Chapter 31. Smell the fragrance

He didn't say a word again. Back at Ling's Mansion, it was almost noon. He ordered me to be sent to the Lingering Garden.

The last time I entered the Ling Mansion, my heart was shocked and I didn't pay attention to it. And this time, from the entrance gate, I carefully observed all the way to the inconspicuous courtyard of the Lingering Garden. For some reason, along the way, the entire Ling Mansion seemed quite familiar to me. At first, I thought that this might be because I had visited the historical sites with a similar architectural style to this Lingfu in my previous life, but the more I looked inside, the more I felt that the whole mansion had an indescribable affinity with me. It's a bit overwhelming, but it's a good thing to think about it, at least it's not hard to get used to it.

The servants of the Ling Mansion sent me to the Lingering Garden, and then respectfully withdrew.

I walked into the bedroom and made sure there was no one else, before I walked over to the dressing table and began to rub my fingers gently between my ears and temples to remove the human skin mask. I have been around this mask for more than half a month, and it is really uncomfortable to have a skin on my face all the time. Fortunately, this skin is breathable and breathable, but it does not hinder me from cleaning my face, otherwise if I don't wash my face for half a month, I'm afraid I would have gone crazy a long time ago.

However, after rubbing between the temples for a long time, the mask did not loosen in the slightest. I couldn't help but sigh. Does this mask require a special technique to obtain?

When there was nothing to be done, I suddenly felt that my wrist was being held. I looked back in disbelief, and before I could see who it was, I saw something thrown in my face. I was startled, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to block it, but I was a step too slow, only to feel a cool liquid spilled on my face, and the heavy acid gas penetrated into my nose, and I sneezed unexpectedly.

After the sneezing, I also saw the person who was coming.

"How did you get in?" Because last time Ling Niankong killed all the servants who had seen my true face, this time I tried to remove the mask by closing the doors and windows to make sure that no one would break in.

"This is my house, and there is no place I can't enter." He said coldly.

"Then what did you just throw at me!?" As soon as the words fell, I felt that the skin that had been tightly attached to my cheeks for half a month seemed to be loose. It suddenly became clear in my heart: it turned out that the sour liquid was used to remove the mask.

The skin on my face was covered for a long time, and when it finally came to see the light of day, I couldn't wait and hurriedly reached out to uncover it. I didn't want to get my hand knocked away.

I rubbed my hands and glared at him. He didn't care, he held a pointed soft brush out of nowhere in his right hand, and the tip of his left index finger gently picked at the side of my face, as if picking up a small piece of skin that had been separated from my cheek, and probed the brush head to the place where the mask met my cheek, and gently swept it.

He had just swept twice, and I dodged in a hurry. He grabbed me and pulled me back in front of him. "Don't move!"

After speaking, he continued to move. However, after a moment, I involuntarily retreated again.

He stopped his hand and said coldly: "Every human skin mask is unique to the world, if you don't want to make people suspicious with a completely different face tomorrow, don't move." ”

I knew in my heart: he didn't allow me to take it off directly, because he was afraid that I would destroy the mask, but ......

As he thought about it, he poked his brush head in again, and I ducked uncontrollably. His brow furrowed at me like this.

"Itchy."

It's really itchy.

He was stunned, as if he didn't expect me to react like this. Then his eyes gradually deepened, as if he had thought of something, and the expression on his face softened. I don't know if I'm mistaken, but the corners of his mouth still have a vague smile.

"Hey, Ling Niankong." Seeing that he was distracted, I raised my hand and shook it in front of his eyes. "What do you want?"

When he heard this, his soft expression withered like a withered flower, and his face returned to his usual coldness.

He pulled me in front of him again, raised his hand and slammed me twice on the back. I suddenly felt that my qi and blood were stagnant, and I couldn't move. He actually sealed my acupoint!

"You!" I was furious.

"Shut up. If you say it again, you will even point at the dumb point. His words were cold.

"You order! What else can you do but bully me, a weak woman?! ”

But he just glanced at me, clinging to the brush, and continued with the unfinished business.

was clicked on by him, and he couldn't hide anymore, but the itch was still there.

Although I am a woman, there are not many things that I am really afraid of, but I am very afraid of itching. His seemingly simple swipe, but it was as difficult as torture for me, and I finally couldn't help but speak: "You untie my acupoint, and I will remove the mask myself." ”

But as if he hadn't heard, his men didn't stop. This guy seems to have discovered that I am afraid of itching, and sincerely tortures me! But I was pointed, so I could only let him bully, and there was nothing I could do but stare at him.

He ignored my glare, and still carefully swept the place where the mask fit the skin of my face, very seriously. Because he was too careful, his face was tightened, and his facial expression was not as stiff as Fang Cai's. He blinked from time to time, and his long eyelashes fluttered like wings.

After a long time, the mask was finally completely removed. He unraveled my acupoints, placed the mask on the table, held my face with both hands, rubbed his fingertips lightly, and his eyes were as calm as water. But my heart sank: he was thinking of the original owner.

I was a little embarrassed and tilted my head, but he wouldn't allow it, and turned my face back to look at it as if it were a work of art.

I couldn't break free, so I had to let him go.

After a while, he finally let go, stood up, took out three vials from his bosom and put them on the table, and then took out a very neatly folded letterhead. "This is the method of disguise and the things you need, you study it yourself, and you must not show your true face in front of others."

I glanced at him, but didn't answer. He didn't really care, flicked his sleeve and left.

The courtyard of the Lingering Garden is remote, but it is also clean. Since Ling Niankong insisted on keeping me, then I would settle down here for the time being, at least I wouldn't have to worry about food and lodging. As for wanting to find a more powerful backer before, the implementation of this idea will not happen overnight, and you have to act at the opportunity.

The day passed in such a trance. The hour had passed, but I didn't know why, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. simply put on a cotton robe and walked out of the house, walking around.

The Ling Mansion on a winter night is silent, lifeless, only cold. Suddenly, I remembered the man's cold face, and thought that this atmosphere was worthy of him.

Out of the Lingering Garden, strolling forward, not paying much attention to the direction. After going around and around for about half an hour, my body was a little tired. It's time to fall asleep while you're tired.

Thinking of this, I turned around and walked back, only to find that I had lost my way. After some investigation, he still couldn't find the way, but he was too tired to go any further. Xu was in the middle of the Ling Mansion where I went, and there was not even a courtyard to patrol the night.

This Ling Mansion has made such a big deal that I have lost my way! It just so happened that at this time, snowflakes were falling again. Forget it, find a place to rest for a while and find your way back!

I looked around and found that there was a wooden door not far away, which was inconspicuous, and it should be the side door of a certain courtyard. I gently opened the door and looked inside, which looked like an inner courtyard, quite spacious. The pavilions and pavilions are readily available, and they are very elegant. There is also a small bridge in the pond, but the pond is frozen. Seeing such a courtyard, I couldn't help but secretly admire, the owner of this courtyard must be an elegant person. Although he knew that trespassing was inappropriate, he still stepped into the hospital.

After looking around for a while, he finally decided to go to the pavilion and sit down. When I got closer, I found that there was a plaque hanging on the pavilion, with the book "Wenxiang Pavilion" written on it, and the handwriting was beautiful, which seemed to be written by a woman.

"Smell the Fragrance Pavilion" ...... I meditated in my heart, and for some reason, I always felt that the word "smell" did not mean "smell", but "listen". Then "smelling the fragrance" means listening to the fragrance, but I don't know what the person who named it means.

"Smell the Fragrance" ...... So where does the incense come from? I looked around and found that the courtyard was full of begonia trees, so I was more and more sure that this "smell" meant to hear, just because the begonias had no fragrance. If that's the case, the person who named it is quite interesting to me. It is not known whether the owner of this temple is the same person as the person who named the pavilion. In short, this place is quite popular with me, and I will definitely come back more often in the future.

Walking into the pavilion and sitting down on the stone bench, I felt infinitely relieved, and I couldn't help but hook the corners of my mouth slightly.

The next moment, a wave of dizziness hit, and I felt that the world was spinning, and I hurriedly closed my eyes.

When I opened my eyes, I felt that it was hazy in front of me, and I vaguely saw a delicate silhouette, holding a page in her hand, and whispering softly: "'The east wind cloth rains spring light, and thousands of colors compete for fragrance. Humane Shu guests are more cool and thin, but fortunately the warm breeze hides the fragrance. As everyone knows, if you ask about the silk of Shu brocade, you just need to listen to the fragrance of flowers. ’”

Hearing this, my heart seemed to be touched by something, like the silent lake suddenly rippling layer by layer, and it could not be calmed down for a long time.

The words "Shu Ke" and "Shu Jin" are both other names for begonias. In a few words, it explains that in the eyes of the world, the begonia Tibetan fragrance does not know the coolness of the spring breeze. The person who wrote the lyrics should be a person who loves begonias very much, or at least a master with a hundred turns of soft intestines, otherwise how could he make such words and phrases that should be the meaning of this incense pavilion? I think that most people who see the name of this pavilion will think that "smell" is the meaning of "smell", and it is rare for someone to understand its true meaning, and this person can still make such wonderful words and sentences, which is even more difficult to find.

After tasting it carefully, I felt that this word had another deep meaning. "Silky Love" ...... It seems to be done to express one's heart to one's beloved. The lyricist compares himself to Begonia: how cool and thin everyone is, Yu Qing is full of affection. And "if you ask about the silk meaning of Shu brocade, you just need to listen to the fragrance of flowers." It seems to be exhorting, begging, hoping that the person who thinks about it will know his infatuation. This last sentence, with hesitation and uncertainty, wants to explain the "love thread", but it can be restrained, it seems to be fearful, and there is unspeakable suffering......

Cool and hot, thin and affectionate, want to speak, want to dew and cover, what an affectionate lyric! No matter who this word is addressed to, the person who receives it will inevitably have a fluttering heart, right?

I rubbed my eyes to see what the girl in front of me looked like, but I couldn't see her when she stood sideways. But I could feel that she was shaken, even more so than me.

I only heard her whisper again: "......'If you ask Shu Jin's affection, you just need to listen to Tang Yu tell the fragrance of flowers." ’…… Good word...... Good word ......"

The girl suddenly looked up in the direction of the front yard. I looked up and followed. I saw a long and tall figure in the distance moving forward, and disappeared in an instant.

For some reason, my heart suddenly throbbed and jumped.

Suddenly, I felt a silver light enveloping me with a cold killing machine. I opened my eyes suddenly, and it turned out to be the illusion I had seen in a trance!

In a flash, the sharp blade slashed at me with a strong wind, pointing straight at my throat. I was shocked, and in a panic, I leaned back, and I could avoid it!
