Those years of farming in the mountains

Chapter 190 Lanshang Festival

The wooden book was held in his hand, and when he looked closer, he felt more and more similar to a book, and the texture on it seemed to become unpredictable, but the 'pages' could not be turned. Chen Yu used a little effort, but it was not damaged.

The skin is rough and the meat is thick, so it can be used.

Weighing it in his hand, after playing with it for a while, he suddenly felt that it felt pretty good in his hand, and if he threw it at it, the effect would not be bad.

It's more like a brick than a book.

Laughing and muttering, he lifted the wood and threw it far away, and then a gust of invisible wind blew it, wrapping him up and falling firmly on the stone table in the courtyard separated by a wall.

The distance between the two places is less than eight zhang, just within the range of his inner qi and spirit.

After putting away his things, Chen Yu continued to take care of his two gardens.Needless to say, the medicine field is being looked after every day, and there are several more vegetables in the vegetable garden, such as the radish and garlic we bought.

In my memory, the mashed garlic is still very fragrant, it can enhance the freshness and remove the fishy smell, it can be regarded as a kind of seasoning.

In addition to garlic, there are also many ways to eat.

The above were bought from the bottom of the mountain, and some of them were left as seeds cultivated by inspiration. They have not been sprinkled in the medicinal soil, and the area for planting medicinal herbs is already full, and there is not much room left.

Yuan Linggen matured one after another, but there was no phenomenon of yellowing and withering of the roots, which was different from the cypress that had just died on the spot.

So make a note: growing from seed probably won't result in morbidity.

On the booklet that was about to have no place to write, another line of text was crookedly dropped, and at the end, Chen Yu hooked the tip of the pen and added half a sentence of petty characters on it.

[Not yet verified, to be compared]

He thought, after all the roots of Yuan Ling were uprooted to free up the medicine fields, he would use Lingzhi Qiudao wheat, radish seeds, etc. to prove it. Speaking of which, grass pills are actually conceived from seeds, but there are only two of these things. The appearance is weird, like the real pill in the tripod, he really couldn't find the seed of the other party from the limited samples.

In his opinion, the orange flesh under the skin is more like the egg white of a chicken than the yolk, and it cannot be planted in the soil to grow new grass.

However, the grass pill should have seeds, but it does not rule out that during the process of turning into a spiritual plant, the seeds are alienated until they disappear and no longer exist.

All have to wait for the current batch to mature before exploring further.

……

September [-]th is the [Lan Shang Festival] of water and soil here.

'Lan' is not an orchid orchid, but a kind of snake, small in size but bluish in color, if you accidentally step on it in the night, it will make it glow dimly, and then run away in a meandering way.

Yaoyue Yuelan and Yingying Duo Shang.

Shang is written in general, and it mostly means "ring" in Xizhou.

However, some people say that the local merchant here has the meaning of "reward", because the orchid snake is rare, and after the snake skin is peeled off by special means, it is as warm and moist as jade, and its luster is even more pleasant.

Hundreds of years ago, every year hunters and snake catchers went into the mountains wearing coir raincoats and hats and various protective gear and utensils, just to catch one orchid snake, which was worth a hundred taels of silver when sold in Pingcheng and other places.

That is already a wealth that many bankers and Han mud legs can't accumulate in their entire lives.

In fact, there are more than that. In my memory, only Chen Yu knows five or six kinds of references. Among them, there are "shang", which means snakes are ferocious. It is more refreshing, but it is just exaggerated to the point of death if you touch it.

After sorting out the memory in the past few months, these interesting anecdotes were collected in a corner, and I took them out to read from time to time, but I learned a lot about all kinds of weird rumors and wild things here, and I can be regarded as half a local.

It's just that the festival belongs to the festival, and Chen Yu didn't celebrate it.

The Lanshang Festival has been passed down for hundreds of years, so it is different now than it was at the beginning.Not only the connotation, but also the customs have changed.Now women live more, every this festival will buy blue and green two-color satin and tie it on the jujube tree and the threshold of the boudoir, and then order three or five servants to go to the nearby Taoist temple with strong incense to pray for blessings.

I can't go out by myself, so I have to make a copy at home.

The name of this thing is not often heard, but it is actually the dough mixed with water, and then wrapped in straw. The better condition will use high-quality fragrant wood, sandalwood, and even better, some spices and medicinal materials will be added.

Simmer slowly and wait for the system to be cooked.

At this point, the women in the boudoir will wear flowers and grease, and the dresses are exquisite.

If the person you like listens to the advice of the servants who are supposed to go to offer incense, and honestly picks the colorful satin, you can exchange for a piece of fragrant, soft and delicious food.

If you are stubborn... If this book falls into the hands of others, it is no wonder that others seize love.

"The beautiful Lanshang Festival has been turned into Valentine's Day, people's hearts are not old!"

Chen Yu walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked at the branches of the peach tree.

How about going back to the original and doing it according to the Lanshang Festival recorded in the ancient books?
In ancient times, the orchid snake was not hung on the top of the tree with colored satin. After all, in the eyes of the natives of Xizhou at that time, the skin of the orchid snake was not inferior at all to the silk and satin that came later, and even more beautiful. point.

……

Of course he didn't.

It's one thing that the orchid snake is hard to find, and Chen Yu really didn't want to bloody the peach tree and the gate of the courtyard, so he added a few Daoist books, killing and committing karma for no reason, this kind of practice is somewhat hurtful with.

This kind of thing is not something that cannot be done, but it should be done less.

Doing it without purpose and without necessity will only indulge yourself in the low-level pleasure of killing.That is to say, the bloodthirsty that the world often says.

It's a disease that needs to be cured.

However, Chen Yu didn't have this disease. He stayed on the mountain to study Taoist scriptures every day and study all kinds of things. Compared with these miscellaneous things, he still wanted to travel far and wide one day with mountains and seas and clouds.

To cultivate the Tao, you have to follow your own heart.

And true cultivation requires a higher level, understanding, letting go of indifferent thoughts and delusions, and obtaining the only obsession. What's more, in the practice of reciting day after day, changing the obsession into one's own thinking desired shape.

Chen Yu asked himself that he hadn't reached that level yet. There are some people with profound Taoism in any world, which cannot be measured by cultivation, inner energy and martial arts.

It is a kind of self-analysis and cognition.

Eliminate distracting thoughts and strengthen your heart.In other words, these people are almost in epiphany all the time, even if this insight is limited to the mind and somewhat illusory.

However, this is what he is after now.If the spirit needs to be transformed, it needs to be more enlightened, and more epiphany is needed, otherwise, there will be a hurdle lying on top, which will always be insurmountable.

If you read well, you can understand your mind, and you can understand your nature. If you understand your nature, your consciousness may not suddenly advance by leaps and bounds, but the spiritual field is mysterious at its own level.

The internal logic may exist, but after his long experience and perception, it is definitely not the same as the common sense of the external reality.

When the mind is strong, the spirit will definitely rise.

Naturally, the particularly solid kind.
