Chapter 25 Dragon and Tiger Forging Jade Paste
There are many creatures on the mangrove tidal flats, not just fish and crabs, but some other creatures.
When Cai Hongming came to it, he saw large and small hairy crabs lying on the mudflats under the mangroves spitting bubbles. When these things saw people coming, they ran into their holes, and they were in a mess.
The island is far away from people, so no one comes here to catch hairy crabs. This gives the hairy crabs on the island space to reproduce and live. From generation to generation, the number of hairy crabs here is very considerable, large in size, and only fat. Cai Hongming picked up some of the larger ones back. Then he took a plastic bucket at the place where his uncle put things and looked for red wolf-toothed tiger fish in the mangroves. When he was looking for it, he saw large bullet-spread fish jumping around on the mudflats, so he caught some.
Although the big bullet-slapped fish is relatively small and has no meat, it is better because of its deliciousness.
I don’t know what’s going on, wild things are often better than domestic ones. For example, chickens, free-range and feed-raising tastes different. Free-range chickens are tougher in meat and harder in bones than feed-raising. The same is true for fish. Most of the fish raised in ponds have a scent of earth, and even have the taste of feed-raising. Maybe they don’t feel like eating it when they are just cooked, but when they are cold, they can’t taste it.
After catching a bunch of scattered things, Cai Hongming had a great harvest even if he didn't fish. However, the old fishermen who came to the island also gained a lot.
This place is a sea area with abundant fish resources, and with the means of their old fishermen, it is difficult for them to catch fish. Sometimes when you are lucky, you will get a lot of harvest when you come over.
With these harvests, when the sky was full of red clouds, a group of people took a cruise ship and left in the sunset. The pink manta rays playing below floated up and flew for a while, saying goodbye to her.
In the evening, Cai Hongming made another delicious meal, and the remaining seafood was taken back by his friend Cai Zhengxian. After dinner and resting for a while, he did not go to the hot spring with Cai Zhengxian, but went around from Zhenwei Village and came to the rocky beach behind the village.
At this time, the tide was rising, and the huge rocks that were originally standing in the sea were all submerged by the sea water, leaving only a few tall stone pillars that emerged from the water.
Cai Hongming took a look, took off his clothes and walked into the sea.
He slowly walked into the water until he drowned his head. He realized that his idea of practicing qigong in the sea seemed too simple. He forgot the buoyancy of the sea water. As soon as he entered the water, he felt his body floating up. How could he practice martial arts like this? Suddenly, he had a sudden inspiration, ran ashore, found two big stones tied to his feet, so that he could barely stand in the sea.
He walked slowly and came to the rocks that were flooded by the sea.
At this moment, the tide that was rushing towards him after several twists of rocks was tangled. Unpredictable, his body became unstable and was washed backwards. He had to move his body back a little, so as not to be affected by the dark waves wrapped around the rocks.
It seems that the seabed is indeed a good place to practice Feihequan, especially in this rocky beach.
The rocky beach was impacted by the undulating tide, and the huge hydraulic power brought about by the undercurrents below was just enough to be used to train the body.
I have been too lazy in recent years. I have been practicing for three days and drying the net for two days, and my body and flesh have relaxed. This time I exercise with sea water, I should be able to practice again, after all, my foundation is still there. Thinking about it, Cai Hongming started practicing Feihequan in the sea.
The fist is released and the fist is closed, the fist is raised and the fist falls, bringing up waves, which is very testic about people.
At first, Cai Hongming was not used to it, but after a while, he gradually got used to it, and his boxing skills gradually became proficient from being rigid.
One night, he was practicing his arms were weak and his back was sore. He went back to take a shower, and was so tired that he lay on the bed that he didn't want to get up. However, he knew that it was not the time to rest, so he took out the black jade gourd from the blessing land of the cave in the jade tripod and drank some water-double toad liquid, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to practice the ancient guide technique of fetal breathing.
He was speechless all night. When he woke up again, Cai Hongming felt energetic. He was wiped out by the fatigue caused by practicing martial arts last night, but his bones were still sore.
It seems that it is not that easy to develop a good skill.
Cai Hongming sighed as he got off the bed, got dressed and washed, and was about to go to have a meal, but suddenly he remembered the books his grandfather gave him. He didn't read them much after he took them back. However, when he was reading them in the grandfather's room, he seemed to see a prescription for treating muscle and bone aches caused by martial arts practice.
Thinking of this, he quickly took out the books containing the ointment recipes given to him by his grandfather and started reading.
The book indeed records a prescription called "Dragon and Tiger Forging Jade Paste". This prescription is a plaster with dragon and tiger bones as the main ones and other medicinal materials as the supplement. According to the book, this plaster can also be turned into a bathing decoction to cleanse the body, but the amount of medicine used is a bit too much, so Cai Hongming didn't consider it.
If the decoctions are used according to the book, even if his family has collected these medicines, they may not be able to be used several times.
After looking at the ointment recipe, Cai Hongming recorded all the portions of medicinal materials in his heart, and then went out to have a meal.
After dinner, he took a small portion of the Dragon and Tiger Forging Jade Paste from the pharmacy to crush the medicinal materials, mixed them with their own keel powder, and found a small red mud stove and casserole to prepare to boil the plaster in the backyard.
He didn't know what the effect of the plaster recorded in the book was, so he took a small portion first to try the effect.
Dragon and Tiger Forging Jade Paste is an ointment, and the method of boiling is more complicated than last time to refine the keel bone sore cream. First, soak the crushed medicinal materials in lard for a long time. After the medicinal materials are infiltrated with lard, the medicinal materials can be placed on the stove and tortured over a low heat. After boiling to a certain level, the medicinal materials must be taken out and cooled, and then put them down to torture. This is repeated three times. After the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials are all fryed and refined, the medicinal residue will be filtered. After the plaster is cooled, the plaster will be made.
The Dragon and Tiger Forging Jade Paste is very cool when applied, but if it is combined with the heat in the skin, it will become hot. This heat penetrates into the bones and will feel itchy.
Cai Hongming applied a little on his hands and felt itchy. This itchy penetrated into his bones and body, but it was still in a tolerable range.
It was also strange that after the itch, he felt that his body aches decreased. At this time, Cai Hongming had to sigh at the magic of the plaster left by his ancestors.
