Zhu Yicheng's worries were not unfounded. Except for Su Yanjun and Huang Zelin, all of them were old acquaintances of Luo Qingwen and knew of the grievances between her and Luo Ziqi.
If it was said that the purpose of cooperating in front of people was to preserve the reputation of Baihuagu, and to act in a show, there was no one watching around just now, so Luo Qingwen had no reason not to tell them the truth. But she looked relaxed, as if she really agreed with Luo Ziqi's actions.
"Let's take a look at their resting place tonight?" Gu Qingqiao suggested.
Several people are masters who don't think it's a big deal. Hearing this, they nodded again and again, and they saw Jun Zijian smiled bitterly.
Several people muttered together for a while, then went to rest and prepared to act at night.
In the middle of the night, the monks in Baihuagu stopped their treatment and walked towards the largest Liufang Inn in the city.
Luo Qingwen walked alone at the end of the team, and the cultivators in front lowered their heads and hurried.
It is not easy to open the gate of God for each patient, and it takes a lot of spiritual power. Several monks are already pale and unsteady. They just want to hurry back to the inn and have a good rest.
Walking to a corner, suddenly, a hand stretched out from the darkness, hooked Luo Qingwen around, and the girl was pulled into a small courtyard.
When Luo Qingwen was forced to turn around, she had already put on her robe to fight back, and a hurried voice sounded in her ear: "Xiaowen, it's me!"
Today the sky is gloomy, the moon and stars are dark, and the courtyard is pitch black. The silver ball on the cloth emitted a faint white light, illuminating Zhu Yicheng's face.
The silver ball slowly fell, Luo Qingwen breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily, "Can't you talk well? You're pretending to be a ghost!"
Zhu Yicheng smiled and didn't answer, just pulled her into the house.
Luo Qingwen hesitated for a while, but she was not afraid, and pushed the door into the house.
Sparks flashed in the room, an oil lamp was lit, and Gu Qingqiao, Mu Xiyuan and Qin Le stood at the indoor table.
"What's wrong?" Luo Qingwen exclaimed.
Zhu Yicheng looked sincere: "Xiaowen, don't you hate Luo Ziqi the most? Why do you do things for him?"
Luo Qingwen was stunned for a moment, then she blurted out: "This is for the residents of Hundred Flowers City!"
"Then you don't feel awkward at all?"
Luo Qingwen opened her mouth and carefully reflected on her mood. A surprised look gradually appeared on her face.
"I..." Luo Qingwen said hesitantly, "Luo Ziqi has been very domineering since he was a child. All of us concubines and concubines have been bullied by him. Since I built the foundation, he has always regarded me as an opponent for the position of Valley Lord. , always spared no effort to suppress me. Because he suspected that I was able to break through with Yu Jue, he also snatched my mother's relics."
Zhu Yicheng nodded and patted her hand comfortingly.
"But, but..." Luo Qingwen raised her eyes to look at Zhu Yicheng, her big eyes that were always agile were now covered with a mist of doubt: "Why do I think of him now, and I don't feel hateful at all, on the contrary, I really want to Help him, accomplish him?"
"Xiaowen, don't worry," Zhu Yicheng said softly, "Senior Brother Gu, they want to ask you something, you should listen to it first."
Gu Qingqiao said: "Miss Luo, what you told us before, your experience after returning to the valley, can you repeat it?"
"What do you suspect?" Luo Qingwen asked.
"It's nothing, Xiaowen," Zhu Yicheng comforted: "Just say it again and see."
Knowing that the partners in front of her were not malicious, Luo Qingwen slowly recounted what happened after returning to the valley.
After speaking, she glanced at everyone and said, "That's it, and then I came to the city today to treat the patients. You have all seen the specific process."
Everyone was silent, and Mu Xiyuan suddenly asked, "How many days has Miss Luo been locked in the room by her father?"
"Three days!" Luo Qingwen didn't know what to do, but she still answered seriously.
"Participate in the study of the antidote immediately after leaving the room? How many days in total?"
"Yes," Luo Qingwen thought for a while, "It's ten days in total."
"Are you sure it's Ten Days?" Mu Xiyun asked again.
Luo Qingwen nodded, I have recorded every day's dispensing and treatment, it is indeed ten days. Plus today, it's the eleventh day."
"So Miss Luo spent a total of thirteen days in the valley?"
Luo Qingwen closed her eyes again and recalled, and nodded affirmatively.
"However, from that day you returned to the valley to ask for help to today, a total of 16 days. Counting the day you returned to the valley and today, Miss Luo, you have one day, and you are gone!"
"How could this be?" Luo Qingwen took a step back in surprise and was firmly supported by Zhu Yicheng.
"Don't worry, girl," Gu Qingqiao looked around cautiously and said: "During this period of time, you are treating the residents in the city. Your words and deeds will be noticed, and we are not allowed to act rashly. Today, I just remind you to pay attention. There may be a conspiracy around. When the epidemic subsides in a few days, you can come to the magic circle, and I will explain it to you in detail. During this time, you should pay more attention. If you feel uncomfortable or lose your memory again, come to us immediately. okay?"
Luo Qingwen nodded and was silent for a moment.
When everyone was worried about her emotional breakdown, she raised her head and smiled at Zhu Yicheng who was worried: "Fool, don't worry so much, I'm not afraid of you all, what are you afraid of?"
Zhu Yicheng's heart was hot, it was this kind of cheerfulness and ease that made Luo Qingwen deeply rooted in his heart.
"By the way, do you have anything else to do tonight?" Luo Qingwen said with a smile, "It's just for me, you don't have to do this for me, right?"
In an attempt to be easily seen through, a group of big boys almost blushed, or Zhu Yicheng said: "We want to steal that monk's prescription, you take us?"
Luo Qingwen chuckled lightly: "What do I think it is? That cultivator is always mysterious, for fear of being robbed of the prescription and carrying it with him all the time. But for you, it is like being undefended at all."
After speaking, she turned around beautifully and led everyone out of the room.
A few people came to the inn, and they stole the prescription without much effort. Luo Qingwen and Mu Xiyun looked at the prescription, but found nothing wrong.
To be on the safe side, Mu Xiyun copied one as it was, put it back on the cultivator, and brought the original party back to the Huichun Hall.
There were no turbulent days in the following days. The medical practitioners in Baihuagu treated the residents of the city one by one, and the patients improved one by one. The evaluation of Luo Ziqi by the people in the city was getting higher and higher.
Instead, Huang Zelin and his party were free. Later, seeing that Luo Qingwen had been fine, they simply returned to the array and continued to practice.
Half a month passed, and Mu Xiyuan faintly felt a change in the sea of consciousness. After two trainings in the magic circle, and there was a lot of training on the way, Mu Xiyuan had reached the back of the Golden Core.
With the previous experience, he is not in a hurry at this moment, but does what he wants. Several spiritual changes have been cleverly used by him to widen the meridians and prepare for future breakthroughs.
On this day, everyone was still sitting cross-legged in the formation, transforming their spiritual energy, and the sound of horse hooves came from afar, and Luo Qingwen came.
She was still wearing a light green dress, but she had worked hard to save people for days, her face darkened and her figure even thinner.
"Xiaowen!" Zhu Yicheng jumped up first and ran forward to help her lead the horse. Luo Qingwen whispered to him and came to greet the crowd.
Lovingly hugging her great-grandfather's arm, Luo Qingwen briefly recounted the recent events.
Everything in the city has returned to normal, even the barrier outside the city has been removed, and the residents of Hundred Flowers City are living a normal life again.
As for the Valley of Flowers, the owner of the Valley, Luo Jinan, has recovered from his injuries, and his skill is even better than before. Because Luo Ziqi was successful in saving his father, he also earned face for Baihua Valley in front of Baihua City and even the world. Now he is very popular with his father and is very popular in Baihua Valley.
As for himself, he can be considered to have contributed to the family, and Luo Jinan has returned to the attitude of indifference to her.
"Great grandfather, Xiaowen came here this time, firstly to find out what happened to the memory loss that day, and secondly," she smiled brightly at Huang Zelin: "You leave in a few days, and I want to follow you too. Let's go to the desert together!"
"Want to go to Jinxiu Village with me?" Huang Zelin pinched the tip of her nose and said with a smile, "No hurry, take care of yourself first."
"Take care of your body?" Luo Qingwen asked suspiciously, "Do I have some strange disease?"
"No," the smile on Huang Zelin's face gradually subsided: "You are probably hit by Gu!"
"Zhonggu?" Luo Qingwen shuddered.
"Don't be afraid, come," Huang Zelin hugged his great-granddaughter, greeted Gu Qingqiao, and the three walked to the residence.
When he came to the room, Gu Qingqiao took out a small porcelain bottle and said, "There is an elixir to lure Gu worms. It is not harmful to the human body. Take one and let Elder Huang show it to you."
Ever since Gu Qingqiao told Huang Zelin about Luo Qingwen's memory loss for a day, the old man has been worried about the safety of his great-granddaughter, and dragged Gu Qingqiao over and over to study Gu worms and antidote.
Fortunately, Gu Qingqiao still kept the mother-child Gu from Lin Xuewu, and there were many immortal flowers and spirit grasses in Baihua Valley. After half a month, the two finally found a way to eliminate the Gu.
Now, it is only necessary to verify that the treatment can be started.
After listening to Gu Qingqiao's explanation, Luo Qingwen obediently swallowed the elixir, and Huang Zelin injected a burst of True Qi into her wrist, which melted the pill and began to search for traces of Gu worms in her blood.
Not long after, Huang Zelin really found the mother Gu that was planted on Luo Qingwen.
He took a deep breath, met Luo Qingwen's eyes, and comforted: "I found it, I can remove it for you immediately."
Luo Qingwen frowned: "No, I don't want to remove it!"
Huang Zelin was taken aback and blurted out, "Why?"
Luo Qingwen smiled and said, "I am in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, which means that the person who is infested must be a person in the valley. This person may meet me every day, and he has a plan against me in the Valley of Hundred Flowers. If I remove the Gu bug from my body at this time, the intruder will notice it. Great-grandfather, can we control this bug?"
Huang Zelin looked at Gu Qingqiao, the two looked at each other for a moment, Gu Qingqiao nodded and said, "Give me two days, I have a solution."
"That's good!" Luo Qingwen smiled sweetly, "I finally came to the magic circle, and I will also go to practice." After saying that, she greeted Elder Huang with a smile, and walked into the splendid Sunlight.
In the evening two days later, Luo Qingwen came to the array again, and brought a lot of special snacks from Hundred Flowers City to everyone.
Others were eating and chatting in the hall, and the three avoided Huang Zelin's room.
Gu Qingqiao took out a pill and said to Luo Qingwen: "This pill can anesthetize the female worm and make it unconscious. After you take it, you can perceive the position of the worm and you can understand the location of the worm. When you need it in the future , invoke the spiritual power in the body and kill it directly. As for the daughter worm, after the mother worm is in a coma and loses nourishment, there will be an attack within seven days, and the help of others is needed to clear it up during the attack."
Luo Qingwen took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation. After a moment of silence, she pointed to her heart and said, "Here." Then she turned to Huang Zelin: "Great ancestor, these few days, I've been relying on the magic circle. ?"
"Okay, okay." Huang Zelin couldn't help but admire his great-granddaughter. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "The great-grandfather is guarding you and will definitely help you get rid of the worms!"
Gu Qingqiao walked out of the room with a smile and let the grandparents chat for a while.
In the outer hall, Su Yanjun had returned to the room, Qin Le went to look for Cheng Yinji, Zhu Yicheng tiptoed towards Luo Qingwen as soon as he saw Guqing Bridge coming out, leaving Mu Xiyuan alone with his chin resting on his arm, looking at Eating a lot of food on the table.
"What? There are too many things to eat, so I don't know what to eat?" Gu Qingqiao hugged him from behind, resting his chin on Mu Xiyun's head.
Mu Xiyun shook his head, turned his face and touched Gu Qingqiao's face, smiled, "I'll keep it for you."
Gu Qingqiao reached out and picked up a piece of dim sum and threw it into his mouth: "The moon is bright tonight, will you go out for a walk later?"
"Okay!" Seeing that there was still some scum around the corner of his mouth, Mu Xiyun took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and was about to wipe his mouth.
He took out the handkerchief, and a folded piece of tissue paper floated out from his sleeve.
It was the prescription that was stolen from the cultivator of Baihuagu that day.
The paper was very thin, and it happened that a gust of wind blew, and the piece of paper floated for a while and landed in front of the window.
Gu Qingqiao stood in front of the table, and after waiting for a long time, Mu Xiyun didn't get up. He looked around and saw that he was holding the piece of paper, frowning and crouching under the window.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qingqiao stepped forward.
Mu Xiyun stood up and didn't speak, reached out and handed him the prescription.
Under the moonlight, a snake ring mark connected end to end clearly appeared on the tissue paper, and it disappeared immediately after leaving the moonlight.
"It looks like," Gu Qingqiao whispered, "We have to go to the Witch Doctor Valley!"
Early the next morning, Cheng Yinji hurried over and gave Qin Le a jade slip. After a long while, Qin Le said goodbye to everyone with a heavy expression.
"There is also a plague in the north. There are not enough people on my brother's side. Call me back."
"How could this be? Wasn't Hundred Flowers City already closed at that time?" Zhu Yicheng exclaimed.
"It's not completely sealed, right?" Gu Qingqiao rubbed his chin: "Do you remember? When we went to investigate on the first day, two other large families were empty, and they said they went out to escape the summer. Maybe then They already have lung disease, they just don't take it seriously."
Everyone was silent.
Qin Le suddenly remembered something and asked, "If you know that there will be a disaster in a place, is waiting for the disaster to save people, does it count as accumulating merit?"
Everyone was inexplicably asked by him, but Gu Qingqiao frowned and said, "Tell me more!"
Qin Le hesitated for a while, and told everyone what he overheard when he went back to pick up Jasper Jue that day.
"It turns out to be like this." Zhu Yicheng shouted: "I know how Luo Ziqi cares about other people's sufferings and does not hesitate to save people under the pressure of the valley owner. It turns out that this is all arranged by him a long time ago!"
When the words came out, everyone was shocked.
Huang Zelin frowned and said, "Although there is no direct evidence that the outbreak of the plague is related to Luo Ziqi, the occurrence of the plague does not rule out the possibility of man-made. If this is the case," he patted Luo Qingwen's arm, "You It's not safe to be in the valley."
"If he really did it, I will definitely find him and apologize in front of the whole city!" Luo Qingwen's eyes were full of anger.
"Luo Ziqi is in the limelight now, and he has become a savior in the hearts of the people in the city. It is too early to move him." Huang Zelin sighed: "Xiaowen might as well go to the desert with me, stay away for a while, and wait for Luo Ziqi to go to the desert with me. Ziqi relaxed his vigilance and came back to look for clues."
Su Yanjun nodded and said: "The plague in other places may also be thought to have caused it. If you can catch the person who put the plague, and follow the vine, things will be much easier. Xiaole, your brother can say, where in the north has it occurred. Plague? I'll contact Mo Yunshan's local disciples to help the Qin family."
"Many places," Qin Le replied, "there are cases in Fengping, Dachuan, and Huqi."
Su Yanjun pondered for a while and said, "These places are not far from the magic circle, and the disciples of Moyun Mountain should be able to mobilize them." After speaking, he looked at Mu Xiyuan: "Junior Brother Mu, we were originally going to inspect the five major circles. I've gone through two now. But there have been many accidents along the way, and it has already delayed a lot of time. Why don't I go to the north with Xiaole to help them get through the epidemic and inspect Xuanbing Ridge and Endless Grassland. You and Wanbo will go to Crescent Moon City."
Mu Xiyuan nodded: "Okay, I understand what to do with the inspection of the magic circle, senior brother, don't worry. I have something else to do..." He told everyone what he found last night.
Everyone discussed in detail, and finally decided that Su Yanjun and Qin Le immediately set off for the north, Mu Xiyuan and Gu Qingqiao went to the Witch Doctor Valley first, and then turned to the desert Crescent City, while Huang Zelin's grandson and Zhu Yicheng were on Luo Qingwen. After dealing with the Gu worms, go to Jinxiu Village in the desert.
Gathering for such a long time, during the life and death, the young people are a little reluctant to part. They had no choice but to have their own tasks, and after saying goodbye to each other, they still embarked on their own paths.
Mu Xiyun and Gu Qingqiao stepped on the stone slab again, and as the ropeway slowly ascended, the whole picture of Baihua Valley was displayed in front of them again, and the magnificent scenery made people linger.
Seeing the nostalgia on Mu Xiyuan's face, Gu Qingqiao whispered in his ear, "It's okay, we will come here often in the future, okay?"
Mu Xiyun looked up at his face and smiled slowly: "Well, we agreed to go to a small village to retreat, don't be rude!"
The two smiled at each other and walked into the sun together.
