Chapter 1084 Osmanthus Cake
A trace of body fragrance belonging to a young girl, with a hint of floral and fruity fragrance!
This smell definitely does not come from Zhuge Mingyue, and it is even less likely to come from that old monster Zhuge Canglan!
His eyes were as fast as lightning, sweeping across the stone chamber.
The interior furnishings are extremely simple, and the house is even more bare than the poorest five-guarantee households in Shitou Village.
But just beside the Hanyutai, on a small stone pier, there was an exquisite green jade dish!
The plate was empty, with a few light yellow crumbs remaining on the edge, and a faint, sweet aroma of osmanthus lingering around!
In this ascetic stone chamber, the appearance of a vessel that is obviously used to hold exquisite snacks is totally out of place!
Thinking of this, he stretched out his fingers, gently picked up the crumbs, put them to his nose and smelled them carefully, and suddenly he understood.
Facing Zhuge Canglan's almost biting gaze, Jiang Xiaochuan said with a hint of sarcasm: "Senior, since you have protected this stone chamber like a solid wall, how did this jade disc get in?"
Zhuge Canglan was speechless after hearing this sentence. Jiang Xiaochuan picked up the plate and shook it again, his tone becoming graver. "Yesterday, besides you and Mingyue, there was another young woman who came in here, right? What she brought was probably a poison wrapped in sugar..."
Before Jiang Xiaochuan could finish speaking, Zhuge Canglan's face twitched suddenly, and his thoughts suddenly went back to yesterday.
At that time, Zhuge Mingyue had just taken the elixir and kept pestering him for a long time to eat it.
He was determined not to give in - how could a forbidden place accommodate the desire for food?
But he couldn't resist Mingyue shaking his arm, his eyes were soft, like a little animal begging for food.
Who would have thought that just as he nodded, a warrior came to report that someone had arrived.
The person who came was Zhuge Feixue, Zhuge Mingyue's cousin.
The two are of similar age, grew up together, and have a deep relationship like sisters.
He remembered that Zhuge Mingyue had muttered a few days ago that she missed the osmanthus cake she made herself.
The pastries made by Zhuge Feixue herself were full of love, so Zhuge Canglan naturally had no reason to doubt it.
Thinking that the two sisters had colluded with each other long ago, he opened the ban and let Zhuge Feixue bring in a plate of exquisite osmanthus cake.
"Flying snow...osmanthus cake..."
Zhuge Canglan muttered to himself, and a biting chill instantly rushed from his tailbone to the top of his head, making this old monster who had lived for more than two hundred years shiver!
She...could she be the thorn planted by the Huangfu family?
How can this be? !
Zhuge Feixue grew up in the Zhuge family and had contact with very few people.
His personality is simple... Could it be that... the Huangfu family has already quietly extended its hand into the core and most protected inner bloodline of the Zhuge family?
The depth of this infiltration and the venomous intentions are to disintegrate the entire Zhuge family bit by bit from the very foundation!
"Heart-Eroding Powder... dissolves when it encounters sweetness, disappears when it encounters osmanthus... What a calculated plan! What a calculated plan!"
Jiang Xiaochuan combined the toxicology records in the inheritance and instantly understood the key point, his voice icy cold.
This poison was cleverly integrated into the sweet osmanthus cake, which not only concealed its own scent, but also accelerated its dissipation in the body with the help of sweets!
Every step is precisely stepped on the weaknesses of human nature!
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Canglan's aura surged.
At this moment, more than two hundred years of cultivation leaked out uncontrollably, causing the surrounding stone walls to creak.
"Senior!" Jiang Xiaochuan shouted fiercely under the pressure, "Now is not the time to be angry! The poison has penetrated into the bone marrow. If you delay any longer, even gods cannot save you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Canglan's whole body shook violently, and he suddenly woke up from his dream.
Jiang Xiaochuan was right. Zhuge Mingyue was the foundation of the family's revival. As long as Zhuge Mingyue could lead the clan members back to the peak of seclusion.
By then, any betrayal or conspiracy can be destroyed in a snap!
"Do you have any way to save her?"
At this moment, Zhuge Canglan no longer had the tit-for-tat attitude he had before towards Jiang Xiaochuan, and there was a hint of expectation in his words unconsciously.
Jiang Xiaochuan didn't rush to answer.
He lifted up Zhuge Mingkong's sleeve and saw spider-web-like blue lines appearing on his fair wrist, spreading towards his heart at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"The poison has already taken hold of my heart. Ordinary methods are no longer effective."
He said in a deep voice, "This poison is too fierce, and because of the delay, I still need your help."
"No problem, just ask. As long as Yue'er can be saved, I won't hesitate!"
Zhuge Canglan was extremely anxious at the moment, with only one thought in his mind: as long as he could save Mingyue, he would do it no matter what the cost.
"I need you to use your Qi to protect Mingyue's twelve meridians, especially the two vital energy centers of Danzhong and Shenque! Not to suppress them, but to nourish them. Protect her remaining spark of life and never let the evil spirit erode her even a little bit!"
Jiang Xiaochuan said quickly.
Zhuge Canglan did not hesitate and placed his palms just an inch above Mingyue's body.
A vast green energy flowed out like running water, accurately protecting Mingyue's meridians. As the true energy flowed, it even carried a subtle sense of nourishment, fully demonstrating his strength.
Feeling the steady and powerful protective force, Jiang Xiaochuan felt relieved.
His eyes focused, and nine golden needles flashed coldly between his fingers.
laugh!laugh!laugh!
Three golden needles accurately pierced into the "baihui" point on the top of Mingyue's head, the "yintang" point between the eyebrows, and the "dazhui" point behind the neck!
The needle tip trembles slightly, emitting a low but extremely penetrating humming sound - this is called "sounding needle to shock the acupoints", which forcibly awakens the body's last original Yang energy to fight against evil spirits!
Immediately afterwards, three needles were inserted into the "Laogong" points on both hands and the "Yongquan" points on both feet!
These four acupoints are the gateways where yin and yang meet. Under the stimulation of the golden needles, the weak life in Zhuge Mingyue's body, which was suppressed by the poison and was dying, suddenly jumped!
"Uh……"
Zhuge Mingyue, who was meditating, let out a painful groan, his body twitched violently, and the blue-black poisonous lines under his skin twisted wildly, resisting the guidance of the golden needles and the protection of the qi.
"The poison is backfiring! Senior, freeze!"
Jiang Xiaochuan's forehead was covered with sweat and he let out a low cry.
He kept moving, and the last three golden needles, with the momentum of burning the boats, instantly pierced into the "Tan Zhong", "Ju Que" and "Shen Feng" near Mingyue's heart!
After three injections were placed, the black poisonous spot on Mingyue's heart, as black as a palm print, suddenly bulged and beat violently, like an evil heart!
"Unravel the mystery!"
Jiang Xiaochuan muttered to himself, then looked at Zhuge Canglan, "The poison has become entangled with the source of life force. Using brute force to separate it will damage its roots."
"Senior, please condense a strand of pure Qi into a thread thinner than a hair, and guide it into Mingyue's body along the golden needles I inserted into the Laogong and Yongquan acupoints."
"Find the target and entangle every strand of the poisonous core of the Heart-Eroding Powder in her body, stripping it from her vital energy. Then, follow the golden needle path and force it out of her body through the two 'Heavenly Acupoints' at 'Baihui' and 'Dazhui'!"
