Footsteps approached.

Jiang Yanlu didn't have time to think about it, and dragged Qi Yue to hide in the glove cabinet in front of him.

There is a lot of space in this glove cupboard.

A baffle in the middle separates the upper and lower floors.

The top floor was full of debris, but the bottom was empty, and nothing was placed.

It just so happened that Jiang Yanlu and Qi Yue could hide inside.

The only downside is that the space on the lower level of this utility cabinet is relatively small.

If you hide from someone, it's more than enough.

But there were two people hiding inside, and it was obviously crowded.

Especially after the two cabinet doors were closed from the inside.

Jiang Yanlu felt that his whole body was curled up in Qi Yue's arms.

The space of the glove cabinet is almost airtight.

Jiang Yanlu could clearly smell the clean and good-smelling fresh breath of the little junior brother, and felt the warm breath he sprinkled on his ears.

Like a feather sweeping, there was an itch.

Jiang Yanlu couldn't help but shrink his neck, wanting to move to the side a little.

She had just moved, and she was fixed in her arms by Qi Yue's raised hand.

The young man's deep voice fell softly: "Don't move. ”

Jiang Yanlu's back was completely half attached to Qi Yue's chest.

The next moment, the door of the pharmacy was opened from the outside.

Jiang Yanlu looked outside through the gap in the cabinet door, and by the moonlight, he saw the second elder walking in from the outside.

She wondered.

Shouldn't the second elder be in Junfu Building at this time? Why did you come back at this point in time?

The door of the medicine hall was not closed, and Jiang Yanlu saw another young disciple follow him and walk in from the outside.

Duan Yuanbai?

Why did he come over too?

Duan Yuanbai said: "Uncle Shi, if you need something, send your nephew to the pharmacy to get it, why do you have to come here again." ”

The second elder's eyes swept around the medicine courtyard and said with a smile: "Get used to it." ”

His eyelids had been jumping all night, and he always felt that something bad was about to happen.

Only then did I find an excuse to take something and come back to take a look.

Duan Yuanbai was arranged by the Great Elder in Junfu Building.

The Great Elder was still worried about the poison in their bodies, but it was inconvenient for him to come forward at this juncture, so he sent his own disciple to help the Second Elder by the way.

Duan Yuanbai was used to following the Great Elder and running errands for him.

Naturally, he couldn't let the Second Elder come back alone to get his things.

The second elder politely refused to no avail, so he let him come with him.

He turned on the lamp, and his eyes swept around the pharmacy, but he didn't see anything suspicious, wondering if he was too worried.

He casually took a medicine bottle and said to Duan Yuanbai with a smile: "I got it, let's go back." ”

The two came suddenly, and they left suddenly.

The lights are turned off.

The entire space was once again plunged into darkness, and the silence around it was audible as a pin dropped.

Jiang Yanlu held his breath, his peach blossom eyes looked through the crack in the door, watching the door of the pharmacy being closed, listening to the footsteps that were gradually moving away, and breathed a sigh of relief.

She was about to push open the door and go out to take a breath.

Qi Yue suddenly spoke: "Wait." ”

Jiang Yanlu's movements stopped, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Qi Yue: "What's wrong?" ”

Qi Yue put his hand on a wooden board behind him: "I seem to have touched a mechanism." ”

Jiang Yanlu's beautiful eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked, "Huh?" Where is it? ”

She grabbed Qi Yue's arm with her fingers, crossed his shoulder, and looked behind him.

But nothing was seen.

The girl suddenly took the initiative to stick to it, and the quiet cold fragrance broke into the tip of his nose.

Qi Yue's Adam's apple slid down, afraid that she would hit the baffle above her head, so she raised her hand to block it, and asked, "It seems that the mechanism can be pressed, do you want to press it?" ”

Jiang Yanlu nodded: "Press it." ”

Click.

A slight noise rang out in the glove cupboard.

As soon as Qi Yue's hand on the wooden board was withdrawn, the utility cabinet suddenly rotated one hundred and eighty degrees.

He subconsciously protected Jiang Yanlu in his arms and was always on alert.

Click-

The glove cabinet is automatically fixed and no longer rotates.

Jiang Yanlu pushed open the two cabinet doors and walked out of them with Qi Yue.

Ever-bright lanterns are lit on both sides of the stone wall.

Jiang Yanlu saw a stone staircase leading to the underground.

"Let's go down and have a look."

＊

The entrance of Junfu Building.

The Second Elder of the Hundred Medicine Valley was about to go in with Duan Yuanbai, and his eyelids suddenly jumped violently again,

Inexplicably, he retracted his steps, turned his head and walked back.

Seeing this, Duan Yuanbai wanted to follow up again: "Uncle Shi, where are you going?" ”

The second elder's tone did not have the patience at the beginning, and he didn't look back, and dropped a sentence: "I have something to do, you don't have to come with me." ”

Duan Yuanbai stopped.

The second elder barely stopped and went straight to his pharmacy.

He vigorously pushed the door open, this time without even holding the light, and walked in the direction of the utility cabinet familiarly, opened the two cabinet doors, and got in.

——

Jiang Yanlu had already arrived with Qi Yue to the underground secret room of the Second Elder of the Hundred Medicine Valley.

The secret room is very spacey.

Inside, there were nearly a hundred young girls who were no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.

Half of their bodies were buried in rectangular patches of soil, branches of varying thickness pricking out of their soft skin and spiraling and growing.

Like the woman Jiang Yanlu saw in the "Wonderland", all of them had an extremely precious spiritual plant in their hearts.

The difference is.

The girl's eyes were closed, and there was no expression on her pale face, but there was almost inaudible breathing.

They lay there as if they were in a tomb.

The strange fragrance that rushed to the sky came to his nose, choking Jiang Yanlu's eyes reddened.

- You think you've calculated everything, used the purple cloud banner that can create illusions, attracted them all, and if you were poisoned, you could rescue your sisters. But you don't know what a praying mantis is, catching cicadas, and yellow finches are behind.

- If this hadn't happened today, I would have forgotten that the Second Elder's detoxification technique was also famous back then.

——Every once in a while, the second elder would take the people of the Hundred Medicine Valley to remote villages to give free diagnosis and treatment to those who were lonely and helpless.

The words I heard before kept repeating them again and again.

Jiang Yanlu stood here, unable to speak for a long time.

Qi Yue said coldly:

"Planting spiritual plants on living people is a forbidden technique in the Divine Domain called 'Heartland'."

"It is said that this forbidden technique requires the young woman who has not yet left the cabinet to soak in a special potion for 7749 days."

"During this time, they will also be given a special strange pill every day."

"It is used to improve the physique and make them the best petri dish for the spirit plant."

"After that, we put the seeds in their bodies and bury them in the soil."

"The seed will absorb the nutrients from their bodies, take root and sprout in their bodies, and finally break out of the heart, hence the name, the heart."

"Under this planting method, the spirit plants that are extremely difficult to survive will also grow successfully."

"The day the spiritual vegetation is plucked from the mouth of the heart, is the day they die."

Jiang Yanlu looked at their faces, and his voice cooled down: "The second elder of the Hundred Medicine Valley, how could he know about the forbidden technique of the Divine Domain?" ”
