The secret passage was very quiet. Mu Qing relaxed his breathing and stood in front of the stone door.
The communication between Mu Qing and Meng Zhang ended hastily. When they ran to the door of Huai Cao Shi's secret room, the stone door had been closed from the inside.
The secret room mechanism designed by Wanhua Valley can only be opened by the people inside when the stone door is closed from the inside. It happened that a strong spiritual energy wave escaped just now, and Mu Qing did not dare to make a sound at this time to distract the people inside.
"Shaoyao, don't be distracted, help your master up."
"okay."
The voice of Huai Cao Shi behind the stone door was still quiet, which proved that everything was going well so far. Mu Qing felt uneasy and put his ear to the door.
In the secret room, Zhang Shaoyao retracted his gaze towards Shimen, quickly walked to Huaifenghua on his knees, and helped Huaifenghua up on the cold jade bed.
Huai Cao Shi stood by the bed, his hands and fingers changing like the wind, constantly pinching various magic formulas. Strands of true energy gathered from Rupi Lian towards the cold jade bed in mid-air, holding up an adult's head-sized body like a flame. Bronze medicine cauldron.
Huai Caoshi's forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and his hands were becoming more and more laborious. After performing the last trick, his body swayed and he looked at Ning Chu.
Ning Chu had just walked around the cold jade bed, checking one by one that the calming incense in the four incense burners at the corner of the bed was still sufficient, and nodded solemnly.
"Okay." The posture of Huai Cao Shi's hand changed again. He supported his right wrist with his left hand, pressed his ring finger with his right thumb, and made a "bounce" movement toward the bronze medicine cauldron three times in a row. The bronze medicine cauldron "buzzed" There was a trembling sound and it began to spin.
Huai Cao Shi Duan shouted: "Quickly use the Wanhua Heart Meridian to activate the acupoints of the Zhoutian Meridian."
"I'll do it!" Ning Chu was worried that Zhang Shaoyao was seriously injured, so he quickly got in front of Huaifenghua.
Huai Caoshi looked pale and frowned: "It's a pity that none of us have reached the first level. You and Shaoyao work together to carry Zhou Tian."
Ning Chu quickly grabbed Huaifenghua's hands, palm to palm. Zhang Shaoyao's small face showed an extremely serious look, and he gently placed his palms on Huaifenghua's back. The two sisters looked at each other. Finally, he closed his eyes at the same time.
Circles of zhenqi ripples visible to the naked eye surrounded the three people on the bed. Ning Chu and Zhang Shaoyao's green hair floated. After connecting with each other and working together with the same mental method, Huaifenghua's complexion slowly improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, Huicao Shi did not dare to relax at all. The human body is also a complete world. The skeleton supports the sky, the flesh and blood turns into the earth, the essence and spirit evolve into all living things, and the heart fire is the driving force that supports the world. The source of it, the energy it obtains through refining, enables vitality to continuously fill the world, thus making people's soul immortal.
At this time, the inner fire in Huai Fenghua's body has been extinguished. In Huai Caoshi's view, this improvement is just an illusion of rootless water full of vitality. They have reached this step many times in the past few days, and what she has to do now is This is the most critical step.
She wanted to use the top earth treasure like Dilingge as a guide to ignite a new fire for Huai Fenghua.
If Li Miaozhen from Jinguan City was here, she would definitely exclaim loudly that Uncle Liu was saved.
The bronze medicine cauldron rotated faster and faster. When the four legs of the medicine cauldron almost hit Huaifenghua's forehead, Huaicao Shi shouted: "Open your mouth!"
Ning Chu and Huaifenghua intertwined their fingers. Hearing these words, he immediately opened his eyes. No matter how hard she used her hands, with the help of Zhang Shaoyao behind Huaifenghua, the unconscious Huaifenghua tilted its head back and opened it. mouth.
"Bang——" The lid of the bronze medicine cauldron suddenly exploded, and the ripples of spiritual energy that were many times stronger than before spread rapidly, even the hair on Mu Qing's temples outside the door could move back.
"how's it going?"
Mu Qing tried his best to control his emotions and shouted behind the door.
Now he helps with everything, but he can't see the result in person whether it's good or bad. It's so bad that he even complained to Jiang Shangxiu who stopped him from talking.
…
"Dang--" The stone door opened in response, and Mu Qing was in a daze and almost fell towards the woman who opened the door.
"Sister Ning!"
Mu Qing's throat was a little itchy, and the stone door was relatively narrow. Ning Chu stood in front of the door, so Mu Qing could only stretch his neck and look towards the cold jade bed.
Ning Chu's face was extremely silent, and he opened his mouth to predict but then stopped. Mu Qing was startled, "Senior Sister Ning?"
Ning Chu's eyes were extremely clear, as if immersed in sadness. Mu Qing looked at the two no longer busy figures beside Han Yu's bed, staggered, and her heart sank to the bottom.
"Brother A Liang?" Zhang Shaoyao patiently helped his master lie down, then rushed to the door with a joyful expression on his face, but happened to see Mu Qing's sad look, unable to stand still and holding on to the door.
Zhang Shaoyao quickly grabbed Mu Qing's arm, his red face full of urgency: "Are you injured? Why didn't your uncle tell you when he came back?"
She and Ning Chu were worried about the safety of Huai Fenghua, and they were also afraid that people like Chen Qing would use their own methods to treat others. They caught her and threatened Mu Qing, and returned to the secret room early. At this time, her little face was full of expressions. Worry.
"Are you injured? Jiang Shangxiu shouldn't take action against you." Huai Caoshi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeves and smiled.
Mu Qing was confused because he was concerned, but he was not really stupid. Seeing the joy in Zhang Shaoyao's big eyes and the relaxed look on Huai Cao Shi's face, he gave Ning Chu a strange look.
Ning Chu laughed for the first time and said, "I didn't say anything, this guy scared himself." After saying that, he gave up his position.
There was a gentle smile in Huai Caoshi's eyes, and Zhang Shaoyao couldn't wait to drag Mu Qing to Han Yu's bedside.
Not long ago, Mu Qing was lying on this bed with Huaifenghua. At this time, with the naked eye, one could see that Huaifenghua's breathing was much smoother and softer, and her face had a touch of rosy color.
"Junior Sister's destiny is indeed restored. That Earth Spirit Root is indeed the top earth treasure." Huai Caoshi walked to the bedside and said in a soft voice, "It's a pity that the weight is not enough, otherwise Junior Sister might be able to wake up directly."
Mu Qing looked at the peaceful face of Huaifenghua on the bed, and intuitively felt comfortable and peaceful, and asked: "Uncle...it will take a long time to wake up?"
Huai Caoshi was silent for a moment and said seriously: "If you don't use the earth spirit root, you may need to lie here for half a year to recuperate. Even if you wake up, you will not be able to walk around at will because your soul is unstable, so... it is best to Being able to get the earth spirit roots behind is crucial to stabilizing junior sister’s spirit.”
Mu Qing could not forget the way Huaifenghua resolutely ran into the white tiger's sword energy storm just to give him a little more life, and nodded silently.
"Trouble."
"please."
Ning Chu and Zhang Shaoyao smiled at each other, Mu Qing shook her head and turned around, finding the three women staring at her. Huai Caoshi smiled at Mu Qing and spread out a slender palm in front of her.
Mu Qing looked at the jade pendant that was completely put together in the palms of Huai Cao Shi and was in a daze.
"Why didn't you call me junior sister and aunt just now?"
"The two girls didn't treat you as an outsider, and I certainly don't. This is the jade pendant that my junior sister gave me before she passed out. She asked you to keep it safe."
"Wow, I really didn't expect that the master is actually my brother's aunt. Now we are really close to each other. Senior sister, what do you think?"
Ning Chu smiled and said: "The master who has not accepted an apprentice for many years suddenly accepted a female apprentice. It turned out to be because of the female apprentice's brother. Junior sister, do you think so?"
Zhang Shaoyao wrinkled his nose cutely and snorted: "No way."
The girl sensitively felt that this was a rare time for her senior sister to relax in recent days, and she actually joked with her for the first time in a long time.
Huai Cao Shi maintained the gesture of extending his hand and stood quietly in front of Mu Qing. He turned his head and looked at Ning Chu and Zhang Shaoyao, smiling and saying nothing.
When Mu Qing came back to his senses, he happened to see a hint of worry in Huai Cao Shi's eyes. After a moment's thought, he understood where Huai Cao Shi's worries were. He took the jade pendant, carefully hung the red string around his neck, and then Put the jade pendant into the collar and put it close to the body.
"Uncle, don't worry. Jiang Shangxiu stopped me just now and said that after the news from Wanhua Valley is sent back, the outer disciples in Huangsong Valley may be able to come back tomorrow."
"That's good."
Huai Caoshi opened her lips and wanted to ask something, but she decided not to.
Mu Qing asked understandingly: "Uncle, you want to ask Senior Brother Xu if they can come back together?"
Huai Caoshi nodded gratefully.
Mu Qing said: "Jiang Shangxiu said that if everything goes well, Senior Brother Xu and Senior Sister Bai can come back smoothly, but it may be difficult for Bai Jianwen."
Huai Caoshi sighed tiredly: "No wonder junior sister changed her surname in the first place. With the surname Bai, everyone except the emperor has good fortune and misfortune."
Ning Chu and Zhang Shaoyao were confused, but Mu Qing, who knew from Huaifenghua that his mother's name was "Bai Xueyue," looked deeply convinced.
Ning Chu reacted quickly, looked curiously at the master who was "asleep" on Hanyu's bed, and said, "Uncle Master, are you saying that the master's surname was Bai before?"
Huai Cao Shi glanced at Mu Qing and said to Ning Chu and Zhang Shaoyao: "Junior sisters have actually recognized each other, so there is no need to hide this matter. Your master used to be a member of the royal family, but not long after joining the sect, he I took your master’s surname.”
Ning Chu nodded. She heard her master say that before her master, Wanhua Valley chose orphans as disciples who had not known their parents since they were young. Therefore, if you look up the genealogy of the Ancestral Master Hall, you can read the poems of Huai Feng Hua and Huai Cao. This generation and up are all women with the surname Huai.
Huaifenghua had been depressed for a while, and she once laughed at herself in front of Ning Chu, her disciple: "Perhaps it was she who ruined the school's sect, otherwise why would the population of Wanhua Valley be so thin..."
Ning Chu thought of a certain friend among the outer disciples. She had previously suggested to her master that she should accept him as a disciple. It's just that the master didn't care about recruiting disciples at that time. Even when he was training Zhang Shaoyao, he often disappeared in the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley. Most of the time, it was her, the senior sister, who was worrying about it.
"Uncle Master."
"Um?"
Ning Chu suddenly said: "Among the outer disciples, there is a friend I have known for many years. I once asked her to take care of Jianwen."
Huai Caoshi smiled bitterly and said softly, "I heard from my junior sister that these outer disciples were selected by Hidden Valley and sent to Ten Thousand Flowers Valley. This is a conspiracy to steal the inheritance of Ten Thousand Flowers Valley. I'm afraid that your friend is... "
Huai Cao Shi didn't have the habit of speaking ill of people behind their backs, let alone an unknown woman.
Zhang Shaoyao blinked and said for Ning Chu: "Uncle, Senior Sister Ning should be talking about Sister Lin. If it is Sister Lin, then Junior Sister's brother should be fine."
The girl spoke categorically, and when she talked about "junior sister", she suddenly felt that she had grown up. Not only did she have a junior sister, she also had a younger brother.
Ning Chu smiled and said, "Chunmei was cold when we first met her, but she is actually a woman who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside but gentle at heart. I once wanted the master to accept Chunmei as his disciple."
"Really?" When Huai Cao Shi heard this, he felt an inexplicable affection for the woman who only knew her name.
People often say that birds of a feather flock together. A person with a kind heart like Zhang Shaoyao may still be deceived by a complicated human heart, but he has seen the sinister nature of the human heart and is quiet and wise like Ning Chu. He also agrees with the poisonous woman named Lin Chunmei. Then he will not There is a holiday.
As soon as Huai Cao Shi was interrupted by the two junior sisters, his thoughts flew far away. When he came back to his senses, he thought that at least everyone's life was safe. Tiredness came over his face, "Young people have good energy. I'm going to find a place to rest for a while. Your master, you can just take turns watching. Nothing will happen."
After watching Huai Cao Shi leave with a slightly weak figure, Ning Chu turned around and urged Mu Qing: "Shaoyao just kept talking about how you were doing up there, and you were not paying attention when helping your uncle. You can take her out to relax." .”
"Senior sister, how can I not!" The girl lowered her head, while the master was still lying on the bed. Zhang Shaoyao defended with some guilt: "I was worried about brother A Liang, but nothing went wrong when I took care of the master..."
The girl's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke.
Ning Chu raised his eyebrows provocatively at Mu Qing, as if to say, "You treat her like your sister, and she has a lot more affection."
Ning Chu suddenly remembered the time he met Mu Qing at the inn in Stone City. The Miss Liu beside Mu Qing was very amazing. She even mocked Mu Qing as "a big radish" on behalf of her junior sister.
When Mu Qing saw Ning Chu opening her mouth as if she was going to say something bad about herself, she quickly said, "Well, I'll take Peony to the ground for a walk, and I'll ask my senior sister to take care of... um, aunt."
Before leaving the secret room, Mu Qing suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Sure!"
