Duhunxiang

Qingyan Town, a century-old town at the junction of Guizhou and Guangdong, is famous for its ancient method of making incense. There is an old incense shop in the town called "Wenxiangfang", which has been passed down for three generations. After Lin Zhou graduated from university, he did not get along well in the big city. After his grandfather passed away, he returned to Qingyan Town to handle the inheritance. He originally wanted to sell the incense shop in exchange for money and start over. Unexpectedly, on the night of moving in, my grandfather's last furnace of "soul-inducing incense" that had not left the cellar before his death was lit by himself—— In the smoke, he smelled something that did not belong to a living person. What's even weirder is that people from the town started to come to my door - not to buy incense, but to "find answers". Some people are obsessed with the obsession of their late husbands, some people smell mourning incense in their homes every night, and some people dig out a jar of unburned incense from their ancestors' graves, with fingernails wrapped in the ashes. Grandpa left behind a book called "Fragrant Bone Manual". The first three pages are blank, and the back are full of lost ancient fragrant recipes. Every time a dead soul is transferred, there will be an extra blank page on the score, waiting for him to fill it with new fragrant ingredients. Lin Zhou was born with a "spirited nose" - he can smell things that others cannot smell; he can smell memories, emotions, and even the smell of death in fragrances that others can only smell. From ancient towns to provincial capitals, from the Western Regions to the South China Sea, a burner of incense and a wisp of smoke can transport all the souls of the dead in the world. But in the end, he discovered that the "fragrance" of this world was disappearing.
