"Such an expensive thing, I can't afford it elsewhere," Bean Sprouts said: "I checked, in Yuning, only Taiqing Palace can afford that kind of high-end goods." ”

I was stunned for a moment: "You say...... Taiqing Palace? ”

Bean sprouts nodded and said, "Yes, that spice is an ancient recipe from India, and we don't have it here, and except for that kind of religious holy place, we can't afford it anywhere else!" Even the smaller temples and Taoist temples can't afford to use, only the Taiqing Palace, the incense is prosperous, the rich are very rich, as long as it is related to the offerings, all the best ones are bought. ”

"Okay, thank you!" I hung up the phone and looked at Cheng Ke, Cheng Ke naturally heard the content of the phone, twisted Yingting's brows, and said, "Yes...... Then let's go to Taiqing Palace. ”

Holding Cheng Ke's hand, I was puzzled in my heart, to say that it has something to do with other places, it is conceivable, but how can this be related to Taiqing Palace?

Last time, the Du family came to me to settle accounts, even if it was an old friend of the ghost keeper in Tanshen Town, the head of the Xuping Daoist did not lend a hand, just because he was afraid that the Taiqing Palace would also be involved in this chaos, but if those people in black really have something to do with the Taiqing Palace......

Forget it, I couldn't think of anything after thinking about it, so Cheng Ke and I went all the way to the direction of Taiqing Palace.

Now is a cool autumn time, faintly windy, Cheng Ke walked on the side where the wind came, and naturally blocked me, the bangs on his smooth forehead fluttered gently, it was really picturesque.

Paying attention to me looking at him, he turned his head sideways: "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing ......"

But at that moment, I forgot that he was actually dead.

It's like an ordinary couple walking side by side, except for the cold hands, there is nothing else unusual.

That's good, that's good.

"I can't enter the Taiqing Palace." Cheng Ke hesitated for a moment and said, "So ......"

"It's okay, I can get in." I said, "And that place, where it's full of people, won't be in any danger, you just wait for me outside." ”

"I'm not at ease." Cheng Ke suddenly said: "You contact Li Minglang and let him take you." ”

Cheng Ke, who has always been very incompatible with Li Minglang, actually relented.

I said, "Since it's to check the affairs of the Taiqing Palace, wouldn't it be inconvenient?" ”

"He's stupid." Cheng Ke said: "So, looking at him like that, you can just find an excuse." ”

Li Minglang heard it, what would he think? Probably...... Let's start fighting with Cheng Ke again.

When I arrived at the Taiqing Palace, I remembered that today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and the Taiqing Palace was crowded with people who came to pray for blessings, and it was the same as rushing to the temple fair, no wonder the Taiqing Palace could be so rich, and it could afford three and a half dollars, and it was estimated that the incense money must be very rich.

It happened that there was a little Taoist priest at the door who welcomed others, and I successfully crossed the big threshold, turned around and shook my hand with Cheng Ke.

Cheng Ke nodded, a person who is usually so calm, his good-looking face actually brought a little unease.

There are all kinds of people who come to Taiqing Palace to pray for blessings, the old people ask for physical safety, the young people ask for a smooth career, and the young men and girls ask for the consummation of love, which is really a hundred kinds of life.

squeezed in, only to remember that he hadn't called Li Minglang yet, and when he called, no one answered.

Strange, could it be that Li Minglang is also busy today because of the fifteenth?

When I saw the little Taoist priest guiding the pilgrims, I went over and asked, "Which god statue here of you is offering three and a half coins?" ”

"What?" The little Taoist priest didn't understand what I was saying at all, scratched his head, and said, "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, I don't understand what the layman said. ”

Eh...... Even the little Taoist priest doesn't know about three and a half coins, it must be a particularly important place to smell it.

I had no choice but to squeeze in along the flow of people, pass the main hall, and smell carefully, because of the power of the Yin and Yang Ghost Technique, borrowed Cheng Ke's sense of smell, but I could distinguish it, although they were all incense sticks, but those incense were not the taste of three and a half dollars, some were more fragrant, and some were lighter.

However, the smoke is thick and the aroma of flowers and fruits is mixed in with it, so it is very difficult to smell.

I walked along the main hall all over again, but I found nothing, I was a little discouraged, and suddenly at this time, someone patted me on the shoulder: "Oh, are you here to find Minglang?" ”

I looked back and saw that it was the long-lost Chuyang Daoist, so I greeted: "Chuyang Daoist, you are also here?" ”

"It's fifteen, and the master and brother are too busy to come, so I'll come over and help." The head of the Chuyang Dao said ambiguously: "I heard that your family is going to let you get engaged to Minglang?" You really stepped on the gold bricks, don't look at Minglang's appearance, their family is quite rich, that kid likes you again, anyway, you are a lay disciple, when you get married, you can be a young grandmother, don't forget to meet the wealthy Kuotai, introduced to me, the business is guaranteed. ”

"This is a misunderstanding by the Chuyang Daoist," I quickly waved my hand and said, "My grandfather is talking nonsense, don't worry about him, by the way, what about Li Minglang?" ”

"I didn't see him today, I thought it was because you came back, and he went looking for you." The head of the Chu Yang Dao seemed to remember something and asked, "What about your fierce ghost?" Are you willing to put it out today? ”

I said curtly: "The head of the Chuyang Dao knows that he can't come in. ”

"That's right, our Taiqing Palace, it's a thousand-year-old temple, and no demons and monsters can enter." The head of Chuyang Dao proudly introduced: "Since the Western Song Dynasty, our Taiqing Palace has been a ......."

It wasn't good to interrupt him, and I finally waited for the Chuyang Daoist to finish talking about the glorious history of the Taiqing Palace, and then I asked: "Chuyang Daoist, I want to ask, do you know what three and a half coins are?" ”

"Three and a half cents?" The head of the Chuyang Dao was also stunned: "What is that?" Signal? ”

Sure enough, even the head of the Chuyang Dao didn't know......

"Anyway, you're here, I'll take you to Minglang, right?" The head of Chuyang Dao dragged me inside very enthusiastically: "You don't know, since that kid fell in love with you, he thinks about it day and night like a star-chasing clan, and he probably has several spring dreams......

I felt embarrassed for a while, but it was even more unbearable to say this: "No, no, no, in fact, there is nothing else......"

"Oh, anyway, your jealous ghost is not here, just take advantage of this opportunity to cultivate and cultivate a relationship with Minglang......" Chuyang Daoist only cared about dragging me to the back: "He is not in the front, he must be behind the main hall, don't you know, his grandfather's old man, he can't spend a few lifetimes with a lot of money......"

No matter how hard he struggled, he didn't struggle away, and he was really embarrassed to put him down on the spot, so he dragged him to the back.

Behind the main hall is also an antique building, a bit like a bungalow like a courtyard house in the capital, a color of lead gray, neat and square, very historical.

"Minglang, Minglang, look who's coming!" The head of the Chuyang Dao shouted: "Come out quickly!" ”

"This is your ......" thought about it, and didn't know if the word "dormitory" was appropriate, so he didn't say it, but the head of the Chuyang Dao said: "That's right, we live here, and it is estimated that we will not come out this day, so we must be in it to think about spring!" I was young, I never talked about a girlfriend, and you understand, the original is a virgin......"

I was embarrassed again, and was just about to speak, when suddenly, a very faint smell of three and a half coins rushed over!

Over here!

"Bright, bright?" The head of the Chuyang Daoist let go of my hand and went into a house: "Are you up?" When is this all ......?"

And the taste of the three and a half coins is very subtle, it is simply fleeting, I am afraid that I will miss it, and I don't care to say hello to the head of the Chuyang Dao, so I quickly chased after the taste.

The smell was blown by a gust of wind, and the wind direction was southeast.

I quickly searched against the wind, and sure enough, against the wind, the smell became stronger and stronger, and I followed the smell to find it, and suddenly I felt like a hunting dog.

Phew, I'm not a dog.

Dispelled the cranky thoughts, all the way to the inside, this place has a thin small alley, it is actually quite intricate, along those small alleys to find the inside, sure enough, I found a small courtyard, the fragrance of three and a half dollars is from the locked gate here!

There are couplets on the outside of this room, and it is locked, not like an ordinary dormitory, I thought about it, is this place inhabited, or is it ......

I looked around, and there was no one else here, and I knew it would be risky to go in alone, but ...... After all, it is related to those black-clothed people who killed the ghost cultivator, how can they talk to Li Minglang about such a thing?

Or...... Jump over the wall and take a look?

It's another gamble, and I can't say what awaits me behind the wall.

But now, there is no way, I neatly stepped on the stone lion at the door and climbed in from the low wall.

When I arrived in the courtyard, I thought to myself, the incense was still lit, but the door was locked, indicating that even if the people inside went out, they had just left and would not come back for the time being.

Looking at the courtyard, I kept an eye on it first, and did not break into the door directly, but took advantage of the fact that this place was a wooden door frame, and I could find a gap, so I squatted under the corner of the wall, found a small hole, and looked inside from the small hole.

But the light outside is too strong, and when you look inside from the outside, it's all black holes, and you can't see anything clearly.

Weird...... At least you should be able to see the red fire of the incense stick...... I furrowed my brow, and suddenly I noticed the black inside, and flickered.

My scalp tingled for a while, and then I reacted, the reason why what I saw in that gap was black was precisely because there was also a black eye in the room, just like me, was looking out through this small hole!
