Online Games: Start as an Emperor

When the Oiran competition started, Lu Yan was not idle either.

Lu Yan is entertaining a"sage".

Tea Sage - Lu Yu.

Lu Yan never thought that in addition to being a tea sage, Lu Yu also had another identity, his cousin.

When Lu Yan learned the news, he was a little confused.

What a joke.

I also have a cousin.

But after checking the information, the other party was indeed his cousin.

Lu Yu and the previous king of Yun Kingdom were cousins.

In other words, they belong to the same grandfather.

Although the previous generation of kings of the Yun Kingdom were fictional, they did exist.

Lu Yu's father is Grandpa Lu Yan's younger brother.

When he established the Yun Kingdom, he also made great military exploits.

Later, Lu Yu inherited the title.

Inheritance - King Qing.

Although Lu Yu inherited the throne, his interests and hobbies were not here.

Lu Yu likes tea.

So, I traveled all over the country in search of good tea and good water sources.

Lu Yu even settled in other countries for a long time.

So much so that others thought Lu Yu was a local.

Some players do the same, labeling Lu Yu as a person from their own country.

For the sake of his tea and water, Lu Yu did not admit it, but he also did not deny it.

Now, Lu Yu has traveled all over the world, planning to find a place to write a book.

Only then did he think of Yun Guo.

Of course Lu Yu had heard of the reputation of the Yun Kingdom, and also knew that the Yun Kingdom was now the number one kingdom in the world.

The overlord of the East China Sea.

While Lu Yu was proud of Lu Yan, he was also happy for the ancestors of the Yun Kingdom.

Lu Yan in Yun State can equal an army of millions.

It's not that Lu Yu has no intention of returning to Yun Country, but he has more important things to do.

A major event related to the Yanhuang Continent and China's fame.

He stayed for this important matter.

It was not until some time ago that he finally observed, understood, and achieved perfect merit.

So, he decided to return home. writing a masterpiece——《Tea Classic》

······

Lu Yu, known as the"Censor of Tea Mountain", was a tea expert in the Tang Dynasty. He was known as the"Tea Immortal", revered as the"Tea Saint" and worshiped as the"Tea God".

Lu Yu was fond of tea all his life and was good at tea ceremony. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Lu Yu lived in seclusion in Tiaoxi and wrote three volumes of"The Book of Tea", which discussed the characteristics, quality, origin, planting, picking, cooking and drinking utensils of tea.

Became the world's first tea monograph

《The"Complete Tang Dynasty" contains the"Autobiography of Lu Yu". He has compiled three volumes of"Jie Tan". He has a strong interest in tea and has conducted long-term investigations and research. He is familiar with tea tree cultivation, breeding and processing technology, and is good at tea tasting. He ushered in an era of tea and made outstanding contributions to the development of the world's tea industry. He was also good at writing poetry, but not many of his poems have survived in the world. There are five articles in"Complete Tang Dynasty" and two poems in"Complete Poems of Tang Dynasty".

But who would have thought that such an awesome person could be an abandoned baby.

Almost died in the wilderness

《Supplement to the History of Tang Dynasty》、《Both"New Book of Tang" and"Biography of Talented Scholars of the Tang Dynasty" make no secret of this. One morning in the late autumn of 733 AD, Zen Master Zhiji of Longgai Temple in Jingling passed by a small stone bridge in the western suburbs. Suddenly he heard the cry of geese under the bridge. When he got closer, he saw a group of geese guarding a man with their wings. The baby boy made Yan Shuang shivering from the cold, and Zhiji took him back to the temple for adoption.

This stone bridge later became known as the"Ancient Wild Goose Bridge", and the nearby streets were called"Yanming Street" and became a historic site.

There are also these two places in the game.

But not in Yundu.

After all, Lu Yu in the game is a prince.

A prince of a vassal state.

Ji Gong was a famous eminent monk in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Gong, a well-educated Confucian scholar, lived in the nearby Sixi Village at that time.

Li Gong was once an official of the shogunate. He abandoned his post during the turmoil and taught village children at the Kaixueguan at the foot of the beautiful Longgai Mountain. He had a deep relationship with Ji Gong. Ji Gong asked Li Gong and his wife to nurse the abandoned baby. At that time, Li Jilan's daughter Li Jilan had just turned one year old, so he named Ji Zhan after Ji Lan and treated her as his own.

Ji Lan and Jizhen ate at the same table and played on the same meadow. When they were seven or eight years old, Li Gong and his wife grew older, and their homesickness grew stronger. The family returned to their hometown of Huzhou all the way.

Ji Zun returned to Longgai Temple and cooked tea and served water to Ji Gong. Ji Gong deliberately cultivated him and took great pains to name him by divination. He got the"Jian" hexagram from"Yi". The hexagram said:"Hong Jian is on the land, and his feathers can be used as rituals." It means that the swan geese fly in the sky, and their wings Pianpian, the formation of wild geese is in order, and there is a thoroughfare in all directions. So he decided to change his surname to"Lu", give him the character"Yu", and use the character"Hongjian" as his character name.

Ji Gong was also good at making good tea, allowing Lu Yu to learn the art of tea at an early age. When he was twelve years old, Lu Yu finally left Longgai Temple.

After that, Lu Yu worked as a clown actor in a local troupe, as well as a screenwriter and composer. He was appreciated by Li Qiwu, a famous official who was relegated to Jingling, and went to Huomen Mountain to work under the master Zou for seven years until he was 19 years old. Only then did he learn to go down the mountain.

Lu Yu followed the refugees from Chengzhou to the north and traveled throughout the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River Basin. He investigated and collected a large amount of first-hand tea production information, and accumulated rich experience in tasting springs and water, and wrote an article"Water Products".

Zhang Youxin, a scholar of the same generation, once listed in detail a list of 20 types of water including rivers, wells, springs and snow water that Lu Yu had rated in his"Jiancha Shui Ji".

For example, the water curtain water of Kangwang Valley in Lushan ranks first, the stone spring water of Huishan Temple in Wuxi ranks second, and the stone spring water of Lanxi in Qizhou ranks third. Zhonglingquan in the center of the Yangtze River is listed as the seventh grade.
