Chapter 209: Buddha Incense
There was a knock outside the door, Liu Ruyan got up to open the door, and saw that it was Wan Jinqiu standing outside the house, holding a food box in her arms.
She smiled lightly and said, "I'm afraid that the food in Lefang is going to be cold, if the girl is inconvenient, I will bring the food for you." β
Liu Ruyan looked at the window and realized that the sun was almost dusk.
"Let the palm bother." She apologized.
Wan Jinqiu walked into the house, put down the food box, and took out the food inside one by one, and when she looked up, she saw the portrait on the wall, obviously frightened: "Why did the girl leave this evil thing in the house?" β
"If it's out of the way, I'll take it off later." Liu Ruyan said.
Wan Jinqiu's face was worried: "Today's Miyagi is not as good as before, and the girl has to be careful in everything. β
"Got it." She responded.
After sending Wan off this autumn, Liu Ruyan sat down to eat.
After eating, she brought the dishes to the yard, fetched water to clean them, and then put them back in the food box.
As the night deepened, Liu Ruyan lit candles in the house, and the moment she raised her eyes, she vaguely glimpsed the paintings on the wall, which seemed to be moving.
She picked up the candlestick and stood in front of the portrait.
The woman in the painting is still the same, is it because she is dazzled?
She looked back a little, and clearly remembered that she had just caught a glimpse of the "palace maid" sinking to the bottom of the lake, struggling, as if trying to escape......
Just as she was in a state of flux, there was a knock on the door.
Liu Ruyan looked for prestige, and saw a few shadows outside the window screen, with the cold wind whistling, standing quietly outside the door.
Liu Ruyan walked over and opened the door.
"Why is it so dark in the house, I thought you weren't there." Gong Yu wondered.
Bai Zhi and Dong Qingxian followed closely and lit a few candles.
"Have you read all these books?" Bai Zhi sat down and asked.
Liu Ruyan nodded: "People with abnormal consciousness are roughly divided into epilepsy, madness, and epilepsy. Looking at the symptoms, they may be suffering from madness. β
Bai Zhi twisted her eyebrows: "Mania is caused by excessive yang qi and the outer appearance of the mind, and Chinese medicine will treat it by clearing heat and relieving fire." But if there is any disease, why didn't it have a seizure before? β
"Unless ......," Bai Zhi suddenly thought, "unless these people happen to encounter natural and man-made disasters, or they have been dominated by fear and coercion for a long time." The mind is not quiet, the mind is not at peace, and once it is stimulated, it will go crazy and go crazy. β
Liu Ruyan asked, "How are you doing in Tai Hospital?" β
Bai Zhi: "According to the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor to the musician, I have seen her condition improve. So Bai guessed that this girl's madness was most likely stimulated. β
"Possibly." Dong Qingxian listened for a long time.
Gong Yuyu was careless and only listened to a rough idea.
He stood aside, and noticed that there was an extra painting in the room, and at first glance it was very good, but the next moment he cried out with a pale face.
"Ghostβghostβ" He pointed to the wall.
Dong Qingxian didn't know why, approached the wall, and his eyes flew around a few times: "What do you see?" β
Gong Yuyu hid behind Liu Ruyan, poked out half of his head, and pointed to the wall: "The woman in the painting is saying to me-save me-save me-"
"Maybe you're wrong." Dong Qingxian said with a smile.
Gong Yuyu shook his head: "This painting is weird, what's the origin?" β
Liu Ruyan turned his gaze: "The evil spirit that has been circulating recently is the woman in this painting, she is sinking at the bottom of the lake, her resentment is too deep, and her grievances are not gone." β
Dong Qingxian, who was standing in front of the painting, heard the words, and his back stiffened.
Liu Ruyan then said: "Just before you entered the house, I happened to see that she seemed to be trapped in the painting and wanted to escape. β
Save me - save me -
The poignant female voice is intermittent, through the frozen lake, faintly lingering.
Dong Qingxian's scalp was numb, and he ran out of the country.
Gong Yuyu was even more panicked, grabbed her arm, and didn't dare to step forward again: "Such an evil door." β
Bai Zhi suddenly lost her mind: "Why can't I hear it?" β
Dong Qingxian listened attentively for a while: "Actually, Qingxian has never heard it. β
Bai Zhi took a few steps forward and stared at the painting on the wall.
Behind him, Gong Yuyu trembled, for fear that the evil spirit in the painting would break through the paper.
Bai Zhi "huh", and got a little closer: "Pine smoke, deer glue, jade shavings, borneol, lacquer, garcinia cambogia, rhino horn, ......"
He turned around and faced everyone: "There are pine trees in Huizhou, which are good materials for making ink, and Huimo is derived from this." This ink has a rich fragrance, the color does not fade for a long time, and it is made of twelve-flavor materials, which is a fine product in ink. But the strange thing is that the ink in the painting has added a spice, and Bai can't tell what it came from. β
Gong Yuyu exclaimed: "There are still medicine immortals who don't even know!" β
Bai Zhi was ashamed: "There is nothing strange in the world, forgive Bai for his shallow knowledge." β
Liu Ruyan approached, and after his reminder, the ink in the painting seemed to be a little different.
But...... This ink fragrance, where she vaguely smelled, was like a ......
The Buddha incense of Jinling Temple!
She also smelled it in the residence of the lord of the country, and since the statue of Guanyin was worshipped with incense, it was natural to be infected with the smell. But the picture of the lady in front of him was made by Gu Tian in the hall in the heart of the lake, how could there be Buddha incense in the emblem ink?
"What are you doing in the house with your pestles?" Shen Yanchu had just come back from outside, and as soon as he entered the house, he found that everyone was there.
"There's something weird about this painting." Liu Ruyan motioned for him to look.
Shen Yanchu watched for a moment: "What's the problem?" β
Gong Yuyu cautiously pointed to the painting: "You didn't hear any strange sounds?" β
He replied, "No." β
Liu Ruyan: "It's the ink fragrance in the painting that is a little wrong. As a literati, the lord of the country, Li Chongguang, had a special fondness for ink, and the imperial court specially set up a post of ink official. Moguan is proficient in ink making, and is very particular about the selection of materials and ingredients. But Huimo is made from 12 kinds of raw materials, so how can it add a new spice? β
Shen Yanchu carefully discerned: "Like the Buddha incense of Jinling Temple?" β
Liu Ruyan nodded: "It seems that I have to go to the temple again." β
She poured tea and handed it to him: "By the way, where did you go just now?" β
Shen Yanchu took the cup: "Send gold and don't exchange it out of the palace, he said that Jinling is his hometown." β
Bai Zhi was surprised: "Brother Jin remembered?" β
"That's right, so this morning, Jin didn't change it, so I wanted to go out of the palace and try my luck." He said lightly, "It's just that it's been too long, I hope he can get what he wants......"
In the early morning, the sun rises.
Liu Ruyan was draped in a big hat, and Shen Yanchu was beside him.
The two of them walked slowly on the path in the palace, bypassing a garden, and in front of them sat the ancient temple - Jinling Temple.
Today's reception is still the little novice from last time, he saw Liu Ruyan, his hands folded, his eyebrows drooped, and he bowed and said, "Amitabha." β
Liu Ruyan returned the salute.
In the Buddhist hall, she took incense sticks and lit them, and the fragrance wafting out was light and good, which was the best Buddha incense.
Shen Yanchu stood aside: "The Buddha incense in this temple is different from other places, the lord of the country worships the Buddha, and there may be a special place for making incense." β
In this regard, Liu Ruyan asked the little novice for advice: "Dare to ask Master, where does the Buddha incense in Jinling Temple come from?" β
"It seems that the donor also likes the incense in the temple?" Xiao Shami smiled and said, "These Buddha incense sticks are made by the incense hall, and the pilgrims occasionally bring some back. β
Liu Ruyan asked, "Can you take me to the incense hall to have a look?" β
The little novice bowed: "It's in the backyard, the two of you please come with the little monk." β
