"Amitabha!"
The old monk recited the Buddha's name, brought out a sutra case from the incense shop, and brought in several bottles and jars, and actually wanted to make incense on site!
Seeing this, the two monks, tall and thin, were hurriedly coming up to help, and brought an incense rack from the incense shop, with various incense sticks placed on it, all of which were hanged in sandalwood signs and various spice names written on it.
As small as common plants such as calamus, orange peel, atractylodes, and mint, the rarest ones are like sinking water, nanmu, and sandalwood...all listed one by one.
Xiaoyu glanced at him and couldn't help but be moved.
He went to the incense shop to see it, and also saw the incense treasures such as Niutou Sandalwood. Then he immediately started selling incense and gathered some money to buy incense.
But this small incense rack seems to be the personal treasure of the old monk. There are hundreds of spices on the rack, all of which are the best. The fragrance materials such as orange peel, calamus, and mint are not valuable, but the quality of the spices only depends on the medicinal properties and sesame oils.
Such ordinary materials can make the sesame oil so full, and it is still rich in cellars for so many years. The fragrance is originally a dispersed one, so it must be made by a master of incense.
If you want to say that these ordinary spices are not precious treasures as precious sandalwood, among which sesame oil is more or less, you just need to adjust the ingredients.
Why do you need a master of incense?
But only the small fish, who invades the incense path, knows that the incense path is different from the alchemy path. The alchemy path is a combination of medicinal properties, with the technique of manipulating the temperature and the technique of harmonizing medicinal properties first. However, the incense path, the fragrance is just a carrier, and the subtle thoughts in it are the real key.
Incense is a fragrance that expresses people's thoughts, wishes, and even some of the subtleties of the great way that they have realized.
Taking incense as your faith, the thoughts of clearing the refutation of sentient beings can reach the points of gods and Buddhas...
The pure blessing incense used by the black monk was a Buddhist incense master who was proficient in Buddhism. After being skewed into a thread incense, it was worshipped in front of the Buddha.
It absorbs the pious, pure and full of good wishes and expectations among believers.
Therefore, once ignited, this kind of vow that contains the simple and beautiful thoughts of believers can be emitted through the fragrance.
The ghosts and gods of the Heavenly Mantra Sect feed on this, and Buddhist disciples can also use this vow to bless the Dharma! Such as protecting the body, subduing demons, and Dharma equals, are all like thousands of believers who recite scriptures and bless them.
Therefore, if ordinary monks cannot borrow this power of wish, the incense way will be much useless for them.
Ordinary monks can only concentrate and calm their minds and use the beautiful wishes of sentient beings to suppress the inner demons. They must be in the hands of ghosts and gods, or the Heavenly Mantra Sect, Buddhism, and other sects that use the power of the Yin Spirit Gods and Buddhas to practice and cast magic will be of great use!
The little fish's raw cloud fragrance is another way. The materials used do not contain the power of wishes, nor are they sent to the gods and Buddhas for offerings. Instead, they take the medicinal properties in the spices like the method of alchemy, and use the best carrier such as aroma to combine the medicinal properties.
The fragrance of the raw clouds contains water essence, cloud essence and various spiritual herbs. The small fish refines it into the fragrance of the raw clouds and ignite it, and clouds rise.
This is a method of fragrant pills!
Xiaoyu knew that when the old monk made these materials himself, his pure thoughts were like elixir fire, refining these spices, infecting their fragrances, and refining these fragrance materials with his own Zen mind and Buddha nature.
This is an extremely superior technique of refining the mind.
Even the old monk did not use magic power or magical powers, but only refine the spices with this kind of thought fire with his full concentration and purity of physical and mental investment.
The technique of incense making - making incense materials, grinding incense powder, blending spices, and plasticizing the heart fire.
In these steps, the old monk did not see the open fire, but could use the fire of his mind to refine it into plasticity. The Buddha fragrance after it was formed naturally contained a profound Buddha nature.
After the cellar is kept and worshipped, Buddha incense absorbs the power of sentient beings, which is an extremely precious product of heavenly incense.
The old monk sorted out the sutra case, knelt down before the case, nodded to Xiaoyu, "Tan Yue went to my incense shop before, and looked at it for a long time in front of several spices!"
"For the sake of Buddhism, I have to force the donor to try the incense, which is already offending Tan Yue. Therefore, if the donor wants to use any spices, he can take them from this incense shop, which is what I have to give Tan Yue compensation!"
Before Xiaoyu came to the incense rack, he smiled and said, "It's not necessary to give it to me! Although I don't give to Buddhism, I don't have the principle of begging for alms from Buddhism!"
"I can't afford the fate of Buddhism!"
He stood in Xianghan and thought a little, took a piece of cowhead sandalwood from it, then opened the small box next to it, and twisted a little dark red powder.
Then he put down five hundred Sanshan talismans as incense and retreated slowly.
The old monk didn't see what Xiaoyu had taken, but saw that he would rather spend a lot of money than accept his kindness, so he sighed slightly.
However, the tall and thin monk looked at the two fragrant wands intently and reminded loudly: "One piece of cowhead sandalwood, weighing eight or three cents, and one cent of Yilan powder..."
The old monk frowned slightly, feeling a little displeased with him so scheming.
But I was still slightly surprised and said, "The ox-headed sandalwood is the most treasure of incense. This is the reason for taking it, but the yinlan is a stinky grass. The Buddha often uses sandalwood to metaphorize the Dharma, and the yinlan to describe the troubles of sentient beings. This yinlan grass tree grows together with sandalwood in the mountains of Niutou. When I picked sandalwood, I saw that the yinlan surrounded it, so I picked some of them, preparing to refine a kind of evil scent and troubles in order to test my disciples."
"But what is his use to get Yilan?"
The old monk was a little puzzled. The fragrance of Yilan was extremely smelly. It ignited and disturbed people's minds and nature, and could refine the fragrance of troubles, make people suddenly entangled with ignorance, and test the disciple's character. Apart from this, there is no other use. How can the monks from the side sect get it?
When he thought about it, he might have never seen this rare herb. Maybe it was used to practice other magic spells, and it would be useless to think too much.
Ning Qingchen sat upstairs, with a faint smile on his face and a picturesque look at the two of them and said, "It's really annoying that the two monks were so rude. I thought that Buddhism was different in the Northern Wei Dynasty and overseas! Now that I saw this old monk, I looked like a monk. Although I spoke to keep people for the sake of Buddhist praise and criticism, which made me more utilitarian!"
"It's not important if it's utilitarian or not."
Qian Chen said lightly: "It does look like a monk, but it's different whether he is really an expert! Maybe it's my villain's opinion! He asked the little fish to use spices, which may not be a good intention, and of course it may not be a bad intention, but it's very selfish!"
Ning Qingchen said in surprise: "Where do you start with this?"
"The spices that the old monk used for the duration are indeed better than those of the incense shop, but it is not necessarily appropriate for the little fish to use it to refine incense! When those spices were prepared, they were all refined by the old monk with their thoughts and contained Buddha nature. If the little fish used such spices to refine incense, whoever loses won or wins. However, this old monk has certain advantages in refining incense with these profound Buddha nature."
"And if the little fish goes along, the fragrance that is refined will naturally be profound in Buddha nature, and they will probably show Buddha light, ceiling and other strange phenomena!"
"Refining spiritual incense against Buddha nature will naturally cause great damage to the fragrance..."
"This old monk compared the reputation of Buddhism. This time, the Buddhist incense path has such twists and turns. It is not that it is inferior to others in the incense path, but that it is not allowed to sell incense and belittle his family's incense, which is a bit domineering! The spiritual incense refined by the opponent in this way has become the Buddha incense. Isn't it better than winning on the surface, but it is actually being discussed and discussed, and it is better?"
"What the senior brother said makes sense!" Ning Qingchen smiled and said, "The little fish took a piece of incense material, which was the main material of sandalwood. In this way, wouldn't Buddhism win?"
When Ning Qingchen heard Xiaoyu’s self-reporter, he immediately confirmed that the true person Lou Guandao who taught him the incense was his senior brother!
Therefore, I also had a slight partiality with him and was ready to speak out to remind me...
Qian Chen waved his hand and said, "If he couldn't even see this, he would dare to call me a disciple of Louguan. I would have punished him a lot! Waiting to see, he would naturally have a way to refine that Buddha nature."
Ning Qingchen turned his eyebrows and smiled, "Just hope he won't refine the demon incense! Otherwise, the disciples of Louguan Taoist Sect will be orthodox, but they will refine the demon incense, which will inevitably make people laugh..."
Qian Chen was stunned when he heard this. At this moment, he no longer had the confidence he had before!
A hesitant look on his face, as if he was a little nervous... Qian Chen said in his heart: "If he really refines a kind of demon incense for me, I can only kill my relatives for justice and beat this unworthy person to the true preaching and become a registered disciple!"
At this moment, the old monk took off a few pieces of incense and knelt before the sutra, and naturally there was a solemn and quiet atmosphere that flowed out from him.
This sitting has at least two hundred years of meditation skills.
Regardless of sitting posture, momentum, or the old monk's own thoughts, they are all adjusted to the best.
At this moment, there was a yin demon rushing to the face, which was probably difficult to shake the old monk's thoughts. This meditation skill made 99% of the monks present ashamed. Even Qian Chen on the upper floor was ready to move, wanting to show his demonic nature and try the old monk's Zen heart!
"Forget it! There is no one who bullies people like this..." Qian Chen shook his head slightly and gave up this idea.
In the middle of a downtown city, but the heart is in Lingshan!
The old monk took a piece of cowhead sandalwood, looked up and smiled at the little fish, "These cowhead sandalwoods were picked by myself on Bainiu Mountain in the Western Buddha land when I went to Xihezhou to worship my Buddha in the past and asked for scriptures."
"I still remember that the monks of the Landa Temple in the West led the Great White Bull King and carried me to climb Niutou Mountain. Under the spiritual sandalwood tree planted by Tanyun Bodhisattva, they looked for the decayed parts of the insects."
"I dare not hurt the spiritual tree planted by the Bodhisattva with a knife and an axe, so I sat under the tree and recited the scriptures. I recited it for three days from morning to night. Only then did King Sandang cut off the rotten wood he was injured by an ant and sent it to me!"
"The piece that Tan Yue picked was the same as the piece in my hand, and it was all fragrant from the Sandal King tree."
The old monk sighed slightly, and then explained why there is such a strong Buddha nature in this cowhead sandalwood.
This cowhead sandalwood actually came from the Niutou Mountain in the Buddha Kingdom in the Western Land... and it was obtained from a spiritual sandalwood king of god-turning levels. No wonder it contained gold wire, which even emitted a slight golden light in the eyes of the old Taoist, and there were distant Zen singing.
A hint of hesitation appeared on Xiaoyu's face and hesitated: "So, do you have to add money?"
He did see the extraordinary nature of this piece of fragrant material, but he didn't expect that it had such a big origin. In this way, the fragrance he paid for seemed a little inappropriate!
But although the three of them dig graves everywhere and robbed tombs, they gained a lot, but they only took three pieces to accompany them at a time. Moreover, they accumulated good deeds by their own cultivation, which was also expensive. They often had no belongings, but now they can't afford a higher price.
The old monk wanted to tell him the origin of this sandalwood and let him retreat, but when he heard this answer, he couldn't help but smile: "Since it was said to be given to Tan Yue, Tan Yue spent money to buy it! Even if the relationship with me ended, how could he go back on his word!"
Qian Chen, who was upstairs, heard this section, had already sharpened his knife and had the idea of ​​the spirit sandalwood.
He sighed, "No wonder this piece of cowhead sandalwood is better than I use!"
He used the five thousand-year-old cowhead sandalwood tree heart oil grid, which was deceived from the Kunlun Mirror. The five thousand-year-old cowhead sandalwood is nothing to the Kunlun Mirror. The Kunlun Mirror's body shook, and it could easily create a sandalwood forest through time and space. The temperature should be as old as possible!
But if you want to designate the origin, it is a Buddhist holy place like Niutou Mountain.
It would be too embarrassing to let it go to Niutou Mountain to plant trees!
Not to mention the sandalwood trees on Niutou Mountain, there must be many monks who worship them devoutly and recite scriptures to bless them. Each of them contains Buddha nature and is not a wild treasure of heaven and earth!
"There must be many Gandharvas in that place. They burn the Gandharva corpses with cowhead sandalwood, but they are afraid they can burn the best incense material!"
Qian Chen still missed the Gandharva...
After the old monk told the little fish about this joint, he finally put down the last block in his heart, and then chanted the scriptures in a low voice. It was accompanied by a thunderous ray of clear stream, and then gradually turned into a thunderous sound. The old monk's thoughts turned into golden mantras and fell on the ox-headed sandalwood.
His magic power and thoughts intersect, and the word of mantra seemed to be tempering the sandalwood, causing it to gradually fade away from the black and gray wood.
Straws of golden threads were revealed, wandering on the sandalwood, intertwining into the appearance of a Bodhisattva who was leaning against the sandalwood tree and meditating with his eyes closed!
At this time, the spices had been completely cleaned, and a hint of gloom in the cellar was completely dissipated, and the dead wood and silence had faded away. The slightest and mysterious fragrance lingered around, making the dark and dark aura difficult to get within ten feet of the sutra.
The fragrance was like a trace of golden thread hanging down in the eyes of monks who could display their magic eyes, and the entire block was extraordinary.
"Bang!"
With a dull sound, a golden flame suddenly burned in the Bodhisattva's image, and suddenly, fragrant powder fell down.
The fragrant powder falling on the table is like gold, and there are divine lights shining...
There was also white resin-like frankincense melting, milky white sticky juice flowing, drop by drop in the golden bowl full of scriptures...
The little fish just quickly grind the spices, then took a bone knife, and carefully scraped a or two powder on the piece of cowhead sandalwood.
Then take out a small bowl, pour a little sticky suspicious liquid into the bowl.
The sticky liquid is like oil.
The bowl was mixed by a small fish and turned into a small cloud, churning freely and with a hint of agility.
Qian Chen recognized this thing at a glance and smiled: "Although the Sperm Beast Swallow is also a good material, it is not the horn of the fragrance-shrinking spirit, which is far from comparable to that piece of cowhead sandalwood, so it cannot be used as the main medicine!"
"Even if you do auxiliary medicine, you may be suppressed by the ox-headed sandalwood. After all, that sandalwood is taken from the Sandalwood King who is at the level of God Transformation, and this squirting cloud beast is just a little guy who has just formed a pill!"
"Only by pressing the aroma of sandalwood slightly, you can cooperate! But this must not be compared with the old monk who completely activates the Buddha nature in sandalwood. You will lose a better position in the materials."
"But he took the difference in the cloud-swallowing water that contained the clouds as an auxiliary material for bonding spices, and used it to combine spices!"
"This is adapted to local conditions..."
"Everything is born with its own uses! Alchemy is assisted by the king and his ministers. Not all spiritual medicines are the more precious the better!"
"Sometimes, some ordinary spiritual medicines can be used to irreplace. If they are used well, they can refine the Nine-Turning Golden Elixir. If they are not refining well, they can only be muddy into mud even if they take all the immortal medicines in the heavens and all realms..."
