The Buddha Temple is not pure

"I heard that Young Master Duan went to Pei's house today."

Xue Suilan held a Biya hairpin in his hand, nodded his head and looked at it: "What's the matter?"

Zi Kou looked at her profile in the bronze mirror: "I heard that the Duan family's dog went crazy and bit the Zhu family's young master. The news from Duan's residence said that the matter was not that simple, as if it had something to do with some herbal fruit oil , Because of that thing, the dog will go crazy, the holy lady and Young Master Duan are investigating the root cause of this matter."

"and then?"

"We don't usually use the foreign grass fruit oil. Jishitang has no stock in the past two years, let alone other pharmacies, and there is no such thing in Dongducheng. It needs to be purchased from southern Hunan. It must be the Pei family. carriages and horses, that's why Young Master Duan went to Pei's house."

She smiled and said, "Where is the holy lady?"

"Saint? I haven't heard of any movement."

"The mountain and the rain are about to come and the wind is all over the building. It is her own brother who will be hurt. Naturally, she will not give up, but she is calm on the surface, and it is impossible to do nothing."

Zi Kou smiled and said: "That's right, the holy aunt has always loved and wished the young master the most. Hey, girl, this hairpin in your hand looks so special, I haven't seen it before."

While speaking, he reached out to touch it, but the moment he could touch it, Bi Ya's hairpin broke into several pieces, and his voice was clear and crisp.

Zi Kou said in shock: "Girl, girl, I didn't mean it."

Xue Suilan looked at the hairpin that was broken on the dressing table, and said helplessly: "I have painstakingly glued it together, but it is still so vulnerable, is it really not for me?"

"What is the girl talking about?"

"It's nothing, you go out."

Zi Kou pouted: "Girl, since you came back, you have been depressed, as if you have changed your temper, and your food and clothing are not the same as before. You used to always like flamboyant things, and gold, silver, pearls and pearls never left your hands, but Now I prefer such plain things, and the clothes are also dressed in plain colors, girl, if you have any concerns, you can tell me, although I am not very empathetic, but it is too uncomfortable for the girl to hold back in her heart."

"Leave me alone and get out."

She recalled the ups and downs of the past, but she didn't know where to start.

Zi Kou reluctantly withdrew, but after a while, she knocked on the door and went in again.

"Why are you back?"

Zi Kou was wronged: "Girl, the saint is here and wants to see you."

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

"Do you want to arrange it in the council hall?"

"No need." She got up, "Please come into my garden."

"Yes."

When the two met, they didn't even exchange greetings, they were silent for a long time, Zi Kou saw that the atmosphere was not right, and retreated after serving tea.

Zi Kou felt strange and sneaked into Fourth Master Xing's house quietly.

"What is the purpose of the saint's visit today?"

Zhu Mengzhen took a sip of tea and said: "There is no one around, why bother to ask."

Xue Suilan sneered: "But because of the injury of Young Master Zhu?"

"Let's open the skylight and tell the truth. Ke'er was attacked by the hounds of Duanfu. The reason is that the herb fruit oil on his sleeve irritated the hounds, causing the hounds to go mad and hurt people. It's not difficult to get him to get the herb fruit oil , the hard thing is not to be noticed, why didn't he smell such a pungent spicy smell? I'm very surprised.

It wasn't until I returned to Dong'an Hall that the questions in my mind were answered. "

"I would like to hear the details." Xue Suilan smiled calmly, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

"Have you ever heard of a kind of ecstasy incense, no, to be precise, it is the incense of requiem, which is produced in Huqiang in the Western Regions. According to legend, it was used by Zang monks and lamas to save the souls of those who were ordained. The pain during the precepts, the smell of the fragrance is faint, light can cause numbness of the five senses, mental confusion, heavy can make people frequently hallucinations, and even memory confusion. Over time, it was lost."

"Is there such a magical thing? Why don't I know, since it has long been lost, why does the saint mention it so often?"

"It's true that it has been lost, but I heard that after the prince of the country became a Buddha, the attendant who added the incense developed the incense, but it was not made public, but it was put on the shelf... Listen to you that day Saying that Yue Weiyang is still alive, I just thought you were talking too fast to anger me, but now, I have no choice but to believe that she is not only alive, but also told you how to make this incense!"

Xue Suilan sneered: "Where did you say that? I don't understand what the aunt is talking about without evidence."

Zhu Mengzhen turned pale with anger: "Without evidence? On the night of Lord Jin's wedding, Pei Mengqiang said that she was trapped in front of the fox fairy seat and heard the fox fairy talking to her. You and I know it well. There is no such thing as a fox fairy appearing holy, it was clearly caused by an illusion, everyone was quite suspicious of her words at that time, until you came out to testify for her, and said that you also smelled the indescribable smell of incense, which made people believe.

But at its root, it is all arranged by you!Although I don't know where you have been in the past three years, I definitely can't be in Mengjue Temple. Your resurrection has nothing to do with the fox fairy, but Yue Weiyang's work! "

"So what!" Xue Suilan said with a smile, "That's right, my resurrection from the dead really has nothing to do with the fox fairy, so what does it have to do with me when the young master Zhu is injured? I'm afraid that the holy aunt came to Xingshi early in the morning to inquire about the crime. Sorry."

As soon as the words fell, Fourth Master Xing had already stepped into her garden, only because he heard the words "Xing Shi asked the crime", so he didn't rush forward, he pulled Zi Kou to stop behind the screen wall.

"Hmph." Zhu Mengzhen sneered, "I went back to Dong'an Hall that day, and found that the medicine room was infused with this kind of requiem incense! Because the amount is small and mixed with medicinal fragrance, it is not easy to detect, but it will make people feel better after a long time. Human five senses are paralyzed, Ke'er didn't notice it when he was sitting in Dong'an hall for consultation, but when he left Dong'an hall and went to Duan's mansion, he had already lost his sense of smell, so naturally he couldn't smell the herbal fruit oil stuck on his clothes."

Xue Suilan said with a smile: "Holy Aunt is wrong to blame me. I have been resting at home for the past few days. I have never been to Dong'an Hall."

"It's true that you haven't been to Dong'an Hall, but Min Chen came to see you. I haven't been anywhere these two days, turned Dong'an Hall upside down, and pressed him day and night, so he told the truth! "

She frowned and said: "It turned out that the eldest son did it, no matter how you look at it, it's all your own family affairs, Holy Aunt, you can't blame me, can you?"

Zhu Mengzhen took the case and said: "It's up to now, you still want to shirk it! Min Chen said that you gave him the spice. You only said that the incense is beneficial and can refresh the mind, so he burned it in Dong'an Hall. It's just being used!"

"Are you sure that Eldest Young Master Zhu is telling the truth, so you come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime? He is the one who evaded it completely. The day he came to see me, he only said that you prepared something to give to the elder brother and elder sister-in-law. Others I didn't mention it again, and I didn't give him any spices, so it's not good to be innocent."

"Whether there are any spices, you can find out by looking through your Yuan Court."

Xue Suilan didn't stop her, but just watched with cold eyes. Unexpectedly, the moment she pushed open the bedroom door, there was a loud shout from behind the screen:

"presumptuous!"

Fourth Master Xing came with Zi Kou, his eyes full of anger.

"Fourth brother?"

Zhu Mengzhen was also surprised: "Why is Fourth Master here?"

After he sat down, he said: "Zi Kou found me and said you were here, I thought you were here to find me, but unexpectedly you came to Zhu Yuan Ting."

She stopped, and replied helplessly: "I'm going to ask the girl about something."

"Just now you had a conversation, and I understand it roughly. Since you have doubts in your mind, why don't you find Mr. Zhu and let's confront each other in court. If there is any misunderstanding, it's better to make it clear. I'm afraid that if you care about it, you will be confused and wronged." Forecast, she and the Zhu family have never had any enmity, there is no need to do such a thing."

"What the fourth brother said is true." Xue Suilan smiled after saying that.

Zhu Mengzhen knew her hatred and grievances, but she could only eat Coptis chinensis as a dumb person, which was unspeakable.

Furuo went back to send a letter, and called Zhu Minchen who was waiting by Zhu Minke's bed. When he came here, he was hunched over, and he didn't dare to look at people directly. It's a far cry from the suave attitude of the day.

Ji Xuanzhen was sitting in the main seat of Zhuyuan Court, his eyes were as sharp as sharp swords, which made Zhu Minchen tremble.

"Sir, please sit down, come and have a cup of tea."

Zhu Minchen sat next to Zhu Mengzhen.

"Don't be afraid, just tell fourth master exactly what happened that day." Zhu Mengzhen knew that he was always cowardly, so he deliberately mentioned something.

Zhu Minchen said: "Back to the fourth master, that day I came to deliver things to Master Jin and the young mistress according to the elder sister's wishes. Weng Lao is not here, Master Jin is not here, and you are not anymore. It was the pre-girl who came out to receive the things, so I had to send the things to you." Hand it over to her, that's all, the girl said that she also has something to give me, so I took the brocade box in her hand, not wanting to open it and it turned out to be a box of spices, she said that the incense is beneficial, let me Taking it back as a gift in return, I didn't think much about it at the time, so I agreed."

"Nonsense!" Zi Kou scolded, "When the girl went to see you, she didn't know the reason for your visit, and she didn't prepare any return gift at all. The girl told you earlier, and you took out a brocade box yourself, saying that it was a holy lady. Explain that you brought it for the girl specially, and also said that the things in the brocade box are precious, as for how to use it is even more secret, that's why we were sent away."

"That's right, Miss Zikou was not with Miss Yu at that time, how do I know if Miss Yu gave me something..."

Zi Kou stomped her feet angrily, "Fourth Master, the girl really went out empty-handed at that time, and she didn't bring any gift in return."

Zhu Minchen said: "Everyone said that Miss Zikou's madness was cured on the day Master Jin got married, but today, it seems that it may not be!"

"You!" She was about to scold again, but was stopped by Xue Suilan, who said calmly, "Since Mr. Zhu keeps saying that I gave you the spices, can you take it out and see if it is my concubine?" home stuff."

When Zhu Minchen came, he was fully prepared. At this moment, he took out the box from his sleeve. It was not a brocade box, but a cinnabar box, hexagonal, which seemed to be used in Buddhist halls.

Xue Suilan sighed. When Yawangjun dressed up as a fox fairy to give Zhu Minchen spices, he was so casual and brought the cinnabar box from Saoyuxuan. I remember that they made mooncakes when Yangyang was in this box. It's used for pressing, but I still feel a little reluctant when I think about it.

Ji Xuanzhen glanced at it, and said bluntly, "This is not from my Ji family."

Zhu Mengzhen only noticed the box now, looked left and right and found it very familiar, Furuo was clever: "Girl, this looks like it is used in a Buddhist hall, I saw it in Saoyuxuan before."

"Speak up!"

Xue Suilan smiled and said: "I don't know if Sao Yuxuan has this thing, but I have been trapped by the fox fairy for three years, and there is always this box in front of the magic case, Mr. Zhu, why don't you explain it?"

Zhu Minke felt guilty, and quickly put the box into his sleeve, but he couldn't stand Xue Suilan's pursuit and beating: "Speaking of that day, Mr. Zhu did ask me about the fox fairy, and he seemed to doubt whether the fox fairy really existed. He asked me how to meet him, and I told him in a fit of anger that if I really want to see the fox fairy, I might as well go to Zhuanxiangou and guard it, but I wonder if Mr. Zhu has gone?"

While speaking, his eyes kept looking at his shoes and socks, "No matter it is cloudy, rainy or snowy, there will be mud and sand all year round in Zhuanxiangou. I wish you a very hard trip."

His shoes and socks are clean, and there is no mud or sand on them, but he always feels guilty after hearing Xue Suilan's words, and he keeps pulling his feet back. Thinking about it is wrong, and he frowned and said: "Miss Yu's words are not true. Rain and snow, the swamp under the Tripping Immortal Ditch has clearly been frozen solid."

"Oh, that's it. I wonder if there are any footprints standing on it?"

"There must be footprints, but they won't sink as usual."

His answer provoked a chuckle from Xue Suilan, only when she regained her senses did she realize something was wrong, the elder sister looked at him as if she wanted to eat him alive.

Ji Xuanzhen's face is not very good-looking either. On one side is his unmarried wife, and on the other side is his lost and recovered sister. It is difficult for anyone to win or lose in this lawsuit.

He stepped down from the hall, walked up to Zhu Minchen with his hands behind his back, and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, you'd better make it clear if you have any hidden secrets. Don't hide anything. Your eldest sister is here, and I'm here to help you." Also, you know, after the new year is over, I will marry your elder sister and we will be a family at that time, and now sitting here arguing is also for family affairs, even if you made a foolish and wronged promise just now, she will not care about it , no one cares about it, but if you believe in some evil god and do something rebellious, the consequences will be serious."

Zhu Mengzhen just came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime with confidence, but now he has been harmed by his younger brother, does he feel cheated?At this time, he didn't dare to talk rashly, afraid that he would not tell the truth, and also afraid that he would really tell some shocking truth.

"Fourth brother, don't scare him." Xue Suilan smiled, "There must be something hidden about this matter, wishing to the fox fairy is a sacrifice of blood, I wish the eldest son came from a famous family, and he practiced the method of curing diseases and saving lives, naturally I wouldn't believe in that kind of magic, or I'd have a scar on my wrist."

Zhu Minchen's shoulder was pressing on Fourth Master's hand, and his body was shaking violently.

Fourth master glanced at the wrist he was tightly protecting, and he understood, but he didn't want to be too ugly.

He could only comfort and said: "Let's talk about family affairs behind closed doors. Don't be so nervous. Even if you are confused for a while, I won't treat you like Xu Nu. After all, we are a family. But it's a big deal, you I have to tell the truth, Ke'er is already sick in bed, and I'm afraid there will be no hope for the rest of my life, do you want to continue to hide it?"

Zhu Mengzhen was about to be unable to suppress the surge of anger and blood, his eyes were flushed, and he said angrily: "Aren't you deaf, I didn't hear Si Ye's words! Why on earth are you going to trip to Xiangou? Could it be that you really want to meet some fairy fox?"

"Eldest sister..." Zhu Minchen knelt down tremblingly, "I was confused and made a big mistake. I knew it was crooked, but I couldn't help it, couldn't help it..."

"what happened?"

"I heard Miss Yu'er said that she was the fox fairy she met in Zhuanxiangou, so I wanted to try my luck. I didn't expect to see the real body of the fox fairy. Give it to me."

"Why did she give you this?"

Before Zhu Minchen could speak, Xue Suilan rushed forward: "Of course I will give you what you ask for. Mr. Zhu, please tell me what you wished for from the fox fairy."

"This..." He shook his head, it was really hard to say.

"Say it!" Zhu Mengzhen lost his patience, and slapped him on the face with a "slap", "Ke'er, because you have already become like this, what do you have to hide!"

Zhu Minchen covered his face and suppressed his sadness and said: "In the eyes of the eldest sister, he is the most important after all, and the same is true in the eyes of my father. From the very beginning, he was appointed as the head of the family, and he had high hopes for him and cultivated him carefully. But he thinks that my qualifications are mediocre, and always asks me to help him, even if I want to start a family, I have to take his needs into consideration first."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Mengzhen never thought that he would have such thoughts, "The three of us are brothers and sisters, whoever is the family is not the same, we all want to carry forward the Zhu family, why do you care about these things? "

He smiled uglier than he cried: "Am I caring? Am I caring? Eldest sister said she would choose a wife for me, but did she ever ask me what kind of wife I like? She just opened her mouth and said she wanted to choose a wife for him Sister-in-law, have you ever thought about what I am like! Even if he is stubborn and active, and has no interest in saving lives and healing the wounded, he must be forced to sit in Dong'an Hall, because that seat was reserved for him from the very beginning, elder sister, have you forgotten? You are not just his younger brother."

Zhu Mengzhen was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes, and she said powerlessly: "I never said that you are mediocre, but you are not as good as him. The nine sons of Longsheng are also different. He is good at the art of Qi and Huang, but you are delicate in mind, and you are in charge of the whole family. It's very appropriate, why bother to get along with him on this, so that he became malicious, and actually laid such a murderous hand on his own younger brother, killing each other!

Do you know that he has never had such thoughts for you?Ke'er has a pure heart, and she is most attentive to her close relatives and siblings..."

"No, no, no." He shook his head and said, "He only sees you as the elder sister, and you only see him as the younger brother. My mother gave birth to three of us, and I am the most redundant."

"Why did you say that!" Zhu Mengzhen shouted with a trembling voice, "You know that he told me a few days ago that when I get married, I will hand over the Dong'an Hall to you, and he is only in charge of taking the pulse and treating diseases, just like Ji Shitang of the Duan family, he just wants to be a pharmacist, but he doesn't want to be tricked by you! Now I wish the family has no successors, are you happy?"

"It's also because of you that I calculated him. If you weren't so biased, how could there be a rift between me and him!"

"There is no cure!" Zhu Mengzhen shook his head and said, "I think I saved half my life, but I couldn't save my brother's heart disease. Since when did you have such vicious thoughts?"

He broke his cans, and he had no scruples: "It has always been, but you are getting married soon, and you have the help of the fox fairy, so I decided to take the risk."

Ji Xuanzhen had a headache, and he was a fox fairy again. The shadow of what happened last time has not dissipated. Thinking of Xu Nu's words before he died, he felt a chill in his bones. Think deeply!

"So, the herbal fruit oil was also given to you by the fox fairy?"

Zhu Minke shook his head: "I don't know about the foreign grass fruit oil, and I have no way of knowing where he got it from. The fox fairy only gave me spices when he appeared as a saint, and asked me to wait in Dong'an hall. Two days later, the eldest sister carried him back, and he was seriously injured, only half of his life was left."

"Don't call me elder sister anymore, I don't have a younger brother like you." Zhu Mengzhen was disheartened.

Fourth Master Xing was puzzled: "If you didn't do it, who could it be?"

While talking, a young servant knocked on the door of Zhuyuan Court: "Fourth Master, is Fourth Master here? Young Master Duan came over and said he wanted to find Master Jin, but Master Jin was not there. Only the eldest and youngest mistress was in Hongying Pavilion. The servant thought they were It's not right for the two of you to meet, will fourth master come forward to receive you?"

Ji Xuanzhen supported his forehead, annoyed: "Please wait for me in the front hall."

But Zhu Mengzhen said: "Why don't you invite him to chase Yuanting, maybe he is doing it for the matter of the herbal fruit oil."

"what?!"
