If it was just because of this matter, Zhao Mingyuan would not be so surprised.
Apparently, they evacuated before taking action.
After all, Zhao Mingyuan was aware of it, but his attention was attracted by other things instead of paying attention to these details.
Now that I think about it carefully, these guests should have left one after another when Shen Luoyan wanted to talk to the Song brothers and sisters.
But what really surprised Zhao Mingyuan was that not only was the restaurant empty, there was not even a single pedestrian on the street outside the window.
This most prosperous thoroughfare in Luoyang is now as quiet as a ghost land. In broad daylight, all the shops and buildings have their doors and windows closed, leaving only the early morning sun shining slantingly on the long street.
Obviously, the other party evacuated not only this restaurant, but also the nearby neighborhood.
This was naturally directed at Zhao Mingyuan, and it was obviously not what You Chuhong and the others did just now.
After all, when they besieged Zhao Mingyuan, it was enough to evacuate the guests and waiters in the restaurant. There was no need to spend so much time.
Now it seems that Buddhism and various princes and forces have joined forces to clear out the area.
This was probably the battlefield they chose to deal with Zhao Mingyuan.
Zhao Mingyuan saw from a distance through the window a slender and graceful man dressed as a scholar standing on the Tianjin Bridge. He stood on the top of the bridge with his hands behind his back, leaning on the railing and looking down at Luoshui, which was coming and going under the bridge.
When Zhao Mingyuan looked over, the man seemed to feel something in his heart, and actually raised his head and looked towards Zhao Mingyuan.
Their eyes met, and Zhao Mingyuan recognized it at a glance. It was Concubine Xuan, the contemporary saint of Cihang Jingzhai.
Although she is dressed in Confucian robes and men's clothing, her graceful eyebrows, beautiful face, and exquisite curves that cannot be covered by loose robes all indicate that she is a peerless beauty.
Even though the simple and elegant sword on her waist adds a bit of heroism to her, no one will regard her as a man.
Shi Feixuan didn't seem surprised to find that it was Zhao Mingyuan who was staring at her. Instead, she smiled and nodded, as if inviting Zhao Mingyuan to come down to the bridge to meet him.
Sensing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Zhao Mingyuan explored the surroundings, and was surprised to find that not only was the street cleared, but the surrounding area was filled with murderous intent. Apparently, a dragnet had been set up to prevent Zhao Mingyuan from flying.
Just near the Tianjin Bridge, Zhao Mingyuan noticed that there were dozens of innate masters, and there were even several deep and obscure auras looming, obviously they were master masters.
It may be a bit exaggerated to say that people are born inferior to dogs, but it can be said that almost half of the masters in the Tang Dynasty are here.
However, it may be because Zhao Mingyuan is so strong that even when faced with such a dragnet, he can hardly feel any sense of crisis, so that now he realizes that he is surrounded by enemies.
After all, no amount of sheep can make a tiger wary.
Therefore, they were able to hide from Zhao Mingyuan's perception and unknowingly set up this dragnet.
It seemed that You Chuhong and the others were just the vanguard just now. They were definitely not the only ones who came to Zhao Mingyuan.
In fact, almost all the princes and martial arts masters in Luoyang are nearby. Either to help Buddhism, or to support Buddhism, or just to watch the fun.
In short, countless martial arts masters have almost completely surrounded the place, and there are even more people ambushing them secretly.
The nearby pavilions, rooftops, and boats in the river all have a faint aura. Zhao Mingyuan felt that many of the smells were familiar, and he had obviously seen them before.
At least, Zhao Mingyuan was sure that Li Mi and Shen Luoyan of Wagang Village seemed to be hiding nearby. There are also Dongming Princess Shan Wanjing and the Song brothers and sisters, who should also be nearby.
However, it seemed that because they knew their identities, or to prevent them from helping Zhao Mingyuan.
In short, there were many masters surrounding them vaguely surrounding them, which seemed to prevent them from helping Zhao Mingyuan break the encirclement.
You Chuhong, Chao Gongcuo, and Wang Bo, who had just started fighting with Zhao Mingyuan, were all important and highly respected figures in the world, and they were surrounded by many people. They seemed to be still talking about something. Maybe those people were asking them about Zhao Mingyuan's strength.
But looking at the situation, they are prepared to wait and see.
Obviously, after having done something with Zhao Mingyuan and understanding Zhao Mingyuan's strength, they also had other thoughts in mind, and their stance was still unclear.
At least, they probably won't take action until they are sure that Buddhism can keep Zhao Mingyuan. He would only add insult to injury after he was convinced that Zhao Mingyuan was at the end of his rope.
This is naturally because the result of their test was beyond their expectations. Zhao Mingyuan was too strong and could probably survive this disaster without outside help.
But they also understand that the revealed strength of Buddhism is just the tip of the iceberg, and its hidden strength far exceeds that of Zhao Mingyuan. If Buddhism regards Zhao Mingyuan as its mortal enemy and mobilizes all its forces to deal with him, then the result will definitely be Buddhism's victory.
Zhao Mingyuan's outcome was probably to be defeated and killed, or at best he would remain anonymous and only escape with his own life.
Of course, if Zhao Mingyuan expresses goodwill towards Buddhism, it may not be impossible for Buddhism to recognize him as the God of Destiny and change his mind.
In short, this matter still depends on the attitude of Buddhism, and everything is not yet certain.
Therefore, You Chuhong and the others naturally did not dare to place a bet rashly, lest they lose everything in one move and bring harm to the family.
It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.
Since Buddhism has taken the initiative to invite a fight, Zhao Mingyuan will naturally not retreat.
Zhao Mingyuan walked out of the empty restaurant and came to Tianjin Qiaotou.
There are countless eyes looking at this place, but they are all in the outer circle, and there are not many people nearby. Even though there were several Buddhists protecting Shi Feixuan behind her, they were just looking from a distance under the bridge.
For a moment, only Zhao Mingyuan and Shi Feixuan stood facing each other on the Tianjin Bridge.
Facing the morning glow and morning breeze, Master Fei Xuan wore a light green gown that was fluttering in the wind. She looked indescribably leisurely and elegant, calm and composed, like a fairy descending from heaven, which made people forget all the worldliness.
Everyone seemed to be intimidated by Concubine Xuan's beautiful and immortal face, and for a moment, there was silence all over the Tianjin Bridge.
However, although the fairy from Cihang Jingzhai has a beautiful appearance and dominates the world, the heroes discovered that Zhao Mingyuan, who was confronting her, was not inferior in temperament.
At first glance, Zhao Mingyuan seemed to have an ordinary appearance, just an average person, not outstanding.
Compared with the heirs of various sects and the disciples of the good and evil sects, his appearance seems to pale in comparison.
But the closer you look, the more you can find Zhao Mingyuan's extraordinary magnanimity underneath his ordinary appearance.
It seems to be the carefree spirit of Taoism, the compassionate heart of Buddhism, the erudite pursuit of knowledge of Confucianism and the unscrupulous behavior of the Demonic sect, as well as the sharpness of swordsmanship of Jianghu people and the majesty and domineering aura of being in a high position for a long time.
These various temperaments are mixed together to form a diverse and meaningful temperament that is all-encompassing, giving Zhao Mingyuan a unique charm that is heart-wrenching.
Moreover, the more advanced one's cultivation is, the more one can feel Zhao Mingyuan's extraordinary magnanimity and feel that it is unfathomable, as high as the sky and as deep as the sea.
Naturally, Zhao Mingyuan felt that the time had come, and now he no longer needed to pretend, so he no longer concealed his strength.
It's just that Zhao Mingyuan's cultivation far exceeds that of everyone present. Even if he doesn't hide it, most of the heroes can only feel his mysterious power, but cannot detect his specific depth.
But this is enough to make the heroes feel awe-inspiring.
When ordinary people encounter this kind of situation, they know that everyone around them has bad intentions, so they just don't dare to stand up at all, and they may even have run away after hearing the news.
But not only did Zhao Mingyuan not escape, he even dared to come here even though he knew that a dragnet had been set up here. He was indeed very brave.
This person really deserves his reputation, and he is by no means a wasted one. Being able to create such a foundation at such a young age is absolutely no luck.
Although Zhao Mingyuan first entered the world less than a year ago, he has already done several great things and is famous all over the world. Now it is even more possible to obtain Yang Gong's treasury and the He family's jade at the same time. If he survives this disaster safely, he will be like a trapped dragon ascending to the sky, becoming a flying dragon in the sky, and no one in the world can stop it.
Since Zhao Mingyuan became famous all over the world, many people naturally inquired about his origins.
But they could only find out Zhao Mingyuan's experience after entering the world. However, no matter how much he checked, he could not find out the information from before this year, as if Zhao Mingyuan really fell from the sky.
Of course, it is rumored that Zhao Mingyuan was a disciple carefully trained by Lu Miaozi after he fled overseas, and everyone has heard this news.
Naturally, the heroes were skeptical about this news.
Naturally, everyone has heard about Lu Miaozi's talents, and many people present have even seen it with their own eyes. But even so, it is not easy to teach a successor like Zhao Mingyuan who is both civil and military.
In fact, everyone knows that such people cannot be taught by teaching at all.
Otherwise, wouldn't those high-ranking sons, masters, and disciples of great masters all be outstanding figures in the world?
But everyone knows what the truth is.
Obtaining generous resources and excellent education can indeed be one step ahead. These people can also be regarded as masters in the world, but it is absolutely impossible to produce such talented people as Zhao Mingyuan in batches.
The so-called favored sons of heaven are all born by luck, with unparalleled qualifications, countless opportunities, and abilities that others cannot.
These are all things that can be met but cannot be sought. It may take decades or even hundreds of years for one to appear.
After all, resources, famous teachers, and talents can only solve part of the problem, and many things must be experienced personally.
It is said that a dragon cannot be raised in shallow water, so how can a genius like Zhao Mingyuan be taught in a barbarian land overseas?
Many people couldn't help but wonder, is Zhao Mingyuan really the son of destiny and has such ability?
Thinking of these, some people can't help but have their thoughts wandering.
If Zhao Mingyuan is really lucky and escapes this disaster, then the situation will be reversed and the offensive and defensive positions will change. Even Buddhism may not be able to cover the sky with one hand.
Do you want to place a bet in advance?
