Before noon, the ten incense was already full. There are no more empty seats in the lobby on the first floor.

Stone in the Ten Lixiang Dining has always chosen the first floor of the hall. He was reluctant to go to the second-floor box, feeling that he couldn't see anything there, so he naturally reduced the pleasure of eating.

"Let's go, boy, thank you for your kindness, but it's a pity that the weather is not at the right time. Besides, I can't drink alcohol, what are you doing here? Dao Yan stepped out of the threshold with one foot.

"Wait a minute, there will be vacancies soon." The stone grabbed Daoyan's arm.

"Don't wait, I don't know when."

"Look, the people at that table are about to leave, and their dishes are already at the bottom."

"Hey, kid is very clever...... Hey? They seem to be foreigners. ”

"Japanese."

"How do you know they're Japanese?"

"You see that the hakama and belt of their pants are outdated, that is the style of our Tang Dynasty, they must be Japanese."

"You're quite knowledgeable."

When the Japanese left, Stone waved to them in a friendly manner and said goodbye to them in Chinese, which they probably did not understand.

The Japanese were flattered and bowed until they walked out of the store.

Shi and Dao Yan hurriedly took their seats in the vacant seats.

"Boy, you weren't so enthusiastic about me when you first met me." Dao Yan picked up the stone teacup and prepared to wait until he apologized before pouring him tea.

"Master, we are friends, do you need to be so polite between friends? That politeness is all used to deal with the people who are raw! ”

"Hmph, Flim Flam!" Dao Yan rolled his eyes and poured a cup of tea for the stone, "Wash your mouth well!" ”

"The master is really cautious, this is a taboo in Buddhism! Zen Master Zhiyin also lent the Mahayana to the Japanese, and if you are his friend, then you will not be able to live now! ”

Dao Yan's eyes widened, and he moved a few inches towards the stone: "The Mahayana Treatise? ”

Stone nodded and smiled mysteriously, as if waiting for the fish to take the bait: "You want it too, right?" ”

"Don't interrupt! Why did Zen Master Zhiyin lend the Mahayana to the Japanese? Did he still associate with the Japanese? ”

"No, it was Lin Xian who corresponded with the Japanese, and Lin Xian lent the "Mahayana Treatise" to the Japanese."

"Let me take a look. Are you saying that Zen Master Zhiyin lent the Mahayana to Lin Xian, and Lin Xian lent the Mahayana to the Japanese. ”

"Hmm. Come on, eat! Leave it to mind which of them borrows whom. These tofu cabbages are yours and you can also try them if you want beef. ”

"Amitabha!"

"Runaway, do you love being an official so much? Fame and fortune are like clouds! ”

Shi chewed the fragrant beef with relish, and in his eyes, being an official was not as strong as eating beef.

"Being an official is not just for fame and fortune, this is the view of secular people. If the Confucian Confucianism governs the world, the world will be orderly and the people will be healthy. In the current troubled times, if you can meet a Ming monarch to assist him, such as Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty, rule the world peacefully, and save the people from fire and water, how can this sentiment be comparable to fame and fortune. He is a healer, saving the world from the pain of physical diseases; To be holy and sage, to save the world from the suffering of spiritual delusions. Got it? Stinky boy. ”

"yes, yes. It turns out that the master hides the world and the world in his heart, admire and admire! "Stone absent-mindedly perfunctory.

"Come, eat a piece of meat, it's fragrant!" He couldn't help but put a piece of braised beef in Daoyan's bowl.

Dao Yan held up his chopsticks, his eyes straight, as if he was thinking about something.

Pick up the braised beef from the stone and put it directly on Daoyan's chopsticks.

"Oops! Stinky boy! Amitabha! Amitabha! Dao Yan put the beef in a stone bowl and rinsed the chopsticks with tea again.

"Hahaha! Hahaha! The stone smiled and leaned back.

"Don't make a noise!" Dao Yan closed his eyes and escaped into a no-man's land.

The stone pushed him: "Escape from the void, this is a restaurant, not a Buddhist hall!" You, a monk, chant the scriptures when he says it, like a child's face, and cry when he says it! ”

Dao Yan ignored the stone, and devoted himself to spitting out silent words with his mouth open and closed.

Shi said to himself: "Alas, it's not easy to be friends with monks, Lao Tzu has never been left behind by others during dinner, Lao Tzu also has a temper, Lao Tzu ......"

"Hey, it's endless, I'm thinking about things." Dao Yan finally opened his eyes.

"You're not chanting, are you?"

"Is closing your eyes just chanting?"

"Your mouth is still moving!"

"Is the movement of the mouth reciting the scriptures? Your mouth moves when you eat! ”

"Oh, I'm not going to talk to you, what do you think?"

"Think...... Lin Xian. ”

"Lin ......!" Stone let out a loud cry, and the people around him looked at the two of them, and he quickly lowered his voice, "What do you want him to do?" ”

"Lin Xian borrowed "The Theory of Mahayana", I think this matter is strange." Dao Yan's brow flew into a cloud of suspicion.

"Oh? What's the oddity? ”

"I've heard that the Japanese are very afraid of Lin Xian. He was the commander of the port of Mingshu, and Japanese ships had to pass through his checkpoint before they could enter our country. They didn't have time to tie up Lin Xian, how could they dare to work his great drive and borrow the "Mahayana Treatise"? ”

"Master, you even know this? It seems that your ambitions are not just casual talk. ”

"Stone, look at my analysis. Lin Xian and Hu Weiyong are in the same group, which is no secret in the court. Then Lin Xianlai's borrowing of "The Treatise on the Mahayana" may have been instructed by Hu Weiyong. ”

"I heard that the Gui Ting wants to learn the Mahayana theory."

"The return court has been used to pay tribute to my court three or four times, why didn't Lin Xian come to borrow the "Mahayana Treatise" earlier? I'm afraid that he and Hu Weiyong have ulterior motives this time. ”

"Oh? What's the intention? The stone picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into Dao Yan's hand, trying to get him to gag his mouth.

"Master, this has nothing to do with you and me, does it? Why don't you even eat for an inconsequential matter? ”

Dao Yan was immersed in the coherent reasoning, ignoring the stone.

"Although today's son is wise and martial, he misused Hu Weiyong, the prime minister. He has a monopoly on power, covering the sky with one hand, and it is not impossible to rebel. Lin Xian is his confidant, so he will naturally be entrusted with a heavy responsibility. ”

"Rebellion? Even if Hu Weiyong wants to rebel, what does this have to do with Japan's tribute? Shi put down his chopsticks, worried that his father Li Shanchang was coming.

"The Japanese may also be a chess piece in Hu Weiyong's hands." Dao Yan squinted, as if Hu Weiyong and the Japanese were in the same league in front of him.

"Aren't you, the person who wants to assist Ming Jun, going to seek refuge with Hu Weiyong?"

"Hahaha! He can't become a big thing, and now the villain has a will. Dao Yan was confident, rubbing his short, ridiculous, and scarce poor beard.

"Master, after talking for a long time, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm worried about someone."

"Who?"

"It's okay to tell you, but don't talk to anyone else."

"I swear I won't tell anyone."

"The Four Princes, Yanwang Zhu Di."

"He's the Mingjun you're going to assist?"

"Yes!" Dao Yan smiled slightly.

"But I heard that the crown prince Zhu Biao is benevolent, and the emperor likes this son very much. As the eldest son, Zhu Biao's prestige among the princes is very high, and the ministers also recognize this prince, how can it be the turn of the fourth prince Zhu Di? ”

"Your dad told you. By the way, in Xuanyuan Temple, your father has always stayed by the emperor's side, not the prime minister, but also a first-class member, right? ”

"Hey, hey, hey! You continue. "Stone doesn't intend to reveal his identity.

"Faces have faces, people have lives. I have met the Four Princes, and from his countenance, he is a human being. Although the crown prince Zhu Biao is expected by everyone, if he does not deserve to be the emperor, it is fate. ”

Dao Yan put an empty bowl in front of him, took out three copper coins from his arms, and spread them out in the palm of his hand.

"What do you do?" Stone put down his chopsticks and became curious.

Dao Yan put his other palm together on the palm of the copper coin, his eyes were like a torch, as if he was talking to the copper coin sandwiched between the two palms through his fingers.

After staring intently for a while, Dao Yan danced his palms together and said something in his mouth.

Then, he spread out his palms, and three copper coins slipped into the bowl. He glanced at the copper coins that were a foregone conclusion, and immediately took them back into his palm.

Dao Yan repeated the same move a total of six times.

The stone meticulously watched every step of the copper coin's changes. Like juggling, he always had an infinite interest in this novelty.

"Uh-huh!" Dao Yan nodded with satisfaction, and it seemed that the results that appeared were not much different from what he expected.

"Master!" The stone was caught off guard and changed his words, "Teach me, teach me!" So what does the obverse of the coin mean? What does the reverse mean? ”

"It's useless if you know what it means," Dao Yan shook his head, "You're too young to tell a hexagram." ”

"Does divination have to be an old man?"

"You can't do it anyway. The study of yin and yang, the realm of rigidity and softness, the way of benevolence and righteousness, you don't have any understanding, how can you understand the hexagram? ”

"Humph! I see if you can still divinate if you don't have copper coins. ”

The copper coins in the bowl seemed to have penetrated into the bottom of the bowl, and disappeared in an instant. The stone and the white glowing empty bowl smiled at Daoyan.

"Stinky boy, return the copper coins to me, it's not that I don't teach you, you really can't learn now!" Dao Yan was in a hurry and did not show much of the introverted cultivation of a monk.

"And when are you going to teach me?"

"Ten years later." Dao Yan casually said a number of prevarication stones.

"Two years later."

"Five years later."

"Three years later."

"Deal!"

"I have to go to King Yan's Mansion." Dao Yan got up in a hurry, and the food in front of him never touched a bite.

"What's wrong? What does it have to do with your hexagram? ”

"Well, I have to find a way to inform the fourth prince."

"Notify what?"

"I want to know to come along!"

Dao Yan walked out of the tavern, impatiently running towards his bright future.
