Chapter 8: The Story of the True Incense, Keep Your Lowness

In fact, Xie Zihao usually did breakfast in the cafe downstairs of his home, but Xie Zihao, who came here, was a little uncomfortable with this Western-style simple meal. He felt it was difficult to swallow it after eating it twice. He was more used to the middle-earth breakfast of soy milk, fried dough sticks, tofu brains, steamed buns, lean meat porridge, and other middle-earth breakfasts.

In addition, the cafe was retiring a week ago, which he had already decided before he came here, so now he had no choice but to eat.

Of course, more than 60% of them are in the urban area of ​​the Tang people, so there is naturally a shop for making Chinese-European cuisine in Pasadena where he is located, and it is different from the Tang people's food that was modified for tourists in Luocheng Chinatown. The Cantonese morning tea, tide and Sichuan cuisine here are both famous because the most immigrants came from the southeast coastal areas in the early years.

It's a bit far from the street where he is, so Xie Zihao usually buys ingredients and takes time to make some semi-finished products to freeze them in the refrigerator. When he wakes up in the morning or when he is hungry at night, he puts them in the pot and cooks some.

This is also a habit developed in life alone for several years in the previous life.

However, although the relocation of the coffee shop did not affect his breakfast, it also made Xie Zihao, who had traveled through time, financially tight.

Although the new tenants have been settled and will be moved in soon, there will be a period of rent failures between old tenants and new tenants. In addition, Xie Zihao's huge expenses in practice have made the originally not rich deposits a little worse.

This is also one of the reasons why Xie Zihao chose to be a street hero to "fight criminals", because the main materials for his current practice are too high for him.

The one he lit in the incense pot before was his homemade incense ball, called Huanzhenxiang, which is one of the "Zhenzhenxiang Score" passed down by the Xie family.

This true incense recipe is said to be the inheritance of the former Ming Wenxiang Sect. Of course, based on the words revealed by Xie Zihao from the notes of his ancestors, he felt that most of these incense recipes were collected by the ancestors of the Xie family from the disciples of the Wenxiang Sect or their descendants who fled after being wiped out by the court for rebellion. There may be many methods of coercion and inducement.

However, the guys from the Wind Xiang Sect are not good people. They are best at inciting the people to rebel, so Xie Zihao has no psychological burden when using them. Everyone is a bandit and meets a robber, so let alone the second brother.

After traveling through time, he used several methods of configuration of strange fragrances recorded on the incense score to test it, and found that the effect was very good. It was combined with the secret techniques inherited by the Xie family and had a miraculous effect to assist in practice. It is a must-have item for practicing at home and traveling around the world.

The ingredients are too expensive. After all, many ordinary spices are not cheap, especially some expensive varieties.

The illusion is also called mirage fragrance. As the name suggests, according to the incense spectrum, it is an auxiliary object that combines magic and tricks such as illusion. Because the formula includes natural pearl powder, benzoin, ambergris, agarwood and mica powder, mandala leaves, yingzu shells, raccoons and other materials from the previous year. It is a contraband in the previous life. Xie Zihao's family only has a few pills passed down from the past. It is said that after ignition, there will be a slight hallucination effect.

Xie Zihao made up in this world and found that this incense is used to carry the power of the caster's belief and transform it into incense trust power to sacrifice the paper refiner's substitute, which is much easier to use than ordinary incense.

The so-called incense trust is an extraordinary power composed of two parts: incense and trust.

Incense is a medium that carries the power of faith. Before the "Incense and Candle Ingot" was invented in Middle Earth, ancient witches, Taoists and ordinary people, such as priests and Taoists, used burning incense and firewood or offerings to sacrifice gods and ancestors, but this was inefficient and cost a lot. Every sacrifice was exhausted and costly, which easily shakes the foundation of the ruler. Therefore, with the development of the times, various simple substitutes gradually evolved. Finally, with the development of the times, incense and Candle Ingot became daily sacrifices for ghosts and gods.

In fact, in Western religions, essential oils, aromatherapy, holy water and other items are also used as media for carrying beliefs.

As for faith, it is the so-called power of faith and vows, which is the power generated by the thoughts of sentient beings. It is very weak in a single way, but after gathering thousands of people, it will form a powerful force, which is so powerful that it can turn the virtual into reality and interfere with reality with illusion.

The reason why he chose to configure the higher grade and expensive Huanzhenxiang instead of the ordinary Xinxiang used to worship gods is that although the Huanzhenxiang materials are relatively expensive, the configuration is easier and simple. Compared with ordinary Xinxiang, it requires three steaming and three drying. Some materials need to be dried slowly. It takes at least ten days and half a month to make a batch, and some complex incense recipes are often calculated based on the moon.

Although the Huanzhenxiang needs precious materials such as natural pearl powder, benzoin, ambergris, agarwood and other valuable materials of the previous year, they only need to stir-fry on low heat and mix the materials with rootless water to make them into pills. It is rare to have the heat and ratio, but the time can be at least ten times shorter than ordinary Xinxiang, and it can be made in only three days at most.

However, the materials are not cheap. The most expensive ambergris is an expensive perfume raw material. However, the ordinary goods are also priced at gold. Although the amount is very small, it also makes Xie Zihao's wallet bleed heavily.

For Xie Zihao, who is in a hurry to master the power of self-protection in this strange world, he would rather spend more money than waste time.

If it weren't for the fact that another incense recipe, "Evil-Baring Incense", it was necessary to use rhinoceros horns, which are difficult to buy for money, to protect animals. In addition, Evil-Baring Incense is too aggressive and is actually not suitable for carrying beliefs. He planned to make this Evil-Baring Incense.

Because the production time of this incense recipe is the shortest of all incense recipes he knows, and the slowest can be completed in less than half a day.

In his previous life, Xie Zihao only regarded the incense making technique as a craft of incense making, and there are many shops on Taobao, and it feels like it is almost flooded. So he didn't take it seriously.

At present, whether it is the various incense recipes recorded in the true fragrance score or the secret techniques inherited by the Xie family, it costs a lot of money to study it, so how to make money has become his top priority.

At that time, it happened that the old movie about street crime was broadcasting on TV, which reminded him of the idea of ​​finding some money to spend from criminals spreading throughout the urban circle in the darkness of Luocheng.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this approach is very feasible. After all, Luocheng has the title of "City of Sin" among the common people of the Federation and is a place where gangs gather.

"What's more, getting some money from those villains can not only fight against sin, punish evil and promote good, contribute to the public security of Daluo City, but also add resources to your own practice. It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!"

So Xie Zihao made excuses for being righteous in his heart. After initially self-study and figuring out some extraordinary power, he almost spent all his previous savings. Xie Zihao, who was short of money, chose to take the risk of walking on the streets of Luocheng late at night and carried out his first action to punish evil and eliminate evil.

In fact, there is no eyebrow in swords and guns, and even less eyebrows. If he hadn't carried a one-seven-double stand-in, although this stand-in could not move, it could exert the natural hypnotic power of the Sharingan. At night, it was Itachi's home court. Otherwise, even if he had obtained spiritual power beyond mortals, he was still a physical mortal, and would not dare to come out easily to act as a street hero and give himself some extra money.

The reason why I am so anxious to make money to improve my strength is because I have some anxiety in my heart.

Because since he can all gain extraordinary power, this world must be different from his previous life, and it has extraordinary power.

"Since I have gained strength, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to step into this circle. If I don't become stronger as soon as possible, I'm afraid one day I will encounter irresistible dangers."

At the same time, Xie Zihao was so anxious to choose to take the risk to make money because he was still a little afraid of the "God's Ball" in his mind. According to the experience of the King Hong Tian in his ancestors' notes, it proved that this thing must have some unknown secret.

But the ball of God has not come out after it has entered his head. It seems that it has settled down there, and Xie Zihao has no ability to break his head and take it out, so he can only suppress his concerns for the time being.

"Rely on the power of this thing first, transform more incense and trust to the paper doll substitute, try to strengthen yourself, and find a way to get it out when you have the ability in the future!"

Prepare for the future, keep a low profile, accumulate food and become king slowly. For a while, many of the proverbs of the ancestors of the Middle Earth appeared in Xie Zihao's heart, making him more and more decisions that he must act in a low-key manner.

There will be some more later
