Above the source of Tao

Back to the residence.

Yun Changan and Chu Xiaoxiao took out all the evil pills they had.

"These ones were obtained from the mountain temple, and this one was given by Miss Hanlan."

These black evil pills look exactly the same and emit a foul stench.

Yun Changan guessed in his heart that the people from the Yin Xie Sect were plotting something big in the mass grave, and they wanted to make everyone in the city eat this evil pill.

And there are more than just these few people in this Yinxie Sect.

"Senior Sister Chu, do you think anyone from the dynasty was involved in this matter?"

Yun Changan had many questions in his mind, but he still felt that it was possible that people from this dynasty were also involved. It was just that this was Senior Sister Chu’s hometown, so it was not easy to say it out loud.

"I don't know. I hope not."

Chu Xiaoxiao showed bitterness on her face. She was unwilling to believe that those people would take part in poisoning the lives of ordinary people.

"Let's find a way to get into the palace and take a look."

Yun Chang'an saw Chu Xiaoxiao's worry, so he suggested that he wanted to see if anyone in the palace was participating, also to reassure Chu Xiaoxiao.

"Yes, that's right. Seeing is believing. We need to go into the palace and investigate."

Chu Xiaoxiao nodded in response to Yun Changan's proposal, but then said.

"The palace is heavily guarded. If we are discovered, there will probably be a big chaos. If there are people in the palace involved, it will definitely alert the enemy."

Chu Xiaoxiao felt that it was not a good idea for them to sneak in. The palace was very large, and if they wanted to check it completely, it would take a lot of time. The invisibility technique could not last for long, at most the time of an incense stick.

"We can ask Miss Hanlan to take us in."

"Ordinary people cannot enter the palace without a suitable reason. The palace is heavily guarded, and strangers are searched very strictly. There may be secret guards accompanying them, and every move will be monitored."

This put the two of them in a dilemma. It seemed that they had to look for Miss Hanlan to see if there was any chance to enter the palace.

Just then, there was movement outside the door.

A fat man paced back and forth at the door, hesitated for a moment, and knocked on the door.

The person who came was Shopkeeper Sun.

"My two heroes, I hope I didn't disturb your rest by coming to see you so late."

Shopkeeper Sun entered the room, showing a simple smile, and stood awkwardly in front of the two men.

"I wonder if Manager Sun has something to do at this late hour?"

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at him expressionlessly, which made Manager Sun a little nervous.

"Nothing serious. I wonder if the two knights have heard recently that a Taoist priest has appeared on the market and is selling elixirs in the city."

Yun Chang'an and the other two were greatly surprised. This elixir was just as the two evil ghosts had described. Everyone in this city should have one.

"I've heard of it, but Shopkeeper Sun, have you bought the elixir?"

Shopkeeper Sun chuckled and took out an ancient carved wooden box from his arms, which contained the elixir sold in the city.

"My two heroes, today a Taoist priest was selling this elixir outside Zuixianlou. I heard that this elixir has miraculous effects, so I bought it and presented it to you two."

Shopkeeper Sun presented the elixir with both hands. Yun Changan took it and said to Shopkeeper Sun.

"I wonder how much Shopkeeper Sun bought?"

When Shopkeeper Sun heard this, he thought that the two people in front of him might have heard of this elixir and wanted more, so he spoke hurriedly.

"My dear knight, my family is not wealthy. The price of this elixir has risen from a few dozen to three thousand. I only bought these two and thought I could give them to you two."

Shopkeeper Sun wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"We appreciate Shopkeeper Sun's kindness. If we buy too much, we hope he won't eat it."

Listening to Yun Chang'an's words, he felt puzzled. Everyone who had eaten this elixir said it was good, but why did the knight tell him not to eat it?

"Why is this?" Yun Changan asked with confusion.

But he did not say it explicitly, and only told Manager Sun that this elixir was the same as the contents of the jade bottles you gave them.

He turned pale in an instant, looking at Yun Changan and the other two with a pale face. Seeing their affirmative looks, Manager Sun understood what was going on, so he immediately thanked them and left.

When he returned to his room, his wife saw Manager Sun coming back in a panic and wanted to ask what had happened.

Before she could say anything, she heard him shout, "Did you take the pills I bought?"

Seeing him so panicked, she timidly said in a low voice, "Not yet. I was just waiting for you to come back."

"Don't eat it, this pill is poisonous."

Hearing this, his wife instantly panicked and dropped the elixir she had just taken out to the ground.

Looking at the pills on the ground, Shopkeeper Sun immediately stepped forward, wrapped them up with rags, and without waiting for his wife to ask, he ran out of the room, took a fire starter, and started burning them in the backyard.

Soon, the pills began to sizzle in the fire and rose into the sky accompanied by black gas.

Looking at the black gas, he thought of the man with black gas that he saw in the mountain temple that night. His legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

Seeing this, his wife stepped forward to help him up, but after several attempts, she failed to help him up, and instead she fell to the ground. "This black energy is exactly the same as the person with black energy I met that night."

Both of them were so frightened that they lay motionless on the ground.

As the black gas drifted in the air, an extremely unpleasant smell went straight into my nose. It took me a long time to come back to my senses.

"These two heroes have saved our lives again."

"These two are truly our great benefactors!"

The two supported each other, stood up, and looked at each other with gratitude in their eyes.

"We must serve them both well and not let them down."

"Yes, these two have great abilities. With them, we can protect our safety."

At this time, Yun Changan looked at Chu Xiaoxiao and said, "I'm afraid that Shopkeeper Sun bought more than just these two."

"If this person can listen to advice, he can still be saved."

The visitor looked at the pill in front of him and decided to go find Miss Hanlan tomorrow.

"Senior Sister Chu, I don't know where Miss Han Lan lives. How can I find her?"

Yun Changan thought of a serious problem at this moment. He left in a hurry today and had not had time to ask about her address.

"It should be in the Zhenbei General's Mansion."

The Zhenbei General's Mansion is located in the north of the city. As the general's children, they do not live in the palace all the time. They only enter the palace when they are invited to visit every month.

The prince, on the other hand, would stay in the palace because of his official position and would not normally leave the palace at will.

Paying respects is a unique ritual of the Chu Zhao Dynasty. On the first, seventh and ninth days of each month, the princes and princes of each dynasty would go to the palace to pay respects to the king and his concubines, the queen, and the queen dowager.

This is etiquette and also the rule that has been passed down since the establishment of the Chu Zhao Dynasty.

Tomorrow happens not to be one of these three days, so Miss Hanlan will be in the general's mansion.
