Chapter Seventy-Four: Shui Danqing
Chapter Seventy-Four: Shui Danqing
Because of the moistening of tea for many years, and when she was young, Tan Qianqing's hands became more and more white and shiny, which caused those bold babies to widen their eyes......
Xizi was not present today because Tan Erye was not present, so he sang unscrupulously in the crowd: "The little hands are white and thin, comparable to tofu and bamboo shoots......"
Before he finished singing, he was slapped by the adult next to him. Someone was shouting: "The tea king is sacred, how can you be contemptuous?!"
It seems that Miss Tan Qianhao really has a lot of fans.
......
Tan Qianhao has been in love with this art since she was a child, and her eyes that do not enter the sand never put the turbidity of the world in her heart. Therefore, she was unaware of this singing, as if she was in the quiet and uninhabited realm of tea vapor.
Between heaven and earth, only the tea art is ...... with her
As the last tea king, Tan Qianqin was deeply loved by the old man Qingyun. The old man Qingyun is the fourth generation of the tea saint, and the oldest person in Dayanhe Village after Lao Leng, and this winter's Laba is about to celebrate his two hundredth birthday.
The old man Qingyun sat behind the two old pear wood long cases, and the most striking thing about him was his deep and bright eyes. Back then, when Tan Qianhao and Gugu were learning art under him, he only needed to glance at it to know who seemed to be attentive but was actually distracted, who was slow to enter the learning situation but could gradually get better, and who was overactive but had accidentally gone biased......
There are not a few tea kings he has cultivated, from the eldest tea king to the youngest Tan Qianqing, every disciple is a fresh touch of his "tea matter".
Following the old man Qingyun, the disciple touched the fish roe and was the only tea man who comprehended the true meaning of "Shui Danqing".
What especially gratified Qingyun is that Touch the fish roe applies the essence of tea technology to the treatment of all diseases, expanding a new situation.
Today, he is almost as old as the oldest old tea tree on the tea mountain on the south bank of Ganhua River, which is really impressive.
Thousands of kinds of tea in the West Mountain, all kinds of meaning...... From plants, leaf veins to clouds, ground fertilizer...... Qingyun has always treated tea with the specifications of "people" and raised tea with the preservation of "love". I really know everything about the "eternal tea affair".
Just as everyone was enjoying Tan Qianhao's pre-game "performance" with relish, Master Qingyun was staring intently at the road that stretched to the lower reaches of Ganhua Creek.
He's waiting. He was waiting for another person who was as important as Tan Qianhao to appear.
For five years since he touched the roe of fish to the east, the old man has been worried about a stunt that is about to be lost - "Shui Danqing".
The so-called "Shui Danqing", also known as "Tea Hundred Opera", is an ancient tea ceremony.
There is a poem that says: "Flying in space, the shadow of the cold river can change", which refers to the fact that the veins of the tea soup seem to have thousands of patterns, as if the real situation is in general.
Except for touching the roe of the fish, no disciple can master the skill of "water danqing".
Although Tan Qianqin is not thin, she is young after all, and she owes so much fire that she can't break through.
The reappearance of "Shui Danqing" in the world has become an unfulfilled wish that the old man Qingyun wanted to put but couldn't put down.
For today's tea battle, Tan Qianqian has long planned to take advantage of the aura and opportunity of tea fighting to pay equal attention to the kung fu of cultivation, and break through the situation of "Shui Danqing" in one fell swoop.
However, the old man Qingyun always seemed to feel that it was too early for her to make such a plan, and everything had to be done gradually.
......
The wind did not get stronger, but the light and shadow became stronger and stronger, shaking and confusing, forming some kind of unknown atmosphere......
After a long while, Baili Xi found the source of this faint light and shadow.
He noticed that the longest branch of the old locust tree was swaying gently, and the wind at this time should not be enough to make the branches shake
......
At this moment, Tan Qianqian had just performed "White Crane Bathing", and suddenly, she found that the crowd had become much quieter.
As the saying goes, there is poetry and books in the belly, and people are not vulgar when they have tea. Everyone's expressions were condensed, like a group of stone-carved statues, could it be that they were baptized by the civilization of Miss Tan Er's tea dance and got the education of the tea ceremony?
Following Master Qingyun's gaze, everyone turned their eyes to the side of the stream in unison, and they looked at the path on the bank of Ganhua River:
I saw that at the end of the path, two pigtails were upturned one by one.
Then, the head came out, and later, the floral cloth shirt on the upper body appeared.
Later, the little one appeared......
Goo walked in front with a jug in his arms, and followed behind with a basket on his back.
One is high and the other is low, as if it was born from the same root.
The pure light originally originated from this jug, and Baili Xi suddenly realized.
It was the "heavenly wine" in the jug that slammed in Shaoyi's arms, and the ripples of the water were turbulent, reflecting the clouds, and reflecting back, so that all the people became "baptized" people who bathed in light.
Early in the morning, they were busy fanning the cool breeze with lotus leaves, so as to ensure that the "heavenly wine" they had worked hard to pick up last night drank enough of the cool breeze and cooled the temperature to the satisfaction of Gugu.
After that, the two hurried to the scene of the tea fight.
"Points are deducted for being late. The people apparently recovered from the flickering of the "pure" light and began to talk about it.
Gu Gu walked lightly to the long table of the tea fight, politely saluted the four tea drinkers on the one side of the stage, and then bowed his hand to the people in the audience.
She did not explain the reason for her tardiness, so she entered the pre-tea overture - the "White Crane Bathing" ceremony in a grand manner.
This arrogant attitude really makes people feel that she should be deducted a point.
Gugu methodically cleaned his hands and cleaned his desk, and then sat down on a stool made of old pear tree roots and waited......
She closed her eyes, calmed her mind, and gradually settled down......
After a moment's pause, Goo slowly opened his eyes.
She untied a cloth strap from her shoulder, placed it on the case, and gently unfolded it.
I saw that in the long wooden case, on a clean white linen, a set of six pieces of extremely old porcelain was laid out.
In the audience, those spectators who didn't know the goods discussed: "What kind of tea set is this? It really can't be compared with the thin wood utensils of 'Tea King Tan'!"
Some people also said: "You see that usually, that Gu Gu cooks and dares to compare with the kitchen saint Wang Wu, and she is better than the red line girl, and she is also a quiet girl, but don't let her touch any weapons, I have seen her dancing with guns and sticks, and it is good to race the god of war woman." Doucha, this is Sven'er's work, she, can she do it......"
"Alas, you said it too soon!"
"Shhhh
Coo-coo was as focused as a child who had seen flowers and plants for the first time, her eyes widened, and she was engrossed in it, and with a wooden clip as old as a tea-pot, she gently pulled out a piece of hot charcoal from the charcoal basin that had been prepared.
As if offering incense, she held the wooden clamp in her left hand and gently sprinkled the water from the wooden spoon on the red charcoal block with her right hand.
With the sound of "stinging, stinging, stinging", and the process of the water turning into white vapor when it meets the heat, Goo Goo put down the utensils in her hand, and she folded her hands and stood on the side of the case.
It turned out that the coo had already used the yellow leaves on the treetops to swing, and had judged the direction of the wind, and then, calmly, she chose a direction to place the charcoal, and then the wind drove the clouds of white steam rising from the charcoal, so that it floated leisurely, and the white steam slowly and happened to float onto the porcelain......
This clear air lingers, and then, all of it melts into the cold jade-like porcelain.
The porcelain is warm and cold, and the white vapor mist washes the porcelain into extraordinarily white, translucent and clean, and then condenses into water droplets on the porcelain wall.
The breeze is not only ......
In the blink of an eye, the water droplets on the porcelain had dissipated without a trace.
So far, the "white crane bathing" ritual of Gugu borrows the ontology of fire, wind and porcelain...... It's done.
Everyone was very surprised by the practice of cleaning the whole set of tea sets without moving, and after seeing it, they couldn't help but turn their heads and ears.
Even the opponent who was waiting patiently on the side, Miss Tan Er, the king of tea, smiled and was noncommittal when she saw this scene.
When Gugu was carrying out the "White Crane Bathing" link, the old kettle with hot water buzzing inside somehow suddenly stopped, and at this moment, Gugu immediately captured the breath in the jug next to her senior sister Tan Qianqing, and the breath turned out to be the fragrance of spring water wafting up......
The coolness of this fragrance shocked the "heavenly wine" collected in the old kettle.
The water used by the senior sister has the coolness of the first spring at the source of Ganhua Creek, no wonder the "heavenly wine" she picks is because of the respect for her own deity, and consciously dies down......
The days are long, and the light and shadow are shifting.
The extremely slow-paced battle of "Tea Fight" is raging, completely ignoring the passage of time......
After the brief ritual of burning incense and thanking heaven and earth, on one side of the Sword Pavilion, the black shadows of several old locust trees were squeezed into long shadows due to the movement of the day, and the shadows of the trees were used to cover the long cases of Gugu and Tan Qianhao respectively.
The shadows of the trees are swaying, and the glass of water is clear......
Tea fighting has finally begun to get to the point......
Gu Gu and Tan Qianhao slowly took out their respective tea cones.
The tea cone has been placed on top of each of the two long tables, and is being gently opened by their respective owners......
In an instant, two completely different fragrances spread in the air.
The old man Qingyun's withered fingers stroked the already polished dragon's head crutch, his deep-set eyes tightly closed, and his nose moved slightly, as if he was concentrating on identifying the fragrance of tea in the air.
The old man Qingyun said in his heart: "Well, this elegant aura must be from the hands of disciple Tan Qianqing. This green link has always been Tan Qianqin's specialty. ”
At this time, the tea barrel was also opened, however, there was no fragrance like the tea offered by Tan Qianqing.
Delicately, from the grunt tea barrel, there was a very fine smell......
The smell, like a sigh or a smile, is a faint, slightly bitter fragrance of tea.
After this fragrance is emanated, the tail end of the lingering fragrance is inadvertently captured, and when you taste it carefully, there is a little bit of sweetness......
Tan Qianqing, who was preparing tea on the side, smelled the gentle tea breath rising from the tea barrel, and couldn't help but be moved: "Eliminate the eternal day!"
