Just like that, a farce involving human lives came to an end.
Nan Rui had sent a few men to watch over them, but in fact, they were there to keep an eye on them.
The onlooking disciples gradually dispersed. Since Qian Yuming was not around, Du Zhong's body was left on the ground.
Instead, it became the least important decoration.
Moreover, the series of disturbances caused by his death seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Lin Mengya turned around to take a look, not because she pitied him. She just felt that if he knew that his death was merely a chess piece in his master's hands, would he regret it?
It was not a good feeling to be watched, but because of Long Tianyu's presence, these people had to be polite to them.
They had wanted to follow them in, but because of Long Tianyu's gaze, all of them had a strange feeling and stood guard outside the door.
Yu An had wanted to make trouble for them, but Lin Mengya stopped him.
"There's nothing to be concerned about. After all, with Long Tianyu around, no one would dare to barge in. They're just watchdogs. Why do you have to be angry at them? "
Of course, Lin Mengya knew that Long Tianyu, the devil, was now well-known in the Pavilion of Herbs.
Yu An, on the other hand, felt that it was his momentary negligence that gave Du Zhong the opportunity. He felt a little apologetic.
At that moment, Lin Mengya and the other two were detained as suspects. For this reason, Yu An always wanted to do something to make it up to them.
Looking at the dejected look on his face, Lin Mengya whispered something into his ear.
"Yes, I'll do it now!"
Looking at Yu An's back as he left, Lin Mengya's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
Sure enough, it did not take long for Yu An to start quarreling with the people outside.
"Is Yu An alright? Will he be at a disadvantage? "
Zuo Qiuyu, who was sitting in the reception room, asked anxiously.
Lin Mengya shook her head. Yu An was a shrewd man. If he could not even settle this matter, he would have been working for Zuo Qiuchen for so long in vain.
"It's alright. I just asked him to bring some things back. By the way, other than the key, is there anything else in the box? "
Although Lin Mengya had only taken a few glances at the box, she could see that there was a note in addition to a key.
When Zuo Qiuyu heard this, he immediately patted his head and took out a small paper package from his bosom.
Zuo Qiuyu opened it carefully in front of the other two people.
Unexpectedly, the paper bag, which was not even the size of a thumb, could be opened to the size of two hands.
However, the paper was as thin as a cicada's wing. In the end, Zuo Qiuyu had no choice but to place it on the table. His three heads leaned forward to read the contents of the paper curiously.
It was an extremely simple outline of lines. It was neither a map nor words.
The heads of the three of them were filled with question marks.
What exactly was this thing?
"This looks like a map, right?"
Zuo Qiuyu asked in confusion. However, apart from a few simple lines, there was nothing else on it.
There wasn't even a specific label. It was more like someone had casually scribbled a few lines.
"Long Tianhao, what do you think?"
Among the three of them, Long Tianhao was the one who had the most knowledge about maps.
After all, he had led troops and fought in wars.
Long Tianhao looked at it attentively and finally shook his head at Lin Mengya. Since he said it was not a map, then it must not be a map.
However, to be on the safe side, Lin Mengya scanned it into her Shen Nung system.
Anyway, it had unlimited capacity. If there was any use for it, it would be a double insurance, right?
The three of them looked at it again and again and almost made a hole in the paper.
But in the end, they found nothing.
Lin Mengya thought for a moment and turned the paper over.
At that moment, the sunlight shone in through the window. When it was reflected on the paper, Lin Mengya had a flash of inspiration.
She picked it up gently and looked at the sunlight. To her surprise, a line of words that she had not seen before appeared on the paper!
"Get the box with an abstruse secret and become the master of the Pavilion of Herbs. Remember not to violate the rules of the Pavilion! Rong Hua. "
Rong Hua? Lin Mengya felt that this name was very familiar.
She thought about it again and knocked on her head. Wasn't this Rong Hua the name printed on the first page of the music score for the green stringed instrument?
Lin Mengya turned around and was about to ask who Rong Hua was when she saw Zuo Qiuyu looking excited.
"This … this is the name of the first Chief Elder of the Pavilion of Herbs! So, so it really exists! "
The first Chief Elder? Lin Mengya recalled instantly. Could it be that the music score for the green stringed instrument, an ancient book, was written by the first Chief Elder of the Pavilion of Herbs?
However, Lin Mengya felt that it was unlikely.
Apart from Rong Hua, there were many other names mentioned in the book. Perhaps it was Chief Elder Rong Hua who suggested it first. Later on, people continued to perfect it and finally, this extraordinary book came into being.
However, why did the music score for the green stringed instrument not mention that the person who found the box with an abstruse secret would inherit the Pavilion of Herbs?
"That's great! With this, we won't have to worry about what tricks they will play! "
Zuo Qiuyu looked very excited as if he had obtained a treasure. He looked at the paper in his hand and treasured it more than the imperial edict.
"I don't think it's that simple."
In contrast to Zuo Qiuyu's excitement, Lin Mengya felt that even if this was left behind by the first Chief Elder, those people might not obey it.
Think about it, although the Pavilion of Herbs was founded by Rong Hua, it was something that happened hundreds of years ago.
People nowadays did not even abide by the commandments set by him. How could they easily acknowledge Zuo Qiuyu's position just because of a note from him?
It was better to keep it. Perhaps in the future, it would have an unexpected effect.
After the excitement subsided, Zuo Qiuyu could not help but put away the paper with a wry smile.
He was not a fool. Naturally, he knew that this thing was just a blank piece of paper.
"I think you'd better hide it well, lest any accidents happen in the future."
Lin Mengya pulled Long Tianyu back to the room where they were staying.
It would be safer for Zuo Qiuyu to be the only one who knew about it.
The moment they entered the room, Lin Mengya pressed Long Tianyu down on the chair and felt his pulse with her left hand.
He focused his mind and quietly felt the pulse. After a long while, he faintly sighed.
"Why were you so silly? Did you know that the poison almost spread when you used your essential Qi?"
Lin Mengya looked at Long Tianyu reproachfully. Of course, Lin Mengya knew that Long Tianyu could not bear to see her suffer any grievances.
However, in the Nation of Lintian, even if they wanted to lay a finger on her, they would have to weigh their own weight first.
As long as Zuo Qiuchen sat on the throne, there was no need to worry about her safety.
This fool was always so impulsive.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
At this moment, there was a gentle smile on her cold face.
Long Tianyu gave Lin Mengya no chance to say anything and pulled her into his arms. However, his tightly pursed lips revealed the discomfort he was feeling at this moment.
The poison of the Immortal Powder was indeed potent. Although he had taken the medicine concocted by Lin Mengya and Zuo Qiuyu, he had suppressed it for a long time. He had already suppressed it for a long time, but he did not expect that after he used his true energy, his body would actually have this kind of bone-deep desire.
Lin Mengya sighed and immediately found some medicine for him to take.
With Long Tianyu's strong self-control, he finally suppressed the desire.
When everything calmed down, Long Tianyu's face was covered with cold sweat.
Lin Mengya could only wipe his sweat with a handkerchief.
Looking at Lin Mengya's concerned face, Long Tianyu smiled gently. He had made her worry again.
"This thing is more difficult to deal with than I had imagined."
Long Tianyu had never been afraid of anything since he was born.
However, the Immortal Powder had almost caused his self-control to crumble.
No one in the world would be able to escape from such a terrifying thing.
Sometimes, Long Tianyu even wondered if he would be controlled by this thing for the rest of his life.
"But you did even better than I had imagined. Although this thing is terrible, you're more powerful than it. You did a great job. You're indeed my husband. "
Lin Mengya smiled sweetly and her eyes were full of praise for him.
Her words sounded like she was coaxing a child. Long Tianyu could not help laughing. However, he felt a sense of pride rising in his heart.
The corners of his lips, which had been tortured, involuntarily curved into a happy smile.
This girl's words were more effective than any miraculous elixir.
"Oh yes, go to the guest room and look for Zuo Qiuyu. Ask him to take a look at you to see if there's anything serious. I'll go and look for you in a while. "
She coaxed him softly and Long Tianyu had no choice but to listen to her.
Watching him walk step by step into the guest room, the smile on Lin Mengya's face gradually disappeared.
She turned back to the inner room and secretly took out a bottle of medicine.
Looking at the small green jade bottle, Lin Mengya could not help licking her lips.
She smiled bitterly. She knew that Long Tianyu did not want her to suffer any more. Therefore, he wanted to destroy the medicine in secret.
However, Lin Mengya, who had seen through his plan, had hidden it.
She had only used her essential Qi slightly, but she could not suppress it. Long Tianyu seemed to be getting better day by day, but in fact, he was like a paper lantern.
Without any hesitation, Lin Mengya swallowed the pill. She used all her strength to hide the bottle beside her pillow.
In the next second, a suffocating pain surged up from her right arm.
"Puff!" Lin Mengya did not know why, but she spat out a mouthful of blood.
