Chapter 1268: Three Days of Floating Grass
"It's so quiet!"
After Zhang Liang left, Chen Xu stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands and looked around the top of the mountain, but did not see the gentle figure of the water.
The pine waves in the ears are bursting, the clouds and mist are rolling around, and the sound of birds and apes echoing in the canyon stream.
After observing for a long time, Chen Xu slowly walked to the place where the water was gently boiling water to make tea, and then walked into the cave.
Everything in the cave is the same as before, one side of the stone case, several old futons, there seems to be nothing else, although it is relatively dark, but it is refreshing and dry, but Chen Xu looked back and forth, but this time he found that there is actually another mystery in this cave, because there is also an artificially dug stone niche in the cave.
I came in a hurry before, and I didn't notice it when my eyes were not good, but after practicing the Taoist Authentic Internal Breath Exercise for several years, I not only ran fast and jumped high and lasted, but my eyes were also much better than before.
Although it's not good to break into someone else's house without saying hello, Chen Xu still went to see the stone niche after a little hesitation, the area is not large, five feet wide and three feet high, and two feet deep, there is a wooden plaque enshrined in it, which reads "The Spirit Seat of the Patriarch Liegong Yukou", there is also a fist-sized bronze incense burner in front of the Spirit Seat, and there are residual incense ashes in it, and next to the Spirit Seat, there are many bamboo tubes neatly stacked, Chen Xu picked it up suspiciously, blew off the dust on it, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, Because this bamboo tube is the purple milk fairy tea he made in Xiaohe Village.
I didn't expect that eight years later, they are still stacked here.
Chen Xu sighed with emotion and couldn't help but take a closer look at the hole, in addition to the fact that the surface of the bamboo tube was very old, the fish glue that was sealed at the beginning was still tight, and there was no breakage and air leakage, so he sat under the ancient pine and carefully scraped the fish gelatin with the dagger he carried with him, and opened the lid, and found that the tea leaves inside had indeed deteriorated and fermented into brown, which was almost exactly the same as the tube where the water gently made the tea.
Sure enough, he was unintentionally planted in the willows, at the beginning he asked Shui to learn to ferment tea, to see if he could make black tea and black tea these fermented teas, in order to add different flavors and styles, but after so many years, Shui Shi does not seem to have succeeded in researching, or is not keen on studying these new teas, after all, Chen Xu said ambiguous, everyone does not know what fermented tea looks like, so there are only two kinds of tea on the market at present, in addition to traditional green tea, there is also a part of flower tea, and people who love tea in the world love green tea even more, It is believed that only by drinking green tea can you get the three flavors in tea.
"Pak~"
Just as he was looking at the tea leaves, suddenly a flower and plant with a damp earth and cold smell fell from the sky and smashed on the stone table, knocking down the tea tube that Chen Xu had opened, and the flying soil and grass clippings and the scattered tea leaves were all mixed together.
Chen Xu turned his head and saw Wukong jumping down from the cliff next to him with bulging cheeks, jumping up and down on the stone table excitedly.
"You monkey!"
Looking at the messy situation on the stone table and the tea leaves damaged by the dirt and flowers, Chen Xu flicked his brain on the monkey's head, Wukong choked his neck and swallowed what was in his mouth, and then squeaked and screamed, holding his head and squatting on the ground with tears in his eyes.
"Husband, how did Wukong make you angry again?"
Shui Gentle just came out of the path on the side of the cave, and saw Chen Xu scolding the monkey, so he hurriedly walked over and touched Wukong's head to comfort him.
"Look at it, I'm afraid I can't drink a good tube of tea!" Chen Xu sighed and lifted the bamboo tube up, looked at the messy soil and tea leaves on the table, and picked up the flowers and plants with his hands and prepared to throw them under the cliff.
"Husband, slow down!" Looking at the weed with a small purple flower in Chen Xu's hand, Shui Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out to take the flower and plant in Chen Xu's hand and looked at it carefully.
"What? What is the origin of this flower? Chen Xu looked at Shui Qingrou so cautiously and seriously, and couldn't help but ask.
"If you are gentle and not mistaken, this is a rare elixir in heaven and earth......"
"Elixir? How can there be an elixir in this world......"
Chen Xu swallowed back halfway through his words, then looked at it carefully and nodded a little strangely, "The shape of this flower and plant is really a bit peculiar, it looks like grass and bamboo...... And it blooms...... Doesn't seem to have seen ......"
Chen Xu really doesn't understand the elixir, if two thousand years later, someone takes an unknown flower and plant and tells him that this is a rare elixir in heaven and earth, and if he eats it, he can live forever, Chen Xu will definitely spit on his face.
But now, Chen Xu feels that he has changed a lot, especially after meeting Yu Wuyashui and softness, and then after meeting Chi Songzi, Huang Shigong and Guiguzi, the legendary demigods and immortals in Chinese history, Chen Xu is not so sure of the knowledge he has mastered.
This kind of thing can happen through the world, and there is nothing else in this world that can't happen.
Maybe there is really a so-called elixir in this world, I don't know if you can live forever if you eat it, at least it has many peculiar effects, such as the thirteen needles of the ghost gate, such as the five poisons to soothe the soul water, and for example, the last time the red pine nuts gave water a soft pill of Peiyuan Dan.
That Pei Yuan Dan has been in Shui Qingrou's hands, and Chen Xu has never asked, after all, this is something rewarded by Shui Qingrou's master, and it belongs to the secret of Taoism, if it is known by the First Emperor, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble, but what he doesn't know is that the Taoist elixir that even the First Emperor has never heard of has been eaten by him.
As for the medicinal power or something, according to Yu Wuya's statement, it has been wasted to grandma's house, and a pill that could have created a congenital master made him eat the effect of jelly beans.
But the so-called life sometimes has to have, and there is no time in life to force it.
This kind of thing is fate, and it has nothing to do with identity and status.
Just like martial arts, if you don't give up your life to jump off a cliff, you will never be able to get the real martial arts cheats.
But if you believe in this evil, no one will collect your body after you jump.
The difference in the middle is the ethereal trace of the power of fate, which Taoists call chance.
"Huh~" Under Chen Xu's left and right looks, and even pulling the stems and leaves, he finally found that this seemingly inconspicuous flower and plant was indeed a little strange.
The dark green leaves are slender with fluff, and they are densely covered with dark golden patterns, the color is very hidden, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see it, and the strangest thing is that the middle is a stalk that is more than a foot long, the whole body is snow-white like jade, like a bamboo joint, it seems to be weak but very tough, the top is divided into three but only blooms a small purple flower, although the flower is small, but it does not appear delicate, but the petals are thick and like purple jade, and it is not damaged and withered at all by the monkey who fell from a height of several zhang in the air......
The more Chen Xu looked at it, the more strange it became, he knew that Taoism had always had a tradition of collecting herbs and alchemy, maybe Shui Qingrou had really heard of it, so he didn't bother, and slowly began to clean up the soil and tea leaves on the stone table.
"Husband, gently and carefully recall the original words of the master, this grass should be called the three-day floating grass, it is the main elixir for refining Pei Yuan Dan, the master once said, the floating grass grows in one day, sprouts buds in one day, blooms and falls fruit in one day, and the three flowers open and bear fruit in the middle of the morning and dusk and night, taking the name of the three talents of heaven, earth and man, but there is only one flower left at the moment, and there should be two more fruits to ......"
Just as Chen Xu was about to finish cleaning up the stone table, Shui Qingrou finally slowly came back to his senses from his memories.
"Three-day floating grass, what a strange name!" Chen Xu was surprised, and then carefully searched the ground around the stone table and shook his head, "I didn't see the fruit, it must have been eaten by Wukong, and I saw that it seemed to contain something in its mouth......"
"It must be so, since Wukong can pick the floating grass, he must also be tempted by the fruit of the floating grass, and eating it can be regarded as a creation of it, and this kind of heaven and earth spirit thing depends on chance......"
Shui was gentle and serious, like a primary school student, kneeling and sitting upright under the ancient pine, facing the direction of Chen Xu, just like facing the original teacher, his voice was like a clear spring flowing and began to recite a Taoist scripture.
"The life of a saint is also heavenly, and his death is also materialized. Static and with the same virtue as the yin, moving and with the same wave with the yang. Not for the blessing first, not for the disaster. Feel and then respond, force and then move, and have to get up. To know and the reason, the reason of escape. Therefore, there are no natural disasters, no material burden, no one is wrong, and there is no ghost responsibility. His life is like floating, and his death is like rest......"
Therefore, it is said: those who are sad and happy, the evil of virtue is also; Those who are angry and angry are also guilty of the way; Those who like and dislike, Lourdes also loses. Therefore, the heart is not happy, and virtue is also; It remains the same, and it is quiet; There is nothing to complain about, and there is nothing to be done; Don't make friends with things, and it's so light; There is nothing to rebel against, and the purity is ......"
Therefore, it is said: if you work hard, you will be disadvantaged, if you use it without stopping, you will work hard, and if you work hard, you will be exhausted. The nature of water is clear if it is not mixed, and it is flat if it is not moved; It is closed but does not flow, nor can it be cleared; The image of heavenly virtue also. ”
"Therefore, it is said: pure and unmixed, quiet and unchanging, light and inactive, moving and walking in the sky, this way of raising the gods is also ......"
"The floating one, the emptiness is uncertain, the floating grass is like its meaning, the vanity is uncertain and ethereal, it comes out in three days, grows and blooms, bears fruit and falls, and then disappears......" After the water gently carried it, he gently stroked the flowers and plants in his hands, and his beautiful eyes revealed sparkling brilliance.
"This is what the senior of Akamatsuko said? Is it really that magical? Chen Xu was surprised.
"No, this scripture that I just read softly is the Taoist predecessor Zhuangzi realized, lamenting that life is vain and unpretentious, and this three-day floating grass is to take the meaning of vanity and vanity and elusiveness, although the master is not good at alchemy and medicine, but he still told us about the origin and secrets between different schools of Taoism, Peiyuan Danfujun has seen it, and the master gave me a ...... in the East China Sea."
Shui said this gently, and suddenly changed his head and said: "If this elixir is supplemented by the Taoist internal breathing exercises, it can break through the meridian pulse and break through the entrance, and if you practice diligently, you may be able to break through the shackles and step into the innate realm......"
