Legend has it that in the ancient times, countless years ago, the world was not the current situation of three ancient kingdoms divided into one side, but a large number of small countries, with constant conquests and wars against each other. At that time, there was a small country on the bank of the Kun River with only more than a thousand inhabitants.

It's called Blue Lotus Country.

People in this country don't like war and are content with a plain and peaceful life. In addition to farming and fishing, the Blue Lotus Country's livelihood is to plant lotus flowers.

Every year when all kinds of lotus flowers bloom, it is the time when the whole country of Blue Lotus celebrates the festival. At that time, water monsters who like all kinds of lotus seeds will come quietly at night. At first, the water monsters like to eat lotus seeds.

The lotus pods are all very careful and do not dare to damage any lotus rhizome.

Later, attentive residents discovered this. Everyone knew that the monsters in the river were extremely ferocious and unwilling to be kind to people, but they happened to be honest and honest when they arrived in the Blue Lotus Kingdom. This incident touched everyone's heart.

thought.

So when the Blue Lotus people celebrated the harvest of lotus every year, they stored a large amount of lotus seeds and actively fed them to the monsters who came to ask for food. As expected, the monsters became more and more dependent on human feeding, and gradually became Blue Lotus.

Lotus national pet.

In order to repay the gifts given by the people of Lanlian, the monsters often drove large numbers of fish to the territory of the Li River, allowing people to enjoy a bumper harvest. In less than a hundred years, Lanlian became a well-known and prosperous country in the world.

But the good times don't last long. The fat sheep will eventually attract the covetousness of evil wolves. The neighboring countries go to war, and the entire country's soldiers come crazy. They not only burn, kill, loot and plunder, but also kill the people of Lanlian. The king of the other side even

Forcing the leader of the Lanlian Kingdom to sacrifice his most beautiful little daughter.

Coincidentally, the princess was also called Lan Lian. She was kind-hearted and often used royal wealth to help people in need. She was deeply loved by the people. When they heard that the enemy wanted to force the princess to leave, the whole country screamed and wanted to fight with her.

The other party fights to the death.

But Princess Lanlian was unwilling to cause the lives of people to suffer because of her own affairs, and she was unwilling to be humiliated by her enemies, so this strong-tempered princess decided to fight her fate with her own life.

That day, the princess sat on a bamboo raft covered with lotus flowers, lit a furnace of incense she made from lotus seeds, and floated towards the end of the Kun River.

At the same time, the unfaithful invaders led their troops into the Blue Lotus Kingdom, and the people were mercilessly slaughtered, leaving no one alive.

In an instant, a violent wind blew up on the river, and the bamboo raft overturned. Princess Lanlian died and sank to the bottom of the water. At that moment, the sky and the earth wailed and changed color. Thunder, lightning, hail and showers frightened the enemies of the neighboring invaders.

All the monsters in the water within the range are angry.

These monsters roared and rushed onto the river bank, biting the invaders from neighboring countries wildly until corpses were everywhere and no one was left alive.

After several days of killing, the monsters in the water dived back into the Lang River, never to be seen again.

Since then, the Blue Lotus Kingdom and its neighboring countries have perished, but the remaining Blue Lotus citizens have thrived and lived by the river and survived with difficulty. They are the ancestors of the residents of Huiyang Town.

And the most important thing is that the lotus seed incense made by Princess Blue Lotus has also been passed down. Relying on the sale of this incense, Huiyang Town has prospered for many years, and it has its current scene.

When the owner of the guest shop said this, he glanced at Guan Heng, who was dozing off with his eyes slightly closed, and continued to speak helplessly: I told the story of lotus seeds incense with ups and downs, and now I am so tired that my mouth is dry.

I'm so bored, why don't you give me a few compliments and give me some face?

Well, after you finished telling it, Guan Heng yawned and said: Sorry, boss, I have heard too many stories like this before, so I am used to ignoring them now, hehe, but what you said is really good.

By the way. Guan Heng asked again: You blow incense so much, what are its benefits and where can you get it?

Just smell the real lotus seed incense. It can calm the mind, eliminate fatigue, and prolong life. When the boss said this, he couldn't help but shook his head: However, there is no lotus seed incense made of blue lotus in the town now.

.

Hearing this, Guan Heng frowned slightly and asked: Why is this? It is because a huge accident happened more than ten years ago.

The boss explained at this moment: For some reason, the blue water lilies raised by everyone in the town, as well as the wild blue water lilies in the river, all withered and died, and not a single one was left. It was like humans were infected with the disease.

There was a plague, so everyone called this the lotus plague.

The boss paused for a moment before continuing: Since the blue water lilies are gone, the best quality lotus seed incense cannot be made. Almost all incense making workshops are closed.

door, but there are plenty of jobs that can make a living in the town. Everyone has changed careers, and only

Just as the shop owner said this, an old man in ragged clothes suddenly came to the door. He was hunched over, and followed by a little boy carrying a bamboo basket. Although this child had no disability, he had a hare lip, which made people look stunned.

Compassion.

Boss Zhu, would you like some incense today?

The hunchbacked old man said with a bit of pleading in his tone: I have visited seven or eight shops, and everyone said they don't want it, but my family has been without food for a few days, so I can only shamelessly come to you to ask for some more incense, as long as I can give it to you.

Just some simmering rice will be enough for us, please. The old man won’t eat it, but the child won’t be able to bear the hunger, cough cough cough.

Alas, Lao Gu, it wasn’t me who told you that you refused to change your career back then.

Boss Zhu looked at the embarrassment of the old and the young, and couldn't help but sigh: Although your Gu family has the oldest incense workshop in Huiyang Town, after the extinction of the blue water lotus, they only use ordinary lotus seeds.

No one wants the incense that comes out.

If there are no blue lotus seeds as raw materials, no matter how good your craftsmanship is, it will be useless. Look, the incense piled up in my shop is all sent by you, and it can't be sold at all.

Seeing the embarrassment and distress on the other side, Boss Zhu continued: No matter how kind-hearted I am, Mr. Zhu, I can't always help you. As you said, the old ones won't eat, and the young ones can't bear the hunger.

, in my opinion, you two, grandfather and grandson, should hurry up and find another way to make a living, otherwise, sooner or later, you will end up starving to death on the streets.

Guan Heng couldn't bear to listen at this time. He whispered to Boss Zhu: Hey, please stop saying a few words. I'm so pitiful, can't you help me?

I have been helping the poor Gu for several years. Before Boss Zhu could finish speaking, Guan Heng took out a gold shell and pushed it in front of him: Go and tell him that he has accepted all the incense and put it in your shop.

You can sell it for whatever you want, and I won't ask you for it. That's alright. Also, don't say it was my intention.
