Mantra

Chapter 129
The "heart fight" with Lei Ren is completely different from the last time I competed with Zhao Shuihe.

This time it was more formal and more gunpowder-like.

After the two parties signed and signed the pledge, Zhao Shuihe, as a representative of the "witness", went to the back kitchen to bring out two kitchen knives. After we checked that they were correct, she put [-] grams of lard on each knife.

Afterwards, she and Zhao Hong lit a "petroleum wax" for me and Lei Ren respectively, and they were about to cover our eyes with cloth when talking.

We had one last chance to locate the lard and candles before blindfolding.

I frowned, looking at the kitchen knife and the lard on it.

The knife is a good knife. It can be seen at a glance that it is a "civil and military knife" produced by "Yinjiang Eighteen Sons". The blade is slightly curved, the blade is flat, and the body is made of stainless steel.

The oil is also a good oil, which is the "white cut big oil" on the back of the pig. This kind of oil is square, deep and thick, and it is evenly heated, and it is not easy to burn when it burns.

I looked at the knife and the square piece of lard on the knife, and smiled in my heart, I already had a plan.

I know that stainless steel knives are light and thin, and because of this, the thermal conductivity of the knife body is better than that of traditional iron knives, so the lard melts faster. The biggest feature of paraffin candles is that it is close to a "slow fire", with a small but continuous heat .Generally, the "heat source area" of the knife is about three centimeters, considering the wind direction and possible airflow disturbance in the house...

After a comprehensive calculation, I already have a spectrum in my mind.

Having a score in my heart is equivalent to having a plan and confidence. In this way, I am naturally not afraid of anything.

So immediately, after I smiled at Zhao Shuihe, I said, "Shuihe, put on the blindfold."

Zhao Shuihe looked at me confidently, and asked me in surprise, "Are you sure in such a short time?"

I nodded, took a look at Lei Ren, then pointed at Zhao Shuihe and said, "If I'm not sure, then others are even less sure."

After hearing what I said, Lei Ren was not angry at all. He only held a knife in his hand and said with his beard tied: "'Mao Lizai' pointing at Sang and scolding Huai is not a gentleman's action."

I laughed, as a response.

Talk about a gentleman with Pao Ding of the "Confucius Temple"?Does he deserve it?I have read "The Doctrine of the Mean", what does he know?
The sage Confucius said long ago that the greatest principle of a gentleman is to "act in a modest way"!To put it simply, if you meet a villain, you will be worse than a villain!When you meet a ruthless person, you will be even more ruthless than a ruthless person!

Therefore, I retorted: "A gentleman is a gentleman if he acts in a plain position and does not change his original intention!"

After saying that, I tilted my head and smiled, and ignored him. After signaling to Zhao Shuihe again, Zhao Shuihe wrapped three layers of thick linen cloth tightly around my eyes.

Suddenly, the sky and the earth were dark, and only my heart remained in the chaos!
With one heart and one heart, let's start!
In the dark, my brain is calculating quickly with the sense of smell and hearing.

According to the rumors, it was not a cook who invented "Knife and Fire One Heart", but Wang Shouren, the "sage of Confucianism and heart", who was astonishing in the Ming Dynasty.He invented this set of "competition" methods to inspire his military cooks and students to learn not to be afraid in the face of danger, and to learn to understand things.

It can be seen from this that "Sword and Fire One Heart" is actually one of the more comprehensive considerations in "Dou Xinpu". Although it only tests fire skills on the surface, it actually also considers both knife skills and mental quality.

Does a gamble left by the sage have so many extensions and knowledge?Of course there is, not only that, but also a lot of knowledge.

From a technical point of view, if the knife is not held stably and the lard on it wanders around, you will undoubtedly die. From a philosophical point of view, if your heart is not pure, you will not be able to accurately calculate the time, and you will undoubtedly die.

The knife is under the oil, the fire is in the heart, the knife and the fire are in the heart, immovable like a mountain.

This is the highest state of "kitchen way" using fire!

In short, in this set of sword and fire, Lei Ren and I are not so much fighting with sword and fire, but rather fighting with each other. In this set of sword and fire, there is more space and space, as well as yin and yang and five elements.

In this darkness of yin and yang and five elements and the transformation of heaven and earth, my heart is calm and stable, and my spirit is calm and leisurely.

Suddenly, there was a wave of waves in my calm as autumn water heart.The waves floated slowly like ripples and gradually spread out. As the scent of clear oil and the sound of breathing gradually formed in my mind, it actually changed into the appearance of the Yinjiang knife in my hand.

The knife in my hand overlapped with the knife in my heart.

Everything is clear in the heart.

In my heart, I know that the oil on the tip of this knife is also my heart.But to infer the number with the heart, and to infer the theory with the Yi, there should be a twist!
Immediately, I knew what to do with myself.

Afterwards, I ruled out all the distractions, and just stared at the blade of the kitchen knife quietly with my "mind's eyes", silently counting out the numbers I had already calculated in my heart.

"one two Three……"

When I counted to "49", I let out a long breath, then pulled the knife in my hand away from the candle, and moved the knife in my heart to the heart candle.

The phantom of the two knives disappeared immediately.The silence between heaven and earth also disappeared, replaced by the breathing sounds of different thicknesses from the surrounding audience and the snoring of Zhao Shuihe cracking melon seeds and drinking tea.

This little girl looks very excited.

Then, I didn't remove the eye cloth to look at the knife immediately, but I was waiting, I was waiting for the knife to cool down, waiting for the lard to solidify and turn white again.

Because only in that way, the knife in my hand will not wantonly change the shape of the lard due to my shaking, let alone let the lard float out under the action of external force.

About ten seconds later, the embers in my heart were extinguished, and I followed the feeling, tore off the bra on my blindfold, and looked at the kitchen knife covered in lard with everyone.

The area of ​​the lard on the knife is almost exactly the same as what I thought in my heart!
The entire side of the knife was evenly covered with white lard.The oil stain forms a delicate "film" on the edge of the knife edge, and because of the bondage of the film, not a single drop of oil leaks on the back and outside of the knife.

In other words, the entire side of the knife is 100% covered with oil.

I know, I won.

Even if Lei Ren has reached my level in the competition, then at most he can draw with me.In the future, I still have the upper hand in terms of "reason", and he has to get out of here with his tail between his legs!

Just when I was proud, Zhao Hong leaned over and pushed me and said, "How did you do it! The time is exactly one second, if you take the knife away from the candle one second later, all the lard will flow Out."

I smiled, pointed to my heart and said, "Six years of fire control skills are not in vain. Besides, I can't embarrass Confucius Temple and the old squad leader!"

Zhao Hong didn't say anything, just gave me a thumbs up in admiration.

As for me, I turned my head back with a smile and looked at Lei Ren who was still blindfolded and continued to bake the knife oil.

It was okay not to look at it at first, but who knew that after looking at it, I was taken aback at that time, and the confidence that I thought I would win suddenly disappeared.

Because at this moment, this blindfolded Lei Ren... is actually dancing?!
