281 The Fire of the Two Rituals
"What about this wishful bowl?" I picked up the wooden bowl again, and just as I wanted to try it, I was stopped by Master.
"Don't mess around!" He rebuked, "This bowl has become the largest and can be as big as a small pool, do you want to collapse my house?" ”
"So powerful?" My saliva is about to come out again.
"In addition to getting bigger and smaller, this Ruyi bowl can also be filled with all kinds of things from the underworld. As long as it is dead, it can be filled inside, and then it shrinks as the bowl shrinks. This bowl is perfect for all kinds of ingredients and herbs. ”
"But what if it's just a bowl, what if those different kinds of ingredients are mixed together? For example, the blood of the earth dragon and the ghost bamboo shoots, one is extremely fishy and the other is extremely primitive, and they can all be destroyed when they are mixed together! ”
"It doesn't matter, as long as the Ruyi bowl is in a place with yin qi, it will refrigerate them like a refrigerator and keep them fresh. In the underworld of the underworld, the most important thing is yin! ”
"That's a lot more practical!"
I grinned and put the bowl down and went back to fiddling with the wishful box. This box is only about a foot long, wide and high, and is designed with two layers, with four small drawers on the left and right sides. I pulled out a random one, and it was empty. The other three were drawn separately, and they were also empty.
"Can this wishful box also become bigger and smaller? But it's only four drawers, which is not enough! ”
Chinese cuisine is particularly particular about seasonings, and often a delicate and high-end dish requires more than a dozen or even dozens of seasonings, so there must be at least one cabinet for seasonings in the Chinese kitchen.
The master smiled very proudly and said, "Then I'll come and show you a trick!" ”
As he spoke, he reached out and pulled out a small drawer at random. Ooh! Is it really a trick? That little drawer was filled with white crystals!
I dipped some of my fingers in my mouth and licked it, well, it's real salt!
"You try this again!" Master smiled and pulled open a small drawer, which was also filled with white crystals.
"It's sugar!" I dipped some more to taste. Sure enough, sweet!
"What more would you like to taste?" Master asked me.
"Vinegar!"
I picked a choice that I felt was the least likely to come, somewhat mischievously. The vinegar is sour and strong, and it is still liquid, so it is unlikely that it is also contained in this wishful box.
"No problem!" But the master was full of confidence and opened the third drawer. There was really a box of black liquid inside, and it had a pungent sour smell!
"Aren't you afraid of leaks?" I was stunned and asked Master.
"Can't leak! You don't want to taste it? ”
"No, I believe it!"
"What more do you want?"
"Shrimp paste!"
"Yes!"
"Wow! Master, you are truly divine! ”
The master was triumphant, pushed the four small drawers back, and said to me very mysteriously, "The more divine ones are in the back!" You've seen all four drawers of the stuff just now, and now you're going to name four different seasonings! ”
I looked at Master in amazement, it was already amazing to be able to hide four seasonings in such a small box, could it be that he still had five, six, seven, or eight?
"Paprika!"
"Yes!"
"Ginger!"
"Yes!"
"Octagonal!"
"Yes!"
"Cooking wine!"
"Yes!"
"Cinnamon!"
"You clever ghost! Ha ha! Master laughed.
He asked me to say four more, and I said five in a row. But it didn't bother him!
Master casually closed the small drawer containing the cooking wine, and then opened it again, and the contents changed, this time it was really cinnamon!
"Wow! Master, you're so good! You can go to CCTV to perform magic tricks! I screamed.
After the master finished laughing, he still waved his hand and said very modestly: "For those of us who are in the line of yin cultivation, low-key is the first criterion, where do you deliberately show your head?" Do you want to be seen as a freak? ”
"That's right!" I thought about it, and there was nothing wrong with that. It's okay to show off in front of others once in a while, but if you really use it to perform on the show to fool people, you can't say that you will do this magic, right?
Master resumed his serious tone and explained, "The function of this wishful box is actually very simple, it can only be used in places where there is yin qi, and it can be filled with a hundred kinds of seasonings without conflict. When you use it, you can control it by your own mind, and what comes to your mind! If you run out of four drawers, close them and open them to change to another one! ”
"Sure enough, it's a wishful box! It's amazing! ”
I fiddled with it myself, but the little drawer was closed in and pulled out, and it was empty again. It seems that there has to be a special secret.
"Master, you've shown me so many treasures, are you going to pass them on to me? Then tell me all the usage! "I touched this, I touched that, and I couldn't put down any of these treasures.
"It's very easy to use, and you'll understand it as soon as I say it." Master said, but as he spoke, he pulled the knife out of my hand and put it back in the big box under the bed.
"Master, what do you mean by that?" I'm in a hurry, that normal knife is the most powerful treasure here, you don't want any of the others, you can't do without a knife!
Master ignored my protests and said expressionlessly, "Pots, shovels, bowls, and boxes can all be given to you, but this normal knife can't be given to you for the time being!" ”
"Why?"
"This knife is not easy to handle. Since the name is called 'business as usual', it requires a normal heart to be able to exert its full power. Therefore, there are high requirements for the user's cultivation and mental nature. You've only now cultivated to the third level of Yin Gong, and your mentality is too impetuous, and your temperament hasn't completely stabilized, so I can't pass it on to you yet! ”
"When will that be?"
I heard him say that it is very mysterious, and it is just a matter of having requirements for cultivation, and using a kitchen knife actually requires a "normal heart"! What the hell is a "normal heart"?
Master shook his head and said to me regretfully, "If you don't even understand what the 'ordinary mind' is, it means that you haven't met the requirements to use it. In fact, even now I am struggling to use it because of the great reduction in cultivation. Well, at least you'll have to wait until you reach the fourth level! ”
"Okay......"
In the face of Master's stubbornness, I was also a little helpless. But anyway, he has already awarded me four treasures at the bottom of the box in one breath today, and I really can't be too greedy!
Master quickly taught me the secrets of using those four treasures, and then I officially got to the point: how to stir-fry yin food!
Master said: "Before, the Yin Gong I taught you was actually the secret method of the Ghost Dining Gate, and the official name is: 'Liangyi Heart Method'!" ”
"The Liangyi Mind Method is divided into two parts: Yin and Yang. What you learned before was the Yin chapter, which can increase Yin Gong cultivation and stir-fry ghost meals, and now I will teach you the Yang chapter, which is specially used to fry yin meals. You memorize the mantra first: ......"
The Liangyi method is really broad and profound, compatible and compatible!
Compared with the Yin chapter, the Yang chapter of the Liangyi Heart Method draws more on Taoist theories, and it is actually required to learn how to manipulate yang energy! This is a patent for Taoist cultivation!
After learning the Yang Method, the most important thing in the next fried yin meal is to first merge the fire of the two instruments. To put it simply, it is to fuse the ghost fire and the open flame together, and refine it into a flame that combines yin and yang, and coexists!
In the evening, Master found a stove in the courtyard that had been used to sell barbecues, piled some charcoal in it, and built a small open fire. Then he also gave birth to a small cloud of ghost fire in the palm of his hand, the ghost fire was green, and the open flame was red. The master shook his hand and threw the ghost fire into the stove.
"Zizi!"
The two flames intersected and made a strange noise, as if water had been poured on the fire. But that ghost fire didn't last long, and soon the pure yin ghost fire was swallowed up by the pure yang flame!
But I knew that Master was just doing a small experiment for me to observe now, so I patiently continued to see what He did.
"How is the fire in the stove now than it was at the beginning?" Master asked me.
"Well, it's a little smaller." I replied.
"Look at this one again."
A ghost fire once again grew in the palm of Master's hand. However, the ghost fire that was born this time was very vigorous, and the green flames were whirring upward. Master also threw the ghost fire into the stove. Suddenly, the yin and yang confrontation that was even more turbulent than just now was staged again!
"Zizizi!"
"Hiss!"
The unpleasant shrill sound continued for a long time. After about five minutes, this time the yin was better than the yang, and the open fire was defeated by the ghost fire. The charcoal in the stove had turned a dull black-gray color, and the remaining small ghost fire floated on it. It's almost a lose-lose situation.
"You touch it." Master pointed to the charcoal in the stove.
I reached in and touched it, not only was it not hot, but it was actually cold, as if it had never burned!
"Yin and yang are mutually restrictive, it is impossible for these two flames to coexist!" I couldn't help but say.
"Don't worry, you can take a look."
Master extinguished the ghost fire and lit the charcoal again to make an open flame. It's just that this time he is no longer in a hurry to light it all at once, but lights the charcoal piece by piece, and at the same time, the ghost fire in his hand is constantly being sent into the stove, and there are words in his mouth. This time, although the unpleasant "sizzle" sound was occasional, it was not as obvious as it was just now.
In this way, the two flames, one red and one green, did not fight to the death like the previous two times, but began to entangle together and gradually merge.
No! It's not accurate enough to say fusion. Yin and Yang are two extremes, and it is impossible to fuse them at all, but to restrain and complement each other!
In the end, the two flames, which were originally completely different, finally formed a stable form, forming a two-color flame of red and green!
"See? If yin and yang are not reconciled, they will absolutely restrain each other, either you die or I die. Master concluded, "But the yang chapter of the Liangyi Mind Method is to go off the rails, that is, to let the two come together, and the yin and yang are orderly and burn alternately. Yin meals can only be fried with this kind of two-ritual fire, there is no other way! ”
