Chapter 1 Wishing Incense Burner(1/2)

 Late spring,

Hangzhou,

The sun is just right.

In the release pond, pieces of wood are floating on the green water, and there are many small turtles with bright yellow shells lying on them.

Everyone stretched out their necks to bask in the sun, squinting their eyes and taking a nap. They looked quite cute and cute.

Occasionally, an old turtle will try to climb up a small wooden board without overestimating its own strength. As a result, the wooden board turns over and the little turtle on it panics and runs away.

Gee, that’s strange!

Is it possible to post this in Moments without attracting attention?

Li Zhuo quickly picked up his phone to record the video.

This is Shangtianzhu Faxi Temple in Hangzhou. There is an endless stream of people who come to offer incense and release animals. Everyone is attracted to see the strange things.

In order to take a clear picture, Li Zhuo held on to the guardrail with one hand and leaned his weight on the guardrail, while holding his mobile phone in the other hand to take the photo closer.

What I didn't expect was that the bottom of the stone guardrail had already cracked, and it was just a piece of cake.

"Fuck!"

Feeling weightless, Li Zhuo fell into the release pool along with a guardrail with a "plop", making a big splash.

The turtle on the wood chip was frightened and ran away in panic.

Damn it, I was released!!

The problem is that I can’t swim!

The panicked Li Zhuo struggled twice and then landed on his feet.

The water depth is about 1.4 meters, and Li Zhuo, who is 181cm tall, will not be submerged.

It's just that the water in the release pool is relatively turbid, and you can't tell the depth from the shore.

There was an endless stream of tourists on the shore, and everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw Li Zhuo falling into the water, and then quickly reached out to pull him up.

Not to mention how embarrassed Li Zhuo was, he walked towards the pool while shaking the water.

He stumbled in the water towards the edge of the pool. He couldn't see clearly in the water, but he stepped on something unknown, but the thing was round and round——

"Ouch, damn! Today is really fucking..."

Li Zhuo slipped into the water again, but this time he quickly got up, and he still fumbled to find the culprit that caused his fall.

It's something like a hand stove, with a handle. The style looks a bit primitive, but the material can't be seen.

Before Li Zhuo could take it out from the water for a clear look, the hand stove suddenly broke apart and fell from his hand into the release pond.

At the moment of shattering, there seemed to be a faint aroma from the hand stove rushing towards me.

It's the smell of sandalwood.

Everything was broken, and Li Zhuo didn't think much about it. With the help of tourists, he climbed up from the release pool in embarrassment.

It was just when the cold returned to cold, and the weather was not very warm yet. A small breeze blew, and Li Zhuo, who was soaked all over, couldn't help but shiver.

This is a cold...

Li Zhuo hurriedly ran into the men's room, took off his wet clothes and squeezed out the water, and then put them on again with great discomfort.

"His uncle is so unlucky..."

Li Zhuo felt that today was a very unlucky day. He originally planned to come to pray during the weekend, but before he could worship Guanyin, he was heartbroken.

The current situation was not suitable for him to stay in Faxi Temple any longer, so he asked for a plastic bag from an incense shop on the roadside outside the temple.

Then I took a taxi and put plastic bags on the seats before getting in to avoid getting the seats wet.

"Where to go?" the driver asked after waiting for him to sit firmly.

"Datang New Village in Shentangqiao."

"Okay."

……

More than 20 minutes later, the taxi stopped at the intersection. Li Zhuo paid the fare and got out of the taxi. The plastic bag on the seat was already soaked with moisture. Li Zhuo did not forget to take it with him.

Datang New Village is an old community located in Gongshu qu., Hangzhou.

The 7-story building he lives in is over 20 years old, but the rent is not cheap. A small single room costs 1,600 yuan per month.

Wearing wet clothes was really uncomfortable. After Li Zhuo entered his room, he hurriedly took off his clothes and threw them on the floor, then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

I don’t feel very good. My body is a little hot and I might be getting hot.

After taking a shower, Li Zhuo rummaged around in the living room and found two packs of cold granules.

Granules are most useful when you are just about to get a fever, and you can see the effect after drinking them.

Take the medicine, go to bed and lie down.

After graduating from college, he hurriedly found a job in a local photography company. The work content was complicated, he was usually busy, and occasionally the workload was heavy, and the overall feeling was not relaxing.

I have been working for less than a year now, and my monthly income varies between 5,000 and 7,000 yuan, depending on the workload of the month.

Li Zhuo often got up early to shoot wedding celebrations and lacked sleep, so he fell asleep shortly after lying down.

In my sleep, I felt that my waist was so tight that I felt uncomfortable sleeping.

In a daze, he pushed the offending thing away and continued to sleep.

Two hours later, Li Zhuo woke up and looked at the thing on the bed sheet in a daze.

It was a round incense burner. It was not big and could be held by two hands. It had a protruding belly, a round mouth, and a hollow light white lid.

The problem is, he has seen this incense burner before, it was the thing that caused him to fall down in the life-release pond of Hozen Temple.

Li Zhuo hadn't noticed its texture before, but now he looked carefully and determined that the entire incense burner was made of white copper.

But the question is, why did the white copper object suddenly break before? Is it so brittle? And now it appears completely in front of him?

It’s really... amazing!

Li Zhuo carefully examined the white copper hand burner and found small seal characters on the bottom of the incense burner.

After carefully identifying it, he searched online and confirmed that it said "wishing incense burner".

This...

"Is it a treasured antique?" Li Zhuo was very excited for a moment, "How much would it be worth if it were an antique?"

No, no, Li Zhuo rejected this idea.

The key to the problem is how it followed me back mysteriously?

Could it be..., could it be..., golden finger?

After recognizing his master, he came back with him. It seemed that this was the only way to make sense.

Do I need to activate it?

How to activate it?

Drops of blood? Or what?

Li Zhuo took out a pencil sharpener from the desk drawer. After wiping it, he burned it with a lighter to make sure there were no bacteria or viruses. Then he touched it on his left index finger.

A drop of blood seeped out slowly, and Li Zhuo wiped it on the incense burner and looked at it with an expectant expression.

Incense burner:......

Li Zhuo:......

No response.

This...

Need a wake-up call?

"Censer? Incense burner, are you there?"

"Censer, I am your master, tell me something..."

"Incense burner, do you want a wife? As long as you open the golden mouth, I will bring it to you..."

Incense burner:......

Li Zhuo:......

It seems that seduction doesn’t work.

Li Zhuo held the incense burner and stared at it repeatedly, wishing for the incense burner, the incense burner, the incense...

Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

He quickly looked for the plastic bag he had returned from before. This plastic bag was originally used by the owner of the incense shop to store incense. He remembered that there were some broken incense in it.

He was very lucky, and he didn't get to sit on the broken incense stick. The longest incense stick was about as long as the little finger.
To be continued...
