Chapter 132 Agarwood Cup
(Happy holidays for the new year.) Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere will be a chapter later. )
Since there is no fixed title for religion in India, there is no certainty as to what to call them. Guru means teacher and master, and Ji is an honorific title, which is what ordinary Indians would call monks.
The two monks who came, one old and one young, had already met the younger man Zhou You, who was one of the monks in charge of reception. Although the old monk Zhou You had never seen each other in his life, in his previous life, in 2010, he and Naya had met each other once.
At that time, he was already the head of the entire temple, because all the brahmins were under his control, and according to the rank, he should be at the level of abbot, imam, priest. However, because this person is not an important person to Zhou You, Zhou You has long forgotten his name.
The concierge courtyard of the temple is very exquisitely built because it shoulders the role of entertaining VIPs. The house faces the mountains to the east, backed by the clear water of the Ganges, the whole room is decorated with logs, and there is a large balcony that extends to the river.
Seeing Zhou You's smiling face, the old monk said, "Good evening, distinguished guests, and welcome to the temple, I hope your time at the temple will always be pleasant." ”
India was fully occupied by the British two centuries ago, and after two hundred years of nurturing, most Indians can speak some English, especially the senior monks, whose English proficiency is relatively good.
Although there was a strong curry flavor, Zhou You also understood his words. He leaned sideways out of the doorway, reaching for it. "Please come to the room and talk, your black tea is very fragrant, I like it very much."
He turned back to the young man and said, "Dalvi, go and bring the set of wooden cups from my study and give them to your distinguished guest." The young man bowed his head, glanced at Zhou You with a little curiosity, and turned to leave.
The old monk bowed his head and took off his shoes, and walked barefoot into the traveling room. Zhou You waved his hand at Batistuta, and he quickly disappeared from Zhou You's sight.
Zhou You directly invited the monk to the hard couch on the balcony of his room, and he sat cross-legged on a two-inch-high futon woven of cattails, and then said with a smile: "I don't know if our hospitality is still satisfied?" Please sit down ...... too."
Zhou You stood with his legs crossed, and then sat down directly, and when the tail vertebrae sat firmly on the futon, his legs naturally lifted up, and he took on a sitting position.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, because the movements of Zhou You seemed simple, but they were very difficult. Crossing the legs causes the calves to force each other, and it is difficult to control the center of gravity of the person sitting down. It is very difficult to sit down smoothly without a pause without a single pause.
However, he didn't ask Zhou You directly, but greeted Zhou You, and at this time, Zhou You also learned that his name was Sharuk.
They traveled around through the arrangement of UBS India's headquarters, and before that, the temple did not know that the guests to be received were traveling around, so they did not pay special attention to it. But after the government workers showed up, even if they didn't have to confess, the people of the temple knew what to do.
Unlike religions in the Mainland, foreign sects are generally actively involved in the management of mundane affairs. Christianity controlled the succession of nations for 2,000 years, and it was not until after the Middle Ages, when secular power increased dramatically, that they had to reclaim many of their powers.
Islam still controls the lives of countries in the Middle East and Africa, and many countries are still religiously united.
The same is true of the Hindu sects, which occupy the top class and all the people are to serve them, so the important figures in the sect are also the most skilled diplomats and statesmen.
Shah Rukh has a thorough understanding of the outside world, coupled with his eloquence, and maintains an appropriate degree of intimacy in the dialogue with Zhou You, making Zhou You feel like a spring breeze.
Dalvi brought over a set of inconspicuous-looking tea sets, a simple-looking teapot, and four clumsy-looking wooden cups, but from the sandalwood wooden box and the heavily wrapped silk, Zhou You also knew that this tea set was not as simple as it seemed.
He respectfully placed the tea set on the wooden table between Zhou You and Shah Rukh, then retreated behind Shah Rukh and beckoned, and the two monks came in with a set of tandoors, they set up the tandoor, put a clay pot and kettle on the stove, and quietly left.
Zhou You noticed that the tandoor was burning with charcoal that burned very fragrantly, and the room was enveloped in aroma for a while. Shah Rukh waited for the two monks to leave before he whispered, "This is a special Ruixiang wood from the southern foothills of the Himalayas...... Since this kind of fragrant wood is very rare, I also took a lot of effort to get such a set of tea sets......"
Zhou You asked with some curiosity, "Ruixiangmu?" What kind of wood is this? ”
He burst out laughing and explained, "In your country, this wood is also called agarwood......
As soon as he said this, Zhou You immediately understood, and curiously picked up the teapot in the box, put it in his hand and observed it gently. This kind of wood is indeed much heavier than ordinary wood, about the same weight as holding a porcelain pot. But in the hand, there is no smooth feeling of a porcelain pot, but it feels a little handy, and there is an indescribable fragrance.
Zhou You put it under his nose and sniffed it, then put it back in the box and said with a smile: "This gift is too valuable, I don't understand why Your Excellency loves me so much." ”
He said very calmly: "Although agarwood is valuable, it is only sought after in Asia, and only in the hands of people like you can it become a greater benefit." ”
Zhou You couldn't help but laugh, he liked such honesty. At least the exchange is clear, there is no need to owe favors, as for whether the price is higher or lower, it doesn't matter to him at all. "I like this set of gifts very much, and I am very grateful for Guruji's kindness, as for the price, I will give you a price that satisfies you."
He nodded lightly and asked, "I don't understand, Mr. Zhou is busy with affairs now, why did he come to us...... Is it just to learn yoga on vacation? ”
Zhou You spread out his hands, placed them on his knees on both sides, gently closed his eyes, and began to perform exercises according to the visualization of yoga.
In Dalvi's opinion, Zhou You seemed to have done nothing, but for Shahrukh, he immediately felt a strong magnetic field suddenly erupt from Zhou You's body, and this power was more powerful and quintessential than his own.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "This is Snake King Yoga!" ”
Kundalini Yoga is also called Panlong Yoga in the country, but in India, there are no dragons, and they themselves call it Snake King Yoga.
Zhou You opened his eyes and said, "As a martial artist who has practiced yoga, how can you not find an opportunity to visit the birthplace of yoga?" As far as I know, the temple has always been the birthplace of the most researched Yoga of the Serpent King, so I came. ”
He couldn't say a word that was shocked by Zhou You, because even in the temple, no one had more ability than Zhou You showed. What's more, yoga is not a competition, and it is difficult to judge who has higher ability, but judging from the reaction of the magnetic field, Shah Rukh thinks that he can't compare to Zhou You.
At first, they only thought that Zhou You was a yoga enthusiast, so in the arrangement for Zhou You, just some ordinary instructors were arranged to deal with them. But now seeing the ability that Zhou Yu has shown, he specifies that everything needs to be changed.
At this time, the water was boiling, and Dalvi said softly: "XX, the water is boiling." ”
Zhou You didn't understand the word of this title, and he didn't care. Shah Rukh regained some composure and said quickly: "This is spring water from the snow-capped mountains, with Assam's best spring tea, and then tasting it with this set of cups, it will make you appreciate a different tea aroma." ”
For the history of tea cultivation in India, Zhou You also had some understanding. Even before the Opium Wars, Western societies had been seeking trade surpluses with the Qing Dynasty. They went to great lengths to steal tea seeds from Fujian and Zhejiang, hired tea masters with high salaries, and began breeding in Assam, India. It took decades to finally grow his own tea. Subsequently, Assam became the main supplier of tea to the West.
The climate here is very suitable for the growth of tea, and the tea grown is also very good, although it is not as good as the mainland in history, but it is not inferior in terms of production.
Using precious agarwood as a teacup, it is the first time that traveling around is so luxurious. Although the tea brewed in the agarwood cup is slightly bitter in the mouth, after neutralizing the bitterness of the tea, it becomes a crisp fragrance, which even overshadows the fragrance of the tea, so that Luffy, who does not know how to taste tea at all, is also conquered by this taste.
It's a really good gift, and although it costs a lot of money for it, Zhou You thinks it's worth it.
Now agarwood is not expensive, but after more than ten years, each gram will start at 10,000 yuan! Not to mention that this is still a complete set of tea sets, and the value of this will be doubled several times.
After three rounds of tea, Shah Rukh calmed down and said: "I also understand Mr. Zhou's intention, please rest assured, starting tomorrow, we will send the best tour guide to take Mr. Zhou to enjoy the surrounding scenery, and we will also arrange the best yoga master to discuss the meaning of yoga with Mr. Zhou." ”
Zhou You said with a smile: "I am satisfied to be able to contact the yoga master, as for the righteousness, I don't understand it at all." I'm not lying, because I can practice yoga to this level, and even I am inexplicable. ”
He asked again, "Can Mr. Zhou be sure which round he has opened now?" ”
There are seven major chakras in yoga, from the bottom chakra, the reproductive chakra, to the navel chakra, the heart chakra, the throat chakra, the eyebrow chakra and the crown chakra. The last level of Sahasrara is also called the Brahmanchakra, and it's like a myth.
Zhou You shook his head and said: "I think I have passed the Throat Chakra, only there has never been a theoretical support, I came here this time, I also want to ask the masters for advice." ”
Shah Rukh breathed a sigh of relief, although the magnetic field of Zhou You's changes greatly, but this should be related to his own physique, as for the level, there are still many people in the temple who are similar to him, and it seems that he will not make a fool of himself.
