C41 (1/2)

The Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu used nearly half the time it took to support his meridians to open, after withdrawing his hand, he carefully examined the Madame SHen's face and eyelids. He didn't say anything after he had used more than half of Weng Wen Che's words. Instead, he closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Seeing Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu's serious expression, Madame SHen wanted to ask what was wrong but did not dare to disturb him. Jin Lan was also anxiously looking at Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu. Seeing that he did not have any reaction, he turned towards the man who had already stood up and walked to the side, leaning on the pavilion pillar as he stared blankly into space.

The robed man looked indifferently towards the distant mountain forest. Whether the Madame SHen was alive or dead was a small matter to him. What he wanted was only an answer.

Suddenly, his keen senses allowed him to detect a gaze that seemed to be begging for help. He tilted his head slightly to the side and looked through the gauze, taking in the entire view of his face full of worry. The deep gaze in his eyes flickered for an unknown moment, but somehow, he slowly shook his head.

Seeing him shake his head, Jin Lan couldn't help but be stunned. She didn't know what that person meant. Was he trying to tell her not to worry? Or was she supposed to stop talking? However, if she were to guess, it would be towards the latter.

After a long while, Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head and said to the man in the long gown: ”Benefactor Yan, please lend me your Profound Jade Pendant for a look.”

He glanced at his Jin Lan and fished out something from his sleeve, handing it over to Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu.

Jin Lan's gaze unconsciously landed on his broad palm. He saw an oval jade pendant the size of an egg lying there quietly. It was completely different from what he had seen in the past; it was actually black! As though a drop of thick ink, Zhang Xuan was unable to see any patterns on it.

”It's as black as ink and as thin as mutton fat. Its color is full and glistening. It's truly a rare piece of top quality profound jade.” Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu took the jade pendant, his eyes squinted as he praised. Saying that, he looked up towards the Madame SHen, ”Benefactor Shen, may I borrow three thousand threads of vexation?”

”This …” Madame SHen hesitated for a moment, but when she remembered that Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu wanted to help him with her diagnosis, she nodded her head, ”How much do you need, Master?”

”One is enough.”

Madame SHen reached out her hand, pulled out a stalk of hair from her forehead and gave it to Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu while enduring the pain.

”Amitabha.” Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu chanted a Buddhist chant and opened the teacup with green and white flowers and mountain and river patterns beside him. What was inside was actually not tea soup, but clear water, almost full. He first dipped the Profound Jade into the water, and after taking it out, he placed it to the side. Then, he curled Madame SHen's hair into a ball, and placed it into the water soaked in the Profound Jade, as he quietly watched.

Jin Lan knew clearly in his heart that Master Hui Wu's strange action was probably to investigate the poison in Madame SHen's body. As a result, he stared intently at the tea cup without even blinking, afraid that he would miss out on some change.

After being silent for a while, Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu suddenly sighed, ”That's true.”

Jin Lan kept his eyes on the water, but didn't notice any changes in the water. It was still as clear and transparent as before. Hearing Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu say this, he could no longer hold back the anxiousness in his heart, and anxiously asked: ”Master Fang Mao, what's wrong with my mother?”

”Don't be impatient, young Benefactor.” Master Hui Wu did not answer. Instead, he cautiously asked Madame SHen: ”Recently, Benefactor Shen seems to have been tired and is unable to endure.

Madame SHen nodded her head, ”That's right, I am indeed prone to lethargy these days. Although I sleep soundly at night, I am still a little drowsy by day.”

”Then Almsgiver Shen, have you ever remembered when such an anomaly appeared? Moreover, before this, do you have completely opposite symptoms? It's like you can't sleep at night.” The Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu's expression became even more serious.

Jin Lan's heart tightened, based on Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu's tone, he was afraid that Madame SHen was really poisoned. Not long after the engagement in her previous life, she had also suddenly felt tired and tired, but sleeplessness had never happened! Could it be that the poison in Madame SHen was different from her own? But what about that familiar smell?

A few thoughts flashed through her mind, but she was unable to find an answer. Since things had progressed to this point, they could only restrain their thoughts and listen to what the Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu had to say.

”About …” The Madame SHen recalled for a while, and said, ”About half a month ago, I was a bit lazy, and after a while, I gradually fell asleep. As for before, there was a period of time when I could not sleep at night, but it seemed to be a hot and hot day, and it was normal for me to not be able to sleep.”

As Madame SHen spoke, Jin Lan recalled something. Since half a month ago, Madame SHen had indeed been a bit dispirited, and the events that had occurred a few days ago were most evident. When she normally woke up in the morning to pay her respects, Madame SHen had not gotten up yet. Normally, Madame SHen would have already washed up by that time and was waiting for her to eat breakfast.

He originally thought that it was because of the many things that had happened recently that caused Madame SHen to put in so much effort to act like this. However, it seems like it's not that simple now!

”Master, please tell me what's wrong with me. It's fine if I don't get in your way.” Madame SHen saw that Master Wu Hui's expression was serious, while Jin Lan's face was extremely ugly, he more or less understood what was going on, and could not help but sigh.

Jin Lan immediately stopped thinking, and stared at Buddhist Abbot Hui Wu, as though he was facing a great enemy. The eyes of the man in the long gown that leaned back onto the pillar also stopped, and landed on him.
