And addictive, but so hard to give up.

Nue wanted to say something, but just opened his mouth.His throat was so dry that he couldn't utter a word at all.

It wasn't supposed to be like this.But the boy's every move has become more and more pleasing to the heartstrings, and a casual glance can make anyone do anything for him.

"Whoever gets to be treated like a friend, gets the world."

Perhaps, when I first created the rumors, I was too careful.Nue was worried, and felt that his heart seemed to be gone from him.Shaking his head slightly, trying to get rid of the absurd thoughts, the fog around him became thicker.

"Brother, what interesting things are you thinking about?" A lazy and hoarse voice sounded from behind, and a slightly cool arm wrapped around Nue's waist.The boy rested his forehead on Nue's broad and reliable shoulder, and asked sullenly.

Nue just shook his head lightly.

Xiu Yi's eyes dimmed, but he couldn't hear the slightest bit in his voice: "Brother's plan is about to succeed." At that time, there is no need to kill any more.Looking at the stone monuments all over the courtyard, he felt a slight sense of guilt in his heart, but it only passed away in a flash.

Over the past few lives, he has long learned to make the best choice for himself.

Human beings who pray for life are all so ugly.He let go without hesitation, his slightly long black hair drew beautiful arcs in the air, the ink-colored kimono was loosely hung on his shoulders, and his white neck was exposed to the air.

Since you love the secular world so much and cherish life, then dedicate your most precious things to me.What hovered in his heart was a crazy smile, and what escaped from his mouth was nothing but a sigh.The monsters who abandoned their humanity even sold their souls to the devil.

There is a saying that fragrance is not something to smell, but something to smell.Watching, smelling, eating and drinking are all ways of enjoying oneself, but "smelling fragrance" is extremely elegant.

The way of incense is divided into various schools. The world thinks that Di Xiaoluliu has long been lost, but Liuli Ji of this school sticks to this school alone, holds the famous incense at Dongdaiji Temple, and smells the incense to attract a husband, continuing the way of incense.

After hearing the news, four young heroes came to compete for this position.The first to come is the one that must be won, and the Shizun Temple is the only one.

Shadows hung over the mansion, and the branches of dead wood stretched like the arms of a dying man.The exquisite jade box was placed on the low table, covered by mist, even Liuli Ji was not allowed to get close.Make or break it.

In the distance, a tall and thin man swayed towards him, without even realizing that he had stepped into a deadly trap.

The life-continuing game called "Non-stop Reincarnation", which escapes the shackles of time, is about to start.

Smell and kill

"It's just a countryman who doesn't know anything about Xiang Dao, yet dares to marry Liuli Ji."

"It stinks, it stinks, how can you compete with me in the incense path?"

Shizunji Yushi, who was dressed in a light green luxurious robe, spoke arrogantly, squinting at the samurai in front of him.

Unable to bear such ridicule, the samurai raised his sword and dropped it.Xiang Dao, a countryman who was looked down upon by everyone, ended his life like this.Shizunsi Weishi's sarcasm came to an end.

Warm blood, sprinkled in the room.Yanhong outlines a large sacrificial pattern on the plain white paper door.Screaming, swallowed by darkness.

Muromachi Kouki looked indifferently at the bloody room, wiped the blade with the corner of the deceased's robe, and put the knife back into its sheath.How dare you despise yourself, then, just die and apologize.

Looking back, if you feel something.Someone was watching from the gap in the paper door, and said angrily, "Who? Come out!" No matter who it is, if they see all this, they will die here too!He clenched the handle of the knife tightly, sweat breaking out on his forehead.

The paper door slid open soundlessly, and standing in the shadows was just a young boy, unarmed and unable to resist.

"My lord, please go to the table first." The young attendant lowered his head slightly, his voice was respectful, and his every move was in accordance with etiquette.But the slanting red at the corners of his eyes was a bit touching and strange—even when he saw a room full of blood, he never showed any panic.

Muromachi Kouki strode forward, slammed the boy to the ground, bent down and grabbed his collar, as if evaluating the threat the boy could pose.

He should have drawn the samurai sword and stabbed the squire in the heart.But in fact, he just put his hand on the hilt of the knife, ready to go.The other hand grabbed the boy's neck and slowly tightened it.

The boy's face turned pale, his hands rested on Muromachi Kokei's forearms in vain, and his eyes stared blankly ahead.But still no fear.

The smell of agarwood in the air became lingering and soft, calming down the violent mood of the samurai, just as suddenly as when it came, the anger faded away.

By coincidence, Muromachi Kouki let go of his hand, watching the boy cough.On the pale and fragile neck, the blue and purple pinch marks and handprints are clearly visible.The boy propped himself on the ground with one hand, as if he was about to stand up, but his whole body was limp and weak, and he couldn't help but fell to the ground.Muromachi Koukei seemed to be controlled by something again, and stretched out his hand to pull him up.

You can feel the other person's beating pulse in your hands, weak and slow, as if it could stop at any time.But there was no thought of wanting to kill him.

"My lord, please follow me." The attendant straightened his collar, carefully covered the scar on his neck, then turned around and walked towards the outer hall with small steps, not caring at all about leaving his back to the murderer who never blinked.

Letting go of the hand holding the knife handle, there seems to be a voice whispering in the ear, and the fragrance erodes his clarity: don't hurt him, protect him, do what he wants you to do at all costs.

"You, what's your name?" The samurai followed the attendant step by step, but suddenly asked, he wanted to know the name of the boy who almost died at his hands.

The attendant seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I am Xiuyi." There is no honorific, or even a modest address, but hearing it, it can bring supreme joy.Knowing his name, the samurai smiled, completely forgetting the anger just now.

hall.

The other two candidates were already sitting in front of the short table.The attendant knelt beside Liuli Ji and said softly, "The guests are all here." There was no mention of Shizun Temple Weishi who died tragically.

Liu Liji covered her face with her sleeves, and didn't care about the absent candidate, she smiled lightly and said, "Let's use Genji incense for tonight's incense set."

"The so-called Genji incense is to smell the five kinds of incense in order, and then guess which two are the same. Combining the five kinds of incense according to the diagram, there are 52 combinations in total." The gentle voice of the attendant sounded in the room , causing the three of them to look up.

The plain face without any makeup, faintly pale and sickly, with a slender and thin body, only the corner of the left eye, with an upward-looking line outlined with an unknown red dye.Ordinary, it can only be regarded as a handsome face, but for some reason, it is more captivating than Liuli Ji.

As long as I can reflect my own image in those black eyes, I should be satisfied.Before they knew it, the incense hadn't been ignited yet, and the smell of agarwood became sweet and greasy, encircling everyone like silk threads, waiting to be strangled.

"The Tale of Genji has 54 volumes in total. Excluding the first Tonghu and the last Mengfuqiao, the 52 volumes are used in the set of incense." The attendant said this, smiled slightly, and bowed slightly to Liu Liji, signaling that the explanation was over.

"However, the five types of five-round warfare will not end until tomorrow morning." Daze Lufang frowned worriedly. As a public servant and born in a famous family, he knew a lot about Zuxiang. Therefore, as soon as he was freed from the strange state of intoxication, he immediately raised questions.

"There is only one round tonight. The winner is the 'jade'. If there is a tie, it will be considered no 'jade'."

The incense charcoal is buried under layers of incense ash, and Liu Liji holds the incense tweezers and places a small piece of incense material on the mica sheet.She didn't have the psychedelic feeling when she enjoyed Lannai's stay, and her eyes even looked a little impatient.

The attendant held the incense burner with both hands and placed it in front of everyone: "Everyone, please start."

The tip of the nose seems to have a faint scent, unlike any scent I have ever seen.Even the well-informed sea merchant Banjing Dancheng dare not say that he has ever enjoyed such fragrant materials.

But when the attendant got up to leave, the alluring fragrance seemed to have disappeared, and he couldn't find it anywhere.Hastily picked up the incense burner, but it was just ordinary incense.Indeed, compared with the incense that almost made people lose their minds just now, even Di Xiaoluliu's incense is vulgar.

Banjing Dancheng looked around in a daze, but what caught his eye was the scene of the other two carefully distinguishing fragrances.Is that an illusion?He was full of doubts and couldn't put them behind him, and he couldn't calm down. He was no match for Daze Lufang at all.

As for the samurai, he was full of the mysterious feeling just now.The faint and alluring scent of agarwood on the servant's body is very natural, unlike those arty nobles who dye their clothes with fragrance.He couldn't help but think of the bruising on the pale skin, abrupt but beautiful.

He has never been interested in incense, but he is obsessed with that changing smell—the rumored Todai Temple is nothing more than that, right?Looking at it now, the fragrance of Liuli Ji, who was originally unparalleled in beauty, is simply pollution.

I am afraid that the only ones who really put their heart into smelling these five incenses are the Daze Lufang of the public house.

In the Tale of Genji, there is also a story about a girl and four suitors, ten posts of jade garlands.

Liuliji is the jade garland.Thinking of this, Daze Lufang showed a slightly smug smile.

It's not that the sea merchants with fake noses don't understand this truth, but even if they put out the same set of incense, it won't produce "jade".He put aside the restless questions in his heart, and decided to take a gamble—Chang Xia.

The samurai absently picked up five identical pieces of red wood, and the five incenses seemed to him to be the same.five phases
