medicine stone without medicine

The scream startled Lou Hua.

He took half a step back, but he didn't know what stimulated the people in the room, and they screamed one after another, causing him a headache.

In the midst of the chaos, a person suddenly emerged from the crowd, and knelt down in front of Lou Hua with a "thud".

He probably didn't see who it was in front of him, so he bowed down to Lou Hua:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Tonight! We are going to catch ghosts tonight, please spare me... please forgive me!!"

Following this sentence, there was a voice of agreement.

Call him a ghost for a while, and call him your majesty for a while.

Lou Hua narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the group of people.

The people in this room are all men. At first glance, they all look similar, they are all unkempt and battered.

But if you take a closer look, the clothes on them are mostly Taoist robes, plus the word "ghost hunting" in Cai Cai's words, their identities are obvious. Most of them are alchemists who disappeared after entering the imperial city for 30 years. .

No matter how you look at it, you also look crazy?

But also, after staying in this kind of place for 30 years, it would be strange not to be crazy.

Thinking of this, Lou Hua felt that the matter became more and more interesting, and he also became more and more curious.

So, what does this Zhou Yewang look like, that he can force so many living people to this point?

While he was in a trance, the alchemists in front of him cried and begged for mercy all the time.

Lou Hua was feeling annoyed and was about to drag Qin Dongyi away, but suddenly heard a voice interspersed with the crying, which was particularly abrupt.

"You two, did you come in after uncovering the imperial list?"

The man's voice was hoarse, and he had obviously been tortured.

Lou Hua looked along the source of the sound, and saw a person slowly standing up in the corner.

That man was also dressed in Taoist robes, with disheveled hair, but his eyes were rarely clear.

Lou Hua looked him up and down, raised his eyebrows slightly and asked:

"you are?"

The Taoist hesitated to speak for a moment, and finally glanced at the people around him, beckoning them to go out and talk.

The door of the room opened and closed, finally blocking the crying and howling behind the door.

The Taoist priest seemed to have not seen the sun for a long time. After going out, he closed his eyes and waited for a while before opening them reluctantly. He saluted Lou Hua and Qin Dongyi:

"I am a casual cultivator, Ning Sang. I wonder if the two fellow Taoists are...?"

Lou Hua raised her eyes and glanced at Qin Dongyi, and introduced very naturally:

"We came out to practice, this is...my senior brother."

As he spoke, he bent his eyes to look at Qin Dongyi, smiling like a cunning little fox, but the next moment, the smile in his eyes stopped slightly.

Because he found that when he said the word "senior brother", Qin Dongyi seemed to be stunned for a moment.

Although that expression was fleeting, it was still captured by Lou Hua.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, suppressed his smile, thought for a while, and then had a guess in his heart.

He ignored Qin Dongyi, but looked at Ning Sang and asked:

"What are the origins of these people in the room, and they are also casual cultivators like you?"

Ning Sang shook his head:

"Most of them are mortal monks and Taoists, and there are also a few charlatans. They came here for the bounty, but once they entered the imperial city, they couldn't get out."

"Why?"

Lou Hua asked back.

Ning Sang is different from those people, he is a casual cultivator, he has some real cultivation, so he can't even get out of a small imperial city.

"contract."

Ning Sang sighed:

"I don't know why, there is a contract on the emperor's list. If you don't fulfill the emperor's request, you will not be able to get out of this palace city no matter what."

"Is that so..."

Lou Hua nodded thoughtfully:

"Then these days are really boring."

"It's not just boring." Ning Sang shook his head.

Maybe he hasn't talked to a normal person for too long, and he wanted to tell all the grievances when he opened his mouth:

"Those mortal Taoist priests are mostly mortal wombs. They have never seen real ghosts. They were frightened when they saw ghosts. Coupled with the power of the contract, they couldn't escape the imperial city. Over time, even the emperor thought that Everything was done by that ghost. He locked us here and only released us at night to hunt ghosts. The emperor was so cruel that he arrested one person from the house every three days. Those people never came back, just heard The eunuch and maid said, it's very miserable."

Hearing what Ning Sang said, Lou Hua narrowed his eyes slightly.

he asks:

"They are mortals, and you are not. You never thought of resisting one or two? Since you can't get out, why don't you just kill the old emperor? Are you really willing to just do this as a piece of fish on the chopping board?"

Ning Sang's expression froze for a moment.

He paused, then said:

"What is wrong with mortals, there is no need to take their lives because of this..."

"Oh, Daoist Priest is really kind-hearted, he looks just like my senior brother." Lou Hua slightly bent his eyes, and finally just chuckled inexplicably:

"Then the evil spirits in the palace have really harmed many people."

After a brief chat with Ning Sang, Lou Hua had a general idea of ​​what to do.

He also didn't want to go back to the dirty and messy room, so he followed Qin Dongyi to wander around the palace twice.

The two of them concealed their aura, and outsiders could not see where they were even if they had four eyes.Therefore, it was as easy for two outsiders to visit the imperial palace as to visit the back garden of their own home. In the end, after wandering around, they actually found the imperial garden.

There were no people in the imperial garden, but a lot of flowers and plants were blooming in full bloom under the sun.

Lou Hua had been walking by Qin Dongyi's side, and the two stepped onto the stone path in the imperial garden. After a while, he slowed down a little, and finally stopped, raising his eyes and staring at Qin Dongyi's back in a trance.

When Qin Dongyi walked away three or four steps, the corners of Lou Hua's lips curled up suddenly.

Looking at the slender figure in the smoky blue body, he suddenly shouted:

"Brother?"

His tone rose slightly, with a smile, somewhat tentative.

Sure enough, just as he expected, after hearing these two words, Qin Dongyi's whole body froze for a moment.

Then, he looked back at Lou Hua very slowly.

The emotion in that glance contained many things that Lou Hua couldn't understand.

It seems to be some disbelief, joy, longing, and even a trace of... self-blame?

No matter what those emotions were, Lou Hua did see a glimmer of light in Qin Dongyi's eyes, which was different from his usual expression.

It's just a pity that the light went out the moment Qin Dongyi looked at Shanglouhua.

Lou Hua's eyes were full of playful smiles.

He slowly walked towards Qin Dongyi, then reached out and hooked his neck, and almost leaned into his arms.

He bent his eyes to look at Qin Dongyi's, and asked with a half-smile:

"Brother? Is that what he called you?"

After all, before Qin Dongyi could respond, Lou Hua slightly lowered his voice:

"You are the one who put me on the bed to kiss, and you are the one who thinks about others. Mr. Shuyue, you are too much."

Qin Dongyi just heard Lou Hua calling him "senior brother", and he was only in a trance for a moment.

He quickly sorted out those emotions that shouldn't be there.

He raised his hand to support Lou Hua's waist, and only answered:

"I'm thinking about you."

Hearing this, Lou Hua's smile deepened.

Afterwards, he raised his chin slightly, moved close to Qin Dongyi's ear, and opened his mouth to bite him.

"Okay. If you say it's me, I'll believe it."

After leaving these words, he let go of Qin Dongyi's neck, took a step back, suppressed his smile, and said:

"I'll go around by myself, so I won't hang out with Shuyue-jun."

After saying that, he spread his wings and turned into a white bird, and flew in a random direction.

Lou Hua didn't know where to go.

Anyway, the experience of coming to Chang'an was originally Qin Dongyi's business, and he saved people from Qingyang Mountain, so it had nothing to do with Lou Hua, even if he turned around and left now, it would be fine.But it was all because of the bad contract of that bad old man, which made him unable to fly out of the imperial city, and could only circle around in the palace.

There is no sycamore tree in this dilapidated imperial palace, and the building painting turned around several times before finally choosing a tree that is more pleasing to the eye, and it fell on the branch.

Lou Hua felt a sullen feeling for no reason.

In the past few days since we met, he has always regarded Qin Dongyi as a special plaything. This person can give him a lot of fresh feelings, which is different from others.

But I don't know when this plaything started, and it has slowly affected his mood.

It was probably because he realized that this plaything not only belonged to him, but was caused by the possessive desire in his heart, which made some things that he thought he didn't care about at all stuck in his heart like a stone.

Lou Hua lay on the branch, narrowing her eyes slightly and looking at the sky.

In short, Qin Dongyi can handle it by himself.Lou Hua was too lazy to wander around with him, and simply lay down on the tree and fell asleep.

But without Qin Dongyi by her side, Lou Hua couldn't sleep well this time, and had many messy dreams.

In his dream, he saw a young man standing in the mist, calling "senior brother" one after another.

The torment these two words brought to Lou Hua was really not light.

He tried his best to clear the fog and see who the noisy guy was, but no matter how hard he tried, there was always a layer of whiteness between him and the boy, and he could only see a rough outline from the beginning to the end.

Lou Hua tried his best to run towards the thick fog, but he didn't know if he was obsessed too much or what, but in the end, he really came behind the boy.

That person was dressed as a disciple of Qingyang Mountain, and his figure was thin and thin. Lou Hua always looked familiar when he looked at him.

He raised his hand and patted the boy's shoulder.

However, at the moment when the young man was about to turn his head back, a burst of crying suddenly came from Lou Hua's ear.

The crying sound was like a stone breaking the calm lake surface, causing ripples in circles, and even the face that brought the boy who turned around was blurred, and finally disappeared.

In the end, Lou Hua only had time to see the faint smile on his lips.

Frivolous and indifferent, like a silent mockery.

He opened his eyes suddenly.

Lou Hua propped himself up and sat up from the tree. He was breathing heavily, and while breathing slowly, he raised his hand to wipe off the fine cold sweat from his forehead.

He recalled the appearance of the boy in his dream, but soon, his thoughts were interrupted by a burst of crying.

Lou Hua froze for a moment.

The crying sound was indeed the same as what he heard in his dream. The voice was low and hoarse, and it sounded like an old woman.

Who is crying in the palace in the middle of the night?

Lou Hua raised her eyebrows slightly, curious, she jumped off the tree and headed towards where the sound came from.

At this time, it was already night, and the place where Louhua was located was full of trees and weeds, it didn't look like it was often visited by people, and naturally there were no lights around.

But in this dark night, he caught a glimpse of a fire nearby.

Lou Hua took two steps forward, and when he pushed aside the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees that blocked his view, he saw an old woman in the open space not far away.

She was squatting, crying and burning something in the fire on the ground.

Lou Hua didn't know if this was some weird ritual.

But what interested him were the thoughts in the old woman's mouth.

Her voice was mixed with the crying, Lou Hua couldn't hear what she said, but he caught a familiar name from it.

That is……

"Zhou Xiang"
