Chapter 447 Spices in the Temple
As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and the anxiety in their hearts became heavier. Under the depressed state of mind, they stopped saying a word on the way back.

They came back early that day, and it was just after noon when they arrived at the mansion, the afternoon sun was at its peak, the scorching summer sun was like fire, making people limp and powerless.

The yard has just been cleaned, and there are still many water stains left. The stray cats who often come to eat and drink in the house are leisurely lying on the dense maple tree to rest in the morning.

Several people dragged their tired bodies out of the car, stared at the scorching sun, and ran into the yard. They took advantage of the maple trees at the four corners of the yard to temporarily avoid the sun, and their eyes, which were stinging and white from the sun, finally had a chance to breathe. .

Ke Ran walked behind listlessly, and suddenly remembered something and suddenly raised her head, walked a few steps quickly, and grabbed Xue Lince's sleeve, "How much sesame oil did the monk ask you to pay today?"

The rich man from Yuedong Mansion narrowed his eyes, looking at Xue Lince like a falcon scanning its prey, while Tang Luoyu and Chai Jin beside him couldn't laugh or cry.

The four were silent for a long time before Xue Lince raised a finger.

Ke Ran's expression softened, "Ten taels?"

Xue Lince shook his head wordlessly, and Ke Ran almost exploded when he saw this, "100 taels?"

He immediately started chattering, "These monks are really hateful. They drugged people and cheated so much money for sesame oil. Hmph, I should have emptied all the money in the merit box if I knew it! These monks!"

He put his hands on his hips, his chest was heaving violently with anger, "Wait, I will find out the tricks of these demon monks quickly, and make them spit out all the money they swallowed!"

The more Ke Ran spoke, the more excited he became, and even raised his fist and waved it twice. Chai Jin let him make trouble at first, but then he grabbed his wrist and pulled him into the hall when he saw that he was talking endlessly.

The servants served cold sour plum soup and a bowl of sweet and sour fruit juice. The exhaustion of traveling and traveling was relieved a lot, and the heat in my heart seemed to cool down immediately as if cold water had been poured on it.

Ke Ran drank comfortably, and spread out on the chair in a disfigured manner, like a cat basking in the sun, whether she was sitting or standing.

"As far as you can see, this monk used a mandala as an introduction, gave me medicine, and then led me to the back mountain?"

Xue Lince sorted out his thoughts.

"Not necessarily," Ke Ran gulped down another bowl of sour plum soup, "It may be that the medicine was given to you first, and the medicine will take effect quickly when you smell the scent of the datura flower. That's when I saw the girl who looks exactly like Luo Yu."

"Compared to the back mountain, it's more convenient to administer the medicine in the back hall," Tang Luoyu held his chin in thought, "It's just that you didn't take anything from the monk in cassocks, nor did you eat or drink when you were in the front hall. What, how could you be drugged?"

The rest of the people couldn't figure out why, and the room fell into a momentary dullness.

At this time, Baoqin brought a basin of ice to a few people and put it in the corner of the room, fanned it with a fan, and the white cold air floating on the ice cubes quickly filled the whole room, most of the heat was dissipated, and it was illuminated by the sun The drowsy mind is also much clearer.

After Baoqin delivered the ice cubes, she went out and closed the carved wooden door.

Xue Lince was fascinated by the basin of ice in the corner of the room and the white smoke curling up above it. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he couldn't help shouting.

"It's fragrant!"

The few people who were fascinated by their thoughts trembled when he shouted, and their eyes fell on him like a spotlight.

Chai Jin and Ke Ran exchanged glances, and then said suspiciously, "There are no pilgrims in the apse, and no Bodhisattvas are enshrined. How can we put the medicine in the incense? Besides, even if it is really in the incense, the ashes are the same as we did a few days ago." What I have seen is just accidentally mixed with a little mandala, which is far from being hallucinogenic."

Hearing these suspicious questions, Xue Lince's eyes were still bright, and even the entire Qingjuan facial features were flushed with excitement.

"No, it's not the incense used by pilgrims to worship Bodhisattvas, but the spices used in the apse to purify the mind! Do you remember that there is a three-legged purple gold cage tripod placed in the middle of the courtyard of the apse? The incense is burning in it!"

The crowd suddenly realized.

Put the burning medicine in such a conspicuous place, and then use the reason of pure heart and mind to prevaricate it, so that everyone who comes and goes can see it. It is really dark under the lamp, and no one calls anyone's attention.

"These old bald donkeys are really cunning," Ke Ran gritted his molars resentfully, "Fortunately, the three of us were hiding in the distance at that time, and only Brother Xue was in the courtyard, so he was the only one who fell into the trick .”

"Then what shall we do?"

Chai Jin asked.

There was a short silence in the room again, and Tang Luoyu spoke slowly after a while, "The most urgent thing is to steal some of that incense and verify what is in it."

"If it's really a matter of incense, these old bald donkeys should pay close attention to it," Ke Ran folded his arms helplessly, "If there is no accident, they will definitely choose to dispose of incense ash in the dead of night and boil new ones. How can we steal the incense?"

He had doubts on his mouth, but his eyes looked at Chai Jin beside him with a smile.

Ke Ran's face is short and round. Although he is a well-known great doctor, his body always exudes a youthful and immature aura. When he smiles, his eyes bend into two crescents, ghostly and ghostly, as cunning as a fox , This will look at Chai Jin with that cheap look.

The latter refused to buy his account, and said bluntly, "What's the matter?"

"Hero Chai," Ke Ran nudged his hand, "It's all up to you. Young talents who are deceived in seeking marriage from all over the world can only rely on you to turn the tide."

He spoke so nastyly that Chai Jin curled his lips unnaturally, "Whenever you want to do such shameful things, do you think of me?"

"Oh," Ke Ran reprimanded and pushed him, "You should agree quickly, or Yue Dong will fall."

"I know, I know, don't be so nasty," Chai Jin stood up half impatiently and half amused, "Tonight I'm going to visit this old moon temple to see what's weird about it."

"Okay," Ke Ran also stood up, and patted him on the shoulder solemnly, "It's up to you, Daxia Chai must do it cleanly, resolutely, and beautifully."

"You don't need to tell me."

Chai Jin rarely showed a complacent expression, the two talked to each other, but the dull atmosphere in the room was reduced by half.

After confirming the plan, Ke Ran went back to the house, quickly sewed the medicinal materials picked out a few days ago into a sachet, and handed it to Chai Jin when he was about to go out.

"That Yuelao Temple was full of drugs, and you take this sachet, it can refresh your mind at critical moments, and protect you from being disturbed by drugs."
