"Lingling, have you seen Huaru?"

  "She's gone early!"

  "This girl runs away early every morning... Do you know where she went?"

  Linlin shook her head and carried a broom into the cleaning room.

  "Indeed, I've failed again!" she muttered under her breath, stamping her foot in frustration.

  "Little Painter Sister, what are you looking for Hua Rou for?" Linlin came out and rushed towards Zihua.

  Nothing in particular, just asking casually.

  Zi Hua turned around and went towards the front yard, Lin Lin naturally followed behind him.

  Not long after they left, Tang Xiao walked out of that dark room, his face with a faint sense of disappointment and melancholy: I really haven't seen Hua Rou for a long time.

  Just as Tang Xiao let out a soft sigh in her heart, Mu Jun stood beside Hua Rou and whispered a reminder.

  "Before, every time you tried to circulate the Qi, you could only complete a small part. This time, try circulating from the beginning, if it can flow smoothly and unobstructed, then this Three Pure Spirit Scripture Volume will be truly enlightened."

  "Good." Hua Rou immediately closed her eyes and began to try.

  Admiring the lady, I watched as she inhaled and exhaled, then immediately dropped two mechanical boxes by her side. Turning to glance at the stone gate, I took a light step forward and leaped over it with a single bound, entering the forbidden area within.

  Inside the stone gate is a courtyard with a small path leading forward to a house resembling a temple.

  He didn't take a step forward immediately, instead he squatted down to carefully observe the road surface and the seemingly withered grass around him.

  As expected...

  As expected, the formation made Mu Junwu secretly sneer. After quickly calculating a viable route, he spent half a cup of tea's worth of time making seven turns and eight detours on the seemingly flat and unobstructed small road before finally arriving in front of that house.

  The house is made of cypress and stone, the years have left marks on the door, making it quite old, but the stone pillars are solemn.

  This strange combination made Mu Junwu somewhat puzzled, and then he noticed the mechanical stone lock hanging on the wooden door.

  "It's interesting." He muttered softly, and immediately took action. With a few clicks, the stone lock was opened, he removed the stone lock and pushed open the door...

  At this moment, in the empty and deserted temple, the top of the "small mountain" stacked with plaques, a hanging oil lamp rotated in one direction.

  ……

  I stood in stunned silence within the room, longing for you.

  He already understood why the room was a combination of wood and stone, because the old trace here was a stone pavilion, all the wooden parts were forcibly added later, just to cover up the nine stone tablets inside the stone pavilion.

  Yes, inside the Shiting there are nine stone tablets standing upright, forming a circle.

  These stone tablets, nearly nine feet tall, have been polished and scraped flat except for the designs of azaleas, making it impossible to see their original inscriptions. The tops of the stone tablets are also carved with azalea sculptures in different shapes.

  I gazed at these azaleas and thought of the azalea patterns on the assassin's body, also recalling the half-pattern on the neck of that Soul Snatcher House disciple, my brow furrowed involuntarily.

  Why is this azalea everywhere?

  Was the person who stabbed me from the Tang Sect?

  If so, why would Tangmen participate in it?

  Tangmen isn't supposed to be isolated from the world?

  I came to the center of this circle with many doubts about you.

  This is a black stone that stands out from its surroundings, with a stone pedestal on top of it that has a recessed groove.

  Approaching you cautiously, he made several attempts to move the black stone block, but finding it immovable, he went on to examine the stone pedestal.

  Inside the stone pedestal is a conspicuous mechanism with protruding sharp thorns and sunken holes.

  "It seems that a key is still needed to open it." Mu Junwu muttered, and decisively retreated from the place, restoring the stone lock to its original state, and returning by the same route.

  When he jumped out from the stone gate, Hua Rou was still in meditation.

  Mu Jun quickly came to her side, put away the mechanism box, sat down beside her, and looked at Hua Rou while thinking in his heart.

  Who is it that gave me this handkerchief and told me to come to Tangmen?

  Does he want me to hide in Tangmen to avoid disaster or throw myself into the tiger's mouth?

  Everywhere is azalea, is the person who killed me a Tangmen or just a coincidence?

  Longing for you, I turned my eyes around, took out a small porcelain bottle from my bosom and held it in my hand to admire.

  The life-saving medicine given by Empress Dowager is actually poison. This poison, even the poison master can't solve... What's going on? Perhaps, the answer lies... there.

  Admiring you, I have made up my mind. I immediately put away the porcelain bottle, and at this moment, Hua Rou let out a long sigh and opened her eyes.

  "How?" Mu Jun asked in a soft voice.

  Hua Rou's eyes shone brightly as she gazed at Mu Jun: "It's too incredible, I feel like I can sense the flow of blood in my veins, and I even feel... feel..."

  "What?"

  Hua Rou stretched out her hand and touched her waist: "I feel like there's a vague power growing bigger here."

  Admiring you, I raised an eyebrow and beckoned with a gentle curl of my finger: "Come here!"

  Hua Rou obediently got up and approached him, just as Mu Junwu reached out to grab her arm, pulling up her sleeve and pinching it an inch above her elbow.

  Huā Róu was somewhat taken aback, he didn't know what Mù Jūn Wú was doing, but the warm and cool fingertips brought a sense of touch that made Huā Róu's inner turmoil unstoppable.

  How did the poison in his body increase again?

  Hua Rou's mouth opened slightly, she wanted to ask him, but then remembered his warning and swallowed her words.

  "You've actually opened your Qi Hai?" Mu Junwu looked at Hua Rou in surprise, Hua Rou was confused: "What?"

  Mu Jun loosened his grip on Hua Rou's arm and smiled at her: "Congratulations."

  Hua Rou was even more stunned: "Ah?"

  "You have already awakened and...have made some progress. In the future, as long as you study diligently and practice hard, there will come a day when you can stand out from the crowd."

  "Really?" Hua Rou excitedly jumped up: "Great! From now on I won't be afraid of being bullied!"

  Huā Róu said, clenching her small fist, putting on a fierce face, provoking Mù Jūn Wú to roll his eyes: "It's still early."

  "What?" Hua Rou crouched back beside Mu Junwu: "What's too early?"

  "A true strong person won't be bullied." Mu Junwu stood up and patted the dust off his body: "You're still too young!"

  After I finished speaking, you took a step and left.

  "How much longer will it take for me to become stronger?" Hua Rou picked up her basket and chased after him: "Ai Mu big brother, wait for me!"

  ……

  The moon is moving in the sky, and the night has already become deep.

  After the candle in the western wing was blown out, both Zihua and Ziqi, who were sitting by the window in the eastern wing, looked unhappy.

  "It's really evil." Zi Hua had just whispered, and was immediately glared at by Zi Qi. The two of them looked towards Linlin who had already fallen asleep.

  "Sleep!" Zi Qi frowned and lay down, while Zi Hua stared at the western wing for a few seconds before blowing out the candle and lying down.

  Tomorrow I'll try another way, I don't believe this stinky girl can't be killed!

  At this time, Ziqi was also thinking: Hua Rou, what's your background? Are you really pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?

  The night was dark and deep, Ziqi's painting could no longer sleep, while Mu Jun had quietly left the office...
