Yanagi Zonghan counterattacked: "The surname is Lu, you are a little aggressive, I don't know what your tea ceremony is?" You're not going to copy my tea ceremony, are you? ”

Lu Yu smiled: "Mr. Zonghan, don't worry, my tea ceremony is completely different from yours. ”

"I believe that the tea ceremony is a kind of cultural inheritance and integration, and tea is a carrier of this cultural inheritance and integration, a specific tea practice process, and also a process of self-improvement and self-understanding of tea people."

"Some people think that the tea ceremony is an elegant culture, I don't agree, I think that the tea ceremony can be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar, and people of different statuses, beliefs, and cultural levels have different pursuits for the tea ceremony. The aristocracy talks about "the treasure of tea", which is intended to show off power, boast of wealth, and vassal elegance. Literati bachelors talk about the "rhyme of tea", support things, inspire literary thinking, and make friends. Buddhism talks about the "virtue of tea", which is intended to refresh the mind from sleepiness, participate in Zen enlightenment, and become a Buddha in the intersex. Taoism talks about "the power of tea", which is intended to taste tea and maintain health, protect life for many years, and become immortals. Ordinary people talk about the "taste of tea", which is intended to remove the fishy and greasy, cleanse and quench thirst, and enjoy life. ”

"I think that the process by which a tea taster becomes enlightened through drinking is called a tea ceremony. Or to put it simply, the taster's awareness of tea is called the tea ceremony. Because the people who taste tea are different, the awareness of tea is also different. But one thing is the same, the process of tea tasting and enlightenment is the process of inheritance, integration and cognition of culture. That's why I say that the tea ceremony is a kind of cultural inheritance and integration. ”

After Lu Yu finished speaking, Yanagi Zonghan showed a thoughtful expression.

He pondered for a moment and said lightly: "The tea ceremony that you young man understands has some meaning. However, the tea ceremony does not only contain truth, I don't know if you understand the tea order? ”

"I understand a little." Lu Yu smiled meaningfully.

"Sit and drink cold water and watch the frying dust. There is no reason to hold a dish and send it to tea lovers. ”

Liu Sheng Zonghan made a tea order and looked at Lu Yu provocatively, "Since you say that you are well versed in the tea ceremony, do you know the origin of this tea order?" Probably right? ”

"Bai Juyi's mountain spring sencha has a heart." Lu Yu didn't want to say directly, "Sect Master Zonghan may not know, my master named me Lu Yu, what these two words mean in the tea ceremony. Actually, this is the name of the tea saint. If I dare to call it by this name, how can I not understand tea? Mr. Zong Han, listen to a song of six envy of the tea saint Lu Yu. ”

Lu Yu chanted: "Don't envy the golden jade, don't envy the white jade cup." Do not envy the province of the DPRK, and do not envy the twilight of Taiwan. Thousands of envy of the West River, once to Jingling City. ”

"Full of fire and fragrant fireflies, Wu Ouxiang water green flowers new. Shame on the taste of thousands of miles, send it to the spring breeze wine thirsty people. Yanagi Zonghan competed against each other, and he was right again.

"This is the Tang Dynasty Li Qunyu's answer friend sent new tea." Lu Yu smiled, "This tea order, good returns, used for the poetry of the tea saint, but it loses a bit of artistic conception." ”

"Could it be that you can find a better one?" Yanagi asked.

"In the tea order, there is a poem that can indeed overshadow the six envy songs of the tea saint, although you Japanese admire my Chinese culture, but after all, Huaxia is not your mother tongue, and it is normal not to know." Lu Yu replied.

"Which one?"

"One Seven Orders."

Lu Yu began to chant:

Tea.

bay leaves, young shoots.

Mu Shike, love monks.

Grinding white jade, weaving red yarn.

Cho fried astragalus, bowl twisted dust flowers.

After the night, he was invited to accompany the bright moon, and he was ordered to the morning glow before the morning.

Wash away the tirelessness of the ancient and modern people, and it is not boastful that they will be drunk.

This poem, which was made by Yuan Zhen, from one word to seven words, is also called a pagoda poem.

When Lu Yu finished reciting this pagoda poem, Buyanagi Zonghan was shocked.

He has read a lot of poems about tea, and even can recite a lot, but few people have noticed this tower poem, and now, after Lu Yu finished reciting, he was shocked by the delicacy and artistic conception of this tower poem.

At this moment, Liu Sheng Zonghan looked at Lu Yu without the previous contempt in his eyes, and he had realized that although the young man in front of him looked like a hanger, since the other party was able to recite this tower poem with a peculiar structure, and it was also a poem of Yuan Zhen, this shows that the other party's involvement in traditional Chinese culture may be quite profound, otherwise, how can such a tower poem be found casually?

However, Liu Sheng Zonghan didn't want to admit defeat like this, and said: "Since you use the poem of Yuan Zhen, then I still use a poem of Bai Juyi, right?" Shu tea was sent but shocked, and Weishui decoction came to feel the treasure. The full ou is like milk to hold and play, and the situation is that the spring wine is thirsty. ”

Lu Yu didn't think about it, and immediately responded to a song of Liu Yuxi's tea tasting.

Yanagi Zonghan then sang a song of Pi Rixiu's tea.

The two of you are competing with me one by one, and the other Japanese samurai are already a little dumbfounded at the moment.

Yanagi Zonghan, a Japanese, is so proficient in Chinese tea poetry, and that's not it, what he didn't expect was that Lu Yu didn't have the slightest intention of admitting defeat and compromising without any preparation, and he actually fought with Yanagi Zonghan. And Lu Yu looks like a young man in his early twenties, and it stands to reason that people at this age should not be very proficient in traditional Chinese culture and poetry.

Next, after the two competed for 8 more rounds, Yagyu sat there, sweating profusely, and let him rack his brains, unable to think of a poem related to tea.

At this time, Lu Yu said lightly: "Do you admit defeat?" ”

Yanagi Zonghan's face was full of unwillingness, but he could only nod with a wry smile: "I admit defeat." But can you chant a few more? ”

Lu Yu didn't speak, just stood there, calmly recited a song of Xie Zongke's snow sencha, Su Shi's Yongcha, Li Bai's nephew Zhongfu gave Yuquan cactus tea and preface, after reciting these three songs, Lu Yu looked at Liu Sheng Zonghan lightly and said, "Do you still need me to chant some more?" I can not recite many tea poems, only more than 300. ”

When Liu Sheng Zonghan heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he looked at Lu Yu with shock.

He has always thought that with his attainments in the tea ceremony, he is definitely relatively advanced in Japan, especially in tea-related poems, he has worked hard, and there are dozens of tea-related poems that he can memorize, but now, compared with the young man in front of him, he knows that he is still a little shallow.

Although he didn't know whether this young man's claim that he could recite 300 tea-related poems was true or false, he had to admit that he really underestimated the Chinese people, and even more so the young man in front of him.

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng Zonghan frowned and asked, "Could it be that there are many Chinese people like you who are familiar with traditional Chinese culture?" ”

Lu Yu smiled and shook his head: "Actually, it's not much, we in China, like you in Japan, are facing the problem of losing traditional culture and becoming less and less valued by young people, but I believe that since our Chinese culture can be inherited for 5,000 years, it will definitely be inherited for 50,000 years, and the real beauty will not disappear in the long river of history." Even if it is a temporary decline, it is just like dusty old wine, and once opened, the taste will only become more and more moving. ”

"Taught." Yanagi Zonghan arched his hand, "Lu Jun's tea ceremony cultivation and personality charm are not beyond the reach of ordinary people, and I, Yanagi Zonghan, are not as good as you." However, Lu Jun came to Japan on this trip for the sake of the battle of truths, you have your reason, and we Japan also have our Japanese truths, but I don't know if Lu Jun's knife path is as good as Lu Jun's tea ceremony, which is fascinating? ”

"Then I don't know how Sect Master Zonghan plans to taste my sword path?" Lu Yu said lightly.

"Lu Jun is only twenty-four this year, if I do it with you personally, I will lose the dignity of our Great Japanese Bushido. Zong Bi, come up, let's take a look at Lu Jun's knife first, and see if he is qualified to cut down our tree. ”

Liu Sheng Zonghan waved his hand, and immediately a young man with hair stood up and looked at Lu Yu coldly.

"His name is Yanagi Zongbi, he is my youngest brother, although he is a few years older than Lu Jun, he is not yet thirty years old, if Lu Jun can defeat the knife in his hand, my new Yin Liu will be regarded as losing a game first. We must invite young masters from all over Japan to challenge Lu Jun's sword path. Yagyu explained.

"It depends on my knife, of course, but not without a color." Lu Yu said coldly.

"I don't know what color head Lu Jun wants?" Yanagi asked.

Lu Yu pulled out a knife and said with a smile: "This knife, Miaofa Muramasa, is the color of my battle, since you want to fight with me, you have to come out with one of the top ten famous knives." As you should know, one of the purposes of my trip is to collect your top 10 Japanese swords. ”

"What an arrogant boy, what if I promise you."

Yanagi Zonghan untied a Tai knife from his waist and threw it to Yanagi Zongbi, "Zongbi." You take my saber Rachel to face Lu Jun, if you lose, you know what to do. ”

Liu Sheng Zongbi took the "Lei Che", licked his lips, and said coldly: "Sect Master, please rest assured, if Zongbi loses, he should apologize for his seppuku." ”

"Rachel?"

Lu Yu squinted his eyes, "The value is about the same as this Miaofa Village, so let's do it." ”

He untied the "Imperial Sword" and the "Heavenly Cloud" and threw them to Wei Wenchang, leaving only the "Miaofa Muramasa" in his hand, and walked to the middle of the hall, holding his arms, and looking at Yanagi Zongbi lazily.

Rachel, a famous sword in ancient Japan, was the sword of the famous general Tachibana Michiyuki of the Warring States period, and was originally known as "Chidori". Hou Daoxue is known as the embodiment of Ray, so his favorite sword is also called Rachel. Legend has it that Dotachi Hanayuki once used it to kill the god of thunder.

"Kill!"

Liu Shengzong roared, and the thunder cut out of the sheath, and the blade was like lightning, slashing directly at Lu Yu.

This knife is really like the reincarnation of the god of thunder, that is, fast and accurate, as powerful as thunder, and as sharp as lightning.
