Chapter 1 You don't understand tea
"Young master, isn't tonight's tea to your liking?"
As a small entourage in General Lin's mansion, he was assigned to Lin Yege, one of the only two sons in General Lin's mansion.
Lin Yege's daily life in the past was all handled by him. He can be said to be familiar with this little boy's personality and hobbies to anyone else.
He looked at his young master holding the purple sand teacup, but he didn't drink the tea in the cup. That's why there is this question.
After all, this little boy is a hot tea and a cold tea.
The young man in front of the table had bright eyes, a smooth and fair face, revealing an angular cold handsomeness, his complexion was fair, and his facial features were delicate with a touch of handsomeness. But there was a kind of melancholy in his eyes that could not be dissolved.
"There was something vacant tonight. Lin Yege looked at the starry night sky and muttered to himself. A hint of loss flashed in Lin Yege's bright eyes, but it was extremely difficult to detect, and even Lin Sange, who was close at hand, didn't notice it.
He casually put down the priceless purple sand teacup in his hand and walked towards the courtyard gate.
Perverse, very perverse, absolutely perverse. The young master must drink a sip of tea every night, and he never goes out. Not only did I not drink tea tonight, but I had to go outside.
Lin Sange didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly followed Lin Yege, and at the same time opened the booklet that he had to bring with him. When he was halfway through, he remembered that tonight was the night when the little boy was besieged by three thousand kendo three years ago.
When it comes to the two sons of the Lin Mansion, everyone knew about it back then, and no one knew it. The eldest son, Lin Mingge, is proficient in the art of war, and his cultivation talent is also extremely high, and he has the demeanor of General Lin when he was young.
As for the little boy Lin Yege, he is a cultivator with talent and demons, and he is praised by the world. He had already reached the realm of Wujian before he was sixteen years old, and was known as the Three Swordsmen along with the other two demons.
The Enlightened Sword Realm is the first realm for cultivators to enter. The faster you advance in this realm, the greater your potential. This is a fact that has been affirmed by countless strong people.
But when the sixteen-year-old Lin Yege went to bury the sword tablet to choose the sword, he was attacked by the three thousand sword paths. His wicked name became a big joke.
Everyone knows that if you can't choose one of the three thousand kendo to practice, it is impossible to enter the awakening realm. In other words, Lin Yege could only wander in the Sword Realm in this life, unable to enter the next realm.
Walking on the bustling South Street, looking at the big red lanterns used for lighting on both sides, somehow, he always felt that the lights were too dim. He likes the light, but he doesn't like it to be so weak. I don't like it very much, I don't like it very much!
Before he knew it, he walked to the door of a quaint teahouse and looked up at its archway. Four bold black fonts are written with the words "understand tea and tea house". But in terms of scale, the store is a teahouse at best.
"I understand the tea and tea house, the tone is really big, I want to see how this store understands tea, and how can the museum be said to be a village. The corners of Lin Yege's mouth rose slightly, after three years, he finally found something interesting.
Stepping on the high solid wood threshold, I thought it was like a city. But there is only one middle-aged man in Tsing Yi drinking alone in the huge teahouse, and there is not even a single clerk.
I found a random table and sat down. Every table here has been wiped clean, and because it is made of black crystal, it has a very good reflection effect, and you can even see yourself on the surface.
An old man slowly shuffled from behind the bead curtain to the table where Lin Yege was sitting. He did not wait for him to object, and sat down.
Although the old man's forehead was covered with wrinkles like tree roots, his face was extremely ruddy. It doesn't look like an old man who has entered old age at all. The coarse linen clothes he wears can also show his extremely simple lifestyle.
The old man waved his sleeves out of thin air, and a set of tea sets made of pure white jade appeared on the table. The old man didn't look at Lin Yege from beginning to end, but just poured the tea set by himself. I don't know where he got the spring from, or how he used to make a pot of tea.
In short, everything seems to be like a miracle, like a dream and not a dream.
Watching the old man make tea, he frowned. It wasn't because he couldn't understand how the old man conjured these things out of thin air, but because he frowned at the way the old man made tea.
The old man poured a cup of tea into the white jade lotus-patterned teacup, and then did not make any more moves. The old man looked at Lin Yege with cloudy eyes.
"Young man, if you frown at such a young age, you will not live long. These were the first words that the old man said from beginning to end. But it is also the last thing Lin Yege wants to hear, he doesn't like others to talk about life and death.
"You don't understand tea, tea is not boiled like this. Lin Yege said slowly
Hahahaha, the old man laughed. laughed so much that even tears came out, I don't know if I was laughing at Lin Yege's ignorance, or thinking that someone would say that he didn't understand tea
Seeing that the old man was so crazy, he no longer cared about the old man and said: "First, you don't have a ruler, and if you don't remove the debris in the cup, it will affect the quality of the tea." Second, if you don't have a hot cup, if the temperature in the cup is not enough, you will inevitably have to absorb the heat of the tea, and the taste of the tea will also drop. Such a simple truth, the old man should understand. ”
The old man touched the stubble on his chin and replied, "What if this teacup is naturally pure, and what if this teacup can naturally absorb heat from the outside world on its own?"
"Impossible, there are only two sets of teacups in the world with such conditions, one is the Soul Burning Cloud Cup, which is in the hands of the Demon Emperor. One set is the Nine Dragons Cup, which is in the hands of the Emperor of People. He looked at the white jade cup in the old man's hand and shook his head firmly.
After listening to Lin Yege's words, the old man handed the teacup full of tea to Lin Yege.
Lin Yege subconsciously looked at the tea in the cup, but he couldn't move it away at a glance. His bright eyes shone with a scorching glow.
The tea soup is not clear and bright, but appears cloudy. By the standards of normal tea, this must be inferior tea, but there is a dragon roaring in it.
When you don't look at it, you can't hear any sound, and you can only hear the angry dragon roar if you look at it intently.
"This is the reverse dragon scale?" Lin Yege's voice trembled. This is the reverse dragon scale he has been wanting for three years but can't get it. As long as he drank this cup of reverse dragon scales, the nightmare that had haunted him for three years would be gone.
"What's the matter? In addition to being afraid of swords, the famous Lin family is even afraid of this cup of tea?" the old man looked at him with a smile on his face.
Something is wrong, why does this old man know that he is Lin Yege, and why does he know that the purpose of his obsession with the tea ceremony is to reverse the dragon scales. But whatever its purpose, he must drink this cup of tea.
Reverse dragon scales, a peerless treasure ranked fifteenth on the god tea list. It is said that this tea is not the leaves of a tree, but the reverse scales of an adult dragon, and it is baptized by time and nature, and gradually forms a state that resembles tea but not tea.
Rare in the world, after all, dragons have reverse scales, and they will be angry when they touch it. And how many people have the ability to touch their brows? It is estimated that only the human emperor, the demon king and the elf queen have this ability.
Lin Yege slowly calmed down the excitement in his heart and took a deep breath.
"Old man, I'm going to order this cup of tea, but I don't know what to exchange for this tea?" Lin Yege said respectfully to the old man.
This respect is not only a respect for his mysterious identity, but also a vigilance against it. He knew at a young age that in order to get something, he had to pay the same price for it.
The old man smiled but did not speak, and his withered fingers pointed first at the cup of tea, and then at Lin Yege.
Lin Yege pondered for a long moment, picked up the white jade teacup in his hand, put it to his mouth, and gently licked the tumbling strong tea in the cup with the tip of his tongue.
The strange thing is that there is white smoke and the water is still boiling, but the temperature is not high, just enough to reach the temperature that can be eaten.
Intense, unusually intense. The strong taste fills the entire mouth, and the taste buds not only become sensitive, but even a little numb quickly. If it weren't for his extreme familiarity with the dragon scales, he would have thought he was drinking a glass of spirits.
Lin Yege looked at the fading dragon shadow in the cup, and suddenly poured the tea in the cup into his mouth. As the tea took in, Lin Yege's fair face flushed strangely.
If you put him into the flames at this moment, it is estimated that he will not feel the heat, because the sweat droplets on his body are steamed into a white mist, and you can see how high the temperature is.
"Old man, can you give me a sword?" Lin Yege said with difficulty.
The old man still waved his sleeves, and an ordinary iron sword appeared in the old man's hand. The old man looked at him deeply, and then handed over the iron sword in his hand.
Three inches, two inches, one inch. Lin Yege's slender hand kept approaching. But when it was an inch away from the sword, his hand stopped, the fog cleared, and his face turned white.
The original upright facial features are constantly distorted. "No, don't come here. I don't learn swords, I don't learn swords, don't kill me. Lin Yege shouted hysterically.
The old man looked at him quietly, looking at Lin Yege, who was the opposite of his previous calm and calm.
He kept backing away, and it was only when he retreated to the door of the store that he gradually came to his senses.
"You lie to me, it can't be the reverse dragon scale, the reverse dragon scale is a divine tea that can make people overcome all fears, how can it be useless. Impossible!" How is it possible to ask three in a row, it is the old man who asks, the reverse dragon scale, and even more so himself.
The old man waved his hand gently, and Lin Yege's body was already outside the store.
"Bang. "The door is closed. But Lin Yege heard it clearly, and the old man finally said, "You don't understand tea." ”
