Those years of farming in the mountains

Chapter 153
Fragrances are sensitive to ghosts and gods, pure in mind and body, insatiable in abundance, content in few, immortal in long-term possession, and trouble-free in common use.

The single product method is pure and unclear, and has been replaced by Hexiang in recent years.

Hexiangduo supplementary medicinal materials are determined according to the Five Movements and Six Qi, the Five Elements, the Heavenly Stems and the Earthly Branches, and the ranks of monarchs, ministers and princes, and the production process of Chenbu.

Most of the Taoist sects at the foot of the mountain use incense as medicine, such as Shentan shallow water, which is made of sixteen spices and medicinal materials such as scales, sandalwood and musk.

This is not the most, some Hexiang will add fish oil, jujube and apricot to it, and finally the total can reach [-] aftertaste.

In my memory, the most complicated Hexiang I heard from the old Taoist priest in my predecessor, and even just gathering the condiments is a difficult task.

What's more, making incense needs to be in accordance with the time of day and fit the hexagrams, especially the tribute incense that worships the gods and gods of the Taoist monarch. It is easy to make a pillar in ten and a half months. It is possible to wait several loads.

Naturally, Chen Yu wouldn't ask for trouble. He just wanted to make incense sticks from the mixed herbs. As for the combination of seasonings, he looked at the bottles and jars in his hand.

There are not many spices in the temple, and there are even fewer medicinal herbs for nourishing the mind and health.The only thing that can be next to it is the Codonopsis ginseng plant in the earthen jar by the wall.

For one thing, Codonopsis ginseng is not suitable to be mixed into the incense, and when it is lit, it will be burnt, but there will be no fragrance lingering.The second reason is that Codonopsis ginseng is still young, it has only grown for a few months, even if it is nourished by spiritual liquid, it is far from mature.

As a last resort, he went to the mountains to pick some, which are common and common, and can barely be used as medicine. Some have a quiet taste, and some are fragrant.

The main ingredient is the powder of miscellaneous tobacco fruit.

Ready, he began to concoct.

Compared with Hexiang, the production of a single product is slightly simpler.Gein has a corresponding processing procedure for each compatible medicinal material, and the methods are different. Even if the common herbs in his hand are only used to enhance the flavor, the method is not too demanding, but for him, a newcomer, he can get started from the very beginning. Still a little difficult.

So I plan to try it with a single product first to accumulate experience.However, with the cooperation of mental strength, the finished product should not be difficult, but Chen Yu is not confident in how good the quality is.

There are many ways to make incense, and there are quite a few that left an impression in his mind after hearing about it.

Making, steaming, boiling, frying, broiling, firing, roasting, flying and so on.

The conditions in the temple are limited, so what I did this time is the method of broiling.

He took out the fruit wine he bought earlier and put it on the table. He rolled up his cuffs and squatted on the ground.The broiling method generally needs to be stir-fried with liquid auxiliary materials. Add a little later, and the aroma will be more mellow and pleasant.

In addition to wine, pear juice and honey can also be added.

The single product only needs to dry and condense the spices. Only the fire control is a bit challenging, but this is not a big problem for Chen Yu.

Lay plant ash, ignite the flame, and place it under the tripod.

When the uppermost side of the Fang Ding conveyed the heat, he poured grains of amber-colored powder into it.

Hold the ring handles on both sides and shake it from side to side from time to time, which looks very much like a chef throwing a spoon.

This moment reminded him of his experience in refining Sandan, the two are somewhat similar.

The smoke swirls in the Taoist temple, flying high into the sky, lingering and lingering for a long time.

Boom!
After adding the fruit wine, there were dozens of bumps, and finally the wine and the spice powder were combined to form a semi-dry paste before stopping.

After taking off the urn cover, a strong aroma gushes out, pouring out and spreading the mixed things into cakes.

Poke a small hole on the fragrant cake, then put it back, pour in a little fruit wine, and steam slowly for half an hour.Take half a bunch of hay and light it, smoke it in the four points outside the tripod, blow it with Chen Yu's Qi, and let the smoke float into the tripod gently.

Spiritually penetrated into it, and saw the smoke swirling non-stop. Under the influence, the pastry, which had already become a paste, became more a bit dark like ink.

Then leisurely floated out from the top of the pan, merged into the vast sky and dissipated.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and Chen Yu estimated the time, took out the firewood under the tripod and doused it with cold water.

According to the book, this section should knead the cake and bake it with charcoal to shape it, but Chen Yu doesn't need it, he masters the art of imperial objects, pouring invisible and quality qi into the tripod, kneading constantly, changing under the cover of spirit shape.

Throw a bamboo stick from the mouth of the tripod, and insert it into the ointment under the control of Qi, knead it again, and gradually become slender.

After the shape was set, he took it out and put it aside, and he poured it into the well water to clean it, washing away the redundant residue and smell.Since there is no extra medicinal cauldron to make incense again, I can only make do with it.

Fortunately, Qi can penetrate everywhere, and under the guidance of spiritual power, some small corners are cleaned up, and the hot aroma dissipates immediately, making it much more refreshing.

The next step is to make Hexiang, the process need not be repeated, in short, the finished product was taken out smoothly as he expected, it is made from the fruit of miscellaneous herbs, supplemented by methods such as smoking, broiling, baking, etc., the color is deep and has a There is a hint of yellow, as if wrapped in a layer of aged amber, and the attached fragrant clothes are dotted around, like spars spilled on the beach.

"It doesn't look bad, I don't know how it will work."

There is no need to expose the dried incense sticks to the sun, as they can easily become crispy when placed in the sun right out of the oven, and the incense making is basically over at this point.The next step is to verify what he thinks, to see if after working so hard for a long time, the effect of the weed can be softened.

There are four pillars for a single product, each pillar is about six inches, and the incense pillars used in some Taoist temples will be one foot and two feet. There are different customizations for incense candles in different situations, but these are only for personal use. These regulations must be followed, and the length and thickness can be up to him.

Just stand in the container that has been prepared in front of you.

chap!
The red fire flickers, and a wisp of green whiskers floats up from the incense stick in the flickering flickering.

Breathing lightly, Chen Yu's eyes lit up.

The breath entered the mouth and nose, as if a mouthful of mountain spring water had been taken in during the dog days, and there was a little sweetness in the clear and refreshing air.

It was as if the shackles had been removed from his head, and his spirit gradually became active, but he was not as fierce as before, but extremely gentle.

Before he knew it, he concentrated on meditating, allowing his consciousness to spread freely, and at the same time his mind slowly became quiet, falling into a emptiness.

It seems to be moving and still, not moving but not still.

call--

At a certain moment, there was a sound of wind in his ears, and he opened his eyes.

The field of vision is misty and dark, and there is a familiar boundless ocean under our feet, but it is extraordinarily calm, without the usual turbulent waves.

Looking forward again, sure enough, a huge and shining crystallized white net was exposed from the water, stretching across the corner.

Those dots of ingenious light particles stick together, as if holding up a galaxy, dazzling and majestic.

He walked forward, reaching out his illusory hand to touch it.

However, it seemed as if he hadn't touched anything. Even though the giant net was right in front of him, there was nothing in his hands.
