Three years ago, Qin Beiyang and his father lived in Jingxi Camel Village, and the father and son often walked all day to Fangshan Yunju Temple. The great monk here has a good eye and values the craftsmanship of the Qin Customs, and asks him to repair temples and Buddha statues. Buddhism is in decline, the temple expenses are stretched, and the remuneration is little real silver, mostly a bag of grain, which is enough for the stonemason father and son to make a living. They also often climbed Shijing Mountain to work in caves containing Sui and Tang Dynasty slate scriptures, and knew the terrain well.

Today, Qin Beiyang climbed to the top of the mountain from behind the ancient tower, and the nine colors were as sensitive and silent as a beast.

He found several men talking at the entrance of the Leiyin Cave under the cliff. In addition to the famous detective Ye Kenan, there is also a Beiyang general with three gold stars in epaulettes, which must be the legendary "Xiao Xu".

As for the man with a scar on his face...... Assassin Ahai, this is exactly this face!

Qin Beiyang almost flew down from the top of the mountain, drew his Tang knife and cut off his head. But seeing Xiao Xu walking into the cave with his bodyguards, he suppressed the anger in his heart and turned into the gap between the rocks.

It turned out to be a secret passage with a cave, running through the top of the Leiyin Cave, and there was a crack under the secret passage, and the scene in the cave was clearly visible. Next door to Leiyin Cave is a cave called Jinxian Cave. The ceilings of the two caves are connected by a secret passage. Through this secret passage, you can monitor both the Golden Immortal Cave and the Thunder Sound Cave at the same time.

Back then, Qin Beiyang carved and chiseled stone scriptures with his father and stumbled upon the secret passage. Lao Qin judged that this was an old monk of the Tang Dynasty, and in order to supervise the practice of young monks, he dug secret passages above the two caves.

Fangshan stone was carved by the great monk Jingwan of the Sui Dynasty, and passed away after carving the "Nirvana Sutra" in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty. Since then, the monks of all dynasties have carved scriptures, at least nine caves, and accumulated more than 14,000 stone slabs. With a Buddha statue in the center and four stone pillars carved with Buddha statues, the Leiyin Cave is said to be the oldest surviving Buddha hall in China.

Xiao Xu was in the cave with three bodyguards, and the assassin Ah Hai smiled and said, "Please sit down slightly with General Xiao Xu, and my master will be there later." ”

"Where did he come from? The whole mountain was surrounded by my soldiers. ”

"My master, heaven and earth, can do anything."

Xu Shuzheng frowned, picked up the lamp, admired the Leiyin Cave Stone Sutra, and carefully experienced the hardships and piety of the Tang Dynasty monks' lettering.

Qin Beiyang, who was hiding in the secret passage at the top of the Leiyin Cave, heard the sound of talking from the Golden Immortal Cave next door.

All sounds are uploaded, and the Thunder Sound Cave and the Golden Immortal Cave are completely soundproof from each other. But in the secret passage above the two caves, it was heard very clearly.

Like a thief who climbs onto the roof, there are two bedrooms under the same roof, eavesdropping on the whispers of the master and the lady for a while, and peeking at the spring festival of the young master and the young grandmother.

There were several large lamps hanging in the Golden Immortal Cave, illuminating a wide mirror, and Qin Beiyang was particularly surprised - the face of Professor Wang Jiawei was refracted in the mirror.

Sitting next to the professor was Cai Yuanpei, president of Peking University, and Chen Zhongfu, editor-in-chief of "New Youth" and dean of liberal arts at Peking University. The fourth place is Qian Xuantong, a professor of Chinese language.

Wang Jiawei, Cai Yuanpei, Chen Zhongfu, Qian Xuantong - why did these four come to the Jinxian Cave in Shijing Mountain of Yunju Temple?

Unbeknownst to the four professors, the famous Beiyang warlord "Xiao Xu" was waiting to meet the Assassin's master in the Leiyin Cave next door.

There were four other people in the Golden Immortal Cave—a man in a long robe, thirty-seven or eighteen years old, shaved and bearded, with two motifs on his lips; the second, wearing a melon-skin hat and a thick braid behind his head, dressed as a Manchu relic, with a deep contour, a high nose bridge, and a curly beard; The third, the youngest in the cave, was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with an elegant and handsome face, dressed in a Western dress, and had the style of returning from Europe and the United States.

Fourth, Qin Beiyang knew this face - more than fifty years old, with a black beard and eyes like falcons, nine years ago in the Tianjin German Concession, this person stabbed Qin Beiyang's adoptive father to death from behind.

Old Assassin.

The last time Qin Beiyang saw this face, it was in the sea of clouds in the "Kingdom of Heaven", and he was called "Daddy".

This person was wearing a plain robe, wearing a square scarf, and he actually had the style of a fairy wind, and he hugged his fists and said: "Celebrities in the capital, thank you for appreciating the Shijing Mountain of Yunju Temple." The contemptible people follow the master's instructions, and it is also a rule passed down from the Qianlong period - the four treasures of Yunju, every other Jiazi, a full sixty years of reincarnation, to show the most learned people in the world. ”

The Four Treasures of Cloud Residence?

Qin Beiyang secretly wondered in his heart, and heard the laymen talk about the "Four Treasures of Yunju" - these four treasures, which have been treasured in Yunju Temple for generations, have been nominated by Emperor Qianlong's imperial pen, and are not revealed. Every 60 years, only the top seven talents in the world are destined to meet.

Under the pretext of displaying the "Four Treasures of Cloud Dwelling", the Assassin "Daddy" lured seven of China's top scholars. And in the Leiyin Cave next door, there is a scar-faced assassin Ah Hai, who lured out General Xiao Xu...... It must be an elaborate conspiracy.

The youngest man in a suit in the Golden Immortal Cave spoke: "The late-born Hu Shizhi, a fledgling, was able to rank among the seven university questioners, and he was ashamed!" The Four Treasures of Cloud Dwelling, what are the four things? There are different opinions, but it is a treasure that is coveted by scholars all over the world. ”

"It's not so much that the world's scholars want to see the true face of the Four Treasures of Yunju, but rather the vanity that wants to be ranked among the seven talents!"

The man who spoke was shaved and had two moiss, and the young Hu Shizhi bowed his head and said, "Mr. Zhou, what you said is also reasonable!" Later students were taught. ”

"Some people also say that the four treasures of Yunju are a scam! Emperor Qianlong only mocked the literati in the world. I would like to see if there are really the Four Treasures of Yunju, can I read another 4,000 years of cannibalism? ”

In the Golden Immortal Cave, while everyone was gossiping, the old assassin had opened a small door from the stone wall, first took out a sandalwood box, and placed it on the wooden table.

"This is the first treasure of the Four Treasures of Yunju: Princess Jinxian of the Tang Dynasty hand-copied the Heart Sutra of Prajnaparamita."

The old assassin unfolded a scroll of hard yellow paper, and the paper was evenly coated with wax, shiny and shiny, and it was full of fly's heads—

"When contemplating the bodhisattva in the depths of Prajnaparamita, he sees that all aggregates are empty, all suffering, the relics are not different, the color is not different, the color is empty, the color is the color, the mind is the same as the knowledge......

The text is just 26 crosses, absorbing 600 volumes of the essence of the Great Prajna Sutra. The calligraphy on the Tang paper is beautiful, with both form and spirit, and must have been written by a strong-willed woman.

There is a seal seal of the princess of the golden fairy, Professor Wang Jiawei carefully checked, regardless of the material of the paper and the characteristics of calligraphy, it is a real object of the Tang Dynasty, and it is by no means a forgery.

"The Heart Sutra is a guide to becoming a Buddha and a magic weapon for benefiting life." The oldest old man in the cave, with braided hair, spoke, "This Golden Immortal Cave is said to have been dug to worship the Golden Immortal Princess of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Princess Jinxian is the daughter of Li Dan of Tang Ruizong, the granddaughter of Wu Zetian and Gaozong Li Zhi, and the sister of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji. Unable to endure the darkness of the palace, the princess became a female Taoist priest at the age of eighteen, cultivated into an immortal in the Golden Immortal Temple of Zhongnan Mountain, and rode a crane to ascend to heaven. ”

The princess respected Buddhism, and asked her brother Tang Xuanzong to send more than 4,000 volumes of the old and new translations of the Tang Dynasty to Fangshan Yunju Temple in Fanyang, Youzhou, and promote the excavation of the Shijing Cave, so that there is the Golden Fairy Princess Tower on the top of the mountain, and there is this Golden Immortal Cave. In this life, I was fortunate to see one of the four treasures of Yunju, Gu Hongming died without regrets. ”

Qin Beiyang trembled slightly, it turned out that this old gentleman with braided hair was the famous Gu Hongming!

Seeing that everyone was attracted by the first treasure, the assassin "Daddy" smiled and took out the second treasure—

"The portrait of Li Longqi, the king of Zhongnan County, painted by Wu Daozi in the Tang Dynasty."

The king of Zhongnan County, Li Longqi, hearing these seven words, Qin Beiyang's heart was shocked again, and the nine colors all turned their heads together to look at it.

The Seven Scholars held their breath as the old Assassin carefully unfolded the scroll. It is also the yellow wax paper of the Tang Dynasty, which is beetle-proof and moisture-proof, and has been preserved for thousands of years without damage.

A complete portrait was revealed on the wooden case, a young man dressed in Tang Dynasty costumes, like lightning striking Qin Beiyang's eyes.

Li Longqi's face.

Suddenly, the cave on Shijing Mountain seemed to have become the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty tomb in Bailuyuan.

Just like the characters in the ancient tomb murals, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old little prince, Li Longqi, the king of Zhongnan County, has a pair of big and bright eyes, a tall nose bridge, plump lips, and a clear face outline. He did not wear a crown, wore a bun on his head, and only inserted a hairpin. does not wear the noble costumes of the Tang Dynasty, only a loose white robe, like a child of the woodcutter's family in the mountains. After 1,200 years, Li Longqi's skin is bright and dazzling, and his eyes are fresh and ready to come out.

Qin Beiyang actually had an illusion, as if the little prince in the portrait winked at him, and at the same time transmitted the sound into the secret ......

This authentic painting of Wu Daozi is indeed the true body of Li Longqi, the king of Zhongnan County. Because Jiu Se was trembling, the red mane swept across Qin Beiyang's cheeks, and the antlers on his head were about to come out. He could only try his best to reassure the people in the cave.

Qin Beiyang saw his face.

When he was a teenager, he lived in the underground palace of Emperor Guangxu's Chongling, and occasionally came out to look in the mirror, and what he saw was this face.

He touched his chin, lips, and eyebrows. Eighteen years ago, in the year of Gengzi, his parents fell into the Bailuyuan Necropolis Palace, and he was born on the coffin of the little prince?

The Hetian warm blood jade pendant on his chest was hot again.

On the chest of the little prince in the portrait of the Tang Dynasty, there is also a jade pendant, but there is no blood on the surface, but a solid mutton fat white jade, but the shape and size are exactly the same.

This is a gift from Jiu Se to Qin Beiyang's birth, since it comes from the underground palace of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty, it must be the same piece of jade!

As for the blue blood on the surface of the warm jade, it was produced after the death of the little prince.

The seven great talents were all amazed, and Gu Hongming covered his mouth so as not to stain the picture scroll with spittle: "Seeing the true works of Wu Daozi with my own eyes, I am fortunate to have three lives!" ”

Li Longqi, the king of Zhongnan County in this portrait, is also the son of Li Dan of Ruizong, who died young and was buried in Bailuyuan after his death. The death of this little prince has a shocking story of ghosts and gods, but it is a pity that it will not be passed on to future generations. Qian Xuantong, who was proficient in the pronunciation of the Tang Dynasty, added with a Zhejiang Huzhou accent, "The first treasure of the four treasures of Yunju is the hand-copied Heart Sutra by Princess Jinxian, and the second treasure is the hand-painted portrait of the king of Zhongnan County by Wu Daozi. Princess Jinxian and the little prince Li Longqi are both sons and daughters of Ruizong Li Dan, Wu Zetian's grandchildren, half-siblings, and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji is their elder brother. ”

Only then did Qin Beiyang understand why Jiuse knelt down in front of the Golden Immortal Princess Tower, and only because of this tower to worship the sister of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty.

In the Golden Immortal Cave, the old assassin put away the scroll of the portrait of the little prince and put it back on the stone wall. While the Seven Great Talents were waiting for the third treasure of the "Four Treasures of Cloud Dwelling", Qin Beiyang heard a voice from the Thunder Sound Cave on the other side of the secret path......
