The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 250 "The Classic of Tea"

"Lu Yu?"

The young man's name immediately surprised Bai Zhi, because he instantly thought of a person in history.

——Tea Fairy Lu Yu!

But Bai Zhi no longer had any doubts. In the original history, the Tea Fairy Lu Yu was from the Tang Dynasty!

Tea Fairy Lu Yu was born in 733 and died in 803. But it was already more than nine hundred years ago. Could it be that because of himself, the birth of Tea Fairy Lu Yu was delayed?

As for whether this was the reason, Bai Zhi didn't know, but one thing was certain. The tea fairy Lu Yu in history was indeed born more than a hundred years later.

Looking at the young man sitting in front of the window looking at him in shock, Bai Zhi also had a feeling in his heart that he had met the legendary ancients. But as a divine bird, and he has also changed a lot of history, this kind of The feeling only lasted for a moment, and disappeared without a trace the next moment.

Some historical figures may be really amazing and talented, but for Bai Zhi at this time, that can only be said.

At this time, Tea Fairy Lu Yu was still a young man, but his pursuit of the art of tea was as recorded in history.

Looking outside the window lattice, bathed in the bright silver glow of the moonlight, the pure white feathers were like fine clouds in the sky. Under the moonlight, they also shone with holy brilliance, which made Lu Yu feel a little distracted for a moment.

Seeing Lu Yu's respectful attitude, Bai Zhi immediately said, "Yes!"

In the night, the bright moonlight hung on Lishan Mountain, and the white moonlight fell on the earth. Between the moon and Lishan Mountain, a white divine bird slowly spread its wings and flew high, and behind the divine bird , on the mountain road of Lishan Mountain, a person was slowly climbing the mountain, following closely behind the divine bird!

"I didn't expect that the divine bird would come down in the middle of the night and hand it over to the young disciples to take it to Lishan Mountain. I wonder what would happen if I went to Lishan Mountain?"

Seeing that the divine bird did not ask again, Lu Yu had a look of confusion on his face and couldn't help but take the initiative to ask.

In other words, the divine bird in front of him is the ancestor of the Tao of Tea. What kind of gift is this to Lu Yu who pursues the Tao of Tea!

"Who is following the sacred bird?"

And some old men who talked with Lu Yu during the day could not help but sigh:

"Yesterday, when I saw that young young man, I realized that he didn't look like a mortal. When I saw it again today, it turned out to be true!"

Lishan Mountain, which they could not normally climb, felt like walking on flat ground under the feet of that figure!

"This...this must be the person chosen by the divine bird!"

"What's more, the Women's Palace and Junzi Tower founded by Princess Yong'an still exist today. Even though the world is in chaos and warlords from all over the country are fighting endlessly, they don't dare to act arbitrarily in front of Junzi Tower and the Women's Palace!"

"Exactly, I wonder what happened to the divine bird..."

They couldn't help but start imagining, imagining what the scene would be like on Lishan Mountain. Is Lishan Mountain a fairyland where divine birds live?

Therefore, it is not impossible to give Lu Yu some advice from a certain angle. Perhaps Lu Yu's understanding of the art of tea at this time is far better than that of a magical bird like him.

After Lu Yu finished speaking, he seemed to be aware of the disrespect in his words, and then quickly stood up again, bowing deeply to the sacred bird outside the window, and was reluctant to get up for a long time.

"How can Princess Yong'an be someone we can discuss? Princess Yong'an has a noble character and has lived for more than a hundred years. During these more than a hundred years, how many poor children have been saved by the Women's Palace and Junzi Tower?"

Before he finished speaking, the old man left.

"Is there a divine bird in the sky?!"

At this moment, one of them suddenly walked out of the house to take a pee, and happened to see this scene. Then his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning, but he was still where he was.

But before he finished speaking, Lu Yu reacted immediately. He suddenly thought of what the elders in the village said during the day. According to the elders in the village, the tea method that is popular in the world was originally created by the sacred bird. .

"Not to mention the poor women in the world..."

It's just the art of tea, and as far as Bai Zhi is concerned, he doesn't know much about it. After all, when he created tea, it was just a product of boredom.

Under the Li Mountain, they even lived next to Chang'an City and were protected by the Divine Bird Palace. They had not suffered from the war, so they had a deeper respect for the Divine Bird and Princess Yong'an.

Bai Zhi waited for a while, and Lu Yu immediately packed his bags, then walked out of the village courtyard, followed the divine bird in the sky, and walked slowly towards Lishan Mountain.

Therefore, we cannot allow others to say anything bad about Princess Yongan and the Divine Bird!

"Not to mention some people who can make great achievements, most of the wives they marry are women from the palace!"

It was daytime in the blink of an eye, and what happened last night suddenly spread in the village. The villagers were suddenly surprised and amazed at the same time.

Looking at Lu Yu in front of him, Bai Zhi could feel the yearning in his heart for the way of tea. Because of this yearning, Bai Zhi had seen a lot.

If you say that, wouldn't that young man become an immortal? !

In the village, a man couldn't help but said this.

"And there are clear historical records that Princess Yong'an can indeed live forever, but Princess Yong'an rejected the gift of the divine bird, because in Princess Yong'an's view, long life can only bring a meaningless existence. So it’s okay if you don’t want to live forever like this!”

"What did I see?!"

After the creation of the sacred bird, it spread and was immediately passed down by the world.

I just didn’t expect that with the development of the times, more and more people are loyal to the way of tea and like the way of tea.

"I forgot too..."

So he quickly took the initiative and said: "Lu Yu has seen the divine bird. I wonder if the divine bird can teach me the art of tea?"

Of course, this kind of awe was dissipated by the ecstasy in his heart. He quickly stood up and looked at the divine bird outside the window with excitement, and then gave a deep bow to the divine bird sincerely.

"It seems... that young man named Lu Yu during the day!"

Bai Zhi looked at the excited Lu Yu and couldn't help but say this.

An old man finished speaking, then stood up and said: "No more talking, but today I forgot to put incense on Princess Yong'an's ranking..."

The voice of the divine bird was clear and resonant, and had a low and sweet sound, but it gave Lu Yu a sound that seemed to come down from the nine heavens, making him involuntarily feel awe.

"The long years are very boring. Maybe after you are here on the mountain, it will be a little fun."

"It doesn't mean that she will become an immortal. After all, Princess Yong'an, who was favored by the divine bird during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, will not be able to live forever and will eventually return to dust. How much less so now?"

"Even some of the leading generals were born in Junzilou!"

"..."

……

Although the village under the mountain is not big, the legends about the sacred bird are also spread from this village, so without exception, what happened last night has also been revealed.

So the world finally understood that the divine bird had awakened a long time ago, but they couldn't help but wonder, since the divine bird had awakened, why didn't it help Datang to turn the sky?

At this time, some people also thought of the Pre-Han Dynasty. After all, at the end of the Pre-Han Dynasty, the world situation was the same, and at that time Princess Yong'an was still a young girl in the boudoir. Since then, the divine bird has been by Princess Yong'an's side.

But the divine bird did not help the former Han Dynasty, and perhaps the same was true for the Tang Dynasty at this time. Warlords from all over the world seemed to have thought of this while fearing the power of the divine bird, and their actions seemed to be more unrestrained, as if they were testing the divine bird.

The story about the divine bird coming at night and leading the men to climb Mount Li spread throughout the Tang Dynasty and aroused the amazement of the world.

But Bai Zhi didn't know much about what was going on at the foot of the mountain.

After Lu Yu came to Lishan Mountain, he was naturally full of curiosity about everything on Lishan Mountain, but what he was most concerned about was at least the mother tea tree in Lishan Mountain, the oldest tea tree.

Last night, Lu Yu naturally lived in a side hall of the Divine Bird Palace, and early this morning, he was discovered by the soldiers guarding the Divine Bird Palace on Lishan Mountain and was controlled by the soldiers.

Lu Yu quickly explained: "I was brought to Lishan Mountain by the divine bird!"

But naturally the soldiers guarding the Bird Palace did not believe Lu Yu's explanation. Just when the soldiers guarding the Bird Palace were preparing to interrogate Lu Yu severely, Bai Zhi appeared.

"I've met His Majesty the Divine Bird!"

When the soldiers guarding the Divine Bird Hall saw the sudden appearance of the Divine Bird, they immediately knelt down respectfully and then saluted respectfully.

"No gift!"

Bai Zhi could only say quickly.

After all, Bai Zhi also admired these soldiers who guarded the Divine Bird Hall day and night, and most of them were members of the Qin clan during the pre-Qin period. They also lived at the foot of Lishan Mountain and lived a peaceful life. Living a life of peace with the world, his only ambition is to protect the Bird Temple.

Of course, some of the Qin clan here were not willing to live such a lonely and boring life. Therefore, the patriarch of the Qin clan naturally asked those who were unwilling to live in loneliness to leave Lishan, and the price was to never return to Lishan!

Bai Zhi saw all the sacrifices made by the Qin family.

Therefore, he usually paid a lot of attention to the Qin family, so now that he saw the soldiers below saluting him respectfully, Bai Zhi quickly asked them to stand up.

At the same time, he explained: "I did bring Lu Yu up the mountain yesterday. I know what Lu Yu is like. From now on, he can move freely on the mountain. You don't have to stop him."

After hearing Shenniao's explanation, the soldier who had treated Lu Yu harshly just now stood up quickly, and then sincerely apologized to Lu Yu beside him, "Sir, please forgive me for my previous behavior!"

"General, you don't have to be like this. After all, General, you are also responsible!"

Lu Yu didn't take it to heart at all about his embarrassment just now, and he readily forgave the soldier's apology.

"Just now, I noticed that Mr. Lu, you seemed to be looking for something on Lishan Mountain. I don't know what you are looking for, Mr. Lu. I am also quite familiar with this mountain. Maybe I can help you."

"It's nothing..."

Speaking of this, Lu Yu, as a man, showed a shy attitude like a woman, and then he said hesitantly: "I have no other preferences, only this tea is what I want for the rest of my life, and I heard what I heard above Lishan Mountain There is an ancient tea tree that is almost a thousand years old, so I want to see it with my own eyes..."

"So Easy?"

Hearing Lu Yu's purpose, the soldier suddenly showed a look of disbelief. After all, Lu Yu's purpose was indeed very simple, so simple that he had not thought of it.

After all, the world longs for Lishan. What they really yearn for is eternal life and the favor of Lishan's divine bird.

For someone like Lu Yu, who doesn't want the favor of the divine bird or immortality, but wants to take a look at a thousand-year-old tree, he is indeed the first.

However, the soldier looked at the sacred bird on the side. After all, the ancient tea tree on Lishan Mountain was planted by the sacred bird. If Lu Yu was to see it, what kind of consent would be needed?

"I'll take him there myself!"

Bai Zhi on the side said, after all, he brought Lu Yu to Lishan Mountain for this purpose.

"promise!"

When the soldier heard the words of the divine bird, he bowed respectfully, and then returned to where he was standing, seemingly turning into a majestic statue again.

Looking at the soldiers who were not far away, Lu Yu also showed admiration on his face, and then followed behind the Divine Bird and walked towards the path leading to the main road of the Divine Bird Palace.

The winding paths lead to secluded areas, the forest becomes more peaceful with the noise of cicadas, and the mountain becomes more secluded with the singing of birds. The dense leaves blocked the sunlight in the sky, and the sunlight cast tiny rays of light through the gaps in the leaves, adding a bit of coolness to this midsummer day.

As Lu Yu walked on this shady mountain road, his eagerness to see the ancient tea trees gradually dissipated, and he began to appreciate the natural scenery on the road.

There is also a different scenery on Lishan Mountain. Lu Yu, who has never been to Lishan Mountain, has a different experience. He looks at the sacred bird flying slowly in the forest in front of him, but is surprised to find that the sacred bird does not seem to be there. As unattainable as you imagine.

Getting along with the soldiers guarding the Bird Temple on the mountain is not a superior-subordinate relationship, it seems more like...

"friend!"

Lu Yu thought so in his heart.

Although the soldiers guarding the Divine Bird Temple are very respectful to the Divine Bird, the Divine Bird's attitude towards the soldiers is very peaceful, and even shows a kind of respect.

Lu Yu didn't know if the soldiers guarding the Bird Palace were aware of it, but he could feel it on the first day he arrived.

After coming back to his senses, he followed the divine bird and finally came to a creek. Beside the creek, there was a rather tall tree growing. Lu Yu looked at the leaves of the tree and immediately recognized the tree. variety.

"This is...an ancient tea tree?"

He looked up and saw that the ancient tea tree was almost three feet high with dense leaves. Next to the ancient tea tree, there were many smaller tea trees. It was obvious that small tea forests had been formed around it.

Seeing this, he stepped forward ecstatically, then walked around the ancient tea tree, looking up at the tea leaves above. He didn't even notice the stones under his feet, and he almost fell to the ground.

Then, under the gaze of the divine bird, Lu Yu took off the sword from his waist, then climbed up to the ancient tree with a strong body, picked off a delicate leaf, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it.

“Good tea!”

“Good tea!”

Lu Yu was amazed, and then he ecstatically picked a lot of tea leaves, put them on his clothes, and then jumped off the tea tree.

"Thank you to the divine bird. Lu Yu will be able to see such an ancient and good tea tree in this life. He will die without any regrets!"

"I can also study the art of tea in detail..."

"In that case, why not write a book and biography?"

Bai Zhi heard this and said.

"Write down many insights into the art of tea and name it "The Classic of Tea"!"
