Back then, Zong Zhengke was four years old, less than five years old, and was accepted as a fourth disciple by Pudu Monk because of the "three breaks". The monk loved her and allowed her to lead the practice, and when she became an adult in the future, whether she was born or entered the WTO was chosen by herself.

At that time, the Pudu monk was over 100 years old. Zong Zhengke's two senior brothers, Medicine Buddha Venerable and Gaya Venerable, one is seventy years old and the other is more than fifty, and only the third senior brother is only ten years older than her.

At the age of fourteen, she was four years old. But she was a human being in two lifetimes, and although the combined age of the two lives was almost the same as the general trend, her tormented heart was already old—lifeless and twilight.

Both the master and the two brothers and sisters are very fond of the powdered and jade-like Zong Zhengke, and they all intend to teach in person, but the general trend is so that they only use one sentence to snatch the right to teach Zong Zhengke's substitute teacher. He said to the master and his brothers disrespectfully, that the little junior sister was old and old-fashioned when she was young, and if she was not allowed to stay with the young man, she would be even older than Uncle Chengjing.

The Taishang Zhangyuan of the Great Pushou Monastery is a quiet god and nun of the same generation as the Pudu monk, and is five years older than the Pudu monk. After hearing the words of the young man, and looking at the little girl's numb eyes that were as unrippling as stagnant water, the monk and the two Venerables wisely gave up their right to upbringing.

Since then, Zong Zhengke has fallen into the "clutches" of the general trend. She was reborn for more than a year at that time, racking her brains for revenge and future life, and finally came to the East China Sea Buddha Kingdom to worship under the seat of Pudu Divine Monk, seeking the capital of revenge to rely on the world, and only thinking about how fast and enough to practice martial arts. But what did the trend teach her?

- Go down to the river to fish and shrimp, go up the mountain to pick wild fruits, climb trees and steal birds' eggs, cuddle grass and beat rabbits, cut window flowers, turn grass ropes, weave garlands, and so on, almost all of the entertainment activities that the male and female naughty children of the Buddhist family in the East China Sea like to play.

After a month like this, Zong Zhengke, who could not bear it anymore, protested against the general trend and warned him that if he did not teach her useful real things, she would commit suicide by hunger strike.

The general trend smiled softly, and said to her, there is a soaring murderous aura hidden in your eyes, you have a great enemy who is willing to die of hatred, and you are reluctant to commit suicide to cheapen the enemy.

As a result, the life of a naughty child continues. It wasn't until one day that the general trend took out the simmered bird eggs from the ashes and handed them to Zong Zhengke to eat, but accidentally rubbed the cigarette ashes, and she giggled out loud very shamelessly, and this life ended.

But after really starting the arduous martial arts study, Zong Zhengke would always recall the unrestrained naughty life of more than three months. One day, she was taught a lesson mercilessly because she couldn't move home. After scolding, the general trend said, if it weren't for the sweetness of those months, you wouldn't feel the bitterness you are now. In this life, there are bitter and sweet in order to taste.

In her last life, there was only bitterness, not sweetness. Even if she was later rescued to Tianyi Zhenzong and lived with Jingxu Daogu and Changshou'er for nearly three years, she only felt calm.

In this way, there are always two or three months a year, and the general trend is to take Zong Zhengke to play crazy, followed by martial arts training that is so severe that even Pudu monks are distressed. Zong Zhengke's two teachers and brothers were even more reluctant to let her suffer, and tried to rob her of her parenting rights several times.

The general trend is indisputable, and only let Zong Zhengke choose by himself. In the end, she still rejected the master and the two senior brothers with tears in their eyes. She understands that the severity of the general trend today will make her future. Her talent for martial arts can only be regarded as acceptable, if she is not diligent and not rigorous, how can she really have the foundation of self-preservation?

When Zong Zhengke was eight years old, the general trend suddenly sent her back to the Pudu monk. said that he was traveling, and he was gone for four years. It wasn't until last year that he came back again, but he no longer taught her alone, only occasionally instructing her. But more often, he brought a small stove and an urn of water to find out her carefully collected tea leaves and brew them, laughing at her hard work.

——In those four years, although others were not there, Zong Zhengke had become accustomed to using the most severe way to practice penance. Master and the two senior brothers can only go with her.

Today, the general trend is coming, Zong Zhengke is a little surprised, and he feels normal in a trance. She and he knelt opposite each other on a futon in front of the Buddha statue, and between the two of them was a small red clay furnace burning with a small flame.

On the stove is already sitting a six-sided engraved lotus lion buckle six-legged beam sterling silver pot filled with water, a set of blue and white tea set played by a shepherd boy riding a bull and a horizontal flute on a white background, and a small piece of carved silk clay gold Buddha sacrificed himself to feed the eagle on the ground.

Zong Zhengke was quite speechless, the third senior brother of her family really had to take this four-piece tea drinking set with him wherever he went. However, since the general trend did not turn over her tea, then he must have brought it himself, and she couldn't help but have some expectations.

The two of them sat relatively quietly, and their eyes slid over Zong Zhengke's hair bun and ivory comb, and then fell on the small and delicate anemone petal earbuds in her earlobes, and then jumped to her moon-white gown, and saw a tall and green green bamboo embroidered on it, which was fresh and elegant. The pale yellow upline skirt was unadorned, and it didn't move under the pressure of the round pei that hung from her waist.

His eyes were direct and open, and he was focused and deep, while Zong Zhengke let him look left and right indifferently. She has been in the Buddha country for nearly nine years, wearing clothes every day, and today she is officially wearing layman women's clothes, and the senior brother feels that the novelty should also be.

After a moment, the general trend sighed lightly: "But the little prince of the small country of Pu'er, is it also worth your effort to go out of your way?" Look at you, you've lost a lot of weight. ”

Zong Zhengke's expression was flat, and he whispered, "I'm willing." ”

When the general trend came, he looked at her gently, and said softly: "It's hard to buy you for a daughter." Just a small country, you are happy, you can play how you want. You just remember that you should not neglect your body and bones no matter what. ”

Zong Zhengke nodded, indicating that he was taught.

The general trend looked around again, his face was full of disgust, but when he saw that Zong Zhengke did not move, he did not say the words of persuasion. After another moment, there was a slight movement in the water in the little red furnace, and he said again: "Today, you have completed ten years of cultivation. Congratulations. ”

Zong Zhengke looked at him with his eyelids, leaned forward slightly, and showed a shallow smile: "Senior Brother Xie." After a pause, he finally asked, "Senior brother has come from thousands of miles away, but is there something?" ”

Dashi Zhi said with a smile: "A few months ago, the sky changed in Zhao, and Xiao Wanwan became the sixth empress in the history of Zhao. She sent her companion Ying, the former four-rank female official of the Qianqing Palace, to Tianxingguo, and Mingli secretly went to find your great-grandmother in order to announce the succession of the new emperor of the Great Zhao to Tianxingguo. ”

Annoying these political matters the most, Zong Zhengke frowned. But Xiao Wanwan, the former daughter of the Jokhang Emperor, had a good relationship with her, and she was very entertained in the past. She thought of the girl who couldn't look down on the boy with a bright smile, and sighed a little.

"Why is Wan Wan looking for my great-grandmother?" Zong Zhengke knew who the general trend was talking about, that was the ancestor of the Su Hangzhou Xiao family, Mrs. Xiao, who was eighty-two years old this year, and the youngest daughter of the princess of the Qin State who was born from the Imperial Concubine of the Jiashan Dynasty of the Jokhang Empire.

"Because Mrs. Xiao is not only the oldest elder of the Yunhang Xiao clan and the Su Hang Xiao clan of the Tianxing Kingdom, but also the oldest elder of the Xiao clan of the Jokhang Empire." The general trend was to lift the beam of the silver kettle, which was already boiling, and slowly poured most of the water into the two teacups on his side. Then he slowly turned the teacup, his movements were gentle, and the snow-white fingers against the azure teacup were really beautiful.

After a while, he poured the warm cup of water into the empty teapot, and then said: "Xiao Fengheng has become the uncle of the regent, and he has the power alone, how can Xiao Wanwan be willing? She asked Ying Xunhuan to bring the secret decree of canonizing Mrs. Xiao as the princess of Qin, and wanted to gain Mrs. Xiao's support. After all, the princess of the pre-Qin Kingdom once gathered quite a lot of power behind her, but it has not completely dispersed until now. ”

Zong Zhengke really couldn't help it, pinched his temples with his fingertips, and said helplessly: "What's the matter with me?" Why do you bother to tell me? ”

Seeing that her temples were pinched out of her nail marks, she sighed lightly, raised her fingers and gently stroked the corners of her forehead, and the crescent-like marks disappeared without a trace. His snow-white fingers touched Zong Zhengke's ice skin and jade skin, and he couldn't tell whose complexion was fairer and more delicate.

"Why is it none of your business? Next year, Mrs. Siu will celebrate her 83rd birthday. Now that you have finished purifying, you naturally want to congratulate her on her birthday, which is also beneficial to the things you want to play. The general trend was so that he withdrew his fingers, and there was an unnoticed tremor in his fingertips. Quietly, he lifted the silver kettle again, poured the water into the two teacups again, and poured half a small cup each.

"Next year, next year. Maybe at that time, I was already in Tianxingjing, farther away from Suhangfu. Seeing that the general trend was so bad that she didn't take out the tea leaves, Zong Zhengke wanted to avoid these things she didn't want to hear, so she said, "I'll go get some Buddha tea." ”

"No, you don't." Da Shizhi pressed one hand on her knee, gently and quickly took it back, and said with a smile, "This year, some of the golden tea has been collected, one-third of it has been filial to the master, one-third has been divided between the two senior brothers, and the remaining one-third I have brought it to you to taste." ”

As he spoke, he took out a mutton fat white jade locket from his arms, opened the lid of the box, took out the delicate small jade spoon pinned to the lid, and carefully pulled out seven golden tea leaves into a tea cup with the jade spoon. The tea leaves quickly sink into the water, and the leaves slowly unfold with the steaming heat, which is as beautiful as a painting.

Zong Zhengke's eyes lit up. Since her rebirth, her only hobby has been drinking tea. As long as it is good tea, there is nothing she doesn't like, and she loves Putuo Buddha tea the most. This Putuo golden tea is a rare treasure in Putuo Buddha tea, and there is only one mother tea tree that grows on the top of Nanshan Mountain. And this tea can only be brewed in one shop, and the second shop has no taste at all.

If you want to get golden tea, it all depends on luck. When luck comes, you can get it once in three years. If you're unlucky, you won't be able to taste a piece for five years. Zong Zhengke has been in the East China Sea Buddha Country for nearly ten years, and he has only tasted golden tea twice. That taste made her lips and teeth fragrant for most of the year, and now when she thinks about it, she instantly relishes it.
