() The two old men came over after playing chess......

Since I've sent her to you, junior brother. My task has been successfully completed, and the rest is up to you, junior brother. I hope you will live up to Master's trust and achieve success as soon as possible.

Senior brother, please rest assured, I have waited for so many years, and finally come to the last moment, and I will definitely bring this matter to a successful conclusion.

The senior brother stopped and smiled with satisfaction. Then I'll go first, and I'll be ready to die in seven days. Senior brother is good for himself, Master and I are waiting for you at the Nine Heavens Spirit Platform.

The junior brother worshiped the Buddha and said: It's easy to say, it's easy to go!

The old monk who was called the senior brother was holding a Zen staff and disappeared.

Seven days later, the death knell sounded in Taichang Temple......

Thousand... Laborious... Ancestor... Division... Round... Quiet......

The little monk on the bell tower kept shouting repeatedly with a long cavity. All the monks of Taichang Temple gathered in the chanting hall for a while, and the sound of transcendence came from this royal temple, and the sound traveled thousands of miles......

Qiu Cheng came to Patriarch Qianxin, his eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, and he shook his hands and put his palms together.

Congratulations to Master, get rid of the sea of suffering as soon as possible! After speaking, bow down and bow, and go to the funeral ceremony of Buddhism.

That night, Qiu Wei was still holding the master's rosary and secretly wiping tears under the lamp. Suddenly, a small monk knocked on the door: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, and he is now in the palace. A message was sent to let Uncle Shi go to the audience.

Qiu Wei wiped away his tears and admitted: "Got it! Go down!"

He wiped his tears, put on his cloud flag robe again, blew out the wax fire, and strode towards the palace where the prince was located.

In the palace, the prince brought pastries from the imperial dining room, and after Xiao Tuanzi poured tea for Qiu Wei, His Royal Highness the prince said: Patriarch Qianxin passed away, and I came to mourn. Master Qiu also asked for condolences......

Qiu Wei also saluted: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has every opportunity every day, and stayed in Taichang Temple late at night to mourn Master Qianxin. I thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his grace.

This is the green bamboo cake from the Imperial Dining Room...... The prince graciously took a piece of green pastry and handed it to Qiu Wei.

Qiu Hao blocked it with his sleeve: Thank you, Your Highness, the master passed away, and the temple was forbidden to fast. Forgive the old minister for not being able to use it.

The prince smiled awkwardly: Oh! Yes, yes, Buddhism has the rules of Buddhism. The late life made the master laugh.

Qiu Wei knew that the prince was visiting late at night, and he must have something to ask, so he asked bluntly: Your Highness, you came to find the old minister late at night, I don't know if there is anything important?

The prince smiled lightly: "It's not very important, but I don't know how the last time I asked the master to do it?"

Oh, hehe! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rest assured, since I, Qiu Hao, have agreed, I will definitely handle it impartially. The demon girl of the demon world has been beaten into the Shengjie Mountain Canyon by me, although the body has not been found, but after receiving my palm, it is estimated that it will be nine deaths. It won't come out to harm sentient beings anytime soon.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chuckled in his heart when he heard the 'Shengjie Mountain', and hurriedly asked: Shengjie Mountain?

Qiu Ying didn't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so nervous, and looked at Long San suspiciously: Yes, why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so nervous?

The prince hurriedly threw away the green bamboo cake, grabbed Master Qiu Wei's arm and asked: Is there a fairy sect on Shengjie Mountain, called Sanshanmen?

Qiu Wei nodded inexplicably......

Is there a girl surnamed Dao in the Sanshan Gate?

Qiu Wei replied: I don't know if there is a girl surnamed Dao, but the witch's surname is Nalan and her name is Piaoxue. He looks like he is no more than twenty years old, but his skills are not small.

The prince was stunned at this time, he let go of Qiu Xuan, his eyes suddenly became dull, and he still read silently: Dao Meimei, Nalan Piaoxue, Baili Nebula, Mao Xiaoxian, how is this possible?

Qiu Wei asked puzzledly: Your Royal Highness the Prince, what's wrong with you?

The prince hurriedly said:

Masters?

There must be some misunderstanding here. The Nalan Piaoxue you killed is the head of the Sanshan Sect, and there is no one in the Sanshan Sect who is a wrongdoer. I can guarantee this.

Suddenly, a little guard with a sword next to him interjected: Yes! When my aunt and I were captured by the Dragon and Tiger Gate, it was the head of the Sanshan Gate that rescued us, they were all good people, how could they endanger the people?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned around and said, "Nanyu, I will talk to the master, and you must not interject!

Nan Yu clenched his fists and stepped back......

Qiu Wei stroked his beard and said to the prince: But...... Everyone said that the case of abandoning the corpse was committed by the demon world, if the rumors were wrong. So who is the real culprit?

Although we don't know who the real culprit is, I'm sure it must not have been done by someone from Sanshanmen!

Qiu Wei smiled bitterly: Hehe...... The old minister would rather believe that it is not the daughter of the demon world who does evil.

The prince was very interested in this. You could sense from Qiu Xuan's tone that there was something in his words, so he asked, "Oh, why did the master believe her?"

Qiu Wei explained: Your Highness doesn't know something. Patriarch Qianxin knew the witch when he was alive. It was also calculated that she was the goddess of the six-pointed star retreat, and the nether realm was to calm the immortal chaos and reorganize the hundreds of wasted mountains and rivers. So I'd rather believe what the prince says.

The prince was shocked: Ahhh

The court has an order, and as a minister, it is natural for me to serve the prince. Moreover, the teacher said that the daughter of the demon world is the goddess of salvation, but she doesn't know how to save the world. If the lives of tens of millions of people are used to return to peace and stability, then whether to save the world or destroy the world is a matter of wisdom for the benevolent and wise.

These words made the prince benefit a lot. Qiu Wei is worthy of being a high-ranking monk, and he has his own judgment on good and evil. But even so, he still believes that Sanshanmen is definitely not an organization that brings disaster to the country and the people.

Master, it's better to do this, let's do and see what the demon world is going to do. If someone really creates a series of illusions to deliberately smear the Three Senses, then there is certainly an ulterior conspiracy behind it. We must not allow them to go unpunished. If it is really Nalan Piaoxue who kills innocents indiscriminately, then whether she is the savior or not, we must also handle it impartially and stop her evil deeds.

Qiu Wei nodded in agreement, and said:

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Master, please will!

When I went to Shengjie Mountain to arrest the witch, the desert tribe raided and arrested the people of Shengjie Mountain. I don't know if it's a gang dispute or if it's another plan.

The prince anxiously asked, "What about the Knife Girl?"

Qiu Wei saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so worried about the sword girl, and he didn't know what was there. Although the monks are pure, they should use worldly eyes when looking at people with worldliness. I thought in my heart: His Royal Highness the Prince of Bao Buqi is tempted by the knife girl, otherwise why don't you mention that others only care about the knife girl?

Your Highness, you are a knife girl, could it be that Your Highness had a fateful friendship with her?

Only then did Long San feel that he had lost his status as a prince. Busy explained:

I don't know if the master still remembers the case of General Babu moving back to Beijing two years ago and conspiring with Li Mi, the squire of the military department, to force the palace to rebel?

Of course, I remember! At that time, all the scholars of the Hanlin Temple came to Taichang Temple for refuge.

It was during that civil strife that forced me, my father, and all the military ministers to retreat to the Qianqing Palace. At that time, it was the Knife Maiden who took her sisters to sweep away the chaos and save the holy car. So I've always regarded her as a benefactor, and I've always wanted to find an opportunity to thank her. However, in the past two years, my father's body has been unstable, and most of the government has fallen on my head, so the matter has been delayed.

Only then did Qiu Ying understand that the prince was full of knife girls.

Your Highness, according to this, Sanshanmen is also a hero of the imperial court

？

Of course, after the Balang Palace subsided, the father and emperor deliberately let the sword girl and her sisters into the palace, preparing to give them the title of marquis and prime minister. But they are unwilling, and they are very indifferent to fame and fortune. Although my father felt very regretful, it was not difficult for him to be strong. But who knows, after Balang was detained by Li Mi and other rebels by the Criminal Department, the barbarians in the north took advantage of the situation and raised troops to occupy our Daming border fortress. Fortunately, I promptly appeased the Nanhai Sword Sect and appointed Nan Yingying, the head of the Nanhai Sword Sect, as the generalissimo of Pingbei, and her husband Jun Chaohu as the pioneer of the Guangming Battalion. Only then did the Northern Desert barbarians be kept out. And this generalissimo Nan (Nan Yingying) was once met in Shengjie Mountain. The guard with a knife behind me is Nan Yu, the nephew of the generalissimo Nan.

While listening to the prince's narration, Qiu Wei squinted at Nan Yu behind the prince. Then he asked:

I heard that the Nanhai Sword Sect is one of the top ten sword sects famous in the rivers and lakes, why do you want to join the imperial court? It can't be just to contribute to the Ming Dynasty, right?

The crown prince clarified for Nanyu:

This is all because I received the favor of the South China Sea Sword Sect back then. When the Sanshan Sect was established, there was a dispute. At the critical juncture, it was Nan Yingying and the disciples of the Nanhai Sword Sect who escorted me all the way to Yannan Mountain. At that time, I promised that he would only need to say a word if he wanted something every day! Unexpectedly, some time ago, the Dragon Tiger Sect was full of evil, and it also annexed the remaining eight major sword sects. The head of the south was forced to ask for help from me, wanting the imperial court to send troops to stop the evil deeds of Longhumen. But at that time, the northern desert was invading, and I was in danger. Looking at the government and the opposition, most of them are old ministers who follow their father. There were really no available people, so in order to protect the Nanhai Sword Sect, I let them enter the palace collectively. First, I can avoid the persecution of the Dragon and Tiger Gate, and second, I can help me resist the invasion of barbarians.

Qiu Wei couldn't help but look at this prince with admiration. At a young age, he can already stand alone. Inheriting the throne in the future will surely be a blessing for all people.

Since the departure of the first emperor, the Ming Dynasty has been peaceful for a hundred years. All the civil and military generals have also become lazy and lazy. There are a few loyal and brave people who are also old, weak and disabled, and they should train some late students to serve the court in the future.

When the prince heard this, he suddenly thought in his heart:

Master, why don't you take Nanyu from my side? The child lost his father at an early age, and he has always been carried by Marshal Nan and his wife. But now that they are all at the border, there is no one to take care of this child, so I took it with me. If he can get the enlightenment of Master Qiu Xuan, he will definitely be able to become the mainstay of the new generation of my Ming Dynasty in the future.

Qiu Wei thought for a while and said:

Taichang Temple is different from other Buddhism because most of the monks here are relatives of the emperor. But everyone who comes to join must escape into the empty door. The child was too young to be retired. I'm afraid that the six roots are not pure, so ......

The crown prince understood what Qiu Cheng meant, although what Qiu said was reasonable. But I'm still a little disappointed:

Since the master refuses to accept Nanyu, then I will no longer be reluctant. When he's older, we'll talk about it.

Your Highness, it's not that you won't take him in, although he can't enter my door, but he can enter Taichang Temple as a trainee waiter. When he has a certain temperament, it will not be too late for me to teach him according to his aptitude!

Qiu Wei said this very wisely, although the implication is to accept Nan Yu, but whether he can become a talent or not depends on Nan Yu himself. However, this is already an opportunity that many people can hardly dream of. Once you enter the Taichang Temple, you can study with the royal children, and in the future, you will obviously have a prominent background in the imperial court.

The crown prince thanked Qiu Yu on behalf of Nanyu, in other words:

By the way, Master Qiu Wei? Now the matter of Shengjie Mountain can be put to an end for the time being. But Longhumen has always been a big problem for the imperial court. I wonder what the master has to say?

Qiu Wei thought for a moment, stroked his beard and said:

In the words of the old minister, I advise His Highness not to meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes. The Dragon Tiger Gate is no better than the Northern Desert barbarians. After all, Beimo is an outsider, and Longhumen is the Jianghu force of my Ming Dynasty. If the imperial court sends troops to suppress it without authorization, it may be dissatisfied. In the end, the officials/coercion/people/anti, the people had to rebel.
