Chapter 60: The Road Meets a Mad Dog
Shen Yunwan recuperated for more than half a month, and the injuries on his body finally recovered.
During this period, in order to build momentum for Shen Yunjuan, Empress Dowager Zheng returned to the palace ten days ago, and today is the day when she went to Ganlu Temple to offer incense.
Shen Yunwan rushed to Ganlu Temple with Zizhu and Qingyu as planned.
There is a large purple bamboo forest on the mountain behind Ganlu Temple, although the path up the mountain is a little rougher, but it is inaccessible here, and you can smoothly avoid the eyes and ears of others when you go up the mountain from here.
"Girl, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the Queen Mother arranged for Aunt Liu Shuang to send a signal, and we saw the signal and went up the mountain."
"Got it." Shen Yunwan nodded.
It was still early, she was strolling leisurely, and suddenly a small flower in the grass attracted Shen Yunwan's attention.
She walked briskly to the edge of the grass and took out her gloves and put them on herself.
"Girl, what's wrong?"
Zizhu wanted to follow, but was stopped by Shen Yunwan: "Stop, you two just stand there, don't approach." β
Zizhu and Qingyu are both well-trained, and one of Zizhu's feet was about to step on the grass, and when he heard Shen Yunwan's words, the soles of his feet stopped in mid-air.
"Girl, is there anything wrong?"
Even if Zizhu was scolded by Xiao Yeheng's cane, she had been with Shen Yunwan for much longer than Qingyu, so her temperament was also more lively.
"Interesting." Shen Yunwan didn't answer Zizhu's question, but with a smile on his face, he picked the small white flower.
If you don't look closely, this small flower is no different from a roadside wildflower, but if you look closely, you will see that the stamen in the middle is dark red, and if you accidentally touch it, you will be killed immediately.
"Zizhu, is the time agreed by Aunt Liu Shuang at the beginning of the year?" Shen Yunwan put the red heart lotus in a wooden box, and then searched carefully in the grass.
"The girl is not mistaken, it is the beginning of the time." Qing Yu was in charge of liaising with Aunt Liu Shuang, and she nodded affirmatively.
"That's still time." Shen Yunwan squatted down, and sure enough, she found another red heart lotus, which she put in the box.
Since Zizhu studied medicine with Shen Yunwan, she has turned over four or five medical books, but this little flower has never been seen before.
But what can make the girl so cautious means that this flower must contain highly poisonous.
Zizhu couldn't hide her curiosity and asked, "Girl, this purple bamboo forest occasionally has people passing by, how can it grow poisonous flowers?" β
According to the habits of poisonous insects and poisonous weeds, they prefer a relatively humid and hot growth environment, and even poisonous snakes are rare in the capital.
"You're right. This flower is called the red heart lotus, and it is a highly poisonous poison that can kill people instantly. Shen Yunwan picked more than a dozen red heart lotuses in the medicine box in a row, she took off her gloves and stuffed them together.
With her current body, she is naturally invulnerable, but once the toxin of Chixin Lotus is stained in her hand, she must be washed off with honey locust water, and Shen Yunwan is afraid of accidentally hurting others, so she will be so cautious.
"This flower grows in South Vietnam, is the food of the Red Flame Snake, and will appear in the capital unless someone transplants it. And here, here'......"
Shen Yunwan casually pointed to a few ranges: "These places have sprinkled the seeds of the red heart lotus, but these are the only ones that survived." β
"Red Flame Serpent?" Zizhu muttered, "How could anyone raise this kind of snake in the capital?" "The girl said that the venom of a red flame snake can poison a tiger.
"I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with Shen Wanzhu." Shen Yunwan has been busy treating Mrs. Xue during this time, but she forgot about Shen Wanzhu.
Shen Yunwan can be 100% sure that these poisonous flowers are definitely the masterpieces of Shen Wanzhu's master!
"Zizhu, Qingyu, you two come with me, this back mountain, maybe there is a surprise hidden!" Shen Yunwan pursed his lips, and a hint of interest flashed in his peach blossom eyes, which was the hunter's ambition after discovering his prey.
"Girl, do you want to tell the prince?" With the lesson of the last time, Zizhu didn't dare to let Shen Yunwan act without permission anymore.
"Okay, you can send a message to Xiao Yeheng." Shen Yunjuan suffered a lot from Zizhu last time, and he was already guilty, so this kind of trivial matter followed Zizhu.
Zizhu put the whistle to her lips, mimicking the sound of birdsong, and let out a crisp whistle. After a while, a carrier pigeon fell from the sky and landed on Zizhu's shoulder.
She wrote code words on the note with cinnabar, tied the sticker to the pigeon's legs, and raised her hands in the air......
Watching the carrier pigeon flutter its wings and fly away, Shen Yunwan said: "We will act separately, and if we find it, we will send a signal." β
"Girl, the prince has instructed, Qing Yu and I must not leave you half a step, it is better to let Qing Yu act alone, I will follow you."
Zizhu was afraid that Shen Yunwan would not agree, so he knelt on the ground with a "plop".
Shen Yunwan hurriedly said, "Hurry up, I'll let you follow." β
The purple bamboo forest of Ganlu Temple covers a huge area, and Shen Yunwan walked with Zizhu for half an hour, but still did not find anything.
Just when Shen Yunwan was about to give up, she suddenly thought about it, she jumped forward, her light posture was like a bird spreading its wings, and her toes were on a two-zhang high bamboo branch.
"There, Zizhu!"
I saw that in the bamboo forest fifty meters away from here, there stood a thatched house abruptly, and the small courtyard with a fence looked like it had been inhabited.
"Let's go, let's see!" Shen Yunwan and Zizhu both carried light skills.
Zizhu took the lead, holding a soft sword, and walked in front of Shen Yunwan with all his vigilance. Tiptoeing to the gate of the courtyard, Zizhu split the wooden door with a sword and broke into the house with a sword.
"Girl......" Zizhu, who entered the house first, gasped and shouted, "Girl, don't come in!" β
However, it was already too late.
Shen Yunwan walked into the house and saw the scene in the house clearly, only then did he understand why Zizhu's reaction was so violent.
I saw that there were many jars in the house, and some strange-shaped insects were going in and out of the jars, and one of them even climbed onto Zizhu's instep, and Zizhu was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.
"Gu worms? What a novelty! β
In Shen Yunjuan's original world, only evil cultivators would raise Gu worms, and then select cultivators as hosts, absorbing their spiritual power to improve themselves, this evil cultivation method has always been despised by righteous path medical cultivation, and it is an existence that everyone in the cultivation world shouts at.
Shen Yunjuan studied for a long time in order to hunt down this group of scum at that time, and with his supreme cultivation talent, he was more expert than an expert.
Now in the face of this dense group of small things, she squatted down and pinched the small insects on the toes of the purple bamboo shoes with her fingertips, and then, a strange scene happened.
The little insects that came and went freely just now seemed to have encountered natural enemies, and they faded like a tide, and the scalp of Zizhu was numb when they saw it.
"No wonder we will find the Red Heart Lotus, the Red Heart Lotus is used to raise the Red Flame Snake, and then the Red Flame Snake is used as the host of the Gu worm, in order to cultivate a Gu King."
Shen Yunwan saw through the plans of the people behind the scenes at a glance.
"It's a pity that she was unlucky and met me."
Shen Yunwan's fingertips crushed the small insect that was shrunk on his fingertips, and the black liquid dripped on the ground, corroding a small hole.
Zizhu was shocked, and her voice trembled: "Aunt, girl, ......" This is too terrifying!
"Don't be afraid." Shen Yunwan comforted Zizhu while taking out a small bottle from his sleeve.
I saw a small golden insect in the transparent bottle, with four wings and six legs, and a pair of small eyes like mung beans that rotated flexibly.
Shen Yunwan released it, and didn't forget to talk to Zizhu Science: "This insect is called Heavenly King Golden Elytra, and it is the natural enemy of Gu insects. β
As soon as Shen Yunwan's words fell, he saw the Heavenly King's golden sheath fluttering its wings and flying into the tank, and soon the sound of chewing food came out.
Shen Yunwan took out the fire fold, lit it, and threw it into the house.
"Let's go."
"But girl, don't you care about the golden elytra of the Heavenly King?"
Zizhu's face was still snow-white, snow-white, and everything she saw today was beyond her cognition.
"The Heavenly King's golden elytra is inviolable, don't worry, let's go quickly, don't be bumped into." Shen Yunwan sent a signal to Qing Yu and made an appointment to meet outside the purple bamboo forest.
Seeing this, Zizhu hurriedly followed.
"Girl, the slave didn't find anything." Qing Yu said unwillingly.
"It's okay, Zizhu and I have already burned down the thatched hut where the man stayed. You contact Xiao Yeheng and ask him to find someone to guard and see if he can wait for the rabbit. Shen Yunwan said that murder and arson were understated.
"The slave will send a message to the prince."
Qing Yu turned around and left after speaking.
Shen Yunwan retracted his gaze: "The appointed time is coming, let's go to the temple first, don't let Aunt Liu Shuang wait for a long time." β
A master and a servant walked slowly in the direction of the lotus pond, looking no different from the ladies who came to offer incense.
At this moment, an angry roar suddenly came from behind him: "Shen Yunxuan, you stop for me!" β
Shen Yunwan turned his head when he heard the sound, and his bright eyes narrowed slightly.
The person who came was her former fiancΓ©, the scumbag Chu Mingxuan!
How did the other party end up here? And they didn't even bring a minion!
A trace of doubt appeared in Shen Yunwan's heart.
I only heard Chu Mingxuan say: "Follow me to Ganlu Temple, knowing that I only have Wanzhu in my heart, but I am entangled behind my back, Shen Yunxuan, are you so cheap?" β
Chu Mingxuan's eyes were contemptuous, and the corners of his mouth were filled with thick sarcasm.
Until now, Chu Mingxuan didn't believe that Shen Yunwan didn't like him anymore.
Even if Shen Yunwan did not hesitate to break with the Shen family, Chu Mingxuan still thought that Shen Yunwan was trying to capture the old man, and the earth-shaking commotion was just to attract his attention.
As everyone knows, this way will only make me more disgusted with her!
"Shen Yunwan, do you think that if you destroy Wanzhu's reputation, you can replace Wanzhu as the Lady of the Prince? You don't look at yourself if you're worthy! β
Chu Mingxuan sneered, his words were extremely vicious: "A stupid, watery, despicable and shameless slut like you will never be as good as Wanzhu in my heart!" β
Before Shen Yunwan could speak, Chu Mingxuan was like a mad dog, and his appearance was simply overwhelming!
Shen Yunwan glanced at him coldly: "This Ganlu Temple is not opened by your family, good dogs don't get in the way, get out of the way!" β
"Is this your new way of seducing me? Being so vulgar will only make me hate you even more! Chu Mingxuan's brows were furrowed enough to trap a fly.
"If you honestly marry into the Chen Guogong Mansion, my brother-in-law will still be able to treat you as a sister in the future, don't be delusional about the identity that doesn't belong to you!"
Although Shen Yunwan was wearing a veil, Chu Mingxuan couldn't see her face clearly, but a strange feeling appeared in his heart.
It's as if the person in front of you has been reborn.
Realizing that he would have such a ridiculous idea, Chu Mingxuan laughed and said with a cold face: "You go back to the Shen Mansion with me immediately, and tomorrow you will go to the Duchess of Chen Guo to plead guilty." If you make a big mistake, don't think about the position of the young lady of the Chen family, I will intercede with Chen Guogong and let Chen Wenjie carry you as a concubine! β
Chu Mingxuan had a charity-like tone, as if Shen Yunwan would be grateful to Chen Wenjie for being a concubine!
