There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies in this world, and every qiē is dominated by interests.

The two people who were fighting with swords and guns just now were already smiling and drinking tea in the antique tea room of the wooden building. Concubine Feng Mi said that she has always disliked coffee, prefers Chinese tea, and her habit has not changed whether it is at home or abroad.

So when she built this wooden building, the only place she personally designed was the tea room on the first floor, the tea room was about 80 square meters, the area in the middle was quite ancient Han style, the guests and the host sat on the mahogany floor, in front of a delicate tea table that can be called a root carving artwork, the whole tea table is a thousand-year-old sycamore complete tree roots, each branch is originally preserved, and the section is the desktop.

The tea set on the table is not a modern thing at first glance, Tang Lin has nothing in this regard, and he has less contact with it during training, the only thing he can be sure of is that whether it is Zisha's teapot or Zisha's teacup, it is priceless. Others who have collected it must be reluctant to really use it to make tea, and they will carefully seal it in a zài safe or put it in the glass to enjoy it every day.

However, Concubine Feng Mi completely regarded these as original utensils, and she seemed to be a different person in an instant when she sat on the tea table, just now she was bewitching and sexy outside, and there was only three-point underwear inside the trench coat. But at this moment, she deliberately changed into a set of white practice clothes, pure cotton material, wide and comfortable, spotless, long hair pulled up high, high bun, long neck, completely a knowledgeable and elegant beautiful young woman.

Tea is inextricably linked to the lives of Chinese people. The combination of tea and Zen is a peculiar landscape in the history of Chinese culture. "Eat tea and go", "tea Zen taste", "harmony and respect for silence" and so on, have become the classic words of Zen tea culture. In a cup of tea, there is a sense of Zen, there is the samadhi of life, the perception of Buddhism, and the mood and taste of tea people. And at this moment, Concubine Feng Mi was completely immersed in it.

Even his eyes are no longer bewitching on weekdays, full of freshness.

"Try it, it's very simple and ordinary kung fu tea, I never care about the origin and price of tea, or what? The important thing is the mentality of the person, have you heard the saying of tea Zen? ”

Tang Lin shook his head, "I grew up in a poor family and didn't study tea, and then went to military school and then enlisted in the army, I don't know much about tea ceremony and Zen Taoism, but I can't imagine that people like you like traditional and ethnic things, which is a bit unexpected!" ”

The two of them didn't take the initiative to talk about Huang Doudou, but sat together and drank tea and talked with peace of mind, but there was no abruptness and artificiality, natural and smooth.

Concubine Feng Mi nodded slightly, looking at Tang Lin, who picked up the cup like a cow, and did not have the slightest dissatisfaction and contempt, but quickly refilled him.

"The origin of tea can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, when the great writers Sima Xiangru and Yang Xiong both mentioned tea in their works. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, after Buddhism was introduced to China, due to the needs of teachings and monk activities, tea soon formed an indissoluble fate with Buddhism. When the guests arrive, after greeting each other, they are invited to drink three cups of tea. ”

According to the record of the "Book of Tea", the monks in the temple began to use tea as a ritual for the temple to entertain guests during the two Jin Dynasty. For example, the Tanji monk often served tea to guests. Buddhists practice with tea materials, and they are the first to open a single way, Huaixin, and Fa Yao to open a taste of tea and Zen. An important activity in Buddhism is the practice of sitting meditation. Buddhists "do not eat after noon", therefore, there is a need for a kind of nutrition that not only conforms to the precepts of Buddhism, but also eliminates the fatigue caused by zazen and replenishes the "noon noon". The rich nutrients in tea and the refreshing pharmacological properties make it the most ideal drink for monks. The ancients believed that tea has "three virtues": one is to exorcise the sleeping demon, and zazen can stay awake all night; Second, it can help digestion when the stomach is full; The third is "no hair", which can inhibit all kinds of **. Therefore, drinking tea is most in line with the Buddhist lifestyle and moral concepts. ”

Speaking of this, Concubine Feng Mi raised her head and looked at Tang Lin, he was unexpectedly quiet and patient, as if he had completely forgotten that there was a little devil waiting outside. She chuckled and continued, "Zen Buddhism in China is particularly closely related to tea. Zen Buddhism began to flourish in the early Tang Dynasty, and with the popularity of Zen Buddhism, Buddhism's practice of promoting tea drinking became more popular. In the Middle Tang Dynasty, Baizhang Huaihai founded the "Baizhang Qing Rules", and since then, the tea ceremony in the temple has become more and more standardized. In the quiet and simple meditation hall, offering tea to the Buddha, treating guests with tea, and purifying the heart with tea have become the daily homework of Zen monks. For Zen monks, eating tea is like a strict meditation process, which is a characteristic of the Zen tea ceremony. ”

The Tang Dynasty Zhaozhou master called "eat tea and go", making "eating tea and going" a classic public case in Zen forest. The Book of Tea, written by Lu Yu, a tea saint in the Tang Dynasty, is the first comprehensive work on tea in Chinese history. The monk Jiaoran, who was good friends with Lu Yu, mentioned the word "tea ceremony" twice in "Tea Drinking Song". It can be said that the "Book of Tea" established the form of the tea ceremony and the philosophical spirit of the tea ceremony, while Kyaukran gave the name "tea ceremony". ”

Tang Lin nodded lightly, "These things are still too elegant for me, I only heard that there are many rules and exquisiteness in the tea ceremony, but you don't seem to be too rigid about the form, you are really strange as a woman, hehe"

Concubine Feng Mi lowered her head and held the teacup in both hands, "You mean to say that a woman who is more debauched than a prostitute is very boring and shameless to sit here and talk about tea, right?" ”

"Hehe, the tea ceremony pays attention to harmony, respect, purity and silence. Qing is clean and honest, and it is said that foreign things are also people's hearts. In the tea ceremony, it is necessary to keep the environment clean. The "open field" in the tea ceremony is a beautiful and picturesque external environment in the style of "fresh leaves in the wild garden". The "open ground" in the tea ceremony refers to the internal environment of the tea room. Calligraphy and painting, flower arrangement, cleaning of tea sets. Listening to the tea set tumbling in the boiling water is like being in the pine waves of ten thousand ravines, and it is also like listening to the hanging spring and waterfall. ”

"During the tea ceremony, everything from the cleaning of the garden to the cleaning and decoration of the tea room must be clean. New flowers are used for flower arrangement, and new tea towels are used for wiping teacups. Not only should the external objects be pure, but the mind should also be purified, and the tea should be made with a pure mood without any restraint. The eyes see the pure environment, the ears hear the tea soup in the kettle like a pine breeze, the nose smells the fragrance of tea, the tongue tastes the wonderful taste of tea, and the body touches the quiet and elegant utensils, so that you can get the feeling of seclusion. These are the six purifications. The six roots are pure, which is the Zen path and the tea ceremony. In the tea ceremony, the topic of mundane matters in society is taboo. People have to let go of the concept of vulgarity before they can enter the pure world of tea Zen. Sitting in a small tea room, you feel like you live in a deep mountain valley. The sound of boiling water in the pot is like the sound of nature blown by the pine wind, and the heart and nature become one, which is the samadhi of tea and the samadhi of Zen. ”

Tang Lin listened interestingly, stretched out his hand and touched his nose, "I understand and understand what you mean, that is, everyone actually has an unknown side, but your unknown side is pure, at least you think your body and mind are clean and clean, right?" That's right, I think there is some truth, but I'm a layman, and I'm very concerned about what you're going to do about Doudou? ”

Tang Lin finally pulled the topic back again!
