Mu Yangjing reached out and stroked the leaves of the gourd vine. There were strands of magic power on the white fingertips, penetrating into the leaves of the gourd vine.
The gourd vine leaves actually showed natural texture in an attempt to resist the influx of Mu Yangjing's power.
Mu Yangjing clicked his tongue and marveled: "Although this is not a Jiushan gourd, the texture is like a natural incantation, so it must be a rare treasure. Judging from the complexity of the texture, it may not be worse than the Jiushan gourd."
Zhao Huaizhong smiled and calmed down.
He had already seen that the little gourds were not ordinary creatures, and they might be giving birth to gourd babies.
However, the waitress was a little uneasy. She was just glad that the vine leaves in Zhao Huaizhong were not Jiushan gourds, but Mu Yangjing confirmed that they were a valuable plant that was not weaker than Jiushan gourds.
"Nowadays, due to the differences between the land and the earth, it is difficult to support this kind of plant left over from ancient times. How does the prince cultivate its growth?"
When the method of planting was mentioned, Mu Yangjing looked at Zhao Huaizhong with great interest.
"I got some strange objects left by my predecessors, and used them to water the gourd seeds, and the gourds grew." Zhao Huaizhong changed his way of explaining the container of liquid obtained from the giant pillar in Sendai.
Mu Yangjing picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said: "Judging from this vine leaf, the gourd is not yet mature.
I also have ancestral relics here that can be used to cultivate gourds."
Mu Yangjing's words contained unfinished meaning, so Zhao Huaizhong remained silent, waiting for her to continue.
"How many gourds did the Crown Prince get?" Mu Yangjing asked.
"Five." Zhao Huaizhong said calmly.
"I use the things from my ancestors to help the gourds grow. When the gourds mature, how about five gourds and one for me?" Mu Yangjing said.
Zhao Huaizhong readily agreed and received help from others to mature the gourd. It was fair to use one as a reward.
Mu Yangjing nodded gently, and a few strands of his black hair fell down with the movement, showing a sense of laziness in his charm.
"Zhu Xi, go and get the soil from No. 1?" Mu Yangjing said.
The waitress turned around and went out, came back after a while, and handed Zhao Huaizhong a small cloth bag. It was bulging, probably slightly larger than an ordinary person's fist. Liu Qi, who was standing behind Zhao Huaizhong, took it.
Mu Yangjing smiled and said: "The grafting and planting mentioned by the Crown Prince may be explained in detail."
Zhao Huaizhong sorted out the inventory in his mind and said slowly:
"To sum up, it is to choose a strong plant with good growth as the mother plant, open an opening on its trunk or branches, and use it to take over the stems or buds of other plants, so that the two can grow together to improve the yield and have stronger resistance to pests and diseases.
capabilities, or for purposes such as combating climate change.”
Mu Yangjing thought deeply and said:
"You mean to say that you can transplant buds and stems of plants that are not cold-tolerant to cold-resistant plants to make them resistant to cold? Or you can even increase the yield by combining low-yielding and high-yielding crops?"
"Have you ever tried what the prince said?"
Zhao Huaizhong: "When I was a child, I once had a sudden idea and paired two different plants together. I failed many times, but there were also times when I succeeded. The plant should not bloom in winter, but it successfully bloomed.
It can be seen that this idea can be realized on some plants."
Mu Yangjing showed a thoughtful expression again. This time she did not continue to ask questions, but instead indicated that Zhao Huaizhong could also ask her questions.
Zhao Huaizhong was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was quite fair, asking each other what they were interested in.
He thought for a while and asked: "I only came into contact with spiritual practice after returning to Qin. I have many questions and I am about to ask Master Mu to help me clear up my confusion.
I wonder what the fundamental differences are between the various types of spiritual practice?”
Mu Yangjing said calmly: "There is no fundamental difference in practice. They are all for exploring oneself and finding a deeper balance between man and heaven and earth. It can also be understood as pursuing the continuation of life."
He added: "The most well-known types of spiritual practice in Da Qin should be Lu Buwei's Zajia lineage and Legalism.
In terms of these two major categories, Zajia is the path that Lu Buwei took after understanding each system and then summarizing the essence."
Zhao Huaizhong nodded slightly, Lu Buwei was the master of all the miscellaneous families.
The Legalism Mu Yangjing talks about was when Shang Yang brought the Dharma Sutra to the Qin Dynasty and became the prime minister. He brought the full set of Legalist practice strategies and core ideas to the Qin Dynasty and became the most important part of the Qin reform.
Mu Yangjing continued: "Everyone in the world thinks that the Zajia is a patchwork of things and has no core ideas of its own. In fact, this is not the case. The core of the Zajia is to be practical, collect the essence, and achieve oneself.
This was also Lu Buwei's core proposition in handling government affairs when he became prime minister in Da Qin.
The Qin Dynasty took pragmatism as its foundation and strengthened its army and enriched its farmers, so its national power could grow stronger."
"The entry-level realm of Zajia refers to the Confucian classics, Zhongzheng and Peace. The realm is called Shushan Baijuan. You need to read more ancient scrolls, understand the true meaning of the scrolls, understand the goals of your own practice, and then you can naturally sense the world between heaven and earth.
The stock qi machine is the first mirror of success in the miscellaneous family."
"After entering the Hundred-Juan Realm at the entrance of the Zajia family, Lu Buwei also referred to the techniques of Legalism and transformed the accumulation of the Hundred-Juan Realm into power, using the law as a legal punishment realm. He can use the power of heaven and earth to punish demons, which has far-reaching intentions.
The miscellaneous families practiced all the way, and then borrowed from the Yin and Yang family to deduce the stargazing technique, which was called Shushu Realm.
At this point, you can deduce predictions and further develop your own potential. Those with advanced practices can even predict good and bad luck.
Further up are the Taoist jade tower realm and the flower-picking realm of my farm.
There is also the Dharma realm of the strategist.
In this way, we gradually go up to the small virtual realm on the ninth floor of the Zajia family.
In the end, by integrating the previous nine realms into one body and achieving self-achievement, you will be able to break through to the Holy Realm."
Mu Yangjing used Zajia as an example and explained the characteristics of various major types of practice in a simple and in-depth manner, allowing Zhao Huaizhong to have a relatively clear concept of the practice system of the three religions and nine streams for the first time.
This time it was really not in vain... Zhao Huaizhong thought to himself.
"I wonder how difficult each level is? How long will it take to achieve a breakthrough?"
"It is difficult to break through every realm of every category. Some people have been cultivators in the first realm all their lives, and it is difficult to make progress." Mu Yangjing lamented the difficulty of cultivation.
I am obviously a special case, and I don't feel the difficulty of cultivation at all... Zhao Huaizhong thought.
He didn't dare to say this, it would be too hateful.
Then it was Mu Yangjing's turn to ask about grafting again.
An afternoon passed quickly as Zhao Huaizhong and Mu Yangjing talked.
The two of them had a gradually in-depth discussion on whether grafting was feasible and the pros and cons of various types of spiritual practice.
Mu Yangjing asked: "The survival rate of plant transplantation will inevitably be affected by factors such as the environment and cultivation techniques.
If the problem of improving survival cannot be properly solved, cultivating and increasing production will become empty talk. How to solve it?"
Zhao Huaizhong replied: "The planting environment can be improved, such as opening up the top wall of the building and making it into a window pane, which can be opened and closed without blocking the sunlight. If there is severe cold in winter, charcoal pots can be lit in the house to help the plants stay warm and maintain temperature.
Create an environment more suitable for plant growth."
This is similar to a modern greenhouse. Zhao Huaizhong casually said that he still felt that there were many improvements that could be made to make it more suitable for this era, but Mu Yangjing was enlightened, and a strange look bloomed on his pretty face.
The whole afternoon passed, and Jiang Shu and the waitress, who had been listening to the whole process, had become dumbfounded.
The shock in the hearts of the two of them was like a wave, one wave higher than the other, and it was difficult to calm down.
During the conversation between Mu Yangjing and Zhao Huaizhong, Mu Yangjing was mostly asking for advice.
Zhao Huaizhong relied on his knowledge reserves before traveling and worked hard to answer Mu Yangjing's questions one by one.
To onlookers, it seems incredible.
Jiang Shu and the maid Zhu Xi had dull faces. They had never seen anyone who could discuss planting with Mu Yangjing.
As evening approached, Zhao Huaizhong took the initiative to say goodbye and seemed to be running away in embarrassment when he left.
If he stayed a little longer, he would have to make a fool of himself on the spot.
If it weren't for taking advantage of people who traveled through time, and before time travel, information was so developed that almost everyone could talk nonsense for a while when they mentioned a certain field, the discussion just now would have been rendered speechless by Mu Yangjing.
"This Mu Yangjing is so scary. If he were in modern times, he would definitely be a scientist. He loves to study problems and gets to the bottom of them. He can make people doubt their lives."
Zhao Huaizhong fled in embarrassment and returned to Xianyang Palace.
After he left, Mu Yangjing closed his eyes for a long time, opened his eyes and sighed: "The prince of Qin Dynasty has many wonderful ideas, and he keeps asking questions... He is really a genius."
She seemed to have discovered the treasure boy and took a sip of tea in a great mood.
Jiang Shu blinked her big eyes, her heart was filled with ups and downs.
She had never heard Master Mu Yangjing praise someone so highly.
After Zhao Huaizhong returned to the palace, he sprinkled the earth that Mu Yang had collected under the gourd vines, hoping that the little gourds would mature soon.
Time flies, autumn and winter are fleeting, spring and summer alternate, and a year goes by quickly.
In October of the following year, after autumn, the weather became cooler.
At this time, Zhao Huaizhong was nearly seventeen years old and had returned to Da Qin for more than a year.
In the morning, when he came to see the gourds again, he saw that after more than a year of cultivation and cultivation, the surface of the five small gourds was shining with a crystal clear light, swaying in the wind, and the fruits were already ripe and falling off the stems.
Zhao Huaizhong reached out and touched it gently, and a gourd fell off the vine and fell into his palm.
