Chapter 1424 I want Shifeng Mountain, let Huiling make an offer

"Thank you, master, but where is the tea tree in the master's mouth?"

It has almost reached the place Hongren said.

There are many shrubs around, but none of them look like tea trees.

Monk Hongren was obviously taken aback.

He said a little depressed: "Why does Mr. Liu want to please the poor monk?"

"Why did Liu ever do this?"

Hong Ren stroked his bald head, and said puzzledly: "The purpose of Mr. Liu is not Lingyin Temple?"

Liu Bai looked at him with a half-smile.

Is this fat monk crazy?

No matter how busy I am, I don't have the heart to go to the temple to play.

If it wasn't for those few tea trees, who would have come all the way to this barren mountain?

Liu Bai told Hong Ren the whole story.

After Hong Ren finished listening, he opened his mouth in surprise for a long time.

"Are you really here to find tea?!"

Liu Bai said: "Is there anything wrong?"

He had long since discovered that Hongren's thinking was wrong.

Like Zhu Zihong, this is a person who is used to using his ingenuity to make up everything.

Even more the same as Zhu Zihong, what Hongren thought and said was wrong, and Liu Bai discovered some unknown secrets.

The fat monk thought that he went to Lingyin Temple to use the power of Jiangnan Buddhism to deal with those big families.

It seems that when I am in a hurry in the future, I have to go out and walk around more, maybe I will run into something

"The poor monk is rude"

Hong Ren gave a wry smile, looking at Liu Bai with a bit more resentment.

This Mr. Liu is a master who pretends to be ignorant while pretending to be ignorant.

Knowing that he was wrong, he even induced himself to tell the truth in his heart.

How unkind!

"What the poor monk said just now was just a joke, I hope Mr. Liu will not take it to heart!"

Liu Bai smiled and said, "If you tell Liu, where are those tea trees!"

"Also invite the young master to come with the poor monk!"

The two of them moved forward again, and walked around for half a stick of incense.

Pushing aside a dense forest, Liu Bai was pleasantly surprised to find that not far away were several tea trees as tall as half a person!

Unlike the improved species of later generations, the current tea tree is just an ordinary group species.

If it weren't for an expert like Liu Bai, outsiders would see it as no different from ordinary shrubs.

Only those who love tea know how precious wild tea trees are!

Most of the crops that people eat have been improved and domesticated for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, before they can be put on people's tables.

Undomesticated crops are either poisonous or have no edible parts at all.

Even some crops are simply varieties created by people through hybridization.

Now there are many wild tea trees, especially in Lingnan and Jiannan.

Just find a ravine, and there are wild ancient tea trees as high as three or four feet everywhere!

There are experienced mountain people who can pick wild tea and use it to fill their stomachs and cure diseases.

If a person who doesn't understand anything sees a certain wild tea tree and picks it rashly to drink, it is pure courting death!

The tea culture in Lingnan and Jiannan has been prevalent for hundreds of years.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was already a legend about the god of tea.

In other words, the tea tree species there have been improved for hundreds of years.

On the contrary, the further you go to the hinterland of the Central Plains, the shorter the incubation time of tea culture.

There are very few wild teas that can be directly quoted

"one two Three"

Liu Bai counted carefully several times, his heart was pounding!

A full fifty or so!

As a native of Guanzhong, he is proud of the products of Guanzhong.

But it is undeniable that the tea produced in Guanzhong is far inferior to that in the south.

At that time, he used the tea from Guanzhong, and in the name of Liu Yexuan, he set off a frenzy of drinking tea.

Now that there is Longjing, and it is ancestral Longjing, then its value

Regardless of the economic value, Liu Bai himself is a tea lover, even if he drinks it by himself, this trip is worth the money!

The only pity is that this year has passed the deadline for tea picking.

The taste of autumn tea is not as good as one percent of spring tea

The next wave of germination will have to wait at least until around Qingming next year.

Hongren was a little afraid.

From Liu Bai's eyes, he saw a kind of extreme fanaticism.

"Come here!"

Liu Bai shouted to the back.

Xu Chu took the lead and quickly came to Liu Bai's side, looking at Hongren warily.

Hongren had no choice but to smile wryly.

Chai Lingwu was the second to come.

When he saw these fifty or so tea trees, he froze in place!

After waiting for Xuanzang and others to come over, he rushed over.

"catch him!"

Liu Bai hurriedly ordered Xu Chu.

Xu Chu stretched out his hand to copy, and directly lifted Chai Lingwu up in mid-air.

Chai Lingwu yelled, scratching his feet, "Let me go! Let me go!"

Liu Bai ignored him and went straight to Xuanzang.

"I want Shifeng Mountain, let Huiling make an offer!"

"This"

Xuanzang was quite at a loss.

Shifeng Mountain is indeed owned by Lingyin Temple.

Although it is not the main line of the temple, it is also the place where the monks in the temple live.

The main reason is that Shifeng Mountain is in the very center of the entire forest.

In the future, if the monks in the temple want to communicate with the outside world, they may have to walk a day or two on the mountain road.

After all, if Shifeng Mountain is owned by Liu Bai, it is impossible for him to allow others to come up again

At this time, Han Shanzi pulled Xuanzang's clothes and said, "Young Master Liu, this poor monk should discuss with the Buddha for a while!"

Liu Bai couldn't wait any longer, and asked them to discuss it quickly.

Even if the lion of Lingyin Temple speaks loudly, he still wants to get Shifeng Mountain.

If they don't give it, Liu Bai doesn't mind resorting to violence.

I don't know what the two said, but after a while, they called Hong Ren over again.

Yuan Shoucheng listened with his ears up for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why.

Smash it, smash your mouth, and walk to those tea trees.

He picked off a leaf casually, spread it out in the palm of his hand, and began to observe it carefully.

He was probably thinking in his mind, is there any treasure in Taoist sect that is worthy of Liu Bai's heart.

Exchanging a mountain for a promise from Liu Bai is simply a lucrative deal!

Chai Lingwu also stopped.

After being put down by Xu Chu, he walked forward slowly, as if he was afraid of scaring the tea trees.

Seeing Yuan Shoucheng pick off a leaf, he gave it a hard look.

"Although the picking period has passed, the leaves are still fresh and tender. It is best to pick one bud and one leaf when the buds are just opening."

He stroked the leaves lovingly.

See an aphid, slowly climb up.

Chai Lingwu pulled it off, crushed it to death, threw it on the ground and stomped on it several times.

It seemed that this little bug had defiled the sacred object in his heart.

"No, I'll send a message to Zhang Wei and ask him to send troops to garrison Shifeng Mountain. Damn, whoever dares to snatch these tea trees from me, I will kill him all!"

Chapter 1425 You, old monk, are one of the most transparent people in Buddhism

An hour later, everyone came to Lingyin Temple opposite Feilai Peak.

Since it is necessary to discuss the ownership of Shifeng Mountain, it is always necessary to have a face-to-face chat with the owner of Shifeng Mountain.

Zen Master Huiling warmly received Liu Bai and others.

What Liu Bai didn't expect was that Zen Master Huiling was very warm to Han Shanzi, but he didn't seem to be very friendly to Xuanzang.

Even Yuan Shoucheng is more enthusiastic than Xuanzang!

Lingyin Temple is a large temple, which was built in the first year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and has a history of more than [-] years.

Located in the deep mountains, Lingyin Temple has avoided many wars.

It's a pity that Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty still couldn't escape the act of exterminating Buddha.

Standing in the spacious courtyard, you can vaguely see the traces left by the burning years ago.

The extermination of Buddhism more than 50 years ago was a fatal blow to Buddhism.

At that time, I don't know how many Buddhist disciples secretly returned to vulgarity, taking away the Buddhist treasures left by the predecessors.

In the Hall of the Medicine Master, on the head of the Liuli Buddha statue of the Medicine Master, there were originally a pair of emerald Buddha eyes bestowed by Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan, but now, there are only two fist-sized black holes left.

The biggest difference between Lingyin Temple and later generations is that there is an extra stupa for the gods and nuns.

Among them, the nun Zhixian who once benefited Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was enshrined.

On the lower side of the tower is a forest of steles commemorating the sages of Lingyin Temple.

Zen Master Huiling is older than Han Shanzi.

According to what he meant, he was three years older than Yuan Shoucheng!

"The Zen master is over eighty years old?!"

Standing outside the Hall of Heavenly Kings, Liu Bai looked at Zen Master Huiling in surprise.
