Chapter 29: Two catties of good tea
Unconsciously a month passed, and it was the day to go down the mountain to buy yin-tonifying drugs, Xiao Yi had to temporarily put away his thoughts, received the token and medicine list as usual, and came down the mountain.
When I went to the pharmacy first, the pharmacy owner took out less than 10% of the medicine, and kept crying that it was not easy. Xiao Yi remained silent and noncommittal, put down the medicine list and went out. Just walked on the street for a while, as expected, he ran into the "eight-character beard" again, and before he could speak, Xiao Yi stretched out his hand and signaled to lead the way.
When he came to the grocery store again, Lin Fan had already made tea and waited. Xiao Yi said with a smile: "Lin Jushi is afraid that I owe you the medicine fee, and he sent someone to guard the street at all times." Lin Fan didn't care, and said with a hearty smile: "The immortal chief said that he was joking, Lin was only afraid that the immortal chief would not want the medicine from the small shop." β
Xiao Yiqi said: "So, Lin Jushi has received precious yin-tonifying medicinal materials again?" Lin Fan invited Xiao Yi to take a seat, and said: "It's not too precious, it's just a medium-sized medicinal material, and I hope that the immortal chief won't dislike it." As he spoke, the "Bazi Whisker" had already delivered a tray with three brocade boxes placed on it. The brocade box was opened, and there was a medicinal herb in it, which was full of yin qi, and it was all high-grade goods, which were several times better than the medicinal herbs purchased from the pharmacy owner just now.
Xiao Yi frowned slightly, then stretched out, and said, "Lin Jushi is so generous, I haven't seen him for a month, and he has collected so many precious medicinal materials. Lin Fan said with a smile: "Immortal Chang praised, Lin has been in business all his life, and he has made more friends." It's just a handful of inventory from a friend, and it's not a lot of power. β
Xiao Yi said: "Lin Jushi is arrogant and has a wide range of friends, so it is natural. I picked up the tea and took a sip, it was still Laojun tea, and I couldn't help but praise the "good tea". Then he took out two medicine lists, recited the mantra silently, and left the name of the medicinal herb on the medicine list. said: "This is the medicine order twice, at the end of the month, Lin Jushi took the medicine order to Chongzhen to receive the money. After that, he picked up the three flavors of the herbs and got up to leave.
Lin Fan hurriedly said: "Immortal Chang stays, Lin has one more thing to ask for here." Xiao Yi stopped and said: "I have remembered the incident last time, and I can't do anything at present, please be patient with Lin Jushi." Lin Fan said: "The immortal is very loving, Lin Jushi is inscribed, how dare he force it again." But there is a small thing, I want to bother the immortal. Xiao Yi asked, "What's the matter?" Lin Fan took a pot-bellied and flat-bottomed pottery poppy from the hand of the "eight-character beard", opened the lid, and said, "This is two catties of old gentleman's eyebrows." Changgu Zhenren has become a habit to drink this Laojun tea all year round. Last month, Changgu Zhenren went down the mountain and passed by a small shop to get tea, but the new tea that came back from the south was still on the way, and he only wrapped a pound of aged tea for Changgu Zhenren. Lin promised Changgu Zhenren that he would leave him two catties of good tea this month. However, Changgu Zhenren said that he was going out this month and was not in the church, so he instructed Lin to bring the tea back to the mountain when he met someone who went down the mountain to purchase supplies, and put it in the Shang Dining Hall. β
Xiao Yi was vigilant, but he didn't know what to be wary of, he glanced at Tao Poppy, it was indeed the green and white Laojun tea, but he was too suspicious, so he said: "Since Changgu Zhenren has been instructed, I will take it back by the way." Lin Fan handed over the Tao Poppy, took out a small paper bag, and said: "This is two taels of Laojun tea, the immortal chief will take it back and taste it first, if you are used to drinking, next time Lin will prepare more for the immortal chief." As he spoke, he was stuffed into Xiao Yi's hand. Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pushed: "No merit, what is Lin Jushi doing?"
Under Lin Fan's repeated insistence, as well as the idea that Xiao Yi really wanted to taste everything in his heart, Xiao Yi finally took the paper bag half-pushed and half-on-the-spot.
On the way back to the mountain, Xiao Yi was happy and apprehensive in his heart, and took out the paper bag from time to time to take a look, and quickly stuffed it back into his arms, thinking in his heart that Changgu Zhenren often drink this tea, and its longevity effect must be good, and it will definitely help the cultivation. At this time, the vigilance in my heart has long been forgotten outside the clouds.
When going up the mountain, when he met the disciples who were checking, Xiao Yi opened the pottery poppy, and when they saw that it was tea, they no longer asked, but they were quite interested in the pottery poppy painted with cloud patterns, and they couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but they didn't blame it.
There was still only one young disciple guarding the door in the Shang Dining Hall, and after Xiao Yi finished the procedure, he put Tao Poppy on the table and said what Makoto Changgu had ordered. The young disciple didn't ask much, just stared at Tao Poppy and said, "This grocery store owner doesn't want to do it, so he actually uses this kind of painted pottery, doesn't he know that Nagatani doesn't like this kind of hue?"
Xiao Yi didn't know why, and he didn't dare to ask, and when he was about to leave, the young disciple said: "You take this jar back and use it, I don't need it here, besides, when Senior Brother Mingshan comes back and sees it, it will be a lot of trouble." Xiao Yixin said: "The kitchen is just a few utensils for displaying condiments, so take it back and use it just right." So he took the poppy back to the kitchen and put it on top of the cupboard.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yi took a copy of "Huang Ting Jing" to study, and after a while, he pressed it hard with his right index finger on a certain place on his body.
A few days ago, Xiao Yi sorted out all the methods he had learned, and the missing parts of the interruption were speculated on his own, and he reached the point of self-justification. Next, how to apply the Dao method to the practice of Dao is a difficult problem. The art of intercepting the Tao has been lost, and this road will definitely not work. In his opinion, all the ways are connected, and based on the interception of the Dao method, it is also possible to practice the Chongzhen Dao technique. However, the collection of books of the Changqing Daoists were all Taoism, and none of them involved Taoism.
Xiao Yi was extremely disappointed, but helpless. Yesterday's dinner, his mind flickered, and when the little disciples were about to leave, he took the opportunity to ask for help to leave a disciple of the Taoist name Yuanzhen, who was usually easy to talk and loved to eat. He first hugged the chicken leg with oiled paper and pretended to stuff it mysteriously into his arms, and then explained that he wanted to ask him to teach him the method of cultivating Taoism.
This little disciple was also naΓ―ve, and began to say that the master had said that he was not allowed to pass on Taoism to outsiders without permission. But after Xiao Yi's persuasion, what "how can I be an outsider", "we are all Chongzhen disciples", "I will add a spoonful of meat to you every ton of rice in the future", etc., moving with affection, knowing with reason, and seducing him with profit, and finally this little disciple agreed to teach him a secret every night, but he must first learn the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" and "Huang Ting Jing" and other internal scriptures. So, Xiao Yi began to specialize in "Huang Tingjing".
Because I was too engaged, I didn't realize that it was dusk. When Xiao Yi put down the scriptures and ran to the kitchen to start cooking, he always felt that something was wrong in the kitchen, but when he looked around, everything in the kitchen was as usual, and there was nothing abrupt.
There has never been anything lost in the kitchen, and there are no valuables in the kitchen, so Chongzhen disciples will naturally not be rare. Xiao Yi thought to himself, it was useless for those little disciples to ask for that Tao Poppy, presumably the people from Shangshantang regretted it and took it back. The Taoist of Shang Dining Hall has always come to the kitchen to take things casually, and similar things happen from time to time, and Xiao Yi didn't take it to heart.
After dinner, Yuan Zhen deliberately fell last, threw a small note to Xiao Yi, and hurried away. Xiao Yi hurriedly opened the note and saw that it read, "Spit out, breathe also." Boast of breathing, spitting out the old and accepting the new. The combination of movement and breath conducts qi in shape and regulates qi and blood. Qi is handsome for blood, blood is the mother of qi, qi is also bloody, qi is stagnant and blood is also stagnant", I couldn't help laughing: "This kid is really dull, he really has to be taught from scratch." But it's good that you miss the point and make a mistake. Then he picked up the food box and headed towards the Strange Stone Peak.
