There was no one in the tearoom. When the door opened, the wind blew in, and the rolling curtains on all sides of the teahouses made a slight crisp sound. In front of the counter, there was a long sandalwood case in the middle of the room. At one end of the long case were placed the Four Treasures of the Study, the ink has not been grinded, and the volume has not been
There is a stove on the other side of the long desk, which is boiling mountain spring water with live fire. The copper kettle is steaming and making a slight sound.
Yiqing layman asked the three of them to sit down. You Fang sat in the middle, Cang Lan and Xiang Yinghua were on the left and right sides. She sat facing each other and raised the copper pot, put out the tea set, and started to make tea for the guests. First, she poured hot water into the pot.
After that, wait until the surface of the purple sand has evaporated and dried due to the heat, then put down the pot and picked up a white porcelain pot, opened the lid, scooped out a spoonful of tea leaves with a bamboo spoon and placed it in the pot.
When I opened the tea can, I first smelled the subtle fragrance. I took out the tea leaves and looked closely at the tall and handsome buds and two leaves. The pot was made of purple sand pottery and the cup was a jade cup with a moist white background with pink and green ginger patterns. Only half the pot of water was filled, and the Yiqing layman took it.
He picked up the teapot and shook it as if he wanted to pour tea, but the teapot was hanging above the tea tray and was not handed over.
Perhaps influenced by the atmosphere, You Fang was already lost in thought when he saw her making tea. When he saw her lifting the pot, he picked up the cup and handed it over to take the tea. Yiqing layman was slightly stunned, but he still poured him a cup of tea.
, Xiang Yinghua and Cang Lan had no intention of holding the cups. Seeing that the tea in You Fang's cup had been poured, they also picked up the jade cups and handed them over.
Yiqing layman couldn't help but want to laugh. He didn't pour tea for Xiang Yinghua and Cang Lan. After You Fang took a cup, she poured out the rest of the water in the pot and made another pot.
.After brewing, he stopped pouring the tea. He just raised his beautiful eyes and looked at You Fang with a smile but not a smile.
Seeing this, Yu Fang knew that he must have raised the cup by mistake, but he was thick-skinned and did not change his expression. He raised the cup to his lips and took a careful sip. The jade cup was not big, and then he drank it all in one gulp.
He put the cup down again and said, "Thank you, layman, for the tea."
Yiqing layman asked: "How do you like this tea?"
You Fang pursed his lips and said, "It's a little astringent, maybe the cooking temperature is a little lacking."
Yi Qing layman nodded slightly and said: "The tea roasted over slow fire is a bit strong, the tea juice is contained, and the flavor is not enough when brewed. Before brewing this tea, you need to wash it with boiling water, and then pour out the moistened leaves in the pot.
Get rid of its astringent meaning. Mr. Rand is really a straightforward person. He can not only taste the essence of this tea, but also calmly appreciate its astringency."
It turns out that what was poured out of the pot just now was not the tea brewed for the first time, but the water for washing the tea. No wonder Xiang Yinghua and Cang Lan didn't move or pick up the cups, but You Fang didn't understand the importance of stretching out the cups first.
. Xiang Yinghua and Cang Lan did not want to embarrass him alone, so they also picked up the teacups with him, but Yiqing layman did not pour it for them.
I see, it was a joke. You Fang put down the tea cup and said openly: "Master, please don't praise me. I'm so sorry. I come from the countryside and know nothing about tea ceremony. Raising a cup disturbs the elegance of tea drinking. In this case
, please have another drink, okay?"
Yiqing layman poured another cup of tea for the three of them and asked with some confusion: "There are rumors in the world that Mr. Rand is not a Feng Shui wizard who returned from overseas?"
You Fang smiled and said: "There are also rural areas in foreign countries, but they don't know much about tea. In front of you, layman, aren't the foreign bumpkin even more bumpkin?"
Before he finished speaking, his left and right legs were kicked at the same time. It turned out that it was Cang Lan and Xiang Yinghua who were secretly kicking him under the table. In such an elegant place and elegant talk, You Fang felt a little bit angry when he opened his mouth.
Boiling the harp and playing the crane is a disgrace to the scenery. The Yiqing layman made tea for him with his own hands. Even if he didn't play the harp to an ox, it would still be as good as plucking the strings to a fish.
Yiqing layman just smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Rand is really elegant and clumsy. Comrades, please appreciate it."
You Fang tasted this real first cup again. He felt that the tea had a light fragrance and was astringent. He couldn't help but ask again: "What kind of tea is this?"
Yiqing layman replied leisurely: "Tianmu Mountain starts from Lin'an, Hangzhou, and its remaining branches enter Jingxian County, Xuancheng. Since ancient times, the wild tea in the mountains has been unknown. It may be called Tianmu Yunwu, or Tingxi Orchid Fragrance."
You Fang asked curiously: "Yunwu and Lanxiang, they seem to be two kinds of tea, right?"
Yiqing layman shook his head and said: "It's just a kind of tea, but because of the different Qi and Spiritual Centers where it grows, the taste is different. Yunwu is picked from the place where the clouds and mist roll up on the peak. Its fragrance is light, and you can only feel the fragrance after tasting it slowly.
It is fragrant; it is called orchid picked from the slope of the orchid valley next to Tingxi River. Its taste is astringent, and you can only feel its far-reaching aftertaste several times. Mr. Rand, do you think this cup of tea is cloudy or orchid?"
You Fang raised the cup again and said, "Then let's have another cup."
The jade cup is not big, and the teapot is also very small. After pouring four cups of water into one pot, you can pour it into the second pot. The astringency in the entrance is stronger, but it contains the fragrance of tea, which is lingering. Try it again.
After three cups, the aroma of the tea gradually became better. You Fang finally nodded and said: "This tea is the clouds and mist lingering around the half peak, the fragrance of orchids from the source of the high slope stream. I saw the tea brewed by the layman himself today. It's simply amazing."
It’s hard to imagine that it’s so elegant and wonderful that it can master the realm of transferring the spiritual pivot.”
The layman Yiqing finally opened his mouth and smiled: "Whether you say my tea is good or bad, if you can taste it to the level of the spiritual hub, it is not worth stepping down to welcome me. Mr. Rand is a senior, there is no need to call me a layman, the junior's surname is
Chu Mingfu."
You Fang pondered: "Chu Fu? "The Songs of Chu" says, 'If you can't get in, I will leave you. When you retreat, I will repair my first clothes. I made lotus flowers to make clothes, and gathered lotus flowers to make clothes.' The poem is elegant, the person is elegant,
This name also has a noble elegance."
He had been kicked twice under the table just now, and now he finally opened his mouth and said a few words of dissatisfaction. He secretly said to himself that it was fortunate that Mr. Wu Pingtong had given him a book list and asked him to improve his literary skills, otherwise he would have said nothing.
Wen also has difficulty in truly appreciating the artistic conception of the ancient style, but now he really uses it temporarily to meet the occasion.
Yiqing layman's eyes lit up slightly. This time, he did not wait for You Fang to pick up the cup. He took the initiative to hold the pot and poured him a cup of tea over the tea tray: "Thank you Mr. Rand Yazan, please use the tea!"
As soon as You Fang sat down today, he felt a little out of tune with the surrounding atmosphere. He felt that he was really a commoner here, and he gradually became more harmonious at this moment. There are advantages and disadvantages to practicing the subtle techniques of spiritual consciousness. If your expression and temperament are not in harmony with the environment, you will always be in trouble.
It feels a little awkward, and I'm finally relaxing now.
Yiqing layman did not have any intention of fighting or any other rudeness in the confrontation, but when talking to her, You Fang subconsciously wanted to wipe his sweat.
Then enjoy the clouds and mist at the half peak and the fragrance of orchids at the source of the stream. The jade cup in your palm has been warmed, and the beautiful scene seems to be carried but invisible. He softly chants to Yinghua: "One bowl kisses the throat to moisten it, two bowls break the loneliness and depression, and three bowls search the dry intestines. Only
There are five thousand volumes of text. Four bowls make people sweat lightly, and all the injustices in life are dispersed into the pores. Five bowls make the muscles and bones clear, and six bowls bring immortality. Seven bowls cannot be eaten, but you can feel the cool breeze blowing in your armpits. Penglai Mountain, in
Where? Yuchuanzi, taking advantage of this cool breeze, I want to go back."
Cang Lan said on the other side: "So it turns out Fairy Moon Shadow also likes Tamagawako's "Seven Bowls of Tea Song"? Today I found out that Mr. Rand has great skill but hides his clumsiness, and he is a truly elegant man."
You Fang held it in for a long time before answering: "I'm not very familiar with Tamakawako's Seven Bowls of Tea Song, but I have heard of his poems when I was practicing secret techniques - eating Taihe Yin and Yang Qi alone, and flowing pearls in the vastness Walking through hundreds of passes, the continuous journey seems to be profound."
This paragraph was originally told to Xiang Yinghua when he was in Chuyang Township. You Fang sighed in his heart. The purpose of coming today was to test Yiqing layman. It was also a public demonstration and warning. How could he sit down when they met? The atmosphere has completely changed? I can't even say a murderous word, let alone murderousness, even the mundane smoke and smoke have been washed away.
At this time, Chu Fu held the cup and said leisurely: "One heart, two leaves, mountain spring water, April Qingming, picking tea at noon, six liang green, seven bowls of dew..."
You Fang saw that the three women were getting along well while chatting while drinking tea. After thinking for a long time, he finally bit the bullet and said with a smile: "Chu Fu, as the master of Shunzhang Hall of Jiuxing Sect, you are in charge of the inheritance of the sect's secret law. He is a noble, pure and elegant person who is admirable, but nowadays, the world is turbulent and mysterious, and the descendants of the Nine Star Sect are scattered in various places without a core to maintain them, so they may be worried about being polluted. Last year, I killed Sun Fengbo, the master of the Zang Hall, and Master Shen led the crowd to ask questions. , but asked about the embarrassment of having a bad style. Recently, I still heard rumors that members of the Nine Star Sect such as Sun Fengbo are still worried. What does Hall Master Chu think of it?"
Chu Fu Ru Ning Yu Su held the jade cup and sighed slightly: "The peace of the world is chaotic in the dark, and the human heart is stained. People in the world may pride themselves on being pure and turbid, but they don't know that they are just moving with the flow. It is not possible to distinguish the clear through the inheritance of nine stars." "Zhuo", it is not the distinction between elegance and vulgarity based on the secret method. If there are secretive and evil people in Jiuxing Sect, they should be cleaned up no matter what, and our sect will deal with them. And if Mr. Rand encounters them, he may as well carry out the act of killing Sun Trouble again. Jiuxing should be grateful."
Seeing the change in the tone of the conversation, Cang Lan also asked: "What about you, Hall Master Chu? If the Nine-Star Sect becomes catastrophic, where will you be?"
Chu Fu put down the cup: "I am the person who protects the sect's inheritance. The Nine-Star Secret Technique does not use tyranny as elegance, nor does it use decline as vulgarity. It has an endless line of true meaning. This is the flavor of tea."
You Fang thought about these words for a long time, but he didn't say anything after all. Alas, let's drink tea. When leaving, Chu Fu still sent them to the door and held their hands at the foot of the stairs. Xiang Yinghua looked back at her He seemed to be very touched and said: "We have nothing to say about the nobleness of Hall Master Chu. Everyone has their own responsibilities. No matter what sect or sect, having an elder like you who is in charge of the secret law inheritance is extremely precious. I regret it." In this world where the turbid current is rolling, I don’t know what the taste of Mingzhong is like?"
The implication of Xiang Yinghua is that the secret law of the sect is inherited, and an elder like Yiqing Jushi is perfect. It is indeed not her responsibility to supervise the sect and restrain the behavior of the disciples. The Jiuxing Sect has this master of the Shunzhang Hall, No matter what twists and turns there are, the true meaning can be kept intact. But I am afraid that what will happen next to the Nine Star Sect will make Chu Fu unbearable.
Chu Fu said leisurely: "The time is slowed down by the warm fragrance, and the passage of time is peaceful in the end."
The three of them looked at each other and returned the courtesy at the same time. They walked along the undulating road in the mountains, turned a corner and walked far away. Then You Fang asked in a low voice: "In your opinion, Yiqing layman may be a member of the Wuchong sect." ?"
Xiang Yinghua and Cang Lan said in unison: "Absolutely impossible!"
You Fang was a little emotional: "Just by sitting and drinking a few cups of tea, you can conclude that she has no problem. When I sit in front of her, I also feel that the state of elegance can cleanse people's hearts. This elder's secret cultivation level is not low."
Cang Lan frowned and said: "Of course her cultivation level is not low, but she is not a master of fighting. I even feel that this person is not good at fighting with others." According to popular understanding, this means that high kung fu may not mean you can fight. , if we talk about practicing martial arts, what this person practices is only a kind of physical and mental cultivation rather than martial arts.
I had the same feeling when I saw Chu Fu herself wandering around. Think about it, what does Lin Daiyu look like wielding an axe, or Li Kui drawing eyebrows? I really can't imagine it.
Xiang Yinghua said thoughtfully: "If the Nine-Star Sect had no problems, there would be no need for an elder like this to fight with others. She only needs to control the secret method to enlighten the disciples... Rand, you ask us. , how do you view her?"
You Fang rubbed the back of his head, with a strange look on his face, and said rashly: "Why do I feel like I've met a young artistic woman?"
Xiang Yinghua glared at him: "Rand, this is wrong! There are too many people in the world who are talented but ignorant, so they are often ridiculed. Seeing those who are both talented and elegant, you still ridicule them together. It's really inappropriate. Should!"
Cang Lan also said dissatisfied: "Senior, how can you criticize Hall Master Chu like this? How can a person who wants to be elegant but does not understand the true meaning compare to a truly elegant person?"
You Fang was despised again for his nonsense, and he said with a smile: "I was just kidding!... It seems that the Nine Star Sect is really mixed now. I heard that its inheritance since ancient times has been elegance and self-admiration. After hearing this, I I was a bit sarcastic in my heart, but when I saw the Master of Shunzhang Hall, I felt that the person who was being ridiculous was actually me."
Cang Lan smiled and said: "I know you are joking. Mr. Rand is a person who travels around the world in elegance but does not work hard."
You Fang: "But then again, Yinghua, if you were like her, I'm afraid I don't know whether to hold you up or support you. I just feel that I'm too vulgar."
Xiang Yinghua also made him laugh: "It's Rand's admiration for him to be forthright and forthright, and Yinghua is Yinghua."
You Fang straightened his clothes and said with a smile: "I went to Yiqingju today. I seem to have become noble and elegant. I feel like a refined scholar. I will go back and find a place to recite poems."
Cang Lan joked on the side: "Really? I didn't notice this. On the contrary, after painting by the Qiantang River yesterday, Mr. Rand's description was calm and determined."
At this moment, a taxi that was taking passengers to the scenic spot passed by on its way back. It braked and stopped on the side of the road. The driver shouted to the tourist: "Boss, do you want to take a taxi? It only costs fifty to get to West Lake from here!" "
You Fang turned to one side and shouted: "What? Fifty! Just pretend I don't know how to count. Just counting twenty is enough."
The driver yelled: "You don't even know where this place is, how can you get a taxi? Even the bus is not accessible! At least you have to pay forty, how can you be so stingy when you go out to play with a girl?"
You Fang: "Anyway, you're running for nothing. There's no taxi here, and the truck can't pick up passengers."
Driver: "At least 40, otherwise I won't do it. I've never seen such a naughty guy. Are you not afraid of your girlfriend's jokes?"
You Fang waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter whether you are forty or fifty. I didn't want to take a taxi in the first place. Let's go quickly. Don't disturb my enjoyment of walking with the beautiful woman."
The driver was very dissatisfied and started the car and drove away, muttering something in his mouth: "You stingy man, just wait until your feet are scratched when you step out!"
When You Fang turned around, he found that both Xiang Yinghua and Cang Lan were looking at him and laughing, their branches trembling and almost doubled over with laughter.

Qingshan Lake, also known as Huijin Lake, is located in Qingshan County, Lin'an City, 40 kilometers west of Hangzhou. It was originally a reservoir. After its completion, it formed an artificial lake that is in harmony with the natural mountains and rivers. A dam intercepts it like a rainbow.
Nantiao River forms a green mountain lake surface, surrounded by Xijing Mountain, Linglong Mountain, Jiuxian Mountain and Baota Mountain, and is gracefully undulating.
When a tourist arrives at Qingshan Lake, the most intuitive feeling is that one has stepped into a painting. This painting is either a scroll with scenery on his sleeve, or a picture of the elegance of mountains and rivers that unfolds naturally between heaven and earth, making people feel comfortable and integrated without knowing it.
.
This scenic spot is also a national forest park, home to many rare birds such as cygnets, long-tailed pheasants, white storks, and black storks, as well as various plants that are rare or even extinct elsewhere, such as wintersweet and gymnospermia ginkgo.
Ginkgo is now a very common landscape tree and street tree. It is transplanted and cultivated widely across the country. However, the earliest remaining ancient ginkgo in the world comes from Tianmu Mountain next to Qingshan Lake.
There is also a water forest in Qingshan Lake. The pond fir was introduced from North America in the 1960s. Now it has formed a unique landscape of mountain forests reflected in the million-square-meter water surface. In addition to the pond fir, there are also pond fir growing in the shallow water near the coast.
There are many native wetland plants. The entire water area of Qingshan Lake covers an area of ten square kilometers. It is surrounded by lush bamboos and pines, and the changes in levels between the green are breathtaking. Fish are flying in the water and lurking at the bottom, and herons are swimming in the water. Being in it is like entering the spiritual hub of heaven and earth.
The tranquil mood.
The surrounding area is also a place where Wuyue culture is concentrated. At the northern foot of Qingshan Mountain, there is Jincheng Town, the hometown of King Qian, and the Qianwang Hometown Scenic Area. It is the birthplace and burial place of Qian Liu, the founder of Wuyue Kingdom. It is the only emperor's tomb city and scenic spot preserved in Zhejiang.
There are also cultural relics and historical sites of the Wuyue Kingdom such as the Tang Dynasty Heroes Tower with brick and wood structure, the Shuiqiu Family Tomb, Kangling Mausoleum, etc.
Outside Jincheng Town, there are Baojin Mountain, Pagoda Mountain in the south, Tiaoxi River and Jinxi Shuangxi. Further to the northeast, there is Xijing Mountain, also known as Shuanglin Mountain, which is the beginning of the Tianmu Mountain Dragon Vein. There is an ancient village named Jixian in an excellent Fengshui location.
The village has an outstanding place and outstanding people. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, this village produced 18 Jinshi in succession, hence the name Jixian Village. This is a typical Feng Shui treasure land with beautiful mountain gardens. The Dongshan next to the village is said to be the site of Xie'an in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
A place of seclusion, from which the allusion of "comeback" comes.
The green mountains and lakes are not deep but full of affection, the mountains are not high but are extraordinary and graceful. There are real historical allusions such as the birth of King Qian and his return to his hometown in rich clothes. There are the bachelor's pine planted by Su Dongpo, the handwritten Jiuzhe Rock and the mosaic rocks left by the visits of literati and poets of the past dynasties.
carve.
After visiting Yiqing layman, the tourist arrived at Qingshan Lake in the afternoon. On this day and the next day, he traveled around with Xiang Yinghua and Cang Lan, looking for ancient times and quiet places in the landscape paintings. It was refreshing and refreshing to walk with beautiful things.
A life-and-death bloody battle was right in front of him, but there was no trace of murderous aura in him.
