White tea legend

Chapter 3 Changing your name and destiny

Ever since Lu Yu brought Ku Tu to the heaven three hundred years ago, there have been constant disputes in the Herb Garden, with the two groups of plants and trees clashing from time to time.

Tianjun and Li Yi, the medical gods, could not be partial to either the grass or the wood. Unable to make a decision, they asked the gods and Buddhas for their opinions.

Due to the Buddhas of Mount Xumi and the Eastern Mudeqing Emperor, none of the gods and Buddhas in the heavens were willing to speak lightly. In the end, Taibai Jinxing came up with an idea and said: Tea is a bitter vegetable and should belong to the vegetable department.

But, how could Lu Yu and Chun Mang be willing?

The head of the food department, Gao Lanying, is a goddess with a slim waist and a graceful figure. Even though she usually wears a silver crown, a thousand-leaf dragon scale armor, and is dressed as a warrior god, one would think that she is brave and energetic, but she is actually a The master who is best at judging the situation and observing the situation.

The Caibu is relatively weak among the Sixteenth Part of the Baicao Garden. It is not as powerful as the Caobu and Mubu. No matter whether Gao Lanying offends the Caobu or Mubu, it is not cost-effective. However, Tianjun made the decision, and Gao Lanying reluctantly accepted it. I had no choice but to accept Kutu.

Unexpectedly, the day after Kutu arrived at Caibu, he made Caibu's chickens and dogs restless. Poisonous black snakes, spiders, scorpions, and stone fish crawled out of nowhere, and gathered around Kutu, releasing bursts of black smoke and poisonous miasma. , all 61 herbs in the vegetable department were poisoned, wilted and withered, it was terrible to see.

This was an unheard-of strange thing in the heaven. Gao Lanying was so frightened that she sent Ku Tu back to Lingxiao Palace, saying that "poisons attract each other, and all living beings are devastated." She asked Tianjun to take back his life and give the 61 herb masters in the vegetable department a way to survive.

Why did poison suddenly appear in the heaven? It is rumored that Gao Lanying played a cruel trick in order not to offend Kusanabe and Kibe. However, the herb essences of Kabe were unable to detoxify for a long time. Gao Lanying was like an ant on a hot pot, running around in panic, and even the entire Baicao Garden. You could hear her howling in the kitchen for three days and three nights, until her voice became hoarse, and the rumors stopped.

Since then, Kutu has been regarded as an unlucky thing, and everyone avoids it. Many gods and immortals have advised the Lord of Heaven to expel Kutu from heaven and release it to the lower world, so as to restore peace to the heaven.

Kusanabe and Kibe both stood up at that time and stood on the same front.

The miracle doctor Lu Yu said, if Kutu is really an ominous thing and is released to the lower world to cause harm to the human world, is it the responsibility of the heavenly world?
  Lu Yu's retreat was echoed by Chun Mang, who said that when Ku Tu was in Cao Bei and Mu Be, everything was fine. Only when he went to Cai Bei did he cause poison. The problem should be with Cai Bei, not Ku Tu. .

After hearing this, Gao Lanying naturally disagreed and argued that before Ku Tu arrived at Cai Department, Cai Department was fine. It was only after Ku Tu arrived at Cai Department that something happened to Cai Department. The problem naturally lies with Ku Tu.

The heads of the three departments were arguing endlessly, so much so that the Tianjuns in the Lingxiao Palace had to raise a question to distract the heads of the three departments, saying that the top priority was how to treat the 61 resentful herb essences in the vegetable department, instead of What to do with Kutu.

Lu Yu and Chun Mang immediately agreed to this task from Tianjun and returned to Baicao Garden to study for three days and three nights before they developed a set of detoxification prescriptions and finally cured the herb essences in the vegetable department.

Doctor Li Yi inspected the crystallization of the wisdom of his two apprentices and found that there was nothing clever about it. It was just an extra ingredient than the usual antidote: bud core.

I don't know what this is.

Lu Yu held a green plant in front of Medical God Li Yi, but saw that the shape of the plant's growth was very similar to the word "tea" in Kutu, but there was one missing painting, and it only showed the shape of the word "tea".

What is the word "tea"? Doctor Li Yi has never seen it before.

Lu Yu told the truth: the bud core used as a medicine guide was taken from Ku Tu. This bud core was different from other bud cores. Other bud cores were upright, but this bud core was lying horizontally. Remove this bud core, and from now on the bitter tea will no longer be bitter tea, but "tea", it will no longer attract poisonous insects, it will no longer be a bitter herb, it will no longer be an ominous thing, it will remain in the heaven, and there will no longer be gods or Buddhas. There are objections.

Lu Yu also saw that the remaining bud cores on the green plants were all standing upright like needles, covered with white hairs, as silver as snow, so he added the word "white" in front of the word "tea".

Since then, Kucha has a new name: white tea. Listening to Bai Cha reminisce about the past, Li Yi, the miracle doctor, pointed at Lu Yu and sighed to Bai Cha: "When Cangjie created the Chinese character, one stem with two buds was tea, one stem was wood, and two buds were grass. You are the wood." It’s nothing, but I, the fifth disciple, made the choice for you three hundred years ago.”

Bai Cha was surprised when he heard this and looked at Lu Yu. Monk Zhang Er was also confused.

Just listen to the medical god Li Yi say: "Lu Yu gave you to Mube three hundred years ago, and he didn't even know it."

Even Chunmang was confused by Li Yi's words.

Li Yi, the medical doctor, had no choice but to solve the mystery himself, "Yu means comfort in speech. In the human way, Yu means stretching, which is the way a person feels proud and proud; in the way of nature, the fourth month is surplus, and in April, all things are born. It is the season when living beings are at their most relaxed. Shi Huang has four eyes and a pair of more discerning eyes than us. Naturally, he wants to see the deeper meaning that we cannot see. As the saying goes, things must be reversed when they are extreme. If you don't see it, those with extreme wisdom will be hurt, and those with deep love will be hurt. I didn't live long, so I put a straw on top of the word "Yu" and turned it into the word "Tu". Tea means bitterness, bitterness means tea, bitter tea is bitter tea, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and vain efforts have no shore. How can it be a word bitter? have to?"

The hoarse and old voice of Medical God Li Yi is like a pair of weathered hands opening the gate of white tea memory:
  I vaguely remember that she spent countless years in the desert of Mount Sumeru, enduring the harsh environment of extreme cold and heat, and even endured boundless loneliness and loneliness that were thousands of times more terrifying than the harsh environment.

In extreme despair, she didn't know who she was, where she was, whether she was alive or dead, and she even doubted whether she really existed between heaven and earth...

Born as tea, it is bitter.

Fortunately, one day, an immortal in white passed by and ended her miserable situation.

However, in heaven, she still could not change Kutu's fate.

Tianjun ordered her to join the kitchen department, and the sudden swarm of poisons entangled her tightly, letting her know that Kutu's fate was to be with the most poisonous, bad, ugliest, and evil in the world, without sunlight, warmth, or warmth. If you are clean, you will not be kind. What you will get is jealousy, slander, exclusion, reprimand, and expulsion...

Born as tea, it is bitter.

Until the immortal in white plucked out the miserable core of her body, changed her name, and changed her life.

Over the past three hundred years, she has found a few inches of stability in the blue and white porcelain pot in Baicao Garden.

Thinking of this, Bai Cha couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's face looked solemn.

He seemed to have realized something from the words of Medical God Li Yi.

"Master, now that white tea is no longer bitter tea, why are you mentioning bitter tea?" Chunmang is impatient and just wants to urge the medical doctor Li Yi to make a ruling as soon as possible so that the white tea can be cut off from Mube. "Master, you just Should I go to Kusakabe or Kibe for white tea?"

Li Yi took a deep look at Lu Yu, with a concealed compassion on his face: "Let your sixth brother tell you whether white tea should go to Cao Bei or Mu Bei. He already made his choice three hundred years ago. "

Chun Mang turned his attention to Lu Yu, but Lu Yu said nothing. He reached out and patted Chun Mang's shoulder and walked out, not even daring to look at Bai Cha.
