Chapter 255, the determination of heaven and earth
The consumption of the end of the village can not be boneless, but sitting! The exterior view is excellent. It is a good place for literati Yabi Yawan or modern white-collar workers to pursue petty bourgeoisie, of course. The level of hospitality here is also high enough, and it is perfect for you to be elegant. Whether it is true elegance or pretending to be elegant, it is much better to be willing to be elegant than to just play tricks.
The traditional Hangzhou cuisine, Yaru Weizhuang is no different from the small restaurant on the side of the road, and there are so many things that have been famous since ancient times: West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing shrimp, called flower chicken, West Lake garden vegetable soup, Dongpo meat, etc., but the price is more exquisite and more expensive here, and there is a signature dish called a product of hibiscus. But it is not West Lake cuisine, the main ingredient is lobster.
There is also a dish called Chu Chu Hibiscus, but it is a rare private dish. Hang the lotus petals on a very thin layer of powder, fry and fry softly with cold oil over a simmer, the heat is quite good, as the oil temperature rises, the powder becomes crispy and crispy but not burnt, and it must be picked up before it changes color. Don't wait for the petals to get cold and soft, wait for the oil to rise slightly and not boil, and then get back to the pot and pick up the oil again.
In this way, the lotus petals can be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the unique fragrance of the lotus flower is exuded. Due to the fact that the puff pastry is very thin, the red color of the petals can also be seen. Spread a layer of mung bean puree on a plate. Arrange the petals into the shape of a lotus flower on the bean paste and pour a layer of lotus nectar and pollen juice. The center is decorated with a fresh lotus pod, which is extremely elegant and beautiful.
This dish is said to have been collected from the records of the "Pinfang Spectrum" written by ancient immortals, and came out at the same time as another legendary immortal book, "Dining Fang Spectrum".
It's really not easy for contemporary chefs to make it!
There is also a traditional gnocchi soup that may not have tasted like it is a hundred years ago, but now it is also made in the shape of a cat's ear and passed through boiling water to make the surface condense. Then use a colander to copy it out and cook it in a broth with diced fragrant ru, sliced ham, dried scallops, and fresh shrimp. At the end of the banquet, order a bowl of such cat ear noodle gnocchi soup, which can be used as a staple food.
The banquet is naturally staggered with taxes and guests. This time, the Nine Star Sect did not send disciples to attend the gathering in the South China Sea Fishing Village because of the embarrassment caused by Shen Sibao two years ago, but the Sand Elimination Sect still made an invitation. The disciples of the Nine Star Sect escaped a catastrophe but also missed a very wonderful party, Cangxiao deliberately came to worship the mountain should have the intention of resolving the embarrassment, Shen Shenyi of course wanted to entertain well, some topics that might hurt the peace were not talked about at the table, in short, the face was very sufficient.
Cangxiao had already visited Shen Shenyi before. The two of them drank tea in private and talked about it yesterday, and tonight was the send-off banquet before everyone of the sand elimination faction left. They are all words of congratulations to each other. After the banquet was dismissed, Shen Shenyi personally sent Cang Xiao and Leng and others to the gate of the hotel, but Cang Xiao insisted on not letting him send them again. So he saluted and said goodbye.
However, Shen Shenyi didn't leave, and returned to the private room where he had just eaten, where the master of the Shun Cane Hall was still sitting there, the table had been withdrawn, and she was standing in front of the window with a cup of tea looking at the distant view of the West Lake.
Shen Shenyi asked, "Chu Fu, have all the arrangements been made for the meeting of the abandoned mountain lake in three days?" ”
The lover didn't reply: "The green mountains and beautiful waters, the white ducks are leisurely, and the people are in the picture scroll for a long and elegant conversation, and I have already arranged it." ”
Shen Shenyi sighed: "Elegant or vulgar, I'm afraid that the landscape spirit realm can't dye people's hearts, so I can only sigh." ”
A love layman: "The clear ones are turbid, and the sighing ones are self-sighing, if you can't talk about it, senior brother, you just want to open it." ”
Shen Shen stopped talking as soon as he wanted to speak, there seemed to be deep helplessness and worry in his eyes, as if he couldn't say anything.
When Shen Shenyi was talking to a lover layman. There were also three people sitting there chatting in the Xijia Pavilion. It was getting late, and there seemed to be a moon shadow lingering in the pavilion. There are not many tourists around, just passing by on the Su Causeway in the distance, and of course they can't hear the sound of conversation in the big array of heavenly machines.
Xiang Yinghua said: "Yuhua's cousin and brother-in-law informed me that there was indeed an ambush in Xiaoyingzhou today, and An Zuojie came to meet, and they have been on guard and have not moved. We didn't leave, and these people never left, and they stook it for a day, and finally couldn't help but leave half an hour ago. ”
Cang Lan asked, "How credible is Mr. Rand's words?" You Fang thought for a while and replied: "The experience of the tea garden and the tea house, I think it is very credible, if it is not involved with the Wuchong faction, why did she accompany An Zuojie to come?" As for whether this person is a person from Tang Chaoshang or An Zuojie, or a person loyal to the inheritance of the Nine Star Sect, I can't see clearly."
Cang Lan muttered, "She cooperated with An Zuojie. This matter should be told to Shen Zhangmen, unless she doesn't trust Shen Shenyi either. ”
You Fang smiled bitterly: "I don't know about this. Although Ling Zun had already visited Shen Shenyi in private, as he had expected, Shen Shenyi was shocked and promised to clean up the sect. But no matter whether the head of the Shen sect trusts your father or me, it is impossible to entrust his net worth and life to outsiders, so the internal affairs of the Nine Star Sect. We can't really be clear. ”
Xiang Yinghua looked up at Cang Lan and said, "The head of Cangxiao is here with the crowd and will lurk nearby to answer, and you openly accompanied Rand to appear, this move is really entrusting your life." ”
Cang Lan lowered her head and said: "My father and daughter's lives were saved by Mr. Rand, and they have experienced the events of the South China Sea, if they don't cooperate with Mr. Rand, whether it is Tang Chaohe or An Zuojie, I am afraid that the first person to deal with in the future will be my sand elimination faction." There should be no reservations in public or private. Then he looked up and asked You Fang: "Mr. Rand, what should we do now, will we go to Qingshan Lake tomorrow?" ”
Xu Fang shook his head! "No, tomorrow I have something to do and want to paint. Draw six and paste,
Cang Lan's eyes lit up slightly: "Mr. Rand also works on calligraphy and painting?" That Shen Shen opened a family of four treasures. named the four treasures of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, it seems that Mr. Rand is also a hobby. ”
You Fang was a little embarrassed and stretched out his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose: "I know a little bit about calligraphy and painting, but I don't know how to play the piano and chess, I just went to sketch, but the purpose is related to the practice of secret methods, it is the obstacle to breaking through the current realm, if you travel together, you will be clear when you get to the place." ”
Cang Lan smiled slightly: "Mr. Rand's brilliant pen." Canglan naturally wants to go with you to watch. ”
Xiang Jianhua asked, "What about this moment?" ”
You Fang stood up and patted his sleeve: "I've been sitting for a day, and the scenery has been in my mind." I'm hungry, so let's go to Weizhuang and drink a bowl of noodle soup, I'll treat you. ”
Canglan: "Why do you want to go to Weizhuang for a treat?" ”
You Fang's tone was slightly exaggerated: "When I was a child, I was poor, and I couldn't afford to enter a better restaurant, but now I finally have some savings." Passing by the restaurant, I dared to enter the door to invite guests. ”
Cang Lan couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Rand said poor. How young was it? ”
You Fang turned his head to look at Xiang Yinghua and said, "Of course, before I met Yinghua." "That's the truth. You Fang started to "make money" and a little bit of his family background from Tiezhou Taojing, wasn't it before he met Xiang Yinghua?
Xiang Yinghua was also amused, and took his sleeve and said, "Passing by the West Lake, having a treat in such a beautiful scenery, can you invite Canglan to drink a bowl of noodle soup?" You Fang: "I'm a layman who talks about staple foods. If you think what kind of food is elegant and can enter the scenery, you can just order it. Smell the fragrance and get off the horse, know the smell and stop the building, then go to the flavor village to taste the taste.
Cang Lan was slightly stunned: "I remember that people's signboards are to stop the house, smell the fragrance and get off the horse, how can you stop the building?" ”
At this time, they had already left Xijia Pavilion and walked on the Su Causeway, and You Fang pointed to the distance and said, "That building, isn't it just parked at the water's edge?" ”
Cang Lan sighed: "Mr. Rand calls himself a layman, he is too modest. ”
Liuhe Pagoda is located in the Yuelun Peak on the north bank of the Qiantang River, which was built in the year of the roar of the Common Era. The original site is the south orchard of Qian Hongshu, the king of Wuyue, the king of Qian donated the garden to build a tower to suppress the tide of the Qiantang River, the original tower was destroyed in the war in the year of A.D., and the body of the brick and stone tower is now. Fall to. It took ten years to rebuild in the prosperous year, and the wooden gymnastics outside the tower were rebuilt in the Guangxu years of the Qing Dynasty.
Thousands of years ago, the purpose of the pagoda was to suppress the tide of the Qiantang River, and it can be known that this is an upright feng shui pagoda.
Six and the tower has a total of thirteen layers, seven bright and six dark such as the yin and yang cycle of elongation, enter the tower can only see the seven-story tower room, and the two layers inside and outside the masonry tower wall are up to more than four meters thick, the doorway can be more, there are many dark rooms in the tower to hide the scriptures and magic instruments to guard. There are hundreds of brick carvings on the Sumeru seat in the tower, which is an excellent material material for researching the Song Dynasty book "Building the French Style".
On this day, you did not climb the tower, but found a high slope on the south bank of the Qiantang River next to Wentao Road, opened the painting folder and sat there quietly, the charcoal pen rustling in his hand, and his consciousness outlined the mountain on the opposite bank, the Qiantang River at the foot of the mountain, and the ancient tower in the river and mountain.
As his pen fell, Cang Lan's expression on his side became more and more surprised, which was similar to the subtlety of the method of drawing feng shui gourds by the sand elimination school, but it had an indescribable artistic conception.
The painting does not have the spirit of feng shui, it is a seemingly ordinary sketch, but when You Fang paints it, there seems to be a sense of overlap in the divine consciousness, and this piece of white paper accommodates this piece of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers in every square inch. If the secret method is very similar to the search for the mountain of the mountain-seeking school, but it has other advantages.
You Fang sat by the river for a whole day, and he didn't just paint one, he painted one painting after another, and there were twenty-eight paintings in a row, and every stroke of each painting was meticulous. It seems that they are almost all identical sketches of the scenery, but the tour party has drawn the artistic conception of the rotation of the time between sunrise and sunset, but the sketch is only the outline of the scene and does not draw any shadows, and the picture naturally carries this feeling.
Cang Lan has always had a thoughtful look of doubt, but You Fang didn't speak as if she was immersed in fixed thoughts, and she didn't dare to disturb her. Xiang Yinghua just stood quietly aside, looking at You Fang who was painting with a calm expression.
As for You Fang himself, he feels that it is very difficult to put pen to paper today, refining in this place, the mystery of change is really difficult to master, and he even uses the twenty-eight sand elimination method to the brushwork, and it still seems to be enlightened.
Since ancient times, the ground gas of Qiantang in Liuhe Tower Town, the ground gas driven by Qiantang Chaoxin has been churning over Liuhe and stopped. What the divine consciousness can sense is the smooth concentration between heaven and earth and the turbulent movement against the current. It is seamless, and its pattern is wide open. It is not the same as the subtle rotation of Baolun Temple, and there is no trace of it.
In "Water Margin", Lu Zhi suddenly heard the sound of rolling thunder under the tower late at night, thinking that it was the sound of drums and wanted to get up to fight, but the monk told him that this was Qiantang Chaoxin. This flower monk, who has been killing people and setting fires all his life, remembered that when he was a monk, the master said a verse: "Listen to the circle of the tide, see the letter and be silent", and suddenly he was out of the flail and passed away.
I don't know if this story is true, but the earliest people who practiced and rehearsed this public case must have also sensed the characteristics of the spiritual qi of the Liuhe Tower, and the grand place is a "ding" word between heaven and earth! It is in the torrent rushing murder chaos, the concentration of heaven and earth, which can refine the state of mind of the wandering party at this time.
It's not that he wants to get rid of the flail and die like Lu Zhishen, but the recent situation is indeed murderous enough to be chaotic. He is like a fish falling into the tide of money. No matter how slippery it is, it can only be broken free by Chaoxin Dixin's two methods. If you can't figure it out, you will be photographed by the tide to Jiangtangbu! Within the Tang Dynasty Shang and the Xiao Shizhao Small Ten Star Sect, plus him and the Sand Elimination Faction, the situation is indeed too complicated, and a bloody battle is inevitable.
He really needs to fix his state of mind, so today he looked at the Liuhe Pagoda across the river, and painted 28 paintings in a row, finally depicting this determination, and also realized that the mystery of deep entry in the secret method practice is the way to enter the "transformation of the realm freely" from the "invisible" to the "free realm".
"What I'm looking for is a place between heaven and machine. It took a day to finally wash away the murderous chaos in my heart, and it is rare to find the practice realm here. The picturesque scenery of Qingshan Lake is inevitable, but it is inevitable that there will be a bloody killing. If you plan to move, you will move when you act, and enjoy the scenery while traveling. You Fang knew that Cang Lan had something to ask, and when he finally closed the folder. Without waiting for her to ask, she took the initiative to answer these words.
Xiang Yinghua smiled slightly, turned sideways and asked, "Miss Canglan, have you realized the skill of transforming the realm freely in the secret method after watching Rand paint for a day?" ”
It is the four-level kung fu before breaking through the realm of transferring the soul to mastering the divine thoughts, Canglan has practiced the secret method for many years, and now it can be regarded as having the invisible skill of carrying the realm, but the perception of the transformation of the realm has not been very clear.
Today, I saw You Fang painting and seemed to have a feeling, but I didn't understand it too clearly, and Xiang Yinghua woke up with a word.
Cang Lan saluted and said, "Thank you, Mr. Rand, for your guidance!" Canglan's confusion in recent years came to her senses overnight. ”
You Fang got up and smiled: "You don't have to thank me." This is your own gain, in fact, I don't have the ability to transform the realm freely, but the way is clearer. Even if the so-called formula is passed on by the teacher, if it can't resonate with the heavens, earth, mountains and rivers, it will be just a conversation after all. ”
Xiang Yinghua looked at the Liuhe Pagoda on the other side of the river and said, "Rand, your vision of collecting wind and refining realm is far above your cultivation at the moment, and it is a rare opportunity for ordinary people. You are stunned, I think about it, if you refine your state of mind at this moment within a radius of thousands of miles, you can only come to this place. ”
You Fang sneered: "Do you want to praise me too?" Coincidentally, we happened to be in Hangzhou. ”
Cang Lan showed a little shyness, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Mr. Rand." I have something to ask for, can you give me a picture of what you made today? ”
You Fang handed over all the twenty-eight paintings in the painting folder: "If vulgar things can enter the eyes of the Dragon Girl in the South China Sea, these twenty-eight paintings are just one, and I will give them all to you, but don't forget that I got the Twenty-Eight Feng Shui Yuan Bureau gourd in the South China Sea Fishing Village." Xiang Yinghua sighed slightly: "If we have time, we should really stay here for two more days." ”
You Fang: "It's a pity that I don't have time to come again tomorrow, so I can only take the scenery with me, and I plan to visit Yiqingjushi." ”
As they spoke, a few people had already walked down the high slope and walked along the riverside, and Cang Lan asked, "Now that all the hall masters of the Nine Star Sect have come to Hangzhou, why are you just going to visit the Yiqing layman?" ”
You Fang: "Yiqing Layman is the master of Shun Cane Hall, in charge of the inheritance of the secret method of the sect, if something goes wrong, she is also a group of Wuchong faction, then the Nine Star Sect is really finished, Shen Shenyi is innocent, this is the case." The head should also judge himself. ”
Xiang Yinghua asked, "Isn't this a surprise to the snake?" ”
You Fang smiled coldly: "I just want to startle the snake, An Zuojie has already released a rumor that I came to Hangzhou to be an enemy of some people in the Nine Star Sect, so why don't I show up openly?" ”
Hangzhou Lingyin Temple next to the Feilai Peak nearby, there is a tea room on the side of the road called a love house, located in a mountain wall full of wisteria, the environment is very quiet. The interior is different from the booth layout of the general tea party. The tea table is full of antique sandalwood long cases. It is separated by a roller curtain, and if you drink tea here loudly, it will ruin the scenery, and you can faintly hear it between the chantings, and the figures of the tea guests can be seen through the roller blinds.
There are four treasures in the tea room, and you can meet friends with calligraphy and painting when you taste tea, and the tea sold here is quite a concubine!
Today, a love house has hung out a sign of closure early in the morning, and the guys are all on vacation, and a few regular customers who often come to the tea party come to the door and go disappointed. When Mei Land, Xiang Yinghua, and Canglan walked from the rolling hills and mountain roads, there was a person standing in front of the tearoom door looking at the road, a woman wearing a pink dress, a half-braided bun, and a long police officer diagonally. At first glance, she looks like a person in a painting, and behind her is the teahouse and the hill, and the green trees and wisteria on both sides. It's all picturesque.
You Fang had seen her in Songhe Valley, and there were two women in the twelve hall masters inside and outside the Nine Star Sect, one was Liu Si, the hall master of the Interception Hall, and the other was this Shun Stick Hall Master Yiqing layman. When he came, he clasped his fists a few feet away and saluted: "I'm really sorry that the layman disturbs Yaju, why should the layman be so polite and wait at the door?" ”
The lover replied, "Sit alone in the mountains." There is a light breath in the wind, the ancients heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, knowing that Mr. Rand and the Moon Shadow Fairy and the South China Sea Dragon Girl came to visit together, this is my quiet residence of the elegant luck, how can I not descend to greet each other? ”
Xiang Yinghua and Cang Lan also hugged their fists together and saluted, and at this time, Xiang Yinghua gestured to You Fang with his eyes. You Fang looked at the building. Xiang Yinghua secretly told him that there was only one person left inside and outside this teahouse, and that was Yilover himself. In the face of the obviously tentative visits of these three masters, she either seemed to really don't care, or she was risky and showed openness.
