Chapter 87: The Spiritual Tea of the Monk's Enlightenment

"Xiaoshan Situ family?" Lin Luo immediately thought of Situ Lanlan on the Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway, and couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a tangled stomach: No, the road is narrow, and we are going to meet again so soon?

"What is it?" Lin Luo blurted out.

If he could get it from somewhere else, he wouldn't have gone to Situ's house alive or dead.

When Situ Lanlan asked him to borrow money last night, he refused at that time. Also, at that time, I thought that I would never meet again anyway, but I stared at her career line and glanced at it a lot.

What does it mean not to report that the time has not arrived?

"In front of the Hugong Temple at the foot of Shifeng Mountain, the tea leaves of the eighteen tea trees given by the Qianlong Emperor. Nalan Shangwu said slowly.

"Shifeng Longjing?" Lin Luo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although Shifeng Longjing is precious, it is not impossible to buy it. ”

Nalan Shangwu shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as Shifeng Longjing. What I want you to ask for is the first bud of the Royal Dragon Well. When Emperor Qianlong went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he came to the front of the Hugong Temple at the foot of Shifeng Mountain, learned to pick tea for the tea girl, and just picked a handful, and suddenly the palace came to report that the Queen Mother was sick. Qianlong hurried back to the capital, carrying the tea leaves that had already been dried. After the queen mother smelled the fragrance of tea, she couldn't help but brew a pot, but the tea was cured. Later, Qianlong sealed these eighteen tea trees as imperial tea!"

"So amazing?" Lin Luo was slightly stunned, but he had never heard the allusion of the Imperial Dragon Well, and couldn't help but wonder: "Is there a difference between this first bud of the Imperial Dragon Well and an ordinary Dragon Well?"

"It's a big difference. Nalan Shangwu picked up Lin Luo, sat on the abbot's chair and said, "These eighteen imperial tea trees are very different from other tea trees in Shifeng Mountain. These eighteen imperial teas were brought by a monk from the Western Regions, and they are ancient spiritual teas. The original variety is extraordinary, and it has the wonderful effect of clearing the heart and awakening the mind. Later, after being given by the royal family, it became famous all over the world. ”

"Lingcha, is it so mysterious?" Lin Luo looked shocked and said, "Abbot Huineng, aren't you telling me a legendary story?"

"Do you think you're telling a legendary story?" Nalan Shangwu said in an indifferent tone: "It's a shame that you're still a martial artist. Liang Rongqiao should have told you about ancient martial arts, right? Is this dantian strength also a legend? Lingcha does exist, but it is rare in the world. If it weren't for Qianlong's imperial gift, these eighteen spirit tea trees might have been destroyed by future generations. ”

When Nalan Shangwu said this, Lin Luo suddenly felt that he was a little child's play.

Truly.

Since there is a vast ancient martial world, why can't there be a spiritual tea tree like a panacea?

He hurriedly said with a straight expression: "Abbot Huineng, what's the matter with the first bud you just said?"

"The first bud is the first bud of the tea tree in the new spring. There are strict requirements for the picking of Longjing tea, according to various grades, there are one bud, one bud and one leaf, one bud and two leaves, and so on. Among them, picking a bud is the most, its color is tender yellow, the fragrance is high and lasting, and it is the best in tea. Moreover, the first bud of the Situ family is also very particular, and a tree only picks one hundred and eight shoots towards the sun. One more or less will not work. ”

"One hundred and eight, what is this exquisite?" Lin Luo said in shock.

"Tea, this word is separated, and it is exactly one hundred and eight. The "twenty" above the word "tea" means twenty, and the "people" and "wood" below can be separated from eighty-eight, and the sum is one hundred and eight. And one hundred and eight is the number of perfection of the Dharma Buddha. The so-called 'Zen tea taste' refers to the intrinsic relationship between Dharma Buddha and tea. This is also the reason why there were monks who drank tea in ancient times to realize the Tao. Abbot Huineng told me.

"One hundred and eight, Dharma Buddha, high monk, spiritual tea!" Lin Luo muttered to himself, combining these four words together, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "I see." Eighteen tea trees, separated, are also ninety-nine numbers, implicitly the way of the Buddha. Back then, the monk brought these spiritual teas for enlightenment. ”

"The children can be taught. Nalan Shangwu said with kindness in his eyes: "Lingyin Temple was built by this monk, and it has been 1,800 years ago. ”

Lin Luo's expression was moved, it turned out that this was the case.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Luo said in awe: "Tea ceremony, Zen way, it turns out that there is such a mysterious inner connection. It is no wonder that the monks in the temple often enlighten sentient beings with tea ceremonies. According to what Abbot Huineng said, this spiritual tea is really not simple. It's just that a tree only picks one hundred and eight leaves, and the tea leaves picked by eighteen tea trees are only one thousand nine hundred and forty-four leaves. After frying, how much can you have?"

"This kind of top-notch sprouts, 50,000 pieces can be fried for one catty. Shoots less than 2,000 can be fried for up to four dollars. It costs about one dollar to brew a cup of Longjing, which means that the eighteen imperial teas of the Situ family can only make four cups of Longjing in a year. You say, can you buy such a spiritual tea on the market?" Abbot Huineng looked at Lin Luo, who was stunned, and said with a smile.

"This ......" Lin Luo opened his mouth wide, and only after half a sound did he say in astonishment: "Then how much is this tea a catty...... No, no, how much is a tael? No, it's not right, it should be a penny. ”

Lin Luo changed three weight units in a row before he felt that the weight unit of "money" was more appropriate.

After all, according to this output, it will only take twenty-five years to produce one catty, and two and a half years to produce one or two.

This output, who will talk about catties and two sales?

In fact, Lin Luo also knew in his heart that he would not sell it even if it was money. Four dollars a year, the Situ family, known as the "middle Situ" in Qiantang, will be short of this money?

Sure enough, Nalan Shangwu smiled and said, "This is not something that money can buy. Didn't I just say that I was going to Situ's house to ask for this thing. The edge is deep and shallow, all in this word 'seeking'. ”

"Please?" Lin Luo realized the importance of the matter.

If it can be solved with money, it is naturally not a problem. But the problem now is not a question of money at all.

"Yes, please. Abbot Huineng clasped his hands together, took a string of Buddhist beads from his hands and said: "Lin Gongzi, the poor monk has made good connections over the years, but he has some Buddha ties with this Situ family. If you go with my string of Buddhist beads, the head of the Situ family should give you a penny for the sake of the monk. However, your acupuncture points are seriously damaged, and one dollar is not enough at all, so you need to ask for two more dollars. ”

"Ask for two more coins?" Lin Luo took Abbot Huineng's Buddha beads and said with a wry smile: "Abbot Huineng, you can only ask for one penny for this string of precious Buddha beads, how can I ask for two coins?"

"You can't say that. Everything is a fateful word. Nalan Shangwu said kindly: "If it were someone else, I would naturally not come up with such an idea." But Lin Gongzi is different from others, he can repel evil monks like Lotus Monk, and naturally has the ability to ask for two coins of spiritual tea. ”

"That's right. Lin Luo's face froze: "What is the origin of this lotus monk, who keeps saying that I am a demon of the Wang family? If I am not mistaken, the abbot of Huineng also asked me if my surname is Wang?

A complicated look flashed in Nalan Shangwu's eyes, showed a kind smile, and said lightly: "It's nothing, the poor monk once had a relationship with a person surnamed Wang. And this person surnamed Wang just happened to have a grudge with the Lotus monk. ”

"Oh. Lin Luo suddenly realized: "No wonder this is the case. Fortunately, I don't have the surname Wang, if my real surname is Wang, I won't be able to wash it when I jump into the Yellow River. ”

"It's good not to have the surname Wang. Nalan Shangwu sighed and said, "Young Master Lin, be more prepared to guard against this lotus monk in the future." This man is ruthless and loves to hold grudges, and if you hurt him tonight, he will definitely come back one day. ”

"Good. Lin Luo nodded.

Although he still had some doubts about this "surname Wang" in his heart, he did not ask any further. With his wisdom and insight, he naturally sensed that Abbot Huineng had reservations about this matter.

However, this lotus monk is indeed a trouble.

Lin Luo had already tried out his depth when he was fighting just now. This person has deep internal strength, and has already stepped into the realm of internal strength for many years, and is a master of internal strength that should not be underestimated.

As for which level it has reached, whether it is the early, middle or late stage, with Lin Luo's current cultivation, it is impossible to know exactly.

He was able to repel this person with one palm last night, in addition to the "immortal silkworm" mastery in the mouth of the lotus monk, in fact, it was more of a surprise, and the moment he just broke through the realm, the power of the mysterious aura in his body fed back.

If you really rely on strength, Lin Luo is definitely not this person's opponent.

"It's better to recover your internal strength as soon as possible. Lin Luo thought so and made a decision.

Tomorrow's Situ family must go.

"Okay!" Nalan Shangwu consumed a lot of internal strength tonight, and he was also a little tired, looking at Lin Luo, who was no longer sick, and said in a deep voice: "The waiting room of the Zen room next door, you can take a rest with your female companion tonight." ”

Lin Luo looked startled, and blurted out: "Abbot Huineng, she is not my girlfriend, she can't sleep together!"

"Ah, where do you want to go. Nalan Shangwu smiled dumbly and said: "The monk's temple has broken the vows for the female benefactor to stay overnight, how can the two of them be allowed to share the same bed?" I mean that the reception room next door has several guest rooms for pilgrims, and you can live separately. ”

"Oh!" Lin Luo said with an embarrassed expression, "I thought the temples were so open now." ”

"Okay, it's not too early, let's rest early. Nalan Shangwu waved his hand.

"Abbot Huineng exhausted his internal strength tonight in order to save his juniors, and Lin Luo bowed to you again. Lin Luo stood up and bowed to Monk Nalan three times in a row.

"No!" Nalan Shangwu looked shocked, and hurriedly picked up Lin Luo and said, "Young Master Lin, don't do this." It is the duty of a monk to be compassionate and save the dead and help the wounded. ”

Lin Luo couldn't help but say, and after bowing, he straightened up and walked towards the meditation room next door.

In the Zen room room, the exhausted Lu Junyao had already fallen asleep. But for the sake of Lin Luo's safety, she stubbornly held her eyelids and waited until Lin Luo came over.

"Okay!" Lu Junyao looked at Lin Luo, who was ruddy, and quickly stood up and said, "What happened outside just now?

"It's nothing, someone broke into the temple and was blasted out. Lin Luo smiled.

"Oh, good thing we didn't get blasted out. How is your injury, has Master Huineng helped you heal?" Lu Junyao hurriedly stepped forward and said with concern.

"The injury is healed, but for the next period of time, you can't use your efforts. I have to go to Situ's house in Xiaoshan tomorrow and ask for something so that my injuries can recover as soon as possible. Lin Luo looked at Lu Junyao, who looked stunned, and wondered: "What's the matter, can we go? Situ Lanlan wouldn't be so careful, right?"
