Chapter 172 Longan Bodhi incense(1/2)
"I never misjudged it."
Luo Ding knew why Liao Zitian thought he was wrong. Just looking at the box of fragrant and the phenomenon of fragrant powder removal, even if a person who doesn’t know how to do things, he thinks it is a inferior thing. Even if it is not inferior, its value will be greatly reduced under poor storage. How can this quality of fragrance fall into the eyes of a master like Liao Zitian?
"The first standard for a good fragrance is the quality. You can tell at a glance that the broken fragrance box is caused by poor preservation. Specifically for the fragrance itself, the fragrance is covered with indentation and has been damp and removed from powder. Is this fragrance also very fragrant?"
Although Liao Zitian's voice was still very balanced, there was a little dissatisfaction in her tone. In her opinion, Luo Ding was definitely fooling herself. At the same time, Liao Zitian began to regret the unfinished building community he chose to cooperate with Sun Guoquan, because the premise of this qualification was that Luo Ding could solve the Feng Shui problem there, but judging from the box of incense that Luo Ding chose for herself, Luo Ding's ability was absolutely limited.
However, what made Liao Zitian even more angry was that she believed in Luo Ding like this, and Luo Ding treated herself in this way, which was what she really couldn't accept.
"Do you think I am a fool who knows nothing? I can coax me by spitting lotus flowers? I am such a fool who is easy to deceive?" Liao Zitian thought angrily.
"Ha, Mr. Liao, if I just deal with you, there are so many flavors downstairs, I will just take a high price and good-quality product, which is easy, right?"
Luo Ding smiled unmovedly.
Liao Zitian hated for a moment, and the person slowly calmed down. Luo Ding was right. If Luo Ding didn't really think this was a box of fragrant smells, how could he give him such a box of bad things at a glance?
Liao Zitian picked up the incense again, looked carefully, and even put the incense under his nose and sniffed it for a while.
"It's a fragrance, but... it's too ordinary, right?" Liao Zitian thought to himself.
Unlike others, Liao Zitian has been burning incense and chanting scriptures since ten years ago. Over the years, Liao Zitian's eyesight on incense are definitely truly expert, and even compared to real incense masters, it is no less than that of real incense making masters.
With her financial resources, she hasn't gotten any fragrance in the world? Even Liao Zitian's home has a collection room that is probably the most complete Buddhist fragrance in the world. If this fragrance is really a good thing, why don't you know it, and you have never even heard of it.
Liao Zitian put the incense back into the box again, shook his head and said:
"This fragrance is quite ordinary."
Of course, Sun Guoquan did not have the ability of Liao Zitian, but when he saw the fragrance, his heart was half cold. He would not think that fragrance was a good thing just from this, but his admiration for Luo Ding made it difficult for him to accept Luo Ding to take it away, so he forced a smile and said:
"Master Luo, why don't you explain it to us?"
"Whether it is a black cat or a white cat, it is a good cat to catch mice. Whether it smells good or not, just click it to tell."
Luo Ding did not explain why he thought it was so fragrant as Sun Guoquan said, but picked up a fragrant stick and put it on the small carbon stove that was boiling water.
The fine carbon in the small carbon furnace was burning red, and the fragrance immediately ignited.
When Luo Ding moved the incense out, the fiery red incense head was as bright as the fireflies in the dark night, but it was not forcing people. But what was surprising was that there was no trace of smoke, as if it was lit not the fragrance at all!
Liao Zitian is a master of incense pistachio. When she saw it, her eyes shrank. She immediately knew that she had really misunderstood just now. Just based on this, she knew that the box of incense selected by Luo Ding was definitely not ordinary.
Just as he was about to say something, Liao Zitian's heart moved, as if he was sensing something. He closed his eyes and a string of Buddhist beads seemed to suddenly appear in her hand, chanting sutras... Sun Guoquan looked at all this in surprise. He didn't know what was going on. He was about to see what he said, but Luo Ding looked at him and took a gesture of not speaking.
Sun Guoquan swallowed his words back into his stomach, but he soon felt as if he was shrouded in a slowly expanding "thing" and then his whole body gradually calmed down, and his eyes slowly closed.
A smile appeared beside Luo Ding's mouth. Isn't this smell so fragrant?
Put the kettle back on the small carbon stove, Luo Ding adds water himself, boils it, then pours the tea leaves, and makes a pot of good tea for himself step by step. Then, while drinking it slowly, he closes his eyes to calm down.
He knew that once a person like Liao Zitian who had been chanting scriptures for many years would not be a short time to respond.
Time passed slowly, and the ignition of the incense slowly burned to the end. For a moment, the entire space was as quiet as the deep mountains and forests. The uncontrollable Zen meaning filled the entire second floor space like a wave.
"Amitabha!"
Suddenly, a Buddha's name suddenly rang, awakening everyone. Luo Ding had actually known that the Seal of the Divine had arrived for a long time, and shortly after Liao Zitian entered the Seal of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine of the Divine
When the fragrance was over, Duyin slowly opened his eyes.
Under the Buddha's name from the Indian Empire, Liao Zitian, who opened his eyes, looked at the box of very ugly fragrance that was still in front of him, and didn't know what to say.
Just now, she felt that her whole body seemed to have "disappeared" all at once, and then she was in an empty world, and her body seemed to be with or "dissolved" into all things. She is all things, and all things are herself.
Many years ago, by chance, Liao Zitian began to recite scriptures every time. This state of mind had appeared, but it was just a glance. But I didn’t expect that I could easily enter in such an environment today.
The reason is nothing, it is the box of fragrance in front of you.
"Mr. Liao, I don't know how you feel about this box of fragrant things? Is that okay?"
Putting down the teacup, Luo Ding asked with a smug smile.
Liao Zitian heard the intentional teasing in Luo Ding's tone, and couldn't help but give him a glance and said, "Okay, facts are better than words. I admit that I've misunderstood you. I wonder if Luo Ding is satisfied with this?"
Luo Ding was stunned and shouted for help. The lethality of a stunning beauty like Liao Zitian who did not become a monk but was no different from a monk's eyes, which was full of secular little girls.
When Liao Zitian saw Luo Ding's reaction, his face turned red. The words he said just now were really too ambiguous.
However, this was also a matter of a moment. Liao Zitian quickly returned to his calmness, as if the incident had not happened before. This made Luo Ding scream, which was a pity.
The fairy moved the heart of ordinary people. This was the most lethal thing in the world. Liao Zitian just now was like this. Although it was just a flash of flowers, it had been enough for people to remember for a long time.
Du Yin sat down again on the futon on the table, then carefully took the incense box, pinched out a incense stick from it, looked carefully for a long time before sighing and saying:
"It's really Longyan Bodhitian."
"This incense is called Longyan Bodhixiang?" Liao Zitian asked curiously. She had never seen such incense before, and had never heard of this name.
"Well, this is Longyan Bodhixiang. I wonder where Master Luo came from?" Du Yin looked at Luo Ding, and a hot expression appeared in his eyes.
"Just in the Buddhist incense restaurant, didn't I just say that I wanted to find Mr. Liao a box of incense? When I went down to search, I accidentally found this box of incense among the numerous incense boxes."
Luo Ding briefly said what happened just now, of course it is impossible to say that he used his superpower to explore the incense and finally hit the shelf and then knocked off the box of incense.
"Just in our Buddha incense hall?" Du Yin was stunned for a moment and said incredible.
"Yes, it's in the Buddha's Fastening House."
India closed her eyes and recalled for a while, and finally said: "It seems that Master Dingyi, the one who presided over the Buddha incense restaurant for decades, was he also a master in incense making at that time. It is said that he had obtained several boxes of longan Bodhi incense. Could it be that he was left unintentionally at that time?"
Liao Zitian was not very interested in how this incense appeared in the Buddhist incense restaurant. The only thing she wanted to know now was what is the mystery of this incense?
"Master of India, what is the origin of this Longyan Bodhitian? Why have I never heard of it?"
India looked at Liao Zitian and said, "It's not surprising that you haven't heard of it. If it weren't for the record of this incense in the Foxiang Pavilion, I wouldn't recognize it. So far, this incense hasn't appeared for more than twenty years, and no one may have made it."
"ah!"
When Liao Zitian heard what Du India said, he couldn't help but scream in disappointment. She used to think that she would try her best to buy some of them, but now after hearing what Du India said, no matter how rich she is, she can't do anything.
"Then what's special about this kind of incense?" Liao Zitian was also deeply disappointed when he saw that he might not have a surname for Longyan Bodhixiang, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"I think Master Luo knows this more clearly than us. After all, he chose this incense. You should know that there are thousands of boxes of incense in the Buddha incense restaurant, and there are hundreds of types. Even I don't know that there is such a box of incense hidden in the Buddha incense restaurant. Master Luo can find it, which is really good at seeing."
The sentence of Duyin did not flatter Luo Ding, but to be honest, Duyin knew that if he saw such an incense box, he might immediately throw it out. At this time, he recognized it as the Longan Bodhixiang, but because Luo Ding had already lit the incense and had personally experienced the magic of the incense. After attracting attention, he recognized it with the records of the Buddha's incense restaurant.
Hearing India say this, Liao Zitian shifted his gaze to Luo Ding, obviously wanting to hear what he said.
"In my opinion, the most important criterion for measuring magic instruments is not quality but its ability to influence the surrounding aura. As a kind of magic instrument, of course, the same is true for fragrance."
Luo Ding's words made Liao Zitian blushed. As soon as she saw the box of fragrance and its appearance, she asserted that the fragrance was not very fragrant. Isn't it the problem Luo Ding is talking about now?
But this is no wonder Liao Zitian. There is no problem with the method Liao Zitian uses, but this Longyan Bodhixiang is indeed rare.
"The effect of incense lies in the aura formed when burning, and the influence of this aura on the surrounding environment, that is, the aura already existing on the outside. In fact, simply put, the aura formed when the good Buddha incense is burning has a purifying effect on the surrounding aura. The reason why this longan Bodhi incense is the best fragrance is that the aura formed when it burns is particularly pure and powerful. I think everyone has already felt this just now."
Indian hands clasped together and agreed:
"That's right, Master Luo is right, that's right. Longyan Bodhi incense, its preciousness lies in the fact that this incense can make people enter the realm of 'Bodhi' and experience the wonders of 'Bodhi'. How precious is this to a Buddhist practitioner?"
Liao Zitian couldn't help but be surprised. The meaning of Duyin is that this incense can allow people who have not practiced enough to experience a certain level in advance. For example, a person cannot run into ten seconds if he can run into ten seconds for one hundred meters, but there is a kind of "stimulant" that can make people run into the ten seconds mark at once. Although it is only temporary, it can make people know what it feels like when he runs into ten seconds, and thus have a direction and goal of hard work.
Seeing the shocked look on Liao Zitian's face, as if she could see what she was thinking in her heart. Duyin nodded and said, "It's true, so this kind of longan Bodhixiang is like a rare treasure for those who practice Buddhism."
Liao Zitian also nodded gently. Doesn’t the mysterious feeling he just experienced just prove this problem?
"By the way, Master Duyin, we all understand the word "Bodhi" in this incense name, but what does "longyan" mean?"
Sun Guoquan asked curiously. He was not a Buddhist practitioner. The benefits and experience he received from the Longyan Bodhi incense just now were naturally not as deep as those of Liao Zitian and Du Shi. However, even so, he still felt that the fragrance was extraordinary.
"There is a kind of longan Bodhi among the Bodhi seeds. Each of the longan Bodhi seeds has a triangular eye on it, which is a good material for making rosary beads. If you look closely at this fragrance, you will find that the triangular eye of this fragrance has this kind of triangular eye. This is the origin of the longan."
"The triangular eye is the dragon eye. The dragon has special meaning in Buddhism. The 'dragon elephant' is a metaphor for the majesty of the Bodhisattva. The 'dragon echo' is one of the three responses of Guanyin Bodhisattva. The Long Sanskrit word is transliterated as 'Naga', and it has the ability to call the wind and rain, and is a guardian of the Dharma who protects Buddhism. Alas, I really didn't expect that this fragrance would be so magical."
Liao Zitian has been practicing Buddhism for many years and is naturally very familiar with such "anecdotes".
"The Longyan Bodhixiang magic power is powerful and has the effect of exorcising evil spirits. It is the best magic tool for Qin I Buddha and Zhenzhai Ning family. Moreover, this Longan is pressed by human hands, and its formulas and so on may have been lost, so this incense is already precious and hard to find, not measured by money."
Speaking of this, Du Indian paused for a moment, then said with a look of dismay: "Donald Luo, Donald Liao, I have a request, don't you know if you should talk about it?"
Luo Ding and Liao Zitian couldn't help but look at each other, wondering why India said this.
"I hope the two donors will sell me three incense sticks. You also know that because of the blessing of the founder's founding master's copper coins, our Guanghong Temple is preparing for a celebration. If there are three incense sticks of Longyan Bodhi incenses offered to the Buddha, it will reflect the sincerity of our disciples."
This box of Xiangluo Ding has already paid before I took it up, so it is no longer a Buddha Xiangguan item.
Luo Ding pointed to Liao Zitian and said, "I declared that this incense was for President Liao, so this incense is the thing of President Liao, and it has nothing to do with me."
"This, I wonder what Liao Shishi thought?" When Du Indian heard Luo Ding say this, he looked at Liao Zitian.
If it weren't for the Longyan Bodhi incense, the Indians would not have asked for it. This incense was too precious after all. Soon after, the celebration of Guanghong Temple was a grand event in the Buddhist world. Those who came were all monks from temples across the country. With these three incenses, they would show their faces even more.
Liao Zitian looked at Luo Ding, hesitated for a moment, but in the end he did not refuse, and said to India: "Master of India, there is no problem. Just take it, I will be generous to others anyway."
This other person is naturally Luo Ding.
"Amitabha, only three of them are enough." Du Yin was overjoyed and said with his hands together.
...Walking out of the Buddha's incense hall, Liao Zitian raised the incense box in his hand, and smiled and said to Luo Ding: "Luo Ding, thank you for choosing the incense."
"Just like it." Luo Ding shrugged.
In addition to the one I had already ordered, there was also the one I took away from India. There were not many left, but each one was priced at Liancheng. Luo Ding gave it out like this without frowning.
