Chapter 1222

The three figures were named Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Ba Fenghan.

Among them, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were originally two little rascals mixing in Yangzhou, but by chance, they obtained the "Longevity Formula" that was famous throughout the world, and thus were hunted down by Yuwen Huaji; they survived under the protection of the Rakshasa girl Fu Junqiang; later, in order to protect Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, Fu Junqiang fought a decisive battle with Yuwen Huaji, and Fu Junqiang was defeated by Yuwen Huaji and died; before dying, she revealed the key clues to the "Yang Gong Treasure" to the two.

After their grief and indignation, the two were determined to learn martial arts well and swore to kill Yuwen Huaji to avenge Fu Junqiang, thus leaving the life of little rascals. They began to practice the "Longevity Formula" and learned the secret of the Yang Gong Treasure, but because of this, they were coveted and threatened by others.

Later, it was the standard protagonist template; because of various reasons, the two were constantly hunted down, but the hunting of others did not kill them, but instead allowed them to constantly refine the Longevity Formula in battle, and their strength became more and more powerful; in this process, it was accompanied by various adventures, and the name of the two dragons became more and more famous.

The temperaments of the two also gradually changed.

Xu Ziling had a indifferent temperament, a nature of not competing with the world, while Kou Zhong was overbearing; in order to be able to win a breath, he finally chose to compete for the world; he wanted to prove himself in this way.

Proving that kings and nobles are not born with seeds.

Ba Fenghan was a Turk; his parents died early, and when he was very young, he lived a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife in the desert; because he killed the eldest disciple of the Martial Venerable Bi Xuan, he became an enemy of the Martial Venerable Bi Xuan; in order to challenge the Martial Venerable Bi Xuan, he came to the Central Plains to challenge many experts to temper his martial arts; by chance, he met the two dragons who came to Luoyang; they did not know each other until they fought, and in a short time, they had become close friends.

At this moment, they came to the Jingnian Chan Sect to steal a famous treasure, the "He's Jade"!

At first, the two dragons knew about the existence of the He's Jade from Wang Shichong; Wang Shichong and others asked them to come and steal this object, but the two did not agree; later, because of various reasons, they took the initiative to do this.

For Ba Fenghan, the He's Jade was a treasure through the ages, a magical world, and he believed that this object had a way to help his martial arts progress; for Kou Zhong, it was because he did not want this object to be obtained by Li Shimin.

He wanted to prove to Li Shimin's sister, Li Xiuning, that he, Kou Zhong, even if he was a little rascal, was qualified to compete for the master of the world; but unfortunately, the Cihang Jingzhai, which represented the white path, chose Li Shimin, and even wanted to use the He's Jade to create a drama of choosing a master on behalf of heaven, to prove that Li Shimin was the one destined by heaven.

Kou Zhong was naturally unconvinced; he would rather sink the He's Jade into the sea than let this object be obtained by Li Shimin.

So, he had to steal the He's Jade hidden in the Jingnian Chan Monastery.

As for Xu Ziling, he simply wanted to help his good brother Kou Zhong.

After lurking on the bell tower for a long time, the three intended to sneak into the most important copper hall of the Jingnian Chan Monastery to steal the He's Jade, however, the first time ended in failure because of various reasons.

But the three were not discouraged.

With Xu Ziling's keen observation, after a short time down the mountain, the three went up the mountain again to carry out the second theft.

This time, because of the lessons from the last time, with the assistance of Kou Zhong and Ba Fenghan, Xu Ziling, disguised with an old human skin mask, successfully sneaked into the copper hall.

When entering the copper hall, Xu Ziling only felt that he had entered a copper cover, or a copper bell.

On the four walls of the copper hall, countless Buddha statues of all sizes were placed, creating a magnificent and golden atmosphere.

The lights from the outside shone in, casting Xu Ziling's long shadow onto the center of the hall and the wall facing the main gate, making Xu Ziling feel a sense of guilt for being a thief.

However, afterwards, his eyes fell on an object placed in the center of the copper hall.

A pure white and flawless jade seal, with treasure light flashing, was placed peacefully on the copper table, not competing with the world.

The seal was engraved with a pattern of five dragons intertwined, the craftsmanship was ingenious, but a corner was missing and filled with gold.

Xu Ziling's heart trembled.

The sound of clothes rustling outside the door kept ringing, but no one broke into the hall.

This was the priceless treasure that the heroes of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods competed for, the unique treasure of the world, which left behind the story of returning the jade to Zhao perfectly, the rare treasure that Qin Shi Huang obtained to take the world and establish a unified China, the He's Jade.

At this moment, Xu Ziling felt that he was suddenly and inseparably connected with the thousand-year history of his country.

Just as Xu Ziling was about to step forward to take the He's Jade, suddenly, behind him, a gloomy and cold voice rang out, "This poor monk Buchun is the head of the four great guardian vajras of this monastery, responsible for protecting the treasure; if the benefactor is willing to turn back, I can let the benefactor leave."

Xu Ziling's heart sank, but he did not leave; instead, he continued to step forward, and before Buchun arrived, he took the He's Jade one step ahead; as the He's Jade was in his hand, a bone-chilling coldness surged from Xu Ziling's palm.

Xu Ziling forced himself to change his voice, becoming old and arrogant, "Since the old man dares to come to steal the treasure, he has the confidence to leave here; I wonder if you, Buchun, believe it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, another vigorous and powerful voice came from outside the hall, "Ignorant madman, how dare you come to the pure land of Buddhism to run wild; if you don't put down the jade and leave, don't blame my Buchi's demon-subduing staff for being ruthless."

Another of the four great guardian vajras spoke.

Xu Ziling ignored the clamor of the people outside, but struggled to operate the strange internal energy of the Longevity Formula to tame the He's Jade, to prevent himself from being affected by the He's Jade.

As a treasure through the ages, the He's Jade possessed a unique power; if one practiced martial arts in front of it, the practitioner would see many illusions, and would easily go into qi deviation; only Xu Ziling, who practiced the Longevity Formula, could barely resist the influence of the He's Jade with the help of the Longevity Formula; even so, he did not dare to easily operate his internal energy.

While resisting the influence of the He's Jade, Xu Ziling laughed and said: "Whoever dares to step into the hall door, I will operate my internal energy to shatter this treasure, so that no one can get it."

Another low voice rang out outside the door, "This poor monk Butan, the benefactor's words are wrong; all divine objects and treasures are governed by gods and Buddhas in the dark, not decided by mortals; if the benefactor can destroy this treasure, it is just heaven's will!"

Xu Ziling's full attention was focused on the He's Jade at this moment, and his meridians were already filled with cold air, and he was about to be unable to bear the influence of the He's Jade, so how could he have the mood to respond to Butan's words outside.

Just at this moment, another calm voice suddenly rang out in the copper hall.

"What a heaven's will, but I heard that you intend to hand over the He's Jade to the people of Cihang Jingzhai to choose a master on behalf of heaven; it can be seen that the so-called heaven's will is nothing more than this, just an excuse you found to satisfy your own greed and your own obsession."
