"Yu Zhongde, you still dare to come!" Liu Yanniang listened to Yun Xuansu in the morning, and knew that Wang Duo suspected that the person in front of her was the murderer of her husband, so she couldn't wait to go up and fight hard, but was stopped by Yun Xuansu.

Yu Zhongde laughed and said, "What's the matter, this is my Yu family's house, why can't I come?" ”

Guo Hong saw that his appearance was also Zhou Zheng, with a medium build, a square face and a wide mouth, and a light beard, but he had long harbored evil thoughts, and his eyebrows and eyes were wrinkled together, which showed his treacherous appearance.

There are several people behind him who look similar and are also people with the surname Yu.

"As soon as Yu Chengzhao died, you came to bully orphans and widows, and your conscience was eaten by dogs?" Lu Zhizhen stepped forward and asked.

"Who are you, dare to meddle with the affairs of my Yu family, you must know that I have many good friends in the palace, be careful not to eat and walk around!"

Yu Zhongde wanted to push Lu Zhizhen away, but he didn't push it, and shouted with a glare: "Brothers, let's beat this person out!" ”

The people behind him were about to move, Lu Zhizhen sneered, and said: "We are registered Taoist priests, and we are here to spend our souls, and you dare to commit murder without permission in broad daylight, even if you are killed on the spot, you won't say anything when you get to the government, and you won't let me get out!" ”

The last three words of "get out" were shouted out, which shook the heads of the people on the other side!

Those people all retreated timidly, and Yu Zhongde bore the brunt of it, as if he had lost his soul, and walked in a circle and staggered outward.

Cao Shouzhen, Wang Dudu, and Hongdou clapped their hands together and said, "Senior Brother (Lu Lianshi) is so powerful!" ”

Yu Zhongde and the others felt dizzy when they went out, and they knelt on the side of the road and vomited, and then helped each other to walk away.

When Lu Zhizhen saw the harassing person leaving, he said: "It is still not advisable to delay the matter for too long, I am afraid that it will change later." ”

Yun Xuansu said: "Then you wait for my news." ”

After saying that, she took Wang Dudu to find Wang Duo together, and in the evening, she sent a servant to deliver a letter saying that Li Cong, the commander of Wannian County, had agreed, and would go to Qinglong Temple tomorrow to convene the Dharma on the spot.

The next morning, Guo Hong and others walked to Qinglong Temple.

The temple gate is open on the wall of the street facing the south of Xinchang Fang, and it is facing the main road of Yanxing Gate into the city, and people come and go very lively.

There are drainage ditches on both sides of the road, up to three meters wide, and wooden bridges pass through every other section, and between the ditches is the place where the daily traffic of cars, horses and pedestrians is concentrated.

Therefore, the 55-meter-wide side street, excluding the three-meter ditch on both sides and the tree-planting belt of about four meters (equal to the green belt of later generations), only the middle 30 meters is the real road.

Since there are no shops along the street, only the gate of the fang, the temple and the Taoist temple and the door of the officials above the third grade can be opened to the street, so the roadside is relatively neat, and the scenery is still good.

Pedestrians walk on both sides of the street, with cars and horses in the middle, coming and going, and they are on the right, which is the same as the traffic rules of later generations.

During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Luoyang ordered Yuan Zhi and Imperial Lieutenant Li Biao to quarrel, and finally Emperor Wei Xiaowen ruled: "Luoyang is my abundance, and I should go our separate ways." From now on, they can go their separate ways. ”

Since then, the road design of the capital has been divided into different lanes.

The merchants of Chang'an are concentrated in the east and west cities, so the pedestrians on the main street will not stop because they look at the goods, and they will also come and go separately, with the entrance on the left and the exit on the right.

This was evolved from the march of the army in the early Tang Dynasty, because the soldiers carried weapons on their right shoulders and had to give way to the left side to avoid collisions, and it was also the originator of modern traffic rules.

Since pedestrians, vehicles and horses are in the same direction and divide the lane, then only at the intersection need to give way, this rule is "cheap to avoid the expensive, less to avoid the old, light to avoid the heavy, to avoid the heavy", in which the light to avoid the heavy, is the light load to let the load heavy, to avoid, is out of the direction of the city to let the direction of the city.

If it is a street that the emperor had to pass through when traveling on Suzakumon Street, there is also an imperial road in the middle of the road, and it can only be crossed at the intersection with Hengjie, and it is forbidden to set foot in other places.

Yanxingmen Hengjie is one of the six main streets of Chang'an, but the emperor generally does not pass through here, so it is relatively narrow, and the main street with the imperial road is generally more than 100 meters.

"Senior brother, look, the saint is passing through the Jiacheng Hongqiao!" He Qiong also came today and said to Guo Hong.

Guo Hong followed her fingers and saw the two towers of Yanxing Gate on the east side towering, and through the open portal in the corridor between the city towers, a group of people could be vaguely seen carrying a person in bright yellow clothes through.

"This is going to the south of the Hibiscus Garden, the 22nd of next month is the Tianchang Festival, the palace is probably also preparing, this year is the fortyth birthday of the saint, it is said that there will be a big event." He Qiong continued.

"What is the Tencho Festival?" Xiao Xuanji asked.

"It is the birthday of the saint, Emperor Taizong called it the Nativity Festival, Xuanzong Kaiyuan was called the Qianqiu Festival, and the Tianbao year was renamed the Tianchang Festival, taking the meaning of the eternity." Yun Xuansu also arrived just in time.

In the Qing Dynasty, it was called Wanshou Festival.

"So what is a sandwich city...... Hongqiao? Xiao Xuanji asked again, she was a curious baby.

Yun Xuansu explained:

Emperor Xuanzong often went from Daming Palace to Xingqing Palace and Qujiangchi Furong Garden in the southwest corner of Chang'an City, in order not to let outsiders know his traces, he built another city wall on the inner side of the east city wall, called Jiacheng. When the royal road laid between the two city walls passed through the city gate, there were stone stairs (pedal road) up and down, and a closed corridor was built outside, so that the royal road passed through the castle gate tower, and the shape was like an arch bridge, which was the rainbow bridge. ”

Xiao Xuanji blinked and said, "I don't understand." ”

Guo Hong hugged her and explained: "It was the emperor who secretly walked between the two city walls, and was afraid that people would find out when he crossed the city gate, so he built a house-like corridor on it, so that no one could see the situation inside, and it was shaped like a rainbow." ”

Xuanji nodded his little head and said, "I understand, Xuanji likes senior brother." ”

Guo Hong smiled and pinched her face.

"The door above was open just now, and the saint showed his traces, won't he be angry?" Lu Zhizhen asked Yun Xuansu.

Yun Xuansu said: "The sage has a solid foundation now, and he is not walking on thin ice like he was three years ago. Moreover, the forbidden army in Chang'an is in the hands of eunuchs, and no one can plot against them, so it is not a big deal to show their traces. ”

While chatting, they waited under the big tree on the side of the road, and the prefectural honor guard finally came from the west.

Li Cong and Wang Duo turned over and dismounted together and saluted Yun Xuansu.

Yun Xuansu introduced Lu Zhizhen and others to the county order, and Li Cong learned that he was the eldest disciple of Liu Yuanjing in Hengshan, and he also looked at it differently.

Everyone passed through the wooden bridge and came to the gate of Qinglong Temple, and the monk learned that Li Cong had come to investigate the case, and while informing the abbot, he invited them to the place where the wooden tower was.

There has been a murder here, it has been sealed by the government, there is a special person on duty, and everything is not allowed to be moved.

When the abbot heard the news, he complained to Li Cong: "Amitabha, this wooden pagoda was ordered to be rebuilt by the imperial court, and now the work is suspended and delayed. ”

Li Cong said: "The abbot can rest assured, after today's inspection, he can resume work." ”

He knew that the other party was not alarmist, Emperor Xianzong once visited Qinglong Temple, and Emperor Dazhong was grateful for his deceased father, so that everything was restored to the old view, maybe one day he would come over to see if he was interested.

The thieves of Wannian County once inspected this place, but they didn't gain anything, and he came this time to go through the motions.

Li Cong said to the host again: "In addition to the last check today, I should also summon the soul of her husband at the invitation of the surviving person." The county has already brought a few Taoist priests to practice, and the great monk should not be surprised. ”

The abbot looked unhappy and said, "The monks of this temple can also chant for Yu Tanyue to summon spirits, how can they let the Taoist priest come in?" ”

Li Cong said: "The bitter master is a Taoist, this is her request, if the monk thinks that the county is not properly handled, he can go to the Zuojie meritorious envoy to tell a thing or two." ”

In ancient times, the east was left, so it was called the left green dragon and the right white tiger.

The Zuojie merit envoy is in charge of the monastery in Wannian County in Chang'an City, and Yang Qinyi, the eunuch Feilong envoy, is also in charge.

The abbot shook his head and smiled bitterly, it seems that this Li County Commander is iron-hearted, and he can't stop it today.

Even if he sues Yang Qinyi, he will not be able to respond to emergencies, and he will not stand up for such a trivial matter.

Lu Zhizhen and the others set up the temporary altar and put on Taoist robes to prepare for the practice.

At this time, a little monk ran over and whispered a few words to the abbot, and the abbot turned to Li Cong and said: "There is a great monk in this temple who heard that Yu Tanyue died tragically, and he also wants to chant the sutra to pray for the soul, I don't know what the Ming Mansion wants?" ”

Guo Honggang wanted to speak out against it, but Yun Xuansu took his hand and shook his head.

Li Cong smiled: "That's good, presumably Mrs. Liu also agrees, so please invite this senior monk over." ”

The little monk ran out to spread the word, and after a while, he led an old monk in white over.

"This is Master Yizhen." The host introduced.

"What is he doing here?" He Qiong asked in a low voice.

"This is a way to fight!" Guo Hong snorted and gritted his teeth in a low voice.

So the monk and the Taoist priest stood on one side outside the wooden pagoda, and between the two was the wood carving of King Bishamen and Vilampo!

The wooden statue of the Heavenly King of Bishamen is more than two people tall, and although it is charred, it still looks very majestic.

The statue of Vilampo next to it is only more than half a person high, and it is originally an integral part of the base of the statue of the Heavenly King, so there is a remnant of the pedestal behind it.

There are also several fragments of statues around the two wood carvings, all of which were previously enshrined in the temple.

On the opposite side, Yizhen was settled, and several disciples sat behind him, chanting together.

Lu Zhizhen also lined up the incense case and recited the incantation.

The cigarette curled, Guo Hong held the wooden sword, and Cao Shouzhen took the dust, as a Taoist boy to protect both sides.

Yun Xuansu helped Liu Yanniang to watch from a distance.

The county commander Li Cong, Wang Duo, the host of Qinglong Temple and others were behind them, and there were many onlookers around them, all of whom waited silently with bated breath.

Lu Zhizhen finished reading the early dynasty branch dictionaries, and began to take the empty words, followed by the spiritualist words.

Since it was a small-scale temporary altar, all the dictionaries were read by Lui Zhizhen alone.

This spiritualist word is a secret transmission of various factions, and it does not enter the orthodox Taoist rituals.

That is to say, the average Taoist priest from a professional class will not summon spirits without worshipping the major mountain gates.

"Chen Mou respectfully and sincerely, the Nine Qing Saints, the Three Cave Masters, the Ten Directions and the Three Realms, all the true spirits. Congratulations to Hong Ci, the cave returns to the abyss......"

The onlookers suddenly saw the smoke on the incense table gathering into a vague human shape, and they were all surprised!

Liu Yanniang couldn't take care of it in a trance, so she couldn't help but walk a few steps to the incense case and reach out to touch the fog man.

The human form also conjured up a face, which was somewhat similar to the dead Yu Chengzhao!

I saw that this phantom also stretched out his hand and touched Liu Yanniang's fingers.

"Shen Lang, who harmed you?!" Yan Niang cried.

The phantom opened his mouth and said, "The one who harmed me is among the onlookers!" ”

The onlookers looked at each other, and instantly distanced themselves from each other, and one of them turned around and ran away with a panicked face.

Wang Wu and the others had already blended into the crowd, and at this time, they went up and kicked the man to the ground, and several thieves rushed up to grab him and twisted him in front of Li Cong.

"I didn't expect it to be the master Gu Erlang!" Someone shouted.

The three painters knelt on the ground together, kowtowed to the phantom and said, "It's all Gu Er's doing, I can't wait, Brother Yu don't blame!" ”

Liu Yanniang wanted to catch the phantom, but she stretched out her hand but was empty, she cried: "Shen Lang, don't leave me alone!" I shouldn't have let you come to Chang'an......"

The phantom said: "Shen will go, he can win Yan Niang's favor, and he has no regrets in this life!" ”

With that, the shadow faded away and turned into a cigarette.

Yan Niang cried loudly, and shouted: "Return my husband's life!" Then he turned around and pounced on Gu Erlang and bit him, grabbing him so that his face was covered with blood.

Gu Er screamed miserably, but the thief next to him didn't stop it, he shouted in a hurry: "I have no grievances with Yu Chengzhao, they were all instructed by Yu Zhongde!" ”

The crowd was in an uproar.

Li Cong frowned, and whispered to Wang Duo: "This matter is a bit troublesome, Yu Zhongde has the support of the palace eunuchs behind him, and he needs to have all the human and material evidence, otherwise he will be bitten back and into the bone!" ”

Wang Duo said: "It doesn't matter, he relies on the descendants of Liang Shouqian, and His Majesty is looking for his mistakes." ”

Li Cong was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "Really?" ”

He immediately asked Yan Niang to pull away and said to Gu Er: "You said that Yu Zhongde instructed you, what are the credentials?" ”

Gu Er was just about to speak, but Yizhen, who had been in a steady position, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Duh! Everything is false, where are there any ghosts, some tricks that don't get started! ”

At this time, Lu Zhizhen had already received the ritual and inserted the wooden sword back into the scabbard held by Guo Hong.

He turned around and saw Yoshijin rushing towards him, and hurriedly met him with both palms.

The two collided with a bang, their palms met, and the surrounding air currents all exploded, and each other's robes flew and hunted.

Cao Shouzhen was stimulated by the qi machine and took two steps back before standing still, putting on a defensive posture.

Guo Hong didn't move half a step, his brows twisted slightly.

Lu Zhizhen was beaten to the point that his feet slipped five feet before he stopped, looked down, and saw that his palms were pierced, and the bleeding had turned black, so he hurriedly took out the pill and swallowed the suppression poison, and scolded: "What a bald donkey, he actually cheated!" ”

Guo Hong's black and white arms shook and punched out.

Pretending to be righteous and really interpreting Quanyi was afraid in his heart, but he had newly practiced the Blood Glass Demon Skill, and he was lucky, so he stared at his eyebrows and punched viciously.

He hid a stinger between his fingers, and Lu Zhizhen was plotted by this just now.

only heard a bang, and Shi Quanyi's body shook before he stabilized his figure.

Guo Hong wondered in his heart, this demon has regressed a lot in martial arts compared to when he was in Yuezhou, is this the price of being reborn with a broken arm?

In the past, it was only a multi-person siege to gain the upper hand, but now it seems that it is not as good as itself.

He didn't have the time to think about it, so he hurried up and had to fight again.

Shi Quanyi saw that Yun Xuansu, Cao Shouzhen and others were rushing over, and he was scared, but his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he was determined and fought with Guo Hong.

The monks of Qinglong Temple were in a commotion, and the host shouted: "What do you want to do? ”

Guo Hong also saw Yun Xuansu and others coming to help, he felt that Yizhen's martial arts were not as good as his own, and he didn't want to have a reputation for winning in the public, so he shouted: "You don't have to come over, I can deal with it alone!" ”

He fought fast all the way, blasting out dozens of punches, and his fists did not leave the opponent's chest and abdomen!

Although Shi Quanyi also has some attainments in Shaolin boxing, it is still far from the senior brother, and the new achievements of the blood glaze are not proficient, and dozens of punches can't be stopped, and the nose and face are swollen after being beaten, and he flew out with a bang, and hit the wood carving of the king of Bishamen, and it was hung on it!

Guo Hong followed with a quick stride, jumped up, grabbed Shi Quanyi's hem and put it on the shoulder of the wood carving, stomped on his feet, and rushed into the air.

He shouted: "This punch is for the people who died in Yuezhou!" ”

Immediately rose to the highest place, the strength was exhausted, like a goshawk swooping down, and the right palm roared in front of it!

Guo Hong's palm was about to hit the top of his head, and Shi Quanyi shouted in fright: "Spare your life!" ”

At this time, he didn't care about pretending, and used his own original voice.

"Keep people under the fist!"

Yun Xuansu heard something strange and hurriedly shouted.

"Stop!" On the side, Wang Duo and the county commander Li Cong also shouted, they were court officials, how could they see someone committing murder in front of them and be indifferent?

Guo Hong remembered Li Fei's real advice, and snorted coldly in his heart, secretly saying that you are cheap!

He changed his palm to grasp, supported Shi Quanyi's bald head with one hand, turned it over with his strength, and fell to the broken neck of the king wood carving to stand, feeling that there seemed to be something more in his hand, and when he lifted it up, it turned out to be a human skin ~ mask!

There was an uproar below.

Someone immediately recognized the impostor as the second apprentice of Yizhen, Shi Quanyi.

The presiding officer who was supposed to come out of the theory was also a little hesitant, and he didn't know why this situation happened.

Shi Quanyi looked around, his eyes rolling wildly, as if searching for something.

"Get him down!"

Li Cong immediately ordered, and several thieves hesitated to lean over, they all saw Shi Quanyi's strong martial arts just now, and they couldn't help but look at the top of the wood carving with pleading eyes.

Guo Hong knew that these people wanted to restrain the false and the true, and then hand it over to them.

He bent down and grabbed Shi Quanyi's neck and lifted the whole person up.

Of course, Shi Quanyi refused to be restrained, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and he turned around and smashed his opponent with a fist with a stinger.

Guo Hong actually hasn't relieved his anger yet, just waiting for him to fight back.

At this time, he deliberately received a punch in his left chest, his chest jumped like a drum, his muscles were tense and hard as a rock, and he bent the stinger hard!

Then he lifted Shi Quanyi above his head, picked it up and fell down heavily, smashing it on the shoulder of the wood carving!

Rumble!

The wood carving couldn't stand the force, and the chest of the upper body exploded, forming a depression, stirring up debris and smoke, and the crowd retreated one after another.

When the smoke and dust dissipated, Shi Quanyi lay in the pit of the section of the chest of the wood carving, relying on his bloody glass magic skills to be fine.

There was a lot of talk all around.

After the last fight in Yuezhou, Guo Hong knew that the people who practiced magic skills were very resistant to beating, and he hit dozens of punches at that time, and "Yizhen" spat blood from his mouth, but he could still block it.

He felt the hatred in his heart lessen slightly, and struck four times, hitting the cover door that Yun Xuansu had pointed out at the beginning.

Shi Quanyi immediately screamed loudly, and the moment his magic skills were abolished, the pain of hundreds of punches rushed over!

Guo Hong lifted him up and threw him down, and several thieves were about to go up and arrest him.

The two shoulders of the wood carving are still there, and the chest was originally hollow, but just now Guo Hong just smashed the two layers of wooden planks with Shi Quanyi.

Something inside was shining, Guo Hong reached out to take it, and heard Yun Xuansu shouting: "Be careful!" ”
