Above the source of Tao

Looking at this evil pill, Yun Changan speculated in his heart that this matter might not be that simple and might be related to the Chu family.

"Did Miss Hanlan take this pill? What was the effect?" Yun Chang'an asked.

Han Lan looked at the pill with disdain. "This medicine smells a bit bad, so I didn't take it."

"If you want it, this one is for you."

"Your Highness, it's better not to take this pill." Yun Chang'an said to Han Lan, holding the pill in his hand.

Han Lan seemed to realize that this pill was not a good thing, and there was a slight stench on it. She said to Yun Changan, "I know, this pill looks unpalatable."

Yun Changan put the pill away.

An hour later, the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill.

Han Lan told Yun Chang'an and the others about her life experience.

She is Chu Jiangruan, the ninth child of the current king. His mother is the daughter of General Zhenbei Ren Tianchang, named Ren Xuanning. Because in the battle of Hualing, Ren Tianchang showed bravery, was not afraid of danger in the face of strong enemies, always led the charge, and captured Hualing Hou alive in that battle. He had outstanding military exploits and excellent performance, so he was named General Zhenbei and guarded the northern city.

In the 19th year of Jingheng, the remnants of the Marquis of Hualing in the north rebelled. He led an army of 100,000 to attack seven cities in the northern region. In just seven months, he wiped out all the northern rebels and incorporated the seven cities into the territory of the Chu Zhao Dynasty.

Therefore, he was appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of Zhenbei and has been guarding the north ever since.

Her mother married the current king in the ninth year of Jingheng. The following year, she gave birth to the fifth prince, who is also his eldest brother Chu Handong. Six years later, her mother gave birth to her.

Her brothers loved her very much since she was young, so she had been living a life of luxury and had never suffered any great hardship. She had always lived in the palace, where there was nothing fun to do, and she had long been tired of the food, so she sneaked out every day to try the food in the restaurants and hotels in the city. She had eaten all the food in the Chu King City, and could be said to know the situation in the city like the back of her hand.

A few days ago, because he really couldn't stay in the palace, he asked his eldest brother to let him go out and see the world.

It just so happened that Chu Handong had a batch of goods to exchange in Shouzhou City, so she asked her fifth brother to let her go by herself. After her repeated requests, he finally agreed.

On the way back, I met Yun Changan and Chu Xiaoxiao.

As for its fifth brother, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a businessman. Behind all the industries involved in the royal city, there is the shadow of Chu Handong. No one knows how much money he has now. I am afraid that even he himself does not know how much property he has in his hands. If you count it carefully, it is probably more than the treasury of the dynasty.

Just then there was a swarm of people outside and a lot of noise. The three people in the house were immediately attracted by the noise.

Walk towards the window and look down.

Outside Zuixian Tower.

A Taoist priest set up a stall there. He was the same man who sold elixirs in Xidoufang before.

Then he heard the man taking out dozens of jade bottles from the package, each jade bottle contained dozens of elixirs. Before he could set up his stall, the crowd around him flooded the place, and there was no way out. There were thousands of people gathered.

The Taoist priest didn't say much. In an instant, the crowd moved and scrambled to take out their banknotes, wanting to buy the elixir.

Soon, dozens of bottles of the elixir were sold out in an instant, and everyone in the city had one. It was no exaggeration to say that after these days of selling the elixir, probably everyone in the Chuwang City had eaten the elixir.

There was a familiar figure in the crowd.

"If these two elixirs are presented to the two knights in my family, they will also do their best to eliminate the evil things in their own homes."

The man was none other than the baker Sun, the owner of the pastry shop. He was holding the two elixirs in his hand, and was talking happily to himself.

Yun Chang'an and the other person on the Zuixian Tower looked at the crazy people downstairs and felt something was wrong. They thought that everyone in the city might have eaten the evil pill and no one knew what its effect was.

Seeing that the Taoist priest was about to leave, he hurriedly said to Han Lan, "We two suddenly have something to do. Thank you Miss Han Lan for your hospitality today. We will leave first."

Without waiting for Chu Hanlan to reply, he left Zuixianlou.

"and many more..."

Chu Hanlan wanted to say something. She wanted to ask where they lived now and where she could find them. But before she could finish her words, the figures of Yun Changan and the other man had already disappeared from her sight and were nowhere to be found.

The two people who went downstairs concealed their figures and breath and followed the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest walked in an alley after twists and turns. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. He tore off the mask on his face, changed into new clothes, and walked out of the alley.

Soon, he arrived at the east of the city, talked with the soldiers guarding the city for a few words, and walked towards the city gate.

Yun Chang'an and the other two followed closely behind and went out of the city gate.

Two hours later.

The Taoist priest came to the previous mass grave. At the foot of the mountain, there was a hole, very hidden, hidden in the weeds.

Then, he walked into the hole.

There was a man in the cave, and his appearance was also very ugly, even uglier than the ghost Taoist he had met before.

"How things went."

"Replying to the Great Elder, this pill has been sold in Chuwang City for many days, and most people already have one."

"it is good!"

The chief elder was an elder of the Yinxie Sect, named Xiegui. Their purpose of selling this "immortal pill" was to control the people of Chuwang City.

"Now, Elder Gui Laodao was killed by an immortal cultivator from nowhere, and he has not recovered yet."

"Without him, there will be more trouble, but it's not a big deal. Now we just need to carry out the plan."

"Yes, Great Elder."

The young Taoist priest replied with a smirk on his face.

Yun Chang'an and the other two learned from these two people that the Yinxie Sect was plotting something big.

"Senior Sister Chu, these two people are from the Yin Xie Sect."

Chu Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to step forward and capture the two of them.

"Senior Sister Chu, don't act rashly. We have no way to trap them now. We need to take a long-term view."

Yun Changan reminded him that it was because he was careless before that he didn't know that the old Taoist ghost had the ability to cast black energy, which allowed him to escape.

So after discussion, the two decided to leave here first to avoid alerting the enemy and see what actions they would take next.

Chu Xiaoxiao silently chanted an incantation, and two imperceptible rays of mysterious light instantly penetrated into the back of the two men's necks. This was a shadow-chasing soul spell, and the person who cast the spell could track down the location of the person who was cursed at any time and anywhere.

After performing the spell, the two of them left the cave.
