Chapter 82: Yin Yang and Five Elements
Ji Liangchen, who was guarding the door on the second floor, saw Miaofu coming over and turned his head away in embarrassment. Miaofu was thinking about the contents of the elixir and didn't notice him at first. When the little girl raised her eyes, she happened to bump into him.
Dodge eyes.
Miaofu was confused for a moment. He was very enthusiastic about her at first, so why did he have such an expression now? Is there something he is hiding? Hehe, we will find out more when we are free later.
As everyone knows, after Miaofu understood the situation, she started the era of little overlords between senior and junior. From time to time, she pranked Ji Liangchen, Ji Mingyao, and Ji Mingyuan until they couldn't laugh or cry, and she also repaired them until they were submissive. However, this was all
This is a topic for later, so I won’t go into details here.
At this time, Miao Fu didn't think much and went upstairs briskly.
On the third floor of the attic, Lao Ji had just finished refining an elixir. After taking a deep breath, he saw Miao Fu walking up.
Lao Ji said with a smile: "Disciple, are you tired? How much have you read?" He thought that it would be great for a child of twelve or thirteen years old to read the first two pages of "Taibai Xuanwu Danlu", and even more
Don't expect her to remember those boring contents.
Miao Fu stretched her arms and said happily: "Master, it's really tiring to read this kind of book, but I finally finished it."
Lao Ji was stunned for a moment, swallowed hard, and said in surprise: "Have you... read it? How much have you remembered?"
Miao Fu saw the master's funny look and thought he was looking for her own happiness again, so she said mischievously: "Guess."
Lao Ji shook his head and curled his lips: "Even if you read it briefly, it's pretty good. If you want to remember those contents, just take your time in the future and don't think about eating a fat baby in one bite."
Miaofu said unconvinced: "Master, you look down on me so much. I've looked at you twice and you're still looking at me very carefully."
"What?!..." Lao Ji opened his mouth wide, feeling incredible.
Miao Fu chuckled and said lightly: "How much do you have to remember? Master, I will recite it to you." After saying that, she handed over the alchemy in her hand.
Lao Ji was already in a mess. Few people could remember the contents of a thick alchemy book, let alone two or three hours, or even two or three days. He said in disbelief: "My good disciple... read it from memory to memory."
At this time, Miaofu's little head was tilted up, her small hands behind her back, and she began to recite "Taibai Xuanwu Dan Lu" like a little old master: "The Qinling Valley contains Taibai, and the basalt flames are near the tiger's den. The King of Medicine lives in seclusion in Dan.
Dou, Tangyu recuperate to extend your life..."
Lao Ji bulged his eyes, listened carefully, and pointed to read. After more than an hour, his young apprentice actually memorized the entire "Taibai Xuanwu Alchemy Record" word for word!
Lao Ji was so shocked that he was speechless and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
After a while, he finally came to his senses, left Danlu behind, rushed to Miaofu, picked her up, and spun her around happily in the attic several times, laughing loudly and saying: "My dear disciple,
You are truly my little prodigy!”
Then, he put down Miaofu, turned around and ran back, picked up the Danlu on the ground, carefully patted the dust on it, and said distressedly: "Oh, I lost all my treasures. Unbelievable, unbelievable.
!”
Miaofu was so happy that she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear when she saw her master jumping around like crazy and silly.
At this time, Lao Ji looked up at the clear sky outside the attic window. Feeling that it was still early, he said to Miao Fu: "Disciple, sit down, I will tell you about alchemy now."
Miaofu happily walked to the small sky-blue futon and sat down.
Lao Ji walked to the corner of the attic, opened the lid of an iron cabinet, grabbed a few red and yellow stones the size of duck eggs, covered the cabinet again, and walked over slowly.
He threw two stones under the small alchemy furnace in front of Miao Fu, then put the remaining three stones at the bottom of his own alchemy furnace, and said: "Disciple, this stone is called the fire stone, and it is used to make elixirs."
Start the fire."
"Although flame stones are not rare, they are still valuable and not easy to find. My two boxes of stones are specially provided by the African Department of the Ministry of Commerce. They are all collected from mining areas in Africa."
"There are also a small number of fire stone mines in our country, mainly concentrated in Huoshan and Yushan. In these two mountainous areas, troops are stationed where the fire stone is discovered. This thing has many military uses, so the military's logistics
The department has some reservations.”
Seeing that Miaofu was listening attentively, Lao Ji's addiction to teaching took over. He said: "Disciple, according to our ancestors, this world is a unity of mutual opposition and interconnection, which is the content of the law of yin and yang."
"All things in the world are composed of the changes in the operation of the five basic substances of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and are part of the law of the five elements. Moreover, thousands of substances develop, evolve, or decay and destroy in the mutual generation and restraint of these five elements."
Miao Fu seemed to have heard some tricks and asked curiously: "Master, does the Yin Yang and Five Elements have anything to do with alchemy?"
Lao Ji nodded happily and said: "My disciple is smart, you asked well. Yin Yang and the Five Elements are not only closely related to alchemy, but also permeate the entire world, whether it is tangible things or intangible academic theories, including folk divination and fortune telling.
And our Eastern medicine and calendar are all closely related to Yin-Yang and the Five Elements."
He took a sip of tea and said: "The ancestors said that yin and yang and the five elements complement each other. The five elements must combine with yin and yang, and yin and yang must combine with the five elements. The great laws of yin and yang are reflected by the small laws of the five elements, including the laws of time, the laws of space, etc.
Together they are called the laws of the world."
"In legends, there are powerful warriors who can use certain laws to change people and events, and even use the power of laws to fight against enemies and even affect the world. But this world can also be said to be nature, which is the culmination of all things.
It can only influence or relatively change it, but it cannot fundamentally shake it - because it is the boss."
The more Miao Fu listened, the more she felt it. She seemed to sense something, some close in front of her eyes, and more far away in the horizon, in the vast universe.
At this time, Lao Ji seemed to be intoxicated by Yin Yang and the Five Elements. He couldn't help but shake his head and said: "In medical terms, the Yin Yang and Five Elements, the human body is a natural balance and self-repairing system of the Bagua and the movement of the Five Elements."
"It is said that warriors can possess a certain five-element attribute during martial arts training. For example, fire-attribute warriors have characteristics such as strong aggression and violent temperament."
When he said this, Lao Ji showed a disappointed look. He sighed: "Oh, it's a pity, those are all legends. The more extensive and profound the Five Elements theory is, the more it is used, it becomes narrower and weaker. In medicine, it can only be used now.
It is used to diagnose people’s physical diseases.”
Lao Ji smiled awkwardly and said: "Disciple, I've gone too far just by saying this. In alchemy, medicinal materials must not only be selected according to the recipe, but also the factors of yin and yang and the five elements must be taken into consideration, and the herbs must be extracted and extracted in sequence according to their mutually reinforcing and mutually reinforcing properties.
Refined in the furnace."
At this time, Lao Ji picked up a plant with purple flowers next to him and said: "This yew flower is a medicinal material with Yin wood properties."
Then, he picked up another red fruit and said: "This red pomelo fruit is a yang-type fire-attribute medicinal material. Although the yin and yang are in conflict with each other, wood and fire complement each other, and there are other medicinal materials that neutralize and balance them, so they are in harmony with each other."
It’s okay.”
"Otherwise, if the medicinal materials are used indiscriminately or the medicinal materials are put into the furnace in the wrong order, the elixir will not be formed or a poisonous elixir will be produced. This will definitely lead to the terrible consequences of paralysis, dementia or even death of the person who uses the elixir."
At this time, Miaofu suddenly remembered what her father once said, and blurted out: "Mutual growth is development, mutual restraint is coordination."
"Huh?" Lao Ji heard what she said and praised greatly: "Haha, good disciple, that's well said! That's the truth."
"If only mutual generation provides the driving force and possibility of development, but there is no mutual restraint to ensure the control and coordination of the development of things, things will be reversed in reverse, and big problems will arise. Mutual development, mutual restraint and coordination, this theory is very useful when used in alchemy.
Very suitable.”
When Miao Fu saw Lao Ji praising her, she blushed and asked, "Master, can you start teaching me alchemy?" Although she liked listening to Lao Ji talk about yin and yang and the five elements, she couldn't wait to make alchemy even more.
Chapter completed!
