Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Tea Sacred Mansion
The dust washing alley is much quieter than the outside, Changning and the two don't speak, and the little guy leads the way quietly, with a steady pace and even breath, obviously well-trained.
After walking for less than half an hour, the little servant stopped, pointed to a plain-looking courtyard in front of him and said, "This is it, the master is inside, distinguished guests, please come in." ”
No wonder you have to send someone to lead the way, this courtyard is unremarkable, just the appearance of ordinary people, from the end of the dust lane, there are not hundreds of similar courtyard gates, there are dozens, there is indeed no uniqueness. To let Changning and the others find the door by themselves, I'm afraid it's really not an easy thing.
After the little guy finished speaking, he stood beside him, and it didn't look like he was going to follow. Changning hesitated, Lu Ming had already taken a big step and walked in, as if he was talking to himself: "Tsk, it turns out that it is really that small archway, and I don't lose money on this trip today." ”
Changning looked at Lu Ming who was walking in front and heard something from her words, but he didn't delve into it, just followed the steps and walked in.
When I entered the courtyard, I found that this intelligence organization, which seemed to be extremely famous and could arouse Lu Ming's sigh, was really low-key, and even the people who walked in it were all mortals who had not cultivated themselves, as if they were sure that no one would dare to make a mistake here.
The side room was brightly lit, but the door was tightly closed, and they couldn't hear what anyone was saying with their ears. There is only one facing in front of him, the door is open, the lights are flickering, and the appearance of smiling and welcoming guests is obvious.
The two of them walked into the room, and on the main seat in the room, there was an old lady with silver hair, the old lady looked kind, smiled slightly and watched the two come in, and then got up and made two cups of tea in person.
Lu Ming took a shallow sip of tea, raised his thin eyebrows, and sighed "good tea". Changning also took a sip, but felt a stream of sweetness from the tip of the tongue, straight into the heart, after swallowing, the sweetness between the lips and teeth lingered, echoing with the sweetness between the throat, and the heart was also refreshed. Even if he is a person who doesn't understand tea, he can taste the beauty of this tea.
Seeing the expressions of the two, the old lady also smiled, and the smile naturally showed boundless nobility, and she was able to compete with Lu Ming, who had just deliberately revealed her breath, and Changning was a little more curious about the identity of this person. After all, in Changning's opinion, Lu Ming's extravagance is really rooted in the family behind her who doesn't know what status she has, coupled with the arrogance of everyone in the sword shrine, intentionally or unintentionally, and the old lady in front of her, who seems to have no cultivation, can also have such a temperament, and her background is obviously extremely extraordinary.
"The thousand-year-old tree is moonlight white, rooted in the earth's veins, and naturally grows for more than a thousand years, on the day of the full moon, take a bud tip, and store it in the flower mud pot to leave the fragrance, it is this tea. The old lady's voice was calm and gentle, obviously talking about such a masterpiece in the world, but her tone seemed to be talking about the shortcomings of the family.
"Flower clay?" Changning heard of this clay material for the first time.
"There are thousands of flowers in the world, some are simple and elegant, some are public, and the style and bones are different. Moonlight white tea is squeamish, and when it is half a moment away from the tree, the fragrance and color will drop sharply. Carefully search for flowers whose aromas can complement each other, carefully grind them into flower mud, and cold-make them into tea cans. After the moonshine white tea is picked, it only has half a quarter of time to tann, and then it must be immediately put into the jar to slow down the escape of the tea aroma. Other teas are mostly more mellow and mellow, but moonlight white is the only one that can't withstand the years. ”
"Tea is like a beauty. Lu Ming took another sip and solemnly put down the teacup. Her sentence is not exaggerated, but the old lady in front of her has a superb temperament, presumably she must have been a generation of stunning when she was young, and people and tea echo each other, so she has such an sigh.
"Prizes. If the girl likes it, I still have some here, and I'll take some later and try them on weekdays. This tea is cumbersome to pick, and when drinking, you only need to boil the mountain spring water and let it stand for fifteen breaths, and then rush it in one go. ”
"It's good tea, it's just that the martial artists are sleeping in the open, and I'm afraid that this good tea will be ruined in vain. Lu Ming smiled.
"It's too humble. The two of them are distinguished and abnormal, where can they talk about abrupt things. ”
"It's just a bit of chance, there are a lot of disciples in the Sword Shrine Sect, and I can't count them like the two of us, so I can't talk about honor. Lu Ming waved his hand.
"Since the girl said so, she was too old to be anxious. If the girl wants to drink tea and chat, in this small archway, the old body is always there. ”
"Then thank you in advance. ”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Invite the two of you to come this time, the old body really has something to ask for. Naturally, it will be compensated at a considerable price. ”
Changning breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He thought that the old and the young in front of him were going to talk about tea and play until he didn't know when, it wasn't that he was anxious, but he really didn't understand these things, and now that someone changed the topic, he was naturally happy and relaxed.
The children of the He family found a jade plate that recorded the lead to a small cave, and happily took it and said that they wanted to invite the two of them to make offerings. He was a little cautious, but it wasn't what I cared about. The old man has been running a small archway over the years, and has saved a lot of gossip that he has not had. Nine times out of ten, the cave they found was left by Lu Yu, the previous tea master. ”
"Lu Yu, the tea saint, the one who entered the Tao with tea?" Lu Ming said in surprise.
"Probably that's it. The old body has been alone all his life, and the only thing he likes is tea. Moonlight white is already the pinnacle that mortal bodies can reach, and it has been difficult to advance since then. If you can watch the tea scripture, maybe there is a way out, and it is not known. ”
"If it's really Lu Yudong Mansion, then I'm afraid I and my junior brother and I won't be able to deal with it......"
"Hahaha, the old body is still some years, and I am not in a hurry for this time. The two of them are willing, and the old body is already grateful. ”
"But...... We don't want to ...... with the He family No, the two of us didn't want to be too close to any family. On the one hand, this trip is only on the orders of the teacher, and on the other hand, it is also limited in ability, and it is difficult to take the responsibility of worship. Changning said.
"It doesn't matter. The tea saint is not a sword saint, and it really doesn't help much for the sword mound, but it is a heart-to-heart for the old body. This is what the old man wants, and the old man will go to talk to the children of the He family. ”
"But it's a cave after all...... Changning continued, "Old man, you take the tea scriptures, but a cave mansion means far more than that for cultivators...... In this way, I heard that the family martial arts are also swords, so I will exchange a sword for it. When I enter the realm, I can forge a sword in exchange for the He family, how about it?"
"The sword of the sword mound, and is it still tailor-made? That's really a great goodness, it's easy to find an offering, but a good sword is hard to find, and the child will wake up laughing when he dreams." ”
