Chapter 150: The Spies Arrive

That night, Qiao Lan entered the space again.

She held the Jade Buddha in one hand and the Jade Ruyi in the other, but to her surprise, the things in her hand did not disappear, that is, her space did not absorb them.

"It's not a fake. "Space doesn't absorb artificial jade, but it's not a future generation where everything can be counterfeited. She placed the Jade Buddha and Jade Ruyi on the ground, allowing them to touch the space directly, and the result was the same...... Is it invalid? Or is it at full level?!

Qiao Lan took the Jade Buddha and the Jade Ruyi, looked around, and finally focused her eyes on the spring water, she had a very strong idea, that is, to put the things in her hand into the spring water.

It's better to act quickly than to be excited.

The Jade Buddha and Jade Ruyi were locked up in the spring water, then sank to the bottom, slowly becoming transparent, and finally disappeared. In this regard, Qiao Lan had a feeling that this was indeed the case. It's the same absorption, but it's much cuter than the previous indiscriminate absorption. In the jewelry box, jewelry such as gold inlaid with jade, silver inlaid with jade, etc., the jade is gone, leaving an empty shell, so ugly that there are no friends.

Two jade artifacts were absorbed, but the spring water didn't seem to change. She picked up a handful of water with her hand and took a few sips, the taste was the same as before, the space did not change, and her mental power was the same as always.

Before the end of the world, the space absorbed a lot of jade before it was upgraded by two levels, and the two pieces of jade really didn't play a role. Qiao Lan put down the plan to collect jade and throw it into the spring water, the space is enough, and there is no need to rush to upgrade, but the more critical reason is that although jade with a good head is not as expensive as in later generations, it is not cheap. The money on hand was sufficient, and there was nothing left for her to squander.

Feng Qixiang should have a lot of top-grade jade there, this thought flashed in Qiao Lan's mind, and she was immediately dispelled, thinking about what he had in his hand was tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger.

Qiao Lan left the space from the spring with a few water bladders, she didn't notice that when she got up to leave, a tender bud quietly grew in the spring.

Qiao Lan didn't know that there was a new member in her space. I didn't know that the Fang family, who was far away in Tongzhou, was staging a bloody drama.

Fang Dingkuang's eldest brother died young. The younger brother is not in good health, and the other concubines are not enough to see at all, the Fang family will be his sooner or later, but he is for Qiao Lan. It was actually arranged in advance. I want to take the helm of the Fang family first. His father, Fang Yunchang, the head of the Fang family, had already taken precautions because of his broken sleeves, and Jiang was still old and spicy, so Fang Dingkuang was placed under house arrest.

Fang Dingkuang is the most competitive junior of the Fang family. Fang Yunchang is his father and the head of the Fang family, so he won't really do anything to him, but he just has a deep sense of powerlessness of "being angry with him". He put down his words, as long as Fang Dingkuang is willing to take a wife and have children, he can make any fools around in the future.

Breaking sleeves is contrary to the way of heaven, and most people have an attitude of rejection of it, but if this matter falls on the powerful, the tolerance of the world will be infinitely magnified, and even regard it as a fashion, so there is no conflict between marrying a wife and having children in the circle of the powerful and raising a child.

Looking at the gray-haired father, the teary-eyed old lady and the frail and sickly younger brother, as well as the cousins who were secretly ready to move, Fang Dingkuang inevitably compromised...... He really thought that after marrying a wife, he could go to the person on the tip of his heart, he hoped to be a brother with "him", "he" wanted to marry a wife and have children, no matter how sad he was, he would agree.

Fang Dingkuang thought very beautifully, but he didn't know that he was digging his own grave, and even cut off the only way back.

In order to let Fang Dingkuang get married as soon as possible, the Fang family did not care about the height of the lintel, and within a few days, they made a secret visit, and finally decided that Xu Bixia, the eldest daughter of Lord Xu, the governor of Tongzhou, would choose a day to complete the marriage......

Qiao Lan didn't know that someone was hastily marrying for her, she was thinking about the monk of the Great Buddha Temple coming over tomorrow. She couldn't imagine what those people would do, maybe not on the surface, but that didn't mean they wouldn't do it......

The true face of the Big Buddha Temple, only Qiao Lan and Ye Feitian know, she didn't make any arrangements, this home is very simple, it is clear at a glance, and doing too much will only backfire.

Qiao Lan comforted herself and fell asleep.

The next morning, when Qiao Lan got up to freshen up, she noticed the Buddha beads in her hand, she thought for a while, this string of Buddha beads is a bit strange, and it is still an object of Master Chen, so it is better not to let the people of the Big Buddha Temple see it.

She personally went to the wardrobe to find a set of thick winter clothes to change into, and the sleeves of the winter clothes were relatively narrow, so that she could pocket the Buddha beads.

Yu Dana didn't go to the West Bank today, he and Mama Liu set up the Dharma Field Dojo in the front yard.

In the morning, three monks came to Qiao's house, two of them were monks who had come to the door to turn their fortunes, and as for the other monk, he had white eyebrows, but he was blind, and this blind monk was also the uncle of the other two monks, and his name was Huiyuan.

Qiao Lan entertained the three of Huiyuan accompanied by Yu Dana, and exchanged pleasantries with each other for a while. Qiao Lan was not very enthusiastic, nor did she snub them, and even took the initiative to mention that at the end of August, when she lit an ever-bright lamp in the Big Buddha Temple, in short, everything was in order, and the three of them also behaved impeccably.

After eating fast, the three of them entered the Dharma Master's Dojo and began to chant sutras.

Qiao Lan didn't have to meditate, but it was not easy to sit down, so she could only stand far away, and next to her were Yu Dana and Ye Feitian.

In her previous life, Qiao Lan was atheist, and after crossing over, she didn't have any understanding of Buddhism, so the gentle scriptures of the three monks and the sound of the wooden fish always in the same key were as effective as a lullaby for her.

Qiao Lan really wanted to diverge her spiritual power to see if there was any movement in Qiao's house, but she didn't dare to act rashly, so she could only honestly accept the hypnosis of the scriptures.

The two monks were facing away from her, and they didn't have eyes behind their heads, and the old monk named Huiyuan was facing her sideways, but he was blind, at least on the surface. Qiao Lan continued to be drowsy, but she was vigilant in her heart: Is there a fourth or fifth person here?

She didn't dare to diverge her spiritual power, for fear that these monks really had some strange power and ability to detect it.

Yu Dana found Qiao Lan's predicament and persuaded, "Master, go and take a break." ”

"No!"

It is said that monks can chant for several hours without eating or drinking, just when Qiao Lan wondered if the three monks were going to continue to recite like this, Huiyuan stood up with the wooden fish, knocked as he walked, walked around the entire Dharma dojo three times, and then put down the wooden fish, stained it with willow leaves, and shook it around...... He tinkered for a while before signaling Qiao Lan to go over and clean his hands and incense.

Qiao Lan walked over slowly, she had an illusion that Huiyuan could actually "see", and when the eyes that only left the whites of her eyes looked over, her spine was faintly cold: calm, calm, calm......

Walking into the dojo, Qiao Lan was about to clean her hands, and the inexplicable gaze that adhered to her body had already formed a substance, focusing on her left wrist. She immediately rolled up her sleeves to reveal the beads on her wrists, and then put her whole hands into the basin to scrub them...... I don't know how devout she is, and she cleans her hands so sincerely, and many people mean it when they clean their hands, especially when it's cold......

As soon as the Buddhist beads in Qiao Lan's hand appeared, Huiyuan, who was a few steps away, stiffened slightly, and the look of disappointment on his face flashed, but he quickly returned to normal.

The water was a little cold, and Qiao Lan's hands were frozen red, but the sight that was glued to her had disappeared, and she felt relaxed for no reason.

Three incense sticks in a row, her business is over, thank you Huiyuan is about to leave, Huiyuan actually asked whether to let the big Buddha temple name prayer (that is, light the lantern) of the Liang Mao flower also incense, some people are extremely taboo female dependents appear in this kind of scene, one has always been only a man's dependence, unbearable, two is also to avoid suspicion.

Qiao Lan was not unwilling, she believed that the appearance of Liang Maohua would make this "spy" monk more convincing. Qiao Lan made a gesture of embarrassment, but still asked Yu Dana to go to the weeping flower gate to call Mama Liu out.

Today, Liang Maohua also got up early, and from the beginning of the ritual in the front yard, she went to the small Buddha hall to recite the scriptures. She's so religious.

Mama Liu came in and said that Qiao Lan asked her to go out to make incense, she was so excited that she couldn't speak, and hurriedly changed into a more ceremonious dress with the assistance of Mama Liu.

has been the master of Qiao's family for so long, she still can't change the inferiority complex in her bones, and when she saw that Huiyuan was even more like a god, she almost knelt down and bowed three times and nine times, and Qiao Lan on the side was full of black lines, and wanted to support her forehead.

Qiao Lan really wanted to use a stick to hold up her cheap mother's back.

I can only think about tying a stick or something, but Qiao Lan still stepped forward at the right time to stop her cheap girl from groveling. She briefly introduced Huiyuan and the others, and explained the reason for calling her out.

Liang Maohua was naturally very grateful, because she was too excited, and when she cleaned her hands, her hands were still trembling slightly. She soaked her hands in a basin of water and washed and washed them more thoroughly than Qiao Lan had just washed, and then she put three sticks of incense on it with great reverence.

Liang Maohua is a devout believer, but also timid and afraid. The Big Buddha Temple supports her ever-bright lamp (hey, hey, that's silver, three hundred taels), she seems to be grateful to Dade is not enough, such a person will perineum the Big Buddha Temple, hehe, don't make trouble.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Qiao Lan felt that the atmosphere at the scene was a little more relaxed.

After the incense, Liang Maohua went back to the inner courtyard satisfied, while Qiao Lan walked back to the sidelines, and the ritual continued in the second half.

Yu Dana was worried about Qiao Lan's body and persuaded her to rest. Qiao Lan wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but people came to pray for you, and you fell ill on the spot, isn't this a slap in the face, more is better than less. All she wanted was to turn the page amicably.

Qiao Lan's hand had warmed up, but Yu Dana was not at ease, so someone brought her ginger tea to ward off the cold.

After another half an hour, Qiao Lan had to leave, she was tired...... In short, if you are not tired, you have to be tired, stupidly clubbing, listening to the monk's chanting, her small body insists on an hour is the limit.

The three monks chanted until noon, and then had another meal, and Qiao Lan sent them to the door as the head of the family.

Hui Yuan led the two teachers and nephews out of the Eastern District, and three more monks joined them, and after staggering their eyes with each other, they walked out of the town together. (To be continued......)
