Chapter 120 Chapter 119 Since ancient times, good tea is like a beautiful woman

Thousands of miles away, there is also a temporary paradise, which is Sanhua Mountain, a mountain layered in light clouds. Every season is a magnificent picture. Xiaoqiu and Yuan Mei have been living on the mountain for a while. During this time, Han was busy dealing with the Qianzhuang's siege and the famous harassment after the siege was withdrawn. He didn't spend too much energy with them and gave them relative freedom. They enjoyed a rare moment of peace.They didn't fully realize that the danger was so close, but Xiaoqiu subconsciously felt a little uneasy occasionally, but couldn't explain why.

This anxiety comes from the occasional, fleeting evil in Han's eyes, and from the uncertainty of the future. Xiaoqiu has always believed in his sixth sense, and it is this feeling that has saved him from danger many times. When arranging accommodation, Madam Gu insisted on accompanying Yuan Mei, while Yuan Mei insisted that Xiao Qiu live nearby.Han said that the farmhouse where Yuan Mei lived had no spare rooms. Just find any place.Xiao Qiu smiled nonchalantly: It's okay, I can sleep even in the nearby stall. So, under Han's eyes that were about to burst into flames, Xiao Qiu slept peacefully in the nearby shed.

The strange thing is that Mrs. Gu didn't come home for two nights. Yuan Mei asked her quietly, but she couldn't find out why. When she asked her again, she burst into tears and didn't say a word, which made Yuan Mei feel shadowed in her heart. Xiaoqiu didn't sleep well at night, firstly because she was worried about Mrs. Gu, and secondly because there was a peerless beauty living in the house, which made her dreamy and dreamy.When I was a child, I heard that the bearded prince Guan Yu returned to Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period, and he rested in a post on the road. He wanted to disturb the etiquette of his monarch and ministers, so that Guan Yu and his second sister-in-law lived in the same room.Guan Gong stood outdoors holding a candle, and he was never tired from night to day.At that time, Xiaoqiu admired her very much.

However, when he stood outdoors, or lay down in the shed, and saw Yuan Mei's graceful and undulating silhouette by the window, he understood why Guan Yu became a saint, while he himself was simply a hopeless layman. Did he forget the pure tenderness so quickly?Is it just a momentary loneliness that becomes a lifetime fault?When he thinks of Chun, the woman who once gave him the warmth of his home, he feels a little sore in his heart, feels a little regretful and guilty, and feels sorry for Chun. What's more, Yuan Mei is also the woman his best friend Lin Xiaofeng really likes. He has no confidence in feelings. He is not the kind of person that everyone thinks that is so sure about feelings. He hopes that he is, but he is not.

He couldn't stop his yearning for Chun, and he couldn't stop his longing for Yuan Mei's body. One rainy spring morning, Yuan Mei felt that Xiaoqiu had been guarding outside all night, and it was very difficult to protect him, so she called him into the house to drink tea, but he hesitated, and went in slowly. An ancient poem says: Wuya absorbs all the fragrant dragon fat, which means that the aroma of high mountain tea is particularly good, and the taste is particularly mellow.Tea trees like warmth, humidity, and shade. People often describe the relationship between high mountain tea and environmental conditions vividly by using fog to lock thousands of trees, clouds to open thousands of onions, fragrance floating thousands of miles away, and taste in a cup.

The soil, environment, climate, sunshine and vegetation of Mount Sanhua are very suitable for growing tea.In the past few days, here, for the first time, Xiaoqiu has the opportunity to taste and appreciate the tea ceremony completely, from planting, picking, drying, roasting greens to storage, tea sets, tea art and a series of activities. On the mountain, tea has become a part of people's life. a part of. The Book of Songs says: Having women is like tea.A beautiful woman is like a good tea.A good tea cannot be tasted just once.Once you understand it, it is a feeling that you will never forget after many years.

Can he taste Yuan Mei's taste? The lightness of tea is the essence of femininity.The faint astringency is a special femininity unique to beauties. Yuan Mei slowly boiled a pot of fragrant tea for Xiaoqiu, burned incense, prepared utensils, selected water, made fire, waited for soup, and practiced tea.She is dedicated, pious, and her face is unparalleled in the world, which makes people's heart beat. Xiaoqiu knelt down on the tatami, and slowly put a cup of Hanyuan tea that Yuan Mei had brought over to her lips, watching the leaves slowly unfurl, the rising heat, the cloud steaming and the rosy clouds, and the faint tea fragrance, the tea slowly spread out. Stretching out, showing the true color of a bud and one leaf, two leaves, single bud, and single leaf, it gradually becomes full, sinks to the bottom of the cup, delicate and ethereal, and after a shallow sip, it continuously surges rich, delicate, The long-lasting passion stays on the lips and the tip of the tongue, much like the heart opened by a graceful woman for you, there will be slight ripples in the bottom of my heart!

The quality of a cup of tea depends not only on the tea itself, but also on the brewing water.Tea and water are a natural match.Only water makes the tea flow, with life, emotion and taste. At this moment, Xiaoqiu almost completely forgot the purpose of this trip, the sinister world, and the hidden needle.Can some people and some things really be forgotten? Watery tenderness slowly spread in the room. After a long time, Xiaoqiu broke the silence and asked tentatively: You called me because you wanted to tell me something, didn't you? Yes. We are running out of time, please speak as soon as possible if you have anything to say.Xiaoqiu said: After Han dealt with Qian Zhuang, he would free up his hands to deal with us.

Why is he against us?Yuan Mei opened her beautiful eyes: We came here to look for him. If he is really a needle, we will be in a very dangerous situation.Xiaoqiu said in a deep voice: Sanhua Mountain is dangerous. On the one hand, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Um. I don't know who Han is, but I know that Needle is the most evil and terrifying person we have met in this life.Xiaoqiu said slowly: I have a feeling that the mystery is about to be revealed. We are getting closer and closer to the needle, and the closer we are to it, the more dangerous it is, because we are in the open. It will bind us tightly like a net, and suck us dry like a leech.

Therefore, we must plan for the worst and make the most thorough preparations.What Xiaoqiu is worried about is Yuan Mei, if something changes, can she be taken out of the mountain safely. Yuan Mei shook her head and said: Mrs. Gu told me privately that Han is a very powerful person, and it will be very difficult for you to deal with him.In addition to developing the best Hanyuan tea, Han and Yuan also learned swordsmanship through the tea ceremony and created a unique set of Hanyuan swordsmanship.The greatest power of this set of swordsmanship lies in the combination of two swords, yin and yang complement each other, making it invincible in the world.

Don't worry, no one in this world is invincible.Xiaoqiu caressed the blade lightly, her eyes were firm: the method was thought up by people, I believe that there must be flaws in the Hanyuan sword technique. What is the flaw? Xiaoqiu said: I don't know yet, but I believe I can find out. Yuan Mei said: There is another way.This sword technique requires both Han and Yuan to strike at the same time in order to have the greatest power.At that time, as long as the two people are separated, you deal with Han, and I will deal with Yuan with all my strength, the success or failure is unknown. Well, it might be a way. However, according to Mrs. Gu, the two of them didn't spend much time together.Yuan Mei said: To deal with this kind of sword technique, the key is to understand it.Picking up a cup of tea and taking a sip, Yuan Mei continued: Tea is a kind of indifferent life, and sword is unspeakable loneliness.Hanyuan swordsmanship is different from using tea to understand Tao and using Tao to control the sword. To control the sword with Tao?Speaking of his understanding of the sword, Xiao Qiu couldn't help but look solemn. Yes.Yuan Mei said: I showed you the art of tea just now, in the hope that you can understand something in the process and atmosphere of tea tasting. Thanks. Tea is a kind of culture with a long history and profound knowledge.China was the first country in the world to discover and utilize tea trees.The origin of tea was first seen in the Chinese book "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", which is the oldest medicine book in the world.It is said that Shen Nong was the first person to discover and use tea. Legend has it that he once tasted herbs and used tea to detoxify after being poisoned.The Tang Dynasty was a peak in the history of tea and tea culture development.By the mid-Tang Dynasty, brewing and drinking tea had been considered an elegant artistic act.Tea can be used to practice Taoism, and tea can be used to achieve elegance.It was during this period that tea ceremony spread to Dongying. Xiaoqiu is a swordsman, never an orphan, to put it nicely, he is a hero who ventured into the rivers and lakes; to put it bluntly, he is a person who earns his living by hard work, with a low cultural background, and cannot fully comprehend this kind of profound tea ceremony for a while , I heard it in a fog.It's too complicated, what's the use of saying so much?He couldn't help shouting: Can you make it simpler? Yuan Mei smiled: Of course it works, okay, let me make a long story short.Just be patient, okay? Later, Dongying produced a great master of tea ceremony, Sen Rikyu.Yuan Mei said: Qian Lixiu has gathered the great achievements of tea ceremony, advocated the simplification of the tea room, the creativity of the garden, the small and exquisite tea bowl, and the mutual use of wood and bamboo, forming a unique style of Qianjialiu tea method.It was this Qian Lixiu who devoted himself to cultivating his character, and finally enlightened to the Tao with tea, controlled the sword with the Tao, and realized a set of sword skills from the tea ceremony. Knife?Isn't it swordsmanship? no.Yuan Mei said: Dongying Samurai Xi Dao, a slightly curved Tang Dao.Because it is shaped like a seedling, it is also called a seedling knife. The Caoji Sword, the three major artifacts in Japan, is a Tang knife, not a sword.There are thousands of swordsmanship, and Zen tea is blind.Qianxiuli's sword technique learned from the tea ceremony and Zen Buddhism, combined with the character of the Japanese people, has its own style. It is very different from the Central Plains. It is violent in the calm, weird and fierce. ! Xiaoqiu had also heard about the Japanese swordsmanship, and knew what she said was true, so she couldn't help but sighed. Later, Sen Rikyu was forced to commit suicide by general Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and his skills were inherited by his grandson.One of the granddaughters escaped disaster and came to the Central Plains. Xiaoqiu said: The one who came is the source? Yes.Later, Yuan met Han, and they fell in love at first sight because of tea. They studied together, and then combined Han's swordsmanship to create Hanyuan swordsmanship together.Yuan Mei said: Therefore, this set of swordsmanship is not a simple swordsmanship, but one person wields the sword and the other wields the saber, complementing the advantages and disadvantages of the sword and the saber, making use of their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses. Really have a set, so powerful!This nation is indeed not to be underestimated!When Xiaoqiu heard the slapping case, her heart was ups and downs, and she couldn't control herself for a long time. Half a cup of scented tea gradually cooled down, leaving only residual heat, with a faint fragrance lingering. So.Xiaoqiu said: How should we find a way to crack it? Yuan Mei said: "I don't know the specific method, but although I don't know swordsmanship, I have learned the tea ceremony. I think, there is no water without a source, and a tree without a root. We should find it from the tea ceremony." Xiaoqiu's eyes lit up. I can't think of why for a while, only some immature ideas.Yuan Mei said.The Chinese tea ceremony culture has a profound heritage.An old pot, a cup of tea soup, in your hand, casual and willful, without so many rules and regulations, no matter the details, but it has a fascinating charm.Confucianism advocates benevolence and justice, Taoism emphasizes non-dispute, Buddhist teachings promote compassion, society respects harmony, and the idea of ​​seeking great harmony has profoundly influenced generations of people.Tea ceremony, like kendo, should embody a state of returning to nature and returning to nature. Xiaoqiu nodded thoughtfully: I understand.Do you really understand? Xiaoqiu laughed: I only know that I should drink tea when I want to drink it, eat when I want to eat, and use my sword when I want to draw it. I don’t care about the tea ceremony. Yuan Mei's eyes were like water, she nodded with a smile: Maybe, you really understand.
