Volume 1 Smoke and Rain Chapter 87 Xiaoting Drinks Tea and Thinks of Bitter Sweetness (Big Chapter)

The water in the circular shaft was much sweeter than the small wild chrysanthemum under the tree, and when the wind blew, it moved the soft grass and green shoots that grew beside the well. A small turtle, one inch long, with a round and wide black tortoise back carapace, and its back is like a ghost scratching a mark, and it comes out silently, and it is so stuffy that it can't breathe, and spit out a bubble.

On the stone table under the pavilion, there are three small red pottery teacups and a white-glazed painted bird teapot, which is smooth to the touch, and after drinking a cup, pour the wine sample and lift the pot to pour a cup. There were four small thin leaves underneath his mouth, smelling the fragrance, and the middle-aged man in the purple robe exhaled a mouthful of turbidity, obviously feeling the coolness in the tea.

Such an elegant, quiet little stone pavilion, he quietly felt a little comfortable in his heart.

Li Shuishan took the tea slowly and drank it all in one gulp, without dragging mud and water. Because there is still some pain in my heart, I can't suppress my skills, so I can enjoy tea slowly. This scene is a little too reckless, and it doesn't fit the atmosphere of the surrounding wild chrysanthemums and sassy wanderers. Naturally, there is something in the book that says:

Tao can calm the mind, and tea naturally cleanses human nature. There is bitterness and sweetness in tea, bitterness comes from the heart, and there is bitterness in sweetness. The suffering of no fate on the one side of life, the suffering of being nominated for a high list in life, the suffering of life, old age, sickness and death, and the suffering of life without knowing the homeland.

The bittersweet heart is the joy of life.

Li Shuishan, who can't drink the taste, has no bitterness in his heart, and he is not tasting tea.

Qianshan Daoist didn't go into details, after all, he was a visitor, and his eyes showed a fine smile.

Except for the half-immortals, there are few people from the mortal world who sit next to the monk and drink tea so happily, even if someone says a few words to him, he will be a little difficult to extricate himself, and control his palms to tremble, otherwise with an irretrievable vision and a shallow majesty, they will have a deliberate look of avoidance from their hearts, but seeing Li Shuishan so bold, his eyes do not have any discomfort.

He saw the concentrated tea, with withered black tea leaves precipitated underneath, floating impurities, and drank it all in one gulp.

The two looked at Li Shuishan, and Qianshan Daoist said: "You are really a little reckless, drinking tea is a word 'product'." If you are interested, you can take two more sips and feel the taste, you are direct enough, drink the tea into your stomach, and there is no waste at all. ”

The purple-robed middle-aged man smiled, a little surprised, "It's only been four days since I smelled Xiaoyou's breath, but I didn't expect Qianshan's seniors to be so familiar with him." ”

"When I saw Xiaoyou, I also remembered what I had done: when I was not cultivating, I drank tea with my friends, which was very casual. Ever since a Taoist led me through the door, picked up the talisman in his hand, and opened the fire eye, they fled from me far away. I invited them to eat and drink, and they did not hesitate to refuse me, and treated me with great respect! But when I see this little friend today, he is really the closest person I have ever seen to a half-immortal!"

Li Shuishan opened his eyes and said with a smile: "I am also a Taoist who introduced me to the beginning, but I am stupid and stupid, so I simply abandoned me and left." ”

Hearing this, the purple-robed middle-aged man smiled awkwardly and said, "It's really unfortunate! But the road of little friends must be bitter first and then sweet, and you don't have to be like me, you have tasted the sweetness and the bitterness is behind." I didn't expect Li Shuishan to have such a past, no wonder he came here, and then poured himself another glass.

The tea in the white-glazed teapot was poured halfway, and then it was poured without falling, and it was flat at a boundary.

The more you pour the tea, the lighter the taste, but Li Shuishan can't taste the bitterness and coolness of the tea, and said helplessly: "The tea is very delicious, delicate, touching the smooth spout, just like my half of a small bamboo pole hitting the ground, bang bang shocked my heart." It's just that all I drink is the taste of sweet water, and the more I drink, the more thirsty I get. ”

Li Shuishan praised the white-glazed teapot, and the sassy words of the tea came out of his mouth, so he understood the extraordinary state of mind of the Qianshuidao people. Ordinary people, still praying for a little food for the winter, saw locusts rushing in the sky, taking away their hope of survival. In the future, I will not kneel on the side of the street like this with a bowl with broken edges, waiting for people to come and go for alms.

There are few rich people and many rich people.

If your life is thin, you will die, and if your life is hard, you will survive the winter.

The word 'product' is not used much for the public, but some people who are quite in a mood, wearing tattered clothes, sitting in a corner, and spitting out a sentence in their mouths on a plate of copper coins on the counter: "A bowl of wine, a stack of peanuts." I saw a group of men sitting next to the table, pinching the old pottery bowl, picking it up, putting it down, and making a sound of wine. Let him take a sip of peanuts and take a sip of wine. I don't seem to feel distressed, I drank too much wine and had no taste, wasting these silver taels.

The same goes for wine tasting, of course.

The clothes are unsightly, and if you adapt to everything and see through people's hearts, it is inconvenient to worry about it and let it focus on other things.

The purple-robed middle-aged man laughed and said, "I didn't expect Xiaoyou to be so interesting!"

"You can't taste the bitter taste of tea, it's because you have traveled too little, you are still young, unlike our old fritters, one day you eat tea and eat the bitter taste, your experience is enough. ”

"Xiaoyou is not far from the people of the great realm of the world, and he can reach such a realm at a young age, and the future is limitless. Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, keep looking for the shortcomings in your heart, and make up for your shortcomings, you can take off and come to the country as a Taoist. ”

Hearing the purple-robed middle-aged man say this, Li Shuishan blushed a little.

It was a little late, so he got up and said to Li Shuishan: "Xiaoyou should go and sit with me if you have time." ”

"For this matter, I still have to explore it carefully, I'm afraid that I have fallen into the trap of the lord of hell, if I really cause so much trouble in the outside world, then I will have to pay it back. ”

Li Shuishan returned the salute with a smile and said elegantly: "Go when you have time." ”

Seeing the purple-robed middle-aged man leaving, Qianshuidao took the last sip of tea and said:

"The only apprentice of this Danding man is also a person with an unstable personality, but his talent is extraordinary. If he hadn't stepped into the Nameless City by chance, his spiritual power would have been exhausted, and he would still have died under the robbery of others. Obviously, you were a very lucky man who made it all the way to my house. ”

Li Shuishan said: "That's because I met Lai, maybe he helped me withstand most of the dangers." Otherwise, I will only have a very bad result. Li Shuishan didn't mention that the state of mind he had was also erratic, since he came to the nameless city, he kept thinking about the road in front of him, and he also broke off his thoughts about missing others.

When he returned to the seal, he saw the gradually forming Sun Palace, and he slapped it on his buttocks, no longer thinking about those shitty things. Qianshan Daoist pinched his beard, sorted out his dust, and muttered:

"I'll take you to meet Qiu Ji from Sun Moon Hall in a few days, are you willing?"

Li Shuishan sighed, thinking of his little kitten, he was always a little uncomfortable touching the fairy sword, and he was a little worried. Thinking of the old man who was drinking in Taiping Town, and thinking of Forrest Gump, they didn't know Li Shuishan anymore, so he broke his thoughts and replied, "Yes." ”

.....

The Qianshan Dao people who have experienced the crawling and rolling naturally understand the thoughts of this mortal boy, and one of the main reasons why he has been unable to enter the next realm is that his mood is uneven, and he cannot do one of the things with one mind.

This thing is the state of mind.

Although the heart is successful, then some of them wear out their fighting spirit, appear to be lacking in stamina, sometimes miss the good things of time, and more will form a kind of laziness. It was in the Nameless City that he couldn't step out of the feeling, so he waited for the ghost mansion for a long time.

He often sits in the Xieyang Hall and looks at the gray sky in the distance, and from time to time drinks a few sips of small wine made by the maidservant girl with her own methods, which is not as good as the time-honored wine that Li Shuishan drinks, and he can't find a veteran of winemaking here, even if it is to satisfy a little selfish desire in his heart.

Wine is not wine, people are still people.

At first glance, there were only a few thousand people in the nameless city, and a large part of the monks who came here were looking for a kind of treasure, and they were fooled in by the old ancestor tree who was full of clichΓ©s, only to find that it was a closed small city. Nothing good to drink or eat. What is quite beneficial is that the monk pursued the extreme realm, and forced himself to spit out not a single piece of white water, leaving only a useful physique.

Wait for the time when the sun hall is formed.

Qianshan Taoist pinched the floating dust in his hand, shook off the surrounding aura, drifted away with the lamp, fell on the Xieyang Palace, looked like a brilliant night, the sky actually rained lightly, dripping on Li Shuishan's body, touching the rain is so turbid, there is some smell of sawdust, and the yellow water is also particularly cherished.

The ghosts under the ghost mansion all pulled the dirt on the ground, stretched out their dry palms, and slowly revealed their solid black hair, and the smell of rotting bones filled their nostrils. Their hollow eyes can clearly see the slightest fire in them, and they will not be extinguished in the rain. Gradually, he found a place where the rain was a little heavier and sat down, leaning his head up.

The small flames were hiding behind Li Shuishan, unable to withstand the rain, so they hid under the eaves.

It is said that the rain turns into shape, which is a wonderful scene.

The dust in the hands of the Qianshan Dao people was shaken, and the rain here reached the Yin Soul, looking at the usual swinging movements, he nodded and said happily:

"Maybe thanks to you, this dead wood rain has not fallen for more than ten years, and it will fall today. ”

"This is a good tonic that is unique in ten thousand, but it tastes a little bitter and evil. It's just that the bitter rain hasn't reached the point of cold water tea, and it's not intriguing enough. The evil one is like a handful of small snowflakes upside down, snow in June, so that you can taste what is called the feeling of grievance. ”

Li Shuishan knew this story and said in detail: "June snow, where will it fall here." I just think there's something evil about those purple gases, and it makes people feel a little tired. Every time you inhale it in your nose, it will be extremely uncomfortable and irritating. ”

"Snow and water turn into shape, just a little means of the old ancestral tree. If nothing happens these days, you'll see something different. ”

"Rain is a feature of spring, summer and autumn, and you will never know if it has passed or not survived winter when you see it. Just look at the gray and white sky, what can you see? You will get more and more confused, and gradually lose yourself. ”

"Looking at the sky and seeing the earth, I will touch my little chest and carefully ask myself if I am ashamed of others, when I was a child, I still have the idea of changing my mind, look at the stars, see the rain, and look at the playmates running around. At this time, I can't see it, only a small wish remains. I was very happy to see a rain, so I don't want to ruin this good mood. ”

Li Shuishan nodded, and silently looked back at the yin ghost a few times.

After a few days of rainfall, the whole land was moist, and the clothes were sticky, so Li Shuishan found a small place to pick up well water from the well water, the temperature was very low, and he was startled when he touched his fingers.

The little turtle twisted its little head and looked at Li Shuishan's shocked face.

The maidservant who was waiting behind her brought the gray Taoist robe of the Qianshan Daoist, and a small curved tree strip, divided into several pieces, urging Li Shuishan to go first, and they would do it.

Li Shuishan had no choice but to obey his orders.

There is a place where Qianshan Taoist people take a bath in the ghost house, and there is a sign in front of the door, called 'Little Water Pavilion'. At a glance, I saw that there was quite a bit of Yaxing inside, three big-headed fish, glazed texture, wandering in it. The faint trace of incense burner was lit by this infiltrating maid with a small bamboo fire, and the smoke was burned, and there was a hint of permeating the spleen.

The small pond built by the bluestone base, one left and one right, unclear on both sides and three waters, from time to time to see the shoulders and head sinking, I saw only the wooden beam above the head, the green wood above, and a small wooden fishing rod below, which was pulled up and landed in the air and slowly shaken, and the hook was hung with unknown meat.

Li Shuishan looked at these handmaidens and felt a little timid in his heart.

He waved his hand and thought about coming himself, but the few people still stood there unnoticed.

After he stepped into the curtain, he pulled it, took off the clothes on his body, and gradually stepped into the water, after hearing the sound of Li Shuishan entering the water, they all stood aside with their clothes in their hands, although the inner essence was bones, it looked extremely uncomfortable. The water temperature is not cold, there is a boiler on top of it, although Li Shuishan does not know, as the temperature gradually rises, his face is ruddy.

It's like a hibiscus out of the water, stuffed with flowers.

Li Shuishan said, "Hot." ”

Several of the maidservants stopped adding firewood.

After waiting for less than half an hour, the water temperature was extremely cold, Li Shuishan sighed and said, "It's cold so fast." ”

A few handmaidens added a lot of firewood.

Li Shuishan is like a dish in a pot. When I was bored, a small bamboo pole was rowed from behind, and the bait had been hung up, and I threw it in a small pond, which was not wide or big, but three feet deep, and the head of the three fish spit out small blisters for ventilation. Seeing that the fish don't eat the bait, Li Shuishan doesn't blame, "The water is not deep enough, and it is so thorough, the fish can see me, the person who throws the rod." It is said that fishing does not allow bait, as long as the mind is enough, you can let the fish go ashore with one hand......"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a thud, and the fish bitten.

Li Shuishan scratched his hair and muttered, "The fish is so stupid, shouldn't it!"

After taking a bath and changing into a gray Taoist robe that was still a little fat, the refreshing breath suddenly entered his heart, making him take a deep breath and see the Qianshan Dao people coming. The maidservant took the clothes she had just changed and went to the well.

Qianshan Daoist looked at Li Shuishan with great satisfaction and said, "Are you still stuffy?"

Li Shuishan shook his head and said with a smile: "I haven't had it for a long time, I've waited so long, this rain has been falling for so long, I want to meet Mr. Sun Moon Hall Church, who is extremely respected by my predecessors." ”

The Qianshan Daoist did not refuse, and nodded.

Accompanied him to the stone pavilion, sat on it for only half an hour, and saw that the fish that had bitten the hook just now was brought up, revealing the umami, and a cup was taken out by him, and a few maidservants put down the dishes in their hands, as well as the small stone drum that jingled, and beat it, making Li Shuishan's head a black line.

"Senior, it's better to eat quietly. ”

Qianshan Daoren sighed, and said with bad intentions: "I thought you liked this feeling, and there was a hint of deliberate drumming in addition to the quiet, which greatly increased people's desire to eat." I don't know my own nature, and I also know that the rich mortals, and the people without money, their preferences are to listen to this beautiful music, and to sleep with beautiful women. Don't you like it?"

Li Shui replied affirmatively: "I don't like it." ”

"Qianshan senior, I know. If I don't have enough heart, I'll get here. If I need it, I will say it. ”

"These temptations are not the existence that I should be contaminated with, and I believe that my predecessors don't like them, and they don't have to be so considerate of me. ”

Li Shuishan knew that the people of Qianshan Dao were testing him again, to see if he was really as greedy as he was when he first met, and whether he lived according to his heart.

After the embarrassed laughter, Qianshan Daoist waved his hand and stopped the stone drum, he already had a certain number in his heart.

He took down the wine jug in the hand of the maid who was still pouring wine, Li Shuishan liked this quiet feeling, and smiled: "These maidservants have a full human complexion, if I can't see the bones inside, I would think a living woman is here." ”

"Oh?"

"It's just a thing left by a generation of ghost kings, which contains three mystical arts, which can lock their bodies and bones to absorb yin qi, enrich the bone marrow, and the wind and rain will not fade. They are monks themselves, with the ability of immortal divine sense, and they are wise enough to be locked by the Yin Qi of the Ghost King, and they cannot see the sun and the moon, nor can they see the years. It sounds a little cruel, but it's far more than they kill. ”

"These people are indelible ruthless people, looking weak, and their love and hatred are comparable to the heart of a saint of time. There are more than twenty in total, and the ghost king of the previous generation has collected half, sixteen. Extracted the evil qi accumulated in their bodies, integrated into the body of the Yin Ghost, and some of the energy was swallowed by the Soul Attracting Bell, which was all a top-grade tonic. ”

Li Shuishan's heart trembled, and he was still a little embarrassed in his heart when he used the evil aura of killing people to kill people, and he was still a little embarrassed in his heart. The rivalry between monks is obviously much more than that of mortals, and it is also more direct. If they go to the mortal world, they start with a flying fire and drop a killing intent, then they can pay it back? Just go down casually, and crush a person to death is as easy as crushing an ant.

It's just that ordinary monks don't go to the mortal world to do bad things, and there is no shortage of righteous people in the world.

Waiting for the day to pass in a blink of an eye, he felt uncomfortable.

This bitter and sweet taste, he hopes to taste it all one day.

Drinking tea, the first sip is bitter, the second sip is astringent, and the third sip is sweet. Aftertaste, fragrant.

But he was different.

.....

I had a headache today, and now I'm writing it out.
