Hua Yuanzhao reached out to take the antidote and gave it to Princess Changle, then looked around vigilantly.

"I sincerely ask for medicine! What does Luoxia Mountain mean by this?" Princess Changle asked angrily.

The courtyard was dead silent. Apart from the popping of lamps and the sound of the wind, there was no noise at all, let alone any human presence.

The two exchanged glances before tentatively taking a step forward.

Princess Changle had just stepped on the bluestone bricks in the courtyard when ripples began to appear on the originally hard stone slabs, but they disappeared without a trace in the next moment.

The hairs on Princess Changle's arms stood up, and she subconsciously looked at Hua Yuanzhao: "This..."

Before she could finish her words, Hua Yuanzhao grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward.

The two walked on a small bluestone path. The candlelight in the stone lamps on the roadside flickered and went out as they passed by.

There are dim lanterns hanging under the corridor, with a ferocious Prajna painted on them. When the wind blows, the lanterns spin and the ghost face changes.

The further Princess Changle walked, the more uneasy she felt. She suddenly stopped and asked tentatively, "Miss Hua?"

Hua Yuanzhao also stopped. Her silhouette was dim under the candlelight, and it seemed a little unreal.

She turned her head slowly, her face was pale and her eyes were bulging. Half of her face was bitten by insects and there were maggots crawling at the corners of her mouth.

Princess Changle was so frightened that her scalp went numb. She subconsciously pulled out a whip and was about to whip the evil ghost in front of her.

Suddenly, the evil ghost raised his hand and sprinkled a handful of powder on her face.

Princess Changle was suddenly choked, and the light and shadows in front of her eyes suddenly became blurred, and the corridors and evil spirits disappeared like bubbles.

Only then did she realize that they were still standing at the door.

Hua Yuanzhao in front of her held her wrist with one hand and called out seriously, "Princess Changle?"

"What's wrong with me?" Princess Changle asked blankly, and hesitantly put down the whip in her hand.

"Looks like he's awake." Hua Yuanzhao breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Are you feeling any discomfort anywhere else?"

Princess Changle hesitated and shook her head, still feeling a sense of unreality.

"The candlelight and incense here are poisonous." Hua Yuanzhao slowly let go of Princess Changle's wrist and explained, "It took me some time to prepare the medicine. Fortunately, you are fine."

Princess Changle was immediately annoyed. She was a princess of a country after all, and she should be polite when she came to Luoxia Mountain to ask for medicine! How dare Luoxia Mountain poison her!

She was so angry that she no longer spoke politely.

"What do you mean by this, Luoxia Mountain?" Princess Changle shouted at the empty courtyard, "Do you know what the crime of murdering the princess of the dynasty is?"

She used her inner strength in this shout, and the sound immediately spread out, echoing in the courtyard.

As the sound faded, the stone lamp in the courtyard suddenly began to shake violently and turned left. The ground in front of them slowly cracked with the shaking, revealing stone steps deep underground, as if inviting the two to go down.

Hua Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows and looked at the stone steps in front of him in surprise.

--organ?

Princess Changle pinched her arm hard and gasped in pain: "It's not an illusion?"

There was a strange medicinal fragrance wafting in the air. Hua Yuanzhao touched his nose and was about to move forward.

Princess Changle grabbed her wrist and said vigilantly: "This mechanism is built underground. It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out!"

There is something strange about Luoxia Mountain. What if something really happens?

Hua Yuanzhao wrinkled his nose and spoke uncertainly: "But... I smelled the scent of medicine, it seems to be Suyu grass..."

She pointed to the dark ground, a little unsure: "It must be coming from down there."

They came here just to pick the Su Yu grass for use as medicine. If the Su Yu grass is really down there, they would go there even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire below!

Hua Yuanzhao calmed himself down and said to the hesitant Princess Changle, "How about this, I'll go down first, and Princess will stay outside. If anything happens, it will be convenient for you to send someone over."

Princess Changle was startled for a moment, then shook her head: "I'd better go down! I know martial arts, if I encounter anything..."

"What if the Su Yu grass is underneath, will you pick it?" Hua Yuanzhao silenced Princess Changle with just one sentence. She rummaged through the medicine box she carried with her and stuffed the detoxification pills she had prepared into Princess Changle's hands.

"This is a detoxification pill. If you feel unwell, take it first as an emergency measure." Hua Yuanzhao said directly.

Princess Changle was still a little hesitant, but the bluestone slabs gradually closed while shaking.

Hua Yuanzhao had no time to say anything when he saw this. He let go of Princess Changle's hand and ran downstairs.

Princess Changle wanted to stop him but she was too late and could only watch Hua Yuanzhao run into the darkness.

She was getting anxious, but the originally silent yard suddenly became noisy. Countless insects emerged from the ground, crawling around on the ground, and the birds in the mountains screamed like crazy.

The red door that had been tightly closed suddenly opened, and the servant who led them here rushed in hurriedly.

"Princess! The bugs on the mountain are rioting! Come hide with me!"

"Are you Luoxia Mountain people playing a trick on me?" Princess Changle almost laughed out of anger: "Where is your mountain master?"
