Chapter 118: Brewing Wine, Reading Rice, and Divine Thoughts
Wudang back mountain, Tanuki Xuan.
Tonight is the day when Shangguan Tanuki will make New Year's wine.
Adjacent to the granary, there is a traditional winery built of wooden beams, and thousands of tanuki cats went to the mountains early to collect firewood under the mobilization of the patriarch, and the dry branches of different lengths were piled up in the open space outside the winery.
In the fermentation tank in the room, the sorghum and white thatch, which had been steamed ten days ago, have been perfectly fermented.
Xiaoya happily ran around, adding firewood to the stove with her brothers and sisters of the same clan, and the three large iron pots with a diameter of two meters on the table were cleaned early, and the steamer was placed in the shade.
Now they haven't gotten out of their bodies yet, and they can't move these big guys, so they can only finish what they can first.
The history of Shangguan Tanuki brewing can be traced back to the period of Yuan Renzong.
At that time, the ethnic group had already developed into a small scale, and there were more than 100 enlightened clansmen. During the day, he played in the mountains everywhere, and at night he ran with his clan to the county seat to listen to the readers.
One day, an old man with a rosacea came to the cave, and he stayed here for more than half a year and taught them how to make 'tanuki wine'.
When making wine, the aroma of wine can waft out for several miles, and the hunters on the mountain and the farmers under the mountain often come to the mountains to buy wine and drink.
Gradually, Xu Tong, the magistrate of the county seat, also heard about it, and at night he was out of his body, looking for the fragrance of wine and finding the cave of the Shangguan family.
In the following years, Xu Changtong often came to drink wine, and also taught the cats to read and write, learn allusions, and have a good relationship with them.
......
"And then?"
On the path leading to the elegant house, Xu Li pulled the suitcase and asked.
Zhou Yang withdrew his gaze from the setting sun and said, "Later, there was no more, I heard Tu Lao talk about this." If you are interested, make wine at night and ask the red seal about them. ”
"Are you going to play for a few days this time? Will you go back for the Lantern Festival? Or just spend the festival here and fly to the United States. ”
Xu Li pouted: "Why do you go back one day for the Lantern Festival." I plan to spend a week in Wudang Mountain, and then fly straight to the United States to find my aunt. I've talked to my parents. ”
As he spoke, the two entered the house.
As soon as she entered the suite, Xu Li couldn't wait to take off her thick coat and take a comfortable hot spring bath.
Zhou Yang talked across the wall, sat on the charcoal fire and drank tea while reading the classics of the Ming Dynasty. Changge and Liuli listened very carefully.
When she came out of the bath, it was completely dark.
Xiao Ya's soul was out of her body, and she followed her aunt to inform Zhou Yang that she was going to start brewing.
"Ah, when did Sister Lily come?"
"It's been more than two hours, and I haven't seen each other for more than half a year, Xiaoya seems to have grown taller. Xu Li gestured with her hand to Xiao Ya'er.
Xiao Ya raised her head and said, "Of course, I use my brother's method to cultivate very quickly, and in another two years, I will become as beautiful as my sister." ”
"I'm so ugly, where is it beautiful. I should say that I want to be as beautiful as your aunt. ”
Xu Li smiled very happily, coiling her long hair and talking to Xiaoya and Hongyin about the progress of her cultivation.
In half a year, her 'Breath of the Night' practice has become more and more proficient, and she practices copying and writing scriptures at home every night, and her soul is the same as half a year ago.
Coupled with the daily practice of "Willow Breathing Method" and "Baguazhang", it is like a different person inside and out.
After a few words, Xu Li entered the bedroom and was out of her body.
When her soul came out, the red seal was surprised: "Sister Lily is almost in the exorcism realm." ”
"Really?" Xu Li happily observed herself, looked at them, and looked at Zhou Yang, "Zhou Yang, why don't you go out of your body." Let me see if you're improving. ”
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "I have basically not cultivated the Divine Soul in the past half a year, and it is still the same as before. You've really made a lot of progress. By the way, the red seal, how can it be regarded as entering the 'exorcism realm'. ”
Hongyin said: "The divine soul stirs five buckets of rice, and the divine thoughts gather into 'rice grains', which is the 'exorcism realm'. This is the division of the realm of the divine soul by the Heavenly Master Dao back then, so the Heavenly Master Dao is also called the 'Five Bucket Rice Sect'. ”
"According to the realm newly announced by the state this year, the divine soul can drive 30 kilograms of heavy objects and cultivate into 'divine thoughts', which is considered the 'realm of driving things'. ”
"Then I'm still far away. Xu Li led Xiaoya on the left and the red seal on the right, "I can only move a brick with the strength of my soul now." What do you say is 'rice grain' and 'divine thought'?"
Hongyin looked back at Zhou Yang and replied with a smile: "Divine thoughts are the embodiment of concentrated thoughts, and the initial condensation success is like 'rice grains'." ”
"Divine thoughts contain all the intangible matter of your soul power, thinking, wisdom, etc. ”
"The divine thoughts you condensed for the first time are the 'spiritual seeds' of the divine soul, which are very precious. It's like the spiritual root of the flesh. It can give birth to more divine thoughts, so don't lose them, or you'll have to wait a long time before they can coalesce again. ”
"Even if it is condensed again, it is not as good as before. ”
......
"Uh-huh. ”
Xu Li wrote it down with her heart, and then asked, "How can you cultivate the first 'Divine Mind Spirit Seed'?" Is it possible to plant it in the ground and wait for the harvest like a farmer's uncle?"
"Sister Lily is so smart, that's it. Xiao Ya praised, and Hongyin said: "Each practice method is different, but it is generally similar to what you said." ”
"Take the Heavenly Master's 'Five Buckets of Rice Concept', which is actually the same as farmers growing grain. ”
"After the 'exorcism realm', the first grain of 'Divine Thought Spirit Seed' is planted, and through continuous practice, for a period of time, the spirit seed bears ears of rice, and each grain is a new divine thought. How much to knot, it depends on the individual. ”
"These divine thoughts are different from the first spirit seed, they can be understood as 'mana' or 'dharma grains'. Ancient monks called it 'Nian Mi'. ”
"Nian rice is edible, and it was also used to offer to the gods in ancient times. Ghosts and gods eat rice like a physical meal, which can make the soul stronger and stronger. ”
"When the soul is strong, it will give birth to a second, third, and more 'Divine Mind Spirit Seed'. ”
"If you plant these 'spiritual seeds', you can grow more 'ninmi'. ”
"Like me now, I can produce one bucket of rice a day. My father traveled to the realm at night and could produce one stone of rice a day. And the ghost immortals of the Yin God Realm are said to be able to produce a thousand stone rice in a day!"
"The soul eats more 'nian rice', and the soul will naturally grow stronger and stronger, this is the way of cultivation of the soul after the exorcism realm. ”
"Before the exorcism realm, you can train your soul power through the method you have cultivated. ”
"I see that Sister Lili's soul and eyebrows have condensed her false thoughts, and if she practices for some time, she will inevitably condense her 'divine thoughts' and enter the realm of exorcism. ”
......
The four of them talked side by side, Xu Li was very excited to hear it, and Zhou Yang also heard these things for the first time, and talked with the master and servant of Zhihai.
"So, the divine thoughts that flow out of the Ming Fruit are just empty thoughts?
"Hmm. Zhihai Changge said: "Although it is a false thought, it is also beneficial." When you cultivate to the Exorcism Realm, the void thoughts that run out of the Tongming Fruit can be transformed into the real 'Divine Mind Spirit Seed', and with the condensation of your Divine Soul itself, you will be able to have one more 'Divine Mind Spirit Seed' than other monks at the beginning. ”
"Don't underestimate this one, in the future, you will be able to give birth to four in two, eight in eight, and eight in sixteen, you will be able to at least one-third more 'spirit seeds' than monks of the same realm, and you will harvest more 'Nian rice'. ”
"The Nunmi we knotted is absorbed directly in the divine light, so you can't see it. ”
"I didn't tell you this before, because I was afraid that you would be distracted and provoke the ape, so I couldn't focus on practicing the art of soul change. ”
"Now that you have changed a little and achieved something, I can tell you some spiritual things. ”
"In the Yuanchen Realm, there is a type of monk called 'human rice', and they are used to produce 'nian rice'. ”
"The harvested 'Nian Rice' cannot be eaten by oneself and must be handed over to the sect. The sect records the personal output, returns him to freedom after paying a certain amount, and then gives him a set of magic weapons and methods. ”
"'People grow rice' are usually criminals, monks, or people who are tricked into selling it, and there are also some casual cultivators who are willing to do it in exchange for Dharma weapons and practice the Dharma. In the future, when you travel to the worlds, you must also be careful not to be caught as a coolie. ”
