"Could it be that he is...... Go and see if he is still in the courtyard, and if so, invite him into the main hall. The old monk commanded.

"Master wants to see him? Who is he? The little novice asked in surprise.

"It seems that there are far more nobles gathered in the City God Temple tonight than the teacher expected." The old monk stroked the white beard and said.

Xiao Shami obeyed the orders of the old monk, picked up the lamp again, and walked out of the door of the main hall, and saw the figure of the bewitching man who was still carefully gazing at every corner of this courtyard under the quiet moonlight, and seemed to be a little disappointed and was about to turn away, so he hurriedly carried the lamp and went forward to salute him, and invited, "Amitabha, donor, the master of my house has invited the donor to enter the main hall for a while." ”

"Your master?" When the bewitching man heard this, he turned around and said with a puzzled expression.

"Exactly, donor, please." As he spoke, the little novice began to walk in front of him with a lantern to lead the way, and the bewitching man followed closely behind towards the main hall with the plaque of "Daxiong Treasure Hall" hanging on the mast of a brightly lit temple in front of him.

Daxiong Treasure Palace, five rooms wide, four rooms deep, all clean and solemn, the center of the terrace is equipped with a furnace copper tripod.

The tall Sumeru seat is carved with white marble masonry, crystal white. On the seat, the golden body Buddha statue of Buddha Yingmu Ni, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, a serene demeanor, and eighteen fine iron gilt Arhat statues are enshrined against the wall on both sides.

In the main hall, an old monk in a robe is reverently burning incense and worshipping.

As soon as the bewitching man entered the main hall, the old monk slowly paced towards him with kind eyebrows, handed the three-pillar sandalwood that he had just lit for this person to his hand, and persuaded him, "Donor, since you are here, you are a person who is destined for the Buddha, please put on the pillar incense!" ”

Although the bewitching man was disdainful of this god and Buddha in his heart, he still seemed to be deeply shocked by the situation and atmosphere in front of him, and he involuntarily slowly stretched out his hand to take the three sandalwood sticks, and stepped forward to insert them into the incense burner in front of the Buddha.

At this time, the old monk said, "The donor is full of heaven, dignified appearance, and extraordinary temperament, what a good appearance!" It's just that I don't know why this hour is in this courtyard. At this time, this is not the time to welcome pilgrims. ”

Hearing this, the bewitching man was still a little unruly and arrogant with one hand, and tilted his head to explain to him, "Master, forgive me, although I came here late at night, I have no malice. It was only because he had just seen an old man in the front yard who also came into this courtyard, so he followed him in. ”

"What is the donor's intention in chasing that chief?" The old monk was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"I... I was just looking for my sister who had fallen into the water and disappeared in the vicinity, and just as I was about to leave the temple, I happened to hear a few words from the chief, and I was a little curious, and I wanted to ask him what he meant. But he didn't want to, but the Taoist suddenly disappeared. After hesitating, the bewitching man replied.

In fact, he was just curious, wanting to know what the green-robed old Taoist and the sneaky-looking third prince of Dongning Kingdom were talking about.

Only then did the old monk realize that the conversation between Fang and the three princes of Dongning had been overheard by this person. It's okay, let's see if the rumored Prince Nan'an is really so indifferent to fame and fortune and uninhibited.

So, he asked,

I wonder what kind of good words the donor has just heard? I might as well say to the old monk that I will listen to it, perhaps, the old monk can also help the donor understand a thing or two? ”

"You?" The bewitching man was suddenly stunned by the words of the unashamed old monk in front of him.

"Yes, it's the old monk me." The old monk stroked his beard and nodded at it, and said with a smile.

The bewitching man looked at the old monk's eyes in a daze, but suddenly seemed to see a rare clear realm in the world, as if it contained a great wisdom.

So, he tried to speak slowly, "The true dragon goes out to sea, the spirit and the sky are unified, the phoenix nirvana, reborn from the fire, life is death, death is also life." ”

Hearing this, the old monk stroked his beard and pretended to repeat it again, and said, "Before answering the meaning of the donor's words, can the old monk ask the donor a few questions?" Oh, of course... If the donor is inconvenient to answer, he may not answer. ”

Unexpectedly, the bewitching man didn't even think about it, and blurted out to him sideways, "What does the master want to ask?" ”

The old monk looked at the man in front of him carefully again, "May I ask the donor, but it is the rumored one in the world, 'does not love the country and loves the grass', and loves the freedom, unrestrained, and uninhibited His Royal Highness the Prince of Nan'anguo." ”

"How do you know?" The bewitching man was taken aback, and immediately turned to the old monk and was stunned.

"The donor is to admit his identity...... 'indifferent to fame and fortune, no quarrel with the world, the original nature of human beings', so that a life is comfortable and comfortable, which is naturally a good thing. It's just that since the donor was born in the emperor's family and is the prince of a country, he spends his days in vain, regardless of whether the people of Li under the protection of his wings are rich in food and clothing, and whether they are in dire straits. This... It seems that the donor is too unresponsible, just ask this, how to inherit the Ming Jun of this country in the future? The old monk asked seriously.

"Hmph... There are many Ming monarchs in this world, and there are only four people in this Lingkong Continent, what about the prince alone? Besides, 'everyone has their own ambitions', this Shennong tastes a hundred herbs, isn't it also to help the world and save the world! My Yi Sanshao's Baicao Valley and Baicao Hall are full of strange flowers and plants, who in the world can be defeated? Unexpectedly, the bewitching man's heart did not feel guilty at all for what he had done, but replied proudly.

Hearing this, the old monk was once again shocked by his words. It seems that this prince of Nan'an really lives up to his name and is extraordinary, paused for a moment, and then asked, "But Shennong finally died on a broken intestine grass." If the donor really has no intention of going to the court, then has he ever seriously thought about what the future of Nan'an Guo should be? Could it be that the donor is really willing to hand over the great rivers and mountains that his parents have worked so hard to make people, so that everyone in the world will sneer at him? ”

"Why not hand over Nan'an to the hands of Mingjun's capable people and make it get a better future? As long as the lives of the Li people in Nan'an are getting better and better, what does it matter who is the ruling king? The bewitching man asked the old monk rhetorically.

The old monk was stunned, he didn't expect this descendant of Nan'an to be so aware of righteousness. It seems that this Spiritual Sky Continent has indeed come to reunify.

In this way, the old monk no longer had any doubts. However, the old monk implored the benefactor not to forget what he said in front of the Buddha today

Cut, Amitabha, good, good! The old monk finally folded his hands and saluted the Buddha.

"A manly man, once he says it, it is difficult to chase the horse, of course, words count, the master should not despise the prince." The bewitching man swore to him.

So, the old monk said leisurely, "The spirit and the sky are unified, there is no doubt about this sentence." But this, what is a 'dragon'? What is 'Phoenix'? What is 'life'? What does it mean to be 'dead'? What is 'Nirvana'? ”

"What is a 'dragon'? What is 'Phoenix'? What is 'life'? What does it mean to be 'dead'? What is Nirvana...... What the master meant was ......" The bewitching man silently repeated with him, and suddenly seemed to have slowly understood, and suddenly widened the pair of gentle and slender peach blossom eyes, and exclaimed at him without saying anything, and the old monk was still beside him only nodding and smiling.

In the heart of the bewitching man, it was obvious that he had already felt something.

After a while, the old monk suddenly asked the bewitching man, "By the way, the old monk, I heard the donor say that he is looking for his sister who has fallen into the water and disappeared near here, have you found it?" ”

Hearing this, the bewitching man came back to his senses, but he shook his head helplessly.

"What's going on? The donor may wish to talk about it. The old monk said.

The bewitching man thought to himself, anyway, he had been searching for many days, but there was no progress, as if the clouds on his clothes had really evaporated from the world, and he was about to be defeated by his own tenacious will. simply, he also told him all the things that happened on the cliff of Beishan one by one.

After listening to the ins and outs of the whole matter, the old monk suddenly realized that this prince of Nan'an was actually familiar with Yi Shangyun and King Qin, so he asked, "I don't know what is the relationship between the donor and the missing girl?" As the donor said, she is just the sister of the donor. ”

She ...... She is the only person in this world that Prince Ben wants but seems to never get. Younger sister...... Hmph, it's better than nothing! The bewitching man smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

"The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, it turns out that Shi is not in the country and the court, in addition to Baicao, he is also a suave infatuated lover. It's just that Hongchen is troubled and affectionate, which is contrary to the donor's uninhibited unrestrainedness. As everyone knows, the love in the world is mostly deep and shallow, and it comes and goes in a hurry, everything is like a dream bubble, and when the song ends, it is just an inch of broken liver and sausage. The old monk said.

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall, and there was no sound.

"It's late at night, so Prince Ben won't bother much, see you again!" After being silent for a long time, the bewitching man suddenly came back to his senses, and then said goodbye to the old monk.

"Donor take care!" The old monk said to his back, which had been turned slightly.

Just as the bewitching man just stepped out of the threshold, the little novice who had been guarding outside the hall came in and closed the door until there was only a gap, and suddenly the voice of the old monk floated out again, saying, "'The peach blossoms and pink of the small shop, and the green smoke of willows and willows. "If the donor is looking for someone, you might as well go here, 'life is death, and death is also life'." ’”

Hearing this, the bewitching man suddenly came to his senses and said, "'The peach blossoms and pink posture of the small shop, and the green tobacco of the willow on the mob. "Could it be that the three princes of Dongning are also looking for girls......"
