Chapter 1186: Tea Tree

"The Taoist is very capable. Meng Zitao and Ah Ming praised one after another.

The old Taoist smiled slightly and waved his hand: "It's just a small path." ”

At this time, Meng Zitao took out the hand stove and put it in front of Lord Xu Guan: "Lord Guan, please see if there is any problem." ”

Xu Guan picked up the hand stove and looked at it, and said with a smile: "There is no problem, thank you Meng Jushi for helping to find it." ”

"You're welcome. Meng Zitao smiled and waved his hand, and told the story of yesterday.

Xu Guan sighed: "Hey, we all know this Yan Xiaosan, he is the junior of a friend of my master, originally I saw that he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and I persuaded him to change it back a few times, but the country is easy to change and difficult to change, and now he still can't change his own inertia!"

Ah Ming said: "That kid is not a good thing, he always wants to get something for nothing all day long, he used to gamble a lot, and his wife was almost lost by him, just because of this incident, his wife later divorced him." Therefore, this kind of persuasion is also a vain persuasion, if he can listen, it is impossible for things to get to this point. ”

The three brothers of Master Xu Guan were all stunned, it was the first time they had heard of this.

Half-ringing, Xu Guanzhu shook his head and sighed: "It's because I don't know anyone!"

Ah Ming said: "After all, you are a cultivator, you have been practicing in the mountains, and it is normal that you have not heard of him, and that kid is also very good at disguising himself, and he is very good at deceiving people." ”

Xu Guan said frankly: "My master used to tell me that if I don't experience the world, how can I see through the world?

The old Taoist chief spoke: "Senior brother, don't go from one extreme to the other, all things are the law, all the laws are natural, there is no problem in entering the world to realize the Tao, and it is not impossible to realize the Tao naturally." ”

Senior Brother Xie pointed out. Lord Xu Guan saluted the old Taoist.

Everyone chatted for a while, Xu Guanzhu's junior brother got up and went out, and after a while, he came in with a set of exquisite tea sets.

Xu Guanzhu introduced Meng Zitao and A Ming: "This is the tea leaves on a tea tree in the backyard of Guanzhong, which are secretly made after two days, please taste them." ”

Xu Guanzhu's junior brother brewed the tea soup with an elegant brewing method and handed it to Meng Zitao and Ah Ming respectively.

Meng Zitao looked towards the cup, only to see that the color of this tea soup was clear and green, like a pool of green spring water, and Xu Guan greeted him, he gently picked up the cup, smelled its taste, a unique fragrance came to the nose, refreshing people's spleen, take a deep breath, feel the whole abdominal cavity is fresh.

In the end, he slowly divided the tea soup into three mouthfuls and tasted it, only to feel that the tea soup was like a jade liquid, even he felt refreshed, and there was a fresh breath gushing out of his body, as if he had become an immortal.

It took five or six minutes for this mood to fade away.

Ah Ming came back to his senses, looked at the teapot, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to snatch the teapot in his hand.

Xu Guan smiled: "Although this tea is good, it can only be drunk once a month, and only a small cup can be drunk each time, and after this tea is brewed, it must be drunk within a minute, otherwise there will be no more effects." ”

"Lord, you are harming me!" Ah Ming said with a sad face: "How can you let me drink other tea leaves in the future! And this tea can only be drunk once a month, it feels painful to think about it!"

Meng Zitao nodded again and again, even if the tea that Shu Ze gave him, compared to it, it was overshadowed, let alone others.

Xu Guan shook his head and smiled: "At the beginning, my master said that it was because this tea was so good, so there were all kinds of restrictions, otherwise what was the difference between it and poison?"

When the two of them thought about it, it was really the truth, and if they were ordinary people, they would definitely be addicted to it and couldn't extricate themselves.

"I heard what Meng Jushi said just now, and it seems that I have been involved in the identification of antiquities?" the old Taoist chief asked.

"I'm really in the antiques business.

Meng Zitao bowed: "I heard before that there is a work by Huang Gongwang in the view, I wonder if I can appreciate one or two?"

Xu Guan said frankly: "There is indeed a true painting of a peak Taoist in the view, but this work is the treasure of my view and inheritance. ”

Meng Zitao hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, I only ask for a view." ”

"Yes, you two, please come with me. Xu Guan led everyone to the backyard.

As soon as he walked into the backyard, Meng Zitao saw an ancient tea tree with a long age, however, although this tree was lush with branches and leaves, in Meng Zitao's eyes, it seemed that it was about to enter its twilight years, and there were not many years left.

Ah Ming praised it: "This is the tea tree that the master just said, it is really extraordinary, just approaching, there is a fragrant breath rushing to the face." ”

The old Taoist looked at Meng Zitao and said, "Meng Jushi, I don't know what you think of this tree?"

Meng Zitao hesitated: "I don't know if it's my illusion, this tree looks lush, but if you look closely, it seems to have entered its twilight years." ”

Lord Xu Guan sighed and said: "Meng Jushi, you are right, this tea tree was actually struck by lightning at the beginning, and it was only extended by my master's care, and there are no traces of lightning strikes." However, in recent years, outsiders to this tree think that there is no problem, but if we look at it every day, we can still see that its 'essence' is being consumed every day, and it may change greatly in another three or five years. ”

Ah Ming looked at the tea tree and said, "It would be a pity if such a magical tea tree died like this." ”

The three brothers of Xu Guan also looked at the tea tree sadly. When they came to the Taoist temple, this tea tree was already there, and it could even be said that it was almost like a relative. Now I see that it is about to grow old, but there is nothing I can do, and my heart is full of powerlessness.

"Meng Jushi, I don't know if you have heard of a good way to treat this situation?" the old Taoist chief saluted Meng Zitao.

"Dao Chief, you are too polite, to be honest, I don't want this tree to die, but I really can't do anything about the treatment of the tree. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Zitao paused, because under the sudden qi induction, the tea tree seemed to resonate with something on his body.

He thought for a moment and took out a piece of ink dragon jade that he had brought with him: "Three Dao Masters, I don't know if you have seen this thing?"

When the three brothers saw the ink dragon jade that Meng Zitao took out, they were all stunned, and then Xu Guan said in a trembling voice: "This is the ink dragon jade?"

"Yes, this is Molongyu. Meng Zitao nodded.

"It's really Molong Jade, and it's a top-grade Molong Jade! I'm afraid it's not a dream. The three senior brothers looked at Mo Longyu with a dull gaze, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

For the morality of the three of them, Meng Zitao secretly praised them, obviously Mo Longyu was very important to them, but there was no trace of greed in their eyes.

After a while, they came back to their senses one after another, during which Meng Zitao also explained the Molong Jade to Ah Ming, but he didn't have much research on this strange jade, so he couldn't explain it in detail.

Meng Zitao opened his mouth and said, "Master Xu Guan, take the liberty of asking, I don't know how Mo Longyu will help your cultivation?"

Xu Guan explained: "This thing is mainly to cooperate with the secret method of the master to help us refine our hearts, and the purer the ink dragon jade, the better the effect." It's just that this thing is so rare, when my master was alive, he only found two pieces with great difficulty, one was used by him, and the other one was used by the three of us in turn, but it was used up last year. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at the ink dragon jade in Meng Zitao's hand, very entangled.

Meng Zitao could guess Xu Guanzhu's thoughts, but he was very curious, how Mo Longyu was used to refine the heart, but this was the secret method of other people's masters, and he didn't want to ask too much.

"Lord, I'll talk about Mo Longyu later, I want to ask you a question, is the tea produced by this tree after being struck by lightning?"

"That's true. The old Taoist is also a smart person, thinking of the ink dragon jade that Meng Zitao took out, he had a guess: "You mean to say that my master used the ink dragon jade to treat this tree, and over time, the ink dragon jade has been consumed, so the tree has also been affected." ”

Meng Zitao said: "I think it's very likely. ”

Xu Guan looked at each other, and they also felt that the truth was likely to be the case, but in this way, things would be troublesome, because they thought that with their financial resources, there was no way to buy Mo Longyu, and as for exchanging Huang Gongwang's works, they didn't even think about it.

Meng Zitao opened his mouth and said: "Lord, if I want to exchange this piece of ink dragon jade for the secret of this tea tree, I don't know if I can?"

The senior brothers discussed for a while, and Xu Guan said: "Meng Jushi, we don't want to deceive you, we can use the secret method of making tea, but how to improve the tea tree, we didn't know from the master." When we first asked him, he just said, 'Because of self-knowledge'. ”

"Do you know yourself?" Meng Zitao thought for a moment and said, "Did he leave any notes for the old man?"

"Yes, please come with me. ”

Xu Guan took Meng Zitao and Ah Ming to a room, which can be said to be a library room, on each shelf, there are all kinds of classics, some of them know at a glance that they are hand-copied solitary books, Meng Zitao is really worried, there is a mistake, or a thief comes over, and steals all these things.

Lord Xu asked Meng Zitao and Ah Ming to wait for a while, and he and his senior brother went to get the artifacts that Meng Zitao might be interested in.

Meng Zitao looked around, his face suddenly showed a little joy, only to see a Bogu shelf not far away, there were some cups, these cups are antiques of a certain age, several of them are particularly familiar, it is the twelve flower god cups that he wants to make a set.

Meng Zitao took a closer look, and was quite excited, because among these flower god cups, he still didn't have those in his hand, and he could make a set with the ones in his hand.

Another village, it takes no effort to get it!

Meng Zitao's heart was secretly refreshed, he believed that Xu Guan should give him the Flower God Cup and let him form a set of Flower God Cup, which was his biggest gain in antiques recently.
