White Horse Temple, located in the north and east of Luoyang City, north of the mountain, south of Luoshui. Because it is located outside the city, there is no restriction on the square song in the city, so the land is quite frugal, and the scale is extremely large, far from being comparable to the famous temples in the city.

Buddhism has been traveling eastward for hundreds of years. In the Wu Zhou Dynasty, various Buddhist activities were even more prosperous. As a famous temple between Heluo, the White Horse Temple is a holy place in the minds of many believers, even if it is not the ordinary season of Buddhist festivals, there is still an endless stream of believers who come and go to worship the Buddha.

Because it is located outside the city and not far from the city, there are many rules and regulations in the city, so the surroundings of the White Horse Temple are also very lively, and even some large and small grass markets have been formed. These grass markets were not supervised by the two cities, and at first they only sold some Buddhist utensils, and gradually expanded to many daily necessities, fruits, vegetables and vegetables.

It is precisely because of the existence of these grass markets that the White Horse Temple is no longer a simple Buddhist place, but more similar to a satellite town next to the big city of the gods.

On this day, a team of hundreds of knights rushed out of Hui'anmen in the north city of Luoyang, these knights were wearing beast Wenrong clothes, bows and knives were hung on the side of the saddle, and one by one the burly bodies were on the back of the horse, looking up heroic.

Seeing this, the pedestrians on the left side of the road retreated one after another, not daring to block the way, and couldn't help but ask the left and right to ask, which of the guards and soldiers of this group of cavalry who seemed to be so heroic?

As the center of the empire, the people of Shendu City are naturally well-informed, and they often see the soldiers of the Shangfu in and out of the city, or the powerful and powerful people travel in a flamboyant manner. But the clothing and banners of this team of cavalry are really rare, which naturally makes people suspicious, I don't know when there will be such a strong force in Jinai, and what is the purpose of such a fanfare?

For example, not long after the team left the city, some people pointed to the young general in light armor at the front of the team and shouted: "That's Xunqing, it's King Yao!" This king has been boring for a long time, and he has already entered the elite army! ”

Thanks to the popularity of many poems, when it comes to the most well-known powerful figure in Jinai, it is none other than Daiwang Wuji. Of course, there are many names for this famous king, and there are also a lot of folk names, but as long as someone shouts the nickname, the people can sound who it is at the first time.

Therefore, when the team marched all the way around the city, it attracted a lot of attention, and there was no shortage of market rangers who also followed and recited the famous Wang poems in the rear.

Once there are more followers, the scene will inevitably be chaotic, especially when it is closer to the White Horse Temple, a prosperous area outside the city, there are more idlers on the left side of the road, and the good deeds compete to see the demeanor of the King of Ease, so that the traffic is gradually blocked.

"Sloppy!"

Seeing that there were crowds swaggering in front of and behind the road, and no longer passing, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh and smile bitterly.

This is the first time that Qianqi has gone out of the palace to work in the field, and the target is still a sensitive existence like the White Horse Temple, in order to ensure safety, Li Tong decided to lead the team himself. But he still underestimated the enthusiasm of these idlers in Shendu, and a good action was turned into a sightseeing tour by these good deeds.

Although there are also field tasks in the past, most of them are some grand suburban ceremonies and the like, and they are not conspicuous among the many banners of the two yayas, and they rarely see this kind of fresh market atmosphere, so they all feel very fresh at first.

However, as the number of onlookers increased, and even the road ahead was blocked, and it was inevitably cramped by the crowd of people in front and behind to guide the onlookers. Especially when he heard the teachings and shouts of the people around him, he knew who was the initiator, and his eyes became a little strange when he looked at the general.

"Why don't Your Highness temporarily return to the forbidden middle school and lead the team to go?"

After rushing up a slope, seeing that there were more people in front of him, and even someone was driving in the middle of the road, Guo Yi Deng Wanzai finally couldn't help it, and stepped forward and suggested in a low voice.

When Li Tong heard this, he also felt embarrassed in his heart, and could only sigh that these idlers in Shendu City are really blind, Lao Tzu led the crowd to go out to raid the house, what are you doing with it?

"And rush out of the grass on the left!"

After thinking about it, he pointed to the slope on the north side of the road, and at the same time drew his knife in his hand, patted the heart guard on his chest with the spine of the knife, and shouted loudly to the crowd: "Bei Ya Qianqi, go out to catch thieves!" Those who claim to be good in the Kinai people are not allowed to follow and disturb trouble! Once the battle starts, the sword and arrow have no eyes, and the dead and wounded do not matter! ”

As he spoke, the team of thousands of horsemen had already left the avenue, and the iron hooves trampled on the flowers and plants on the slope and made a detour. At the same time, the pedestrians on the road did not dare to follow willfully after hearing the shouts of His Royal Highness the Acting King, but there were people in the crowd who kept clapping and cheering: "Xunqing is mighty!" ”

The White Horse Temple is more than 20 miles away from the north gate of Ouchi, and it was originally a thousand horsemen galloping on horseback, and it was soon to arrive.

However, because their general was too popular among the people, and there were countless fans, they had to avoid the crowd, and after some twists and turns, when they arrived at the White Horse Temple, more than an hour had passed. This is really contrary to Li Tong's original idea, coming and going like the wind, breaking the thieves lightly, but it is really not good to complain about others.

When a group of people came to the White Horse Temple, they saw that the grass markets outside the mountain gate were already in disarray, and there were utensils scattered in the square in front of the temple, which seemed to be used as a barricade. At the same time, the temple gate has been closed, and there are many monks shouting and shouting inside the temple wall.

Seeing this scene, the depression in Li Tong's heart was reduced, and it was replaced by a mixture of joy and anger. Unexpectedly, these monks of the White Horse Temple were quite bold, and they still had the courage to resist arrest when they saw this posture, which gave him a reason to kill and wash the White Horse Temple in blood.

You must know that it was his grandmother's direct instruction to disperse the monks of the White Horse Temple, and it was only in the morning that it was delivered to the Qianqi garrison camp in the form of a written order, and then Li Tong immediately summoned people and horses out of the city to do business.

In this process, Xue Huaiyi has been detained in the Great Inner Xianyuan, but the news has been transmitted back to the White Horse Temple one step ahead of the thousand horsemen, and these monks have already put up a posture to resist arrest. It can be seen that it has been leaked when the book order arrived at the Qianqi garrison camp at the latest, and it has been passed to the White Horse Temple.

Originally, Li Tong was still thinking about whether to exercise a little restraint, after all, his grandmother only asked him to disperse the monks of the White Horse Temple, not to kill the monks and destroy the Buddha.

The fierce reaction of these monks saved Li Tong a lot of trouble, snooping on the secret order in the forbidden area, closing the mountain gate to resist arrest, if he still wants to keep his hand, I am afraid that even his grandmother will blame him for being too weak.

He didn't do any pre-war mobilization, and as soon as he mentioned the reins of the horse in his hand, he said to Guo Yi Deng Wanzai: "Deng Guoyi commanded in battle, and immediately knocked on the mountain gate!" The monks in the temple dare to resist arrest with weapons, and there is no forgiveness for killing! ”

Deng Wansui nodded after hearing this, the flag in his hand ordered a move, the generals under his command suddenly set up a arrow formation, when rushing to the square outside the mountain gate, the team split into three points, the arrow blade 100 people still maintained the same state, the two wings behind the formation were opened to the left and right, riding horses around the temple wall, clasping the strings and shouting, ready to open the bow and shoot arrows at any time. The 100 people in the rear dismounted and filled in the front formation, cleared all kinds of barricades in the square, and kept a distance of one arrow from the arrow array and slowly approached forward.

Li Tong rode his horse to press the formation on the back road, and he didn't have much pride in his heart, but the opponent was too watery, and it was not even as good as the ordinary battle drills in the camp, and he could also observe many changes in the battle formation.

The monks of the White Horse Temple were also in a hurry to get the letter, although there were many obstacles, but they were disorganized, and soon the square in front of the mountain gate was cleared.

While clearing these obstacles, the thousands of cavalry soldiers in the infantry formation even set up two crash cars by the way, and after calling the door again and not responding, the soldiers pushed the crash car and crashed straight towards the mountain gate.

There were a few loud bangs, and the mountain gate was already crumbling, and at this time, there were monks on both sides of the wall, ready to throw earth and stones outside the wall. When Deng Wansui saw the head of the wall sticking out of the arrow, he immediately shouted: "Shoot!" ”

A series of wails rang out from inside the temple gate, followed by a loud bang, and the temple gate was slammed open.

"Enter the temple!"

The soldiers in the infantry took the mountain gate, and there was no time to clean up the many debris behind the doorway, but they just removed the door leaf and paved it into a pedal, and with Deng Wansui's shout, the main gate rushed into the temple with a prancing horse, and quickly interspersed back and forth between the monks who were retreating and running, driving them to different corners of the area.

At the same time, thousands of horsemen on both wings of the area who ran around the wall and blocked the area also fired their bows and slashed with their swords, forcing the monks who had escaped from the perimeter of the temple back to the temple.

The number of monks gathered in the White Horse Temple is really quite a lot, conservatively estimated at least more than 1,000 people, but although the quantity has risen, the quality is really so-so. As the temple gate was broken, thousands of horses rushed into the temple, Li Tong waited outside the temple for more than a quarter of an hour, Deng Wansui rode out of the horse, and when he got close to the front, he dismounted and walked into the front, and said: "His Royal Highness the King of the Dynasty, the monks in the temple have been detained in the courtyards, and all those who resist arrest with weapons have been killed!" ”

"Well done!"

Li Tong didn't plan to enter the temple to see how the battle was going, and he was not very curious about the facts of this battle, so he just waved his hand and said: "Strictly guard the gate of the temple on all sides, and report back to the department to immediately enter the temple to check and count, and lead out the monks and slaves!" ”

More than an hour after the messenger was dispatched, people from the imperial court were sent to this place, and the officials of the court, including Si Nong, entered. It took less than half an hour to break the temple and fix the chaos, but the inventory of all kinds of materials and personnel was inconclusive.

Li Tong led his troops to garrison here until late at night, and the Northern Ya sent the Yulin Army to receive the venue. Before leaving, he specially summoned the officials of Sinong Temple to inquire about the inventory of the personnel, only to learn that there were as many as 1,500 male monks and disciples in Ding, and some of them had not been counted and naturalized.

Hearing this number, Li Tong couldn't help but be speechless. A White Horse Temple is already like this, and when it comes to the rest of the temples in the Shendu, and even the whole world, I don't know how many people are hidden in this curling Buddha incense.

Li Tong has no aversion to Buddhism, as long as he can guide people to goodness, it is the truth. But for these monks who hold the Dharma and escape from the world, he is a little unpleasant, and he feels that he should add a rule to the degree, that is, castration.

Anyway, you don't need it, you can't be a monk and practice, you have no king and no father, you can decide the root of right and wrong, and you can worship the Buddha more devoutly, maybe you can be holy in this life, isn't it better?
