Chapter 574 Two cups of tea, three brothers

The old monk's breath is long, his body is light and like floating clouds, and his charm and temperament are all the demeanor of a master outside the world.

He called himself the Dharma name Shenyun, the ginseng of enlightenment, and the cloud of white clouds.

Li Muye suddenly remembered that he heard another name in the Jiazhang Temple in Almaty, that person was also a monk called Samse, and Sun Delu said that he raised pythons in Indonesia. Pythons are snakes, pythons are pythons, and pythons are kui. Python Kui is the king of scale insects and is said to be able to evolve into a dragon. The lifelong goal of the Scales Insect Master is to raise a python that turns into a dragon.

Li Muye had this idea, and felt that it might not be an accident to meet this old monk here, so he first simply nodded and admitted that it was an official family, and then asked straight to the point: "The master is old and virtuous, but he has a long breath, a light body, and he is like a feather, Li thinks you should be born as a feather master, right?"

Shenyun smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Mr. Li's eyes are like torches, the old monk never worships Buddha and burns incense in his life, and what he participates in is the way of Yubu Yunzhongke." ”

Li Muye said: "Master is quick to talk, with your ability, if you want to hide your whereabouts just now, you can not come out to meet, since you have come out, I think there is a teaching, right?"

Shenyun saluted and said, "Please invite Master Li Shizhu to sit in the meditation hall, let the old monk prepare tea a little, and speak slowly." With that, he led the two of them out of the main hall and into the meditation hall.

Li Muye followed him into the meditation hall and explained that Bai Qi was waiting outside the door. Since this old monk was born in the Yubu Earth Master Sect, most of them had something to do with the Fire Crow Heavenly Book incident on Qingshan Rock. The clues are rare, and Brother Ono is afraid that he will escape, so he leaves blank to guard outside the door. After Xiao Baiqi experienced that heart-wrenching demon tribulation, his whole person's temperament was much more mellow than before, and his body and mind experienced an indispensable transformation journey for those who seek the Tao with martial arts.

Shenyun turned around and said: "Mr. Li is old in the rivers and lakes, although this young man of the Bai family is not very old, he has already entered the hall with his ability, and the two of them are connected inside and outside, and the old monk is difficult to fly even if he has wings." ”

The master was polite. Li Muye said: "You are a master in the world, we are both ordinary people, and the younger generation just wants to ask the master for some explanations." ”

The two walked into the meditation hall while talking, only to see that the interior was simply furnished, with only a meditation couch and two bookcases.

Shenyun sat on the meditation couch, motioned for Li Muye to sit opposite, and then said, "Even if Mr. Li doesn't ask, the old monk has something to tell you." He placed a bookcase between the two, put two teacups and a pot of tea, poured half a cup for Brother Xiaoye, put his hands in front of him, and said, "Mr. Li, do you dare to taste this cup of soul rejuvenation soup of the old monk?"

Li Muye took it without hesitation and put it to his lips, but the smell of the strange fragrance entered his nose, which was refreshing, and he took a sip, only to feel that the taste was warm and moist, clear his heart and lungs, and he felt very comfortable, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!" and asked rhetorically: "Why is this tea called soul rejuvenation soup?"

Sanyun said: "It's just a far-fetched statement by the old monk about his own tea art, imitating the ancients." ”

Li Muye said: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Sanyun then said: these three words have a historical origin, there was a tea saint in the Tang Dynasty called Lu Yu, who was an abandoned baby during the Anshi Rebellion, adopted by the high monk Ji Gong, carefully cultivated, and gave him a name for the hexagram, and the hexagram said: "Hong gradually in Lu, its feather can be used as a ceremony." It means that the wild geese fly in the sky, their wings are fluttering, the geese are neatly arrayed, and all directions are thoroughfares. So the surname was "Lu", the name "Yu" was taken, and the word "Hong" was taken.

That Ji Gong cooked a good hand of tea, so that Lu Yu learned the art of tea since he was a child. At the age of twelve, Lu Yu finally left Longgai Temple. After that, Lu Yu worked as a harlequin actor in the local opera troupe, and also worked as a screenwriter and composer; he was appreciated by Li Qiwu, a famous minister who guarded the Jingling Tomb, and went to Huomen Mountain to study under the old master Zou for seven years, and did not complete his studies until he was 19 years old. So far, I have traveled all over the world, looking for secluded spots, tasting the world's spiritual spring water eyes and all kinds of tea crops.

Li Muye said: "I have also heard of the reputation of the tea saint Lu Yu, and one of his poems is included in the poems of the Tang Dynasty: I don't envy the golden cup, I don't envy the white jade cup, I don't envy the province of the dynasty, I don't envy the stage at dusk, I envy the Xijiang River, and I once came down to Jingling City." ”

Sanyun said: "Mr. Li is erudite, my three words of soul soup are also from Lu Yu's mouth, he summed up the triple realm of picking tea and making tea and tasting tea, the first is frightening, the second is the soul fragrance, and the third is the soul soup, which is the image, meaning and taste of the tea soup. ”

Li Muye raised his glass and drank it all, and said: "It's a pity that Li is vulgar and doesn't know the elegance, but the essence of the master's tea ceremony is a pearl." ”

"Mr. Li is so bold!" Shenyun watched Li Muye drink all the tea in the cup, and said with a smile: "This is lark tea, harvested from the deep South American rainforest in the country of clouds, that place is difficult to reach, is the country of birds, this kind of tea grows in the crown of giant trees above 100 meters, must be picked down in the season of pulling leaves and spitting, ordinary people can not pick it, only larks can do it, hence the name, although it has the effect of awakening the brain and calming the soul, but there are also paralyzing nerves, poisoning and addiction. ”

This old monk spoke elegantly, completely in the style of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, which made Li Muye can't help but think of Guo Lilai who sent the white dog red ape to send a letter to himself. As soon as this thought moved, he was immediately more interested in him.

Li Muye smiled and said according to the old monk's heart: "Water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat, and if it is used properly, its poison may not be able to become my medicine." ”

Shenyun nodded and said: "Mr. Li's cultivation has reached the realm of internal and external obstacles, and the heart is round and clear, and some hidden dangers have become a benefit to you, such a realm is really admired by the old monk." After speaking, he carefully picked up his cup, tasted it with the tip of his tongue and put down the cup, and said: "Although the old monk is 100 years older than Mr. Li, his inner cultivation is greatly inferior, so although this soup is wonderful, he only dares to drink it slowly." He poured another cup for Li Muye.

One hundred and ten years older than Lao Tzu? Isn't he already over one hundred and thirty years old? Li Muye was secretly surprised, and blurted out, "The master is old this year?"

"Please Mr. Li drink this cup full!" Monk Shenyun said: "If you have ambition, you will live a hundred years without ambition, and the old monk will spend one hundred and thirty-five years in vain." ”

Li Muzhi said in his heart that he was really an old monster from the next generation, took the tea in his hand, drank it all happily, and asked straight into the words: "You are the Feather Insect Master, have you ever heard of a strange and strange incident around here?"

Samyun watched Brother Xiao Ye drink all the tea and soup in the cup, and said: "Mr. Li is talking about the incident of the Fire Crow Passing on the Book of Heaven, I can't hide it, it is the handiwork of an unproductive disciple of the old monk." He also said: "That pickled thing is called Qi Rulong, and it is really unfortunate for the master to learn the right art but not follow the right path." ”

Li Muye said: "Listen to your tone, are you here to clean up the portal?"

Samyun shook his head and said, "The old monk was invited by a friend to help. He also said: "The old monk has agreed to talk about the lake in this Panjiang River, and he knows that he is too old to match the other party, so he invited the old monk to come to help." ”

Li Muye's heart moved, and he asked, "This friend of the master is surnamed Guo?"

Sanyun said: "This friend of the old monk is a figure of the beggar gang for two generations, and there are not many people who still know him today, but Mr. Li is very knowledgeable, and he actually broke his surname in one word." ”

Li Muye said, "Master, you came here to find me?"

Shenyun said: "Taigong fishing, the wisher takes the bait, but this Taigong Temple is the old monk who arrived first." ”

Li Muye said: "If you want to catch a big fish, in addition to having a good bait, you must also have a good fishing rod. ”

"Two cups of fragrant tea are enough. Shenyun's eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "Chen Dongpo of the South China Sea, Guo Chunxiao of Xinye, and Duan Fengwu of Southern Yunnan, although they have different backgrounds, they became brothers in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and they did many great things hand in hand. ”

Li Muye was puzzled: "What do you mean by this?"

Shenyun said: "It means that although the old man is in ambush, he is determined to be thousands of miles, although the tiger is old, but the majesty still exists, although Brother Chen has been dead for 30 years, but his descendants are not allowed to be bullied, you are not very old, but you are a person with wolf ambitions, and the descendants who entangle Brother Chen must have ulterior motives......"

"Wait a minute, Master, the junior you are talking about Brother Chen shouldn't be referring to Chen Miao from the Foreign Affairs Bureau, right?"

Sanyun said: "You really know it. Suddenly, he asked, "Say, why are you pestering her?"

Li Muambi's mind was spinning, and he thought about the whole thing again from beginning to end, and suddenly realized that he had made a very low-level common-sense mistake. Since the day he entered Beijing to visit his mother, he has never put himself in the shoes of his mother Chen Miao to think about problems. I take it for granted that the mother and son are by nature, and they are going home to do their filial piety, and there is nothing special to explain. But he never thought that in the past, Brother Xiaoye had always been a gloomy and tiger-wolf hero in Chen Miao's eyes.

Just imagine, she suddenly ran to the capital with a cold pot steaming, not only did she stay at her mother's house and didn't leave, but she also seemed to collude with Brother Ah Hui to force her to take a back seat in advance. Thinking about this matter from Chen Miao's point of view, how could she not have some suspicions? She must have wanted to find out what was hidden behind all this. However, there was no way to get the truth from Brother A Hui through official channels, because Chen Binghui was inconvenient to tell the truth due to his duty of confidentiality. She had no choice but to use some tricks to investigate.

My mother, Chen Miao, has not only been the leader of the Foreign Affairs Bureau for eight years, but also has the identity of the head of the Nanhaimen Presbyterian Church in the rivers and lakes.

Why did she use that way to test herself? Li Muye thought about the cause and effect of the whole thing in his heart, and then thought, yes, although my mother was defensive of herself, she also accepted this son a little, so she deliberately used that way to test my reaction. If you approach her with bad intentions, you will naturally show your fox tail.

If this is the case, then Second Sister Chen must be secretly observing Brother Xiao Ye now, and the question now is, what does my mother think of herself now?
