Prince Duan's Mansion.

In the south of the inner city, it was built during the reign of the late emperor and covers an area of ​​about 60 acres.

It consists of five rooms at the main entrance, seven rooms in the main hall, nine rooms in the wings on both sides, seven rooms in the temple, and seven rooms in the back building.

The building is majestic and magnificent, and the decoration is magnificent.

There are rockeries, flowing water, lakes and ponds, winding corridors, waterside pavilions, martial arts training grounds, etc.

It was noon at this time.

After having lunch, Prince Duan Nangong Ke was playing football on the court with his only daughter Nangong Xiaorui.

Football in this era was introduced from the western countries, and the gameplay is quite similar to football, but the venue is smaller and the number of people can be arbitrary.

Although Nangong Xiaorui is only nine years old, she is wearing a red outfit, a ponytail, and kneepads. She has a heroic appearance and runs like the wind, as if she has endless strength.

But Nangong Ke was sweating profusely, panting, and could no longer run.

Seven tall men stood side by side outside the court, the oldest was nearly thirty and the youngest was only in his teens, all cheering for Nangong Xiaorui.

They are both warriors, and at the same time, they are both Nangong Xiaorui’s biological brothers.

Nangong Ke ran for a while, but couldn't run anymore. He stopped and waved his hands and said, "Xiao Rui, my father is dying. Take a rest, take a rest."

Nangong Xiaorui hooked her little foot, and the ball flew into her hand. She curled her lips and said, "Father, you are so useless. Don't come and play with me again."

Nangong Ke took the towel handed over by the servant, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Rui, don't be angry, let father rest for a while, father will play with you again later."

"snort!"

Nangong Xiaorui turned around and said: "Seventh brother, you come to replace the father."

The sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy immediately came on stage and said with a smile: "Okay, Xiaorui, I won't let you."

"Hey, I'm not sure who will let whom."

Nangong Xiaorui threw the ball in her hand and it stopped at her feet, then kicked it out.

Nangong Ke had no choice but to leave. While he was drinking water, a servant hurried over and whispered: "Your Majesty, Butler Ning just came to report that the princess of Nanguo County Prince's Mansion is here and wants to visit you."

Nangong Ke was stunned when he heard this, with a look of surprise on his face: "Thirteenth brother's daughter?"

He suddenly remembered what happened at Jinchan Temple last time, his expression changed, and he said: "Who else is there besides her?"

The servant whispered: "There is also a young man wearing a Confucian robe."

When Nangong Ke heard this, he sneered and said: "As expected, he is either here to ask for something, or he is here to ask for a reward. Go and say that the king is taking a lunch break and is not feeling well today, so he can't see you."

The servant agreed and left immediately.

After taking a few steps, Nangong Ke suddenly said: "Come back!"

Then he murmured: "If I don't see you, I'm afraid Brother Thirteen will think more about it if he finds out. That's all, let's go."

After saying that, he told the sons beside him and left.

Luo Qingzhou followed Nangong Meijiao into the splendid Prince Duan's Mansion and waited in the living room.

Nangong Meijiao was sitting and drinking tea.

As for him, he could only stand aside and stand with his hands down.

It doesn't matter in the Qin Mansion, but outside, you must abide by the rules.

What's more, this is the prince's palace.

Nangong Meijiao took a sip of tea, turned to look at him and said, "Have you remembered all the techniques I just taught you?"

Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Princess, I have remembered it all."

Nangong Meijiao said calmly: "Don't tell others what happened today, and don't throw lime in the future, and don't say that I taught you this, do you hear me?"

"Yes, Princess."

Luo Qingzhou responded respectfully.

Nangong Meijiao put down her tea cup and said, "Have you thought about what to do later?"

Luo Qingzhou said: "According to circumstances."

Nangong Meijiao glanced at him and suddenly asked: "Can you really get those Fire Fox Tears?"

Luo Qingzhou said: "Yes."

Nangong Meijiao said: "Can you tell me which friend you are?"

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said: "No."

Nangong Meijiao narrowed her eyes and said, "Why? I won't tell anyone."

Luo Qingzhou said: "I promised my friend not to tell others. People cannot stand without trust. Princess, I'm sorry."

"snort!"

Nangong Meijiao snorted coldly and said no more.

Another moment passed.

A middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing wearing a brocade robe, surrounded by the housekeeper and servants, came in from the door and said with a smile on his face: "Xiannie, why do you have time to come to my house today?"

Nangong Meijiao quickly stood up, bowed and said in salute, "Uncle Eighteen, I'll tell you the truth. I came here today to ask for something."

"oh?"

Nangong Ke's eyes flashed, and she looked at the young man behind her.

Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and lowered his head and said, "I, Luo Qingzhou, have met the prince."

Nangong Ke looked away, ignored him, and said with a smile on his face: "Xiannie, if there is anything that Uncle Eighteen can help with, just say it."

Nangong Meijiao did not mince words, and said directly: "I heard from my father that there is a Xuantian Jade Girl tree in the eighteenth uncle's house. My cousin is seriously ill, and she still needs some medicine, which happens to be the morning dew of the Xuantian Jade Girl tree, so today

Come here to bother me. If it is convenient for Uncle Eighteen, I hope it can be fulfilled."

"Xuan Tian Jade Girl Tree Morning Dew?"

Nangong Ke was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then frowned and said, "Which liar told you that this is a medicine?"

Nangong Meijiao said: "Master Wukong from Jinchan Temple."

As soon as these words came out, Nangong Ke was shocked and his face changed color: "Master Wukong? Last time you went there, you saw Master Wukong? How is this possible?"

Nangong Meijiao said: "I did see it. The abbot asked people to ring the bell continuously just to invite Master Wukong to come out. It was not because there was an enemy invasion."

Nangong Ke was stunned for a while after hearing this, and suddenly said: "So that's the case, no wonder I finally sent someone to investigate, but found that there was nothing major up there, and there were no enemies. At that time, I was still wondering why the bell kept ringing.

"

Immediately, with a face full of curiosity and disbelief, he said: "Xiannie, how did you invite Master Wukong out? I have been there many times, but I have not even seen the abbot's face. Even the late emperor sent someone to invite him.

I saw that you actually invited the master out the first time you went there. If I hadn’t said it from your mouth, I would never have believed it.”

Nangong Meijiao raised her head and glanced at the others behind him.

Seeing this, Nangong Ke waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please step aside. Who dares to say a word about the conversation just now? Come and see me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The butler and servants immediately retreated.

Nangong Ke said: "Xiannie, don't worry. They are all old people in the house and loyal. No one will tell this matter."

Nangong Meijiao then said: "It's all thanks to Luo Qingzhou that Uncle Eighteen, the abbot, the elders, and Master Wukong came out to see us."

Nangong Ke was startled when he heard the words, and looked at the young man behind her again, and said: "Is it because of those Buddha verses? But it is unlikely. If the abbot came out because of those Buddha verses, it is possible.

.But that Master Wukong hasn’t seen a visitor for a hundred years, so he shouldn’t come out easily. Boy, what on earth did you do?"

Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Your Majesty, after you took those few Buddhist verses away, you wrote another Buddhist verse."

When Nangong Ke heard this, his face suddenly darkened and he said unhappily: "Boy, what you say must be supported by evidence. When did this king take some Buddhist verses from you? Who can prove it?"

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said, "I made a mistake. What I meant was that after the prince took away the few Buddhist verses I gave to him, I wrote another Buddhist verse for Jin Chan Temple."

After hearing this, Nangong Ke showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then asked curiously: "Written another Buddhist verse. I don't believe it, there is something better than that one [Body is a Bodhi Tree]"

Buddha's verse."

Nangong Meijiao suddenly interrupted: "Uncle Eighteen, can you give us the morning dew from the Xuantian Jade Girl Tree?"

Nangong Ke had a smile on his face and said, "Xiannie, don't worry, wait until I finish asking the question."

Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the last Buddha verse is indeed better than the one [Body is a Bodhi Tree], and it specifically answers this Buddha verse."

"oh?"

Nangong Ke suddenly became excited and quickly approached him and said: "Read it! Read it out to me and listen to it!"

Then he suddenly said: "Wait a minute, let's write it out."

Then he took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone directly from his sleeve, placed it on the table next to him, studied the ink himself, and said impatiently: "Here, write on this paper!"

Luo Qingzhou glanced at the ruby ​​ring on his finger, walked over and picked up the pen, waited for a moment, dipped in ink and wrote down.
