755. Smell the fragrance and be fascinated, but it is difficult to taste and drink
As for what was going on with the Council of Elders, there was also a detailed explanation in Yun Chongmo's divine thoughts. Yun Chongmo is now the Great Elder. At this moment, the members of the Council of Elders and all the Dacheng Demon Cultivators here have gathered, and they are waiting for Cheng Tianle in the conference room of the township government, and only one Dongfang Jingxue is still in the cafeteria.
They also knew that as long as Cheng Tianle saw the menu on the wall, they could understand what was going on, so they were ready to officially entertain guests, and Dongfang Jingxue specially went to invite Cheng Tianle this morning. If Cheng Tianle hasn't reacted to the menu yet, or if he has reacted and continues to pretend to be confused, then forget it, there is no need to meet as a monk.
Dongfang Jingxue stood up and said, "Mr. Cheng, please!" โ
In the past few days, Wuling Township is not only entertaining a foreign tourist, but also receiving a head of the Kunlun cultivation community who has come to visit, which is the first time in thousands of years. Cheng Tianle may not know this place, so let him understand it as much as possible, and wait for him to open his mouth to find out his identity, and at this moment, it will be an official fellow worship.
The township government is very close, right next door to the hotel. Fang Cai Yun Chongmo's divine thoughts had already made it clear that there were twenty-five Dacheng demon cultivators here, but now ten of them were not in Wuling Township, or had emigrated to other places, or happened to be traveling. The matter of the Council of Elders was discussed by the Dacheng Demon Cultivator who was in the local area at that time, including Dongfang Jingxue, who led the way, a total of fifteen people, and they were also received by Cheng Tianle to worship the mountain.
Cheng Tianle has been to many cultivation sects to worship the mountain, and he knows the general form. But the situation here is completely different, the location is not the patriarch's hall of the sect, it is the meeting room of the township government, and the scene is not like a fellow practitioner of the sect visiting wรจn, but more like a leader on the news network receiving foreign guests.
There is a mural on the wall at the front of the conference room, which depicts the 100,000 mountains. There are two sofas in the middle, the left is Yun Chongmo's seat, the right is Cheng Tianle's seat, and the other fourteen Dacheng demon cultivators are seated on both sides. Everyone speaks Chinese, and they all use Shen Chan, so you don't have to sit behind the sofa to translate.
Cheng Tianle gave a salute first, and the demons returned the salute, and then the guests and hosts sat down. Yun Chongmo first said: "On behalf of all the demon cultivators and all the members of the Council of Elders in Wuling Township, I would like to warmly welcome the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Transformations Sect and Mr. Cheng Tianle to visit!" I have long known that Cheng is coming. All the demon cultivators in Wuling Township are full of expectations. You have been inspecting for three days and three nights, and you must have a good idea of what the people are and what the spirit of the demons is like. โ
Cheng Tianle was a little amused in his heart, but he also said: "Thank you for the warm reception of all the Daoists in Wuling Township, showing me the life and cultivation of all the demon cultivators in this blessed land outside the world. They are simple, innocent, and spontaneous, which makes me feel very delighted. Before I came, I had some doubts, I didn't know what kind of world would be here? It was only here that I realized that if the legend really exists, it should be like this. โ
Yun Chongmo: "Mr. Cheng has made a friendly visit to Wรจn this time, and I hope that Wuling Township can leave you with a good impression." Not only among fellow demon cultivators, but also in the Kunlun cultivation world in the future. Mutual affection for each other. โ
Cheng Tianle finally couldn't hold back anymore, and took a breath and said, "Great Elder, can we stop talking like that?" โ
A room full of Dacheng demon cultivators laughed, and Yun Chongmo also smiled: "We have never received the sect master of the Kunlun cultivation world here to worship the mountain. I don't have any experience, so I went to school with news broadcasters. โ
Cheng Tianle: "The Great Elder is really humorous! โฆโฆ We don't have to do this, we can talk how we want. โ
Yun Chongmo patted his thigh and said, "Yes, it's better to be natural." Give Mr. Cheng a cup of tea! โ
Cheng Tianle sat there and waited for tea, but what was served was not ready-made tea. I saw a beautiful Dacheng female demon cultivator. Shui Qingling, who was also one of the elders present, went out and brought in two stoves, one large and one small, and lit a charcoal fire in the furnace and placed them in the center of the conference room. A pot of water was boiling on the big stove, and Shui Qingling took out another sand pot, put the tea leaves into the pot and baked it on a small stove, and turned the sand pot from time to time.
The tea leaves in the jar are evenly roasted, making a slight crackling sound, and a unique tea aroma permeates the conference room. Cheng Tianle has never seen anyone who makes tea and roasts tea first, Yun Chongmo quietly said with a divine thought: "We are here in Bai Autonomous Township, this method of tea worship is the custom of the Bai nationality, and it is more interesting in Wuling Township, and it is also a magical method that has been passed down to this day, and it is impossible for ordinary people to taste it." โ
This tea has been drunk all day long, it is the tea that Cheng Xuantong, the principal of the primary school and middle school of the day before yesterday, invited him to taste, the same tea leaves, but now he has changed to a cooking method. When the fragrance of tea spreads, the water in the pot is also boiling. Shui Qingling Fiber held the pot, washed the hot water into the sand pot, and then boiled tea in the sand pot on the small stove, and the sound was like rolling thunder.
After a while, the tea had been boiled, and Shui Qingling took out sixteen more cups, one cup for each person present, and offered tea on a tray in front of Cheng Tianle. Cheng Tianle stretched out his hand to take it, and Shui Qingling himself picked up a cup and said, "Mr. Cheng, please use this tea." โ
This tea is not full, only half a cup, the color is like amber with a rich fragrance, and the smell is refreshing. This may indeed be the custom of the Bai people, but Shui Qingling added the technique of refining medicine when making tea. This tea is a kind of elixir, can clear the heart and eyes, at this moment has been the bait spirituality completely integrated into the tea sleep, Cheng Tianle has never seen such a good smell of tea, immediately under the tongue of the relish.
Raise a glass and drink it, but the feeling is different from the smell, the taste of this tea is extremely bitter! There are all kinds of bitter tea in the world, and the bitterness of this tea, the root is not something that ordinary people can eat, not only will the tongue be numb, as long as the tip of the tongue is touched, it will be numb to the back of the head, and even the whole body will feel astringent. Cheng Tianle's expression did not change, he took a sip in his mouth and tasted it carefully, and slowly drank half a cup of extremely bitter tea.
Everyone drank it, and Yun Chongmo asked with a smile: "Mr. Cheng, how is this tea?" โ
Cheng Tianle replied: "The smell of the fragrance is pleasant, and I can't help but yearn for it; The bitterness of the taste is extreme, and it is difficult to drink. โ
Since you are tasting such a tea on such an occasion, it will naturally not be a simple question and answer. This tea is also a practice bait, after drinking, you need to use the mana to turn its spiritual effect, so how to distinguish its medicinal properties, what is the perception of drinking, is the process of turning and absorbing the medicinal power. Cheng Tianle knew that Yun Chongmo was asking about the meaning of this tea, so he also replied with divine thoughts.
Cheng Tianle is not an orator, he likes to talk about all kinds of theories with clever words, and if he talks about these, those "lecturers" who engage in pyramid schemes are probably better at it than him. Cheng Tianle is talking about what he has witnessed and experienced at this time, this tea is like the way of cultivation, the world has heard all kinds of magical spells and the wonder of practice, and every time he yearns for it, but he does not know the hardships of entering this doorway. Just like Cheng Tianle walked into Wuling Township, this road is also quite difficult, and some people just can't get in.
Melander once relayed to Cheng Tianle the "One Life, Two Fortunes and Three Feng Shui" explained by one of his mentors, and Cheng Tianle quoted it at this moment. Birds and beasts are born in time, and the original body is the Hezhong race, this is fate, not a choice that people can choose in this life; Just like people in the world, they can't choose where they come from, where they come from, and what families they come from. But the monster has been created by heaven and earth, and there is a great fortune to open the spiritual wisdom and cultivate into a demon, this is luck.
The demons seen in Wuling Township have turned into people, like ordinary villagers. Achieving this achievement seems to be a pleasure, but the lust, body, fire, demon realm and other tests are all very endurable. How many people have not been able to spend their lives, or even fall because of it. This is the same whether it is for a human monk or a mountain demon cultivator.
Therefore, this tea smells pleasant, but the taste is extremely bitter. But is it just bitterness? But there is a spiritual effect in it! Its effect of clearing the mind and eyes is not an ordinary concept of recuperation and healing, but it can really make the original spirit clear and the original body stronger eyesight, and its effect is permanent. Although its spiritual effect is negligible for Cheng Tianle, it is very obvious for ordinary monsters or monks, depending on how much medicinal power it can absorb in turn.
Cheng Tianle came from an ordinary background, was ignorant when he was young, and was deceived into going to Suzhou Shantang by mistake, but because of this, he got the magic trick of demon correction, and he succeeded in cultivating by mistake. But he was able to break through the fetters in the delusional realm for many years, but he could not achieve great success with his human body, and this arduous process did not fall into the traces, and outsiders could not understand it. Later, due to the guidance of the masters, he retreated to Tibet and rebuilt, and Cheng Tianle paid three times the effort to condense the Xuanzhu Pearl.
Fate and fortune are like this, and the human realm is also self-choosing, and man's self-choice is the way to get along with oneself, with others, and with the world, which is also the practice of the second stage. Cheng Tianle people have the achievements of demon cultivation, and founded the Ten Thousand Variations Sect to guide the demon to practice in the world, and set up rules to protect the demon cultivators in the world from being coerced because of their origins, this is the way he chose to stand on the ground, that is, the feng shui he chose to create.
Looking at the demons in Wuling Township, it is their blessing to become a demon, and it is their choice to gather here in human form, and lead the truth to guard this blessed land outside the world. Guiding monsters to settle down and practice in the world is actually what the Ten Thousand Variations Sect wants to do, and Wuling Township has been passed down in this way for thousands of years. There is not only one way for demon cultivators to gain a foothold in the world, and Wuling Township is one of them.
If we don't talk about the cultivation of Taoism, we don't talk about how monsters appear in the world, and the same is true when we look at the world and the world. - The last sentence is a big truth, Cheng Tianle didn't say much, he mainly introduced his cultivation experience and the origin of the founding of the Ten Thousand Variations Sect, as well as his views on the existence of demons in the world, the most important of which is the perception of Wuling Township through guรฒ tea.
Yun Chongmo nodded and said, "The total product is very careful, very attentive, and very realistic!" Not only did you taste the first tea, but our second tea hasn't been brewed yet, and it seems that you have already tasted the next taste. โ
