Chapter 72

Although Mu Mingtang did not understand, he could probably guess that it was not a good thing when he heard such words.

Mu Mingtang asked: "how to use poison to fight poison?"

The little Taoist said, "it's easy to say. After being eroded by the smell of wuyufei for a long time, suddenly smelling the smell of Yaoyin will be out of control. It is impossible to resist with the help of external force. You can only try to restrain yourself with your mind. If you get used to it many times, you won't be led away by Yaoyin. "

"So you mean "

" we'll find our own medicine to make him sick. Of course, the initial dose is very small. After he can control it, he gradually increases the ingredients, and finally completely burns the root of wuyufei. If he can endure it for an hour in a sealed room where there is a fire of medicine, it will not be enough for him to fear

In order to prevent smallpox, people will deliberately let children touch the scabs that fall from people who have smallpox. The scabs are attenuated. If children can resist, they will not have to worry about smallpox for the rest of their lives. If you can't resist It's up to fate.

The treatment plan proposed by the Taoist priest is similar to smallpox vaccination, and the mechanism is the same.

However, after all, if it really fell on him, Mu Mingtang still frowned: "I understand the truth, but in case..."

Xie xuanchen pressed Mu Mingtang's hand and said, "there's no just in case. This method is OK. Just do as he says. "

At the beginning, the Taoist priest worried that Xie xuanchen would not cooperate. After all, these princes and grandchildren were spoiled since childhood, and they didn't even touch the water at their fingertips. Xie xuanchen may not be willing to suffer from this kind of treatment for mental and physical double torture. Now Xie xuanchen's cooperation can't be better.

The little Taoist said, "it's easier to say if you want to. But the irony is that this method is very painful, and it will only become more and more painful. Although you agree now, you can't blame me when you feel uncomfortable later. "

"No way." Xie xuanchen did not explain more, just said, "let's go."

The little Taoist scratched his head and said, "it's just my guess. There's still a lot to prepare for the real implementation. First of all, we need a quiet and strong room. Wuyufei's effect is very evil, and your lethality is a little too great. For the sake of safety, when you smell the medicine, you should be shut in the room alone. "

"Good."

"And during my treatment, I can't be disturbed. By the way, you pay for the medicine yourself. "

This Taoist priest is a real money fan. Xie xuanchen doesn't even think about it. He still says, "OK."

"Then there's only one question left." The Taoist priest showed some embarrassed look and said, "wuyufei only produces in southern Xinjiang. I haven't seen it before. It will take a while to prepare the medicine guide. So, at least I can't start treatment until I buy wuyufei. "

Mu Mingtang did not know why he was relieved and said, "OK, it's better to slow down for a while. During this time, let him recover first. "

Mu Mingtang is really scared when he listens. He wants to induce Xie xuanchen to get sick on purpose. Then he has to hold back and shut himself up in a small room Every word that the little Taoist said made Mu Mingtang jump. She was very worried just listening to it. If she could relax for a while and let Xie xuanchen recover, it would be the best.

Xie xuanchen has always been quiet, but this time he raised an objection: "I have a medicine guide."

"What?"

"I have a medicine guide in my hand." Xie xuanchen's eyes were cold, his lips were light, and even his tone was light as a puff of smoke. "Don't wait. Let's start now."

Hear Xie xuanchen's words, Mu Mingtang also slowly remember, before she had no intention to find a incense ball in the cabinet. On that day, although they deliberately put the incense ball back in place, they scraped a lot of incense ashes out of it.

If this is really a medicinal guide, the ash contains the property of black feather flying root, but because it has been burned, the property will naturally weaken. It is indeed a good choice to meet the requirements of the Taoist priest.

Mu Mingtang wants to talk but stops. He looks anxiously at Xie xuanchen. Xie xuanchen always followed her before, but this time he was determined.

The little Taoist didn't know Mu Mingtang's psychological activities. He raised his eyebrow happily and said, "it's so good that you have it! Anyway, the amount needed in the initial stage is small. I'll deal with it with yours first. When I can increase the dosage, I'm afraid I'll buy wuyufei. By the way, remember to quote me for the medicine. "

Little Taoist can't do without money, but mu Mingtang is not even in the mood to take care of him now. Xie xuanchen silently tightened Mu Mingtang's hand, put her hand on his knee, indicating that she was OK.

Then Xie xuanchen looked at the Taoist priest and said, "you don't have to worry about money and venues. When can it start? "

"I still need two pairs of medicine. Although you can bear it by yourself, you need to take medicine before and after. About two days. When I have the medicine ready, I can start

Xie xuanchen nodded and fixed the time in a few words: "OK, at the end of the next year, Qingtang town in the center of the lake."

The little Taoist also knew that they were in a special situation and could only start in the evening, so he gave a reply. After the negotiation, they don't need to worry about the rest. Xie xuanchen and Mu Mingtang get up and leave.The wind outside is rustling, and there is a slight moisture in the night wind, as if it is going to rain. They walked side by side, speechless. After a while, Xie xuanchen asked, "I didn't pay attention to it before. Where did the chain go?"

Mu Mingtang was startled and looked up at him: "what do you want to do?"

"I'm afraid if I can't control it, I'll hurt you." Xie xuanchen said, "it's better to lock my hand. Anyway, you can open it, and you may as well do something."

Since Xie xuanchen was sober, the emperor sent another person to the palace, and the heavy iron chain disappeared. If it wasn't for Xie xuanchen, Mu Mingtang would have forgotten this.

She had never noticed where the black iron chain had gone.

Mu Mingtang said: "it's probably in the warehouse. It's necessary to take a lot of trouble to move such heavy things out. Most of them are still in the palace." After Mu Mingtang finished, he hesitated a little: "however, this pair of chains is a humiliation to you. Why do you..."

"I used to think it was imprisonment and insult." The night wind is leisurely, with the unique moist coolness before the rain, Xie xuanchen's voice seems to be in the wind, light and light, "but now I can understand what they do."

At the beginning, this is his own father added to his shackles, Xie xuanchen had tried his best to break free. Now, Xie xuanchen chooses to pick up the shackles again and put them back on his own hands.

On his own, he is willing to try even if he has one tenth chance. But if it is mu Mingtang, even one in ten thousand, he dare not let her risk.

If he really gets out of control, at least there is a black iron chain to stop him.

"No way." Mu Mingtang held Xie xuanchen's hand tightly and said, "I believe you won't. I'll go with you the day after tomorrow, and I'll always be there for you. "

"No way." Xie xuanchen refused, "it's too dangerous. You can sleep in the room."

"No Mu Mingtang was also very determined, looking at him firmly, "if you don't let me follow you, I'll sneak out. Maybe it's more dangerous. Anyway, where you are, where I am. "

Xie xuanchen frowns. Intellectually, he knows that he should stop her. If Xie xuanchen thinks, he has a way to make Mu Mingtang stay in Yulin hall all night. But emotionally, he was shamefully reluctant.

After struggling for a long time, Xie xuanchen finally turns around and says nothing, but holds Mu Mingtang's hand firmly.

This is his only weakness, but also let him continue to go on the courage. As long as he had her, he could endure the chains that had brought him endless humiliation, or the double torment that the Taoist priest put forward like cutting flesh with a slow knife.

Later that day, Mu Mingtang accompanied Xie xuanchen to Zhenqing hall. The Taoist carefully added a pinch of incense ash, mixed with wormwood, lit it, and then locked the door from the outside. In fact, this door is nothing, including the mysterious iron chain, which can't play a role.

If Xie xuanchen can control the drug guide, there is no need for the door and lock; if Xie xuanchen can't control it, no more locks outside can stop him.

What they really rely on is actually the source of danger. They are all gambling on Xie xuanchen's willpower.

The Taoist priest and Mu Mingtang were waiting outside the door. The night wind with the water vapor on the lake made people feel cold. The little Taoist shivered involuntarily, hugged his arm and yawned: "it's so cold, cold and sleepy."

The little Taoist said and looked at Xiang Mu Mingtang strangely: "aren't you cold?"

Mu Mingtang shook his head, his eyes almost fixed on Xiang. The little Taoist took a look along her eyes and said, "a stick of incense is still far away. It's too windy here. We'll stand here and wait. Why don't we go and sit in the attic for a while? "

Mu Mingtang shook his head and said softly, "no need. If the Taoist feels cold, go and have a rest first. "

The little Taoist hesitated: "it's cold and dark here. If you're the only one left, you..."

"I'm not afraid of the dark." Mu Mingtang smiles at the Taoist priest and says, "thank you for your kindness. I'm not afraid. It's hard today, Taoist priest. Go and have a rest. Although Zhenqing hall hasn't been used much, the cushions inside are all new. If the Taoist priest wants anything, he can open his mouth. You're welcome. "

The little Taoist doubted: "then I really left?"

Mu Mingtang nods and smiles. Since Mu Mingtang insisted, the little Taoist didn't persuade him to go into pianting to get warm. The little Taoist went upstairs, blackened and lit the lamp. Just now when he groped, he thought the furnishings here were very expensive. After lighting up, he found that they were really expensive.

The building is exquisitely built, beautifully stacked and decorated with painting and calligraphy screens. The Taoist touched the censer and found that it was made of real gold. Tut tut exclaimed, "I thought it was gilded, but it turned out to be pure gold. These paintings and calligraphy are all written by famous artists. They are just like hanging in their home without money. Why is their palace so rich? "

The little Taoist felt around for a while, and finally sat down comfortably in the chair. He was not polite to eat the cakes on the table. Anyway, if he doesn't eat it, it will be all over tomorrow.

The little Taoist enjoyed for a while with a vengeful attitude, and finally remembered that he was still a doctor. He thought of Mu Mingtang who stayed downstairs. After all, she was a woman. Could she really stay in the dark outdoors alone?Zhenqing hall is a loft hall built in the center of the lake. It's natural and quiet to hold a banquet here in the daytime, but it's a bit scary to appear in such a place late at night. Looking around, the water was black and bottomless, and the wind was whining from time to time in the woods on the bank. The little Taoist was used to walking on the mountain road, and just now he was standing outside.

The little Taoist's conscience finally overcame his hatred for the rich. He went to the window with cakes and wanted to ask Mu Mingtang to come up and sit down. The little Taoist opened the window and found that Mu Mingtang was no longer in place.

She stood under the window, facing the house, the cold moonlight on her body, as if a layer of frost fell on her shoulder.

The little Taoist suddenly became quiet. He remembers that Xie xuanchen locked himself in a similar position. By moonlight, he seems to be able to see Xie xuanchen's figure.

Mu Mingtang didn't move. There was no movement in the room, but they both knew that the other was just a window away. The little Taoist looked for a while and quietly pulled up the window.

The little Taoist basically ate himself half full. He calculated that it was almost time before he put two cakes in his sleeve and went downstairs slowly.

Downstairs, the incense that counts time is about to burn to the end.

The spark suddenly lit up, and then disappeared. Mu Mingtang almost ran to the door at the same time and took out the key to unlock it. Just now, Mu Mingtang wanted to stay in the house, but Xie xuanchen resolutely disagreed and asked her to lock outside. If Mu Mingtang refuses, he will lock himself in the house.

Where does Mu Mingtang rest assured? If she locks it from inside, in case something happens, she can't get in. She can only according to Xie xuanchen's request, close the door, lock from the outside, now the time is up, Mu Mingtang immediately ran in to see Xie xuanchen's condition.

Xie xuanchen looks very tired, his face is very white, and his eyes are red. Mu Mingtang saw a sour nose, Xie xuanchen shook his head, hoarse way: "I'm ok."

He said he wanted to stand up, but as soon as he moved, he suddenly became dizzy. The black iron chain attached to the heavy object behind him made a loud crash.

Mu Mingtang quickly stepped forward to hold him, holding him back to his seat slowly: "don't worry, take your time."

Mu Mingtang said, and quickly turned back to find the Taoist: "little Taoist, you come to see how he is?"

The little Taoist sniffed at the door and saw that the smell of wormwood was almost gone before he came in slowly. He gave Xie xuanchen a pulse and said, "the first time is success. I'll keep two pieces of medicine for a while, one at noon and one at night every day. After five days, I'll prepare for the second treatment. "

Xie xuanchen didn't even have the energy to speak, just nodded. Mu Mingtang asked some dietary taboos, and then solemnly thanks the Taoist priest and sent him out.

Mu Mingtang wants to stay here and wait for Xie xuanchen. The little Taoist knows that it's a hindrance to stay here. He might as well go back to bed early, so he just leaves. After the little Taoist left, Mu Mingtang sat next to Xie xuanchen and touched his cold fingers. He was distressed: "is it very hard?"

Xie xuanchen didn't have any blood color on his lips. He just shook his head: "it's OK."

Xie xuanchen said it's OK, that's really hard. It sounds simple to fight poison with poison, but the pain can only be understood by the party concerned.

Mu Mingtang is suffering silently in her heart. She doesn't tell Xie xuanchen, but silently opens the chain on his hand.

After the lock is opened, Mu Mingtang wants to hold himself to the ground, but he is forcibly robbed by Xie xuanchen. The lock was really heavy. Mu Mingtang thought of something and asked, "how did you turn them out? Didn't the people in the warehouse doubt it? "

Xie xuanchen didn't say much, just said vaguely: "they didn't notice."

Such a conspicuous thing, will not notice? Mu Mingtang expresses doubt, but Xie xuanchen says so, Mu Mingtang also did not ask, regard as really just by chance.

After Xie xuanchen's headache passed, they returned to Yulin hall. Go back and come to the same, did not disturb the maid.

Perhaps, not necessarily without alarm.

They leave once or twice, the maid may not find out, but they are not in the house for such a long time. Does the maid who watches the night really know nothing?

Mu Mingtang didn't think about it any more. Xie xuanchen didn't say, so she didn't ask. At present, the composition of the personnel in the palace is very complex, and Mu Mingtang can't tell how many of them are from the emperor, how many of them are from Xie xuanchen, how many of them pretend to be deaf and dumb, and how many of them secretly turn to Xie xuanchen.

After several times of treatment, Mu Mingtang didn't know if he had any effect, but Xie xuanchen's face gradually calmed down and was no longer as sensitive and sharp as before. In this way, whether it is effective or not, it is worthwhile to cure Xie xuanchen's heart disease.

In a twinkling of an eye, in March, the vegetation revives, the flowers bloom, and the activities in the capital are also frequent. On the fifth day of junior high school, Mrs. Zhu wrote a post in person, inviting Mu Mingtang to go to Da Xiangji temple to offer incense.
