Chapter 33 Fang Xian Dan Technique Refining Secret Medicine
"Dao Chief, you rest for a while, Xiao Si'er, go and make tea for Dao Chief, get some fruits and glutinous peanuts, and I'll go ask someone to help." ”
The eldest brother of the Yu family said, beckoned the children next to him to make tea, and went to the village to invite someone.
The fourth child is about ten years old, the children in the countryside, a little shy when they see strangers, they hear their father's instructions, and hurry to make tea, and the other two children, about six or seven years old, are the children of the third brother of the Yu family.
The Universiade Dynasty is a state of etiquette, the folk customs are simple, hospitable and courteous, and the life of the ancients is very simple, the fruits are the fruit trees in front of their own houses, this glutinous peanut is also a very rare snack, usually to take out the New Year's festival to make a plate, or rare guests come, take it to eat tea and wine.
Zhang Xian was in the Guogong Mansion, tired of glory and wealth, but he was not greedy, and distributed the fruits and peanuts to a few children, the children were happy for a while, he drank tea, and was quite leisurely.
After a cup of tea, the eldest brother of the Yu family invited someone to come back, and this trip to invite people, the news also spread in the village, I heard that there was a master who traveled and practiced, and a bowl of runic water immediately let the Yu family San'er eat, and also made the Dan furnace to refine the immortal medicine, and gave the Yu family San'er skin and meat to treat poisonous sores, which made the people in the village curious, and many people came to join in the fun.
They knew that the third son of the Yu family had serious sores and was about to become lame, and they didn't know if this master could be cured.
After a while, the atmosphere in the courtyard was a commotion.
The eldest brother of the Yu family led people to be busy, picked up the wet soil in the field, brought some stones, and was busy building a grass shed.
Zhang Xian put down the tea and went out, everyone looked at him as if they were strange, thinking to themselves, this young Taoist is a master!
"Hehe......"
Zhang Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly, being looked at like this by everyone, he was really a little unaccustomed, so he had to hold the seal in his hand, made a salute, and then didn't say much, and began to work, lifting stones and soil, and molding into an earthen stove.
There is a big pot on the stove, a wooden barrel steamer is set in the pot, and the steamer is covered with a pot, so that the eldest brother of the Yu family cut some small bamboo, pierce the bamboo with a wooden stick, make a bamboo pipe, open a hole in the pot lid, put a pipe on the shelf, and then a wooden barrel next to it, the barrel is filled with water, and the pipe passes through the water, and a simple distillation furnace is ready.
Fangshu Danshu is mainly divided into two categories, one is alchemy, and the other is alchemy, and these two kinds of refining require the use of refining essence.
Distillation is a commonly used refining method, the Taoist book says, the gods of the world are insoluble in fire, the essence of the world is insoluble in water, through fire steaming, the essence rises, cools through water, condenses into liquid, and dissolves in water, this is the essence.
He is the essence of refining wine, which is also called alcohol, and alcohol has the effect of debridement and disinfection.
The wine drunk by the ancients was sweet and sweet, and the wine was mellow, but the wine was not strong enough, and it needed to be refined.
After finishing the stove and setting up the grass shed, it was already evening, and the third brother of the Yu family also came back from buying wine.
And in the evening, the people of the village came home from their work on the mountain, and when they heard about the incident, they also rushed to join in the fun, and the courtyard was crowded with people, all of whom looked at the stove curiously.
Although everyone can't understand what the principle of this stove is, this pipe connection has a strange shape, giving people a sense of mystery.
It is indeed the case, this set of alchemy, as well as the various changes in alchemy, make people look very strange at a glance, but these things, even if they are masters of the Tao who practice people, if they don't understand alchemy, they can't understand the doorway.
After finishing work, it was already night, and I heard that the furnace would be opened tomorrow to refine the immortal medicine, so everyone dispersed for the time being, and came to see the excitement tomorrow.
Yu's daughter-in-law made dinner, and all the good wine and food were put on the table.
Zhang Xian didn't say much, the gentleman was silent, and he devoured food and drink for a while, which made everyone in the Yu family dumbfounded, it was indeed a top four, what he said was true, and not only could he eat, but also drink, and he drank like drinking water, and after eating so much, his face was not red or panting, and his stomach was not propped up.
After dinner, the three sons of the Yu family also drank some chicken soup and ate some vegetables, meat and rice, Zhang Xian recited the requiem mantra several times, and completely fell into a deep sleep, and the Yu family saw this, and was even more in awe of Zhang Xian, and the three children couldn't sleep for several nights, but as soon as the master recited the mantra, he immediately fell asleep.
The Yu family prepared a guest room for Zhang Xian, but Zhang Xian didn't want to bother too much, so he only said that he had to practice at night, and he could live in a firewood room, so that he could shelter from the wind and rain.
The ancients did not have much entertainment, the sun rose and the sun set, and they all fell asleep after nightfall, Zhang Xian was not in a hurry to sleep, but meditated and meditated on his own practice.
He is now traveling all over the world, wandering the rivers and lakes, sleeping in the open air, eating and eating chaotic, which is not good for cultivation, because the twelve canonical operations of the human body, each hour should have a corresponding work and rest, every day is regular, running for a week, perseverance, step by step, in order to achieve the avenue.
He comprehended the first layer of the Nine Reincarnations of Life and Death Transformation Dragon Technique, and he deeply understood the truth, according to the law, he should not eat at noon, and have few desires, so that he can calm his mind and enter a state of deep sleep.
But he was hungry during the day, ate and drank a lot at night, and relied on the Xuantong secret to enter the state, which was not good.
"From tomorrow, eat well in the morning, eat well in the afternoon, do not eat at noon, have a regular work and rest every day, rather rush a little slower, can not mess up the work and rest, if there is no place to eat in a hurry, just drink water, it will be a valley. ”
He already had a plan in his heart, anyway, he was not in a hurry to go, and the method of Bigu, he saw that it was recorded in his father's Taoist book, and Bigu was divided into mortals and immortals.
Mortals are hungry for a day every six or seven days, only drink water, eat a little porridge, help the new era, eliminate the dirt in the body, this is the truth of medical skills, can prolong life, maintain health.
As for the immortals who open the valley, take the elixir, drink the elixir, do not eat grains, and do not touch the fireworks of the world, but this immortal technique is too mysterious and void to be understood by mortals.
He can eat and be hungry now, and a little bit of grain is also good for his health and beneficial to his cultivation.
In the dead of night, he lay down to sleep, visualized the image of Ruilong, entered the realm of the living dead, the breath was quiet, yin and yang crossed the boundary, as if death was not death, as if life was not alive.
The next day, when the sun was still below the horizon and the sky was hazy, he woke up with a sense of the day, full of vitality and vitality.
He jumped up, stretched his waist, his muscles and bones were crisp, his breath was breathing, his qi and blood were stretching, and he only felt that his cultivation had improved again, his physical strength had increased, his spirit and spirit were getting stronger and stronger, and he had gone up a step every week.
And he found that his five senses were becoming more and more clear, listening to the chirping of the early birds in the woods in front of the house, he could actually distinguish each bird, and his vision became more and more keen, only now it was hazy and bright, and he could see it clearly.
He rolled up the mat and quilt, pushed open the door of the firewood room, and before the Yu family got up, he went outside for morning exercises.
Ran up the small slope behind the house, practiced boxing, even swords, practiced knives, practiced strength, and was full of vitality and vitality, more and more energetic.
Breathe and breathe, breathe luck, put on a horse step posture, relax your arms, fold your hands in front of your chest, meditate on Ruilong, close your eyes, enter the realm of the living dead, stretch your whole body, empty your spiritual thoughts, and breathe as calm as a dead person.
Immediately, the mind is born from the heart, the spirit comes out of the soul, extremely quiet and vivid, from yin to yang, open the eyes, as if alive in an instant, the eyes are glared, suddenly take a deep breath, the lungs are broad, the qi in the body erupts, the kidneys of the acupuncture points of the waist are trembling, the heartbeat is accelerating, the heart pulse is plucking, the blood is high, the skin pores are stretched, and the color is ruddy, and the muscles are vigorous, the muscles are bulging, the temples are beating, and the hair is erect, like an angry dragon beast.
This is the inner cultivation he comprehended, which is extremely quiet and vivid, following the law of yin and yang of the human body, and inducing power from the deep inside of the body and soul.
"The Taoist book says, Yin and Yang are mutually reinforcing each other, and if the pole Tailai comes, the yin and yang change, the pole Yin turns to Yang, and the pole Yang turns to Yin, it is for Tai Chi also, Tai Chi says, Wuji gives birth to Taiji, and Tai Chi returns to Wuji, which is the truth. ”
The realm of infinity corresponds to the state of cultivation, that is, he is extremely quiet and empty, closing his eyes, emptying everything, and his mind and thoughts are empty, just like the realm of the living dead that he cultivates.
In his father's Taoist book, there is a detailed description of the relationship between yin and yang, all things are within yin and yang, including the art of the living dead, which is also the mystery of yin and yang in the human body, as well as the entire practice of Fang Xian, with the Taiji diagram as the symbol of the Tao, representing the Great Dao.
"Hehe, this set of internal cultivation that I have realized is not yet perfect, and it still needs to be coordinated with boxing, and in the future, this boxing technique will be called Taijiquan. ”
He smiled to himself, and saw the smoke curling under the hillside, it was the villagers who got up to cook breakfast, he hurried downhill, and waited for the meal to start later, if the Yu family could not find him, it would be rude.
Sure enough, back in the courtyard of the Yu family, the Yu family was looking for him everywhere, if they didn't see that his back basket was still there, they were afraid that they would have thought that he had gone away.
He checked the condition of the three sons of the Yu family, rested for the night, recovered his spirits, and was even able to walk on his own, the Yu family was very happy, this young Taoist was really a living immortal, and he was convinced that he would be able to cure the poisonous sores.
Just after breakfast, the villagers who watched the excitement outside the courtyard came, and the matter of refining medicine had been spread in the village, and they looked curiously around the stove, just waiting for the master to come and start work.
Zhang Xian smiled bitterly, this scene was more lively than a monkey show, and he had to start work.
In fact, refining alcohol is very simple, light a firewood in the stove, pour the wine into the pot, put on the steamer and the lid, block the gap with mud to prevent the wine from leaking, and then use a pipe to draw the steam out, cool it in a bucket, and liquefy the wine.
However, there is an essential way to refine alcohol, the wine cannot be boiled, it can only be burned to seven to eight layers of heat, keep warm with a simmer, and slowly refine it, so that the alcohol rises out and the water vapor is retained in the pot.
