Chapter 121 Mysterious Medicine Mountain

Mu Yuan and Yue Lizhang were playing chess in the courtyard. They both ate a lot at noon, so they didn't keep the food that was delivered. After one afternoon, when the Zhou family came to take them to dinner, they didn't eat. It turned out that it was so late, and during this time, Yue Mingyu had never been back.

This time I changed to a different hall, and I couldn't hold a banquet in the previous one. After all, being struck by lightning was scary. When I came to the seat and sat down, I saw Yue Mingyu was at Mr. Zhou's side.

"Sister Mu, do you think anything else will happen tonight?"

Mu Yuan rolled her eyes at him after hearing what he said. This kid is addicted to watching the fun.

"Eat in peace, I guess no one can make any more noise."

As expected, nothing unexpected happened during the meal, and Mr. Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief. If something happened again, the Zhou family might not be able to regain their dignity.

Waiting to return to the courtyard where they lived, Mu Yuan quietly left the place after everyone rested.

The room of the old man of the Zhou family was still brightly lit by candles, and when Mu Yuan walked in, she found that she was checking the gifts she had received.

The 'Sustaining Powder' that made her curious was placed in the most conspicuous position. The name was called Sustaining Powder. In fact, it was a purple-red pill. Mu Yuan took a closer look and found that it was not a medicine inside. They are tiny insect eggs. If someone is willing to cut open the pill, they will only see some small particles, but among these tiny particles are insect eggs that have not yet hatched.

Mu Yuan watched Mr. Zhou put down the others and let someone take them to the warehouse, leaving only this one. He just hesitated after holding it in his hand. Looking at the tangled expression, after a while, he called someone to go. Called his eldest grandson over.

Seeing the old man personally watched his grandson take the pill, and then asked him to go back, and must keep it secret, Mu Yuan followed Zhou's grandson back to his yard.

Yigu's wife, who had not seen the legendary man, watched him lie down and fall asleep after returning, and Mu Yuan began to check his condition after taking the pills.

After some careful inspection, Mu Yuan finally confirmed one thing. This Xuanyao Mountain is not a simple double cultivation of medicine and poison. It quickly hatched and penetrated into the body. It took only an hour or so, but it had already started to reproduce in the body. Looking at the speed, in a short time, the internal organs, bones, blood and even the brain would be covered by these tiny creatures. Gu worms take over.

Just like the self-healing ability that Mu Yuan gave Yue Lishang, it will repair after a person is seriously injured, and internal injuries or diseases will soon get better, but this person's life will be completely handed over to the hands of the person who controls the poison. , but this Gu insect can only survive for three to five years, presumably it is a way to extend life.

After staring at it for a long time, it was not until this week that the bodies of the parents and grandchildren looked like healthy normal people. At this time, the Gu worms stopped multiplying. It seemed that the repair results were completed and they were in a static state.

Mu Yuan doesn't have much interest in this kind of Gu insect, if she has time in the future, maybe she can go and have a look, but now, it's not so attractive, at least it doesn't harm anyone because of it.

The Zhou family's birthday banquet was over, and after the birthday banquet, they stayed here for another three days. The three of them left the Zhou family and planned to continue walking around the rivers and lakes. During this period, the disciple from Xuanyao Mountain came to I looked for Mu Yuan once, but after looking at her for a while, I apologized that I recognized the wrong person. After he left, Mu Yuan took a look at her quietly, and he actually thought that Mu Yuan was with Yue Lishang when he first saw her. This kind of bewitching face is similar to their Xuanyao Mountain, but after meeting them, they found that the unique Gu worms didn't respond, so they knew it was a mistake.

Mu Yuan didn't expect this to be the reason, and she talked to Yue Lizhang after she came back, and saw him look in the mirror several times, and in the end she only said, 'So Xuanyaoshan is beautiful! '

Now the three of them sat in the carriage and continued on the road. There was no destination this time, but Yue Mingyu said that some places in the south had good specialties. This trip to the rivers and lakes finally turned into looking for delicious food in each area in the south of the Yangtze River. After walking through, half a year has passed by the time they are ready to return. The weather here is very hot now. Although the three of them don't think it has anything to do with it, after all, their internal strength is high, and the external temperature will not cause any trouble. After buying all these delicious food, it was unbearable that the taste changed on the same day. Finally, the three of them discussed it and returned.

On this return trip, we headed all the way north, first staying at the Zhou family for one night. I don’t know what Yue Mingyu was talking about with this Zhou family grandson. He didn’t return home all night. In just half a year, the Zhou family has changed a lot. , Mr. Zhou supported his eldest grandson to become the head of the family. Only then did Mu Yuan know that Mr. Zhou's eldest son died not long after the grandson was born. The other sons and grandsons were not in his eyes, but it was a pity that he cultivated them. The eldest grandson of more than ten years has developed a frail disease. This week, the old man used his connections to go to Xuan Yao Mountain to seek life-extending powder.

"Sister Mu, he asked for the birthday present himself. No wonder people came out to give him such a heavy present!"

Patting Yue Lizhang's head, Mu Yuan felt that it was not that simple, but he did save people. He only hoped that the Zhou family would be able to deal with losing the head of the family in three to five years. However, when leaving the Zhou family, Yue Mingyu said that in fact, this The next heir of the Zhou family has already been found. The legendary young lady from Yigu is actually a real person. However, she was expelled from Yigu because she insisted on marrying the grandson of the Zhou family. The reason why she did not show up at the birthday banquet However, it was because after the incident in the Medical Valley, he was sent to a place to raise his fetus. Now the child has been born, and he is a healthy, fat boy. The reason why Mr. Zhou must give up the position of the head of the family is to provide This great-grandson is just paving the way.

Mu Yuan and Yue Lishang could only sigh with emotion about the affairs of this big family, there were indeed a lot of twists and turns, but after all, they were all their affairs.

"By the way, why do you always feel that you have some strange relationship with the Zhou family?"

Looking at Yue Mingyu's smile, Mu Yuan thought of his weird behavior these two times and always felt that something was being hidden.

"Because, this Zhou family is a force left by the late emperor for future generations when he was still alive. They are placed in the rivers and lakes, waiting to be used against Yigu one day. However, the matter of Yigu has been resolved, and they It can be used to weaken the martial arts world and strengthen the imperial power, but this matter needs to be done slowly and change the minds of the people in the world bit by bit."

Yue Lishang looked at his father with admiration on his face, while Mu Yuan was too lazy to look at them. This was not only a family problem, but also a country's trouble. Fortunately, it had nothing to do with her. Otherwise, just thinking about it would make her head grow bigger.
When the three of them arrived at Mojiang, they met the disciple from Xuanyao Mountain again. After seeing Mu Yuan and Yue Lizhang, he came over with a smile and said hello. After exchanging pleasantries, they discovered that he was here for Mojiang. He had left before. The Zhou family returned to their master's sect. When passing by, they saw Mojiang changing color. They went back to report it and then received the task of investigating. Not only did they take a few disciples down the mountain with them, but they met him again without thinking. They are.

They boarded the boat and said goodbye to these people. They continued to head north to the imperial city. As for whether the disciples of Xuanyao Mountain could find anything in the clear Mojiang River, Mu Yuan was not worried at all. The Mojiang River was just an ordinary river now. As for them Who knows if the source of the suspicion is really something, anyway, she didn't find it at the time.
