Chapter 38 The Seven Great Talents in the World

Three years ago, Qin Beiyang and his father lived in Luotuo Village in western Jing. The father and son often walked all day to Yunju Temple in Fangshan. The monk here was quite eye-catching and valued the skills of Qin Customs. He asked him to repair the temples and Buddha statues. Buddhism was declining, and the expenses in the temple were too short, and the rewards were small. Most of them were a bag of millet, which was enough for the stonemasons and sons to make a living. They also often climbed the Stone Sutra Mountain and worked in caves with the Sui and Tang slab 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 wild beasts.

He found that several men were talking at the entrance of the Leiyin Cave under the cliff. In addition to the famous detective Ye Kenan, there was also a Beiyang Admiral with three Venus stars, who must be the legendary "Xiao Xu".

As for the man with scars on his face... Assassin Ah Hai, this is exactly this face!

Qin Beiyang almost flew down from the top of the mountain and pulled out the Tang sword and cut off his head. But when he saw Xiao Xu walking into the cave with his bodyguard, he suppressed his anger and turned into the gap between the rocks.

It turned out to be a secret path with a unique cave, which runs directly above the Leiyin Cave. There is a crack below the secret path, and the scene in the cave is clearly visible. Next to the Leiyin Cave is a cave called the Golden Immortal Cave. The ceilings of the two caves are connected via a secret path. Through this secret path, you can monitor the Golden Immortal Cave and the Leiyin Cave at the same time.

Back then, Qin Beiyang carved stone scriptures with his father and accidentally discovered the secret path. Old Qin judged that this was an old monk from the Tang Dynasty. In order to supervise the practice of young monks, he dug the secret path above the two caves.

Fangshan Stone was carved by Jingwan, a great monk of the Sui Dynasty, and passed away in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty. Since then, monks of all dynasties have engraved sutras, with at least nine caves, with a total of more than 14,000 stone slabs. There are Buddha statues in the center of Leiyin Cave and four stone pillars carved with Buddha statues. It is said to be the oldest existing Buddhist temple in China.

Xiao Xu and three bodyguards were in the cave. Assassin Ahai smiled and said, "Please sit slightly wider, my master will arrive later."

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

"My master goes to heaven and earth, and he can do everything."

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

Qin Beiyang, who was hiding on the secret path at the top of Leiyin Cave, heard the sound of speaking from the Golden Immortal Cave next door.

All sounds were uploaded, and the Leiyin Cave and the Golden Immortal Cave were completely sound-free. But in the secret path above the two caves, they could be heard very clearly.

Just like a thief climbing up the roof, there are two bedrooms under the same roof. Sometimes they eavesdrop on the whispers of the master and his wife, sometimes they peek at the spring night between the master and his grandmother.

Several headlights were hung in the Golden Immortal Cave to illuminate a wide mirror. Qin Beiyang was particularly surprised that Professor Wang Jiawei's face was reflected in the mirror.

Sitting next to the professor was Cai Yuanpei, the president of Peking University. Naturally, the editor-in-chief of "New Youth" and the director of Peking University's liberal arts science. The fourth was Qian Xuantong, a professor of Chinese.

Why did Wang Jiawei, Cai Yuanpei, Chen Zhongfu, and Qian Xuantong come to the Golden Immortal Cave in Shijing Mountain, Yunju Temple?

The four professors did not know that the famous Beiyang warlord "Xiao Xu" was waiting to meet the assassin's master in Leiyin Cave next door.

There are four men in long gowns in the Golden Immortal Cave, thirty-seven or eight years old, shaved inch and two beards on their lips; the second one is wearing a melon-shaped hat, with a thick braid behind their heads, and a dress of a man of Qing Dynasty, with a deep contour, a high nose bridge, and a curly beard; the third one is the youngest in the cave, but only 27 or 28 years old, with a gentle and handsome face, wearing a dress, and like returning from Europe and the United States.

Fourth, Qin Beiyang knew this face in his fifties, with a black beard on his face and his eyes were like falcons. Nine years ago, in the Tianjin De Concession, this man stabbed Qin Beiyang's adoptive father to death from behind.

Old assassin.

The last time Qin Beiyang saw this face was in the sea of ​​clouds in the "Royal Kingdom", and he was known as "Dad".

This man was wearing a plain robe and a square scarf. He actually had the style of a Taoist bone fairy style. He clasped his fists and said, "All the celebrities in the capital, thank you for the Shijingshan of Guanguang Yunju Temple. I followed the instructions of my master, and it was also the rule passed down from the Qianlong period. Every 60 years, it will show you a look to the most learned people in the world."

The Four Treasures of Cloud Residence?

Qin Beiyang thought to himself that he heard the lay Buddhists talk about the four treasures of "The Four Treasures of Yunju Temple" that were treasured for generations in Yunju Temple. He was nominated by Emperor Qianlong's imperial pen and kept secretly. Every sixty years, only the top seven talented men in the world are destined to be seen.

The assassin "Dad" lured seven of China's top scholars in the name of displaying the "Four Treasures of Yunju". In the Lei Yin Cave next door, there is also a scar-faced assassin Ah Hai, who lured General Xiao Xu... It must be a carefully planned conspiracy.

The youngest man in suit in Jinxian Cave spoke: "I was born in Hu Shizhi at night and was just starting out. He was able to be among the seven major scholars. I feel ashamed! What are the four treasures in Yunju? There are many different opinions, but they are the treasures that scholars all over the world dream of."

"Shizhi, it is not so much that scholars in the world want to see the true appearance of the four treasures of Yunju, but rather that they want to be among the seven talents!"

The man who was talking was shaved and had two beards. The young Hu Shizhi lowered his head and said, "Mr. Zhou, what you said makes sense! You have received teaching after a young man."

"Some people also say that the Four Treasures of Yunju is a scam! Emperor Qianlong just wanted to mock the literati in the world. I want to see if there are the Four Treasures of Yunju, can we read another four thousand years of cannibalism history?"

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

"This is the first treasure of the four treasures of Yunju: the handwritten "The Heart Sutra of Prajna Paramita" by Princess Jinxian of the Tang Dynasty."

The old assassin unfolds a hard yellow paper scroll, evenly coats wax on the paper, with a crystal luster, and is full of small flies' calligraphy

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva practiced the deep Prajna Paramita and saw that the five aggregates were empty and all sufferings were all suffering. The color of the Saritan is neither different than the color of the empty nor the color of the color, which is empty, that is, form, feeling, thinking, action and consciousness, and so on..."

The main text is only 260 words, and it contains six hundred volumes of the essence of the Great Prajna Sutra. The calligraphy on Tang paper is elegant and has both form and spirit, and must be written by a woman with a firm will.

The signature contains the seal seal of Princess Jinxian. Professor Wang Jiawei carefully checked it. Regardless of the material of the paper and the characteristics of the calligraphy, they are all real objects in the Tang Dynasty and are by no means fakes.

"The Heart Sutra has a profound meaning, a guide to becoming a Buddha, and a magic weapon to benefit sentient beings." The oldest old man in the cave, with a braid, spoke, "This Golden Immortal Cave is said to be excavated to worship the Golden Immortal Princess of the Tang Dynasty."

"The Golden Immortal Princess is the daughter of Emperor Ruizong of Tang, the granddaughter of Emperor Ruizong of Tang, the sister of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji. She could not bear the darkness of the palace. The princess became a monk at the age of 18 and became a female Taoist priest. She practiced and became an immortal in the Golden Immortal Temple in Zhongnan Mountain, and rode a crane to heaven."

"The princess respected Buddhism and asked her brother Xuanzong of Tang to send more than 4,000 new and old scriptures to Yunju Temple, Fangshan, far away in Fanyang, Youzhou, to promote the excavation of the Shijingshan Cave, so that the Golden Immortal Princess Pagoda on the top of the mountain was also provided. This Golden Immortal Cave was fortunate to see one of the four treasures of Yunju in this life, and Gu Hongming died without regrets."

Qin Beiyang trembled slightly. It turned out that the old man with braids was the famous Gu Hongming!

The assassin "Dad" saw that everyone was attracted by the first treasure, and smiled and took out the second treasure.

"The statue of Li Longqi, the prince of Zhongnan County, painted by Wu Daozi of the Tang Dynasty."

Prince Zhongnan, Li Longqi, heard these seven words, Qin Beiyang was shocked again, and Jiuse all looked at him.

Seven scholars held their breath and watched the old assassin carefully unfold the scroll. It was also the yellow wax paper of the Tang Dynasty, which prevented moths and moisture, and was preserved for thousands of years without breaking.

A complete portrait was revealed on the wooden table. The young man wearing Tang Dynasty costumes was like lightning hitting Qin Beiyang's eyes.

Li Longqi's face.

In an instant, the cave on Shijing Mountain seemed to have become the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty tomb of Bailuyuan.

Just like the figure in the tomb mural, Li Longqi, a thirteen-four-year-old prince and Prince Zhongnan, has a pair of big and bright eyes, a middle and high nose bridge, thick lips, and a clear face. He has not worn a crown, and has a bun on his head, and only a hairpin is inserted. He does not wear a costume of a noble man in the Tang Dynasty, but only wears a loose white robe, just like a child of a woodcutter's family in the mountains. After 1,200 years, Li Longqi's skin has bright and dazzling colors, and his eyes are fresh and refreshing, and he is about to come out.

Qin Beiyang actually had an illusion, as if the little prince in the portrait blinked at him, and at the same time sent a message to the secret...

This original work of Wu Daozi is indeed the real body of Li Longqi, the prince of Zhongnan County. Because the nine colors were 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 comfort and not to disturb the people in the cave.

Qin Beiyang saw his face.

When he was a teenager, he lived in the underground palace of Emperor Guangxu Chongling. He occasionally looked in the mirror and saw this face.

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

The Hotan Nuan Blood Jade Pendant on his chest became hot again.

On the Tang Dynasty portrait, there was also a jade pendant hanging on the chest, but the surface was not blood-colored, but the solid color of white mutton fat, but the shape and size were exactly the same.

This is a gift from Jiuse to Qin Beiyang. 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 green blood on the surface of the warm jade, it was only produced after the little prince's death.

The seven talents were all amazed. Gu Hongming covered his mouth to avoid spitting on the scroll: "I have seen Wu Daozi's original work with my own eyes, and I have the honor of three lives!"

"The Prince of Zhongnan, Li Longqi, in this portrait, is also the son of Li Dan of Emperor Ruizong. He died young and was buried in Bailuyuan after his death. The death of this little prince had a story that shocked the world and was sowed by ghosts and gods, but unfortunately it was not passed down in later generations." Qian Xuantong, who is proficient in the sound of the Tang Dynasty, added in a Huzhou accent, "The first treasure of the four treasures of Yunju is the handwritten "Heart Sutra" by Princess Jinxian, and the second treasure is the hand-painted portrait of Prince of Zhongnan by Wu Daozi. Princess Jinxian and Li Longqi are both children of Emperor Ruizong Li Dan, grandchildren of Wu Zetian, and half-sister and brother of Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji. Tang Xuanzong Li Longji is their elder brother."

Qin Beiyang then understood why Jiuse knelt in front of the Golden Immortal Princess Tower, and only because the tower was dedicated to the sister of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty.
