Silver dishes serve as plates, gold vessels serve as bowls, and the table is filled with delicacies.
The half-foot-long jade bottle holds as much wine as a cup, and the royal wine is given to it by the emperor, and the cup overflows.
Although he is not the emperor, Wushi Taoist enjoys it more than the emperor today. Not only did he call his disciples to prepare this state banquet for him, but even the utensils were specially used for the royal family.
In his words, if you want to enjoy it, then you will have a complete set.
Another thing is, "Those gold bowls, silver plates, etc., are not used even once in several years. If they are left in the warehouse to eat dust, that is called a waste."
The last sentence silenced everyone, "You are all my disciples and disciples. As long as you don't go out and talk nonsense, who knows about this matter?"
Yes, if anyone tries to persuade him again, if this matter really gets spread, he will be suspected of not being able to get rid of it.
Who dares to persuade? Who dares to persuade me?
Several old Taoist priests had no choice but to set things up in person, busy in and out of the kitchen in the inner hall.
Yes, the place Wu Shi chose to eat was not in the dining room, but in the kitchen, a small room next to the large stove. According to his words, the fireworks inside the dishes are the strongest when they are just taken off the stove. What is lacking in delicacies like mountains and seas is the fireworks.
"Hey, Mr. Mei, I have indeed eaten a lot of good things from you over the years. Let's settle this meal today." Taoist Wushi stretched out his paw, oh no, he stretched out his hand to pick up the gold utensils on the table. He picked up a few old cicada cakes and put them into his mouth. He looked at Mei Si'en and said with a look on his face, "Look at this table. They are all great tonics. You can't lose!"
In terms of market price, a random dish on the table was worth more than a hundred times what he had stolen in the past.
Mesien didn't seem to care. He was still immersed in the joy of finding his nephew. He casually replied: "Didn't you eat after entering the city? I'm not hungry, you can eat by yourself."
Wine and meat were nothing more than food for the intestines, and he had never been indulging in them, otherwise he wouldn't have left all the good things to Wu Shi these years. He had listened to the chatter from the old Taoists of the Zhan family before, but now all he could think about was going down the mountain to meet his nephew as soon as possible.
"Zhan Qian, Zhan Li, and you, Zhan Na, etc., please come over and eat a little, don't just watch." After sitting alone at the table for a while, Wu Shi finally realized his conscience and thought of the things next to him. The six old disciples who serve here.
"Don't dare. My disciples don't dare to eat at the same table as Grand Master." Zhan Li took a step forward and replied with a wry smile.
Zhan Qian and others nodded in agreement after hearing this. Although Taoist disciples don't attach as much importance to power and etiquette as the secular world, the seniority of the person in front of them is so high that they are naturally awe-inspiring.
However, after seeing Wu Shi's eating posture, they probably knew why Master Yitai/Uncle Taishi had undergone such a big change in his body shape in the past thirty years.
As long as there are any living beings in the world who can eat, no matter whether they are pigs, cows or humans, there is no one who is thin.
Taoist Wushi glanced at a few people and said with a smile: "You are still polite to me, come on, open your mouths!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his greasy hands to grab a handful of old cicada cakes from the golden bowl, and flicked them with his sleeves in the faces of his six disciples. In the blink of an eye, Zhan Qian and others felt something like a peanut flying into their eyes. Before they could react, it went into their mouths and down their throats.
It's all done in one go, and you won't even be able to taste it.
Zhanli and the others all looked dumbfounded, thinking, "Grand Master/Grand Master Uncle, why don't you let us have a taste of it!" As for the "Qiankun Ding" magical skill displayed by the old Taoist, they did not know it. Not really surprised. After all, Wu Shi could even do such unnatural things as "rejuvenate himself", so any achievements in martial arts would be normal.
In the Taoist sect, immortality is the right path, and no matter how sophisticated your martial arts skills are, it is just the way to the end of the law.
"Well, you have eaten this rare and strange food now, so you have to be more careful with your mouth." Taoist Wushi raised his head and grinned. After speaking, he lowered his head and grabbed a heart-shaped object from a soup bowl. Bite it down hard.
There are thousands of miles of snowfields in the Snow Country, and there are eye-catching white tigers on the snowfields. Some doctors say that the heart of the white tiger can be dried and used as medicine to cure angina pectoris. When the Snow Kingdom and Dahua were on good terms, the court exchanged rituals, and the gifts offered by the Snow Kingdom often contained the heart of a white tiger.
Zhenwu Guan has relied on the imperial court for more than a hundred years, so it is not surprising that the white tiger heart is the treasure of Guanmen.
While he was enjoying his meal, he heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from outside the door, and knew that his disciple was coming.
Qingxuan gently opened the door and saw Wu Shi Lao Dao with one foot on the stool, holding a white tiger heart in his hands and chewing it with relish. The oily foam had already wet his clothes.
There was silence for several breaths in the kitchen. Except for Wu Shi, who was concentrating on eating, everyone else was stunned.
"Master?" There was obvious uncertainty in Qingxuan's voice. Although someone had informed him about this, he still couldn't believe it. Thirty-four years later, my master is not only alive, but he has also returned to Guanmen!
Zhan Ming and Zhan Wei also hurriedly bowed down, held the ceremony and said respectfully: "Disciple Zhan Ming/Zhan Wei, pay homage to the ancestor!"
Different from Kong Xuanzi's registered identity, Qingxuan was the direct and direct disciple of Taoist Wushi, and the old Taoist in front of him was their great master.
"Hey, the two little Taoist boys who were around me back then have gray beards now." Taoist Wushi put down the remaining half of the white tiger heart in his hand, looked at the two of them and said, "Zhan Wei, especially you! You are not beating up the little boy. Do you just like the art of refining medicine? Have you been living your life without learning any skills these years? Why do you look older than that boy Zhan Ming? "
After listening to his master reprimanding him, Zhan Wei hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed his head and replied: "Back to my master, my disciples have not dared to waste their time in these years. I have learned nothing so far. I am afraid that my disciples are too qualified." If you are dull, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
Today's great national master in Dahua was scolded by a fat-faced bald man to the point where he fell to his knees, and even said that he was stupid. No one would believe his words.
"Bullshit!" Wu Shi suddenly stood up and walked in front of the two of them. He looked at Qingxuan, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I guess it must be your dishonest lazy master who didn't teach him well."
After hearing this, Qingxuan could only smile and bow slightly to salute.
The gift of apology. Over the years, he has really given less instruction to his two apprentices. If they work together, they probably won't spend half as much time as he did on Mei Yuanchen.
"You kid, you showed off your arrogance in front of me after you created the longevity skill. Now look, your hair is white and your brows are gray." Taoist Wushi looked at the silver-haired disciple in front of him and actually started to gloat. Hehe He smiled and said, "As a teacher, do you see it? I told you back then that the human body's internal strength has its limits, and it is difficult to reach the great road even if you practice to the highest level. Those who seek immortality will ultimately have to rely on external forces. There are endless ways to supplement external forces. Endless."
Zhan Ming carefully interjected: "Master, Master, his hair suddenly turned gray last year, and he was always in his prime before."
Seeing his beloved disciple speaking for him, Qingxuan nodded slightly, with a happy face, as if he was saying to Wu Shi: "Master, did you see that I have a disciple who can speak for me, do you have one? You don't!"
"Oh, have you been distracted from your practice recently?" Wu Shi leaned close to Qingxuan's ear and asked softly. Seeing him smiling and saying nothing, he thought to himself again, "In the past few decades, I have traveled all over the world as a teacher, and finally I have explored the great method and created a new way. I have developed the magic technique of 'creating all things'. Hehe, if you are willing to learn it, I can teach you."
When he returned to the capital this time, besides accompanying Mei Si'en, he mainly wanted to return to Zhenwu Temple to find a successor to inherit his mantle. Since he created this magical skill, he has been looking for someone to learn it. I originally wanted to teach Mei Si'en, but that kid was not martial arts-minded before, and he had no interest in Taoism, let alone the Taoist aspiration. Later, he learned that the Mei Mansion was massacred. Although he had a desire for martial arts in his hatred, he was too paranoid. Learning "all things are born" with such a state of mind was tantamount to searching for ideas.
Besides Mei Si'en, the only one he could think of was Qingxuan.
"Come on, come on, you guys should come closer, listen more, memorize it first, then think about it carefully when you go back, and slowly realize it. You may not know what you will realize in the future." Wu Shi waved to Zhan Li and the other six people. road.
His disciples, disciples, and grandsons are all here. He is very interested today and is about to give a sermon.
"I ask you, why do people lose their appearance, damage their internal organs, become exhausted, and end their lives?" Wu Shi asked each one, "Why?"
"Zhan Ming? Why?"
"Zhan Qian, do you know?"
"Zhanli, tell me?"
Several people either hesitated or looked embarrassed, but only Zhan answered: "Master once said that life, old age, illness and death are all due to the aging and decay of the body, resulting in the failure of the organs and the loss of luck. Old skin causes disease. Wrinkles and spots, old muscles and weak trunks, old bones and hunched back, old heart and shortness of breath, old eyes and blinded vision. In severe cases, skin rot will lead to scabies, muscle rot will lead to sores, and bone rot will If you suffer from paralysis, if your heart rots, you will suffer from strangulation, if your eyes rot, you will go blind. If it gets worse, it will be nothing more than death."
"It's just the same old talk, the same old tune." Taoist Wushi pursed his lips and chuckled, "Then has your master ever taught you how to protect the body from aging, deterioration, and deterioration?"
Zhan Wei's eyes froze and he didn't know where to start. As early as more than ten years ago, Qingxuan had taught him about the Immortality Kung Fu. Unfortunately, at that time, he did not have a deep understanding of the Taoism and it was difficult to understand its subtleties. In the future, there would be very few opportunities to learn like this.
Wu Shi quickly understood the reason, walked to him, and said with a smile: "Qingxuan, this kid, has been impatient since he was a child. No matter how difficult it is, he will not teach you three times, hehe."
Qingxuan stood up and replied: "Master, you still understand me. Zhan Wei is not talented enough to practice the longevity technique. Back then, I said I would not accept disciples, but you had to give me two of them."
With his temperament, he is only in his thirties, how can he be willing to accept and teach as a disciple? But at that time, Taoist Wu Shi had no intention of contemplating matters and was anxious to spread his position as contemplator. However, for hundreds of years, the position of master of the Zhenwu Temple has never been passed on to someone without a disciple. In order to block the discussion within the temple, he was forced to accept two people as his disciples.
Not many people in Guanzhong know about this old incident.
"Go, go, go! Don't say it's useless!" Taoist Wushi spat at him a few times and then said, "Your longevity skill is not useless. Now that the children are here, you can choose the important one and say: , and let them listen and learn.”
Although Qingxuan often quarreled with his master, he actually respected him very much in his heart. He bowed his waist slightly and said loudly: "The human body contains yin and yang energy, which is stored in the Ren and Du meridians. There are also ten internal organs, It is guarded by the twelve meridians in the body. The Du Meridian controls the yang energy of the body, and is the sea of yang channels; the Ren Meridian, which controls the yin meridian of the body, is the sea of yin channels of the human body. The Foot Shaoyang governs the gallbladder, and the Foot Shaoyin governs the kidneys. Foot Jueyin governs the liver, Hand Taiyin governs the lungs, Hand Yangming governs the large intestine, Hand Taiyang governs the small intestine, Hand Shaoyin governs the heart, Foot Yangming governs the stomach, Foot Taiyin governs the spleen, and Foot Taiyang governs the bladder. In addition, there are also Hand Jueyin governing the bladder. The Yin Pericardium Meridian and the Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian of the Hand protect the heart and blood vessels of the person and protect against evil spirits. The key to the inner strength of the Longevity Kung Fu is to choose the right time every day for luck to flow between the meridians. For example, if there is insufficient movement during the child hour, The Yang meridian drives the internal energy to reciprocate between the forty-four acupoints. As time goes by, the air path becomes smooth and tough, which can protect the body from cold syndrome and scrofula. When it is ugly, it runs through the Foot Jueyin meridian. When the power is deep, the hernia will be gone. And the mind and spirit are calm, so that people will not suffer from liver fire... When the twelve meridians are completed, no evil in the world can enter the body, and all poisons in the body will be emptied with sweat, urine, and gas. No disease will enter the body, Then the human body will not deteriorate. All poisons will be eliminated, and the natural organs will not rot. If the air path is smooth, the qi will not be blocked, and the blood vessels will be open, so the strength will not be exhausted. The only person who can live forever is this ear."
In the kitchen, everyone stood quietly, seeming to be trying hard to remember every word Qingxuan said.
"Inappropriate! Inappropriate!" Taoist Wushi shook his head and refuted, "There are more than 600 acupoints in the body. It is very difficult to just identify these acupoints. It takes luck to penetrate them. Haha, there are not many people in the world today who can open up the Ren and Du meridians. The number of twenty. It is much more difficult to penetrate the meridians of the whole body than to open up the two meridians of Ren and Du. Your immortality skill relies too much on the talent of the practitioner. To ordinary people, it is just like the moon in the mirror, which cannot be seen or touched. Even if Once you learn it, it's hard to teach it to others. Sooner or later, it will be lost or lost. It's not good! It's not good! My 'All Things Are Born' is better!"
Without waiting for anyone to ask, he explained it himself: "The human body is old and rotten, causing the internal organs to fail, the luck to be lost, and the life to end. This is naturally right. Qingxuan's 'immortality skill' is an internal training method, but my "All Things are Born" is an external training method. There is essence between heaven and earth, but it is difficult for us to use it directly. On the contrary, some medicinal materials can absorb essence through the land. Over time, The longer the time, the more abundant the essence will be. And certain supplements are taken from medicinal materials all the year round, so a lot of essence is naturally stored in the body. Although the human body cannot directly absorb the essence from heaven and earth, it can be replenished by eating them. My all things The Sheng Gong method is to 'replace training with nourishment'. Hehe, to put it simply, it means constantly taking medicinal materials and supplements, and then using appropriate methods of transporting energy to inhale the essence contained in these medicinal materials and supplements into the viscera and body, thereby achieving the goals of the viscera. The effect of the instrument getting newer and the body becoming stronger. And the foundation of human beings is that the instrument is the foundation and Qi is the quality. If the essence of heaven and earth is constantly replenished, the foundation will be heavy and the life will be immortal! In ancient times, some idiots thought of extracting it from elixirs. Essence, in fact, after burning the cauldron and refining it, the essence in the medicine stone has already dispersed, so what’s the use of taking it? The best way to nourish your body is to supplement it with food!”
Can you live forever by eating?
Naturally, eating alone will not lead to immortality. What can make people immortal is to eat enough and good enough food, and use internal force to absorb essence from it, so that the organs and bodies can continue to regenerate. It sounds like the creation of all things is an extremely exquisite skill, but its harm is also quite obvious. Taking too much supplement, hey, Wu Shi is a case. Thinking back then, when he came down the mountain, the baggage on his body weighed no more than a hundred kilograms, and now, even if he was stripped naked, the baggage weighed on him would definitely weigh more than two hundred kilograms.
As soon as Taoist Wushi finished speaking, the kitchen became quiet and peaceful.
"Have you finished speaking?" Mesien asked calmly.
