"One Xuande for five years, one Xuande for seven years, shouldn't be the original ......,"

At this time, Wang Guan was a little puzzled, looked down at the stove lid in his hand, and saw that the lid was round, about three inches or more, and the weight was very pressing.! There is a button in the cover, which is very simple and has no ornamentation.

In addition, there are many hollow eyelets on the lid, which are scattered all around. However, the eyelets vary in size and are irregular in shape, ranging from round, angular to triangular, and even to the shape of a fishing net.

"Well, there's a little bit of a difference in color."

Yu Feibai carefully observed the contrast, nodded and said: "The furnace body is the color of Tibetan scripture paper, but this cover is bright gold. In contrast, I think that this lid has a higher gold content. ”

The gold content mentioned here is of course not a metaphor, but the real amount of gold. After all, ancient religious people, who were notoriously wealthy, may be more willing to spend money than Emperor Xuande.

"How can you recast a lid?" At the same time, Wang Guan groaned: "The original lid is broken, or is the furnace given by Emperor Xuande uncovered?" ”

"Whatever."

Yu Feibai waved his hand and smiled: "Generally speaking, new stoves are covered with lids, but in the process of circulation, it is easiest to lose the lid." You have a good situation, at least there is a cover of the same period. ”

"Yes." Wang Guan smiled with relief and continued to look at the furnace lid, and also felt that the craftsmanship of the casting lid was very exquisite, and the degree of exquisiteness was not inferior to that of the Xuande furnace body. Even if it's a backyard, it can be regarded as complementing each other.

At this moment, Tang Qinghua asked in surprise: "Old Qian, what are you doing with so much sandalwood?" ”

"What's going on?" Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were a little curious, and hurriedly looked over, only to see that they didn't know when Qian Lao returned to the room and came out with a large bag of spices.

"There are burn marks in the furnace cavity, which should be the marks left by frequent incense burning." At this time, Qian Lao chuckled and said, "Wang Guan, do you want to use this big furnace to burn incense and see what it will be like."

"Huh?"

Wang Guan was slightly stunned, thoughtful in his heart, and then said with a smile: "Okay, then be vassally elegant and enjoy the artistic conception of the ancients burning incense to clear the hearts of the gods." ”

"Baoding is hot and famous, and it is generally ten-square." Qian Lao smiled and signaled: "It's windy in the courtyard, let's move the furnace to the hall." In this way, the aroma can last for a long time and will not dissipate immediately. ”

The others were not stupid, and they sensed that Qian Lao seemed to have some deep meaning in doing this, and immediately made a concerted effort to carry the heavy furnace into the spacious hall.

After that, Qian Lao opened the big bag of spices, poured more than half of them on a large plate of incense, then lit the spices, put the large plate in the furnace, and closed the lid casually.

Soon after, a strange aroma slowly emanated from the furnace, and only a faint wisp of light smoke rose slowly through the holes on the stove lid. The scent of sandalwood has the effect of soothing nervous tension and anxiety, and the calming effect is more than invigorating, making people feel peaceful and calm.

At first, everyone paid more attention to the light smoke floating in the air, but after smelling the aroma, the spirit gradually relaxed, and the heart was full of peaceful emotions. Gradually, there is also a little intoxication. Everyone closed their eyes slightly, and entered a state of meditation that seemed to be asleep but not asleep.

After a long time, Wang Guan "woke up", sighed in his heart at the charm of the aroma, and at the same time naturally glanced at the incense burner. At first glance, he was stunned, his eyes were wide open, his thoughts were a little sudden, but more shocked and surprised"...

"Stove. , I don't have flowers in my eyes. ”

At the same time, Yu Feibai next to him jumped up with a look of disbelief. In an instant, the others also opened their eyes one after another, and looked in the direction of the incense burner, with a look of horror in their eyes.

"How can you ...... like this?"

Tang Qinghua stood up, but he was a little dazed and at a loss.

"This is...... Coincidental? ”

At this time, Pi Qiushi's tone was very uncertain, and the three views had been completely subverted.

Wang Guan blinked, but he was also a little calm in amazement, and turned around and asked, "Old Qian, did you expect such a scene, so you burned incense in the furnace." ”

Hearing this, everyone reacted one after another, and looked at Qian Lao in unison, expecting an explanation.

Thinking about it carefully, putting aside Wang Guan's "intuition", in fact, the mystery of this furnace should also be excavated and exposed by Qian Lao. Whether it was the disguise to cover the furnace or the act of burning incense just now, it all showed that Qian Lao must have mastered some information that they didn't know.

"Hehe......"

At this time, Qian Lao was very calm, and while looking at the wonderful scene above the furnace, he smiled and said: "The treasure of Buddhism, the lotus in the furnace, really lives up to its name, and it is exactly the same as in the record." ”

"Lotus in the furnace!"

Wang Guan nodded lightly, deeply convinced.

At this time, I saw wisps of light smoke in the sky above the big furnace, and I don't know what the reason was, it actually condensed and formed a huge lotus shape. The most amazing thing is that the outline of the lotus petals is very clear and staggered. And the pieces are upward, naturally slightly closed, which looks very solemn and elegant.

If it's a sturdy object, it's not a big deal if it's sculpted into a lotus flower. No matter how lifelike and beautiful it is, no one is likely to be shocked.

However, the formation of the lotus platform now is smoke, to put it bluntly, it is a special gas, floating, qualitative but intangible, belonging to things that can be seen but cannot be touched. However, it was such a gas that naturally gathered, and without even using any external force, it gradually formed a huge lotus platform.

In addition, the huge lotus platform is not stationary, but somewhat floating. Swaying slightly in the air, each lotus petal also trembles slightly, giving people a feeling of slowly blooming. This situation can be described as a miracle.

"Old Qian, how did you do it?"

Tang Qinghua looked at the furnace, looked back at Qian Lao, and subconsciously felt that he had done something.

"It's not me, it's the incense burner that has such a function." Qian Lao said with a smile.

"Stove lid!"

Suddenly, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai blurted out, and then looked at it carefully.

After looking at it for a moment, the two found that their guess was somewhat reliable. The huge lotus platform floated in the air, at least two or three meters high from the incense burner. This distance is enough for the two of them to see clearly.

Wisps of light smoke rose through the holes in the lid of the furnace. However, in the process of diffusion, due to the different sizes and specifications of each pore, the shape and speed of the flue gas are naturally affected. Some are fast, some are slow, some are spiraling in circles, some are flowing in twists and turns, and some are like staccato ellipses......

Anyway, it is between the fast and the slow, the strange state, that the smoke does not disperse, forming a slowly blooming lotus platform, causing this amazing wonderful landscape in front of you.

Of course, it is easy to say, but the wisdom and ingenuity contained in it, especially the ingenious craftsmanship, may not be able to explain clearly in a few words, nor is it the result of a person's whim. It will definitely take a long time of exploration and research, and the accumulation of generation after generation, to have such results.

Yu Feibai's temperament is relatively anxious, and if he has any ideas, he will immediately put them into practice. Now it was the same, thinking that it might be the cause of the stove lid, he didn't say a word, immediately approached the big stove, reached out and lifted the lid down.

For a while, there was a lack of a layer of covering, which could be regarded as severing some kind of mysterious connection. The sandalwood smoke in the furnace immediately gushed out like a river that burst the embankment, and suddenly squeezed the lotus platform in the air.

"Alas......"

Tang Qinghua sighed in disappointment and complained: "Feibai, you are cheap, you are good, why are you sabotage." ”

"Haha, as expected."

Yu Feibai ignored Tang Qinghua, with a smug expression: "It's because of the stove cover." ”

"Not only the furnace cover, but also the furnace chamber itself has some function to store flue gas. It should be a combination of the two and complement each other to have such a magical effect. Wang Guan guessed casually, and then asked, "Old Qian, did you already know?" ”

"Know a little."

Qian Lao didn't deny it, and smiled: "However, speaking of which, it's because of you." ”

"Me?" Wang Guan was a little surprised.

"That's right, it's you."

Qian Lao smiled: "To be exact, it is your red sandalwood gloomy wood beads, as well as the colorful glass translucent mirror."

"For a long time, everyone was skeptical of ancient treasures. For example, Luban cut bamboo and wood to think that it was a magpie, and it flew into it, and it did not fall for three days; Or Zhuge Liang's wooden oxen and flowing horses, etc."... Since there is no physical evidence, everyone naturally thinks that those things are not so powerful, and they must have been beautified. Qian Lao said slowly: "Before, I also thought so, I thought there must be such a thing, but the function should be discounted." ”

"However, since the appearance of the gloomy wooden beads of red sandalwood, I suddenly felt that I might have taken some of my thoughts for granted." Qian Lao chuckled: "So I pay more attention to this aspect of things, and I also pay attention to collecting historical materials in this regard." Coincidentally, in an incomplete Akito notebook, I saw a description of the "miracles" of Keishou Temple. ”

“…… There are strange treasures in the temple, on the day of the Buddha's birthday, lotus is born in the furnace, green incense falls from the sky, and Pudu Quartet ......"

Qian Lao reviewed the text description, and then said with a smile: "However, because of such Buddhist miracles and miracles, there are similar descriptions in almost every famous Buddhist temple and Taoist temple. So, I didn't think it was strange at the time, just take a look. But after seeing the wrong gold inscription on the furnace, which mentioned Qingshou Temple, I paid a little more attention......"

"Next, when I found that the firewood smoke appeared in the air, I felt a little bit in my heart."

Qian Lao smiled and said: "Especially when I see that there are obvious incense burn marks in the hearth, I am more than seventy percent sure." After that, you also saw it, and sure enough, it was a lotus in the furnace, and it was a strange fragrance from the sky! (To be continued)
