone stand back.
Song Jinyan frowned, waved his hand slightly, and in the huge dormitory, only the lying Queen Mother, Song Jinyan, Kou Shu and Lan Ruoxuan were left.
"Queen, there are only a few of us now, if you have any ideas, just say it." Song Jinyan said.
Kou Shu nodded, and suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is willing to take the initiative to retrieve the other medicinal materials needed to relieve the Tiantong Gu, so as to completely relieve the heart disease of everyone in this harem." β
Lan Ruoxuan's eyes widened in shock, everyone knew that the medicinal materials needed to relieve the Tiantong Gu were extremely rare, so much so that even if Song Jinyan spoke, he didn't find all the medicinal materials, and why did Kou Shu boast about Haikou and say that he could find other medicinal materials.
Song Jinyan also frowned, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes: "Queen, the few flavors of medicinal materials that are still lacking now are the Hundred Ghost Heavenly Eye and the Sun Demon Lotus, both of which are extremely rare and rare, and the Sun Demon Lotus has never even been heard of by me, so that there is nowhere to start, does the queen really have a way to find it?" β
Kou Shu's heart froze, and she nodded: "The emperor can rest assured, the concubines have their own methods." β
Lan Ruoxuan still wanted to say something, but just wanted to speak, but the conversation was interrupted by Song Jinyan, only to see Song Jinyan tilt her head slightly, looking at Kou Shu's determined expression, a smile flashed in her eyes, and asked, "Is what the queen said seriously?" β
Kou Shu smiled, and an extremely confident and bright smile bloomed on her face: "Of course it's true." β
Song Jinyan nodded: "How much time does the queen need?" β
Kou Shu stretched out two fingers: "Two months." β
Song Jinyan shook his head, Yan Yi and the others had been looking for more than half a year, but they still couldn't find the traces of the two-flavored Hundred Ghost Heavenly Eye and the Sun Demon Lotus: "I will give you three months." β
Lan Ruoxuan frowned: "Your Majesty, the status of the queen mother is precious, not to mention the daily routine lectures, sacrificial ceremonies and other ceremonial activities, all of which are indispensable for the queen mother to attend, if it isββ"
Kou Shu looked at Lan Ruoxuan with a smile and said, "Senior sister, don't worry, when it really comes to the time when the palace needs to come forward, the palace will naturally come back." It's a daily harem trivial, and the younger sister needs to worry more about the palace. "Kou Shu rarely changed Lan Ruoxuan as a junior sister. Suddenly speaking, Lan Ruoxuan only felt that some hairs stood up slightly.
On the second day, the queen mother took the initiative to go to the Wangu Temple to pray for the queen mother's blessing. The Queen Mother was disturbed by Gu poison, and now she is sick and weak, and she needs to be well raised. As the queen of the emperor, Kou Shu took the initiative to pray for the queen mother on behalf of the emperor and pray for the queen mother to live longer.
In Changle Palace, Mandarin Duck and Ripple were busy helping Kou Shu with some luggage. The mandarin duck's face was full of worries: "Niangniang, do you really want to find that medicinal herb?" β
Kou Shu smiled faintly and did not answer.
Ripple also wrinkled a bitter melon-like face, and said with a worried face: "The slave maid heard that those medicinal materials are all unheard of, where are you going to find them, Niangniang, or we can talk to the emperor, right?" β
Kou Shu smiled: "If I don't leave, will I let that Nanzhao Warlock cut his veins and bleed every day?" β
Ripple's face turned pale, and he argued, "That can't beβ"
"Okay," Kou Shu comforted: "I am still a little sure of this matter, you don't have to worry too much, with Yuan Shao and Yuan Ming following me, you can help me keep an eye on the affairs in the palace." β
Hearing this, Yuan Shao nodded, and said, "Niangniang, the news that my brother just came, Yuan Song's side is also ready." β
Kou Shu nodded, this time when she travels by herself, there are not many people, Ripple does not know martial arts, and Mandarin Ducks can only use some simple self-defense techniques, and they can't help themselves when they go out of the palace, but they can help themselves pay more attention to the movements in the palace in the palace.
"Queen Mother-" Su Peiyuan's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Enter." Kou Shu replied.
When Su Peiyuan heard this, he pushed the door in, saw Kou Shu, saluted, and said respectfully: "Queen Mother, the emperor has a few words, let the slave come and talk to you." β
Kou Shu nodded, motioned for Mandarin Duck and Ripple to bring the others in the palace down, and said, "If your father-in-law has anything to say, just say it." β
Su Peiyuan saluted and said, "The emperor asked the servants to say that the emperor will send someone to secretly protect and assist the mother on this trip." That person will also tell the queen mother about the progress of the search for medicinal herbs now, so that the mother can find clues. β
Kou Shu smiled, but the meaning in his eyes was unclear, Song Jinyan's move was to protect himself, and secondly, he probably wanted to see what ability he had to find those few medicinal herbs, but it was okay, since he really stopped this, he had the confidence to do things well. Take this opportunity to let Song Jinyan know that she is the daughter of the Kou family, and she is not an embroidered pillow.
As soon as Su Peiyuan walked on his front foot, a ghostly figure slowly floated towards Kou Shu, Yuan Ming's technique was extremely fast, and a cold light was entangled with the figure, and the two were entangled together in a blink of an eye, inseparable from each other.
Kou Shu stood aside and looked at it coldly for a while, the two of them have now passed about fifty moves, and they are still inseparable, Yuan Ming's kung fu is known to him, and the strength of the manpower trained by his father is definitely not to be underestimated, but this person is not inferior. Kou Shu saw it in her eyes, and couldn't help but secretly admire it in her heart.
After standing and watching for a while, Kou Shu's voice slowly sounded: "Yuan Ming, stop, he is the person sent by the emperor to protect me." β
Yuan Ming's figure was stunned, and then he stopped.
Seeing that Yuan Ming stopped, the man was also able to restrain the blade, stepped forward and knocked down on one knee in front of Kou Shu, and said: "I have seen the queen mother, in Xia Yanyi, she is one of the emperor's secret guards, this time the queen mother secretly traveled to find medicinal materials, and she will secretly protect the queen mother throughout the whole process." β
"Hmph-" When Yuan Ming heard this, he squinted his eyes and snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with Yan Yi for robbing his job.
Kou Shu nodded, regardless of Yuan Ming's expression, and said, "I heard that you have already had some eyebrows about the Hundred Ghost Heavenly Eye when you were looking for other medicinal materials before, so make it clear to me now." β
Yan nodded, and told Kou Shu the news about the Hundred Ghost Heavenly Eye and the Sun Demon Lotus one by one.
Chapter 78: The Extremely Cold Land
It was already unusually cold in winter, and coming to this extremely cold place of ice and snow made Kou Shu feel that her whole person was going to freeze.
Yuan Ming on the side also dragged heavy steps: "Master, is that Hundred Ghost Heavenly Eye really in this place?" It's snowy everywhere, and there are no herbs at all. β
Yuan Ming was originally a person in the rivers and lakes, and he was used to calling Kou Yunwu the master, and he had to call Kou Shu his mother in the palace.
Kou Shu frowned, Song Jinyan's news, this medicine is in this place, he is under the Qingcheng Gate, he has followed the master to find all kinds of herbs since he was a child, and he knows that the more precious the herbs, the more they grow in strange places, and the hundred ghost heavenly eyes are strange grasses in the world, I am afraid it is not so simple.
The master once said that the Hundred Ghost Heavenly Eye is a unique grass, and only one will appear in one place, and it must grow in an extremely steep and dangerous place. Kou Shu looked around and saw a steep snow-capped mountain standing in front of her in the distance.
"Yuan Ming, you go up and take a look at the snow mountain." Kou Shu saw the mountain peak in front of her and spoke.
When Yuan Ming heard this, he barely lifted his strength, tried his best to transport his internal force, and went towards the snow-capped mountain, and after a while, Yuan Ming turned around and reported back and forth: "Master, the mountain in front is not high, but it is a little steep, but many branches on the mountain are broken, if you want to climb up, it may not be easy." β
Kou Shu shook her head, "We have to find a high ground to go up first." β
"Butβ"
"Hmph-" Yan Yi on the side smiled coldly, revealing a trace of disdain in his tone: "What does Niangniang mean, only by finding a high ground can we see the terrain we are in now, otherwise it is freezing now, are we wandering around in this snow?" β
Yan Yi and Yuan Ming have been on the same page since they met, and they don't know how many times they have faced each other like this along the way. Kou Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this, and mediated from it: "Okay, now our plan, we have to figure out the topography of this place first, that hundred ghosts have a lonely nature, if they are really here, they must be in an extremely dangerous and steep place, and they need to see the terrain clearly to guess where they are." β
Overcast clouds obscured the sky, and the sky was gray. The wind and snow whirred, rolling up the white snow floc in the sky and scattering in the air, first out of the particularly bleak and bleak scene.
In the snow, a red herb stands out.
Kou Shu was slightly puzzled in her heart - in the extremely cold place, everything is white, even the hundred ghost heavenly eyes she is looking for, according to the records in the book, are in the shape of pale green stems with white leaf petals, and there is actually a fiery red thing here, which is really incredible.
Kou Shu slowly approached, only to see that the plant was a very rare single leaf and single flower, the very small petals were wrapped in thick black stamens, and the straight stalks stood in the snow.
Kou Shu approached carefully, trying to search the memory of this herb in his mind, but it was a blank, he had dabbled in the Qingcheng Gate quite extensively, but he had never seen this thing in a book.
Yuan Ming also approached later, looking at this strange herb, his eyes showed puzzlement: "Master, this is the Hundred Ghost Heavenly Eye?" β
Kou Shu shook her head, the Hundred Ghost Heavenly Eye was not a red strain.
Yan Yi had a calm face on the side, as if he was thinking deeply about something. Kou Shu tilted her head slightly, noticed Yan Yi's expression, and said, "Yan Yi, do you know something, just say it if you have anything to say." β
Yan Yi lowered his head, a flash of extremely fast light flashed in his eyes, and then pulled out the arrow in his waist and pointed it straight at Kou Shu. There was an unprecedented vigilance and coldness in his eyes.
Kou Shu was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, Yuan Ming behind her quickly pulled out her soft sword and snorted coldly: "I knew you had bad intentions." With that, his figure flashed, and he stepped forward very quickly and struggled.
Yuan Ming was even more angry, and drank: "What do you have in mind to follow us all the way?" β
Kou Shu frowned: "No-" said to Yuan Ming: "Yuan Ming, look behind you!" β
When Yuan Ming heard this, he flashed, and a silver-white wolf was squinting at them. A pair of dark blue pupils emitted a sensense light, and the two long fangs showed an extraordinarily sharp and menacing edge. The wolf raised his head, roared violently into the sky, kicked his two hind feet, jumped upwards violently, and pounced on Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming was caught off guard, and hurriedly retreated two steps, Yan Yi's long sword was picked up, separating Yuan Ming and the silver wolf, and then the sword edge turned and slashed straight towards the silver wolf.
The silver wolf, however, seemed to have spirituality, reacted very quickly and stepped back, let out a terrifying roar in a low voice, and his eyes were even more fierce, and a pair of sharp claws firmly grasped the ground, and once again gathered strength to pounce.
"Ahh
Yan Yi's body burst into flames, raised his sword and slashed towards the silver wolf, the silver wolf's body was extremely vigorous, flashing left and right, and avoided Yan Yi's several moves in a row. At this moment, Yuan Ming saw the opportunity, waved the soft sword in his hand in pain, and the sword sank into the wolf's belly, and instantly gushed out gurgling blood, splashing Yuan Ming's body full of blood.
The silver wolf's eyes rolled and he fell down unwillingly.
Kou Shu made up his mind before saying, "Yuan Ming, how are you hurt?" β
After receiving the golden medicine handed over by Yan Yi, a trace of shame flashed in Yuan Ming's eyes: "Did you see the silver wolf before you drew your sword?" β
Yan nodded a little, but his head was biased towards the fiery red herbs on the ground, and said: "This herb is called Hongdan Tianxian, I also accidentally learned about this, this herb is a very rare herb that grows in the extremely cold place, this medicine is extremely powerful, wherever there is this medicine, there will definitely be fierce beasts infested." β
Kou Shu nodded: "That's why you will take precautions in advance." β
Yan nodded slightly, and then said: "It's just that if there is a Red Pill Heavenly Immortal here, there will definitely be no Hundred Ghost Heavenly Eyes." β
Kou Shu was silent, indeed, such an extremely rare herb, a single plant needs to absorb a large amount of the essence of heaven and earth aura, if there is already a red pill heavenly immortal here, there will definitely be no more hundred ghost heavenly eyes. Although I didn't accomplish my purpose this time, I accidentally found another extremely precious herb, which was also a reward.
Yan Yi was also a little physically exhausted at the moment, and he barely helped Yuan Ming up, and the group was just about to leave, when suddenly, Kou Shu felt a chill from head to toe.
Around them, there was originally a vast white snow, but now, it was surrounded by wolves, and as far as the eye could see, at least a dozen wolves surrounded them, and each wolf's eyes were shining with a glowing green light.
