Chapter 119: The Unity of Heaven and Man
The purple-clothed elder looked at the eleven women in the audience, stroked his silver beard, and nodded: "Respect the ancient rites, when the guest of honor is drinking at the banquet, they should have bowed to each other and entered the table in order, and the juniors should serve the elders. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoHowever, since this is only a wine test, not a real feast, this part of the etiquette is exempted and only the etiquette in the banquet is examined. ”
As he spoke, he walked to the bamboo mat placed in the center, leaned over and picked up the pot-bellied pottery pot with pastel patterns in the center of the bamboo mat, and lifted the lid on it, and a rich aroma of wine immediately spread throughout the venue.
The purple-clothed elder patted the pottery, leaned in, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes with an intoxicated expression: "Well, after ten years of wine aging, sure enough, as soon as the lid of the wine is opened, the banquet is full of fragrance." As he spoke, he stood up with the clay pot.
The women in the banquet sat neatly and neatly in two rows, and the purple-clothed elder walked to the front with a pottery cup, and poured wine into the bronze tiger statues of the ten women one by one, and when they were all poured, he retreated to the field, put the pottery bowl down, and then stood back to his seat, raised his hand and held the wine glass, and looked at the people in the field.
All the women in the field stood up, and Tianxing hurriedly stood up with a wine glass, followed these women, bowed to the purple-clothed elder to show gratitude and respect to the master, and then poured out a little wine in the tiger to the ground, in order to worship the virtue of the earth, and then raised the tiger to his mouth, tasted a little, and the aroma of the wine was scattered, and the ten women praised it one after another.
There are those who praise "forgetting worries after drinking", those who praise "long aftertaste", and those who praise "sweet and refreshing...... In short, it is a beautiful word.
But aside, this wine is indeed very delicious, and Tianxing tasted it and sincerely thought that this wine was good.
Because the field is full of young women, they are in their youth, their temperament is lively, and they are from a big family, they understand etiquette, and they are generous with their gestures, and they smile and smile, adding more to their style.
Feeling the cheerful atmosphere of the banquet, Tianxing suddenly felt that the wine ceremony in this banquet was not as boring as he imagined.
She smiled and finished a whole set of wine ceremonies, but she didn't have the slightest sense of resistance, but felt that such a regular banquet was much better than those drunks who were informal, noisy, dancing, drunk and stinking everywhere.
But when I think about it carefully, I always feel that there is something missing in this feast, but no matter what I can't think of, what is missing......
After finishing this set of wine ceremonies, she raised her head and drank the wine in her honor.
In this ritual test, there were three women who were slow to move, and their movements were half a beat slower than the others, and it could be seen that they did not understand the drinking etiquette and followed the other women to behave, so as soon as they finished drinking, the wine ceremony officer came up and led them out, so that there were only eight women left in the field.
The purple-clothed elder stroked his beard and sat down, he looked around the field, looked at the rest of the women, nodded, and continued to preside over the competition.
Next is the reward session, that is, the toasting session, which must be saluted by the purple-clothed elders first, and they can only be saluted by the guests.
The ancient rite is called a reward, and this ritual is also divided into orders, and it must be done in order, so the purple-clothed elders must toast one by one in order.
He began to toast the women in the audience one by one, and before it was Tianxing's turn, she sat for a while, and then began to pick up a few melons and fruits to eat.
Looking down, the bronze tiger venerable had already poured a full bottle of wine.
Stunned for a moment, she sighed helplessly.
Presumably, this wine is fake, and it is transformed by the illusion master outside the arena according to the previous situation, otherwise how could it appear in the Venerable for no reason?
Tsk, think about it, this divine grace clan is really saving, the first glass of wine is real, and the rest of the etiquette competition is all made of conjured wine, although it tastes the same as the real one, but after all, it is not real, and it is somewhat unpleasant to drink.
Do you want them to pretend that they are not drunk and everyone is drunk? But it's strange.
Eating several melons and fruits with his head, the purple-clothed elder finally came over, Tianxing stood up with the wine honor, raised his eyes to look at him, and said a few polite words to each other, touched it, and drank it all, but it was very happy.
When the host finished toasting, the guests in the banquet began to toast each other, and then they toasted people in order, and after a few rounds, Tianxing's face was already red.
Although she knew that the wine was fake, and everything in this scene was also conjured, she was still bewildered by the superb illusion of this spellcaster, and she was in the realm, not knowing whether it was true or not.
This kind of paralysis of oneself drunkenness, making oneself think that the feeling of being drunk and not knowing that he is a guest is very wonderful, so wonderful that Tianxing knows that he is not drunk and drunk, but he is still willing to immerse himself in it.
She suddenly felt the urge to indulge and sing loudly.
She remembered the ancient book of her own family that she read yesterday - "Su Wen", which has such a sentence: "In the Middle Ages, there were supreme people, pure virtue and all the way, and in yin and yang, adjusted at the four o'clock, died and departed from the world, accumulated essence and full energy, paraded between heaven and earth, audio-visual and eight-reaching, this cover is beneficial to its life and the strong are also." ”
It tells the story of yin and yang at the four o'clock, free and easy, and at ease in the world.
The human race is divided into saints, sages, gods, supreme people, heavenly people, saints and sages, needless to say, they are the backbone of the human spirit, they educate the world to be rational and virtuous, open sects, carry forward the spirit of the human race, and the sages are used to assist the saints, generally for the saints and disciples, such as the eighty-one sages under the saint Tianjizi of the Qingling Kingdom, this is the case. And the gods and men can be compared to the immortals among people, they do not eat grains, drink wind and dew, swim in the four seas, and they are extremely powerful. And the human being is the one who is detached from the world, who is at ease, and who has reached the state of selflessness.
Cultivators pay attention to the unity of things and self, live and die together, swim freely in the four seas, are not bound by the world, and pursue absolute freedom beyond life and death.
This is the case with the supreme human being, who pursues absolute freedom both physically and mentally.
Celestial Star finally found what was missing in the banquet.
There is nothing wrong with this wine ceremony, and there is nothing wrong with the arrangement, but there is a problem with the people at this banquet.
They are all bound by secular etiquette, not free and easy at all, at least, they do not have a kind of free and easy, thoughtless, sudden, not happy with things, not sad for themselves.
People, born in the red dust, trapped in the red dust, they have too many bonds.
So they knew that the wine was fake, and they were all very sober, and they were not drunk at all.
Except for Tianxing, she was the only demon who was drunk.
She smirked, took out the bamboo given to her by the Phoenix Ancestor from her sleeve, struck the empty Tiger Venerable with the beat, and sang drunken eyes:
There are adults and gentlemen, with heaven and earth as one day, ten thousand dynasties as a moment, the sun and the moon as the barrier, and the eight wildernesses as the court.
There is no trace, there is no room, the curtain is on the ground, and the indulgence is as it is.
……
Thoughtless, its joy is Taotao. Drunk and drunk, awake and open-minded; Listen quietly and do not hear the sound of thunder, do not see the shape of Mount Tai, do not feel the cold and heat of the muscles, the feelings of desire.
Looking down on all things, disturbing and disturbing, such as duckweed carried by Jiang and Han; The two heroes serve sideways, such as moths and moths......
This is the ancient book of the human race "Ode to Wine Virtue", which is about a great gentleman who indulges in heaven and earth, and everything must be in a moment, proud of the world, extraordinary, and free in the world.
Thinking about coming to this Ten Thousand Demon Realm, he was so bold and reckless, and he didn't care that this jasper bamboo was actually given by the ancestor of the Phoenix Clan, and the only one who used it to percussion music was Tianxing.
Tianxing closed his eyes, and tapped the tiger with bamboo, looking selfless, as if she was the only demon left in the world, looking at the sun and moon in heaven and earth, the smoke and dust of the eight wildernesses, accompanied by wine, and the vulgar can not touch the body.
This kind of lofty realm of the unity of heaven and man, at this time, she finally realized. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
