An Lan felt that her face was a little burning, so she pursed her lips, but she didn't lower her head, and she didn't even dodge the eyes that looked at him, and in her black and white eyes, there were four words clearly written - no hesitation.

In the budding years, I met the best person, isn't it the best thing in life?

She didn't speak, and he fell silent, but the hand on her long hair slowly moved to her face.

The cold wind whistled through the snow on the eaves of the temple, and the wind lamps under the eaves shook violently, and the candles were about to be extinguished, reflecting his face in uncertain light.

After a long time, he slowly spoke: "Bai Guanghan has not yet reached seventeen, and he has already stepped into the realm of the Great Incense Master. ”

She was stunned, and then asked, "Childe...... Also? ”

He put his hand on her shoulder, raised his eyes, and looked at the dimly lit Changxiang Palace, his expression was a little blurred: "Jing Yan, he is also under seventeen, but I forgot to confirm at that time, who came first and who came after." ”

An Lan opened her mouth slightly, feeling shocked for a while, and then feeling that this was a matter of course.

Bai Guanghan retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes, looked at her and asked, "Are you almost fifteen?" ”

An Lan nodded: "After the New Year, it will be fifteen." ”

She didn't know exactly what her birthday was, only that it was in the spring, around the Shangyuan Festival.

"It's almost time to finish." The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his smile turned into the cold silence of the cold night, "I'm waiting for you......"

She was stunned again, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Catch up." He continued, and then sighed softly, "Don't make me wait too long, a year should be enough." ”

She was stunned and asked, "What?" What is enough? ”

He said lightly: "Step into the realm of the Great Incense Master." ”

"Sir!" Her head was a little dazed. looked at him apprehensively. "How do you want to step into the realm of the Great Incense Master?"

Bai Guanghan raised his hand to touch her face again, and gently rubbed her cheek with his thumb: "In your name, set up a fragrance and trap me for at least one day, and you can sit in my place." ”

An Lan was speechless, and after a long time, she spoke with some trepidation: "Sir." I-"

"I'm looking forward to it." He looked at her, his voice was low, and his dark eyes seemed to hide a thousand words, "Looking forward to you catching up." ”

An Lan opened her mouth, but lost her voice, and she couldn't say anything that doubted herself.

He added: "However, if you want to gain the approval of the Heavenly Pivot Palace, and sit in this position in the future, you still have to become an incense master first." ”

An incense master who has been approved by the Changxiang Temple. Naturally, it is necessary to pass the examination of the Guò Changxiang Temple, such an examination. Once a year, it is presided over by the great incense master of the Changxiang Hall in turn, and the time is uncertain. An Lan knew this, and she also knew that in addition to the Great Incense Master, the youngest Incense Master in the Changxiang Hall was twenty years old.

However, the husband asked her that within a year, she would not only pass the guò incense master exam, but also step into the realm of the great incense master!

Snowflakes drifted down the eaves of the temple in the wind and fell on her cheeks, making her feel that his palms were getting warmer and warmer, as if covered with a layer of fire. Just when she was stunned, he withdrew his hand and turned his head to look at the hall: "It's time to prepare to pray for blessings." ”

Every year, at the time of the alternation of the old and the new, the great incense master of the Changxiang Hall will pray in the hall until the morning light of the new year is revealed.

Therefore, every year on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, as soon as night falls, until the arrival of the red sun on the first day of the first lunar month, the great incense master will not leave his incense hall unless he is forced to do so.

He suddenly withdrew his hand, but An Lan felt that the fire on his cheek still seemed to be there.

Bai Guanghan had already turned around and walked towards the main hall, his steps were not hurried or slow, but he seemed to be very neat. An Lan came back to her senses and hurriedly followed, there were already more than ten palace attendants, attendants and incense attendants waiting outside, and after they came out, they all followed behind.

Everyone was very quiet, and after passing through one door after another, stepping on the steps of the main hall, they saw that the head of the Li Hall was already waiting there.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, during the period when the Great Incense Master prays for blessings in the Incense Hall, the chief attendant of the hall, as well as the attendants and attendants who stay in the Changxiang Hall, all need to wait in the main hall and be sent at any time.

Bai Guanghan entered the main hall, and when An Lan passed by the chief of the Li Palace, he glanced at him, but saw that the expression on his face was still the same, and it was impossible to guess how much he knew about today's events and how much he knew about the past.

Bai Guanghan didn't let An Lan follow him into the inner hall of the main hall, An Lan hesitated for a while, and then knelt on the futon in the outer hall.

The head of the Li Palace did not enter the hall, still standing outside the hall, but did not leave, as if waiting for something.

Chi Shao led several incense attendants to wait in the outer hall, checking the tea every once in a while, and as long as it was cold, he immediately replaced it with a hot one. In addition, there are incense sticks in the incense burner and charcoal pots in various corners, all of which are taken care of.

Time passes little by little, and the time is approaching, which is almost the quietest and most serious time in the Changxiang Palace. Everyone knows that at this time of year, the seven great incense masters are doing the same thing.

Just when An Lan felt that her legs were a little numb, the bell rang over, and then, the sound of bursts of fireworks blooming came from the distant night sky, which was the people celebrating the arrival of the New Year. The incense burners all over the Changxiang Hall are emitting white smoke, with all kinds of wishes and desires, rolling up to the sky, attracting the gods and Buddhas.

An Lan stood up, and Lan Indigo stepped forward to support her, and then poured her a cup of hot tea. An Lan took the cup of tea, took a sip, then stopped and glanced into the hall. Lan Indigo understood, turned around, poured another cup of tea and sent it to An Lan: "This is what Mr. often drinks on weekdays." ”

An Lan nodded, and walked to the hall with the cup of tea, but just after taking two steps, Chi Shao said, "When Mr. prays, no one is allowed to disturb him." ”

An Lan paused and glanced back at Chi Shao: "In previous years, Mr. didn't drink a sip of water?" ”

Chi Shao nodded: "Yes." ”

An Lan looked into the hall again, hesitated for a while, and walked inside with the cup of tea.

Chi Shao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "An Shixiang ......"

Lan Indigo stopped in front of Chi Shao, but she didn't say anything, just looked at her with a smile on her face. Chi Shao frowned slightly, looked at Lan Indigo, and then looked at An Lan, who had been walking towards the hall, and after a while, she retreated into the distance. In previous years, Mr. Guang Han did not allow anyone to go in and disturb him, An Lan only entered the Tianshu Hall for nearly half a year, maybe she didn't know, but she had already reminded An Lan, so what would happen next was not her responsibility.

An Lan knew that Chi Shao was not lying, because Mr. didn't let her go in just now, but for some reason, she was always a little worried in her heart, and she had to go in and take a look.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that tonight, she was not the only one who wanted to come in to see Bai Guanghan.

――――――――――――

To correct it, it was written before that Bai Chun left with two children on the day of Qixi Festival, which should actually be the Shangyuan Festival.

PS: That, the exam of the incense master of the Changxiang Palace, should have a nice name, but I thought about it for a long time and my head was blank, sweat! For example, the previous exam in which Bai Guanghan selected an heir was named "Jinxiang Society". So, if you have any good ideas, you can contribute them! (To be continued......)
