After a lot of trouble, the night has fallen, and it's time to hold the lanterns.
Wu Zhe and others went downstairs and went back to Autumn Leaf Garden for dinner with Zong Zhilian.
There was no business on the first day of opening, and several people deliberately kept it in their hearts and did not say it.
This situation was expected in advance.
In Autumn Leaf Garden, Wu Zhe personally cooked several dishes of Hunan cuisine.
A few people ate extremely hot and spicy, and the depression of not opening was relieved a lot.
"Ah—delicious, I bet Ruoyao that you will never worry about marrying!" Zong Zhilian put down the bowl and chopsticks, and groaned while rubbing his round stomach.
"Our Ruoyao didn't worry about getting married." Hu Yunjiao rolled his eyes at him, and let out a hot breath: "I rarely eat spicy food on weekdays. Only Ruoyao's craftsmanship can make me sweat all over my mouth. Like a fire."
"Even if you don't eat spicy food, you will get angry easily." Zong Zhilian muttered beside him.
Mu Qingya drank the after-dinner tea and watched everyone laughing with a smile.
Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Hu Yunshang said bluntly: "We are opening today. I don't know why Zhong Xunguan turned his back on the battle and took off the signboard of Lady Huang's Lady House. I think it seems to be related to that plaster-faced young man. It is related to the plaque sent.”
Zong Zhilian and Hu Yunjiao nodded together.
Zong Zhilian asked the servants who were cleaning up the dishes to leave as soon as possible, and the five sat at the table to discuss while drinking tea.
"Tell me about the situation at that time." Wu Zhe only knew the general idea. When inference is needed at this moment, naturally the more detailed the better.
Zong Zhilian was the main one, and the brothers and sisters of the Hu family were the assistants. They described the details of the time almost exactly.
Zong Zhilian said: "Let me add one more thing. The old man driving the car next to the plaster face, I saw him walking on the ground where the firecrackers had just been set off, and the rest of his robes were not trampled by him. This is flying through the sky!" "
"Lingkongxudu?" Wu Zhe naturally didn't understand.
But Hu Yunshang exclaimed: "Lingkongxudu! Moon-level master?!"
Hu Yunjiao was surprised: "That young man with a plastered face for washing maggots actually has a moon-level saint-level guard?! Oh, I can't tell at all. And when he was treating the injured dog, this great master was even subdued by Ruoyao apologize?"
Her cultivation base is still shallow, so naturally she can't see the slightest clue.
"Can you make the moon-rank saint apologize?" Zong Zhilian was surprised.
Wu Zhe quickly asked: "Wait, first explain to me what Lingkongxudu is?"
Hu Yunjiao was the first to explain: "It is because Xuan Qi has surpassed the stars, but has reached the level of a moon-rank saint, and can float in the air to a certain extent. Wow, that is a great master. Except for the sword-wielding sect, the moon-rank saint The ones in Quanqi can be counted with one hand.”
"Floating? Can it fly?"
"I asked my dad the same thing back then. He said that he couldn't fly like a bird, but he could still float in mid-air for a short time. He could even volley in the air like stepping on the ground in Xuanwu battles, and use his strength to twist his body shape. "
She thought of the two big hands that tore apart the space-time tunnel, and asked quickly, "If you want to shatter the void, what state would it be?"
Zong Zhilian asked to shake his fan: "Shattering the Void? It must not be possible at the moon level, at least it is at the level of the venerable at the day level, right? How did you think of it?"
That's not awesome enough, Wu Zhe thought to himself. I thought it could shatter the void or something, so I said casually: "Just think about it, please tell me about the moon level in detail. My knowledge is all from books, but I don't understand this kind of knowledge."
Zong Zhilian smiled and said: "Ah, by the way, these are all the contents passed on by word of mouth from the teacher. Let me tell you this nerd who can only read classics... First, offer me a cup of apprenticeship tea?"
Wu Zhe threw a tea lid over.
"Oh, you actually hurt my handsome left cheek!"
*********************************
In Tianbo mansion, the prince pointed to two baskets that gave off a peculiar smell.
General Yang and Daochang Li looked at it curiously, then untied the basket and let out an ah almost at the same time.
The two opened the basket, only to see lumps of maggot-infested bean paste, and it was the stench of bean paste that entered the nostrils.
"Your Majesty teased me for waiting." Li Daochang swept the whisk around him, blocking the smell and laughing dumbly.
"Where did the prince get so many maggots?" General Yang also shook his head with a smile.
They are all loyal to the prince, and they are more familiar with his occasional funny mind, so they just think that the prince is making fun of them and don't take it seriously.
The prince smiled and said: "I didn't tease you, it was these maggots that ate the dog's wound and carrion. A few hours ago, I found this dog on a street corner with a festering wound and a fever, and only half of its life was left... "
Shizi briefly explained what had happened.
"Really maggots?" General Yang and Li Daochang listened in amazement.
The sad autumn old man interjected: "The old man didn't believe it at the time. He questioned this matter, and ended up indirectly apologizing to that little girl."
"Is it Xiao Ruoyao, the potential star girl of the sword-wielding sect with amazing memory skills mentioned in the report?" General Yang and Daochang Li were still skeptical.
"It's her." The prince said, "And we just happened to test her memory on the spot."
Shizi speaks very carefully, talking about us, not me or naming someone. This put the old man's self-inflicted test on himself.
The sad autumn old man said: "The girl just flipped through twenty or so books on medical skills, and she had memorized them all in less than a cup of tea. I deliberately took a little content to test, and she was able to answer them fluently. "
Li Daochang said in surprise: "I have read in some books that someone has a photographic memory, and I really met such a talented son, ah, yes daughter. She should have a foundation in medical skills, right?"
General Yang recalled: "According to the report, she was born in Qingling and had no chance to learn at all. If there is no master to lead apprentices, how can she have medical skills?"
He also knew about the report. At that time, everyone regarded it as an interesting incident, and even questioned its authenticity.
The prince thought for a while: "I remember that it was written in the report that she was rescued after falling into the water, but I remember that there are records in the book that some people learned some great skills as if they were enlightened on the verge of death."
"I have also seen similar records. The founding monarch of the Wu Kingdom was the founder of the Wu Kingdom a hundred years ago, and it has achieved the legend of the Wu Kingdom's founding."
At this time, the steward came in to report that two prisoners with festering wounds had been taken from the death row in the city.
There is no humanitarianism in this era, and it is beyond reproach in the eyes of ordinary people to use death row prisoners as experiments.
One of the two prisoners had a fever and fell into a coma due to a severe knife wound to the shoulder, and the other suffered from festering on the lower leg, and feared that his life would be lost if his limb was not amputated.
"You all go down." Li Daochang thought that it was best not to leak this matter.
Using people as an experiment to feed maggots, if it spreads, it's really scary, and maybe it's bad for the son's reputation.
"Blindfold the prisoner's eyes." Shizi asked the mournful old man to tie the prisoner to the table and block his sight so as not to be frightened by seeing the upper body of the maggot.
After closing the door and avoiding a lot of light, Shizi repeated what he did in Changhen Pavilion, and specially ordered: "Count the number and see if there is one or two missing."
This is to worry about whether the maggots will penetrate into the human body and the number will be wrong.
Together, they counted a handful of maggots on the plate that were ready to be poured.
After counting the number, Shizi insisted that he personally poured two plates with a total of about a hundred maggots on the death row prisoner's wound.
The maggots crawling on the wounds of the human body made people feel a little chilled.
Fortunately, this matter was done by the prince, and there was a dog to prove it. And the testee is also a person waiting to die in this generation who has no personal rights, otherwise no one would dare to feed people to maggots to see the effect.
The sober prisoner didn't know what the bug was, but he still felt terrified in his heart and tried to struggle. The prince simply knocked him unconscious, so as not to move around and cause the maggots on his knees to fall and cause trouble.
When it was completely dark, the maggots had been replaced three times, and the experiment was over.
General Yang and Daochang Li were surprised by the effect.
Instead of the original festering wound, fresh flesh color was revealed. The death row prisoner who had a fever had even started to lose his fever!
"Oh—if I knew this method earlier, I would pity my brother who died young..." General Yang thought of his brother who died of sword sores and died in his thirties, not only felt sad in his heart.
Li Daochang stroked Fuchen lightly. "It's pretty gutsy to think of putting maggots on a wound. Especially a woman who can think of that, should I say..."
"A powerful and unconstrained style?" The son continued.
Li Daochang nodded: "It can be described in this way, and it should be said that Xiao Ruoyao is completely different from ordinary women. Which lady of the family can think of this? I'm afraid that if you think about it for a while, you will feel disgusting again?"
The remaining three agreed.
General Yang said: "Or, she can come up with this method because she has a heart of saving the world with a hanging pot, regardless of her personal feelings?"
Shizi tilted his head and thought for a while: "It's possible, but maybe the surname is not very big. Why do I always feel that she was trying to trick me at that time?"
The old man Beiqiu also had a similar feeling, and nodded beside him: "That girl is eccentric, my son, be careful not to fall into her scheme."
Shizi understood in his heart. Although the sad autumn old man seemed to be belittling in his mouth, he called Xiao Ruoyao a girl, not the girl doll when he first met, and he obviously respected her.
He tilted his head even harder, rolled his eyelids and said while thinking, "But what can she design for me? It's nothing to wash the maggots."
General Yang joked: "There are many ways to deceive the prince. For example, by tricking you into the bridal chamber, she is expected to covet the position of the prince's concubine."
The sad old man and Li Daochang both laughed.
Everyone knows that the prince can't find a suitable concubine, but Xiao Ruoyao is not expected to be a concubine.
With only a bit of brain and memory skills, it is difficult to become a concubine, but also a concubine? Just kidding.
"Don't talk nonsense about a girl's family name." The prince frowned slightly.
It was rare for the son to blame, and the three of them hurriedly agreed.
At this time, the steward hurried in to report: the lord of Zhanjian Sect and Elder Bai are here to visit! (To be continued.)
