disguised holy monk

The next day, Xuanqing got up early to prepare the utensils for the Longevity Day in the house, and Xiangguo Temple also came to give him some required scriptures and other items.

Seeing Xuan Qing studying Buddhist scriptures, Lin Yi specially ordered his servants not to disturb him.In fact, Xuanqing was thinking hard about the system's mission requirements of "astonishing as heaven and man".

It seems like it’s been a long time since I’ve acted aggressively. Since the rewards for this mission are counted by the number of people and there’s no upper limit, how many people will be there that day?

As for setting up an altar, chanting scriptures and celebrating birthdays, if you follow the usual procedures in the past, it is just a scripture, not difficult, and not amazing enough.

He has to plan carefully, how to "surprise the heavenly man".

Xuan Qing was meditating in the room, and after a while, the Lin family welcomed the prince's people.It turned out that Nan Shuyan sent someone to invite Xuan Qing to the banquet, which was called asking for Buddhist scriptures.

Xuan Qing didn't want to go at first, but he was the crown prince, and he couldn't refuse even if he came to invite him like this.In the end, they had no choice but to go to the banquet together with Wuxin.

……

Nan Shuyan went out of the palace in regular clothes today, and the banquet venue was set at the Wushui Pavilion where he often went.This place is very private, it is all private rooms, and there are singing and dancing instruments.He has become more and more irritable recently. Since the youngest son was appointed king and left the palace, more and more forces have attached to him. Even his father has valued him more and more.As the crown prince of the East Palace, he is getting less and less attention.

Thinking that the Holy Majesty values ​​Buddhism, and this time he appreciates Xuan Qing so much, winning him over may be a big help for him.

What about monks?Isn't he also a man?And if he is really obsessed with Buddhist scriptures, he can also do what he likes.

The corners of Nan Shuyan's lips curled up slightly, while sipping tea lightly, while enjoying the singing and dancing.

On the other side, Xuanqing got out of the carriage, and the servants who had been waiting for a long time took him in respectfully.

He went all the way up to the second floor, but he didn't see anyone else. It must be Nan Shuyan who booked this place.

He was led into one of the largest private rooms, facing Nan Shuyan, who was wearing a brocade robe, leaning on the table with his head propped on his hands, while a group of slender women were dancing.

Xuan Qing was stunned, his brows were cold, he looked at Nan Shuyan with some hesitation and bowed, "His Royal Highness..."

Nan Shuyan noticed him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Master Xuanqing is here, please take a seat."

Xuan Qing paused, as if he was extremely uncomfortable with this kind of scene, he avoided the women in the field and sat aside.

Nan Shuyan's eyes flickered slightly, he smiled, and after signaling to the waiter behind him, a group of people lined up to deliver exquisite meals, and the dancing girls in the field also withdrew, and then two people holding pianos came A beautiful girl playing the pipa is playing music on the side.

The beauty is on the side, the sound of the piano is melodious, and the pipa is clear.

This taste... Nan Shuyan really knows how to enjoy it.

Xuan Qing secretly sighed, but the look on his face turned colder.

Nan Shuyan smiled and said, "I've heard about Master Buddha's name for a long time, and I just found a chance to have a chat with Master today."

Xuan Qing looked indifferent, "His Royal Highness is over-reputed, Xuan Qing is just a monk in the barren mountain temple."

so bland...

Nan Shuyan's heart choked, the smile on his face paused, he said indifferently: "These are the most famous vegetarian dishes in Wangyue Tower, Master, try them."

Su Zhai in Wangyue Tower?He already ate yesterday... I don't know what Nan Shuyan meant by that, did he already know about his meeting with Nan Shuxuan?

Xuan Qing remained unmoved, and stared at Nan Shuyan with moon-clear black eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Your Highness, don't bother so much, just speak up if you have anything to say."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air froze for a moment.

When did Nan Shuyan lose face like this?His expression changed, and he was tired of hearing the piano sound in his ears.

Just thinking of the Holy Majesty treating Xuan Qing differently, he could only suppress his anger first, he simply waved his hands to let the two players who were playing the piano go down, and said with a half-smile: "It was my negligence, the master is devoted to the Buddha, not for the world of mortals. I am afraid that these foreign objects will disturb the master's cultivation."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the person behind him immediately presented a brocade box to his hand respectfully.

"I know that Master likes to study Buddhist scriptures. There is only one copy of this Buddhist scripture left. I specially searched for it and gave it to Master." Nan Shuyan asked someone to hand it to him with a smile on his face.

Fuck!This Nan Shuyan still doesn't know him well enough. With his high-minded personality, everything arranged today is simply crazy to lose favor with him!

Xuan Qing looked at the brocade box in front of him, frowned slightly, and after a long silence he finally sighed, "Amitabha, His Royal Highness has a heart. It's just such a rare copy, not only is it priceless, but more importantly, the Buddhist teachings and principles in it. Wouldn’t it be a waste of its value to be buried in a private collection, or it should be enshrined in the Sutra Pavilion of Xiangguo Temple so that more monks can study it.”

After Qing Lingling's words fell, the air was eerily silent.

Is this an outright rejection?Nan Shuyan, who still refused, had no room to refute.He only felt that his face was hot as if he had been slapped in the face in public.

Xuan Qing accepted it when he saw it was good, and it was almost time to run away.He got up and said goodbye, "His Royal Highness, the poor monk still has to prepare for the chanting on the Longevity Day. It is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will take my leave first."

Nan Shuyan clenched the cup in his hand, unable to even smile, reluctantly asked someone to see him off.

After the person left, he crushed the wine glass in his hand and gritted his teeth, "No oil or salt!"

Thinking of the news I found last night, it seems that the monk's meeting with Nan Shuxuan last night made him fall to his side.

He looked at the person in the shadow, and said coldly: "Follow him and check their relationship."

……

Wuxin breathed a sigh of relief after exiting the Mishui Pavilion on the other side.Although he knew that the abbot's uncle was a human being, it was absolutely impossible to accept such a bribe-like behavior, but the scene just now still scared him enough.

Now that they have offended His Highness the Crown Prince, will they not be able to leave the capital?

Wuxin was on the side with a sad face, hesitating to speak, Xuanqing just pretended not to see it.He naturally has his own arrangements. Although Nan Shuyan is the crown prince, he thinks that Nan Shuxuan will win in terms of character and reputation as well as his means of doing things.

Besides, Nan Shuyan doesn't dare to do anything to him now. If Nan Shuyan wants to deal with him, Xuanqing can't think of any other way but to frame him, and this can just help him complete the second task - to get The trust of the Southern Pilgrims and being regarded as a national teacher is not just a matter of preaching scriptures.

But now on the surface, he still doesn't help each other, it's better not to contact anyone anymore.Therefore, in the next few days, Xuanqing stayed behind closed doors, claiming to make preparations for setting up an altar to lecture on the Wanshou Festival.

During the period, Nan Shuxuan came here once or twice, and he was still very busy recently, it seemed that this Longevity Festival was also entrusted to him.

Nan Shuyu came to him when he got the chance, but was stopped by Wuying and did not see him.

In a blink of an eye, one day later, it will be the Longevity Festival. Xuanqing went to check the high platform built according to his request, and told the monks of Xiangguo Temple some precautions.

Everything is ready, just wait for the Longevity Day tomorrow.

When he returned to the Lin Mansion, it was almost dark, and the young man outside the house was pacing back and forth, seeing him rushing over, "Master Xuanqing!"

Xuan Qing said, "Why is Your Highness the Ninth Prince here?"

Nan Shuyu waited for him for so long, finally he was here, he grabbed his wrist and walked out, his brows were full of eager joy, "Master, you are finally back, tonight is the Longevity Festival fireworks show Time, I'll take you to have a look, if you don't go, it will be too late!"

"Your Highness Nine, wait..." Xuan Qing had no time to refute, and was taken away by Nan Shuyu like a gust of wind.

Wu Ying, who had just heard the sound in the room, came out, then followed with a frown.

……

On the eve of the Longevity Festival, Kyoto is full of excitement. People are singing and dancing, watching fireworks and juggling, and people are coming and going in the streets and alleys.It was agreed to go to the fireworks show, but there were too many people, crowded and crowded, Nan Shuyu got lost again.

Xuan Qing pushed and moved with the flow of people, calling him a few times but no one answered him.

He sighed, and just turned around, suddenly a ghost mask with blue face and fangs appeared in front of him!

Xuan Qing stood there motionless - if it wasn't for the fact that the human setup couldn't collapse, he would have screamed out in shock.

His dark eyes silently looked at the person who played tricks in front of him.

"It's boring, it doesn't scare you!"

There was a burst of crisp laughter, and the mask was lifted off by a slender white hand, revealing Yue Jing's bright face.
