Chapter 45: Tension
Inside the main hall of Lingyan Pavilion.
Hanmei Pavilion Master Mei Aoxue has just come back from inquiring about the news in the past few days, and the wind and dust have rushed to the main hall, and the Pavilion Master is lying lazily on the couch with his eyes closed.
The maid is quietly soaking in the best Biluochun.
So Mei Aoxue quietly stepped aside, the first pavilion rule of Lingyan Pavilion, when the pavilion master made tea, no one was allowed to disturb, even if it was a big matter, he had to wait for the pavilion master to finish tasting the tea and then report, otherwise it would disturb the pavilion master's Yaxing, and the precept hall would be punished, or the heavy would be killed on the spot.
I saw four crystal clear white jade teacups on the desk, small and exquisite, and a small carbon stove next to it, boiling a pot of boiling water, and the heat was rising.
After the maid takes boiling water and scalds the cup, she takes the tea into the cup. At this time, the higher cup temperature has faintly baked the aroma of tea.
In addition, a large white jade cup should be filled with water that has cooled to a moderate temperature to one-third of the cup's capacity (or less, but it needs to be covered with tea leaves). This tea itself is relatively stretchy, and it does not need to use the momentum of water, but it is easy to burn the young leaves.
Because Biluochun belongs to the green tea series, it is best to make tea with a white jade cup, and the crescent-colored white jade cup sets off the silver and green of Biluochun just right.
Fill the rim of the cup with water so that it falls down the rim. Then quietly shake the teacup so that the tea leaves are well soaked.
Stop for about two minutes, allow the dry tea to absorb and stretch, and then rinse until full. Flush as before. At this time, the tea leaves are either wandering and dancing, or wandering between ups and downs, which is unique to tea.
The pavilion owner's favorite is the "Dongting Biluochun" produced in Dongting Mountain of Taihu Lake, this tea into the water, such as a graceful figure, dressed in turquoise Luo yarn, dancing in the water of the young woman, dancing with the water waves, flying up and down, it is very good-looking.
This tea is clear and green, fragrant, the taste is cool and sweet, fresh and fresh, it makes people fragrant and fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless.
Because the pavilion master loves tea, the twenty-four pavilion masters of Lingyan Pavilion have undergone special training and are first-class tea makers.
Brewing this tea is very particular, you need to prepare four white jade cups, a wooden tea tray, a tea lotus, tea props - set, a tea pool, a tea towel - strip, an incense burner, an incense stick, and the best Lingshan sweet spring water.
The basic procedure is:
Step 1: Light incense – burn incense to channel
"Tea must be sorcerative, and incense can be spiritual. Our ancestors believed that tea needs to be tasted quietly, which is the essence of the tea ceremony.
Before tasting tea, you should first burn incense and bathe, find a secluded place with winding paths, sit down quietly, light an incense, and sit on the futon, so as to understand the Zen path contained in this Biluo Spring with an empty and quiet heart.
Step 2: Detergent - Fairy bathing
Good tea needs the best utensils to brew, this tea is green and quiet, the most suitable is to use a white jade porcelain cup, the crystal clear cup is like a fairy with ice and jade, wash off the dust with hot boiling water, leave a high clean, use the cleanest utensils to hold the best tea, it is really icing on the cake.
Step 3: Cold water - the jade pot contains smoke
The best Biluochun, green and delicate, can not withstand the soaking of boiling water, will burn this Biluochun, the most suitable water temperature for making tea is about 80 °C boiling water, after scalding the teacup, do not need to cover the lid, but open the pot, so that the boiling water in the pot will naturally cool down with the evaporation of water vapor.
The spout of the pot is steamy, so this procedure is called "jade pot with smoke".
Step 4: Tea appreciation - Biluo debuted
The following is to appreciate this excellent Biluo spring tea, this tea has four uniques: this unique: the shape is beautiful, the second feeling is colorful, the third is fragrant, and the fourth is mellow. It takes about 70,000 buds to harvest a pound of special snail spring, and you can see that it is slender, curled into a snail, covered with hair, silver and white, and is more like the delicate and cute and shy snail girl in the folk tale.
Step 5: Fill the water - rain rises in the autumn pool
"Bashan Night Rain Autumn Pool" is a very beautiful artistic conception, this fifth step "Rain Autumn Pool" is to pour water into the white jade cup, the water should not be filled, to seven points is just right, leaving three points of love.
It is filled with the various feelings of the people who taste tea, love, family, friendship, patriotism, etc.
Step 6: Throw tea - flying snow and sinking river
That is, use the tea guide to transfer the Biluochun in the tea lotus to the white jade cup that has been flushed with water. The blue snail spring that is covered in hair, silver and white and hidden green is like snowflakes that flutter and fall into the cup, and after absorbing water, it sinks downward, and the white clouds roll in an instant, and the snowflakes fly, which is very good-looking.
Step 7: Look at the color - spring dyeing and clear water
After Biluochun sinks into the water, the hot water in the cup dissolves the nutrients in the tea and gradually turns green, and the whole teacup seems to be filled with the breath of spring. The white jade teacup is filled with turquoise tea, which makes people immersed in it like green mountains and green water, and they can't extricate themselves.
As if inadvertently, the Spring Girl quietly descended into the world, dyed this pool of spring, and gave it to the people of Sichun.
Step 8: Smell the fragrance - the green clouds are fragrant
Smelling the fragrance and knowing the tea is the tea tasting method created by our pavilion owner. The pavilion owner has a very sensitive nose and often asks the maid to blindfold and distinguish what kind of tea it is by the aroma of tea.
The green tea buds of this Biluo spring, along with the green tea, are tumbling like green clouds in the cup, and the dense steam makes the tea fragrant overflowing, and the fragrance hits people. It's like a beauty's body fragrance, which makes you feel relaxed and happy, and you can't stop.
Step 9: Tea tasting - the first taste of jade liquid
Crystal drink Biluochun should be continuously tasted while hot. The first sip is like tasting the ointment of Xuanyu and the liquid of Yunhua, feeling the light color, fragrant and fragrant, and the soup is fresh and elegant, which makes the tea taster drunk and dreaming of death.
Step 10: Re-product - sip the elixir again
This is the second sip of tea. Ersi felt that the tea soup was greener, the tea fragrance was stronger, and the taste was more mellow, and he began to feel the sweetness of the tongue, and his mouth was full of relish.
Step 11: Three products - three products wake up
Daigo Naoshi is cheese. In Buddhist texts, Daigo is used to describe the most subtle "Dharma flavor". When tasting the third sip of tea, what we are tasting is no longer tea, but tasting the breath of spring in Taihu Lake, the vitality of Dongting Mountain, and the flavors of life.
Step 12: Aftertaste - iQue Sanshan
The ancients said that tea should be quiet, tea should be slow, tea should be tasted carefully, the poet Lu Tong wrote the "Tea Song" that has been praised through the ages after tasting seven teas, he said: "Five bowls of muscles and bones are clear, six bowls are through the fairy, seven bowls can not be eaten, only the two armpits are used to the breeze." After tasting three sips of tea, I slowly poured myself and tasted it carefully, and after meditating to experience the seven bowls of tea: "The breeze gives birth to two armpits, and there are a few immortals." Wandering to the three mountains, how it seems to be in the world".
After the pavilion master finished tasting tea, Mei Aoxue gave the maid a look.
Seeing this, the maid immediately whispered in the pavilion master's ear.
Ling Qingyun raised his eyes and saw His Royal Highness Mei Aoxue, and motioned for her to report it.
"Qiyu Pavilion Master, his subordinates found out that it was Hua Chi of the Demon Clan who robbed the Xiaoxiang girl, and the Blood Shadow Pavilion was also involved in the Sword Conference, and now the Xiaoxiang girl was kidnapped in Yishan, and now there is a change in Yishan, I am afraid that Xiaoxiang girl is in danger, and there is one of the four fierce beasts in Yishan, Qiqi, and his subordinates dare not act rashly, so they came to ask the pavilion master. ”
"Blood Shadow Pavilion? is it the one on the newly emerging Huqi Mountain recently?" Ling Qingyun said lazily, this world is not peaceful now, any cat or dog dares to come out and make trouble, it seems that this Xuanyuan Imperial Family is afraid that the number of qi is approaching, and it can't suppress these demons and monsters.
"Yes, the subordinates have not yet ascertained the identity of the Pavilion Master of the Blood Shadow Pavilion, this Huqi Mountain is heavily guarded, and the spies sent are all gone and have not returned, and they should not be able to enter it, it is really an iron wall. ”
"It doesn't matter, if you find out easily, then they don't have to be afraid. ”
Ling Qingyun lay down on the couch again, squinted his eyes and said, "The master is tired, you go down." ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey. ”
Mei Aoxue hadn't retreated yet, only to see a sharp sword qi shooting from outside the hall, flying forward, this sword qi was too powerful, Mei Aoxue couldn't catch it, and was shocked by the sword qi and spit blood in an instant.
This sword aura pointed directly at Ling Qingyun above the main hall, and the maid next to him was shocked, and hurriedly held the sword to protect the pavilion master.
Ling Qingyun, who was lying on the couch, had long since lost his previous lazy appearance, and flew to catch this fierce sword qi.
Because the sword qi was too strong, while Ling Qingyun dissolved it, he was still cut off a handful of hair by the sword qi.
"You.... You ....." Ling Qingyun stammered angrily, pointing his finger at Xuanyuan Zhan, who was full of anger and walked towards the side of the main hall, it seemed that Xuanyuan Zhan was angry and could destroy him at any time.
Seeing that the momentum was not right, Ling Qingyun changed his strategy, "Ah Zhan, you came just in time, I just happened to have something to discuss with you." Then he smiled all over his face and greeted him with a dog's leg.
There was a tense situation in the hall.
In the past, no matter how much he joked with Xuanyuan Zhan, this Xuanyuan Zhan would not really be angry, who knew that as long as he encountered something related to the Xiaoxiang girl, he was always very easy to get angry, this Xiaoxiang girl's hair did not grow, and Xuanyuan Zhan really had such an important position in his heart?
Whether there is it or not, at this time, let's dissipate Xuanyuan Zhan's anger first.
A sword misses, and then another sword.
The target of this sword is his precious tea set, this set of white jade that he has worked hard to find from Jishan, and asked the best jade master to carve it, how can he let this rough man who does not understand taste ruin it.
Ling Qingyun hurriedly turned around to protect his precious tea set.
"Xuanyuan Zhan, don't go too far. "Ling Qingyun is notoriously weird, in addition to the well-known name of Ling Sangongzi, he is also called "strange master" by the Six Realms.
There are three strange things about this strange man: the first: he loves food, the second: he loves beautiful scenery, and the third loves beauty.
As the young master of the Tianshan faction, he is really deviant, he ran away from marriage on the wedding night, broke with his father, and humiliated the Tianshan faction overnight.
originally wanted to form a good alliance with the innocent faction, but now Ling Qingyun escaped from the marriage, and almost became an enemy with the innocent faction.
It was still the head of the sect Ling Dong who came to the door to make amends, and the head of this unvain faction was vain and reluctantly calmed his anger.
On the grounds that the child was young and ignorant, his father decided to come to marry the baby daughter of the head of the innocent faction three years later, so he settled the dispute between the two factions that was almost caused by Ling Qingyun.
As the head of the Tianshan faction, Ling Dong felt that his son's education was really a failure.
This Ling Qingyun not only did not share his father's worries, glorify the Tianshan faction, slay demons and eliminate demons, but indulged in mountains and rivers, especially loved food, beautiful scenery and beauties, feasted and drank all day long, recited poems, and was absurd.
This is not enough, but also founded Lingyan Pavilion, the largest intelligence organization in the Six Realms, this is not to mention Lingyan Pavilion, when it comes to Lingyan Pavilion, this Ling Dong is even more angry, this little rabbit cub founded Lingyan Pavilion and does not do business, indeed in order to collect the food and beauty of the Six Realms, it is really angry that his father vomits blood.
Therefore, it was announced to the public that Ling Qingyun had nothing to do with the Tianshan faction, and he Ling Dong did not have such a rebel, as for the marriage with the Wuxuan faction in three years, let's talk about it then.
Ling Dong often lamented the misfortune of his family, gave birth to this rebel son, and was laughed at by the Six Realms. Who knows that this Mrs. Ling is very open-minded, and often comforts Ling Dong on the grounds that her son is small and playful, just when Ling Qingyun is older, she will naturally be sensible, and often comforts Ling Dong, don't worry too much, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.
