After a good night's rest, Ye Yuan woke up the next day feeling clear-headed and relaxed.
Ye Yuan opened the door and entered a small courtyard with a single door. Opposite the door was a large single room, which was the bedroom of his master Dao Yue. Next door was the bedroom of the little monk Dialectics. Ye Yuan himself also had a separate bedroom.
As long as the courtyard door is locked, this is a small independent world.
Ye Yuan also didn't know... what kind of status Master Cheap had in Da Zongzhi Temple, and he actually had a small independent courtyard.
Just when Ye Yuan was standing at the door, not knowing where to go, a little bald man came out of the next room, grabbed him and ran away.
"Junior brother, come with me quickly, we are going to be late for morning class."
Ye Yuan followed the good example and followed the little dialectical monk obediently.
When he first arrived in a strange environment, he needed to keep a low profile in order to integrate into the Grand Master Monastery.
But this idea is probably impossible to realize.
As for the reason?
Ahem, this.
…
canteen.
"Ten bowls!"
"Tell me, how much can this new junior brother eat?"
A young monk asked the senior brother next to him enthusiastically. The senior brother slapped him directly on his bare little head, which made him stunned for a while.
The senior brother not only beat him, but also educated him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? He is the new disciple of Uncle Daoyue Master. You have to call him Uncle Master!"
"ah."
The little monk was dumbfounded and remained silent.
However, the discussion in the cafeteria continued.
Everyone was secretly paying attention to the lean little monk showing off his rice, wondering how his stomach grew and how he could hold so much food.
"Wow, twenty steamed buns."
"This is better than a pig can eat."
Someone was unconvinced and retorted.
"Nonsense, pigs can eat more than him."
At this time, someone also made a comparison and retorted.
"Senior brother, little pigs can't eat too much."
"Well, that's true!"
"I took five more steamed buns, can he still eat them..."
Suddenly, the entire canteen was boiling.
Fortunately, the senior monks in the temple usually do not eat here, otherwise these young monks would not be allowed to be so noisy.
Ye Yuan felt happy while eating.
"Fortunately, the temple cafeteria has unlimited food, otherwise I wouldn't have enough to eat today."
As for attracting the attention of all the young monks in the temple, it is inconsistent with the previous principle of keeping a low profile.
It's not important, especially when it comes to filling your stomach, it's really not worth mentioning.
There is no other way, the most important thing is to be full.
So he simply let go and went full throttle. After all, it was rare to have a full meal.
"Hiccup, I'm full."
Ye Yuan patted his still flat belly with satisfaction, as if he was not the one who just drank twelve large bowls of thick porridge and thirty large steamed buns.
Although the low-key plan failed, Ye Yuan didn't care much.
Anyway, he is still young, just a child.
Besides, the wars at the end of the Sui Dynasty still haven't fully recovered, more than ten years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
The household registration system is riddled with holes. In the wild mountains and ridges, people with no identity are everywhere, making it difficult to check.
At the same time, inside a classy mansion in Chang'an City.
An old man sat opposite Dao Yue. He was dressed in inconspicuous regular clothes, but under his personal background, he exuded an endless aura of a superior person.
Dao Yue took the boiled tea handed over by the old man, took a sip, shook his head and said.
"My lord, I really don't want to drink tea."
"Hey, old friend, after decades of practicing Buddhism, why are you still so restless?"
If Ye Yuan were standing here, he would probably be shocked that his cheap master was actually a good friend of the Duke of the First Dynasty.
Daoyue put down his tea cup and said very casually.
"You still have the nerve to say it, just let me take him back to the capital and don't tell me anything else."
The old man glared and said angrily.
"Why didn't I tell you? Didn't I tell you that his identity must not be exposed..."
"Yes, yes, but that's all you said, and you didn't say anything else. You didn't even tell me his true identity."
The old man saw that Daoyue was dissatisfied, but he was unmoved and just persuaded him.
"If you think about it clearly, it won't be good for you or me."
"What?"
The secrets of the young apprentice can threaten a prince. These are the most prominent people under the emperor.
Daoyue was horrified, and immediately thought of something, and subconsciously pointed to the sky.
"It's with..."
The old man pressed his finger and reminded lightly.
"If you see through it, don't tell it. Just pretend you don't know."
Dao Yue reluctantly took back his hand, his whole person became a little decadent.
To be honest, after more than a month of getting along with him, he still liked this new disciple.
However, the forces involved in this young disciple were too powerful, and he felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart: "Oh, disciple, please wish yourself well!"
"Old friend, don't worry, it's guaranteed to be safe."
Facing the old man's confident comfort, Dao Yue dismissed Dao.
"Bullshit, if there was anything truly foolproof in this world, it wouldn't be Zhenguan now."
The old man's face froze, and he no longer looked as calm as before, and sighed.
"Alas, time is also destiny, so there is nothing you can do!"
"Is this why you came here this time?"
Dao Yue quickly shook his head, remembered the business of coming this time, and said with a serious face.
"No, there is one more important thing!"
"What?"
Dao Yue stretched out his hand, looked directly at the old man, and said confidently.
"Want money!"
"What do you need money for?"
"Raise a baby!"
The old man's eyes widened, seeing that Daoyue looked like an alien creature, and he clicked his tongue and marveled.
"You, a monk, actually asked me for money to raise a child?"
Without waiting for Daoyue to answer, he teased again.
"Also, where did the baby come from? It couldn't be yours?"
Daoyue was extremely angry and scolded him.
"You are talking nonsense. This poor monk is a monk. How could he do such a thing that breaks the precepts?"
The old man laughed and said.
"Haha, that's not necessarily the case. When you were young, you, an old guy, drank and ate meat."
Dao Yue was speechless. He really forgot that the old guy opposite knew him very well.
Helpless, Daoyue had no choice but to speak harshly.
"They are all young and ignorant. Besides, if you don't join the world, how can you join the world? If you haven't mentioned it, how can you let it go."
"Haha, even if your tongue blooms like a lotus flower, it won't change the fact that you broke the precept."
Dao Yue knew that he couldn't defeat the other party, so he kept a calm face, looked at him quietly, and ignored him.
Finally, the old man felt it was boring and gave up laughing.
"Tell me, who will you support?"
"Isn't it the one you asked me to bring back?"
Feed him?
The old man frowned.
"Well, if I remember correctly, food and accommodation are included in the Daisoji Temple, right?"
