"You mean..."

"The old man means to let you learn about this herb. Even if he was picked by the old man to such a remote corner, he can still grow like this. Let me notice it again. You are not trusted now, you just need to be yourself. Work hard Keep living step by step, make progress little by little, and wait for the day when the power falls to the people... Wouldn't it be beautiful."

The old man didn't seem to realize that there was something wrong with what he said. He looked at the pale Jiang Li, and added: "Speaking of which, the current prime minister is also surnamed Jiang, and you have a predestined relationship with her."

Hearing this, Jiang Li guessed that the old man didn't know her identity, so she nodded cheekily, and went up to ask: "Old man...then do you know how the prime minister Jiang is?"

Jiang Li watched the old man start transplanting the herbs again, and guessed that he should not be in a hurry to leave, so it was useless to worry, so she had to tentatively ask this sentence to ease the embarrassment.

The hand of the old man moving the herbs stopped, with some doubts on his face: "Isn't the girl from a good family? It stands to reason that she should know more than the old man, right? In fact, the prime minister, Jiang, dare not say what kind of person she is. We common people have done good deeds. Although she once greedy for tribute to the emperor, she never squeezed money from us. When the empress ascended the throne, I heard that the prime minister, Jiang Shi, also restrained a lot... the rest are old I don't know anymore."

Hearing this, Jiang Li silently gave the original owner a big compliment in her heart. Even if the original owner treated Qi Ning extremely badly, fortunately, she was able to save face and not let the people criticize her. This is why the original owner was able to successfully win over Qi Ning in the previous life. The throne and no one does not listen.

The old man moved the herbs back to the middle position again. Today's sunshine is very good. Under the light, it seems that the green of the surrounding weeds has become brighter. Jiang Li also felt much more cheerful after talking freely.

It's just that once you relax, you start to think about other things, such as where is Qi Ning now, if you don't leave, will you be unable to catch up? Jiang Li could have something to ask just now, but now she can only stand there dryly Watching the old man take care of his herbs.

I don't know how long it took before the old man came holding a flower with a very special color in his hand. The flower was light blue and had the color like the iceberg snow lotus, but it didn't have the aloofness of the iceberg snow lotus. People want to come forward and get close.

"Old man, what kind of flower is this, and why is it so special?" Jiang Li looked at the flower in the old man's hand curiously, and wanted to touch it, but he dared not touch it, and he didn't smell any strange fragrance.

The old man put the flower into Jiang Li's hands, and Jiang Li held the flower in white and tender hands, which was very suitable: "This flower doesn't have a name, but since you asked today, I will take one Let’s call it Yue Ning Hua. Yue from Yueyao City, Ning from An Ning. How about it?”

Jiang Li nodded frantically, but suddenly felt that the name could have other meanings, Yue Ning...

Before she finished thinking, the old man continued to explain: "After the poison on your body is cured, you can put the petals on the bracelet. Because you have been poisoned and your physique is different, this flower will never wither if you wear it on your body." , and even some sayings about safety."

Jiang Li's eyes widened in an instant, and she couldn't put it down looking at Yue Ninghua. Since she traveled here, she has become superstitious. Now this flower is indeed special, and Jiang Li cherishes it even more.

"Okay, we don't want to stay for long." The old man followed his beard and walked ahead alone. The journey with Qi Ning can be said to be the opposite. Jiang Li was immersed in the excitement and didn't realize it. When I looked back, I saw that I had gone a long way.

"Old... old man, where are we going? How can I remember that the direction she is going is not here." Jiang Li's voice was a little trembling, and he was not familiar with the place, but it was already overwhelming to meet this old man. All hopes were placed on him. If the old man also had problems at this moment, then his own life might be on the line.

When the old man turned his head and saw her like this, he couldn't help laughing, and tried to explain: "You have been poisoned so deeply, how could it be possible for you to accompany her to walk such a long way? In fact, I have a close Lu, I had no choice but to push her away just now."

Jiang Li felt slightly relieved when she heard this passage, but she still didn't understand why she had to go so far if she simply wanted to drive Qi Ning away, since she was clearly in urgent need of diagnosis and treatment for poisoning.

It's a pity that I am begging others to heal me now, so I have no reason to ask questions, so I can only hold flowers in my hands and follow behind the old man. Her injuries are getting worse, and she can feel pain every step she takes. Tell the old man, the old man did not look back, but his pace slowed down.

After following the old man for a while, Jiang Li saw a cellar-like place appearing in front of him. Without the slightest hesitation, the old man opened the wooden door of the cellar, and what appeared in front of them was the long steps that spread underground. .

"The long steps were built several decades ago, leading directly to the ruined temple. In fact, the ruined temple is far away, and it is also close. The girl walked a long way to get there. The ruined temple, and we can walk straight to it." As he said that, the old man picked up an oil lamp placed at the door of the cellar, a few flints collided, sparks were created, he lit the oil lamp, and walked in first.

The long steps were instantly illuminated. Jiang Li knew that at this moment, there was only one way to go. She even regretted arguing with Qi Ning just now. After stepping down the steps step by step, Jiang Li found that the design of the steps was very good. Neither long nor short.

Even though Jiang Li had injuries all over her body, it didn't hurt very much from walking down. The tunnel was very empty, far from being as narrow as it looked on the ground.

And the flower held in Jiang Li's hand seemed to glow blue under the darkness and candlelight: "Look, how can this flower still shine?" The old man was not shocked when he heard her words , but kept walking forward holding the lamp: "This tunnel is already dark, and any light may be captured carefully. Maybe she can also shine in the sun, but you can't see it."

Jiang Li nodded, actually believed the old man's words, seeing that the distance between himself and the old man was about to widen, Jiang Li hurriedly endured the pain in his body and walked a few steps to follow. Turning left and right following the old man, I was a little dizzy, and I couldn't bear the injuries on my body anymore. Just about to sit down and rest on the spot, I saw a dark red door in front of me.

"Is this the exit?" Jiang Li exclaimed in surprise, who would have thought that when he came, it would be such a dilapidated small door, and the place where the exit was designed was very mysterious.

The old man nodded. After walking for so long, he was also a little tired. He staggered forward and opened the heavy door. Jiang Li quickly handed the flowers to one hand, while the other hand went to help the old man open the door. , It's a pity that the door is too heavy, and it seems that no one has opened it for many years. It took a lot of effort for two people to open the door together.

The moment the door was opened, dust was flying all over the sky. Jiang Li coughed violently while protecting Hua, causing pain all over her body. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she ran out of the tunnel under the leadership of the old man.

"How about it, can you bear the pain? You can't eat anything today, and you can't take any medicine. You can only wait for the girl to bring back the antidote. If it really hurts, you must tell me." The wrinkles on the old man's face were all gathered together, and his eyebrows were tightly furrowed. If he had known that there would be so much dust, he should have let her stay aside.

Jiang Li saw the worry on the old man's vicissitudes face, and quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears: "No problem, no problem, I can bear this pain. But where are we now?"

Jiang Li asked and looked around, only to see that she was in a very dilapidated temple.Even the god statues placed above have become mottled, and their faces cannot be seen, and the tributes placed in front of the gods have long since disappeared, and the desks have been covered with a thick layer of spider webs and covered with a layer of dust. .

"It really is a ruined temple, but why is there no smell in this temple? Instead, there is a very familiar herbal smell." People always become more vigilant when they are in unfamiliar places, and Jiang Li sensed something was wrong. After that, ask questions immediately.

The old man was out of breath and found a corner to sit down, and when he recovered, he said: "I don't even look at what this place is, at the foot of the medicine mountain, can there be no medicine fragrance? Come and see, these places where I sit There is no ashes, in fact, from time to time, some healers will rest here after picking herbs... You can look around, but don't go too far, we are here today to wait for that girl to come back after picking your antidote .” After the old man explained this sentence, he didn’t speak any more, but closed his eyes to rest.

Jiang Li immediately got up and looked around. Although the temple was broken, it was very big, and it was divided into two side halls. The place where they came out just now was right behind the statue. This dilapidated temple has existed for decades. It is neither long nor short. After being exposed to wind and sun day by day, it can still stand still.

I am afraid it is also a temple with a story.

Jiang Li began to think wildly at this moment, and walked around a few thick pillars a few times, and found that the murals painted on them seemed to tell a story, and the pictures on each pillar seemed to be coherent.

Jiang Li was bored at first, so she started to check the order of the pillars one by one, and then started from the beginning, to read the story, but the injury on her body couldn't help Jiang Li to walk so fast, so she started to move slowly, watching slowly, every picture None missed.
