Chapter 634: When you don’t know good or bad luck, always act according to bad luck
"Shizhi? What is Shizhi?"
Gu Zhengyan frowned, his eyes full of doubts and confusion.
He stared closely at the strange object on the ground that exuded a strange and cold atmosphere, said that plants were not plants, and that living things were not living things, and asked Shen Yu anxiously.
Shen Yu cleared his throat slightly and explained with a serious expression: "This is a kind of sesame mentioned in "Baopuzi's Fairy Medicine" written by Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
"Ge Hong carefully divided it into five different categories. They are Shizhi, Muzhi, Cao Zhi, Meat Zhi, and Fungi Zhi.
"The Rouzhi among them is what people today call Tai Sui.
“Tai Sui is quite mysterious in folklore and is often regarded as a being that has special effects and can even extend life.
"Of course, this is pure nonsense. Eating that stuff will cause diarrhea."
"There are relatively few records about Shizhi. In "Baopuzi", Shizhi is described as follows: "Shizhi is attached to the big stone. The red one is like coral, the white one is like cut fat, and the black one is like lacquer. The green ones are like green feathers, the yellow ones are like purple gold, and they are all as bright and penetrating as solid ice.
"And the weight of Shizhi is closely related to the power of time contained in it.
“A person with one kilogram is considered to be a thousand years old, and a man with ten kilograms is considered to be long live.
"The Shizhi plant in front of us is roughly estimated to weigh three kilograms, so it has probably been growing for three thousand years.
After speaking, Shen Yu secretly expressed wonder: "This object is a bit strange, it is purple. It also has its own unique shape and strange color, but based on many characteristics, it should be the Shizhi mentioned in Baopuzi."
After hearing this, Gu Zhengyan looked solemn and immediately looked at Liao Wansan.
The eyes met, as if there was a unique tacit understanding and communication formed over the years.
Liao Wansan nodded slightly and said with understanding: "Xiao Shen, this thing doesn't seem to be a threat. It's ordinary on the surface, so it won't generate such a great evil energy, right?" Although there was a hint of doubt in his words, there was also a sense of understanding. The respect and temptation of Shen Yu's judgment.
Shen Yu smiled secretly in his heart, how could he not know that this was because Gu Zhengyan was embarrassed to question himself directly out of politeness and status considerations, but cleverly asked Liao Wansan to speak for him.
He was not annoyed and said calmly: "Senior Liao, Shi Zhi, as the name suggests, relies on rocks to survive. Please ask someone to find a big rock.
"By the way, let's find some fresh water and a few pots of flowers so that I can further verify it."
The Shen family has always been known for being efficient and quick in doing things. As soon as Shen Yu finished speaking, everything he needed was moved under the tree one by one in just a few minutes.
For a moment, the nursing staff, both men and women, gathered around and stared at Shen Yu, eager to know what he would do next.
Shen Yu walked steadily to the tool he had just used for digging. He searched among the many tools for a moment and finally selected an iron clamp.
He held an iron clamp and carefully picked up the "shizhi" steadily. Then, he slowly walked to a grinding stone and gently placed the "shizhi" on it.
Then, he turned around and walked towards the place where the wooden bucket was placed. He picked up the water ladle and poured a ladle full of water into the bucket. Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he gently poured the water in the ladle onto the Shizhi.
With a sizzling sound, in an instant, a strange scene happened that made people's eyes widen.
The water near Shi Zhi seemed to have been enchanted by magic. Within just a few breaths, it quickly solidified into a layer of frost. The frost spread rapidly, and a few seconds later formed a layer of crystal clear ice shell on the stone surface.
Another gourd of water was poured on it, and an even more magical sight appeared. The entire stone surface where Shi Zhi was sitting turned into mist.
The mist rises slowly and surrounds Shizhi, adding a more mysterious color to it.
This wasn't the end yet. Shen Yu walked over to a pot of chrysanthemums and scanned the flowers, finally stopping at a few blooming chrysanthemums.
He stretched out his hand and gently picked off a few ink chrysanthemums. Then with a flick of his wrist, he threw these ink chrysanthemums near Shi Zhi.
At this moment, something incredible happened again.
In just one breath, these originally delicate and vibrant chrysanthemums withered and withered in an instant, as if their life force had been sucked away by an invisible hand.
The petals became dry and fragile, and the flowers lost their original erectness and beauty, and drooped feebly on the ground. The once vibrant vitality was completely gone, leaving only silence and decay.
"Ah, this? What is going on?"
Upon seeing this, all the nursing staff couldn't help but take a few steps back, with complicated expressions of fear and awe on their faces, feeling deeply afraid of Shi Zhi's strange power.
The good news is that if you touch a flower, if someone touches it, isn't it possible that the cold force will instantly invade your body and freeze you to a serious illness?
Isn’t that right?
However, at this moment, they suddenly realized something even more astonishing. Master Shen just lifted Shi Zhi up with his bare hands, right?
How is this possible? Shi Zhi's power is so terrifying, but Master Shen can be safe and sound. How great must he be?
Could it be that he has cultivated to a state where he is transcendent and holy, and is not afraid of evil spirits?
The guards looked at me and I looked at you. Their eyes were full of doubts and wonders. They felt more and more mysterious about Shen Yu's identity and abilities, and the awe in their hearts continued to rise like a tide.
"Xiao Shen, can you give me some advice on how to deal with this thing?" Gu Zhengyan asked with a worried face, his eyes wandering back and forth between Shi Zhi and Shen Yu, as if expecting Shen Yu to help him think of a solution. A foolproof strategy.
Shen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a trace of determination flashed in his deep starry eyes, "When you don't know the good or bad, you always act according to the bad. Mr. Gu, in my opinion, burn it! Only in this way can we completely cut off this A potential source of danger.”
When Gu Zhengyan heard this, there was a trace of hesitation and hesitation on his face. He said with some worry: "We don't know whether it will be good or bad, so we can just find a remote place and throw it away. If we burn it, will it offend it?"
Shen Yu smiled softly, trying to appease Gu Zhengyan's worries, and continued to explain patiently, "Mr. Gu, you don't have to be so worried.
"From a dual perspective of metaphysics and science, everything in the world has its destination. After burning it, dust will return to dust and dust will return to earth, so what's the point of not being offended?
"Besides, this thing is not a normal plant. It goes against the rules of natural growth and appears here suddenly, thus triggering such a serious feng shui crisis for the Gu family.
"And from a Feng Shui perspective, if you encounter such an unusual and weird thing, burning it and returning it to dust is the best choice!"
