ask incense

Pei Ling didn't understand, Zhao Ming didn't make it clear, but Sai Tianxian suddenly interjected, "Because of passing the test like this, no matter how you feel, you won't get better."

Pei Ling turned to look at him, and saw that Sai Tianxian was still thinking about the Pisces jade sachet he gave, Pei Ling was puzzled, why he was so reluctant to part with it, "Didn't I promise to give you the gold ring?"

Sai Tianxian pursed his lips in aggrieved way, "But that, it's the first time you gave it to me, it's different after all."

Zhao Ming on the other side also sighed, "After all, mine has been away from home for a long time, so it's different to me."

From being prominent in the family to being down and down, all the valuable pawns were wiped out.Only keep that one as a thought, because I really can't forget the rich and noble days when I stretched out my hand in front of my clothes and was served by others.

Pei Ling looked at Sai Tianxian, then at Zhao Ming, and finally at the tray placed beside the oily man. There were several trays lined up, all of which were rare items handed in by them.

He carefully observed the greasy-headed man's expression and the playful smile of the young master behind him. He also carefully looked at the next few people who were judged to be acceptable. He did not feel the joy of passing the object. On the contrary, his face was full of dissatisfaction. The treasure that has left her side is reluctant and lonely.

Pei Ling suddenly understood, maybe the rare items that were stipulated at the beginning may not be valuable treasures, but they are very precious to the treasure donors. As for how to evaluate the rarity of the items, it depends on the delivery , How much reluctance the other party has on his face.

Perhaps when Yue Hefeng asked Tang Lin if he believed in curses, he said that there was no Santa Claus in this world, and it was not as he thought.Pei Ling thought that Tang Lin didn't believe in these illusory things, but judging from the current situation, it should be contrary to what Pei Ling thought at the beginning, Tang Lin believed in these things.

Looking forward to Santa Claus who will give gifts is the innocence and beauty of children. However, without Santa Claus in the adult world, the beauty will disappear.That's why Tang Lin set up this level. What he wants is not some rare item, what he wants is someone else's loss.

After figuring this out, Pei Ling looked at the young master behind the housekeeper again. Looking at the smile on his face now, Pei Ling seemed to understand a little bit, but at the same time he didn't understand, because the frivolity on that young master's face seemed so frivolous. It's not like Tang Lin who is thinking about it.

After everyone's treasures have been verified, those who failed in the row on the right will be escorted away by two security guards, and the row on the left where Pei Ling and the others are standing will be led by the butler around the mountain and water screen wall and into the courtyard.Before going in, the butler asked the young master who was watching the whole process, "Master Xuan, is he going to find our young master next, or continue to look down?"

That Young Master Xuan seems to be very interested in what's going to happen next, "How will the next arrangement be? I've come to this Douxiang Club several times, and every time I don't know how you selected those invitations that you didn't send out, and sent them to your door automatically." Man, I really want to see it this year.”

The butler said with a smile, "Since Young Master Xuan is interested, follow me and take a look."

Everyone followed the housekeeper to Kuayuan, and saw water tanks lined up in the courtyard.Seeing so many water tanks, Pei Ling was puzzled, "It's dry and dry, so there's no need to put so many water tanks to prevent fire."

Zhao Ming, who came in side by side with them, just smiled when he heard Pei Ling's words, "You can't see it, can you?"

Pei Ling looked at him, "What do you see?"

Zhao Ming pointed to the futons and incense mats prepared in front of each water tank, and a complete set of incense utensils on the table. It looked like he was going to test the incense skills, but it was more than that simple. Zhao Ming looked at Pei Ling with a smile, "Don't you Do you know the water fragrance seal?"

Pei Ling forced a smile, assuming that she knew, "Of course I know, I didn't think of it for a while."

"Hmm." Zhao Ming let out a long sound in his throat. He glanced at Pei Ling and didn't look into it. After all, no matter if he knew it or not, it's useless to show off his skills when it's time for the real kung fu test.

When Zhao Ming turned his head away, Pei Ling became a little anxious, and asked Sai Tianxian next to him, "Do you know what water fragrance seal is?"

Sai Tianxian blinked at Pei Ling, well, it looks like he doesn't know, Pei Ling is completely at a loss.At that time, we can only learn from others.

Everyone was led to sit at the table one by one, Pei Ling and Sai Tianxian were seated together, fortunately Zhao Ming was next to Pei Ling, which made Pei Ling feel more at ease, and just do what Zhao Ming did when the time came.

After everyone sat down safely, the butler finally said, "Those who can light the incense on the water will pass."

As soon as the words fell, everyone lowered their heads and began to operate, but Pei Ling didn't know where to start.He glanced at Zhao Ming next to him, to see how Zhao Ming operated, so that he could follow suit.

Pei Ling saw that Zhao Ming was calmly weighing the paper ashes, put them into the small burning stove, added beeswax, and stirred carefully.

Pei Ling didn't understand what he was doing, but he could only imitate Zhao Ming, but here comes the question, how much paper ashes should be put, and how much beeswax should be put, this ratio cannot be learned on the spot .

When he was worried about the preparation, when he looked back, Sai Tianxian had already stirred the paper ashes and beeswax together.

Pei Ling was very surprised, looking at Sai Tianxian who was mixing the wax mud in the furnace, he didn't know what to say to him for a while.On the contrary, Sai Tianxian was very happy, as if he was playing house, he turned his head and smiled at Pei Ling, showing his beautiful teeth, his expression said it was really fun.

Pei Ling had no choice but to rub his temples and asked Sai Tianxian, "How are you worthy?"

Sai Tianxian, who was having fun, shook his head, "Just throw it in casually, and then, stir, stir."

Pei Lingchou patted her forehead, "It's not a casual mix-up. I think people are all weighing and proportioning, and they are accurate."

Sai Tianxian saw that Pei Ling's expression was not good, and he looked sad. He came closer, bent down, and looked up at Pei Ling who was holding his forehead and bowing his head. Pei Ling looked down and looked so flattering to himself. Do you think I won’t be angry if you pretend to be cute?”

Sai Tianxian pursed his lips innocently, "Then you, know what to do, do you deserve it?"

Pei Ling shook her head, "I don't know either."

"Since you don't know, then just do whatever you want." Sai Tianxian straightened up and patted Pei Ling on the shoulder, "Be more casual, we are already slower than others."

Sai Tianxian's unreasonable reasoning sounds irrefutable. Pei Ling looked up and saw that everyone was starting to fill in and shake the powder. He didn't care too much. He seemed to be enjoying himself, and remembered that he was more proficient in the process of incense than himself. Although he didn't know why he was proficient in this way, Pei Ling thought to himself, anyway, he was a monk halfway, so he might as well leave it to Sai Tianxian. No matter what the result is, at least he is happy.

After handing it all over to Sai Tianxian, Pei Ling only looked at it with his head on one side, watching Sai Tianxian prepare the incense powder, and then evenly fill the incense powder into the circle-shaped incense stamper, scrape the surface and use a small spoon to scoop up the heat in the furnace. The melted soft wax clay is covered with incense stamps little by little, and it is rolled and sorted from time to time.

Pei Ling unconsciously became obsessed with watching. He watched Sai Tianxian's slender fingers hold the incense spoon, grind the wax mud, and didn't weigh it, because he knew what he was doing, so he filled and crushed it smoothly.Pei Ling used to think about what kind of family Sai Tianxian grew up in to have such slender and long hands. Now seeing him kneeling before sitting on the desk, raising his hands and drooping his eyebrows, his appearance of being salty and sweet is really pleasing to the eye .

"Please hurry up!"

The butler reminded him that Pei Ling woke up. Knowing that he had just fallen into a trance, he quickly pretended to look elsewhere, only to see the idle person whom the butler called Xuan Shao was leaning on the pillar and looking at him.Pei Ling frowned, and pushed the small furnace in front of Sai Tianxian, just blocking Sai Tianxian's face.It was probably because Pei Ling's behavior was too naive, but Xuan Shao made Xuan Shao lower his head and smile, and then looked elsewhere.

Pei Ling was very concerned about that Young Master Xuan's gaze. It wasn't enough to block it with the stove, but he had to use his peripheral vision to confirm that the bastard who coveted Sai Tianxian had behaved himself at the moment. In the end, the playboy still behaved frivolously, but he didn't act anymore. Seeing Sai Tianxian, he turned to look at the one next to them.

Pei Ling followed his gaze and glanced to the side, and also watched Zhao Ming's incense making process for a while, and saw that Sai Tianxian was almost the same as what he made.Pei Ling turned her head to look at Sai Tianxian who was concentrating on it, and couldn't help thinking of the doubts in her heart earlier, who is he?

But halfway through, Sai Tianxian suddenly dropped his shoulders, turned to Pei Ling and said, "Brother Ling, I'm tired."

Now Pei Ling had to take over, and he asked Sai Tianxian, "What should I do next?"

Exhausted of energy today, Sai Tianxian looked powerless, but he still managed to tell Pei Ling, "When the wax solidifies, you cut a piece of paper." Sai Tianxian pointed to the wax-covered incense seal that was drying, "and this Size, about the same."

"Okay." Pei Ling started cutting according to Sai Tianxian's instructions. When the paper was almost cut, the wax solidified and covered the incense seal with a thin layer.

Sai Tianxian said again, "Put it upside down on the paper and knock it down."

"okay."

Pei Ling still did as he said, but unfortunately he had a strong hand, and when he reversed the buckle too quickly, he heard a "click" sound, which sounded like he had broken the thin wax on the bottom of the seal. With a click, he secretly shouted that it was bad, don't break it, this was done carefully by Sai Tianxian, and there is no chance to start all over again.

Just at this time, someone at another table failed to remove the mold, or it was broken or cracked, and two or three failed to remove the mold were invited to the seat by the housekeeper.Pei Ling froze and didn't dare to move, especially when the housekeeper passed by.Pei Ling frowned, feeling a little sorry for Sai Tianxian's hard work, and went to see him apologetically.

Sai Tianxian still looked like he didn't know why he was nervous, but when he saw Pei Ling's body stiffen, and then saw him clasping Xiang Fan's hand that hadn't moved, he suddenly let out an "ah" and turned to flip a button on the table. After all the utensils, they finally found a box of almond flour and brought it to Pei Ling.

Pei Ling looked at the almond flour that was handed to him, and sighed, "Now is not the time to make something to drink." He thought that Sai Tianxian was tired just now, and now he found this box of almond flour to soak To satisfy one's hunger.

"No." Sai Tianxian opened the box by himself, and sifted the almond powder onto the Xiangyin fan. "With almond powder, it's easy to remove the mold."

After shaking the almond flour, Sai Tianxian gave Pei Ling a relieved smile, "Try again."

The next knock was to release the Xiangyin from the mold. Because of the mistake just now, Pei Ling lost some confidence, and then glanced at Zhao Ming next to him, and saw that Zhao Ming had also reached the step of unmolding, and he was holding the Xiangyin model upside down. Tapping the bottom, Pei Ling looked back at the upside-down fan on his case, and Pei Ling became nervous.

After so many years of punching, he really doesn't know what it means to handle with care. He is a little uncertain about the strength of his hands at the moment, for fear that he will accidentally destroy the thing that Sai Tianxian has worked so hard to form, and there is a greasy head in front of him. The steward's stare, if there is a mistake, there is no chance to do it again.If you fail at this pass, you will miss the wishing incense.

All of a sudden, there were thousands of thoughts, and he was very entangled in his heart, which was also the reason why Pei Ling didn't do anything for a long time.When he paused, the others stopped and knelt on the mat, waiting for the butler to check.Sai Tianxian, who was already very tired, saw Pei Ling stop moving, and then saw Pei Ling's tangled expression, reached out and covered the back of his hand.

The back of his hand was cool for a while, Pei Ling lowered his head and looked at Sai Tianxian's hand covering his back. He turned his head and looked at him, and a smile appeared on Sai Tianxian's pale face. Strongly encouraged Pei Ling, "It's okay, Brother Ling."

With his words, Pei Ling calmed down a little. Among the crowd, they were the only ones who hadn't finished yet, and some people had already assumed the attitude of sitting and watching a joke. The butler also raised his hand and checked his watch to confirm the time, and there was no further delay, Pei Ling He and Sai Tianxian looked at each other and nodded in each other's eyes to show their trust.

After taking a deep breath, Pei Ling tapped the bottom, once, twice and three times, and finally knocked off the incense seal from the ring pattern. Carefully lifted the incense seal fan, and the same ring pattern appeared.

Seeing the complete incense seal that came out of the mold, Pei Ling was overwhelmed with surprise, turned her head and smiled at Sai Tianxian, and said to Sai Tianxian in a seldom complacent, "Xian'er, did you see that it came down as a whole."

Sai Tianxian smiled and nodded, "Brother Ling, I just, I know, you can do it."

Pei Ling scratched her head and smiled.

Everyone was finished, the butler stepped forward to check, and when passing by one of them, he bent down to check carefully and then shook his head.

The man immediately became anxious when he saw this, "It just looks like it has a slight flaw, but it will definitely ignite on the water! Give it a chance."

The speaker spoke earnestly, but the cold-faced housekeeper was extremely strict, "So what if it burns, there are broken lines, which affects the aesthetic feeling. Even if you can really light it up at that time, so what if the smoke goes out at the broken lines? Incense is not only A thing that nourishes and delights people is more practical for timing. How can people know the time when the incense burns halfway and then breaks?"

Listening on the sidelines, Pei Ling, who was half a bottle of water, became worried about the high requirements not only for beauty but also for practicality.Because I don't have a deep foundation, I really can't be calm.Looking at Zhao Ming at the side, after hearing those words, he lost his composure at first, and seemed to be very worried that the incense he made would not be able to meet the strict requirements.

He and Pei Ling looked at each other and smiled wryly, neither knowing how to respond.After a short meeting between fellow sufferers and fellow sufferers, Zhao Ming withdrew his gaze and accidentally saw Young Master Xuan who was watching all of this.He looked at young master Xuan who was leaning on the pillar and yawning, his idleness was in stark contrast to the nervousness of the crowd below.It is the level of family background that forms such a contrast.

Idlers are most able to detect the gaze cast on them, especially in such a tense situation, Xuan Shao sensed the source of the gaze, turned his head slightly to look back, and looked at Zhao Ming with great interest.

Zhao Mingfei quickly retracted his gaze, lowered his head and bit his lower lip tightly. Just at this time, the oily butler had come to him. Also missed the opportunity to know more elimination principles.

The less he knew, the more uncertain he was. Now that the butler had walked in front of him, coupled with the mocking gaze cast from not far away, Zhao Ming's heart was beating like a drum, and he couldn't calm down no matter what.

The housekeeper walked up to Zhao Ming's desks, and was about to bend down with his hands behind his back to take a closer look at the incense seals he had made, but Zhao Ming, who lowered his head, felt a shadow covering him, making him short of breath.The housekeeper looked carefully, and was about to say something when he heard Xuan Shao, who was leaning against a pillar watching the play not far away, cough.

The housekeeper understood, so he stopped talking, got up and went to the next table, and Pei Ling went to their table.Zhao Ming still buried his face deeply and did not look up.

Seeing Zhao Ming like this, Pei Ling thought he was nervous. After all, the housekeeper's tolerance for flaws made it impossible for people to have a fluke mentality.

But after all, Pei Ling is a man with a lot of experience. He has been in any kind of dangerous situation, and he is not like Zhao Ming, who is so nervous that he can't lift his head. When the housekeeper walked in front of him, he still stood up straight With his back stretched, there was an aura of anti-client.But he had never encountered such an elegant situation, so he was inevitably a little guilty, and since it was related to Sai Tianxian, he still sneaked into Sai Tianxian's hands under the table, just to be sure.

Fortunately, the steward did not say that there was any flaw in their incense seals after inspection. Pei Ling was overjoyed, and before he could give Sai Tianxian a hug to congratulate, the steward went on to say, "The few who are not bad in appearance, don't be happy. It's too early, next, if the incense seal you made can be successfully ignited on the water, then you are truly qualified to participate in the incense fighting meeting."
