Swallow Back

"Oh..." Only then did Liu Yun realize it, but he couldn't help itching: "What kind of shop is so powerful? Even the eminent monks from Enryakuji Temple in Hiei Mountain couldn't help..."

"Cough, cough, cough!" The middle-aged shopkeeper hurriedly coughed and interrupted: "This can't be spread around! I only heard that a nearby monk went there to preach, but he never dared to name him. Temple."

"Understood." Liu Yun understood: "If you don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors!"

"Exactly!" The middle-aged shopkeeper showed a look of approval: "Don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors, you are so right."

"Okay!" Liu Yun showed a little impatient meaning: "Speaking of which, where is the best store?"

"Aha..." The middle-aged shopkeeper took the money, turned sane again, and stretched out his hand: "Across a street, the shop called 'Xi Chuanwu' is said to be a wine house, but in fact the drinks are expensive and expensive. Inferior, but the girl who sells wine is good, with good qualifications and good skills."

Liu Yun shook his head when he heard the words: "The girl who sells wine? It's not professional at first, is there anything else?"

"Well..." The middle-aged shopkeeper thought for a moment, then turned his finger: "Go out to the left, two or three hundred steps ahead and then to the left, you can see a casino. There is a real gambling scene outside, and there is another mystery inside... There are full-time staff there, but the fees are a little higher.”

Liu Yun still shook his head: "It's a casino outside, isn't it very noisy? No, no!"

"This is just..." The middle-aged shopkeeper showed a look of embarrassment: "These two are already the signatures of our Otsu Town. As long as they don't travel all over the world to raise their tastes, they will say yes when they go..."

"It's just that I've traveled far and wide, and I've cultivated my taste!" Liu Yun opened his mouth and came, without the slightest guilty conscience.In fact, he himself is very pure. He has only heard of that kind of thing, or seen it in educational videos. He has no practical experience at all.

When it came to this topic, the middle-aged shopkeeper rolled his eyes, as if he was not convinced, raised his hand and stroked his beard, and asked politely and restrainedly: "You said that you have traveled a lot...I don't know where you have been? What have you seen? How clever? Can you tell me and listen? Of course, it's not that I don't believe you, I just want to open my eyes..."

Liu Yunxin said that this is not difficult for me. In my previous life, counseling was so developed that even if it was something I had never experienced before, I could know one or two from the Internet.

So he lowered his voice and made a gesture: "Have you ever been to this place in Higashidate Town? Ice and Fire Double Layer, do you know what it means?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper looked bewildered, apparently he had never heard of it.But as a real old driver, he is quite imaginative in this respect. Seeing Liu Yun's gestures, he thought for a moment, guessed a little bit of fur, and immediately awe: "Senior! You are definitely a senior! It's just this. Where is Higashidate Town? How come I never heard of it?"

Liu Yun shook his head, pretending to be lofty: "This... is actually just a synonym. Without regulars to lead the way, strangers will never find the location."

The middle-aged shopkeeper sighed: "Since that's the case, I can only name the most powerful part of our Otsu Town, and it's worthy of your attention! But compared to the 'Higashidate Town' you said, I'm afraid it's still a little inferior. "

Only then did Liu Yun show a satisfied look, and nodded, hiding his merit and fame.

The middle-aged shopkeeper pondered for a while, looked left and right to see that there was no one on either side, and approached Fu's ear: "Our entire Otsu Town, the most spacious house in the middle, you will definitely notice when you go there. Although on the surface, it looks like that Business has nothing to do with it... But when you walk in the door, you directly say you want to drink this year's new tea. If you ask how much you want, say at least a pound. If you ask what jar you use, say you don't need it, drink it on the spot. , people will know the meaning. That place, I dare not compare with the 'Guandong Town' you said, at least it is the best I have ever seen!"

Liu Yun nodded and wrote down these "passwords".Then he complained: "I think this is a legitimate business, and it's not a shameful thing! Why is it so troublesome? Are you afraid that someone will fail?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper showed a wretched smile, and lowered his voice a little: "After all, next to it is a temple that has been passed down for almost 1000 years! There are always some unkind people in the temple, who say they are going to do something like 'purge Gangji'." Kind of like that. That’s why eminent monks still don’t dare to openly invite women to preach the Buddha’s righteousness…”

Liu Yun nodded in understanding, and then took out a broken piece of silver from his arms.

The innkeeper's eyes suddenly straightened, and he hurriedly reached out to pick it up.

However, Liu Yun shook his hand again, took the silver pellets back, shook his head and said, "To be honest, I have no other interests, just this hobby. If it is really satisfactory, I will be grateful tomorrow."

Chapter 42 I am a man!

Liu Yun asked for a while, only to know that the town at the foot of Mount Hiei, adjacent to the west bank of Lake Biwa, was originally called "Otsu Town".

This town is densely populated with many businesses dealing in bulk goods, as well as corresponding warehouses, but it seems that there are not many small shops that operate retail.

There are not many pedestrians on the road at night.

For a trade base with a relatively small permanent population (visual observation), it is normal.

Most of the shops are closed, so street lighting is sparse.

However, Liu Yun's eyesight is far superior to ordinary people, so there is no need to worry about it being too dark.

According to the instructions of the owner of the lodge, I walked to the center of "Otsu Town", and I found a row of very wide and deep houses. The facades were several feet wide. There were only two swaying lanterns hanging on the walls.

With the dim light, Liu Yun saw at a glance that there was a strange emblem pattern engraved on the door, and the three Chinese characters "Acupoint Taizhong".

The organization of too many acupoints, the Shame game has appeared in the impression, it seems to be specialized in construction, right?

Do you also work part-time in a special industry?But never heard of it...

With questions, Liu Yun came to the door.

There were two men in blue clothes, wearing heavy winter clothes, huddled under the eaves and strolling back and forth.

Seeing someone come to the door, one of them immediately said: "It's so late, the writer and the masters have rested. If there is anything, come back tomorrow!"

This also makes sense.

Whose construction hire workers don't talk about it during the day?

But Liu Yun came here this time, don't have his picture.

He tentatively said the connection code from the shopkeeper of the dormitory: "I'm here to drink tea. I heard that there is new tea this year?"

The two blue-clothed men were stunned for a moment, and then asked, "How much tea do you want?"

That's right!

I thought that such a bastard's password must be wrong.

Liu Yun said, "At least a pound of tea is needed."

After listening to such absurd conversation, the other party was not surprised, and continued to ask, "Is this pound of tea in a silk bag or a porcelain jar for you?"

Liu Yun waved his hand and said, "No need to pretend, I'll finish drinking here tonight."

The blue-clothed man said again: "A pound of tea is not cheap..."

Liu Yun immediately took out three small silver beads weighing more than a tael from his arms.

When the two blue-clothed men saw this thing, they immediately took it inside: "It turned out to be introduced by an old customer, please come in! Tonight is just right, hehe... Not many people come to drink tea, you can choose slowly... "

"Oh! That's just a coincidence." Liu Yun strode in, smiled, and then expressed regret again: "Actually, it's a beautiful thing to meet your peers and share your experience of drinking tea together."

The two blue-clothed men heard this and sneered: "So you like to drink tea with friends... However, we have some distinguished guests who come here often, and only love a person's pure and delicate tea, if that kind of distinguished guest I'm here, but I can't accept new guests."

Liu Yun let out a "huh", frowned and asked, "Everyone is a fellow who likes to drink tea, why don't you let strangers in? It's too much!"

The two men in blue looked at each other and said with a smile, "No way, the status of the distinguished guest is special, and safety is important! They are busy drinking tea, and I don't want too many people to know about it."

Liu Yun pretended to be thinking hard, and tentatively speculated: "The distinguished guests in your neighborhood... Is it the eminent monk Dade from Enryakuji Temple in Hiei Mountain?"

After hearing this, the two men in blue, one hehe, the other haha, laughed awkwardly for a long time, and then waved their hands together to deny: "Don't dare to talk nonsense, don't dare to talk nonsense! This whole Otsu Town is a tribute to Yanli Temple. Only by blessing can you do business. A word in the temple can make the merchants close the shop and leave, but don’t dare to talk nonsense!”

Liu Yun smiled without saying a word, and followed the person leading the way.

So far, so far, this is like a curious traveler, and it would be a bit too much to say more.

……

Walking into the base of the "too many acupoints", turning to the side door, following the path that twists and turns, and after a long turn, I came to a brightly lit patio.

In the patio, there is a popular "dry landscape" pattern, and the landscape is made of mounds of rock and sand.After that, there is a row of traditional Japanese-style holidays. From the outside, it is clean and chic, with ambiguous lights.

Liu Yunxin said that the meat of the show is here.

The people who led the way stopped here, and asked them to bring clean water and a towel over to help Liu Yun wash his hands and face, and wipe off the mud and dust on his legs and feet.

Then he smiled and said, "Please come in and wait."

Liu Yun chose the first house in the front.

Pushing open the door and entering, the sight of...

Is it really a tea room?

About the area of ​​six tatami mats, there is a stove and tea in the middle, and the effect is very good.

There is no extra furniture on the four sides, except for a cabinet recessed into the wall, which is a complete set of tea ceremony utensils except for the Buddhist niche.

Tea bottle, tea in, tea kettle, tea spoon, tea cup, tea pot, tea bowl, white charcoal, water injection...

But no bedding and toiletries.

Liu Yun was a little confused. Could this place really study the tea ceremony?

Or, it's purely cosplay gameplay.

After a short while, there was movement outside.

A figure appeared on the paper door, said a "nuisance", and only opened the door and entered after getting permission.

She was a pretty girl of about 20 years old, with light makeup on, and a plain black and white hunting suit.

When he saw this person, Liu Yun knew that he was right.

It's really just cosplay.

Because according to the fashionable traditional culture, women are not allowed to set foot on the occasion of the serious tea ceremony.

Not to mention wearing formal male hunting clothes.

In a dynasty with strict rules, the charge of beheading is enough.That is to say, in the Warring States period, when rituals collapsed and music was broken, it was not important.

Liu Yun thought to himself, I am here to try to infiltrate the monastery, but I can't make a big mistake in order to keep myself clean.

Therefore, it will be time to act accordingly.It really doesn't work, probably I can only deal with it on the spot.

Then he showed a meaningful smile, sat lazily, pretending to be an old driver in his chest, waiting for the other party to operate.

Then, seeing the pretty girl who came in from outside the door, she solemnly took out the tea set from the cupboard, and said while placing it, "I heard that the guest officer specially came to our acupuncture point all night, just to taste tea, It's a great honor. I'm not good at learning, if I make mistakes, please forgive me."

Then, he first played with the stove and the flower, and explained: "The first step in tasting tea is to create the most appropriate environment to make the guests feel at ease. These specially selected dried flowers are the most suitable."

Then, sitting on his knees and carefully igniting the white charcoal, he slowly poured the water he brought into the kettle, waiting for it to be heated, and said at the same time, "The water for ordering tea and the charcoal for boiling water are all selected from thousands of choices. Layman Qian Lixiu used almost the same."

Afterwards, when the water was boiled, he took out the tea bottle, opened the lid gently, took a very small spoonful, put it on the tea cup slowly, and introduced: "Please look at the guest, tea is about to be ordered. The tea ceremony Success or failure depends on this.”

Liu Yun was a little impatient to wait, and frowned, "Is this really a formal and professional tea ceremony?"

The pretty tea master on the opposite side smiled sweetly and said, "If not, how dare you welcome the distinguished guests?"

Hearing this, Liu Yun couldn't help but complain: "It's unprofessional enough to ask the female tea master to order tea! No matter how other places imitate it, it won't be formal!"

As soon as this statement came out, the pretty tea master on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head with a blushing face and said, "The guest officer has misunderstood, although I look like a woman and sound like a woman, in fact, I am an uncompromising man!"

"This...how is this possible?" Liu Yun was shocked.

The tea master's blushing face showed a sad look, he grabbed his belt with his hand, and said weakly and timidly: "Even if you doubt it, I can't refute it. Although they are all men, in this tea room full of Zen, absolutely cannot. Bare body for you to see!"

"I didn't even want to watch it!"

An old blood was about to come out of Liu Yun's heart.

If I really pull out something, I'm afraid that my eyes will be irritated!

Liu Yun only felt an aversion to the cold behind him.

Although he is a time traveler and comes from the 21st century, his personal orientation is relatively conservative, and he definitely does not have the spirit of knowing and welcoming men.
