Shui Ruohan returned to the wing, thinking about the practice of the child, and he couldn't sleep if he had the heart to sleep, lying on the bed for a long time, closing his eyes, even if he was sleepy, he really couldn't sleep, he opened his eyes and looked at the moonlight outside the window, and saw a piece of silver light sprinkled in, shining on the head of the bed, so bright, suddenly on a whim, he wanted to eat moon cakes and enjoy the moon, so he got up, took a moon cake from the round table, walked to the window, faced the moon, and slowly tasted the moon cakes.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the night of the full moon, the sky hangs a round of bright moon, like a jade plate, full and round, like a pearl, crystal clear, there are many bright stars, around the bright moon, keep blinking, dense, twinkling, in the quiet night, it is very clear. There is also the wind and grass outside the house, snakes and crawling insects, which can be heard in the quiet night, which is especially obvious, adding a little more seclusion to the beautiful scenery of this good day.

Shui Ruo saw that he was relaxed and happy, and he was greatly fascinated, eating the moon cake in his hand, and suddenly he felt a feeling, and remembered a beautiful myth and legend story related to the moon moon cake that he had heard about a little.

Legend has it, there is a moon palace in the moon, called Guanghan Palace, a fairy lives in Guanghan Palace, the name Chang'e, Chang'e fairy was born with ice muscle and jade bones, beautiful and refined, it can be called the national color of the sky, the country is captivated, and the descendants often use "Chang'e in the moon" to describe the beautiful women in the world, and the source is here.

Fairy Chang'e holds a jade rabbit in her hand and lives deep in the Guanghan Palace. There is a Wu Gang outside the Guanghan Palace, swinging an axe to cut down the laurel tree, day after day, day and night.

What Fairy Chang'e misses day and night in her heart is her husband in the mortal world, who used a divine bow to shoot down nine of the ten Taihu lakes in the past, leaving only a sun-illuminated marksman Hou Yi for the people of the world.

In order to see her husband who was lovesick day and night one day, he used a method to ask Hou Yi to make a pill with flour on a full moon night, and put it in the northwest of the house, and then called her name continuously, so as to lead her to float down the moon and gather under the laurel tree with Hou Yi. Affectionate meeting, once a year. It is said that the whispering of the two under the laurel tree on a full moon night is still heard by many people. In addition to the strange, I was amazed. It is precisely because of this that moon cakes have turned into a reunion for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and have been passed on by word of mouth among the common people. It is eaten on the full moon and continues to this day.

And the beautiful legends and stories of "Hou Yi shooting the sun", "Chang'e running to the moon", and "Wu Gang cutting Gui" are widely talked about in the mouths of the people, and the more they spread, the more gods they spread, and later they became myths. However, there is something magical about it, and it is indeed convincing.

These stories, when his father and mother came to visit him in the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, they ate moon cakes while admiring the moon. When chatting, he often told him stories, and he heard a lot, and he was familiar with them and remembered them vividly.

At this time, seeing things and thinking about people, touching the scene and feelings, thinking everywhere, thinking about my parents, my heart was touched. I couldn't help but have a sour nose, red eyes, and faintly crying, so I said: Daddy. Mother, where are you now? Are you doing well? At this time, are you like a child, eating cakes on the moon and enjoying the beautiful moonlight? When you two old people gossip, are you still telling the good stories you told with your children back then? Children miss you so much. I just don't know when the two of you will re-enter Taihu Lake, reunite with the children, and the family will be under the moon, eat cakes and admire the moon, talk about your hearts, tell stories, and have a happy Mid-Autumn Festival?

When I think of the sad and touching place, I can't help but increase the feeling of longing. The mouth opened, "let's chirp", took a bite of the moon cake, took it into the mouth, chewed and swallowed it slowly, tasted the soft and sweet moon cake noodles for a while, and enjoyed it.

The mooncake in his hand is a round cake filled with sesame seeds and walnuts, which is called Hu Cake, that is, today's moon cake. It is carefully processed by the best chef in the village with the best cooking techniques, and it is really a fine cake that is not easy for others to eat. But in his heart, the world's most delicious moon cakes are naturally the moon cakes made for him by his parents.

However, at this time, even if he wanted to eat the mooncakes made by his parents for him, where could he eat them when his parents were far away from home, and they were not here?

Among them, the moon cake with filling was called Hu cake in the early years, tracing back to the past, there are records of the beginning, the earliest can be traced back to the Yin and Zhou periods, at that time, there was a kind of "Taishi cake" in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang to commemorate the Taishi Wenzhong, which is the "ancestor" of the moon cake. Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to the Western Regions and introduced sesame seeds and walnuts to add auxiliary materials to the production of moon cakes, so a round cake filled with sesame seeds and walnuts appeared, called "Hu Cake". The name of Hu Cake was officially changed to moon cake, it was in the Tang Dynasty Tang Xuanzong period, when he and Yang Guifei ate Hu cake in the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year, Xuanzong thought that the name of "Hu cake" was indecent, Yang Guifei raised her head to look at the moon, and the word "moon cake" blurted out, which gave rise to the name of "moon cake", and replaced it, since then the name of "Hu cake" has disappeared, and the name of "moon cake" has been widely spread among the people, and everyone knows it in the streets and alleys. Before this happened, although there were many people who used the name of "moon cake" instead of "Hu cake", after all, it was a small number of people who knew a little about the artistic conception of literature and ink to say in private, and most of the people in the world were still conformist and conservative, and only knew that they were called "Hu cakes", and they didn't know how to call them "moon cakes". ”

Back then, Shui Ruohan's father was born as a literati, quite a good artistic conception, looking at the Mid-Autumn Festival, the full moon night to eat Hu cakes, this Hu cake is naturally called the moon cake to come more appropriate, suitable for this situation, therefore, every Mid-Autumn Festival to enjoy the moon and eat cakes, the title, has always been difficult to say "Hu cake", so I have to say "moon cake". Over time, his mother also called "Hu Cake" "Moon Cake", instead of calling "Moon Cake" "Hu Cake".

This is a historical thing, there are before and after, when the water is cold, he never thought of the renaming of "moon cakes" and "Hu cakes", only knowing that his parents have always called "Hu cakes" as "moon cakes", so they have always called "Hu cakes" as "moon cakes".

At this time, Shui Ruohan looked at the bright moon in the sky, the sky was full of stars, eating moon cakes, enjoying the night view, thinking about it, full of emotion, this wonderful moonlight, the beautiful scenery of the starry sky, in his opinion, has become the origin of longing, the beginning of memory.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally ate the round moon cake in my hand, and admired the moonlight for a while, and heard in my ears, "Knock! It came from afar, quite loudly, and I had already heard the husband of Zhuang Nei beating the third watch.

He was stunned when he heard this, and when he came back to his senses, a thousand thoughts in his mind instantly stopped, and he didn't think about it anymore, his mind was everywhere, that is, he thought that the time had come, and it was time to cultivate. He turned around, no longer looked at the moon by the window, walked to the bed, took off his shoes and went to bed, sat cross-legged on the bed, sealed his hands, closed the door and concentrated, and concentrated on cultivating the "soul **" that he was used to practicing proficiently.

He practiced this luck, his body relaxed, his facial features slowly inhaled, and the aura of heaven and earth at noon and night was continuously injected into the body from the five internal organs, storing essence and extraction, refining and extracting, and finally turning into soul energy, following all the meridians in the body, completely merging into the dantian, storing them one by one, and at the same time feeling that each soul of the five souls of gold, water, wood, fire, and earth is cultivated, and the emotions of the body will change together, the five senses of sorrow, fear, anger, joy, and thought, autumn dryness, winter coldness, spring breeze, summer heat, long summer, wet summer, five seasons, bitter, sour, bitter, sweet, and five flavors, through the lungs, kidneys, liver, heart, spleen, five organs, The large intestine, bladder, bile and small intestines and stomach are introduced, and then derived from the nose, ears, eyes, tongue, five senses, skin, hair, muscles, veins, and flesh, and the five elements of gold, water, wood, fire, and earth are fully opened in turn, and the five souls are all along the meridians in the body, starting from the lower dantian, passing through the perineum, passing through the ****, and passing along the spine to the tail. Sandwich the spine and the jade pillow three passes, to the top of the head mud pills, and then from the two ears and cheeks to the tip of the tongue, will go to the tip of the tongue, not another meridian path to walk, to Yingxiang, take the magpie bridge, just go straight to the Ren vein, along the chest and abdomen in the middle of the dantian, straight to go a little Zhoutian, can be said: "take the hurdle to fill out, water and fire are both good."

Feeling that the five strands of soul qi in the body circulated along the Ren and Du two veins for a week, it was already a "jade liquid returning pill", and after walking for a "meridian week", Shui Ruohan's body was happy, and he did not stop cultivating, but continued to refine these five strands. And the soul qi stored in the dantian is stored together according to the principle of the five elements, one by one along the meridians of the whole body's viscera and runs wildly, and the cycle begins, starting from the small Zhoutian, along the eight veins of the strange meridians in the body, rather than along other meridians, and finally returns back to the dantian, and walks on a big Zhoutian, that is, "Qiankun ****, Mao You Zhoutian" , The full essence formed by Xiao Zhou Tianhou is gradually returned to the innate essence, so that the five soul qi are combined into one in the dantian, and finally reach the realm of practicing qi and transforming the gods, and condense into a five-color true yuan in the dantian, and then, through the skin of the whole body squirted out of the body, the body feels refreshed At the same time, the second lesson of this "soul **" "Yin Soul Gong" has been successfully cultivated today.

When I succeeded, I looked everywhere, and saw that the five-colored true qi rushing out of the body surface was not a subtle trace of the past, but became a rich one, and the whole body was completely emanated, and I could see it very clearly and clearly everywhere when I was close to it.

He was in a happy mood, "exhaled", breathed a sigh of relief, and under the surprise, he couldn't help but secretly say: After the "one soul and three spirits" realm of this "soul **" is practiced, the momentum of the whole body is really extraordinary, different from the ordinary, think about it, my "Yin Soul Gong" cultivation has reached a new realm, far from being comparable to the past.
