Ah Yuan and Sect Master Yan also seemed to be chatting, their voices were low, and their attitudes were lazy.
"The sect is going to move, is it Tianzong or Han Jin?" Ah Yuan also whispered, and the voice floated out from the curtain of the carriage, which happened to fall on Sect Master Yan's ears, and others couldn't hear half of it.
"What does Ah Yuan mean?" Sect Master Yan's voice also came back unhurriedly.
He no longer calls her a girl, but directly calls her Ah Yuan, which has a little more taste of his own people.
"Don't hide it from the sect master, Ayuan's trip to Yue Guo is very smooth, when the army arrives, it's not too late to move Han Jin, what is the sect's idea?"
"Hahaha! The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves! You have gone deeper and farther than I thought, on the side of the Heavenly Sect, can't you startle the snake? ”
Ah Yuan nodded: "Yes!" ”
It's good to talk to smart people, and you don't have to talk too much: "Don't let a mouthy person get the news out." ”
A grim smile flashed on Sect Master Yan's face, he hadn't done this kind of thing for many years, and his hands were a little itchy: "Of course, not one is left." ”
"No, Sect Master." Ah Yuan said: "I mean, stay alive." ”
"Oh?" The carriage slowed slightly, presumably because of the straining of his hands on the driver, and he pulled the reins.
Ah Yuan sat still at all: "Then the "Heavenly Fragrance Spectrum", has the sect master not read it carefully?" ”
Sect Master Yan was slightly stunned, and then reacted: "I have seen it, but the incense making has to occupy time and occupy the wind, and I can't make it after seeing it." Is there a good way to do this? ”
Ah Yuan's voice came, with a hint of Jin Shi's cold voice that he didn't usually have: "At the latest tomorrow afternoon, I will definitely give an answer to the sect master." ”
When Ah Yuan returned to the inn, he didn't see Xiang Ling'er and Li Yuzhun.
The innkeeper came to report: "The second son went out with Miss Xiang." ”
Before he finished speaking, two people came in at the door, not them or who?
Xiang Ling'er held her round belly and burped and said, "Sister Ayuan, you're back!" You don't know, there are so many delicious things in this Baling, I think I can eat it for three days! ”
Ah Yuan looked at her with a coquettish face, and couldn't help smiling slightly, thinking that when he came out of the mountain, he also looked forward to eating some different delicacies outside the mountain day and night.
Li Yuzhun followed behind her, with a doting face: "Let you keep it and eat slowly, you have to eat four or five restaurants in one night, beware of stomach pain!" ”
Ah Yuan patted Xiangling'er on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, I'll find something for you to do at night to eat." ”
"Do what?" Xiangling'er's eyes widened, and she looked at Ah Yuan curiously and expectantly.
Ah Yuan can always surprise her.
"Incense making." Ah Yuan took out a booklet from the placket of his clothes, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes.
"Ah, this!" Xiang Ling'er was so happy that her eyes were bent into crescent moons, and she rubbed her hands and said, "I like it!" But this auspicious time and auspicious direction, Ling'er doesn't understand! ”
Ah Yuan pursed his lips and smiled: "Of course, I will be your assistant." ”
She said to Li Yuzhun again: "I still have to trouble the second son, go to your spice shop and pharmacy and prepare some materials!" ”
"One tael of sandalwood, half a penny of borneol (another research, incense into a spin), half a penny each of angelica and cypress (legal system), one penny of orange leaves, one penny of osmanthus that has been kilned, two taels of calamus, two coins of sticky powder, one penny each of charcoal skin powder and simple nitrate, and mix well with raw honey." Xiang Ling'er held the incense book and recited.
"There are no osmanthus flowers, so I have to replace them with osmanthus powder." Ah Yuan said while looking at the various raw materials purchased by Li Yuzhun.
"When Jin Muji is in power, the position of raw water, borrow the white wind, and invite the Tiangang array." Xiang Ling'er shook her head, frowned and said to Ah Yuan, "Is this making incense or magic?" ”
Ah Yuan pointed to the frontispiece: "I said it, this is not incense, this is a vessel." ”
Instrument, available also.
With incense as a vessel, formless and colorless, soft as smoke, invaded bones, used in the yang, it is a sharp weapon, and when used in the yin, it is a killing weapon.
The two of them worked all night until it was about to dawn, and then they reluctantly took the incense out of the steamer and deposited it in the soil.
"It's just ordinary raw materials, is it really that powerful?" Xiangling'er was still reluctant to leave, guarding the plate of soil, waiting for it to be used.
"I don't know, let's try." Although Ah Yuan has never done it, he is still very convinced of the books left by the Yin and Yang family.
If this thing is known in the rivers and lakes, I don't know how many bloody storms it has set off.
She thought about the detailed explanation of this incense: soothing eyebrow incense, strong sleep, tranquil and quiet, and all worries are removed. When the incense is in three breaths, it sleeps.
How good the effect is, you will have to try it tomorrow night to find out.
Ah Yuan didn't have time to rest, so he finally waited until almost noon, took out a plate first, and asked Li Yuzhun to bring two servants to do the experiment.
The two servants were led into the chamber, and Ah Yuan held his breath and placed the lit incense burner inside.
The green smoke turned white, rising from the small hole on the top of the stove, diffusing into the air, and lost its track in an instant.
In a few breaths, first the servant at the table, with his head down, crawled on the table and fell asleep, and then a little farther away, the servant sitting in front of the window, tilted his head, leaned back against the wall, and fell asleep with his mouth open.
The three people outside the window were dumbfounded.
Ah Yuan held his breath again, went into the house to extinguish the incense, and then opened the window to disperse the fragrance.
Li Yuzhun and Xiang Ling'er came into the house with their mouths and noses covered, Li Yuzhun pushed the two servants, but they didn't react at all, and they slept soundly.
"Do you smell something different?" Ah Yuan asked.
Xiang Ling'er hurriedly said: "It smells good, osmanthus fragrant, if I can't sleep in the future, light a trace, it is better than a little sleep." ”
Li Yuzhun didn't dare to smell more, still covering his mouth and nose and said: "There is only a trace of a very faint fragrance of osmanthus, and I can't even smell the heavy smell of sandalwood." ”
Ah Yuan pondered for a while, and said: "It should have a sandalwood fragrance, maybe our cellar time is too short, and if we add a little sandalwood fragrance, it will undoubtedly be the same as the spices used in Tianzong's daily life." ”
The people of Tianzong live a luxurious life, and there are many women, who like to pay attention to clothing, food, housing and transportation, especially like incense, and their clothes and dresses are inseparable from incense. Feng Gu is especially good at this, and has her own special spices, no matter where she is, she never treats herself harshly.
Even if she was in the Taoist temple of Heming Mountain that day, she still bathed in a fresh fragrance in the house every day, which was mainly sandalwood, mixed with a faint cinnamon fragrance.
Li Yuzhun said: "In this case, why not order a small plate of sandalwood in addition to this incense." ”
Ah Yuan's eyes lit up: "Yes, in this way, there is naturally the smell of these two kinds of incense in the air, and people who are familiar with Feng Gu will smell it and feel no different." ”
After lunch, Sect Master Yan came to the door by appointment.
As soon as I saw Ah Yuan smile with a hint of satisfaction on his face, he knew that things were going well.
"How?" He asked anyway.
Li Yuzhun and Xiang Ling'er met him, and Ah Yuan said: "The sect master can arrange for people to go down, and tomorrow night, you can take care of people." ”
"It's effortless." Xiang Ling'er interjected with a wink.
