Ape heart?

Literally, it means that the heart is like an ape, and the meaning is like a galloping horse, which means that people are impetuous, and they cannot be quiet.

But for the monks, this sentence is intriguing, pointing directly to the heart of the Dao, the heart of the Tao is uncertain, there is no way to talk about the Tao, if the Tao does not exist, there is no way to practice.

To put it simply, if you want to practice, you must first make the Dao heart strong, and if the Dao heart is unstable, everything is nonsense.

However, if you cook these four words into a dish and express its artistic conception vividly, the difficulty is absolutely beyond imagination.

Faced with this topic, all the spirit cooks in the main hall were stunned.

They originally had the intention of watching a good show, wanting to see how Chen Xi, a guy who fished in troubled waters, made a fool of himself in public, but when they saw this topic, they fell into contemplation one by one.

This topic is difficult, ethereal, and it is difficult to associate the heart ape with a dish just from its meaning, so it can be said that this is the most difficult topic to figure out in the re-examination so far.

If you win this question, what should you do?

The spirit cooks were silent.

At the head of the palace, all the elders of the gluttonous clan sneered, and their hearts were even more happy to the extreme, if it weren't for their demeanor, they would have looked up to the sky and howled.

Swear to God, they never expected that Chen Xi would actually pull out this topic! This is really self-inflicted, and they can't live!

Tao Zhentian frowned, and smiled bitterly in his heart, the question of this re-examination was only clear to him, and other elders could not contact it at all, which also eliminated any possibility of cheating, but he also never expected that Chen Xi would be so unlucky and won the most difficult question in this re-examination.

He was even a little worried that Chen Xi would be suspicious, thinking that he was secretly operating and deliberately embarrassing him...... If that's the case, that's too wrong!

Because of these 100 questions, ninety-nine of them were made by him, but it was this zuihou "Heart Ape Horse", not from him!

Just when everyone's thoughts in the main hall were flying, Chen Xi put down the paper and began to act.

He began to choose the ingredients he needed, and there were only a few kinds of them, such as green ghost fruit, pleated ginseng, golden-spotted jade liquid, and a piece of roe deer meat.

Then, back in front of the kitchen counter, start working on the spiritual materials.

His movements are meticulous, his speed is like the wind, his speed is like a forest, his aggression is like fire, he is not moving like a mountain, his movement is appropriate, he is skillful and smooth, and he implies a wonderful and indescribable rhythm.

This series of actions alone has attracted the attention of a lot of attention.

The people present are all people with vicious eyes, who have been immersed in the kitchen for an unknown number of years, and they can see at a glance that everything Chen Xi shows has reached the attainment of perfection, and there is no way to fake it.

This also made many people's impression of Chen Xi change, at least, from this point of view, Chen Xi's performance is not inferior to a real Qiye Ling chef.

"What is he doing here? With only four spiritual materials, he wants to cook a 'Heart Ape Horse'?" someone muttered in a low voice, a little puzzled.

"Green ghost fruit, pleated ginseng, a sweet and cold taste, a spicy boiling heat, like a water and a fire, according to the attributes of the ingredients, it is a conflicting thing, it seems a little inappropriate. ”

"There is also the golden-spotted jade liquid, which is extremely yin, and the roe deer meat is extremely yang, one yin and one yang, and it is also a combination of attributes, so matched...... Hehe. ”

"Well, it's really weird, if it weren't for his superb handling of ingredients, I really doubt that he doesn't know anything about cooking, how can a world-class chef match ingredients like this?"

The spirit chefs whispered in a low voice, all of them were confused, and they didn't know what Chen Xi was doing.

"Don't make up your mind too early, let's listen to what Master Qiu Feng has to say first. Someone spoke, and bowed his hand respectfully to the old man on one side.

"Well, yes, Master Qiu Feng can be said to be the most knowledgeable among us in the kitchen, and his skills are extraordinary. ”

As he spoke, everyone's eyes fell on the old man.

The old man was dressed in a wide white robe, with white hair like silver, and a fairy wind and bones. ”

After a pause, he continued: "If it is cooked by the old man, these four ingredients can also be cooked into a 'heart ape and horse', only need to contain yin in the water, take yang from the fire, cook pleated ginseng and roe deer meat with a blazing fire, and roast the golden spotted jade liquid and clear ghost fruit ...... with the cold fire."

"In the end, the roe deer meat is cooked with pleated ginseng, in the center, and the golden spotted jade liquid is boiled to clear the ghost fruit, distributed around, forming a pattern of fire in the water and the fire does not disperse, and the yin and yang are rushing to the sky. ”

Master Qiu Feng talked eloquently, as if he had come easily, and he was fascinated by the spiritual chefs in the vicinity, all of whom were amazed and sincerely admired.

is worthy of being a master, and in just a few words, he solved the problem of fire and water, yin and yang are incompatible, and brought the spiritual power of a few four spiritual materials to the extreme, with ingenious intentions, which is incredible.

Even the elders of the gluttonous clan nodded secretly when they heard it, this kind of cooking method is indeed ingenious and wonderful.

"Hey, he seems to have something else in mind. One person was surprised.

Everyone was stunned, and they all looked up, and sure enough, they found that Chen Xi had indeed started cooking, but the way he used was completely different from what Master Qiu Feng said.

"Hmph, if he does the same as Master Qiu Feng's answer, doesn't that mean that his cooking skills are also comparable to Master Qiu Feng?" someone retorted.

"That's right, he is so young, even if he masters the way of cooking, he definitely can't compare with Master Qiu Feng. ”

"Hehe, I can already predict that as long as the gluttonous family does not operate in the dark, this retest will definitely fail!"

"So, this re-examination should be led by Master Qiu Feng?"

"Is there any doubt about that?"

Everyone discussed, and their minds no longer paid attention to Chen Xi's every move, but discussed the final results of the re-examination with each other, and they were all extremely optimistic about Master Qiu Feng.

Qiu Feng smiled, even modest, and couldn't help but be proud and full of ambition in his heart.

He has been in retreat for 20 years, studying the way of cooking, and is only one step away from the spirit chef grandmaster.

Judging from the current situation, he can easily advance to the finals, which is beyond doubt, and the only thing he cares about is who will win the first place.

Hey!

At this moment, he glanced at it inadvertently, and when he saw Chen Xi's cooking method clearly, his eyes suddenly shrank, and the smile on his face froze a lot.

At this time, not only Qiu Feng, but also the patriarch Tao Zhentian at the head of the table also stared, his eyes were tightly locked on Chen Xi, and his face showed a look of surprise.

Soon, those spirit chefs who were happily discussing the re-examination rankings also discovered Master Qiu Feng's abnormality, and while they were slightly shocked, they couldn't help but look at Chen Xi, and then, the smiles on their faces also froze, showing surprise.

This strange atmosphere, like a silent wave, spread throughout the hall, almost a moment, the hall was already silent, quiet.

The atmosphere was extremely silent, only the sneering sound of the spiritual fire when Chen Xi was cooking.

......

Chen Xi's mind was ethereal, focusing on the kitchen counter in front of him, his majestic divine sense was like the thousands of tentacles of an octopus monster, controlling the changes of the spiritual fire sensitively and smoothly.

His movements are more like a ruler, precise, clean, and simple, but there is a kind of smoothness and rhythm of cooking.

Spiritual fire, ingredients, kitchen utensils...... Under the control of his big hands, there is a wonderful change, not like cooking, but like completing a work of art, full of wonderful visual enjoyment.

Snort!

Inside the iron pot, steaming hot, the oil flowed, making a sneering and shattering sound, and wisps of seductive fragrance that seemed to penetrate into the depths of the soul diffused.

He is so focused, but in his mind, scenes of the past appear from time to time, Songyan City learning art, Nanban Mountain Trial, Destroy the Li Family, Hidden Dragon List Dabi, Destroy the Su Family, Star Conference, Taigu Battlefield, worship into the Jiuhua Sword Sect, Cangwu Abyss......

The past is long, turbulent and hard, swords and blood flying, death and tears are intertwined, the ups and downs and thorns along the way, is it just cultivation that has been sharpened?

No!

And a heart to the Tao!

The ancient sages and gods of the Three Realms, if they ask how to attain the Tao, the only way to do so is to surrender their hearts!

If the heart is quiet, thousands of thoughts are flying, but it is only the shadow of the crow in the cold pool, the moon is reflected in the well, and everything cannot be disturbed.

If the intention is determined, in the eyes of others, purgatory, but to me it is bliss, quiet as one, and the eight extremes of spirit.

Chen Xi's current state of mind can be called a wit-wrenching ape, a leisurely gallop, doing whatever he wants without exceeding the rules, free and free, unrestrained, impetuous and illusory, and does not disturb his heart.

......

Less than a quarter of an hour.

A dish is presented, the dish is very simple, just like ordinary stir-fried pork with green peppers, but at a glance, there are two very different visions in the sky above the dish.

One is the terrifying Demon Domain, in which the heavenly demons are flying, the souls are screaming, and there are tragic scenes such as blood rivers and white bones, and purgatory.

One is a pure land like a fairyland, with gold paving the ground, the sky is falling, the dragon and phoenix are auspicious, the ground is surging golden lotus, and there are bright and brilliant images everywhere.

The two visions are not incompatible, but transformed into each other, like a cycle of yin and yang, like a blend of fire and water, with a shocking visual impact.

The audience was shocked, and the hall was dead silent.

I can vaguely hear a hint of Sanskrit sound.

The heart is not pure, and the fairy and the devil are indistinguishable.

Uncertainty, good and evil are difficult to understand!
