Empty space opens its smiling mouth; on the great earth human traffic ceases. If you understand like this, what need is there for nine dragons to spit water to bathe the golden body? If not yet so—" Striking with his whisk, he said: "Where people buy wine in painted towers, they invite each other to come drink Zhaozhou tea."
