The fragrant and soothing benzoin was extinguished by Shui Yue with tea, and with the doors and windows wide open, the aroma lingering in the house quickly dispersed. Only when there was no more aroma in the house did Rong Yuan signal to Mo Yu and the others that they could
The doors and windows were closed again, but in just a moment, the house that was as warm as spring a moment ago was already freezing cold, and the hands and feet of Mo Yu and others were cold from the cold.
"Doctor Xu, can we talk now?" Ling Ruo asked slowly, staring at Rong Yuan, with a solemn look on his face.
Rong Yuan nodded solemnly and said: "I heard what Miss Mo Yu said just now. It seems that the ghosts seen by everyone are different. This is obviously inconsistent with common sense. Even if there are ghosts, the ghosts seen at the same time and place should be the same.
Yes, why are they completely opposite, so Wei Chen wondered if there was something hidden in it. Thinking of Mo Yu
He once said that he smelled a fragrance before seeing a ghost, which reminded Wei Chen of a story he read in a medical book. It was rumored that in ancient times there was a kind of fragrance that could cause people to hallucinate, and this hallucination is what the world calls ghosts!
Wei Chen thought this was nonsense. Even if this fragrance really existed, it has been lost long ago. I didn’t expect it to exist in this world."
"Are you saying that the ghosts Mo Yu and I saw were all hallucinations created by the incense?" Just then, a cold wind blew, and Ling Ruo's heavy mind regained some clarity.
"If Wei Chen's prediction is correct, Ling Fujin should have started burning incense before he saw the ghost." Seeing Ling Ruo nodding, he continued, "So Wei Chen mixed clove, huo incense, and agarwood together and let Mo Yu smell it.
, these flavors are the spices that must be used to make incense, and they are indeed similar to them, so Wei Chen can conclude that,
Someone must have secretly mixed a small amount of ** incense into benzoin. As soon as the incense is burned, the ** incense will unknowingly cause Fujin to hallucinate, thinking that there is an evil ghost haunting him, making it difficult to sleep and eat well." There was something unusual in his words.
I hate it so much. Although this incense cannot kill people, if things go on like this, even if they don't die, they will only have half a life left.
Shui Xiu thought about it and still felt that it didn't make sense, "Since it was mixed in benzoin, why did only the master and Mo Yu have hallucinations, while the rest of us were fine."
"Because you didn't stay in the house all the time. As I said, the incense mixed in the benzoin is a small amount, which is not enough to cause hallucinations in a short period of time. Miss Mo Yu only claimed to see ghosts when she stayed with her at night.
, but Ling Fujin stayed in the house for a long time. When she rarely went out, she inhaled the most fragrance." He glanced at Ling Ruo and said: "Now that the room is ventilated to remove the remaining fragrance, Fujin can
Feeling better?"
Ling Ruo tried to close her eyes, and sure enough, no ghost appeared in front of her. She felt happy and was about to speak. Suddenly, the ghost in white appeared again, and stretched out his hands to grab her with a ferocious face. She was so scared that she opened her eyes.
, stroking his palpitating chest and gasping for breath, "Ghost... ghost... it's still... still there!"
Rong Yuan, who thought he had guessed that the woman was close to him, was shocked when she heard what she said, and suddenly said: "You can still see it?"
Ling Ruo nodded vigorously and said with palpitations: "Yes, it has not disappeared, it is still here. Doctor Xu, may it be that you guessed wrong and it is not the reason for the fragrant smell."
"Impossible!" Rong Yuan categorically rejected her conjecture. He walked quickly to the Boshan furnace, opened the lid of the furnace, took out the water-soaked spices and crushed them carefully. According to the medical book, there was a certain amount of spices in the incense.
The most important spice: poppy, but he found no trace of poppy in the benzoin. Could it be that he had guessed wrong and had nothing to do with the fragrance? But what would it be if it weren't for the fragrance?
Just when he was wondering, Li Wei laboriously brought in a large basket of silver charcoal. Seeing this, Mo Yu hurriedly went over and put the charcoal basket in the corner, "I thought where you had been for so long. It turned out that you were going to get some silver charcoal."
Silver charcoal, isn’t there still a lot of silver charcoal, why are you in such a hurry to get it?”
Li Wei patted the ashes on his hands and said with a hint of pride: "You don't understand this, don't you think there is a lot of charcoal now? After a while, every house and courtyard will start to burn charcoal for fire, and you will be nervous. Take advantage of now
Be rich and prepared, as the master will not be able to bear the cold if he is not well."
"Hey, Doctor Xu is here too. I'm here to say hello to you." Li Wei was about to say hello to Ling Ruo when he found out that Rong Yuan was there too. He quickly called Qian'er and then carefully took out a triangular yellow talisman from his arms, "Master,
This is the peace talisman that I just took the opportunity to go to Wanshou Temple to ask for. This will definitely work. Take it with you to ensure that none of the evil spirits dare to approach you."
Wanshou Temple is a royal temple, and it is twenty miles away from here. You can imagine how hard it is to travel there and back in half a day. In fact, because of the haunting, Mo Yu and the others have already visited countless temples and asked for peace charms.
None of it is of use. Even though I know it is of no use, this is
Li Wei was filled with concern, but Ling Ruo still smiled and accepted it. Just when he was about to speak, Li Wei suddenly sniffed a few times, turned his eyes to the extinguished gold-studded silver incense burner, and said with relief: "No wonder the aroma in the room is so weak.
"More, it turns out that the fragrance is gone, why don't you add fragrance to the master?"
"What did you say?" Rong Yuan was suddenly startled, grabbed Li Wei's hand and asked in a low voice: "Is there still fragrance in this room?" Not only him, but Ling Ruo and others also looked surprised, and just now the doors and windows were opened wide.
At this time, all the fragrance has been blown away and the benzoin has been extinguished. How can there be still fragrance in the house?
Li Wei nodded truthfully. Isn't it normal for a room where incense has been burned to have lingering fragrance? Why was Dr. Xu so excited?
He just came back and didn't understand the reason, but it cheered up Rong Yuan, who was a little lost because he couldn't find any trace of benzoin in the benzoin. Maybe his guess was not wrong, but he was just looking for the wrong place. When he
After standing outside for a while and then entering the house, they indeed smelled the aroma Li Wei mentioned. It was very light. Their noses had lost their sensitivity because they had stayed in the same environment for a long time, and they did not notice the aroma emanating from somewhere.
.
In order to find out where the aroma came from, Rong Yuan carefully checked everything in the house and found nothing suspicious. But it was really strange. Could it be that the aroma appeared out of thin air?
Seeing Rong Yuan standing there helpless, Ling Ruo thought for a moment and asked Mo Yu to help him to the window, took a few deep breaths of the cold air and then closed the window again. The originally inaudible fragrance became
You can smell it clearly, close your eyes and focus all your perceptions on the tip of your nose, and try to distinguish the intensity of the aroma. I believe that as long as you find the strongest aroma, you have found the source.
In the silence of the room, the soft-soled embroidered shoes landed step by step on the smooth and flat gold bricks. When Ling Ruo reached the middle, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes fell on the steaming coals not far away.
On the basin, he said coldly: "This is it, this is where the fragrance is strongest."
Hearing this, Rong Yuan immediately picked up a piece of red-hot silver charcoal from the charcoal basin with iron tongs. He picked up the untouched tea with his other hand and poured it on it. He only heard a "squeak" sound and white smoke.
It was billowing up, and Rong Yuan could distinguish it carefully. Sure enough, he could smell a more obvious aroma from the white smoke than what was floating in the room.
Yes, he just checked almost everything in the house, except for this charcoal basin. The problem lies precisely in the burning silver charcoal. Someone mixed incense powder into it. Normally, it is almost
You can't smell it, but as soon as the charcoal is burned, the aroma will be stimulated. However, the aroma is very light, and the room happens to be lit with incense, so it has never been noticed.
