Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 906 Realm
Later, Wu Zhanzhan gave detailed instructions on the layout of the pots and stoves and other details.

Ding Ermiao nodded, wrote them down one by one, and asked Li Weinian to send Wu Zhanzhan back to the hotel to rest, while he took Wan Shugao and set about arranging everything.

After everything was done, Ding Ermiao took a bath and changed clothes, burned incense and meditated in the quiet room, striving to reach a state where the altar was empty and everything was forgotten, so as to welcome the upcoming ceremony.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Ding Ermiao just meditates during the day and sleeps at night, eating vegetarian food and rice, and keeping his mind pure.

Early in the morning, before the sun had risen, Wu Zhanzhan arrived at Ding Ermiao's rental house on time.

Looking at Ding Ermiao's eyes and mental state, Wu Zhanzhan frowned and said, "Not yet. I'll come back and see you in four days."

"What, four more days?" Ding Ermiao, who was meditating, jumped up, took Wu Zhanzhan's arm and said, "Junior sister, my time is very tight, how about we just start in a haphazard way?"

Wu Zhanzhan threw away his arm and walked around Ding Ermiao twice, sneering but saying nothing.

"Junior sister, what do you mean?" Ding Ermiao felt terrified when Wu Zhanzhan looked at her.He thought to himself, even if you go on a blind date, you don't have to look at people so greedily, right?
On the side, Gu Qinglan, Ji Xiaoxiao and Wan Shugao Li Weinian didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Wu Zhanzhan's gourd, and they looked equally confused.

"Ding Ermiao, I'm a little doubtful whether you are a Taoist." Wu Zhanzhan said suddenly and without a clue.

Ding Ermiao had a black line on his head: "What do you mean, junior sister, please clarify."

"Hehe... If just now, I said that after four days, you don't have such a big reaction, but just let it go, then it means that you have calmed down and can start."

Wu Zhanzhan continued to pace and said: "But your reaction is just like a monkey having its tail cut off. It is irritable. In this state, you must not identify the owner of the magic weapon."

Uh..., Ding Ermiao's mind dinged as she seemed to realize something.

"Seeing mountains is mountains and water is water is the first state of mind. That is your current state." Wu Zhanzhan said slowly like a mentor:

"What does it mean that the spiritual platform is empty and clear, forgetting both things and myself? In fact, that is the second state of human mind. Seeing mountains is not mountains, seeing water is not water. The mountains are not high, the water is not deep, and honor and disgrace are not shocked. ... Do you understand? ?”

Gu Qinglan and Ji Xiaoxiao looked at each other in confusion. It seemed that ordinary people could not understand this philosophy.

Ding Ermiao thought seriously for a moment, then raised his head: "I don't understand."

"Pfft..." Wan Shugao laughed out loud.

Wu Zhanzhan shook his head, sighed again, and said:

"Let me tell you this... Because in your heart, you are too concerned about the recognition of the master of the magic weapon, so you know you have to relax, but you just can't relax. If you can reach the state of seeing the mountain and not the mountain, then the law In your opinion, the fact that the weapon recognizes its owner does not mean that the magical weapon recognizes its owner."

"The magic weapon recognizes its owner, not the magic weapon recognizes its owner, then, what is that?" Ding Ermiao almost collapsed and asked.

"That's..." Wu Zhanzhan paused and said, "That's a very common little thing, a little thing whose existence can be ignored."

"Uh..., I still don't quite understand." Ding Ermiao said with a bitter face.

Wu Zhanzhan stomped his feet in anger: "Oh, I just told you to relax!"

"Then you could have just said no. Why go around here and there?" Ding Ermiao plopped down on the futon, feeling that she had been tricked by Wu Zhanzhan. After some reasoning, she finally returned to her original point.

Ji Xiaoxiao and Gu Qinglan were also speechless, and Wan Shugao Geng had a teasing look on his face, half smiling but not smiling.

Wu Zhanzhan turned a blind eye to everyone's expressions and asked Ding Ermiao, "Tell me, what is the current owner of the magical weapon?"

"It's either that the magic weapon identifies its owner, or I take a shower with the corpse whip..." Ding Ermiao said angrily.

"Wrong!" Wu Zhanzhan waved his hand and said, "The magic weapon recognizes the master, and the magic weapon recognizes the master!"

Ding Ermiao finally broke down and said with a sad face: "Auntie, what exactly do you want to express?"

Wu Zhanzhan chuckled and said: "Look at the mountains as mountains, the water as water, see through all illusions, and return to nature. This is the highest state. Therefore, the magic weapon recognizes its owner, and the magic weapon recognizes its owner."

Thump thump... Ji Xiaoxiao, Gu Qinglan, and Wan Shugao Li Weinian all fell to the ground one after another...

"Don't you understand yet?" Wu Zhanzhan looked at Ding Ermiao and sneered.

Ding Ermiao rolled her eyes, stood up from the ground, and said:
"Master once told me that when practicing Kung Fu, you should go all out, and if there are no ghosts in front of you, it will seem like there are ghosts; but when you are catching ghosts, you should have a calm mind, and if there are ghosts in front of you, it will seem like there are no ghosts! The magic weapon recognizes its owner, and it also It can be said that the magical weapon does not recognize its owner, or it can be said that the magical weapon recognizes its owner. In fact, in the final analysis, he still recognizes the owner of the magical weapon..."

clap clap clap...

Wu Zhanzhan applauded, and then waved to Wan Shugao: "Put the pot and light the fire!"

Ding Ermiao felt happy, could she get over it like this?But he was afraid that Wu Zhanzhan would say that he was not stable or calm, so he remained calm and looked at the sky with empty eyes.

In the middle of the courtyard, a Bagua diagram has been drawn, and in the middle of the array diagram, a pot stove has been set up.

It's a traditional farm stove, with a large iron pot over one meter in diameter on top, and a stove door underneath for adding firewood.

Li Weinian also hired several master bricklayers from the construction site to build the cooking stove. Although it was crude, it was very strong.

Speaking of that iron pot, it took a lot of effort.

Because the round wooden barrel is already 1.2 meters in diameter. In the design, the wooden barrel is placed on the iron pot, so the iron pot needs to be at least 1.5 meters in diameter.

But there are no such big iron pots in ordinary sand-making stores.

Finally, after searching online, I learned that there was a closed food station nearby. There was a large pot inside that was used to boil water and scald pig hair.

So Ding Ermiao and Li Weinian broke into the food station in the middle of the night and stole the iron pot.

The firewood has been prepared and piled neatly behind the stove door like a hill.

As for the large camphor wood barrel, 28 cigarette-sized holes have been drilled around the wall of the barrel, arranged in 28 directions.

However, the 28 small holes are now temporarily blocked by small wooden sticks.

Now the round barrel is placed at the bottom of the pot, and most of the barrel is filled with clean water.

But in the iron pot, there was cinnabar water, and half a pound of arsenic and snake gall were put into the cinnabar water.

Directly opposite the cauldron, Wu Zhanzhan set up an altar with a table.

Under the altar is a one-meter-high platform made of red bricks. The overall area is slightly larger than the Eight Immortals Table.

From a height perspective, the altar is almost the same as a pot stove.
