Chapter 386: Yarrow
The thunder is hidden, and the fire dissipates. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It means that the first move of the pre-determined momentum will be in vain.
Yu Xiejia was not anxious, nor surprised, because he knew very well how strong Liu Chengfeng's strength was, especially after the latter entered the realm of enlightenment, if he injured Liu Chengfeng with just one move, then the strongest person of the Eight Great Demon Sects was really a little unworthy of the name.
After taking a deep breath, Yu Xiejia once again puffed up his momentum, threw away the thunder and fire, and the spiritual power was invoked as he wished, through the meridians around his body, and finally the acquired gossip appeared between his palms.
There are four elephants above the gossip.
There are two instruments above the four elephants.
There is Tai Chi above the two instruments.
There is too easy above Tai Chi.
The one who is too easy is the root of heaven and earth, and the avenue is on it.
The avenue is above the Taiji but not high, below the six poles but not deep, congenital but not long, longer than the ancient but not old.
Yu Xiejia turned his hands into a great avenue, took out a yarrow from the spirit ring, used it as a dividing line, and cut the yin and yang.
Therefore, Yin and Yang Taiji fly, and yarrow floats like a flat boat.
And this is the starting style of Yu Xiejia's self-created Yin and Yang Theory of Taoism.
Liu Chengfeng's body suddenly sat up straight, his eyes fixed on the yarrow that divided the yin and yang, and the look of surprise was still better than before.
Among the flowers and plants, the woman's favorite is neither the peonies, which are famous for their beauty, nor the daffodils, which are known for their elegance, but the yarrow, which has the nickname of "flying centipede".
Centipedes are highly poisonous things, and it is difficult to associate them with beautiful things.
So when Liu Chengfeng knew about her preference, he was surprised for a long time.
But because of his love for the house and Wu, he still chose to learn more about yarrow.
From the careful observation at the beginning, he later planted it with his own hands, and in the passing years, he couldn't remember more and more people and things, but he became more and more aware of the habits and characteristics of yarrow.
Perennial herb, rhizome short, erect, cylindrical, branched in the upper part, about 1 foot 5 to 4 feet long, dark gray-green to light brown-green surface, broken white soft hairs, with longitudinal ridges. The leaves are alternate, sessile, the lower leaves wither during the flowering period, the middle leaves are rounded, two to three inches long, about half an inch wide, the leaves are mostly broken, the complete ones are flattened and lanceolate, pinnate and deeply lobed, one to three inches long, about half an inch wide, dark green, and both sides are soft [hairy].
The lower part is larger, lanceolate, with a few teeth, and the upper part is shorter, nearly toothless or single-toothed, with a small white cartilaginous tip at the end, green above the leaf, sparsely hairy, and the opposite below, extremely dense, with a small leaf axis, unfathomable to the naked eye, and a single tooth between the whole margin or the upper lobes.
The inflorescences are mostly capitate, such as umbel-shaped, the total bracts are broadly bell-shaped or hemispherical, less than half an inch in diameter, the total bracts are three-layered, tiled-arranged, the outer layer is short, ovate-lanceolate, the apex is slightly pointed, the middle layer is ovate-elliptic, the inner layer is oblong-elliptic, the apex is obtuse or rounded, with brown membranous margins, the middle green, the middle rib is convex, the bracket is lanceolate, and the scapular-shaped.
There are more than six marginal flowers, the tongue is white, occasionally with a pale pink edge, the tube is nearly equal to the tongue, the wings are flattened, with a few glandular points, the tubular flowers are pale yellow or white, the achenes are rounded and wedge-shaped, and have wings.
Yarrow has a pungent taste, slightly bitter, mild in nature, and is toxic, but it is often used by doctors.
Most of the processing methods are washed with water, impurities removed, slightly moistened, cut into sections, dried, sieved to remove ash, and then stored in a dry container, placed in a cool and dry place to prevent moisture.
Yarrow can be used as medicine, which can dispel wind and relieve pain, invigorate blood and detoxify, blood stasis and amenorrhea, abdominal lumps, bruises, poisonous snake bites, carbuncle swelling and sores.
In addition, it also has the effect of benefiting qi and brightening the eyes, moisturizing the skin, making the mind flexible, light and healthy, and prolonging life.
But she is not a healer.
Liu Chengfeng is even more not.
It was only for her sake that he took the time to learn about yarrow and familiarize himself with their habits, so that he could have more conversations with her.
Before he met her, yarrow was no different from ordinary flowers and plants in his eyes, just a pastime when he had nothing to do.
Since it is a pastime, there will always be times when you get tired of watching it and have no fun of playing.
But he could always see the woman squatting in front of the yarrow bushes, not moving a step for most of the day.
Just as she didn't understand why he didn't want to let go of the Demon Gate and retreat to the mountains and forests with her, he didn't understand her hobby.
Even if you are a monk who has cultivated in your body, you will not feel sour and numb after squatting for a long time, but if you observe the yarrow for decades and take care of them tirelessly, you will feel sincerely bored and bored.
But he could always see her smiling stupidly in front of Yarrow, like a child.
Finally, when he was free, he put down the affairs of the Heavenly Demon Gate, walked to the courtyard, and talked to her about family affairs and some heartfelt matters, and she never told him the real reason why he loved yarrow.
He had tried to find answers on his own.
However, until she left him and her two children, he never found an answer.
By the time he finally realized something, she had gone away, and the person who used to squat in front of the yarrow bushes was replaced by him.
When the flowers will wither and the grass will wither, he will water it.
When the branches and leaves are scattered, and the garden is full of fragrance, it is he who weeps.
Liu Chengfeng is eloquent, he can see the macro situation very thoroughly, but he may not be able to dabble in those subtleties, even after a deep understanding of the habits of yarrow, he personally planted ten yarrow, only one survived, and the remaining nine have long been buried in the soil of the years, only that one has accompanied him until now, as slim as a cover.
How can a grass grow to the height of a tree?
He didn't know.
In fact, he did not use any special cultivation methods for this only surviving lucky yarrow, nor did he use cultivation to pull out the seedlings to help it grow, but often pinned his thoughts on her body, looking forward to it day and night, guarding it until now.
It was probably because he missed her too much that this yarrow had endured too many things that it shouldn't bear, so it had grown to such an amazing point.
In the days without her, being in the courtyard with the yarrow as a companion and telling those unknown heartfelt things is one of the few pleasures of Liu Chengfeng.
Occasionally, when it is windy and rainy, he will still go.
The stems and leaves of that yarrow plant are no less than the dense trunks of a tree, which are enough to shelter from the wind and rain.
But on a rainy night, Liu Chengfeng's clothes will still have traces of being soaked.
I can't tell if it's rain or tears.
It's like he can't tell whether he's right or wrong.
At this moment, the yarrow was still in the backyard of the Heavenly Demon Gate headquarters.
The smell emanating from its stems and leaves is full of fragrance, but those who smell it will not feel satisfied and happy, because it has merged with the deepest sorrow in Liu Chengfeng's heart.
The yarrow in Yu Xiejia's hand has only two leaves, which is obviously incomplete and incomplete, and it is completely incomparable with the yarrow planted by Liu Chengfeng himself.
But the meaning of the two is also different.
The yarrow planted by Liu Chengfeng is his companion and his old friend, but the yarrow in Yu Xiejia's hand is imitated by the ancient system and used for divination and deduction.
Yarrow birthplace, Yu Yin withered and died a thousand years old, a hundred years old Fang gave birth to forty-nine stems, enough to bear the number of heaven and earth, five hundred years old shape gradually dry and solid, seven hundred years old without branches and leaves, nine hundred years old purple as iron, a thousand years old on the purple gas, under the spirit dragon turtle crouching below.
This is a record of yarrow in ancient mythology.
Although the legend is not necessarily true, it has undoubtedly covered the yarrow with a mysterious coat in the process of widespread circulation, so that many people believe that this grass is not born in the land of saints, and contains the breath of sanctity, so over time, people living in ancient times gradually abandoned the calculation tools such as grains and branches, and switched to yarrow.
Using yarrow to divide yin and yang and balance Tai Chi is just one of its many deduction methods.
Although the yarrow in Yu Xiejia's hand is incomplete, the divine qi contained in it is extremely powerful, so that when the Yin and Yang Dao Sutra has just been cast to the starting style, the surging aura around Yu Xiejia's body has begun to surge, rushing towards the layer of enlightenment barrier above the consummation of the Dao realm!
At the same moment, Liu Chengfeng's eyes had changed from surprise to admiration.
Although he was not sure whether Yu Xiejia would be able to reach the realm of enlightenment in a short period of time with this method, with this bold and risky decisive move alone, Yu Xiejia's wisdom and courage were already worthy of his respect.
It's just that this respect was quickly diluted a lot.
"It's the same yarrow, so you're not interested in dissecting whether there is a connection between this seat and that woman?"
"There are many ways to damage my Dao mind, and perhaps this method is the most direct and effective in your opinion, but in my opinion, it is the most stupid. ”
"But at least now your state of mind is no longer calm. ”
"The moment the real storm rises, you will die. Do you really want to try?"
"Who has not died in life since ancient times? Death is not terrible, what is terrible is that death is worthless and meaningless, this seat knows that you Liu Chengfeng has never been willing to do meaningless things, how can I not be like this? With yarrow to pluck the hexagram, I have already seen that this moment will never be my Yu Xiejia's fate, after three moves, I am still me, but you may not be you, I can continue to call myself this seat, but you may not be able to continue to be Liu Chengfeng. ”
"Hahahaha!"
"What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at you Yu Xiejia thinks he understands heaven and fate, but he doesn't know that hexagram is just a kind of foreshadowing based on common sense, not absolute. If I, Liu Chengfeng, really have the intention to kill you today, no one in heaven or on earth can save you!"
"You're really ashamed!"
"Thou art not dead and fearless. ”
......
Rumble!
That yarrow suddenly rose into the sky, yin and yang instantly unbalanced, Tai Chi collapsed, Yu Xiejia Yin and Yang on the Tao Sutra urged, but it was reversed to the positive, reshaping Tai Chi, the left of Tai Chi is too easy, the right of Tai Chi is reborn too beginning, the three become yin and yang fish-shaped rings hugging each other, yin and yang, rigidity and softness, odd coupling, everything, the principle of heaven and earth, the way of the universe!
The Yin Yang Taiji Fish shuttled and swam, it was actually a broken void, and in a breath rushed to the door of Liu Chengfeng, opening his mouth, as if to swallow him in one gulp.
Liu Chengfeng was fearless, and his two fingers were pointed out together, painting in the air again!
