Daxiangguo Temple is a famous temple in Kaifeng. The various buildings in the temple are rigorously laid out and majestic.
This temple was first built in the sixth year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty. According to legend, it was the former residence of Lord Xinling, the Duke of Wei in the Warring States Period. On weekdays, the temple is popular with incense and there is an endless stream of pilgrims visiting it.
The contemporary presiding abbot is Master Ci Guang, a famous figure in the world and a generation of masters, the "Long Eyebrow Buddha".
He has practiced the "Prajna Finger", a secret skill of the Daxiangguo Temple, to a state of perfection. He once used a single finger to kill Situ Shang, the eighth elder of the Demon Sect, the "Sword Demon", and his reputation shocked the martial arts world.
Nowadays, Master Ciguang is over eighty years old. He has been retreating in Guangze Cave in the back mountain all year round to study Buddhism.
Night falls.
The two novice novices took the vegetarian food from the dining hall and walked to Guangze Cave, talking quietly on the way:
"The host has a very good appetite recently, and both of them ate all their portions..."
"That's right, the shredded bamboo shoots made by Master Guangyuan are so hard that you can't chew them. The host actually ate them all, leaving nothing left... Do you think the host has achieved a magical feat and has rejuvenated his youth? Otherwise, how could he swallow it? It's strange..."
"Isn't this strange? I heard that if you practice the "Marrow Cleansing Sutra" of Shaolin Temple to the highest level, you can regenerate people and make up for the defects. Then the blind eyes can be restored and the lost teeth can be regained. Maybe the "Realistic Prajna Sutra" of our Daxiangguo Temple can also
Yes, they are all from the lineage of Patriarch Bodhidharma anyway."
"Yeah, that makes sense!"
The two young novice monks entered the cave with trays and soon came out with empty plates and bowls. They did not notice a blue shadow flashing behind them.
Cao Jinxing ducked into Guangze Cave.
Guangze Cave is a retreat place for eminent monks of the Daxiangguo Temple. It is not very winding. After entering the cave, you turn two turns and reach the deepest point.
Master Metta is having a fast meal with a young man.
Master Metta has a white beard and white eyebrows, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. He holds an alms bowl and sits on a futon to slowly drink porridge.
The young man next to him was in his twenties. His appearance and temperament revealed the air of an official, but his clothes were really shabby. His hair was disheveled like a beggar's, stained with some dirt, and his whole face was numb, giving people a feeling of defeat.
Master Metta sighed softly and gave him some dried radish. The young man ate mechanically, putting everything into his mouth.
The dried radish was crisp and the bamboo shoots were very hard. He chewed hard, with a cold expression and unfocused eyes, like a walking zombie...
Master Metta shook his head.
Buddhism treats food as medicine, avoid eating too much, and don't pay attention to taste. The dishes are very bland and tasteless, and generally people with strong tastes are not used to it.
Li Jinsheng was originally well-dressed and well-fed, but he did not expect that he would encounter a drastic change and would need to hide in a cave to eat fast. This was unimaginable before.
"eat more……"
Master Ciguang took two more dishes and suddenly felt something was wrong and became wary. He looked up and saw a figure in green clothes leaning against the cave wall with his hands folded and looking at them, wearing a ferocious square mask on his face.
Fang Xiang, the god who opened the way for funerals in ancient times!
This person suddenly appeared and dressed like this. Master Ci Guang was secretly shocked. With his skill and realm, he did not notice this person and let him enter Guangze Cave. This was simply unbelievable. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover Li Jinsheng behind him.
The inner energy surges and surges to the fingertips!
"Master, don't worry."
Cao Jinxing casually took off the token from his waist and threw it over: "The Jinyi Guards of Fusi in Xiabei Town were ordered to pick up Mr. Li...his letter should be sent by the master."
Li Jinsheng suddenly raised his head, and his numb face finally changed.
Master Metta took the token, looked at it carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief. No one dared to use this kind of token...
He handed the token back, clasped his hands and asked, "May I ask the name of this donor..."
"Beizhen Fusi Qianhu."
Cao Jinxing did not answer directly, but looked at Li Jinsheng and said: "The court has agreed to your request, but I want to know the whole story first... As for the treasure, you can wait until it is safe."
"..."
Li Jinsheng was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Nowadays, surrounded by tigers and wolves, life and death are in the hands of others. Li Jinsheng knows very well that he has no room for bargaining.
Upon seeing this, Master Metta picked up the tin staff from the wall and stood up slowly. The copper ring on the staff made a crisp sound.
"Grandmaster……"
Li Jinsheng reached out to hold him, glanced at Cao Jinxing, and felt a little worried.
Master Ciguang patted his hand kindly and said: "Don't worry, this donor is a kind person and will not harm you... The old monk is chanting sutras and meditating outside the cave." After saying that, he walked towards the entrance of the cave step by step, passing by Cao Jinxing.
He put his hands together at the waist and saluted. Cao Jin returned the salute naturally, and the two of them passed by each other.
"..."
Li Jinsheng was puzzled at first, but then realized that the master had guessed the identity of this person.
Ci Guang did guess it...Cao Jinxing didn't intend to hide it from him, otherwise it would be like the eighth level of the Netherworld and the evil sect of the devil.
——Ci Guang has been famous for many years. Although he has not become a Dharma image, he has been immersed in Tongyou Peak for decades. There are only a handful of people in the entire Beizhen Fusi who can approach him quietly! There are even more qualified people to participate in this matter.
There are no more than three people, and among these three people, the first eunuch is in the capital, and the second eunuch is in Kaifeng. Apart from that, there is only one person left, and he is the only one who possesses this miraculous breath-containing technique!
——The Thirteenth Taibao, Cao Jinxing.
Cao Jinxing's reputation is too great.
Although Master Metta is not interested in worldly affairs, the pilgrims who come and go as well as the young novices are all interested in those legends and stories. When they explain to each other, they are vivid and vivid. In addition, Metta's profound skills and keen five senses, many things come to him by themselves.
Over time, I have gained a certain understanding of Cao Jinxing.
Knowing his righteous deeds in Taizhou, knowing that he has done many great things... The most important thing is that he knows that as long as he is not provoked, Cao Jinxing will never do anything clever and plundering. No matter what kind of mission he performs, he will always treat the common people with the utmost care.
He has no crime and never bullies others. This is completely different from ordinary eunuchs and hawks.
Since he is here, at least Li Jinsheng's life will not be in danger.
Master Ciguang walked out of the cave, sat at the entrance of the cave, and concentrated on chanting sutras.
"Say it."
Cao Jin walked to the table and sat down cross-legged, and said through a message: "The relationship between the King of Qin Bone Mirror and your family, its special function, and the murderer's purpose of looking for it... Come one by one, I'm not in a hurry.
"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "..."
Under the eaves, Li Jinsheng closed his eyes, meditated for a while, took a deep breath, and began to tell the secret: "[The King of Qin's Bone Mirror] was originally a treasure among doctors and could be used to examine the inside of the body.
Patient, after Qin Shihuang unified China, he collected this treasure into the treasury and became one of the 'Eight Mirrors of the King of Qin' until the construction of the Qin Mausoleum was completed..."
Li Jinsheng is a descendant of Li Si. These secrets passed down by the Li family from generation to generation are unlikely to be fabricated. Cao Jinxing listened very carefully.
Soon, Li Jinsheng got to the point.
"In order to leave a way for future generations to survive, the First Emperor ordered people to use the leftover materials from He's jade to make the national jade seal, and made nine pendants to open the Qin Mausoleum and avoid disaster...because these nine jade pendants are all
The dragon shape, so it is also called [Nine Dragon Pendants], was distributed to his nine most favored sons, the young master Fusu, the young master Jianglu, the young master Gao, the young master Hu Hai..."
Cao Jinxing already knows this.
But Li Jinsheng's subsequent words surprised him: "But to be able to come and go freely in the Qin Mausoleum with so many mechanisms, a 'key' is not enough. You also need a mechanism map that is familiar with the various mechanisms in the tomb! Otherwise, it will be easy to
Entering is tantamount to seeking death!"
Machine diagram...
Cao Jinxing suddenly thought of the wordless heavenly book that Zhang Sanfeng gave to Qin Xuanji!
No way……
Li Jinsheng continued: "This map is of great importance. We must not let it wander around the world, otherwise the Qin Mausoleum will be built in vain... But we cannot let future generations resist the mechanisms in the tomb. It must be handled carefully. For this reason, the First Emperor spent three years.
Years later, he took the skin of the strange beast [Lilong] and made a picture. This picture has no words on the surface, but it actually hides a mystery. Only with the combination of [Qin Wang Bone Mirror] can the writing on the picture be seen! The reason for this is unknown to the outside world.
, even if it is possible to obtain the drawings, there is no way to see the situation in the tomb without a bone mirror...
Therefore, the importance of the map, [King of Qin's Bone Mirror] has increased, and it must be handled properly. After careful consideration, the First Emperor left the map in the royal family and entrusted this treasure to his ancestor Li Si... There are three reasons. First, Li Si's daughter is Fusu
His wife, the two had a son-in-law relationship, and Fusu succeeded to the throne. Li Si had no reason to betray him. Secondly, Li Si's lifelong wish was to be a "big rat". Da Qin was his granary. As long as the granary did not collapse, Li Si would always be that person.
The fattest rat, with no ambition to rebel, was the most trusted foreign minister of the royal family. Third, Li Si was the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. He helped the First Emperor destroy the six kingdoms and unify the world. He worked hard and made great achievements. He was a loyal minister and good prime minister. When the Qin Dynasty was in danger of survival,
, the Li family will not just watch the building collapse..."
When Li Jinsheng said this, he fell silent.
It is always unpleasant for future generations to judge the achievements of their ancestors, but what Li Si did is really...too ugly!
Cao Jinxing couldn't help but lament that fate plays tricks on people.
The First Emperor was thinking very hard for his descendants, but he never expected that Hu Hai would dare to usurp the throne, and that his loyal minister and good prime minister would be an accomplice! He helped the 18th prince succeed to the throne and killed his son-in-law with his own hands...
It may be because the relationship between the father-in-law and his son-in-law is relatively plastic, or it may be that Zhao Gao made a huge temptation, or it may be that the situation forced the emperor to misjudge Zhao Gao and issue an imperial edict. In order to keep his position, Li Si had no choice but to
Choose to be complicit...
No matter what it was, Li Si was responsible for the entrustment of the First Emperor, but he was not a real traitor. When Hu Hai indulged in lust and started corvee work, he was convicted for admonishing and his whole family was beheaded. Only Li You and his family were found guilty.
Holding heavy troops, the emperor was far away from the sky and was spared...
Cao Jinxing understood: "The entire Li family was beheaded and convicted for speaking out. Li You's descendants can only remain anonymous, and you have the Kaifeng Li family..."

Li Jinsheng nodded: "Before the ancestor passed away, he repented and used a fake mirror to confuse Hu Hai. He ordered his cronies to escort the real mirror to Yongqiu Station and hand it over to the second ancestor, which is now Qixian County, Kaifeng... Qin II died, and his destiny was gone.
I don’t want Hu Hai to plot the First Emperor’s mausoleum again and bring trouble to the world..."
"Ah."
Cao Jinxing sneered, saying it sounded nice, but it was just revenge. He ignored this incident and said: "Then you have been hiding well for so long, why did you reveal yourself today? Are you being targeted? Will you cause the disaster of annihilation?
"
Li Jinsheng's eyes flashed with hatred, his hands kept exerting force, and the knuckles he clenched turned white, and he said coldly: "I have inherited the Li family to this day, and I know very well the principle of 'the trees are as beautiful as they are in the forest, and the wind will destroy them', and I have never fought or grabbed them.
Even though I had the precious mirror in my possession, I didn’t dare to use it indiscriminately, and I was willing to be mediocre. But these people suddenly broke in, slaughtered them indiscriminately, and demanded to know the whereabouts of the precious mirror. How could there be any reason?!
[King of Qin Bone Mirror] has been passed down to this day. Only the head of the family and the young master know the hiding place. My father was defeated and would rather die than fall into their hands and suffer torture or mind-telling techniques. He committed suicide before he died!
, they asked me to put on [Rooted Noodles], change into servant clothes, hide in a pile of dead people, and then I escaped..."
At the end of the story, Li Jinsheng had tears in his eyes and was furious!
He crawled out of the grave. When he stood in the wilderness and saw the cold tombstones of his whole family, he felt so lonely and unaccompanied that ordinary people could not understand it!
Cao Jinxing sighed.
It seems that it may be a means of divination, or simply information provided by mythical beasts. After all, they have been living since the Qin and Han Dynasties or even longer until now...
Cao Jinxing prefers the latter.
Qiongqi, the Four Evils, may not be the strongest among the mythical beasts, but he must be the most vicious. He has been hiding behind the clouds of history and just watching the fun is not too big a deal. He might even kill the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty and cause chaos in the world.
Its handwriting...
Cao Jinxing understood the cause and effect, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "I can also use telepathy. Have you ever thought that the court might directly force you to do it and be too lazy to make a deal?"
"?!
"
Li Jinsheng's eyes widened in surprise and his face turned pale. He looked at Cao Jinxing, as if he didn't expect that the imperial court would be so unrestrained! How is this different from those murderers?!
"okay."
Cao Jinxing looked at his confused expression and thought that this guy was really simple.
Not using the treasures but settling for mediocrity... He couldn't say whether this survival strategy was right or wrong, but for now, even if he became one of the four major aristocratic families with the help of this mirror, he still couldn't withstand Zhao Xizhen. He could only say that God would not bless him.
This book has such a calamity.
Cao Jinxing stood up and promised: "I will do my best to protect you, but now I need to change the order... I want to get the [Qin King Bone Mirror] immediately!"
The map is in your hand. If you know the whole picture of the Qinling Underground Palace a day earlier, you will be safer when you enter later.
Li Jinsheng's face turned even paler, and he moved back carefully: "You! You want to use Mind-Taking..."
Cao Jinxing was too lazy to nag him and said directly: "Actually, I know where it is even if you don't tell me. It's in your Li Mansion, right? It's impossible for such a valuable treasure to be hidden outside. Those people can't find it. Maybe it's
The mechanism is clever, but sorry... you can't hide it from me! I don't need you to talk, just wait here while I go get the mirror."
"..."
Li Jinsheng's expression tightened at first, and then he couldn't bear to remind: "Now there are people watching inside and outside the house! Those people are hiding in the dark, their eyes are blood red, like puppet zombies, they only know killing, it is very scary! You are alone
Even if you find it, you can’t take it out! Why don’t you bring a large team of people to pick it up after you return to Beijing, and I will definitely tell you the location..."
"It's not bad, I'm not good at martial arts, but I have a pure heart."
Cao Jinxing smiled: "No wonder Master Ciguang can rescue him secretly. Your Li family must have an old relationship with him..."
Li Jinsheng nodded blankly: "We have been donating incense and money to the Daxiangguo Temple since it became famous in the Northern Song Dynasty. Our relationship with the previous abbots can be..."
"My family is rich, no wonder I can afford Ho Luo..."
Cao Jinxing's body flashed and disappeared into the cave. Only his extremely dull voice floated in from far away: "Excuse me, Master, please take care of me. Cao will come as soon as you go..."
"Amitabha."
Outside the cave, Master Ciguang put his hands together and recited the Buddha's name.
——Fortunately, it was Cao Jinxing who came. If it had been anyone else, Li Jinsheng's situation might not have been good. Beizhen Fusi, the most indispensable thing is the means of torture to extract confessions. In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, he must be abandoned...
