Zen Temple Suo Qingqiu

In the late autumn of the 22nd year of Zhenguan, a strange sign suddenly occurred in the ancient Guanyin Temple. Half of the leaves of the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree planted by Taizong were glowing with ominous gray, and the wind rustled as if there were living things swimming around; the sacred spring in the back mountain was as turbid as ink, and the bottom of the spring was black and blue with the breath. When Gu Jingzhou walked out of the meditation room holding the medicine stove, he didn't know that he was about to face a life and death situation. Three years ago, he was the best painter at the Chang'an Painting Academy. He was convicted of "real" painting in a painting called "Xuanwu Gate Changes" and was ordained and entered the temple to avoid trouble. Now his master is seriously ill, and there is a muffled sound from the ground. Hidden in the rusty cracks of the mechanism at the bottom of the spring is not a demon, but the secret shadow of the Sui-made armory. It is the censor Li Song's conspiracy to steal the armor through "Qiu Grudge". A half-piece of dragon-shaped jade pendant calms the restlessness in the palm of the hand. The fragment of "Picture of Sealing Qiu from Divine Spring" hides the key to repair: the root of ginkgo is the chain, the essence and blood of the Eighteenth Guards is the lock, and the bronze buckle needs silver glue mixed with famous blood. He explored the bottom of the spring at night, touched the broken tenons of the copper plate, melted the old Buddha bronze and cast the dragon spine buckle, and had to fight against Li Song's seven-day death limit and the pressure of the imperial army. The world saw strange words and evil spirits, and only he knew that what needed to be repaired was not just the seal of the spring, but also the loyal soul buried by lies, and the "truth" engraved on the bronze vessel. When Qing Niang comes with a complete genealogy of craftsmen, and when the descendants of the Eighteen Guards raise their waist badges to protect the spring, these seven days are a gamble against time, a fight against conspiracy, and more importantly, to make the spring clear, the trees green, and the people's hearts restored. But, is the bluestone Qiu at the bottom of the spring really just a suppressor?
