Li Bao heard the voice and looked back, I'll go, how did this old bald donkey come here. But a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "Yo, isn't this Master Yuanren of the Singing Temple, how did you come here?" ”

Yuanren is the host of the Singing Temple of Daming Palace, and he and Mingde of Da'anguo Temple came to Li Bao to buy the copyright of "Journey to the West".

After so many years, Yuanren's old state has appeared, but his kind eyes are more precious and solemn now. Believers in the past saluted him. He smiled, "The king hasn't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm?" ”

Li Baoxin said: You old bald donkey is good at pretending, the Yellow Nest thief army attacked the city a few years ago, and I didn't see you so calm and relaxed when my brother let you out of the city.

But there is no need to embarrass Yuanren at this time, after all, he and Li Bao have no conflict of interest, so Li Bao squinted and smiled: "Thanks to the master's blessing, it has always been good to be alone." After the master left Beijing, he stayed in Xi? ”

Yuanren nodded and replied: "Yes, the old man and Master Chengguang, the presiding officer of the Jinghui Temple, are old friends, and in order to avoid the fighting and killing in the world, the old man has to take refuge with his old friend. Just now the old man heard the monk in the hall say that there is a noble man who is very generous, and the old man is curious, so he comes out to take a look, but he doesn't want to be an old man. It is really gratifying to meet the old acquaintance in another country! ”

Li Bao slandered in his heart: Your sister, how far is this, and you are in a foreign country? Besides, you heard that there is a local tyrant here in the guest monk, you must want to fool some more money when you chase after you, right? He thought so in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face.

Li Bao thought that Zheng Yan should be almost there, so he didn't want to grind his teeth with this old monk anymore, so he was going to say goodbye, but when he was about to say goodbye, Yuan Ren said: "There is also an old man of the king who is avoiding the army here with the old man, do you want to see the king?" ”

Li Bao listened to Yuanren's words and asked, "The old man that the master said is not the master Mingde of Da'anguo Temple?" ”

Yuanren laughed, "The king is really smart, yes, the younger brother Mingde is also here, but the old man that the old man said is not him, why don't the king go to the back of the temple with the old man to meet the old man?" ”

Li Bao was a little hesitant, after all, he came out today to meet the beauty, but this old monk has been making a mystery for so long, he is really a little curious, who will hide the military disaster with him here?

In the end, Li Bao instructed Hu Sanbao to wait for Zheng Yan here, and he took his entourage to follow the old monk to the back of the temple to see who was still here.

Although Yuanren is old, his body is still healthy, and he walks quickly, so it can be seen that this old monk is exercising well in this spiritual mountain.

Li Baojiu exercised naturally not to fall behind him, the group followed the old monk, through the corridor and walked without much effort to come to the back door of the temple, it turned out that there were some single-family houses behind the temple.

The houses are all wooden structures, very delicate, with bright red columns, and Buddhist murals on the walls of the corridors. After a short time, he came to a chic single-family house, Yuanren pointed to the courtyard door and said, "The old man is in the courtyard, please come in." ”

Li Bao heard some shouting sounds in the courtyard outside the door, and gradually understood in his heart who the old man Yuanren was talking about, so he didn't delay, went straight to the courtyard gate, and pushed it casually, the courtyard gate was wide open, and the scenery in the courtyard was clear at a glance.

This is a wide courtyard, there are two or three hundred people in the courtyard are forming a large circle, there are three people in the circle, the most conspicuous of which is a big man, his height is almost two meters tall, in ancient times when the height was generally not high, this man's height is too tall.

In addition, this man is not only tall, he is also quite strong, and his body is still a little bloated in the spring. Looking at his size, he has more than two hundred and thirty or forty pounds. Bronze skin, Chinese face, and a pair of sword eyebrows are very heroic.

Li Bao's height is now about one meter seven or eight, but he is still a head shorter than that man. The man saw Li Bao standing at the door, his face was happy, and he shouted loudly: "This, isn't this Liulangjun, what kind of fragrant wind blew you here?" ”

Li Bao listened to the man's words, and he immediately laughed, "Oh, Meng Wanying, you old boy is hiding here so freely, if you hadn't met Yuanren Zen Master today, I wouldn't have known that you were here." ”

Meng Wanying is a wrestling expert who has gone through the three dynasties of Tang Yizong, Xizong and Zhaozong, and has been dedicated to wrestling for decades.

Meng Wanying is not only good at wrestling, but also willing to teach people and teach wrestling skills, and he is an artist who has left a name in history like the stone boar. Known as the Wuling boy in history, Youyan is a hero, and there are hundreds of people who follow each other.

In the Tang Dynasty, someone wrote a book "Wrestling Records", in which Meng Wanying's deeds and wrestling skills were described in detail. Li Bao and Meng Wanying's acquaintance and acquaintance were completely for the purpose of having fun with Emperor Li Yi, and there were three favorite sports of the Tang Dynasty and emperors, polo, cornering, and hunting.

Meng Wanying's good grades naturally won the emperor's love, Li Bao is also ingenious, and he is the best at tricking things, so he is also a celebrity in front of the emperor.

On that day, the Huangchao thieves attacked the city, and Li Bao was riddled with everything, so he didn't take into account Meng Wanying, and didn't want him to follow the old monk Yuanren here.

However, since we meet this time, we must have a good reminiscence, but Li Bao also made an abacus in his heart, this Meng Wanying is a famous wrestler, if he is sent to Weizhou to be a coach, wouldn't it be more beautiful? So Li Bao was even more affectionate to Meng Wanying.

Meng Wanying walked quickly to the gate and took Li Bao's hand to the field, and said to the people beside him: "This is the most famous Ji Wang Liulangjun in our Chang'an City, you wait to meet the king as soon as possible." ”

Immediately, a circle of people greeted Li Bao and saluted Wen'an, Li Bao smiled and said, "All the strong men, please hurry up, most of us are old acquaintances, don't be polite!" ”

After everyone got up together, they formed a circle again, and Meng Wanying didn't see it, and continued: "A certain apprentice is being trained, the king, please give me some pointers on the side, how about it?" ”

Li Bao smiled and said, "How dare you, how dare you." It's okay to watch alone, if you let Lone point out, isn't this just a smile and generosity? Lone didn't dare to say that he was fighting in front of Meng Wanying, and he was selling literature in front of Confucius. ”

Everyone was amused by Li Bao's words, and said in their hearts: This little prince is quite interesting. Meng Wanying didn't shirk, he said to the two men in the field: "Tang Qi, Yi San, you two will come to the last game, let the king see a certain kind of craftsmanship." ”

Meng Wanying said, someone outside the circle had already beaten the drum, Tang Qilang and Wang Wulang tidied up their clothes and pants and walked towards the field. At this time, the kakutoshi was very similar to the sumo wrestling of the island countries in later generations, but the difference was that the kakutoshi players in the Tang Dynasty were not as fat as the island players of later generations.

In the Tang Dynasty, the wrestling was very skillful and had special know-how, and the sumo wrestling of later generations was completely reduced to a game of power confrontation, and it has to be said that the sumo wrestling of the island country has completely learned to go out of shape.

As soon as Tang Qi and Yi San handed it over, the audience outside the circle shouted in unison to help their prestige. Li Bao stood in the crowd and was also infected, and shouted loudly.

The two sides in the field come and go, and they fight quickly, because they are from the same school, so their skills are not much different, the only difference is the weight of the two, Tang Qi is stronger, but Yi San is thinner, but more flexible.

Tang Qi was not durable to fight for a long time, but Yi San was very alert, he saw the right time, found Tang Qi's omission, grabbed Tang Qi's arm, carried it on his shoulder, and then exerted his strength, carrying the strong Tang Qi over his shoulder in one fell swoop, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Everyone cheered in unison, and Li Bao was even more enjoyable, I hadn't seen such a wonderful corner play for a long time. He took out a few gold leaves from his purse, took Yi San's hand, and put the gold leaves in his hand. Then he said: "The strong man is good at skills, I don't know the name of the high surname?" ”

Yi San touched his forehead, and then said loudly: "A certain name is Yi Wuji, the third in the family, and the king just calls a certain Yi San." ”

Li Bao smiled, "Yi Wuji is good, good name!" ”

Yi Wuji held the gold leaf given by Li Bao in his hand, his face turned a little red, he didn't know what to do, turned his head to look at his master, Meng Wanying smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "The king has rewarded you, and you don't thank you for accepting it." ”

Yi Wuji listened to his master's words, immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to Li Bao, and said, "Thank you for the king's reward." ”

Li Bao took out a gold leaf from his purse and handed it to Tang Qi, and said to him: "Tang Qilang is not bad, do a good job!" ”

Li Bao made a generous hand, and the eyes of the people around him were bright, he didn't care at all, and then took Meng Wanying's hand and said: "There is one thing to ask for, I don't know if everyone can agree?" ”

Meng Wanying said with a smile: "The king has something to say, don't make those falsehoods. ”

"Oh, that's the case, this Fengxiang Mansion is too close to Chang'an, the Huangchao thief will come back soon, since everyone doesn't want to cause trouble alone, why don't you take your apprentices to the lonely Weizhou, now there are many people in Weizhou City and it's safe, how about everyone?"

Meng Wanying pondered for a while, he raised his head and said to the people present: "What the king said is exactly what he thinks, I have long heard that the king has taken root in Weizhou, and I admire the king's wisdom and ingenuity the most, and I have long planned to go to Weizhou to join the king, I think so, I don't know if you are willing?" If you don't want to, you can leave on your own, and you won't stop you. ”

Most of them are Meng Wanying's apprentices, most of them are idle men in Chang'an City, and they have nothing to do, so they will go to worship Meng Wanying as a teacher, thinking that they can be a master in the future, and they can also be as famous as Meng Wanying, and they will make a lot of money by the way.

But now that the Huangchao thieves are in chaos, Chang'an will not be able to go back for a while and a half, and it is not safe to stay in Fengxiang, if they don't follow the master to Weizhou, where else can they go? So everyone replied in unison: "I am willing to follow the master to Weizhou." ”

Li Bao listened to everyone's answers, his heart was happy, and he wanted to say a few more words to mobilize the atmosphere. I don't want the old monk Yuanren to interject: "The king, the old man and his junior brother also want to go to Weizhou. ”

Li Bao smiled and said, "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome." But before you go to Weizhou again, Master Yuanren had better bring all the temple property you have accumulated. ”

Hearing this, a trace of sorrow and fear flashed on Master Yuanren's kind face.
