Chapter 137 [Compassion Nunnery]

The meeting with King Zhennan was not pleasant, Nangong Wanhua got into a sedan chair and beckoned Ge Xian to come in together.

"King Zhennan is ambitious, and the current situation is favorable to him, so it seems insignificant to cooperate with us, and even speculate on our intentions, after all, your father has long wanted to get rid of him, but he is limited to the fact that he is the only blood and bone of Taizu's lineage now, and he is afraid of violating the rules set by Taizong." Ge Xian saw that her face was a little tired, so he took the initiative to knead her shoulders for her, in fact, he used the spiritual power of Xiaoyao Jue to soothe the emotions in her body.

Back then, after Taizong raised troops to seize the throne, he once made an oath that if there was only one descendant left in Taizu's lineage, then his descendants would never harm him, and he would ensure that Taizu's bloodline would not be severed.

Although it was a somewhat pedantic decision, it made a large number of civil and military ministers come to their hearts, and many ministers who originally defected to Taizu accepted Taizong instead.

Therefore, although King Zhennan has taken nearly 100 concubines over the years, most of them are rewards from King Lu, he has not given birth to any heirs for a long time, and he is still the only bloodline descendant of Taizu, which actually ensures his undefeated status, and even King Lu has to send people to protect his safety.

After a period of kneading, Nangong Wanhua felt a lot more relaxed, let out a long breath, and said: "My uncle is very deep in the city, and in order to maintain his identity as the only ancestor heir, he did not hesitate to harm his health to ensure that he could not give birth to an heir. ”

"How can such a thing happen? Aren't you afraid that if you ascend to the throne in the future, you will lose your inheritance? Ge Xian asked puzzled.

Nangong Wanhua shook her head and said: "I don't know either, but there are also rumors that he has just cultivated a unique secret method of the Evil Punishment Sect behind his back, which can temporarily seal his essence and make the women around him unable to get pregnant." ”

"There must be women who are desperate to get pregnant, right?" Ge Xian speculated.

"Yes, in the past 20 years, more than ten concubines of King Zhennan have given birth to heirs, but they were all screened out by Dali Temple, not the heirs of Prince Zhennan, but the women who fornicated with outsiders, and finally these people mysteriously disappeared." Nangong Wanhua also found out about these records after coming back in the past two years.

Ge Xian shook his head with emotion and said, "The palace is indeed the most complicated place in the world, and there are too many people who will do whatever it takes for the sake of the end. ”

"You are not unreasonable, fortunately, my mother and concubine have long been aware of this and sent me out of the palace early, and my father didn't care because I was a woman, but jumped out of these pickled things." Nangong Wanhua instructed the guards to rush to a Buddhist place in the north of the city, and this time they were going to the sect forces represented by Dong Guifei in the court.

Concubine Dong Guifei is the four major concubines beside King Lu, second only to the queen in status, and has always coveted the position of the queen. However, as King Lu has grown older over the years, he has gradually become less concerned about the affairs of men and women, and hopes that the harem will be peaceful, but his relationship with the queen has become more and more solid, which makes Concubine Dong Guifei very dissatisfied.

There is a nunnery in the north of the city that is full of incense, called "Cixin Nunnery", which is the sect force that supports Dong Guifei.

The overall area of the nunnery is not large, covers an area of about 20 acres, there are more than 50 nuns in the nunnery, the presiding master Xuanjing is said to be profound, is a celebrity in the city of Lu. Dong Guifei will give rewards or come to worship in person every big and small festival, and Cixin Nunnery also specially sent two inner disciples to follow Dong Guifei to protect her.

When I came to the outside of the nunnery, it was already close to evening at this time, and the general mercy nunnery was not entertaining at night, but after Nangong Wanhua revealed the identity of the princess, she still made an exception to get in, as for the other attendants, only Ge Xian followed up, and everyone else stayed outside the nunnery.

The nunnery is dedicated to a celestial maiden, with a peugeot appearance and a noble temperament, even if it is a sculpture, it looks very moving, and it seems that it has been blessed by magic.

Responsible for the reception of two nuns of high status, in the mercy nunnery, the status of the heavenly maiden is the highest, followed by the earth girl, followed by the Xuannu, and the second is the dust girl. The presiding Xuanjing master is the earth girl, and everyone else calls them "Xuannu".

One of them was tall, and the other was half a head shorter, both of them were dressed in moon-white monk robes.

The tall man, holding the Buddha beads in his hand, stood with one palm on his chest, and said to Nangong Wanhua: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this nunnery is a place of Qing cultivation, and there is no hustle and bustle. ”

"It's okay, this palace thinks this place is very clean, and it is more suitable for people to rest." Nangong Wanhua, accompanied by these two Xuannu, came to the statue of the Heavenly Maiden to salute, she was not like ordinary mortal men and women, she made a big salute, but only met with the rites of the sect.

The short Xuannu saw that her movements were not very beneficial, so she said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, this is a great lady of heaven, don't be rude." ”

"Oh, the Heavenly Maiden Dazun Shenlong sees the head but not the tail, but the gods and men, ordinary people see it, and naturally they have to bow and worship. However, this palace has been practicing in Myoku Mountain since he was a child, and he believes in Myoku Zhenjun, so it is naturally inconvenient to make a big gift. Nangong Wanhua explained.

Seeing this, the tall Xuannu smiled and said: "It turns out that the princess is the Ninth Highness - the Miaokong Fairy, disrespectful and disrespectful, wait for the poor nun to inform the host." ”

Soon, the two Xuannu entered the back hall and carried out the communication, Nangong Wanhua was not in a hurry, and sat cross-legged on the futon and waited.

Ge Xian has maintained a silent posture since he came in, even if Nangong Wanhua asked him, he didn't reply, just comforted her with his eyes.

About half a pillar of incense later, the two Xuannu went and returned, inviting Nangong Wanhua to meet the host, and Ge Xian asked to be stayed, although he was a eunuch on the surface, but in the land of Buddhism, it was not limited to the difference between men and women.

"Don't worry, I'm right there for you." A primordial light fell on Nangong Wanhua, which made her feel much more relieved, and followed the two Xuannu into it and came to the backyard, which was even cleaner and a little heavily guarded.

The disciples of the Compassion Nunnery are famous and upright, under the monk's robe, but there is a soft righteous spiritual power, a ball of light flows up, this is their unique magic weapon, called "Moon Shadow Divine Bead", which can be divided into wartime and peacetime.

In wartime, it can be turned into a weapon, and in peacetime, it can be turned into a streamer wrapped around everyone, and in the daytime, due to the sunlight, it is naturally invisible, and at night, it will gradually appear, especially when the moon phase is more complete, the more powerful.

At this time, under the leadership of the two Xuannu, they came to the last door, and there were two tall and strong nuns standing in the middle, if it weren't for some physical characteristics, they would hardly have thought that these two people were also women.

"The two senior sisters are polite, the host just now invited me to meet this Miaokong fairy." The tall Xuannu said, and when the two nun guards saw this, their eyes swept over Nangong Wanhua like a falcon, and then one of them stretched out his palm towards her.

I only heard the guard say, "Please leave the Ruyi package and weapons before you can meet the host." ”

The conditions were very harsh, but Nangong Wanhua thought about it and agreed, handing over the package and a weapon that she usually used, as for her natal spirit treasure, it was naturally still in her body.

Seeing that she was very cooperative, the two nun guards stopped blocking her, and stood on both sides, signaling that she could enter.

The three of them continued to enter, and finally came to the courtyard inside, and then stopped in front of a meditation room.

"Presiding, the ninth princess has arrived." The tall lady asked.

"Well, please come in." A slightly lazy voice came, and Nangong Wanhua felt that Master Xuanjing was still quite different from what she imagined.

"There's an enchantment here, be careful." Ge Xian reminded.

Nangong Wanhua hesitated slightly, then took off her shoes and put on clogs, and the door automatically opened to both sides, and it was a plain environment inside.

A woman with hair and practice was reciting a scripture with her back to her, as if she was doing her homework, and although she couldn't see her appearance, judging from the figure behind her, she was definitely a graceful woman, which was completely unexpected by her.

Nangong Wanhua also knew the rules of cultivation, so she knelt on the futon beside her, closed her eyes and recuperated, waiting for the host to finish her practice.

About an hour later, the other party finished chanting and slowly turned around.

This is the first time Nangong Wanhua has seen this host, and she was shocked at first sight, because her appearance is very similar to her mother who died early, at least seventy percent similar, but there is no tenderness and sadness between her eyebrows, and instead of a touch of sharpness and scrutiny.

"Nine Princesses, or call you the Fairy of the Wonderful Sky?" Master Xuan Jing asked.

Nangong Wanhua was stunned, then came to her senses, lowered her head and said, "Call me Wanhua, my name is Nangong Wanhua." ”

"Oh, Your Highness's name is not something that my monk can call at will, let's call you Miaokong Fairy, we don't have a difference in identity today, so let's meet as Taoist friends, how about it?" Master Xuan Jing was also looking at Nangong Wanhua, and secretly had a plan in her heart.

Nangong Wanhua seemed to be still immersed in the thoughts of her mother just now, and at this time, she was a little distracted, and Ge Xian had no choice but to drill a spiritual power from her shoulder and neck, making her spiritual platform return to clarity.

"Miaokong Fairy, this time, I must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, it is better to explain in the future, poor nuns are easy to answer." Master Xuanjing shook the dust in her hand, and suddenly a cup of tea was brewed at some point, and then slowly fell in front of her.

The tea is fragrant, with a unique fragrance of flowers and plants, which is very refreshing.

"Thank you." Nangong Wanhua was reminded by Ge Xian that the tea was not unusual, so she took a sip with confidence and then put it down.

She looked around the room and found that this meditation room was indeed elegant, but there was a strange place, there was a portrait hanging on one side of the wall, but it was two young nuns, if you looked closely, you would find that the two nuns looked very similar, like a pair of sisters.

Suddenly, Nangong Wanhua's whole body trembled a little, she got up slowly, regardless of the dissatisfaction in Xuanjing's eyes at this moment, came to the portrait and asked, "Master, who are the two people in this painting?" ”

Master Xuan Jing frowned and replied unhappily: "It's not worth mentioning, isn't Daoist asking too much?" ”

"No, I just want to ask, does Mrs. Shi know Mu Hua?" As Nangong Wanrong said this name, a solemn atmosphere suddenly appeared in the entire room, and the originally calm Master Xuan Jing became terrifying.
