Chapter 65: Exploring the Ruins at Night

"Master, what do you mean by what you say the emperor does, our Ye Villa will be renamed again." Walking out of the palace, Yuqing and Lao Langzhong discussed.

"What do you mean, I was scared by what happened last night. What does it matter what his name is, he also knows in his heart that so many men have died, and the living can only hate him and not have love. Agreed to your request, which not only saved money but also won hearts and minds. ”

"It's beautiful to think about, so many human lives can be erased by just such a thing. Master, the gates of the city have not yet been opened, so let the way for us lead to you. “

"It's here with the master, but the master didn't want to go out of the city and return to the villa so quickly. The master will take you to the master's house in the imperial city to live until the end of the lockdown, where you can also study medical skills and take the opportunity to visit the imperial city. “

"Master, you still have your own mansion in the Imperial City, I've never heard of you before."

"What is there to say about this, but it is a very small yard, there is an old couple who take care of the yard for me, and the people are very nice but too enthusiastic. I already told them yesterday that it was very convenient to eat and stay. “

"Master, it's really good, I didn't expect the emperor to let us out of the palace so unfrightened, and I thought we would have to endure it in the palace for a few more days."

"Apprentice, it's not easy to enter the palace, and it's even more difficult to let us go, the master knows that your eccentric temperament will definitely not be reconciled, but although there will be no fewer people who let us out of the palace to monitor." The master and apprentice led the big red horse and talked as they walked.

"Master, there are two of us behind, one on the left and one on the right, and we have been following since we left the palace. Going to your yard won't cause any trouble for the master. “

"Apprentice, if you don't go, there will be trouble, we got the ginseng given by the Tai Hospital, and we happened to go to the master's house to refine the medicinal pills. This is Langzhong's habit, and it is better than bringing trouble back to the villa. It's no secret that the master has a house in the imperial city, it's just that the people who live in that area are all people from the Tai Hospital, and the master rarely goes home because he doesn't want to see them. “

"That master must live in Dongcheng, there should be a field of medicinal herbs planted in every yard, and yesterday the apprentice went to Dongcheng to smell of medicinal herbs."

"It's at the junction of the East City and the South City, and it's not expensive or rich. As for the taste, it's not strong yet, and it's only choking in autumn. This place is also known as Taiyi Lane, and everyone who lives in Langzhong is there. The old man laughed.

Lao Langzhong's home is a courtyard with two entrances in the front and back, only a few rooms in the front yard, and the backyard should be a medicine field. Now this season, the fields are also full of dead grass, half buried by snow and half exposed. The people who take care of the yard are the old couple, who are not much younger than the old man.

"Master, you haven't been back for half a year. Some of the herbs in the backyard are harvested and placed in your medicine room. When the palace changed, it was also affected here, but there was nothing valuable except for medicinal herbs, and there was not much loss. The old man saw that Lao Langzhong was back, and hurriedly said loudly.

"It's okay for you to be fine, it's useless to give them those herbs. By the way, this is my closed disciple, have you cleaned up the house for her? “

"Master, what a little girl? Yesterday, I thought the master was telling a joke, thanks to the old slave who cleaned up the best house. Miss, go to your house with the old slave to see, what is lacking old slave, this will be added for you. Leave your master alone, every time he comes back, he goes headlong into the medicine room and tinkers with his flowers and plants. As if those flowers and plants were his wife, old man, hurry out to buy vegetables and cook a delicious meal for the master at noon. The old woman took Yuqing's hand and chattered enthusiastically.

"The hosts, what a welcome. It is estimated that the entire Taiyi Alley will know that your master and apprentice are back at this time, but this old couple is really a good person. Yuyu laughed in her senses.

"The master will not be bad at seeing people, so it is easy to save the people who are not at ease." Yuqing thought in his senses.

"Apprentice, I'll refine the medicine pills with the master in a while, that ginseng has been too old for too long, master, I'll deal with it first." The old man also said loudly.

Lao Langzhong's medicine room is very large, with a wall of herb shelves, and in the center of the room is a stove for boiling medicinal soup and several medicine pots of different sizes. Seeing Yuqing coming in, Lao Langzhong said excitedly: "Apprentice, there is a small warehouse in the back, these herbs are enough for us to use." What kind of pills can you refine? “

"Master, the herbs here can only be used to refine poison or antidote pills. Master, do you want to specialize in this area again? Yuqing looked at the herbs on the medicine shelf and said.

"The master knows that bringing my apprentice over is the smartest thing to do, since I was forced to leave the palace, the master has always wanted to make a name for myself in this field, but unfortunately my qualifications are limited, and now I can only solve some snake venom and insect poison. Most of the herbs planted in the herb fields in the back are also herbs in this area, and not only my imperial doctors are also studying antidote medicines. “

"Master, medical skills are all-encompassing, what is the reason why you all want to study this direction. And there has always been a saying that medicine and poison are not separated, and if the medicine for treatment is not matched correctly, it will become poison. Unless you have a serious intention to harm people, you will specialize in the field of poisons. “

"Apprentice, what you think is far-reaching. If this matter is talked about, it will involve the past of the previous dynasty, Yan is the largest country in this continent, but the surrounding small countries have never coveted it. The war on the border continues, and in the past ten years since the God of War King calmed the border, the people of Yan Kingdom have been at peace. I am afraid that the news of this palace change will soon spread out of the country, and I am afraid that the border will not be peaceful at that time. To the west of the Yan Kingdom, there is a Zhao State, which is located in the mountains and has a cold climate, and the people there are also brave and good at fighting and poisoning. It was still the previous dynasty, and the imperial court had already begun to study detoxification. It's just that our own research in this area has been stranded intermittently in recent years. “

"Master, this is to be prepared for danger in times of peace, poison harming people should not be advocated, but the antidote is still something that must be had. Does the master have any recipe for detoxification? Yuqing asked, and there was a little more reverence for Lao Lang in his heart, an old man who can worry about the country and the people, just this mind is worthy of respect.

The master and apprentice carefully studied the prescription, and it was not until the old woman came over to call for dinner that the discussion ended for half a day.

"Master, according to this new recipe, I will boil a pot in the afternoon and try it out."

"Okay, apprentice, your thinking is wider than that of the master, this prescription is still passed down by the master's master, and the master has not dared to change it after so many years."

"Master, I can only say that we are all kind-hearted and don't want to use poison to harm others, in fact, we just need to think differently."

"Change your mind, master, why didn't I think of it, pedantic!" The old man sighed.

"That's, don't look at where my master came from, master, I exchanged a book of ancient poison scriptures for you in the space, you can take a look." Yuyu seized the opportunity to talk to Yuqing.

"It's very good, it doesn't interfere with your master's thinking, and it's the only one in a museum."

"That's certain, the solitary copy is not allowed to be taken out, and the copy exchanged for the owner is also confidential."

"Thousands of miles away from time and space, your master has no way to leak the secret."

"Master, the metal chariot you want is already being customized, good news, this time your performance value is not a duck egg, but it is only three digits."

"It's okay, when the antidote pill is made, your master and I will be rich again."

In one afternoon, the recipe that Lao Langzhong had studied for more than ten years turned into small pills, waiting to find some small animals to do pharmacological experiments. Night came, and the people who were watching outside also changed.

"Master, rest early, and catch a few mice tomorrow to test the medicinal properties." Yuqing stopped the master's plan to catch mice now.

"Okay, there is a curfew in the Imperial City at midnight, no one is allowed to move on the streets in the second half of the night, if you go out, come back early."

"Master, Yuqing remembers, I'll buy it for the master tomorrow morning and come back early." Yuqing said a word and went back to his room. Lao Langzhong also understood that the apprentice was preparing to not return overnight.

"Master, you take a nap first, and when the time comes, Yuyu will call you to get up."

"Okay, you'll have one more function to make an alarm clock in the future."

"Master, Yuyu, Ba Po, alarm clock, will my name be very long in the future." Yuyu laughed at herself in Yuqing's consciousness, and wanted to say something to see that Yuqing was already asleep.

"The master is up, the master is up......" Yuyu repeated the chime in her consciousness, which reminded Yuqing of the chiming ringtone of her smart watch in modern times, tomb information, tomb information......

Jumping out of the courtyard wall that was not too high in Lao Langzhong, Yuyu reported in his divine sense: "Master, it has been done, and those few people who are watching can sleep until the sun comes out." “

"Very good, no matter who you are, tell them to turn back when you see them."

"Got it, master. From here, the ruined palace is the safest, these courtyards are being repaired, and there is no breath around here. “

"Yuyu, you should also call it a Soul Explorer."

"Master, don't add my name anymore, just call me a universal pen to remember. You were pretending to be asleep just now, and Yuyu didn't dare to talk to you anymore. ”

"If you don't pretend to be asleep, you'll be nagging again. I'll also tell you good news, Miss Ben has also practiced the sixth style of the Jade Girl Feiliu Sword Technique. I just don't know how many styles there are in this set of swordsmanship. ”

"Master, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, you still don't ask me about this universal pen. People still want to be your daughter in the future, but don't tempt me to delay my cultivation. ”

"Sample, your master and I will never marry for the rest of my life, see how you do my daughter."

"Master, don't say anything about it, it's because you haven't met a prince on a white horse."

Yuqing's consciousness teased with the soul pen, and he approached the ruined palace of the god of war all the way safely. Maybe it's the closeness of the hometown, but it is also the family's affection, Yuqing's mood is a little nervous when he arrives here.

"The universal pen, is there a pant in it? Your master, I can't calm down, and I can't feel anything. ”

"Master, the gasping for breath is a hibernating snake and worm. The wall over there has fallen down, and it is safest for you to go in from there, master. ”

Walking into the collapsed palace wall, there are half-human-high barren grass everywhere you look, and the barren grass is blowing in the night wind. Not far away is the gate of the palace, which has been buried more than half of it by the grass. The upper part is still standing firmly, and the auspicious beast carved on the gatehouse overlooks the distance in the moonlight, which can imagine the majestic atmosphere of the palace.

The collapsed house in the barren grass, the rotten tables and chairs extended to the second courtyard. The main house of the second courtyard is still intact, and the wings on both sides are still standing except for the doors and windows that have been rotted by wind and frost. The lock on the door of the main house had obviously been smashed, and the rust was mottled and the dents could be seen.

"Master, why don't you go in and have a look?"

"I'll see later, go to the backyard."

The backyard is the third courtyard, and there are more houses here. The largest is the ancestral hall, and the smaller one is the study. On the other side is a house, Yuqing guessed that this should be the place where the subordinates lived, and there should be a lot of subordinates. The houses here are all intact, but they are all surrounded by wild grass, and even grass and low trees have grown on the ridges of the roofs, and the branches and branches stubbornly stretch out into the night sky in the cold wind.

After turning around the area of the house and reaching the back courtyard, Yuqing figured out that the piece of room just now should be where the guards lived. Because this backyard is a large training ground, there are a few rusty iron spears and a few broken swords on the weapon rack against the wall.

"Master, this should be the place where your father trained his soldiers, and the big study just now..."

"Yuyu, that should be the place where my God of War father will arrange his troops. Let's go inside. ”

The lock in the study was intact, but it was broken by the touch of wind and frost. Walking into the study, there was a map on the wall that was no longer clear, and in the middle of the room was a large sand table, on which large and small stones and wooden strips were placed. There were also more than a dozen dusty chairs on the large table against the wall, and Yuqing sketched in his heart the situation where the god of war father and his subordinates discussed the war here. The stone represents the mountain, the wooden bar should be the river, and his god of war father should be what kind of wise general.

Yuqing's father's appearance has no impression at all, if it weren't for the memory of Grandma, even if he met Yuqing, he wouldn't recognize it. But she was sure in her heart that her father must be a man of iron bones, but unfortunately there was no such thing as a photo to preserve history.

"Master, let's see if there is any secret or something, your God of War father may have left some secrets."

"Yuyu, I have seen every inch of your master here, and there is a secret grid but it has been found to be pried open. Let's go to the ancestral hall next door to have a look, and the searchers found something here that should not disturb the peace of the ancestors. Yuqing looked at the few pieces of bluestone that had obviously been pried open. She had already made another note in her heart, and she would know who this person who came here to search sooner or later.

Turning the portable lamp in one direction, Yuqing saw a bulge in the dust below the dark grid, just between two equally raised footprints.

Pushing away the thick dust, in Yuqing's hand is a jade waist card, one side is engraved with a pattern and the other is a swallow character. Could it be that this is a royal waist card? Yuqing asked to herself.

"Master, are you saying that it is a person surnamed Yan who came here to steal?"
