The two of them worked together to set up the flower softener and prepared to enter the house.
However, Tang Ji appeared silently like a ghost behind the two and struck their necks with his hand, causing them to fall over with their eyes rolled back.
Tang Jing stretched out his hand and grabbed Hua Rou's clothes, pulling her into his own arms.
Hua Rou was unconscious at the moment, Tang Ji touched her neck pulse and put her on the ground, then he quickly entered the house.
Inside the house, there are piles of boxes filled with various products that have been contributed by each household to exchange for points.
Why set fire? These are all materials submitted by everyone...
Tang Jing looked around suspiciously, then suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and pried open one of the boxes. To his surprise, the box was filled with straw and several scattered mechanical parts.
Tang Jing hastily opened three more boxes in a row and found that the inside was either empty or only had a few things scattered about.
Tang Jing's face turned dark, and after a brief moment of hesitation, he immediately rushed out of the house, picked up Hua Rou, and quickly flew away from the courtyard.
As for those two disciples who were knocked unconscious, they still lay on the ground without regaining consciousness.
……
Hua Rou's body trembled as she lay in bed and opened her eyes.
"Are you awake?"
Hua Rong stared blankly at the figure that appeared before her eyes for a full two seconds, then quickly scanned her surroundings and found herself in the western wing of the house: "I, I'm not..."
What's going on? I'm at home, aren't I? Wasn't I caught...
"You fainted and scared me half to death when you fell in after pushing the door open." Linlin handed her a glass of water.
She took it with a soft and bewildered expression, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"You must be exhausted these days, take a good rest, I'll help you pick the herbs today."
Ling Ling finished speaking and left.
Hua Rou put the water cup on the bedside table and lay down on the bed.
What's going on? Was everything just now a dream?
She turned over on the bed, suddenly sat up, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, took out the scroll and browsed through it.
I smelled the fragrance of Osmanthus and lemongrass, I also smelled the taste of Sagebrush and Mustard seed...... I remember that mixing these things together can be......
Hua Rou's slender fingers paused in front of a line of words.
"Is it an illusion? Those who are in a trance-like state are like puppets, acting according to orders, and after waking up, they have no perception or memory?"
The scroll fell to the ground, and Hua Rou hugged her own shoulders in terror.
Why?
Why do they want to harm me?
Why should I set fire? Why... wait!
Hua Rou was bewildered: "They drugged me just now, how come I'm fine and back in the poison room? How did I get back?"
……
Tang Lei and Tang Shi Qi sat in the main seat, their faces shocked as they stared at the two disciples kneeling on the ground.
"Are you sure 'Liberation' toxin is ineffective on her?" Tang Shiqi's voice was sharp, clearly the ineffectiveness of Liberation was unthinkable to her.
"The disciple is certain, otherwise it would also be a failure."
"Why don't you just force it?" Tang Lei asked with a gloomy face.
"Master, we caught Hua Rou and were about to throw her into the fire, but someone hit us from behind. When we woke up, everyone was surrounding us..."
Tang Shi Qi's heart tightened at the words, and she looked uneasily at Tang Lei: "It can't be..."
Tang Lei raised his hand to stop her from continuing and hastily said to the two of them: "Alright, you can go down now. This matter cannot be known by anyone."
The two disciples were like amnesty, and they quickly retreated as soon as they heard the voice.
"Le Ge, could it be that 'Yu Li' is actually a useless thing? Or maybe..." Tang Shi Qi saw them leave and said to her husband with her own speculation: "Have we been exposed?"
"Don't worry, we're still safe for now." Tang Lei said as he comforted Tang Shi Qi, but the gloom in his eyes grew thicker: "Even if it's exposed, what can be done? She handled it this way, clearly not wanting to tear her face off with us at this time. Like this, have someone move everything back tonight."
"Take it back? Wouldn't we have done it in vain?"
"Just pretend to be ignorant, after all, it's not time to turn against her yet. Since she is willing to cover up, we should also pretend not to know."
Tang Shi Qi sighed dejectedly: "Alas, it can only be like this. However, that Hua Rou..."
"Haven't you figured out the details yet?"
Tang Shi Qi shook her head.
Tang Lei rolled his eyes: "If it's not that 'Wander' is ineffective, but rather she can counter the poison of 'Wander', I'm afraid her background... isn't simple."
"Could it be that she and Mu Qunwu are actually people secretly nurtured by Grandmaster, infiltrating the Tang Sect in this way to counter us?"
Tang Lei thought for a moment: "It's not impossible, anyway. Be careful and observe the changes first!"
……
At dusk, Tang Xiao toured the mountain and arrived near the medicine field. From a distance, he saw a slender figure squatting there busily.
"Hua Rou." Tang Xiao murmured softly, a smile rising on his face as he quickly walked towards the medicine field.
It's been almost half a month since he last saw Hua Rou.
"Hua Rou!" As soon as he arrived at the medicine field, he softly called out to her. When the people in the medicine field stood up, the smile on his face suddenly became awkward and lost.
"Tang Xiao Shixiong." Linlin bowed and greeted: "Hua Rou is tired, I'll take her place to pick today. Do you have something to ask her?"
"It's nothing... it's nothing!" Tang Xiao smiled reluctantly: "That... the sky is getting dark, hurry up and finish picking so we can head down the mountain early!"
"Got it." Linlin replied and turned around to continue picking, while Tang Xiao quickly left the medicine field.
The next morning, Hua Rou met Mu Junwu as usual by the medicine field and exchanged blows. After just two hits, the branch in her hand flew out.
"What's on your mind, you're so distracted?"
I think something is off about you. In the past, Hua Rou was very focused when exchanging blows with him, and it would take dozens of moves before she started to tire.
Nothing, didn't think of anything.
Admiring you, I see the flower soft and wanting to speak but stopping, lowering her eyes and dropping the branch in her hand, sitting on the ground: "Your heart is not calm, no need to practice."
Hua Rou heard this and quickly squatted down beside Mu Jun: "Mu big brother, don't be angry, I just...just...just because today is the last time we're handing things over, I don't know if you'll still teach me in the future..."
She actually wanted to mention the danger she encountered yesterday, but when it came to her mouth, she swallowed it back. She really couldn't gauge how terrifying the undercurrent was and didn't dare to drag him in rashly.
"Is it just for this?" Mu Junwu sighed helplessly with a bitter smile: "From now on, I'll come here every morning to teach you."
"Really? Mu Ge is too good! Ah, right, I have some characters I don't recognize, you'll have to teach me."
Hua Rou immediately handed the scroll to Mu Junwu. Mu Junwu took a look at the color of the scroll and asked, "New?"
"Yeah, the other day Master said I'm making rapid progress, so she passed on the Three Pure Ones' Scripture to me too. However, she said this one requires self-enlightenment. The problem is there are some characters here that I don't recognize and have no idea what they mean."
Longing for you, I unroll the scroll, and Hua's gentle fingers point at the characters on the scroll: "This one, this one, and that one, this one..."
"One by one."
Admiring Jun, I started teaching Hua Rou one word at a time, but while teaching, his eyes scanned the contents of the scroll. When Hua Rou learned and understood the meaning of three words, he had already memorized the contents of this volume.
