Uncle Jiu: I am Chen Yulou, the leader of the Xiangling gang

Chapter 52, Master Ikkyu

"By the way, Junior Brother, this is Qingqing."

"She is the disciple of Master Ikkyu, a high-ranking Buddhist monk and a friend of Uncle Simu." Qiu Sheng introduced to Chen Yulou.

Then, he looked at Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, this is my junior apprentice, my master's new disciple, Chen Yulou!"

Chen Yulou immediately looked at Qingqing, smiled slightly and said, "Hello, Miss Qingqing!"

Upon hearing this, Qingqing turned to look at Chen Yulou. In fact, she had already taken a look at Chen Yulou. After all, Chen Yulou was gentle and elegant, with an elegant demeanor. When he stood there, his clothes swayed in the wind, making it impossible for her to ignore him.

So handsome!
Much better looking than that annoying guy Jiale!
Qingqing immediately looked at Chen Yulou shyly and said, "Hello, Brother Chen!"

Then, Qingqing looked at Qiu Sheng and then glanced at Chen Yulou, and said with a smile, "Brother Qiu Sheng, Brother Chen, while Taoist Simu is away, Jiale has become a wild man and stays out all day. It will probably take a long time for him to come back. Why don't you come over here first? I'll make tea for you."

"Drink while you wait!"

Hearing this, Qiu Sheng glanced at the sky. The sun had already risen, so he nodded and smiled at Qingqing, saying, "Then I'll trouble you, Qingqing!"

"What's the trouble? It's just a pot of water!"

"Come in and sit down and rest for a while!"

"I'll make tea!"

Qingqing looked at the two of them, smiled gracefully, turned around and went into the house.

Chen Yulou and the other person walked into the house and sat down at the bamboo table.

The house is made of wood and bamboo. Although it looks a bit simple, after sitting down, the mountain view outside the window and the slight breeze make you feel inexplicably comfortable.

"Junior brother, we didn't choose the right time this time. Uncle should have gone out to drive away the corpses. I don't know when he will be back." Qiu Sheng said to Chen Yulou while taking off his shoulder bag.

Chen Yulou smiled and said, "When Junior Brother Jiale comes back later, ask Uncle when he can come back. If he doesn't come back soon, we can just go back to Renjia Town!"

"That!"

Qiu Sheng nodded immediately.

At this time, Qingqing came out from the side room holding a pot of tea. She came to the table, put down the teapot, took three tea bowls and started pouring tea.

"Brother Qiu Sheng, please have some tea!"

"Brother Chen, please have some tea!"

Qingqing picked up two bowls of tea and placed them in front of them, smiling.

"it is good!"

Qiu Sheng immediately picked up the tea bowl. After all, he had walked such a long way and was a little thirsty.

“This tea smells so good!”

Qiu Sheng blew on the tea bowl and immediately looked at Qingqing in surprise, saying, "This tea smells so good! This is the first time I've had tea with such a good aroma!"

After Qingqing sat down, she immediately said to Qiu Sheng, "This is the tea my master brought back to the temple a while ago. He said the tea tree that grew this tea is hundreds of years old!"

"Hundreds of years old tea tree?"

Qiu Sheng was immediately surprised, then quickly took a sip, savored it carefully, and nodded, saying, "It really is a tea tree that's hundreds of years old. Not only is the fragrance fragrant, but the taste is also excellent, with an endless aftertaste!"

Qingqing smiled when she heard that.

Qiu Sheng immediately looked at Chen Yulou and said, "Junior brother, this tea is really good, come and try it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou immediately picked up the tea bowl. It was his first time to drink tea from a centuries-old tea tree, but it was just as Qiu Sheng said. The fragrance of the tea wafted into his nose along with the hot steam. Just from smelling it, he knew that this tea was indeed extraordinary.

Then he took a sip.

I couldn't help but nod slightly. This tea is not only mellow, but also has an endless aftertaste after taking a sip. Moreover, my physical fatigue is instantly relieved, and my mind is gradually becoming clearer.

"Brother Chen, do you think this tea tastes good?" Qingqing looked at Chen Yulou curiously.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou immediately nodded and said, "It's worthy of being the King of Tea for hundreds of years. It's indeed unique!" "This tea is probably Master Ikkyu's treasure. You brewed it for us so easily. Aren't you afraid that Master Ikkyu will punish you?" Chen Yulou looked at Qingqing and asked jokingly.

“No matter how good the tea is, it’s for drinking!”

"Besides, Brother Chen, don't worry. My master wouldn't dare to lose his temper with me!" Qingqing immediately stood up, put her hands on her hips, and said aggressively.

Chen Yulou and Qiu Sheng couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw Qingqing's fierce look.

Seeing the two people's happy laughter, Qingqing reacted immediately, her face a little shy, and her hands, which were originally at her waist, instantly retracted behind her back. She sat down shyly, quickly picked up the teacup, and drank tea to cover up her shyness.

Qiu Sheng took a few sips, put down the tea bowl, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Qingqing, where is Master Ikkyu?"

"My master went to the valley to fetch water!" Qingqing replied.

At this time, there was a noise outside the door. Chen Yulou and the other two just stood up and saw an old monk in his early sixties wearing yellow Buddhist robes and wearing large Buddhist beads around his neck walking in with two buckets of water.

"Master, you're back!" Qingqing shouted immediately.

Upon hearing this, the old monk subconsciously said, "Hmm!"

But the next moment, he turned his head and looked over, then stood still with a look of surprise.

Qiu Sheng quickly greeted him, "Master, long time no see!"

"Turns out it's Donor Qian!" Master Ikkyu said with a smile, and then his gaze lingered on Chen Yulou for a few seconds.

Qiu Sheng quickly said to Master Yixiu, "Master, this is my master's new disciple, Chen Yulou!"

Chen Yulou immediately saluted Master Ikkyu and said, "Junior greets Master!"

Upon hearing this, Master Ikkyu nodded and smiled at Chen Yulou, saying, "Thank you, Benefactor Chen."

"Please take a seat, both donors. I'll take the water to the kitchen first."

After saying this, Master Ikkyu immediately carried the bucket and walked towards the kitchen.

Soon, Master Yixiu came out of the kitchen. He looked at Chen Yulou and said with a smile, "Donor Chen is not only outstanding in appearance, but also has a great temperament. Brother Lin Dao is willing to accept disciples, and he has found another excellent disciple!"

"Master, thank you for your kind words!" Chen Yulou immediately smiled modestly.

"Sit down, both donors, please sit down!"

"By the way, is Master Lin okay?" Master Ikkyu asked after inviting Chen Yulou and the others to sit down.

Qiu Sheng quickly smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master. My master is doing well."

"That's good!" Master Ikkyu nodded.

"Master, drink tea!"

Qingqing picked up the teapot, poured a bowl of tea, and handed it to Master Ikkyu.

Master Ikkyu took the tea bowl and immediately looked at Chen Yulou and Qiu Sheng and said with a smile, "Come, two donors, have some tea!"

"Master please!"

Chen Yulou and the other person immediately picked up their tea bowls and saluted Master Ikkyu.

"please!"

Master Ikkyu smiled and nodded, but just as he brought the tea bowl to his lips, his expression became a little unnatural. He immediately turned to look at Qingqing beside him and asked, "Qingqing, this tea..."

"Master, I caught the wrong one. I only smelled it after it was soaked!" Qingqing immediately stuck out her tongue playfully at Master Ikkyu.

Master Ikkyu immediately felt a little pain in his heart, because he brought this tea back from the temple.

The tea trees that produced this tea were over five hundred years old, and had already shown some signs of spirituality, especially since the annual production of spring tea before the Qingming Festival was only a few taels, and he only got a small share.

He simply couldn't bear to drink it.
