Although Mu Mingtang didn't understand, he could probably guess that it was not a good thing when he heard such words as fighting poison with poison.

Mu Mingtang asked: "How to fight poison with poison?"

The little Taoist said: "It's simple to say. I have been eroded by Wu Yufei's smell for a long time, and suddenly I can smell the smell of the medicine. It is impossible to use external force to resist. I can only try to restrain it with my mind and wait many times. If you get used to it, you won’t be led away by the medicine."

"So you mean..."

"We found the medicine ourselves to cause him to get sick. Of course, the initial dose was very small, and after he could control it, gradually increase the ingredients, and finally burn the roots of Wuyufei completely. If he can get the medicine to induce Patience for an hour in a closed room, then this kind of drug is not enough for him to fear."

In order to prevent smallpox, people will deliberately let children touch the skin scabs dropped by the person who gave them smallpox. The scabs are attenuated. If the children can resist it, there is no need to worry about smallpox for the rest of their lives. If you can't resist...you can only resign.

The treatment plan proposed by the little Taoist is similar to the smallpox vaccination, and the mechanism is the same.

But after all, Mu Mingtang still frowned, "I understand the truth, but just in case..."

Xie Xuanchen held Mu Mingtang's hand and said, "Nothing is wrong. This method is fine, just do as he says."

When the young Taoist priest first proposed it, he was worried that Xie Xuanchen would not cooperate. After all, these princes and grandchildren were spoiled since childhood, and did not touch the water at their fingertips. Such a treatment plan for mental and physical torture, Xie Xuanchen may not be willing to suffer this pain. . Now that Xie Xuanchen cooperated, it couldn't be better.

The little Taoist said: "It's easier for you to talk more if you want. But the ugly thing is in the front. This method is very painful, and it will only get more and more painful. Although you have agreed now, you can't blame me when you feel uncomfortable later."

"No." Xie Xuanchen didn't explain much, just said, "Let's get started."

The little Taoist scratched his head and said, "This is just my guess. There is still a lot to prepare for the actual implementation. First of all, we need a quiet and sturdy house. Wu Yufei's effects are very evil, and your lethality is a little too big. For insurance, when you smell the drug, you must be locked in the house alone."

"it is good."

"Also during my treatment, I can't be disturbed. By the way, you pay for the medicine yourself."

This Taoist priest is really a fan of money, Xie Xuanchen didn't even think about it, but still responded, "Okay."

"Then there is only one problem left." The little Taoist said with some embarrassment, "Wu Yufei is only produced in southern Xinjiang. I have never seen it. It will take a while to purchase the medicine. So, at least wait for me. After buying Wuyufei, treatment can begin."

Mu Mingtang breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and said, "Okay, it's okay to take a while. Take advantage of this time, let him recover first."

Mu Mingtang was really frightened when he heard it. He wanted to deliberately induce Xie Xuanchen’s illness, let him hold it back for a lifetime, and be locked in a small room alone...Every word the little Taoist said made Mu Mingtang’s heart beat, she was just Listening, I was very worried. If it can relax for a period of time and let Xie Xuanchen recover a little bit before starting, it is naturally best.

Xie Xuanchen has always been quiet and quiet, but this time he raised an objection: "I have a drug quote."

"what?"

"I have medicine in my hand." Xie Xuanchen's eyes were cold, his lips were light, and his tone was as light as a smoke. "Don't wait, let's start today."

Hearing Xie Xuanchen's words, Mu Mingtang also slowly remembered that she had no intention of finding a fragrance ball in the cabinet before. On that day, although they deliberately put the aroma ball back in place, they scraped a lot of incense from the inside.

If this is really a medicinal guide, then the incense ash contains the medicinal properties of Wuyu flying root, but because it has been burned, the medicinal properties are naturally weakened. It is indeed a good choice that meets the requirements of the little Taoist priest.

Mu Mingtang wanted to say something but stopped, looking at Xie Xuanchen worriedly. Xie Xuanchen always followed her before, but this time he was determined.

The little Taoist priest didn’t know Mu Mingtang’s psychological activities. He raised his eyebrows happily and said, “It turns out that you have it. This is great! Anyway, the amount needed in the early stage is small. Use yours to deal with it first, and then you can increase the dose. At the time, I’m afraid I also bought Wuyufei. By the way, remember to quote me the money for the medicine."

The little Taoist said three words without leaving money, but Mu Mingtang is not even in the mood to pay attention to him now. Xie Xuanchen silently tightened Mu Mingtang's hand, put her hand on his knee, and signaled that she was okay.

Then Xie Xuanchen looked at the little Taoist priest and said, "You don't have to worry about money and venue. When can you start?"

"I still need two sets of medicine. Although you mainly rely on your own tolerance, you will need to take medicine before and after. About two days, when I have all the medicine, we can start."

Xie Xuanchen nodded and fixed the time in a few words: "Okay, at the end of the next day, Qingtang in Huxin Town."

The little Taoist knew that the two of them were in a special situation and could only start at night, so he agreed. After the negotiation, they don't need to worry about the rest, Xie Xuanchen took Mu Mingtang and got up and left.

The wind was rustling outside, and there was a slight moisture in the night wind, as if it was about to rain. The two walked side by side, all speechless. After a while, Xie Xuanchen asked, "I didn't pay attention before, where did Xuan Tie Lian go?"

Mu Mingtang was startled, and suddenly looked up at him: "What do you want to do?"

"I'm afraid that in case I can't control it and hurt you." Xie Xuanchen said, "It's best to lock my hand, anyway, you can open it, and it's fine."

Since Xie Xuanchen became sober, the emperor sent another person to the palace, and the heavy mysterious iron chain was nowhere to be seen. If it hadn't been for Xie Xuanchen, Mu Mingtang had forgotten about it.

She had never noticed where the Xuan Tie Chain went.

Mu Mingtang said: "It's probably in the warehouse. It takes a lot of trouble to move such heavy things out, and most of them are still in the palace." After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he hesitated a little: "But, this chain was originally right. Your shame, why are you..."

"I thought it was imprisonment and an insult." The night breeze was lingering, with the unique moist coolness before the rain, Xie Xuanchen's voice seemed to have also melted in the wind, shallow and light, "but now I am a little capable I understand what they did."

At the beginning, this was the shackle that his biological father put on him, and Xie Xuanchen had tried his best to break free. Now, Xie Xuanchen chose to pick up the shackles again and put his gloves back into his hands.

In himself, he is willing to try even if he has a tenth chance. But if it was Mu Mingtang, he wouldn't dare to let her take a risk even one out of 10,000.

In case he really loses control, somehow, there is a mysterious chain blocking him.

"No." Mu Mingtang held Xie Xuanchen's hand tightly and said, "I believe you won't. I will accompany you the day after tomorrow, and I will always guard you."

"No." Xie Xuanchen vetoed, "It's too dangerous, you sleep in the house with peace of mind."

"No." Mu Mingtang was also very determined, looking at him firmly, "If you don't let me follow, I will sneak out, maybe it's more dangerous. Anyway, where are you, where am I."

Xie Xuanchen twisted his eyebrows, and he knew rationally that he should stop her. If Xie Xuanchen wanted to, he had a way to make Mu Mingtang stay in Yulintang all night and not leave. But emotionally, he was shamelessly unwilling.

Xie Xuanchen struggled for a long time, and finally turned his head back, without saying a word, just firmly holding Mu Mingtang's hand.

This is his only weakness and the courage to keep him going. As long as she has her, he can endure whether it is the chains that once brought him infinite humiliation or the double torture of the slow knife cut meat proposed by the little Taoist priest.

Later that day, when Mu Mingtang accompanied Xie Xuanchen to Zhenqingtang, the little Taoist cautiously added a handful of incense ash, mixed it with wormwood and lit it, and then locked the door from outside. In fact, this door is nothing but the mysterious iron chain inside, which can't play any role.

If Xie Xuanchen can restrain the drug lead, neither the door nor the lock is necessary; if Xie Xuanchen can't control it, no amount of locks outside will stop him.

What they really rely on is actually the source of the danger. They were all betting on Xie Xuanchen's willpower.

The little Taoist priest and Mu Mingtang waited outside the door, and the night breeze carried the water vapor on the lake, and it was cold on people. The little Taoist shivered involuntarily, and clasped his arms tightly and yawned: "It's cold, cold and sleepy."

After speaking, the little Taoist looked at Mu Mingtang strangely: "Aren't you cold?"

Mu Mingtang shook his head, staring at Xiang almost motionless. The little Taoist followed her gaze and said, "A stick of incense is still far away. The wind is too strong here. We are waiting here and waiting. Why don't we sit in the attic for a while?"

Mu Mingtang shook his head and said softly: "No. The path leader feels cold, so let's go and rest for a while."

The little Taoist hesitated: "It's cold and dark here, if you are the only one left, you..."

"I'm not afraid of darkness." Mu Mingtang smiled at the little Taoist priest, and said, "Thank you Xiaodao Master for his kindness, I am not afraid. Today, I have worked hard for the Taoist Master, so please go and rest for a while. Although Zhenqingtang hasn't No matter how you have used it, but the soft cushions inside are all new. If the Taoist wants anything, you are welcome."

The little Taoist will be suspicious: "Then I really left?"

Mu Mingtang nodded and smiled. Since Mu Mingtang insisted, the little Taoist priest stopped persuading him and went into the side hall to get warm. The little Taoist went upstairs, smeared and lit the lamp. When he fumbled just now, he felt that the furnishings here were very expensive, but after lighting up, he found that it was really expensive.

The terraces are exquisite, beautifully stacked, and calligraphy and painting screens hung everywhere. The little Taoist touched the incense burner and found that it was made of real gold. He sighed: "I thought it was gilded, but it turned out to be pure gold. These paintings and calligraphy are also hand-painted by famous artists. They hang like no money in their house. What about their palace? So rich?"

The little Taoist fumbled around for a while, and finally sat down in a chair comfortably. He was not polite to eat the cakes on the table. Anyway, if he doesn't eat it, it will fall all tomorrow.

The little Taoist enjoyed a while with a vengeful attitude, and finally remembered that he was still a healer. He thought of Mu Mingtang who was staying downstairs. She was a woman after all. Is it really okay to stay alone in the dark outdoors?

Zhenqingtang is an attic hall built in the center of the lake. It is naturally quiet and quiet to have a banquet here during the day, but it is a bit scary to appear in such a place late at night. Looking around, there was black bottomless water all around, and from time to time there was a whine of wind in the woods on the shore. The little Taoist priest was used to walking on the mountain road.

The conscience of the little Taoist finally overwhelmed his hatred of the rich. He walked to the window holding the cake, wanting to call Mu Mingtang to come up and sit down. The little Taoist opened the window and found that Mu Mingtang was no longer there.

She was standing under the window, facing the room, and the cold moonlight shone on her, as if a layer of frost had fallen on her shoulders.

The little Taoist suddenly became quiet. He remembered that Xie Xuanchen locked himself in a similar position, and through the moonlight, he could see Xie Xuanchen's figure.

Mu Mingtang was motionless, and there was no movement in the room, but the two of them knew inexplicably that the other was just across a window. The little Taoist watched for a while and silently closed the window.

The little Taoist basically ate himself half-full. He calculated that the time was almost up, so he put two pieces of pastry in his sleeve and went downstairs slowly.

Downstairs, the scent of time counting is about to burn to the end.

The sparks flashed brightly, and then never seen again. Mu Mingtang ran to the door almost at the same time and took out the key to unlock. Mu Mingtang wanted to stay in the house just now, but Xie Xuanchen resolutely disagreed and let her lock her outside the house. If Mu Mingtang refused, he would lock himself in the house.

Where can Mu Mingtang rest assured, if she locks it from the inside, if something happens, she can't get in. She could only close the door and lock it from the outside according to Xie Xuanchen's request. Now that the time was up, Mu Mingtang immediately ran in to see Xie Xuanchen's condition.

Xie Xuanchen looked very tired, his face was pale and his eyes were red. Mu Mingtang had a sore nose when he saw it, but Xie Xuanchen shook his head and said hoarsely: "I'm fine."

He said that he wanted to stand up, but just as he moved, he suddenly dizzy, the mysterious iron chain connected to the heavy object behind, making a loud bang.

Mu Mingtang hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and helped him sit back in his seat slowly: "Don't worry, take your time."

After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he quickly turned around to find the little Taoist: "Little Taoist, how about you come and see him?"

The little Taoist sniffed at the door, and saw that the smell of wormwood was almost gone, then walked in slowly. He pulsed Xie Xuanchen and said, "The first time is successful. I will leave two medicines for a while, once a day at noon and night, and after drinking it for five days, I will prepare for the second treatment."

Xie Xuanchen didn't even have the energy to speak, just nodded. After Mu Mingtang asked about some dietary taboos, he solemnly thanked the little Taoist priest and sent the little Taoist out.

Mu Mingtang wanted to stay here and wait for Xie Xuanchen. The little Taoist knew that staying would be an eye-catcher, so he might as well go back to bed early, so he said goodbye. After the little Taoist priest left, Mu Mingtang sat next to Xie Xuanchen and felt his cold fingers, distressed: "Is it uncomfortable?"

There was no blood on Xie Xuanchen's lips, but he shook his head: "It's okay."

Xie Xuanchen said it was okay, but that was really uncomfortable. Fighting with poison sounds simple, but only the person involved can understand the pain.

Mu Mingtang felt uncomfortable in her heart, she did not tell Xie Xuanchen, but silently opened the chain on his hand.

After the lock was opened, Mu Mingtang wanted to hug himself to the ground, but was forcibly snatched away by Xie Xuanchen. This lock is really heavy. Mu Mingtang remembered something and asked, "How did you get them out? Did the people in the warehouse doubt it?"

Xie Xuanchen didn't say much, but said vaguely: "They didn't notice."

Wouldn't you notice something so conspicuous? Mu Mingtang expressed suspicion, but Xie Xuanchen said so, Mu Mingtang didn't ask, it was really just accidental.

After Xie Xuanchen's headache passed, the two of them returned to Yulintang. When I went back, it was the same as when I came, and did not disturb the maid.

Perhaps, it may not be without alarm.

They leave once or twice, and the maid may not find out yet, but they are not in the house for so long, does the maid who watch the night really know nothing?

Mu Mingtang didn't think any further, Xie Xuanchen didn't say, so she didn't ask. The composition of the personnel in the palace is very complicated now, and Mu Mingtang can't tell how many people belong to the emperor, how many people belong to Xie Xuanchen, how many pretend to be deaf and dumb, and how many secretly cast into Xie Xuanchen.

After several treatments like this, Mu Mingtang didn't know if it worked, but Xie Xuanchen's expression gradually calmed down and he was no longer as sensitive and sharp as before. In this way, no matter whether it is actually effective or not, it is a worthwhile trip to cure Xie Xuanchen's heart disease.

In the blink of an eye, March entered, the vegetation recovered, the flowers bloomed, and the activities in the capital became more frequent. On the fifth day of the fifth day, Mrs. Zhu personally wrote a post, inviting Mu Mingtang to go to the Daxiangji Temple to offer incense.
