Chapter 5 Kendo in Tea
Ying Feiyang walked back to the table, the teapot happened to sound the sound of water, the tea brewed before had been boiled, the old man got up, took off the teapot, but directly poured the tea to the ground, and said, "I was distracted when I boiled this pot, come again." After that, he left his bitterness alone, stared at the fire with all his attention, and turned back into the image of an inconspicuous old man
Ying Feiyang was dumbfounded, and said, "This old man has such a high sword skill, how can he be so serious about being a tea doctor?"
Qing Ku said slowly: "It should be said that it is only so serious that you can have such a high level of sword skills." He asked Ying Feiyang again, "How do you feel?"
"Ling Xiao Sword Dao disciples, they are all extraordinary. Although Ying Feiyang didn't like Ren Jiuxiao, he also had to admire his cultivation.
"I mean you, your last move is uncontrollable and hurts someone, how do you feel now?"
Ying Feiyang was surprised at the same time as his hard eyesight, he frowned and said: "I can't say clearly, I feel that in the past few days of practice, the growth of true qi is far faster than in the past, and there is a sense of a thousand miles a day, but when fighting, you can't always sit and receive from the heart, often as soon as you do your best, your true qi is not controlled." ”
Qing Ku bowed his head and said: "Sure enough, your meridians are ...... Hu Bugui moved his hands and feet, and he used his true qi to broaden your meridians. ”
Ying Feiyang sighed, "Sounds good, no wonder I have made so much progress in practice these days." But as soon as he thought about it, he shouted again: "No, how can Hu Bugui be so kind." ”
Qing bitter shook his head and said: "Who knows what his idea is, but this is not a good intention, how fine is the structure of the human body's meridians, how can you move at will, although you have accelerated your entry, but the growth of the seedlings will inevitably cause the foundation to be unstable, if you think that you are picking up a cheap and impatient work, the future is small, and the sword is uncontrollable and the important person is injured." Speaking of this, a sad look flashed in Qingku's eyes.
Ying Feiyang recalled that when he was sparring with Xie Lingyan a few days ago, he had the feeling that he couldn't grasp the strength, but at that time, both sides did not do their best, and Ying Feiyang didn't care, and at this time he couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and said: "Hu Bugui is really vicious enough, so what should I do." ”
Qing Ku snorted and said: "So I want to take you back to Lingxiao Sword Dao, as the saying goes, illness is like a mountain, and illness is like a thread, although you are not a disease, but the truth is similar, if you want to get rid of the alien true qi hidden in your body, you have to use small cotton and soft skills to pull it out little by little, this requires a person who not only cultivates a deep skill, but also has a meticulous control of true qi, I just happened to know such a person in Lingxiao Sword Dao." ”
"Oh, the master has a wide network, I don't know which one?" asked Ying Feiyang.
"Xie girl, her master Shang Ying, you have to call her aunt when you meet, by the way, I think about it carefully, I feel that this woman is more difficult to deal with than going mad, or you better bear with it, the big deal is to die, and falling into the hands of this woman may be more uncomfortable than dying. Qing said bitterly, with a gloating smile.
As the two were talking, the old man came up with tea again, and the clear yellow tea was poured into the bowl, bringing out a burst of sweet fragrance, but after Ying Feiyang saw the old man's might, how could he dare to treat him as an ordinary shopkeeper, and hurriedly gave up his seat and hid behind the master, and the old man was not polite, and sat down opposite Qingku generously.
Qing Ku took a sip of tea and praised: "Good tea, it's really good, but I don't know when you started the tea shop?"
"Nope. I was just waiting for you here, but he came and asked me to serve the food, and your apprentice came and asked me to pour tea, and I did so. The old man was expressionless, and pointed at Liu Wentong, Liu Wentong turned pale with fright on the spot, and then pointed at Ying Feiyang, who immediately shrank his head behind the master. I secretly complained in my heart: "If I let you serve tea, you will serve tea, what about your master's posture?"
"What about the original store?" "I don't know, let's run away"
"Why is the old man's staff of the bitter bamboo here with you?" "He wanted to kill me, but he didn't. "The old man is full of martial arts at this time, and when he talks about something that has nothing to do with the sword, although he is not in words, he is always answered, he knows everything, and he is unexpectedly good to speak, and Ying Feiyang said again in his heart, "It's really not my fault that he is an ordinary shopkeeper!"
The old man spoke very concisely, and he didn't use the second word to answer with one word, and asked a lot before he sorted out the clue of the matter, it turned out that this tea shop was a necessary place to go to Lingxiao Kendo, but the original owner seemed to have left for refuge recently, and some scattered guy utensils were still left in the shop.
Qing bitterness has not yet arrived, but first met the old man of bitter bamboo, the old man of bitter bamboo was seriously injured, I wanted to eat human flesh and blood tonic, how do I know that I don't know Mount Tai, I actually shot at the old man, and as a result, I ended up in ashes, only the green bamboo cane with the weapon I carried was left, and it was picked up as a burning stick, and then Liu Wentong and Ying Feiyang came, and they couldn't see that the old man was not a mortal, only regarded him as a shopkeeper at will, and the old man really had no temper when he became a shopkeeper, until the disciples of the Spring and Autumn Sword Que drew their swords to him, only to show his unworldly edge......
"You came to wait for me just to make tea for me to drink?" asked Qing Ku again.
"The chaos in Shuzhong has nothing to do with you, I make tea to confirm whether you have the life to drink. When it comes to business, the old man is full of talent and has a bit of mastery.
Qingku's beard blows: "Ha, the agreed period has not yet arrived, how dare the poor Dao die first?"
The old man nodded in agreement: "People only die once, the opportunity is rare, if you die without helping to improve the world's swordsmanship, wouldn't you be in vain with an amazing karmic skill." ”
"Okay, Poor Dao knows that this body is precious, and he will not die lightly, you have waited, I have also drunk tea, do you still have anything to do?"
"None. The old man thought for a while, spit out a word, and got up and went straight to the north.
"Haha. Qingbitter chuckled twice, and said, "I said that you are a thousand miles to visit me, and I don't want you to just follow the way." Looking at the direction you're going, you're going to make up your mind?"
"Yes. The old man replied with a pause.
Qing sighed bitterly and said: "There are all kinds of conditions in the world, there are three thousand avenues, love, hatred, sorrow, joy, hatred, anger, anger, can all enter the sword, why should you give up, just like the tea you brewed before, give up other accessories, only tea and water, although you can see the true taste of tea, but this true taste, it is too bitter!"
"There are three thousand Tao, but there is only one way for me, heaven and earth, only the sword, the extreme, no thought, no seeking, sacrificing oneself to save the sword, only to see the true meaning of the sword, you just use tea as a metaphor, but I don't know that I make tea just to wait for your sword, and now I have arrived, the method of boiling tea, I have forgotten!"
After the old man finished speaking, he walked away, and without looking back, there was no figure in a blink of an eye.
"Vested fish, forget Sheng, there is really yours, then say, this tea has become a unique taste, destiny, don't stand stupidly, come and taste it." ”
But seeing that Ying Feiyang's eyes were confused, his mind was unkempt, and when he saw this, he also praised in his heart: "This kid is really good at understanding." ”
Hearing the call, Ying Feiyang asked, "Master, you just talked to the old man about kendo again, although I can tell it, I can't understand it." ”
Qing smiled bitterly: "If you don't understand, then let it go, that's my sword, his sword, but not your sword." ”
At this moment, Zhang Zhibin, who had been trembling on the side, also came to the table, and when he saw the hardships again, his eyes were very different, and he asked respectfully: "Senior, the one who is just that, is it ......?"
Qing Ku slowly poured the tea into the bowl, and the turquoise tea rippled his calm face, "Three thousand things are not moved, cultivate a sword that shocks the world, and proves the sword with martial arts, who else will there be, how lucky you are to be able to see the sword light that has been shining for a hundred years of martial arts!"
"Really...... It's really him, sure enough...... Sure enough, it was him. The three of them were shocked, their eyes lit up with surprise, and they couldn't speak smoothly, which made Li Wentong, who was a sword, tremble with excitement, and actually left two lines of tears down his cheeks.
The three of them suddenly knelt on the ground, bowed reverently in the direction where the old man disappeared, and said in unison: "Congratulations to the Sword God Divine Skill!"
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Sword God!Sword God!" Not far away, there was also a person chanting the name, but there was no half respect in his tone, but he was unwilling and provocative.
"It's just a sword god, does it scare you?" Ren Jiuxiao rubbed the broken sword in his hand, and the afterglow of the setting sun seeped through the gaps in the trees and sprinkled mottled shadows on the young man's energetic face, which actually looked like the young man's face was cloudy.
"When I asked for a sword, I said that I wanted to fight a thousand battles with the sword, reach the peak, and open a new chapter for the sword in this world.
Ren Jiuxiao sneered and said: "Although Ren Jiuxiao is not very old, he can wait for life and death, but I don't want to be equipped with a cringe-inducing sword like yours, which one makes you defeat yourself without a fight? Which one makes you turn your back on the enemy and seek the enemy? That makes you bend your edge?"
"--Which one made you sacrifice your life to save me?" Ren Jiuxiao stroked the broken sword, the more he stroked it, the heavier it became, and he didn't even notice it when he cut his palm, and let the blood water the sword body, ticking and dripping down the broken blade onto the blade of grass.
"Ten years! You even made a ten-year covenant for me! I really don't know how far you want to underestimate me?"
Ren Jiuxiao grinned, revealing his white teeth, and under the shadow of the tree, it was even more black and white. "In less than seven years, I will let the sword god bend his knees in front of you and wash away today's humiliation for you! And before that, since you are my sword, how can you decide your life and death, you are broken bones and souls, and you will give me another edge!"
Ren Jiuxiao stood up straight, the broken sword pointed straight into the distance, the blood-stained blade illuminated his eyes red, and there seemed to be a flash of crystal light in his eye sockets.
"Wait, wait for me to pull you down from the peak of the swordsman, sword god - Yuwen Feng!"
ps: When drinking tea, the martial arts Xianxia text pretends to be a sharp weapon, and there are often characters from the Qin and Han dynasties sitting and drinking together, but in fact, before the Middle and Tang Dynasty, drinking tea was not really popular, even if someone drank it, it was as in the text, holding tea leaves, boiling them together with ghee, jujubes, green onions, ginger, orange peel, mint, etc., so the tea that the sword god brewed for the first time in the text may be more in line with the taste of modern people.
The reason why I pulled this out and said it was not to show that I knew these historical cold knowledge, but to use the tea ceremony to discuss the way of the sword, and the monarchs laughed.
