Chapter 18 Medicinal Materials

"Zhu Yan Dan?"

"Shh......h

Qin Chuan suddenly stopped Xiao Jian's voice, and hurriedly signaled the other party to be quieter, if he was heard by Shangguan Yao in the courtyard, he would die.

"Little Senior Brother, do you want to use it?" Xiao Jian hurriedly lowered his voice and asked.

"It's not. ”

Qin Chuan shook his head, his eyes glanced slightly towards the door intentionally, and then smiled at Xiao Jian knowingly. Shangguan Yao, I'm sorry, I really can't find a reason this time......

"Understood, understood. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jian also snickered, and immediately understood what Qin Chuan meant.

It must be that this little senior brother named Qin Chuan, in order to please his junior sister, promised to refine the Zhuyan Pill as a gift, but because the medicinal materials have not been put into storage for a long time, it has been shelved for a long time. This time, the little brother was under a lot of pressure, and as a last resort, he had to come to himself to be accommodating.

Seeing Xiao Jian's tacit smile, Qin Chuan nodded.

This is the only reason he came up with that could not only keep Xiao Jian from doubting, but also make Xiao Jian definitely not publicize it, otherwise, how could the two of them see that batch of medicinal materials. This is also one of the reasons why Fang Cai did not let Shangguan Yao in.

Who told you that I liared?

Qin Chuan thought about it, and couldn't help snickering in his heart.

"This junior sister of yours doesn't seem to need Yan Dan, right?"

Xiao Jian whispered.

Indeed, he has been on this Luoyan Peak for decades, and he has never seen such a beautiful female disciple as Shangguan Yao, and even if others eat the Yan Dan as food, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop such a face.

"How do I know? ”

Qin Chuan muttered, although Shangguan Yao was used as an excuse for making something out of nothing this time, but he did see Shangguan Yao stealing his master's book, and he really didn't know what his daughter's family was thinking. Thinking about it, he smiled shyly and asked Xiao Jiandao, "I don't know if Senior Brother Xiao is convenient?"

"Little brother treats me like this, how can I refuse. ”

Xiao Jian replied, stood up and took a key from the cabinet and handed it to Qin Chuan, "It's just that I'm sick now, so it's not appropriate to go out." I'll give you the key to the storehouse, and you can take the herbs and give them back to me. ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan was a little surprised.

I only thought that Xiao Jian would lead him to the treasury to take a look, but he didn't expect the other party to trust him so much. This Danta Medicine Depot is an extremely important place, and the elders in the outer courtyard are probably not allowed to enter without permission, and this Senior Brother Xiao actually handed over the key to himself so reassuringly.

People say that good deeds are rewarded with goodness, is that what it is?

"However, I have not found out the problem with that batch of medicinal materials, if you notice anything unusual, junior brother must pay attention to it. It is important to please your sister, but you can't be careless about the hidden dangers. ”

Xiao Jian told Qin Chuan like this again.

"Then thank you, brother. ”

Qin Chuan nodded, took the key, and saluted Xiao Jian again.

suddenly felt that like Xiao Jian, although he had no cultivation and no status, and was even bullied and abused from time to time, his personality was much nobler than most people in this world.

Shaking his head, he went out the door.

At this time, the night has been quietly shrouded, a round of crescent moon has been hanging in the sky at some point, some hazy feeling, the peak of the wild goose is high into the clouds, the so-called high place is not cold, the night breeze blows, it is a little more cool.

"Gone. ”

Calling at Shangguan Yao, Qin Chuan didn't explain how to get the key from Xiao Jian, and besides, I'm afraid he didn't dare to say it. No, absolutely can't say it.

The two of them walked a few steps one after the other, and then turned to the door of the medicine store.

Although there were many questions about what excuse Qin Chuan used to obtain the key, according to Shangguan Yao's character, Qin Chuan didn't say it, and he wouldn't ask it. watched Qin Chuan open the door of the warehouse, followed the search in the warehouse for a long time, and finally found a corner of the batch of medicinal materials that had not yet been put into the warehouse.

"Senior Brother Xiao can't even see the clues, what can you see. ”

Shangguan Yao said coldly, she was not proficient in the way of pills, so she didn't investigate carefully, just stood behind Qin Chuan and watched quietly.

"If you don't see it, you have to see it to know. ”

Qin Chuan replied, took out a medicinal herb from it at will, and carefully studied it for a long time. Suddenly, he leaned closer to his nose and sniffed lightly. Senior Brother Xiao has been dealing with medicinal herbs for most of his life, and he can't see it, and I'm afraid he won't be able to find out anything.

It's just that I also noticed the weirdness in it.

"Do you feel that the taste of this herb seems to be a little lighter?"

Gu Zi said a word, Qin Chuan was suspicious, and he was about to put the medicinal herb into his mouth and taste it. Suddenly, because of Shangguan Yao's reprimand, he stopped the movements in his hand.

"Don't!"

Shangguan Yao said, and then his tone was slightly soothing, "If there is a problem, don't try." ”

Qin Chuan was stunned for half a minute, and then put the medicinal herb back. That's right, if the dark door puts poison in it, if you risk yourself and have an accident, it won't be worth it.

"Let's go. ”

......

The two of them returned the key to Xiao Jian, and when they came out of the Danta, it was already dark at night, and the sky was full of stars. In the corner of the corridor, Qin Chuan and Shangguan Yao stood side by side, but they were not in a hurry to return to Lingyun Pavilion.

"What's next?"

Shangguan Yao asked. Originally, I thought that Xiao Jian's accident would bring progress to their investigation, but this time, it seems that it has nothing to do with the conspiracy of the Dark Gate.

Qin Chuan did not answer Shangguan Yao's question, but said:

"Senior Brother Xiao is not dyed by the wind cold. ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Yao hesitated, "How do you know?"

"Didn't Qiu Qi accidentally catch a cold in early spring, I took care of him for a few days, and naturally I had some impressions of this disease. Senior Brother Xiao is by no means sick. ”

Facing Shangguan Yao's questioning eyes, Qin Chuan continued, "Just now, when you asked me not to test the medicine, I was thinking, is it possible that the Dark Gate poisoned the medicinal materials, and then Senior Brother Xiao tried the medicine himself, so he accidentally had a disease similar to wind and cold?"

Xiao Jianjian is a deacon in the pharmacy, and it must be common to test medicines.

It's just that I can't guess, what kind of poison is under the dark door?

Hearing Qin Chuan's words, Shangguan Yao immediately understood. So, what should the two of them do next?

"If this is the case, then Senior Brother Xiao must have been targeted by the dark sect spies, and he may even kill people. We only need to keep an eye on Senior Brother Xiao at all times, as long as the dark door people appear, we can prove that what we have investigated these days is correct, and at that time, we can report to the seniors in the sect to deal with it. ”

Qin Chuan said that it was not easy for the two of them to secretly investigate since that day, and slowly groping for these clues.

"It's up to you. ”

Shangguan Yao responded. After discussing the matter here, he immediately looked at the sky, and without greeting Qin Chuan, he returned to Lingyun Pavilion with his own body.

“......”

Seeing this, Qin Chuan felt helpless in his heart, did he need to be so indifferent......

"Hey, you've gone too far with Senior Sister Cheng today. ”

Suddenly remembering the events of the morning, Qin Chuan shouted. Cheng Jia was under Shangguan Yao's sharp sword before, although he was not injured in the slightest, he was also scared. In that kind of encounter between life and death, I am afraid that no one will get better.

"So what?"

Immediately, Shangguan Yao suddenly stopped, but her tone was unusually cold.

"I mean, don't scare people. ”

"If you care about her, go with her, and rebuke me for what?"

Shangguan Yao said coldly again, as if she was suddenly in an extremely bad mood, and even faintly angry. It really made Qin Chuan inexplicable.

"Where did I reprimand you again? ”

Qin Chuan said helplessly.

"You have!"

Suddenly, Shangguan Yao turned around and looked at Qin Chuan with an angry face, a pair of willow-like eyebrows were slightly raised, Yao's nose was slightly wrinkled, and there seemed to be a look of resentment in his eyes. In his expression, it didn't look like an angry look, but more like a little woman coquettish, as if staring at a negative person with teary eyes.

Qin Chuan was stunned.

His heart felt as if he had been touched by something, a soft, very strange feeling.

"I didn't. ”

He said softly, Qin Chuan's tone was softer than ever. It was as if he had seen something from Shangguan Yao's clear eyes, somewhat familiar, and as if he had never seen it before.

Zihan?

No, she's Shangguan Yao.

"I just think ......"

Just as he was about to explain something, suddenly, there was a strange movement of the true yuan in the Qinchuan dantian, which came from the induction between his own true yuan, and immediately, his complexion changed abruptly, and his eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously, a little dignified. The words he was about to say stopped abruptly, and he said in a deep voice:

"Qi Yuntian. ”

That kid, there's finally something wrong.

......

The lonely night sky, like a dark cloud, was shrouded in a layer of shadow.

On the mountain path on the seven courtyards of the front mountain, twists and turns, between the pine forests and strange stones, circling and surrounding, the pine trees on both sides become forests, and it is quiet and quiet.

In a mountain pavilion, there seems to be a figure.

"What did Qi Yuntian do when he ran here in the middle of the night?"

At this moment, Qin Chuan and Shangguan Yao were hiding behind a rock, watching from afar in that mountain pavilion. They followed Qi Yuntian all the way, but they didn't expect that Qi Yuntian to sneak here.

Hearing Shangguan Yao ask quietly, Qin Chuan lowered his voice:

"Maybe it's to meet the black-robed man that night. ”

This kind of behavior is all too familiar to me in my previous life. At this moment, Qin Chuan was already very sure in his heart, and his guess was not wrong at all.

Sure enough, after a while, another person appeared in the pavilion.

But it was a man, dressed in an orthodox robe, with a slender body, and with the feeling of breath, he should be a young Fuximen disciple, but unfortunately, that person had his back to where Qin Chuan and the others were, and he couldn't see his face clearly. However, judging from the body shape, it is indeed very similar to the black-robed man that night.

Immediately, I saw Qi Yuntian pointing at the mysterious man as if he was complaining, but the mysterious man didn't make any moves, still standing with his hands in his hands, and he should have something to say.

It's just that it's quite far away, and you can't hear what the two of them are saying at all.

"I can't hear you. ”

Qin Chuan sighed slightly disappointed, it would be nice if he had cultivated the Yuan Shen at this moment.

Suddenly, Shangguan Yao's body moved, and without waiting for Qin Chuan to react, he quietly took a step forward.
