"Since this place is the 'Unskilled Area', what can you practice here?" Shu Kang was curious about how these two disciples could achieve the purpose of "cultivation" when faced with the temptation of so many delicious foods. .
"Reply to Master! What we practice here is the word 'forbearance', which means to hold back our desires and do not interfere with the growth of any plants here. Moreover, all the plants here are extremely limited in number. , we can only allow it to grow and decline naturally, and we must not have any improper thoughts in spirit, mind, or entity. We must respect and protect their origin, which is our cultivation. We must not have any gluttony, taste, or overeating. , overeating, let alone interfere with their natural growth on your own initiative." Jiao Yue bowed her hands respectfully to answer.
"In other words, you have never tasted any of the many fruits here?" Shu Kangexing opened his eyes wide and stared at the two loyal disciples who were so obedient that they were "silly, stupid, stupid".
"Reply to Master! It's true. We have never violated this precept since we were stationed in this group for cultivation." Yao Qiao also answered seriously.
"'No technique, no action', do nothing. You really do 'do nothing, so everything is good'! However, how can you ensure that these foods are good for the last person who enjoys them? , is it 'safe'? Don't you need to test it yourself? If you use yourself as a test, shouldn't you be able to take a few pills? Why are there such strange regulations? Is this set by humans?" Shu Kang laughed. I was trying to find a reason for my two disciples to eat these fruits with "peace of mind". Unexpectedly, I dug deep into the root cause. It turned out that I was still the same person back then. The master of the "magic world" was so strange. the rule of.
Jiao Yue and Yao Qiao glanced at each other. When they heard the last sentence, the corners of their mouths secretly curved upward at the same time. They quickly suppressed the smiles that could not be hidden and resumed their attitude of listening respectfully and rigorously. expression.
"Master, I have to go down a little further to find out whether these foods are safe to eat." Jiaoyue turned sideways again, stretched out one arm, and made another "leading the way" gesture.
Shukang is curious about the next paragraph, what kind of training ground can test the safety of all food? So, he nodded in agreement and walked forward with Jiao Yue leading the way.
The shade of green plants is still there, but compared with the free and pure "no-shutsu" area just now, before we reach the next road, we can already feel a heat wave in the air. .
"The domain of red flame burning, steaming and broiling".
A wooden sign of the same shape has the name of this area written on it.
Shukang guessed the answer as soon as he saw the meaning of the word: "This is the 'high temperature processing and sterilization area'!"
The two disciples had never heard of this word, so they asked in unison: "Master, what is 'sterilization'?"
"Oh! 'Destroy' means 'destroy'; 'bacteria' means 'harmful bacteria'; Okay, you don't have to rush to ask, I will continue to tell you what 'bacteria' are. Although we can't see it with the naked eye However, around us, including ourselves and inside our bodies, there are countless extremely tiny little things everywhere. They are all individual little beings, and there are more types than we can imagine. I don’t know how many times, humans have given them a unified name called “bacteria”, and when these bacteria live around us and in our bodies, we are not aware of their existence at all, but they have a negative impact on our bodies. Well, some are beneficial, such as helping to digest food better; some are harmful, such as some causing suppuration, inflammation, and sores in certain parts of our body, and some can directly destroy our body. Many diseases occur in body tissues, so we need to increase the temperature to kill these bad bacteria that are harmful to us. Many bacteria cannot survive at high temperatures. Our bodies also know this, so, Once we have a cold, the brain will issue instructions to raise the temperature of the body to kill those bad bacteria. At this time, people have a 'fever'. In the same way, when we are initially processing the ingredients, We are not sure whether the invisible 'bad bacteria' inside will cause harm to us after we eat them, so the most common processing method adopted is the 'high temperature sterilization' mentioned here, that is, The "Red Flame Burning, Steaming and Roasting Technique" written on the card, "Red Flame" is fire. Fire is used to heat ingredients. Whether it is burning, steaming, stewing, frying or grilling, it all has one purpose: to improve the environment. The temperature will kill those harmful bacteria, so that we can ensure that the food is harmless to the body when eaten. Do you understand this? "
Shukang didn't wait for them to ask more questions one by one, so he simply made a "skewer" of these answers himself. He estimated that these two "silly and short-tempered" people should be able to understand.
"I understand, master!" Jiao Yue was very impressed and nodded her head.
"But, master, how high does this high temperature need to be? How long does it last? Is it always maintained at the same high temperature, or is it inserted from a low temperature and gradually increased to a high temperature? What if it is accidentally injured? , what should we do if even the good bacteria are wiped out? Why do people feel dizzy or faint when their brains have a fever? The many heating techniques you just mentioned: when, what kind, what amount, what technique, and How will we distinguish and implement them one by one?" Yao Qiao had far more "I don't understand" than the senior sister, and she fired a series of questions at her like a barrage.
"Isn't there anything said here?" Shukang began to suspect that the last time he came here was not to set up a sign to mark the ground. He was clearly "digging a hole" for himself, and he was just waiting to "fill it" in person. !
"Back to Master! Last time, you just demarcated the area here and erected this sign. Forgive the disciples for their stupidity. They can only practice according to the words. Therefore, you set up the open fire place, dark embers place, and water entry place in the garden without authorization. We have been practicing the "Red Flame Steaming Technique" everywhere and in the open air, but we have not received your guidance. We have practiced these four techniques on our own for more than ten years, but have made no progress. In addition to maintaining this place year after year. There is no progress beyond the extreme high temperature state. Now that I have endured the harm of high temperature together with my master, I have no progress in my skills. It is really because we are not good at academics, have unclear understanding, and act stupidly. Master, please forgive me and punish me!" Jiao! Yue told the truth and showed the master the results of their "self-study" over the years.
