At this time, Fang Xuanling looked at the plan he had written a year ago and said, "At this time, I booked the waterway conference arrangement a year ago, you can see what the problem is." β
After the people below took turns to read Fang Xuanling's plan, they all praised: "My lord, you wrote in real detail, we didn't add anything." β
Fang Xuanling smiled: "I haven't written much, most of them are copied from predecessors, by the way, have you chosen the invitation list?" β
The person below took out a list and said, "My lord, we are also ready, please take a look." β
Fang Xuanling checked it and said, "Yes, all the famous people in Buddhism have been invited, and this list and plan are all sent to the Tang Dynasty Government for review." β
The people below replied, "Yes, sir." β
Soon, Cheng Yanjin got the plan written by Fang Xuanling, he looked at it and said, "The writing is good, but there are some problems." β
Cheng Chao took it and looked at it, and said, "The plan is no problem, but we don't have so many people, you go back and talk to Lord Fang." β
The official who came from Shangshu Province said, "My lord, can you make it clearer? I'll talk back. β
"That's good" Cheng Yanjin came to the desk and said, "I'll write something for you, you can just take it back." β
After he hastily wrote some words, he handed them to the official and said, "As for the list, I agree. β
After the others left, Cheng Yanjin said: "These celebrities on the list need us to send someone to invite, you can arrange it." β
Cheng Chao took the list and said, "Okay, Master." β
After looking at the list, he immediately summarized the places of residence of the people on the list, and found that it would take at least five people to inform these celebrities, and the status of the people who sent them should not be too low to be perceived as looking down on them.
Picking and choosing, he only picked out four people from his own government who were suitable for this, and the fifth person was except himself, so there was no one in the government.
But he couldn't leave the official mansion because he was lacking, so he thought for a while and ordered: "Please ask the master on Chang'an Street to come over." β
The master was soon invited to the Tang Dynasty Mansion, and Cheng Chao said, "Master, I want to trouble you with something today." β
The Master asked, "I don't know why you need to invite me?" β
Cheng Chao said: "That's the case, the emperor is going to hold a land and water conference in early April, this conference is relatively large, and I am going to invite some Buddhists, Taoists and Confucianists to come over, Buddhism I have already arranged, and Taoism does not need me to worry about it, but Confucianism, there are no more famous people on my side to invite them, now please comeγγγγγ β
When the master heard this, he still didn't understand anything, and said, "No problem, but I still have students in this book club." β
Cheng Chao immediately said: "Master, don't worry, we will arrange for a gentleman to go over for the affairs of the book club." β
When the master saw that he had made arrangements, he said, "That's good, I don't know when I will leave?" β
"As soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll go and prepare right away, and I'll set off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Cheng Chao thanked: "Thank you, I will arrange a few people to protect you." β
"Well, call Zhiwei too, take him out to see it."
"Okay."

Zhiwei received the words of his master and knew that he was going to leave for Shandong the day after tomorrow.
He found Feiyan Nu and said, "I'm going to go to Shandong with my master the day after tomorrow, I don't know if you will follow?" β
Feiyan thought for a while and said, "I'll ask my senior sister if she wants me to go." β
"Okay."
When the Flying Lady returned to the inn, she asked, 'Senior Sister, how long are we going to stay here?' β
Senior sister said: "It is estimated that it will be May, how do you ask this question?" β
Feiyan Nu said embarrassedly: "Senior sister, I want to go out for a while." β
The senior sister was puzzled and asked, "Do you still need to ask me when you go out?" β
Feiyan girl blushed and said, "I've been there for a long time this time." β
The senior sister stared at her with bad intentions and said, "Are you going out with Zhiwei?" β
Feiyan Nu sighed twice and whispered, "Yes, senior sister, I want to go to Shandong with him." β
When the senior sister heard that far away they went, she asked, "Where are you going and what are you doing?" β
The Swift Girl told everything she knew and asked, "Is that okay?" β
The senior sister thought for a while and said, "I can let you go, but you must listen to the master. β
When the Feiyan girl heard that she could go, she immediately pecked the rice and said, "Yes, I will." I'll go up first. β
The senior sister looked at her background and sighed, "If you want to play, play more." β

Soon, they had come to the day of departure, and after Zhiwei and his master converged, they came to the dock, where there were already people waiting for them.
The people at the dock saw Zhiwei and smiled: "Oh, Zhiwei, why are you here." β
Zhiwei also saw that person, it turned out to be the second-generation disciple he had brought with him when he entered the door, Gu Lei.
He immediately clasped his hands into fists and said, "Master hasn't seen you for a long time." β
Gu Lei opened his hand and said, "Don't call me master, I've only been with you for a long time, how can you be your master." If you want to call, call me Gu Lei. β
"A teacher for one day, a teacher for life, how can you not call it."
Gu Lei shook his head and said, "Don't scream, otherwise I feel very strange."
When Zhiwei heard this, he had to change his words and said, "Okay, why is Brother Gu escorted by you this time?" β
Gu Lei said: "Before leaving, I heard that there was a bit of chaos over there, so I temporarily replaced me, and I came to introduce other people to you." β
He pointed to the people behind him and said, "They are all my fellow disciples, called Liu Jie, Liu Wen, Liu Gang, and Liu Jin, and they all came out of a village. β
He pointed at Zhiwei again and said, "This is the disciple of the second senior brother, Chen Zhiwei." β
Several people nodded to each other in recognition of each other.
A fisherman came up and said, "My lords, the boat is ready to go." β
The Master said, "Then let's go,"
The rest immediately got on board.
As soon as the wind was blowing, the boatman immediately lowered the sails.
"Bang." The sails filled with the wind and the boat slowly sailed out of the dock.
The Flying Lady lay on the bow of the boat and watched the people below get farther and farther away from her, and said, 'This boat is so fast'
The master smiled and said, "This ship is the best sailing ship in Datang, of course it is fast." β
Feiyan Nu smiled: "I don't know if we can take this kind of boat when we go back to the country, the speed of the boat is really slow when I come, and it took many days to get here after floating on the sea."
The master laughed and said, "I guess not." This ship can travel inland and cannot go out to sea. β
The Flying Swallow Girl was puzzled and asked, "Why?" β
The bow of the ship came over and said, "Because this is an inland ship, it is wind-resistant, and if you go to sea, it will be blown away by the wind." β
"That's right."
Feiyan Nu looked at Chang'an in the distance melancholy and said, "Then I have to endure the slow big ship." β
The others burst out laughing.
