"Please tell the kitchen to prepare me a coal stove and a copper kettle, as well as two mirrors and a mahogany basin, and send them to the door, I will use them immediately." After instructing the servant, Lin Ping raised his head and squinted at the sun, and walked to an open space with strong sunlight at the door.

Five minutes later, three or two servants were neatly placed in front of Lin Ping with the things that Lin Ping wanted, and the stove was already on fire.

Xu Jie and Zhang Xiaoxi followed out after eating, wanting to see what Lin Ping was going to do.

When they saw these things that the servants had brought out, they all felt very strange with doubts on their faces.

The decoction stove and copper kettle can still be understood, but what can the peach pot and mirror do?

"Uncle Xu, do you know what Lin Ping is going to do?" Zhang Tongxi was puzzled and asked Xu Jie.

Xu Jie also shook his head blankly: "This kid has never played cards according to common sense, I really don't know what he wants to do, but it works." ”

Lin Ping poured the well water from the water bottle into the peach wood basin, brought a stone to cushion underneath, and placed it in a place where the sun was strong to expose to the sun. I don't know where to find two poles, hit the wooden basin left and right, put the mirrors at both ends, and adjust the focus to align the well water in the peach wood.

Then he twisted out a piece of orchid grass from the green wood box, rolled it lightly in his hand, and then put it on the stove to roast it slightly, holding the copper kettle handle, and rolling the copper kettle obliquely on the fire. When the kettle is evenly heated, set the kettle aside.

"Lin Ping, what are you doing with the water in the mirror?" Zhang Xiaoxi looked at Lin Ping's way of decocting medicine strangely, and couldn't help but squat beside Lin Ping curiously and asked.

Lin Ping looked at Zhang Xiaoxi and explained with a slight smile: "Ancient Taoists believed that peach wood could drive away evil spirits, and used peach wood as a material to ward off evil spirits and control ghosts, but in fact, this is a non-existent thing, there are no ghosts in the world, where do you need to exorcise evil spirits?" The so-called evil is yin, and if yin is excessive, it is easy to give rise to evil, and people are prone to weakness and illness. The real role of peach wood is to gather yang, and when yang is prosperous, yin is declining, and they check and balance each other, which is why there is a saying about exorcism. The well water is located underground, although it is a natural water source and there are no impurities, but after all, it belongs to yin, and now you are now in the body, and the yin and yang in the body are prosperous and the yang is declining, and the yin and yang are out of balance, so your body will get worse and worse. I use peach wood to hold water to drain the yin energy, and the sun is the most yang to the strong, with the mirror to focus is to gather the yang, vent the yin and bloom the yang, such water boiled out of the medicine yang is vigorous, conducive to your illness. ”

Zhang Xiaoxi listened to it in a daze.

The doctrine of yin and yang is a classic of ancient Taoism, and it has been recited as a code by countless people, but most people know it and don't know why.

Metaphysics itself is a very magical science, which can only be understood but not spoken, even if it is explained by the Taoist ancestors, I am afraid that it is not clear.

"What time is it?" Lin Ping carefully shook the peach tub and asked.

"It's almost forty." Xu Jie took out the mobile phone in his pocket and asked.

"At noon, wait for three quarters." Lin Ping muttered to himself, "It's time." ”

Lin Ping threw the copper kettle into the peach wood basin, scooped half a pot of water, and threw it on the stove.

The temperature of the well water rose quickly, and the fire was vigorous, and it boiled in less than two minutes on the stove.

Lin Ping slowly tore open an orchid grass in his hand and threw it into the copper furnace, and carefully covered the copper lid.

"Timer for eight minutes, and then take it out after three o'clock in the afternoon." Lin Ping stood up and clapped his hands, and smiled at Xu Jie: "Lao Xu, I'll leave it to you, don't miss the hour." ”

"Lin Ping, is there anything special about drinking medicine?"

Zhang Xiaoxi saw that Lin Ping's entire process of boiling medicine was very different from others, and he seemed very cautious and mysterious, afraid that there were more truths and rules, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Drink medicine?" Lin Ping smiled in surprise: "Just don't choke." ”

Zhang Yunxi smiled "poof", because he thought too much.

Lin Ping walked into the side hall and lay on the sofa to continue to take a nap.

A table of people upstairs was still chatting after eating, Zhang Qingshan remembered the advice of the night to take medicine at twelve o'clock, and finally did not forget it, and quickly trotted down from upstairs.

"Yu Cheng, go and see if Lao Xu is here, hurry up and let the kitchen prepare the decoction."

"Chairman, Mr. Lin Ping was already decocting the medicine just now, I saw that you and Vice Mayor Zhu were chatting happily, so I didn't bother you." Yu Cheng said after Zhang Qingshan.

As soon as Zhang Qingshan's footsteps stopped, he immediately smiled on his face: "Okay, okay, if Lin Ping personally boils the medicine, then I'll rest assured, let's go down and have a look." Listening to Lin Ping's magic, let's also go and see it, and have a long insight. ”

Seeing that Xu Jie and Zhang Yunxi were watching around a copper furnace under the sun, there was also a wooden basin next to it with half a basin of water, and what was even more amazing was that there was a pole on the wooden basin, and two mirrors were placed on both sides of the pole.

Zhang Qingshan and Yu Cheng looked at each other: Isn't Lin Ping boiling medicine? What does this do?

"Xiao Xi, are you boiling medicine?" Zhang Qingshan asked suspiciously.

"Hmm." Zhang Xiaoxi nodded, and excitedly pulled Zhang Qingshan's arm: "I saw Lin Ping's way of boiling medicine just now, it's strange." ”

Seeing that Zhang Qingshan was interested, Zhang Xiaoxi explained the whole process of Lin Ping's decoction in detail.

Zhang Qingshan, who listened to it, kept clapping his hands and praised: "This Mr. Xiaolin is really a strange person, I haven't seen this decoction method in ancient books, but when I heard him say this, there is also a bit of scientific truth, but it is like metaphysics and Taoism, hahahaha." ”

"Lao Zhang, don't boast, let him hear your praise, and charge you more for the consultation." Xu Jie joked.

"Alas, what is the consultation fee, as long as it can cure the illness of the night, he just wants me to give it to him from the Zhang Group." Zhang Qingshan laughed heartily.

Turning around, Lin Ping leaned against the door frame and looked at Zhang Qingshan with a gloomy face.

"Can you be quiet? It's not a good night's sleep. Lin Ping shook his head, a little angry in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just so happy to see that this medicine is almost cured." Zhang Qingshan found a reason to prevaricate in the past, but the one in front of him was his daughter's lifeline, and he didn't dare to offend easily.

Yetian took out a cigarette and threw it in his mouth, walked to the coal stove, and took a rag to open the lid of the copper kettle. All the orchid grass inside has melted, not even a single plant fiber can be seen, a faint fragrance with a little bitterness came out of the copper kettle, turned sideways to let the sunlight shine into the copper kettle and took a look, with a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Lin Ping put the lid on and said to the servant next to him, "Take it down and let it cool naturally, and pour it out at twelve o'clock for Xiao Xi to drink." ”

Zhang Xiaoxi stood beside Yetian and asked, "Is it all drunk?" ”

Lin Ping nodded: "There is not a drop left." Lao Xu, I said that you are reluctant to spend money, and you are not spending your own money, what do you save? ”

"Conscience of heaven and earth." Lao Xu hurriedly shouted: "These five orchid grasses are all of the highest grade, one is ten thousand, each one is no more than half a finger long, and there are no flowers and buds on the head, haven't you also seen it?" ”
