Time flies in the blink of an eye, time is like a passing water, and between the four seasons, decades have passed.

Time has passed, going to the old and welcoming the new, but the palace of the king of Chu does not seem to have been eroded by the years, and it still stands in this Jinling city, becoming more and more prosperous.

Today's inside and outside the Chu Palace, it is extremely busy, full of lights and beaming.

Just because three days later, it is the fiftieth birthday of the King of Chu Changgong Longcheng.

There is an endless stream of people who come and go to celebrate their birthdays, so it is not lively.

Lieutenant Zheng Guo Chi Tong: Fifty baskets of sand gold, one sword.

Li Jingtang, King of Hedong: 2,000 brocades, 10 first-grade inkstones.

Mrs. Gu Sulin: Twenty night pearls in the Beihai Sea.

Fan Rong, the lord of Bohai City: A true handiwork of the sage, a thousand-year-old ginseng plant in Changbai Mountain.

Xue Mingyong, King of Xiliang, Li Shiting, Prince Gong, and so on.

With the call of salute, more and more people came, all of them were dignitaries, all of whom were prominent figures calling for wind and rain.

At this moment, in front of the palace, two handsome young men were greeting the guests with a smile on their faces.

These two are none other than the two precious sons of Changgong Longcheng, the king of Chu.

The older one is called Changgong Biannan, twenty-six years old this year, and he was canonized as a general by the imperial court at a young age, guarding the northern frontier.

And the younger one is called Chang Gong Yao, who is eighteen or nineteen years old, although he has not entered the official career, but he has traveled abroad for many years, but he is proficient in all three religions and nine streams, plus he is talented and intelligent, and he is doted on by the king of Chu.

I saw this Changgong Yao turn his head, smile all over his face, and say to Changgong Bian Nan beside him; "Brother, you see that this person should be almost here, or I will go back and change my clothes first, you look at my dirty appearance, if I see those big people in a while, I will lose the face of you and my father."

Hearing Changgong Haruka's words, Changgong Biannan said; "What the hell are you kid doing? I can make it clear to you that in two days it will be my father's birthday, and if you dare to cause trouble, see if I don't clean you up. ”

However, although he said this, his tone did not mean the slightest reproach, for this younger brother, he was both fond and helpless.

Looking at Changgong Bian Nan Ying, Changgong Yao smiled and hugged his fists; "Follow my brother's teachings."

Chang Gong Bian Nan looked at his younger brother who looked like this, knocked his index finger knuckle on Chang Gong Yao's head, and accompanied a guest who had just arrived and went to the palace.

When Changgong Bian Nan disappeared from sight with the newly arrived guests, Changgong Yao Fang straightened up, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and turned the corner of the wall with a smoke.

And a young man in Tsing Yi has been waiting here for a long time, and it is the little attendant in the courtyard of Changgong Yao on weekdays, called Xiao Quan.

Seeing Chang Gong Yao, Xiao Quanquan hurriedly greeted him,

"Master, you're here"

Changgong Yao nodded with a smile and asked; "How's it going?"

Xiao Quanquan replied; "Everything is ready, just wait for you, young master."

Haruka Tonomiya; "Are the two of Du Lang and Cen Kai here?"

"It's been a long time, if it weren't for the presence of the eldest young master, the little ones wouldn't have been able to stop those young masters." Xiao Quanquan replied with a bitter face.

Changgong Haruka knew the temper of those guys, and he didn't say anything, but turned his eyes to the sky, and changed his playful posture,

Said with a resolute expression; "The day after tomorrow is my father's birthday, I will definitely take the horn of the dragon python, one can celebrate my father's birthday, and the other is that the horn of the dragon python is just used in medicine, and it can also cure the hidden disease of my father for many years."

That's right, Changgong Yao is planning to go to Tianque Mountain today, there is a dragon python in the mountain that is hundreds of years old, the horn of the dragon python is the best healing medicine, he is going to get it today, as a birthday gift to Changgong Dragon City.

Xiao Quanquan on the side saw his young master's demeanor and words, and said smoothly; "Just for your filial piety, young master, we will definitely succeed this time."

"Uh-huh, it must be!" Chang Gong Yao nodded heavily, in a good mood. Although this little complete has no martial arts, this sharp tooth is really likable.

While the master and servant were talking, they came to the purple bamboo forest of Qixia Mountain behind the palace.

Seeing the figures of the two, Du Lang and the others, who had been waiting here, hurriedly greeted them.

Seeing Chang Gong Yao, who was late, Du Lang pretended to complain and said; "Young Master Yao, I thought you weren't coming, I waited for a few brothers, but I waited for the flowers."

As soon as Du Lang said this, everyone echoed it, and they all blamed Chang Gong Yao for procrastinating in doing things.

Seeing this, Changgong Yao said to Du Lang with a smile; "It's not your fault, you won't call me after a long time."

Cen Kai on the side laughed when he heard this; "Do you expect him to call you? He is afraid that Brother Bian Nan is scared to death, and you don't know it. ”

Hearing Cen Kai's words, Du Lang glanced at him, "You're not afraid, so why don't you go?" ”

"Uh......!"

Being asked like this, Cen Kai was suddenly choked, because he really couldn't refute it.

Why are the two of them so afraid of Changgong Biannan? Because these two often play together with Haruka Changmiya, they are often disciplined by Biannan of Changgong.

Changgong Biannan treats them like his own brothers, and the eldest brother is like a father, and they are both afraid and respectful of Changgong Biannan.

Seeing that the two were arguing, Chang Gong Yao didn't care about them, and said to everyone present with his fists; "I'm tired of waiting here for a long time, and when I return this time, how about I invite you brothers to get drunk in the flower picking building?"

"It's pretty much the same, I heard that there are a lot of treasures in that building!"

As soon as he heard the defloration building, Cen Kai's eyes lit up.

"Cen Dashao, what you always say about rare treasures, I'm afraid it's not the new little ladies?"

At this time, it was Fang Shitong, the young master of the Fang family, who spoke, and everyone laughed when they heard his ridiculous words.

Don't look at this Cen Kai's age, he has quite enough heat for beauty. After all, he was the one who had been staying in the Qinglou since he was twelve or thirteen years old.

Seeing that everyone was making fun of himself, Cen Kai hurriedly waved his hand to divert the topic,

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business! Besides, is my brother like that? ”

Du Lang quipped; "No, no, absolutely not, who dares to say that you are, we will help you break his dog's leg."

This punch line caused another wave of laughter.

A group of teenagers are romantic, high-spirited, and full of smiles.

However, just as the crowd was in a state of jubilation, only one member of the crowd spoke; "Brothers, forgive me, it's not that I don't know how to have fun, and I want to disturb everyone's interest. It's just that since time is pressing, in my opinion, it's important for us to get down to business, and as for eating, drinking, and having fun, it's not too late to talk about it when we come back. ”

As soon as this person's words came out, they attracted everyone's attention, but they didn't know it.

However, in the next second, I saw Qin Mingyu on the side hurriedly pulling him over and introduced; "Brothers, let me introduce to you, this is my friend Ma Yunjue. This time, the younger brother made his own decision and invited him to go with him, I wonder if Brother Yao minds? ”

Seeing Qin Mingyu come out to explain, everyone realized that this person was his friend.

Changgong Yao heard this and said with a smile; "Mingyu, where are you! With Brother Yunjue's help, I can't ask for it, so why do I mind? It's just hard Brother Yunjue. ”

Ma Yunjue also arched his hand on the side and said: "Yunjue came uninvited, and I hope that Brother Chang Gong will not blame the younger brother for being rude, as for how the younger brother needs to be matched, Brother Chang Gong will order." ”

He didn't call Chang Gong Yao Brother like Qin Mingyu, because he knew that his relationship with Chang Gong Yao had not yet reached that point.

Because the matter was really urgent, Chang Gong Yao didn't say much, nodded to Ma Yunjue with a smile, and continued; "Now that the people are all here, let's go! It will take at least two hours from here to the Tianque Mountain Range, and we will talk while walking on the way. ”

"However, this time, you brothers must be more careful. Although there was a burst of Zen sound at the foot of the mountain that day, there were many fierce and vicious beasts on the mountain, and the dragon python was hidden in its hidden dragon mountain, and if you were not careful, you were afraid that your life would be in danger. ”

However, although Changgong Haruka was so cautious in his words, he saw that everyone did not take his words to heart.

Among them, all of them are dignitaries with deep backgrounds, what scene have they not seen? It's just a Foshan Mountain, so naturally they won't care too much.

Just listen to Qin Mingyudao; "Isn't it just a mountain, why does Brother Yao say it so mysteriously?"

"Brothers, don't despise this Tianque Mountain, speaking of which, this mountain can be described as having a great origin, and it cannot be underestimated."

Seeing that everyone didn't take their words to heart, Changgong Haruka had to say solemnly.

Last time, I wanted to hunt down those two people, but I almost gave up my life inside.

"Brother Yao, don't sell it when you are old, you can tell me what is going on, and let me and other people who are not heard of increase their knowledge."

Although Qin Mingyu said something joking, it aroused everyone's curiosity, and they all gathered around.

Hearing this, Chang Gong Yao didn't shirk it, although they themselves asked to come over to help, but some of these people are brothers who have played since childhood,

Some of them came with the elders of the family to celebrate their father's birthday, all of them are people with status and status, and the one among them who can make this Jinling City tremble whenever something happens.

What's more, this is an extraordinary time, if someone has an accident, I am afraid that it will affect the Chu Palace. So even though time is short, I must explain the situation to them.

This Tianque Mountain, also known as Niujiao Mountain, is located in the southern suburbs of Jinling 180 miles, by Tianque Mountain, Zutang Mountain, Biluo Mountain, Yinlong Mountain, East Tianmu Ridge, West Tianmu Ridge and many other large and small mountains. It is named because of the confrontation between the east and west twin peaks, which resembles the horns of a bull.

During the Daxing period, Emperor Yuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty wanted to establish a double gate outside the Xuanyang Gate of the capital city to show the supremacy of imperial power. Prime Minister Wang Dao believes that the imperial court is in its infancy, and the financial resources are insufficient, so it is really not suitable to establish Shuangque. One day, he accompanied Emperor Yuan out of Xuanyang Gate, looked south, and saw the confrontation between the twin peaks of Niushou Mountain, and the scenery was spectacular.

Then he pointed to the mountain peaks and said; "This day is also annoying."

Emperor Yuan understood Wang Dao's painstaking efforts, listened to his opinion, and canceled the plan to establish Shuangque, but the reputation of "Tianque Mountain" has been passed down.

It is rumored that in the fifth year of Emperor Xiaowu of Liu Song in the Southern Dynasty, the high monk Pizhi had set up penance in this place, and finally became a Buddha and went west, so he left the Buddha Cave. For hundreds of years, countless people have wanted to find the inheritance left by Bizhi, but all of them have taken advantage of the excitement and returned disappointed. ”

When he said this, Changgong Yao stopped, and he didn't want to talk about the rest of the matter, because it was really sensational.

Unexpectedly, Ma Yunjue on the side took over and said; "In fact, it can also be said that I found the Bizhi Buddha Cave, but no one has seen what is inside, so some people call the Bizhi Buddha Cave a demon cave."

"Why, haven't they all found the Buddha Cave, hasn't anyone ever entered it?" Li Weiqing asked.

Jack Ma Jue Road; "I've been in."

"Why don't you know what's in the cave after you go in, is it possible that those people have found the inheritance and also ascended to Buddhahood?"

Li Weiqing was puzzled again, and at the same time, everyone frowned slightly, looking at each other.

Ma Yunjue went on to explain; "No, how easy is it to ascend to Buddhahood? The high monks of the Bizhi branch don't know how much time it took and how much cause and effect they suffered to be able to soar, and how could ordinary people attain the Tao at will. ”

"Then why did all the people who went in disappear?" The crowd was puzzled.

Jack Ma Jue Road; "Because every group of people who went to find the lineage died, and on the third day they entered the mountain, their bodies were found all over the temple, so no one knew what was inside."

"Ahh How so? The crowd exclaimed.

"Not only that, but after the death of those who entered the cave, the corpses were all mutilated, some of the heads were missing, some of the limbs were missing, anyway, it was extremely bloody and terrifying." Hearing this, Haruka Changgong added.

He didn't expect that this Ma Yunjue knew a lot.

All he knows is that he has been out for many years, and Ma Yunjue is the son of a family. But I don't know, where did I know these secrets?

But it's not surprising that the Ma family in Kyoto was not an ordinary wealthy nobleman.

"Could it be that the monks in the temple killed them, and then created the illusion of killing people in the Buddha cave, so as to protect the Bizhi lineage, or achieve some ulterior purposes."

At this moment, Qin Mingyu made a bold assumption.

Jack Ma explained; "At the beginning, some people were suspicious of this, so since the first incident, as long as someone enters the mountain, all the monks under the mountain will gather in the Buddhist hall in the temple to chant the scriptures, but every group of people who enter the mountain will still die inexplicably."

"Then why doesn't the government care?" Qin Mingyu asked.

Ma Yunjue shook his head and said with a smile; "Do you think the ordinary yamen can control these people in the rivers and lakes?"

Hearing that this Tianque Mountain was so terrifying, Cen Kai hurriedly said; "I'll be obedient, Ah Yao, in such a terrifying place, you still take us there, my family's wealth has not been spent, how can this die?"

The Lu Guogong Mansion is notoriously rich, but this thing is still trembling as he speaks, as if he is panicked and afraid of death.

Seeing Cen Kai make such an appearance, Fang Shitong said in a strange voice on the side; "Young Master Cen, if you are afraid, you will turn around and go back, I think that the brothers present will never spread your name of greed for life and fear of death all over Kyoto in the future."

"Brothers, are you right?"

Just make fun of yourself, but Fang Shitong is still coaxing everyone together.

Everyone was also extremely cooperative, and they all assured that they would never spread the news that Cen Kai was as timid as a mouse.

Looking at Fang Shitong's disdainful and smug look, coupled with the playful smiles of everyone next to him, Cen Kai was suddenly displeased, and slapped a palm towards a tree the size of a bowl next to him, and snorted coldly; "Afraid? Uncle Ben, I learned literature at the age of three, and martial arts at the age of five. How could I be afraid? ”

Seeing that everyone was joking with Cen Kai, Chang Gong Yao didn't stop it, he knew that Fang Shitong and the two of them liked to raise the bar and fight with each other on weekdays.

But what they didn't expect was that they walked only ten meters, and the tree that had just been split by Cen Kai was broken in two.

This surprised everyone present, and they were also impressed by Cen Kai.

The group hurried for a while, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to Tianque Mountain,

Chang Gong Yao said again; "There is a Buddhist temple in that mountain, which began in the early years of the Southern Dynasty. Nowadays, there is a master of Fa Rong who is here to give a lecture on the scriptures, and this master is a monk who has attained enlightenment and has profound Buddhism.

When we go this time, don't be rude, don't act recklessly, and let me make arrangements. ”

Hearing this, everyone responded "yes", and a group of eight horsemen rushed towards Tianque Mountain.
