Jingshi, on the official road not far from Nancheng, a convoy was hurrying away.

There are more than 30 horsemen in this convoy, and the horses are all good horses from outside the Saiwai, and the people are all Northland athletes. These knights all had a bow on their horses, a quiver on their right, and a goose sword on their waists.

More than 30 horses around the two carriages, the head of the carriage carved incense painting, elegant and noble, at a glance is the owner of the convoy rides. The latter carriage was not ornate, but it was made of fine wood, which had been carefully soaked in tung oil, and looked unusually strong, but in terms of shape, it seemed to be used for the salute of the owner of the caravan.

"I'm afraid this rain is about to fall, young master, should we hurry up camp or go into Nancheng to find a Buddhist temple and Taoist temple to take shelter from the rain?"

The baffle at the position of the window was opened, and a face like a crown of jade appeared by the window, and the owner of the face looked up at the sky and said: "The clouds are very thick, I am afraid that this rain is not small, and it is not a moment and a half to stop, hurry into the south city to find a temple and watch it." ”

The knight who asked before smiled: "Fortunately, the others just crossed the Yongding River and returned to Xinzhai first, otherwise how big would it be to accommodate more than 300 of us?" ”

"Naturally, they have to go back to Xinzhai first, or I will take a few hundred families to wander around the capital? That's going to be impeached. ”

Naturally, this group of people is none other than Gao Shishi's team returning to Beijing. When he went south, he originally brought about 500 people, and when he came back, he left nearly 200 people in Henan to serve as temporary instructors for the mine protection team and the factory protection team in Henan, and it was expected that he would stay for a year before he was transferred back to Beijing, so the convoy back to Beijing was only about 300 people.

After crossing the Yongding River, Gao Shishi asked the brigade to return to Jianxinzhai, which had already been expanded in the northwest suburbs of the capital, and he only brought three squads led by Gao Cheng into the city with less than 40 people. But I didn't want to enter the city yet, but it seemed to catch up with a heavy rain.

After entering You'anmen, the lower the cloud curtain in the sky becomes, and this autumn rain is about to fall uncontrollably. In the midst of a private house, there happened to be a Buddhist temple that looked new, and Gao Jue hurriedly beckoned everyone to go to shelter from the rain.

When he arrived at the gate of the Buddhist temple, Gao Shishi got out of the carriage by himself, and before he could stand firmly, he heard Gao Jue's "huh" and said, "There are others." ”

Gao Pragmatic said indifferently: "There are many ordinary people's homes in this southern city, maybe they went out to run errands and encountered heavy rain, so they couldn't go home in time." ”

Gao Jue smiled and said, "I'm afraid this is not an ordinary people's home, young master, look." ”

Gao Shi followed the prestige, and it turned out that Gao Ming saw two small sedan chairs parked not far from the main gate of the Buddhist temple.

Since there were other people, Gao Ming subconsciously ordered his subordinates to arrange defenses, and several family members put their right hands on the handle of the waist knife and rushed to Gao Shi to protect them.

Gao Pragmatic waved his hand: "This is Jingshi, not those wilderness, don't be careful like this." Besides, since people came in a sedan chair, it is obvious that they can't be any villains, and you have collected your blades, don't rush into the pure place of Buddhism. ”

Only then did everyone put down their hands on the knife, but they still did not relax their vigilance, and four family members stepped forward to explore the way.

Although Gao Pragmatic said lightly, he didn't stop this practice, but he didn't expect the four family members to come out again immediately after entering, and reported: "Young Master, this Buddhist temple seems to be newly built, and it has not yet been completed, and there are a lot of stones and woods in it, and I don't see any monks. ”

Gao pragmatically nodded and said, "In this case, we don't have to find a monk to communicate, let's go in." ”

Since it was a new Buddhist temple that had not yet been opened, Gao Jue didn't say much, and hurriedly asked someone to remove the items on the carriage, and then find a stone pier to lock the car.

Gao Shishi didn't care about these chores, and led several family members into the Buddhist temple.

The area of this new Buddhist temple is not very large, but the temple has built a floating temple, and the high pragmatism counts it, but it is not the "seven-level floating temple" that the world often says, but a nine-story pagoda.

However, this stupa is not fully completed, and it seems that it still lacks some solemnity.

Walking through the shadow wall, Gao Pragmatic laughed and said, "Fortunately, this Daxiong Treasure Hall has been repaired, otherwise it would be difficult for us to find a place to shelter from the rain." ”

All the family members also laughed, and someone said: "Young Master, I heard that Futu is to protect wealth, do you want to go and worship?" ”

Gao Pragmatic walked towards the Daxiong Treasure Hall, waved his hand and said: "Futu is a gathering of merits, what protects wealth and does not protect wealth, it is just a false rumor by the people." ”

When I got closer, I could already see the offerings inside, but it was a Bodhisattva with a fierce face, holding a pagoda in his hand.

The family members were very surprised, and someone asked, "Young Master, why is this Buddhist temple dedicated to an evil bodhisattva?" ”

Gao Shicheng laughed: "You guys don't have to be rare and strange, although the Mahabita Hall is generally dedicated to Shakyamuni Buddha, but it is not absolute." As for this evil bodhisattva, it seems that it should be the king of Duowen, and the pagoda in his hand is the Futu Pagoda. ”

A family member asked, "Duowen Heavenly King, but is he one of the Four Heavenly Kings?" ”

"Yes, it's one of them." Gao Pragmatic said while going up the steps: "This is Guanyin Bodhisattva's manifestation of the Heavenly King of Bishamen, who holds the Futu Pagoda, intending to protect the practitioners, protect and guide the Buddhas of the Ten Directions, so that all demonic obstacles can be avoided from the wind, and all evil evil voices can be kept away. ”

All the family members put their minds at ease and said: "It turned out to be a bodhisattva who warded off evil spirits, and they were all small people who had little knowledge, or the eldest young master who was more knowledgeable. ”

Gao pragmatic smiled, didn't speak, and continued to walk up the steps, but said in his heart: I'm not well-informed, but there are two "aunts" who I can't help but flatter believe in Buddhism, so I have to put a little effort into it.

But as soon as he walked up the steps, he didn't want a person to suddenly turn out at the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and said loudly: "Stop coming!" ”

Gao Pragmatic was taken aback, subconsciously stopped, and the guards behind him were also taken aback, and the two family members immediately took the lead in front of Gao Pragmatic without saying a word, grabbed the handle of the knife with his right hand, and pulled out half of the Yanling knife with a "poof", and shouted in unison: "What person!" ”

The other family members also immediately moved closer and tightly surrounded Gao Shishi in the middle.

Gao pragmatic eyes are good, and at a glance he saw that there was something wrong with the person who suddenly appeared from the Daxiong Treasure Hall This person is a tall man, looking at his face is about thirty years old, quite burly, but he has no white face.

The man was the same as the Gao family, with a simple knife hanging from his waist, and at this moment, he was also pressing the handle of the knife with his hand, and asked with a somewhat nervous face: "Who is here?" ”
