Chapter 12 Strange Minds
In the evening, while no one was around, Lu Tao went to the kitchen with a few pieces of paper, and he wanted to try to see if the mantra would burn again if he wrote the mantra on the paper, and confirmed whether it was an accident before.
An iron basin was placed on the ground, Lu Tao lay on the floor and silently wrote the mantra of the first chapter of the heart method, the kitchen is different from other places, the floor here is tiled, so there is no need to worry about suddenly getting up and setting the house on fire.
After the last word was written, Lu Tao quickly threw the paper full of words into the iron basin, and saw the orange-red flames rising rapidly, reflecting the surrounding walls in red, burning for more than an hour before gradually dissipating, leaving black ashes at the bottom of the basin.
Lu Tao watched the flame completely extinguished, and suddenly had an immature idea, the intensity and time of the flame burning, not at all like what a piece of paper should have, if you use these pieces of paper with formulas to cook, will you be able to save money on natural gas? Recently, the price of natural gas has risen, and the cost of living has become much higher.
When the last embers in the iron basin dispersed, Lu Tao lay there and began to write another piece of paper, but this time, Lu Tao wrote to the end, leaving not a word to write, and threw this piece of paper into the iron basin, Lu Tao waited for ten minutes, and nothing happened.
Lu Tao nodded, now he can confirm that as long as he doesn't finish writing all the content on the formula, the paper will not burn.
There is no punctuation in this mantra, but there is a little blank space between each sentence to facilitate the breaking, Lu Tao folded the paper that had not been burned and put it away, confirming the previous guess: the nameless mind method cannot be written on the paper in the right way, otherwise it will burn itself.
As for the reason, Lu Tao didn't know at all, but he could be sure that the nameless heart method in the hands of the Red Lotus predecessor seemed to be the first to use it.
Lu Tao opened the "Nameless Heart Method", and turned back from the first formula, there are three formulas and corresponding postures for Qi refining and foundation building, corresponding to the low, medium and high levels of each stage of Qi refining and foundation building, and all of them are written in simplified Chinese, probably these formulas, each of which can't be written on paper, right?
......
In a blink of an eye, two days passed, and Tang Xin, one of Lu Tao's tenants, basically stayed at home for the past two days, Lu Tao could often hear strange noises coming from next door, and he didn't know what she was doing.
Because of the killer who suddenly disappeared before, Lu Tao was still a little worried that he would make a comeback, but two days passed, and nothing happened, since Tang Xin had no intention of going out, Lu Tao still reminded Tang Xin and asked her to be careful when she went out.
As for Lu Tao himself, since his grandmother died, he rarely went out, except for eating or buying vegetables, he would only stay at home most of the time, and now that he knows that there may be danger, Lu Tao will definitely not go out before refining qi.
After refining the first layer of qi, you have to go to the Monk Alliance.
As for the Red Lotus senior, except for coming out during dinner, he stayed in his room the rest of the time, Lu Tao wanted to add something to the bare room of the Red Lotus senior, but everything had to wait until he refined his qi or had the ability to protect himself, at least after being able to deal with ordinary people.
So, in this two-story apartment, the three residents didn't go out, and they didn't know if the killer who attacked Honglian's predecessor before was still there, and they would feel congested.
Anyway, Lu Tao felt that the cultivation process of more than four hours a day was very comfortable, and the time passed quickly, but in the past two days, those spiritual qi that had turned into milky white points of light had been absorbed by Lu Tao, but Lu Tao didn't know where they had gone and what effect they had on his body.
On April 20, 2019, Lu Tao was practicing with the posture of five hearts facing heaven and earth.
There was a knock on the door, Lu Tao looked at the time, another morning had passed, Lu Tao rubbed his temples, I don't know if there was any way to stop before his divine sense was completely exhausted, and every time his temples twitched, his temples throbbed.
When I opened the door, it was Tang Xin next door, she was wearing a loose blue dress, she had been wearing this style of clothes since the first day she came here, and Lu Tao remembered that there was a red dress of the same style.
"Landlord, isn't it time to cook?"
Lu Tao just looked at the time, it was indeed almost time to cook, Lu Tao thought about the remaining things in the refrigerator, and suddenly found that the ingredients had been used almost, at most tomorrow afternoon, he had to buy new ingredients to fill the refrigerator.
This is a bit bad, obviously decided not to go out before refining the first layer of qi, Lu Tao frowned, in order to avoid danger, do you want to ask the Red Lotus seniors to go out with him? I just don't know what to say.
"Landlord?"
"Oh, oh, it's time to cook, it'll be ready in a moment, you wait a minute, I'll call you when it's done." ”
"No, landlord, can I help you while you're cooking?"
Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what she meant, why did she suddenly want to help him cook?
"Actually, I don't need to help, I cook very quickly, and it will be ready in a while. ”
Tang Xin hesitated for a moment, and then seemed to have made up his mind.
"No, landlord, I want to learn how to cook, I think...... Landlord, what you make is very tasty, and you want to learn how to do it. ”
"Oh, that's fine, wait a minute. ”
Lu Tao agreed, but he just taught Tang Xin how to cook, it should not be difficult, he was told by others that cooking was delicious, Lu Tao was also very happy, and the previous tenant also said so, but I don't know why Honglian's predecessors have not been very satisfied.
Pulling out the jade spoon from the computer and putting it away, Lu Tao was about to take Tang Xin to the kitchen on the first floor, but saw Hei standing at the door, Tang Xin was touching his head.
Lu Tao: "......"
When did this guy come over? Lu Tao clearly told him not to run out, it is better not to let others know about the talking cat.
"Is this your cat?"
The lethality of cats to women is really huge, and when Tang Xin speaks, Lu Tao seems to be able to see the stars emerging from her eyes.
"That's right, it's my cat, and it's called Black. ”
"Black, so cute!"
Black made a "meow meow" sound, Lu Tao pulled the corners of his mouth, it turns out that this guy can meow.
After a while, Tang Xin seemed to react, she stood up and said to Lu Tao: "Ah, I'm sorry landlord, let's go to the kitchen!"
Lu Tao nodded, then gave Hei a look, and walked down the stairs with Tang Xin.
......
"Tang Xin, do you know how to chop vegetables?"
"No, it won't. ”
"What about peeling the eggplant?"
Lu Tao picked up a pair of long purple eggplants, which were the ingredients for preparing minced eggplants for lunch.
"Uh...... I won't ...... if I peel it."
"Okay, then you wash these vegetables first, and you can see my movements when I chop them later. ”
Lu Tao picked up several vegetables from the other side and handed them to Tang Xin, showing her how to wash the vegetables, and after Tang Xin signaled that he understood, Lu Tao began to peel the eggplant with a paring knife.
While busy, Lu Tao was thinking about the problem, seeing that Tang Xin had never touched the kitchen, when the Red Lotus monk told her the hexagram before, he also mentioned that she ran out of a conflict with her family, Lu Tao couldn't help but wonder, Tang Xin wouldn't be the eldest lady somewhere, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Tao laughed again, how is it possible, this is not an idol drama.
"Landlord, why are you smiling so strangely? Did I do something wrong?"
"Ahem, no, it's me who thought about the past, okay, no need to wash it anymore, that's fine. ”
Lu Tao took the washed vegetables from Tang Xin's hands, picked up the knife and explained to Tang Xin the essentials of cutting vegetables, then took the peeled eggplant, demonstrated it at a very slow speed, and handed it to Tang Xin to let her try to do it according to the essentials.
When Tang Xin cut the eggplant into large and small strips, Lu Tao took the kitchen knife and used his normal speed to cut the remaining eggplant into even strips.
Looking at Tang Xin's adoring eyes, Lu Tao felt that teaching people to cook was quite interesting.
