Chapter Eighty-Eight: Making Incense
A fish and a deer went back and forth in the water tank, while Chen Yu stayed in the inner courtyard, picking up a pottery bowl and handing it to his mouth.
After the alienation, the grain was cooked by him a little, and there was no problem on Brother Ji's side for the time being, so he didn't wait any longer. Each of the four crops has its own characteristics, with different morphological sizes except for the slime marks in the center.
Among them, the autumn knife wheat is the most unique.
It has not been ground and a few grains have been cooked directly, which is so big that it can be used as a hidden weapon to make the wheat grains are soft in the bowl at the moment, and after a pass of boiling water, it was soaked in it for half an hour before it was fully ripe.
Picking up one and feeding it to his mouth, Chen Yu spread out the booklet for recording next to his hand, while concentrating on perception, tasting the taste while looking for something special to the body.
Chew and swallow and slide into the stomach.
Since watching the thunder the day before yesterday, I seemed to have realized that there had been a change in the mud pill palace, and the two spiritual vortices were fused together, and there was more silver. After many attempts, it was confirmed that the effect of the small and delicate vortex on the refining of spiritual power has been improved.
Whether it is the newly generated spiritual power or those that have been refined day after day to the point that it is almost impossible to grow, and can only be increased by aura.
Even with it, the Mud Pill Palace has a part vacant.
After the mental power is strong, the inner view is more relaxed, Chen Yu controls the spirit and reflects the whole body, and his attention is mainly focused on the spleen and stomach.
On the other hand, as the autumn knife wheat enters the stomach, the gastric juice decomposed by the metamorphosed stomach is enough to decompose some foods that are difficult for ordinary people to digest.
Turned into nutrients.
Autumn knife wheat is no exception, only one grain melts away in an instant, and it can't hit the slightest ripple in the stomach, and it is calm.
"No effect?"
Scanning up and down, he saw the flesh and blood of his body, including every organ, but in the end he frowned and regained his spirit, looked at the rest of the bowl, and without thinking much, took a big bite into his mouth.
After a while, Chen Yu opened his eyes again, and his tightly knit brows were not untied, but even tighter.
It shouldn't be...... The spiritual catalyst was successful, and this was the first time he could not discover and find a specific effect.
Could it be true that except for getting bigger, there is no difference from before? Then he remembered that it could not be said that it was all the same, at least the taste was much better.
Better than nothing.
Staring at a slender wheat grain that was more than ten times more than the rest of the grains, Chen Yu exhaled, and changed his angle, this kind of spiritual plant at least produced a lot of money, he remembered that the same number of seeds were sprinkled, and the autumn knife wheat produced forty or fifty catties, and the rest were only three or five catties, and the difference was obvious.
"In this case, it can be grown as a regular grain."
He thought that if he added the spiritual liquid, a batch of ripening would be enough to eat for a long time. There is no need to worry about food shortages in the mountains. It is okay to leave the half acre of mountain land idle without planting.
Shaking his head, he didn't think much about it for the time being, he was still uncertain how to arrange it in the future, and he would not talk about it again until he completely confirmed that Qiu Daomai had really only grown in size under the catalysis of the spiritual machine.
If you have acres, you should still plant them.
In his mind, the spiritual machine still exists more as an inducing mutation and catalyzing new spiritual plants, and is used in repeated cultivation and harvesting, which is somewhat overkill.
Whoever calls himself really not much spiritual power, this small piece in the medicine field eats a whole grain, if it expands again, it will have to use spiritual liquid to constantly ripen and cultivate repeatedly, then the spiritual energy will definitely not be able to keep up.
In contrast, it is the ichor that makes it smoother on a larger scale, and the two play different roles.
In the hospital, Chen Yu paused for a while, and searched all over his body again, but still couldn't find a change. Then he set his sights on the next one.
He didn't believe all of the four grains.
"This spring millet is still catalyzed by two grains of spiritual energy, if even it is the same as autumn knife wheat......"
In the future, it is necessary to be more cautious in using the spirit to catalyze food.
……
In the afternoon, the breeze blows.
After the rain, the four sides of the world are even cleaner, breathing the fragrance of plants and trees scattered in the air, Chen Yu holds a stone pestle in one hand and two small bags in the other.
Walk to the stone table and put the water-stained stone pestle to dry. At the same time, he untied the pouch and put a wooden board on the table.
Lift the corner of the bag and pour it on the left and right of the board.
Sass~
Amber powder was poured and sprinkled, and two small piles of pointed bags were slowly piled on top.
Under the sun, the powder particles are fine and the color is mellow.
A striking fragrance hooked on the tip of his nose, Chen Yu looked down for a moment, turned around and went to the stove room to take out a wooden barrel, the barrel contained a lot of objects, bottles and cans swaying.
There is also a handful of freshly picked flowers and plants under the waist, as well as two handfuls of hay and a small ding.
The latter was different from the one that made the elixir, with four square legs and a dustpan inserted into the mouth of the pod—similar in appearance to a sieve, but made of bronze. In this life, it is often used by people in the Taoist sect to use utensils that need to warm fire.
Some Dan furnaces are also available, but Yunhe Guan does not promote the Danding theory, so the Dan Ding is actually more used as a place to boil medicinal materials and prescriptions, and some alchemy utensils that only Taoist priests who study the Danding method know and use have not been prepared.
However, today he is not alchemy, but making incense.
Incense has been passed down for a long time, and it has a pivotal position in Taoism in both past and present lives.
In his previous life, Chen Yu had heard that some incense candles were actually made according to the method of alchemy, with a light fragrance and nourishing the body, rather than nourishing the nose.
There is not much difference in this life, and as for the incense pillars that burn together with green skin wax in the view, they are not even considered products.
For example, the incense and candle processes of the big forces such as Zhengyang Guan are complicated all day long, and the materials are also excellent, mixed with herbs and spices, and one is worth dozens of hundreds of taels of silver.
Chen Yu didn't have the kind of background to make high-quality incense according to the method recorded in the classics, and he couldn't make up the condiments alone. However, he is not presumptuous, after all, the materials he uses are not available to others or even seen in his life.
"The powder of the weed is better than being used as a stimulant to stimulate the spirit, and it is better to use it to make incense."
It is rare to boost the spirit, especially when paired with the spiritual vortex, it can better temper the brain domain. But the effect is really violent, and I can't bear it.
So after thinking about it a few times, he remembered the record he had seen in "Qiao Guliang's Records with the Doctor" about diluting the power of the medicine and neutralizing the toxicity.
Weed weed is non-toxic, but it can be used more thoroughly after being diluted. This point is also described in "Xuanjing Baicaolu", not only that, but "Feng Pu Sandan" even mentions a special Sandan called [Huishen Incense].
After looking through a lot, pinching pills may make the medicinal power more concentrated and violent, so he plans to give it a try and prepare weed grass by making incense.
"Two copies, as a contrast."
One was ground and dried before, and the other was recently baked with other herbs.
One is a single product, and the other is a fragrance.
