In the first year of Xuantong, the eighth day of the lunar month.

In Xiao County, Xuzhou Prefecture, JS Province, a goose feather heavy snowfall fell last night, covering a place called "Baitu Village" in the county.

As far as the eye can see, there is silver frost and white snow, covering the bare barren mountains and wilderness, and also covering those dead wood and rotten leaves; In the ice and snow, only a few vigorous old trees with crooked branches were left in a strange shape, and the branches were covered with frost.

There is a mountain here, called Tianmen Mountain, there is a temple in the mountain, it is called Tianmen Temple.

In the cold winter, it is the eighth day of the first lunar month, catch up with the Tianmen Temple to give porridge, along the mountain road many good men and women and nearby villagers all have an early morning, carrying bowls and cans, and they are already going up the mountain.

Although it is called "Tianmen Temple", but the nuns live in the temple, it is a nunnery.

I saw that among the pilgrims who climbed the mountain one after another, there was a man in his early thirties who was also following the flow of people, wearing felt hats, climbing the mountain, his face was thin and resolute, wearing a green cloth cotton robe, the sleeves were sewn with two cotton sleeves with fleece surface, holding his hands, and on his feet were two thick cotton shoes.

Chen Zhuo's steps seem to be ordinary, but his foot speed is extremely fast.

Raise your eyes and look, but see that the mountain of "Tianmen Mountain" seems to be split from the heavenly axe, the twin peaks stand on the wall, confront each other from afar, climb high step by step as if facing the gate of heaven, and Tianmen Temple is named after this.

The incense here is prosperous, the crown of the temple, even if the world is difficult and difficult, there is still an endless stream of pilgrims and believers.

The place where the porridge is given is set up in the place where the temple fair is held on weekdays, and there is a stage, and many hawkers come to join in the fun, driving two large cauldrons on the flat ground, and the firewood is burning underneath, overflowing with fireworks.

But he didn't come for this porridge.

Without a trace, he glanced at the few masters who gave porridge, Chen Zhuo's eyes flashed, and he never stopped under his feet, and went straight to the mountain.

Break into the King's Relic.

Now that the great calamity has been removed, just wait for the Qing court to fall and the shackles are gone, even if he has no ambition, he still wants to add fuel to the fire and add fuel to the fire for the group of people with lofty ideals who are full of enthusiasm; Moreover, martial arts study, industrial science, and expenses are indispensable, and before returning to the north, Gu Yu gave him the place where this treasure was buried.

Now, it's time to check it out.

Snow-capped, there are pilgrims on the road from time to time to go up the mountain, and there are a few little masters along the steps to sweep the snow, from time to time to the palm of the hand to breathe hot, look at the ignorance, afraid of fifteen or sixteen years old, look around, seem to be curious about everything outside the mountain, meet the pilgrims to give gifts, one by one in a hurry, proclaim the Buddha's name, one by one.

Chen Zhuo is also among them, the only difference is that when you enter the temple to see the Buddha, you don't worship, you only give money for incense.

There was no word all the way, and he finally stopped until the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Gu Yu had told him that there was only one treasure of King Chuang, and there were many scattered places, and what he was looking for was one of them.

But Gu Yu only knew that the treasure was in the palace, but he didn't understand the details, so he had to explore it himself.

There are a lot of palaces here, there are more than 20 rooms to say less, built in turn, but only this Daxiong Treasure Hall is somewhat special, leaning against the cliff wall, the wall is embedded with the rock wall, there is a huge stone under the rock like a different peak cross-section, stretching into the hall, holding the Buddha statue on it, unusual.

Seeing that there was no one around, he circled around the Buddha statue for half a circle, looked at the boulder below, and carefully observed the surrounding floor tiles, and then strode away.

It was late at night when heavy snow fell.

After the pilgrims dispersed and the nuns went to bed, Chen Zhuo turned back and returned.

How do you think that all the halls are dark, but the Daxiong Treasure Hall is lit up, and there is a sound of knocking on the wooden fish.

"Click......

Chen Zhuo's eyes changed secretly, this time he thought that there were masters in the temple to suppress the formation, and nine times out of ten he had already noticed his existence.

But instead of retreating, he pushed the door open and entered.

The snow outside the door was drifting, and a cluster of inch-long lamps inside the door swayed and flickered at the feet of the statue, trembling slightly.

On the side of the green lantern, there is a nun sitting on a futon, wearing monk's robes and a monk's hat, plucking a rosary in one hand and knocking on a wooden fish with the other, closing her eyes and neck, and reciting scriptures in her mouth.

Chen Zhuo glanced at the lacquer-colored statue of the god, and then looked at the nun meditating and chanting under the lamp, and asked in a deep voice, "The master is waiting for me?" ”

The sound of the wooden fish stopped.

The man opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows, but it was a very young and dusty face, his eyebrows and eyes were pale like paintings, his skin and flesh were cold and white, and he seemed to not have a trace of human fireworks.

"Little Ni Lianhua, if the donor is here for the treasure, then I am waiting for you."

As he spoke, he suddenly saw a small stream of wind and frost involved outside the door, and the startled lights kept shaking, but he didn't want this little nun's next action to make Chen Zhuo's eyes tremble.

This person's two slender palms probed silently, and he had held the lantern flower in vain, and his slender ten fingers surrounded the lantern flower like a pluck, soft like a willow, as if blocking the cold wind in all directions.

What is even more amazing is that the light gradually stabilized, neither because of the wind nor because of the nun's handwork, it was steady.

Chen Zhuo's face was expressionless, but his hands in his sleeves had slowly spit out, hanging beside him, and he was already calculating the strength of this person in his heart; With only one hand to intercept the wind, this person has to be a grandmaster who has a lot of energy throughout his body, to say the least.

Judging by its appearance, it is only a double ten, but the people in Buddhism make Taoist kung fu, which is so strange...... Could it be that he is a mysterious old monster who hides in the mountains and forests?

He slowly closed the door.

"Please don't kill the donor, Xiao Ni can have today's ability, all because of coincidence, in the mountains unintentionally picked up two Taoist kung fu from the Yuan and Ming, and therefore knew the treasure in the palace, so he waited for a long time."

The little nun stood up, her speech was gentle, and her eyes were calm.

Chen Zhuo didn't have much change on his face when he heard this, but he was secretly shocked in his heart, he picked up this cheat book and practiced such an extraordinary climate, what kind of understanding is this?

Lianhua said to herself: "Many years ago, it rained heavily for half a moon in the mountains, and a lot of deeply buried antiquities were washed out, most of which were left over from the former Ming and Yuan dynasties, and I also inadvertently found the location of the treasure. ”

Her face was calm, and she sighed lightly, "That treasure is amazing, if it spreads, I am afraid of causing a catastrophe, this Buddhist treasure temple will inevitably turn into a Shura field, and the nearby villagers, the nuns here, will also be implicated...... Therefore, Xiao Ni has been staying here, waiting for his master. ”

Lianhua looked at Chen Zhuo, "I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" ”

Chen Zhuo's eyes were slightly condensed, but he felt that there seemed to be a hidden murderous intent on the other party's body, "Under Chen Zhuo!" ”

Lianhua's calm eyes seemed to light up, "Is there a certificate?" ”

Chen Zhuo's eyes narrowed sharply, the killing thought fell from the sky, and the intention of killing nothing had fallen on the person in front of him, and the surrounding window paper immediately trembled, the lights shrank, and the lights dimmed rapidly, even the Buddha statue seemed to be covered with a shadow, as if hiding.

But it was only for a moment, and he took the opportunity to kill.

"Sure enough, he is the number one assassin in the world!"

The little nun stood up and solemnly saluted, "It turned out that the leader of the 'Shenzhou League' was in front of him, and Shenzhou gathered righteousness and became a masterpiece of the world; ”

She rolled up her sleeves, lifted the green lamp on the ground, went around to the side of the boulder, stretched out her hand and turned an inconspicuous round stone, and immediately saw that the blue bricks on the ground were slowly lifted, and an iron plate was uncovered, revealing a dark passage that slanted downward, dark like an abyss, revealing bursts of coldness.

Chen Zhuo was a little curious, "Hasn't anyone come here all these years?" ”

Lianhua was silent for a moment, and sighed faintly, "How could it not be, since the news of the antiquities rushed out of the mountains spread back then, it has attracted a lot of treasure hunters, some of them are not right, and there are people from the rivers and lakes who sneaked into the temple and those villagers' homes, harming people's lives, and using all means...... Xiao Ni was helpless, so he secretly killed them all! ”

She looked at Chen Zhuo again, "When giving porridge today, Xiao Ni was shocked to find a sharp edge from the temple in a flash, and he knew that a master was here, and he was ready for a vicious fight. ”

Chen Zhuo praised: "Master Gao Yi...... It seems that there is no shortage of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the land of China! ”

Lianhua smiled slightly, and walked to the entrance of the dark passage with the lamp, "I have never gone deep into this entrance, whether there is really a treasure underneath, Xiao Ni is not sure, but I have searched the temple dozens of times over the years, and only found this entrance, which may be dangerous, so let Xiao Ni go with the alliance leader!" ”

Without waiting for a reaction, Lianhua had already burrowed into the dark passage.

"Then it's hard work!"

Seeing the lights sinking, Chen Zhuo shrank vertically, and also flashed into the dark passage, and the buckled iron plate slowly closed with the rotation of the mechanism inside, tightly sealed.
