I took out a pair of gloves from my arms, put them on, and picked up some dead branches in the pile of soil.

"What kind of treasure is this, isn't it afraid of poison?" Lu Xiaofeng asked with a smile.

"You don't know that, do you? These are gloves made of celestial silk. Not only are they invulnerable to all poisons, but they are also invulnerable to weapons. The proprietress is really kind. She gave it to me when I said goodbye to her in Huangshi Town. "I smiled and crushed the dead leaves, I was about to smell it to see what it was like, but was stopped by Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng clasped my wrist, frowning slightly, "What are you doing?"

"I want to smell it to see what it smells like."

"Didn't you just say that you were worried about being poisonous and wouldn't let me touch it?" Lu Xiaofeng glared at me.

I stared back, "Of course I can't let you touch it, but if it's me, it's fine."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't let go of my wrist, sighed and said: "It seems that no matter if it's a big girl or a young girl, they always use the same method when they make strong words."

I gave him a sideways glance, "Whoever argues with you, I'll be fine, really." What's really going on, at most, is a little more toxicity in the body, anyway, I'm already poisoned, more or less doesn't make any difference, I can't Lu Xiaofeng brought me to the Ghost Palace out of good intentions, and besides using him as a coolie, I would poison him, that would be too unkind of me.

Although I don't think I'm a kind person, I still have to be kind.

The grace of dripping water is reciprocated by the fountain.

I understand this truth, but I don't have enough ability at present, so I can only silently remember those who have helped me in my heart.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at me with suspicious eyes, and said in a casual tone that he could not refuse, "Take these dead branches with me, and we will go back to Bai Jing's residence to have a look."

I blinked, then nodded, "Okay."

I took out the handkerchief and wrapped the dead branches in the handkerchief. I put the dead leaves wrapped in the handkerchief into the embroidery bag on my waist and stood up. "Then shall we go?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, the man's slender body was walking in front, the moonlight stretched his figure to a long distance, I followed behind him, and suddenly felt that such a night was actually pretty good.

It's quiet and charming.

"The defense of this ghost palace is too weak." Lu Xiaofeng said.

I'm a little speechless, with his lightness, even the Forbidden City with martial arts masters on the inner and outer floors can enter and exit like no one's land, what are these guards in the Ghost Palace?What's more, Bai Jing is not in the ghost palace, and there is still a green forest full of poisonous weeds outside, who has nothing to do and comes here to patrol the Meilin in the middle of the night?

Walking out of the plum forest, Lu Xiaofeng stopped and looked back at me.

I was taken aback and blinked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Xiaofeng laughed and said, "What's the matter? I'll take you flying. Otherwise, you can pass over that thing?"

He pointed to the high wall in front, inside the high wall was Bai Jing's yard.In the past, that high wall was a trivial matter for me, and I passed it with a light jump.But now it’s not the past, the injury on my back still hurts, not only internal injuries but also yin and yang evils on my body, how dare I use my internal strength indiscriminately?

"..."

Fly his head!

"So, you think this pot has something to do with the antidote?"

Hua Manlou pressed one hand on the window sill, and the fingers of the other hand were still lightly touching the potted plants that Lu Xiaofeng and I brought back from Bai Jing's residence overnight.

Visiting the Ghost Palace at night is not without gain.At least, Lu Xiaofeng and I found some weird things in Bai Jing's residence, such as those buried dead potted plants, and this potted plant that Lu Xiaofeng and I brought back.

"What does this little thing look like?" Hua Manlou asked.

"Deep purple leaves, they don't look good. If there are no flowers, just a few leaves. It's nothing to see." Lu Xiaofeng insisted that if he can sit and never stand, and if he can lie down and never sit, he put his hands behind his head , sitting lazily on the teacher's chair, the voice is also lazy.Of course, whenever he sat down, he always had a jug of wine in his hand.

Huamanlou's beautiful eyebrows were slightly raised.

"Brother Hua, do you think this potted plant is the same as the thing I brought back?" I took out the dead branches I picked up last night from my arms, and wanted to give it to Huamanlou, but after thinking about it, I couldn't help it. Worried that the dead branches are poisonous, he hesitated.

Hua Manlou stretched out his hand to me, "It's alright, show me."

"That thing might be poisonous." Lu Xiaofeng said.

"I have been with flowers and plants since I was a child, poisonous and non-toxic, I always have some feelings." With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Hua Manlou turned his head slightly, and turned to my direction, "Feifei?"

I reached out and handed him the dead branch in my hand. He only touched it, then smiled and said, "It's the same."

Lu Xiaofeng told Huamanlou last night that it only takes one finger to tell the authenticity of an antique, so let me bring the potted plant and dead branches back to Huamanlou to see if it is the same plant, I am skeptical .Seeing this, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

"Is this the way to tell the difference?" I couldn't help but ask.

Lu Xiaofeng opened his eyes, looked at me with smiling eyes, and said, "I only believe in three things in this world, and Hua Manlou's judgment is one of them."

I was speechless, and really wanted to complain that I also knew that Huamanlou was very powerful, she looked like a god.But there are times when the male god is wrong, otherwise how could he be deceived by that woman Shangguan Feiyan?

"I have heard that there are exotic plants in the world that call the heart of death, the leaves are deep purple, and they are very mediocre for ordinary ornamental purposes. If they are fed with human blood, they will produce toxicity. The toxicity produced by feeding with different human blood is also different."

Lu Xiaofeng and I were stunned for a moment, then looked at Huamanlou together, "And then? If feeding with human blood will cause toxicity, wouldn't the person who grows the flowers be poisoned too?"

Hua Manlou shook his head slightly, "No, the person who raises the flowers raises the flowers with blood, then her blood can not only induce toxicity, but also detoxify it."

"..."

If Hua Manlou's conjecture is correct, is Bai Jing's blood the antidote to the poison suffered by the gatekeepers of Ghost Palace?

But Bai Jing is dead, even if there is blood on her body, it is still coagulated... I feel the veins on the forehead twitch happily several times, really, let me say something.

I rubbed my temples with some headaches, then lay down on the table, looking at the warm man standing facing the window.

Hua Manlou turned around, walked to the table and sat down on the chair accurately, with a slight smile on his face, "I just read it from some ancient books. I don't understand medicine and I don't know how true it is. Why don't you hurry up?" Go to Wanmei Villa and ask the owner of Ximen Villa for advice."

I nodded and looked at Lu Xiaofeng, "Lu Xiaofeng, shall we hurry on our way?"

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at me, and suddenly said: "Xiao Feifei, I think you are very rude to me."

I was a little confused, so I couldn't react and looked at him.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Hua Manlou and I are good friends, about the same age. Why do you call him Brother Hua and me Lu Xiaofeng?"

"..."

I was speechless, then smiled at him, and called out sweetly: "Uncle Lu."

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

"Because you have a beard, you look several years older than Brother Hua. If I call you Brother, people will think that I am as old as you." I blinked my eyes, and my tone was very innocent.

"Nonsense!" Lu Xiaofeng frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with my explanation.

I snorted softly, my throat was itchy, and I couldn't help coughing a few times.It's okay not to cough, but once you cough, you can't hold it back, and your chest will hurt as well.

"Little Lord?"

Wu Yi walked forward with a worried tone.

I waved my hand at him, "Ahem...I'm fine."

My heart felt constricted, and my body was suddenly very hot. The first time the Yin-Yang evil had an attack was when I was just injured by Bai Jing, that was five days ago.Is it going to happen again now?

Beads of sweat slid from my forehead, my hands covered my chest, and my forehead pressed against the cold table.

It hurts...so hot...

As soon as the body is tilted, it will fall to the ground.

An arm came across to hold me, and my head rested on the man's shoulder.

"Is it the yin-yang evil?" It was Lu Xiaofeng's voice.

I turned my head away from his shoulder and looked at him, only to see that his brows were knit together, and there seemed to be a bit of worry in his brows.

Smiling at him, I wanted to say something to him, but my body was out of control.I closed my eyes, and finally let myself fall into his arms. The only impression I had before falling into the darkness was the faint scent of alcohol on the man's body. The two scents were mixed together, and it was not as refreshing and pleasant as that day. But it made me feel at ease.

I always thought that in this world, no one would care about my life or death.

Zuo Hufa and Wu Yi cared about my life and death, but they just placed a bet on me.If they hadn't been poisoned, what did Bai Feifei's life and death have to do with them?

No, actually there are.That little girl Ruyi really cares about me, but that's different.In the Palace of Ghosts, I can't protect myself. Ruyi is the little girl I have put my heart into cultivating. Although I am very helpless, she has always relied on me.

But how can a person who asks nothing of me care about my life or death?But I saw in Lu Xiaofeng's eyes that he was worried about me, no matter whether he was out of sympathy or intolerance or something else, it was already too much for me.
