At the foot of Mount Tai, the Daiyue temple fair, that can be said to have a long history and a long history.
Dai temple was built in the Han Dynasty Emperor Wu period, for the ancestral garden of Mount Tai faith, the celebrities of the past dynasties mentioned poetry and writing here and left a lot of ink treasures, on the top of the gate shadow wall of a Dai temple engraved with the famous work of the poet saint Du Fu "Wangyue"
How is Dai Zongfu? Qi Lu Qingwei is gone. Creation Zhong Shenxiu, yin and yang cut dusk. Swing your chest and give birth to Zeng Yun, and decide to return to the bird. It will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains will be seen at a glance.
Dai Temple holds three temple fairs a year, and those two times are just ordinary lively things, only this is the first temple fair every year, which is really the grandest, and it can also be said to be a grand event.
This is because the first temple fair of each year is held on the 28th day of the third month of the lunar calendar, and it lasts for three consecutive days before it ends.
March 28 is the birthday of Emperor Dongyue.
Dongyue Emperor was the god of Mount Tai who was in charge of the area of Mount Tai by Qin Shi Huang, and it is conceivable how important this temple meeting is to the locals.
Therefore, on March 28 every year, not only the local people bring their children and daughters here to worship the Emperor Dongyue, praying that his old man will bless his family with peace and happiness, and live a harmonious and beautiful life.
Even the prefects of the previous state capitals will also lead officials of all sizes here to worship the Emperor Dongyue, praying that the Holy Emperor Dongyue can bless the wind and rain, the country and the people, and the ceremony can be said to be extremely grand.
The temple fair of Dai Temple arose in the period of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty and developed in the Tang Dynasty, which was greater than that of the Great Song Dynasty.
Especially after Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji ascended the throne, it was repeatedly Zen seal on Mount Tai of Dongyue, and for a time it was up and down, and the temple was built with splendor, just like the palace, and the holding of the temple fair was no longer plus, one session was more luxurious and extravagant than the other.
Every year on the 28th day of the third month of the lunar calendar, people who come here to worship are even more flocking, and various commercial activities are also booming.
In particular, the competition in the ring attracted the attention of the world. From every martial arts sect to every samurai, everyone wants to carry the big plaque of "Skill Suppression of Mount Tai" home.
The big plaque of "Skill Pressing Mount Tai" was hung on the door of the house, how majestic and majestic, how decent and decent.
It is a gold-lettered signboard, as long as the plaque is hung in front of the door, there is an endless stream of people who come to worship the teacher, and everyone who comes to worship can come empty-handed, which is really a day of gold.
Therefore, it is not only fame to fight on stage, but more importantly, there is a steady stream of wealth after fame, so the sects and samurai who think that they have two sons have gone to fight to the death, people die for money, and birds die for food!
When Lu Zhishen and Shi Qian squeezed under the ring, it was already crowded with people, and some people even arrived here last night, anyway, the weather at the end of March of the lunar calendar was not very cold.
When the sun moved to the middle of the hour, I saw two people dressed as state officials jumping into the ring, and "dong dong dong" sounded two cowhide drums at the same time, signaling the beginning of the ring competition.
With the sound of drums, there were two warriors dressed as big men carrying a plaque covered with red silk on the ring, the more than half a high plaque to the middle of the ring, "brush" a sound to open the red silk, only to see the four gilt characters on the plaque exposed, it is the imperial master Cai Jing Cai's elegant calligraphy mentioned "technology pressure Mount Tai",
Immediately afterwards, two young men came up holding large plates, also dressed as samurai, and the large plates held by these two young men each contained five hundred taels of silver, and they were also covered with red silk.
Behind the two teenagers, walking into the ring was a tall and tough old man with white beard and hair.
The old man came to the middle of the ring and stood in front of the plaque, clasped his hands into fists and bowed to the ring, and said modestly: "Everyone, the little old man's surname is Jin, his name is Jin Dali, and he is entrusted by the prefect of Tai'an Prefecture to be the host of this ring competition. The audience below applauded.
Jin vigorously waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone knows the rules of the ring, but there are also guests who come from afar who are not clear, the little old man is tired of repeating again, the rules of this year's ring competition are still the same as in previous years, swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, whips, hammers and hammers are used at will, and they are not worth their lives if they are killed. He glared at him and said, "Otherwise, don't blame the old man for being polite." ”
Shi Qian whispered to a middle-aged man beside him: "Uncle, who is that old man, why is he talking so horizontally." ”
The middle-aged man glanced at Shi Qian and said, "Little brother, as soon as you hear this, you know that you are here for the first time, and you must still be from other places." ”
Shi Qian patted his ass and said: "Yes, uncle, you really have good eyesight, you can see at a glance that I am a foreigner." ”
The middle-aged man stretched out his finger and pointed at the old man in the ring and said, "If you are a local, who doesn't know Old Man Jin." ”
Shi Qian said: "Uncle, so that old man is still a celebrity." ”
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Of course, this old man Le is not only a celebrity here, but also a famous person in the rivers and lakes, known as the god of Hercules." ”
Shi Qian grinned and said, "Famous, why haven't I heard of it?" ”
The middle-aged man was stunned and didn't pay attention to him anymore.
Lu Zhishen pulled Shi Qian for a moment and said: "Brother Shi Qian, this old man is not an ordinary person, I have heard of such a person as Hercules. ”
Shi Qian said: "So this old man may really have two hits, otherwise it would be impossible for the prefect to ask him to show up as this host." ”
While the two were talking, they only heard the strong god Jin Dali, shouting in a voice like a bell: "I announce that this year's ring competition has officially begun. ”
Thunderous applause rang out from top to bottom of the ring.
Before the applause fell, a twenty-four-five-year-old man jumped into the ring, clasped his fists and saluted the audience: "Jiang Ming in Xia Fengming Fort, waiting for your advice." ”
At this time, a seventeen, eighteen, or nineteen-year-old man jumped up from the audience, hugged his fist at Jiang Ming, and said, "Brother Jiang, I'm here to ask for advice." ”
Jiang Ming also said politely: "This little brother, please call your name." ”
The young man bared his teeth and smiled: "If you don't need to report your name and surname, you can win Brother Jiang and get a few applause from everyone, and if you defeat the little brother, you will leave." ”
Saying that stepping forward is a black tiger heart, Jiang Ming hurriedly raised his palms to greet him, the two of them fought together with fists and legs, and fought back and forth for more than a dozen faces, that young man was young, and Jiang Ming kicked him on the big stride because of his lack of experience in the face of the enemy, and he stumbled and almost didn't fall under the ring, Jiang Ming rushed over with an arrow, and reached out to pull the young man's belt, which made him avoid falling down.
The young man blushed and replied, hugging his fists and saying, "Thank you Brother Jiang for your mercy." With that, he turned and jumped out of the ring and into the crowd.
Jiang Ming retreated to the middle of the ring, and said with a fist again: "There is another one." ”
I only heard someone in the audience shouting, "Boy, I'm coming." With the shout, jumped a strong man in his early thirties.
The strong man jumped out of the ring and didn't speak, he stretched out his hand and pulled out a steel knife with a bang, and pointed it at Jiang Ming, "Immortal Guidance", the tip of the knife flashed with cold light, and went straight to Jiang Ming's throat.
Jiang Ming saw that this person came up to kill the killer, so he hurriedly dodged it, and pulled out two short swords from his waist with both hands, and fought with the strong man's sword with a "clank".
The two fought for more than 20 rounds, and the strong man couldn't dodge and was cut on his arm by Jiang Ming's short sword, so he had to throw down the knife and cover the wound and jump out of the ring.
Jiang Ming won two battles in a row and shouted triumphantly to the ring: "And the one who is not convinced, come up and fight!" ”
Someone in the crowd shouted: "Kid surnamed Jiang, don't be complacent yet, I'll meet your three-legged cat's kung fu." ”
The audience hurriedly made a way out, only to see a big black man staggering from the escalator to the ring, Jiang Ming put away a pair of short swords, clasped his fists with both hands and said, "This big brother, please fight by name." ”
The big black man also hugged his fists and said in return: "My name is Zhao Hu of the Black Iron Tower." The people of Zhaojiazhuang in the north of Mount Tai. ”
Jiang Ming said: "Brother Zhao, are the two of us facing each other with swords and guns, or are we fighting each other with fists and feet." ”
Black Tower Zhao Hu said with a smile: "Hehe, the knife and gun have no eyes, I'm afraid it's not good to hurt you, our buddies have no hatred and no injustice, why fight with your life, just play a few punches and kicks." ”
Jiang Ming almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard this: "Brother Zhao, this is a place to play." ”
Zhao Hu said: "Okay, it's okay not to play, kid watch boxing!" Before the words fell, a punch with the wind went straight to Jiang Ming's right eye.
Jiang Ming saw that this stupid big man was going to cover his eyes when he came up, and hurriedly raised his arm to check, Zhao Hu's punch smashed on Jiang Ming's arm, shaking Jiang Ming's mouth, and hurriedly took a step back, which was unloading the impact of the remaining strength, and barely gaining a foothold.
Black Iron Tower Zhao Hu grinned and said, "How is it, Brother Jiang, this taste is good." ”
Jiang Mingsheng blushed and didn't answer, stepped forward with his left leg, and kicked Zhao Hu's lower abdomen with a sudden move with his right foot.
Seeing Jiang Ming's leg kicking over, Zhao Hu of the Black Iron Tower didn't dodge or dodge, but just pinched his waist with both hands, and his belly suddenly bulged.
Jiang Ming kicked on the belly of Zhao Hu of the Black Iron Tower, and the sound of "bang" he heard seemed to kick on an iron plate, which shook Jiang Ming's feet painfully.
Jiang Ming was afraid that Zhao Hu would take advantage of the victory to pursue, so he hurriedly did a backflip and retreated.
Jiang Ming's second brother Jiang Wen, who was standing under the ring and watching the battle, saw that his little brother was not the opponent of Zhao Hu of the Black Tower, and shouted: "Jiang Ming, you step down first, and come to meet this Black Tower for your brother." (To be continued.) )
