Chapter 17 Burning Incense

A hobby in the true sense must be based on certain financial capabilities.

Obviously, I don’t have this ability, so what he collected, in my opinion, is the most "priced" image of Grandpa Mao, a plaster-shaped figure, and a portrait of Grandpa Qiang who was not sure who had been burned from the stove.

When I was very young, what the old man liked to do in his spare time was to point to his own ‘collections’ and tell me one by one, what are these people and what their deeds were.

It is precisely because of my quirk that I did not take much effort to recognize the identities and origins of eight wood carvings.

Su Qin, Sun Bin, Shang Yang, Li Si, Bai Qi, Mao Sui, Fan Li... Which of these are not famous figures in history?

One of them is difficult to identify, but after recognizing the identities of the first seven, looking at the person's outfit, combined with the anecdotes of the characters that I told me, I immediately guessed the identity of this person by summarizing common points.

This person was Xu Fu, who led thousands of boys and girls to the sea to cross the east to explore overseas fairy mountains for Qin Shihuang!

While recognizing the identities of the eight wood carvings, I finally found the source of the strange fragrance. I carefully picked up a wood carving, observed it carefully, and confirmed a little more.

These wood-carved portraits are not just handicrafts, but their real function is actually eight incense-burning cauldrons!

However, this is not a common incense burner, but a backflow incense cauldron with holes inside!

In theory, the backflow fragrance is not only not unusual, but in recent years, there have been many petty bourgeois people who are elegance.

However, as Li Ping said, the house has been empty for at least three years, and the sealing of the old house is not that good. Even if the door has only been opened recently, the old door has had several cracks, and the smell should have been dissipated after so long.

Moreover, the fragrance is too strange...

I looked around and suddenly saw a small wooden box on the bookshelf.

I swear I was just curious and had no idea of ​​stealing valuable items from my family.

More importantly, when I saw the wooden box, I seemed to think of what was inside.

When I opened the unlocked glass door of the bookcase, I picked up the wooden box and looked behind the wooden box. Looking at the title of the book, it seemed like a book related to physiognomy.

Looking back at the furnishings in the house, I couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the owner of the study also loves metaphysics?

The wooden box is very ordinary, not even fully solid wood. Through the wooden box, you can't smell too obvious.

When I opened the wooden box, as I thought, there were indeed eight tower-shaped incense inside. When I put it to my nose and smelled it, it seemed like ordinary sandalwood.

After hesitating for a while, I still called Li Ping.

When the phone was connected, I apologized to him first, saying that I went up to the second floor without permission. Then I told him that I felt strange to find.

Li Ping seemed to be eating something, and said vaguely on the other end of the phone: "I have seen the eight incense seats you mentioned before, but I don't know who those eight are. I bought the box of incense. I thought it was fun at that time, but when the incense was received, I felt bored and had no interest.

By the way, I only received a call from my aunt in the morning, saying that their family was not going to come back to live, and asked me to help find an agent and sell the house. I asked her to deliberately ask her and she asked me to take care of everything in the house.

Alas, I'm not trying to be careless about you. I mean, you don't have to think too much. Just during this period, you can do whatever you want in that house. Anyway, you're idle, and it would be best if you can find a buyer and deal with those household items."

I said I didn't dare to make decisions about this. The bed of Arhat looks worth a lot of money, and those books are even more unproducible. I saw that several books were as old as my grandfather.

I hung up the phone, and I had no worries.

Seeing that the incense is just right, don’t compete with yourself. Beating your child on a rainy day is also idle. Anyway, it’s a bargain for online shopping. Instead of throwing it away at the end, it’s better to order it and just treat it as a sightseeing!

With this idea, I didn't care about it and lit the incense directly.

However, out of admiration for the ancients, after I slurped the incense on each scent, I bowed my hands to worship the wood carving three times.

Perhaps because of the unique structure of the fragrant tripod, the fragrance emits surprisingly slowly after the fragrance is ignited.

I ordered seven pieces in a row and worshiped seven wood carvings. I just smelled a little, and it was just an ordinary sandalwood smell.

However, when the eighth aromatherapy ignites and puts it in the palm of Xu Fu's holding hands, I suddenly felt a burst of numbness all over my body.

That is definitely not ordinary numbness. For example, if a person squats in the toilet for a long time, after standing up, his legs are not in charge, and his body is filled with snowflakes like a TV screen.

It's not part, but the whole body, and the brain, so it's irritating and unable to think about things.

Before this feeling appeared, I was planning to worship Xu Fu's image, but the sudden numbness made me moan too late. I took a few steps back, turned sideways, and knelt on the ground.

The brain is completely unable to think, but fear circulates through thinking and spreads rapidly until it fills the whole body.

I just felt my vision blurring, but at this moment, I saw a huge portrait on the originally blank wall facing the arhat bed!

I can only say that my quirks and the things I told have had a deep impact on me.

Although my eyelids were heavy and I was getting more and more unclear when I saw the outline of the portrait, I identified the person's identity at the first glance.

However, at the next moment, I finally couldn't hold on and completely lost my consciousness...

I don’t know how long it took, but I heard a sound of footsteps. I opened my eyes with difficulty, and the first thing that caught my eye was a pair of feet.

I couldn't move all over, so I could only turn my eyes. Looking up along these feet, I saw a top with a back like a ladybug, standing in front of the bookshelf.

Following the man's footsteps, his eyes turned to one side. The man pulled open his chair and sat in front of a desk next to the treasure pavilion.

From a special angle, I finally saw the side face of this person.

It was like an old man outside of sixty, wearing a Tang suit...or, it was more like a shroud worn by a dead person.

The old man started to open a book. He read it very carefully and gave people the feeling that it was just a matter of this inch, and it was his own world.

At this time, I was like I was in a nightmare, unable to tell whether what I saw was reality or illusion.

It is precisely because of this that my eyes finally only stayed on the side of the old man.

Gradually, I began to realize that his side face was a little familiar.

My body still cannot move, but my brain's thinking begins to become more active.

I began to find that this numb feeling was not unfamiliar to me, but when it appeared some time ago, it was definitely not as strong as it is now.

It is precisely because of the "civilization" of my brain that I have also identified another thing that I absolutely unexpected.

——The old man sitting under the lamp in front of me, who was focusing on reading, turned out to be the one I once gave me a meal, Yang Wudao!
