That night, the fire in the Tallinn of the White Horse Temple was blazing, reflecting the flickering light and darkness of the floating slaughter, and the red light was faint, which was spectacular.

Master Sanshan, the former abbot of the White Horse Temple, looked at the direction of Tallinn from a distance, clasped his hands together, and said bitterly: "Amitabha, these people desecrate the place where the ancestors and monks of our temple send their spirits, and they are guilty of great sins, and they are deeply sinful!" ”

There was a tall fire in Tallinn, and the nearby felled wood was piled on top of it, and it burned with a crackling sound. Surrounded by mats of cattailed grass, and soft cushions were placed on top of the mats, a group of bald monks sat on the futon, shouting and shouting, and were elated.

Next to the big pile of fire in the middle, there are several pits dug in the pit, and the fire is also burning in the pit, but the pit is not firewood, but the smokeless animal charcoal on the haode, and the mutton and dog meat are roasted on the top, which are slaughtered whole, washed and cleaned on the shelf, and various condiments are smeared while roasting, and there is a strong aroma coming out from afar.

A turbidity Taoist grabbed a dog's leg, recited "Mida Buddha", gnawed on dog meat, said "Supreme Taiyi Tianzun", took a sip of wine, and the speed of eating meat and drinking wine was several times faster than others.

Xue Huaiyi sat in the chief, the late autumn was very cool, but in front of a huge fire, the heat was blowing in his face, making people's bodies hot, so he still untied his monk's robe and revealed his chest. This guy is probably a bit exhibitionist.,I like to show off his toned muscles when there's nothing to do.。

The firelight reflected his bald head and chest red, and his face couldn't hide the joy: "Come on, come on, let's have another drink." Today, our White Horse Temple is in front of the Queen of Heaven, Chinese and foreign envoys, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, which can be regarded as a big face. Sumo tournaments. It has been won by Princess Taiping's Mansion for three consecutive years, but this year it has returned to the Sprinkle family, hahaha......"

Xue Huaiyi said triumphantly: "Although we lost Keju, our White Horse Temple never participated in the competition in previous years, and this year it was the first time to participate, how about it?" What do you think! Seventeen Lang poured five balls in a row. The skills are overwhelming, and even the divas are full of praise, snatching all the demeanor of their group of girls. We call this glory even though defeated! That's right, even though it's defeated, it's still glorious! ”

Xue Huaiyi blurted out an idiom. I was even happier in my heart, and all the monks immediately complimented them together, and the left and right were just saying some sycophants such as Xue Shi's wisdom and knowledge, Xue Shi's wisdom and martial arts, Xue Huaiyi was happy to hear it, and he did it first, drank a large glass of wine, and said proudly: "

A certain person who has led soldiers and fought in battles once fought so hard that he fled from the wind! This soldier pays attention to an order and prohibits the soldiers. For those who are handsome, pay attention to a clear reward and punishment. Now, our White Horse Temple has greatly shown its face, won the favor of the queen of heaven, and a certain heart is also very happy. Those who have meritorious service should be rewarded. ”

When everyone heard this, the noise stopped, and everyone stared at Xue Huaiyi, Xue Huaiyi has always been generous, and now he is so happy. This reward must be extremely rich.

I only heard Xue Huaiyi say: "Sumo, nineteen won the first place for a certain one, and seventeen won the second." Keju, although we lost, but to talk about the limelight, no one can compare to us, although we are still honored, this game, but seventeen for us to earn glory. So, seventeen, nineteen! ”

Yang Fan and Chu Yangge glanced at each other, hugged their fists together and said, "Abbot!" ”

Xue Huaiyi said: "In Beijing, there are a few houses, which are usually idle, and occasionally rent them to officials or business dealers who go to Beijing for business, and earn those two small money, and they are not in our eyes. The two of you, one person and one house! ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Sha Zhi Xing sent the two house deeds over.

Yang Fan and Chu Crazy Song exclaimed: "Abbot, this gift is too heavy!" ”…,

Xue Huaiyi waved his hand and said, "Hehe! The Sprinkle family wants to reward you, the gift is too light, as the Sprinkle family, how can you get it. Take it, and every one of the others......"

Hongliu hurriedly said: "Abbot! You have also seen that Xie Xiaoman, who is like a dragon on the field, is not easy to deal with, and the disciple used his strength to entangle her, otherwise the seventeenth brother may not be able to score five goals in a row so easily......"

Xue Huaiyi glared at him and scolded with a smile: "If you sprinkle your parents' eyes, you can naturally see it, and you don't need to show your merits." The rest of you, 100,000 yuan each, Hongliu, Hongyi, the two of you, 150,000 yuan each, hahahaha......"

The One Candle Daoist swallowed his saliva and asked curtly, "Abbot, where is the money?" ”

Xue Huaiyi glared and said, "With so much money, how can the Sprinkle family move over?" Early tomorrow morning, you will go to see the monk of Sanshan and allocate the incense money from the temple! ”

From afar, looking at the firelight of Tallinn, smelling the smell of meat, Master Sanshan, who sighed for a long time, suddenly sneezed, and a young monk next to him hurriedly said: "Master, the weather is cold, go back and rest early." ”

The monk of the three mountains sighed and walked to the meditation room dejectedly.

In Tallinn, Yang Fan took a bite of the steaming, scorched and tender dog meat, and said to Xue Huaiyi: "Abbot, today's sumo, we took the lead, and the juju strategy was appropriate, and we also stole the limelight." But tomorrow's bow may not be as expected. The forbidden army is the strongest team in our Datang, and it was still defeated in previous years. And we have fallen behind in the competition with the forbidden army. ”

Xue Huaiyi waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say it, the Sprinkle family understands." There are a total of three competitions, and the Sprinkle family has won two scenes, which is enough! haha, tomorrow's tenth, it is the Tubo people who won, and others will not be majestic. Don't worry, even if you go to fight tomorrow, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, this is the reason why this celebration banquet was set up today. ”

Yang Fan and Chu Tiange listened to it, and secretly sighed, secretly happy. If Xue Huaiyi wants them to take the limelight again one day, it will be difficult for some strongmen. In case Xue Huaiyi used this as an excuse to prevent them from entering the forbidden army, it would be difficult for Chu Yangge to realize his lifelong dream, and it would be difficult for Yang Fan to get close to Qiu Shenji.

At the moment, everyone put down their worries and drank happily, because tomorrow's victory or defeat is no longer in mind, and everyone does not limit the amount of alcohol. Especially Chu Yange, once his wish for several years was realized, he was even more happy.

Only Yang Fan lowered his head and thought to himself: "Tomorrow, joining the forbidden army is already a sure thing, and it is not difficult to get close to Qiu Shenji." However, Miao Shenke's whereabouts still need to be learned by Shangguan Wan'er. How can I ask her about the whereabouts of Miao Shenke?

In recent days, although she has frequently entered the palace, it is difficult to have contact with her, and with her status, it is really difficult to contact her alone. When I join the forbidden army, I won't have a chance to enter the palace again, I can't say, I have to find a chance to start as soon as possible......"

On the third day of Shangyuan, the emperor and the empress dowager led the palace concubines, Chinese and foreign envoys, and hundreds of civil and military officials to drive the camp of the Longwu army to watch the bowing contest here.

The Longwu Army is the only all-cavalry unit in the forbidden army, and the requirements for equestrianism are very high, so the Longwu Army has the most soldiers who are good at bowing, and it also has the largest bowing field in Luoyang.

However, the members of the forbidden army were selected from the best of the forbidden army, and most of those people were not from the Longwu army. Those who served as generals in other forbidden army ranks, naturally had no fewer opportunities to ride horses than the Long Wu Army, and they had more time to bow down, so Ji Shu was better than most people in the Long Wu Army.

On the court, there is a goal at each end, which is made of wooden frames, five feet apart, much smaller than modern goals, and does not need to be guarded. …,

The game is divided into six quarters, each session uses a letter incense, about ten minutes now, and each session of the game has to change venues. Because of the fierce competition, one or two horses have to support the whole race, and then the horsepower will inevitably be tired, which will affect the performance of the players, so the horses must be changed in every race.

On the high platform of the generals of the forbidden army to inspect the three armies, it naturally became the viewing stage for the queen mother and the emperor, as well as many dignitaries and concubines. The red felt had already been laid on the high platform, and a fence was added on three sides, only the side facing the bow field was released, and the emperor and Wu Zetian sat in the middle.

However, everyone only looks at Wu Zetian alone, Li Dan is completely an ornament, everyone knows that even if Empress Wu does not change Li Tang's orders and always governs power as the queen mother, he, the emperor, is still an ornament, and no one takes him seriously.

This Tang Emperor is also very conscious, probably because of the bloody reality of the two brothers and many Li Tang clans being killed frightened him, he is humble and tame, every moment, he is paying attention to his mother's face, Wu Zetian will never dare to sit if he doesn't sit, Wu Zetian won't speak, he will never dare to say a word first, that kind of cautious demeanor is not even as casual as a used eunuch next to Wu Zetian.

Such a mother and son can be regarded as a wonder in the world, although it is said that the royal family has no family affection, but in front of the subjects, face work must always be done, but in front of this mother and son, they don't even bother to act. Those ministers who were loyal to Li Tang couldn't help but be even more depressed when they saw the appearance of this emperor Bixia.

In the past two years, there have always been only three teams eligible to participate in the bowing competition: the Tubo team, the Uighur team, and the Tang Dynasty forbidden army. Due to the tense relations between the Turks and the Tang Dynasty in recent years, it has been a long time since they have come to the Hajj, and it is impossible to participate in the bowing.

The participation of the White Horse Temple cannot be said to be a bad thing, because the opponents of the competition are selected by lot, and they have a two-thirds chance of drawing the Tibetan or Uighur troops, so as to fight for the forbidden army of the Tang Dynasty first and consume the opponent's physical strength. If you win the Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army, your family's competition will not be too miserable, because every year in the bow competition, there is always no shortage of people who break their heads and bleed and fall to the ground injured.

The results of the draw are out, the first one: White Horse Temple vs. Uighurs!
