Lu Maoyun put the bamboo basket on his back on the ground, dusted off the water droplets on his body, and said: "Little ancestor, when will we go back, you are wandering around the north and south this day, if there is really a mistake, how can I explain when I go back?" He looked frightened, and looked respectful and a little complaining to the girl.

The girl said nonchalantly, "What are you anxious about?" My father is now locked up in prison by the emperor, and if I can't find the Buddha's bone relics, what's the use of going back. If you want to go back, you can go by yourself. Ye Suiyun and Tang Xiao glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubts in each other's eyes.

Lu Maoyun said worriedly: "Almost all the capable spies of Tiance Mansion have been dispatched, as long as there is a clue, they will be reported, don't make trouble, it is only right to go back with me." Speaking of this, he suddenly found that there were already people in the temple, and hurriedly stopped his mouth, looking at everyone with vigilant eyes. When his eyes swept over Tang Xiao, he blurted out, "Miss Tang? ”

Tang Xiaoqi said: "Who is Your Excellency?" ”

Lu Maoyun arched his hand and said: "Under Lu Maoyun, he is a partial general under General Leng of Tiance Mansion. I had a one-sided relationship with Miss Tang. "In fact, on the day when Ye Suiyun succeeded the leader of the beggar gang, both of them were on Jun Mountain. It's just that Lu Maoyun always followed Leng Xiaoxiao and was inconspicuous, so Tang Xiao had no impression of him. But Lu Maoyun remembered very clearly that it was this second lady of the Tang family who went on behalf of the Tang family that day.

Lu Maoyun beckoned the girl over again and said, "This girl's name is Leng Sisi, and like General Leng, she is the adopted daughter of Li Dashuai. Ye Suiyun immediately figured out what this girl said when she walked in, it turned out that she was Li Chengen's righteous daughter, Leng Xiaoxiao's sister.

Tang Xiao saw that both of them were also wet from the rain, and beckoned: "Sister Leng, come and sit here, warm and warm." Li Lu and the others also sat down around the fire, and Lu Maoyun said: "If it were someone else, I would never dare to introduce it so bluntly, you must know that there are too many opponents in Tiance Mansion." But there is no need to hide it in front of Miss Tang. ”

Tang Xiao pointed to Xiangyan's master and apprentice who also made an introduction, and added: "Master Jianzhen is silent when he cultivates, so we don't have to bother him." Leng Sisi listened curiously, and his eyes blinked and stared at Master Jianzhen.

Lu Maoyun gave a salute to Xiangyan, and when he saw Ye Suiyun with a black and gray face next to him, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "This is... ”

Tang Xiao couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh, he's my family." Ye Suiyun nodded at Lu Maoyun. Lu Maoyun was secretly surprised, but he didn't ask more, knowing that the Tang Sect in Shuzhong was mysterious and unpredictable, and the disciples in the sect wore iron covers on weekdays, and did not show their true faces. This person obviously meant the same thing, so don't talk too much.

Tang Xiao asked, "I heard Sister Leng say just now, she came to find the Buddha bone relic?" In the past few days on the road, Ye Suiyun has already told Tang Xiao the origin of the relics and the origin of the whole thing. Only then did she know that what Hu Tatar gave her was such a valuable thing. I also understood why Mo Yu's headache would disappear only when he was close to him.

Leng Sisi nodded vigorously and said: "The relics were lost, the emperor blamed his father, put his father in prison, and found the relics within a time limit, otherwise he would be punished for his crimes." My brother is already anxious for this to sleep. I can't help him, so I thought that instead of sitting at home and waiting, I might as well come out and find it, and calculate my strength. ”

Tang Xiao stretched out his thumb and praised: "Sister Leng doesn't let her eyebrows, she actually has the heroism of a man." ”

Lu Maoyun sighed helplessly, and continued: "After Sisi ran away from home, General Leng knew about it, but he couldn't be distracted to pay attention to it, so he had to send me to chase her back. It took me half a month to catch up with her. ”

Tang Xiao looked at Leng Sisi and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that even if you catch up with Sister Leng, she won't obediently go back to Tiance Mansion with you." Lu Maoyun nodded dejectedly, meaning that what you said was good.

Leng Sisi said proudly: "The relics have not been found, what's the use of going back, do you want me to watch my father being condemned?" Lu Maoyun could only sigh silently. Li Chengen is the pillar of Tiance Mansion, and his imprisonment is tantamount to a catastrophe for the entire Tiance.

I heard the temple door being pushed open again, and this time it was two men who came in, one old and one young dressed as scholars. Young in his twenties, with long slender eyes and dark skin. The older one is in his forties, with a mustache and a medium build. Ye Suiyun leaned into Tang Xiao's ear and said softly: "These two people's martial arts are not weak. Tang Xiao nodded, but he didn't pay too much attention.

When the young scholar saw everyone, he sighed and said, "Uncle Zhang, there are people here." The middle-aged scholar stepped forward and saluted: "It's raining heavily, and the two of us are here to take shelter, so it's no wonder to disturb you." ”

Lu Maoyun said: "We are all here to avoid the rain, nothing to disturb, please sit, please sit." After the old scholar thanked him, he sat down around the fire with the young scholar. As the number of people grew, there was a circle around the bonfire at this time.

The elder scholar said: "In the next Zhang Ruoxu." Another finger pointed at the young scholar and said, "This is the little nephew Lu Yu." I haven't asked you yet. ”

Lu Maoyun's face shook and said strangely: "Isn't it Mr. Zhang, one of the four sergeants of Wuzhong?" ”

Zhang Ruoxu smiled slightly: "Don't dare, it's just below." ”

Lu Maoyun hurriedly saluted and said: "Mr. Jiuyang's name, it turns out that the famous man of Changge Sect has arrived. Zhang Ruoxu also returned the salute, and he didn't even dare to say it. Ye Suiyun listened on the side, but he had never heard of this name.

Tang Xiao asked, "Dare to ask Mr., but I know the Changge Gate of the Villa." Zhang Ruoxu replied: "Exactly, the girl has also heard of Xiangzhi Villa?" Lu Maoyun patted his head and said first: "Blame me for forgetting to introduce, this girl is Miss Tang Xiao, the second daughter of Mr. Tanglao, the owner of Tangjiabao in Sichuan." ”

Zhang Ruoxu obviously heard of Tang Xiao's name, was a little surprised, and saluted: "It turned out to be the second girl Tang." I have long heard of the name of the 'Alluring Holy Hand', and the essence of the medical Tao is not lost to the master and grandson of the medicine king. It's a real pleasure to see you today. ”

Tang smiled back and smiled: "Thank you Mr. for the compliment, the little girl doesn't dare to be it." ”

Leng Sisi couldn't help but ask Lu Maoyun: "What are the places of Changge Gate and Tang Gate, why do they seem to be very famous, how does it compare with our Tiance Mansion?" In fact, Ye Suiyun also wanted to ask, but he was worried that talking too much would arouse Lu Maoyun's suspicions, so he kept silent, or lowered his voice even if he spoke.

Lu Maoyun hurriedly stopped: "Oh, little girl, you are too rude, Mo's nonsense, there is not only our Tiance family in this world." After saying that, he looked at everyone apologetically. Leng Sisi rolled his eyes, with a look of indifference.

Zhang Ruoxu and Tang Xiao both smiled, and Zhang Ruoxu said: "Those who don't know are not to blame." The little sister said well, Tiance Mansion has guarded the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, and the house is full of loyal and loyal people, who in the world does not respect it? Leng Sisi heard him say this, and smiled very proudly.

Lu Maoyun explained to Leng Sisi: "Our Central Plains Dynasty is in the middle of the world, and there are many heroes on the rivers and lakes, and there are many large and small forces. But among them, the leaders of the martial arts in the Central Plains who can really be relied on as pillars are the 'four families and six factions'. Although Ye Suiyun didn't have enough knowledge, he had an excellent memory, and immediately remembered Wei Qiwu, he once said that the six factions refer to Shaolin Temple, Tiance Mansion, Chunyang Palace, Qixiufang, Wanhua Valley and the Beggars.

Leng Sisi said: "I know the six factions, but I haven't heard of the four factions, is it Sister Tang's Tang family and Mr. Zhang's Changge Gate?" ”

Lu Maoyun nodded in approval, and said: "Yes, there is a rumor in the rivers and lakes that 'South Ye and North Willow, West Tang and East Yang' refer to the Ye family of Zangjian Villa, the Liu family of Badao Villa, and the other sentence is the Tang family of Tangjiabao, and the Yang family of Xiangzhi Villa." ”

The predecessor of Changgemen, Xiangzhi Villa, is located in Qiandao Lake, Zhejiang, which was founded by salt merchant Yang Zijing in the sixth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty. When it was first established, it met friends with literature and recruited students, and a large number of scribes came to vote. At that time, most of the poems in the villa were written, and calligraphy was the main one. Because there are many martial arts scholars among the guests of the villa, later under the joint creation and research of these martial artists, combined with the essence of the ancient books, they have created a set of unique martial arts, since then they have become a school of their own, known as the Changge Gate to the outside world. Because the decoration layout in the villa has been continuously improved by the outstanding people of the past dynasties, and finally becomes, the character is elegant, and the scenery is beautiful, so it is called the three elegant places of the Tang Dynasty together with Qixiufang and Wanhua Valley. Since Yang Zijing, after several generations, the current owner is named Yang Yizhi.

Zhang Ruoxu said: "Speaking of which, most of the people in the Changge Sect like to read and write, and they can't release the scroll, but they are willing to accompany the last seat in the martial arts." ”

Tang smiled: "Mr. is too modest, I heard my father say that although the Changge Sect is very literate and the number of people is not large, but every one of them is a figure who is both civil and military." It's so admirable to say. ”

Zhang Ruoxu was very happy when he heard her say this, and said: "Mr. Tang is ashamed of his mistakes." ”

Everyone chatted lively, but the young scholar Lu Yu didn't seem interested, he took out a copper rope from his backpack and put it on the fire. He took out another water bladder and poured the water into it. In the end, they took out a tea mill and tea cake respectively and began to grind them, and the whole process was always attentive and meticulous.

Leng Sisi became curious and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Lu Yu didn't look up, and replied, "Make tea." ”

Leng Siqi said: "When I was at home, I saw my father drinking tea, how can there be such trouble, you can drink it with hot water." ”

Lu Yu looked at it with pity, shook his head and said, "Destroying the heavens, wasting, wasting." ”

Ye Suiyun smiled at Tang and said, "When it comes to drinking tea, you are also an expert." "Just because I thought of the scene when Tang Xiao was in Octagonal Village, he was invited by Tie Rushan to taste tea.

Tang Xiao nodded and said, "Look at his utensils, but he is also a great expert." ”

Lu Yu finally raised his head and said with some surprise: "You also know tea?" ”

Tang smiled: "I know a little bit about it. ”

Leng Sisi cut his voice and said: "Tea is tea, what do you understand, you really love to talk and make a fool of yourself." ”

Lu Yu glanced at it and chuckled: "One way of tea, broad and deep." The Zen principles of life are all in it. If you want to make really good tea, you have to be careful at every step, you know? ”

Zhang Ruoxu stepped aside: "Ah Yu, don't be rude." He said to Lu Maoyun: "My little nephew is not good at reading, he doesn't like to learn martial arts, he prefers to be obsessed with tea, so he likes to study these herbal ways, so that you can laugh." ”

Tang Xiao praised: "The way of tea is casual and natural, Lu Gongzi loves tea, and he should be regarded as an elegant person." ”

Xiangyan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, also said: "Master Lu said that the Zen principles of life are all in it, and it is really good. In the Buddhist "Lengyan Sutra", it is said that the understanding of Buddhism is "like people drinking water, cold and warm self-knowledge, like people drinking tea, sweet and bitter self-knowledge". Among the four noble truths of the Buddha, 'suffering, gathering, extinguishing, and the way, with suffering as the head. We practitioners go to Zen meditation in order to achieve liberation from suffering. Tea is also bitter, bitter sweet, bitter to sweet, is and Zen to figure out, when it can be regarded as a cut 'Zen tea taste', the little monk was taught. ”

When Lu Yu heard what he said, he was very relieved, and said with a smile: "What the little master said is good, as the saying goes, 'A drink cleanses and sleeps, and the feelings are hearty and full of the world.'" Drink my mind again, and suddenly sprinkle light dust like rain. Three drinks will be the way, why bother to break the troubles. "The little master is enlightened in Zen, and he will definitely be successful in his practice, haha." Shohiko thanked him.

Leng Sisi heard that everyone praised the tea, and said unconvinced: "Okay, what do you say?" What makes a good tea? ”

Lu Yu kept in his hand and said: "The most important thing in drinking tea is to taste tea, taste water, watch fire, and debate four steps." In the way, it is divided into frying, hermitage, and boiling. The 'Xishan White Dew' I mill at the moment is picked from the rainy season, warm and fragrant like an orchid, but the cold is heavier, so it is best to cook it. ”

Leng Sisi said: "Listen to the name, this tea should be picked during the Bailu solar term." ”

Lu Yu smiled and said, "You are very smart, not bad at all." There is a lot of rain in white dew, so this tea is the most wonderful to cook with my 'unscented real water'. ”

Leng Sisi looked at the white gas gradually rising from the copper thread, and said, "The name of this water is so good. ”

Lu Yu said: "The key to making good tea is to fry water, and the key to decoction water is 'waiting for soup'." The soup has three boils, one boiling water is tender, and three boiling water is old, so the second boiling is the most appropriate. You see, now that there are fisheye bubbles in the water, that's the first boil. After saying that, he took out a small jar of salt and carefully sprinkled some into the thread.

Leng Siqi said: "It's not cooking, why do you still need to put salt?" ”

Lu Yu said: "Adding salt is more fragrant." Seeing the bubbles in the container at this time, he shouted, "It's now." After that, he took out a bowl of water with a bamboo spoon and put it aside, and then returned to the reels and kept stirring, gradually forming a water vortex. Lu Yu used tongs to pick up the freshly ground tea leaves and put them into the water vortex, continued to stir, and suddenly gave birth to a layer of tea foam.

Leng Sisi asked, "What are these black things?" ”

Lu Yu scooped out the foam with a bamboo spoon and poured it out, and said: "This water film is the outer skin of the tea leaves, which is formed by heat and staining, and the taste is not right, and it is not delicious." As he spoke, he poured back the water he had filled up, and the boiling water stopped boiling.

Lu Yu neatly arranged eight small sand bowls, poured the fragrant new tea into them one by one, and with the order of pouring the tea, he groaned in his mouth: "Xishan Bailu and snow, one bowl of throat kiss moist, two bowls of broken loneliness, three bowls of dry intestines, only five thousand volumes of words." Four bowls of light sweat, five bowls of clear muscles and bones, six bowls of fairies, seven bowls of can't eat, only two armpits are used to the breeze. Penglai Immortal, where is it, ask the common people for another bowl. ”

Although Ye Suiyun didn't understand, he almost couldn't help but praise it, not to mention the taste of tea, just watching Lu Yu in the process of boiling tea, he was quite enjoyable. Tang smiled and said: "Lu Gongzi is really an expert in tea, and the little sister is also willing to bow down." ”

Lu Maoyun said: "After being taught, I have seen Brother Lu's high skills, and I know that there is a saint in tea, and even I, a person who usually doesn't drink tea, can't help but taste a bowl." ”

Everyone was about to reach out to get the tea bowl, when they heard someone outside the door: "What kind of good tea, can you give it to our brothers?" The crowd sat around and looked at each other, and they heard the sound of boots, and with a squeak, the temple door was kicked open, and five people came in from outside, all dressed in robes, wearing straw hats, and with swords stuck in their waists. The first person turned his eyes around, fell on Leng Sisi and Tang Xiao and said: "My obedient, good Peugeot female doll, today we have a lot of luck in Fuhu Village, brothers are blessed." "The voice is the one who just spoke.

As soon as he spoke, except for Ye Tang and Jianzhen, the rest of the people changed color on their faces, knowing that they had encountered a bandit. The man turned his head to a broad-faced man beside him and said, "Brother Yu, you pick one first, and I'll come back for the rest of the brothers." ”

Brother Yu smiled: "What a fourth, but I lost you." He glanced at it, pointed at it and said coldly: "Just her." At this moment, a strange feeling flashed in Ye Suiyun's heart, but he didn't have time to think about it. Over there, Lu Maoyun and Leng Sisi drew their long swords at the same time.
