"Wait!" Qi Chengxuan in the rear suddenly stopped the three-character scripture in his mouth. Qi Chengxuan felt the rusty thick iron chain beside the stone steps. Bai Xueying also quickly descended a few steps, the flashlight still did not have much electricity, and with the faint light shining along the thick iron chain, a Tang Dynasty coffin tied by iron chains was suspended in mid-air. The two reflexively withdrew their flashlights.

"Did you really get to the main burial chamber?" Bai Xueying lowered her voice, excited and scared in her heart.

"Let's go down and talk about it." Qi Chengxuan took her hand, and the two walked down one after the other.

Suddenly, there was a flash of fire all around, and the lampposts around it were ablaze.

Bai Xueying was frightened and hurriedly hid behind Qi Chengxuan.

Qi Chengxuan patted and comforted: "Don't be afraid, it is said that the lamp oil of the ever-bright lamp in the ancient tomb is made of mermaid oil, in fact, it is the lamp oil extracted from the fat on the whale's body, which is very burn-resistant, when the ancient people made the ever-bright lamp, they would put white phosphorus next to the wick, and the white phosphorus will spontaneously combust when it encounters air, when the thousand-year-old tomb is disturbed by the outside world, fresh air will pour into the tomb, and the wick of the ever-bright lamp will burn again with the help of white phosphorus." ”

"Look at it!" Bai Xue Ying pointed to the top of her head, and saw that the funnel-like burial chamber was unusually wide. Narrow and steep stone steps spiraled down the stone wall, and the two of them actually walked down the steps one by one.

At the center of the magnificent burial chamber is a thick coffin of lacquered wood suspended and bound by nine iron chains, each of which is tied with three soul-shaking bells with red ropes. Underneath the coffin is a huge circular lotus seat. On the lower edge of the lotus seat are three circular steps, separated by a black liquid, some gurgling and bubbling. It's intimidating to watch!

"There seems to be a word engraved on this coffin." Bai Xueying stood curiously on the lotus seat and looked carefully at it with a flashlight.

"It seems to be a Tibetan Buddhist tantric ~ mantra." Qi Chengxuan walked behind her and explained.

"I found out that you know everything, are you a college student or not?" Bai Xueying felt that the current Qi Chengxuan was different from the Qi Chengxuan she knew.

"What did I guess?" Qi Chengxuan felt that he had said too much, looking at the Tibetan Buddhist Esoteric ~ Sect mantra on the hanging coffin, it was obviously engraved by later generations, and it seemed that the blood of Shi Fa had been added. Could it be that the great lamas of Tibet came to this tomb to cast spells? Looking at this hanging coffin, it is not to be underestimated.

"Oh, the lotus seat under this hanging coffin is so big, it's so beautiful!" Bai Xue Sakura approached curiously to watch.

"Be careful! Forget the Zhong Kui statue above, it should be to suppress the owner of this tomb, since this coffin is tied up like this, maybe the thousand-year-old zongzi inside has been transformed, we better be careful. Qi Chengxuan stepped forward and grabbed her.

"What smells so bad?" Bai Xue Sakura took a few steps back, subconsciously covering her mouth and nose.

I saw the round lotus seat under the coffin, which should be the place where the coffin was originally placed. Below the lotus seat are three circular steps, and between the steps are filled with black liquid, some gurgling and bubbling.

Qi Chengxuan couldn't help frowning and said, "It's the Black Water Swamp!" ”

"Let's find an exit." As soon as she heard that it was a swamp, Bai Xue Sakura hurriedly retreated obediently. I saw that there were many artificially built dark grooves under the golden walls and jade walls around, which were full of various scriptures and gold, silver and jade, and some were still silk books and bamboo slips. Naturally, books have been almost corrupted by insects and ants. The two couldn't help but shout together, but it was a pity.

The burial chamber is surrounded by brightly coloured and exquisite frescoes.

"Is this the Xuanzang Master of the Tang Dynasty?" Bai Xueying saw a tall colorful mural, the painting was very exquisite, a Tang monk standing in a meditation room full of scriptures wearing a red monk's robe, the two sides of the expression was humble and respectful. Opposite him was an aristocratic couple, dressed in silk and satin, with the same hands clasped together with humble and respectful expressions. It seems that this is just a meeting between a high-ranking monk and a middle-aged aristocratic couple in the meditation room.

"This middle-aged couple should be Wei Chi Jingde and Mrs. Eguo, this senior monk should be Master Xuanzang, look at this meditation room is full of scriptures and Wei Chi Jingde and Mrs. Eguo's respect for him. There are not many high-ranking monks in the Tang Dynasty," Qi Chengxuan was also curious about the identity of this high-ranking monk.

"Look here!" Bai Xueying looked at Qi Chengxuan's fingers, only to see that Xuanzang had placed a neatly stacked red robe inlaid with gems on the bed.

"This should be a brocade robe, which is said to have been given to Master Xuanzang by Tang Taizong." Qi Chengxuan explained.

"Master Xuanzang should be a big man at this time, why don't you wear a colorful brocade robe?"

"Do you think this place looks like a Bayeux book?" Bai Xueying pointed to the stacks of rectangular books on the bookshelves on the wall.

"It should be, it is said that the only 20 pieces of Bayeux Sutra left in the underground palace of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda were brought by Master Xuanzang when he took scriptures from the ancient seal ~ degree." Qi Chengxuan continued to watch the mural with his hands on his cheeks.

Suddenly, the figure of a small novice caught his attention, a five or six-year-old little novice hiding under Master Xuanzang's monk's robe, revealing two small feet, as if afraid of meeting strangers.

"Who is this little monk?" The two couldn't help but have questions.

"Look at this mural!" I saw the senior monk introduce Mrs. Eguo to the little novice, and Mrs. Meng touched the little novice very affectionately.

Wei Chi Jingde on the side looked very repulsed. Followed by the third picture, I saw Master Xuanzang holding a phoenix pattern wrapped in gold, and a beautiful box with jade inlaid on the lid of the box, handed it to the two of them, with a very pious and helpless expression.

Wei Chi Jingde and Mrs. Eguo looked at each other, their faces full of expectation. In the fourth picture, the box is opened. Yu Chi Jingde held a cowhide roll in his hand, like the ecstasy of obtaining a treasure.

On the side, Mrs. Meng of the Eguo State was holding a delicate jade bi the size of a bowl, and I saw that the jade bi was smooth and faintly pastel. From the inner hole to the outer circle, a long pink cherry blossom twisted knot is tied to complement each other perfectly. The expression of Mrs. Meng, who was controlled by the pink control, naturally flew with her eyebrows, and she was overjoyed.

The latter is a description of a fantasy world, Qiongyu Pavilion, fairy lingering, under a huge cherry blossom tree, a beautiful young woman in a pink dress dances with the cherry blossoms in the sky, as if in a fairyland.

"Why is there such a mural here, and what does it say?" Bai Xue Sakura was puzzled.

"You forgot, the first time you saw the cherry blossom petal pendant, you hallucinated, and that's probably why. For the first time, Mrs. Eguo saw the hallucination of this pink crystal jade, and thought that she had directly seen the fairyland. So I drew the picture of the brain supplement together. Maybe after death, he will be reborn as a flying immortal. ”

The frescoes after that are immediately apparent. On a dark and windy night, the middle-aged aristocratic couple secretly took away the sleeping little novice, while Master Xuanzang on the side closed his eyes and knocked on the wooden fish, as if none of this had happened. But his expression was still other than him, full of worry and reluctance.

Later, it was mainly said that Yu Chi Jingde held a cowhide roll in his hand and guarded the alchemy room day and night, and Mrs. Meng Shi of Eguo held the pastel exquisite jade every day, and her face seemed to be much younger. However, one of the murals caught the attention of the two of them, and it was about Wei Chi Jingde's wife Meng Shi when she died of old age and gray, and her expression was very sad. A young man in black knelt beside the bed crying in grief, the only difference from the mural in the tomb when he just came in was that the imperial doctor and his family left the room, and the lady of the Eguo country, Meng Shi, was lifted up and leaned on the shoulder of the young man in black. She held a jade pillow inlaid with gold and silver in her hand and handed it to the black-clothed young man, as if she was entrusting something important, only to see the black-clothed young man's face full of sadness and tears. The mural after that is out ~ burial, soul ascension, strange beasts leading the way, goodbye cherry blossom tree rebirth and other parts.

"Do you understand the content of the mural?" Qi Chengxuan turned his head to look at Bai Xue Ying. Bai Xueying nodded ignorantly and shook her head, obviously as if she didn't understand.

"At present, I can't be sure of this brain-opening reasoning, let's take a look at this in Master Xuanzang's hand first, do you see if it's a thousand machine boxes for bathing in phoenix and cherry blossoms?" Qi Chengxuan walked back to the mural just now and pointed at it.

"Bath phoenix cherry blossom thousand machine box?!" Bai Xue Sakura suddenly realized, and hurriedly took out the cherry blossom petal pendant she had worn for a long time from her neck.

At this time, Qi Chengxuan also took off the cherry blossom petal pendant around his neck, took the one in Bai Xueying's hand, and looked at the five-petal cherry blossom gem on the box in the mural.

"It should be, bath phoenix cherry blossom thousand machine box." Qi Chengxuan looked at the two cherry blossom petal pendants in his hand very firmly.

"Master Xuanzang, in order to let Yu Chigong and his wife adopt this little novice, they have also made a bloody investment. But what kind of character is Wei Chi Jingde, how can he be impressed with a mere cowhide roll and pastel jade. Bai Xue Ying was puzzled.

"What you said makes sense, besides, Master Xuanzang's enlightened monks naturally don't care about these treasures. When he met with Wei Chigong and his wife, he only wore an ordinary robe. It shows that he understands his identity better, and Master Xuanzang is a monk who will not be proud of his achievements. In order to promote Buddhist culture, he has been translating scriptures all his life, and even when he learned that his life was coming to an end, he did not slack off in the slightest. He is a man of perseverance, hardship, and fearlessness of life and death. Completely relying on personal will and belief to go through thousands of mountains and rivers to study Buddhist scriptures in Tianzhu in the West, and Journey to the West is weak and deceivable, and Tang Seng who does not distinguish between good and evil is completely two people. Xuanzang is the "religious hero" in my mind, and he is the Buddhist master I admire the most. ”

Qi Chengxuan talked eloquently, and his admiration was still in the midst of his palms. Bai Xueying also learned from him and bowed to Master Xuanzang on the mural.

"By the way, do you remember, I told you that the cherry blossom petal pendant in our hands can have an impact on people's minds? My dad just told me, don't keep staring, it's good for your body. I look at the pastel jade on the mural, it seems to be the same material. Bai Xue Ying reminded.

"I understand what you mean, this one in my own hand was brought back from Japan by my grandfather, and the Yufeng Sakura Thousand Machine Box still doesn't know where it went. My mother told me before that this cherry blossom petal pendant was not an ordinary jade, and it was covered with a layer of pulp. If this layer of pulp is unsealed, this cherry blossom petal pendant will be hallucinating. The last time you faked it in the old man's shop, he asked him to re-wrap it for you. ”

Qi Chengxuan looked down at the two cherry blossom petal pendants in his hand again and said, "My mother said that this jade should absorb a lot of other radiation-containing electromagnetic energy when it was formed, and when this ability spreads, it affects the human brain's thinking. But this kind of jade has a nourishing effect on the human body and should be able to prolong life, so medicine jars like yours can be worn every day. ”

"Nasty! You're just a medicine jar! You look at this Lady of Sakura Meng on the dresser, and it's clear that this pastel jade has an effect on her body. ”

This shows the value of this pastel jade, after Yu Chi Jingde passed away at the age of 74, this cherry blossom lady Meng died right. And Yu Chi Jingde was addicted to alchemy in his later years, and what Master Xuanzang gave him should be a secret alchemy recipe. ”

"That Master Xuanzang gave such a good thing to Wei Chigong and his wife, just so that they could adopt this little novice, it seems that this little novice is very important to him."

"Well, for a monk who is dedicated to the Buddha, what seven emotions and six desires, and mundane things in the world, have long been thrown out of the Three Realms."

"Although Master Xuanzang is dedicated to the Buddha, he is not disturbed by the world. But don't forget that he had three disciples. The first is the great apprentice debater, the second is the master of mercy, and the latter is the master of round measurement. Qi Chengxuan obviously straightened out the doubts in his heart, and now he only needs to demonstrate it, so he took Bai Xueying back to the mural that he had seen before that Mrs. Meng Shi of Eguo handed over to the black-clothed boy with gold and silver jade pillows, and asked Bai Xueying: "Can you be sure that this black-clothed young man is the little novice when he was young?" ”

"This?" It is difficult to draw a conclusion with only a few murals without textual descriptions, and Bai Xueying couldn't help frowning.

"If I'm not mistaken..."Qi Chengxuan couldn't help but smile mysteriously.

"What are you laughing at, you can still laugh in the tomb!" Bai Xue Ying glared at him fiercely, and he was beaten up!

"Okay, I'm not smiling, let's sit down and say, I'm a little hungry." Qi Chengxuan opened Bai Xueying's backpack, found some water and compressed biscuits, and handed them to Bai Xueying.

"What the hell do you want to say, you must not hold back any good fart," Bai Xueying complained as she drank water.

"I said you're a girl, you have to taste no matter how you talk!" Qi Chengxuan snickered softly.

Bai Xueying just wanted to have a seizure and wanted to make a move, Qi Chengxuan pointed to the hanging coffin in the middle of the tomb.

"Tell me what you think," the two of them found a clean corner and sat on the floor.

"I guess that this little novice is the young man in black who you said is like Miyagi and Jin Jue, and it should be the illegitimate son of Princess Gaoyang and Bianji," Qi Chengxuan said in a word.

"What did you say?!"

"The gossip editor doesn't have you to talk about!" Bai Xue Sakura retorted with wide eyes.

Everyone basically knows about the debate monk and Princess Gaoyang.

The secular ethics and morality between the monk and the princess Gaoyang are still talked about by later generations, and this matter was also spread in the Tang Dynasty at that time. Rumor has it that the monk and Princess Gaoyang once gave birth to a son, so who is this child and where did he go later?

In real history, there is more than one son of Princess Gaoyang, but there is no clear evidence to prove which one is the child of the debater. In fact, the reason why the relationship between the debate monk and Princess Gaoyang was not recognized, in addition to their identities being a princess and a monk, another reason was that Princess Gaoyang was married to someone else at that time, and her husband was Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yiai, but Princess Gaoyang didn't love him.

However, about the descendants of Princess Gaoyang, it is still recorded that she and Fang are in love. Fang Yiai has four children, but none of them have names, they all live in the Qizhou area, but for Princess Gaoyang's love for the debate, even if they have been in love for a long time, but the children are not recorded, so the debate monk and Princess Gaoyang's son may be a mystery.

In the real history, the ending of the debate machine and Princess Gaoyang was very tragic, because their adultery was discovered, so Tang Taizong was very angry and ordered to behead the debate machine, and Princess Gaoyang hated her father very much, so she tried her best to avenge the debate machine, and then she and her husband Fang Yiai tried to rebel, but the matter was finally exposed, Princess Gaoyang was given white silk to commit suicide, and her children were bound to be implicated, it is said that they were all exiled to Lingnan, for their whereabouts after that, the historical materials did not mention it again, perhaps this is the fate of the implicated royal family.

"Or after the death of Princess Gaoyang, Master Xuanzang couldn't bear to look at the descendants of his disciples, or his own compassionate heart, he saved the poor child. Debate was once the most proud disciple that Master Xuanzang had spent a lot of effort cultivating. Even "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" was dictated by Master Xuanzang and written by the debater. Although Buddhism pays attention to the purity of the six roots, it is bound to have deep feelings for the disciples who have been carefully taught. Qi Chengxuan said seriously.

"Maybe what you deduced is also reasonable, Master Xuanzang is afraid that the matter will be revealed, and it is also the safest way to transfer the child to Wei Chigong and his wife to raise. But Yu Chigong was obsessed with alchemy and becoming an immortal in his later years, and from this child's childhood to his youth, he didn't seem to be treated well by the Yu Chi family. So in the end, Mrs. Meng of the Eguo Kingdom handed over this jade pillow inlaid with gold and silver to the black-clothed young man before she died, perhaps at this time she had already told him about his life and asked him to leave Wei Chi's house in order to save his life. ”

Bai Xue Ying got up and looked at the heartbroken young man in black, as if she saw Miyagi Tilt appear in front of her eyes, and her heart couldn't help but gush with a trace of pity.

"No matter what the truth of history is, what immortality, what illegitimate children, some have become dust, have become old dreams. You don't have to mind, let's find an outlet. After Qi Chengxuan finished speaking, he groped around the tomb.

Suddenly, a pair of warm hands hugged him from behind Qi Chengxuan, startling him. After seeing it clearly, I realized that it was the girl's white hands, and my heart couldn't help but bloom. It seems that this little bit is planning to officially confess to himself.

"Xuanxuan, do you miss me?" The other party asked shyly.

"What are you doing?" Qi Chengxuan turned his head and felt that Bai Xue Ying was a little strange.

I saw the girl in red in front of me with slightly curly and naturally waist-length hair, a flawless face, and a pair of standard Danfeng eyes, delicate and charming.

"Sister Pure!" Qi Chengxuan only felt a chill down his spine, and he didn't know how to react.

At this time, under the huge lotus seat of the coffin hanging in the center of the tomb, the black liquid between the steps began to gurgle and gurgle.

He even began to spew out foul-smelling gases like rotten eggs. The height of the gas blew the soul-shaking bell on the chain, and one sounded, which also resonated with the others.

More than a dozen soul-shaking bells rang at the same time, Qi Chengxuan felt that his eardrums couldn't stand it, and his head was buzzing, he covered his ears and wanted to pull the red clothes in front of him. Suddenly, the hand was grabbed by another person. It's white snow cherry blossoms! Qi Chengxuan shook his buzzing head to identify everything in front of him, and sure enough, there were two figures beside him. He subconsciously stepped back, and one of the voices called out his name again. And the other was a voice he once knew. "Xuanxuan, it's me! I'm pure, I'm back..."

"Sister Pure, Sister Pure, is that you?" Qi Chengxuan wanted to try to stand firm and see everything in front of him, but the decibels emitted by the Soul Shaking Bell were still difficult for him to resist.

"All you have to do is kill her and let me live in her, and I will be resurrected from the dead. So that we can be together forever. The voice was constantly bewitching his mind.
