I opened the Ming Dynasty
Chapter 108 Official Gift
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice walked over steadily, and behind him followed a set of exquisite jade tea sets.
This tea set is so eye-catching. It includes teapots, teacups, tea trays and other items, each of which exudes unique charm.
That teapot has an unprecedented legendary origin!
It is said that in ancient times, this teapot was used by the Jade Emperor in heaven and was imbued with the fairy air of heaven.
Its material is warm and delicate, as pure as mutton-fat white jade, and it sparkles a soft and mysterious light in the sun.
The carving craftsmanship on the pot is even more exquisite. Every line seems to be carefully drawn by a skilled craftsman. It is delicate and smooth, and the patterns are lifelike, as if telling an ancient myth.
The teacup is exquisite and unique, with a wall as thin as paper and excellent light transmittance, as if you can see another fantasy world through the cup.
The tea tray is like a peaceful world, with natural and beautiful texture, as if carrying the accumulation of years.
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice smiled broadly and bowed, saying, "My Lord, look at this set of tea sets. They are rare treasures in the world. This teapot was once a treasure of the Jade Emperor."
After swallowing, he continued, “Later, a great disaster occurred between heaven and earth. The sky broke apart, and the water from the Milky Way poured down. The world fell into endless suffering.
Nuwa stepped forward and used five-colored stones to repair the sky. After going through untold hardships, she finally succeeded in repairing the sky and saving the people.
In order to commend Nuwa's great achievements, the Jade Emperor gave her his beloved teapot as a reward.
Nuwa took the teapot back to her cave and loved it very much. In the days that followed, Nuwa began her other great creation - creating humans.
She carefully molded little people out of clay, giving them life and soul.
During the busy process of creating humans, Nuwa accidentally left the teapot in a place on earth, which was later known as Baofeng Mountain in Hubei Province.
The teapot lies there quietly, and as time goes by, its fairy spirit gradually blends into this land.
In his spare time, the Prince Consort can use this tea set to drink tea, enjoy the peaceful and carefree time, and feel the auspicious atmosphere from heaven. "
I saw that what the Minister of Justice said was weird, so I asked Niu Lili to make some tea for her to drink. After a while, the fragrance of tea rose and lingered, filling the entire Anle Palace.
I took the lead in picking up the teacup and took a sip. I could feel the rich tea fragrance spreading in my mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance on my lips and teeth. I couldn't help but sigh: "This tea is really exquisite, worthy of being brewed in such a legendary teapot." I remembered the poem "Fine tea is always like a beautiful woman", which really describes the beauty of tea exquisitely.
Niu Lili smiled brightly and said: "The fragrance of this tea is indeed unique, with a long-lasting tea flavor that makes people feel relaxed and happy." Then she recited "Under the bamboo, I forget to speak while drinking purple tea, which is completely better than the drunken guest in the clouds."
After tasting the tea carefully, Xiaoling also expressed her own opinion: "This tea tastes smooth, with a long aftertaste, which makes people have endless aftertaste." She then chanted: "Fragrant leaves, tender buds. Admire poets, love monks. Carve white jade, weave red gauze. Boil yellow stamens in the pot, turn the bowl to make the flowers. Invite to accompany the bright moon after night, and order to face the morning glow before dawn. Wash away the tirelessness of ancient and modern people, and you will know how to boast after being drunk." This is Yuan Zhen's "Tea from One to Seven Character Poems".
Yueying sniffed the tea and said slowly, "The aroma of this tea is so refreshing that it seems to purify one's soul. It reminds me of Lu Tong's "Writing to Thank Meng Jianyi for Sending Me New Tea": One bowl moistens the throat and lips, two bowls relieve loneliness and depression. Three bowls search the intestines, but only five thousand volumes of words. Four bowls make you sweat lightly, and all the unfair things in your life are released through your pores. Five bowls clear your muscles and bones, six bowls make you feel like an immortal. Seven bowls are too much to eat, but you can only feel a breeze blowing from your armpits."
Mei nodded and said, "Yes, after drinking this tea, I feel much calmer." She thought of Bai Juyi's "Thoughts on Brewing Tea with Mountain Spring": "Sitting and drinking cool water, watching the tea brewing in the dust. I have no reason to hold a bowl, so I send it to tea lovers."
The princess held the teacup elegantly and said, "The tea brewed from this pot is indeed unique. It is like a wild spring among fireworks and white clouds. Drinking this fragrant tea is like being in heaven!"
Chunhua said with an intoxicated look on her face: "The fragrance of this tea is so wonderful that I am a little intoxicated by it."
Then she imitated me and recited my poem vividly: "Sitting and drinking cool water, watching the boiling dust. I have no reason to hold a bowl, send it to the tea lover."
Li Lili continued with an intoxicated look on her face, and said softly: "Indeed, the taste of this tea is mellow and delicate, slowly spreading between the lips and teeth, as if every taste bud is being gently caressed; the aroma is top-notch, quiet and elegant but extremely penetrating, lingering around, making people feel as if they are in a wonderful world full of tea fragrance."
Xueqi blinked her eyes and said, "After drinking this tea, I feel like I am in a fairyland."
After saying this, she could not help but recite: "The people of Yue left me tea from Shanxi River, which I picked with golden teeth and cooked in a golden tripod. The white porcelain is snow-white and has a faint fragrance, how can it compare to the fairy tea!"
Xi Shi slightly opened her red lips and said softly, "The flavor of this tea is just like the nectar of the gods." She softly chanted Su Shi's "Ciyun Cao Fu Ji Heyuan Test Roasting New Buds": "The magical herbs on the fairy mountain wet the moving clouds, washing the fragrant skin without evenly powdering it. The bright moon comes to Yuchuanzi, and the breeze blows away the spring in Wulin. You should know that Yuxue has a good heart, not just the new ointment. I wrote a little poem to make you smile, and good tea has always been like a beautiful woman."
Diao Chan opened her red lips slightly, her eyes flickered as she praised softly, "The fragrance of this tea is spreading wantonly, as if it is going to fill the entire world. This wonderful taste should only be found in heaven. It makes people intoxicated and feel like they are floating in the air!"
Qingzhao smiled and continued, "The fragrance of tea fills the world, but this taste should only be found in heaven!"
We were sitting around the teapot, reciting poems and drinking, praising it and expressing our opinions, when suddenly the light in the room dimmed!
Immediately afterwards, the Minister of War, who looked like a black iron tower, strode into the palace with big strides.
Behind him, a tall, mighty and extraordinary white horse followed proudly. It was the famous Thousand Miles Chasing Wind White Dragon Horse!
This horse is as white as snow, without any other color. Its snow-white hair has its own aura even indoors, and it shines brightly!
Its eyes are as bright as lightning, piercing with spirit, and exuding an arrogant and unruly majesty!
The assistant minister of the Ministry of War gently stroked the horse's mane, speaking solemnly: "Your Majesty! This Thousand Mile Wind Chasing White Dragon Horse is truly a unique and fine horse in the world. I got it by chance when I was ordered to go to Caoxie Pass in Wudang Mountain to collect folk songs a few years ago. Today I specially present it to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty can take the lead in your future journey, forge ahead courageously, and achieve extraordinary success!"
The white dragon horse seemed to feel the focus of everyone's attention. It raised its head and let out a high-pitched neigh, as if in response.
When I first saw this "White Dragon Horse Chasing the Wind for Thousands of Miles", I was instantly attracted by it.
It held its head high, as if to challenge the Tathagata Buddha! Its slender and upright neck revealed its incomparable pride and supremacy!
Its eyes are like gems shining with mysterious light, deep and smart, as if containing endless wisdom and powerful power!
Just by taking a glance, one can feel the sharpness in his eyes that seems to be able to penetrate everything!
The silver-white hair, shining like snow, looked as if it had been carefully combed by the bright moonlight. It was so pure that there was not a single flaw, and every strand of hair was sparkling with dazzling brilliance!
How could this be a horse? It was clearly a magical beast that had descended from the sky!
Its limbs are strong and powerful, and every step it takes seems to carry the force of thunder, as if the earth is shaking, and there seems to be wind and clouds surging under its hooves.
The flowing ponytail dances like a flowing spring or waterfall, exuding an ethereal charm.
When it stands quietly, it is like a statue made of the purest beauty and power, exuding a suffocating sacred atmosphere, which makes people feel awe and deeply intoxicated at the same time, as if it is not an ordinary horse in this world, but a divine horse from the nine heavens, descending to the mortal world with extraordinary temperament and mysterious power, waiting for the appearance of the peerless hero who can truly complement it - me!
Throughout the long history, famous horses have emerged one after another, each with its own unique charm and legendary color.
The Thousand-Li Wind-Chasing White Dragon Horse given to me by the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War is the best among them. Even compared with many famous horses from ancient dynasties, it is not inferior.
For example, the Wuzhui horse of Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu, was as black as ink and had great strength. It accompanied Xiang Yu in charging into battle on the battlefield and became famous far and wide.
The Wuzhui horse is known for its bravery and loyalty, but compared with the Qianli Zhuifeng White Dragon Horse, it lacks elegance and nobility in appearance.
The white dragon horse is as white as snow, and its snow-white hair shines with a holy light in the sun, just like a divine horse sent from heaven!
Let’s look at Lu Bu’s Red Hare during the Three Kingdoms period. The Red Hare is famous for its outstanding speed and endurance.
It can travel a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles a night, and is Lu Bu's most capable partner on the battlefield.
But the speed of the Thousand-Li Chasing Wind White Dragon Horse is 180,000 miles faster than the Red Hare. It runs like a storm, like a white lightning across the sky, its speed is astonishing.
Moreover, the White Dragon Horse's temperament is even more unique, and its proud eyes reveal an innate kingly aura!
Each of the Six Horses in Zhaoling Mausoleum of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, had made outstanding military achievements and is a witness to the glorious history of the Tang Dynasty.
Some of them are brave and fearless, some are smart and agile, but the Thousand Miles Chasing Wind White Dragon Horse is unmatched in the world in terms of comprehensive qualities!
It not only possesses great strength and speed, but also has a high degree of spirituality. It can understand the master's instructions, communicate with the master's mind, and can exert unimaginable abilities at critical moments.
The Ferghana horses of the Han Dynasty were famous for their blood-like sweat. They had excellent endurance and stamina, and performed well on long journeys.
However, the Thousand Miles Chasing Wind White Dragon Horse is equally as good in terms of endurance. No matter whether it is a long-distance raid or a protracted battle, it can travel across the world like a perpetual motion machine!
In addition, there are the Eight Horses of King Mu of Zhou, each of which has a magical legend and unique abilities.
They can either cross mountains and rivers, or move freely through clouds and mist.
But the magic of the Thousand Mile Wind Chasing White Dragon Horse is even more amazing!
Compared with these famous horses in ancient times, the Qianli Zhuifeng White Dragon Horse not only possesses outstanding external conditions, such as handsome appearance and flowing hair, but also has excellent internal qualities.
It is brave and resolute, and never backs down when faced with difficulties and dangers; it is loyal and reliable, and serves its master wholeheartedly; it is smart and can quickly understand its master's intentions.
In the canvas of history, these famous horses have left a mark of their own, and the appearance of the Thousand Miles Chasing the Wind White Dragon Horse has undoubtedly put an end to them!
As the new owner, when I was flattering Qianli Zhuifeng Bailongma to cultivate our relationship, the Minister of Works with broom-like eyebrows and triangular eyes also came!
The servants behind him were holding up a sword with a peculiar shape, which was the double-edged sword that created the world!
This sword has two swords in one sheath. The male sword is as wide and long as a giant, while the female sword is as wavy as a snake. They flash with a strange and magical light that is refreshing and makes people lose their souls!
The hilt of the sword is engraved with a pattern of mandarin ducks, symbolizing affectionate love.
The Minister of Works looked solemn and groveled as he said, "This double-edged sword that created the world has an origin that is so bizarre that it will shock the gods and ghosts!"
Zhang was startled, and continued, "It is said that in the distant ancient times, the world was in chaos, and the yin and yang energies were intertwined. In that mysterious and ancient chaotic void, there was a faint flickering of strange light, as if it was nurturing some existence beyond imagination.
One day, a bolt of lightning that pierced the sky and the earth split the chaos, and where the light appeared, the prototype of the double-edged sword was vaguely visible.
The lightning seemed to be the first force of the world, and it was all transferred to this sword. Since then, this sword has been silent in the chaos, silently absorbing the most fundamental energy between heaven and earth.
As time goes by and countless years pass, the sword is still waiting for its fate in that mysterious place.
Until one day, an ancient war god happened to pass by this place and was attracted by the mysterious aura. The war god used his omnipotent power and spent endless efforts to awaken the sword from chaos.
But the mysterious power on the sword was too strong, and the God of War could only seal part of its power temporarily to prevent it from causing a disaster that would shatter the sun and moon and tear apart the sky and the earth.
After that, this sword wandered around the world, and each time it appeared, it was accompanied by earth-shaking changes.
It once made its mark in a great war between gods and demons, and its brilliance instantly suppressed the arrogance of countless demons, making them tremble with fear. It also once helped a hero slay demons and establish an unparalleled feat. Every story related to it is full of legends.
I went through countless hardships and difficulties to finally find this sword. Its existence seems to be a miracle between heaven and earth. The extremely sharp blade and the unique symbolic meaning all tell of its terrifying origin. I hope that it can continue to write a new legend in the hands of the Prince Consort and protect the peace and beauty of this world. "
Everyone was listening to the Minister of Industry's story, immersed in the shock of this miraculous origin, unable to recover for a long time, and the mandarin duck double-edged sword seemed to be emitting a sigh of relief at having found its destined lover...
