Chapter 101 Good Tea
Your ultimate goal is to embarrass Yaqing Temple, or do you want to mess with me?
Li Xian was uneasy, and when he saw the abbot Wulu, whose face was gloomy and uncertain, and his mood was not much better, he finally felt some comfort.
After introducing each other, Xiao Mobai continued to brew his tea as if he didn't know about Li Xian's grudge against Yuan Yi and Jack, completely ignoring the cold light in their eyes.
The action is generally very beautiful, a pot of tea is brewed, and after the pot is unveiled, the white mist soars into the sky, Xiao Mobai is sleeve and beard nodded with satisfaction.
There was a small one-foot square table in front of everyone's table, and nothing else could be put in, but a cup of tea was more than enough.
The accompanying beautiful palace maid poured a cup of tea for everyone present, but when it was the turn of Li Xian, who had no seat to sit in the field, the palace maid made a difficulty.
Yuan Yi and Jack both cast a gloating look, and Xiao Mobai patted his head when he saw it, and he didn't mean to give a seat to Li Xian, so with a wave of his big hand, he let the 'well-behaved' little Guizi next to Li Xian serve as a table.
Even if the emperor wanted his life on the spot, Xiao Guizi didn't dare to disobey, let alone just play a simple table. He didn't hesitate, and directly bowed in front of Li Xian.
Let's lie down, but what does it mean that the fart is facing himself? Li Xian doesn't have that kind of fetish.
Immediately, Li Xian was not polite. Kicked directly on Katsumiko's ass and asked him to change direction.
When waiting for the palace maid to pour tea for Li Xian, she deliberately asked her to pour some full, and then winked at Xiao Guizi, who was full of hatred in her eyes, and muttered in her mouth: "Men hate, hate, it's not a sin......"
Wulu, Xiao Mobai and Yuan Yi are all serving tea, feeling the aftertaste of the green tea soup rippling on the tip of the tongue, sometimes bitter and sometimes sweet, which is also a kind of enlightenment.
Princess Kashima Sakurako also seemed to appreciate it, but the trembling of her palm when she held the tea showed the impatience in her heart.
And for Jack, drinking tea makes no difference from drinking water. Like a cow drinking water, he took a sip of it without pretentiousness, and sighed with a burp: "Good tea." ”
Jack spoke in Central Plains, with a very strong accent, but barely able to understand it.
Kashima Sakurako saw the rules, and sighed: "Good tea!"
"Good water, good tea. Yuan Yi also said.
"The tea is good, the water is good. But is it better to make tea, water, or tea?"
Wulu was difficult to ride a tiger, but he didn't panic, thought about it for a while, and said indifferently with his hands folded: "Amitabha." Everything in the world has a spirit. Tea is good, and tea, water and tea making are inseparable, with complementary effects. ”
Xiao Mobai and Wulu's words are not a simple tea on the surface, but a dialogue full of Zen, all of which refer to something else.
And if we want to explain, we have to start with the current complex situation in the barbarian country.
First of all, I would like to state that the Barbarian Kingdom and the Central Plains Five Elements Kingdom will always be antagonistic on the Shenzhou Continent! No matter what kind of thoughts Xiao Mobai has, this is an indisputable fact.
In this tense situation between the Western Barbarians and the Five Elements Kingdom of the Central Plains, the royal family of the Barbarian Kingdom and the Five Elements Kingdom also felt the threat from the divine power, and was deeply afraid of it.
Xiao Mobai, the old emperor of the barbarian country, does not want Buddhism to infiltrate the court too much, and wants to centralize the power of the monarch, and there will be no dissent when a holy decree goes down!
And he didn't just think so, he did it. For example, the position of the crown prince who deposed the eldest son of the emperor who believed in Buddhism and replaced him with the second son of the emperor who was his favorite and had a relationship with Buddhism has mixed interests.
However, how can the laws that have been formed over thousands of years be so easy to change? The barbarian kingdom, from the court, the civil ministers, and generals to the common people, are all sincere followers of Buddhism.
Although nominally, as long as Xiao Mobai gives a holy decree, it is not allowed to be resisted by others, but as long as there is a slight inappropriateness in words and deeds, there will be ministers who will come out to resist.
For such a big thing as changing the prince, it is natural that someone is desperately recommending him, and the forces behind the scenes are wrestling with him......
Although the life, words and deeds of the Buddhist courtiers were deeply influenced by Buddhism. However, they are politicians, and they will have their own basis for judgment when discussing state affairs, and there will be no confusion.
This was the answer given to the emperor by the abbot of Yaqing Temple, Wulu, but Xiao Mobai didn't believe it. He always believed that the influence of Buddhism was greater than that of the royal family, and that it was not conducive to his rule.
Because he couldn't get along, he began to find unhappiness and tried his best to weaken the influence of Buddhism in the Western Barbarian Land.
So he went to find a spokesman for Taoism and a missionary from an exotic sect, with only one purpose, that is, to make Yaqing Monastery feel the crisis, and let those bald lamas know that the country could not work without the royal family, but Buddhism could still operate without it.
You have to eat the meal one bite at a time, and if you eat too quickly, you will make mistakes.
Xiao Mobai's current purpose is very simple, that is, to make Yaqing Temple take a step back, mobilize those courtiers who believe in Buddhism, let the emperor's eldest son step down, and the emperor's second son become the crown prince.
......
Tea represents the country and the people, water is the sect of faith, and the royal family is the brewing kung fu, which can make the tea good or bad, and always hold the initiative.
Xiao Mobai's pun represents this meaning, hoping that Buddhism can be self-aware and self-evident, and distinguish between priorities and priorities.
However, Wulu's answer was: Hello, I am good, everyone is good! Only when all forces are gathered together and complement each other can tea be called good tea!
Of course, such an answer could not satisfy Xiao Mobai, so he turned his gaze to the noble person he had specially invited.
"Tea is good, water is good! If you have to divide one superior, the brewing skill is the most important. Yuan, who had no eggs, was like a mirror, and immediately chose the answer that was in line with his own interests.
"Good tea!" said Jack, who knew nothing, repeating his comment again.
And Kashima Sakurako also noticed that the atmosphere in the field was different, and in order not to make a mistake, she immediately said, "Good tea!"
Xiao Mobai didn't care about the attitude of the exotic sect and Dongying, or ignored their answers at all, so he turned his gaze to Li Xian, who was teasing Xiao Guizi and making him happy.
Li Xiancha hasn't drunk it yet, it's all sprinkled on this weird little eunuch, and he doesn't understand their twists and turns. Just as he was about to say a vague 'good tea' to get by, a flash of lightning and thunder suddenly floated through the sky, which happened to help him out of the siege.
"The sky is round, and there are no rules. All year round, December repeats itself, and there is no delay.
Just like this tea, there must be no mistakes when brewing. Otherwise, whether it is tea or water, the taste is very different.
Therefore, the cycle of cause and effect of all things in the world is the most important rule. Yuan Yi looked at the scripture discussion hall where there were no rules to speak of, and squinted at Li Xian, who was enjoying himself, and said with a smile.
