Mu Xiu turned around and turned the mechanism on the wall. There was a "click" sound and the stone door rolled open.

He stepped in and the stone door closed on its own.

After a while, the stone door reopened. A burst of laughter came from inside. Amid the laughter, an old man walked out of the door, followed by Mu Xiu.

This old man was about sixty years old. He was wearing a brown robe and a jade scarf. He had big ears, a ruddy complexion, and a thick long beard. He was very short, only about six feet three inches.

But he has a tall and straight posture and a steady gait. Although he is smiling, there is a sense of majesty between his eyebrows. This person is Yan Ruojuan's master - Elder Ma.

Yan Ruoju hurriedly bowed down and said, "Disciple Yan Ruojuan, please pay homage to the master."

"Good boy, get up quickly!" Elder Ma bent down and helped Yan Ruofuan up. He raised his head and looked at her face, frowning slightly: "The injury is not serious, I really embarrassed you." His words were full of concern.

Affection.

Yan Ruojuan said: "Disciples are just trying their best."

Elder Ma turned to Mu Xiu: "Go and get some old ginseng from Cangling Mountain, um...and get a 'Dragon Marrow Qi Replenishing Pill'." Both of these medicines are good for nourishing and regulating Qi.

The Marrow Qi Refining Pill is even more precious, and it is the most symptomatic for treating Yan Ruojuan's injuries.

"Yes." Mu Xiu bowed to accept the order and went to get the medicine.

Yan Ruojuan took out the magic book from her arms and presented it to Elder Ma.

Elder Ma took it and looked at it for a moment, then put it in his arms, looked at Yan Ruokuan and said gently: "You have made a great contribution this time, and I must reward you well. What do you want? Tell me, no matter what

Not to be mentioned!"

Yan Ruojuan hurriedly bowed and said, "It's all due to Master's careful arrangements. This disciple will never dare to take credit."

"Haha! A meritorious service is a meritorious service. There is nothing to be afraid of. Come on, what do you want? Speak boldly."

Yan Ruokuan pursed her lips, thought for a while, and then said: "Disciple... I beg Master, we must... rescue the second young master..." Her tone was extremely sincere, and she was obviously not being polite.

Elder Ma nodded: "This matter is of great importance. As a teacher, you should do your best. The second young master is a noble person chosen by heaven. He will be blessed by God and will be able to turn the crisis into peace. Don't worry."

Yan Ruojuan said hopefully: "It will definitely happen."

Elder Ma smiled, stroking his beard and said: "Ruojuan, I understand what you mean! When the young master gets better, I will definitely do my best for you... um... "please help me" for you. Hahaha."

Yan Ruoju lowered her head, her cheeks flushed. She was deeply in love with Mr. Guo, and Elder Ma knew it.

After saying goodbye to her master, Yan Ruokuan felt very tired. In addition, the last part of the journey was very hard without the mule cart. She was covered in sweat, so she asked someone for the direction of the bathroom and went to take a bath to wash away the dust.

There was no one in the bathroom at this time, and there was mist inside. In the center was a ten-foot-square pool made of bluestone. The pool was filled with steaming light green water. This was hot spring water taken from the ground. It was not only good for cleaning

It can remove dirt from the body, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and nourish muscles and bones.

Yan Ruojuan took off her clothes and carried her into the pool. She sat on the stone platform inside the pool and was lost in thought.

After soaking for a while, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and it was Ping'er who also came. She said: "Sister Juan'er, I'm here to accompany you." As she spoke, she took off her clothes, stepped into the pool, and stood next to Yan'er.

Ruojuan sat down.

Ping'er's ivory-colored skin can be considered fair, but compared with Yan Ruo's silky skin, it looks a little darker.

Ping'er said happily: "Sister, I bought you some new clothes. You have long legs, so they will definitely look good in them."

Yan Ruokuan pursed her lips and smiled and said, "You know, I have never been interested in clothes, rouge, gouache, etc. Are you still buying them for me?"

Ping'er pouted and said: "Why are you not interested? We are all women. Although we are in the sect, we must wear what we should wear and use. You must wear it!"

"Okay, okay, I'll just listen to you."

Ping'er was satisfied.

After the two chatted for a few more words, Yan Ruojuan suddenly changed the topic and said: "Ping'er, although we now have the complete book of 'Hua Meng Guiding the Soul', we want to collect all the medicines needed to cast the spell.

, treasures are also hard to come by. Especially the 'Peach Wood' and 'Soul-Binding Red Silk' are hard to find..."

Ping'er said: "Huh? Didn't Elder Ma tell you? We have already obtained the 'Peach Wood' and the 'Soul-Binding Red Silk'."

"Seriously?" Yan Ruojuan stood up from the pool with a "swish" sound. The spring water on her body flowed back into the pool along with her smooth skin. She looked particularly excited when she looked at Ping'er.

"Ah! Sit down, sit down. Of course it's true. Mrs. Guo has great magical powers and all the treasures are ready." Ping'er tugged on Yan Ruojuan's wrist and asked her to sit back down in the pool.

The Mrs. Guo she refers to is the mother of the Second Young Master Guo.

"That's great...that's great. Our young master can...can be 'resurrected'. But I don't know how Madam got those two treasures."

"The 'Soul-Binding Red Silk' is easier, costing five hundred thousand taels of silver. The 'Peach Wood' is much more difficult. They were only willing to give it to Madam Guo after she agreed to the Cang Ling Sect to go to the Western Realm to eliminate demons."

This side of the world has two continents, the east and west. People call it the "Eastern Boundary" and the "Western Boundary". The Great Hong Kingdom is located in the Eastern Boundary. More than a thousand years ago, humans and demons fought against each other. Whether it was the Eastern Boundary or the Western Boundary, both

It's the demon who is strong and the man who is weak.

Later, human monks founded sects, united as one, and spent thousands of years finally defeating the demons in the Eastern Realm and becoming the masters of the Eastern Realm. From then on, the demonic creatures could only hide and live in a corner in the Eastern Realm.

But the Western Realm is different. The Western Realm is still a place where monsters are strong and humans are in decline. For humans, it is a more ferocious and barbaric world.

"The Western Border...that's the territory of demons. Why should we go there to eliminate demons? Can we eliminate them all? It's too dangerous. Madam has already gone?"

Ping'er nodded: "I left three days ago. If you had come a few days earlier, you could still have met me."

He added: "I heard that in recent years, the demons in the Western Border have become more and more powerful. The humans there have lost a lot of territory and have no choice but to ask for help from our Dahong. After all, it is the duty of the sect to subdue demons. So the imperial court invited Cang Ling

Master Zong, Cang Ling Zong has found our wife again."

Then he said: "Don't worry, our wife is very skilled in magic, so she will be fine."

"I hope so."

Yan Ruojuan took a shower, put on a clean plain dress, and wanted to go find Guo Yufei. In her arms were four 100-tael banknotes and dozens of taels of silver. This was what she had spent along the way.

The remaining five hundred taels of silver notes.

It was also her last fortune.

On that day, the reason why she hid the banknote from Guo Yufei was to meet unexpected needs on the way to escape. At that time, apart from the banknote, she only had five taels with her, which was really too little to repay the kindness of saving her life. That's why she said

The final five taels appear to be heavier.

Now that we are in the valley, we have someone to rely on, and money is not so important.

She thought about it and decided to take out 400 taels from it and give them all to Guo Yufei, as a way of thanking him for saving his life.

Chao Ping'er asked where Guo Yufei was and was about to go, but Mu Xiu came and said straight to the point: "Junior sister, master is looking for you." His eyes and words were filled with coldness. Yan Ruojuan couldn't help but feel a chill all over her body.

Excited, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Yes, I will go there soon."

Mu Xiu shook his head: "It's urgent, just follow me now." After saying that, he turned around and left. At the same time, he tilted his head and stared at Yan Ruokuan with his cold eyes.
