Imagine the world

Chapter 538

On the day Hua Zhenxing flew back to Wucheng, Mr. Yang and Mr. Feng gave him a classic book respectively. Hua Zhenxing also studied it carefully during this period, and the harvest was indeed very great.

First of all, let's talk about "Fan Fang Pu". Old man Yang said that he copied it from the Sutra Library at Zhengyi Gate. It was bound into a booklet with the highest quality sandalwood, with small calligraphy and ink illustrations.

On the cover of the manuscript, there are three large characters of Fan Fang Pu, and next to it is a small character "Compiled by Xianjia Yang Tiangan". After opening it, there is no order and no postscript, and it is directly the content.

Hua Zhenxing has never seen the original handwriting of this book, but just looking at old man Yang's handwriting, it can be called amazing!

In fact, if old man Yang wanted to pass on his classic, there was no need to write another copy himself. It would be easier to pass on the original version by photocopying it or directly copying it with spiritual thoughts.

Hua Zhenxing didn't know that the reason why old man Yang did this was that the original handwriting was not very eye-catching, but he didn't want this book to be passed down, so he made some corrections when transcribing it.

After reading it, Hua Zhenxing decided to store Yang Tehong's copy in the Dian Pavilion of Yangyuangu, and issue a batch of photocopies internally for the tutors to study.

What Hua Zhenxing didn't even know was that there were inscriptions and postscripts at the front and end of the original handwriting, expressing his admiration for a female cultivator named "Zhi Yan".

This book was written by the immortal Yang Tiangan during the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Kingdom. The purpose of this book is to give Zhiyan to please him, and at the same time to show off his knowledge and talents.

Zhiyan is the Taoist partner of the patriarch Zhengyi. He obviously wanted to poach the corner of the wall. Although he did not succeed in digging the corner of the wall, this "Fan Fang Pu" is undeniable historical evidence.

Later disciples of Zhengyi School did not destroy this book, but put it in the Sutra Pavilion to eat ashes, which is considered very generous.

There is another thing that Hua Zhenxing is not clear about. "Fan Fang Pu" is in the Sutra Pavilion of Zhengyi Gate. It is a classic that only the heads and elders of the past dynasties are qualified to consult. Other disciples, such as Guangren, can't see it. of.

As for why old man Yang was able to make a copy, anyway, he didn't explain it, and Hua Zhenxing didn't know the inside story.

At any rate, he is quite particular about the old man, so he didn't copy down the two inscriptions and postscripts, but just copied the content directly and made appropriate corrections, and saved some redundant gossip in the book.

Yang Tehong said that when he helped Hua Zhenxing develop the prescription of Wuqi Chunrong Pill, he was somewhat inspired by this book.Hua Zhenxing also noticed it, because he also received a lot of inspiration.

The name "Fan Fang Pu" looks like a recipe, but there are not many dishes in it that can be served in a serious banquet.A lot of its pages are describing how to refine various other things using Qunfang as a material, it is better to say that it is a book of alchemy.

People outside the world can eat with clouds and fragrant flowers, which was a kind of taste in ancient times.Various kinds of soups, teas, flower dew, etc. are made with various fragrances, which not only have various special effects, but also assist in spiritual practice.

For example, there is a kind of "Wandering Rose Water", which is made from the petals of Seicao rosea.Not only can it relax the tendons and activate collaterals, harmonize the blood and calm the liver, but after taking it, there will be a faint fragrance lingering around the body, which can refresh the mind of those who smell it.

What really catches Hua Zhenxing's eyes is a "five-color and five-taste drink" recorded in the book.It can assist in walking, sitting, and lying down, and calm the soul. Even if ordinary people drink a few drops before going to bed, the effect of calming the nerves and beautifying the face is quite good.

The shadow of Wuqi Chunrong Pill can be seen in this, and its refining technique is also worthy of Hua Zhenxing's study, but it is a pity that Hua Zhenxing can't refine it now.

One of the reasons is that the materials are rare and hard to find, and the other is the requirement for the refiner to have at least nine realms of cultivation.

The Dan Fangpu in "Fan Fang Pu" basically has these two characteristics. It is feasible if only a small amount of refining is done by the masters of the Xianjia, but there is no basis for large-scale promotion, let alone mass production in a similarly industrialized manner.

But "Meal Fangpu" is also an important textbook for Hua Zhenxing, from which he can understand and learn the various methods of refining elixir.

As for the "Hundred Flowers" that Mr. Feng gave him, the style of "Fan Fang Pu" is different.

This set of Song edition books may be due to its age, and even the cover is gone. If it weren't for the words "Baihuaxian" sewn into the pages of the book, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to figure out the name.

But its pages are very well preserved. If you only look at the first "dish" recorded in it, you will think that it is similar to "Fan Fang Pu". It is called Rui Mei Mi.

The so-called Ruimei honey is rose-red and translucent like honey. When you take it, put a drop under your tongue and it will melt. There will be a cool sweet fragrance permeating the whole body. As medicine, it can also treat various internal injuries and assist in the recovery of the furnace. At the same time, it has the effect of soothing the spirit and moving the energy.

Ruimei honey is also useful. It can be contained under the tongue when practicing the jade liquid circle in the way of alchemy, which is wonderful for helping the practice.

Hua Zhenxing feels that the "Ruimei Honey" in "Baihuawei" seems to be fighting against the "Wandering Rose Dew" in "Fan Fangpu", because the materials used are all roses and thorns.

Ruimei honey can be refined by Hua Zhenxing. The minimum requirement for the alchemist is to have at least a Dacheng practice, and Hua Zhenxing is not only a Dacheng monk, but also a master of Wai Dan.

As for the rosy grass thorn rose, Hua Zhenxing can also get it, Zhengyimen has it, Qianliu Mountain has it, and Fanglongguan's Baihua yam field also has it.

But if you look at "Hundred Flowers" later, you will find that the so-called Ruimei honey seems to be just a bluff, and the content behind it is mainly recipes, either directly using flowers as ingredients, or using flowers as supplements and seasonings with flowers.

There are cold dishes and stir-fried dishes, steamed dishes and deep-fried dishes, fried dishes and soups, and more interestingly, meat and vegetables!

How can there be meat dishes in "Hundred Flowers"?Although there are flowers in every dish, it is not only flowers. Sometimes flowers are the main material and sometimes auxiliary materials.

For example, there is a very common home-cooked dish in modern Dongguo called Mushu Pork, which uses day lily flowers. Can it be said that it is a vegetarian dish? Although there is no Mushu meat in "Hundred Flowers", there are several similar dishes.

For example, there is a dish that uses fresh lotus leaves and lotus flowers that are about to bloom, but the main ingredient is frogs.Hua Zhenxing had heard of Beggar Chicken, but he had never heard of Lotus Frog, and its name was Meiren Chushui.

The recipes in "Hundred Flowers" have another feature. Most of them use common ingredients that are easy to collect.

For example, there is a pickle, which is called pickled cucumbers. The cucumbers with flowers are used, and they are picked when the flowers are not withered.This kind of cucumber is about the size of a girl's finger, and the flowers are picked together, and it looks quite delicate when it is done.

There are also nonsense explanations in the recipes, saying that "melon is the reality of China", "take the flower before it falls, and the reality has already been born", "condense its essence and form the meaning of the pill", "everything in the ordinary world can taste vitality Jinghua", and gave this dish the name "Jingguadan".

Whose elixir is in the shape of a small cucumber with flowers on it?And it's really made of cucumbers, eat it with flowers!

After the cucumbers bloom, some of them need to be thinned out, and every melon-bearing flower cannot be left behind.When the cucumbers under the receptacle grow to the size of a finger, the vines can be used for cooking. In fact, many people have eaten them.

Although most of the ingredients in "Hundred Flowers" are very common, the processing methods recorded in it are also not simple. Although the requirements are not as mysterious as in "Fan Fang Pu", at least they must have a foundation of Dacheng.

The volume of "Hundred Flowers" is very thin, and there are many illustrations. Except for the Ruimei honey at the front, the rest of the content happens to be a table.

Mr. Feng should be urging Hua Zhenxing, can he make this banquet?Why don't Huazhenxing simply set up a table, make an appointment first, and then invite all the important partners, and it can't be just him and Mr. Feng.

The place where Hua Zhenxing made this table of delicacies was in the pavilion on the island of Huanxiang Garden. He called Teacher Ding, Bai Shaoliu, You Fang, Cheng Tianle and others.

Teacher Ding still couldn't get in touch. It was said that he had visited a certain small world again, but after hearing the news, the elders of Fangwaimen Zhu Shanxian and Tan Hanchuan joined hands to have this meal on behalf of Fangwaimen.

When Shi Buquan and Shangni heard about this incident, they also expressed that they would attend and be responsible for receiving their elders.

Bai Shaoliu, You Fang, and Cheng Tianle originally said that they were busy with something, but they understood that what Hua Zhenxing wanted to do was a feast of flowers, and they all said that other things were not important, and they had to come to President Hua to save face no matter what.

They didn't come alone to save face, so they assembled a large table.Of course, Manman also came from Pingjing. Wang Fengshou heard the news and claimed that he needed to come here to deal with some business, so he could attend the meeting by the way.

But Hua Zhenxing didn't let Wang Fengshou come, and only said to find another chance next time, this time there was almost no room for one table.

Although Hua Zhenxing didn't let Wang Fengshou come over, he took the initiative to call the three old people, especially old man Yang.As a result, Uncle Mo couldn't get in touch; Mrs. Ke didn't intend to come over, but asked Hua Zhenxing to send him a copy of the book "Hundred Flowers".

Old man Yang didn't come to join in the fun, he said he was busy, but he clearly asked Hua Zhenxing to cook another table of delicacies for him at another time.

……

There are three-storey pavilions on Huanxiangyuan Lake Island, and the purpose of building it is mainly for the training of Yangyuanshu.Even ordinary residents living in Huanxiang Garden can't see the island and the pavilion on weekdays.

Those who are qualified to land on this island have already practiced Yuan Yang Art, and they are at least first-class Yuan Yang masters.

There is a bamboo forest in the southeast corner of the lakeshore, about an acre and a half in size, which is considered an exaggerated area in a residential area or living area.There are several small roads winding and criss-crossing in the forest, and there are light poles and surveillance cameras at each intersection.

There is also a sign reading "Stealing bamboo shoots is strictly prohibited, offenders will be punished severely" on the lamppost.

There are some other plants growing in the bamboo forest, such as wild strawberries growing on vines, and shrub raspberries that are close to the height of a person. There are two types of raspberries, yellow raspberries and red raspberries, which are delicious anyway.

If someone is allowed to enter the island in the middle of the lake, a non-existing road will suddenly appear in the bamboo forest. Along this road to the lake, there will be a long stone bridge close to the water leading to the island. In this scene, ordinary people are invisible.

There are three floors of pavilions on the island. The main part of the first floor is a hall with a pulpit. There are no chairs in the hall. There are many futons on the shelves along the walls on both sides. Almost 200 people can sit here at the same time.

The stairs are on both sides of the entrance on the first floor, and there are five classroom-like places on the second floor, two on each side of the corridor, and one at the end, each with different functions.

The third floor is the tutor's office, lounge, teaching and research room.The roof of the building is a large open platform, on which a hexagonal pavilion is built, in which there is a round stone table and six stone drum benches.

The Hundred Flowers Banquet set up by Huazhen Bank is located in the hall on the first floor of the attic.A large round table was placed in the center of the hall, and it was not too crowded for fifteen or six people.

On one side of the hall, Huazhenhang set up a long operating table and a row of stoves, and the water and water were connected without knowing how, and the dishes were cooked on the spot, which can be called a fully open kitchen.On the shelf behind him are not futons, but various flowers and vegetables.

Manman came yesterday and is helping out this afternoon.However, many dishes in "Hundred Flowers" require monks to master the processing techniques, and Manman's cooking is still a little bit off.

For example, the Jinggua Dan, it looks like a fresh cucumber flower, with a little finger-like cucumber attached to the receptacle, as if it had just been picked off the vine.

The first bite of flowers tastes crispy, while the second bite of melon tastes sour and crunchy.

There are some dishes that Manman can cook. For example, there is a magnolia coat, which is to use the petals of Magnolia magnolia to form a blooming shape along the outer edge of the plate. In the middle of the plate is stir-fried yellow beef with red and green peppers.

Hua Zhenxing knew at a glance, isn't this the idea of ​​bandit meat?

The flowers of Magnolia magnolia are pure white, opening up to the size of a sea bowl, looking from a distance like white pigeons parked on green trees.Its petals are thick and spoon-shaped, and this dish is eaten with fried pork wrapped in petals.

The petals of Magnolia magnolia look like they have just been picked, but in fact they have been refined with magic power to remove alkali and astringency, maintain shape and color, and have a sweet and waxy feeling in the mouth.

There is also a dish called Liulizhi, which is not the meaty Ganoderma lucidum that is a specialty of Xiaojing Lake, but the most common fried pumpkin flower in vegetarian food. It is usually wrapped in some bean flour paste and fried, and the taste is a bit like eating meat.

The pumpkin flowers fried by Hua Zhenxing are in the shape of unfolded Ganoderma lucidum. The petals, including the hanging juice on the top, are completely transparent, and there is a crisp sound when bitten down. No wonder it is named Liulizhi.

Cheng Tianle and Wen Xiaoshao came earlier, they didn't have the nerve to sit still, so they also came to help together.Both of them have nine levels of cultivation, and their craftsmanship is actually good. They cooked several dishes under the guidance of Hua Zhenxing's spiritual sense.

Cheng Tianle snickered while cooking, thinking that this delicacy was very interesting. For example, Wen Xiaoshao's "Hiding the Stars and the Moon and Tasting the Fragrance" was actually jasmine shrimp.

The main ingredient of this dish is medium-sized freshwater prawns with seeds. The shells are more delicate, and the seeds and kernels must be kept intact. After cooking, they can be picked up with chopsticks, just one bite at a time.

The so-called star is the shrimp roe, and the so-called moon is the crescent-shaped shrimp. The best ingredients are yellow wintersweet, followed by white jasmine.At this time, Hua Zhenxing did not find Huang Lamei, so he used white jasmine.

After You Fang came, he also gestured to roll up his sleeves to help, but he was wearing short sleeves.Hua Zhenxing drove him back to the table to sit with the other guests, but it was just a table of food, and the "kitchen" was full of staff.

While cooking his own dishes, Hua Zhenxing watched Manman arranging the dishes. The magnolia dress was made from the petals of Magnolia magnanimum. He was wondering if he could improve it, and try it with Magnolia magnolia next time?

Lingshu Magnolia and Magnolia Magnolia are actually not the same plants, but they are both named Magnolia. Many plants have been transplanted in the Huanxiang Garden, and they bloom every year.

Lingshu magnolia not only blooms but also bears fruit. The fruits it produces are like irregular bunches of grapes. When you pick one and look carefully, it is actually hemispherical like a chestnut. It is about the same size as a grape, but its texture is similar to a chestnut.

It also has a hard shell on the outside, and the nuts inside are edible.The mana-fried nuts swell slightly after they are cooked, but the shell does not swell just enough, and the shell will split from it when you bite it lightly, just like eating melon seeds.

After the guests arrived one after another, but before the banquet, fried Lingshu magnolia fruits were placed on the table, which were used as melon seeds for appetizing tea.

When the banquet officially started, everyone's anticipation was already full. A table full of flowers and delicacies was delicious, and everyone praised them again and again.Eating such a table of dishes requires a bit of elegance, and drinking in small cups.

But at the end of the drink, everyone's drunkenness also came up, and they ate up the table of delicacies, and the plates were as clean as if they had been washed.

Hua Zhenxing's culinary skills were unanimously praised, and everyone praised him as the second chef in the world.Why is it not number one? It may be that this is more in line with the true meaning of the realm of "husband is not in contention", or it may be that he is afraid of his pride.

Everyone hasn't had enough wine yet, but the food has been eaten.Hua Zhenxing said that he would not add any more, because the entire recipe has been finished, and every dish in "Hundred Flowers" has been served, and it feels right to eat here.

Where to eat, do you follow a recipe from beginning to end?Everyone has seen it today.In fact, there is still one thing that is not on the table in "Hundred Flowers", which is the Ruimei honey mentioned in the opening chapter.

Hua Zhenxing was also prepared. He refined a batch of Ruimei honey in advance and packed it in small crystal bottles, and gave each lady present a bottle.As for men... Actually, there are rewards too!
The people here are not ordinary people. After tasting and commenting, everyone came to a unanimous conclusion. Eating this feast of flowers and delicacies also has nourishing and spiritual effects. One of the spiritual effects is equivalent to taking a box of Chunrong Pill.

But Baihuaxian is not Chunrong Pill, it is just a banquet. If labor costs are not counted, all kinds of ingredients plus some water and electricity costs will only cost a few thousand yuan at the top.

If the labor cost is included...the account cannot be calculated, so let's forget it!

Due to the irreplaceable characteristics of several special spiritual materials, Chunrong Dan can only be taken by women, but Baihuaxian is different, both men and women can eat it!

Saying that it is one of its magical effects is equivalent to taking a box of Chunrong Pill, but it is actually just a rough judgment of all the experts present.This kind of banquet is not a mass-produced industrial product, and there is no quantitative standard for the so-called spiritual effect.

For example, some people may eat a few more bites, some people eat a few less bites, some people eat a few more bites of this dish, and some people eat a few more bites of that dish.The specific efficacies will vary according to the actual situation and even the differences in physique.

Even if the same recipe is followed, if a different person makes it, there may be a difference in the spiritual effect, or even if the processing method is slightly changed or fooled, it may not have the spiritual effect experienced by many experts today.

Hua Zhenxing is the founder of Yangyuan Technique and the developer of Chunrong Pill!The Baihua delicacies he made must have their own personal characteristics in terms of "flavor".

All in all, this table of delicacies was a great success. After all the cups and plates were removed, everyone was still drunk, and someone took out a pen and paper on the spot.

Mr. Feng drank too much, went to the operating table to get a bowl of soy sauce, grabbed a pen and was about to dip it in to write.Hua Zhenxing hurriedly stopped him, and set the inkstone on the dining table. Mr. Feng picked up a pen and wrote the four characters "Yiyuezhongfu".

Hua Zhenxing asked cooperatively: "Mr. Feng, why did you write these four characters?"

Mr. Feng's face was flushed, with the smell of wine in his breath: "Just now, gardens and seedlings are not only the garden of seedlings, but also the seedlings in the garden. They are like the beginning of heaven and earth, and the beginning of all things. The so-called yuan in Yangyuan technique.

Zhongfu is the beginning of all things in the world and the source of all living beings.You are not practicing alone, but you are also promoting the cultivation of vitality in the world. It is not to arouse the vitality of one person, but to arouse the vitality of everyone.As I have seen, it can be called reading.

But practice is also one's own business, no matter how well the Yang Yuan technique is promoted, it may not be able to push you over the barrier.As far as your own practice is concerned, if you want to create Yangyuanshu Gong Jue to break through the eight realms of cultivation, seeing all kinds of vitality in the world is the mental method, and this is also the reading. "

Although Mr. Feng was seven times drunk and was about to dip in soy sauce to write, he told Hua Zhenxing plainly that "Yiyuezhongfu" should be the "mind method" of the eight realms of Yangyuanshu.

Hua Zhenxing knew his own state, and it was not the most important issue when he could achieve perfection after breaking through the seven realms. If he wanted to prove a higher realm, he had to be able to at least see the way to witness the eight realms.

As for whether the threshold can be passed is another matter, but if the doorway cannot be seen, then it will never be possible to pass.

It may be of no use for Mr. Feng to say to others, "read everyone's advice", because others are not Hua Zhenxing.It was precisely Hua Zhenxing who heard about it after drinking, and suddenly felt something, as if he had vaguely seen a ray of doorway in the distance.

Being able to accept this mental method may also be related to his tossing about turning cranes, carvings, and dragons in the past six months.

Hua Zhenxing immediately announced that he decided to frame these four characters and hang them in this hall in the future.As the drunkenness rose, he also became interested, took a bigger pen, and wrote the three characters "Zhongfu Pavilion" with his own hands.

He put down his pen and said: "Thank you, Mr. Feng, for your guidance. This place is named Zhongfu Pavilion."

Although Hua Zhenxing's handwriting is very solid, but to be honest, there is still a gap with Old Man Yang's handwriting. If it is compared with Mr. Feng's four words just now, it is only more neat in terms of method.

The pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake has never been named. Hua Zhenxing named it Zhongfu Pavilion, and when he turned around, someone made a plaque and hung it directly above the gate.

This place was originally a training place for elementary Yangyuan masters and tutors, and its nature is similar to the Yangyuanshu centers in various parts of Jili Kingdom.

Director Hua wrote the words "Zhongfu Pavilion" in his own hand, and a plaque was hung here, and then someone else made the same plaque and hung it on the gates of the main buildings of Yangyuanshu Centers in various places. This can be regarded as a clever flattery.

Man Man, the leader of the Yangyuanshu Center, did not stop this kind of sycophantic behavior, and also approved the suggestions of many mentors, naming the main buildings of the Yangyuanshu Centers in various places as Zhongfu Pavilion, which became their synonym.

These are all things to talk about later.

After this feast of flowers and flowers, I don’t know how the news got out, and then some people used various methods to encourage Hua Zhenxing to make another one, and prepared a list of all the materials needed...

But Baihuaxian is really not a matter of materials, the key is Hua Zhenxing himself.The second table of Hundred Flowers Delicacy Banquet was held a week later, and it was difficult to find out exactly who was instigating the havoc. The number one suspect seemed to be Wang Fengshou.

This table mainly invites junior disciples from various sects who have made good friends with Hua Zhenxing, such as Dan Zicheng, Shi Shuangcheng, Zhang Lanyi, Guangren, Ye Yining and so on.Wang Fengshou volunteered to come over to entertain, eat, drink, and chat with him, and Lang Xiaomin did not fall behind.

This shows that Huazhenxing is very popular. I heard the news that Fan Xing, chairman of Fangguan Development, and the head of Qianliushan have come, saying that they want to help with picking vegetables, washing dishes and so on.

After the second feast of hundreds of flowers, the news spread all over the rivers and lakes, and old man Yang also slipped to Wucheng.The juniors are all invited, can the elders not invite them?
Invite the heads of the Zhengyi Sect and the Three Dreams Sect and several elders. In addition, the two heads of the Qingcheng Sword Sect and Tingtao Villa who assisted in the investigation last time in the Baihua Mountain discussed the matter in the name of gratitude. Sending out an invitation is also a human relationship.

The next step is not to take turns entertaining Kunlun factions?Many people are asking about it!But it won't work if it goes on like this, Hua Zhenxing thinks he is a little genius in comprehension, how did he become a little master chef in the East now?

Huanxiang Yuanzhongfu Pavilion can simply change the kitchen, and Hua Zhenxing will be the chef every day!Fortunately, at the third table of the Hundred Flowers Delicacy banquet, old man Yang gave him a solution, and ordered Hua Zhenxing to make a photocopy of "Hundred Flowers Delicacy" and send it to the Kunlun sects.
