ask incense

"Ah, how could this be?"

Dai Zhiyi already had signs of collapse, he grabbed his hair and asked Pei Ling, "Then what should we do now?"

"Incense!" Pei Ling flipped through the bag, "The incense from the Tang family can be seen in the past!"

Didn't it mean finding the past and recovering the real name?With the help of that incense, one can definitely know about Sai Tianxian's past.

Seeing Pei Ling dig out the incense, she couldn't help asking curiously, "What kind of incense is this?"

"Wishing incense. When I was in Yuejia, I lit this incense before, and then..."

Then he saw the entanglement between the Yue brothers in his dream.

"Then is there any taboo for burning this incense?"

Pei Ling opened the incense box and handed the incense to Dai Zhiyi, "I may fall asleep after lighting this incense, you just watch us from the side, if there is anything wrong, shake me awake immediately, understand?"

Dai Zhiyi saw that Pei Ling was prudently confessing to himself, and Dai Zhiyi also nodded very seriously.Pei Ling walked back to the bed, took one more look at Sai Tianxian before lying down, stretched out his hand to Sai Tianxian's folded hands on his chest, and then took a deep breath and lay down.

As soon as she lay down, Pei Ling gestured with her eyes to light some incense instead.Dai Zhiyi received it, and immediately lit the incense. When the cigarette rose, he wanted to raise his head to ask Pei Ling a few more words, but when he looked up, Pei Ling had already closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Since the man had already fallen asleep, Dai Zhiyi couldn't open his mouth to disturb him. He put the incense in front of the Avalokitesvara statue on the bedside, and then dragged a chair over to sit on the side of the bed with his chin propped up.Just sitting bored, the two lay side by side on the bed, he looked at Sai Tianxian for a while and then at Pei Ling, remembering that Pei Ling pressed Sai Tianxian's hand before lying down, instead he just followed Pei Ling's example and Place Pei Ling's hands on his chest, so that the two of them are in the same posture.

"Don't say it, it looks good like this." Dai Zhiyi smiled and patted Pei Ling's folded hands on his chest, and then inhaled the incense. He was also a little drowsy, but he kept in mind to guard Pei Ling However, he couldn't bear the drowsiness, so he had to take out a triangular talisman that he had hidden deeply. It was left to him by his master before his death. He thought that there should be nothing wrong with the master's talisman.Thinking of it this way, he felt much more at ease, and Yi Zhiyi, holding the triangular talisman, was attacked by sleepiness, sat on the chair and dozed off and nodded.

What Zhiyi didn't know was that one of his silly and playful actions made Pei Ling accidentally see another person's past.When he folded Pei Ling's hands on his chest, he didn't notice at all that Pei Ling's hands were pressed on the safety card he had been wearing through his clothes.It was a safe card that was accidentally obtained from Yin Chengyu.

When Pei Ling first fell asleep, he didn't know where he was. The environment was a little strange, a bit like being in the Tang family, but upon closer inspection, there was a difference. The beams of this house were much lower than that of the Tang family, so it felt a little depressing.When I went further inside, there was an incense room, separated by a curtain, and there was someone kneeling in front of the mat and sifting powder.

Pei Ling looked at Yixi, thinking that it was Sai Tianxian, and was about to step forward, but after taking a few steps forward, the closer he got to the person, the more Pei Ling noticed something was wrong, and finally his eyes fell on those hands that sifted powder Looking up along the hand, there is a ghostly birthmark on the exposed forearm.

Pei Ling frowned, "He's not Xian'er, he's..."

"Chengyu." A female voice sounded behind him.

The person kneeling and sifting the powder turned his head in response, and Pei Ling finally saw his appearance. The appearance that had been buried by time after meeting him once became clear in front of Pei Ling's eyes. Pei Ling remembered him, Yin Chengyu, or Junxiu, 17 years old.

"Mom." Yin Chengyu put down the things in his hands and called Mom to the person, then helped her to sit down, "How is Dad?"

"Your father is going to die. Your grandfather is not at home recently, so that woman is tyrannical at home and won't let me see your father!"

Yin Huimiao Master Yin has an only son who has always been in poor health. His eldest wife has nowhere to go out all year round, but the one raised outside is lucky to be pregnant. This is a surprise for the thin Yin family.Old man Yin naturally wanted to let the blood of his only son enter the house, but the eldest lady, whose family background is quite important in the local area, refused to allow that woman to enter the house no matter what.After a long period of see-sawing, all parties compromised. Since then, the Yin family has a second wife, but they are not allowed to leave the backyard without permission, and the child born with them has been detained in the backyard since childhood.

"Don't worry, that woman won't be able to act for a long time. Once your father leaves, the Yin family will be yours, and our mother and son will be able to walk out of this backyard."

Yin Chengyu remained silent. He never thought that the Yin family would be his own. He only thought about whether his father's illness would improve.In the past, when his father was in good health, he often came to visit him, and would take him out when he was happy, and only then Yin Chengyu could go out to see the world outside Yin's house.He didn't quite understand why his mother was only obsessed with this narrow Yin family, obviously the outside world was very big.Sometimes he thought, if only his mother didn't use his stomach as a bargaining chip to enter Yin's house back then, if only he was an ordinary child.

Later, his father's health became worse and worse, and the number of visits to him decreased, and Yin Chengyu seldom had the opportunity to go out.He didn't go to school, and my aunt got a tutor and asked him to study at home.His mother would always scold behind her back, and after scolding, she turned around and said to herself, "Chengyu, that woman is afraid that you will go out and meet other children, and you will have your own contacts in the future. You must study hard and not lose."

His mother is really afraid that he will be confined in a corner and become an ignorant person, but she is not at ease with what the teacher brought by the lady is teaching. She always thinks that the teacher and the lady are the same, no He knows how to teach well, so he has to read the books himself before teaching Yin Chengyu. In addition, because the master of the Yin family has a lot of incense and is obsessed with incense, his mother will ask him to learn how to make incense.

When he was 17 years old, when Yin Chengyu heard that his father was going to die, Yin Chengyu started to make incense cards.He remembered that when he was a child, his father took him to the western suburbs to offer incense. Behind the temple there was a tree full of incense plaques, which were used by the world to hang up for prayer.He also hung one, sitting on his father's shoulders.

Now that he couldn't see his father, he had to sincerely pray for his father's safety, so he made incense cards day and night, wrapped them with red thread, and hung them on the tree in the yard.

The tree is very tall, with a trunk as thick as two people. I heard that the tree was there when Grandpa bought the old courtyard.It is tall and big, with its branches protruding from the wall. Yin Chengyu is very envious when he looks at it, because even if it is a tree that cannot be moved, the branches can still reach out of the wall. If it is taller, you can see the world outside Yin's house .But he, a living man with two legs, is still walking around in this backyard.

His father was sick, and no one let him sit on his shoulders to hang the incense card with sincere wishes. He had to throw it upwards vigorously, and hang the incense card on the tree with luck.Over time, the lower trunks were covered with incense plaques.

Someone rushed to report that day, saying that the uncle woke up and wanted to see the second wife. Yin Chengyu looked at his mother in surprise and hurriedly stroked his hair to tell him to stay well, then followed them away.

Hearing that his father was awake, Yin Chengyu was also very happy. He took out the newly made incense plate and tied it with a red thread, intending to hang it on the tree.Although it is not entirely due to his father's awakening from a coma for a long time, it should also have a little part of his own role. Didn't grandpa come across the incense cards he made that day and boasted that they were well made, and took one away?

The day he was praised by his grandfather, his mother was very happy for a long time, although the aunt's eyes were not very good when she saw him later.But Yin Chengyu didn't care too much, anyway, my aunt didn't like him since she was a child.

The low tree trunks are already full. If it is hanging on a tree, it has to be thrown high.Yin Chengyu took the incense plate engraved with the word "Ping An" and looked at the high tree trunk, closed his eyes and said silently in his heart, "If this is hung up, Dad's health will be better." After reading, he threw it up .

He was so nervous that he didn't dare to open his eyes when he threw it. He opened his eyes only after he had let go of his hand. He saw the incense card being thrown sideways and went over the wall, and then he heard someone "ouch" from outside the wall.

Yin Chengyu realized that it was not good, he hit someone, he quickly picked the wall and asked, "Are you all right?"

"Who?!"

Hearing this tone, he didn't seem to be all right, but he asked himself who was he?Don't you know that you live inside the high wall in the backyard?Who in Yin's house didn't know that the second wife and his son were detained in the backyard to live.Could it be that he is not from the Yin family?

"who are you?"

The person outside the wall said angrily, "I was the one who asked you first, and if you smashed it, I didn't apologize and asked who I am?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I just wanted to hang the incense card on the tree to pray. I didn't expect to use too much force and go over the wall, let alone hit you."

After hearing his call, the other party shifted the focus, "Pray?"

I don’t know each other across the wall. Yin Chengyu rarely has people of the same age who can talk. Hearing the voice, he feels that the other party is about the same age as himself. Yin Chengyu told him, “My father was sick. When I was young, he took him to the temple to offer incense. Hang the incense plaque on the tree to pray. So now that he is sick, I hope he will recover, so I will hang the incense plaque on the tree like in the temple, and pray for my father’s recovery from illness.”

"Will it be useful to hang it up?" The other party's voice was sullen, "My father also..."

The man didn't continue talking, but Yin Chengyu could tell that the other party's situation was similar to his own, so he comforted, "It's useful, I prayed day and night, and now my father has woken up."

"So smart? Then can you lend me this?"

"Let me hang up?" Although the other party's voice sounds about the same age as me, but the words are more childish, "Why are you hanging up?"

After Yin Chengyu asked the other person, there was no voice. At first he thought it was the person on the other side who was stopped by him, but after waiting for a while, there was no answer. Yin Chengyu thought he might leave.Finally, there was someone who was the same age as him and could talk to him. Yin Chengyu really hoped that he could stay a little longer. Realizing that the other party might have left, he knocked on the wall anxiously.

"Hey, are you still there?"

"I am here."

The sound came from the top of his head, Yin Chengyu raised his head when he heard the sound, there was a wind blowing, the leaves were rustling by the wind, the person riding on the wall waved and smiled at him, and the bell on his hand fluttered with his waving movement Not once did it ring.The wind rang, the tree rang, and the bell rang, so when the heart rang, it was hard to detect it for a while.Yin Chengyu was just in a daze, it turned out that the person across from him was so good-looking.

The man on the wall also looked at him, then tilted his head with a smile, "So you look like this."

I am curious about the same appearance of the other party, but I don't know if he will be like myself, and my heart will be so chaotic at first sight.

Probably not, because he didn't stop for a long time like himself and forget to speak.He glanced at himself, and after satisfying his curiosity, he probably had no reason to take another look, and looked up at the place he was more interested in.

Yin Chengyu looked at him pointing at the high tree trunk with the incense tablet and asked himself, "Is it okay to hang it there?"

Yin Chengyu stared blankly at him for a moment and forgot to answer. When he lowered his head in doubt and looked at himself again, he nodded mechanically.

He watched the other party stand up. When he stood up unsteadily and swayed, Yin Chengyu blurted out worriedly, "Be careful."

However, the other party didn't care. He opened his hands and stabilized his body, then tiptoed and stretched his arms to touch the branch.Yin Chengyu hung his heart with his movements, and all the emotions in his heart swayed with the branch he grabbed.

When he didn't reach it, Yin Chengyu frowned with him, and when he finally grabbed some branches, he laughed with him.The incense card was finally hung up, but Yin Chengyu didn't feel the joy of the past in his heart, he just watched him close his eyes and make a wish on the incense card, and said to the incense card seriously, "Please bless the gods."

Before he let go after making the wish, Yin Chengyu hastily asked him, "Are you still coming?"

"Huh?" When asked suddenly, he turned his head reflexively, loosened the branch he was holding in his hand, and scratched his wrist, "I don't know, I came with my mother. If my mother didn't If you ask about your father's news, you should come again."

Yin Chengyu still wanted to ask if he could come to him again, but before he asked, he heard the other party say, "But I probably won't come."

Yin Chengyu asked him anxiously, "Why?"

The other party smiled and pointed to the incense card that had just been hung up, "Because I made a wish, and if I hang it up, it will be fulfilled, right? Dad is back, and I have no reason to come again."

"Oh, that's it." Yin Chengyu didn't ask any more, he thought he couldn't say it again, because if he said it, he didn't want his father to be better.

"I have to go to my mother, she has to worry if she can't see me."

"Well, then..."

Before seeing the words, the man disappeared on the wall.Yin Chengyu stared at the wall for a long time, everything came and went too fast, which made him feel unreal.When the wind picked up again, he came back to his senses. After being shaken by the wind, he suddenly woke up. He thought to himself, forget it, don't look forward to those distant things.After consoling myself, I wanted to go back to my room, but I heard a crisp sound in the wind.

Yin Chengyu looked up, and there was a bell hanging on the branch swaying in the wind, which was entangled with the incense tablet that had just been hung.

"that is not……"

Sometimes in this world, there are always expectations brought by accident, and the sudden arrival is surprising, just like his appearance, and then the rational "forget it" and "don't expect it" that I persuaded myself earlier disappeared in an instant, and delusions quietly appeared in my heart.

Yin Chengyu looked at the branch and thought, isn't that the bell on his hand?Probably it was accidentally scratched off by a tree branch when hanging the incense card.Yin Chengyu looked at the bell on the tree, suddenly smiled, turned around on the spot, found some stones, and threw them one by one towards the tree, trying to knock down the bell.If he beat it down and kept it by himself, wouldn't he come back and look for him?
