Chapter Eighty-Nine: Settle Again

Incense, feeling ghosts and gods, pure mind and body, more but not tired, few but content, long-hidden immortal, commonly used without obstacles.

The single product production method is pure and unclear, and in recent years there has been a trend of being replaced by Hexiang.

Hexiang has many auxiliary medicinal materials, according to the five luck and six qi, the five elements of Shengke, the heavenly stem and the earthly branch and even the order of the monarch and the prince and the prince, the production process of Chen Bu.

The mountain gate is mostly used as a medicinal purpose, such as the shallow water of Shen Tan, which is the sixteen spices and medicinal materials such as sandalwood musk, which are made according to the principle of Yin Jun Si Huo and Yang Ming dry gold.

This is not the most, some of the incense will add fish oil, jujube and apricot to it, and finally the total number of flavors can reach 80.

In my memory, the most complicated incense I heard from the old Taoist priest was a difficult thing to even do just to raise condiments.

What's more, the incense needs to be made and the time of the day, the hexagram of the stick, especially the tribute incense of the Taoist gods, pour painstaking efforts, ten days and a half months to make a pillar are idle, if the luck is not good to meet the time of day, solar terms, etc.

Chen Yu naturally didn't ask for trouble, he just needed to make the weed grass into incense pillars, and as for the condiment matching, he looked at the bottles and cans in his hand.

There are not many spices in the view, and as for the herbs that nourish the spirits and maintain health, they are even rarer. The only thing that can be next to it is the codonopsis in the crockpot next to the wall.

First, Codonopsis is not suitable for mixing into the incense, and when it is lit, it is only burnt, but there is no fragrance. The second is that Codonopsis is still young, and it has only grown for a few months, and even if it is nourished and matured by spiritual fluid, it is far from maturity.

As a last resort, he went to the mountains to pick some, all of which are common, barely able to enter medicine, those with a quiet taste, and those with fragrance, and there are not many to find, so when all of them are ground and thrown in.

The main ingredient is still the powder of the weed fruit.

Ready, he began to concoct.

Compared with Hexiang, the production of a single product is slightly simpler. Even if these ordinary herbs in his hand are only used to enhance the flavor, and the technique is not too demanding, it is still a little difficult for him as a newcomer to get started at the beginning.

So I plan to try it out with a single item first and gain experience. However, if you want to have mental strength, it should not be difficult for the finished product, but how good the quality is, Chen Yu is not that confident.

There are many ways to make incense, and there are many that have left an impression in his mind after hearing about it.

Repairing, steaming, boiling, stir-frying, broiling, cannoning, baking, flying, etc.

The conditions in the view are limited, and what I have done this time is one of them.

He took out the fruit wine he had bought earlier, put it on the table, rolled up his cuffs, and half-squatted on the ground. The broiling method generally requires the use of liquid accessories to stir-fry, and pour a little later, the aroma will be more mellow and pleasant.

In addition to alcohol, you can also add pear juice and honey.

The single product only needs to be dried and condensed, and only the heat is a little challenging to grasp, but this is not a big problem for Chen Yu.

Lay the ashes of the plants, light the fire, and place them under the ding.

When the top side of Fang Ding conveyed the heat, he poured a grain of amber-colored powder into it.

Pinching the ring handles on both sides, sometimes swaying from side to side, it looks like a kitchen spoon.

This moment reminded him of his experience when he was refining Sandan, and the two were somewhat similar.

The smoke swirls in the Taoist temple, fluttering to the sky, lingering, and enduring for a long time.

Boom!

After adding the fruit wine, it was dozens of bumps, and finally waited until the wine combined with the spice powder to form a semi-dry paste, and then stopped.

When the lid of the urn is removed, a rich aroma gushes out, pouring out the mixture and forming a pie ball.

Poke a small sip on the fragrant cake, then put it back, add a little fruit wine, and steam slowly for half an hour. Take half a bunch of hay and light it, smoke it in the four holes outside the ding, Chen Yu Yun Qi blows, and gently let the smoke drift into the ding.

The spirit probed into it, and it was seen that these smoke were swirling non-stop, and under the edification, the incense cake that had become a paste was even more profound.

Then it floated out leisurely from the top of the chopper, merging into the vast sky and dissipating.

Another quarter of an hour passed, Chen Yu estimated the time, took out the firewood under the ding, and poured it out with cold water.

According to the records in the book, this section should be kneaded and shaped with charcoal, but Chen Yu is not necessary, he operates the art of imperial objects, and the invisible and qualitative Qi is poured into the ding, constantly kneading, and changing the shape under the shroud of the spirit.

Throwing a bamboo skewer from the mouth of the ding, Qi drove it into the balm, kneaded it again, and gradually slender.

After setting the shape, it was taken out and set aside, and he poured it into the well water to wash it away to wash away the excess residue and smell. Since there is no extra medicine pod to remake incense, it can only be settled.

Fortunately, Qi can penetrate everywhere, and under the guidance of spiritual power, some subtle corners are cleaned up, and the hot aroma suddenly dissipates, which is a lot more refreshing.

The next step is to make the incense, the process does not need to be repeated, in one of them as he expected, the finished product was taken out smoothly, made of weed grass fruit, supplemented by smoking, burning, baking and other methods, the color is deep with a hint of yellow, as if wrapped in a layer of aged amber, attached to the incense clothes dotted everywhere, like sprinkling spars on the beach.

"The appearance is not bad, I don't know how it works."

There is no need to expose the dried incense pillar to the sun, it is easy to become crispy when it is put in the sun just after it is baked, and the incense making is basically over at this step. The next step is to verify what he thinks, to see if he can soften the effect of the weeds after working so hard for a long time.

There are four pillars of single product, each column is about six inches, and some of the incense pillars used in the Taoist temple will have one foot two, and the incense candles under different circumstances have different customizations, but these are only used by themselves, but there is no need to follow these regulations, the length and thickness are as he likes.

He put on the container that he had prepared in front of him, and stood in it.

Cha!

The fire fold flickered with red light, and a wisp of green whiskers floated faintly from the incense pillar between the flickering and flickering.

Taking a light breath, Chen Yu's eyes lit up.

The breath entered the mouth and nose, as if there was a mouthful of mountain spring water in the dog days, and the slightest brightness and refreshment diffused a little sweetness.

It was as if the shackles had been removed from his head, and his spirit gradually became active, but it was not as fierce and violent as before, but extremely gentle.

Unconsciously, he concentrated on his thoughts, allowing his consciousness to flourish freely, while his mind slowly became quiet and fell into an empty silence.

It seems to be moving and static, not moving and not static.

Whew-

At one point, the wind sounded in his ears, and he opened his eyes.

The vision is foggy and dark, and the familiar ocean is beneath your feet, but it is extraordinarily calm, without the usual turbulent waves.

Looking ahead, sure enough, a huge and shining crystalline white net was exposed from the water, and it was clustered in a corner.

Those dots of spiritual light particles adhered to it, as if holding up a galaxy, dazzling and majestic.

He stepped forward, reaching out with an illusory hand to touch.

However, it seems that he has not touched anything, and it is clear that the huge net is in front of him, but there is nothing in his hands.
