Chapter 162: Drinking Tea
This temple called Yujing is similar to a courtyard, in front of which is the main hall, which is dedicated to the pure yang real people, and occasionally people who climb to the top of the mountain will enter the temple to worship and leave some incense money; At the back is the old Taoist priest's living place, with kitchen, bedroom, toilet, etc.
In the kitchen, there is a wood stove for cooking, a water tank for water, a fire shop used by Jiangzhou people, and a table for eight immortals to eat and entertain guests, just like an ordinary house.
The old Taoist priest led Zhang Ziyu and the three into the kitchen, asked them to sit down at the table of the Eight Immortals, and went to get a water scoop to scoop water into the pot, and then lit a fire in front of the stove to boil water.
If you say that you drink tea, you really drink tea.
Wen Lan didn't know what it was now, and after Yan Layer and Zhang Ziyu glanced at each other, they understood a little, but motioned for Zhang Ziyu to open their mouths to negotiate.
Zhang Ziyu responded secretly, a smile appeared on his face, and when he saw that the old Taoist priest really boiled water to make tea, he asked out loud: "Daoist friends live in the mountains, how does the daily water come from?" Troublesome, right? ”
"No ......" the old Taoist priest used dried pine needles in front of the stove to start the fire, the pine needles ignited, the light smoke curled, and a good smell of pine wood diffused in the room, he replied, "I made a well after watching, and the water was not much, just enough for my daily use." ”
Zhang Ziyu asked again: "What about the daily necessities, are they all bought by Taoist friends in the city under the mountain?" ”
"Smack!"
The old Taoist priest broke the dry firewood and stuffed it into the stove hole, and he smiled: "No. The government took good care of me because I was old and guarded this traditional cultural site. Every three to five days, some volunteer comrades sent me daily necessities. ”
…… This immortal cultivator was probably taken care of as a five-guarantee household.
"How old is Daoyou?" Zhang Ziyu said curiously.
The old Taoist priest sat on the small bench in front of the stove, looked at the flames in the hole of the stove, and fell into reminiscence.
He recalled: "My earliest memory is the memory when I was ignited by the pure yang real person. On that day, I happened to see the Qing army enter Yizhou, killing thousands of miles of red land and bleeding. I was so frightened that I hid in the mountains and practiced. Later, there were people under the mountain, saying that they had emigrated from other states. In this way, I should be more than three hundred or four hundred years old. ”
Huh?
Wen Lan blinked her eyes wide and looked at the old man in front of the stove, what was he talking about?
Is it because you are too old and have dementia?
And Zhang Ziyu and Yan Layer glanced at each other, and there was shock in their eyes.
A four-hundred-year-old Taoist priest? See the ancients of the Qing Dynasty with your own eyes?
And that's nothing!
On top of that, he said that he was enlightened by a pure yang real person......
It means that he has seen a pure yang real person; That is, he is quite possible, not human!
Because people generally don't say that they are enlightened.
Looking at this kind old Taoist priest, Zhang Ziyu asked: "Speaking of which, after being in the house for so long, I don't know what to call my senior brother!" ”
"Oh...... Rude faux pas! The old Taoist priest confessed, "Because I am a snake, the pure yang real person gave me the surname 'She', and then I am a black-eyed snake, so I gave the name 'Jinmei' and me." ”
As he spoke, he stood up solemnly and saluted with Zhang Ziyu, "Old Taoist She Jinmei, I have seen three Taoist friends. ”
Basilis!
Vinland is still in a state of ignorance, what is it?
And Yan Layer heard that it was a snake demon, and he was afraid in his heart, this was the first time he had encountered a monster, and he secretly made preparations.
It is Zhang Ziyu who is the calmest and well-informed.
First, what Lingshi Jian most often says is that people are divided into good people and bad people, and demons are divided into good demons and bad demons.
He has seen good monks and bad monks, good monsters and bad monsters. In particular, he had seen Yue Ruying, a cute rabbit spirit who worked hard in modern society.
Second, the old Taoist priest in front of him is kind and kind-eyed, frank in words and deeds, and his whole body is full of clear energy, not a demonic spirit, but a Taoist who practices and asks, and he really doesn't look like a bad person.
And at the moment, it seems that this old Taoist priest treated them so politely probably because he discovered the exercises of Yan Layer cultivation. "Pure Yang Real Man Sword Casting Guidance Method".
Third, this Taoist temple has some legends.
- Every Taoist temple and temple will have some strange legends.
In the last century, when encountering external humiliation, it was said that the pure yang sword immortal in this Taoist temple appeared and protected the safety of the people of Qingping. Now it seems that maybe it wasn't the Pure Yang Sword Immortal who appeared, but this snake friend who made a move.
Thinking about it, Zhang Ziyu also stood up and saluted: "Under Zhang Ziyu......" He saw Yan Layer and Wen Lan's appearance, and said, "This is my friend, Yan Layer and Wen Lan, I have seen She Daoyou!" ”
The old Taoist priest She Jinmei nodded with a smile, sat down, added firewood to the stove hole, and said, "I know you, you are the children of this Qingping."
"You used to come to Cuiping Mountain often, and I look familiar."
He pointed at Zhang Ziyu and said, "The little girl who often comes with you has good roots, and I had the idea of taking her as an apprentice at that time." But because my own Taoism is too shallow, I am afraid that it will delay her.
"How is she now? I see that you have all set foot in the door of cultivation, and I think she must have a fairy fate. ”
"Senior's discernment!" Zhang Ziyu said respectfully.
Regarding the title of the old Taoist priest, he has changed from a Taoist friend to a senior brother to a current senior, and we can see the change in his inner attitude towards the old Taoist priest.
"What kind of discernment?" The old Taoist priest shook his head and said, "It's self-aware. ”
The two said something that Wen Lan couldn't understand and Yan Layer felt scared, so the old Taoist priest She Jinmei boiled water, went to the cupboard to get tea sets, tea leaves, washed tea, and sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals.
Four people, each seated.
I don't know if it's because the environment here is not ordinary, or because the tea is really unusual, but the fragrance of tea rising after washing the tea makes Yan Layer feel refreshed and relaxed.
Smelling the fragrance of Qingya tea, the fear of the snake demon in his heart gradually faded, he looked at the amiable old Taoist priest opposite, and asked out loud: "Have the predecessors been practicing on this Cuiping Mountain?" ”
The old Taoist priest sat and made tea, looked at Yan Layer when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Yes." I've been on this Cuiping Mountain for hundreds of years. Because my qualifications are too poor, my understanding is not good, and I am stupid, I have to do some water grinding kung fu in this pure place. ”
Yan Layer smiled: "This is cultivation. ”
"It's a desperate move. The world is the world of the human race, and the exercises are the exercises of the human race. The old Taoist priest made tea, had a cup with each of the three of them, shook his head and said, "The demon clan can only practice the exercises of the human race when it transforms." And you can't get any good roots. Like me, even if I have been cultivating for hundreds of years, now I am only in the realm of qi extraction, and I have come to the end of my longevity.
He sighed, "You Terrans are so lucky. I don't know when the snake clan will have a peerless genius to create a practice that is specifically practiced by the snake clan. ”
"Yes." Yan Layer comforted.
"I've heard that the demon clan also had a glorious time, but it was destroyed in the blink of an eye. Because even if they are the same demon race, how can the snake demon, the rat demon, the dog demon, and the cat demon be the same race? Ordinary demons are not the same as divine beasts. So the demon race collapsed rapidly, and then the human race rose. The old Taoist priest said, motioning for the three of them to drink tea, "This is my own tea, you can try the taste." ”
Zhang Ziyu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and found that the mana in his body was stirring, and he immediately understood that this tea was not an ordinary tea, maybe it was a spiritual tea.
"What kind of exercises did the demon clan practice at that time?" He asked.
"Bloodline." The old Taoist priest replied, "A powerful demon beast will have natural supernatural powers, and its descendants, if the bloodline is pure enough, will inherit its innate supernatural powers." It is said that the early body refining method of the human race was created according to the supernatural powers of the demon race.
"The Terrans are a very creative race." He exclaimed again.
Zhang Ziyu took a sip of tea, felt the tea flowing in his mouth, and for a while the aroma was sweet, his lips and teeth were fragrant, and he swallowed his throat, and the sweet mountain spring water entered the stomach, and the soft aura spread out and integrated into the mechanism, running together with the mana in the meridians, and the cultivation actually increased slightly.
"The demon clan has dominated the world for millions of years, and the development of the exercise system is not as good as that of the human race for tens of thousands of years." The old Taoist priest sighed.
His words were full of helplessness, and Zhang Ziyu listened to the feeling of "mourning his misfortune and being angry with him" in Mr. Lu Xun's article, and he actually felt a relative.
So he said: "Mr. Lu Xun said that there is a light and a heat, do you think that the development of the demon clan's exercises is slow, why don't you start with yourself?" Create a cultivation system that is suitable for the snake clan. ”
"I'm too old." The old Taoist priest said, "It's too stupid." ”
Seeing Zhang Ziyu signaling himself to drink tea, Yan Layer picked up the teacup, first smelled the fragrance of tea, and then fluttered with the feeling of flying immortals.
His heart moved, and he drank the tea in the cup directly, and in an instant, the tea slid into his throat and spread out in his stomach, and the aura overflowed into the blood.
The "Pure Yang Real Man Sword Casting Guidance Method" turned with his mind, and the aura in the tea ran with the power of qi and blood in the meridians, and after running in the body for a great week, he returned to the dantian and turned into an energy different from the power of aura and qi and blood.
- Mana!
Yan Layer closed his eyes, and under the illumination of his dantian mana, he could see his dantian clearly.
He opened his eyes again and saw the aura wafting in the air, saw the peaceful aura around Zhang Ziyu, the clear aura of the old Taoist, and saw the extraordinary nature of this broken Taoist temple.
"I've built the foundation!" He couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart and said to Zhang Ziyu.
"Congratulations ......"
"This tea will have a better effect after brewing." The old Taoist priest said, "But the demon clan didn't know it for millions of years. If it is a demon clan, it must have chewed the tea directly. ”
Yan Layer stood up, bowed deeply to the old Taoist, and said, "Thank you, senior!" ”
"This is your chance." The old Taoist priest did not avoid it, but looked at him and said, "The things in this world have long been destined to ...... in the dark."
Vinlan didn't understand anything, she didn't know anything, she picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, only to feel that her exhaustion disappeared, and her whole body was much lighter.
"Dispelling diseases and eliminating disasters...... "the old Taoist priest said," may have a few more years of life. ”
Drinking a pot of tea in the Taoist temple, I told the old Taoist priest some interesting stories about the immortal world, and talked about some spiritual matters, and after drinking the tea, Zhang Ziyu and the three got up and said goodbye to the old Taoist.
Walking out of the Taoist temple and standing on the edge of the cliff, Yan Layer looked at the county town under the mountain that grew into a strip along the mountain, and sighed: "What an old fairy with fairy wind and bones!" ”
"Immortals? Who is it? Wen Lan on the side suddenly asked, "Is the old Taoist priest in the Taoist temple?" ”
Zhang Ziyu hurriedly looked at Wen Lan, only to see that Wen Lan's eyes were a little confused, and he asked, "You...... Remember what just happened? ”
"Just now?" Wen Lan replied, "Didn't you just go in and take a look at Lu Dongbin?" ”
"Where's the tea?"
"What tea?"
Zhang Ziyu and Yan Layer glanced at each other, and their hearts were relieved that Wenlan's memory was erased. No wonder this old Taoist priest has been practicing here for hundreds of years, and no one feels abnormal.
"Nothing." Zhang Ziyu replied, "Yan Layer just asked, why don't you sell green tea here?" ”
"Huh!" Wen Lan said, "Come up here, and still want to have a drink?" ”
"Drinks are more expensive......" Yan said.
The three of them said that they were no longer tired, so they packed up their mood and went down the mountain.
