Lu Tong returned to the house at the end of the corridor and knocked lightly on the door.

The silver kite, who was waiting at the door, quickly opened the door and walked in quickly.

Yinzheng looked at her a little nervously: "The girl is done?" ”

Lu Tong let out a "hmm".

Yinzheng breathed a sigh of relief, and helped Lu Hitomi take off the cloak on his body, peeled off the oilcloth on the outermost part of his shoes, and took it to the fire to burn it finely.

"Girl, that fragrant ......," Yinzheng asked again.

"When I came back, I threw it into the ditch, and it rained heavily tonight, and the water washed away, leaving no trace."

Yinzheng nodded, completely relieved this time: "That's good." ”

The house of Wuhuai Garden, beyond the forest path in front, can directly lead to the abandoned side hall of Wan'en Temple. The road is a little detoured, but it is better to be hidden. When I heard Du Changqing mention his naughty and playful behavior when he was a child, Lu Tong remembered it in his heart.

Over the years, the path hasn't changed.

The burned out "Katsu Qianzhen" in the shrine has been poured out by her, and the ordinary incense ash has been replaced, and the incense ash of "Katsu Qianzhen" has already been thrown into the ditch, and there is no trace of it after the heavy rain tonight.

As for Ke Chengxing......

Lu Tong changed out of his middle coat and asked Yinzheng, "How is Wanfu?" ”

"I've been back a long time ago." Yinzheng replied in a low voice, "The subordinates in the same corner courtyard are playing leaf cards." ”

Lu Tong nodded and walked to the couch: "Sleep." ”

Yinzheng was stunned: "This is sleeping?" She was full of questions and wanted to ask Lu Tong, but seeing that Lu Tong had already gone to the bed, she had to give up. As soon as the smoke of burning oil paper in the house blew away, Yinzheng closed the window, turned off the lights again, and climbed to sleep on the couch himself.

Maybe it's a good sleep on a rainy day, or maybe it's the sound of the Buddhist temple bell, this time Lu Tong slept very deeply.

She had a long dream.

In the dream, it was the first year that she had just followed Yun Niang to Luomei Peak.

Luomei Peak is very beautiful, in winter, the snow is full of mountains, the red shoots press the branches, there is poetry everywhere, a ridge is plum blossoms.

Yun Niang was wearing a peach-colored mink fur jacket, her black hair was pulled into a high bun, and she was sitting in front of the hospital boiling medicine.

The bitter aroma of the decoction filled the tip of her nose, and Lu Tong sat on the small pestle in the room, silently waiting for Yun Niang to boil the new medicine and serve it to her.

There is a beautiful purple sand incense burner on the table, which Yun Niang bought from the bottom of the mountain, and there are thin incense sticks in it, and the fragrance is rich and deep.

She waited for half an hour, but before Yun Niang let her try the medicine, Yun Niang asked her to go to the mountainside to pick some Sichuan Wu and come back.

At this time, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and when you come back from collecting medicine on the mountainside, it must be very late. Inevitably delaying the time, Lu Tong hurriedly rushed to the bottom of the mountain with a bamboo basket on his back.

She was afraid that her movements would be slow, and when she returned, it would be dark, and wild beasts often appeared at night on the winter mountains, and it would be very dangerous if she encountered wild wolves circling outside.

Who knew that when he finished picking herbs and walked back, Lu Tong's body suddenly weakened and fell to the ground.

She couldn't walk, and she couldn't scream for help. Struggling to climb into a muddy field, he could no longer move, and watched as the moon rose from the hollow of the mountain as the sky darkened.

It was covered with snow and turned silvery, and the red plums in the distance were like blood. She heard a wolf howling in the woods, and in the adjacent cemetery, blue-purple phosphorus fires gradually lit up, one after another, and the ghost fire flickered.

Lu Tong was so frightened that he trembled all over, couldn't move, couldn't scream, was cold and hungry, like a stiff corpse in the field graves, gritted his teeth and endured until dawn.

The next day, it was getting dark. Lu Tong stiffened up and down like a stone, but Xu was dressed bulkily when she went out, and she didn't freeze to death. And because of the ghost fire and ghost of this cemetery, the beasts did not dare to come, and they saved their lives by mistake.

When dragging the bamboo basket back to the small courtyard, Yun Niang was sitting at the table eating breakfast, the red bean glutinous rice cake that had just come out of the pot was steaming, and the lotus heart drink was added with honey to remove the bitterness.

She was a little surprised when she saw Lu Tong, who was embarrassed, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then walked up to Lu Tong, looked at Lu Tong, and asked, "How did you make this look?" ”

Lu Tong Muran replied: "...... Halfway through, I suddenly lost my strength and couldn't speak. ”

Yun Niang carefully interrogated her about the situation at that time, and then smiled happily: "In this way, the new medicine is considered a success." ”

She picked up the delicate purple sand incense burner on the table, sniffed it intoxicated, and said: "I finished this cigarette yesterday, I don't know how effective it is, I didn't expect you to smell it for a while, and you will have a reaction when you get to the bottom of the mountain." But we have to change it again, and it will work faster. ”

She pondered the newly made poisonous smoke, and after a long time, she saw Lu Tong standing on the side, and then said to Lu Tong and Yan Yuese: "You are blessed that you were not frozen to death like this." You've worked hard this time, there's food on the table, go eat it. ”

Lu Tongmu replied, climbed onto the stool, grabbed the glutinous rice cake on the table and devoured it.

She was so hungry and too cold.

Yun Niang behind her continued to speak: "My body is stiff and numb, I can't move, I am more sober, and I am like I am drunk, which is better than drinking all the spirits of a thousand people." It's better to call it 'Shengqianzhen'. ”

Katsu Qianzhen......

There seemed to be a distant bell in his ears, and with the screams and shouts of people, Lu Tong opened his eyes suddenly.

Daylight filtered through the cracks in the carved wooden windows, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

After a night of rain, the sun rises and the sky is clear.

Yinzheng hurried in from outside: "Girl, something happened. ”

Lu Tong looked at her.

She whispered, "There are dead people in the temple." ”

A man died in the Temple of Man'en.

It rained overnight last night, the mountain temple was quiet, and this morning when the monks went to the temple to move the turtles and turtles to be released at the festival, they found that a person had drowned in the water tank in the temple.

This incident alarmed the whole temple, the night before the Qinglian Festival, the dead people in the Buddha hall, no matter how you look at it, it is a bad omen.

When Lu Tong and Yin Zheng went out of the room, they saw that there was a noise in the Wuhuai Garden, and when the pilgrims heard about it, they all came out of the room, and everyone was frightened.

Someone next door was asking, "Did you hear that?" Someone died in the temple last night, and we still have no Huaiyuan! ”

Another human: "Our side? Who is it? ”

"I don't know, the messenger is questioning. Amitabha, why did he die at this time? ”

Lu Tong turned a deaf ear to the discussion in his ears, and only looked ahead, where a soap-clothed messenger was hurrying to the side hall.

was looking at it, and suddenly a voice came from behind him: "Doctor Lu? ”

Lu Tong paused and turned to look.

I saw the entrance of Wuhuai Garden, the sun was shining, in the shade of the weeping willows, leaning on a young man wearing a black round neck and narrow sleeves brocade robe, black hair tied up with a golden crown, jade and gold, born very well.

He pinched a cluster of new willow branches in his hand, and when he saw Lu Tong looking over, he smiled and said, "Meet again." ”

Lu Tong was slightly stunned.

It turned out to be the prince of Zhaoning, the commander of the right army in front of the palace, Pei Yunyi.
