Chapter 201 Test

"Report to Teacher Tian, ​​this is Zhang Xuan, an outstanding young teacher in Hongtian College. Eight??" Liu Ling introduced.

Although Tian Lao is no longer teaching him, he is still used to calling him teacher.

A teacher for one day, a father for life.

In this world, the dignity of a teacher is very strict, even a famous teacher would not dare to violate it.

"Zhang Xuan?" Tian Lao shook his head, his face was calm, with doubts: "Isn't Lu Xun the outstanding teacher of Hongtian Academy?"

"Mr. Lu is also very good, but Mr. Zhang is not weak at all, even more than that." Liu Ling couldn't help but admire the scenes he had seen at Hongtian Academy in the past two days.

I taught students casually for ten days, and even three days of fishing and two days of drying nets didn't come. As a result... every student made rapid progress and increased their strength by leaps and bounds.

This kind of teaching achievement, not to mention ordinary teachers, even the three of them are difficult to achieve.

"Is it still worse?" Tian Lao's eyes flashed: "To get such a compliment from you shows that you are indeed capable and qualified to sit down. However, if you want to drink my tea, it is not so easy, you must pass the test."

"test?"

Zhang Xuan looked over.

I just came with Master Liu and the others, not for tea.

Besides, is your tea brewed by a fairy? Do you need to pass the test before you can drink it?

Just as he was about to open his mouth to refuse, he saw Liu Ling's eyes lit up not far away and looked over excitedly.

"Great, Teacher Zhang Xuan, this is a good opportunity, you have to seize it..."

"Chance?"

It's just a cup of tea, what's the chance?

"Being able to drink tea made by Teacher Tian is the dream of countless practitioners."

Seeing that he didn't understand, Liu Ling explained with a smile: "You may not know that Teacher Tian's tea is very particular in terms of tea leaves and tea brewing techniques."

"The one on the table now is called Jingshen Tea. There are no more than three tea trees in the entire Tianxuan Kingdom. They grow on the snow-capped mountain at the top of Mount Baizhu, and the length of sunlight exceeds eight hours a day. Because of this, when it is brewed, the aroma is fragrant. , enduring."

"It's okay to have less tea trees,

The picked leaves cannot be young or old, only the third hour after the tea tree blooms. Tea leaves at this time contain a touch of floral fragrance, combined with the coldness of Mount Everest, soaked in boiling water will give people a more beautiful enjoyment. "

"A tea tree doesn't have many leaves in the first place, and the requirements are so strict. The output of this kind of tea can be imagined. To tell you the truth, the total output of the entire Tianxuan Kingdom is only about three or two a year."

Zhang Xuan was speechless.

No wonder the other party said it so solemnly, drinking tea also has to be assessed, the rarity of this tea alone is worth it.

"Of course, the quantity is scarce. It's just that this kind of tea is precious. For practitioners, it is not an opportunity to drink it or not."

Cultivators, the most important thing is their own cultivation, no matter how delicious the tea is, it will not be less if you don’t drink it.

"The reason why it is important is because of the effect of tea! Jingshen tea has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind. Ordinary people can use it to improve sleep, restore spirit, and greatly increase energy; while martial artists can use it to achieve the state of mind like water in a short period of time. Although it is only for a short time, it will automatically exit after a short time, but it can make people feel the mystery of this state of mind in advance, which is of great help to future progress."

Master Liu continued: "Of course, light tea does not have this effect. It needs to cooperate with Teacher Tian's superb tea ceremony skills to have such ability!"

"Can you reach the state of mind as still water in a short time?"

Zhang Xuan's eyes widened.

Only when you reach the state of mind as still water, can you focus on anything you do and not be affected by other emotions.

It's like the two alchemists Meng Yan and Chen Xiao met when they were debating pills. When refining the tranquilizing pill, it was easy to control their emotions and body, resulting in the pill mutating and losing its original shape. effect.

The reason why this happens is because there is no breakthrough in the state of mind.

As long as you reach the second state, your mind is like still water, even if there are negative things in your body, you can keep your mind at peace without being affected, and refine a perfect meditation pill.

Luo Chong, the president of the Artifact Refiner Guild, reached this state. As a result, because he ate the dragon scale shrimp, he couldn't meditate every time he refining the artifact, and in the end he couldn't even do the artifact refining.

"Many cultivators don't pay attention to their state of mind and think it's useless, but that's not the case. If a warrior wants to break through the master and become an eighth-level martial artist, he must reach the second level of state of mind. Otherwise, the state of mind is impure, and no matter how he attacks, it will be difficult to grasp. The charm and artistic conception of living masters. Not only the requirements of martial artists, but also many occupations have special requirements, just like the assessment of famous teachers and magicians, who have not reached the realm of stagnant water, they are also not qualified for the assessment."

Liu Lingsheng was afraid that Zhang Xuan would not understand, so he explained it again.

"Yeah!" Zhang Xuan nodded.

Regarding the description of the state of mind, there are some records in the library of the kingdom. Once the spirit is moved, it is almost the same. It is considered to know something, not a secret.

Just because you know this, you know how difficult it is to improve your mood. Just drink a cup of tea and you can enter. Although it is short-term, it is also very scary. The effect is so great that even the meditation pill cannot do it.

No wonder the tea ceremony is so popular in the kingdom, even more than calligraphy and painting, the most important root is here.

That is to say, if the two alchemists, Meng Yan and Chen Xiao, had a cup of alchemy before concocting, they could refine the meditation pill without problems, and Zhang Xuan's defense pill might not be so easy to win.

"Even if I come here every time, I may not be able to drink tea with such an effect. Today, I still have the light of three famous teachers. Since Mr. Tian promised to give you a chance, it is absolutely hard to find a million dollars." His Majesty Shen Zhui also smiled. look over.

"I don't know what the test is?"

Zhang Xuan was a little moved and couldn't help but look over.

Although he has reached the state where his mind is still like water, it is only the most elementary level. If this tea is useful, it may make him feel at the intermediate level or even higher.

Tian Lao did not answer, but beckoned: "Let them come in too!"

The housekeeper Tian Gang nodded and walked out. It wasn't long before a few people walked in.

It was Tian Long, Lu Xun, Wang Chao, Huang Yu, Bai Xun and others.

"Lu Xun has met Elder Tian!"

Walking into the room, Lu Xun took a step forward, clasped his fists and bowed.

"Well, sit down! You and this teacher Zhang are both outstanding teachers in Hongtian College, but unfortunately there is only one cup of tea, so it can only be tested. Well, I will give you a test, and the two will compete, who will win , who is qualified to drink tea, Liu Ling, what am I saying?"

Let Lu Xun and others sit down, Tian Lao looked at Master Liu.

He was talking about drinking tea. In fact, as long as he was not stupid, he could understand what was going on.

"It turns out that this old test is fake, it is to create conditions for Lu Xun..."

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan didn't understand what was going on.

Although I don't understand why Master Liu and the others are suddenly so polite to him, but at the moment, I guess it's almost the same. I must want to accept myself as an apprentice, otherwise the three famous teachers of the dignified and full of food, and I am a low-level teacher.

This incident happened in the Tianjia Manor. As the master, Tian Lao, it is impossible to say that he did not know.

Therefore, the so-called tea drinking is fake, it may be deliberately embarrassing himself, so that Lu Xun can perform well and regain the favor of Master Liu.

Zhang Xuan didn't plan to be Master Liu's apprentice, but the other party's move made him secretly unhappy, as if he was in a cage and played by the other party.

However, it cannot be denied now.

After the teacher's evaluation came out, he was constantly being compared with Lu Xun. It seemed that he was competing for a cup of tea, but in fact he was competing for the qualification of Master Liu's apprenticeship. If he refused, he would definitely be labeled as afraid.

This Lu Xun must be more complacent.

Zhang Xuan heard the meaning, and Liu Ling naturally heard it, frowning, and his face was a little unsightly.

Obviously, this decision of Tian Lao, even he did not expect it.

However, since Teacher Tian opened his mouth, he had no choice but to nod and agree: "Okay!"

Master Liu and Zhang Xuan were a little unhappy, but Elder Tian was also full of depression.

Lu Xun was indeed mentioned in the letter from Master Liu to him before, and it was clear that he intended to be an apprentice. Because of this, he specially invited him and deliberately prepared an extra cup of tea. When he came over, the fake assessment was actually for the convenience of introduction.

Who knows... Lu Xun didn't come, Zhang Xuan came first.

And looking at Master Liu's attitude, it should be that he fell in love with this teacher Zhang, gave up Lu Xun, and let the things he prepared in advance fail, naturally a little unhappy.

So this test was temporarily made.

Otherwise, I told Lu Xun in advance, and as a result, he couldn't become an apprentice, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

"Lu Xun obeys Tian Lao's arrangement!"

He also understood what the other party meant, Lu Xun's face was happy, and he clasped his fists and opened his mouth.

"Since there is a test, there must be content. I don't know what to test?"

Knowing that he cannot refuse, Zhang Xuan is no longer entangled.

"You guys are here to drink tea, of course you have to discuss the tea ceremony!" Tian Long on the side hummed.

"Tea ceremony?" Zhang Xuan frowned.

"Mr. Zhang has never been in touch with the tea ceremony, and testing the tea ceremony must be biased!" Huang Yu couldn't help but speak.

She had more contact with this teacher Zhang. The other party was a master of calligraphy and painting, but she didn't know anything about the tea ceremony. Even before talking to him today, she had never heard of it.

To test the tea ceremony of someone who knows nothing about the tea ceremony?

Isn't this deliberately embarrassing?

Moreover, as far as she knows, Lu Xun has specialized in the tea ceremony. Although he is not as good as Tian Long, he has actually listened to Tian Lao's lectures. Seems unfair.

"If you want to become an apprentice of a famous teacher, it is inevitable to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable. You should be involved in various occupations... Tea ceremony is one of the nine-class occupations, which is popular in the whole kingdom. How could it not be, I don't understand? If Teacher Zhang, what is it really? Nope, I'm sorry, I had to drink this cup of tea..."

Lu Xun smiled lightly, his eyes showed confidence, and his face was full of elegance.

Demo, fight with me, see if I can't kill you.

"That's right, if you don't even know the tea ceremony, what kind of apprentice would you be a famous teacher? If you take the initiative to admit defeat, it's a shame!" Wang Chao said.

I lost face just now, find an opportunity, and immediately retaliate.

"Okay, although I only heard about the tea ceremony today, but you can learn it now, how to test it, let's start right away!" Seeing the other party's stinky appearance, Zhang Xuan shook his head.

Since someone wants to slap in the face, give them a slap in the face.

Although he had only heard about the tea ceremony today, there were seven or eight rows of books on the tea ceremony in the Kingdom Library, with as many as tens of thousands of books.

I just kept it in the Tiandao Library before, and I didn't observe or study it. Now...it's time to read it.

(To be continued.)
