From Jiu Shu's world

Chapter 337
The way of incense has always been very particular in China. Ancient poets, writers, and wealthy nobles often had the habit of incense, and this kind of incense making is also very particular. From the selection of materials, processing to the final method of burning incense, many processes are extremely complicated.

However, although this is troublesome, it is much simpler than the sacrificial incense that Henry Zhang wants to make for Su Yue.

No matter how cumbersome incense is, it is just incense for mortals, but incense for worship is for ghosts and gods to enjoy, so it is not easy.

Henry Zhang took the rhinoceros incense brought by Su Yue from Ren Tingting, and walked into the basement. This kind of sacrificial incense is not easy to handle in the store.

Entering the basement, Henry Zhang saw Xiaolong sitting cross-legged and practicing in the basement. As soon as Henry Zhang came in, he felt Henry Zhang's footsteps, opened his eyes, and said, "Brother Xuan!"

Henry Zhang nodded and asked, “Are you still used to this?”

Kong Xiaolong has the body of a ghost, so this basement is the only suitable place for him to practice.

However, although Henry Zhang’s here is a basement, there are all kinds of decorations such as sofas and tea seats. There is also a compartment as a practice room, which is also the place where Henry Zhang usually draws symbols and makes magical instruments. The whole environment is not bad except for the natural light.

Kong Xiaolong nodded and said with a smile, "I'm used to it. It's much better than when I was an undercover agent."

To be an undercover agent is to worry about it every day. Although they are doing business of getting rich overnight, drug lords and drug dealers usually live in small and crappy houses in order to keep secret, which cannot be compared with Henry Zhang’s well-decorated basement.

Besides, Kong Xiaolong is now in the body of a ghost, and the environment like the basement can gather Yin Qi, but it is suitable for cultivation.

Henry Zhangdao: "It's good to get used to it. After a while, I will ask someone to find you a house. That place is full of Yin Qi than here, and you can practice a lot faster."

Kong Xiaolong's face changed slightly when he heard such words, thinking that Henry Zhang was going to spend again, he hurriedly refused: "No, Brother Xuan, it's nothing for me to stay underground."

Henry Zhang laughed after hearing this, and said, "It's not for you to enjoy the blessings, but to go there for public office and suppress things."

When Henry Zhang said this, Kong Xiaolong remained silent.

"Okay, you can practice slowly, I still have something to do."

Henry Zhang said something to Kong Xiaolong, and then walked out of the room where he drew the talisman.

The layout of the room is very simple, not as big as the outside, more than ten square meters square, a large black table, and all kinds of yellow paper, cinnabar, brushes and other tools.

Henry Zhang put the rhinoceros incense brought by Su Yue on the table, opened the lid, revealing the light gray powder inside, Henry Zhang tapped a little with his fingertips, put it on the tip of his nose, sniffed it lightly, and then showed a smile.

"Sure enough, the rhinoceros fragrance of this ancient material is made by experts, which saves a lot of trouble."

Although rhinoceros incense has the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods, it is more often a kind of incense.Raw rhinoceros is not flammable, it has a strange fragrance when it burns, and people can communicate with ghosts. This is the characteristic of rhinoceros horns, but this rhinoceros fragrance is more than that.

The female ghost Qingqing was contaminated with this rhinoceros fragrance and still came out in the daytime, Xia Dongqing's pair of eyes couldn't see her identity for a while, and the ghost body was solid, which is not something ordinary rhinoceros fragrance can do.

This guy Su Yue has had great luck. This old rhinoceros incense is probably not the incense used by ordinary people, but the incense used by those Buddhist temples, ancestral halls, or places where witches and others practice. It is the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods.

But it was cheaper for Henry Zhang, which saved him a lot of effort.

Henry Zhang put the rhinoceros powder in a small copper basin on the side, and then he himself took out two kinds of wood scraps, one black and one yellow. The black one is the leftovers of Shenyin wood, and the yellow one is agarwood.

He used the wooden knife used to cut medicine before and skillfully ground the two kinds of wood into powder, adjusted the ratio, and then mixed it with the rhinoceros, the rhinoceros as the main ingredient, and the two kinds of wood as supplements, and then began to mix thoroughly.

The process of making incense requires peace of mind and slow progress, but for Henry Zhang, the key point is not the process of making incense sticks.

In less than half an hour, Henry Zhang turned this spice into dozens of incense sticks, which were neatly placed on the table.

At this time, Henry Zhang looked serious. He took out the cinnabar pen, adjusted the cinnabar liquid, tapped the tip of the pen, and then started to draw symbols on these incense sticks that were only one-tenth the size of a finger.

While drawing, Henry Zhang was chanting the mantra of the mantra of rebirth and the talisman of concentrating the gods. Before the tip of the pen fell on the incense stick, he had already written mosquito-sized characters in the air, exuding a touch of golden red, and then printed them on every On the root incense.

To be honest, Su Yue's 30 yuan is really not a waste of money. If it weren't for Zhang Xuan's cultivation and ability to draw amulets in the air, otherwise it would not be so easy.

At least dozens of incense sticks have to be written stroke by stroke, which is a tiresome job.

For an hour, Henry Zhang printed all the charms on the incense sticks, and saw that the light yellow body of each incense stick was printed with golden-red runes, which was not only beautiful, but also full of mystery.

Now these sacrificial incense, for ghosts and gods, not only tastes great, but also has the effect of concentrating and overcoming grievances, which is just right for Li Gui Qingqing. If Su Yue is really sincere, they may still have a song about ghosts and ghosts.

Henry Zhang put away the dozens of sacrificial incense and walked out of the practice room.

When Kong Xiaolong was exposed, he suddenly thought of something, took out one of them, lit the sacrificial incense with his fingertips, and then stuck it in front of him, saying: "Cultivate hard, I'll go first."

Kong Xiaolong opened his eyes and saw Henry Zhang’s movements, and when he was about to speak, he was blocked by Henry Zhang’s words, so he nodded and immersed himself in cultivation again, not to spoil Henry Zhang’s kindness.

Henry Zhang came out of the basement, and it was already afternoon. There were many more guests on the first floor than usual, and half of the guests who ordered cocktails were young women in twos and threes who came together and sat in an intimate chat.

Henry Zhang walked to the bar, handed the sacrificial incense to Ren Tingting, and said: "Tingting, this is for Su Yue, if he comes, give this to him, and tell her to light a pillar every night at twelve o'clock. "

Ren Tingting nodded, put away her things, and said, "Got it."

Fengshayan looked at the time on the side, and after three o'clock in the afternoon, she looked sideways at Henry Zhang and asked, "Is it over now?" '

Henry Zhang shook his head and said, "I'll go there after dinner later, you first ask someone to transport the Wuyin wood over there."

Feng Shayan nodded without saying anything, picked up the phone and called the people below to go to work.

After she finished giving orders, just as she walked over, she heard Ren Tingting ask her: "Sha Yan, what do you want to eat?"

Feng Shayan was stunned for a moment before realizing that Ren Tingting was talking about dinner, and she said, "Would you like some takeaway?"

Ren Tingting smiled and said, "I'll do it myself, let Brother Xuan go shopping."

Feng Shayan was a little surprised. I didn’t expect Henry Zhang and the others to cook by themselves. I didn’t expect it, and I found it novel. After all, Henry Zhang is not a person who is short of money. Generally speaking, it is normal to go to restaurants.

She casually said a fried vegetable and steamed fish, and then Ren Tingting started to send Henry Zhang to buy vegetables.

Henry Zhang came back at five o’clock soon after selling vegetables, and then hung a resting sign at the door here, cleared the guests, and then went to the house Henry Zhang bought nearby to start cooking.

The Bistro Bookstore was opened because of interest, so the three of Henry Zhang were also very casual, resting at meal times, and continuing to open the door at night.

After dinner, Henry Zhang said to Fengshayan: "Let's go, there are quite a lot of things to be arranged tonight."
