plum bossom
The people from Baicaotang went back that night. No one stayed at Jiang Lianhuan's house, not even Hua Rongyue stayed. They couldn't show themselves too conspicuously at this moment.
Besides, Li Jingyi was thrown into Baicaotang, and Hua Rongyue and the others had no reason to stay here.
Shi Chong, on the other hand, stayed here at night, thinking about what Hua Rongyue said to him when he left during the day. Is it more dangerous here...?
He suddenly remembered the man in the black hat who shouldn't have appeared, his amazing strength, and he didn't know where he was hiding now.
Such a dangerous person would indeed be impossible to find if he was hiding in a place like this. Shi Chong always felt a vague uneasiness in his heart.
...Forget it, even if he worries again, I'm afraid it won't affect anything.
Shi Chong looked at the bright moonlight and fell asleep again.
Hua Rongyue was busy with Huo Zhuang's second party in the middle of the night.
"Do all these people need to distribute invitations to come?" Hua Rongyue nodded, "How did your invitations arrive in the past?"
"Just knock on doors door to door." The person below said to her, "Each of our guests will be recorded, and then during the night, we will send invitations one by one."
As the man spoke, he handed a stack of papers to Hua Rongyue.
What does the invitation look like... Hua Rongyue took it and took a look at it, and suddenly frowned.
Who would have thought that this invitation letter actually looked like prescriptions, and the words on the prescriptions were also different.
"Those who are crazy are all crazy in their hearts, with endless sexual evil and poison in their flesh and bones. It is advisable to use self-prevention and myrrh at the beginning. If it does not heal later, you can live alone."
Defend yourself, myrrh... Add a solo worker?
What kind of magical prescription is this? Xitian Shengji Le Pill?
Hua Rongyue thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
She always felt that the names behind these herbs did not just refer to the herbs, but to the meanings represented by the herbs themselves.
"You just sent it here so carelessly, aren't you afraid that people will sue you to the government?" Hua Rongyue felt that these people were a little too courageous.
"Generally speaking, no." The man said to Hua Rongyue respectfully, "They are usually afraid of us. Besides, if we don't exist, they will go crazy faster, so most people are not willing to take this risk.
.”
Oh... In other words, human nature is selfish. In order to prevent oneself from going crazy casually, no one dares to tell the truth? Hua Rongyue thought.
"And newcomers are usually brought here by the elderly. Generally, one invitation letter can bring one person here." The man continued, "This can also ensure safety."
"Has it always been like this?" Hua Rongyue asked.
The man opened and closed his mouth a few times and said, "Except for the last time."
Oh, last time... Hua Rongyue thought silently, last time she didn't follow the routine and just led a bunch of people to kill them. The invitation letter was useless. They probably originally planned to kill everyone who didn't have an invitation letter.
They were all made to sleep to death in Huozhuang.
It seemed like a slap in the face to bring up old things so openly in front of others. Hua Rongyue coughed lightly and skipped the topic.
"It always feels like there will be more people coming this time..." Hua Rongyue thought silently, one thing is that with so many Jianghu people coming this time, there is no chance that there will be a few lunatics among them.
In a new place, it is not impossible to worship the local snakes.
"If nothing happens, we will send someone over to hand out invitations." As the man spoke, he held the invitation and winked at the group of people in white standing behind him.
Those people were about to receive an invitation letter one by one when they suddenly saw Hua Rongyue reaching out her hand to stop them.
"No need." Hua Rongyue said, "This time... I will do it myself."
She accepted the dozens of invitations and looked at the way the prescriptions were written. She felt that the first person who came up with such writing was a wonderful person. It was indeed quite interesting to do so.
"Who was the first person to think of writing like this? Is he still here now?" Hua Rongyue asked casually. After hearing what Hua Rongyue said, the man replied in a daze,
"It seems like he's not here anymore."
"Huh?" Hua Rongyue raised her head and took a look.
"It is said that this house was first brought over by an old Taoist, and then he brought over several prescriptions one after another." The man said, "But we haven't seen this man for several years. We all thought he was dead, or maybe
Doesn't exist, after all, even I have never seen this person."
Hua Rongyue sat there with an inexplicable chill down her spine.
She seemed to have heard someone mention that old man.
But for this old Taoist, she always thought that he was just a person randomly sent out by Huozhuang. As long as he was a person, he could become an old Taoist by changing his clothes. But now it doesn't seem to be the case. This recipe was not first spread from Huozhuang.
of.
This made Hua Rongyue inexplicably feel like a mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind.
However, this feeling is ultimately unfounded.
So she finally put on a Huozhuang-style white dress, put on a veil and went out.
The moonlight is hazy and the night is dark and windy.
"Today...are we coming too?" In a house, two people tossed and turned. They both felt inexplicable fear, because the last time they went to Huozhuang, they were all people who escaped from the house.
No one knows what happened to Huo Zhuang at the end of the night, or what happened to the man in the hat.
However, since that day, Huozhuang has been calm, and no news has been reported. People thought that that night was just an anomaly that happened occasionally and had no impact on Huozhuang.
It wasn't until the story of the man in the black hat came out inexplicably recently that they started tossing and turning again and began to guess what was going on.
"There has been no movement for a long time. Could it be that he is not coming tonight?" After a while, the two people in the room guessed.
"I'll go out and take a look."
After the man went out, the moonlight outside fell on the ground. If someone told them to go there, there should be someone knocking on the door now.
But not this time.
When the man wanted to enter the house, he suddenly saw a prescription stuck on a plum blossom branch on the door panel and nailed into the wood.
The plum blossom branch is still fresh, it has just been broken off, the branch is still soft, and the bud on it has not yet opened.
It just plunged into the door panel silently.
If it were a dart, or something hard, even a blade as thin as a cicada's wings, it probably wouldn't be so shocking.
It just happened to be a heavy, soft, and fragile plum blossom branch, like a silent invitation, nailed to the door.
Another person in the house saw that there was no movement from the people outside the house for a long time, and quickly followed him out to take a look. When he saw what was on the door, he was just as stunned as him.
The next day, all the people in the nearby arena were excited.
"Now it's confirmed that among those crazy people there must be some with big mouths, or people with pretty good reputations..." Hua Rongyue rubbed her eyes, "Well, it's good to have a big mouth."
"Have you ever heard of someone using plum blossoms as a hidden weapon?" Hua Rongyue heard someone saying when she walked through the streets.
She ordered a bag of sesame seed cakes, took the newly bought rice wine, and went back very calmly, not caring about the whispers of the people behind her.
"Do you know how old the plum picker is? He is exactly 18 years old. Just an 18-year-old young hero has such profound martial arts." The storyteller opposite had a temporary change of script today, and a circle formed outside.
people.
Hua Rongyue saw that Xiao Han was also listening there, and seemed to have dragged Li Jingyi over. Doctor Qi said: "You said this person is quite interesting. There is no good thing to use, but plum blossoms."
"Because plum blossom branches are relatively soft, they are more suitable for intimidating others." Hua Rongyue said while eating sesame seed cakes: "That thing is not suitable for use as a concealed weapon in the first place. It is purely used to show the skill of the plum blossom thrower."
She didn't feel guilty at all when she said this, and even used a broadcast tone.
"Can you throw it?" Doctor Qi was eager to try, "You have been in the world before, right? Can you also show your skills?"
"Can he use plum blossoms? It would be good if the money dart master understood it." Xiao Han said, "That plum blossom thing... let alone him, someone who has practiced darts for thirty years may not be able to throw it on a wooden board, even if it is thrown
If you want to practice until you are silent, you will have to practice for another thirty years."
Hearing the "eighteen years old" mentioned by the storyteller, he sneered, "Eighteen years old... Sixty-eight is pretty good."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Qi, who was originally eager to break off branches from the tree at the door, stopped and sat back with some disappointment.
In fact, this is the truth, but the plum blossom dart itself is more romantic with a chivalrous character. People naturally wonder if the person throwing this dart is a young handsome guy, which is more suitable for a romantic partner... Hua Rongyue thought.
But Yi Linglong's age... doesn't seem to be that big.
Li Jingyi listened very seriously. Of course, this child always had a serious face no matter what he did. But to her, this kind of story was not something that happened every day. It was more like a fantasy.
Hua Rongyue looked at her for a while, then reached out and rubbed her head.
While eating sesame seed cakes, she thought about how dumbfounded Liumenmen would be when they received the news today. It looked like they would be very busy soon, and they might have to go to Jiang Lianhuan's place.
Sure enough, the news arrived immediately. Hua Rongyue picked up the sesame cakes and went out immediately.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Jiang Lianhuan with two huge dark circles under his eyes, hesitant to speak to her and hesitant to speak.
After a long time, he finally said, "Why don't you go and ask what the old man wants to do?"
Hua Rongyue was stunned, "Who is this?"
