"Knock ......"

The top of the mountain, the bell tower,

The heavy bronze bell was knocked by several monks carrying wooden pillars, and if you look closely, this bronze bell has a green rust, which is made by the monk of the Nine Rings when he returned from traveling, hanging on the top of the mountain, and used as a warning when invading foreign lands.

It's just that it has never sounded since it was completed, and the great monks on the mountain who rang the bell looked at the thousands of iron horsemen who rushed along the mountain road and were shocked and angry, it was the first temple in Beijing, and the princes and nobles were also behaving here, and they did not dare to disturb the purity of Buddhism.

How have you ever been surrounded by a mountain gate?

After the bell rings,

The monk on duty at the head of the monk hurriedly ran down from the bell tower, ran to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, it was an annual temple fair, the abbot of the nine precepts was not there, and the first monk as the successor was naturally to meet with the believers who came here to pray for blessings in the main hall.

At this moment, the first monk wearing a robe and holding a Buddhist scripture looking kind and kind was lecturing with hundreds of believers with extraordinary status on the bluestone square in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, listening to the sudden ringing of the bell a little dazed.

"First seat, something is wrong!

The monk who was in charge of supervising the security of the temple said in a panic to the first seat in front of the main hall.

"The pure place of Buddhism,"

"What kind of system is it to shout so much?"

The first monk put down the Buddhist scriptures and said unhappily, listening to the continuous bells, he was even more inexplicably a little upset, and he thought that the monk on duty was making a big fuss, and he didn't think about the alarm bell that shook the mountain at all.

"The first one, a group of thieves came from out of nowhere at the foot of the mountain, and now they have surrounded the mountain gate and are killing them upwards." The monk couldn't take care of his breath and hurriedly explained.

"A bunch of thieves?"

"You lead people to beat them out with sticks."

"Remember, don't hurt the thief's surname, and hand it over to the government to deal with, if you want to come to Zhang Fucheng in the Beijing Mansion, after Lord Zhang goes back, he will personally teach those thieves."

The first monk waved his hand and still didn't care, but looked at the middle-aged man in the front row who was still wearing ordinary clothes and still had an extraordinary bearing, and didn't give the monk a chance to speak.

"Please rest assured."

"In this Shangjing Mansion,"

"The old man still has some weight to speak."

When the official heard this, he responded directly, since they were unwilling to open the killing ring, then they were happy to help, as the second-in-command in the Shangjing Mansion, it was very simple to kill a few people without knowing it.

In addition, the old mother of the family has always believed in Buddhism, often accompanied her to the White Horse Temple, in the past there was no less work for him, now the old mother is old, or never forget, in the future, it is inevitable to often deal with the White Horse Temple, but also willing to sell his first face.

"The first seat, the thief led by the first son is afraid that there are thousands of people, and they are menacing, and they are very likely to be people in the army, and they are afraid that they will not be beaten with sticks." The monk had never dealt with Jinyiwei, so he naturally didn't recognize the clothes.

"Thousands?"

Maybe it's been too long,

The first monk paid attention to it when he heard the sound, but his expression was extremely puzzled, the White Horse Temple has always valued connections, and in the capital, whether it is a civil minister or a military general, there is a relationship between the six officials, and there are many officials who have a good relationship, and they have never sinned against the people who lead the army in power.

You don't see, the world of chaos Buddhism is closed, the prosperous world of Buddhism, seeking benefits and avoiding disasters, this is the tradition of Buddhism, not to mention that the White Horse Temple, as the largest temple in Beijing, has long engraved this virtue into the bones.

"The thief also sent people to block all the roads down the mountain, and now he is driving the pilgrims up the mountain to the mountain.

The monk ran to the railing of the bluestone square, looked at the scene below and cried with a sad face.

"Good, good......"

The first monk didn't care about preaching at the moment, and folded his hands and said sincerely to the pilgrims in the square: It was an annual temple fair, but I didn't expect that there would be thieves to make trouble, and it was really not well received. ”

"And benefactors,"

"Let's go to the hall of the great majesty for a while."

"There is the protection of the Buddha in the hall, and you will be able to worry free!"

The first monk forcibly calmed down and led the way, and the pilgrims in front of him didn't say much when they saw that the situation was critical, and walked in the main hall under the guidance of the monks.

"Call out all the monks in the temple."

"Let's see who the hell is doing the calculations!"

The first monk turned around and his color was indeed gloomy,

"Knock, knock, knock......"

This is the sound of horses' hooves stepping down, the sound on the mountain road is different from that on the bluestone, compared to the thunder, it is more dull, like hundreds of cowhide drums in the army were beaten by the wrestlers together, shaking the rocks to fall.

The dull sound came from far and near,

Hearing this, everyone's hearts trembled.

At this time, the first seat of the White Horse Temple realized the seriousness of the problem, and his eyes were full of worry, and the warrior monks standing at the front of the Xiongbao Hall were holding demon sticks and waiting for them.

"Don't rush to do it later!"

"Let's see if there's room for maneuver."

The first monk did not see him, but he could see the momentum, and he knew that he was invincible, gritted his teeth, put down the vajra staff in his hand, and walked to the front of the square hard, no matter how to show weakness first, so as not to do it directly, it would not end well.

"Master of the Seven Rings, don't worry."

"If it's a man in the army."

"The old man still has a bit of thin noodles."

Just when the first monk Qijie was worried in his heart, a Zheng Sanpin official in a crimson official robe walked out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and said with relief.

Originally, after retreating from the court, he stayed in the quiet courtyard of the back mountain, but after hearing the movement here, he rushed over to ask about the situation, and then he walked to the side of Qijie.

"Then, there is Lao Li Shangshu!"

The first monk looked inexplicably settled down in his heart, speaking of which this pilgrim was originally just a master of the Ministry of War, but with the incident on Yongle Street, there were many more vacancies, and the court temporarily replaced him as the secretary of the Ministry of War, and also became the object of the White Horse Temple's heavy hospitality.

"Oh?"

"I wonder how thin this adult is?"

While the two were talking, Luo Congee had already appeared at the end of the mountain road on horseback, and the cavalry behind him followed closely behind, and directly surrounded the square without saying a word.

Qingyuan Mountain is not high, but more than two hundred zhang, after the temple has silver, the road up the mountain is built extremely smooth, for those high-ranking officials and nobles in the sedan car to pass, now, it is convenient for their own horses to go straight to the lair of these bald donkeys.

"Luo, Luo...... Lord Luo ......"

The official who spoke out just now looked at the young man in front of him who was wearing a black and gold python robe with an embroidered spring knife hanging from his waist, and instantly recognized his identity, and he lost his previous confidence when he spoke.

Earlier, I was glad that I was old and humble, and I didn't participate in those big things, and finally I was able to get a position in the position of a scholar to retire.

Now that I see the main owner who caused everything, I unconsciously think of the empty errand location of the military department, and my legs are faintly a little weak.

"Lord Li who temporarily takes the post of secretary of the military department?"

Luo Congee looked at the old man in front of him with a whip and said suspiciously.

"Lord Luo, the lower official ......"

As the man spoke, he faintly cried, and even called himself an official, but it was not wrong to say that the other party's grade was second-grade.

"Come over here and let the officer take a look."

Luo Congee hooked his finger and said suspiciously.

"Lord Luo, I don't know that Lord Luo is here, and I offended my lord by saying something for a while, it's really confusing......"

The man said as he walked.

"Smack......

When he got closer, Luo Congee couldn't help but say that he went directly to the whip, the man was already old and weak, and he was caught off guard, and he was directly knocked to the ground, and the bloody whip mark on his face was particularly eye-catching.

The latter spit out a mouthful of blood with chest tightness, which was really shameless, and he didn't know how to deal with this killing embryo, so he simply pretended to pass out on the ground, turning a deaf ear to the call of the first seat.

"The dough is really thin."

Luo Congee looked at Shang Shu who was pretending to be dead on the ground and said in surprise.
