Those years of farming in the mountains

Chapter 6 Daomai School ([-]) (Please comment!)

Benedict!
The sharp hatchet fell, and a big gap appeared in the emerald green bamboo body.

Chen Yu held the knife firmly, and slashed at the side at the same height with another knife.The two openings face each other, and the hollow bamboo heart is exposed.I saw him push lightly, and after a crack, the whole bamboo suddenly broke and fell, and the bamboo leaves slammed into one piece, and finally fell to the ground.

Take a few steps forward, grab the middle section, lift it up to your eyes, look at it, and make gestures. After a while, you shake your head and sigh, and put it back on the ground.

Behind him, there were quite a few mottled bamboos lying horizontally, about a dozen of them, varying in height, fat and thin, but obviously none of them satisfied him.

Rolling up his sleeves, Chen Yu continued to choose.

In fact, his requirements are really not high, but he can’t see the part covered by the branches and leaves clearly when standing on the ground, so he chose several lower sections that he likes in a row, but in the end, something went wrong in the middle and upper parts, either skewed or too large. thick.

Fortunately, there is enough bamboo here, so I don’t have to worry about finding it.

cuckoo~

cuckoo~

The sun gradually hung on the top of the clouds, and it was noon.The birds were singing louder and louder, with different calls, echoing in the mountains and forests.

Whoa!
The grass trembled, and a naked bamboo flew out of it and fell to the ground.Then I saw Chen Yu leaning out, with fallen leaves still stained on his body, picking them up while looking down.

The bamboo body is green and green, and the branches that were originally growing were shaved clean by him. It is not smooth to the touch, but has a slight prickly feeling like fluff.

I tried the hand feeling before, and it was so-so, but there are still a few processes in the back, and the finished product will not be too bad when it comes out.

It shouldn't be a big problem to catch a small fish in the mountains.

Qingtai Mountain is surrounded by rivers on three sides, but Yunhe Temple is located closer to the west, that is, in the direction of Baiqi Mountains. There are many mountains and hills, but few rivers and lakes.

In the mountains, there is no shortage of cold pools and secluded springs, and there are also many gurgling mountain streams, but this kind of place cannot raise big fish. The water pool that Chen Yu originally wanted to go to is located in the dense forest, surrounded by a few big rocks, it is a natural place. deep pool.

A certain person keeps saying that there is something big, but in fact he knows exactly what it is.

Fishing, the key is to catch, not fish.

Speaking of the moment, Chen Yu, who had finished cutting the green bamboo, did not return directly to the Taoist temple, but carried the bamboo down the hillside, placed it at the intersection, tightened his shoulders with a basket, turned around and went on another road.

The purpose of coming out this morning is not as simple as cutting a piece of bamboo.

Trekking on the path, the rocks on both sides are towering and unruly, and the hatchet in the hand sometimes cuts vertically and obliquely, cutting off the thorns and thorns blocking the front.

The shrubs and haystacks in this mountain are growing really fast. It has been less than half a month since I came last time. The same road was broken a lot at that time. In just ten days or so, it has become extraordinarily lush again.

Chen Yu went upwards, along this path that was stepped out at some time, and went straight into the depths of Qingtai Mountain.

Soon, the Qingyan gradually disappeared, and the terrain became flat.After another two moments, hills with ancient roots fell into his eyes.

Greenery.

But this time he didn't go straight into the woods, but walked along the edge.As he walked forward, he recalled, and after a while, he came to a depression.

Ahead, a deep pit was half covered under the lawn, the loess was dug out of the ground, and broken roots of plants and trees could be seen.

After walking a few more steps and lowering your head down, you will see a steep cliff with a height of seven to eight feet. On the bottom rock lies a piece of dead wood.

Only half of the body of the wood was covered with moss and green grass, the bark was cracked, and there seemed to be a dark hole near the stone wall, which seemed to be dug by some animal to make a home.

Chen Yu only took a look and then looked away. He came to the edge of the cliff, half a step away from the deep pit, and didn't dare to get closer, lest he accidentally step on the empty space and fall.

The soil layer in this place is not tight at all, otherwise it would not have collapsed in the heavy rain last month, and the big tree fell down together.

Leave a big hole.

He bent down and lowered his head, searching along the mountain wall. After a while, he seemed to have found something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

I saw a group of sawtooth-like ferns clinging to a certain crack in the stone.

The most eye-catching is the orange-yellow fruit wrapped in grass leaves.

"Sure enough."

With sharp eyes, Chen Yu saw the reddish spots on the fruit.

So without delay, the person lay on the ground and reached out to touch it.Grab the grass body with a big hand, and pull out the leaves and roots with a little force.

After getting up, I picked it up and looked through it carefully, only to find that there was more than one fruit in it, but there were not many orange ones, and most of the others were either green or rotten.

However, Chen Yu was quite satisfied. When he went up the mountain a month and a half ago, he saw this orange and silver grass by chance. At that time, he saw that the fruit was still small, so he waited for more than a month. Today, he wanted to stop by to have a look, and it was indeed ripe.

I flipped through the leaves of grass and counted them. There are a total of four orange and silver fruits. According to the recipe in my memory, one box of Baiyun powder should be enough. If there are enough ingredients, I can get an extra box. .

Baiyun Powder is a piece of medicine he discovered when sorting out the memories of his predecessor. It is not considered a famous elixir. After all, Yunhe Temple has always upheld the principle of Jingming.

Among the four major sects of Danding, Hesha, Shanfu, and Jingming, only the Danding School specializes in lead and mercury, and other schools rarely involve it.

It's just that the alchemy and tripod method is not very popular among the Taoist priests in Daliang.Only Zhenwu Mountain has opened a secondary vein in recent decades, called Lingdan Peak, which majors in the alchemy method, but the other mainstream is still the Hesha method.

Due to the prosperity of Taoism, there are different factions in various places.

Systematically speaking, Taoism in this world can be distinguished according to the following three categories.

First, based on the theory of Taoism, that is, the Zhengyang Temple and Zhenwu Mountain mentioned earlier are the most prominent sects in the world.

Second, based on the theory of learning, there are four major traditions: Zhenyi, Qingwei, Qianyang, and Taiping. Although Zhengyang Temple and Zhenwu Mountain are the same practice, they each uphold different theories.

Third, it is called the School of Law based on the theory of law revision.Specifically, the four mentioned above.Taoism focuses on cultivating xinxing and at the same time pursues freedom and carefreeness and nourishes energy for longevity.However, as far as he knows, no one has really practiced something so far.Those few who boasted that they had attained great achievements in practice and even soared in the daytime, it is really not sure whether they are grandstanding or have hallucinations due to stupidity.

Today, most of the cultivation realms are just the fantasy of Taoist priests, staying in books and theories.

At least Chen Yu read the "Huajing Ten Lives Records" which is dedicated to the practice of Jingming Dharma, and he was always talking about it. When it came to the specific state, it was either evasive or vague, and it was just a general description.

This level has to be like this, and then it can be like this, well, the rest is up to fellow Taoists to comprehend.

It can be called a brain hole contest.

But having said that, no matter how illusory or untrue the ideas of these Taoist masters are, at least the ideas they base on have not changed. What they write is commendable in terms of meditation and enlightenment and education as the foundation of people.

This is why Chen Yu likes to read Taoist scriptures.

Funny and philosophical, who doesn't love it.

……

Put the orange and silver grass into the waist bag that you wear next to your body - as for the back basket, it is used to hold other things.

After tidying up, Chen Yu bowed into the lush forest beside him.

Before I took two steps, I saw a fir tree with a gray top and white inside like an umbrella hiding in a corner of the tree root.

He is full of smiles, good guy, just opened when he came.

　Sorry <(__)>, I forgot to set the timer and only found out after dinner.
