Chapter 962: Eight Bitter Tea
Walking into the backyard, the first thing that catches your eye is a towering locust tree.
This locust tree can be said to be very huge, so big that it is terrifying.
Because, the locust tree has been called a ghost tree since ancient times, and the locust tree is the easiest to attract ghosts.
It is said that its roots often penetrate the coffin to grow, if you bury a person's grave and can't find the exact location to find the elm tree, within one meter from it must be the grave, very scientific, the elm tree can give birth to fungus, the fungus is also called the ghost ear, the ancient cult used it to seduce the soul to raise the dead into zombies, so, the living rarely approach the locust tree. The locust tree is a ghost in the wood. Yin Qi is extremely heavy.
And in a temple like Lanruo Temple, there is such a huge locust tree, looking at its appearance, the growth rings will definitely not be less than thousands of years. It's already incredible.
Any ancient wood, up to a thousand years, will definitely become refined.
There is such a locust tree planted in a temple, and I have to say that this is a very strange thing.
But the strangest thing is that under this big locust tree, there is actually a Buddhist hall.
This Buddha hall is said to be a Buddha hall, but in fact, it is not splendid, it can only be regarded as simple. Compared with Lanruo Temple, it seems a little out of place.
Not even a door.
From the outside, you can see the scene inside at a glance.
It is said that it is a Buddhist hall, but it is better to say that it is a pavilion.
Surprisingly, an old monk with two white eyebrows was sitting upright in front of the table. Cai Yan's three daughters are also sitting in it at the moment.
Almost the moment he stepped into the backyard, Yi Tianxing saw this scene.
Seeing the figure of the third girl, after feeling that the breath had not changed at all, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in my heart.
"I'd like to see what the hell is going on. ”
Yi Tianxing was sure in his heart, and then walked towards the Buddha Hall.
After a short time, he had come to the front of the Buddha hall.
Walk up, cross the threshold, and enter the Buddha hall.
It seems that there are no walls in this temple. But at the moment of stepping into the Buddha hall, it is obvious that the sound is faint, the incense curtain is lingering, and in the position close to the big locust tree, there is a Buddha statue, the Buddha statue, it is a Buddha statue without a face, and I can't see what kind of Buddha this Buddha is. And a beautiful lotus flower, falling in front of the Buddha, shows a fresh and elegant state.
"Husband, you're here. ”
Cai Yan saw it, got up and said. There was also a hint of relaxation in his eyes. It seems that the heart of the lifting is also naturally put down.
Before, they originally planned to leave the Buddhist hall with Yi Tianxing, but they didn't expect that after Yi Tianxing just left, when they stepped out, they appeared outside the temple strangely, and what they saw was Si Ruolan. Moreover, the temple has completely changed, there are monks in it, and they are still chanting, as if it is a temple with great incense.
At this point, they can't help but be shocked and vigilant.
However, after walking in, he was not attacked, but was led here. saw the host, but, when he saw the host, the other party didn't speak, but was quietly looking at the table.
You can see that on the table, there is a charcoal stove, and on the stove, there is a kettle, and the water in the kettle is boiling little by little.
"Master Yi, please be seated!!"
Zen Master Fazheng glanced at Yi Tianxing, stretched out his hand and pointed to the opposite side and said.
Yi Tianxing did not refuse. Immediately sit upright.
"You are the presiding officer of this Lanruo Temple. ”
Yi Tianxing said slowly.
"It's the poor monk. ”
Fa Zheng nodded and said.
"Why did you bring my wife here, today, if you don't give me an explanation, don't blame this king for letting you Lanruo Temple, completely wiped out. ”
Yi Tianxing said with a sneer, revealing the anger in his heart without tactfully.
Cai Yan and them are the scales in his heart, and if he touches them, he is provoking him. Without a satisfactory explanation, everything here will be completely wiped out by him.
Never anymore.
"Don't worry, wait until you finish tasting this pot of tea. When the time comes, naturally, if there is a question, the poor monk will answer it for the benefactor. ”
Fa Zheng still said indifferently.
"Tea, monk, you have leisure. Yi Tianxing said with a smile.
"No, Buddha is the sublimation of tea, and tea is the Zen heart of Buddha. The heart is the Buddha, and the tea is the heart, then the tea is the Buddha. Qingdeng Ancient Temple, Buddhism is boundless. The tea is as clear as dew, the heart is as clean as a Buddha, and the Buddha is also tea. Tasting tea is also participating in Zen. ”
Zen Master Fazheng said with a smile.
"A good Buddha is tea, and tea is a Buddha. Monk, what kind of tea are you brewing? ”
A different color flashed in Yi Tianxing's eyes. Then he asked.
"This is the unique Buddha tea of my Lanruo Temple, called Eight Bitter Tea. ”
Fa Zheng said slowly.
"Eight bitter tea, eight hardships in life, life suffering, old suffering, sickness, death, love and parting suffering, resentment will be bitter, asking for bitterness, and five yin blazing bitterness. These eight bitter teas must have come from this. ”
Yi Tianxing's heart turned and said slowly.
The eight sufferings of life are the most popular saying in Buddhism. believes that in the world, to live is to go through all kinds of suffering. The eight sufferings of life are like hell, only Buddhism is pure, and it is the Pure Land of Bliss. There is no suffering.
Many people abandoned their wives and children, shaved their hair directly and became monks, entered Buddhism, and became monks, so that Buddhism could flourish.
"Yes, the sages of my Lanruo Temple even used tea seeds, which did not sprout for many years, so I went to the world to search for ways to make tea grow. Traveling all over the world, collecting eight kinds of bitter tears in the world, born bitter, old bitter, this kind of tears is full of magical power, the sages after ten years, only to collect enough bitter tears, with bitter tears as water, replant tea seeds. This time, the tea seed began to take root. Grow into seedlings, continue to water with bitter tears, and only reach adulthood for a hundred years, and can be picked. Its tea leaves contain unique powers. In the tea, you can feel the bitterness of the eight bitters of life. But the aftertaste is endless. ”
Fazheng Zen Master said.
The birth of these eight bitter tea trees is not easy, and it can be said that it is the treasure of a large town temple of Lanruo Temple. Moreover, the yield is not high, and the amount of tea that can be picked every year is very rare, and at most, it is only one catty. You can imagine how precious it is. Usually, there are only a few people such as the host who can taste it.
It's easy to see at all.
"Hmph, what life suffers eight times, and you are born to suffer. You Buddhists are such empty words, don't you hear that in life, there are sufferings and tears, joys and sorrows. If the world is really full of suffering, how can the human race reproduce until now and develop a brilliant civilization, and your Buddhism is just a group of liars. ”
When Ying Yue heard it, she let out a cold snort unceremoniously.
What are the eight hardships, do you still want to fool your husband into becoming a monk. It's just that it should be cut with a thousand knives, and it should be directly chopped and fed to the dogs.
When Fa Zheng heard it, he was not angry.
Seeing that the water has begun to boil, he took out a teapot and held the teapot in front of him in his hand.
If you look closely, there is a jar full of tea leaves.
It's just that this tea is very strange, it looks like a relic, and the whole body is shining. It is like the light of a relic.
These eight bitter teas are also refined by the secret method of Buddhism, so the appearance also shows the appearance of relics. It looks very strange.
Took out a few grains from it and put them in the teapot, Yi Tianxing glanced at them, there were eight grains in total, one grain was not much, and one grain was not less. It can be said that it is just right.
The boiling water was poured into it, and suddenly, you could see that the tea leaves were constantly swirling, blooming with light.
"Eight bitter tea must be put into eight grains in order to taste the charm, and one grain can not be more, one grain can not be less, more is too much, less is not enough charm. This water is the ambergris water dripping from the Vajra descending dragon wood. Brewing eight bitter tea is one of the most suitable spiritual waters. After brewing, wait eight breaths before you can start pouring out,"
Fa Zheng said while brewing.
This method of making tea is that you can't make a mistake in one step, once there is a mistake, the brewed tea will become imperfect, and the charm will be missing. But when he did it, he was smooth, and his gestures were all with a kind of Zen.
Wait eight breaths later.
picked up the teapot and poured a cup into the teacup in front of Yi Tianxing and Cai Yan.
When the tea came out, there was no glow, no other visions, not even aroma, and the color of the soup was transparent, no color at all, which can be said to be very peculiar. It looks like it's just a cup of boiled water, which is completely different from the millilight emitted by the tea leaves before.
"Four donors, please taste tea!!"
Fa Zheng smiled and gestured to Yi Tianxing and the others.
"Okay, I'll taste the mystery of this Buddha's eight bitter tea. ”
When Yi Tianxing saw the tea, he had already directly explored it with his innate yin and yang eyes, and he had also explored it with the wordless book of heaven, and all he saw was ordinary tea, which was eight bitter tea, and there were no toxins or anything like that.
How. You still need to taste it before you know.
Pinch up the teacup.
After signaling to Cai Yan's three daughters, he slowly put it to his mouth and drank it in his mouth.
Didn't swallow it right away.
Instead, the tea is swirling back and forth on the tip of the tongue, so that you can more fully appreciate the unique taste of the tea. Otherwise, swallow it directly, what is the difference between it and a cow chewing peonies.
Tyrannical creatures are general.
Although tea is not much different from boiled water to some extent, one is tasting and the other is drinking.
At the moment when I drank it.
Suddenly, Yi Tianxing felt that his whole mind was suddenly pulled into some kind of picture.
It's as if I've suddenly become a baby.
Moreover, it is a baby whose mother has died of dystocia just after birth. A baby has just been born without a mother, without a warm embrace to shelter from the wind and rain.
Bitter Bitter!!
It's really miserable, it's born to be bitter.
That feeling, deep into the soul, the future seems to be bleak.
