The next day, Gu Yu went down the mountain to meet Zhang Hongru.
The spirit stone is fine and can be mass-produced, but he is very concerned about what to do with the leftovers after cutting? Zhang Hongru conveniently said that the scientific research team is going to use residual materials for experiments to cultivate various ecological chains.
For example, it can be ground into powder, sprinkled on ordinary soil, or used to raise fish. Or, directly make it into a culture medium to see if it can further catalyze biological activity and so on.
Well, anyway, Gu Yu didn't quite understand.
The two chatted for a while, and he returned to the mountain with seeds and farm tools. Generally, the early rice of double-cropping rice is harvested in July, and then the late rice is sown in mid-June, transplanted in July, and harvested in November.
The valley is not like a plain, and it is impossible to mechanize it. If you let him drive a tractor to plow the land, it will be unsightly. Anyway, the area is small, at most a few acres can be allocated, and some relatively traditional techniques and equipment are used.
It will take some time to plant late rice, but you can try peach trees.
The best time to cut and graft peach trees is in early March, because the buds of peach blossoms start to germinate and grow, and the nutrition is very active, which is conducive to survival.
But this is a general rule. When to do it depends on whether the buds on the branches have germinated.
It is now June, and ordinary peach trees have entered the fruiting period, and there are no flowers at all. But the one in Caohekou is different, the flowers bloom one by one, like taking drugs.
This work could only be done by Gu Yu and Xiao Zhai, Long Qiu was pushed far away. After all, that peach branch is poisonous, if she accidentally inhales it, what the hell will happen to her
The two found seven wild hairy peach trees in Neishan, and cut the two sides of the peach branches into sharp shapes, leaving some skin. Then make a cut on the mother tree and insert the peach branches slowly. Then wrap the wound with a film, wrap it tightly in a circle, and finally use a rope to make it firm.
This is a very simple grafting technique. It will germinate in about half a month, and the membrane can be removed in 3 months.
Cuttings are more complicated. The 5-10 cm long branches are first immersed in a common culture medium, and then inserted into the perlite matrix. Water in moderation and pay attention to shade, and it will take more than a week to take root.
After taking root, it can be transplanted into the soil and formally cultivated.
For these "filtered" peach branches, seven were grafted and ten were cut, making a total of seventeen. The two of them attached great importance to it, and took care of it every day. For a while, they seemed to be farmers and women, living a life where you carried water and I watered the garden.
…
Quiet room.
Gu Yu sat in front of the case, and there were many things on the wooden case, there were jars, boxes, boards, bowls, tweezers, etc., everything was strictly orderly, numerous but not chaotic.
Before he went to Tianzhu Mountain, he had prepared a lot of raw materials, and after returning to study for a long time, he felt something again today, so he tried again.
The incense powder includes more than ten kinds of lobelia, licorice, chrysanthemum, bletilla striata, etc., all of which are good medicines for clearing and neutralizing, and are packed in small jars. He used to use elm bark for sticky powder, but he found that the bark of old trees was more useful and contained spiritual energy, so he cut off a little bit and ground it into sticky powder.
Poor old tree, who has lived peacefully in the valley for many years, but when this guy came, he was covered in bruises.
Gu Yu first took a porcelain bowl, and put the prepared powder one by one. This was the best ratio after trial and error. After that, pour it with clean water from the river while pressing it with your hands.
Flavor powder, sticky powder and water are fused together, just like kneading dough, and quickly become a dough-like thing, about the size of an adult's fist.
Immediately, he picked up the small gourd and inhaled deeply, and a wisp of pink mist floated out from the mouth of the gourd, floating and entangled in the void.
Gu Yu didn't dare to be negligent, and while controlling the powder mist with his divine sense, he held the incense ball with both hands and began to rub it repeatedly. Then he opened his mouth again and said, "Huh!"
The powder mist was stimulated by this, as if it came alive, it turned into a thin thread and blew on the incense ball.
And between his hands, a small airflow field seemed to be formed, and the spiritual energy wrapped the powder mist in it, and slowly penetrated into the incense ball. I saw him getting smaller and smaller as he kneaded, and it took a long time before he suddenly stopped.
Gu Yu spread out his palm, revealing a fragrant embryo with a hint of pink, which shrank in half. Through constant squeezing and rubbing, the density of this thing is extremely high, the skin is smooth and flat, and it has a round and clear feeling.
He tore off a piece, pressed it under his fingers, and entered the state of looking at me alone again. Spiritual consciousness is like a bright moon, contemplating above the head, and oneself is under the bright moon.
With finger rubbing, the incense ball gradually stretches and becomes thinner and longer. About ten minutes later, a new incense stick finally took shape.
This fragrance is well-proportioned, it seems to be a little pink, but not as enchanting as pink, and it seems to be a little white, but it is more ambiguous than white.
"I used to think that Xingshenxiang was the pinnacle of my life, but I didn't expect to break through..."
Gu Yu shook his head and sighed. If Xingshen Incense is a work of art, this incense is completely beyond the ordinary level, because it has an indescribable quality: spirituality.
With successful experience, the next step is to be familiar with it. Until the incense balls were used up, he made a total of twenty and carefully put them into wooden boxes.
Gu Yu adjusted his breath for a while, but did not rest, but continued to make another kind of incense.
This is improved according to the Danfang, the ingredients are still those ingredients, that is, the age and medicinal properties are greatly reduced. There are eighteen kinds of wild ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, poria cocos, dendrobium, lotus seeds, etc.
Just these things, if boiled into a soup, people can mend death after drinking it, and it's almost bleeding from the seven orifices. So he was still worried, and added several supplementary and harmonizing medicinal materials, a total of twenty-five kinds.
He painted cats and tigers, and made another twenty sticks of incense sticks according to his previous mood and techniques. To put it simply, it is to use spiritual consciousness and spiritual energy to integrate the medicinal properties and remove impurities.
After finishing all this, Gu Yu raised his eyes and saw that the sky was getting dark before he knew it. He supported the floor mat and wanted to stand up, but with a plop, he fell back down again.
"Ah… "
He smiled, but his spiritual energy was consumed too much and his body was weak.
However, he was in a happy mood, and he felt very comfortable looking at the two boxes of incense sticks. One was called Peach Blossom Fragrance, and the other was called Qi Ju Qi. The former is just casual, the latter is the point.
The effect of the Qi Gathering Pill is to increase the speed of practice. If Qi Gathering Incense has a similar function, even if it is one-tenth, one-twentieth, it can replace Lingshi to a certain extent.
And his lineage of Phoenix Mountain will have the most solid foundation!
…
At the end of June, Jiangzhou Railway Station.
This is a big station, with countless passengers picked up and dropped off every day. There are more than 20 waiting areas, and each area is occupied by black crowds.
In the waiting seat for Yingtan City, although everyone said they were busy, they all had a hint of curiosity and scrutiny in their expressions, and they all looked in one direction from time to time.
In a certain seat in the middle, a skinny old Taoist priest was sitting with his eyes closed. He was very old, but he gave people a very strange feeling. It seemed that even the wrinkles on his face showed a kind of magical vitality.
This person is incompatible with the painting style around him. He has a gray Taoist robe, white socks and cloth shoes, no suitcase, and only a bundle in his hand. That's right, it's the kind of baggage often seen in costume dramas.
This veteran is naturally Tan Chongdai, the head of the Qionglong Mountain School.
Today is the 19th, and the 20th is the Chuandu Puja. There is no airport there, so we can only take the high-speed rail, which takes about ten hours. People from the Daoist Association sent him to the station, leaving behind his ticket and travel allowance.
Could it be that Qin Yunfeng was so generous that he gave 50,000 yuan. He may have heard some rumors that something big will happen soon. Tan Laodao is the representative of Jiangzhou, so he can't be too shabby.
"Passengers, please note that the G808 train from Jiangzhou to Yingtan has started to check tickets..."
As the broadcast sounded, Tan Chongdai stood up, like a straight green pine, and when his momentum lit up, he immediately startled others.
The old Taoist's face was slightly condensed, and he stepped onto the platform to go to the holy land of southern Taoism for two thousand years, Longhu Mountain!
