In the north of Fujian, there is a thousand-year-old city surrounded by mountains, there are many historic sites in the city, and there are many folk legends.

Even in the early nineties, the spring breeze of reform and opening up did not blow through the city in time, so that the people in the city lived in poverty, and therefore, most of the major temples in the city were not prosperous.

More than ten miles away from the city in the south of the city, there is a mountain that is not high, the name is Tianbao, but there is no treasure on this mountain, there is only a dilapidated tower temple, no one cares.

On this day, the weather was sunny and cloudless, and an old man slowly climbed Tianbao Mountain with heavy steps, stopped in front of the tower temple, bent over and panted.

The old man's name is Lu Hua, and he originally lived in a mountain village dozens of miles away from the county seat, but in fact he just lived in a family surnamed Luo. Not long ago, a big change occurred in the Luo family, and the old lady Luo was angry to death, and his eldest grandson Luo Wencheng, who was angry to death, seemed to have evaporated from the world. Luo Wude, the second grandson of the Luo family, approached the county seat with his family, and he Lu Hua also entered the city with his side.

Luo Wude is also a well-known figure in this county, self-made, with a head and a face, Lu Hua has a leisurely life in the county, but he is not comfortable. No, I only learned from the old king next door yesterday that there is a tower temple in this Tianbao Mountain, and I left my house early this morning and went to Tianbao Mountain.

Lu Hua paused in front of the tower temple for a while, and after his breath stabilized, he straightened up and strode into the tower temple.

This tower temple has a total of seven floors, each layer is dedicated to different gods, and the walls are also depicted with various fairy fairy pictures, I don't know what year and month it was built.

Lu Hua walked to the shrine, the first layer is dedicated to the three saints of Taoism, because no one has been incense for a long time, the statue is full of dust and dust, and there are dense spider webs. On the table in front of the shrine, there was a moldy fruit, and I don't know who had bitten it.

Lu Hua knelt lightly on the futon in front of the Buddha shrine, dusty, but he didn't care, just quietly looked at the statue of Taishang Laojun in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Lao Jun, Lao Jun, how many years have we not seen each other? I didn't bring you anything today, but I still want to ask you for something. It's not a big deal, I just want you to help me look at my apprentice, after all, there are such seedlings left in my Lu family, and I don't want him to have the last laugh, and he can live to the end of the Ani Buddha! Hey, no, how can I be in front of you Ani Buddha! Look, I'm all old and confused, you can give your son face!" After a long time, Lu Hua suddenly opened his mouth and whispered to the statue of Taishang Laojun, and after that, he looked at the statue blankly.

"If you don't say anything, I'll just say yes!" Lu Hua muttered to himself, with a smile on his face, but a wry smile. After laughing, he stood up and prepared to clean up the pagoda temple.

At this time, someone suddenly walked into the tower temple and quietly approached Lu Hua from behind Lu Hua.

"In broad daylight, pretending to be a ghost?" The one who quietly walked towards Lu Hua was a man of medium stature, with an ugly ghost mask on his face, after he approached Lu Hua, he stretched out a hand, wanting to grab Lu Hua's shoulder, but Lu Hua opened his mouth at this time and spit out a sentence coldly, and then did not look back, and walked directly to the corner to get the worn-out broom.

The man in the mask was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward again, and pounced directly on Lu Hua.

Lu Hua bent down and picked up the broom, then turned around sharply and waved a broom, which hit the masked man's waist. The man screamed and staggered to the ground.

"I'm a helpless old man, I have nothing to grab, let's go, young man, it's too late to turn back as soon as possible!" Lu Hua said to the man calmly, then turned around and walked up the stairs to the second floor of the tower temple.

After the man got up from the ground, he seemed to be unwilling, and rushed to Lu Hua who was climbing the stairs again, but before he could get closer, he ate a broom on his face again and fell back to the place where he had just gotten up.

Next, the masked man showed his indomitable spirit, rushing up the stairs again and again, and then rolling down the stairs again and again. In the end, I don't know how many times he fell, he finally gave up.

He got up from the ground and knelt heavily towards Lu Hua, who had just ascended to the second floor.

"Don't kneel, my old man has no money for you if you kneel, let's go!" Lu Hua looked at the man, still untempered.

"Forgive me, senior!" the man said suddenly, apologetically.

"The mask has been removed, Gao Ming!" Lu Hua frowned and called out the name of the person downstairs.

"Senpai......" the man said softly, hesitated for a moment, and slowly took off his mask. Sure enough, it was Luo Wude's doorman.

"Wu De come in too!" Lu Hua put the broom on the ground and muttered in the direction of the gate of the tower temple.

Outside the door, a man with glasses walked in slowly and shouted softly, "Uncle Hua." ”

"Come on!" Lu Hua glanced at Luo Wude, who had just walked in, and then turned around and walked into the second floor. Luo Wude stepped forward to help Gao Ming, and then helped him up to the second floor.

On the second floor of the tower temple, there is a statue of Emperor Guan more than one zhang high, Zhou Cang, who is holding the green dragon Yanyue knife, and Guan Xing, who is holding a gold seal, stand on the left and right of Guan Erye.

Lu Hua sat cross-legged on the futon in front of the statue, Luo Wude and Gao Ming came to the second floor, stood about five steps away from Lu Hua, and waited for Lu Hua to speak.

"You two, is this my old man who took it?" Lu Hua was silent for a long time, and asked coldly.

"Senior Lu, it's abrupt, and I'm offended! I actually want to ask my seniors for confirmation of something today!" Gao Ming opened his mouth and said in a deep voice.

"Let's go!" Lu Hua yawned.

"Let's ask my seniors to take a look at this painting first!" Gao Ming said, took out a scroll from his arms, and then stepped forward and handed it to Lu Hua.

Lu Hua untied the scroll, and on the painting, a general holding a silver spear came into view, and he immediately frowned.

"Where did you get this painting from?" Lu Hua put away the painting and asked softly.

"My father handed it down to me when he was dying, and told me not to bother with the secrets in the painting, but to keep it well and pass it on from generation to generation. Gao Ming said in a deep voice.

"But you want to unlock the secret of the painting?" Lu Hua asked, in fact, he already knew it.

"Well, the last time I went to Fanjia Village, I originally wanted to interview the senior in the City God Temple, but it's a pity that ...... Fortunately, God still arranged for me to meet my seniors, and I have no regrets in this life!" Gao Ming said with a smile.

"Since you can see through my identity, I won't beat around the bush with you, Lao Liu Tou is half my master, and I can't compare with him, but I have also heard him mention this painting. There is indeed a secret on this painting, a big secret, too big for you to bear! So, you better listen to your father and keep it well! Don't let him die blindly!" Lu Hua slapped Gao Ming in the face straight to the point.

"But, if I just let it go and leave it alone, I'm afraid I'll die without turning a blind eye! I still hope that my predecessors will point to me!" Gao Ming knelt down again.

"Do you really want to know?" Lu Hua asked after pondering for a while.

"Yes!"

"Reckless?" Lu Hua asked.

"Hmm!"

"What about you, Wude?" Lu Hua turned his head to look at Luo Wude and asked.

Luo Wude didn't speak, but his head was equally heavy.

"Two idiots! will kill themselves!" Lu Hua shook his head and sighed, but the appearance of a handsome young man with a white fox in his arms appeared in his mind. He secretly pursed his lips, and thought to himself, "Apprentice, Master will pave a way for you before he dies!"

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll follow you well!" Lu Hua stood up and walked towards the three of them.

Luo Wude and Gao Ming looked at each other and smiled, and then quickly followed!
