Chapter 30 Tea Ceremony
"Two new flags under Baiyun Peak, greasy green, fresh valley and rainy spring." Yang Wentong sat down, looked at Le Tian and Zhang Zixuan, and said slowly, "This tea is the Longjing in front of Shifeng Mountain, and it is an authentic 'daughter red'."
"Daughter Red? What is daughter red? Not only Le Tian, but also Zhang Zixuan is a little curious.
"Ha ha, this 'daughter red' is the tea picked by unmarried girls before the Qingming Festival. It is not picked with hands, but with lips. Because the tea leaves pinched off with fingers can't be removed after making tea leaves. Moreover, if the leaves stay in the hand for a moment, the temperature of the hand will make the leaves The film changes from green to red. Not to mention the taste is not good, it doesn't look very good! Therefore, a skilled tea picker can only pick tender buds every day, twelve taels per person, so it is extremely precious and can be called the best of the treasures.
"I didn't expect that picking a tea would be so tedious and difficult." Zhang Zixuan sighed and said to himself.
"It's more than that! This Longjing tea is mostly planted on slopes that are close to mountains and water, which can receive sufficient sunshine, rain and is easy to drain. Spring picking, summer hoeing, autumn shearing, winter fertilizer, can't be delayed at all. There is an old saying, 'People miss a season of tea, and tea miss people for a year'. This is the case with tea and tea picking, not to mention the more complicated way of stir-frying tea. Little brother, nothing is that simple!" Yang Wentong looked at Zhang Zixuan thoughtfully.
Seeing Zhang Zixuan looking down at the tea in the cup, he explained, "Look, the leaves of Longjing are first spread, and the page is flat and smooth. This is the best tea, the real lotus heart tea.
Zhang Zixuan and Le Tian remembered to look at the tea in the cup. The Longjing tea is flat and smooth in shape, the seedling is sharp, the buds are longer than the leaves, the color is tender green, the body surface is hairless, the meridians are clear, and the bottom of the leaves are tender green, which is very complete. Sure enough, the tender buds burst out like a lotus heart, which is worthy of being the authentic pre-Mingming "daughter red" lotus heart.
At this moment, several maidservants came in with several teapots.
"Tea is still good for me to make." Yang Wentong carefully put the tea set held by the maidservants on the table. Seeing the two children watching, he said with a smile, "Come on!" Don't be polite!"
Zhang Zixuan and Le Tian looked at each other, and then they all stood up, ran to Yang Wentong and stood up, looking at the tea set on the table.
"This tea ceremony tool is known as the 'Four Treasures', which are Mengchen Cang, Ruochen Ou, Yushu Gli, and Chaoshan Oven." Mr. Yang Wentong explained while fiddling with the tools: "This Mengchen jar is made of purple sand from Yixing. This kind of purple sand pot is not only unique in shape and rich in color, but also has good water absorption. The fragrance of brewed tea can last for a long time. The longer the teapot is used, the more mellow the aroma of the tea will be. My teapot is dark purple in color, and it has been used for a long time. It is barely the best in Mengchen jar.
He picked up the canned jade book crusher and said, "This jade book crusher is not worthy of praise, but to keep the spring water clean and sweet. But the spring water of Hupao Spring in it is rare near the capital. It is the best product for making Longjing tea.
Zhang Zixuan and Le Tian looked at it and didn't feel special, but they still looked at it carefully.
After Yang Wentong packed up, he said to the two, "The kung fu of making tea is to have a clean and incompetual environment. Don't make a sound later, otherwise it will disturb the tea environment. If you have any doubts, please ask later.
After saying that, Yang Wentong lit a fine incense and inserted it in the incense burner in the center of the table. Suddenly, the room was full of sandalwood, which was peaceful and solemn. Burning incense to get rid of delusions has completed the first step of tea tasting - "scenting".
After Yang Wentong lit the Chaoshan oven, he first poured the jade book crusher, Mengchen jar and Ruochen Ou, both inside and outside with the prepared boiling water. The ice heart goes to the world, this is the second step of tea tasting - "wash the cup".
Put the jade book crusher on the Chaoshan oven. After boiling, Yang Wentong took off the jade book crusher, put it aside, and raised it for a while. Take this opportunity to shake all the tea leaves in a small plate into the Mengchen jar. The jade pot nourishes Taihe, and the Qing Palace welcomes the beautiful woman. This is the third and fourth step of the tea ceremony - "cool soup" and "tea".
After finishing it, Yang Wentong first poured some tiger running spring water into Mengchen's pot, and the tea suddenly overflowed with fragrance, which made people salivate. Then, Yang Wentong poured all the water in the jade book into the Mengchen jar, and then scraped off the foam from the mouth of the pot with the lid of the Mengchen jar, covered the lid of the pot, and washed away the foam generated by the top of the pot. The process of "moistening tea" and "rineing pot" is also finished.
At this time, it was the wonderful place. Yang Wentong held the pot and ran around the tea tray, dripping the water droplets at the bottom of the pot, which was a brewing for the tea. Then poured the tea in the pot into each cup. It's also very interesting to pour tea. It's not to pour it all at once, but to pour, to collect, to pour, to to to tossss, so rhythmically rise and fall three times, to do the "three nod" to pour Ruochen with tea.
When Yang Wentong saw that Zhang Zixuan and Le Tian seemed to be impatient to drink it all, he quickly stopped him and said, "The so-called 'three mouths know the taste, and you will be moved three times'. Don't be impetuous when tasting tea. You should carefully taste the mystery of it.
When Zhang Zixuan heard what Yang Wentong said, he smelled the faint fragrance of tea and entered a mysterious realm. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea. It felt as if it had no taste, just like ordinary rotten tea.
Zhang Zixuan didn't seem to care, and took a second bite. He suddenly felt that this second talent was really the best, a fairy! The fragrance in the mouth is fragrant and comfortable, and the lips and teeth are fragrant. It is so beautiful that people can't help swallowing, and they just wait for it to flow into their throats.
Zhang Zixuan's eyes were chaotic. He picked up the teacup and drank the third sip. But I feel that this third mouthful seems to have returned to the first mouthful. It's light and tasteless.
After drinking, Zhang Zixuan suddenly shook, and the third bite seemed to appear slowly! Although it is not as mellow as the second sip, the feeling of stretching makes Zhang Zixuan unforgettable for a long time.
"This thing is only because it is in the sky. How many times have you heard it in the world?" Zhang Zixuan can only think of this sentence to describe the deliciousness of Longjing tea.
"In fact, everything in the world is accessible, and it can be said that everything can enter the Tao. Zen theory also says that the source of Zen and 'forget'. As long as you enter the realm of 'forget nothing', you can understand the Zen machine. Yang Wentong said slowly. Although Zhang Zixuan and Le Tian were immersed in the magical realm brought by Longjing, they still listened to Yang Wentong's words word by word.
"The realm that appears when you taste tea, I call it 'Xiaoqian World'. In fact, the 'small world' that everyone appears in is different. It represents the real thoughts in your heart and expands them infinitely. If you want to understand it with your heart and try to sublimate it, then you will understand it.
Zhang Zixuan suddenly felt that his brain was empty and his eyes were at a loss. He could no longer hear Yang Wentong's words and entered his own world.
Nothing! It's still nothing! What's going on? Zhang Zixuan looked at everything around him doubtfully, and it was white and vague: it turned out that I didn't have my own thoughts in my heart. It turned out that I had always lived for others.
The surrounding environment suddenly changed and turned into a huge battlefield. A beautiful young man held a colorful sword in his right hand and a beautiful woman in his left hand, crying silently.
Somehow, Zhang Zixuan actually felt that the man was a little similar to himself, but the beautiful woman couldn't see her face clearly, but she felt so familiar... so familiar...
I want to be stronger! Be sure to become stronger! Zhang Zixuan suddenly made up his mind: I can't let the person I love be hurt! Even if I fall into reincarnation!
When he thought so, the environment changed again and became a place he was very strange. There was no one, only him. The wind and clouds in the sky suddenly changed, and thunder and lightning were added.
A black photoelectricity tore the space and smashed down from the sky.
Zhang Zixuan felt the power contained in it and was shocked! That's by no means what you can compete with! No! Maybe no one in the three worlds can resist the power of photoelectricity! That energy can simply open up the world!
Zhang Zixuan thought of the robbery again, but then he shook his head, and there was no comparison at all!
In an instant, the photoelectricity hit Zhang Zixuan: "Ah..."
Zhang Zixuan felt that what was on his body was stimulated. The dragon formula in the middle of the seventh floor actually ran slowly, walking around him one by one, and the speed was getting faster and faster. In the end, a dragon-shaped pattern was strangely formed in Zhang Zixuan's body.
The running trajectory of this dragon god in the body is a divine dragon, which can't be seen usually, but when the dark green aura runs quickly, it can be clearly seen.
The horned dragon in Zhang Zixuan's house also felt the change of Xiao Zixuan. He opened his eyes and called, "Lao Long! Old dragon!"
But no one promised him. Just as the horned dragon god was strange, the dragon finally responded to him: "Wow! I was controlling Zixuan's fantasy just now. This boy is good at everything, but he doesn't have his own goal. A piece of blur, how to practice such domineering kung fu as the dragon god formula? I had to help him establish this wish to become stronger.
The horned dragon frowned slightly and asked, "Can you control his mind?"
"Wrong! I just infinitely amplify his mood to become stronger, and I can only induce him, but I can't control it.
"So that's it!" The horned dragon suddenly realized, "No wonder I just felt a little strange."
Zhang Zixuan feels that his whole body is full of aura at this time. This feeling is a little strangely comfortable. In this case, will I let go of my body and mind and operate by itself?
Thinking that he really no longer controls the operation of Reiki. The well-ordered aura suddenly became chaotic. The aura in the Zifu universe gushed out, impacting Zhang Zixuan's spiritual veins one after another. Niwan, Qiongshi, Shangtian, Zifu, Shanggong, Tiangong, Kunlun, Yujingshan and Xumishan are all damaged in Shangdantian. Zhang Zixuan felt that his meridians seemed to have been hit by something, and there was pain after pain. When he wanted to control the operation of this aura again, he found that he could not control it at all!
"Nonsense!" The dragon in Zifu in Zhang Zixuan's belly roared, "It's really nonsense!"
"What's the matter?" The horned dragon felt very strange. How did the dragon, who was proud just now, look like this?
"What do you think of him? Unexpectedly, the aura in Zifu is allowed to operate on its own! This child!"
The horned dragon god was very calm: "Oh! Why not? That's how we witches practice!"
"Do you think he is your witch? There is supreme magic power in Zixuan's body! As long as his realm reaches a certain level, the cultivation of Reiki is not a problem at all. As long as he practices according to the dragon formula, he is allowed to let it go now. Maybe his aura will increase and his strength will improve quickly, but his meridians can't help tossing around like this!"
The horned dragon reminded that Zhang Zixuan was not a member of his witch religion, or even a witch. Although he was his apprentice, he did not really teach him witchcraft. The horned dragon sighed and felt that such a talented person, why can't he be a witch?
If so, the revival of the witch clan is just around the corner. Otherwise, with the power of one person, if you want to revive the witch clan, it is a fool's dream. The twelve ancestor witches have turned into darkness, and the twelve heavenly evil flags have disappeared. Even the treasure of the witch clan, the spirit and white bone staff, has been lost. How can this be revived? He did not know that Chi You, the left god of the witch in ancient times, was reborn and led the rejuvenation of the witch for a while, but it was just a failure.
Besides, this Zixuan opened the Zifu universe to practice, but he did not control himself. This aura flowing from the Zifu universe is like the east of the river, stretching endlessly, and like the Yellow River flooding, which is out of control, constantly impacting his meridians. The aura destroyed Zhang Zixuan's upper Dantian meridians and rushed to Zhongdantian.
Zhang Zixuan had no choice but to stop the flow of the aura. He could only let the aura go faster and faster. In the end, it was so fast that even the dragon in the meridians was like substance.
Inside, Zhang Zixuan's meridians were damaged and the pain was unbearable. Outside, he was also sweating and his body trembled.
Yang Wentong saw it, but he didn't know why. Others have understood this "small thousand world", poor, martial arts are advanced, across the world, good, enter the Tao with martial arts, and soar in the day. But the situation shown by Zixuan seems to be worse than the worst!
He also dares not touch Zhang Zixuan. You know, if Zhang Zixuan is entering any realm at this time, if he touches Zhang Zixuan and interrupts his understanding of this realm, he will be seriously injured and seriously killed!
At this time, the music is much better. Unfortunately, neither she nor Zhang Zixuan has three flowers on the top and five qi in the chest, so they can't see what the realm is. It's just that behind the body, there are faint golden wings, like substance.
Le Tian is not like Zhang Zixuan. She has always been naughty and can control the operation of Reiki, but she follows the rules. Moreover, she is not like Zhang Zixuan. The aura in Zhang Zixuan's universe is almost infinite, so it will be difficult to control it after letting go. The aura in Le Tian's purple mansion is not as much as that of Zhang Zixuan. Instead, he is careful, so Le Tian's realm has been progressing in an orderly manner.
What's more, if you have a heart, you will be able to see the anti-evil beads on Le Tian's chest passing through her coat, still emitting a slight light...
