Nangong Jiu looked at his fingers as he was told.
"My fingers are the same except for their length and size."
Nangong Yunxue squatted in front of Nangong Jiu and said, "You are right! Fingers have different lengths and sizes, and people have different levels of good and evil.
We can’t make our fingers exactly the same length and size, and similarly, we can’t make everyone good and kind.
All we can do is stay true to our original aspirations, live our lives well, and promote good and eliminate evil within our capabilities.”
Nangong Jiu looked at his fingers and suddenly understood: "Mother is right, we should be good to ourselves and then promote good and eliminate evil.
Mom, I want to eat braised chicken legs!"
Nangong Yunxue smiled and handed over a braised chicken drumstick: "Eat it and see how it tastes."
Nangong Jiu took it and put it under his nose to smell it, sniffing it intoxicatedly: "What a nice smell!"
"Ah!" He took a bite, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it. "Mmm, this is the taste. I never get tired of it!"
Two days later in the evening.
Liu Hao returned home in the dark.
"Jiu'er, come here, Daddy has good news for you."
Nangong Jiufei rushed forward, tilting his head back and waiting: "Daddy, is there any result on the Zhu family's matter?"
"Yes, the Blood Spirit Hall has been eradicated! Our people also found evidence in the Blood Spirit Hall's account books that Zhu Shiqian and his wife hired someone to commit murder.
Zhu Shiqian and his wife have been arrested and brought to justice. Faced with the facts, they confessed everything.
All the property of the Zhu and Zhou families has been confiscated and converted into silver to help the poor and homeless children."
"Very good!"
Nangong Jiu clasped his hands together and prayed to the sky: "Zhu Xuejing, you and your family rest in peace. Your property has saved countless people and children.
This merit will bring you a long life in your next life, with endless blessings and longevity."
The depressed mood of the past few days disappeared at this moment.
Liu Hao and his wife looked at the bright smile on the little guy's face and smiled at each other.
Time flies, and it is September 9th in a blink of an eye.
On this day, everyone from the Prince's Mansion and the Chu Mansion gathered together, and everyone, regardless of status, had a lively day.
Nangong Jiu was so happy that he ran around the field like crazy. He was so tired that he couldn't hold on any longer as soon as it got dark. He simply washed up and fell into a deep sleep.
Midnight.
Nangong Jiu suddenly woke up, opened his eyes and saw a room full of people. He jumped up with joy and rushed to his relatives.
"Father, mother, brothers, Tiandao, Siming, you are all here."
Xiang Ning smiled and nodded: "Xiaojiu, today is your third birthday, of course we have to come and celebrate your birthday with you.
Just like last time, our birthday gift for you is the inner elixir of a demon beast. This should be the gift you need most."
As he spoke, everyone except Nangong Xuan received a box of inner elixir in Nangong Jiu's hands.
"Thank you, Daddy, Mommy, and brothers! Inner elixirs can help us improve our cultivation, and they are indeed what we need."
Nangong Xuan took out a lifelike little doll from his arms: "Xiaojiu, this is carved by my second brother based on your likeness. Do you like it?"
"I like it! Didn't I tell you to take good care of it? Why did you bother to carve this?"
Nangong Xuan smiled and hid his hands behind his back: "I was bored and just did it casually."
Nangong Jiu pulled Nangong Xuan's hand, looked at the wounds on his hand, felt so distressed, and quickly covered it with his little hand.
After a while, the wound on Nangong Xuan's hand recovered as before.
"This time when we go back, second brother, you must rest well. Once my cultivation recovers to 80%, your spiritual roots will be able to recover."
"good!"
It's the turn of heaven.
Tiandao spread his hands, and a white bracelet appeared in his palm: "Little girl, this bracelet was made by me specially for you.
You usually wear it on your wrist, and when you achieve a breakthrough in your cultivation, it will not cause unusual celestial phenomena to change like last time.
It can hide your cultivation and save you a lot of trouble."
Nangong Jiu was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, I really need it!"
There was a hint of a smile on Tiandao's serious face.
"Well, the high priest has already decided to kill you and your sister. You don't have much time left. You must intensify your training and strive to recover your skills as soon as possible."
"I understand. I will practice hard!"
Siming Xingjun smiled and handed over his gift: "Empress, the Jade Emperor also asked you to intensify your cultivation and recover as soon as possible. Then, you will be able to walk freely in the Three Realms."
"Thank you, I'm looking forward to that day too!"
After seeing everyone off, Nangong Jiu put the gifts into his space, rolled and jumped on the bed, tossing and turning until the early morning, and only closed his eyes and fell asleep when he was extremely tired.
In the next few days, there was nothing to do, so Nangong Jiu took a few people to refine their inner elixirs and practice fighting.
Jiuruju became their martial arts training ground, and the tower in the courtyard became a good place for them to meditate and practice.
In mid-September, it was time to return to Beijing.
Out of Xizhou City.
Taoist Qingchen and the other two came to say goodbye: "Jiujun, Qingchen and the others will go ahead. When you arrive in Gongxian, Qingchen will come to pick you up and take you to Lingyin Temple to stay for a few days."
"Okay, it's early autumn at Lingyin Temple. The leaves on the mountain are red and the fruits are ripe. I really want to go and see them."
Watching people walk away.
Liu Hao and Nangong Yunxue asked curiously, "Jiu'er, you haven't told us why you want to stay at Lingyin Temple for a few days this time? It's definitely not just to enjoy the scenery and eat wild fruits."
“Nothing can be hidden from you.
Qingchen said that a three-year-old child had come to the Taoist temple and asked me to help examine him. If there were no problems, he would inherit Wuwang's legacy.
"This is a good thing! Wuwang calls you Grandmaster, you should go and help him."
"Well, you haven't been to Lingyin Temple in autumn yet. The scenery at Lingyin Temple in autumn is as beautiful as a painting. You will definitely like it if you go there."
Liu Hao was in high spirits: "There's no rush to go back anyway, so we can rest for a few days at Lingyin Temple."
General Chu also agreed cheerfully: "It doesn't matter if I return to Beijing a few days later. I've heard of the reputation of Lingyin Temple for a long time, so it would be nice to go and take a look."
Liu Hao waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
Half a month later, the group arrived in Gong County.
Taoist Priest Qingchen and his companions, along with their disciples from the Taoist temple, arrived at the foot of the mountain early.
Seeing the convoy slowly approaching, the young Taoist priests swarmed forward and said, "Great-grandmaster, Great-grandmaster..."
Nangong Jiu lifted the car curtain and looked out.
Looking up, he saw Taoist Qingchen and others standing there smiling, with Wuwang holding a child in his arms.
Nangong Jiu looked at the child carefully. Just as Taoist Qingchen said, the child had delicate features and two deep dimples on his face when he smiled.
Well, he looks good. Let’s wait and see how intelligent he is.
The carriage stopped in front of Taoist Qingchen and his companions, and Nangong Jiu stuck his small body out of the window.
"Qingchen, have you been waiting for a long time?"
