221 concealment, introduction, gifting

When Huiyuan heard this, a relieved smile appeared on his face. He folded his hands and said, "Amitabha." If you can think like this, you can rest assured as a teacher. ”

Then, Huiyuan said a few words of encouragement - it stands to reason that this matter is over. Unexpectedly, Huiyuan seemed to think of something, and suddenly his face was embarrassed, and he looked at Xue Yan and stopped talking.

With such an obvious "hint", Xue Yan naturally couldn't pretend not to see it, so he asked, "Master, is there anything wrong?"

Huiyuan shook his head, nodded again, and seeing that the little apprentice was becoming more and more puzzled, he finally sighed and said:

"That's right...... As a teacher, I think that you have such a high talent for divination...... For the time being, it's better not to let the 'people over there' know. ”

Over there? Xue Yan was stunned, and then reacted: His master wants to block the news? At least, don't you let Jia Yu know at this stage?

This is the ...... Xue Yan pondered for a moment. I'm afraid there's not much room for cao.

Although there were not many people present at the time, counting the Yuan Jing and the nephew who came in later, there were only eleven or two; Mingtong and Yuan Jing were both alert, and they felt that something was wrong, except for Hui Yuan, they didn't tell the second person, and the nephew of the little novice master was also able to distinguish the importance; plus the incident on the back mountain road, it attracted the attention of others to a large extent...... If you look at it this way, it doesn't seem impossible.

However, in this world, sometimes the most important thing is luck.

In the past two years, Xue Yu and Jia Yu's people have exchanged news in private, so he can see that in terms of collecting news, those people are not vegetarians - don't think that according to the current situation, as long as you cover it up a little, you can hide it from the world, maybe what happened in Daming Temple today has been listed in detail, sorted out into a book, and is ready to be sent to Jia Yu's desk!

Even if none of the above is mentioned, no, there is still a Mai family? Don't make a fuss about this Daming Temple pretending that nothing happened, but the Mai family is spreading it everywhere with great fanfare.

- Xue Yan thought so, but he also knew that these analyses were difficult to say. Therefore, he only said with a slight hesitation, "Master, this is ...... Not quite feasible, right?"

In fact, Huiyuan already knew whether this would work or not—otherwise he wouldn't have felt so embarrassed—but he still said: "Regardless of whether it is successful or not, the teacher always thinks that you should give it a try." ”

After speaking, Huiyuan saw that his little apprentice still didn't understand the reason for his insistence, so he explained, "Dudao, 'The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it'." Yuantong, now you have a reputation...... I'm afraid it's not a good thing to get some more out. ”

- Because of this, even though Huiyuan knows that it is useless, he still wants to try.

Hearing this, Xue Yan really understood and was moved by Huiyuan's love for his apprentices.

To tell the truth, as long as his talent for divination is not rumored to be too "anti-human", he is not afraid of being known by Jia Yu.

First, what he said to Xiangling, he said everything he should say, and heard everything he should hear, this talent is high and low, and a discerning person can know it at a glance, plus there is no impermeable wall in the world...... He felt that instead of denying life and being slapped in the face in the end, it was better to be happy at the beginning.

Moreover, given that he is too young, Jia Yu is almost always sheltering him at this stage, and he is of no help to the other party.

It's not that Jia Yu is dissatisfied with him because of this. It's just that Xue Yan knows very well in his heart that if he just blindly accepts and does nothing, those dissatisfactions ...... Even if Jia Yu doesn't have it, everyone else will have it.

Therefore, he felt that he should occasionally find opportunities and show off to increase his bargaining chips, so that Jia Yu would agree that the alliance with him was "low investment, high return".

It's just that this is his master's kindness, and it's not good for him to refuse...... Simply, he still responded. Whether this pile can be completed depends on God, but if he does it, at least it will make his master feel at ease. That's enough.

Thinking of this, Xue Yan said respectfully: "Master Lao bothered, it was Yuantong, how could I ask Master to solve it for me?—— Master has any ideas, tell me, let me implement it." ”

Huiyuan saw Xue Yan's insistence, so he responded. Then, he laid out his plans one by one.

Xue Yan listened, and the main content was to tell a few insiders in Daming Temple not to make a noise. This, Mingtong, Huiyuan, and Yuanjing don't need to be cao, so at most, he just grabbed the little novice master's nephew and ordered him a few times...... Or find some other reason to fool the kids?

As for the Mai family, Huiyuan said this:

"Let's see how the Mai Governor's family reacts, and then we will discuss the next step.

- I am going to find a time for the teacher to say that you are interested in numerology and are learning.

Therefore, in these days, you must not be tired, you must study hard, and your master's book will be allowed to be brought back to Jinling for the sake of your teacher......"

After listening carefully, Xue Yan found that his master had thought quite thoroughly:

Xiangling's case, let's not mention whether it can be hidden from Jia Yu's side;

That external statement is not half a lie, at most it does not mention his talent, plus the level of learning. Secondly, whether or not he is instructed to do so, he will pretend to be a student.

In this way, it is even more helpful for him to "hide his clumsiness".

As for what kind of reaction the Mai family will have, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that he must find out and control it as soon as public opinion gets out of control. It is a bit difficult for Xue Yan to do this now, but since his master took the initiative to say that he wants to "wait for the opportunity to move", it means that he can pay attention to the movements of the Mai family or the city with the people in the labor temple.

Of course, you have to find another excuse, after all, this matter is not only Jia Yu, but even the other people in the temple have to hide it...... Well, let's just say that he was worried that "someone went up the mountain to see the spirit boy but died in an accident" This incident will have a bad impact, okay.

- What Xue Yan didn't expect was that the prefect's wife, Mai Chen, also blocked the news in order to take the credit alone.

In this way, under several coincidences, in the end, he really succeeded in hiding Jia Yu...... It's also a crooked hit.

- But that's all for later, so I won't say much about it at this time. It was only said that Xue Yan, after confirming in his heart that Huiyuan's plan was worth a try, bowed to his master and said:

Yuan Tong understood, and then did what the master said. ”

Huiyuan nodded, and Zhenggu said something more, and then heard footsteps from outside the house, from far to near, step by step, as if calm, and as if reminding the people in the house.

There is no need to guess, everyone knows that this is Yuan Jing, who was ordered to fetch things, has returned.

No, Huiyuan paused, and the words that came out became:

"Yuantong, you are also very clear about the situation in the temple now...... It's a good thing that you have talent, but if you have a question and you don't have an elder to answer it, it's also a problem.

There is no way to be a teacher in this regard, but fortunately, I also know a few monks and masters who are quite accomplished in numerology. ”

Huiyuan said the Taoist names of three Taoist priests in a row, and briefly introduced them, and then began to talk about the Buddhism side: "...... Master Wuwei of the Huguo Temple in the capital...... During your master's stay in Beijing, he placed an order in Huguo Temple, and now your senior brother is too.

There is also one who is Master Qingning of Panxiang Temple in Suzhou Xuantomb, your ancestor once mentioned it to his teacher, and this one is also extremely talented. However, as a teacher, I only had a relationship with your ancestor at the death ceremony...... In the past, your ancestors used to communicate numerology with each other by letter.

...... Later, I will repair a book for the teacher, and introduce these monks and masters to you. ”

After Xue Yan listened, the whole person was a little distracted, and even Yuanjing walked in and put down an inconspicuous small wooden box in front of Huiyuan, which couldn't distract him.

- Not for anything else, it is precisely because of the seven words "Suzhou Xuan Tomb Panxiang Temple".

- There, isn't that the place where Miaoyu led her to practice in the original book?!

As for who this "Master Qingning" is, Xue Yan doesn't know. However, it was said in the original book that Miaoyu's master was "extremely refined in performing the innate gods"......

In this case, Master Qingning must be Miaoyu's master.

Xue Yan thought again, it was mentioned in the original book that this master of Qingning specially ordered Miaoyu not to return to his hometown before he passed away...... Based on this, it can be judged that the ancestor is not a lie when he says that the other party is extremely talented.

None of that aside.

...... First Xiangling, now even Miaoyu and he can see it early?

No, it's hard to say. Xue Yan quickly dispelled this idea: Suzhou is much farther than Yangzhou, and there are many obstacles for him to come to Yangzhou, let alone Suzhou?

I'll talk about it when I have a chance later.

Suppressing this thought, Xue Yan also came back to his senses. He was worried that the master and brother would see that something was wrong, so he immediately said with a touched face:

"Master Xie! Yuantong will definitely cherish this opportunity, study hard, and never live up to Master's expectations!"

Huiyuan looked at Xue Yan happily, nodded, and then pushed the wooden box brought by Yuan Jing in front of the little apprentice, and said:

"This is the tool of your ancestor to tell fortunes in the past—now that he is a teacher, he will hand it over to you. ”

Xue Yan was taken aback: "Master, this is too ......"

"It's not a valuable item. Huiyuan shook his head and interrupted the little apprentice's words, "After your master passed away, because no one knew how to divination, these tools have been stored in the warehouse and covered with dust......

Since you have now inherited the mantle of divination from your ancestors, then these things should be handed over to you to continue to use.

- Come to think of it, your ancestor will not want to see it, and these things can only become a thought in the end. 166 Reading Network
