Yang Shu sat down with Emperor Tiancheng.

They are all young people of the same age, so they don't pay much attention to the rules.

Emperor Tiancheng greeted Tang Xi: "Aiqing also sit down, let's not be in the palace, feel free." ”

Tang Xi hesitated: "This ......"

Chang Dagongzi smiled: "Tang Sheren, if you don't sit, won't you tell us all to stand up?" ”

When the words were said about this, Tang Xi also sat down: "The minister is rude." ”

Emperor Tiancheng nodded casually.

If you want to say that among the people of the Tang family, Tang Xi has a better impression on him. Talented and learned, and knows etiquette, he usually serves by his side, and he is also polite, not as domineering as his brother.

It's a pity that his surname is Tang, which makes people feel bad for one or two, and Emperor Tiancheng took him, but in order to appease the Tang family.

The few people chatted for a while, and the debate began.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the debates of true Buddhism are actually not interesting. The reason why the debate of Dongzhi Temple has such a great influence now is because it has long changed its form and only leaves its name.

In the expectation of everyone, the abbot of Dongzhi Temple came to the stage and saluted, saying: "Recently, the family teacher has a problem, and the poor monk has been thinking about it for more than ten days, but he still can't solve it. He also told the whole temple about this problem, but no one solved it. Therefore, we invite talented people from all over the world, who can solve it, and give it a meritorious lotus. ”

Hearing this, anyone who knows a little bit of the inside story is excited.

Meritorious lotus! In this debate meeting, Dongzhi Temple was willing to take out the merit lotus!

"Tochiji Temple is such a big hand!" Kim Daochang sighed.

In the world of Ming Wei, Dongzhi Temple has long disappeared in history, so it is unknown, so he asked: "Dao Chief, what is the mystery of this merit lotus?" ”

Jin Daochang said: "Speaking of this meritorious lotus, we have to mention a senior monk of Dongzhi Temple. He has long been hidden, but in the eyes of our Xuanmen, he is the real face of Dongzhi Temple. ”

Mingwei thought for a while: "But I don't know the master?" ”

Jin Daochang nodded: "Exactly!" ”

Ji Xiaowu hurriedly raised his hand: "I've heard of this." My master said that this unknown master is a real master. He is proficient in the doctrine of the three religions, and he has studied the mystics even more deeply, especially the arithmetic, which can be called a generation of grandmasters. ”

"Ji Xiaoyou is right." Jin Daochang added, "I don't know the three knowledge of the master's early years, which refers to the past, present, and future. Although it is a bit flamboyant, he has his own ability, and others have nothing to say. Later, the older I got and the more I studied, the more humble I became. When he gave way to the disciple, he changed his name and didn't know it. Over the years, he has stayed at home, and it is difficult for others to see him. ”

Tang Shao added: "Our majesty, I have long wanted to see the master who doesn't know it, but Dongzhi Temple is not afraid of the imperial power, claiming that he doesn't know that the master has entered the Buddhist path, and he doesn't want to set foot in the red dust again, so he has not been able to do so." ”

He smiled again: "My father also begged to see it, but he was also turned away. ”

Mingwei heard the meaning of his words.

These two people want to see the master, they should be for the same thing. The Emperor of Southern Chu wanted to sit firmly in the country, and Dai Guogong wanted to know if the Tang family had a chance to sit in that position.

I don't know that no one sees the master, not only because I don't admire the powerful, but also because I weigh it.

After all, Dongzhi Temple is such a big stall, whether it offends the emperor or the Daiguo Gong, it is very fatal. I don't know that the master always has to think about his disciples and grandchildren.

Ming Wei thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be that the emperor called his new favorite ......" Speaking of this, she couldn't help but smile and continued, "Coming to the debate conference, not only do you want to help him become famous, but also want to find a chance to meet the master?" ”

Tang Shao glanced at her and didn't speak.

Seeing him like this, Mingwei couldn't help but be suspicious: "Are you too?" ”

Wen Xiuyi found an opportunity and sneered: "Otherwise, what do you think I am looking for you to come over?" It's just bad for him, can't I? ”

“……”

"What do you mean by that?" Wen Xiuyi became irritable again, "Look down on me? ”

"No, Miss Xiuyi misunderstood." Mingwei said calmly, "Little girl, don't be so irritable, you grow old quickly." ”

"You ......"

Tang Shao said slowly: "That merit lotus is a lotus flower that grows in the place where the master cultivates. It is said that he found a different species in his early years of traveling around the world, and after harvesting, it has undergone special treatment and can be preserved for decades. These lotus flowers, accompanied by him day and night, are contaminated with Buddha nature, and if you can get one to offer at home, you will be able to prevent all evils. ”

Jin Daochang continued: "For us, the other use of the merit lotus is what is important. Those who possess the Meritorious Lotus can make a request to the Ignorant Master. ”

"Oh......" Mingwei's fingers tapped on the table, "no wonder you can't sit still when you know that the emperor intends to come to the debate meeting." With all due respect, even if this ignorant master can know the past and the future, it is not a big deal. Fate is not immutable, if you are strong enough, you can change it! ”

Tang Shao said calmly: "Although the truth is so, but there are so many people in this world, who can see it so clearly?" Your Majesty can't, and neither can we. ”

"That's just as well."

The two asked and answered, not saying anything profound, but there was an inexplicable harmonious atmosphere.

Wen Xiuyi looked very uncomfortable, and wanted to interject, but she couldn't, so she could only stare at Mingwei angrily.

"Here's it."

Suddenly heard the voice, and then was stuffed with a hand of fried beans, Wen Xiuyi was stunned.

"What are you doing?" She looked at Ji Xiaowu.

Ji Xiaowu said: "I see that your cheeks are bulging like a frog, give you something to eat to dissipate your anger!" ”

"......" He looked innocent, Wen Xiuyi wasn't sure if she was deliberately angry with her, or if she really thought so, so she held her breath even harder.

In the end, Tang Shao relieved the siege, touched a fried bean from her hand, and said, "I bought it from the first fried food shop outside the temple, right?" His family is very famous. ”

"Yes, yes, there are a lot of people in line!"

A few small words brought the topic over.

As he spoke, the abbot of Tochi Temple listed the question—but it was a number problem.

Mingwei sighed and said, "It's a little interesting." ”

Tang Shao didn't understand: "What's interesting?" "Could it be a mystery?

Ming Wei said: "This mathematical problem is actually the core of the method of derivation. In other words, those who can make this question must be people in the same way who know numerological calculation. She looked at the building where Emperor Tiancheng was and said with a smile, "This question is simply for that one." Don't you know if the master wants to take sides? ”

Tang Shao's expression became serious: "Really? ”

"What are you lying about?"

He looked at Jin Daochang, but saw him wave his hand: "The art of numerology, Dao Ye only understands fur, I'm afraid I can't figure it out." ”

"That ......"

Tang Shao was just about to speak, but the abbot spoke again: "This question is complicated, in order to let you Tan Yue see clearly, the poor monk thought of a way to show it." In this way, it is clear who wins and who loses, and I invite you to witness it. ”

The abbot glanced back, and there were dozens of monks lined up, holding all kinds of strange things in their hands, including wooden boards, stones, and incense burners...... Quickly set up.

Jin Daochang looked at it, raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha, simply arithmetic, Dao Ye can only be discouraged, this time it is split into a maze, but you can give it a try." ”
