Chapter 60: Suspicion and Verification

The fourth young lady frowned: "You mean to say that when she was in the back mountain, Shen Gui must have seen something, and someone didn't want Shen Gui to tell what she saw, so she would be poisoned and let her forget about what happened to Fang Cai?"

Ziyan nodded: "It should be like this." Moreover, who doesn't want Shen Gui to know so much, presumably Miss must know very well in her heart, right?"

The fourth lady couldn't help gritting her teeth: "That Gu Xiaowu dares to even calculate my girl!"

Ziyan said: "The slave maid heard that the fifth lady has made a medicinal herb garden in the back garden, and no one is allowed to approach it. Maybe there's Manju Sawa planted there. ”

The fourth young lady was about to stand up and go to Gu Zhirong's theory. However, after all, she is not an impulsive person, her brain turned two more times, and she vaguely felt that something was wrong: "Ziyan, you said, if Shen Gui was really poisoned by Manzhu Shahua, her consciousness should not be so clear, right? I think she is not poisoned......

Ziyan couldn't help but look outside. She also felt strange, it stands to reason that anyone who is poisoned will have some symptoms, especially Manzhu Sahua, who is rumored to be poisoned by Manzhu Sahua, even if it is slightly poisonous, it will also manifest as sluggish reaction, slurred speech, etc. But looking at Shen Gui's current situation, he is no different from usual, but the memory of Fang Cai in the back mountain seems to have been washed away.

Ziyan thought for a moment before she said cautiously, "The slave maid is just a few speculations based on hearsay, and I can't be sure whether or not I have been poisoned by Manzhu Sahua. But Miss, have you forgotten? We are now in the back mountain of the Hanging Ji Temple, what does this Hanging Ji Temple do, the name of the temple is such a name, in addition to giving people tribute incense and vows, there is also the meaning of the Hanging Pot Ji Temple. ”

The fourth lady didn't seem to have delved into the origin of the name of the Hangji Temple, and when she heard Ziyan say this, she couldn't help but say "Oh?".

Ziyan continued: "Although there are full-time doctors in our house, in case of serious illnesses or incurable diseases, the old lady directly handed over a post to the Taiyi Pavilion and asked the Tai Doctors to come over for diagnosis and treatment. But for civilians, there are no such conditions. The slaves' brothers and sisters-in-law were all poor families, and they said that when they were sick, they looked down on the doctors, and they would come to the Hangji Temple, ask for two or three pairs of herbs, and go back to boil water to drink. It's strange to say, it's really a miracle, but in three days, the illness is all cured. Therefore, the name of this Hangji Temple has been spread in the countryside in the vicinity. Especially the abbot with the Dharma name Mingkong, his medical skills are even more superb, and he is also among the best in the world. The emperor also wanted to invite him into the palace to preside over the Imperial Doctor's Pavilion, but unfortunately he was a monk who entered the empty door, so that's it. ”

"Is it so magical?" the fourth lady was very surprised.

Ziyan glanced outside and said, "Miss, since we are all here, we might as well take Shen Gui to Master Mingkong for a consultation, and see what kind of disease we have, so we can rest assured." ”

The fourth lady pondered for a while and nodded: "That's fine." ”

What she thought to herself was that a good person suddenly lost his memory, which really sounded unbelievable. After all, it's a girl who follows him and is inseparable from him, in case he is tricked, it will be troublesome to cut himself with a knife, so it's better to find out.

Ziyan then went out of the pavilion, called Shen Gui up, and asked her in detail about the situation on the mountain just now, how she came here, and what she saw. Sure enough, Shen Gui couldn't remember anything at all.

Ziyan had a bottom in her heart, pulled Shen Gui down the mountain, and together with the fourth lady, she went straight to Master Mingkong's meditation room.

Mingkong is the abbot of Hangji Temple, and after doing a morning class in the morning, he no longer recites sutras in the afternoon, but receives some prominent figures who come and go. In recent years, the Yuanning Hou Mansion has also donated a lot of incense money to the Hanging Ji Temple, and when Mingkong heard that Miss Gu Si was coming, he asked the novice on duty to invite them into the meditation room.

As soon as Miss Gu Si and the others entered the meditation room, they only felt a burst of quiet sandalwood rushing towards them, refreshing people's hearts and lungs, and the indescribable comfort of the whole body, swept away the irritability that had just been exposed to anger and the fiery sun in the back mountain.

The Zen room is not only one zhang square, but also about two zhang large, which can be regarded as very spacious. There are not many furnishings, there are several small statues of gods in front of them, and the slender incense is curling, revealing tranquility. The mahogany armchair facing downwards is simple and generous, which is convenient for those who come to ask for advice. There is a screen on the right side, and you will find the dormitory through it. The windows are ajar to see the swaying bamboo leaves outside. Anyway, it's an elegant place.

Mingkong sat in it, an old monk over seventy years old. The body is lean, the clothes look a little empty, the beard and hair are all white, and the spirit is strong, especially the eyes that look kind and benevolent.

The fourth lady sat down, didn't talk nonsense, and said straightforwardly: "I have heard that Master Mingkong's medical skills are superb, I came here today, and I want to ask Master Mingkong to show my maid a look, what kind of disease is it?"

After speaking, he motioned to Ziyan to push Shen Gui in front of Master Mingkong.

Shen Gui was stunned for a moment, she didn't know why she was sick, she looked at the fourth lady nervously: "Miss, the slave didn't..."

Master Mingkong looked at Shen Gui's face carefully, silent, and his expression seemed to be a little dignified.

Ziyan interjected: "Master Mingkong, look at Shen Gui, this girl, went up the back mountain, but she didn't remember anything, she didn't even know how she got there, and she couldn't tell her if she asked her." Master, do you see that she has some strange disease? I have heard that the same is true of those who have been poisoned by Manju Sahua......

Master Mingkong was slightly surprised, he didn't seem to expect that a little girl in the inner house actually knew about Manzhu Sawa, he smiled slightly: "This girl thinks too much, right? Manzhu Sawa is the flower of hell, and it is rare to see it on weekdays." The mountain behind my Hangji Temple is a barren mountain, and there are some wild flowers and weeds, where did you come from? I look at your appearance......

Mingkong checked Shen Gui's pulse, and then added: "Yes, there is a small stream in the mountain behind the temple, and if you go up the mountain from there, you must pass through the road, where in recent years, a kind of jellyfish has floated from nowhere, which is poisonous, and if you accidentally step on the water and are stung, you will have symptoms of temporary fainting." However, the onset of toxicity is slower, and it often takes about half an hour for the onset to occur. The old man just looked at this girl's symptoms, but they were somewhat similar to this one......"

Shen Gui suddenly woke up: "Yes, miss, the slave seems to remember that when the slave and the girl went up the mountain with Ziyan, it seemed to slip, and they might have been stung by a jellyfish."

Seeing Shen Gui say this, the fourth lady had nothing to say. It's just for a girl, she actually begged in front of Master Mingkong, and when she found out, she was just stung by a jellyfish, and she felt very shameless when she said it. She turned her head to look at Shen Gui, and had to reprimand in a low voice: "You dead girl, why are you so careless!"

Mingkong smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, this jellyfish is very toxic, and it's just fainting, it's not a big deal." Wait for the old man to prescribe some calming medicine, grab a pair or two for this girl, and rest well, it will be fine. ”

After speaking, Mingkong took the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and opened a prescription after a few brushes, Ziyan took it, thanked him, and the fourth lady said some more disturbing words, and then got up and said goodbye and went out.

Watching the fourth lady and the others go out, Master Mingkong's expression became more solemn. He was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly.

At this time, a figure flashed on the edge of the half-open windowsill, and then a faint voice came in: "What a respected master of the clear sky, when did he learn to deceive people?"
