But over here in Dongyuan, Prince Jing was sitting quietly on the stone bench, thinking about something.

Dongyuan is much simpler and smaller than Xiyuan where Zhengyao and the others live. There is not much scenery around, except for a flower bed, a square pool measuring three feet long, two stone benches and a stone table.

Outside, there are only three hut-like buildings, which are extremely simple.

If it is said that such a thatched hut is the residence of a noble prince, I believe that even Zheng Yao would not want to believe this fact, let alone Yuan Haiyun and Zhang Cheng who have never seen the world. In addition to being simple and simple,

Apart from being ordinary, there is nothing special about it, but it allowed Prince Jing to live there for only one month in three years, and on average he would live there for ten days a year. This is unimaginable by anyone.

Prince Jing sat quietly on the stone bench, looking attentively at the unfinished chess game on the stone table. He pouted from time to time and touched his chin, which did not have much beard. He seemed to be very interested in the chess game in front of him.

It felt tricky outside. However, I heard King Jing sigh, and finally, finally gave up playing chess. Maybe he couldn't calm down, or maybe he couldn't break the chess game. His face was full of melancholy, and his eyes were full of melancholy.

Confused, he stood up and walked towards the pool.

"Shuqin...it has been twenty years, are you okay now? If you are okay, why didn't you come to me? Could it be that you have forgotten me? No...no way..."

Facing the pool and looking at his own reflection in the pool, Prince Jing seemed to have seen something. There was a constant mist in his mouth, a burst of sadness, an inch of sadness, which always made people feel an inexplicable loss.

"Report..."

Just when King Jing was thinking about it, a sudden shout broke everything in front of him. King Jing immediately stood up straight, and after a while, he walked out of the fence.

At this time, I saw a middle-aged strong man rushing over. This young man was none other than the one who played the bandit at the Poetry Conference that day. He put a knife on King Jing's neck and was subdued by Zheng Yao.

The masked man in black, his name is Wang Heng, the personal guard of Prince Jing.

But when he saw this man running quickly to Prince Jing, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, someone from the palace...is coming from the palace."

When Prince Jing heard this, he thought it was a big deal. He said "Oh" and immediately asked: "There is someone coming from the palace? Who is it? Did you tell me what the purpose is?"

"Back to my lord, here is Liu Tao, Eunuch Liu, the eunuch in charge of Princess Ning'an's residence."

"Eunuch Liu Tao? From Ning'an's house? It seems that this girl from Ning'an ran away without a word again! Haha." After saying this, Prince Jing had to smile. Faced with this niece, Prince Jing was also very worried.

She likes her. She has been smart and cute since she was a child. The only problem is that she always sneaks out of the palace and causes some trouble. After she comes back, she asks Concubine Shen and Prince Jing for help. Emperor Jiajing can never punish her. After laughing, Prince Jing said again:

"Then where is Eunuch Liu now?"

"He knew it was not good to come and disturb you, Your Majesty, so he waited in the main hall and sent his subordinates to inform Your Majesty."

"Oh, I, the king, will come over right now." After saying that, Prince Jing and the man headed towards the main hall in the southwest direction.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Zhengyao and his party had been wandering around the temple for a while. Along the way, everyone had to admire the Wuchanyuan again. Its architecture is magnificent, its scale is huge, its Buddha statues are serious, and its palaces are numerous.

It's truly astonishing.

Under the old monk's introduction, Zhengyao already understood the relevant information about this temple. The total area of ​​the temple is about 2,000 acres (including the surrounding farmland), with a total of more than 40 palaces and about 200 houses.

It is also the largest temple Zhengyao has ever seen. To be able to build such a temple in such a high mountain is indeed a bit miraculous.

There are three most famous places in the temple. One is the wishing tree. Every March 9th and September 16th, lay believers from all over the world will come from far away to make wishes and pray for blessings. No matter whether they come true or not, on that day, they will always wish.

They are all overcrowded. The second place is the so-called Bodhidharma Cave in the mountain. It is said that Bodhidharma visited here when he traveled around the world, and left the Buddhist scriptures and martial arts he studied on the stone wall of the cave. Later, he presided over it.

In order to prevent the martial arts from being leaked, he wrote them down, and then erased the relevant words and patterns on the stone wall, leaving only the relevant scriptures and codes. This third place is that of the eminent monk who achieved Taoism. It is said that his

The Buddhist teachings he studied were those taught by Patriarch Bodhidharma. He had profound wisdom and everyone in the Buddhist sect admired him greatly. Because of this, he has already become famous all over the world.

However, this time Zhengyao and others came at the wrong time. The legendary eminent monk had already gone out to travel, and he didn't know when he would come back. Therefore, there was no hope of meeting the eminent monk.

"It seems like this Wuchan Temple is really a bit of a gimmick." Zhengyao nodded and couldn't help but be shocked by its background.

"Just like you, stop pretending to be an expert here! If you think this place is good, then you might as well become a monk and forget about it. You will regret it later if you don't make it to Beijing for reference."

All of Zheng Yao's behaviors are so displeasing to Ning An. Even if he has a slight change of opinion towards Zheng Yao, it is inevitable that Zheng Yao's "I am an expert" outfit makes Ning An uncomfortable, so Ning An

An will never give up any opportunity to harm Zhengyao.

"A century-old temple with a long history. This time I came here, it was really an eye-opener for me!"

"Haha, you kid, you always look so formal and serious wherever you go. Are you tired?" Yuan Haiyun rarely spoke for once. As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Xi next to him couldn't help but smile, and immediately asked

Zhang Cheng blushed for a while and felt annoyed and angry at Yuan Haiyun.

"Okay! The wishing tree should be in front of you, and it is also the main hall of the temple. Let's just leave it at that. This place of Buddhism should be more serious." What Liu Yan said is true. Fortunately, everyone knows the general idea.

Everyone calmed down and followed Master Shunming, turned a corner from the corridor, and soon arrived in front of the main hall.

The main hall is the center point of the entire temple, and it is also the most important place in the temple. It is obviously higher than other side halls in terms of construction scale, materials used, and the momentum of the Buddha statues. This is unquestionable.

A huge ancient tree is supported by dozens of large wooden sticks. The ancient tree is so big that at least five adult men need to hold hands to surround it. The ancient tree is covered with various red ropes and yellow ropes.

The talismans were probably thrown by tourists or believers.

Even though the ninth day of March has passed and the sixteenth day of September has not yet arrived, there are still many people here making pilgrimages and making wishes, which shows how strong the incense in Wuchanyuan is.

Zhengyao and others couldn't help but become interested. They went to the counter selling paper talismans nearby and bought some talisman papers and some red strings. They each went to the side to write some so-called "wishes" with pens. Originally, Ning An wanted to

He approached Liu Yan to see what he had written on the paper, but Liu Yan finished it in a matter of seconds, then tied it up with a red rope, ran to the ancient tree and threw it to the branch, which made Ning An feel disappointed.

.

"Hey, Man Po, you don't have to guess, I know what you wrote." Zhengyao quickly finished writing his "wish", and then quietly came to Ning'an's side, muttering in Ning'an's mouth

While I was reading something, I took a sneak peek at what Ning An had written.

"Go to hell! What I wrote is not what you think!" Ning An said disdainfully, then took a peek at the talisman in Zhengyao's hand and said disdainfully: "You also have a wish? Hahaha

, I would like to know what kind of wish you have!"

Zhengyao chuckled and said quite proudly: "I am a far-sighted young master. How could you, a vulgar fan like you, guess it all!"

"Oh? You're so beautiful here! Are you the only one who still has a long-term vision?"

"You bastard, do you think I don't know what you are thinking about? You are crazy to want to get married, but I can tell you that your wish will probably come true, but this young master, hehe, will soon.

It’s coming true…”

Saying that, Zhengyao couldn't help but provoke, then turned his head and ran towards the ancient tree. Ning An was very dissatisfied. This idiot did know that he liked Liu Yan, but he didn't know anything about him.

, so he immediately chased after him.

"You idiot, just tell me what wish you wrote! I admit that what you just said was written by me." Ning An ignored Zhengyao's teasing and directly said what he wrote.

After listening, Zhengyao was stunned. He actually didn't understand what Ning An wrote clearly at all, and he also made random guesses. He didn't expect that this little girl was so easy to trick, so he didn't bring it upon himself. Thinking of this

, Zhengyao also feels that Ning'an is actually quite pitiful. She still doesn't know that Liu Yan is actually engaged. To be honest, in that era, it was really rare for a girl to be so proactive.

, Zhengyao still admired Ning An a little.

"Then let me tell you, you must not laugh at me!"

"If you don't laugh, I'll laugh at you as a puppy!"

Zhengyao was embarrassed for a while, then he mustered up his courage and whispered in an extremely shy tone: "I tell you, what I wrote is that I want to be the consort! Hehe, you said, don't laugh!"

Be a prince-in-law?

Suddenly, the surroundings seemed to be frozen, and no sound could be heard quietly. But after finishing speaking, Zhengyao was extremely surprised that Ning An in front of him did not take any action. This made him feel that he usually likes to attack

My own tranquility suddenly felt a little strange.

"I...you...look, I said I won't tell you. What's your expression like this? Is it teasing or disdain? Forget it, who told me to be a mean-mouthed person? I'm asking for trouble!" After that, he was talking.

Yao didn't care what Ning An thought, and threw the talisman tied with a red rope directly to the branch with both hands, and the red rope was hung impartially on a very strong tree pole.

It's stable and can't be blown by the wind.

After a long time, Ning An came back to his senses, but his expression was very strange. It was neither disdain nor happiness, but an indescribable contradiction. Perhaps even Ning An himself could not understand the reason for this contradiction.

"Husband-in-law? Haha..." Ning An smiled lightly, taking it as a joke. Just like Zheng Yao, he threw the talisman paper in his hand towards the tree. But the strange thing is that Ning An threw it twice and couldn't hang it.

Being in the tree made her feel a little impatient.

Zhengyao looked at Ning An's expression, walked over slowly, and said seriously: "You can't do this. Sincerity is what is said to be effective. If you are so absent-minded, even if you throw it up, it won't be effective. Come, let me

teach you!"

Saying that, Zheng Yao immediately grabbed Ning An's hand. This scene was met by Xiao Xi. However, Xiao Xi did not dare to say anything and could only look at it with wide eyes. Of course, for Zheng Yao,

For Yao, it was perfectly normal to touch a girl's hand. Besides, when he was a policeman, he would often help pregnant women to cross the road, get in the car, etc. He once encountered a traffic jam and was on the road.

He carried a female college student on his back and ran on foot for more than ten minutes before arriving at the hospital to rescue the fainted girl. Therefore, Zhengyao didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Of course, although Ning An is usually very lively, she is a very strict woman and will never have any physical contact with men unless there is an accident. But at this time, she was completely absent-minded and did not care too much about Zheng.

Yao has become so close.

"Look, just use this force and it will be fine." After saying that, he made a movement with his hand, and sure enough, the talisman in Ning An's hand finally hung on the branch.

At this time, Ning An realized that Zheng Yao's hands were still holding his own. He suddenly panicked, his face turned red, and he immediately turned around, not daring to look at Zheng Yao.

Only then did Zheng Yao realize that it was the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, not 2012, so he felt a little embarrassed, so he walked over and said inexplicably: "Uh... ok! Just now I... I didn't mean... you...
