In the East China Sea City in the eastern Xinjiang of China, there is an osmanthus mountain, all over the mountains, all are wild osmanthus trees, the osmanthus blooms, the fragrance floats for a hundred miles, on this mountain, there is a "Qingliang Temple", in the heyday, the incense is vigorous, the pilgrims are endless, suddenly one day, the old abbot was poisoned and killed, hundreds of monks in the temple, all disappeared, the empty "Qingliang Temple" was occupied by a group of jugglers. The principal's name is Chang Qing, and recently, he has been in trouble.

When the juggling troupe performed the top cylinder at the home of Gui Pinghua, a famous member of Hao Hao in Donghai City, they accidentally smashed the cylinder, and the cylinder fell over, breaking a large stone in the courtyard.

Originally, I thought it was just an ordinary stone slab, but who knew that the owner Gui Pinghua had to say that it was a peace stone, not an ordinary stone slab.

Changqing had no choice but to let his master's house slaughter. Gui Pinghua looked at the broken business of the entire juggling class, and was afraid that he would not be able to squeeze anything valuable, so he touched his goatee and asked Chang Qing to write an IOU, which read: Chang Qing owes him a life, and he will pay it back when he needs it.

For the sake of the juggling class, Chang Qing had to agree. After returning to the "Qingliang Temple", the people in the juggling class, one by one, were listless. Just a stone slab, it will cost human life to compensate, and everyone is upset for Evergreen.

At that time, the emperor and grandson came to the world, and the whole world celebrated, and the emperor Tongqing (doppelganger) issued a holy decree with great interest, telling the whole country: the imperial court granted amnesty to the world.

The yamen of Donghai City also released more than a dozen prisoners, among these prisoners, there is a name named Ma Tianyu, this person, who used to be in Donghai City, but is a well-known snake catcher, just because he used snake gall bladder to poison the old abbot of Qingliang Temple, Master Faming, and was sentenced to life imprisonment according to the law.

Ma Tianyu was very lucky to get amnesty, after he got out of prison, he had nowhere to go, and before he knew it, he walked to Osmanthus Mountain. Only then did he realize that now, the "Qingliang Temple" where the wind and rain are living has been occupied by a group of people.

The juggling class gathered in the open space of the ancient temple for training, slashing, slashing, smashing nails, and swallowing swords.

So, Ma Tianyu was in the dark, watching them.

Chang Qing also noticed that there was suddenly a shadow in the temple, and he was about to ask Ma Tianyu to come out.

Suddenly, Ma Tianyu threw a stone, only to hear a "sizzle", the roof of the ancient temple, startled a vermilion bird, and then, a rope-like object fell down, slippery.

The class leader Chang Qing was startled, and when he looked over, it turned out to be a huge poisonous golden ring snake, and that *** had been hit by a small stone to a distance of seven inches, and he was killed.

"This good man, he is so agile, a pebble, full of crosshairs, I admire him!" Chang Qing clenched his fists and said.

Ma Tianyu is short, wearing a prison uniform modified clothes, which looks a little nondescript, but a pair of small eyes, revealing a cold wisdom. He patted the dust on his hands and said, "Accept it, in an emergency, if you disturb you, please forgive me." ”

Ma Tianyu walked over, pinching the snake's muscles and bones, salivating water. He borrowed a pot from Chang Qing, and in the temple, he set up a shelf, divided it by two, and simply peeled off the snake skin, removed the snake tendons, and at the bottom of the pot, there was only a pot of snake meat left, so tempting. In the end, Ma Tianyu used a thin line to thread the snake gall and hang it under the eaves of the ancient temple.

Chang Qing saw that Ma Tianyu's snake killing kung fu was really good, so he pointed at the shaking snake gall and said, "Friend, this is a good thing!"

"Alas!" Ma Tianyu said with great annoyance: "But because I was wronged, I was imprisoned for ten years. ”

Hearing this, Chang Qing suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Your Excellency is the rumored snake catcher Ma Tianyu?"

Ma Tianyu smiled bitterly, nodded, and said: "It's exactly here, it's useless, don't mention it!"

Even if he dealt with Changqing, Ma Tianyu also temporarily lived in the "Qingliang Temple", the two well water did not interfere with the river water, but they were fine, but Changqing's juggling class came back from outside, and they would always make one or two more soju, and what was waiting for them was Ma Tianyu's pot of delicious snake soup.

Chang Qing is a gentle person by nature and rarely thinks of people in bad terms. However, every day at midnight, Ma Tianyu will always wander around the "Qingliang Temple" like a ghost, as if he is looking for something?

That night, Chang Qing deliberately walked out from behind the pillar and coughed.

Ma Tianyu's hand to pry the brick had to stop, he said: "I can't sleep, I came out to move my muscles and bones, so that the regular class master couldn't sleep peacefully, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry!"

"Can you tell us more about it?" asked Chang Qing with a straight face.

Ma Tianyu smiled bitterly and said, "I won't hide it from you, in fact, I'm looking for the Earth Dragon!"

Earth dragon is the term for snake catchers in the East China Sea, which is an honorific title for pythons.

Ma Tianyu explained: "Ten years ago, Master Faming, the old abbot of Qingliang Temple, before he died, once said to Zai Xia that in the basement of this Qingliang Temple, he raised a dragon, which is the treasure of the town temple of Qingliang Temple. ”

After Chang Qing heard this, he was a little foggy.

Ma Tianyu patted Chang Qing's back and said, "Master Chang, go back and rest, it's almost dawn." ”

The next day, at three o'clock in the sun, Chang Qing got up sleepily. Unexpectedly, Guilin, the housekeeper of Gui Mansion, was waiting for him outside the "Qingliang Temple".

As soon as he saw Chang Qing, the housekeeper Guilin ordered: "Master Chang, my family members invite you to come over." ”

Chang Qing vaguely felt that something was going to happen.

When he arrived at Guifu, Chang Qing learned that Gui Bao, the son of Guifu, went to the suburbs and met a beautiful lady, so he had a bad idea, and he forced the little girl into an abandoned dry house, wanting to do bad things. Fortunately, the maid ran and called a group of people over, Gui Gongzi panicked, and actually fell into an urn buried in the ground, two legs, gnawed by the rats in the urn, although the person was rescued, but he was hot, full of nonsense.

Gui Pinghua invited a local famous doctor to come over to see his son, and after the famous doctor diagnosed, he shook his head and sighed and said: "Master Gui, the son of your mansion, is already terminally ill, and the poisonous saliva on the rat teeth is wandering in his body. ”

After Gui Pinghua heard this, he hurriedly distributed a reward notice and found Chang Qing, who owed him his life.

After Chang Qing returned to the "Qingliang Temple", he told the matter of the python blood flower, but no one knew.

At this time, Chang Qing suddenly thought of Ma Tianyu. Ma Tianyu has dealt with the earth dragon, perhaps, he will know, what is the python blood flower? Chang Qing found Ma Tianyu, explained his intentions, and told him about the life he owed to Gui Yuanwai.

When Ma Tianyu heard this, he said, "Why is it the one surnamed Gui again?"

It turns out that Ma Tianyu and Gui Pinghua are old acquaintances.

More than 10 years ago, Gui Ping Huayuan, originally just a weak body, he heard that the "Qingliang Temple", there is a set of physical strength, so he often went to the "Qingliang Temple" to ask the old abbot Master Fa Ming for advice.

One day, Gui Pinghua was in the practice room, I don't know if his feet were too strong, or the floor was already fragile, as soon as his feet were forced, the floor actually collapsed, and he fell into a basement with the sunken floor.

I saw that in the basement, there were several wooden boxes, among them, one box was slightly opened, and faintly, there was a jewel.

Gui Pinghua was thinking about unveiling the box to see what was going on, but he didn't expect that the old abbot of the "Qingliang Temple", Master Faming, had already heard the sound and moved. Seeing Gui Pinghua breaking into the forbidden land, Master Faming couldn't say anything, so at that time, he invited Gui Pinghua out of the basement.

After that, Master Faming did not fortify Gui Pinghua. Gui Pinghua is also a person who can hide secrets, he only called the snake catcher Ma Tianyu and ordered two snake gall bladders from him, ready to give them to the old abbot of the "Qingliang Temple" - Master Faming.

As everyone knows, Gui Pinghua still has a snake gall hidden in private.

Before the incident, this snake gall was soaked in poison by Gui Pinghua and mentioned "Qingliang Temple".

Ma Tianyu was entrusted by Gui Pinghua to come to the "Qingliang Temple" to send snake gallbladder, because the snake gallbladder is clear and clear-eyed, and people who practice martial arts often take it, Ma Tianyu did not expect to die.

Gui Pinghua took two snake gall bladders in front of Ma Tianyu and personally presented them to Master Fa Ming, the old abbot of "Qingliang Temple".

Master Faming, the old abbot of "Qingliang Temple", was poisoned, and Ma Tianyu was speechless. After Ma Tianyu was detained, Gui Pinghua said that in the basement, he saw weapons piled up in the corners. Gui Pinghua had someone in the court, so he fulfilled his wish, reported the "Qingliang Temple" for private weapons, and arrested the monks in the "Qingliang Temple" for the crime of rebellion.

As for those boxes of treasures, before the arrival of the officers and soldiers, they had already entered Gui Pinghua's private pockets. The origin of these treasures and weapons has long become a huge mystery with the death of Master Faming, the old abbot of "Qingliang Temple".

Because of this connection, Ma Tianyu did not agree to help Changqing.

Chang Qing didn't have any choice, he had to be treated with good wine and meat every day, and Ma Tianyu also drank and ate meat, but he didn't mean to take Chang Qing to find Python Blood Flower. It's just that for a few nights, Ma Tianyu seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and it wasn't until Mao Shi that he returned to the "Qingliang Temple", I don't know where he went these nights?

Chang Qing knew that the lives of the people in the Gui Mansion were at stake, and time was pressing. Gui Bao Gongzi, although he is said to be a gentleman, has done a lot of evil, but saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, besides, Chang Qing still owes Gui Mansion a life note.

On this day, Chang Qing put a jar of good wine on the table and poured a bowl for Ma Tianyu.

Smelling the aroma of wine, Ma Tianyu was embarrassed, he drank the bowl of wine, and said: "There is a wrong, and there is a debtor." These days, I have to be treated with wine and hospitality by the master of the class, and I really don't want to go, tonight, it happens to be a full moon, so let's go and go for it. ”

Ma Tianyu said "take a walk", which is to take Changqing to find the python blood flower.

Chang Qing quickly cheered up and followed behind Ma Tianyu's body.

On the Tengyun Ridge of Osmanthus Mountain, the strange rocks are craggy, the cliffs are steep, and the people are inaccessible, and it has become a place where wild beasts, snakes and insects gather and haunt.

Ma Tianyu and Chang Qing nested on an osmanthus tree hanging on the bank.

The moonlight poured down like a waterfall, and the whole Tengyun Ridge was as bright as day, and the sound of insects, owls, and boars arching over the earth gradually came.

Chang Qing asked Ma Tianyu: "Brother Ma, what are we waiting for?"

Ma Tianyu whispered: "Master Chang, stop quiet, this place, I have already stepped on it before, wait a little longer." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the head of a python to stick out from the crack in the stubborn rock on the edge of the cliff, and after a while, the huge python body moved to the rock, this python seemed to be waiting for something?

At this time, the moon turned to the west, and only the sound of turf being turned was heard, and it came from west to east towards the edge of the cliff, and it was also a huge python. The python crawled not fast, and the python on the rock circled itself in a circle, and lowered the python's head charmingly. When they came to the edge of the rock, the python on the rock bit the red flower on the python's mouth, and the two pythons seemed to be playing.

At this moment, Ma Tianyu suddenly made a move. Only Bei he took out a pottery Xun hidden in his arms, blew up, when the sound of Xun spread from the osmanthus tree, there was a python listening to it as if drunk, another python quickly collided with it, knocked the python listening to Xun away from the phantom sound, the red flower, also fell on the top of the rock.

After the two pythons disappeared, Ma Tianyu stopped his voice. This Xun sound is Ma Tianyu's trump card when catching snakes, and snakes with poor concentration will be confused by this Xun sound, and they will be easily captured by snake hunters.

Ma Tianyu and Chang Qing jumped on the rock and picked up the red flower, Chang Qing said in surprise: "Brother Ma, could this be the python blood flower?"

Ma Tianyu nodded, he took Chang Qing to follow the path of the giant python just now, searched the past, and finally found an identical red flower by a spring.

It turned out that Ma Tianyu learned from experience that the male python under the moon would go to find a python blood flower and bite to tease the female python.

Python blood flowers, usually from the belly of the dead python root and grow, until flowering, the flower has a unique smell, will be found by pythons, become pythons under the moon courtship flowers, generation reincarnation, from death to life.

Retrieving the python blood flower, Chang Qing handed it over to Gui Ping Hua, and after Gui Bao Gongzi took it, he really died and came back to life.

According to the agreement, Guiping Chinese diplomacy returned the IOU of human life, and the juggling class owner Chang Qing was relieved.

It didn't take long for Ma Tianyu to suddenly say goodbye and disappear from the "Qingliang Temple".

At the same time, Chang Qing, the owner of the juggling class, was shocked to hear a shocking news, Gui Ping Hua, actually died, the cause of death was that he was suffocated by a big python after being wrapped around his neck, and all the treasures in Gui Mansion, I don't know who was, on the night of Gui Pinghua's death, was looted, and what is even more bizarre is that the people in Gui Mansion, overnight, all became demented, crying and screaming, crazy.

Where is Ma Tianyu?

It turned out that Ma Tianyu was hidden under the ground of Guifu, he tamed two big pythons, for his use, he let a big python kill Gui Pinghua, and another big python helped him loot all the treasures of Guifu, distributed to the poor people, and then all the people in Guifu became idiots, and the revenge was avenged.

Jehovah God observed Ma Tianyu for a long time and instructed Tong Qing that he could be recruited as a member of the Bloody Eagle Action Group to protect the earth and rise to the forefront.

After Tong Qingsan tried Ma Tianyu, he revealed his identity, Ma Tianyu cried with joy, and happily joined the action group of the Bloody Flying Eagle and became a glorious warrior to defend the earth.
