The witch maiden's clothes fluttered, and she walked slowly past Tu Qitang and Liu Ye gracefully, her emerald eyes always looking ahead, as if she didn't notice their presence.

Liu Ye's eyes followed her, watching her walk to the center of the temple gate, facing the night sky, raising her hands high, and chanting an incomprehensible incantation in her mouth. Later, several of the shrine maiden's followers walked through the crowd with water bottles in their hands, pouring the antidote into their mouths.

The people who had erupted in their nature came to their senses, their clothes had been put in order, and the gems that had been pried off were returned to their original places. The faithful's ability to restore the scene is even more powerful than Interpol's, and the messy hall a few minutes ago now looks even cleaner than before.

As Tu Qitang said, when the people who took the elixir of bliss woke up, they all thought that they had a very happy dream and were very satisfied. The dream was so real that their bodies were still trembling with excitement, and every time they took the elixir given by the witch, they could experience the ultimate happiness in the world, how could they be willing to give up this wonderful feeling, they firmly believed that it was the power of faith.

The king and queen were so reverent of the shrine maiden's divine might that they were so grateful and pious that they personally sent the shrine maiden away.

The crowd groveled and waited for the shrine maiden to step out of the palace, until the shadow of the last believer was no longer visible, and then they stretched their muscles and stood up and retreated.

The minister on Liu Ye's right hand returned to his usual unsmiling appearance, he saw that the corners of other people's eyes and eyebrows were filled with satisfaction, but he couldn't remember his dream, he just wondered why his nose kept bleeding. He walked past Liu Ye, his eyes did not squint, as if he was a serious person.

Liu Ye felt incredible, the medicinal power of the Elixir of Bliss was really powerful, and it actually made people completely addicted to it, if she drank that glass of wine unguardedly, she would not be killed by the witch! Thinking of this, a chill rushed up his spine, and cold sweat broke out on his back, Liu Ye pretended to be calm, glanced at Tu Qitang, who was a little distracted, and reminded: "It's getting late, go back and rest." ”

Tu Qitang nodded, and a smile spread on his lips: "Okay, let's go." ”

Tu Qitang's tone was free, but there was still a bit of indifference in those gray eyes, this indifference was aimed at the witch, Liu Ye knew it, because she also had similar feelings, and she intuitively felt that the witch was not a good type.

Qiuzi's attendant led the way in front with a lantern, Liu Ye and Tu Qitang walked side by side, the night sky was cloudy, and there was not the slightest moonlight. On this moonless night, they were relatively silent along the way, each thinking about their own thoughts.

Walking out of the corridor, the attendants split their ways, intending to take them to their respective dormitories. At this time, the long-awaited medicine gourd, Shi Zhong and Chang Hui stepped forward, and the medicine gourd looked at Tu Qitang with deep eyes, and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, can you move a step." ”

Shi Zhong and Chang Hui blocked Tu Qitang's way left and right, and Tu Qitang smiled knowingly: "I don't have room to say no." ”

The attendant didn't know what to do, so he didn't have time to ask for instructions, so he followed them on his own initiative, Tu Qitang waved his hand and dismissed: "Okay, you can escort the princess, and I'll go over by myself later." ”

The attendant who had been instructed did not insist, returned to Liu Ye's side, and took her to the dormitory. Tu Qitang was invited to talk by the medicine gourd, Liu Ye was both curious and puzzled, and it was inconvenient to ask more questions in front of the Qiuzi attendant, and the eyes of the teacher told her that she could rest assured that she believed him.

The medicine gourd walked in front with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to speak, Tu Qitang followed him to a secluded corner, seeing that he didn't mean to stop, he simply took the initiative to say: "Old gourd, if you have something to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush." ”

"Well, happy! Old man, I don't know the severity of what I say, if there is any offense, please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince! Yao Hulu nodded and smiled, turned to face him, the night was very thick, and he couldn't see the outline of his facial features clearly, and he couldn't see his expression.

Tu Qitang said "um" disapprenosingly, he didn't expect the medicine gourd to be able to say anything about the general importance of knowledge, so naturally he wouldn't have the same knowledge as him. Although I don't know the origin of the medicine gourd, judging from the reactions of Liu Ye and others, this old guy is also a pivotal character.

The medicine gourd took a few steps closer, carefully identifying his appearance by the faint light, sometimes widening his eyes, sometimes shaking his head and sighing, before Tu Qitang couldn't bear to break out, he blurted out: "What is your relationship with the Bright Moon Holy Maiden of the Xiling Sect?" ”

Tu Qitang's heartstrings trembled, his head buzzed, and he couldn't open his mouth for a while. It wasn't that he was slow to answer, but he never expected an unrelated person to ask such a question at this moment.

"Y-Who are you?" Tu Qitang forced himself to calm down, but his words were trembling, like a dying old man who was about to reach his limit.

Yao Hulu narrowed his eyes slightly, not in a hurry to answer, wanting to see the panicked look on Tu Qitang's face, so as to confirm the speculation in his heart.

Without waiting for the medicine gourd to speak, Tu Qitang suddenly sneered, turned around to avoid his gaze, and teased: "Don't think that you know much about the Xiling Sect? What if you've heard of the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, do you want to pretend to be the sect leader who has been missing for many years? ”

This kid should not be underestimated, he can come up with a countermeasure in such a short time, but the army will disturb his thoughts, the medicine gourd secretly admired. It is rumored in the outside world that the Xiling Sect Master has gone crazy in practice, and before the new sect leader is elected, the affairs of the sect will be handled by the Bright Moon Holy Maiden. But the truth is that the sect leader has disappeared, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Tu Qitang knew this secret, which shows that he has a deep relationship with the Xiling Sect, and may even be an important figure in the sect.

Tu Qitang threw this bombshell, and in turn tested the depth of the medicine gourd, which had to make people sigh and be terrible. Now that Tu Qitang is on guard, the medicine gourd knows that he can't inquire about anything, and the relationship between the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon and Tu Qitang may only be a mystery.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is indeed a loyal Xiling Sect disciple, you know that the sect leader is not suddenly killed but disappeared, is there a master to guide you? I think your master may be the famous Bright Moon Holy Maiden! The medicine gourd stroked his beard and smiled, and walked around to Tu Qitang, of course, he saw a non-waveless expression.

Tu Qitang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said mockingly: "You are not a disciple of the Xiling Sect, don't you also know this secret!" A secret that even you know is no longer a secret. The Xiling Sect is in the territory of Anxi, and rumors about the sect leader abound, so in order to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause chaos, it is necessary for the royal family to find out the ins and outs. It's a pity that there is still no definite result until now, but the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon has managed well, and the Xiling Sect is more united than before, and no one has taken the opportunity to make trouble. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the sect leader is dead or alive. As for my relationship with the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, I said it doesn't matter, but you don't believe it, since that's the case, why bother with it! ”

Yao Hulu lowered his head and pondered, as if he was pondering how much credibility his words had, but Tu Qitang was not in the mood to ponder with him, and said, "What, what else do you have to say?" ”

It's all said and done, it's really pedantic to chase the medicine gourd again, even if you ask and ask, you can't ask why, maybe it will anger Tu Qitang and cause unnecessary trouble.

"No, His Royal Highness the Prince is willing to say so much to an old man, it's not easy, old man, I don't dare to think about it anymore, delay you for so long, please go back and rest!" The medicine gourd said politely, and turned sideways to make a way.

Tu Qitang was not in a hurry to go back, and looked at the medicine gourd: "You have nothing to say, but I have something to say." Gifts, I can't ask you a question, right? ”

The medicine gourd was stunned: "You have a question for me?" No, my old man, you're interested, too? ”

Tu Qitang smiled slightly: "Why do you think I have a relationship with the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon?" So, what is my relationship with her? I'm interested in how you could have asked such a question for no reason, but I would like to know what your origins are, and what is your purpose in snooping into the royal family and the Tomb Religion? ”

The medicine gourd secretly screamed bitterly, this kid is not enough to be an army, but also to make him completely embarrassed, the medicine gourd spread his hands and pretended to be pitiful: "Oh, what can my old man do, the old man's brain is also confused." Aren't you angry with that subordinate, he keeps saying how great the Moon Holy Maiden is, how sacred the Xiling Sect is, I can't be convinced no matter how much I think about it, old man! You have also seen it, how terrible the monsters who practice magic skills are, they can eat people, how can you tell me that the Lingjiao is not a cult! But you have also argued before, you said that the Xiling Sect is very decent, and the members of the sect are all honest people, so how do you explain the monster eating people? The monster is practicing the kung fu of the Xiling Sect! ”

"It's called spreading falsehood!" Tu Qitang came to a simple and clear conclusion, "Who said that the monster practiced the kung fu of the Xiling Sect?" I've been resting in peace for so many years, and I've never heard of a man-eating monster, and hearsay rumors can be taken seriously? Old gourd, I think you are really old and confused, I can not pursue your slander against the Xiling Holy Sect, but if you insist on spreading rumors without repentance, I will never let you go. You should be glad that this is in Qiuzi, if you dare to say such a rebellious thing in peace, you don't need me to speak, thousands of Xiling sect members will regard you as an enemy. ”

The medicine gourd shrank his head, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, I know that I am wrong, I am old and confused, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have a lot, don't be like me old foolish!" I made a statement before I spoke, old man, I don't know the importance of what I said, if there is any offense, please forgive His Royal Highness the Prince, you also agreed, do you want to regret it now? ”

"Don't talk nonsense in the future, otherwise, when you become the target of public criticism, it will be difficult for me to protect you." Tu Qitang glanced at him faintly and walked away.

"Yes, yes......" The medicine gourd kept nodding yes, watching Tu Qitang walk away, flattening his mouth, snorting lightly, and muttering to himself, "Stinky boy, it's just that he can speak well, what is so majestic, it will scare people!" Wait for the old man, I'll find the evidence, and see what else you have to say, phew! ”

Tu Qitang hurried back to the dormitory, dismissed all the attendants, extinguished the lights and candles, and sat alone by the window. The dead darkness surrounded him, and the panic in his heart spread again, Tu Qitang tried to recall Liu Ye's warm embrace, closed his eyes, and thought that Liu Ye was beside him.

He thought he could forget the past, but someone reminded him all the time, whether it was a witch or a medicine gourd, what qualifications did they have to interfere with his life. Damn, really hateful, he is fed up with self-righteous people, he is no longer a puppet controlled by others, why is there always someone reminding him of the past.

Tu Qitang was distraught and smashed a window with his fist, and the attendant who retreated to the outside of the courtyard heard the movement and watched, afraid of Tu Qitang's anger, and hid and did not dare to show up.

Out of nowhere, there was a bleak flute, Tu Qitang narrowed his gray eyes and gritted his teeth, his chest was burning with anger, he jumped out of the window with his fists clenched, jumped over the courtyard wall, and went straight to the flute.
