Chapter Seventy-Six: The Tea Party (I)

Sarando. Vera is a young golden elf, who just turned nine hundred and eighty last month, and she is just entering the best age in terms of the golden elf's long lifespan. She wasn't too prominent a genius among the Golden Elves - or, rather, in the original Golden Elf princess Tariel. After Elandi's disappearance, the only genius among the golden elves was his brother, the golden elf prince Erwin. Elandi can be called a genius.

The Golden Elf Clan was originally known as the Goddess's Favored Clan, a natural nobleman, so they have too many restrictions, the number of people has always been a problem, and their own strength promotion is also a problem. It may be that the overall line of the Golden Elf Clan is too high, so it is not easy to come up with a genius in the clan.

Sarando. Vera is a young golden elf, but also an ordinary golden elf, the elves do not have middle-aged and elderly forms, from the age of two hundred to adulthood, unless there is an accident, otherwise they will be fixed to the youth form. The most common way to judge the age of a golden elf is strength. Because even if the golden elf doesn't cultivate at all, as long as it is past a thousand years old, it will automatically be promoted to the platinum level, and after two thousand years old, it will be promoted to the crystal level.

This ability to make other races envious, jealous and hateful has also become a general yardstick for judging the age of the Golden Elf race.

The elves love beautiful things, and the pursuit of art has reached the point where other races can't understand it at all, Sarandor was attracted by Tang Dou's bamboo basket at the beginning, but she went out reserved and proud, she didn't show it too obvious (for herself, in fact, it was quite obvious), and then she bought the bamboo blue seed, and studied the production process, which seemed simple, but its workmanship was quite excellent, and more importantly, its materials made her very puzzled.

Bamboo is not the mainstream in the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm, only a very few places grow in patches, some small clumps of bamboo that grow will not attract people's attention at all, and more importantly, there is no bamboo in the Tianfeng Continent at all.

Bamboo is a completely unfamiliar material to Sarando, but as an elf, Sarandor still relies on intuition and observation to quickly discover the advantages of this bamboo. Clever enough to think out of the box, this new material should make more beautiful things.

At this time, Ming Nan, who had gone and returned, brought the jade crown bottle. Sarandor, who thought he had learned about the material bamboo, was shocked again, it turned out that this magical material could still make such a thing?

A bottle?

A bottle made entirely of bamboo, not only beautiful, exquisite, but also practical, Salando filled the bottle with water, and after leaving it overnight, it found that not only did it not leak, but also had a special fragrance.

What an amazing material.

Sarando, who had been completely aroused in interest and curiosity, agreed without any hesitation after receiving the invitation to the tea party. In fact, she invited her boss, the orthodox leader of the Elves in the Fog Hidden Strike Force, Fernafin. Oran's, but the other party refused, not that the other party was not curious, but that such a tea party to go to a deputy commander is enough, and then to an orthodox leader, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

The day had finally arrived, and when Sarandor met with the strangers in the Elven tradition, she wore the traditional Elven armor—an eight-layer pleated shoulder armor made of hard cooked leather, which wrapped around her shoulders and was secured with a belt across her chest. These pleats are held together with hinges, but still enough to keep her moving; The fourth, sixth, and eighth pleats are carved with images of elven goddesses.

In his armor, Sarandor wore a lightly blue silk shirt with fine embroidery, soft gray-green wool leggings, suede high boots shaped like overlapping leaves with plant motifs, and a double-layered suede blouse with khaki green, a slightly thicker brown outer layer, and the inner and outer layers were cut into the shape of petals, so that it resembled a flower bud. The robe was waist-high, with elbow-length sleeves and slits at the hem so it didn't interfere with her movements, and on the outermost side, she wore a traditional elven cloak, the same as Tang Dou's.

This kind of dress is the tradition of the Golden Elves, allowing them to have a heroic temperament without losing their elegance.

Sarandor didn't bring any guards and retinues, because she didn't need to, and with her identity and strength, no one in Kinunu City dared to do anything to her.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Sarandor arrived at the quicksand gate on time, she had been here before, but only passing by, or hanging out, and her first impression was that the quicksand gate was just a more rude gang in the rude human-controlled zone, and there were all kinds of dirty messes everywhere.

Truth be told, Sarandor wouldn't have come to such a disgusting place if it weren't for the magical and beautiful bamboo products.

But when Salando, who came with the lofty ideal of "sacrificing himself as if he had entered the pigsty to save the artwork", came to the door of the quicksand gate again, he was surprised to find that the former quicksand gate had completely changed.

The previous mess has been completely cleaned up, and the two rows of quicksand men standing in front of the door have changed into new clothes one by one, all of them are radiant and beaming.

Ming Nan stood at the door to greet the guests, and he was specially waiting for Sarando, and the others were received by themselves, and Ming Nan was specially serving Sarandor today.

"I've met Lord Sarando, your arrival has made this door shine!" When he saw Sarando, he immediately stepped forward and saluted.

Sarandor was a little stunned, if she hadn't stood in front of her, she would probably have thought that she had come to the wrong place.

"Come in, please. The master of the door is already waiting for Lord Sarando! Of course, Ming Nan knew what was going on with Sarandor being stunned, and he was not without pride in his heart, but he didn't show it, pretending to be calm and indifferent, and turned sideways.

Sarandor looked like he was silent, and walked inside with Ming Nan silently. Along the way, she looked left and right, but saw that every detail had changed, not as exaggerated as the elven region, but with a kind of neatness and efficiency that was unique to humans.

Such an environment does not make Sarandor feel happy, but it is definitely not hateful, but has a sense of identity. If the quicksand gate really dressed up its headquarters like the headquarters of the elves, then Sarandor would be a little happy, but he couldn't talk about it.

What's more, if this is the case, then the quicksand gate is equivalent to slapping the elves' ass to the point of shamelessness. Forget about the major gangs of the human race, the people on the demon clan side are estimated to have to slap the table and leave.

The contradiction between the demon race and the elf race is much greater than that of the relative humans. Although the overall development direction of the elves is peace, it does not change the prejudice against the demon race in the elf tradition.

And the demon clan is also unpleasant to look at the elf clan, in the eyes of the demon clan, this group of long ears is the enemy, but now they can't kill each other, so they just endure it.

Humans have done the best in this regard, because humans themselves are the race with the most self-contradictions, and there are great internal differences, some of them are friendly with the elf race, some are friendly with the demon race, some are hostile to other races, and some are with the mud.

But because of this, there is not much conflict between humans and elves and demons, and many times some necessary transactions and dialogues between elves and demons are also transferred through humans.

Therefore, the neat and tidy image of Liushamen is just right for being the host of this tea party, no one is pleased, but no one is offended.

"Hmph, are the elves here too?" Just as Sarandor walked into the formal venue, before he could see the surrounding layout, he heard a cold snort.

She turned her head to look, only to see a tall minotaur and an even thinner golden ape clan sitting in the south corner, staring at him with a malicious and disdainful gaze - the demon clan that had only been notified of the arrival of a minotaur was finally represented by an extra member of the golden ape clan, and what this meant was obviously quite obvious.

However, the people of the Golden Ape Clan also gave Ren Tianzhen enough face, and did not find Tang Dou as soon as he appeared on the stage, but completely looked like he was just here to join in the fun, and greeted the other people who came to the meeting with the minotaur. Such a harmonious scene until Sarando arrived.

In fact, Ren Tianzhen also hesitated, would it cause trouble if he invited the elves and the demons at such a tea party, but he knew better that if he invited the elves and not the demons, the trouble would be even greater, so he could only see the walking, and theoretically the two sides would not fight. In this Fog Hidden Continent, the elf clan is the only race that has completely unified control, and this group of long-eared people is desperately united with the outside world, if they really want to fight, the demon clan will definitely suffer, so as long as the demon clan has an IQ higher than the table, they will not really do anything.

In the face of the provocation of the two demon clans, Sarandor showed the usual attitude of an arrogant golden elf, just smiled slightly, completely ignored the other party, and leisurely began to look around.

Seeing that Sarado ignored him, the golden ape man raised his eyebrows on the spot, and was about to be angry, but he was slapped on the shoulder by the minotaur, and then shook his head, as if remembering something, the golden ape man fell silent and no longer looked at Sarandor.

"Lord Sarando, please take a seat!" Minnan brought Sarandor to her place.

This is the west corner of the hall, arranging the seats according to the location of the continent is a tradition in the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm, no one will have an opinion on this, after Sarandor took a seat, his eyes first fell on the tables and chairs in front of him - all of them were made of bamboo.

This is a bamboo that Sarando has never seen before, a kind of bamboo with purple in ink, with a unique natural atmosphere, the color is luxurious and rich, the shape is simple, but there is a great ingenuity. On each table, there is an earthy-yellow, antique openwork carved incense burner. At first glance, Sarandor knew that it was carved from the roots of bamboo, and the inside of the carving was mostly made of natural objects such as mountains and rivers.

There is incense in the incense burner, a type that Sarado has not been exposed to, and the aroma is light and noble, full of an ethereal feeling.

In addition, there is a full set of bamboo tableware on the table, which looks quite ordinary, but if you look closely, you will find that it has its own subtlety.

At this time, the people of the Red Axe Gang and the Fengxian Gate finally arrived, everyone arrived, Ming Nan stepped forward and shook a bamboo wind chime, and then Tang Dou came from the back hall quickly wearing a robe and a tea set.

When he arrived at the main seat, he didn't speak, but his eyes swept over everyone, nodded to everyone with a smile, and then began to cook tea.

There is tea in the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm, and there is also tea art, and the tea art is invented by the elves, but it is completely different from the tea art of Tang Dou's previous life, the core of the elf tea art lies in the change of tea, in short, the change of tea taste pursued by the elves, and the exquisiteness of the tea set.

However, the tea art of Tang Dou's previous life contained a wide range and a deep development, and it was not at all the elves of the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm who simply pursued tea taste changes, and the tea sets were exquisite and comparable. To put it bluntly, in a high-martial world like the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm, it is easy for people to solve problems through strength, even if it is an elf who pursues beauty, it is easy to fall into it, but it has lost a lot of fun that only ordinary power can do.

In Tang Dou's previous life, the tea art paid attention to a series of contents such as tea selection, water selection, tea cooking technology, tea set art, and environmental selection and creation. Different teas have different tea art performances. Different environments also have different tea performances. Even if it is the same tea, the same environment, the same utensils, and different people, there are different performances.

Tea art is a culture. Tang Dou had studied tea art for a period of time in his previous life, although its original purpose was to fool a few old tea customers into buying his pirated antique tea sets, but the learning itself was not discounted, although in the eyes of real tea art experts, Tang Dou's tea art was at most a beginner, but it was enough to fool people in another world.

Just when Tang Dou lit the fire in front of his desk, there was an elegant sound of the piano in the back hall at the same time, the guqin was leisurely, and the incense burner was curling, but at the beginning, the entire reception room was brought into an otherworldly realm.

Even the two elders of the demon clan widened their eyes and held their breath, for fear of disturbing Tang Dou's movements like flowing water.

Tang Dou is doing green tea art today, starting from the most basic "lighting incense and burning incense to remove delusions", he has entered a realm of forgetfulness, although it seems to be the second in the middle, it seems to be out of tune, but Tang Dou has never forgotten his most fundamental purpose - to enhance his strength.

As for the focus of cultivation, after Tang Dou was promoted to the platinum level, what he needed most was the precipitation of his heart, and under the guidance of the first mirror master, he began to act spontaneously in order to achieve the realm of returning to the basics. However, he had not been able to do this before, but at the beginning of the tea ceremony, he grasped the sudden inspiration.

"Light incense and burn incense to remove delusions, wash a cup of ice heart to go to the dust, cold soup jade pot to raise Taihe, throw tea to welcome the beauty of the Qing Palace, moisten the tea nectar and run the lotus heart, flush the phoenix three nods, make tea jasper Shen Qingjiang, serve tea Guanyin to hold a jade bottle, enjoy the tea spring wave and show the flag gun, smell the tea wisdom and understand the fragrance of tea, taste the tea lightly and taste the taste, thank you for the tea and pour endless fun!"

After a jaw-dropping performance, her own maid stepped forward and served tea and soup to the guests. And Tang Dou only raised his head at this time, his eyes turned to everyone again, and he smiled: "Everyone, please!" (To be continued.) )
