The courtyard door was not locked, Liu Yunxiang pushed the door in, and stepped on the thick fallen leaves.

It had been a long time since anyone had cleaned it, and even though winter had come, the leaves had fallen, leaving only bare trunks and a deserted yard. Liu Yunxiang stopped here, and suddenly didn't want to go any further, as if it would disturb him.

However, at this time, Zijin came over, still carrying a lantern in his hand, to illuminate this part of the courtyard.

"Hey, this courtyard is in this corner, quiet and elegant, I don't know who lives here." Zijin stepped in first, stepping on the leaves and looking around, "This is a begonia, can you also grow live begonias in this place on the Xizhou Plateau?" ”

Zijin circled around the begonia tree twice, and suddenly thought: "We also have a begonia tree in that private house in Shengjing." ”

Liu Yunxiang sighed slightly, because of that begonia, she and Lu Changan had a lot of opportunities. She hesitated for a moment, walked to the begonia tree, and saw that its body was held with a bracket and plastered with white ash, which showed that Lu Changan was carefully maintained on weekdays.

How many nights have he been isolated here, looking at this begonia, thinking of a person who has no intention of him. I hope God will have mercy on him and give him another life, and don't let him meet her again in that life.

Zijin glanced at the begonia tree a few times, turned to the main room again, pushed the door in, and didn't know what he saw.

"Girl, come here!"

Liu Yunxiang walked over, Zijin had already gone inside, and lit the candlestick in the hall. When Liu Yunxiang entered the door, he saw that the three walls of the hall were all bookshelves, covering the entire wall, and the bookshelves were densely piled with books, plus a table and a chair, there was no other furniture.

There will be no guests here, no outsiders are allowed to enter, and it is a world that belongs to Lu Chang'an.

"I never knew there were so many books in the world." Zijin sighed.

Liu Yunxiang tilted his head and glanced at the east house, "There are still over there." ”

Zijin was busy looking curiously, and couldn't help but wow a few times.

"With so many books, a person can't read them all in a hundred years."

Live for a hundred years?

Liu Yunxiang looked at the bookshelves that were already full of dust, thinking that Lu Changan should have thought about what he looked like when he sat in this room reading when he was gray-haired.

She turned and walked into the West House, where there were no books, but the furnishings were still simple, a bed, a desk, and a chair. It's so simple that it's a little bleak, especially after people go, they feel cold all over their bodies when they enter this house.

The room was neatly tied, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the desk were still the same as when he left. And there is a sandalwood box placed in the middle of the table, which is a little abrupt.

She walked over, picked up the box, and opened it, and saw a hairpin inside.

This bead hairpin......

Liu Yunxiang picked it up and thought about it carefully, only then did she remember that it was the pearl hairpin that she bet on him to win and lose in a polo match in the Zhenguo Mansion that year.

I don't want to be in his hands, and he's kept it.

There is no fate, there is no fate, there is no solution. Liu Yunxiang sighed, put the bead hairpin back, and then put the sandalwood box back as well. Just as he was about to turn away, he saw a piece of paper pressed under the inkstone.

It seems to be deliberately pressed there, as if something very important is written on it. Liu Yunxiang picked it up and saw that there were a lot of herbs recorded on it, like what kind of formula.

The next day, Hongxuan began to open an altar in the city according to Liu Yunxiang's instructions. In order to attract the people, before the practice, Liu Yunxiang also asked the soldiers to beat gongs and drums, and walked through the streets and alleys to deliver the news to the ears of the people.

But when it was really done, there were only three or five children, standing on the side with their heads tilted, with the expression of looking crazy.

"Is it still necessary to perform?" Hongxuan asked.

Liu Yunxiang glanced at him, "What kind of performance, you just learn every bit of real talent?" ”

Hongxuan coughed dryly, "What kind of opening the altar, removing evil spirits and taking refuge, calling for wind and rain, these are all deceptive." ”

"Then you can perform, it's best to have an audience, and if there is no audience, let's just act according to our plan."

Hongxuan couldn't do it, so he had to take out the peachwood sword and play a trick, and then the heavenly spirit was spiritual, and finally burned a few spells, and today's practice was about to be completed.

A lady passed by, glanced twice, and asked, "You have been dancing for so long, why hasn't it rained?" ”

Hongxuan stroked his beard and said, "It takes three days." ”

"It will rain in three days?"

"Yes."

The eldest lady pouted, "Then you can't do it, the Witch God Temple said that it will rain after tomorrow's ceremony, one day earlier than you." ”

Hongxuan smiled, "It doesn't matter if it's early or late, but see who can get the rain, this is the real skill." ”

The eldest lady didn't believe it, and in the spirit of joining in the fun, she said: "Then I have to go back and tell the neighbors that there is a Taoist priest who fights with the witch god." ”

As she spoke, the eldest lady went happily.

The corners of Hongxuan's mouth twitched, "She really doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement." ”

Liu Yunxiang looked to the east, there was a high platform there, and many people in white and gray robes were guarding there, which was the place where the Witch God Temple would hold a sacrifice ceremony tomorrow.

Compared to the other side, their platform, which was only stacked with a few wooden boxes, was too simple.

And most of the people leaned over there, only glancing at them when they walked by.

"Why aren't they in the Witch God Temple?" Liu Yunxiang asked.

Hongxuan sighed deeply, "Not everyone can enter the Witch God Temple, only the Holy Maiden and her henchmen can enter. ”

"Where's the Witch Temple?"

"I don't know, outsiders don't know."

"Yan Dusk hasn't sent back the news yet?"

"Huh?"

"He left with the Holy Maiden, didn't he just want to find the location of the Witch Temple."

Hongxuan's eyes widened, "I see. ”

Liu Yunxiang laughed, "Otherwise, do you think he really fell for the beauty trick of that saint?" ”

Hongxuan touched his nose, "I really thought about it. ”

"It's been a night, and he hasn't sent back any news that the witch temple is very secretive or that he has been suspected."

However, since Yan Dusk dared to go with the holy woman, he must be somewhat sure, they just had to wait a little longer.

Liu Yunxiang asked Hongxuan to continue to perform the exercises, and she took Zijin to the palace. When she passed by a medical hall, she remembered the piece of paper she had seen at Lu Chang'an's residence last night, so she turned to walk towards the medical hall.

She took out the piece of paper from her bosom and showed it to the doctor in the medical hall, who stroked his beard, studied it for a while, and said, "It should be a prescription for detoxification." ”

"A recipe for detoxification?"

"Yes, but I'm only a little learned, and I really can't see what this recipe can do."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and said, "If there is a poison that can make the poisoned person have symptoms of suspended animation, can drinking this medicine detoxify?" ”

"This ......"

Liu Yunxiang pondered for a moment and said, "Doctor Lao, you can prepare this medicine for me according to this recipe, and it is best to make it into a pill." ”
