Chapter 42 , Qingming leaves(1/2)
The sky had become dim at this time, and the pedestrians on the road gradually became sparse, but when Zhang Baoren walked to the intersection of his return home.
But I suddenly found that there was a lot of people in front of Zhaojialiang Store, and the long queues actually extended to the streets.
I couldn't help but feel a little curious, so I asked a young man in line, "What's going on here? Why are there so many people?"
The man looked at Zhang Baoren impatiently, just about to say something... but his mood immediately became calm, and the words changed when they were talking.
He explained gently: "Master, you don't know anything. I heard that the grain fields in the south of the city were famined, and no one in ten grains were left. This year's new grain cannot be collected, and the old grain will be cut off soon.
Now there is basically no grain shops in the entire Babaili City, and only the Zhao family still has grain storage now."
As he spoke, he brought some advice, "If you don't rob it, you may not be able to buy it even if you want to."
Zhang Baoren thanked him for his kindness, and then explained with a smile: "I just came back from 'Yuma City'. The land there is still good, and there is some food..."
The man said skeptically, "Really?"
The others who were queuing up their ears and looked at Zhang Baoren in surprise.
After Zhang Baoren explained repeatedly, these people finally believed it.
They all looked at the direction of the grain store with hatred and kept cursing.
But no one walked away.
"Be prepared for any trouble, and would rather suffer a small loss than be hungry when the disaster really comes."
Zhang Baoren figured out the psychology of these people, then sighed and left alone.
He was carrying his hands on his back, shaking the whisk, and uttering vague words such as the rise and fall of the rise and fall, and he suddenly heard familiar whispers vaguely from the high gate compound.
Subconsciously, I looked inside and saw that within the courtyard wall, between the mountains, forests and pavilions, a group of people dressed in gorgeous clothes were chatting and laughing.
Among them are a skinny old man and a girl wearing a blue and white Taoist robe.
Zhang Baoren sneered, "Bah... shameless thing."
…
It was already evening after returning to the Taoist temple. He took a break for a while and then started the work he had prepared for a long time.
Because "Qingming Liquid" does not require dewdrops that are generated when the yin and yang are alternating, so there is no need to wait for a specific opportunity.
It can be modulated immediately.
So even though the night had already arrived after he woke up, he still didn't wait any longer.
However, there is still a sense of ritual. First, cleanse your hands, cleanse your face, and correct your clothes, and then, according to tradition, I ate three incense sticks of "Zhenwu Emperor"...
Finally, I came to the courtyard with a candlestick, swept the whisk and swept out a clean and quiet place.
Then sit cross-legged at the table.
Use two extraordinary main ingredients: "hollow willow leaves" and "colored divine cow tears".
As well as a series of auxiliary materials such as Dendrobium, Cassia seed, honeysuckle, summer dead grass, Qianliguang, etc., are placed on the small table in turn.
Take out the broken bowl for eating, put all the auxiliary ingredients into the bowl in order according to the specific amount, and then take a chopstick to stir it evenly.
Then I got a bowl of gray-brown powder.
Then it was a key step... Take out a small porcelain bottle containing the "Colorful Divine Cow Tears", pull out the plug and pour it down...
The colorful tears rolled out like mercury beads, without any residue inside the porcelain bottle, and did not touch the inner wall.
A "colored sacred cow tear" is two drops. Even if the eyes and tears of cows are much bigger than those of humans, the two tears are at most the size of broad beans.
Compared with half a bowl of dry powder, the difference is too far.
Tears dripped into the powder and instantly sank into it and were absorbed.
It's like giving it for nothing.
But Zhang Baoren, who had successfully prepared the medicine once, was not depressed. He looked at the bowl seriously and did not let go of any changes.
Sure enough, after waiting for a quarter of an hour, a little darker color than the gray-brown dry powder appeared in the bowl.
Then it spread a little bit, and soon half a bowl of dry powder turned into a residue that seemed to be soaked in some liquid...
Another quarter of an hour later, the half bowl of damp medicine residue gradually turned into half a bowl of medicine, as if it was some poison, looking at the colorful and fluid medicine liquid.
After another quarter of an hour of precipitation, the colorful and thick liquid gradually became as clear as water, but when it looked closely, it seemed a little thicker than water, with a transparent medicinal liquid flowing through it with colorful light.
It looks like fairy liquid nectar.
Zhang Baoren used his hands to cover the light of the candlelight...
Even in the darkness, without the reflection of sunlight, there are colorful lights flashing in the bowl. Although it is dimmer than the simple "colorful divine tears of cows", it has a certain meaning of clarity.
When you look at it, you will feel that this thing is extraordinary.
Half a bowl of dry powder was converted into half a bowl of transparent liquid with a little viscosity and radiating colorful light.
This made people who saw the changes in it feel extremely magical, and of course, Zhang Baoren felt even more relieved... This "Qingming Liquid" has a little more visual vision than the "exorcism of evil and stagnation".
The liquid in this bowl is "Qingming Liquid". According to the records above the prescription, using this liquid alone can also cleanse your eyes and increase the speed of "dividing the walls".
But it is far less effective than adding "hollow willow leaves".
He breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out the "hollow willow leaves" that he had taken a lot of effort to obtain.
Although it has been taken for two days, it still looks green and there is silver light flowing above the leaf bones.
Zhang Baoren took out one from a stack of leaves and then put all the remaining eight pieces into the bowl.
Eight green and verdant willow leaves floating on the transparent medicinal liquid.
After a while... the medicine liquid in the bowl became more transparent and clear, and the colorful light in the medicine liquid gradually faded.
The medicine gradually became like water, but the edges of the eight willow leaves floating above were stained with a hint of color.
At this point, "Qingming Liquid" or more accurately "Qingming Leaf", a secret medicine specifically targeting the magical power of "Dimend Enlightenment" has been completed.
The method of preparing secret medicine is still so simple, so simple that even if a person without any cultivation level can complete it as long as the materials are complete.
As for the specific effect...
Zhang Baoren took out two "Qingming Leaves" from the bowl, put them on his eyebrows, and then closed his eyes and concentrated...
But after a moment, a cool feeling flowed into the eyes. The eyes felt itchy, but the itchy feeling was overwhelmed by the coolness, making an indescribable sense of comfort fill the eyes.
At the same time, accompanied by this comfort, there is also a mysterious wave and power that condenses and ripples in the eyes.
When the mind is certain, it instantly enters the "real self" state, the consciousness suddenly accelerates, and the perception is infinitely amplified...
The changes in the eyes became clearer in my heart. The coolness was like an extremely special catalyst. Under its stimulation, some wonderful changes occurred in both eyes.
The eyes are softened, activated, alienated... At the same time, this change is not only aimed at the eyeball structure, but even more essential "spirits" have an impact.
Practicing the eyes is very difficult, just like a carving on a needle.
As a window to observe the world, the eyes cannot tolerate any flaws or omissions, and no error can occur.
Otherwise, irreversible damage will inevitably occur.
Even though Zhang Baoren has had a very deep understanding of the essence of the magical power of "Secret View", he still needs to be very cautious about his true practice...
But now, it is easy to practice in this state in vain.
Compared to the past, it is like kneading a glass into a fixed shape, and kneading a piece of plasticine into a fixed shape.
Zhang Baoren understood that this mainly comes from the power of the "colored divine cow tears".
If this alienation against both eyes is ignored, the final result will be unpredictable.
A very strange ability may be born in both eyes, or it may not be much changed.
This is why some people have magical eyes after being dripped into their eyes by the "Five-Colored Divine Cow Tears", while others have no abnormal reactions.
If this alienation is guided and adjusted by knowledge, a definite result can be obtained.
This is the reason why "Five Colored Divine Cow Tears" is the natural medicine for sacrificing and practicing eye exercises.
Zhang Baoren's situation at this time was different from that of ordinary people.
There is also an extremely mysterious power in his eyes, as if it is a kind of fluctuation, as if it is an energy; it gives people the feeling that it is both full of everything, as if it can encompass everything, and it is also empty...
This is the power in the "hollow willow leaves" that is penetrated into the eyes, this is the most essential power of the magical power of "seen walls".
At the same time, this is also one of the most fundamental forces in the world, representing the power of space.
Relying on the knowledge recorded in the "Secret View" and using the extremely precise control power brought by the transcendent consciousness of the "Real Self" to carry out a very complex and mysterious transformation of his eyes.
The power of space contained in the eyes is integrated with the eyes with an extremely exquisite structure.
The eyes feel itchy and cool, with a depraved comfort.
If you open his eyelids, you will find that his pupils are colorful at this time, exuding a colorful light.
But if the inside of his eyeball is enlarged countless times, it will be found that its internal structure is undergoing rapid and complex changes due to the rapid and complex increase in temporary shaping.
If you continue to go deeper, or even look at it from another dimension or another level, you will find that the inspiration in your eyes is sometimes prosperous and sometimes weak.
There was a silver light wandering around and jumping constantly...
To be continued...
