Under Luo Fan's leadership, Qing and Mo Junqian entered the palace again.

There were many workers repairing the burned down place before, Luo Fan led the two of them through the side path, and came to a quiet garden.

The garden is not big, it is very clean, a bamboo house, half a garden medicine sieve, Zhuge Hongming is standing in the courtyard playing with the dried herbs.

There was a faint scent of medicinal herbs in the air, and Qinghe noticed that on the plaque in front of the bamboo house, there were three words written - Jingcaotang.

Luo Fan stepped forward and said, "Master, someone is here." ”

Zhuge Hongming didn't look back, only waved his hand to let Luo Fan retreat.

Qinghe stood in place, hesitating whether to step forward and salute, he was also an elder, and it was really not good to stand like this.

Before he could make a move, Zhuge Hongming had already spoken: "Give me the rain poria." ”

Qing and Mo Jun looked at each other with a thousand faces, with inexplicability on their faces, and they didn't know what he meant.

Until Zhuge Hongming repeated what he had just said.

Qinghe had never studied pharmacology, and he didn't know which one was Yu Poria at all, so he stood still and didn't move. Mo Junqian stepped forward, wandered around in front of those medicinal herbs, and finally picked up a medicine sieve and walked in front of Zhuge Hongming and said, "Senior, the herbs you want." ”

Zhuge Hongming still didn't look up, took the herb and dialed it, and asked, "Do you know the use of rain poria?"

Mo Jun Qiandao: "Stop bleeding and dissolve stasis, smooth the meridians." ”

Nodding: "What about that?"

Mo Junqian looked in the direction he pointed and said, "Return to the star grass, clear the leader, and dispel the wind and cold." ”

"Yang Dan?"

"Relieve sweating, relax muscles and invigorate blood. ”

"Poor yellow?"

"Disperse qi and detoxify the whole body. ”

"Starry?"

"Solid yuan returns to hysteria, lowers fire and nourishes yin. ”

"Zichen?"

"The taste is bitter and bitter, and it reconciles all medicines. ”

......

After a series of questions, Mo Junqian answered, and Zhuge Hongming finally looked up at him.

"You know a lot. ”

Mo Junqian said humbly: "The younger generation has grown up in adversity since childhood, and the injuries they have suffered have been healed with these herbs, and after a long time, they have been remembered in their minds. ”

Zhuge Hongming walked to a place and grabbed a handful of herbs: "Do you know this?"

Mo Junqian looked at his hand and frowned: "Forget worry grass, a common poisonous weed, mostly grows in humid environments, not strong in toxicity, not enough to be fatal, but ......"

Zhuge Hongming: "Go on." ”

"However, if it is mixed with another herb, it becomes highly poisonous, and it is not easy to detect, killing people invisibly. ”

Qinghe asked, "What is the other one?"

Mo Junqian: "White Ghost." ”

"Is the White Wraith also a poisonous weed?"

He shook his head: "No, on the contrary, the White Ghost is a medicinal herb that saves people, without a trace of toxicity, the medicinal properties are mild, and most of the pills have this herb." ”

Qinghe: "That's interesting, a forgetful grass, a white ghost, two species with different attributes, together they become a forgotten soul." ”

She said to Zhuge Hongming: "Now that the poison of forgetting the soul has spread in the capital, I wonder if the predecessors can find a way to detoxify?"

Zhuge Hongming didn't answer and asked, "Have you ever learned the art of alchemy?"

Qing and Mo Junqian glanced at each other and shook their heads.

Zhuge Hongming snorted coldly: "What did that old guy Qi Changfeng teach you! Could it be that the poor people of Qingyun Sect can't even afford to buy medicinal herbs?"

Hearing this, Qinghe's heart sank, it turned out that Zhuge Hongming had already known their details, but he had never exposed them, and now he called them into the palace, I don't know why.

Seeing the two of them staring at him vigilantly, Zhuge Hongming shook his sleeves and said, "I'm not interested in you two little dolls, if you want to stay in this palace, learn alchemy from me." With that, he turned around and went into the bamboo house.

Given that their opponents were too strong and seemed intent on helping them, the two hesitated for only a moment before disarming and surrendering, and followed them into the house.

There were only two tables in the room, one full of herbs and the other full of books.

"If you want to learn alchemy, you must first read these books. ”

Zhuge Hongming said this and went to his own house, Qinghe looked at the pile of books stacked on the table, some of which were taller than her, and suddenly regretted it.

With so many books, it would take half a day just to read the titles, let alone read them.

But I've come here, and I can't find the Divine Pearl for a while, so it's not bad to study here.

Since the woman disguised herself as a man, Qinghe changed back to women's clothes, with plain and elegant green shirts, long hair scattered and draped, and only a wooden hairpin on her head, which matches this bamboo house. Leaning lightly on the bamboo railing window, the sunlight shone on her, a little softer than the usual indifference.

Most of the content in the book is entry-level knowledge, and the technical terms are obscure, and it is easy for people who have never been exposed to alchemy to fall into misunderstandings. Surprisingly, Qinghe didn't look struggling, on the contrary, she absorbed it quickly, and finished reading it in less than a moment.

It's just that she didn't notice it at all, she looked at the book with relish, her brain was running extremely fast, and she gradually had a new understanding of alchemy.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is already evening, and the sun in the distance has not yet set, and the red glow has dyed half of the sky.

Zhuge Hongming interrupted them: "Come here today, I have asked Luo Fan to prepare a place for you to live, you live in the palace first, and continue tomorrow." ”

Qinghe thought about it and felt the need to ask clearly: "Is it because of the family teacher or because of other reasons that the seniors help us so much?"

Zhuge Hongming: "What do you think?"

Qinghe slowly stood up and said: "The seniors are superior in strength and above board, so they must not be interested in that thing, I guess you were entrusted by the family teacher to help us, right?"

Zhuge Hongming: "If I'm interested in what you're looking for, what should you do?"

Qinghe's face was calm: "You can't have both fish and bear's paws, the predecessors want to give free manpower, but also want to deprive us of our supreme treasure, there is no such good thing in the world." ”

The implication is that you either pay money or hand over the divine beads, and it is impossible to get it without work.

Zhuge Hongming suddenly smiled, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face that was usually not smiling.

Looking at Qinghe's eyes, there was an inexplicable hint of appreciation: "Qi Changfeng has accepted a good apprentice." You remember that all secrets are not airtight, and if you want to find what you want, pay more attention to the people and things in this palace. He looked out at the sky, "The night can give you cover, maybe you will gain something by going out for a walk." ”

After coming out of the bamboo house, Luo Fan took them to a residence not far from the Pure Grass Hall, and left after a few words.

Qinghe thought about it and decided to go and see Changping, after saying goodbye last time, she never had a chance to apologize to her, and now she has a chance to enter the palace again.

Mo Junqian saw that Qinghe was going out and wanted to follow, Qinghe felt that the two of them were now in a situation of cold war and rejected him, but Mo Junqian obviously didn't think so, he said that the cold war was just Qinghe's wishful thinking, and Qinghe couldn't resist him, so he went with him.

But what she didn't expect was that she almost lost her life this time.

Cheng'en Temple

Concubine Cheng was sitting in front of the dresser, and the maid was beside her with a new white hosta.

"Is it pretty?" the voice was soft.

The maid smiled coquettishly, she was Concubine Cheng's favorite girl, so she was bold in front of the master, "The maid is beautiful, beautiful, of course she is beautiful!"

Concubine Cheng in the mirror hooked the corners of her lips: "You girl, you can say some good things." The tone was smiling.

"The Lord of the Kingdom has arrived!"

There was a sudden shout outside, and Mo Zhanli walked in a moment later.

Concubine Cheng waved her hand away from the maids in the palace, and now there are only two of them left in the big room.

Concubine Cheng got up and walked in front of Mo Zhanli, raised her hand and touched the white hosta in her hair elegantly, and asked affectionately, "Does Your Majesty think it looks good?"

Mo Zhanli's face was indifferent, and a trace of imperceptible disgust flashed in his eyes, staring at Concubine Cheng.

Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped her violently, and said in an extremely cold tone: "I warned you, don't learn from her again, you don't deserve it." ”

Concubine Cheng was fanned to the ground, and the white hosta slipped and fell in half.

Concubine Cheng didn't seem to feel the pain, picked up the hairpin and stood up, and said to herself: "It's a pity, the best white jade is broken like this." ”

Mo Zhanli: "Put away your coy attitude, let me ask you, there are many people in the capital who have been poisoned by the Forgotten Soul, and even Changping has been poisoned, did you do it?"

Concubine Cheng returned to the dresser and put the white hosta that had been broken in half into a wooden box, mixing it with the other broken hairpins.

"Your Majesty said so, but is there any evidence?"

Mo Zhanli sneered: "Do you still need evidence for the dirty things you did?"

Concubine Cheng's originally smiling face turned cold, and she swept away the jewelry on the dresser, scattering pearls on the ground.

She shouted at him, "Am I dirty? Aren't you dirty? You did all these things back then! When it comes to dirty, you are a hundred times dirtier than me!"

The aura around her body instantly cooled, and Mo Zhan stepped in front of her and grabbed her neck suddenly: "Don't mention to me about the year again!"

Concubine Cheng's face turned red when she was pinched, and she didn't forget to sarcastically mock him, she laughed madly: "Hahaha, you're afraid! Are you afraid that what happened back then will be revealed? The more you are afraid, the more I have to say, you want to forget the immoral things you have done, I tell you, no way! As long as I live for one day, you don't want to forget!"

Mo Zhanli's strength in his hand did not decrease, and it was not until Concubine Cheng was about to faint that he shook her off.

Concubine Cheng collapsed on the ground and coughed violently, Mo Zhanli looked at the woman on the ground who was panting, and said, "You are crazy." ”

Concubine Cheng wanted to get up, but she was dizzy and fell to the ground again, "Yes, I'm crazy, I've been crazy since the day he died." Do you know why I am still alive now? I will destroy your Apocalypse Kingdom with my own hands, destroy you as the lord of the country, destroy your beloved little daughter, and I will let you live in pain forever like me!"

Mo Zhanli didn't speak, and looked at her coldly.

Concubine Cheng suddenly remembered something, and said in a weird way: "Oh no, you are in pain now, because that person, the person you killed with your own hands, your favorite spirit...... Ahh

Mo Zhanli swung out a palm with a lot of power, and Concubine Cheng screamed in pain and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Don't think I won't dare to kill you, now that Shaoling has grown up, you have no use value. ”

Concubine Cheng clutched her chest and laughed: "Do you really think you love her very much? Do you dare to guarantee that there will be no other women after you get her? I know best what kind of person you are, no wonder she doesn't like you, people like you are not worthy of her at all! You are not worthy of her!"

The successive cruel words stimulated Mo Zhanli, he was extremely angry, and his palm slammed towards Concubine Cheng, Concubine Cheng sneered and looked at the palm force in front of her, and slowly closed her eyes.
