Chapter 2840

~8 min read 1,484 words

Looking at the three sticks of sandalwood incense that were about to burn out, Lin Wan'er was full of frustration.

She said to Ye Chen somewhat distractedly: "Even that we would make a comeback could be calculated. Who are they..."

Ye Chen shook his head: "I can't figure it out. This feeling is like being opened to a God's perspective."

As he spoke, he passed through the main hall and was about to go to the backyard to find out, but was attracted by a wooden door on the side and back of the main hall.

He carefully pushed open this door and found that it was a small room of about five or six square meters.

Ye Chen took a simple look and found that besides a simple wooden chair and a small wooden table less than half a meter wide, there seemed to be nothing else in this room.

And in the room, a special fragrance came to his face, making people feel refreshed.

Ye Chen looked carefully and saw a string of hand beads that were almost the same color as the wooden table on the small wooden table.

The hand beads were composed of wooden round beads with a diameter of about one centimeter. They were black-brown with varying shades, very shiny, and emitted a rich woody fragrance.

The hand beads were placed in the center of the desktop, looking like they were left here by someone specifically.

Ye Chen stepped forward and picked up the hand beads. As soon as he touched them, he could feel the warm and moist texture of each bead on the hand beads, and the hand beads were light overall. Coupled with the special fragrance, Ye Chen speculated that they should be made of agarwood.

Lin Wan'er walked in at this time and asked in surprise: "Where did the agarwood hand beads in the Young Master's hand come from?"

Ye Chen looked back at her and smiled: "Found them on this table."

Lin Wan'er came to the front and asked carefully: "Young Master, may this servant take a look?"

Ye Chen nodded and handed the agarwood hand beads to her.

Lin Wan'er carefully held the hand beads in her palm and examined them, exclaiming: "This is the best variety of white agarwood, and it is the out-of-print Hainan white agarwood, and even a rare treasure of Hainan white agarwood that has never been seen before..."

"Rare treasure?" Ye Chen asked curiously: "Is this thing very expensive?"

Lin Wan'er said: "The best top-grade white agarwood hand beads that can be seen on the market have an auction price of about several hundred thousand per gram, but compared to this quality, it is still much worse. This servant has never seen such good material..."

Ye Chen exclaimed: "You have lived until now drinking the tea leaves of the Mother of Pu'er Tea, and when we first met in Northern Europe, those blue and white porcelains of yours were also top-grade among top-grade. Is there anything else in this world that you haven't seen?"

Lin Wan'er covered her red lips slightly with her jade hand and smiled lightly: "The Young Master thinks too highly of this servant. There are too many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this world. Almost most of the things in this world, as long as they are known to the world, are not the best. So it is normal to encounter good things that you haven't seen before."

As she spoke, she handed the hand beads back to Ye Chen and said: "Young Master, these hand beads should be a gift they gave you. You should keep them well."

Ye Chen said: "Maybe they are for you?"

"No." Lin Wan'er smiled coquettishly and said: "If they were for me, I guess they wouldn't be able to afford them."

Ye Chen asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"

Lin Wan'er smiled and said: "Young Master, count these hand beads. There are exactly twenty-eight beads. If this servant remembers correctly, the Young Master should have just passed his twenty-eighth birthday and hasn't reached twenty-nine, right? Isn't this just prepared for the Young Master? If it were prepared for this servant, at least three hundred beads would have to be strung, which is really too wasteful."

Ye Chen was shocked and hurriedly looked down to count the beads on the hand beads. There were indeed exactly twenty-eight beads.

Most hand beads actually have nineteen beads. This is because most people who wear hand beads, besides pursuing the material, pursue a more profound meaning, because in Buddhism, most Buddha beads are nineteen, implying one Buddha head, plus eighteen non-common laws.

And these hand beads were uniquely strung with twenty-eight.

Because the number of beads is indeed too many, these hand beads are actually no longer suitable for wearing on the wrist, but more suitable for holding in the hand to play with.

Ye Chen couldn't help but ask her: "Do you think this represents my age?"

Lin Wan'er nodded: "High probability."

Ye Chen asked again: "Maybe it's some kind of coincidence?"

Lin Wan'er shook her head: "Put it outside, it's possible; here, it's impossible."

Ye Chen asked: "Why do you say that?"

Lin Wan'er said earnestly: "Young Master, you have to understand that everything here is prepared for you. The reason why they invited this servant in is just because this servant happened to accompany the Young Master here. If this servant hadn't accompanied the Young Master here, they would definitely have met the Young Master directly."

Ye Chen was suddenly a little nervous.

He felt that Lin Wan'er made sense.

However, he didn't understand who the other party was and why they were so concerned about him.

From the moment the little nun took the initiative to talk to the two at the foot of the mountain, Ye Chen had been wanting to know what kind of background these people had. Until now, this question had become stronger and stronger.

At this time, Lin Wan'er suddenly remembered something and said: "Young Master, when this servant came in just now, I didn't see anyone entering or leaving this room. There are tables and chairs in this room, and these hand beads. I think someone should have stayed here at that time."

Ye Chen nodded: "Then that must be their mastermind."

As he spoke, Ye Chen played with the hand beads in his hand for a moment and said: "I don't know why they want to hide it, but it really feels like what you said, it doesn't look like an enemy. As for what kind of background they have, we can only wait for them to appear on their own next time."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen looked at Lin Wan'er and asked her: "You said, since they did all this just because they didn't want me to continue forward, then if I go out of this door and continue to walk into the depths of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, will they appear again to stop me?"

Lin Wan'er asked in horror: "Young Master... you... are you serious?"

Ye Chen said: "Temporarily just discussing the feasibility of this plan."

Lin Wan'er said tangledly: "Young Master, theoretically it should be like this, but this servant still doesn't suggest the Young Master try..."

Ye Chen looked at the hand beads in his hand and smiled: "Don't worry, I was just saying it casually, I'm not that ungrateful."

After saying this, he put away the hand beads and said to Lin Wan'er: "Let's go to the backyard and take a look. If there is no abnormality, let's set off back to Jin Ling!"

Lin Wan'er finally felt relieved and accompanied Ye Chen to the backyard of the Qingzhao Nunnery.

The backyard of this nunnery was not big, with only a few tiled rooms in total, which looked like the place where the nuns in the nunnery lived.

However, this place had been vacant for a long time, and it seemed that no one had lived here for a long time.

This further proved Lin Wan'er's guess that the two nuns she met were not real nuns.

Ye Chen even suspected that the Qingzhao Nunnery had been abandoned for many years, and they only temporarily enabled it this time to stop him.

The two didn't find any valuable clues in the backyard, but they saw a small path going down the mountain from the back outside the back door of the backyard.

I think they evacuated from this mountain path.

Because more than an hour had passed, Ye Chen couldn't see any clues along this path at this time. Out of respect for these people, he didn't have the idea of chasing them to find out.

Looking at the winding small path, Ye Chen sighed softly and said to Lin Wan'er: "Let's go, let's go back to Jin Ling."
