Immortality: Starting from meeting the fox girl

Chapter 33 Cangmu Scholar
  "You two! The eight-treasure tea is here - please use it slowly."

Not long after, the waiter in the teahouse held a tray in one hand, walked quickly to the table near the window, placed two porcelain bowls on the table, and then was busy entertaining other guests.

Lu Chenran came back to his senses and no longer looked at the scholar, but at the first glance, the scholar's blue eyes were still reflected in his mind.

Could this inked scholar be blind?
  The young prince was obviously well versed in the tea ceremony. He lifted up the sleeves of his robe and poured the boiling water into the tea bowl, pouring it into the tea bowl with both hands.

"Wow—"

Cover the tea with a lid and simmer, then wait for the aroma of the tea.

Then she lowered her head and smiled slightly:

"Brother Lu, do you know there are specialties in drinking this eight-treasure tea?"

"What's the point?"

"The most important thing when drinking Babao tea is to simmer the tea with a lid. Most of the tea ingredients are dried fruits. After being poured into boiling water, the tea soup needs to be simmered before the flavor can be absorbed. When drinking tea, the lid must be tilted to remove the floating liquid in the bowl. You can drink this tea soup only after you have the ingredients.”

"I see."

"."

In fact, Lu Chenran has a deep memory of this eight-treasure tea.

Laba, Laba, my chin fell off from the cold——

In the north of Blue Star, eight-treasure porridge is cooked every few days before the festival, which is similar to the eight-treasure tea.

This Babao tea from the northwest is also called "Three Pao Tai". It is based on tea leaves and mixed with wolfberry, red dates, pecans, etc. In terms of tea selection, jasmine is the main ingredient in summer and green tea in winter. Lord.

Generally speaking, this Babao tea can be brewed in many ways, and each tea ingredient is brewed at a different time. Therefore, every time you sip, the taste of the tea is waiting to be filled with freshness.

In Lu Chenran's view, when drinking tea while eating dried fruits in a bowl, or supplementing it with new seasonings, what you enjoy more than the taste in your mouth is the process of making tea, which is full of the spirit of urban life, and Don't have any fun, be leisurely and contented.

Snow fell outside the window, and a tree of wintersweet blossomed by itself.

The pale yellow petals look like wax flakes, and are set off by the red lanterns of the teahouse, giving them a unique charm.

Outside the teahouse there was a bustle of cars and horses, but inside the teahouse it seemed like a leisurely and comfortable world on the other side. Looking at the various tea ingredients in the bowl gradually spreading out, Lu Chenran picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. He only felt that he was half a harvest in this world and half happy and rich.
  Although Lu Chenran walked in a hurry since Hushan, he also met a lot of people and things.

The saying that life is like a play really comes true. Every single one of them is not more bizarre than the one in the story and the play?

At this moment, Lu Chenran's heart was filled with tranquility.

He took out the "Shen Yi Sutra" from his arms, flipped through the title pages of the book, and drank tea.

Snow Fox curled up in his arms and slept soundly.

The young prince looked out the window silently, thinking about something.

"Is this your first time coming to Jiamu County?"

While Lu Chenran was reading a book, a gentle voice suddenly came from his ears.

Lu Chenran raised his head and saw the pale-eyed scholar walking towards him with a kind face and a smile.

"um, yes."

The Cangmu scholar was familiar with himself, so he sat down next to Lu Chenran and said with a smile:

"The Babao Tea at Babaolou here is considered to be the best in Jiamu County."

"The young gentleman is quite happy, making tea, admiring plum blossoms, watching the snow, and reading. If I'm not mistaken, he should be reading "Shen Yi Jing"."

"You don't mind if I sit here for a while."

"."

The man came closer, and Lu Chenran just observed the person carefully. He is not very tall, but his appearance is very delicate. Although he is a scholar, he has a certain sense of immortality. His blue eyes are not blind, but shine with a clear light.

The young prince on the side looked at Lu Chenran with confusion, not knowing what this person meant by suddenly coming to chat with him.

"I'm just tired of walking around and want to take a rest here. I can't compare to the ink-writing you just made. Please sit down."

"Sir, you actually know the "Shen Yi Sutra"?"

"."

While speaking, Lu Chenran looked at this person carefully from the corner of his eye.

The person who came was definitely not ordinary and certainly not human.

"I have dabbled in some of it. Since I have read the "Shen Yi Jing", do you have any stories in it that are impressive to you?"

The Cangmu scholar asked gently.

In fact, Lu Chenran's pleasure in reading this book was to appreciate all the wonders and geographies in the world. If he wanted to say which chapter of the story attracted him the most, it would be the 'Jade Feeding Spring and Deer Breasts' that he had seen before.

"To say that I am deeply impressed, there is indeed such a place recorded in the book. I am somewhat yearning for the Jade Feed Spring in it. However, it is recorded in the book that this spring is four thousand miles to the west in the north, very far away from Jiamu County. It’s far away.”

"However, I have read many books, but none of them have detailed records of this spring, as if they were compiled by the author of the book."

As Lu Chenran said this, he picked up the teapot and poured a bowl of tea soup for the Cangmu scholar.

At this moment, the distance between the two people was kept within three feet.

In my mind, the title page of the golden book slowly emerged:
  [Befriending Luofu Die: (0/50)]

[According to legend, the immortal seeds in this cave were transformed from Magu's clothes. They emerged from the cave in February and March. By June and July, they turned into cocoons like silkworms, which broke into moths, and then turned into butterflies. 】

[There is a poem that goes: ‘The wings of the Luofu Butterfly are like dustpans, and the colorful clouds fly towards the sky on a sunny day. The golden light is separated from each other, and the articles of the prosperous age are like immortals. Butterflies fly together like phoenixes, and immortals ride into the Taoist priest's room. A phoenix child was born in the house, and the mountains on the top of the four hundred hills were purple. ’]

【.】

Seeing this scene, Lu Chenran couldn't help but marvel:
  ‘This is actually a fairy butterfly. I just met a moth. Did I meet another butterfly? ’

But I don’t know what this butterfly wants from me?
  Scholar Cangmu took a sip of tea soup, then looked at Lu Chenran, considered it and said:

"I have been teaching in Jiamu County for some time, but I have never heard of this jade spring within a hundred miles."

"Well, I have learned some fortune-telling skills from my family since I was a child. When I look at Mr.'s face, I seem to be haunted by an inexplicable strange aura. I wonder if Mr. has met any strange people in the past few days?"

"Of course, I don't mean to curse you. Please don't think too much, sir."

"."

Lu Chenran smiled when he heard this.

It turned out that the butterfly saw that she was entangled in the moth's spell, and then came forward to chat with her.

Along the way, this is the first kind-hearted demon I have seen.

Before Lu Chenran could say anything, the young prince on the side seemed to have thought of something. He squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and then said:

"Sir, if we talk about strange people, the caravan saw an old man holding a yellow banner at a fork in the road outside Jiamu County."

"The wind and snow were too heavy, and I was in a hurry. I didn't see the writing on the yellow flag clearly."

"However, the old Taoist sat and talked with Brother Lu for a long time, for about an hour. I don't know if the strange spirit that the gentleman mentioned has anything to do with the old Taoist."

"."
