The next morning, Yang Yun got up very early, washed up, dressed up, and waited patiently...... Yesterday, Li Linfu promised to send someone to take him over to the mansion and go to Dakong Temple together, and he had to prepare in advance.

As a result, the day was up, and the car that Li Fu came to pick up people was still missing.

"Master, shall we go or not?" Wu Yuan didn't leave, seeing that it was not early, and it was even possible that the battle over there had begun, so he came over and asked Yang Yun with a blank eye.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "Li Linfu is also polite on the surface, but in fact, he sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, and he is a Huangmen squire who is in the rising period of his career, and his eyes are empty, where do you really take my affairs to heart?" No, he even forgot the agreed things, which shows the hypocrisy revealed in his bones. ”

Yang Yun waved his hand and said, "It's not early, let's hurry up and set off, and we'll talk about it when we get to the Great Sky Temple." ”

The master and apprentice walked out of the north gate of Luoyang City and found that there was a sea of people here, and all the streets and alleys were full of people, even more lively than the first day of the festival.

On the first day of the festival, the people of Dongdu thought that the emperor would come to the venue in person, and the whole family dragged the old and the young, almost pouring out of the nest, wanting to pay homage to the holy face, and the news that the emperor was attracted by Zhang Guolao and the Nine Heavens Xuannu and would not reappear at the scene of the Dao meeting came out, and the people dispersed.

Many well-known Taoist priests are also interested in appearing in the Great Void Temple, but they are keen to participate in various Dharma ceremonies, and the number of people who have the Great Void Temple is becoming less and less.

But today, when it comes to the representatives of the Tang Daomen and the Tubo National Teacher, the people have come to see the excitement, and several streets around the Dakong Temple have been blocked.

"So many people who should have come earlier."

An Lun glanced at the crowd, looked back at Yang Yun and said.

Yang Yun glanced at her angrily, and continued to walk forward with a group of apprentices.

Finally squeezed to the intersection of the street in front of the Dakong Guanmen, the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Forest set up a card to block the way, and they were not allowed to move forward, even if they wore Taoist robes.

"Today, there are court officials who come to observe the fighting method, and it also involves disputes between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, outsiders are not allowed to enter at will, and the flow of people needs to be controlled."

The Lang general who led the team had an arrogant attitude, and even if Yang Yun explained that he was a Taoist priest, he would not let him go.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "Even if the emperor came in person on the first day, there was no restriction on the entry of Taoist priests, but now it is just Li Linfu coming, so it is so formal!" Could it be that Li Linfu is afraid that too many people will see this fight, and he is afraid that Zhang Gao will lose face in the end? ”

"Master, what now?" Wu Yuan asked.

Yang Yun smiled ashamedly, he was originally a VIP who accompanied Li Linfu to observe, but now he was not even allowed to enter the door, and sure enough, the ups and downs of life were too exciting.

"What can I do if I don't let me in? Just take a break outside and take a look, or just go back. Yang Yundao.

Wu Yuan was a little anxious.

In her opinion, such a big matter, Yang Yun should be involved in it no matter what.

But she couldn't help it, she didn't expect that with Yang Yun's prestige, she wouldn't even let the venue for the fighting method enter, which was too absurd.

The group squeezed back, and when they arrived at a relatively empty place, Yarou asked, "Master, do you want us to open the door and go in?" ”

In Yarou's opinion, since it is not possible to go through the main entrance, it is very convenient to enter without invitation, and it can be said that it is very convenient to enter through the portal.

Yang Yun smiled and said, "We are not the protagonists today, why do we have to join in the fun?" Let's find a place with relatively high terrain and just look at it from a distance, if we are close, maybe we will be forced to go up and fight with the Tubo national teacher, isn't it asking for trouble? ”

"Oh."

Yarou responded, and then followed Yang Yun to a three-story restaurant.

This is different from the situation in the Great Sky Temple, the location is excellent, and the road is opened with silver, and if you have money, you can go to the third floor, which is generally the preferred choice of dignitaries.

Today, Yang Yun was rarely arrogant, and directly presented an ingot of five taels of gold, and easily took people to the third floor.

On the third floor, a group of richly dressed children of wealthy families gathered, and only young noble children would be willing to spend a lot of money to watch the excitement in a good place.

"Shopkeeper, how can there be a Taoist priest coming up?" A nobleman's son felt that he had swept away his Yaxing, and questioned the shopkeeper who accompanied Yang Yun up.

The shopkeeper said respectfully: "Xu Gongzi, please take care of them, these people are also guests, and they have given enough money." ”

Yang Yun smiled at the young man Xu, and then took Wu Yuan and a few people to the window, but on the third floor, there is only the north window facing the big sky, and there are not many window positions, Yang Yun can go up and squeeze it, but Yarou and the others are difficult to join in the excitement as girls.

"That's a lot of people."

There was a young man next to him who tilted his head to look at the situation inside the Great Sky View.

In fact, there were not many people in the Great Sky Temple that day, and the total number of people may be four or five hundred, which is still a gap with the scale of two or three thousand people on the first day, which is the result of the number of people controlled on the spot.

Yang Yun had a strong perception, and soon found the figures of Wang Ji and Songmei in the Great Sky Temple, and Wang Ji looked around, obviously looking for him.

A high platform was temporarily erected in the big empty view, the appearance of five zhang square, not too big, today will be on the fighting method, and the high platform side is about 20 meters apart, a viewing platform is built, and there are seats on it.

Li Linfu has arrived with Li Mao, the king of longevity, and some officials from the six ministries, and Li Linfu is talking to Li Mao about something, which fully shows that Li Linfu did not take Yang Yun seriously from the beginning.

Yang Yun sighed with emotion: "Li Genu is really not a virtuous minister, just in terms of dealing with people, it makes people unhappy, he is completely a two-faced villain, no wonder he has a bad reputation of "honey-bellied sword" in history. I didn't fulfill what I promised, thinking that I would be fooled by saying hello afterwards? Hehe! ”

……

……

"The Tibetans are here!"

The street outside the Taoist temple suddenly became lively.

Yang Yun watched the excitement on the third floor of the restaurant, and the effect was better than in the venue, condescending, and he could see the situation inside and outside the venue at a glance.

About two or three hundred Tibetan soldiers, lined up in four columns, approached from the west street to the gate of Dakongguan, a forty or fifty-year-old monk with a rich appearance was protected in the queue, he wore a red robe, wearing a yellow crown hat, because yellow was a forbidden color among the people in this era, so that this hat was illuminated by the sun, and it stood out in the ranks.

"That's the Tubo National Teacher?"

"What a big pie!"

The third floor of the restaurant suddenly became lively, and the children of the nobles all looked to the west.

Yang Yun was also observing the costume of this Tubo national teacher.

In Yang Yun's opinion, this senior monk's dress is not the same as the clothing of later lamas, the hat is flat, and the sleeves are relatively tight, which is obviously different from the Tang Dynasty clothing.

A group of people came over, and there were Tang officers and soldiers who opened the way to avoid ordinary people from facing them and causing unnecessary trouble, in fact, no one dared to block the road, so the Tubo people came to the door smoothly, and someone immediately entered the door to spread the word, Yang Yun judged from the scene that Li Linfu and Li Mao had no intention of going out to greet them.

The Tubo people entered the Great Empty Temple, and there was a commotion in the Great Empty Temple, and the Taoist priests were very hostile to the Tibetan people, which belonged to the hatred between competitors.

Someone on the third floor of the restaurant suddenly asked, "Didn't you say that Zhang Tianshi of the Heavenly Master Dao would fight today?" I don't know who Zhang Tianshi is? Which of you know? ”

The son-in-law who spoke had a Guanzhong accent, as if he was from Chang'an with his father.

"Who can recognize so many people? Won't you know who it is when you go on stage later? Someone replied impatiently.

Only then did Yang Yun remember that he hadn't seen the other protagonist today, that is, Zhang Gao, the head of the Heavenly Master Dao.

Before, he and Luo Gongyuan teamed up to pit Zhang Gao, so that Zhang Gao "fished" the opportunity to fight on stage, but today I didn't see Luo Gongyuan come forward, and Zhang Gao didn't see anyone, but Fa Ling of Qingyang Palace was in the audience.

Yang Yun thought to himself: "Zhang Gao won't be a deserter in battle, right?" If he escapes, in the future, on the side of the imperial court, the Heavenly Master Dao will have to bear a lot of pressure, and Zhang Gao is afraid that no one will be able to fight with the Tubo National Teacher. ”

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the east side of the street.

Yang Yun looked over, but it was Zhang Gao who arrived with the people of the Heavenly Master's Dao, and it was actually later than the Tubo people appeared.

The Heavenly Master Dao did not do anything in this Dharma meeting before, so that the Daomen peers intentionally or unintentionally ignored the Heavenly Master Dao, but after all, the Heavenly Master Dao has a very strong mass base among the people, and this time Zhang Gao is a representative figure representing the Tang Daomen to fight the Tubo National Division, which won the hearts of the people for the Heavenly Master Dao at once.

"It's coming, it's coming! It's really a good show, and I'm not afraid of being late. ”

The third floor of the restaurant was lively again, and everyone looked out.

When Zhang Gao came here, there were no officers and soldiers to open the way, but the people consciously made way for Zhang Gao and his party to pass smoothly.

There are several familiar figures behind Zhang Gao, Li Qingguan, who has appeared many times before, is impressively listed, and there is also an inconspicuous little Taoist, this little Taoist makes Yang Yun feel that something is not right, although the distance between them is a little far, but Yang Yun always feels that this little Taoist is extraordinary.

On the other hand, after the Tubo people entered the venue, they found that they did not get any courtesy, but only found a vacant land for them as a temporary place to stay, and there was no tea at all, so they were a little dissatisfied and began to negotiate with the Tang officers and soldiers who maintained order.

And when someone spread the news of Zhang Gao's arrival, Li Linfu attached great importance to it, whispered to Li Mao, actually got up, and took Li Mao to take the initiative to welcome him out.

Familiar formula, familiar routine, Yang Yun looks familiar, isn't this the posture when Li Linfu greeted him yesterday?

"I'm really good at pretending." Yang Yun said in his heart.

When Li Linfu, Li Mao and others were about to arrive at the door, Zhang Gao and his entourage arrived, Li Linfu was very happy to greet Zhang Gao, and he couldn't hear what he said, but he also knew that what he said was a compliment.

Li Linfu even made a humble move, letting Zhang Gao go ahead, and he and Li Mao followed.

Zhang Gao entered the Great Void Temple, and the Tubo people looked at it with disdain, but as for the Tubo National Teacher, Benpo Taibao, he looked calm, and when Zhang Gao had not yet walked to the front of the fighting platform, he had already stepped onto the platform one step first, and not by ordinary means, but with a body similar to light skills, jumped up.

Although the height of the platform is only more than two meters high, he can go on the stage with such a light posture, without any running, and he does not even bend his waist, which is enough to show that he has a great ability, and the Taoist priests present are nervous.

This is not the territory of the Tubo people, and the Tubo people are obviously unprepared when they come from afar, so easily showing their "magic skills", even if it does not show that they are clever in the method, but at least it shows that they are prepared.

Li Linfu said something to Zhang Gao, this time Yang Yun specially used his perception to hear Li Linfu's words clearly: "I'll leave it to Zhang Tianshi here...... This official is waiting for your triumph, His Royal Highness King Shou, please move to the side with this official, and don't interfere with Zhang Tianshi's spell casting. ”
