Haihui Temple is located in the western suburbs of Jingzhou in the western foothills of Xiangshan Mountain, not far from Shennong Palace. However, the two families have never been in contact, and Nong Qingyun and the current abbot Zhiyin Zen Master have never met.

Haihui Temple was built in the Later Jin Dynasty. Gao Jixing, the king of Nanping, built in order to fulfill his promise and win the trust of monks. Its history is a thousand years shorter than that of Shennong Palace, but its fame is no less than that of Shennong Palace.

After the temple was built, it has always been one of the most vigorous temples in the Central Plains. Whenever there is a natural disaster, believers go to the temple to pray for blessings.

However, after the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, when Buddhism flourished, Haihui Temple began to show signs of decay twenty or thirty years ago, and it took a sharp turn for the worse, to the point where it is now almost unnoticed.

No one knows why Haihui Temple turned upside down.

Some people speculate that it was because the previous abbot offended the imperial court, and some people speculated that it was because the current abbot was eccentric and withdrawn and did not like to be lively. In short, there are fewer and fewer believers who go to Haihui Temple to pray for blessings, and Nong Qingyun never thought of knowing the abbot who refused to be thousands of miles away.

"When the scenery of Haihui Temple was beautiful, I didn't put Shennong Palace, the first major sect in the southwest, in my eyes, but now it is decaying, but I sent tea, what is the purpose?" A good disciple said.

Nong Tieshu ignored him, in normal times, this disciple would definitely be reprimanded by her.

"Dad, do you want to collect the tea sent by Haihui Temple?"

"Take it." Nong Qingyun pondered for a moment and said.

"Shall we return the favor?"

"Wait a minute." He stretched out his hand and grabbed two handfuls of tea leaves and put them to his nose and smelled them, the aroma was insufficient, but it had a smell of grass, which was thousands of miles worse than the tea leaves in front of him, and even the last coarse tea in Shennong Palace was not as good.

Nong Tieshu saw from the quality of the tea and Nong Qingyun's face that Haihui tea was not a good product, she waved her hand to signal her disciple to take the tea leaves, and told Haihui tea not to be used for the time being.

After a while, the freshly brewed tea was grandly introduced.

Several different teas were served at each table. For a time, all kinds of tea fragrance dazzling and winning, or like the first bloom of lotus, surrounded by light fragrance, or like late autumn osmanthus, ten miles of fragrance. They chase after me, red and green dance, better than the freshness after the rain, intoxicating in the retrospective.

The disciples couldn't wait to taste them all, but they didn't know which cup to take first. It has been eaten several times neatly, and the voices of praise are endless.

"Dad, come, have a taste!" Nong Tieshu and Nong Qingyun were already seated, Nong Tieshu didn't care about drinking it himself, and poured a cup for his father first. Nong Qingyun took a sip, held it in his mouth, and didn't swallow it for a long time.

"Dad, how's it going?" Nong Tieshu was a little anxious, she was looking forward to her father's approval. All the teas as congratulatory gifts are screened by her before they come to the Mid-Autumn Festival night to cheer up.

She had already tasted three or four teas, but her father didn't even drink a sip. If she drinks like her father, when will she finish the tea she wants to introduce to her father?

Nong Qingyun smiled, and finally swallowed the tea in his mouth: "What's the hurry?" As you said just now, you should taste it slowly when you are full. ”

"Okay, how about the tea?"

"Like you."

"Like me? What do you think? ”

"The beauty is indescribable, and the wonderful is indescribable." Nong Tieshu snorted without hesitation. She has been dressed as a boy since she was a child, and no one has ever praised her for her beauty, and she doesn't know that she is beautiful.

"You praised me because I said you were young just now."

"Hahaha, I ......"

Before Nong Qingyun's words fell, when the others were fascinated by the fragrance of tea, a huge force appeared in the sky above them and took away their love.

The aroma, along with the steam emitted by the hot tea, was sucked into a huge vortex in the air. That whirlpool hung high in the night sky, competing with the bright moon. The surroundings are quiet and clear, clouds and mist, and the beauty is indescribable.

Just when everyone was stunned and overwhelmed, a huge orb slowly rose from the smoke, like a rising sun crossing the horizon.

The light of the orb caress the flowers and trees, the mermaids, birds and beasts, and the dark night becomes like day. The bright moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival has disappeared into the distant sky.

The tenderness of the orb did not last long, and it soon began to spin like a whirlwind, turning faster and faster, completely merging with the smoke, and no one could see it clearly.

Suddenly, the light vanished, and the darkness of the earth came again, darker than before. The bright moon in the distant sky was hazy and hung quietly on the horizon. Everyone looked at each other and didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"What is this?" Nong Tieshu stood up suddenly. A brilliant orb appeared on their table.

Nong Qingyun held it in his hand, as if he was afraid that someone would take it away.

"This, this seems to be the jewel in the sky just now!" One of the disciples was so frightened that he was about to kneel down and bow down to the orb.

Another disciple hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't be stupid, that orb is so big, this orb is so small, who is making a trick, right?" After saying that, he stood up again and shouted to the four, "Who is playing tricks?" Who changed a jewel to come out? ”

"Shut up!" Nong Qingyun snorted. Before the disciple could get scared, he rolled on the ground with his head in his hands.

Suddenly, several young disciples in the south also fell one after another. Then the disciples from the west, east, and north all started to stir up. The sound of wailing and the clashing of tables and chairs came and went. Some people clutched their chests and couldn't breathe, some people cried and rolled, and some people were unconscious.

"Tie Shu, how are you?" After Nong Qingyun stuffed the orb into his arms, he stretched out his hand to check Nong Tieshu's pulse. Nong Tieshu's face was as earthy as color, he propped up the table with his hands, and vomited several times in a row.

"You are poisoned, I suspect that the disciples are all poisoned! Come, take the herb pill! Nong Qingyun pushed a pill into Nong Tieshu's mouth and handed her another glass of water, "You take a break, I'll go and give the disciples a hundred herbs!" ”

Nong Qingyun went to the pharmacy to get a few bottles of Baicao Dan, and when he came out, Nong Tieshu had already recovered his spirits: "Dad, I'll help you." ”

Nong Qingyun nodded, and the two of them gave all the poisoned disciples Baicao Pill one by one.

With a stick of incense, the toxicity in all the disciples' bodies had been cleared, and Nong Qingyun breathed a long sigh of relief. He was tired, but he had a smile on his face.

"Dad, fortunately, Baicao Dan can detoxify this poison, what the hell is going on? How do we get poisoned? Nong Tieshu asked, she was also relieved, but she didn't think it was ridiculous.

was poisoned inexplicably, and she was frightened for a long time, and now even if her enemy dies, she may not be able to laugh.

"In the future, our Shennong Palace will get better and better." Nong Qingyun's smile became brighter and brighter.

"Dad, what are you laughing at?" Nong Tieshu couldn't help but ask.

Nong Qingyun smiled but did not answer, turned to help the people, took out the Shennong Pearl from his arms, held it high, and said loudly: "Listen to the disciples, this treasure is called the Shennong Treasure Pearl, and it is the treasure of our Shennong Palace. Just now, the disciple desecrated the orb and was punished for it. Thank God for the blessing of God, on the night of the full moon, the orb was lost and recovered! It can help Shennong Palace defeat any enemy and become the number one gang in the world! All the disciples follow me to bow to the Shennong Jewel! ”

Nong Qingyun carefully placed the Shennong Orb on the table, knelt on his knees, and bowed: "Nong Qingyun, the one hundred and first palace master of Shennong Palace, led all the disciples in the palace to pray for the Shennong Orb to bless Shennong Palace to be strong and prosperous!" ”

"Shennong Treasure Pearl, Shennong Palace is strong and prosperous!" The disciples bowed down reverently, and did not dare to be disrespectful in front of this orb that almost cost them their lives.

Nong Qingyun stayed awake all night.

Early the next morning, he called his eldest disciple Bao Tiannu, his second disciple Li Zigang, and his third disciple Yongmen Guang.

The solemnity on Master's face and the low tone of his voice indicated that they were likely to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

Bao Tiannu's face did not change, he was a calm and steady person, no matter what he heard, his emotions would not make too many waves.

Li Zigang is elated, he is still childlike, never fights for power and profit, and has no sense of responsibility, but he can do his best for what he likes to do.

Yongmen Guang smiled secretly, he was ambitious and exposed, and there was no one in Shennong Palace who did not know that he coveted the position of palace master.

"You go to Ying Tianfu."

"Ying Tianfu?" Li Zigang was overjoyed, he had never been out of Hubei, let alone the capital. The bustling streets and alleys there, the busy traffic, the eight treasures and jade food, the fine wines, and even the red, pink and green buildings all attract him.

Nong Qingyun glared at him, and Li Zigang lowered his head, not letting the ecstasy in his heart get in the way of Nong Qingyun's eyes.

"You go to the palace to find Concubine Shu, I have a letter here, you bring it to her." Nong Qingyun picked up a letter on the bookcase, blew it a few times, folded it, put it in the envelope, and handed it to Bao Tiannu.

Bao Tiannu silently took the envelope and did not ask any questions. Yongmen Guang couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Master, what are we going to the capital for?" If it was just to send a letter, Master wouldn't have let all three of us go, would he? ”

"Even if I only send a letter, I don't plan to hide it from you, you entered Beijing this time for the Shennong Treasure Pearl."

"Shennong Orb!" Li Zigang and Yongmen Guang exclaimed at the same time, and even the most stable Bao Tiannu widened his eyes.

Horror, worry, and respect all appeared.

None of the three of them wanted to have anything to do with Shennong Baozhu, at least for now. They don't know when an unintentional word or an action will desecrate the sacred object, and the lesson of last night will be unforgettable.

"Don't panic, as long as you respect the jewel in your heart, you will be fine."

"We, we're going to take the orb on the road?" Yongmen Guang asked.

"No, the Shennong Orb can't leave Shennong Palace."

"Remember, don't let anyone else know about your visit to the palace and the orb, or the orb will be guilty of you."

"Yes, Master, the disciple doesn't dare!"

"Go, let's go now!"
