Husband-in-Law: Reborn Peasant Girl Busy Farming

Chapter 450 Lost Mixiang
Chai came in before he could stop him from touching with his fingers, so he quickly took his hand, wiped it with his sleeve, and said nervously, "Don't touch everything with your hands, you know the drug The raw material of incense is dead bodies!"

Everyone was startled, they stared at each other with rounded eyes, and then looked at Chai Jin in disbelief, Xue Lince's temple twitched violently.

"Really..."

"That's right." Chai Jin's face became more solemn, and he glanced at the expressions of the few people, "I just entered the courtyard of the demon monk, and I happened to see this man boiling incense. The raw material is the corpses of cats and dogs. Add dead people!"

With Chai Jin's last words, the cold draft slashed across everyone's backs, and the sour plum soup just eaten seemed to have turned into ice cubes. Everyone felt a chill from the inside out, and couldn't help but shudder. trembling.

"Bah, bah, bah," Ke Ran hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea from the teapot and washed her hands, feeling unlucky, "It's disgusting, these demon monks really didn't do anything good!"

He washed it back and forth with tea water several times, and finally wiped it again and again with a handkerchief until his fingertips were all puffy.

Tang Luoyu endured his nausea and went forward to take the handkerchief wrapped in light red paste. The medicinal fragrance was pretty in color, neither bright nor dull, and it had a quiet and elegant aroma when it was not lit. Corpse, really is the best thing.

She fanned and sniffed twice, but her mind didn't feel chaotic.

"It seems that it needs to be ignited and inhaled into the human body to trigger the effect of the medicine." She nodded at everyone, her eyebrows slightly frowned, "This thing looks harmless to humans and animals, but the ingredients are so disgusting."

Xue Lince also glanced at the ointment-like medicinal fragrance, "It's strange to think about it. If the monk's house is full of bones, how can there be no smell? How can the pilgrims not notice it?"

Chai Jin's eyebrows twitched, "This demon monk is very cunning. I saw that he took the corpses out of many large vats that were covered. He must have hidden these corpses in the vats during the day. Seal the lid tightly to prevent the smell from spreading, and fill the courtyard with spices to cover the smell when it is used at night."

Hearing this, Ke Ran finally stopped wiping his hands, "According to what Chai Jin said, the man's courtyard must be near the back mountain, which is convenient for moving the corpse and concealing the smell of decay. "

Thinking of something, Tang Luoyu stood up and looked at Ke Ran, "Ke Ran, what are spices? Can you identify them?"

Hearing this, Ke Ran twitched the corner of her mouth unnaturally, glanced at the medicinal fragrance from the corner of her eye, and really didn't want to touch it, after struggling for a while, she took the thing wrapped in the handkerchief and placed it in her palm carefully. voila.

After looking around for a while, he took out the small bundle containing the silver needles from his waist, took out the thinnest and longest one, picked a little, melted it in the palm of his hand with clean water, and fanned it twice to smell it.

"It doesn't have any peculiar smell after it melts." He nodded and shook his head again, "This rotten corpse should have a serious smell. I've read about this kind of fragrance in medical books, but I haven't seen it treated yet. So clean."

After that, he picked out a little bit with a silver needle, and lit it with a torch.

The light red mist immediately raised a puff of small thin white smoke, exuding some quiet and strange fragrance, and everyone hurriedly covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves.

"It's okay," Ke Ran said calmly, "This little scent is not enough to make the four of us hallucinate."

Tang Luoyu could no longer suppress the curiosity in his heart, "So this mist can really make people have the illusion of orientation?"

"Exactly," Ke Ran extinguished the incense, "but this production method was introduced from the Western Regions a hundred years ago, and it was only spread in the rivers and lakes and among the people at first to treat heartbreak caused by the death of a loved one. Its production process is too cruel, and the treatment effect has too many side effects, and the backlash aggravates the disease, so it was lost not long after."

He paused, and then said: "The biggest effect of this scent is hallucinogenic. You can see the person you want to see after many psychological hints, but hallucinations are hallucinations after all, and this scent varies from person to person. When meeting people who practice martial arts all the year round, the effect of this medicine is not ideal, so this demon monk secretly planted a piece of mandala in the back mountain, using it as an introduction, so that people will lose their minds and then apply the drug. , drip-tight, it’s simply abominable.”

After the voice fell, the room fell into a brief silence, and the cold moonlight came in from the window, separating from the warm orange in the room.

Xue Lince only felt that his temples were extremely swollen, and he spoke slowly after a long time, "This incense can only be made from corpses?"

"Yes," Ke Ran replied without hesitation, "This ecstasy has complex medicinal effects, and the corpses of cats and dogs are not bad, but if there are human bones, the medicinal effect will be even higher."

Tang Luoyu also felt the throbbing pain in the back of his head, and subconsciously squeezed his hands tightly, "If it's a cat or dog corpse, it's fine, it's just an ordinary fraud, what's the matter with this person's skeleton? The demon monk is still trying to murder his life?"

"But no one has reported to the authorities recently." Xue Lince frowned, "No one is missing. Where did this demon monk get his body?"

"Could it be transported from another place?"

"No," Chai Jin was the first to retort, "It's the hottest time of summer these days, and the corpses start to stink after being placed there for an hour or two, and they start to rot in half a day. , but there are mountain roads on both sides, if you want to transport the corpse, you must need a horse-drawn carriage, the horse-drawn carriage is difficult to travel, and it takes at least two days to transport a corpse, how can people passing by on the road not notice anything unusual?"

Tang Luoyu was in trouble, "What if ice cubes are added?"

"No way," Xue Lince vetoed this illusion, "If ice is added, a larger carriage will be needed, and the number of corpses that can be transported at one time will be less. This monk in cassock is quite famous in the surrounding area. If the monk on the Yuelao Temple Shuttle back and forth between the two places in a carriage, presumably it will be discovered soon."

Ke Ran remained silent, and then suddenly slapped her thigh, "I know! These people must have disguised themselves! That's why no one noticed anything unusual when they went out."

The other three were silent for a while, and finally Tang Luoyu spoke slowly, "I don't think so, this corpse is perishable, and it is impossible for Yuelao Temple to be so well-informed. How could he arrive nearby as soon as he heard someone passed away? The news spread It would take four or five days to add up the comings and goings, and no matter if you steal a corpse or buy a corpse from a deceased person, you must show your face in front of people, and they will definitely be recognized."

Everyone encountered a problem again and fell into silence for a while.
