Chapter 82: The Five Elements of Yin and Yang
Ji Liangchen, who was guarding the door on the second floor, saw Miaofu coming over and turned his head awkwardly. Miao Fu was so preoccupied with the contents of Danlu that she didn't notice him, but when the little girl raised her eyes, she happened to meet his dodging eyes.
Miao Fu wondered for a while, he began to be very enthusiastic about himself, how could he have such an expression at this time? Is there something he's hiding? Hehe, I'll find out when I'm free.
As everyone knows, after Miaofu learned about the situation, she started the era of the little overlord at the age of seniors and young people. From time to time, she tricked Ji Liangchen, Ji Mingyao, and Ji Mingyuan into crying and laughing, and she also repaired them obediently. However, this is all an afterthought, so I will not repeat it here.
At this time, Miao Fu didn't think much about it, and walked upstairs briskly.
On the third floor of the attic, Lao Ji had just finished refining an elixir. He took a deep breath and saw Miaofu walking up.
Lao Ji said with a smile: "Apprentice, are you tired?" How many have you watched? He thought that it would be very good for a twelve or thirteen-year-old child to finish reading the first two pages of "Taibai Xuanwu Danlu", and he didn't expect her to remember those boring contents.
Miao Fu stretched her arms and said happily, "Master, it's really tiring to read this kind of book, but I finally finished it." ”
Lao Ji was stunned, swallowed his saliva stiffly, and said in surprise: "You gnaw...... Finished reading? How much did you remember? ”
Miao Fu saw the master's funny appearance, thinking that he was looking for his own happiness again, so he said mischievously, "Guess." ”
Lao Ji shook his head and pouted: "Although you have watched it carefully, it is also very good." If you want to remember those contents, take your time in the future, and don't think about eating a fat doll in one bite. ”
Miaofu said unconvinced: "Master, you look down on people too much, I have watched them twice, and I have watched them very carefully." ”
"What?! ......" Lao Ji opened his mouth wide and felt incredible.
Miao Fu giggled and said lightly, "How much do you want to remember?" Master, I'll recite it to you. After speaking, he handed over the Danlu in his hand.
Lao Ji is already messy, not to mention two or three hours, even two or three days, few people can remember the content of the thick Danlu. He said incredulously, "Good boy...... You look back at it. ”
At this time, Miaofu's little head was tilted upward, a pair of small hands were behind her back, and she began to recite "Taibai Xuanwu Danlu" like a little old master: "The veins of Qinling Valley are too white, and the basalt Yanyan rock is near the tiger's den. The king of medicine lived in seclusion in Dandou, and Tangyu recuperated and prolonged his life......"
Lao Ji puffed out a pair of eyes, listened carefully, and pointed to look. More than an hour later, his little apprentice actually memorized the entire "Taibai Xuanwu Danlu" word for word!
Lao Ji was so shocked that he opened his mouth and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
After a while, he finally came to his senses, dropped Danlu, rushed to Miaofu quickly, picked her up, and walked around the attic happily several times, laughing and saying, "Good boy, you are really my little prodigy!" ”
Then, he put down Miaofu, turned around and ran back, picked up the Danlu on the ground, carefully patted the dust on it, and said distressedly: "Oh, I lost all my treasures." Unbelievable, unbelievable! ”
Miao Fu was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut when she saw the master jumping up and down like crazy.
At this time, Lao Ji looked up at the clear sky outside the attic canopy window, and felt that it was still early, so he said to Miaofu: "Apprentice, you sit down, I will tell you about alchemy now." ”
Miao Fu happily walked over to the sky blue futon and sat down with a butt.
Lao Ji walked to the corner of the attic, opened the lid of an iron cabinet, grabbed a few red and yellow stones the size of duck eggs, covered the cabinet again, and walked over slowly.
He threw two stones to the small Dan furnace in front of Miao Fu, and then put the remaining three stones at the bottom of his Dan furnace, and said, "Disciple, this kind of stone is called the Fire Flame Stone, and it will be used to ignite the fire in alchemy. ”
"Flame stones, though not rare, are still valuable and not easy to find. These two boxes of stones are specially supplied by the African Department of the Ministry of Commerce, and they are both collected in mining areas in Africa. ”
"There are also a small number of ignitite mines in our country, mainly concentrated in volcanoes and jade mountains. In these two mountainous areas, there are military garrisons where the flaming stones are discovered. This thing has a lot of military uses, so the military's logistics department has some remains. ”
Seeing that Miaofu listened carefully, Lao Ji's teaching addiction came to an end. He said: "Disciple, according to the ancestors, this world is a unity of mutual opposition and mutual connection, which belongs to the content of the law of yin and yang. ”
"All things in the world are composed of the five basic substances of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which are the contents of the law of the five elements. Moreover, thousands of substances develop, evolve, decay, and destroy in the mutual growth and restraint of these five elements. ”
Miao Fu seemed to hear some fame, and asked curiously: "Master, does this Yin and Yang Five Elements have anything to do with alchemy?" ”
Lao Ji nodded happily and said, "You're smart, you asked well." The five elements of yin and yang are not only closely related to alchemy, but also pervade the whole world, whether it is tangible things or intangible academic theories, including folk divination and fortune telling, as well as our oriental medicine and calendar, etc., all of which are deeply related to the five elements of yin and yang. ”
He took a sip of tea and said: "The yin and yang and the five elements that the ancestors said complement each other, the five elements must be combined with yin and yang, and yin and yang must be combined with the five elements, and the great law of yin and yang is embodied by the five small laws, and then the laws of time, space, etc., collectively known as the laws of the world." ”
"Legend has it that the strongest warrior can use a certain law to change people and things, and even use the power of the law to fight against the enemy and even influence the world. But this world, which can also be said to be nature, is the sum of all things, which can only affect or change relatively, but cannot be fundamentally shaken--- because it is the boss. ”
The more Miao Fu listened, the more she tasted, as if she sensed something, some close in front of her eyes, and more far away in the sky, in the vast universe.
At this time, Lao Ji also seemed to be intoxicated with the five elements of yin and yang, and involuntarily shook his head and said: "Medically speaking, the five elements of yin and yang, the human body is a natural balance and self-repair system with all the eight trigrams and the five elements. ”
"Legend has it that a martial artist can have a certain five element attribute in the process of martial arts cultivation, such as a fire attribute martial artist, with characteristics such as strong aggression and tyrannical temperament."
When he said this, Lao Ji showed a disappointed look. He sighed, "Alas, it's a pity, it's all legends. The broad and profound Five Elements Doctrine became narrower and narrower the more it was used, and it became weaker and weaker. In medicine, it can only be used to diagnose a person's physical ailments now. ”
Lao Ji smiled awkwardly and said, "Disciple, I'm going to say this far." In alchemy, medicinal materials should not only be selected according to the Dan formula, but also consider the factors of the five elements of yin and yang, and extract and refine them in turn according to the characteristics of the herbs that are mutually reinforcing and mutually restrictive. ”
At this time, Lao Ji picked up a plant with purple flowers next to him and said, "This purple shirt flower is a yin wood attribute medicinal material. ”
Then, he picked up a red fruit and said, "This red grapefruit fruit is a yang fire attribute medicinal material, although this yin and yang are mutually restrained, but wood and fire are born together, and there are other medicinal materials that are neutralized and balanced, but they are all right." ”
"Otherwise, if the medicinal materials are used indiscriminately or the order in which the medicinal materials are put into the furnace is wrong, it will not be able to become a pill or form a poison pill. In this way, it will inevitably lead to the terrible consequences of paralysis, dementia and even death of the person who uses Dan. ”
At this time, Miao Fu suddenly remembered what her father had said, and blurted out: "Mutual birth is development, and mutual restraint is coordination." ”
"Huh?" When Lao Ji heard her say this, he praised her and said, "Haha, good boy, well said!" That's the reason. ”
"If only symbiosis provides the impetus and possibility for development, and there is no mutual restraint to ensure the control and coordination of the development of things, things will be reversed, and big problems will occur. Mutual development and mutual restraint and coordination, this theory is very suitable for alchemy. ”
Seeing Lao Ji praising herself, Miao Fu asked with a red face, "Master, can you start teaching me alchemy?" Although she likes to listen to Lao Ji talk about the five elements of yin and yang, she can't wait to do alchemy.
"Okay, I'll show you." Lao Ji was in high spirits, and while talking, he got up and walked towards the ash cabinet. Miao Fu smiled and followed him, observing curiously.
