Qingyangmen, Donglai Peak.
Under the pine tree, in front of the stone table.
Gu Chen and Qing Yangzi made moves one after another.
On the chessboard, the black and white pairs compete, with no winner or loser.
The agarwood tea is steaming and fragrant.
The tea in Gu Chen's cup was gradually emptying out, but there was still more than half of the tea in Qingyangzi's cup.
Even if it is a new tea picked by mistake, the agarwood tea brewed is inferior, but it is far from comparable to ordinary tea.
Once you drink it, your mouth will be fragrant and your mind will be clear and your eyesight will be clear. It will help practitioners to gain enlightenment and is priceless.
Agarwood tea is irrigated with the unique spiritual dew on Yanhui Peak. It matures in three years, matures in six years, and grows old in nine years. In other words, only agarwood tea that has been planted for more than nine years is most suitable for picking. It's also more obvious.
Because of this effect, people who usually drink other kinds of tea will have a strong desire for agarwood tea. Even just smelling it will give them a huge sense of satisfaction.
But the problem lies in the difference between old and new agarwood tea.
People who have drank the best old agarwood tea will feel disappointed if they go back to drink the inferior new agarwood tea. Even compared with ordinary tea, it is not much better.
Of course, this is just a psychological effect at best. It does not mean that new agarwood tea has no effect, but it is like shit compared with old tea.
It’s a very inelegant thing to say, but the wonderful thing is that it is true.
There is no harm without comparison, and the feelings after comparison are in the hearts of those who have tasted truly superior agarwood old tea.
Unfortunately, Qingyangzi had drank the finest old agarwood tea, and was one of the few people who could drink agarwood tea to the fullest.
Gu Chen picked up the teacup, brought it to his nose and smelled it gently, then took a sip, still feeling unfinished.
He drank it all directly, and then filled the tea cup without any pause, and the fragrance overflowed again.
Qingyangzi looked at Gu Chen's intoxicated appearance, and then looked at his half cup of tea that was "too much to drink", and felt a little depressed.
The tea was good tea, but he just couldn't drink it.
Qingyangzi suddenly felt regretful. If he had known earlier, he should not have let Gu Chen make such tea.
It's the same agarwood tea, but after drinking the old tea, and then going back to drink the new tea, the contrast is even stronger, which is naturally difficult to swallow.
This has nothing to do with the nature of the mind, but is due to the characteristics of the tea itself.
After all, agarwood tea helps monks achieve enlightenment. In other words, it awakens the Taoist heart and communicates with the similar Taoist rhythm between heaven and earth.
There is a world of difference in the effect between old tea and new tea. The difference is like drinking a bowl of fragrant soup and someone hands you a bowl of water. The difference is extremely strong.
At this juncture, Xu Mushan also mentioned it to Gu Chen.
Although Xu Mushan said it casually, Gu Chen just happened to notice such subtleties.
Seeing Qingyangzi's depressed expression, Gu Chen felt a little gloating.
Qingyangzi dropped a white piece and drank the half cup of tea in one gulp. He was hesitating whether to pour another cup, but Gu Chen had already filled it up for him diligently.
"There's plenty more, feel free to drink."
Qingyangzi's expression stiffened slightly.
"Don't waste it."
Qingyangzi glared at Gu Chen fiercely and drank it all in one gulp.
Gu Chen wanted to pour tea again, but Qing Yangzi covered the teacup with his hand, unwilling to drink any more.
Gu Chen smiled, put the teapot away, took a sip, smacked his lips, and quickly poured himself another cup.
Gu Chen suddenly glanced at Liu Zhen who was practicing.
At this time, Liu Zhen was practicing with his eyes closed. On his body, Yuan Power was released bit by bit, and then surrounded his Dantian. It looked like it was made up of condensed water droplets. It divided and combined at each time, revealing mystery.
Liu Zhen's whole person seemed fresh and refined, as if he were in a pure lake, natural and cool. The feeling was extremely direct, as if it should be like this.
Gu Chen nodded secretly, Liu Zhen's temperament was simple and direct, and he followed the path of simplicity.
Before, in the Qingyang Sect, I often heard about the first three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue that were realized by Qingyangzi.
Because of his arrival, everyone in the Qingyang Sect thought that Qingyangzi's skills had already determined the successor. It was also because of this that Zhong Ding's obstruction and the subsequent Wushi incident occurred.
Gu Chen couldn't help but think that what Liu Zhen was practicing at this time should be the top three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue.
"The top three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue are based on the foundation of the middle three techniques and cannot be understood out of thin air. Therefore, to practice the top three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue, one must have the foundation of the middle three techniques. Otherwise, it will be like a castle in the air, and you can’t learn from it.”
Seemingly seeing some of Gu Chen's doubts, Qingyangzi explained casually: "Liu Zhen's qualifications are indeed good, but to practice the top three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue, you also have to follow the steps. Now he is He is practicing the first of the three techniques, which is called breaking the flow of water. He has been practicing for a short time, but he has already grasped some of its true meaning."
Gu Chen nodded and said, "He is indeed a very good successor."
Qingyangzi was silent for a while and said: "Although I have understood the Qingyang Royal Flame Technique, this technique is obtained from the sky stone. It is mine, but not mine. It must be returned to the sect after all..."
"I understand."
Gu Chen was very calm, looked at Liu Zhen, and said: "If it were him, he would definitely be able to carry forward the three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue."
Qingyangzi smiled faintly, but shook his head and said: "Registered disciples can be regarded as disciples, but in fact, according to my original intention, I did not intend to accept disciples. The places for the three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue have already been found. Determination.”
At this point, Qingyangzi seemed to be feeling emotional and did not continue talking immediately.
Gu Chen thought of Zhong Ding's Sun-Chasing Sword.
"At the beginning, I was discouraged and had already embarked on a dead end, but it happened that I realized the three techniques of Qingyang Yuyan Jue at that time. It was really unexpected. At that time, I gave up my position as the head of Qingyang Sect. I am thinking about spending the rest of my days walking around this world. There are many places that I couldn’t go to before or didn’t have time to go to. I can just take this opportunity to go out and walk. It can be regarded as fulfilling a wish I once had. It’s just that If you want to hand over that burden to others, and if you want to be at ease yourself, you still need to pay some price for what you have done and what you will do.”
As Qingyangzi talked, his thoughts became a little confused. When he was lost in thought, Gu Chen did not forget to pour him a cup of tea.
Qingyangzi seemed to be a little thirsty, so he picked up the tea cup and drank it.
"What I gained from enlightenment was related to the Dao. Although it was related to the Dao, I didn't think too much about it at the time. At that time, I thought that everything was over and the way forward was no longer so important. So at that time, I was thinking about the exercises and so on. , just give it to me, just give it to me, the Great Dao, etc., but due to my limited ability, I can only teach the first of the three tricks, that is, the Golden Crow Zhuri move. The current head of Qingyang Sect is my junior brother Zhong Ding."
That sun-chasing sword is very similar to Qingyangzi's sun-bathing sword, and even has the same Taoist charm in it.
Gu Chen had some vague guesses earlier, but now what Qingyangzi said only confirmed some of his guesses.
"In the past fifty years, he has been practicing the Golden Crow Zhuri style, and he has practiced it to an extremely deep level. Otherwise, it would not have affected the form of the Yuyang Sword. However, it is a pity that he will never be able to get out of his own way. That path, or... I don't want to admit my path, but complexity and simplicity are two extremes. As the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Since he chose one of them, he must give it up. The other one is the best of both worlds after all, I can only think about it.”
The purpose of practicing Qingyang Yuyan Jue is to condense the Yangyang Magical Sword, which is the result of practicing this technique and condensing all the cultivation base. The quality of this Yangyang Magical Sword itself reflects the magic sword. The master’s conduct and the skills he practices.
Although they are all Yuyang swords, there are various differences between them, especially the Taoist rhyme. Unless they are inherited from the same origin, they will not have the same Taoist rhyme.
