Taking into account that it is not easy for the martial arts examiners to come, and some martial arts examinees have the problem of "partiality", the Ming Dynasty's martial arts examination adopts an elimination system based on the overall performance ranking. A test.
Therefore, those who cannot test the stone still have a chance.
The second test is to draw a hard bow. It only measures the strength, not the accuracy. The rules are very simple. Those who draw the bow like a full moon pass. Hard bows are also divided into three types, corresponding to the one-stone bow, the one-stone five-dowel bow, and the two-stone bow.
Compared with the visual impact brought by lifting stones, pulling a hard bow is obviously a bit weaker. After all, holding a bow in his hand, laymen could not see the way out, but the enthusiasm of the people and soldiers watching was still high.
“It’s really surprising that people are so keen on this.”
Xie Jin couldn't help but sigh.
Zhu Yunwen looked around. It was no exaggeration to describe it as crowded and crowded. People in the capital like the excitement, no, people like to watch the excitement.
Yuan Yue appeared on the stage, Zhu Yunwen and others couldn't help but look at it.
Contrary to Zhu Yunwen's expectation, Yuan Yue gave up three hundred kilograms of stone when lifting the stone, and actually chose two stone bows for the hard bow. The strength of the two was basically the same.
Zhu Di looked at Yuan Yue holding the bow in his left hand, hooking the bow string with the fingers of his right hand, and then moved the bow up from his left leg. The bow string was pulled instantly, like a bright moon, pointing directly at the bright sun.
"This man is good at bowing."
Xu Huizu gave an evaluation.
Compared to lifting stones, Yuan Yue undoubtedly knows how to control and mobilize power on the bow.
Xue Lu and Ji Gang also successfully challenged the two-stone bow, but Lin Zhaoxue, who had been paying attention to Gu Sanshen, chose the one-stone bow and passed the line. Other martial arts examiners showed off their talents.
The sun gradually turns westward, and the shadows of buildings and people are lengthened, like the darkness stretching out its claws and touching the world.
Liu Changge stood on Fengyang Tower, watching the last ray of light disappear.
Night falls.
The city gate slowly closed.
Yue Sihai stood not far away, waiting anxiously. Zuo Zhou, Yang Shan, Sun Yue and others came to report one after another. Yue Sihai walked towards Liu Changge with a gloomy face and said: "Fengyang Guards and Security Bureau have not found the White Lotus Sect. The bandit leader has entered the city."
Liu Changge stared at the night sky and said softly: "I can feel that they are already here."
Yue Sihai was at a loss.
Liu Changge turned around and stood on the city wall overlooking the countless buildings in the city. The south city is where people gather and the lights are brighter. The east city is where the government offices and wealthy gentry's homes are, and the lights are as usual. The west is the commercial area, where the lights are brighter. Very few.
Fengyang is not a commercial city.
Only to the north, the unfinished imperial city was pitch black, like splashed ink.
Liu Changge picked up the telescope and wanted to see the houses under the lights, but the light was really bad and there were buildings blocking it, making it difficult to find valuable clues.
"Control all major roads, but when you encounter someone traveling, you must check their identity."
Liu Changge does not believe in evil.
Various intelligence shows that the White Lotus Sect has not changed the time and place of the meeting. It is the day when the martial arts competition begins. These people must have come to Fengyang City, maybe they have met and are now gathering together to discuss things.
Time is running out for the Security Bureau.
However, it is not easy to find a few people. After all, this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Although the population is not large, the area is not small and there are many buildings.
"Would this alert the enemy?"
Yue Sihai was a little worried.
Liu Changge shook his head and said: "Our people checked all the people entering and leaving the city at the city gate, but they did not find the Buddha Mother and the other White Lotus bandit leaders. If they really entered Fengyang City, they would have changed their makeup. In this case, These snakes have been alert for a long time."
At this time, Zuo Zhou hurriedly ran over and said, "I found something!"
"Where?"
Liu Changge asked quickly.
Zuo Zhou pointed in the direction of the east city and said: "To the west of the Yamen Office, in the Wang Yuanwai's residence!"
"Near the government office?"
Liu Changge was a little surprised, but then he realized that the White Lotus Sect wanted to play tricks under the light, thinking that the most dangerous place was actually the safest place. But they seem to have forgotten that the opponent is the security bureau, not the government officials.
"Walk!"
Liu Changge immediately led people down the city wall.
In a house, there are a few lights as usual, nothing out of the ordinary. However, in the seemingly dark west wing, the interior was brightly lit, and thick quilts were hung high, covering the windows and doors.
Sixteen people were sitting in the hall, with wine and meat well arranged, but no one was eating or drinking.
"Why, are you worried that the food and wine are poisonous?"
The Buddha Mother sits in the north, with Sun Tianyou, the King of Heaven, beside her.
"We haven't talked about the big things yet, so where can we think about eating and drinking?"
Lu Cheng, the Heavenly King of the White Lotus Sect in Northern Zhili, slapped the table, the food and wine trembled and fell, the wine glasses tipped over, and the wine flowed out.
Han Tianfu of the White Lotus Sect of Jiangsu and Zhejiang picked up the wine glass, poured the wine out, and said gloomily: "The White Lotus Sect has suffered heavy losses at the moment, and everything is caused by your Buddha Mother. If there is no explanation today, we will not move the food and wine. !”
King Kong, the new king of the White Lotus Sect in Shaanxi, said quickly: "Hey, how can you blame Mother Buddha for what happened here? I'm here today because I'm here for the future of the White Lotus Sect, not to quarrel or act out of emotion!"
Han Tianfu glared at Wang Jingang and shouted: "Wang Jingang's slave died in Wen County. The White Lotus Sect members were captured and killed. No one was spared. Who are you? How dare you claim to be Wang Jingang?"
Wang Jingang chuckled sinisterly, turned the short dagger a few times in his palm, then held the handle, and pierced the table with the sharp dagger. In just a moment, the table was pierced: "I am the person in charge of the White Lotus Sect in Shaanxi, and I am currently directly teaching the people. Three thousand, there are more than 100,000 people who believe in me."
"One hundred thousand? I'm so scared!"
A woman seemed to be frightened. She covered her chest with her hands and said to Wang Jingang: "When Wang Jingang was dead, he didn't dare to call himself one hundred thousand. You just took the name of Wang Jingang and you dared to call yourself one hundred thousand?"
Wang Jingang laughed loudly and pointed at the woman: "Mother Yu Chou, Wang Jingang is a slave, and I am Wang Jingang. One word difference is a thousand times different."
Yu Chou's mother smiled and said: "I am in Shanxi, and I can't breathe with Rujun pressing on me, but I can still hear it. People in Shaanxi are afraid of the White Lotus Sect, so how can they believe you when you say three thousand? Let me just listen. If you say one hundred thousand, you will blow your tongue to the sky, but no one will believe it.”
Wang Jingang still wanted to speak, but he heard the sound of banging on the table.
Mother Buddha looked at the chaotic crowd, put down the chopsticks in her hands, and said: "We are taking the risk to gather here. If it is just for quarreling and bickering, should we change the place? Now the White Lotus Sect is at a critical moment of life and death. If you don't work together, I'm afraid, I will defeat them one by one for the imperial court, and there will be no more white lotus in the world."
Yu Chou's mother was not happy and immediately attacked: "Mother Buddha, no, Fang Caiyun, Han Tianfu is right what he said. The disaster of the White Lotus Sect has a lot to do with your saint Mo'er. If she hadn't betrayed the White Lotus Sect and betrayed With so much information, how could we have reached this point? If the Shandong White Lotus Sect doesn't give everyone an explanation, you, Fang Caiyun, had better hand over your tokens and list and serve Maitreya!"
"That's right!"
Han Tianfu supported.
Although Lu Cheng didn't speak, he didn't object. Wang Jingang also remained silent at this time.
Bai Lian Mo'er's betrayal cannot be circumvented. If this problem cannot be solved, it will be impossible to unite the White Lotus Sect as a whole. This meeting will be a failure.
The Mother Buddha reached out and poured a glass of wine. After picking it up, she drank it all in one gulp, and then threw the wine bottle directly away: "You want to explain to me, and I also want to ask you to explain!"
Seeing the angry Buddha Mother, everyone couldn't help but be shocked.
The Buddha Mother stood up with a majestic look on her face: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, where has the White Lotus Sect been able to compare with Shaanxi and Shandong? What were you doing when King Vajra Nu was fighting to the death, his blood dyed red, and he was martyred with death? Qingzhou Numbers One hundred thousand White Lotus believers raised an army and shocked the entire Ming Dynasty. Facing the elites of the imperial court and Geng Bingwen's army, we were not afraid of life and death. We opened the way with blood and summoned Maitreya. But what are you doing? There is no movement in Beizhili, and there is no movement in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. No movement, no movement in Shanxi!"
"For the sake of the White Lotus Sect, for the coming of Maitreya, and for our pursuit of bliss, the Shandong White Lotus Sect spilled its blood on the earth, but you did nothing! Now it's just a saint who has been captured and leaked some information, so you dare to attack me ? Are you unable to see the achievements of the Shandong White Lotus Sect, or are you pretending to be blind and unable to see the fear of the imperial court?"
Those words make people bow their heads.
Mother Buddha was still angry and kicked the table over, scattering the dishes on the floor, and shouted: "In the battle of Qingzhou, more than half of the elites of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong were lost. Immigrants from Shanxi said that the people's hearts are just unstable. Mother Yu Chou, you Why is there no movement? If we respond to the uprising in Shandong, even if we cannot accomplish great things, we will definitely cause chaos in Shanxi!"
"And you, Heavenly Father Han! Many of your followers are probably fishermen. The imperial court keeps transporting grain to the north. Why don't you move? The Ming Dynasty Navy is out there with all its elite troops. As long as you set a fire, the imperial court can How much food will be burned, and the north will be in chaos due to lack of food. This is the best time for our White Lotus Sect to start an uprising, why don't you move?"
"Lü Cheng, you must have many believers in Beizhili. When Zhu Di and Ping An led their troops to Jizhou and left the customs, Beizhili was so weak and had immigrants in its hands. Why didn't you make any move? ?”
The Mother Buddha looked at the people who dared not speak and gritted her teeth: "Looking at the Great White Lotus, only Shandong and Shaanxi White Lotus dare to declare war on the imperial court and create a catastrophe to welcome Maitreya! But as for you, you are all shrinking and still dare to Are you talking about me? If this continues for a long time, don’t say that Bai Lianmo’er was arrested, even Caiyun may be arrested!”
Wang Jingang saw that the others were silent and unable to refute, so he said: "Buddha Mother is right. Everyone, it's time for us to unite and set off a frenzy that will completely sweep the entire Ming Dynasty and welcome Maitreya to the world!"
Father Han pondered for a moment, then finally raised his head and said to the Buddha's mother: "Our inaction is not because we have forgotten the essence and purpose of White Lotus, but because the time is not yet ripe."
The Mother Buddha shook her head and said sternly: "There is no mature opportunity in this world. There are only opportunities to create and seize the opportunity. Now there are new actions in ancient and modern times, which require the cooperation of our White Lotus Sect, and this time the cooperation is not from the Shandong White Lotus Sect. But all the White Lotus Sect. Let’s start the discussion now, does anyone else have any opinions?”
