"No, no, I was just thinking about something and was a little distracted…"
It took Ju Jingyi quite a while to calm down, and she slowly shook her head.
She did not know why she was in a daze.
Ye Qiu didn't mind. After all, he only knew how to communicate with others. He didn't know how to read other people's minds.
" Shi Tou, pack up and prepare to go back…" Ye Qiu called out to the little monkey.
Looking at this little fellow's despondent appearance, his memory should have grown.
Squeak squeak!
Hearing Ye Qiu's words, the little guy felt a weight lifted off his shoulders. He immediately slipped out of Zhang Zifeng's arms.
After landing on the ground, he squeaked at Zhang Zifeng and made a face.
Then, he picked up his axe and quickly ran over to Ye Qiu.
"Gentlemen, it's still early. Why don't we sit in the Taoist temple..."
Ye Qiu grabbed a withered tree with one hand and turned around to greet Ju Jing Yi and the others.
"Heavens, Master Ye Qiu is too awesome! Two dead trees! At least a few dozen catties each, right? He actually lifted them up with one hand!”
"Kungfu! Ye Qiu's master must have learned martial arts. This was too amazing!”
"Oh my god, did I watch a fake show? Is this a fantasy TV series?”
Everyone was stunned by Ye Qiu's actions.
Only the little monkey looked at Director Wang and the others with disdain.
Weren't they just two trees? Was there a need to be so surprised?
" Thank you, Master Ye Qiu…" After a while, Director Wang finally came back to his senses.
It was a must to go up the mountain. After all, his purpose today was to ask Daoist Priest Qing Feng for a favor.
Ye Qiu nodded and didn't waste any time. He dragged the two withered trees in the direction he came from and walked towards the small path.
Ju Jing Yi and the other two followed behind him. They walked toward the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain in a daze.
What happened today seemed to be too surreal.
As they walked further and further away, the few of them arrived not far from the Taoist temple.
The Taoist temple was called the Temple of One Heart, and it was located on the mountainside of Yiwang Mountain.
After the morning, the mountain would be covered by a thick layer of white fog with the Monstrous Temple as the boundary.
Only when the sun rose would the peak of the mountain in the thick fog reveal its true appearance.
This was also the origin of the name Yiwang Mountain.
Following the winding path, Ye Qiu dragged the two withered trees and walked straight to the back of the Taoist temple.
There was a well-built wooden shed there, and there was a stone block outside for chopping firewood.
" Phew, we're finally here. I'm so tired…" Ju Jingyi and the others also arrived.
The three of them sized up the entire Taoist temple. It looked a little dilapidated.
The houses and walls of the entire temple were made of bluestone. The green tiles on the roof were covered with moss after the baptism of time.
Above the main gate of the Taoist temple, there was a plaque with the words " One Heart and One Mind ". It looked very old, as if it could fall at any time.
"Scholars, please come in…"
Ye Qiu and the little monkey quickly walked back and pushed open the door of the Taoist temple.
A simple and unadorned aura came from the Taoist temple.
There was also a faint tea fragrance mixed in.
"It smells so good. This tea tree is really special…"
Zhang Zifeng and Ju Jing Yi were the first to enter the Taoist temple. The most attractive thing was the huge tea tree that was about ten feet tall.
The entire tree trunk rose from the ground. From afar, it looked like a giant tree that soared into the sky. Like a dragon.
The rough bark was the scales, and the thick branches were the dragon claws.
The faint fragrance of tea permeated the air. Just a light sniff seemed to clear one's mind.
"Heavenly Lord Limitless, this tea tree is called Dao Comprehension. There was once a legend that the Western Buddhist Sect spread their teachings to the East and discussed the Dao with the ancestors of the Dao Sect under the tea tree.”
" After sitting for seven days, one will finally comprehend the Great Dao and ascend to Buddha. That's why the Comprehension Tea Tree is also called the Bodhi Tree…"
Ye Qiu looked at the tea tree indifferently.
The tea ceremony was inseparable, which meant that tea trees were also an indispensable part of Taoism.
In China, the tea ceremony was also one of the most important national cultures.
" Wow, Master Ye Qiu sure knows a lot. So tea trees have such legends…" Zhang Zifeng looked at Ye Qiu with admiration.
Ju Jingyi's eyes also flashed with a strange light. This young Taoist was too special, as if he knew everything.
Unknowingly, it would make people sink into it.
Ye Qiu smiled. The concept of the integration of Heaven and man silently spread out with him as the center.
" As the culture of the Great Xia Kingdom, the Way of Tea originated from the Shennong period. After thousands of years of development, it is no longer just a culture. It is also the inheritance of the quintessence of the country…"
" Daoist tea symbolizes nature. A cup of tea is hidden in the body, and the lid of the cup is the sky and the earth. It is also in line with the Daoist idea of the unity of heaven and man…"
“……”
A faint voice slowly drifted out of Ye Qiu's mouth. The few people in the courtyard were the most affected, and they were stunned under the three-meter-tall Comprehension Tea Tree.
It was as if he had experienced the path of tea culture from ancient times to the present.
“6666! Master Ye Qiu is amazing. He actually knows so much. I really didn't expect that tea trees have such legends…"
"F * ck, doesn't that mean that if we drink more tea and read more Daoist scriptures, we can also cultivate?”
"It's really amazing. This tea tree should be decades old, right? It's really rare to see such a big one. Moreover, the leaves are so green. The tea brewed must be very thick…"
" So the Way of Tea and Taoism have so many connections. I was wondering why most Taoists like to drink tea…"
“……”
Gradually, everyone's gaze gathered on the tea tree in the courtyard.
For the first time, they learned about the tea ceremony culture of their own country.
Unknowingly, Ye Qiu looked at the tea tree with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
After the old Taoist priest adopted him, he found this Taoist temple that no Taoist priest had ever returned to because of the war.
He planted this tea tree.
However, with the death of the old Taoist priest, the tea tree also withered and lost its vitality.
It was only after he obtained the National Quintessence Master System that he used incense to buy a drop of plant essence that the tea tree was revived.
It was rejuvenated.
It was a pity that the old Taoist priest had left too early. Otherwise, he might have been able to live for another two years if he had consumed a drop of plant essence.
