Zhao Ziying eagerly broke into the room and asked, "Has Chen Chuan been here?" ”

Seeing that she was so eager, and then thinking of Zhao Ziying's performance when she went to Bianjing, Ma Yun estimated that she had a grudge against the Huashan faction, so he nodded, just wanting to persuade her. Zhao Ziying said again: "Then why did he leave again?" ”

Ma Yun and the three knew that Chen Chuan was scared away by Zhao Ziying, but they didn't want to say it clearly. Ma Yun then smiled and said: "This Chen Chuan's kung fu is so high." Guo Rong and Zhao Kuangyin nodded hurriedly, and echoed: "Yes, yes, so high, so high." "I don't think it's too blunt to shift this topic.

Zhao Ziying didn't even see Chen Chuan's figure, sighed slightly, and said, "Originally, I wanted to thank him, by the way, I was asking him to hang up?" ”

Chen Chuan's actions clearly explained an idiom to Ma Yun and the three - frightened. Hearing Zhao Ziying say this at this time, she couldn't help but be curious again, and Zhao Kuangyin said, "Sister, do you know this person?" ”

Zhao Ziying nodded and said: "This person is not only quite high in martial arts, he is funny, not very dignified, and he also likes to mix and talk nonsense, so I have always been unaccustomed to him." Two months ago, I had fought with him, and he gave me a hexagram before he ran away. As he spoke, he glanced at Ma Yun, his face was faintly red, and he stopped talking.

Guo Rong and Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Ziying's expression and vaguely guessed. Ma Yun is the only one who is "only in this mountain", not only unaware, but also asked curiously: "How did he say that he is not spiritual?" ”

Zhao Ziying glanced at Ma Yun, turned her head to the outside and said, "Jing Niang, let's come and sit here, where are the Guo officials and the others." "I didn't talk about it anymore, but went to greet Zhao Jingniang, Qiao Niang, and Zhao Tong. Zhao Tong has been chasing Qiao Niang very hard recently, to the extent that he is following the same steps, and he actually followed them to worship Guanyin.

Guo Rong and Zhao Kuangyin looked at Ma Yun and Zhao Ziying with a smile. Seeing their laughing expressions, Ma Yun's heart moved, and he no longer mentioned the matter of the hexagram, and said, "Ziying, didn't you go to the Guanyin Palace?" Why did you come back so soon? ”

Zhao Ziying said: "We walked halfway, and we heard that a few days ago, Yang Guangyuan took advantage of the Khitan invasion and also rebelled against the imperial court, but he had just been pacified by Li Shouzhen, and the battle to defend the city was extremely difficult that day, and Yang Guangyuan lacked materials to defend the city, so he demolished this Guanyin Temple. ”

Ma Yun couldn't help but sigh with emotion, there is another monument missing.

Zhao Tong next to him said: "If you talk about historical sites, there is a place in Yanzhou City that is very famous." ”

Qiao Niang didn't change her mind, and said happily: "What is the place?" Is it fun? ”

Seeing Qiao Niang's smile like a flower, half of Zhao Tong's body seemed to be crispy, and he said in a panic: "It's the Temple of Confucius." ”

Qiao Niang's interest immediately decreased a lot, and she muttered: "It turned out to be the temple of Confucius, what's so fun about this." ”

Guo Rong was quite moved, and said: "Now that the martial artists are in charge, the feudal towns are divided, benevolence and righteousness are not good, and the credibility is not good. ”

Ma Yun has seen photos of the ceremony of worshiping the Confucian Temple in modern times, and said: "Worship Confucius, the etiquette is complicated, and we don't know much about it, will it make jokes." ”

Zhao Tong said with a smile: "This ritual is not complicated, it is nothing more than a "release ceremony", that is, in the festival, music, dance, and sacrifice such as animals and wine are presented to express reverence for the holy master. Nowadays, morality is degraded, benevolence and righteousness are not good, and there has been no worship for many years, whether it is the court or the locality. It's a good story that we're going to worship the hole now. ”

Guo Rong also said: "There is a way that "gentlemen are frank and, and villains are often relatives." "We have no distracting thoughts, we will share the memory of the ancestors, chase the distance and be cautious, even if there are some mistakes, others will not laugh at them."

Zhao Kuangyin said on the side: "I heard from my husband that this sacrifice is a big event, and it is also our glory to be able to worship the saint." ”

Zhao Ziying said on the side: "If you sacrifice Kong, the time is not right now, right?" ”

Everyone was stunned, and Guo Rong said: "It doesn't matter, our sacrifice to Confucius is not sent by the imperial court, but voluntary." It's better to hit the day than to choose a day, we will prepare the items tomorrow, and by the way, we will trouble Mr. Zhao, write an article, and we will pay tribute to it. ”

At that moment, everyone applauded in unison. Guo Rong assigned tasks at the moment and prepared to go.

Early the next morning, after Ma Yun and others burned incense and bathed, they brought up the sacrificial items and went straight to the Yanzhou Confucius Temple. This Confucian temple is in Xiamapo, 30 miles outside the east gate of Yanzhou, but it is not the Confucian temple in Qufu. Since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, respect Confucianism, after the dismissal of a hundred schools, all over the country have built large and small Confucian temples, to the time of the five dynasties, the martial arts are in power, the war has been chaotic, and the Confucian temples in the north have been dilapidated.

Not long after, Ma Yun and his entourage had already come to Xiamapo, where the trees were extremely lush and lush, and the Confucian Temple was hidden in it. Even the temples of the Holy Prophet were not spared. From a distance, the mountain gate was long gone, and most of the surrounding earthen walls had collapsed. The inside of the Confucian Temple is very spacious, and there are faint voices in the main hall. Ma Yun looked up, there were more than 10 yellow-skinned, ragged people living inside, maybe there were very few people here, those who were as thin as firewood, staring at Ma Yun with frightened eyes. Ma Yun couldn't help but think of the refugees in the African refugee camps, and his heart couldn't help but be heavy.

Those people were so frightened that they seemed to want to flee, Ma Yun took a step forward and said, "Don't panic, everyone, we are just here to worship the Holy Master, and we have no other meaning." ”

Ma Yun glanced at Guo Rong and Zhao Kuangyin, and said, "Brother Yi, why don't we give them some wine and meat first, how about it?" ”

Guo Rong nodded and said, "This is a good deed, and if you think that Sage Kong will not blame us." As he spoke, he instructed the people to distribute the wine and meat to the people, and the people took the wine and meat with puzzled expressions, and devoured them without saying anything. Ma Yun sighed: "The war is suitable for the world to be peaceful, I hate to be able to do business in the world, there are 10,000 loads of rice grain, and it is easy to distribute it to the people." ”

Guo Rong patted Ma Yun on the shoulder and said, "It's better for us to swear in front of Sage Kong, never abandon or leave, work together in the world, and return the people to live and work in peace and contentment." ”

Zhao Kuangyin next to him applauded loudly. Ma Yun also said: "Then we will work together with one heart and one mind." ”

The memorial began, and after Ma Yun and others bowed three times and bowed nine times, Zhao Tong slowly recited: "The emperor and the queen of heaven are depressed; The Chinese family is prosperous in the East. The land is far away and the river is wide, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River; Civilization is created, five emperors and three emperors. Su Si Yuxiu, Nishan Lingguang; The saint was born and turned into all directions. Lixin is close to the people, six arts and five constants; Derby three lights, a hundred kings of etiquette. Its few are also cheap, and they are multi-capable; Faith and good ancient, narration and completion. "Music" is used for harmony and poetry; "Rites" is in a clear style, and "Books" is widely heard. "Spring and Autumn" asserts things, and speaks slightly; "Yi" is simple, and the reason is too clear. . . ”
