Chapter 8: The Tea Ceremony, the Rite of Tea

Here, after leaving Yixiu, she had nothing to do, but she was used to this feeling, so she simply found a park to go in and set up tables and chairs, basking in the sun and tasting the fragrance of tea.

Nowadays, there are very few people in the park, the elderly are busy cultivating to prolong their lives, the middle-aged people are busy cultivating to support their families, and the young people are busy cultivating for a better future...... People are no longer human, in response to the sentence more than 2,000 years ago-

Zi said: Do you want to go? Yaoya, Yaoyao!

Sitting on the stone chair, she shook her head, raised her hand and picked up a cup of tea, not strong or faint fragrance, the temperature is hot, but as far as she knows, this is also a way to drink, called hot tea, literally, that is, after brewing the tea leaves while the temperature is not dissipated, drink into a small cup, and then drink it all, this drinking method was she came into contact with when she traveled in southern China before, and it was very famous in the local area, but later she knew that too high a temperature could induce oral cancer......

But would she care? Will she get cancer? Joke! Cancer...... Hehe, what an ancient memory, never dared to forget, it was a gray memory, even if it was never forgotten, but still couldn't recall that detail, like ...... Cognitive barriers, all she remembered, the blood-soaked cage, the smelly operating table, and the moldy bed......

But this is all off-topic, she doesn't need to and won't reverie this ethereal and unfamiliar memory now, she just wants to live the present, and at this time, she saw a sound not far away.

It was a group of monks, babbling about something, and if you listened carefully, you would hearβ€”

"Is this a modern park? I think the backyard of our house was like this back then, but I didn't expect people to be so depressed now? A backyard to share? ”

"You brainless! Can we compare with now, there are more people now, and the place where you live is very crowded, and you still want to have a back garden? ”

"To be honest, there's nothing fun about this park, it's like visiting your own backyard, but our few dirt houses have probably been razed to the ground a long time ago, right? Ay...... I want to ...... back then"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about such a nostalgic thing, I have been watching a Taoist friend drinking tea and watching the scenery, I don't know if it is an old man thousands of years ago, why don't I go to visit, if it is a senior, it can be regarded as a chance."

"That's great!"

……

Well? Want to come over?

She has very good ears and has been eavesdropping on them, but since they have all been discovered, don't dodge anymore, otherwise it will not lose the etiquette of my monks.

Soon, several Taoist friends over there walked over, and then each made a bow, and Wan Qi naturally got up and returned a bow: "Fellow Daoists, is there anything wrong?" I don't have good hospitality, only tea, I hope you will forgive me. ”

As he spoke, he took out some stone chairs, then motioned for the monks to sit down, took out some small teacups, poured tea for each monk one by one, and then naturally picked up the small teacup from him and took a sip.

Those monks, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say for a while, and then at the signal of one of them on the other side, they all drank the tea in the small teacup, and when they saw this, they immediately smiled, and then poured tea for everyone.

"Thousands of years ago, I thought you had forgotten the etiquette of the tea ceremony at that time......

"It turned out to be a senior, so naturally I didn't dare to forget it." Who are those monks, old monsters thousands of years ago, these people can't understand the world? In an instant, he understood that the status of Xuan Qi was not low, and it was still a very high one, and he immediately became respectful.

Wan Qi nodded: "So good, so good, let's say, what do you want to ask." ”

Tea ceremony etiquette thousands of years ago, whether it is a duel or a conversation, if the other party can calmly give both sides full of tea in the case of a tea set, it represents respect, and it is also a demonstration, the homophonic gap between the tea set is also telling the other party that there is a gap between the two, and in this case the other party will generally drink the tea to show respect, if it is a duel, this cup of tea gives the other party the opportunity to choose again, if it is a conversation, it is like a ritual, It is also for guests who come from afar to have a break......

But of course, there are exceptions, for example, before the battle of the deer, Chi You did not give Xuanyuan tea, but directly gave a pair of tea sets to Xuanyuan, this is just a simple demonstration, leaving no room for demonstration, after all, in terms of strength alone, Chi You is indeed superior, who would have expected that Xuanyuan This guy would find a Shennong to fight together......

However, Xuanyuan still accepted it at the beginning, and this tea set is still in the treasure pavilion of Renzong.

"Senior, we are from the Shu Land Sword Sect, and we have made a small breakthrough in cultivation recently, so we have traveled all over the world." A monk said respectfully, "Today, when I saw that my predecessor was here, I rashly came to visit and asked my predecessor to forgive me. ”

Wan Jue waved his hand: "What seniors are not seniors, I am not that old, what kind of punishment you said is even more unnecessary, I am in a good mood today, how about you accompany me to have a few drinks?" I'm this tea...... Hehehehe, ordinary people can't drink it if they want to......"

Those monks are very happy, and sure enough, when they meet people who are in a good mood, they all earn it, and if they are low, they can meet a Taoist friend, and if they are high, they will be given by the power! Earn without losing money!

"The seniors are so lenient, the juniors are not good to shirk more, this cup of tea, the juniors respect you!" As he spoke, the monks raised their hands and drank their tea.

She just smiled and didn't say anything, where is this in a hurry to respect her, it's obvious that she is in a hurry to drink tea...... However, her tea is indeed not ordinary, and it is of little use to her, but for those who have not drunk it, the biggest effect is that it can refine the spiritual soul, and for this heaven and earth, the treasures that nourish the spiritual soul are almost all peerless treasures.

Of course, the monks also felt it immediately, and immediately toasted the second and third cups...... Until it was time to toast the fourth cup, Xuan Qi raised his hand to stop the group of monks: "It's not stingy, but everything has a degree, the opportunity is up to the point, greed is useless, and then it turns into a demon of desire, endlessly, today's tea is like this, whether you want to drink it or not, you can decide for yourself." ”

The group of monks was obviously also stunned, and then looked at the tea in the cup, and did not know how many world wars had been fought, and finally under the leadership of the monk at the head, they all put down the teacup in their hands.

Hao Jue smiled and nodded: "Hehehehe, the son can be taught, the Shu Di Sword Sect will definitely not destroy the inheritance." ”

The monk at the head bowed and saluted: "Thank you for your teachings today, Kong has been used for a lifetime, in Xia Kong Qiuren, the fifth generation disciple of the Shu Di Sword Sect, the cultivation is a distraction period, the seniors have time to come to my Shu Di Sword Sect as a guest, and we will definitely take out the highest standard of hospitality to receive the seniors." ”

Wan Jue waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I'll go when I have time, after all, I'm an old acquaintance with your Sword Dust Ancestor, and I should go over to take care of his disciple." ”

"Seniors know our ancestors?" The monks were just about to leave, and they couldn't help but be startled when they heard this.

"Okay, okay, let's go, it's all in the past, that old thing should have already flown to the upper realm, right? Is...... The years are unforgiving...... I'm old too...... Wrong! I'm still young! Halfway through her speech, she suddenly interrupted herself, because she suddenly remembered that she had just undergone a reincarnation more than ten years ago, and now she is in her prime.

Looking at the blank expressions on the faces of those monks, Xuan Qi couldn't help but cover his face helplessly: "Okay, okay, if you don't go, I'll go." ”

With that, he disappeared in place, along with the tables, chairs, and tea sets.
