Chapter 47: Not a mortal thing
Early in the morning, Ji Yao and Mu Fan left the Nian Mansion, leaving only a note on the table, lest the Nian Mansion think they were gone.
The boy drove the carriage leisurely on the road to Changji Temple, humming a sentence or two from time to time.
"Is Tong Tong happy?" Ji Yao's voice came from inside the car.
"Hehe, miss, don't you know, the boy has made a big deal in the Nianfu. The boy's tone rose, and he couldn't hide his joy.
"Oh, big deal?"
"Yes, last night I caught fish in the pond of Nianfu, and found a super big goldfish, that goldfish is a little good, but unfortunately not as good as me, I can only obediently beg for mercy, now I am his head, as long as I am in the town of Huji, he has to send me fish. ”
Goldfish? Or a goldfish of cultivation. Ji Yao thought back to the pool in Nianfu, she had passed through the pool a few times, and it was very ordinary, but she didn't expect that there was actually a cultivated fish essence.
Goldfish, hehe, maybe it's a sign.
Changji Temple is on the outskirts of the town, not far away, and usually people in the town will come here to burn incense and worship the Buddha.
After getting out of the carriage, Ji Yao and Mu Fan walked into the temple.
Today is not a special day, and there are not many people who put incense, but it allows Ji Yao to observe carefully with Mu Fan.
A golden Buddha in the middle of the temple is particularly eye-catching. The height has almost reached the top of the temple. The golden Buddha has soft eyes, a smile on his face, and a rosary in his hand. Under the body of the Buddha is a giant lotus in full bloom, the lotus petals are stacked on top of each other, and the workmanship is extremely meticulous.
Ji Yao took a closer look and saw that the outermost lotus flower was engraved with the word "year".
"This year?" Ji Yao asked curiously.
"Donor, this golden Buddha is a golden body that the old man paid for repair, so it was carved for a year. The little monk on the side said.
"The old man is dedicated to goodness. Mu Fan nodded.
"The old man is a great good man, that is, our Changji Temple, but also the old man paid for the reconstruction, every year the old man will come here to pray for blessings, the temple will hold a charity meeting, the old man is also the first to donate money and materials. ”
Ji Yao nodded, it seems that the old man is still a good person this year.
"Oh, by the way, little monk, do you know the spices that Nianfu often offers in the temple?" asked the little monk.
"Spices, yes, I have some for now, and I want to send them to last year's government. The little monk thought for a moment and said.
"That's right, I'm the doctor of Nianfu, and the spices I sent last time were a bit trendy, this time I came to your temple to see how those spices were, can you take us to see them?"
The little monk didn't doubt it, so he took Ji Yao and them to the place where the incense was offered.
Mu Fan dipped some incense and sniffed it carefully, and Ji Yao also dipped it and checked it.
"It seems a little different. Ji Yao looked up at Mu Fan.
"What did you find?" Mu Fan asked.
"This incense is a little different from the incense that Madame Miaofu sent me, it seems, something is missing. Ji Yao frowned, the spices in the temple looked basically the same as those sent by Mrs. Miaofu, even the fragrance, it was almost the same, but she and Mu Fan were originally studying medicine, so they were particularly sensitive to smells, and there was an extra taste in the spices sent by Mrs. Miaofu.
"There is no problem with the incense in this temple, but the spices that can be sent to the Nianfu have been added with an extra taste. Mu Fan flicked his fingertips, and the spices on it slipped off.
"It's a little bit more. Ji Yao thought about any possible things that came to mind in her mind, but they didn't match the number, this smell, she had never smelled it, maybe something she hadn't seen yet.
There was nothing to check in Changji Temple, and the two drove back to the Nian Mansion in a carriage.
"Master Ji, you're back!" As soon as the two got out of the carriage, Lu An ran up panting.
"What's wrong?" Ji Yao looked at Lu An.
"Sixth lady, body, body is not well!"
Hearing this, Ji Yao and Mu Fan hurriedly rushed to Mrs. Miaofu's courtyard.
There were many people in the courtyard, and several of the old man's wives and young lady Nian were standing anxiously in the courtyard. Inside, the shouts of Mrs. were heard from time to time.
"Go, go away, don't come here!"
Ji Yao hurriedly went upstairs and rushed directly into Mrs. Miaofu's bedroom.
The house was in shambles. Mrs. Miaofu wore only an undershirt, and shrunk in the corner, her mouth constantly thinking, and her eyes were flustered and she didn't know where to look. The old man stood on the side, his clothes were a little messy, and he stretched out his hand to get closer to Mrs. Miaofu, but he was afraid that Mrs. Miaofu would lose control again and hurt the child in her belly.
"You, let go of my children!" Suddenly, Mrs. raised her head and shouted out of the door, and the man got up and rushed out of the door.
Ji Yao stepped forward and slashed at the back of Mrs. Miaofu's head, and Mrs. Miaofu's body fainted as soon as she became weak, and Ji Yao hurriedly supported her.
Master Nian took Mrs. Miaofu from Ji Yao and placed her on the bed.
Ji Yao carefully examined Mrs. Miaofu.
"Ji Gongzi, is Miao Fu okay?" asked the old man anxiously.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Nian and the children are fine, but how is Madam crazy?" asked Ji Yao.
"Madame lay down to rest after lunch, but not long after she lay down, Madame suddenly woke up, shouted to let my child go, and then chased and beat me everywhere. Lady Miaofu's personal maid said.
Ji Yao contemplated as the familiar faint fragrance came from the room.
Perhaps, it really has something to do with this.
"Open all the windows in the lady's room, ventilate them, and then remove all the spices, and do not light them again. Ji Yao said in a positive voice.
She wasn't sure, because there was indeed something wrong with that spice, but she didn't understand why everyone else smelled it but was fine, and she would rather make a mistake than miss it, Ji Yao thought that since there was a problem, it would be better to remove it first.
"But, but the lady smelled the fragrance and slept peacefully. The maid on the side said.
"Withdraw first, I have my own way to let my wife sleep peacefully. Ji Yao replied.
"Everything has been done as Ji Gongzi said. The old man said sharply.
Ji Yao, Mu Fan, and Master Nian walked out of the courtyard of the sixth lady together.
"Ji Gongzi, could it be that there is a problem with that incense?" The old man asked Ji Yao softly, he saw Ji Yao asking to remove the spices, thinking that there was a problem with that incense.
"I don't know yet, but this incense has to be carefully examined. Ji Yao replied.
"In this way, it will be annoying that Ji Gongzi will have a lot of trouble, Miaofu will be ready to give birth in a short time, and there must be no more trouble. The old man's face was solemn and haggard, and the incident just now made him a lot older all of a sudden.
"Don't worry, I will let the child be born safely. Ji Yao said solemnly.
After the old man left, Ji Yao followed Mu Fan directly to his room.
On the table was the spices that Madame had sold.
"What's added to this spice?" Ji Yao looked at the spice and asked, "This spice is fine when others smell it, and it only affects Mrs. Miaofu." ”
Mu Fan sniffed the spices again.
"This fragrance is not like a mortal thing. Half a sound, Mu Fan said this, and Ji Yao was stunned.
"It's not the mortal world, this ......" Ji Yao looked at Mu Fan, either a mortal thing or a thing from another world.
"Do you know that there are several other realms in this world besides the human world. Mu Fan looked at Ji Yao.
"The other realms, is it the ghost world, the demon world, the demon world, and the fairy world?" Ji Yao said after thinking about it.
"Almost, in fact, it should be said that there should be six worlds, but the god world has disappeared for a long time, so it is usually not mentioned, and gradually everyone only says the five worlds, people, ghosts, immortals, demons, and demons have been independent since ancient times, each performing its own duties, and there is little contact with each other, so it is peaceful, but although the five worlds are independent of each other, they also have something in common, but the place of connection is extremely hidden, and there is a special person to guard. ”
"What do you mean, something like this, maybe from the other four realms?"
Mu Fan nodded.
Ji Yao stroked her forehead, a spice, how could it suddenly be involved in the other four realms, could it be that this matter was not as simple as she thought.
"I heard that there is a kind of flower in the demon world, there are six flowers in one plant, each flower is different, and the fragrance of the flower is also different, this flower can hide desires and devour desires, and the people who cultivate the demons in the demon world often use this flower as food. Mu Fan continued.
"What about Lady Miaofu?" asked Ji Yao.
"The inner demons have different pursuits of desire, if this flower is cultivated a little, it can choose the desire that the flower owner wants, and choose the desire to eat.
