On the south bank of Xizi Lake in Qiantang City, north of Yuhuang Mountain, there is a strange mountain east of Jiuyao Mountain. The peaks of this mountain are towering, the forest is luxuriant, the ridge is cross-sloped, like a barrier, so it is called Nanping Mountain. There is a temple at the foot of the northern foot of Nanping Mountain, called Jingci Temple, which was built by Qian Hongyue, the Zhongyi King of Wuyue Kingdom in the first year of Later Zhou Xiande (954) during the Five Dynasties period.

Jingci Temple is a thousand-year-old royal temple, built a magnificent atmosphere, the Shakya Hall that rises by the mountain is more than 100 meters high, the back of the main hall can almost touch the top of Nanping Mountain, the temple enshrines the golden body of the Buddha Shakyamuni.

The incense is flourishing here, and there is an endless stream of good men and women who come to worship the Buddha every day.

In the early winter morning, the West Lake Scenic Area is still shrouded in a cold fog, and there is frost on Nanping Mountain, and the lush green is wrapped in a silver white, and the scenery has a unique charm.

On the mountain road to the temple, two tourists, one old and one young, are climbing the stairs, adding a touch of vitality to this quiet natural scenery. The two did not stay in front of the temple gate for too long, and walked straight to the apse, but the early monks in the temple did not seem to see it at all, and only buried their heads in sweeping, ignoring the two strangers.

The towering building of the Shakya Hall looked like a bright yellow giant in the mist, and the young man walking in front looked up and hesitated for a while.

The old man behind him was a little cramped, and he stopped talking again: "Young master..."

The young man exhaled lightly and said lightly, "I know", without the slightest expression on his face.

The people who came to Jingci Temple were Shangqi and Yellow Paw's master and servant.

Shangqi stood for a while and muttered to himself, "Since they are all here, there is no reason to retreat." With that, he jumped up, put his feet on the cornice, and swept towards the top of the hall like a great bird.

Yellow Paw knew very well what the magic barrier in his young master's heart was, and he couldn't persuade anything at this time, so he had to shake his head and sigh, turn into a phantom, and follow behind Shangqi inch by inch.

The two of them landed lightly on the eaves of the top floor of the main hall, where the view was extremely open, with the West Lake in the distance and the Gem Mountain on the opposite bank. A man stood with his back to them by the wide beam, his thin and long figure was like the Leifeng Pagoda in the distance, the mountain wind blew the hem of his navy blue robe, but he did not move, faintly feeling a sense of arrogance.

Shangqi raised his legs and stepped forward, standing beside the man, and the two of them just looked at the scenery in the distance, and neither of them spoke.

How similar their backs are! Yellow Paw stood far away, his heart full of mixed feelings. This father and son, who have not seen each other for more than 20 years, he has followed the two masters for most of his life, and today he can finally have a good chat.

A sentence of "why" swirls in Shangqi's stomach, but he can't ask anything, and his breath is inevitably disordered under his impetuousness. The people around him heard it clearly, and the two whiskers trembled slightly, and they were the first to break the silence: "You must be tempted to ask why your father has left home for so many years." ”

Shangqi was still silent, but it was obvious that he was waiting for Fu Shenzhou to continue.

Fu Shenzhou stretched out his hand and pointed in the air, and blood-red light shot out, forming a cloud of smoke around the roof. The scene in front of him changed immediately, and when Shangqi came back to his senses, he was already in a mansion, and he looked around and saw that this was the courtyard on the island in the middle of the lake, but the furnishings were slightly different from each other.

The sound of footsteps came, and a person walked in from outside the door, and when he looked back, he found that it was Fu Shenzhou, but he looked much younger than now. Fu Shenzhou passed by Shangqi without squinting, walked to the bed and sat down, it turned out that there was a woman lying on the bed. Shangqi followed and walked over, but after just one glance, his expression changed completely. The woman was very thin, but despite her pale face and deep-set cheeks, she could not hide her pretty face. In particular, those soft eyes are exactly the same as Shangqi.

Of course, Shangqi knows who this is, it turns out that she is even more beautiful and gentle than in the photo. Every time I look at the photos, Shangqi imagines meeting her more than once.

"Mom, Mom!"

Shangqi called out urgently, wanting his mother to look at him. But whether it was Fu Shenzhou or a woman, it was as if he didn't see anyone in front of him at all. Shangqi reached out to pat Fu Shenzhou's shoulder, but it passed through his body without delay, it turned out that everything in this scene was just an illusion created by smoke.

Fu Shenzhou picked the woman up from the bed, helped her lie down after drinking a bowl of medicine, comforted her softly, and secretly recited the incantation, the red light of her fingertips flashed into her forehead, and the woman quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Her tight willow eyebrows gradually relaxed, but Fu Shenzhou's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and the worry on her face could no longer be hidden.

"Not long after you were born, your mother was diagnosed with cancer. tried everything for her father, but she could only watch her weaken day by day. By the second year, your mother was gone... Now that I think about it, it was really dark! I, Fu Shenzhou, have been frank all my life, I have never harmed an innocent person, I have never done anything that hurts heaven and reason, why is God so unfair and wants me to bear this pain? ”

Fu Shenzhou's tone of voice was no longer sad, but the resentment in his words was still difficult to quell.

Shangqi looked at the scene in front of him and burst into tears, this was the first time he had seen his mother before her death.

Yellowpaw was so crying that he couldn't stand, so he could only kneel on the ground.

"Later, one day, an old man from afar came to visit and revealed a news to me, that is, there is a historic site in Qiantang City, Zhijiang Province, called the Imperial Concubine Tower, and there is an underground palace under the tower, which suppressed a thousand-year-old snake demon under the tower in ancient times, and after the death of the snake demon, her body remained in the underground palace. This snake bone is a treasure of heaven and earth, and it has the miraculous effect of the flesh and bones of the living and dead. If you can have this treasure, then with the power of being a father, you will definitely be able to bring your mother back to life!

During that time, my father had already lost his mind, and when I heard that there was such a good thing, where could I think about it, and immediately entrusted you, who was less than 2 years old, to the Zhengzu monk, and went to Qiantang alone to steal treasures. ”

The picture in front of him changed to a stormy night, Fu Shenzhou held a dark red long sword, and more than a dozen monks who exuded golden brilliance were entangled. He used his sword very fast, going up to the sky and into the ground, his clothes were flying, and the red sword was like a poisonous dragon that chose people to devour, and every monk he stabbed was scattered into a ball of golden light. In less than ten minutes, all these monks were killed, and there was not a single enemy in front of them.

"When I arrived in Qiantang, I realized that the Imperial Concubine Tower had collapsed for decades, and the underground palace was exposed to the public. It's just that there seems to be some kind of ban on it, and there are many people who have coveted treasures for so many years, but no one has ever had the ability to break in. I observed the neighborhood for a few nights, and finally decided to go and find out, but as soon as I broke through the outermost prohibition, I was blocked by the golden-bodied Arhat guarding the underground palace. At that time, I only had treasures in my eyes, and whoever tried to stop me would be my enemy, so I destroyed all the sixteen Arhat Dharma Bodies. ”

The rain fell even harder, and a golden light lit up in the far night sky, and a long howl rolled in like muffled thunder, and even the "crackling" rainstorm could not be hidden.

Fu Shenzhou turned a deaf ear to this, his body was bright red, and he walked into the underground palace without looking back.

"Of course, I know that someone is coming, and I can hear the shouts for me to stop, but the sealed stone slab of the dungeon is right in front of me, I just need to open it, get the snake bone, and your mother can return to us.

The rivers and lakes are sinister, and my father has seen too many evil things of killing people and snatching treasures, so naturally he will not affect his actions because of a shout. I think that person is just afraid that I will steal the treasure, so he is just alarmist, a snake demon who has been dead for many years, there is nothing to worry about!

Alas... As a father should have thought a long time ago, why would those arhats stay here like great enemies? Why would someone of the righteous path want to stop me from opening the dungeon? Why did the local government never send an archaeological team to the underground palace to inspect the cultural relics, nor did it rebuild the Imperial Concubine Tower, but chose to set this place as a forbidden area, and no one was allowed to enter? ..... If you don't want to, you don't dare.

In that dungeon, there is no snake bone at all! ”

The stone slab of the underground palace was lifted, and below it was a bottomless black hole the size of a water tank. The sound of the wind "woo" came from the bottom up, getting louder and louder until it was deafening, and then a black gas erupted violently, and a huge impact energy spread in all directions from the hole under the stone slab, Fu Shenzhou was caught off guard, and was shocked far away like a fallen leaf in the wind, but fortunately, the master in the golden light arrived in time and rescued him in mid-air.

Fu Shenzhou looked back and saw that the person who came turned out to be an old monk.

"Woo ————"

A violent roar came from the cave in the ground, and the sound shook all over the wilderness, and a huge monster came out from under the underground palace, wrapped in a thick black gas, and soared into the sky.

The monster rolled in the black air, its body swelling a little with each turn, and its two lantern-like red eyes glittered in the darkness, sending chills through the heart.

"It's... This! Yellowpaw took two steps back in fright and sat down on the ground. His knowledge was still extensive, and although he had not seen all the beards and tails of the monster, he had already guessed its origin, which was why he was so frightened.

"It's... 梼杌?! ”
