After the singing gradually dispersed, a clear voice rang out, "Everyone who enters the villa will swear from this oath. They will never tell others what they see or hear."
"Never tell others what you see or what you hear." As those around him repeated this sentence, Wan Qing also hurriedly recited it.
"Next, please come to your disciples and take over the guidance."
Everyone around him slowly got up, and Wan Qing also followed the flow of people and walked in that direction.
But she didn't realize how outstanding she stood out among a group of people who were either in their prime or had deep inner strength.
"This is yours." The young man in the lead handed a sapphire in his hand to Wan Qing, and then returned to his original position.
Not knowing the meaning of this sapphire, Wan Qing froze on the spot and didn't know what to do.
However, she didn't have much time to be stunned. A woman wearing a green gauze quickly took the sapphire from Wan Qing's hand and motioned for her to follow.
The door slammed shut again, and all the torches beside the stone steps were completely extinguished, plunging into endless darkness.
"Elder brother, why did you give her the sapphire?"
"Because she meets all the conditions required by the master."
Following the smile on Junya's lips, the group returned to their residence along the original path.
The test of entering the village was indeed not difficult, as Wan Qing was good at tea art. However, as the night was getting late, the test was moved to the second day. Wan Qing was brought to a simple wing, and the woman with green gauze put the sapphire in her hand.
He handed it back to Wan Qing and then said goodbye, leaving Wan Qing alone in the empty wing.
When all the sounds disappeared, Wan Qing suddenly remembered that her clothes were extremely dirty, but her replacement clothes were left in the carriage, and she felt extremely embarrassed.
After some hesitation, Wan Qing still opened the door and planned to go out to find someone who could take charge. Unexpectedly, clean clothes were already prepared at the door, and the material was better than what she was wearing. Wan Qing put it in front of her.
It took it from the tray and looked around, but saw no one. Moreover, it had not relaxed its vigilance just now. How could it be possible that someone was passing by the door without even knowing it?
"Looking for hot water?" A sudden voice came from behind, causing Wan Qing to subconsciously use Qing Kung Fu to jump out, turning her head in horror to look at the man with a slight smile on his face.
It turned out to be the young man who took the lead just now. Because of the chaotic crowd, Wan Qing just glanced at the man briefly and remembered that the man had extremely delicate eyebrows, so he roughly knew his identity when he looked into those eyes.
Seeing that Wan Qing didn't answer, the man also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Han Jing, I still have a voice in this villa. If you need anything, you can ask me."
Seeing that Wan Qing still didn't speak, Han Jing played with his jade pendant and put away his cynical expression, "How do you like the moon-white gown?"
"I don't pick out clothes. If the young master wants to ask for something, just tell him." If she doesn't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything, she will not think that this person is interested in her and is doing everything possible to show his goodwill. Instead of beating around the bush with him.
, it is better to pass the test early after a good rest and get the medicinal materials and go back.
Seeing that Wan Qing passed by him but did not turn him away, Han Jing followed him in naturally.
Wan Qing rubbed his forehead. Although men and women in the world are informal, isn't this too casual? She couldn't close the door simply because he was leaning against it!
Seeing Wan Qing's extremely troubled expression, Han Jing realized that he had gone over the line, but now that the matter had come to this, Han Jing had no idea of going back.
Before he was stared at by others, Han Jin put a piece of tissue paper on Wan Qing's desk and made a silent gesture, "Remember to burn after reading. I'll get you some hot water. Please!"
After saying that, the figure disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Wan Qing cast his doubtful eyes on the thin paper.
Submit a letter - If Master allows you to take someone down the mountain, please choose me.
What is this? As an outsider, I am actually allowed to take someone down the mountain? This villa is really too mysterious...
But before Wan Qing had a chance to continue thinking about it, a huge wooden bucket was brought in, and then several female disciples came in one after another carrying hot water and poured it into the wooden bucket.
"I've tested the water temperature." Han Jin appeared again without anyone noticing, clapped his hands and ducked out, but seemed to have thought of something and poked his head in, "Ah, by the way, what medicinal materials are you going to ask for?"
?White peony root? Is there anything else?"
"Tiger bones recently..." Wan Qing hesitated for a moment, waiting for Han Jin's answer, but unexpectedly Han Jin's face turned pale.
"Don't talk about the tiger bones. After I come down from the mountain, I will hunt the white tigers elsewhere for you. The ones on this mountain are definitely not allowed." After Han Jing whispered, he closed the door so that Wan Qing could rest assured.
Wan Qing hesitated for a moment, then closed the door bolt, placed a candle in front of the window and door, and then got into the barrel.
Fortunately, Han Jing is not a villain, so Wan Qing's bathing was safe this time.
"Okay. You can go to sleep now. As you are the first female family member of ours to go up the mountain, I will be the flower protector for the time being. No one will disturb you. But remember our agreement." Han Jing sat down.
On the branch in front of Wanqing's house, he was chewing grass roots and looking at the brightly lit town in the distance. This was his last chance to leave. No matter what, he would not let it go.
Wan Qing was stunned for a moment and opened the window. Han Jing turned his head and grinned at Wan Qing.
The moonlight fell on Han Kyung's smiling face, but for some reason he looked extremely lonely. Like a bird trapped in a cage, unable to escape, but unwilling to give up.
Wan Qing didn't answer. After closing the window, she blew out the candles and clothes and went to sleep.
The next morning, with the sound of the bell, Wan Qing, who had already woken up, walked out of the room. The woman with green gauze who led her here yesterday also walked into the courtyard. Seeing that Wan Qing had already washed up, she nodded and took her with her.
Walk to the side hall.
When Wan Qing turned around, there was no one on the tree, but a nest of sparrows were singing happily there.
Wan Qing put on a smile and followed the green gauze woman with peace of mind.
When they arrived at the side hall, many people were already standing in the hall, and when they suddenly saw them, a different light seemed to flash in their eyes.
Wan Qing also noticed the subtlety of the atmosphere, but did not speak to break it. She found a deserted corner and stood quietly.
In the side hall, except for myself, everyone is a man, so it is not an exaggeration to be treated like this, but I always feel that there is something uneasy in my heart, and the eyes of some people are really unfriendly.
Just when Wan Qing couldn't bear it anymore, someone couldn't bear the silence and jumped out, "Hey, little lady, how did you bribe those disciples? Didn't you realize that these are all big men? How could you get here?
?”
Bridging? If these disciples were easy to bribe, she would be eager to use the money to talk.
Wan Qing sneered, raised her head faintly, and looked at the big man who spoke.
Hmm. He looks very upright, but his mouth is a little crooked.
Thinking of this, Wan Qing's smile became even stronger, and the big man was also annoyed, so he slapped Wan Qing with his palm as big as a cattail leaf.
This world is ultimately a place where one recognizes one's strength and does not look at others.
