Morning, the fourth day of May. Lantern Mountain, Guanyun Temple. Next to the lotus pond pavilion in the Villa of Guanyun Temple. Two old monks holding tin staffs stood side by side and watched the scenery.
Nearby are groups of koi carps under lotuses, and in the distance are graceful early-blooming lotus flowers. Two old monks, one is Master Cien, the abbot of Shaolin Temple in Henan, and the other is his younger brother, Master Cideng, the abbot of Guanyun Temple.
"Senior brother, the sky is gray and there may be a rain today." Ci Deng, the abbot of Guanyun Temple, raised his hands on his sleeves, looked at the senior brother standing beside him under the corridor of the lotus pond, and sighed slightly.
Master Ci'en held the nine-ring tin staff in one hand and twirled his beard with the other, smiling and replied: "Junior brother, this rain will come sooner or later, it is unavoidable." Ci Deng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what his senior brother meant by 'rain'. It wasn't 'rain' from the sky. He smiled slightly and nodded.
"Are you all ready?" Master Cien asked again.
"Everything is ready." Ci Deng replied,
"The Zen rooms are prepared in various places, enough for three thousand people to stay. Furthermore, under the Beidou Cliff is the martial arts school of Guanyun Temple, which is enough to accommodate several thousand people. Senior brother, don't worry." Ci'en nodded, holding a nine-ring tin staff. , turned around and walked slowly through the corridor to the north, Ci Deng following.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go to Beidou Cliff to meet heroes from all walks of life." Master Ci'en said as he walked. ... Beidou Cliff is the back mountain of Guanyun Temple, located on the south side of Lantern Mountain. The cliff is steep and has ancient pines hanging on the cliff, which are nearly 100 feet high.
There is a legend about Guanyun Temple. It is said that the first abbot founded a sect and built a temple here. At night, he saw the cliffs towering into the clouds, and the clouds were vaguely visible, so the temple was called Guanyun Temple.
Looking at the top of the cliff from the bottom of the cliff, you can feel that it is vaguely comparable to the Big Dipper, so this cliff was named the Big Dipper. The main martial arts performance venue in the north of Guanyun Temple is located at the foot of Beidou Cliff.
The martial arts arena has no walls. There is a podium to the north, which is about six feet square. It is located at the bottom of the main cliff of Beidou Cliff. The martial arts arena is tens of feet square. There are no walls. There is only a wide stone step entrance on the east, west and south sides. .
To the east and west are the ridges of Lantern Mountain, with lush forests and bamboos, surrounding the Beidouya martial arts field in the middle. To the south is the vegetable field in the backyard of Guanyun Temple, and further south is the main temple of Guanyun Temple.
Two old monks, Ci En and Ci Deng, were resting in a Shaolin area under Beidou Cliff, waiting for heroes from all walks of life.
There are sentries at every intersection in the front yard and the martial arts arena, and Zhike monks have been arranged to guard the gates and make announcements. The martial arts arena is an orderly place for all martial arts sects in the world. There are also landmarks of the martial arts written in black carbon everywhere. In the end, four columns were empty. It is a place for idle sects and martial arts practitioners from all walks of life to attend meetings. A large open space is left on the east side as a place to tie horses. On the west side, there is a pavilion under two ancient banyan trees. There is an ancient well in the pavilion and a There are vessels for drawing water for people to quench their thirst.
Hour to hour, hour to hour. The guest monk from the east reported: "The leader Xiao of the Wuji Sect of the Dinghu Mountain Sword Sect has come to attend the meeting with his disciples!"
"The leader of the Lushan Sword Sect Li Zongli led all his disciples to attend the meeting!"
"Master Luo of the Cicada Sword Sect of Luo Fengshan has come to attend the meeting with his disciples!"... A group of leading monks went to lead the various sects to their respective stations to wait.
Before half the time for the incense stick had passed, monks in various gates and courtyards began to report guests.

"Sun Yu, the old master of Xiling Mountain Sword Sect Yu Sect, is attending the meeting!"
