Chapter 1855 - Sit and Talk

Hearing that the other party was so tough, Liu Qingyu didn't have any dissatisfaction and anger, just smiled faintly: "No ask, around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, we will be in the teahouse on time." ”

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, outside the antique Tianlong Teahouse, Liu Qingyu and Qin Shuai got out of the car and walked towards the Tianlong Teahouse.

This is an indoor courtyard style tea house, the outside is a red brick and white wall, the wall tiles are full of classical style, the gate is an archway, the archway is written with dragon flying phoenix dance several seal characters - Tianlong Tea House.

Entering the gate, the courtyard is deep, pavilions, winding paths, flowers, arches, corridors, small bridges and flowing water, walking into the courtyard, as if walking into the ancient Jiangnan courtyard, into the history. The tranquility of the environment and the exquisite design do not belong to the Jiangnan garden.

Walk through the winding corridor, smell the flowers and birds on both sides, and come to the door of the teahouse.

On both sides of the door stood two beautiful women in cheongsams with slender figures, standing there, swaying. Looking at the faces, the two beauties on the left are petite and exquisite, with fair skin and delicate faces, typical Jiangnan women. The one on the right is dressed tall, slender, and although the face is not as delicate as the two beauties on the left, it is also full of typical northern characteristics. It's pleasing to the eye.

Before entering the teahouse, he appreciated the beauty first, and the charm was endless.

Liu Qingyu's eyes just glanced at the four beauties, and without the slightest hesitation, he stepped forward directly, and a beautiful woman opened the antique door for Liu Qingyu, and Yingying Yanyan's voice came out neatly: "Welcome." ”

Raise your legs high over the threshold and step inside. The first floor is an exhibition hall, and the walls and tables around it are covered with literati calligraphy and paintings, antique cultural relics, and exquisite ceramics. Walking into this place, it is like walking into the corridor of Chinese classical culture and art.

Liu Qingyu took a look at it, and these antique relics were all genuine, and there were even some fine products. In particular, the literati calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall include the works of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest and the works of modern masters.

At this time, a tall young woman of about thirty years old wearing a big red sleeveless cheongsam walked over in the hall, looked at Liu Qingyu and Qin Shuai with a smile and said, "Are you the guests who came to participate in the tea fight?"

Liu Qingyu nodded lightly.

"Let's go with me, but today's situation is a little special, originally my boss promised to have a tea fight with you, but it happened that a Japanese guest came not long ago, and this guest also asked to have a tea fight with my boss, so our boss temporarily decided to join this Japanese guest during the tea fight. The young woman did not speak in a consultative tone, but in a tone of notice.

After listening to this, Liu Qingyu still just nodded faintly and didn't care.

Walk up the wooden staircase to the second floor and enter a large hall, where a light smell of sandalwood wafts into your face.

Entering the hall, Liu Qingyu saw two people sitting in front of a moderately high and wide rosewood tea table.

Sitting on the main seat is an old man about 50 years old, with black hair and ruddy complexion, wearing a red Tang suit, wearing a five-eyed conch dzi on his hand.

To the left of this man sat a man dressed in a traditional Japanese samurai attire, about forty years old, about 1.65 meters tall, with a flat head, a mustache under his nose, his eyes shining with a sparkle on his face, and a proud look on his face.

At this time, the man wearing the five-eyed dzi raised his head and glanced at Liu Qingyu and Qin Shuai lightly, and said with a smile: "Since you are here, let's sit down, today, everyone's goal is very simple, that is, to fight tea, Mr. Sagawa Suzuki, you don't mind adding one more friend to fight tea, right?"

Sagawa Suzuki glanced at Liu Qingyu and Qin Shuai disdainfully, and said arrogantly in some voiced Chinese: "What is there to mind about this, in my eyes, your Chinese tea ceremony has already been reported, and the only one who can be called a tea ceremony is our Japanese tea ceremony." ”

After Sagawa's words were finished, the five-eyed dzi man did not answer, but his brows furrowed, but his eyes looked at Liu Qingyu and Qin Shuai.

Liu Qingyu said directly and coldly: "Mr. Sagawa, I don't agree with your statement. I believe that the real tea ceremony begins in our Huaxia. Your Japanese tea culture is also deeply influenced by our Chinese tea ceremony, and even tea was introduced to your Japan from our Chinese people, right?"

At this time, the five-eyed dzi man suddenly said: "Friends, I think our tea fight today is divided into two parts, the first part is to sit and talk about the Tao, let's discuss the tea ceremony first, and see how your tea ceremony realm is." When this part is over, we're going to have a real tea fight, what do you think?"

Liu Qingyu did not make the decision directly, but looked at Qin Shuai. The reason why he refuted Sagawa Suzuki just now was because Liu Qingyu had done research on the traditional Chinese tea ceremony after all, although he was not as profound as Qin Shuai's comprehension, but he also had some understanding of the real tea ceremony culture. And Sagawa is simply reversing black and white. This is something that Liu Qingyu can't tolerate no matter what. But once it comes to the level of sitting and talking about the Tao, Liu Qingyu knows that he can't reach it, and he can only look at Qin Shuai's meaning.

Qin Shuai smiled and nodded: "Okay, no problem." ”

The five-eyed dzi man's gaze stayed on Liu Qingyu and Qin Shuai's faces for a moment, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he already knew the positioning between Liu Qingyu and Qin Shuai. However, when he saw that Qin Shuai was only about thirty years old, there was still a trace of disdain in his eyes. In his opinion, if you want to truly understand the tea ceremony, you can't be proficient without decades of experience in tea tasting and tea fighting, and without decades of research on tea culture and Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. The traditional Chinese culture has a long history, and the culture of any of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism is enough to make a person spend his whole life studying and may not be able to achieve much. And how much research can these two young people, who are only about 30 years old, have?

Sagawa Suzuki nodded without the slightest hesitation.

As a descendant of the Japanese tea ceremony school, Sagawa-ryu, he is confident that there are few who can surpass him in the tea ceremony.

When the dzi man heard Sagawa Suzuki's answer, he smiled slightly, then looked at Qin Shuai and Liu Qingyu and said, "If you want to fight tea with me, you need to pass my first test first, and my test for you this time is, do you know the origin and meaning of my bracelet?"

Liu Qingyu doesn't play with bracelets, so he doesn't have any research on this thing.

Qin Shuai's gaze just glanced at the other party's bracelet, and then said lightly: "This is just a string of five-eyed dzi." ”

Hearing Qin Shuai say this, the Dzi man was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this young man to really call out the name of his bracelet, and then he asked with a smile: "Then do you know what the meaning of this bead string is, why is it called a five-eyed dzi?"

Qin Shuai smiled faintly: "This bead string has three eyes on the front and two eyes on the back, which is collectively called the five-eyed dzi." The five eyes represent the Buddha, the lotus, the vajra, the treasure and the karma, and the five gods of wealth gather together to take the meaning of invincible, auspicious and joyful. The Book of Changes says: The number of days is five, the number of places is five, so the human body has five fingers, five senses, five internal organs, five flavors and five grains, and human ethics has five long, five Lun and five rigid, and Buddhism educates the five aggregates - lust and desire to do knowledge. ”

After Qin Shuai finished speaking, the face of the dzi man really changed this time, and when he looked at Qin Shuai again, there was already a bit of solemnity in his eyes.

But Liu Qingyu has a calm expression, in his opinion, although Qin Shuai is not very reliable sometimes, but in terms of the inheritance and research of traditional Chinese culture, in Liu Qingyu's opinion, the only one who can surpass Qin Shuai is probably the wonderful teammate he met when he was a soldier. That teammate was one of the weirdest beings in their special forces. In terms of division of labor, he is a military doctor, it can be said that traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are used in his hands, and his understanding of traditional Chinese culture is even more profound to the point that Liu Qingyu feels admired.

Liu Qingyu thinks that he has a relatively in-depth study of Confucianism, but compared with this teammate, Liu Qingyu is ashamed of himself, and under the influence of this teammate, almost everyone's understanding of the traditional culture of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism has reached a very advanced level. is a good teacher, and when he has nothing to do, he tells them about his understanding of the traditional culture of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, especially when he treats his teammates, and when he is a teacher, at this time, no one dares to offend him, even if he doesn't like to listen, he has to listen, so everyone is used to it.

However, with Liu Qingyu's understanding of Qin Shuai, even if Qin Shuai's understanding of traditional culture is not as good as that teammate, it is not much worse, but in terms of understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, Liu Qingyu believes that even any teammate may not be able to surpass Qin Shuai.

At this time, the Dzi man suddenly asked, "What is the five-eyed merit?"

"The five ways to enter the wealth, the invincible, the road to enjoy the pass, you can get the blessing and help of the five Buddhas, the five gods of wealth, etc., and the gods of the earth, and get wealth and longevity. This is called the five-eyed merit. ”

"What are the Five Eyes interests?"

"Get the empowerment of the five Buddhas, the five ways to enter the wealth, the five blessings to come to the door, the five sons to ascend the department, etc. It symbolizes heaven and earth, and the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are born together, and all things are in vientiane. ”

"What is the zodiac sign corresponding to the five-eyed dzi?"

"Horses, sheep, monkeys!"

Between a question and an answer, it is like flowing water, smooth and natural.

At this point, the dzi man completely wiped out his contempt for Qin Shuai and Liu Qingyu, his expression became serious, and he asked, "On the five-eyed dzi, is there any good product?"

Qin Shuai said: "Yes, it is called the Nine-Eyed Dzi! The Nine-Eyed Dzi is the highest grade of the Dzi, which can avoid all calamities, increase compassion, have prominent authority, and have great benefits. In the Dzi Cultivation Virtue, the Nine Eyes contain the symbols and artistic conceptions of all the totems, and the final state of Buddhist practice, the Nine Pins Lotus Blossom is reborn. Nine also symbolizes the unpredictable, unsurpassable, and infinitely vast realm. The Nine Eyes symbolize the movement of the nine planets in nature, including the movement of the universe and the thinking of human beings, turning the weak into strong, and represent the merit of the nine vehicles, the final state of Buddhist practice, and the rebirth of the Nine Pins of Lotus. ”

After Qin Shuai finished speaking, the dzi man nodded lightly: "Okay, you have passed." The following question, the two of you can say your own understanding, if I think what you say is unreasonable, just eliminate it. My question is, what is tea?"

It was a very simple question, but it made Sagawa Suzuki and Qin Shuai all frown.
