80s Taoism

Chapter 9 Refining Water

Her arms couldn't hold her thighs, so Zhang Jiaohua was pulled ashore by her collar by her father. Jin Hu and the others also went ashore. The loach in the bamboo basket did not increase any more. In just a short while, there was actually a catty or two of loach in it. It's a pity that if the loach is sold in the town, it's only a few cents a catty.

People in the countryside don't have the awareness to sell things. Zhang Youping was carrying a bamboo basket of loach, but what he was thinking about was where to exchange a few taels of sesame oil. Sesame oil is rapeseed oil, which has a strong fragrance, but many people don't like the strong fragrance of rapeseed oil. But this kind of fragrance is best used to stir-fry loach, which has a fishy smell.

Because rice fields need to be planted for two seasons, if rapeseed is planted, it is easy to miss the farming time. Because rape is planted, paddy fields cannot be plowed in advance. Moreover, once the rape is short of water after harvesting, it is very likely that there is no way to transplant the seedlings in time. The output of rapeseed is not high, mainly to solve their own oil consumption. People in rural areas don't usually like to eat rapeseed oil, so not many rapeseed is planted every year.

Zhang Jiaohua's family ran out of sesame oil a long time ago, and now that they brought so many loach back home, they can eat several meals. But every time he needed to use sesame oil, it made Zhang Youping feel a little bit difficult.

After Zhang Jiaohua was lifted out of the ditch by her father, she seemed to be listless, looking listless all the way. No matter how father teased him, he didn't show a smile. Obviously he was still angry with his father.

Zhang Jiaohua was not happy, and Jinhu and the others were not happy either. They followed Zhang Jiaohua's example, pouting, drooping their heads, and walked weakly.

Hearing the commotion in the yard, Liu Qiaoye came out of the house to greet her, "Baby boy, how is it? Did you catch any loach today? Oh, let me see, why are you unhappy today? Don't you usually like to catch loach with dad? Did dad beat you and scold you? Tell mother, mother will go and clean him up."

Liu Qiaoye looked at the man again, "He finally became more lively today, why are you scolding him?"

"Oh, you don't understand." Zhang Youping didn't want to mention what happened just now, he didn't want his wife to worry too much. For some things, it is enough for a man like him to take care of them.

"Why don't I understand? It's wrong for you to scold Baozai. Everyone in the village talks about us Baozai behind our backs. What's wrong with us Baozai? We don't eat their clothes, don't wear their clothes, and don't steal from them. It's in their way. It's fine if you don't take care of Baozai. If you add fuel to the flames, what kind of father are you?"

Zhang Jiaohua, who was just feeling upset at first, immediately felt particularly wronged, and there was no way to get over it without crying, so she cried bitterly. The crying point of the little kid is really very low, as long as you brew your emotions a little, you can cry hard.

As soon as Zhang Jiaohua cried, the mother immediately panicked, and quickly hugged the baby in her arms, teasing and comforting at the same time. By the way, he scolded Dad heartily.

For some reason, when Mother scolded Father, Zhang Jiaohua's mood immediately improved a lot. Then she was amused by a hard candy that mother took out from nowhere, making her smile.

When Zhang Jiaohua ate the candy, Jin Hu and the others fixed their eyes on the candy in Zhang Jiaohua's hand, and kept swallowing. Fart kids don't have the idea of ​​having fun and sharing.

At lunch time, my mother got a small earthen pot of sesame oil from where, and fried the loach until both sides were browned, and then grabbed a few bright red hot peppers from the jar, and fried them deliciously. Zhang Jiaohua was sweating profusely after eating.

"Baby, is loach delicious?" Liu Qiaoye looked at Zhang Jiaohua eating so deliciously, and asked with a smile.

"It's delicious, it's much better than pickled vegetables." Zhang Jiaohua gulped down the rice, his mouth was vague.

After lunch, he took out the bell and played with it for a while, then put the bell on his wrist.

Zhang Jiaohua sat on the threshold and leaned against the door, Jin Hu and the others sat next to Zhang Jiaohua on the threshold.

Sitting and sitting, everything in front of him turned into a whirlwind, and Zhang Jiaohua suddenly fell asleep again.

The old Taoist stood in front of Zhang Jiaohua again, "Today the first spring thunder sounded before the beginning of spring, and it was time to start practicing water refining. From now on, practice three times a day at Maoshi every morning (five or six o'clock in the morning). It will take seven to forty-nine consecutive days. I will take you to practice for seven days first. Then you practice every day. Remember. Before refining water, wash your hands and face. During water refining, you must abstain from sex. Otherwise, the refined water will be polluted and will no longer be effective. Refining water requires cultivating virtue, always having a kind heart, respecting teachers and ancestors, helping those in danger and those in need, not deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors, using the strong to bully the weak, giving birth to evil thoughts, and harming people with the law. Do you understand?"

Zhang Jiaohua naturally didn't understand, what does "abstinence from womanizing" mean? What does "husband and wife share the same room" mean? What does "Three Dislikes" mean?

But Zhang Jiaohua is like a puppet being manipulated at this moment, unable to speak out what is in his heart at all. But what surprised Zhang Jiaohua was that he himself spoke in an uncontrollable situation: "Master, what are the three annoyances?"

The old Taoist priest nodded, "Three dislikes refer to pigeons from the sky, turtles (turtles) from the water, and dogs from the ground. You can't eat pigeons, turtles and dogs."

Zhang Jiaohua was very frightened, who was talking just now? Obviously he was talking, but what he said was not what he wanted to say. How is this going? It's just that Zhang Jiaohua didn't have time to think clearly about this problem, and his body started to move uncontrollably again.

Zhang Jiaohua holds a blue-and-white ceramic bowl in his left hand, with his middle finger and ring finger clasped tightly inwardly, and his thumb, index finger, and little finger standing upright in a tripod shape to hold the bowl. The thumb of the right hand clasps the ring finger and little finger. Stretch out the index finger and middle finger into a sword finger shape that seems straight, not straight, or curved, and then draw the taboo while chanting the mantra, starting from asking Hua Tuo to order the rampant soldiers in the Meishan courtyard, and practicing until the end, finishing all the water. Take a bowl and draw water to smelt.

Although Zhang Jiaohua did every movement involuntarily during the whole process, Zhang Jiaohua naturally remembered all these movements in his heart. It feels like the Taoist priests on TV, but every movement here seems to be more subtle than the Taoist priests on TV.

Every time there is a mistake, the old Taoist leader will not let Zhang Jiaohua have a good time. Obviously he couldn't help himself, but when he was beaten, it was really painful.

For the first time refining water, he was beaten countless times, and near the end, he was severely beaten three times by the old Taoist priest. It hurts. Zhang Jiaohua suddenly woke up from the pain, and the back of his head hit the door frame, making a loud bump.

Zhang Jiaohua didn't touch his head, but rubbed his hands, obviously in a dream, why did his hands still feel so painful?
