ask incense

The security guard came and asked several people to leave. Before the rest of them had time to rejoice that they had just passed a level, they heard the butler shout, "Please burn incense on the water."

Without even giving them a chance to catch their breath, those who barely passed the Xiangyin appearance got up again with their papers on their hands, and walked towards the water tank behind them.

Pei Ling moved a step slower than others.Sai Tianxian was already tired, and finally the task of burning incense on the water still fell on him.However, Pei Ling still had lingering fears because of his carelessness when he reversed the incense seal just now. In Pei Ling's eyes, the incense was very brittle, and he was afraid that it would break if he was not careful. By the side of the tank, only Pei Ling hadn't moved yet.

Sai Tianxian looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Pei Ling sighed and stroked her cropped hair, "This thing is so small, and you worked so hard to make it. You see, I'm a rough person. I'm afraid that when I hold the incense for a while, I don't think it's important. This thing will ruin my hands again."

Sai Tianxian only laughed when he heard that, Pei Ling was angry that he didn't take it seriously at all, it was related to whether they could win Xiangyuan Xiang.

"You still laugh, it's related to your body, your past, be serious."

As soon as Pei Ling said it, Sai Tianxian smiled, "I'm not worried, you will make mistakes. After all, Brother Ling, you are a gentle person."

The word gentle makes Pei Ling feel more comfortable than a good person.

A frivolous look appeared on Sai Tianxian's face again, "When you hold me and touch me, it's very light and gentle, just like that, it's fine."

Just now, because of Sai Tianxian's gentle words, Pei Ling's heart was a little touched, but when he heard him suddenly say this, Pei Ling became a little uncomfortably serious, "You are inconvenient to walk, so I hugged you, you are weak and you like to be clean , I was afraid that you would catch cold in the shower, so I wiped your body for you, why does this sound so sound to you..."

Sai Tianxian didn't feel that what he said was wrong, and looked at Pei Ling confidently, "What?"

Pei Ling glanced at him, and only said three words in a low voice, "Not serious!"

After finishing speaking, it doesn't matter how Sai Tianxian reacted, he was already too late, and he couldn't continue to entangle, so he had to bite the bullet.

Pei Ling stretched out his hand towards the incense seal on the table, but when he was about to touch it, he still paused. The small incense seal was not as big as his palm. Pei Ling was really at a loss when faced with such a small and delicate thing.Panicked, I couldn't help but glance at Sai Tianxian.

The exhausted Sai Tianxian was about to lie down on the table. Pei Ling reached out to support his back, flattened his legs, and put his futon under his knees, hoping that he could sit more comfortably.After adjusting his posture, Sai Tianxian's fatigue eased a little, and he raised his eyes and gave Pei Ling a smile.Pei Ling saw that he was smiling at her, but she could still bear it. She felt relieved and withdrew her hand. When she retracted her hand, Pei Ling looked down at her hand, then at Sai Tianxian, and finally turned her gaze from Sai Tianxian to The newly made incense on the table again.

Pei Ling looked at Xiang and thought, Sai Tianxian said that his movements are gentle, so don't worry, just drag Xiang like he did to him.

A thought suddenly came to Pei Ling's mind, is what he said right?Wouldn't it be enough to think of the newly made incense as a fairy?They all look small and fragrant, delicate and fragile.

With an idea in mind, Pei Ling stretched out his hand towards the incense seal on the table, without stopping this time.Thin wax print, white paper backing, Pei Ling picked up the bottom paper with both hands, remembering that he had bathed Sai Tianxian for the first time, when he bent down and hugged Sai Tianxian, Sai Tianxian put his hand gently on him in cooperation shoulder.The white paper is the same color as his skin, and the looped lines are very similar to Sai Tianxian's skinny skeleton, which can always show the veins under the skin when breathing slowly.

I don’t know if the Prophet created man, just like they printed incense, with a skeleton mold, holding a small spoon, and stuffing flesh and blood into it little by little. Such delicate work requires delicate and slender hands. Well, a rough hand like myself can't do this kind of work, it's as good as Sai Tianxian's hand.

Thinking of Sai Tianxian's hands, Pei Ling also thought of his tranquil appearance when he was making incense. He thought that Sai Tianxian, whose appearance was superior to that of an immortal, must have been filled with flesh and blood by the prophet according to his own appearance, so he is so beautiful that he can't eat the world. fireworks.

Walking to the side of the water tank, Pei Ling carefully put the incense seal in his hand into the water. The incense seal floated on the water surface. After a while, the white paper on the backing was soaked in water and sank, sinking to the bottom of the water tank.

When the white paper sank to the bottom, a red fish in the tank suddenly appeared and chased the paper down, probably because it was greedy for the whiteness, so it chased and played. Thinking of Sai Tianxian's skin soaked in water, Pei Ling cheered up a little when the butler walked past him.

It's all because of Sai Tianxian's teasing last night, he actually stood in front of the water tank and became distracted.Now is not the time to be distracted, they are still in the inspection before the Douxiang meeting.Besides, it is too much to have unreasonable thoughts about Sai Tianxian who lacks a soul and is in poor health.

Pei Ling, who came back to his senses, looked at the water tank. He didn't know there were fish in the tank. He just thought it was an ordinary water tank, nothing special. When he found that there were fish, although it added some life to the tank, it was still boring. There are no other decorations.At this moment, the paper-chasing fish swam back to the surface again, looking very bored.

However, with the fragrance imprint on the water, the ordinary water tank looks refined.The thin wax supporting the bottom is like a lotus leaf on water, supporting the powder printing. This water tank originally had fish but no flowers, but now the printing is floating in the water, and the red fish swim shallowly, which complements each other.Looking at it, Pei Ling understood a little bit of this kind of elegant pleasure.

The butler looked at them one by one and saw that everyone's prints were still floating, so he motioned for everyone to light incense.If the incense seal can be successfully lit on the water, then this test can be regarded as completely passed.

Pei Ling swallowed nervously. His movements were always slower than everyone else's. Some people had successfully lit a long sigh of relief, and some had failed to light incense and were dejected.Pei Ling, who had no idea what to do, still bit the bullet, but luckily, it went well, and Pei Ling successfully lighted the incense.The moment it is lit, the flames burn on the water, the tail of the fish swings, the water is a little red, and the water is silky, echoing each other, it turns out that Meisheng can be stored in a curved water tank.

Pei Ling, who had been unlucky for the past [-] years, felt at this moment that it was his chance to change luck. He didn't expect it to be so smooth, or it might be the good luck brought by Sai Tianxian. Pei Ling, who successfully lit incense, looked back Sai Tianxian wanted to convey the joy to him.The two looked at each other and smiled again, but after laughing this time, when Pei Ling met Shang Sai Tianxian's eyes, he remembered his distracted mind just now, and turned his head a little guilty.

The next step is to see if the incense can burn along the road. If it can keep burning continuously, then it will be considered a real success.

It's a pity that Pei Ling's good luck is always short-lived, he just turned his head, and looked back at the incense floating in his water tank, it was already on the verge of disappearing.Pei Ling frowned tightly, not knowing what to do, she just said silently in her heart, don't stop, but don't stop!

Some people's incense burnt halfway out, but the effort so far is almost the last bit, and the mourning face is uglier than a melon.There were also those who were not convinced, but disconnected at the end of the fire, and directly punched the water to vent their hatred, splashing water all over the ground.

Pei Ling's cigarettes were already on the decline. Seeing that the situation was not going well, Pei Ling was much more sensitive than usual. It was because the person who had just splashed water made too much noise, which startled the fish in Pei Ling's water tank. Ripples on the surface of the water.Pei Ling's fragrance seemed to be broken, and the fish under the water was still restless. If the fish made another big movement, then Pei Ling's fragrance would be completely extinguished.

What happened was that it was not good to come here. Seeing that the fish was about to wag its tail restlessly, and the water surface suddenly became choppy, Pei Ling hurriedly closed his eyes and dared not look at it. He finally came here. If the incense is gone now, He couldn't accept it, and he didn't know how to face Sai Tianxian.It's agreed, and he must win Xiang Yuanxiang.

Pei Ling, who closed her eyes tightly and did not dare to look at the result, did not hear the footsteps of the butler approaching her.Pei Ling sniffed her nose. It seemed that the smell of the burning incense was still there, and it didn't look like it was broken.

Pei Ling carefully opened his eyes to check, and the ripples on the water actually became smaller in circles, and the incense was still burning with a small trend.Pei Ling took a step forward in disbelief, wanting to see what happened to the startled fish in the water tank. He had just seen the fish wagging its tail and leaping forward, why did it suddenly stop moving?

Pei Ling leaned forward towards the water surface, the water surface was very calm, Yinxiang was burning leisurely, and there was Pei Ling's reflection on the water surface.Just as he was wondering where the fish was going, suddenly a hand appeared, holding the red carp in his hand. The red carp couldn't struggle, and Pei Ling was reflected in one of the fish's eyes.Then the hand swished, grabbed the fish and sank to the bottom.

Pei Ling was astonished, and took a step back. Seeing that he was different, Sai Tianxian half stood up worriedly, "Brother Ling."

Hearing his voice, the butler, Xuan Shao who was idle watching the show, Zhao Ming who was nervously watching his Yin Xiang's condition, and everyone else cast their eyes on him.

Pei Ling apologized to everyone, and only said that she just reacted when she thought her incense was about to run out, and did not explain what she saw in the water tank.After everyone stopped focusing on him, Pei Ling turned around and gave Sai Tianxian a reassuring look, then turned and looked at the water tank in front of him.

The scene he saw was too weird, so Pei Ling raised his hand and touched the safety card on his chest, thinking that it was underwater, and it had nothing to do with Sai Tianxian falling into the water and sinking to the bottom.Thinking that Sai Tianxian might be involved, Pei Ling calmed down, stood by the water tank again, and leaned over to look inside carefully.

But this time he saw nothing, only the incense burning quietly on the surface of the water. Pei Ling looked left and right at the water tank, but he didn't see the scene just now.He thought that his eyes were dazzled for a while, maybe it was because he was worrying too much, imagining too many fantasies, after all, he was also dreaming when he was holding the paper and putting the incense into the water.

Seeing nothing unusual for a long time, Pei Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to stare at the incense floating on the water.The incense is about to burn out, and the cigarette is not as unstable as before. Seeing that it can be successfully burned to the end, Pei Ling stares at the incense road that is going well, and when he sees the redness of the incense flame, Pei Ling feels that something is wrong, and he feels less what.

He reacted, looked into the water tank, bent down to look at the bottom of the tank, no fish came up for a long time, where was that lively red carp just now?Why is it gone?

Could it be that what I saw was not an illusion?

Pei Ling's terrified face was reflected on the surface of the water. He recalled what he saw just now. The red carp was clearly caught by a hand that suddenly appeared underwater.

Pei Ling was already very concerned about the appearance of his hands, but now that he thought about it for a while, he remembered that it was a hand with red nail polish pinching a red carp, and the red carp stared at Pei Ling very strangely.

Why the hands with red nails?

Pei Ling, who was facing the surface of the water, couldn't figure it out. At this moment, there was another ripple on the surface of the water, but the red carp had obviously disappeared, and there was nothing under the water, so why did there be ripples?Pei Ling didn't pay attention, he just looked at the water surface, his eyes wanted to go to the bottom of the tank to see what was at the bottom of the tank.

At this time, the incense was also burned out, and Pei Ling's incense burned very smoothly without breaking in the middle. The housekeeper came over to congratulate Pei Ling.

"Mr. Gu, congratulations on entering the Douxiang Club."

"Ah?" Pei Ling, who had been looking at the bottom of the tank, raised her head and looked at the housekeeper.

Because Pei Ling passed the Fragrance Fighting Meeting, the butler had a programmed smile on his face, "Next, I will arrange a room for you to rest. Please take care of yourself."

Pei Ling thanked politely, "Oh, okay, thank you."

After the housekeeper nodded politely, he went to the next passer. Zhao Ming also passed by by chance. He came over to talk to Pei Ling, "I came alone. The others here are not as easy-going as you. Let's go together later."

"Okay." Pei Ling agreed. Remembering that Sai Tianxian was still sitting there, he and Zhao Ming briefly said a few words, then turned around to help Sai Tianxian.

Zhao Ming followed Pei Ling and saw Young Master Xuan smiling at him. He froze there, not paying attention to the sound of Pei Ling's water tank behind him. A hand with red nail polish silently dived back to the bottom of the water.

"Congratulations to everyone who passed the test." The butler walked in front of everyone, "I will take everyone to the guest room in the outer courtyard. You have worked hard today, and I will allow you two days to recuperate before officially starting the next incense meeting. "

Pei Ling helped Sai Tianxian, and he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard what the butler said. After this series of events, Sai Tianxian was already very tired, but fortunately, he was given time to recuperate.

"What about my room?" Xuan Shao, who had been watching the show, said at this moment, "Where is my room?"

The butler turned around and bowed to Young Master Xuan, "Young Master Xuan, your room is arranged in the courtyard, and I will guide you there later."

Young Master Xuan seemed dissatisfied with this extra arrangement, "There is no need to make extra arrangements so strenuously. I think you can arrange the outer courtyard for everyone, why not arrange it for me together."

"Outer courtyard? But our young master told you to be a distinguished guest..."

Young Master Xuan raised his eyebrows to look at him, the butler understood, and changed his words, "Young Master Xuan is considerate, but after all, our young master has orders, so how about you live in the first room in the east courtyard?"

As for those who passed the test, they were all arranged in the outer west courtyard.

"Oh, the first room in the east courtyard." Young Master Xuan repeated loudly, his gaze swept across Zhao Ming as if nothing had happened.Zhao Ming's face burned at the sight, and he quietly walked to Pei Ling's side.

It happened that Pei Ling asked him, "Is his residence different from ours?"

Looking at Pei Ling, Zhao Ming couldn't help but smile, laughing that he didn't understand, "He is a person with an invitation card and a guest of honor, so he's naturally different from those of us who came here by ourselves."

"Then will he also participate in the Douxiang meeting in the next two days?" Pei Ling was a little concerned about this Young Master Xuan. After all, he had never seen him make a move, and he didn't know where he came from. is the opponent.

"I don't know about this. To put it bluntly, the Douxiang Club is that these young masters play tricks, and when they are happy, they go off in person, and some of them bring proficient ones to participate. Most of them just sit by and watch. People of status are fighting below, and for them, it may be the same as fighting crickets."

The more Zhao Ming said, the more lonely he became, but Pei Ling was happy when he heard it. It turned out that these young masters didn't really participate in the Xiangxiang meeting. For him, there were fewer opponents and more opportunities to win Xiangxiang.But when he looked back at Zhao Ming, he saw a look of unwillingness on his face.
