Chapter Ninety-One: Forming an Alliance (Three Watches)
"Alas, Senior Brother Fang Yuan, that's not how tea is drunk!"
Hearing the laughter coming from around, Xiao Qiao's junior sister also blushed a little, and hurriedly came behind Fang Yuan, and whispered: "In the immortal banquet, drinking tea follows the ancient rites, and the stone is carved with a ghostly stone, which is to thank the ancient immortals for opening up the world, and the ghostly stone is originally transformed by the skull of the ancient immortals in the legend......;
After listening to Xiao Qiao's explanation, Fang Yuan finally knew why Liu Mozhen was laughing.
But his face did not change, he still drank a cup of tea slowly, and the angry little Qiao stomped her feet.
And the group of people around him who were still smiling and greeting Fang Yuan just now also looked a little embarrassed, and they all fell silent.
"Hehe, Senior Brother Fang Yuan doesn't seem to have drunk immortal tea, but there is no defense, tea was originally for people to drink!"
When the people around saw Fang Yuan's appearance, they naturally laughed, although in front of Fang Yuan, no one would show the appearance of seeing the soil buns, but the condescending meaning was undoubtedly revealed, they were all from extraordinary backgrounds, or from a family of cultivators, they had learned all kinds of etiquette since childhood, or they had practiced for many years, and they had already developed a bit of bearing, naturally they were not comparable to Fang Yuan.
At this time, Shen Xiao Peak True Transmission Yan Ji smiled and explained a few words for Fang Yuan.
"Do you usually drink tea like this?"
After Fang Yuan drank the tea, he raised his head with a smile and asked.
"That's natural, if you don't care about etiquette at all, and only make cow drink, wouldn't it be a waste of good tea?"
Liu Mozhen, who was sitting next to Yan Ji, laughed again, looking at Fang Yuan with a faint look in his eyes.
Fang Yuan glanced at him, and then smiled: "I really haven't drunk tea like this before, I don't understand these rules!"
"Haha, this is nothing, the hero is born, no matter how high or low, drink a few more times, and naturally understand......"
Everyone smiled in understanding, and generously persuaded Fang Yuan.
But Liu Mozhen opened his mouth with a smile again, and said: "You don't understand, but you can see it, but you will also become a big disciple of the Xianmen True Transmission in the future, but you have to learn some rules well, so as not to go out in the future without manners, and break the Qingyangmen style......"
Before he could finish speaking, Fang Yuan looked at him with a smile, and then continued, "However, although I have never drunk tea like this, I have read the description of the Gu Immortal Tea Ceremony in the book, and it seems to be a little different from the appearance of several people drinking tea......
After that, he slowly stood up, walked to the woman who was cooking tea, signaled her to get out of the way, and then sat down in front of the stove by himself, first tidied up his clothes, his long hair was coiled up, and then his hands turned into a law seal, a day seal, a place seal, a ground seal to control the fire, and boiled the tea, and then covered the teapot with the palm of the heavenly seal, before pouring the tea, he first clicked it, and then ordered it twice, one high, one low, one in the middle, while pouring the tea, he said in his mouth: "The gift of the tea ceremony has been mentioned in the book of ancient rites and fairy winds......
"Holding the seal of heaven and earth, it is to respect heaven and earth; three times is to respect heaven and earth; heaven is above, to be high, the earth is below, to be low, people are in the middle, so the point is in the middle; tea poured seven and four centimeters high, is a metaphor for the seven sanctification of the four calamities, when serving tea, the palm is made a gift immortal seal, is to respect people; if it is an orchid finger, in fact, it is a self-holding seal, this is not a tea, but a tea......"
He demonstrated it as he did it, then gently placed the teacup on the table next to him.
Slowly got up, said with a smile: "I see your etiquette, it is really a little wrong, if you are in Yunzhou, it will be casual, but if you go to the Seven Holy Lands one day, it is the place where you pay the most attention to etiquette, this kind of tea ceremony, or don't show it, otherwise, if you don't understand, it's defenseless, if you think you understand, but you only learned the skin, it will be ridiculed......"
After saying this, the people around him were suddenly stunned and speechless for a long time.
They really didn't know that there were so many rules in the tea ceremony, and they usually drank it like this......
For a while, they didn't even know if what Fang Yuan said was true or false!
If so, how is it different from what you usually follow?
If it is fake, who can make up so many ways in an instant?
"Haha, I'm laughing to death......"
At this moment, suddenly a woman's voice sounded, and everyone turned their heads to look over, only to find that it was a rather handsome girl who was laughing, she was sitting on the side of Ziyun Peak, and she hadn't spoken just now, but at this time she couldn't help laughing, and said: "Actually, I have long found out that the etiquette you usually follow when drinking tea is indeed a little wrong, I have endured it for a long time, and I have been embarrassed to tell you, I didn't expect you to use it to teach others today......"
It's good that she doesn't speak, but when she speaks, the atmosphere around her suddenly looks a little awkward.
If it is really what they pay attention to is wrong, and the poor family who is laughed at by them is right, then how can there be light on this face?
Even the true legend of Ziyun Peak in front of Senior Sister Xiao Qiao couldn't help it, frowned slightly, and said, "Senior Sister Luo, how can you understand the tea ceremony when you are usually a wild girl who holds a wine gourd ......every day?"
"Hey, I don't like tea, and it doesn't mean I don't understand......"
That Senior Sister Luo looked serious, and said: "Actually, I also specially observed what was going on, and later at an immortal banquet, I found that the sect master drank tea like you, and then I knew that the head was originally there for him, but I don't know if you have observed, Elder Yun knows the ancient rites best, but the children under his seat cook tea differently than this, but it is similar to what he demonstrated just now......
Hearing her say this, everyone was even more embarrassed.
Especially Liu Mozhen, who was laughing at Fang Yuan just now, was even more embarrassed at this time, snorted coldly, put the teacup in his hand heavily on the small case, and looked at the eyes of the woman surnamed Naluo, and it became a little wrong......
"Tea is boiled, it is used to drink, there are all kinds of rules, but there is no need to delve into it!"
Fang Yuan didn't want the woman to offend people by helping him speak, so he spoke again, drew everyone's attention back, and gave a salute to Yan Ji, a disciple of Shenxiao Peak who was sitting at the top, and said with a smile: "Fang Mou was born in poverty, and he didn't understand these noble etiquette, and the tea ceremony that he said was only occasionally seen in the classics, and he wrote it down, and said it in public, but he was laughing and generous!"
Yan Ji on the seat heard this, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Fang Yuan is polite, cooking tea and wine, it's just the fun of cultivation, you really don't have to take it so seriously, in fact, this immortal banquet was originally to discuss the matter of the Demon Breath Lake trial, since Senior Brother Fang is here, he just happened to discuss it, but I don't know if Senior Brother Fang Yuan has a corresponding countermeasure in his heart for this Demon Breath Lake trial?"
Hearing these words, everyone in the audience was attentive and looked at Fang Yuan together.
"I'm still short on my cultivation days and I don't have enough experience, so I'm going to ask you!"
Fang Yuan also raised his head and smiled lightly.
The people around nodded secretly when they heard this, this Xiao Zhufeng is really a young man, he is not arrogant, and his attitude is still very good.
Yan Ji was obviously a little satisfied, nodded slightly, and said: "It's not a secret, several elders and deacons of my Shenxiao Peak once wanted to discuss with Elder Yun, but what his old man meant was to let us decide for ourselves, and my Shenxiao Peak True Inheritance Senior Brother had already built a foundation and cultivated, so I had no choice but to take responsibility for this Demon Breath Lake trial!"
After saying that, he paused slightly, then turned his head to look at Fang Yuan again, and said with a smile: "For Xiao Zhu Peak, everyone is the same door, and they should take care of each other, there are countless dangers in the Demon Breath Lake, I am afraid that it is really not something that Xiao Zhu Feng's junior brothers and sisters can deal with, and the scope of our two peaks is not far apart, originally my Shen Xiao Peak meant that my Shen Xiao Peak would have a disciple and take Xiao Zhu Feng to participate in the trial, but since Elder Yun has decided that Senior Brother Fang Yuan is the true disciple, then there is only an alliance......
"Alliance?"
Fang Yuan nodded and looked at Yan Ji: "What should be the specific reason?"
Yan Ji laughed lightly and said: "It's also very simple, it's nothing more than a nominal or separate trial, but my Shenxiao Peak can send a few disciples to join Xiaozhufeng's side, protect Xiaozhufeng's juniors and sisters, if there is any danger, you can also pass on messages to each other, and when the time comes, my Shenxiao Peak disciples will rush over in time, and I think I can also help Xiaozhufeng resolve a lot of dangers......"
This remark was reasonable, and everyone nodded secretly.
And Fang Yuan also thought about it for a while, but raised his head: "That...... How are opportunities distributed?"
"Serendipity?"
That Shenxiao Peak True Biography Liu Mozhen, but when he heard this, he sneered: "It's good that you guys came out alive, and you still want a chance?"
The other people in the audience, hearing this, also had a somewhat complicated expression.
Fang Yuan didn't look at him, just looked at Yan Ji.
Yan Ji was also silent for a moment before smiling lightly and said, "This is also a problem, according to what I mean, when the time comes, we will see who contributes how much?"
At this time, the room was already dull, and everyone was waiting for Fang Yuan's answer.
However, Fang Yuan laughed lightly and said, "If Shenxiao Peak only takes thirty percent, it can also be ......."
Everyone's expressions suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
Senior Sister Xiao Qiao gently reminded beside her: "Senior Brother Fang Yuan, he said let's take three percent ......."
Fang Yuan said: "That's naturally not good!"
