Tantai Wuli came back to his senses, and smiled instead: "It's my honor to eat so deliciously, Fellow Daoist. I can cook by myself, and this time is not bad."
Huangfu Zhaohua heard Tantai Wuli's words, his eyes moved slightly, and then asked: "Then who did you learn your cooking skills from?"
Tantai Wuli was stunned: "I can't tell who I learned this from, I just do it according to my feeling, cooking is just a few steps anyway, it's quite simple."
Huangfu Zhaohua: ...
Tantai Wuli didn't know that Huangfu Zhaohua had tasted all the delicacies in the world before, and he only asked this question simply because he thought that the dishes he made were good for his taste, so he answered it very easily.
Unexpectedly, when these words fell into Huangfu Zhaohua's ears, they were no different from showing off invisible.
Fortunately, after getting along with Tantai Wuli, Huangfu Zhaohua understood Tantai Wuli's character a bit. At this time, he saw Tantai Wuli's clear expression, pondered for a moment, did not ask any more questions, only said: "You Very talented at cooking."
"It's nothing more than a trick." Tantai Wuli smiled.
Huangfu Zhaohua: ...
But at this time, Tantai Wuli finally noticed Huangfu Zhaohua's strangeness, and couldn't help but said: "Fellow Daoist? Is there anything wrong with my cooking?"
Huangfu Zhaohua came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm just expressing my feelings."
Tantai Wuli: Oh...
Although I always felt that Huangfu Zhaohua would be weird, but Tantai Wuli was not used to prying other people's thoughts, so he didn't ask anything.
But Huangfu Zhaohua pondered for a moment, and said again: "You said earlier that all the ingredients in my kitchen are poisonous?"
Tantai Wuli nodded: "That's right, although the toxicity is small, if it is ingested for a long time, it will inevitably soak into the body slowly. It's just—"
"Just what?" Huangfu Zhaohua asked again.
Tantai Wuli frowned and said: "It's just that I found out that most of the toxins stay on the surface of your body, fellow daoist, and you didn't ingest them, so...the source of the poison may be more than one place."
Hearing this, Huangfu Zhaohua was silent for a while, and said, "Come with me." After speaking, Huangfu Zhaohua turned around and walked towards the room not far away.
Tantai Wuli had no choice but to follow.
After entering the room, Huangfu Zhaohua took out all his mattresses and asked Tantai Wuli to check them.
As a result, Tantai Wuli inspected and indeed found a small amount of toxin, but the toxin was not evenly contaminated, more like it was rubbed on from other things.
And...it also has a faint fragrance.
Tantai Wuli held the soft quilt in his hand and frowned for a moment, then suddenly asked in a low voice: "Do you have a habit of smelling incense when you sleep?"
Huangfu Zhaohua shook his head and denied, "I never smoke incense."
Tantai Wuli was startled, then frowned, wanting to consider other hypotheses.
But immediately, Huangfu Zhaohua's expression changed slightly, and then he tightened his lips suddenly, walked quickly to the side cabinet, and took out a very delicate glazed hydrangea lamp.
The glazed hydrangea lamp is really beautiful, but as soon as it is taken out, the fragrance on it attracts Tantai Wuli.
It is the aroma on the bedding.
"It should be it." Tantai Wuli said: "Fellow Daoist, can you check this lamp for me?"
As soon as Tantai Wuli finished speaking, he found that Huangfu Zhaohua's fingers caressing the edge of the glazed hydrangea lamp were slightly tightened, they turned a little pale, and his eyes became extremely cold at this moment.
Tantai Wuli was afraid that Huangfu Zhaohua would lose the evidence if he destroyed the lamp, so he quickly said in a deep voice, "Calm down, fellow daoist!"
Huangfu Zhaohua was silent for a while, and finally regained his calm expression, but his expression was already extremely indifferent at the moment.
At this time, he slowly handed over the glazed hydrangea lamp, and said in a hoarse voice, "Check carefully, and don't miss any details."
Tantai Wuli hastily said: "I will."
Saying so, Tantai Wuli wrapped the glazed hydrangea lamp with the green wood flame, slowly placed it in his palm, and began to examine it carefully.
But at this time, he checked it, his expression changed for a moment, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This poisoner is really thoughtful."
But when it came to this, Tantai Wuli couldn't help but glance at Huangfu Zhaohua - no matter how stupid he was, he knew that the owner of the hydrangea lamp must have a deep relationship with Huangfu Zhaohua.
Huangfu Zhaohua sensed Tantai Wuli's thoughts, at this moment he only said in a deep voice: "Just say it, I can bear it."
Tantai Wuli pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "There is nothing wrong with the fragrance, it is just used to cover up the smell of toxins, and this lamp is non-toxic when it is not lit, and the lamp oil and wick are also free of toxins, but as long as you light this Lamps, when the lamp oil is volatilized by high temperature, it will turn into a poisonous mist that blindly destroys five senses."
Huangfu Zhaohua suddenly said a little excitedly: "But I have been lighting this glass hydrangea lamp. Before this lamp was lit, I could still calm my mind. Did you read it wrong?"
Tantai Wuli was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled wryly: "That's right, if the toxin of this lamp is used less, it can indeed soothe the nerves and relieve pain, but the principle of this thing is the same as that of Wushisan. Comfortable. But then..."
Huangfu Zhaohua gritted his teeth suddenly.
Seeing this, Tantai Wuli said in a low voice: "Fellow Daoists should also be aware of this."
Huangfu Zhaohua took a deep breath.
Silence, dead silence.
I don't know how long it has passed, when Tantai Wuli felt a little bit on pins and needles, Huangfu Zhaohua suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Then do you think the person who poisoned him is the same person who poisoned Hesha?"
Tantai Wuli:?
Huangfu Zhaohua asked this question very abruptly, Tantai Wuli hesitated for a moment, although he faintly knew that Huangfu Zhaohua probably already had a candidate in his heart, he couldn't believe it, so he wanted to use his own mouth to refute.
But after being silent for a while, Tantai Wuli finally said truthfully: "There must be a connection. The black evil poison and these poisons can be used together to achieve the effect of confusing people. People and strangers discovered it. After all, although no one has seen the black evil poison, the symptoms are very obvious, but after adding these poisons, the symptoms will disperse and confuse the public."
Huangfu Zhaohua suddenly closed his eyes at this moment, and said quietly: "Okay, I see."
Tantai Wuli was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why Huangfu Zhaohua was so excited just now, but now he was suddenly so calm, after a while, he tentatively asked with a little hesitation: "Fellow Daoist, do you know who did it?"
Huangfu Zhaohua: "I always knew."
Tantai Wuli:?
Huangfu Zhaohua let out a slight breath at this time, and suddenly changed the subject: "Bring these evidences, you can go back to the main residence of Huangfu's family with me tomorrow."
Tantai Wuxin's head trembled slightly, knowing that Huangfu Zhaohua might already know who the mastermind behind the scenes was, and he was ready to ask the teacher for his crimes.
After Huangfu Zhaohua finished speaking, he took another look at Tantai Wuli: "However, I still want to invite you to play a play with me."
Tantai Wuli's eyes moved, and then he said: "All follow the instructions of fellow Taoist."
·
next morning
Huangfu Zhaohua brought a puppet servant to drive, and together with Tantai Wuli went back to the main residence of Huangfu's family.
The main residence of the Huangfu family is located in an extremely prosperous part of the city, covering an area of hundreds of acres, magnificent and simple, with a faint golden aura shrouded in it.
Tantai Wuli knew that the golden aura belonged to the luck of the Huangfu family, and it was true that only extremely powerful families could have their own luck.
If the Huangfu family was born in the realm of comprehension, it would not be an imperial family, but at least it would be an extremely large family of cultivation.
Sure enough, only such a family can cultivate talents like Huangfu Zhaohua.
But Tantai Wuli didn't know that Huangfu Zhaohua's genius was far above the upper limit of all the geniuses in this family - in the entire Zhongtian Territory, only Huangfu Zhaohua had comprehended many immortals at the peak of the Immortal King. Not only the sharpness of sword intent, but also the original domain of sword intent.
This level of genius is something that many immortal emperors could not achieve when they were young.
So Huangfu Zhaohua can no longer be said to be a gifted talent, but to surpass the word talent.
As soon as Huangfu Zhaohua arrived at the main house at this time, countless servants immediately surrounded him, and a large number of them rushed in to report. The scene was so big that Tantai Wuli couldn't help but be a little speechless.
Huangfu Zhaohua himself was used to these scenes, at this moment he didn't turn his head, and said indifferently: "Don't follow alone, I'll go to the ancestral hall to see my mother first."
Those servants were in awe of Huangfu Zhaohua, and Huangfu Zhaohua told them not to follow, but they really stayed where they were, motionless.
"Follow me." Huangfu Zhaohua turned his head to Tantai and said indifferently.
Tantai Wuli hurriedly followed.
And after the two of them left half a mile away, Tantai Wuli's extremely strong ear could vaguely hear the servants behind him discussing.
"It's a pity for the third young master. He's such a genius, why did he suffer from such a disease?"
"Hey, the master originally planned to let the third young master inherit the family business next year, but now it seems that he has to re-select someone."
"I don't know if the eldest young master is more fortunate this time or if the fourth young master has this ability."
"The eldest young master's biological mother has passed away, Mrs. Bai is in favor, and the fourth young master is still the younger brother of the third young master. No matter how you look at it, the fourth young master has a better chance."
Tantai Wuli: ...
Tantai Wuli suddenly understood why Huangfu Zhaohua was poisoned.
It turns out...it's the brothers fighting against each other.
But at this time, he heard it and pretended he didn't hear it. He was only responsible for detoxification, and by the way, he helped Huangfu Zhaohua. He didn't want to mess with this kind of big family secret.
·
The main residence of the Huangfu family was huge, and the two of them walked through countless corridors and rockeries before arriving at the ancestral hall in the backyard.
At this time, a young woman in white was kneeling on the futon in front of the ancestral hall, closing her eyes and chanting scriptures. In front of her were countless memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Huangfu family. The sound of chanting was particularly ethereal amidst the smog.
It should be a very pious and peaceful atmosphere, but Tantai Wuli could hear a bit of bewilderment and helplessness from the sound of chanting sutras.
Frowning, Tantai Wuli vaguely conceived a guess, but then he felt that his guess was too absurd.
At this time, Huangfu Zhaohua asked Tantai Wuli to wait outside the ancestral hall, while he entered the ancestral hall slowly.
"Mother, Hua'er is back." Huangfu Zhaohua went to the side of the futon and knelt down, whispering.
When the young woman in white heard Huangfu Zhaohua's voice, her body trembled slightly, as if she was frightened, but soon she straightened up, looked at Huangfu Zhaohua beside her with some surprise and joy, and said softly: "Why did Hua'er remember to come back to see her mother today?"
Huangfu Zhaohua smiled lightly: "There is a piece of good news that Hua'er wants to tell mother."
The young woman in white clothes was a little puzzled, but soon she smiled softly and said, "The good news about Hua'er is naturally great news, please tell your mother quickly."
Huangfu Zhaohua quietly stared into the eyes of the young woman in white, and said with a smile: "Mother, I met a genius doctor yesterday, who solved the bottleneck of my cultivation."
The young woman in white was startled for a moment, then she raised her eyebrows and frowned slightly: "Hua Er, have you been deceived? You don't know how many of those powerful and genius doctors you have seen before, and it didn't work. You said you would never look for them again." Why did they suddenly believe again today?"
"All I met before were quack doctors, so naturally they couldn't cure me. But this time I know, it's not that there is something wrong with my cultivation, but—someone wants to harm me and poison me."
The young woman in white trembled suddenly, then she looked around in a panic, and whispered: "Hua'er, you can't talk nonsense, with your cultivation level, who can poison you, and how can you get hurt?" you?"
Huangfu Zhaohua asked indifferently: "Why does mother think that with my cultivation level, no one will poison me?"
The young woman in white was stunned, and then she said with a somewhat helpless expression: "Even so... Hua'er, have you cured your poison yet? How can there be so many genius doctors in this world? If he could cure you, your father would have-" —”
"Hua'er's poison has not been completely unraveled, but the magic doctor's method is indeed effective, and Hua'er is already much more comfortable."
The young woman in white was slightly taken aback, then she seemed to be relieved, and then she persuaded earnestly: "Where did you find the miracle doctor? Beware of a liar."
"Hua'er's body is clear to Hua'er himself."
The young woman in white suddenly choked.
After finishing speaking, Huangfu Zhaohua quietly stared at the young woman in white with a calm gaze with a slight scrutiny.
Tantai Wuli outside the door listened verbatim to the conversation between the mother and the son, at this moment he felt his heart skip a beat.
It seems that the answer is ready, but why... Huangfu Zhaohua's mother wanted to kill her own son?
Just when Tantai Wuli couldn't figure it out, Huangfu Zhaohua in the ancestral hall suddenly spoke slowly, without a trace of emotion: "Mother, you should be concerned about it, but it's messed up. Please calm down for a while, later talk later."
After speaking, Huangfu Zhaohua stood up from the futon, got up and walked outside.
At this time, the young woman in white in the ancestral hall suddenly said: "Hua'er!"
Huangfu Zhaohua paused slightly.
The young woman in white forced a smile at this moment, and said in a trembling voice: "Hua'er, it's better not to tell your father about your detoxification. It's not too late to tell your father after you've completely detoxified. So as not to make your father happy in vain."
Huangfu Zhaohua said without turning his head: "Okay, I'll go see Ah Zhi first, mother don't worry."
·
When Huangfu Zhaohua came out of the ancestral hall, Tantai Wuli silently followed behind him.
Don't talk about asking questions, Tantai Wuli at this moment doesn't even dare to raise his voice.
But Huangfu Zhaohua walked a few steps, and suddenly asked Tantai Wuli: "I want you to accompany me to play in the future, do you remember?"
Tantai Wuli: "Do you really want to act?"
"of course."
After thinking about it, Tantai Wuli could only nod his head and say: "Then I know."
"Let's go."
This time Huangfu Zhaohua brought Tantai Wuli back to his private courtyard in the main residence of Huangfu's family.
Huangfu Zhaohua's residence is very fresh and elegant. There are more than a dozen Qiongzhou snow crimson pears planted in the courtyard. When the breeze blows, the tender pear blossoms dance in the courtyard like broken jade piles of snow.
There are also a few cranes and golden monkeys with plump and smooth feathers in the courtyard, and they all seem to be taken care of very well.
Huangfu Zhaohua entered the courtyard and said, "Azhi, I'm back."
Soon, a surprised and pleasant voice came from the room, and then, a handsome young man in a green shirt came out quickly, walked up to Huangfu Zhaohua happily and held his hand.
"Zhaohua, you are back!"
Tantai Wuli was slightly taken aback - this is Huangfu Zhaohua's Taoist companion?
After the young man in green shirt grabbed Huangfu Zhaohua, he seemed to notice Tantai Wuli, and asked curiously, "Zhaohua, who is he?"
Huangfu Zhaohua calmly stretched out his hand and patted Ah Zhi's head: "This is called Tantai Wuli, and he is a sworn brother I just met. He is very talented and extremely gifted."
Hearing this, Ah Zhi's face suddenly changed, and then he bit his lips and looked at Tantai Wuli and said, "Tantai Taoist friend is very good, Zhaohua never worships anyone on weekdays, Tantai Taoist friend must be extremely extraordinary where?"
Huangfu Zhaohua actually smiled in a rare way: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be worthy of being my sworn brother."
Ah Zhi bit his lips even tighter.
Tantai Wuli just felt embarrassed at this moment, but since he promised Huangfu Zhaohua to act, he had no choice but to pretend to be a snake: "That's because fellow Taoist Huangfu thinks highly of me."
Ah Zhi's black pupils turned around the two of them, and suddenly said: "Zhaohua, you and fellow Taoist Tantai must be tired, I'll go and prepare a medicinal bath for you, shall we?"
Huangfu Zhaohua said: "Okay, you can arrange it."
As expected, Azhi turned around and left.
Tantai Wuli watched Azhi's leaving back, frowned, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing, fellow daoist?"
Huangfu Zhaohua said indifferently: "You will understand after a while."
Tantai Wuli didn't know what kind of medicine Huangfu Zhaohua sold in his gourd, but Huangfu Zhaohua had said so, he still listened to Huangfu Zhaohua's words, didn't say anything, just waited silently.
Sure enough, Ah Zhi came over after a while, and smiled at the two of them: "Zhaohua, I have arranged the medicine bath, you and this fellow Taoist go quickly, or it will be cold in a while."
At this time, Ah Zhi regained that gentle and kind appearance, which made Tantai Wuli feel that the malice he felt just now on Ah Zhi seemed to be fake.
On the other hand, Huangfu Zhaohua, as if he didn't notice anything, reached out and touched Ah Zhi's head again, saying: "Okay, let's go in."
So Huangfu Zhaohua and Tantai Wuli walked into the room together.
Huangfu Zhaohua walked into the room and closed the door with his hand. Tantai Wuli was about to ask what Huangfu Zhaohua meant, but he saw layers of black air floating on the two barrels of medicine bath at a glance.
Black evil poison? ? ?
Huangfu Zhaohua saw Tantai Wuli's eyes, but he was not surprised at all, as if he knew everything, he said softly: "That's right, there is something wrong with this medicinal bath."
Tantai Wuli was dumbfounded, unable to say anything for a while.
At this time, Huangfu Zhaohua was quietly staring at the misty medicinal bath in front of him, exuding bursts of medicinal fragrance, and said in a calm but somewhat bleak tone: "Ah Zhi has always treated me very well. I have to prepare the medicinal bath for me when I am busy. I didn’t understand before, and I always thought that these things can be done by servants, but now I understand.”
Tantai Wuli: ...
Pursing his lips, Tantai Wuli frowned again and looked at the medicinal bath quietly for a moment, then suddenly walked forward and smelled the medicinal bath carefully.
Then, Tantai Wuli said softly with a strange expression: "Perhaps your Taoist partner has some difficulties? This medicinal bath has added a lot of medicines to slow down the poison of the black evil, so the poison on your body has always been suppressed." It is controlled at the shallow level and cannot go deep."
"Of course he won't poison me to death, because if I die, the Huangfu family will lose a big helper. Only when I am alive and can't threaten that person, can the Huangfu family be truly peaceful." Huangfu Zhaohua said this At that time, the tone became a little bit colder.
Tantai Wuli moved his lips, vaguely guessing who Huangfu Zhaohua was talking about, but at this moment he could only keep silent.
Tantai Wuli knew that the mothers of some families would favor the younger ones, but he never expected that they would favor such a terrifying degree.
Not to mention that Huangfu Zhaohua's Taoist partner also...
It's really hard to say...
Tantai Wuli was silent, but Huangfu Zhaohua slowly opened his mouth, and began to narrate in a very calm but cool tone.
"Because I was born with a sword bone, I was sent to practice in the sword tower of the Huangfu's family when I was very young. I didn't return to the master's house until I became an adult. At that time... my younger brother had already started to go out to practice, and I It was also the first time I saw Ah Zhi."
"Azhi is a child from a foreign race brought back by my younger brother when he went out to practice. He has a very lively personality. My mother has always favored my younger brother. Azhi always enlightens me."
"Later, as a matter of course, I formed a bond with Ah Zhi."
"I used to practice swords since I was a child, and I was almost heartless. The only people in the world who cared about me were Ah Zhi and my mother. After I formed a bond with Ah Zhi, my mother was very affectionate to me. Because my younger brother also found someone from a big family. When the eldest daughter got married, there was no other moment in the limelight. It is said that the family originally belonged to me, but I was already with Ah Zhi, so I didn't care."
"I know that my mother felt ashamed of me because of this incident, and felt that my younger brother took my things, but I didn't care, and my mother treated me a lot better because of this, and I was very happy. Because I never cared about those imaginary things. "
"But since my fourth brother and I got married to each other, the fourth brother's cultivation base suddenly started to skyrocket due to the help of his in-laws, and my practice also began to have problems. I didn't think about it deeply at first, but I still have some details. Noticed. I’ve been less inclined to go home since then.”
At this time, Huangfu Zhaohua stretched out his hand to lightly press the side of the bathtub, and murmured in a low voice: "I always thought that as long as I didn't go home, the problem wouldn't become serious. I always thought that although Ah Zhi also likes Si My younger brother, but at least I like me a little bit, and my mother is not so partial to my fourth brother. But now it seems that I was wrong."
Tantai Wuxin's head trembled, but he couldn't tell what it was like.
Facing Huangfu Zhaohua like this, those enlightening words seemed too pale and powerless when they touched his lips.
Because at this time, it is useless to say anything.
The bloody fact was right in front of him, even if he covered his eyes, the smell of blood still couldn't be concealed.
In the end, Huangfu Zhaohua closed his eyes abruptly, crushed the edge of the tub with one hand, and said, "Fellow Daoist Tantai, please be a witness for me later."
Tantai Wuli:?
Tantai Wuli hesitated for a moment, some didn't know how to answer, but Huangfu Zhaohua understood his hesitation, instead smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't force you to identify anyone, I just want to give up the patriarch's inheritance Qualifications, go outside and set up your own family, let you be a witness."
"I'm not that sad, I'm just... very disappointed."
Sobering disappointment.
Huangfu Zhaohua heard Tantai Wuli's words, his eyes moved slightly, and then asked: "Then who did you learn your cooking skills from?"
Tantai Wuli was stunned: "I can't tell who I learned this from, I just do it according to my feeling, cooking is just a few steps anyway, it's quite simple."
Huangfu Zhaohua: ...

Hearing this, Huangfu Zhaohua was silent for a while, and said, "Come with me." After speaking, Huangfu Zhaohua turned around and walked towards the room not far away.
Tantai Wuli had no choice but to follow.
After entering the room, Huangfu Zhaohua took out all his mattresses and asked Tantai Wuli to check them.
As a result, Tantai Wuli inspected and indeed found a small amount of toxin, but the toxin was not evenly contaminated, more like it was rubbed on from other things.

This level of genius is something that many immortal emperors could not achieve when they were young.
So Huangfu Zhaohua can no longer be said to be a gifted talent, but to surpass the word talent.
As soon as Huangfu Zhaohua arrived at the main house at this time, countless servants immediately surrounded him, and a large number of them rushed in to report. The scene was so big that Tantai Wuli couldn't help but be a little speechless.
Huangfu Zhaohua himself was used to these scenes, at this moment he didn't turn his head, and said indifferently: "Don't follow alone, I'll go to the ancestral hall to see my mother first."
Those servants were in awe of Huangfu Zhaohua, and Huangfu Zhaohua told them not to follow, but they really stayed where they were, motionless.
"Follow me." Huangfu Zhaohua turned his head to Tantai and said indifferently.
Tantai Wuli hurriedly followed.
And after the two of them left half a mile away, Tantai Wuli's extremely strong ear could vaguely hear the servants behind him discussing.
"It's a pity for the third young master. He's such a genius, why did he suffer from such a disease?"
"Hey, the master originally planned to let the third young master inherit the family business next year, but now it seems that he has to re-select someone."
"I don't know if the eldest young master is more fortunate this time or if the fourth young master has this ability."
"The eldest young master's biological mother has passed away, Mrs. Bai is in favor, and the fourth young master is still the younger brother of the third young master. No matter how you look at it, the fourth young master has a better chance."
Tantai Wuli: ...
Tantai Wuli suddenly understood why Huangfu Zhaohua was poisoned.
It turns out...it's the brothers fighting against each other.
But at this time, he heard it and pretended he didn't hear it. He was only responsible for detoxification, and by the way, he helped Huangfu Zhaohua. He didn't want to mess with this kind of big family secret.
·
The main residence of the Huangfu family was huge, and the two of them walked through countless corridors and rockeries before arriving at the ancestral hall in the backyard.
At this time, a young woman in white was kneeling on the futon in front of the ancestral hall, closing her eyes and chanting scriptures. In front of her were countless memorial tablets of the ancestors of the Huangfu family. The sound of chanting was particularly ethereal amidst the smog.
It should be a very pious and peaceful atmosphere, but Tantai Wuli could hear a bit of bewilderment and helplessness from the sound of chanting sutras.
Frowning, Tantai Wuli vaguely conceived a guess, but then he felt that his guess was too absurd.
At this time, Huangfu Zhaohua asked Tantai Wuli to wait outside the ancestral hall, while he entered the ancestral hall slowly.
"Mother, Hua'er is back." Huangfu Zhaohua went to the side of the futon and knelt down, whispering.
When the young woman in white heard Huangfu Zhaohua's voice, her body trembled slightly, as if she was frightened, but soon she straightened up, looked at Huangfu Zhaohua beside her with some surprise and joy, and said softly: "Why did Hua'er remember to come back to see her mother today?"
Huangfu Zhaohua smiled lightly: "There is a piece of good news that Hua'er wants to tell mother."
The young woman in white clothes was a little puzzled, but soon she smiled softly and said, "The good news about Hua'er is naturally great news, please tell your mother quickly."
Huangfu Zhaohua quietly stared into the eyes of the young woman in white, and said with a smile: "Mother, I met a genius doctor yesterday, who solved the bottleneck of my cultivation."
The young woman in white was startled for a moment, then she raised her eyebrows and frowned slightly: "Hua Er, have you been deceived? You don't know how many of those powerful and genius doctors you have seen before, and it didn't work. You said you would never look for them again." Why did they suddenly believe again today?"
"All I met before were quack doctors, so naturally they couldn't cure me. But this time I know, it's not that there is something wrong with my cultivation, but—someone wants to harm me and poison me."
The young woman in white trembled suddenly, then she looked around in a panic, and whispered: "Hua'er, you can't talk nonsense, with your cultivation level, who can poison you, and how can you get hurt?" you?"
Huangfu Zhaohua asked indifferently: "Why does mother think that with my cultivation level, no one will poison me?"
The young woman in white was stunned, and then she said with a somewhat helpless expression: "Even so... Hua'er, have you cured your poison yet? How can there be so many genius doctors in this world? If he could cure you, your father would have-" —”
"Hua'er's poison has not been completely unraveled, but the magic doctor's method is indeed effective, and Hua'er is already much more comfortable."
The young woman in white was slightly taken aback, then she seemed to be relieved, and then she persuaded earnestly: "Where did you find the miracle doctor? Beware of a liar."
"Hua'er's body is clear to Hua'er himself."
The young woman in white suddenly choked.
After finishing speaking, Huangfu Zhaohua quietly stared at the young woman in white with a calm gaze with a slight scrutiny.
Tantai Wuli outside the door listened verbatim to the conversation between the mother and the son, at this moment he felt his heart skip a beat.
It seems that the answer is ready, but why... Huangfu Zhaohua's mother wanted to kill her own son?
Just when Tantai Wuli couldn't figure it out, Huangfu Zhaohua in the ancestral hall suddenly spoke slowly, without a trace of emotion: "Mother, you should be concerned about it, but it's messed up. Please calm down for a while, later talk later."
After speaking, Huangfu Zhaohua stood up from the futon, got up and walked outside.
At this time, the young woman in white in the ancestral hall suddenly said: "Hua'er!"
Huangfu Zhaohua paused slightly.
The young woman in white forced a smile at this moment, and said in a trembling voice: "Hua'er, it's better not to tell your father about your detoxification. It's not too late to tell your father after you've completely detoxified. So as not to make your father happy in vain."
Huangfu Zhaohua said without turning his head: "Okay, I'll go see Ah Zhi first, mother don't worry."
·
When Huangfu Zhaohua came out of the ancestral hall, Tantai Wuli silently followed behind him.
Don't talk about asking questions, Tantai Wuli at this moment doesn't even dare to raise his voice.
But Huangfu Zhaohua walked a few steps, and suddenly asked Tantai Wuli: "I want you to accompany me to play in the future, do you remember?"
Tantai Wuli: "Do you really want to act?"
"of course."
After thinking about it, Tantai Wuli could only nod his head and say: "Then I know."
"Let's go."
This time Huangfu Zhaohua brought Tantai Wuli back to his private courtyard in the main residence of Huangfu's family.
Huangfu Zhaohua's residence is very fresh and elegant. There are more than a dozen Qiongzhou snow crimson pears planted in the courtyard. When the breeze blows, the tender pear blossoms dance in the courtyard like broken jade piles of snow.
There are also a few cranes and golden monkeys with plump and smooth feathers in the courtyard, and they all seem to be taken care of very well.
Huangfu Zhaohua entered the courtyard and said, "Azhi, I'm back."
Soon, a surprised and pleasant voice came from the room, and then, a handsome young man in a green shirt came out quickly, walked up to Huangfu Zhaohua happily and held his hand.
"Zhaohua, you are back!"
Tantai Wuli was slightly taken aback - this is Huangfu Zhaohua's Taoist companion?
After the young man in green shirt grabbed Huangfu Zhaohua, he seemed to notice Tantai Wuli, and asked curiously, "Zhaohua, who is he?"
Huangfu Zhaohua calmly stretched out his hand and patted Ah Zhi's head: "This is called Tantai Wuli, and he is a sworn brother I just met. He is very talented and extremely gifted."
Hearing this, Ah Zhi's face suddenly changed, and then he bit his lips and looked at Tantai Wuli and said, "Tantai Taoist friend is very good, Zhaohua never worships anyone on weekdays, Tantai Taoist friend must be extremely extraordinary where?"
Huangfu Zhaohua actually smiled in a rare way: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be worthy of being my sworn brother."
Ah Zhi bit his lips even tighter.
Tantai Wuli just felt embarrassed at this moment, but since he promised Huangfu Zhaohua to act, he had no choice but to pretend to be a snake: "That's because fellow Taoist Huangfu thinks highly of me."
Ah Zhi's black pupils turned around the two of them, and suddenly said: "Zhaohua, you and fellow Taoist Tantai must be tired, I'll go and prepare a medicinal bath for you, shall we?"
Huangfu Zhaohua said: "Okay, you can arrange it."
As expected, Azhi turned around and left.
Tantai Wuli watched Azhi's leaving back, frowned, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing, fellow daoist?"
Huangfu Zhaohua said indifferently: "You will understand after a while."
Tantai Wuli didn't know what kind of medicine Huangfu Zhaohua sold in his gourd, but Huangfu Zhaohua had said so, he still listened to Huangfu Zhaohua's words, didn't say anything, just waited silently.
Sure enough, Ah Zhi came over after a while, and smiled at the two of them: "Zhaohua, I have arranged the medicine bath, you and this fellow Taoist go quickly, or it will be cold in a while."
At this time, Ah Zhi regained that gentle and kind appearance, which made Tantai Wuli feel that the malice he felt just now on Ah Zhi seemed to be fake.
On the other hand, Huangfu Zhaohua, as if he didn't notice anything, reached out and touched Ah Zhi's head again, saying: "Okay, let's go in."
So Huangfu Zhaohua and Tantai Wuli walked into the room together.
Huangfu Zhaohua walked into the room and closed the door with his hand. Tantai Wuli was about to ask what Huangfu Zhaohua meant, but he saw layers of black air floating on the two barrels of medicine bath at a glance.
Black evil poison? ? ?
Huangfu Zhaohua saw Tantai Wuli's eyes, but he was not surprised at all, as if he knew everything, he said softly: "That's right, there is something wrong with this medicinal bath."
Tantai Wuli was dumbfounded, unable to say anything for a while.
At this time, Huangfu Zhaohua was quietly staring at the misty medicinal bath in front of him, exuding bursts of medicinal fragrance, and said in a calm but somewhat bleak tone: "Ah Zhi has always treated me very well. I have to prepare the medicinal bath for me when I am busy. I didn’t understand before, and I always thought that these things can be done by servants, but now I understand.”
Tantai Wuli: ...
Pursing his lips, Tantai Wuli frowned again and looked at the medicinal bath quietly for a moment, then suddenly walked forward and smelled the medicinal bath carefully.
Then, Tantai Wuli said softly with a strange expression: "Perhaps your Taoist partner has some difficulties? This medicinal bath has added a lot of medicines to slow down the poison of the black evil, so the poison on your body has always been suppressed." It is controlled at the shallow level and cannot go deep."
"Of course he won't poison me to death, because if I die, the Huangfu family will lose a big helper. Only when I am alive and can't threaten that person, can the Huangfu family be truly peaceful." Huangfu Zhaohua said this At that time, the tone became a little bit colder.
Tantai Wuli moved his lips, vaguely guessing who Huangfu Zhaohua was talking about, but at this moment he could only keep silent.
Tantai Wuli knew that the mothers of some families would favor the younger ones, but he never expected that they would favor such a terrifying degree.
Not to mention that Huangfu Zhaohua's Taoist partner also...
It's really hard to say...
Tantai Wuli was silent, but Huangfu Zhaohua slowly opened his mouth, and began to narrate in a very calm but cool tone.
"Because I was born with a sword bone, I was sent to practice in the sword tower of the Huangfu's family when I was very young. I didn't return to the master's house until I became an adult. At that time... my younger brother had already started to go out to practice, and I It was also the first time I saw Ah Zhi."
"Azhi is a child from a foreign race brought back by my younger brother when he went out to practice. He has a very lively personality. My mother has always favored my younger brother. Azhi always enlightens me."
"Later, as a matter of course, I formed a bond with Ah Zhi."
"I used to practice swords since I was a child, and I was almost heartless. The only people in the world who cared about me were Ah Zhi and my mother. After I formed a bond with Ah Zhi, my mother was very affectionate to me. Because my younger brother also found someone from a big family. When the eldest daughter got married, there was no other moment in the limelight. It is said that the family originally belonged to me, but I was already with Ah Zhi, so I didn't care."
"I know that my mother felt ashamed of me because of this incident, and felt that my younger brother took my things, but I didn't care, and my mother treated me a lot better because of this, and I was very happy. Because I never cared about those imaginary things. "
"But since my fourth brother and I got married to each other, the fourth brother's cultivation base suddenly started to skyrocket due to the help of his in-laws, and my practice also began to have problems. I didn't think about it deeply at first, but I still have some details. Noticed. I’ve been less inclined to go home since then.”
At this time, Huangfu Zhaohua stretched out his hand to lightly press the side of the bathtub, and murmured in a low voice: "I always thought that as long as I didn't go home, the problem wouldn't become serious. I always thought that although Ah Zhi also likes Si My younger brother, but at least I like me a little bit, and my mother is not so partial to my fourth brother. But now it seems that I was wrong."
Tantai Wuxin's head trembled, but he couldn't tell what it was like.
Facing Huangfu Zhaohua like this, those enlightening words seemed too pale and powerless when they touched his lips.
Because at this time, it is useless to say anything.
The bloody fact was right in front of him, even if he covered his eyes, the smell of blood still couldn't be concealed.
In the end, Huangfu Zhaohua closed his eyes abruptly, crushed the edge of the tub with one hand, and said, "Fellow Daoist Tantai, please be a witness for me later."
Tantai Wuli:?
Tantai Wuli hesitated for a moment, some didn't know how to answer, but Huangfu Zhaohua understood his hesitation, instead smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't force you to identify anyone, I just want to give up the patriarch's inheritance Qualifications, go outside and set up your own family, let you be a witness."
"I'm not that sad, I'm just... very disappointed."
Sobering disappointment.
