Late at night on December 2, dark clouds obscured the moonlight, a motorcycle was driving on the road leading from Luancheng to Luanshan Scenic Area in Xiluanshan, the night was very hazy on the mountain road, the trees on both sides were blown by the wind, and the leaves seemed to drift down from the sky, shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

The motorcycle shoots out a thief bright light all the way to run wildly, drive to the halfway up the mountain and turn onto another path, this path leads to the scenic temple "Bao'en Temple", the name of the path is also because this temple is called "Ensi Road", turn on the "Ensi Road" is more silent, the trees on the side of the road are replaced by ginkgo trees, and the whole forest is golden.

"Bao'en Temple" is a temple built in the Ming Dynasty, located in the southeast of Luancheng 80 kilometers Luanshan Scenic Area halfway up the mountainside, and "Luanhe Reservoir" is listed as the two ancient tourist landscapes of the scenic spot, "Luanhe Reservoir" is 40 kilometers according to this, there is a path leading to two scenic spots from Luancheng up the mountain, there is a through road between the temple and the reservoir, for this reason tourists to "Bao'en Temple" must also go to "Luanshan Reservoir" to visit.

Speaking of "Bao'en Temple" there is also a touching story, it is said that there was a eunuch in Luancheng at the end of the year, because he had no children and sold all his family property to build this "Bao'en Temple" in the twilight of his life, after the temple was completed, the old eunuch moved into the temple and became a monk, and also gave himself a name called "Thanksgiving Master". "Bao'en Temple" in the past scene can not be investigated, but in recent years it is a bleak situation, because it is not a well-known temple to go up the mountain to burn incense and worship the Buddha pilgrims are very few, the temple is full of two monks, I heard that there are still families, just come to the temple to work. The temple is run by a media company, which is why pilgrims are reluctant to come to worship the Buddha. Although Luanshan Mountain is high and has hundreds of peaks and peaks, the temple is in the embrace of the surrounding mountains, not only with few people and sparse guests, but also desolate and dilapidated. The temple wall is more than one person high, and the old tree is also very spectacular, and there is a tombstone under the big tree, which is engraved with three big characters "Thanksgiving Tablet". Legend has it that this tombstone is the tomb of the monk Thanksgiving, and there is this old locust tree and this tombstone temple to add some highlights. For this reason, the two monks took turns on duty to guard these two treasures of the temple, but no one had ever destroyed the old locust tree and tombstone for so many years.

Besides, the monk on duty never went to the backyard to check at night, he was on duty in the front yard to watch TV, drink a little wine and then sleep dizzy, even if there were thieves in the backyard, they would not pay attention, as long as they didn't clean them up in the front yard. Besides, the temple has nothing to steal, and the money for collecting some incense during the day has been taken down the mountain, and the backyard is a tombstone except for the big locust tree, I'm afraid no one has the idea of hitting them.

The motorcycle stopped under the wall of the backyard of the monastery, and the rider took off his helmet and baseball cap, took out a military folding shovel from the toolbox in the back seat and pedaled the motorcycle to look into the monastery, and then jumped up the wall and jumped in. He quietly walked under the old locust tree, looked up at the crown of the locust tree a few times, and sighed secretly in his heart: It's rare to grow like this in hundreds of years. He turned his gaze to the "Thanksgiving Monument" tablet, looked at the big characters with black paint on it, and thought: It seems that Jiang Sande spent 100,000 yuan to repair it without kindness to the Buddha, and he is taking advantage of God's curse.

The baseball cap turned to the back of the tombstone and began to dig with a shovel, which lasted about half an hour, and when the shovel clicked to a depth of one meter, the baseball cap leaned down and used his hands to pick up the soil, and after a few clicks, he touched something similar to bamboo. The baseball cap was a little excited, and quickly pulled out a bamboo blank frame. He carefully picked it up and opened it gently, and 50 hard objects wrapped in oiled paper were neatly placed in the frame of the bamboo billet, and a bamboo tube also wrapped in oiled paper was placed next to it.

The baseball cap only rubbed his palms excitedly, he peeled off the oil paper on the 50 hard objects, twisted the rust on it and suddenly revealed its golden color, he opened the cylinder next to him, and pulled out a painting scroll from it, half of the ancient painting was exposed, he looked carefully, the picture was an old man holding a wine glass with a smile on his face. The baseball cap suppressed his excitement, picked up the gold bricks piece by piece, put them in his backpack, and finally wrapped half of the ancient painting in oiled paper.

Got it? Suddenly, a dull shout came from behind.

The baseball cap was so frightened that his legs trembled and he picked up the shovel at his feet, holding his breath and clenching the shovel with both hands ready to fight back against the man behind him.

The person behind whispered: "Nervous, threw the shovel away."

The baseball cap let go of his hands and threw the shovel to the ground, and at the same time as the shovel landed with a crunching sound, he quickly pulled out a bright sharp knife from his waist and turned around to stab the person behind him, but when he flipped = turned around, he saw a face as white as a dead man, with only three black holes in his face, and he almost screamed in fright.

Third brother, it's me, your second brother. Miserable white face whispered.

The baseball cap put away the sharp knife and looked at the miserable white face carefully, and said with a sigh of relief: Oops! It's the second brother, you're scared me to death, why are you here? You're going to be scared to death wearing this face.

said with a miserable white face: Third brother, you are really witty, can I show my true face when I come here, it scares you?

The baseball cap said: I'm almost scared to death by you, second brother, do you know I'm coming?

said with a miserable white face: Don't hide it from the third brother, I came with you, and I knew that you asked the boss about the place where these things were buried.

The baseball cap said: Second brother, can you take off this scary face first, I can see that I am creepy.

The miserable white face smiled and said: Go out to pick, third brother, don't you also hide your true face, to be honest, the boss is really good at finding a place, and no one can think of burying things here, so I wonder if the boss will tell you happily?

The baseball cap said: It was his loser who said that he leaked his mouth, she said that last year the boss donated 100,000 yuan to repair the tombstone of the grateful mage, the boss is not a good man and a woman, how can he have a bodhisattva heart to donate money to repair the tombstone, there must be a purpose, so I guess something is hidden here, come and try your luck, and the luck is not bad.

With a miserable white face, he took out a box of cigarettes and handed him a baseball cap, and he interjected and lit a fire and smoked it.

The baseball cap said: Second brother, this is not our family, don't let people find out, and besides, this is not a place to stay for a long time.

The miserable white face spat out a wisp of smoke and said: Whoever comes here, it is safe now, if someone wants to leave, it will be too late, and it will not be too late to take a cigarette break.

The baseball cap smoked as he refilled the excavated soil into the pit, and sat down on it with his feet before he sat down across from his pale face.

said with a miserable white face: Third brother, the bamboo tube contains that half of the ancient paintings, right? It will bring bad luck to people, so burn it halfway so that it will not cause trouble again.

Baseball Cap asked: Second brother, what kind of painting is this? How vicious this is.

The white face replied: Hi! Speaking of this half of the painting really has a background, it is said that the famous painter Liang Kai of the Southern Song Dynasty painted before 1200 AD, when he painted two paintings, one is called "Splash Ink Immortal Picture", and the other is this half of the "Shuangsuo Picture", the former is now in the collection of the Taipei Museum. The latter, that is, the half of the picture in your bag, is a painting of two things sitting by the river to drink the lamp, the clothes are exposed and drunk, this painting is a banner painting, 48 cm long, 28 cm wide, many archaeological masters only hear its name but have not seen its painting, this painting legend has long been destroyed by fire, hundreds of years have not been born, so few people know, what you have in your bag is the lower half, the upper half of Qiu Wu after the accident let the "Criminal Investigation Second Division" copy away.

Baseball cap asked: Second brother, isn't this half of the painting very valuable?

With a long white face, he sighed and said: Hey! Qiu Wu, Gao Hong, Ji Yu, Huang Kaiyuan and Jiang Sande are not all lost because of this painting, so I feel that whoever gets this half of the broken painting will be ruined, I advise the third brother to burn him.

The baseball cap said: I listened to the second brother, and I burned it on the way back.

Asked with a miserable white face: What does the third brother want to do with these 50 gold bricks?

The baseball cap asked rhetorically: Second brother, you say, by the way, second brother, how did you come here?

He said with a white face: I came by car, and the car was hidden in the woods.

The baseball cap said: I came on a motorcycle, and it is inconvenient to take it with you, and you take the gold bricks with you.

Staring at the baseball cap with a white face, he asked: Third brother, do you trust me?

The baseball cap replied: Of course, as always.

With a miserable white face, he asked again: Where do you want to do the fourth?

The baseball cap said: The second brother doesn't have to worry about this, I will take care of it.

The miserable white face hesitated for a moment and asked: Third brother, the boss didn't suffer, right?

The baseball cap groaned for a moment and said: No, it is estimated that I will lose my breath in three minutes, and there will be no pain, but my heart is uncomfortable, second brother, does the boss have to die?

said with a miserable white face: Hey, if he listens to me, how can he be today, he is too greedy, if he doesn't die, we will be finished soon, the "Second Criminal Investigation Department" has already targeted him, and the whole clue will be broken when he dies. The third child, let's live a quiet life today, and when it stops, let's build a good grave for him, no matter how he dies to save the two of us, and let's burn some paper for him on the fifth day.

The baseball cap said: Well, I listen to you.

said with a miserable white face: The third child, don't let the fourth child suffer, but the focus is to ensure your safety, the last one, let him go with the boss, and let him be comfortable, he has not lost anything to eat and drink these days, right?

The baseball cap said: No, every day fish, shrimp, wine and meat.

said with a miserable white face: Okay, third brother, tell the fourth brother not to blame us for not being righteous, there is no way, alas! Don't say it, when you talk about it, you feel uncomfortable, and when you send the fourth child away, you will definitely make him look like he commits suicide in fear of sin.

The baseball cap said: I understand the second brother, let's go.

said with a miserable white face: Third brother, you can come to my house in two days and take away the gold bricks, second brother don't.

The baseball cap said: Let's talk about it, second brother.

With a miserable white face and a backpack on his back, a baseball cap reinserted the scroll into the bamboo tube and clamped it under his armpit, the two climbed out of the courtyard wall and disappeared into the night.
