"I'll take you to the Medicine Pavilion, don't wander around."

The female disciple turned her head while talking.

Meiji hurriedly pushed Wuhu back.

The female disciple didn't see the five tigers, but only saw Meiji straightening her clothes.

To do this indecent act in broad daylight, I can't help but feel a little more contempt for the two of them.

"Remember what I said just now? You are not allowed to wander around. There are so many masters in the Saintess Hall. They don't know you. If strangers break into the Saintess Hall, they will be killed!"

Mei Ji rolled her charming eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao said politely: "Thank you for reminding me."

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was still on the right track, the female disciples turned pale and took them to the Medicine Pavilion.

Along the way, they met many female disciples from the Saintess Hall, and also noticed the aura of many masters lurking in the dark.

It seems that the other party is not lying, and the Temple of the Holy Maiden is by no means a place where you can act rashly.

The medicine pavilion faces south and has two floors. The second floor is where medical books and pills are stored, and the first floor displays countless medicinal materials, which are placed in neat rows of medicine cabinets.

The climate in southern Xinjiang is humid, and these medicinal materials are often taken out to dry in order to prevent moisture.

Today happened to be the day to dry the medicinal materials, and the Medicine Pavilion was very busy.

The female disciple pointed to the medicine cabinet in the Medicine Pavilion: "I have already greeted the elders of the Medicine Pavilion, what medicine do you want, go pick it out, and I will take you to register after picking."

Su Xiaoxiao asked her, "What did the Cheng family tell you?"

The female disciple said sarcastically: "Here comes a quack doctor, who thinks he is very skilled in medicine, and wants to cure Miss Cheng's madness. Hmph, I don't know how many doctors like this have come here before. Even the Hall of the Holy Maiden is helpless. He really thinks he is me!" It’s even more powerful than the Temple of the Holy Maiden. Alright, I won’t tell you anymore, I’ll wait for you over there, and when you’re done, come and call me.”

She went outside to chat with a familiar female disciple.

Mei Ji curled her lips: "What's the matter with Xie Yunhe? He actually said that we are quacks?"

"If he is willing to say that we are here to recognize our relatives, then it will be a ghost." Su Xiaoxiao doesn't care how Xie Yunhe introduces them, as long as she comes to the Holy Maiden Hall, this goal is enough.

Su Xiaoxiao casually opened a small drawer of the medicine cabinet in the front row, took out the poria cocos inside and smelled it: "The quality of the medicinal materials is really good."

Mei Ji came over with a dustpan and asked Su Xiaoxiao to put the medicinal materials she had picked into it: "Tell me, why is that Xie Yunhe suddenly so kind? He didn't believe that you were his granddaughter, and he even asked you to come to the Saintess Hall to get the medicine." ...I don't understand what he's thinking."

Su Xiaoxiao said lightly: "Maybe he simply wants to heal Miss Cheng?"

Mei Ji snorted: "I always feel that he has no good intentions! From my point of view, he probably guessed that we entered the Holy Maiden Hall for other purposes. He asked us to come to the Holy Maiden Hall to die and use the hands of the Holy Maiden Hall to get rid of us." Two big troubles."

Su Xiaoxiao took another 1.37: "Your guess is not unreasonable."

Mei Ji said: "That's right! I'm the smart Mei Ji!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and gave Mei Ji a wink.

Mei Ji understood, and asked in a very tacit understanding: "Miss, you said... there are no medicinal materials you need here?"

"Yeah, I also came here when I heard that the Holy Maiden Hall has all the medicinal materials. I didn't expect—"

Su Xiaoxiao's look of being extremely disappointed in the Holy Maiden Hall caused dissatisfaction among a female disciple of the Medicine Pavilion not far away.

She came over with a dustpan to dry the medicinal materials, frowned and said: "There is no medicinal material that cannot be found in the Temple of the Holy Maiden!"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Snowland Tianma."

The female disciple of the Medicine Pavilion became mute.

What a joke, if there was Gastrodia elata in the Holy Maiden Hall, they would not have sent people to Tianshan to pick it. Su Xiaoxiao picked it up before picking it up.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled sincerely: "There is no Gastrodia elata, so, is there snake bone flower?"

The female disciple of the Medicine Pavilion, who had just been slapped in the face, immediately straightened her body: "Of course there are. In the whole world, only the Temple of the Holy Maiden has snake bones!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked skeptical: "Really? Why didn't I see it?"

The female disciple of the Medicine Pavilion said: "The snake bone flower is in the saint's bedroom, of course you can't see it!"

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly realized: "So it is."

The female disciple of the Medicine Pavilion said angrily: "Don't think about the snake bone flower. The snake bone flower only blooms once in a few years, and the saint doesn't have enough for herself, so she won't give it to you!"

Then just grab it...

Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "Understood, I was also curious, so I asked casually."

The female disciple of the medicine pavilion went outside to dry the herbs.

Mei Ji asked in a low voice, "What should I do?"

Su Xiaoxiao said in a low voice: "Don't be in a hurry, it hasn't bloomed anyway, wait until it opens and grab it. Today, I'll find a way to meet the man hidden in the Holy Maiden Hall."

"Ok."

Meiji nodded.

Su Xiaoxiao likes to act together with Meiji.

Because Meiji is courageous enough, she really dares to face danger, and she dares to break through mountains of swords and seas of fire. Even though she was injured last night, she didn't become overly cautious.

It is not a bad thing to be cautious, but sometimes, a little drive that is not afraid of death is needed.

Su Xiaoxiao carefully selected the medicinal materials for less than half an hour. Every medicinal material needs to be registered. Naturally, she would not choose blindly. Even if a pharmacist came to check her medicinal materials in the end, it would definitely be a medicine that invigorates the heart, strengthens the Qi, and soothes the liver. A prescription for relieving depression.

When the selection was almost done, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly covered her stomach.

Meiji supported her arm very cooperatively and shouted: "Miss, what's the matter with you?"

Her voice was loud enough that the female disciples who were arranging the medicinal materials in the Medicine Pavilion looked at the two of them.

Su Xiaoxiao looked painful: "Stomach hurts..."

Mei Ji had a worried look on her face: "Did you spoil your stomach from eating this morning?"

Su Xiaoxiao even exudes infinitely exaggerated acting skills with her fingers, pinching the medicine cabinet and trembling faintly: "Is there a toilet?"

The female disciple who made the two of them enter the Saintess Hall came over. Her surname was Lu, and she was also an envoy, but her qualifications were not as high as that of envoy Lin, and she was at the end of the envoy.

She asked, "What's the matter?"

Mei Ji said aggrievedly: "My lady has a stomachache, can you help me find a latrine?"

Lu Changshi frowned with some disgust: "Come with me."

She took the two to a nearby hut.

"I'll wait for you outside."

"We remember the way, we can go back to the Medicine Pavilion by ourselves."

Lu Changshi ignored them, walked directly to a big tree thirty steps away, and waited with a sullen face.

Meiji stayed behind to cover, while Su Xiaoxiao turned out through the back door of the latrine.

The five tigers flapped their wings and flew high into the sky, leading Su Xiaoxiao the way.

Su Xiaoxiao followed the five tigers to a place where the plaque of the Cangdian Pavilion was hung.

It is also a two-story attic, which is no different from the Medicine Pavilion in appearance.

It's just that this place is much cleaner than the Medicine Pavilion, and there are not many disciples here.

Su Xiaoxiao was lucky, the disciple guarding the Cangdian Pavilion went to eat.

She quietly came to the door of the Cangdian Pavilion.

Thanks to the lightness kung fu taught by her sisters-in-law, her body skills are much more secretive.

After entering the Cangdian Pavilion, Wuhu led her to the end of the corridor.

The five tigers were patting the wall with their wings.

"Behind here?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The five tigers nodded.

"Is there a mechanism?" Su Xiaoxiao groped up and down, and found a groove similar to a pattern decoration.

"The shape of this groove... looks familiar..."

She opened her purse and took out the third kit given to her by the spy chief.

There are three strange small iron pieces inside.

She took out one of the small iron pieces and put it into the groove.

Rumble——

The stone door was opened.

"It turns out that this small piece of iron is the key. How could the head of the secret service have the key to the Temple of the Holy Maiden?"

She was not curious, she was not at all curious about the spy chief.

She retrieved the key and led Wuhu into the secret room.

The stone door rumbled shut behind her.

A gloomy and icy breath enveloped him.

The climate in southern Xinjiang is warm, and this kind of cold temperature has not been felt for a long time.

She swept her eyes and saw the stone bed in the center of the secret room, which was illuminated by the night pearl on the ground.

There was indeed a man lying on the stone bed.

He has even and heavy breathing, even lying there, you can tell that he is tall.

In a coma, there is still an intoxicating aura.

The five tigers flew over and jumped on him, as if they wanted to wake him up.

However, the person under the claws did not respond.

Su Xiaoxiao came to the stone bed and looked at the cold sleeping face.

At this moment, there was a clicking sound outside the stone gate.

Someone is opening the stone gate!

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed Wuhu and hid behind a stone pillar!

With a bang, the stone door opened.

Two envoys walked in with four disciples.

The four carried a large box in their hands.

What to do... Su Xiaoxiao was at a loss.

Chief Envoy Lin came to the stone bed, glanced at the unconscious man, poured a pill from the medicine bottle and fed it into the man's mouth.

This time, she didn't wait for the man to swallow it by herself, but gave him a slap and helped him swallow it.

It was the pill brought back by Wuhu yesterday... Su Xiaoxiao frowned slightly.

Another envoy beside Chief Lin said, "Are you sure you give him medicine every day?"

Chief Envoy Lin smiled and said, "Envoy Lu, don't worry, I haven't missed any of his medicines."

Lu Zhangshi said lightly: "It's best not to fall, his injuries must be healed, and his people must also be controlled. He must not lose control like the previous few times. You have seen how high his martial arts are, Holy Maiden." No one in the temple can beat him, and he even hurt the saint."

Out of control...the first few times...

In other words, this man woke up before, but he was not very obedient. In addition, because he was too strong, the masters of the Saintess Hall couldn't beat him, so he had to be given medicine.

Those pills were not only for healing, but also for controlling him.

So strong, could it be Wei Xu?

Also, the saint was injured.

This is an important message.

Chief Envoy Lin instructed his disciples: "Okay, let's carry him to Qionghua Palace."

Four female disciples stepped forward and worked together to move the person into the box.

Su Xiaoxiao tried her best to see the man's face clearly, but was blocked by the disciple who was in the way.

However, she noticed that on the man's right hand, from the palm to the back of the hand, there was a half circle of faint scars.

This kind of scar has been at least ten years old, and it is by no means left in the past few years.

"Hey! Are you alright?"

Changshi Lu got impatient.

Mei Ji pretended to say: "Miss, are you alright? Are you still in pain? Okay, okay, don't rush you, don't rush you!"

She looked outside, "Have you ever had a stomachache? Why are you urging me? Don't be too polite if you urge me again! After all, we are from the Cheng family. If you treat us like this, aren't you afraid that the saint will punish you?"

These words successfully hit Changshi Lu's Achilles' heel.

Chief Lu suppressed his impatience and waited for a while.

The more she waited, the more she felt something was wrong.

From the beginning to the end, there was only the voice of this little maid. Where is that quack doctor?

Lu Changshi secretly thought that it was not good, and walked quickly to the latrine with a cold face.

"Hey hey hey! What are you doing?" Mei Ji came out to stop her.

Changshi Lu sternly said, "Get out of the way!"

Mei Ji gritted her teeth: "I won't get out of the way!"

Lu Changshi pushed Mei Ji away with a palm, stepped forward a few steps, and lifted the straw curtain of the hut.

Su Xiaoxiao fastened her belt and looked at her in confusion: "This is... what's wrong?"

Lu Changshi choked, and put down the straw curtain: "It's been so long since the last hut!"

She covered her nose with her hands in disgust, and left without looking back.

Su Xiaoxiao and Mei Ji followed behind her not too close or far away.

"How is it?" Meiji asked softly.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Chang Envoy Lu's back, and told the discovery of the Cang Dian Pavilion in a volume that only the two of them could hear.

Mei Ji gritted her teeth: "The Temple of the Holy Maiden is so despicable that she uses drugs to control people? Then, is that person Wei Xu?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I only took one look, so I can't tell for sure."

In fact, she may not recognize it after a few more glances, after all, she has never seen Wei Xu before.

But the scar on the opponent's hand left a deep impression on her.

Mei Ji said: "This Saintess Hall must have some shady secrets."

Chang Envoy Lu turned his head and said impatiently, "What are you two talking about? Hurry up and catch up!"

Meiji stuck out her tongue.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at a large group of Yingying Yanyan not far away, and asked tentatively: "Huh? Why are there so many people over there? Looking at the clothes, they don't look like disciples of the Holy Maiden Hall."

Ambassador Lu said willfully: "What do you, a doctor in the countryside, know? Those are here to participate in the holy election."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the plainly dressed girls and asked, "It seems that there are some girls from the folk."

Lu Changshi sneered: "Hmph, some people just overestimate themselves. How can the daughters cultivated by the four major families with all their efforts be comparable to some folk women?"

Mei Ji pointed and asked, "Is the one wearing the veil Cheng Qingxue?"

Su Xiaoxiao took a look and nodded: "It's her."

Cheng Qingxue stood with the daughters of several aristocratic families, the youngest of whom looked only eight or nine years old.

Su Xiaoxiao asked puzzledly, "Can you run for election at such a young age?"

"There is no age limit, you can choose even in the mother's womb. Back then..." Changshi Lu was halfway through speaking, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, and changed the subject, "Hurry up and go to the Medicine Pavilion!"

Meiji said in Su Xiaoxiao's ear: "I heard rumors in Cheng's family that when Miss Cheng was pregnant, the holy bird from the Temple of the Holy Maiden landed on her belly, and there were rumors at that time that She is pregnant with the next saint. Who knows that her daughter is gone in the end, and Cheng Lian's daughter becomes a saint. You say... Could it be that Cheng Lian's mother and daughter took Cheng Sang's daughter's fate? "

Today is 6200 words, the number of words in the third shift, without chapters.

The southern border volume is the penultimate volume, and it will enter the finale after finishing writing, so we won't make you wait too long.

Say goodbye early, it's too sudden and unacceptable.
