Chapter 1532 Goodbye Goddess
Chapter 1532 Goodbye Goddess
Zhou Baicha nodded without hesitation.
"Yes, I can."
Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, come with me later and look for that kind of fragrance."
"Yes."
Yan Ruyu said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, the weather is getting warmer and the West City is undergoing renovations. Your business will definitely be good. If you can add a few new products, it will be even better."
"To be honest, Princess, I think so too. Business has been getting better and better these days. I sell large quantities and at a low price. We are all poor people. Drinking tea is just to quench our thirst and chat a little."
"When I save more money, I'll buy more tea."
Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "How about this, you come to the palace tomorrow, and we'll talk about the new tea then."
The shopkeeper was delighted, but still more puzzled: "Yes, I will remember it."
Although I had doubts, I didn't dare to ask more questions.
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe took Zhou Baicha out of the teahouse.
"Your Majesty, take some people to ask around, and I'll take him to Huo Zhongmao."
"Okay," Huo Changhe nodded, "Then let's meet at Zhongmao Inn in half an hour."
"it is good."
Huo Zhongmao's spice shop had long been famous, and Zhou Baicha had heard of it, but had never been there.
He didn't dare to enter such a big and beautiful shop.
He met Liu the peddler in front of the door. He came to purchase goods. When he saw Yan Ruyu, he hurried forward to greet her.
"Princess, my business is getting better and better."
When Zhou Baicha saw him, he was surprised and delighted: "Brother Liu San?"
"Bai Cha?" Liu the peddler was also surprised, "Why is it you?"
Zhou Baicha was a little embarrassed: "The princess brought me here."
Yan Ruyu asked: "Do you two know each other?"
"My princess, when I lived in West City earlier, I lived very close to their home and we were old neighbors."
Zhou Baicha nodded vigorously, and it was obvious that he was very happy.
Yan Ruyu was also infected by their emotions. She did not urge them. She let the two of them reminisce about the past while she went to find Huo Zhongmao.
"Princess, has the previous matter come to an end?"
"Yes, we have investigated it thoroughly. Liu the peddler helped a lot," Yan Ruyu said, "We will take care of him as much as we can."
"Don't worry, Princess." Huo Zhongmao understood, "What instructions do you have for me this time?"
"Bring him here to smell the incense. Pick out some good quality samples that are suitable for offerings, or for use by Buddhas and Taoists, and let him smell them later."
"Okay," Huo Zhongmao went to prepare personally.
Zhou Baicha and Liu the peddler agreed on a time to meet again, and they happily parted ways.
"Come and smell it, see if it's the same as what you smelled before."
Yan Ruyu pointed at the seven or eight samples spread out on the table.
Zhou Baicha suddenly felt a little nervous, and his palms were sweating.
Yan Ruyu comforted him, "Don't be nervous, and don't worry. Whether you can smell it or not, you are helping me. I won't blame you if you can't smell it."
"Yes."
Zhou Baicha went forward to smell the three kinds of fragrance, but none of them was it.
Until the fifth one, he picked it up and smelled it, then put it down, thought about it, and picked it up again.
"it is this."
Zhou Baicha's voice became louder and firmer: "This is it. You don't need to smell the others, Princess. I'm sure it's this one."
Yan Ruyu took it, took a sniff, and remembered the scene when she met Taoist Xuanqing near the Shi family cemetery in the wild.
However, at that time her attention was on the Goddess of Heaven's Eyes and on remembering the appearance of Taoist Master Xuanqing, so she did not pay much attention to the fragrance.
Huo Zhongmao said: "This kind of fragrance is clear and long-lasting, lighter than Buddhist incense, and is indeed mostly used by Taoists."
Yan Ruyu put the sample away and said, "Okay, I'll take this and go find the sales record of this kind of incense."
Huo Zhongmao turned to the counter and took out the prepared records.
"It's all here."
Yan Ruyu flipped through the books and found that not many of this kind of incense were sold, and there were only three buyers.
"These three are all Taoist temples," Huo Zhongmao said. "These two are young Taoist priests, but only this one has the temple owner come in person. He seems to be afraid that the young Taoist priests will take advantage of him or steal his money."
Yan Ruyu did not comment and took out the portrait of Taoist Xuanqing: "Is there such a person?"
Huo Zhongmao shook his head: "No."
"If this person comes, I will pay attention."
Yan Ruyu nodded and said no more. Huo Cumao was always steady in his work.
She looked at the time and found that it was still a little later than the time she had agreed with Huo Changhe.
She thought that she had used a lot of knockout incense explosive pills and tear gas incense pills and needed to replenish some, so she asked someone to send Zhou Baicha back.
She gave the incense recipe to Huo Zhongmao and asked him to help prepare it.
While I was waiting in the shop, I heard another commotion in the street.
I could vaguely hear someone calling out "The Goddess of the Sky Eye."
She immediately stood up and looked out the door.
Sure enough, I saw a sudden increase in the number of pedestrians on the road, and a few people were slowly walking towards this side.
There were too many people and they were a little far away, so Yan Ruyu couldn't see what the people inside looked like, but she could see the white veil.
It seems that she is indeed the Goddess of Heavenly Eyes.
Yan Ruyu thought to herself, what a coincidence.
This time when Yan Ruyu went to the teahouse to ask, she just wanted to know whether the Goddess of Heavenly Eyes usually appeared by herself or had to be accompanied by Taoist Priest Xuanqing.
That day near the cemetery, Yan Ruyu vaguely felt that the Goddess of Heaven's Eye seemed a little different from ordinary people.
She was too dependent on Taoist Master Xuanqing, and her tone of voice and movements were also different from those of ordinary people.
Of course, everyone has their own personality, and there are definitely many differences between people. Others may regard something as "special" or "different", and even add a bit of mystery to it.
But Yan Ruyu is from the modern era and has seen many patients with various mental illnesses, so she understands this matter better.
Based on the performance of the Goddess of the Sky Eye during the last contact, she suspected that the Goddess of the Sky Eye had some psychological problems similar to autism.
But it's just a suspicion, not confirmed.
Now that we've met this time, we have to see clearly.
She just stood at the door without leaving or entering the house, waiting for the crowd to slowly move towards this side.
When they arrived at the incense shop, the Goddess of Heaven's Eyes suddenly stopped.
The crowd around also stopped.
Yan Ruyu remained expressionless and watched quietly.
The Goddess of Heaven's Eye turned her body, and even through the white veil, Yan Ruyu could feel her gaze.
She was looking at Yan Ruyu.
This is no wonder. This is not the first time I have seen him. The last time I had close contact with him near the grave, and I even talked to Taoist Master Xuanqing.
The Goddess of Heaven's Eyes, you should have some impression of her.
Yan Ruyu's eyes swept over the crowd. In the four directions around the Goddess of Heaven's Eye, there was a young and strong man in tight clothes, each with a knife on his waist.
It seems that they are all martial artists.
It should be to protect the Goddess of Heaven's Eye.
Although everyone was surrounding her, they were still at a certain distance from the Goddess of Heavenly Eyes, separated by the four of them.
However, Taoist Xuanqing was not found.
Did he not show up, or did he not come at all?
Yan Ruyu was observing carefully when the Goddess of Heaven's Eyes suddenly raised her hand slowly, with her slender fingers pointing straight at her.
