Qingchuan History

Chapter 508 Ten Years
The term ten years of work for a girl is really weird and sends chills down the spine.

Everyone listened intently for fear of missing even a half-tonal particle, Ruan Xueyin also pricked her ears, and suddenly began to recall the teacher's words about the garden in the early morning at the south house of Pengxi Mountain in the late spring:

For a total of nearly 13 years, every day is the same, only the flowers and trees are always new, and the few of them stay together day and night;

Thinking that such years are the beginning and the end, but in the tenth year, I found out that it is not;

Some of them did not sharpen their swords for ten years for the purpose of medicinal flowers and trees, and the No. 13 years saw the sharp blade unsheathed, and the ending was not good.

A story of quiet years but changes at the end of a long road.

It's not the same story as Ruan Bi's version, which is sinister from the start.

Moreover, the victim and the perpetrator are clearly two parties in the two statements.So this is a wrestling where both sides hold their swords without letting the other see, waiting until the last moment and who can strike faster?
Apparently Jing Ting Ge is also turning back to Pengxi Mountain in late spring.Her memory was not as good as Ruan Xueyin's, but she listened carefully that round, although she couldn't trace back to the original words, she didn't lose the meaning.

She laid out all the details in her mind, and then looked at Ruan Xueyin.The two exchanged glances, both ready to compare stories.

Ruan Yu didn't continue to speak.He squinted his eyes and looked around the whole circle, from the people at the banquet to the kabuki with silk and bamboo orchestras, one by one condensed their faces, passed by, and finally stopped on the girl and the madam nearby.

The girl stared straight ahead with a wooden face, her expression fully visible.

The madam was trembling and still lying on the ground, unable to see her face.

"Ask this mother to come to me." He said in a rough voice.

The bustard trembled, not daring to delay, she knelt and crawled in front of Ruan Bi.

"look up."

The bustard stood up straight, fighting with her upper and lower teeth, but finally did not dare to raise her eyes, Nuonuo said: "Caomin dare not."

Ruan Bi suddenly stretched out his left hand to lift her face, and at the same time pinched the bawdy's cheek with his right hand and pulled violently.

"Ouch—" the woman screamed in pain, and immediately reacted disrespectfully, and barely stopped breathing, but it must have been too painful to stop, sobbing and whimpering.

"What is Shengjun doing?" Gu Xinglang frowned, and because he was still standing with his hands behind his back, his voice resounded through the hall.

Ruan Bi let go of the madam, probably out of strength, and gasped on her back, "I don't believe she's not in this room at the moment. Let's start telling the story. The Eastern Palace Medicine Garden, which has been hidden for more than thirty years, will be revealed to the world. If you are still alive and want to seek revenge, if you don't show up now, when will you wait!"

"If I were a holy king, I would find those people who have not spoken from the beginning to the end to pick their faces." Ruan Xueyin was still standing, her voice was light, "It's easy, but the voice is hard to change. If this madam is different, she would have been caught by the whole room The girl noticed."

The white-haired old man was in such a state of embarrassment, but his son and daughter were far away from each other, talking and watching.If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would be hard for everyone to believe that the relationship between father and daughter has become so indifferent.

"You don't know what they are capable of." Ruan Bi smiled darkly, "What is Yi Rong? In the end, these four people even have similar voices. You can't tell who is who without looking at their faces."

"The old man didn't show up, of course it's because he hasn't heard anything important yet." Jing Tingge sat on the east side, opposite Ruan Xueyin, "Sage Jun started to arrest the girl after ten years of meritorious deeds, which means it's interesting, let's go on , You can’t say a word, and you’ve offended the other party. Everyone’s here, so you’re afraid you won’t be able to see him.”

Ruan Bi turned back halfway to look at her when she heard the words, "Your surname is Jing. When I first heard about it, I should have thought a little bit more. I was careless. There are not so many coincidences in the world."

He didn't wait for the other party's response, turned around and half propped himself up to look at the patterns in the huge algae well above his head, "The so-called ten-year skill of a girl is based on the four seasons. Spring requires stamens, summer requires leaves, autumn requires fruits, and winter requires deep sleep."

Deep Sleep is asymmetrical to the first three.The whole sentence is like a code word.As far as the medicine garden is concerned, stamens, leaves, and fruits are all obtained naturally, so what do they have to do with girls?
"We need four people. Because it's a secret to enter the palace and can no longer communicate with the outside world, we can only find homeless orphans, and they must be good-looking and intelligent, otherwise it will not be effective."

"Such an absurd prescription, the Holy King would not believe it." Jing Tingge sneered.

"When one stands on a high place for a long time, one hears a lot of rare and weird things in the world. I am not afraid of absurdity, but I am afraid that it is not absurd. The more bizarre the theory is, the more I want to try it. Just try it. The royal family of a country, under the crown prince, can afford it .”

wrong.Ruan Xueyin thought.As Ruan Bi acts as a person, he will not open up land and build a medicine garden just to try out a prescription to please his father, financial resources, manpower, suspicion and the public opinion of the whole country and even the entire continent——

If there is no equivalent return, at least a guaranteed return of more than [-]% in the long run, he will not spend a lot of time on it.

"I searched all over Qingchuan, and I got these four. I found nothing abnormal in the three generations. It is true that there is no father, no mother, and no relatives. They were brought into the palace one after another. They were only eleven or twelve years old when they entered the East Palace."

"Cheng Chudi, Wen Qi, Su Luojin, what's the name of the other one?" Ruan Xueyin said softly.

Ruan Bi's expression became weird, "Cheng Chudi? Who told you her surname is Cheng? Chu Di, Wen Qi, Su Luojin, Jing Yanyi."

The other party probably didn't understand which "Cheng" it was.But Ruan Xueyin didn't have time to think about it, and suddenly looked at Jing Tingge.

Everyone looked at Jing Tingge, and Jing Tingge stared at Ruan Bi's back.

Ruan Bi didn't feel the thorn in his back.He calmly looked back at the algae well in the sky, admiring the patterns was like gossip in the afternoon:

"When I came in, I asked three questions. I didn't know how to pick flowers and weeds, let alone medical skills and pharmacology. I can only teach them from scratch. Fortunately, they are all smart. It is not in vain to visit the whole continent and be more picky than the king's choice of concubines. They They are quick to learn, and each has their own strengths. It only took three years to become proficient in the whole process from planting flowers and plants to grinding pharmaceuticals. Since then, they have been on their own, cultivating hundreds of rare flower and plant medicines one after another, until the Donggong Medicine Garden was burnt down. .”

"The Holy Monarch just said ten years of work. So it will be seven years until the medicine garden is burned down?" Ruan Xueyin asked again.

The teacher said 13 years.

"Ten years." Ruan Bi replied.

match.

"Three years plus ten years, a total of 13 years." Of course Jing Tingge knew why Ruan Xueyin confirmed the number of years, so he followed up without any mistakes. What the hell did you do with the stamens and leaves? No way, they want the pistils of the tenth spring, the leaves of the tenth summer, the fruits of the tenth autumn, and the tenth winter."

She paused for a while, she didn't know what to think of, her expression suddenly froze, and she quietly asked:

"Buried alive?"

From deep sleep to burial alive, Jing Ting Song is also inexplicable.But these two words are justified by everyone present.

"Mr. Jing is smart, blue out of blue." Ruan Bi turned back, "Yan Yi is also the most talkative and quickest among them. I just don't understand, they are imprisoned in the medicine garden all year round. Who is your father?"

Jing Tingge froze for a moment, Ruan Xueyin said coldly:
"The sage just said to teach from the beginning, who taught?"

"Imperial doctors, folk masters, all the masters from Qingchuan that I can find have entered the palace to teach them."

"But no one knows the secrets of the Eastern Palace Medicine Garden, not even rumors. It seems that these people have never left the palace gate."

"It's because I didn't walk out of the gate of the East Palace Medicine Garden." Ruan Bi nodded, "It depends on the qualifications and skills. Everyone goes in and teaches each other for ten and a half months. When they leave, they kill them and put them into the soil to nourish the flowers and trees. The flesh and blood of the healer will be cultivated." The medicinal materials are also very useful.”

"Ten years of hard work have been devoted to trying a longevity elixir. The method is cruel and has killed countless people, but it has not succeeded in the end." Gu Xinglang looked at Ruan Bi's wrinkled face indifferently, "Ninety percent of what the sage said is true, and the rest Totally lied."
