Tiefo Temple is also called Mingjiao Temple and Mingjiao Temple.
This temple is magnificent and vast. It is the largest temple on the Huainan Road. It has always been prosperous. Even when Wang Qing defeated Luzhou, it was not affected much. People continued to burn incense and worship Buddha.
After standing in front of the temple gate and looking for a moment, Zhao Tong said to himself: "Mingjiao Temple..."
Yao Pingzhong carried a gun on his back. It was a large gun that was completely black except for a glimmer of light at the top. It was Zhao Tong's Black Sun-Destroying Gun.
However, at this moment, the gun is wrapped in oilcloth, and only the shape of a gun can be seen. Outsiders do not know the specific appearance, it is just an ordinary long gun.
There are few Jianghu Green Forest people who come to Luzhou without weapons. Most of them have more short soldiers and fewer long soldiers. However, the long soldiers are all three types: simple knives, spears, and sticks, which do not attract anyone's attention.
At this time, the gate of the temple was not closed, but it was getting late, and very few people came in. Most of them only went out. People of all ages came to burn incense and pray. Most of them came to pray for peace in the world and no more wars.
The entrance and exit of the temple is not one place, but several mountain gates, divided into safe places, the most auspicious places, etc.
The three of them, Zhao Tong and others, walked to the most auspicious place. They could only go in and out, so it was quite smooth.
After wandering around the courtyard and buying a few bundles of incense, the three of them walked to the Main Hall.
The treasure hall in the Iron Buddha Temple is very large, and a cast iron Buddha is enshrined in it, hence the name of the temple.
After entering the main hall, there were not many pilgrims inside because it was closing time. The young novice came over to remind him. Huang Gu answered for a moment and left, and the young novice turned around and left.
Zhao Tong looked up at the Buddha, but it was really an iron Buddha, fully eight feet tall. This was obviously different from that of later generations. After several dynasty changes, wars, and several reconstructions, the iron Buddha was long gone. .
But now it was still this Buddha. Zhao Tong looked at it carefully. Although this Buddha also had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, it was very different from other Buddhas. The round light of other Buddhas was in a circle behind the head, commonly known as the Buddha's light.
But the round light of the Buddha enveloped the whole body, forming a huge circle. The Buddha sat in the middle, and the Buddha's light spread out from all directions around the body. Although it was not a real light, it was just carved, but it gave people a sense of light everywhere. Feel.
Zhao Tong squinted his eyes, what kind of Buddha is this?
Yao Pingzhong looked at it strangely and said: "Master, this iron Buddha is quite rare. It can be made so big and its shape is so weird."
Zhao Tong nodded, and when he saw that there was no one in the hall, he turned around and walked out. Just when he stepped out of the door of the Main Hall, he suddenly saw two figures turning back at the corner of the hall outside.
He looked familiar. When he walked around the main hall and around the corner to look back, he saw no one there again. When he thought carefully, they were two people in black clothes, not monks.
Yao Pingzhong came over and asked, "What did the master find?"
Zhao Tong shook his head and said: "Nowadays, there is a mixture of dragons and snakes in Luzhou City. There are too many people coming and going from all over the place. Maybe I got it wrong."
As he walked, he thought about it. It was impossible that he had seen it wrong. In this life, photographic memory was not only about words, but also the people and things he had seen.
It's just that in the past few years, more and more people have come to see it. Maybe some of them have come to Luzhou. Maybe they have just seen it and may not be really familiar with it.
After leaving the gate of Tiefo Temple, we returned to the inn and spent the whole night speechless.
Early on the second day, there were huge crowds of people inside and outside Luzhou City, and it was extremely noisy.
Everyone in the city who participated in the beating gathered at the city gate, and then the soldiers opened a passage and left the city in an orderly manner.
Zhao Tong looked over and saw that there might not be thousands of people there, not counting the Green Forest people living in temporary houses outside the city.
If there are more green forests coming from all directions in the future, there will probably be no problem if the number exceeds 10,000.
His face was gloomy. He saw that there were men, women, old and young in these green forests. Even monks and Taoists could see that if they gathered together, they would be quite a force.
As people flow out of the house, they want to check the wrestling tokens and enter the venue ahead if they are correct. However, there are no people around to watch this Luzhou tournament. They are all people from the world.
Under the sunlight, all kinds of weapons gleamed. Three of them stood together, and two of them stood separately. Their eyes were full of vigilance for those who were not on the same journey.
There are even enemies who are extremely jealous when they meet each other, secretly thinking about how to kill the opponent in the ring.
At this time, three drums sounded, the soldiers raised their spears and swords high, and with the sound of horse hooves, a team came out of the city gate.
This team all wore helmets and armor. After passing by, there were infantrymen of various colors holding guns and axes. There were three chariots in the middle. The chariot at the front was an imitation of the imperial system, painted with dragons and phoenixes, and six horses on the shaft. It was extremely majestic. .
Zhao Tong looked from a distance and knew that Wang Qing had arrived, and the two cars behind him should be Duan Sanniang and Li Zhu.
Wang Qing's own martial arts skills are mediocre, but there are many masters around him. Even this Sanniang is also proficient in fists and kicks, cruel and ruthless, with the nickname "Big Worm's Nest".
Zhao Tong glanced at the car and then turned back. This Luzhou City was no better than the grassland outside the Great Wall. Even if he could kill Wang Qing now, he might not be able to fly out if he grew wings later.
After a while, the flower canopy stand was surrounded by layers of armored troops. Wang Qing came on stage surrounded by everyone, followed by Duan Sanniang. She said that although Wang Qing was tall, strong and handsome, Duan Sanniang was not as good as Duan Sanniang. On the contrary, my mother is incompatible with the beauty. She has a thick and strong body, a fleshy face, and is extremely ugly. Otherwise, she would not be nicknamed Big Worm's Nest.
Wang Qing wears a purple gold flat crown and a black dragon robe. There is a saying that the Song Dynasty was a country rejuvenated by virtue of fire, so red is the main color everywhere, even the dragon robes are also red.
The five elements of water overcome fire, and the water virtue is black and blue. There is a lot of water in Huaixi. Li Zhu said that this was the water virtue. Wang Qing established the dynasty with water virtue and wore black robes.
The three people came on stage, followed by some so-called ministers of the pseudo-Huai Dynasty. They all looked ferocious. Even if they were wearing official robes, they looked like villains.
Immediately afterwards, another group of people came forward, but these were not officials from the pseudo-Huai Dynasty, but leaders from the four major forces and the owners of Dazhai.
These people all sat on it. Zhao Tong looked at it and could see that they were divided into four or five factions, but he didn't recognize any of them. He guessed that Tian Hu, Liang Shan, Zhong Laoyao and other factions had all arrived.
As everyone sat down, the soldiers below began to maintain order. After scolding the noisy voices, a man came out on the stage to speak, but it was Fan Quan, the commander-in-chief of the fake Huai Dynasty.
This man was born thin, with sinister eyebrows and beards, and a sharp voice. He first spoke some green forest lingo, saying that there is a cloud connecting the sky in all directions, and that the green forest in the world is a family, and the rivers and lakes are brothers, each is a king and each is a minister.
After saying this, the following people applauded one after another. The people in Green Forest were the ones who liked this trick the most, so they felt that this pseudo-Huai Dynasty had not forgotten its origins and always remembered that it was from Green Forest.
After Fan Quan was polite, he began to praise Wang Qing, and then Prime Minister Li Zhu. Only then did Zhao Tan observe Li Zhu carefully.
I saw that this man was about forty years old. He was not wearing an official uniform, but a Confucian crown and Confucian uniform. He had silkworm eyebrows, red and phoenix eyes, a face like a full moon, three strands of clear beard, and a gold-handled sword on his back. The sword ho is fluttering in the wind, and its grace is eye-catching.
