[Original God_Zhong Li's personal orientation] Changhe

"Blame me, blame me," said the man making tea, wiping the dishes vigorously in the basin, "I didn't listen to the old man's advice and opened the inn in this kind of place. The Wangshu Inn is to the north, and Liyue Port is to the south. I am alone. The small inn is right in the middle, whether high or low..."

He held up the towel in his hand, "Could it be that I really have to go home and inherit the three jade mines?"

I coughed violently.

Zhongli didn't feel much about these, so he patted my back, put cold water in front of me, and asked, "What kind of mine?"

This is the nearest tea stall to Luhua Lake.The owner's surname is Zhu, and he is the one who is wiping the dishes beside him while waiting for the water to boil.

Boss Zhu scratched his head, picked up the plate under his hand, and pushed it in front of Zhongli.

"That's it," he added, "it might be Shi Po. I often saw Shi Po being dug out by them when I was young."

After hearing this, Zhong Li laughed: "Pure rock elements are condensed, and the mineral formed is amber. Amber is not the main ore, it is an accompanying product."

The knowledgeable and talented Ke Qing raised his hand, turned the jade plate over and over to look at it, and said: "Jade is really good jade. I think it is very good to come to the jade mine."

"Jade is really good jade... why do I hear this so strange..." Boss Zhu had a delicate expression.

Zhong Li smiled and shook his head, turned the jade plate back to the front, pointed to the beautiful mountains and rivers engraved on the plate, and asked, "Does this mountain and water look good?"

I breathed a sigh of relief, and lowered my head to look. There were lines on the jade plate, which were hidden, and I couldn't see them clearly unless I looked closely.After reading it, a scene of mountains and rivers was outlined in my mind.

I faltered: "It's...not bad."

After all, I don't know anything about such elegant things.

Boss Zhu brought the boiled white water together with the pot. In the midsummer, the steaming taste can make people uncomfortable.But Zhongli just likes this sip of hot tea. He has to drink a sip of tea before going down. Anyway, I'm telling you: the journey doesn't have to be rushed.

Luhuachi is right in front of you...

Looking at it from here, one can see the monstrous blue color, dark and shallow, one after another at a glance from a distance. It is still a beautiful scenery after such a distance.

Zhongli started to make tea, and when he opened the tea pot, his smile increased by two pixels. He must be very satisfied with the tea that Boss Zhu took out.

He asked again: "Do you think Luhuachi is beautiful?"

"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment, "It's pretty." I pointed to the place in the distance where the green color gradually faded away.

"Jade is good jade, but this carving is not good." Zhong Li suddenly poured the once-soaked tea into the saucer. The tea was dark in color and flowed against the jade pattern, depicting a world.

Mr. Ke Qing looked at Boss Zhu: "This dish should be a complete set, let's take it out and have a look together."

Normally, this jade plate would not be used, but today it was just taken out to wipe it.The value of jade is high, and there will be no guests so abruptly pouring hot tea on it.Zhongli's operation startled him a little, but he was also curious, so he immediately went into the room and searched for matching things.

People walked in, but they didn’t stop talking. Boss Zhu said brokenly: “Hey, this painting, an old man fell in front of my inn at that time. After waking up, there was nothing to repay the debt, so I could only carve a set of dishes for me. I thought it looked good, and it was not a big deal, and it was saving people, so it was counted as his repayment. I still think this is a master !"

"If you see mountains as mountains and water as water, then that's the way it is." Zhong Li pushed the jade plate over until it was right in front of my eyes.

He pressed one finger on the plate, "The lines are firm, with sharpness inside, and there is a golden sound." His smile did not change, "If I saw this engraving on the back of the blade, I would definitely praise it. Everyone's work."

"You mean, this person isn't actually a landscape painter? He's a weapon maker?"

Zhongli nodded in agreement.

At this time, Boss Zhu put the remaining three saucers on the table together, and poured tea in like Zhong Li did.

He poured the water, and Xu Xu said: "So there was another bowl, but I couldn't find it. Fortunately, there is no pattern on that bowl, so it should be fine. Hey...my bowl has been useless for a long time, and it will never grow legs." run away."

Zhong Li raised his hand and arranged the jade plates in their positions.

Before I understood it, Boss Zhu said loudly, "This is Luhuachi!"

He pointed to this line, planted a finger into the plate, and was scalded by the hot water again. He blew on his finger and shouted: "The pattern put together is Luhua Pool... Look, this is the most emerald pool, This is the pool with trees, hey, hey, I know this, this is the pool with lotus roots, I just broke it last year..."

I quickly got up and ran behind Zhongli to watch.

On the other side is Luhuachi, but we also have "Luhuachi" on our table.

The tea water was clear, the patterns on the jade dish became more and more obvious, and the heat seeped into the jade.

I lowered my head and stared, and saw a jade-patterned tree with slanted branches growing obliquely on the plate. I tapped a few points, and it was considered to be falling leaves.

Zhong Li was sitting, and I was standing behind him, so I could see the crimson color at the end of his eyes more clearly, it was as red as a maple leaf.He supported the plate with his hands, tilted his head slightly and poured the tea on the grass by the table.

I saw the leaves of yushu fluctuating with the water, like autumn leaves blowing away with the wind, and one of them was on the water, with the red leaves reflected at the end of Ke Qing's eyes, blinking and closing, it was a spring and autumn.

When the water in the plate is drained, the beautiful scenery like flowers in a mirror and moon in water will also dissipate.

Zhong Li pointed to the corner of the mountains and rivers, and motioned for me to look. I stared at the jade-patterned water for a while before I saw the word: Kunwu.

"Please make another pot of tea." Zhong Li said.

When Boss Zhu saw the beautiful scenery hidden in his own jade plate, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "I really didn't expect that old... that master had such a skill!"

I sat back to my original position and looked at the Luhua Pool over there, the clear water was rippling.

"Maybe that bowl really ran away with long legs." Zhong Li suddenly said this sentence.

I looked suspicious.

"The matching bowls and dishes all have patterns, except for it, it is naturally unhappy, so it ran away with long legs," Ke Qing was joking again, "It is going to find the person who carved the pattern, and ask the other party to fill in the pattern for itself .”

Zhongli waited for the tea to boil, the second time.

He never minded the wait.I often think that in Liyue's land of "rocks", Zhongli also has the same characteristics as rocks. At least in terms of waiting, he is no worse than anyone else.

"In Liyue, there used to be a young man who devoted himself to studying the scriptures, intending to cross Sumeru and practice the greatest wisdom..."

The scholar traveled around and got a sundial by chance. He was very happy and often played with it.

The scholar lamented that there are such flawless things in the world, so he decided not to be a master, but to become a craftsman, and challenge the master of this heavenly tool.

Mentioning this, Zhong Li suddenly laughed: "There is nothing flawless, it's just that his time is too short, too short to change Yan's time."

"The sundial molded from the wall of Guizhang will silently follow the sun and time forever, before it is completely worn out..."

"The sundial can't talk, it won't say that you can't do it, this is the way of heaven, but the scholar has already made up his mind, he has ingenuity, and he studies this way day after day."

One day, a scholar, or a young craftsman, met a strange man in Luhuachi.

The man stood upright on the shore, watching the clear water surge, his shadow fell on the ground, overlapping with the shadow of the sundial.

The young craftsman said: My name is Kunwu, and I swear to die to prove the way of heaven.

The man asked: This road is too long, and it is beyond the reach of human beings. Even so, should we go on?

Kun Wu replied: such days and months—even the ancient and eternal rocks will disintegrate and turn into gravel and dust in a long time—but the sundial in the hands of human beings is flawless, and time is always on it. Not wrong in general.

"Because human beings are creating new sundials from generation to generation, life after life, generation after generation, he can't finish this road, there will naturally be another person to take over his road, until the road of heavenly work comes to an end , go as far as you can’t go.”

No need for me to ask, Zhongli continued: "Later, Kunwu worshiped that man as his teacher, and the man taught him the way of heavenly craftsmanship."

"The man said that a contract is something that requires both parties. I will teach you the way of nature, and you have to do one thing for me."

But Zhongli didn't say what it was, maybe he didn't know what the end of the legend was.

Boss Zhu sighed and said: "This is the first time I've heard of this legend, but I have an impression of Kunwu. I remember that he seems to have a sword without a scabbard. What is it called..."

"It seems to be called... the dragon chant in the box!"
