When the saint saw the large water bag used for marching, she wished she could roll her eyes and pass out.
Qiao Wei weighed the water sac, tsk, this capacity is the rhythm of draining people, but that's fine, meditation didn't specify how much blood is needed, what if I don't collect enough blood? And he has never tried meditation before, what if he is not very proficient and his hands shake? There is a risk of waste, so it is better to collect more to be safe.
Qiao Wei walked towards the saint.
The saint has been completely beaten to the ground, and she has no power to fight back. She stared at Qiao Wei with resentment in her eyes, and the cold light in her eyes almost tore Qiao Wei into pieces.
Qiao Wei walked over nonchalantly, and slapped her on the forehead: "What are you staring at? You are a prisoner and dare to stare at your aunt! Believe it or not, your aunt stripped your clothes?!"
The saint's face flushed with anger: "You... shameless!"
Qiao Wei smiled lightly: "Are you shameless? Doves occupy the magpie's nest, rob my house, confuse my grandfather, blame me, and I can't be canonized. You did all the messy things, and you have the nerve to call me shameless? Do you know? How do you write the word shameless?"
A trace of hatred flashed across the eyes of the saint: "That's the true God..."
"God, you sister!" Qiao Wei drank so much that her body shook, she was now a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, what Qiao Wei wanted to do, she was powerless to resist, Qiao Wei grabbed her arm, rolled up her sleeve, and stabbed her with a needle break her veins.
What is more unbearable than the pain is probably this kind of humiliation at the mercy of others. As a saint whom everyone admires, she has never been treated like this.
Qiao Wei pressed her veins, and the blood flowed into the water bag like money.
After taking the blood, she seemed to be a little lighter, her complexion was as pale as a layer of wax paper, and her lips were bloodless.
"Actually, this is the normal amount of blood donation." But the blood donors are all healthy and normal. Someone who lost a lot of blood yesterday after falling from the altar, and contributed a water bladder today, can be said to be super overdrawn.
Considering that she can't make any troubles right now, Qiao Wei gave her "post-operative treatment" very thoughtfully.
The mother and daughter left the Holy Maiden Hall with heavy water bags.
The holy lady and the others stepped into the room. The room was in a mess, as if someone had fought. The holy lady was lying powerlessly on the bed, her face paler than before.
The Great Sage's face turned cold, and she called Lingzhi inside: "What's going on here?"
Lingzhi looked at the mess in the house and felt panic for a while. After being scared away by Dolma, she didn't dare to guard the door, so she went to the yard. How did she know such a thing
She lowered her head in fear: "Dolma wouldn't let me in and drove me out. I didn't know she would..."
Sanshengnu slapped her and knocked Ganoderma lucidum to the ground: "Don't you know what kind of temper she is? Don't you know how much she dislikes our Saintess Hall? How dare you let her be alone with the Saintess?" Together! You are pushing into the fire pit!"
Ganoderma lucidum knelt down and said tremblingly, "Holy Aunt, spare me!"
Sanshenggu wanted to beat her, but Da Shenggu raised her hand: "Forget it, let her go out!"
Sanshenggu put down his hands coldly, and Ganoderma lucidum crawled out.
The great sage sat down on the stool beside the bed, her face was very ugly, it was supposed to be the Holy Maiden Palace to find He Lanqing's fault today, to teach He Lanqing a lesson, but He Lanqing taught him a lesson instead .
The second saint is dead, the teeth of the fourth saint and the fifth saint are knocked out, and the saint is tortured...
How many years has the Hall of the Holy Maiden not suffered this kind of grievance
Back then, when the priests were so brilliant, there was no incense, no believers in the Saintess Hall, and they used to be human beings with their tails between their legs. But since they took power, the whole island belongs to them. No one dares to despise them, let alone Said that the bullying was on their heads!
The great sage took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, turned her head to look at the sage who was so weak that she seemed to die at any moment, and said, "Bring my Ningxiang pill."
San Shengnu took out a small porcelain bottle from her wide sleeve, uncorked the bottle, poured out a brown pill, and handed it to Da Shenggu.
The great sage feeds the saint.
Ningxiang Pill is the secret pill of the Temple of the Holy Maiden, which can heal internal injuries and restore vitality.
After taking the Ningxiang pill, the saint finally had a little strength and slowly opened her eyes.
The Great Sage asked, "What did the mother and daughter do to you?"
The saint said weakly but angrily: "They took my blood."
Sanshengnu didn't understand, so she said, "What are you doing for taking your blood? They want to kill you?"
The Great Sage shook her head: "They don't have the guts yet."
The saint pondered for a moment, then glanced over the several saintesses, and asked suspiciously, "Where is the second saintess?"
Suddenly mentioning her younger sister, Da Shenggu's face darkened even more.
The fourth sage said sadly: "The second sage... the second sage was killed by He Lanqing..."
"What?" The saint covered her chest, and the severe pain made her frown.
The fourth sage and the fifth sage narrated the incident outside the hall from beginning to end. The two of them were also the direct victims of this incident. One of their front teeth was knocked out. They will not be able to meet people when they go out in the future. We can't find fault with He Lanqing, after all, the place where the incident happened has already passed the stone monument of the Holy Maiden Hall, if we really investigate, it is an unforgivable sin for them to form an army to kill He Lanqing.
So this dumb loss, the Temple of the Holy Maiden will be settled.
San Shengnu said angrily: "Originally, an old one is difficult enough to deal with, but now there is a young one, that little Dolma and her mother are so virtuous! They don't even pay attention to my Saintess Palace! If the position of Hezhuo falls into the hands of this mother and daughter in the future, will our Saintess Palace still have a way out?"
The fourth sage touched her sore mouth and said, "That's right, neither of these mother and daughter are good enemies! One He Lanqing is hard enough to deal with, and now here comes little Dolma again! That little Dolma is not good enough!" Little, they even found the Bright Moon Pearl, and if things go on like this, their arrogance will become more and more arrogant, and our Saintess Hall will only have no way to gain a foothold!"
The fifth sage also agreed very much: "We must find a way to get rid of them! Otherwise, we are afraid that our hall of saints will usher in a catastrophe!"
The sixth sage who had been silent all this time spoke up. She was a former saint and had the most dealings with He Lanqing, and she was also familiar with He Lanqing's character. The bandit, she either does not make a move, and if she does, she will goug a few knives from the other party's body. Such delicate work as bloodletting is not like an idea she can think of.
Things are... far from simple.
"You guys take it easy and don't be impatient." The Sixth Aunt said, "It's better to find out why they want to take the blood of the saint before making any plans."
…
After Qiao Wei brought the saint's blood back to Helan Castle, she immediately went to find Ji Mingxiu.
Ji Mingxiu taught the two children to read and write in the study room. The children had not been to a private school since they left the Rhinoceros Village. They were all taught by Ji Mingxiu. He taught them very well. Both children made great progress, and it was Wang Shu. This kind of naughty bastard, as long as he sits on Daddy's lap, he will be very obedient.
Ji Mingxiu hugged Wang Shu, held her chubby hand, and led her to practice calligraphy stroke by stroke.
Jing Yun practiced by himself on the sidelines. Occasionally, he would look up enviously. He also wanted his father to catch his handwriting, but his handwriting was already very good, so his father said no.
well.
Jing Yun sighed like an adult.
Qiao Wei leaned against the door frame, her eyes swept over a pair of cute little babies, and finally fell on Ji Mingxiu.
Ji Mingxiu wore a sky-blue robe, his back was as straight as a pine, his temperament was like bamboo, and his tall body was like a faint color under the moon, which made people feel amazing quietly.
Ji Mingxiu turned his head, saw Qiao Wei, and smiled slightly.
Qiao Wei felt that she couldn't breathe well. What is a big man doing so good-looking
Gathering his mind, Qiao Wei entered the room, and Ji Mingxiu knew what she was here for, so he hugged Wang Shu down: "Let's practice here today, let's go play with my brother."
The two little buns kissed Qiao Wei and went happily.
Qiao Wei put the water bag on the table: "Are these enough?"
Ji Mingxiu looked at the huge water sac on the table, his eyelids twitched wildly, are you going to kill a pig...
…
With the saint's blood, the antidote can be prepared next, but the poison that He Zhuo was poisoned by is not unusually poisonous. In fact, it is poisoned on the human body and does not cause any damage to the human body. The owner is fine. People who are poisoned can also live a long life, but if the entire Helan family is restrained because of this, they have to be cruelly eliminated.
Before undoing this kind of voodoo, a small sacrifice needs to be completed. Although Ji Mingxiu does not believe in ghosts and gods, it is written so in the book, so he still did it.
The materials required for the sacrifice are quite special. The flowers are not ordinary flowers, but white orchids from the abyss of ghosts. , and all of them are difficult to buy in the market.
"Then make it to order." Qiao Wei said.
Ji Mingxiu nodded: "Lamps and incense can be customized. Tea, flowers, and fruits need to be picked in the Abyss of Hundred Ghosts. There are also some medicinal materials. You can go and see if there are any in the medicine storehouse in Helanbao. If not, you have to let them People go to the streets to buy, or go to the mountains to pick."
In the afternoon, Qiao Wei asked Lady Qingyan to take her to the pharmacy.
Yan Feijue, Yi Qianyin, and Ji Wushuang dived into the abyss to pick the things they needed. They have been to the abyss several times, and they have seen basically everything on the list and know where they can be picked. Among them, the white orchid is It grew up in that mysterious valley, just to be on the safe side, Yi Qianyin took Dabai away, and when he got to the door, he was still a little worried, so he turned around and took Zhuer away as well.
Ji Wushuang is in charge of picking tea. This is a kind of wild tea. There is a small hillside near the place where they dug out the dragon's blood tree. There are a few wild tea trees growing on it. It is close to the north entrance, so there is nothing to be afraid of. , Ji Wushuang went alone.
Hearing that medicinal materials still needed to be picked, Qiao Zheng decided to go with him without hesitation, so Yan Feijue decided to go with him.
Qiao Zheng wanted to pack his tools, so he started later than Yi Qianyin and Yan Fei, and Yan Fei waited in his room bored.
Boom boom boom.
Someone knocked on the door.
"Brother Yan, are you there?"
It was a woman's voice.
Yan Feijue folded the list in his hand and stuffed it into his wide sleeve: "Yes, come in."
The woman pushed open the door and walked in with a cane.
Yan Feijue said expressionlessly: "You are not resting in the house, what are you doing running out?"
The woman sat down beside him, and said softly: "The weather is nice today, and the sun is quite warm. I have been recuperating in the room all these days, almost moldy, so I want to go out for a walk and pass by your door. By the way See if you're there."
Yan Fei looked unwilling to talk to her.
The woman smiled embarrassingly: "Can you go out for a walk with me, Brother Yan?"
Yan Feijue said coldly: "I have something to do in the afternoon, you can go by yourself."
"That's it." The woman lowered her head tactfully, "Then I won't bother you anymore, so leave."
After all, the woman stood up with a cane, probably from serious injuries, her figure was precarious, and she almost fell several times.
Yan Feijue looked at her, his eyelashes trembled, and he turned his face away.
After walking a few steps, the woman suddenly let out an exclamation and fell straight backwards.
Yan Feijue stepped forward and grabbed her arm. She grabbed Yan Feijue's hand and stabilized her body. Because of the force, she crashed into his arms.
The fragrant and soft body filled Yan Feijue's arms, and the fragrance of a woman came to his nostrils. Yan Feijue's cheeks felt hot, and when he pushed her away, she took two steps back and fell to the ground!
Yan Feijue clenched his fists and walked out quickly.
He stood at the door, calmed his disordered breathing, touched his sleeve, found that the note was missing, and hurried back to the house, and saw the woman with a cane in one hand and a note in the other, looking at him fixedly: "Yan Brother, your things have been dropped."
Yan Feijue grabbed the note casually and walked out without looking back.
…
It was night, and the Saintess Hall received the news. Several saintesses were sitting in the saintess' room, discussing the big plan together.
The great sage said: "They went to pick white orchids, wild tea leaves, Cuishan fruits and some medicinal materials, and ordered people to order incense lamps."
Aunt Sansheng asked suspiciously: "Aren't these things used for sacrifices? What are they buying these things for? Are they going to sacrifice at home?"
For the Tana tribe, sacrifice is a very serious matter, not everyone is qualified, and of course not everyone understands it. Since Helanbao is the royal family on the island, all matters of sacrifice will be handled by the Holy Maiden Hall.
Aunt Six said thoughtfully: "The sacrifice just after the blood collection, I feel that this matter is aimed at the saint."
The Four Sages said: "Do they want to cast witchcraft on the saint?"
Aunt Liusheng said: "It's hard to say."
The Sanshenggu suddenly thought: "They...could it be because they want to cure the voodoo on He Zhuo?"
The Great Sage was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "Impossible, the solution to this kind of voodoo has long been lost, and our Saintess Hall can't do it, how can they do it? Let's not get confused, wait until the Saintess wakes up." Think long term."
…
After nightfall, several waves of people returned to Helan Castle one after another. The medicinal materials that should be bought were bought, and the things that needed to be customized were also customized. Because Qiao Wei offered a high price, within a few hours, the merchants put the things away. Made it out. As for Qiao Zheng and the others, they also successfully picked the items they needed.
Ji Mingxiu said, "Find a place where no one will disturb you."
Helanbao said it was quite big, but there were guards and maids guarding almost every corner, so it was actually not easy to find a place where no one would bother you.
After walking around for a while, I finally found a small courtyard where no one would live for a long time.
The maid guarding the yard was sick, and the person who came to replace her had not yet arrived, so it was convenient for Ji Mingxiu.
Ji Mingxiu walked around the yard, looking around while walking, his steps fluctuating, and he muttered something mysteriously.
Qiao Wei and He Lan stood guard at the entrance of the yard. Qiao Wei glanced at her husband-in-law and took a breath in confusion: "Mother, what is he doing? He walks here and there for a while, isn't he still there?" Have you chosen a good place?"
"He is walking in a formation."
"What formation?"
"Mother doesn't understand very well."
Her mother didn't understand, and she didn't understand even more. Qiao Wei looked at her husband in a daze, but even though she didn't understand, she still felt that he was very powerful.
Ji Mingxiu stood in front of the sacrificial table, with his back turned to Qiao Wei. Qiao Wei couldn't see the movements in his hands, but he picked up a sword. The moonlight shone on him, casting his shadow It was very long, and the night wind blew his toga, hunting and dancing in the dark night, I don't know if it was an illusion or something else, Qiao Wei always felt that Ji Mingxiu at this moment was a bit strange, neither the high-ranking prime minister nor Han Han. Holding a golden spoon, the young master of the Ji family seems to have become another person, standing proudly in the world, with a fairy-like demeanor and a world of excellence.
He Lanqing's gaze was always on Ji Mingxiu's back, and his red lips curled into a slight smile.
Thinking of something, Qiao Wei tickled her mother's finger and said: "By the way, mother, I haven't asked you why you arranged this marriage for me in the first place. I heard from Mingxiu and Dad that you planned it." The first queen forced her to agree to this marriage."
He Lanqing said: "Isn't mother afraid that the bastards in the clan will catch you back? One time, mother accidentally broke into Ji's house, and then her chest hurt badly. Mother quickly turned out, and the pain disappeared. Now, mother thought it was very strange, and tried many times, but every time as soon as mother entered Ji's house, she would feel unbearable pain, mother threw your father in, but your father was fine, after that, mother threw many people I went in and checked, and they were all fine."
Qiao Wei imagined the scene of her mother throwing someone into the wall of Ji's house, and her face was instantly covered with black lines.
He Lan narrowed his eyes and said, "Mother was just thinking, maybe this Ji family is the forbidden land of the Tana people."
Qiao Wei blinked: "Tana people still have forbidden land?"
He Lanqing nodded: "I used to have it, but after I moved to the island, it disappeared."
Qiao Wei suddenly realized: "Mother suspects that the place where Ji's family lives is the forbidden area of the Tana people."
He Lanqing thought for a while: "It's about the same. In short, as long as you marry into Ji's family and don't come out, those bastards will have nothing to do with you."
Qiao Wei once complained that her mother left without saying goodbye and never heard from her, but at this moment, she really understood her painstaking efforts.
Just because she won't cry doesn't mean she won't be sad.
She must have had a hard time during these years of separation.
Qiao Wei squeezed her mother's hand tightly: "No wonder Senna Eagle is so good at martial arts, but he never broke into Ji's house to 'catch' me. Come to think of it, he can't enter. But..."
Speaking of this, Qiao Wei thought of the guy wearing the mask, that guy is also from the island, how can he come and go freely in Ji's house
This doubt was not answered, and another doubt jumped out of my mind, "Mother, many aristocratic families have forbidden places, but I have never heard that they will feel uncomfortable after passing through the forbidden places. Take the forbidden place of the Qiao family as an example. There is a wild mountain forest, where there are fierce beasts infesting, and people are not allowed to enter because they are afraid of being attacked by fierce beasts. This is the origin of Qiao's forbidden area; I have never entered the forbidden area of Ji's family, but I have not gone either. It will hurt all over, why is the forbidden area of the Tana tribe so strange?"
He Lan sighed: "Mother is not very clear."
As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of wind blew outside the courtyard. Qiao Wei raised her eyes and looked towards the endless sky. She saw that the stars and the bright moon that filled the sky had all disappeared at some point, and dark clouds rolled over from the sky. The dome seemed to be pressed down a bit.
After a while, the wind was strong, and the branches and leaves were rustling.
Standing under the light and shadow, Ji Mingxiu seemed to be frozen, motionless. Just when Qiao Wei wanted to ask how he was doing, he finished the sacrifice.
He turned around and walked over here.
Qiao Wei looked here, thinking that he didn't seem to be doing anything, but when he got closer, he realized that his face was covered with sweat. Qiao Wei touched the back of his neck, and even his clothes were soaked.
"Wow." Qiao Wei exclaimed.
Ji Mingxiu handed a bowl of talisman water to He Lanqing: "Give it to He Zhuo. After an hour, take the medicine. After ten days of continuous use, the voodoo will be cured."
He Lanqing took the bowl and raised the corners of her lips casually: "Okay, I will let them linger for a few more days!"
…
"It's not good, it's not good!"
A maid stumbled into the saint's dormitory. The saint was so badly injured that she lost the strength to drink the medicine. The saintess just managed to pour the medicine down for her, and the bowl was not cold at this moment. Then someone rushed in.
Dashengnu's face darkened: "What happened?"
Lingzhi asked the maid, her complexion changed, she walked up to several saintesses, and reported: "Just got the news, they are going to cure He Zhuo of voodoo!"
"What?" All the saints were startled.
Aunt Sansheng said: "Is this true? Don't get me wrong!"
Ganoderma lucidum shook his head and said: "No, the spies we placed beside them said that the sacrificial things they got today are all for He Zhuo's detoxification of witchcraft, and those medicinal materials are also used for detoxification! "
San Shenggu looked puzzled and said, "Elder Sister, didn't you say that the solution to the poison of witchcraft has been lost?"
Shocked, the Great Sage frowned thoughtfully: "It should be lost... Where did they know about it..."
The Fourth Sacred Aunt didn't want this to be true, so she said, "Maybe they just do it casually, but it may not be effective. Let's stop worrying too much."
As the oldest senior, Dashenggu thinks things more comprehensively than ordinary people. She said solemnly: "I would rather be worrying about nothing. As the saying goes, it is better to believe what you have than to believe what you don't have. He Lan Come prepared, Little Dolma and the group of people around her are not easy, if we take it lightly, we will be the ones who suffer in the end!"
Sanshengnu replied: "Elder Sister is right, it is always right to be careful when sailing for ten thousand years, and to be prepared!"
The fourth sage was refuted, and she felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't stand up to the two senior senior sisters, so she could only sigh: "Then... what should we do? The sage is so weak now, and there is no way to enter Helan Castle to stop her." He Zhuo."
He Zhuo has always favored the saint, and trusted her more than He Lanqing. If the saint could come forward, he would definitely be able to prevent He Zhuo from drinking their antidote.
The Fifth Sacred Aunt was also not very convinced: "In my opinion, it's okay to solve it, at worst, I'll give He Zhuo another voodoo later!"
Dashengnu said coldly: "Do you think that with He Lanqing's current vigilance, do we still have a chance to succeed?"
"Then what should we do?" Wu Shengnu asked anxiously.
The Great Sage was silent for a while, and waved to Lingzhi: "Come here."
Lingzhi stepped forward.
The Great Sage whispered a few words in her ear, and Lingzhi nodded: "Yes, I understand, I remember it."
…
He Lanqing returned to He Zhuo's bedroom and poured a bowl of talisman water down to her father. It was really pouring. Qiao Wei looked at his grandfather rolling his eyes and felt deeply that her grandfather would not There is no need to detoxify, and you can go directly to see the true god.
Qiao Zheng boiled the medicine in the dining room. The medicine was first boiled in boiling water, and then it had to be simmered slowly. Only one pot of water was boiled until there was only one bowl left.
"Let me come, son-in-law." A maid in the dining room said kindly.
Qiao Zheng shook the fan that fanned the fire, and said politely: "No need, it's getting late, you all go to rest."
The maids dare not.
Qiao Zheng said, "Let Dolma see me in the room alone with you, she should be angry."
The maids turned pale and ran away.
Although the crime of dereliction of duty is serious, but offending Dolma, the end is even worse.
Qiao Zheng smiled and boiled medicine for the old man with peace of mind.
"Master Joe."
A gentle voice sounded at the door.
Qiao Zheng turned his head, saw her, and said casually, "It's you, what are you doing here?"
The woman said softly: "Brother Yan was injured while picking medicine, I want to make some soup for him."
Yan Feijue was indeed caught by thorns while gathering herbs, and the several long cuts on the back of his hand have already been treated. A martial arts practitioner has a strong body, so there shouldn't be any serious problems.
This girl should take the opportunity to show some courtesy to Yan Feijue.
Qiao Zheng snorted, "You can do it yourself."
The woman walked into the dining room with a cane, leaned the cane against the wall, limped around, found some ginseng, and found a bowl of fresh raw chicken nuggets, and started cooking on her own.
The woman smiled and said, "Master Qiao, it's so late, why don't you go to rest? Shall I help you look after it?"
"No need." Qiao Zheng said flatly.
The woman put the ingredients into the pot and said, "I'll go out for a while, Mr. Qiao, help me watch the fire."
"Yes." Qiao Zheng replied casually.
The woman limped out with a cane.
Qiao Zheng had been sitting here for quite a while, wanting to go to the toilet, but he was worried about leaving the medicine jar here, as he would have known that he would not have let the two maids leave just now.
Qiao Zheng stood at the door and looked around, and saw a cleaning maid not far away, and asked her to come over and watch, don't tell the fire to go out, don't make it too big, and don't let anyone touch it.
The cleaning maid responded, and Qiao Zheng went to the Gong room.
When the woman returned to the dining room, she saw the maid at the sweeper, and said politely, "Master Qiao is gone?"
The cleaning maid said, "The son-in-law has gone to the toilet."
The woman smiled, limped to the stove, opened the lid of the pot, and scooped up a spoonful of soup: "I don't have much taste in my mouth recently, can you taste it for me?"
The cleaning maid looked at her hesitantly for a while, feeling that something was wrong in her heart, but the ginseng soup was too fragrant, and she was indeed a little hungry, so she stepped forward and took a sip of the ginseng soup. It tasted good, and she still wanted to drink it. He scooped up a big bowl for her, and added a lot of chicken nuggets.
The cleaning maid was flattered: "This... this..."
The woman smiled and said: "Don't be embarrassed, I have endured so much, Brother Yan can't finish it by himself, you sit down and eat slowly."
The cleaning maid swallowed her saliva, finally accepted her kindness, sat behind the stove, and ate small mouthfuls.
She was a little embarrassed to eat, and looked up at the woman. The woman smiled softly, and she smiled too. She continued to bury her head and ate the chicken in the bowl.
The woman's smile gradually faded, and she started to work in the dining room with a cane.
"Shall I help you?" Sasao the maid asked.
The woman smiled very gently: "No, brother Yan doesn't like to eat things made by others."
Now she is staring at Feng Qingge's face, and she smiles beautifully, as bright as spring.
No one has ever smiled at herself like this before, and the maid who sans and sweeps feels warm in her heart, and eating a few pieces from the bowl makes her feel more palatable.
The woman walked to the medicine jar and looked back at the cleaning maid. She was eating well and didn't notice that she was already close to the medicine jar.
With the cover of her figure, the woman took out a pack of medicinal powder from her bosom, and sprinkled it into the jar without leaving a trace.
