742, the Western Beggars

At dawn, it was the twelfth day of September, and yes came galloping on horseback. The ancient city of Liangzhou reappeared in front of his eyes.

"When-when-when-" The ancient and heavy temple bells came from the ancient city, as if announcing the beginning of a new day, it was the bell of dawn.

This is the bell of Dayun Temple in ancient Liangzhou. The temple is located in the northeast corner of the ancient city, it is said that this big bell is made of alloy casting, the color is slightly yellow, the shape is simple, the upper part is fine and the lower part is thick, the drum belly is 2.4 meters high, the diameter of the lower mouth is 1.45 meters, the thickness is 10 centimeters, the lower cast six ears, the mouth and ears are straighter. The decorative pattern of the bell body is divided into three layers, and each layer is divided into six grids, which are connected by stripes. The first layer is wearing a flower crown to fly into the sky, with the upper body exposed, a long skirt, and a fruit plate in hand, making a fluttering flying shape; The second layer is the Heavenly King Ghost Clan, the Three Kings are fierce and mighty, wearing a tower ear hat, wearing armor, holding a weapon, riding on the body of the Yaksha, standing next to two little ghosts, naked in shorts, with different forms; The third layer is decorated with dragons in two squares and one in the heavenly king, but the lower part is incomplete. The base of the bell tower is 20 meters high, the bottom is 15 square meters, the top of the hill rests, the plane is square, under the eaves Shi five paving makes the bucket arch, the angle is longer, the volume kills slowly. This bronze bell is said to have been cast in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also said that it was cast earlier than the Tang Dynasty. It's a pity that the age of the bell was not cast, otherwise, how can there be this legend different? According to the early Qing Dynasty's "Rebuilding the Ancient Temple of Dayun Temple Merit Tablet", Dayun Temple was ruled by Zhang Tianxi, the former king of Liang. Originally known as Hongzang Temple, it was later renamed Tianci Nunnery. Wu Zetian called the emperor, ordered the whole country to worship the "Great Cloud Sutra", and changed the Tianci Nunnery to the Great Cloud Temple. The bell tower was rebuilt during the Qing Yongzheng period. This is the overview of the Dayun Temple and the temple bell, "the Dayun Dawn Bell" is one of the eight views of Liangzhou, and it should be cast by the former Liang King Zhang. This bell was originally in the southeast corner of the gate of the Great Cloud Temple. But then the temple was destroyed by an earthquake in 1927! This is all the fault of "Lao Jiang"! The counter-revolutionary coup d'état of April 12 took place in this year! The sky is falling!

However, what kind of omen will the dawn bell of this Dayun Temple bring to the walkers on the road?

At this moment, the sweat horse that the "Wuji Guard" and "Three Cats" stepped on slowly stopped. In front of him, there were crows and crows, all of whom were unkempt beggars, all with sticks, as if waiting for them.

"What? Could it be that these beggars are going to block my way? When Ye Harmless was whispering, I saw a beggar gang elder led by Ye Harmless shouting: "Ye harmless! In the past, our beggar disciples regarded you as a hero, but I didn't expect you to be rebellious and escort the Khitan dog thieves back! And it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that you are also Khitan. What else do you have to say now? ”

"This is someone slandering him. I am harmless and stand up to the heavens and the earth, I am a native of the Central Plains in life, and a ghost in the Central Plains in death, how can I be in the same stream with the Khitan dog thieves who invade my Central Plains land? Presumably, you are all disciples of the Western Beggars Gang, and you are the Jianghu forces of Li Cunqiao, the king of Jin. And your old gang leader Xi Luo's seniors also know him, and his ancestral home is in this Liangzhou. It's a pity that in the melee in the rivers and lakes in the first month of this year, he was victimized by the Epiphany Sect and the Xinghua Sect; Otherwise, he can prove my innocence. ”

"Not bad! Eight months ago, the Rakshasa order was issued on the rivers and lakes, and the four gang leaders and the eighteen sect leaders were suspicious and fighting with each other, and our old sect leader died at the hands of Tan Kexin and Yong Zifeng. But the remnants of our Western Beggars have avenged the old gang leader and destroyed the five sects of Epiphany, Apricot Flower, Yellow Flower, Sunflower and Osmanthus. For this reason, our current task is to eradicate the rebellion of the martial arts and avenge the souls of the martyrs! ”

"Then you're going to seek revenge on me?"

"Not bad! We are here to take your life! ”

"Kill him! Kill him! The beggar disciples immediately responded to the call, and knocked the dog-beating stick loudly.

"Humph!" Ye Wuwu couldn't help but say contemptuously: "If you insist on going your own way, you are really blind, and you don't distinguish between the enemy and me!" Let me ask the elder, there are 'four evildoers' in the rivers and lakes who secretly communicate with the killers of the Prime Minister's Mansion to harm the martial arts, how many of them have you eliminated? ”

The Western Beggars Elder led by "This ......" couldn't help but be speechless, because he had already heard that the murderous "Yanshan Lang Demon" was eliminated by this Ye Shaoxia in front of him, and he had also witnessed with his own eyes how Ye Wuwu went to great lengths to get rid of the Fashen Old Buddha!

"But you escorted the Khitan killer back, and you should be killed!" I saw another beggar helping Beizi to come out of the column and shout.

"That's right! How do you explain this? ”

"I am thinking about the overall situation of the Central Plains and carrying out the mission under the royal secret order!"

"By royal order? Our royal is the King of Jin! It's not some fake emperor Chang'an Tianzi! ”

"Hugh is talking nonsense! We are each our own lord and our country. We are all from the Central Plains, and our common enemies are all Khitan! Now that the Khitan army is prosperous, all the countries in the Central Plains should unite and recuperate in order to come to the future. If the Son of Heaven in Chang'an does not use the delay to temporarily stabilize the Khitan, once they enter the Central Plains, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop! ”

Hearing Ye's harmless words of righteous indignation, the elder at the head seemed to have come to his senses, and he couldn't help but nod and said, "That being the case, I can trust you for the time being." Leave your life for the time being, and you can go. ”

"Nope! Kill him! Can't let him go! I heard someone in the crowd shouting again.

"Don't scream! Let him go! The elder immediately waved his hand to stop it.

"Thank you for your trust! Please make a statement to the King of Jin, end the melee in the Central Plains, accumulate national strength, and fight against the Khitan. There will be a period later! He bowed his hand to the crowd and rode away.

At this time, the elders of the Beggar Gang and the disciples looked at the background of Ye Harmless Pegasus's departure, and he couldn't help but secretly say to himself, "Maybe we were mistaken!" Ye Shaoxia doesn't look like a Khitan! But when he returned to Chang'an this time, how could he convince the world's martial arts? ”

"Elder Qifeng! What should we do now? ”

"Immediately send someone back to the two kings of Jin and Qi, and ask them to end the battle between them and jointly resist the Khitan!"

"Yes!"
