husband from hell

Chapter 132 Tracing the Origin
"Such expensive things can't be bought anywhere else," Bean Sprouts said, "I checked, and in Yuning, only the Taiqing Palace can afford that kind of high-end goods."

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

Bean Sprouts nodded and said, "Yes, that kind of spice is an ancient recipe in India. We don't have it here, and besides that kind of religious holy place, it must be affordable elsewhere! It's even used in smaller temples and Taoist temples." The only thing that matters is the Taiqing Palace, where the incense is very prosperous and the rich are very rich. As long as it is related to 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 on the phone, frowned Yingting, and said, "Really...then let's go to Taiyuan Qing Palace."

Holding Cheng Ke's hand, I couldn't figure it out. If it has something to do with other places, I can imagine it, but how could it have something to do with the Taiqing Palace?
Last time, the Du family came to settle accounts with me. Even if it was an old friend of the ghost breeder in Tanshen Town, Taoist Master Xu Ping, who was in charge of the family, did not lend a helping hand, because he was afraid that the Taiqing Palace would also be involved in this mess. If those men in black really have something to do with the Taiqing Palace...

Forget it, I couldn't figure out why after thinking hard, so Cheng Ke and I went all the way to the Taiqing Palace.

It is a cool autumn now, and there is a faint wind. Cheng Ke walks on the side where the wind comes, and naturally blocks me. The bangs on his smooth forehead flutter gently, which is really picturesque.

Noticing that I was looking at him, he turned his head sideways: "What's wrong?"

"nothing……"

It's just that at that moment, I forgot that he was actually dead.

It's like a very ordinary couple walking side by side, except for cold hands, there is no other abnormality.

That's good, that's good.

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

"It's okay, I can go in." I said, "And that place is full of people, and there is no danger. You just wait for me outside."

"I'm not at ease." Cheng Ke said suddenly: "You can contact Li Minglang and ask him to take you there."

Cheng Ke, who had always been at odds with Li Minglang, let go of his mouth.

I said, "Since it's about checking the affairs of the Taiqing Palace, wouldn't it be inconvenient?"

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

What would Li Minglang think when he heard it?Probably... Let's fight Cheng Ke again.

When I arrived at the Taiqing Palace, I realized that today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. The Taiqing Palace was crowded with people who came to pray for blessings, almost rubbing shoulders, just like people attending a temple fair. No wonder the Taiqing Palace is so rich and can afford three and a half dollars. It is estimated that the incense money must be very rich.

It happened that there was a little Taoist priest welcoming others at the door, so I crossed the threshold smoothly, turned around and shook hands with Cheng Ke.

Cheng Ke nodded. He was usually so calm, but his pretty face was a little uneasy.

There are people of all ages who come to Taiqing Palace to pray for blessings. The old people want to be healthy, the young people want to have a smooth career, and the boys and girls want to be happy in love. There are so many kinds of life.

After squeezing in, I realized that I hadn't called Li Minglang yet, but when I called, no one answered.

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

I saw the little Taoist priest guiding the pilgrims, so I went over and asked, "Which one of your statues offered three and a half coins?"

"What?" The little Taoist couldn't understand what I said at all, scratched his head, and said, "Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, layman, I don't understand what I said."

Hey... three and a half cents even a little Taoist doesn't know, it must be smelled in a particularly important place.

I had no choice but to squeeze in along the flow of people, passed the main hall, and smelled it carefully, because the power of yin and yang to control ghosts was borrowed from Cheng Ke's sense of smell, so I could tell the difference, although they were all incense sticks, But those fragrances are not three and a half cents, some are more fragrant, some are lighter.

However, the smoke is lingering, and the aroma of flowers and fruits is mixed in it, so it smells very difficult.

Walking along the main hall all the time, I found nothing, I was a little discouraged, suddenly at this moment, someone patted my shoulder: "Oh, are you looking for Mingming?"

I turned around and saw that it was the long-lost Daoist Chuyang, so I greeted him, "Daoist Chuyang, are you here too?"

"It's fifteen, and master, junior, and the others are too busy, so I'll come over and help." Daoist Chuyang said ambiguously: "I heard that your family wants you to be engaged to Minglang? You really stepped on Jin Don't look at Mingming's appearance, their family is quite rich, and that kid likes you, anyway, he is a disciple of the lay family. When you get married, you will be able to be a young mistress. Don't forget to meet the wealthy wife, Introduced to me, the business is guaranteed."

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

"I didn't see him today, and I thought it was because you came back, and he went looking for you." Daoist Chu Yang seemed to have remembered something, and asked, "Where's that evil ghost of yours? Are you willing to leave it outside today? "

I said embarrassingly: "Chuyang Daoist knows, he can't come in."

"That's right, our Taiqing Palace is a thousand-year-old temple, and no monsters and monsters can enter it." Daoist Chuyang introduced triumphantly: "Since the Western Song Dynasty, our Taiqing Palace has been a..."

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

"Three and a half money?" Daoist Chuyang was also stunned: "What is that? A code?"

Sure enough, even Daoist Chu Yang didn't know...

"Anyway, you came here too, shall I take you to find Minglang?" Daoist Chuyang dragged me inside enthusiastically, "You don't know, since that kid fell in love with you, he has followed a star chaser every day. Like a family, I think about it day and night, and I probably have a few spring dreams..."

I was embarrassed for a while, and it was even more unbearable to say this: "No need, no need, actually there is nothing else..."

"Oh, anyway, that jealous ghost of yours is not here, so just take this opportunity to cultivate your relationship with Minglang..." Daoist Chuyang just dragged me to the back: "If he is not in front, it must be Behind the main hall, don't you know that his grandfather, that old man, has so much money that he can't spend it all in a few lifetimes..."

No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get 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, all lead gray, neat and square, with a sense of history.

"Minglang, Minglang, look who's here!" Daoist Chuyang yelled, "Come out!"

"This is yours..." After thinking about it, I don't know if the word "dormitory" is suitable for me. Before I said it, Daoist Chuyang said: "Yes, we live here. I haven't come out yet, I must be thinking about spring inside! You are young and have never talked about a girlfriend, so you should understand that the original one is a virgin..."

I was embarrassed again, and just about to speak, suddenly, a very faint fragrance of three and a half cents came over me!

here!

"Minglang, Minglang?" Daoist Chuyang let go of my hand and went into a room: "Are you up yet? When is this..."

And the smell of three and a half cents is very subtle, almost fleeting, I was afraid of missing it, and I didn't care to say hello to Daoist Chuyang, so I quickly followed that smell.

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

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

Bah, I'm not a dog.

Dispelling the wild thoughts, I searched all the way inside. There are thin alleys in this place, which is quite complicated. I followed those small alleys all the way to find the inside, and I found a small courtyard. The fragrance of three and a half coins comes from From the locked door here!

There are couplets and locks on the outside of this room. It doesn't look like an ordinary dormitory. I thought about it, is this place for people to live in, or...

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

How about...jump over the wall and take a look?

This is another gamble, and I can't tell what is waiting for me behind the wall.

But now, there is nothing I can do. I stepped on the stone lion at the door neatly and climbed in from the low wall.

When I arrived in the yard, I thought to myself, the incense is still burning, but the door is locked, which means that even if the people inside go out, they have just left and will not come back for a while.

Looking at the courtyard, I kept an eye out first, and didn't break the door directly. Instead, I took advantage of the wooden door frame and could find a gap, so I squatted under the corner of the wall and found a small hole. Look inside.

But the light outside was too strong, and when viewed from the outside, it was all black and nothing could be seen clearly.

Strange... At least you should be able to see the red fire of the incense stick... I frowned, and suddenly found the black inside, flickering.

My scalp was numb for a while, and then I realized that the thing I saw in the gap was black because there was also a black eye in the room, just like me, going through this small hole. Look outside!
