Shengjing Conspiracy

"Master, this is the incense money we paid. My friend really wants to come here to seek a suitable marriage. Just accommodate me. We won't bother you for too long." Lu Ziyan went down the mountain earlier than Yunyao, and he Unlike the orphan Yunyao, he has parents, and the rich local family in his family never lacks money and silver. He is much clearer than Yunyao in terms of secular matters.

The monk pretended to hesitate for a while, seeing that there was no one around, he quickly put away Lu Ziyan's broken silver, coughed twice and said: "Sincerity is as good as gold and stone, you two are destined for my Buddha, please come in Bar."

Yun Yao looked at the sky and rolled her eyes, if you heard your words, you might be so angry that you would fall on your back.

"Thank you, master." Lu Ziyan saluted and dragged Yun Yao into Hanfeng Temple.

From the outside, the area of ​​Hanfeng Temple is not too big, but when you enter the inside, you will find that Hanfeng Temple is very grand, and the carvings are so exquisite. Even Lu Ziyan had to sigh in his heart when he saw it. Really rich.

"Hey, why did you give him money just now? He can't stop us even if he just barged in." Yun Yao was still unconvinced, it's really a pity to waste money in such a place.

Lu Ziyan stretched out his hand and tapped Yunyao's head, filled with emotion, "I'm really curious now where you grew up and how you can grow up so unearthly." Lu Ziyan's thoughts are unexpectedly simple and cute, Think truthfully.

"What do you mean!" Yun Yao stared at him with embarrassment when she was met by someone who seemed to be about the same age as her.

Lu Ziyan spread his hands, "It's nothing, I just found it strange. I just made a normal transaction, not a waste of money. If you broke in, you might be beaten to death and you won't find any clues."

Yun Yao also realized that she was too reckless just now when he said that, she touched her nose in embarrassment, and changed the subject, "Then where should we go to investigate now?"

"Well——" Lu Ziyan pointed to the main hall where there was smoke wafting out, "Since we've come to the temple, of course the incense sticks should be offered first."

Yun Yao: "..."

I always feel that this person is a bit unreliable.

Of course, the matter of buying incense still fell on Lu Ziyan, a rich man. The two walked into the main hall with the incense, and first looked around the appearance inside, which was no different from ordinary temples. Looking down at the worshiping believers condescendingly with kindness, it is difficult for people to have other thoughts in this kind of place.

What's wrong?Yun Yao knelt on the futon, absently burning incense.

"It's okay to disrespect the Buddha." Lu Ziyan said softly.

Yun Yao turned her head to look at him, and the other party was clasping his hands devoutly, as if she was really making a wish with the Buddha, Yun Yao desperately resisted the desire to roll her eyes, does this man remember what they came for?

The two got up from the futons and walked outside the hall. At this time, there were very few people in Hanfeng Temple. It seemed that, as the monk who guarded the gate said, no one would enter after sunset.

"Did you find anything?" Lu Ziyan asked Yunyao with his hands in his hands.

Yun Yao shook her head and said, "No, but I always feel that something is wrong."

Lu Ziyan stroked his chin thoughtfully, and looked at the sky, "Go back down the mountain first, after staying for a long time, don't startle the snake again."

So the two went down the mountain like this. When they arrived in the small town, they thought they would go back to the inn separately, but they walked three times and walked twice. The two stood in front of the same inn, looking at each other.

"You live here too?" They said in unison.

Lu Ziyan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "The two of us are really destined to each other."

Yun Yao twitched the corners of her mouth, she smiled subtly, thinking to herself, she doesn't know if this fate is evil or not.

When the two entered the inn, Yunyao wanted to go back to her room, but before she put her hand on the door, Lu Ziyan grabbed him and dragged him into another room.

"What's the matter?" Yun Yao patted Lu Ziyan's hand away with a stiff face, it was obviously just the first day they met, and they were too familiar.

Lu Ziyan put a finger on his lips and hissed softly, took out a small package from his sleeve pocket and opened it, it was a stick of incense.

"I secretly broke it off when I was burning incense. You and I will study this together." Lu Ziyan said as he walked to the table and took out a box from his luggage.

At this time, Yun Yao was already interested. Although he didn't know when Lu Ziyan made such a small move, but he got the incense, which meant that he felt that there was something wrong with the incense, so he stopped thinking about pushing the door and leaving, and then sat down at the table.

In the dimly lit room, two teenagers gathered together and stared at the table, to be precise, it was the small piece of incense.

The incense is only the size of a thumb, and it is light yellow in color, and has a faint fragrance before it is lit.

Lu Ziyan gradually frowned, he was born in a wealthy family, and he has smelled many incenses, but the smell of this incense does not belong to any of them.

Yun Yao tilted her head and continued to smell, Lu Ziyan saw that he was about to lie down on the table and hurriedly pulled him down, "Smell, why are you going to the table?"

"Don't make trouble." Yun Yao slapped Lu Ziyan's hand away, smelled it for a long time and it was not good enough, why don't you just light the incense, Lu Ziyan was shocked, "It's just a little, if you light it, it will be gone."

Yun Yao shrugged her nose, looked at Lu Ziyan, and sneered, "Haven't you smelled it yet?"

Lu Ziyan was taken aback, and he settled down to distinguish between the sandalwood scent commonly used in spices and the ordinary cypress leaf scent, as if there was a very light smell mixed in it.

"Yes--"

"It's ephedra grass!"

As soon as Yun Yao uttered a word, the other party blocked her back, and the other party raised her chin triumphantly, as if to show that she was as good as you.

"Yes, it's the ephedra grass." Yunyao pinched the incense ash with her hands, "Ephedra grass is also known as Longsha, and the seeds of the grass itself are poisonous, and a small amount of it can cure diseases, but if you use too much, it will make people anxious. Irritability and palpitations, headaches, dizziness, sweating and fever, and even death, I have only heard about it from Master before, but this is the first time I have seen it.”

Fortunately, he had to learn not only martial arts and divination, but also medicine since he was a child, otherwise he would be here today.

Yun Yao's face is ugly, no wonder the people in this small town are like that, smelling this fragrance all day long, it's no wonder that the poison accumulated in the body for many years is not sick.

Ephedra is both medicine and poison. In ancient times, Taoist priests made alchemy with ephedra in pursuit of the ecstasy it brought.Physicians avoid this kind of medicine, and don't use it if they can. Anyone with a weak body can't stand this kind of medicine.

"I remember that the ephedra grass is produced in the south and northwest of Yunnan. It should not be easy to get so much ephedra grass in the mainland." After knowing what it was, Lu Ziyan's brain also began to come alive.

Thinking of Lu Ziyan giving money to the monk, Yun Yao twitched her lips, "Money can make ghosts grind."

Lu Ziyan was noncommittal, touched his chin and looked outside at the pale sky, "It's almost dawn, are you sleepy?"

"Not sleepy, do you want to go to Hanfeng Temple again?"

"Idle is idle. The fragrance made from this ephedra grass is harmful to people. One more day is one more day." Lu Ziyan did not forget what he did as a martial artist. idea.

Yun Yao got up and patted the creases on his clothes, Lu Ziyan looked at him puzzled, Yun Yao raised his eyebrows, "Since you are going to go again, why are you still sitting here, let's go."

"You're really—let's go, and finish those monster monks quickly." Lu Ziyan shook his head, and left the inn together.

When they arrived at Hanfeng Temple again, the sky had already fully dawned, and the two of them stood in front of the temple gate covered in morning dew.

At this time, Hanfeng Temple has not yet opened, but several believers are already standing outside waiting to offer incense.

Yun Yao saw that they were all skinny and listless without exception. Although they were well dressed, they looked like they hadn't eaten enough.

The nature of the doctors made Yun Yao and Lu Ziyan put away the last bit of relief on their faces, chose a hidden place, climbed over the wall and entered Hanfeng Temple.

When they arrived at Hanfeng Temple, the two of them didn't dare to take the main road. They avoided everyone all the way and walked in. It took a long time to find the faint scent of spices and thought of the backyard.

Standing at the corner not far away, the two stared at the monks coming and going in and out of the small courtyard. Without exception, they held a lot of incense candles in their hands.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the two became more serious, Lu Ziyan lowered his voice and said, "How is your martial arts?"

Yun Yao paused, "It shouldn't be a problem to clean these up." He took out a few small paper bags from his pocket, and said seriously: "Premium Mongolian sweat medicine, just in case, do you want some?"

"Take it yourself." Lu Ziyan froze. Although it was a little sinister, it was indeed a good way to save his life.

Taking a deep breath, the two rolled into the small courtyard and prepared to be caught off guard first. Who knew that when they entered the small courtyard, they found that there were already a bunch of people lying there.

Yun Yao, Lu Ziyan, "..." What's going on? ?

"Who are you!"

A voice sounded behind the two of them, and when they turned around, they saw two teenagers, one fat and one thin.

Seeing that the two men were holding weapons in their hands, and they were about the same age as her, Yun Yao guessed in her heart that they must have also discovered that something was wrong with Hanfeng Temple and came to prepare to open up this den of thieves.

"Under Lu Ziyan, this is Yunyao, and the two brothers also came to investigate these monster monks?" Lu Ziyan reacted faster than Yunyao, bowed to the two, smiled gently, and looked like a very talkative person.

The little fat man on the opposite side also understood what was going on, and patted his head fiercely, "I am Hui En, a lay disciple from Tianshan Temple, and this is my friend, Xu Lai."

Lu Ziyan approached Xu to come to the archer, although Yunyao didn't know much about Jianghu, but she knew how to greet him with fists.

"We passed by here the day before yesterday and found something was wrong, so we came here today to think about solving them. We knew we would meet you, so we came together." Hui En smiled again.

Yun Yao thinks this little fat man is very interesting, he looks much more sincere than Lu Ziyan.

The four young people of similar age got acquainted after a short time together, but they forgot that they were not in any good place now, but in a real den of thieves.

A group of monks with swords, guns and sticks poured into the small courtyard, each of them was vicious, and the leader looked at the courtyard with a sneer, "Since you are here, don't even think about stepping out of the gate of Hanfeng Temple today. "
