Chapter 243: Seven-stringed bells and drums, wind and thunder

Since the Songjiang Prefecture announced the ban on the tobacco business and strictly ordered all factories to change their work systems, the number of ships coming and going at the port and wharf has been significantly reduced.

This is not only because ships carrying large cigarettes are no longer allowed to enter the port, but also because of the resistance and sanction attitude shown by the commercial banks of various countries.

Even overseas, letters from all quarters flew like snowflakes to the headquarters of the East India Company, the capital of the country, to the new stars of the political corps, to the nobles and knights.

They demanded tougher measures to maintain their business market in Songjiang Province, and even did not hesitate to donate large sums of military spending for this purpose.

However, after the head of the "Heavenly Absolute Organization" was killed by Su Hanshan and He Zong formed an alliance with Songjiang Mansion, the statements of various countries in this regard were postponed and delayed.

Outside the Forbidden City, the news of the battle of Xiaoqingliangshan spread, and even the owners of the big merchant houses who danced the most happily died down for a while.

They are afraid, but they are also waiting.

Abbot Longhua's breathing suddenly became a little shorter, and his heart was full of confusion.

On these seven strings, there are seven loose notes, ninety-one overtones, one hundred and forty-seven press notes, and the combinations are endless.

"The confrontation between civil and military forces leads to the world, and the smoke and clouds run through the ......"

In this precedent, the Empress of the Britons had not left the palace for many years.

Songjiang Mansion has undergone many great changes recently, and Britain, such a top powerhouse, visiting Songjiang, you don't need to think about it, you know that something big will happen.

Pedestrians on the road covered their ears, glanced at the sky, and quickened their pace to find shelter from the rain.

"This ......"

In the year of the weak crown, he made a name for himself in the Qing court, and after his martial arts achievements, he visited the Confucian family and Longhu Mountain successively, and borrowed the mountain collection.

Arthur said: "Chongming Island, just within the limits of Songjiang Mansion. What a troublesome enemy! ”

The third entry is the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Buddha statue of Virujana is enshrined in the middle, it is the Dharmakaya Buddha, the left and right are Manjushri, Puxian, the two sides are along the wall for the twenty heavens and sixteen Arhats, and there are statues such as Guanyin, the good talent boy behind the hall.

As soon as the sky and clouds changed, he flicked again.

The sound of the piano is around the beam, and gradually follows the leaves of the ancient trees outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the dust incense ding, and the whole skylight, all of which have been inducted, and the sound of the piano has been slightly accelerated, reaching the speed that ordinary people should have when playing soothing tunes.

Tang En didn't answer directly, but just put the adjusted guqin on his lap.

Arthur also asked in Chinese, "What are you looking for?" ”

He spent a lot of effort to maintain his body shape, and his living etiquette was infiltrated into his bones, polite and full of demeanor.

Not only is there no large amount of gold and silver donated for the head incense, and various items rewarded by high rollers on weekdays, but there is a steady stream of pouring out in the temple.

The other man looked to be about forty years old, with blond hair, straight down to the shoulders, green eyes, a high nose, a handsome appearance, a delicate beard, and a slender body.

Legend has it that when Fuxi made the piano, there was only one string, and when Shennong made the piano, five strings were divided, which was to collect feathers for the palace merchants.

"It can be said that it is like a million sharp swords, hanging in the sky of this city, ready to launch an exterminating attack on the rude people who have the courage to break in."

Within a few minutes, he came out of the secret room of his meditation room with a guqin.

Tang En was already sitting cross-legged on the futon in front of the Buddha, facing the outside of the hall, stroking the guqin, and admiring in his mouth.

The Britons have three supreme powerhouses, which are equivalent to the realm of Huandan in Middle-earth.

The big drum on the top of the drum tower seems to be under the impact of the wind, and the drum surface vibrates and makes a sound.

Arthur, the blond man, looked at the men and women who were walking by the river during their lunch break, and let out a faint voice of appreciation.

"Wind and thunder!!"

For the world's top masters, even if they have never learned by heart, it is not difficult to master one more language if they only dabble in a little.

Could it be that it is necessary to start from Longhua Temple, play the piano in many places, accumulate a lot, and gradually achieve the effect?

He didn't ask, and Don didn't answer.

It's a pity that in recent months, the monks of Longhua Temple have not been as glamorous as they used to be, and the people who accompany them the most are those smokers and beggars and bankrupt workers.

"The books of geography are full of legends, and those who seek their skills to be wonderful, and the "Book of Burial" is the most; Those who know very well, and "Fa Wei" is preferred. ”

On the foreigner side, Arthur of Britain, Usuna of the Netherlands, and old Sato of the Oriental country faced the battle.

Arthur listened to this and wondered.

"Many people believe that people who understand Feng Shui can master a system that is different from martial arts, and exert a strange power similar to witchcraft magic."

Really intelligent people understand that when the identity of the enemy rises from a hard bone that emits provocations to a beast of fierce danger with a terrible threat, these people are no longer qualified to decide the situation.

Even if it is such a sad time, once outsiders see it, I am afraid they will not be able to see that he is distressed about his family's big tobacco business, but will only think that he is compassionate and has great love.

The music that was originally covered by the sound of thunder and rain is now everywhere like the front and back of the eaves, and the song is accompanied by singing.

"I came to visit Longhua Treasure Temple, because at the beginning of Longhu Mountain, and Zhang Tianshi talked about classical culture, talking about the world's famous piano, Zhang Tianshi is like a number of treasures, occasionally a sentence, mentioning that in the Longhua Temple of Songjiang Mansion, there is a Song Dynasty temple period, preserved lightning strike wood guqin."

The buildings around these central axes, on the east and west sides, there are also bell and drum towers, Guanyin Hall, Luohan Hall, Peony Garden and other palace gardens.

The university scholars of the British Isles, in the rain in front of the Buddha, played the piano and sang, desolate and simple, and the tone was frustrated.

"Nan no Amitabha!"

Tang En sighed, "There are many philosophical schools in China, with a long history, and there are many classics that have been preserved. ”

He didn't play fast, and his eyes didn't look at the guqin, but looked outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Before he could finish speaking, a big thunder suddenly exploded outside, causing his eyes to change and he turned his head to look.

"The gray tire is crushed with gold and silver beads and emerald coral, mixed with antler ash for sharing, and the strings are very well preserved, and it is really good."

After hearing this, Donn thought about it and said, "It's not an artificial creation that can be actually explored, but something more metaphysical. ”

"It's hard to say."

Suddenly, I saw the copper hoop on Tang En's forehead, which seemed to have a thin electric light, flowing past.

"When the male and female meet, Lei Gong fights the electric mother!"

Tang En gently plucked the guqin, and when the pitch was high, it was like a bell in the wind, crisp and pleasant.

He raised his hand and touched the copper hoop on his forehead, stopped for a moment, pointed to a temple in the distance, and said, "Let's go over there and have a look." ”

"Although you said it very seriously, but you came here to borrow the piano, there should be some means against him, right?"

Abbot Longhua's heart fluctuated, he was afraid of Su Hanshan, and he secretly hated that Dayan was banned, and his attitude towards the two in front of him was difficult to decide.

From piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, to sculpture ships, hands do not leave the smoke, without leaving the garden, tens of thousands of taels of business have been negotiated.

Arthur said indifferently: "It's just a small rain of smoke, there is water vapor but no electric charge, and it is not yet time for the water droplets to fall." ”

Because he is too old to participate in the same level of combat at all, it is almost negligible.

After the fermentation of wind and thunder for half an hour, and the movement of water vapor from heaven and earth, this heavy rain almost covered the entire Songjiang.

These are two older men, one in his fifties, with short black hair, light blue eyes, towering cheekbones, gray beard, and dressed in formal clothes.

"The books I just mentioned, strictly speaking, are a kind of study that integrates geography and philosophy, which can be called Feng Shui."

"There are five stars and five birds in the sky, five directions and five righteousness in the earth, five elders and five virtues in people, and five saints in the Tao...... There are five thieves! ”

The second is Prince Arthur, who inherited the name of the ancient legend of Britain.

Although the Britons failed to occupy Matsue and Edo, Arthur's murderous reputation rose to a higher level.

Arthur rubbed the hilt of his sword at his waist, his fighting spirit not affected, but he smiled.

Between the heavy overlapping tiles, a large number of gaps leaked into the skylight, and large droplets of water leaked.

The abbot of Longhua fled to a corner of the Daxiong Treasure Hall in embarrassment, only to see the entire Daxiong Treasure Hall, the roof of the hall shook, and seemed to be excited by the wind and thunder.

And among the Britons, the two most important attitudes are strolling the streets of Songjiang together at the moment.

I saw two foreigners walking in, blonde with indifferent faces and swords at their waists.

Two dynasties apart, hundreds of years ago, Ming Taizu sent people to erect a stone tablet on Chongming Island, I don't know when, it was excavated again.

"In addition to the last algae dragon in the world, the new Songjiang government has mastered all kinds of machinery to transform and replenish the energy of the workers, which is also a rare treasure, and we must try to control it after the war and completely control it."

Outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall, a voice suddenly came, and the abbot of Longhua was in good spirits, and he quickly got up and looked back.

In the war of the kingdoms over the ownership of Songjiang Prefecture in the past, all the three giants of the Chinese warlords participated in the war.

Abbot Longhua was ignorant in his mind, standing aside, feeling the cool breeze outside the hall, he couldn't help but look up, and said to himself: "It's going to rain heavily?" It's time to put away your clothes......"

The second into the palace of the heavenly king, there are four meters high statue of the king on both sides, in the middle of the enshrinement of a statue of Maitreya with a crown of heaven, wearing five Buddha crowns and wearing Yingluo, it is the practice of Maitreya Bodhisattva, in the Buddhist shrine behind it, there is the protector god Wei camel waiting.

Tang En smiled silently, and as he walked slowly, he looked left and right, sometimes staring at the tidal waves of the Huangpu River, sometimes staring at the boxy factories and warehouses in the distance, and sometimes at the old shops and buildings nearby.

And the third person is the British university scholar Donne.

However, Donn's response still made him feel a little incomprehensible.

"Indeed."

"I have read a lot of classics in the East and the West, but I can only feel Feng Shui, but I can't mobilize and control the power of Feng Shui."

The dark-haired Donn smiled and said, "You seem to appreciate the city as it is now?" ”

"Since ancient times, martial arts have been the right path, and there are very few capable people who study feng shui, and most of them are just practicing martial arts. Because Feng Shui contains the characteristics of praying for blessings, it is prevalent among the people, giving birth to a large number of liars, which makes the development of this science even more difficult. ”

The abbot of Longhua was busy and sat in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, sighing and frowning.

This person was the most active, fighting in the south and the north, and rarely absent from all the major battles.

Until the slightest bit of rain drifted obliquely and landed on Chongming Island, he only moved his eyebrows and didn't open his eyes.

Tang En said with a smile, "I don't know if this guqin is still in the temple, if it is, please bring it to the abbot and lend it to me." ”

"Then now, if he mobilizes Songjiang Feng Shui again, the increase will definitely be greater than when he fought against He Zong."

As a result, he fought with the Innate Sect Master for less than ten rounds, and because the burden on the meridians was too heavy, his essence was exhausted, and he died of old age on the spot.

It is known as swallowing clouds and spitting out fog, pointing out the country, talking and laughing, discussing the general trend at home and abroad, praising and deprecating ancient and modern emperors and generals, and admiring overseas empresses and kings.

Dark clouds rolled, lightning and thunder roared.

"But his attitude has already decided that there must be a battle between us, and the empire must not let go of such a huge threat that is rising and full of vitality."

"And by the time of the Battle of Xiaoqingliangshan, he was far away from Songjiang Mansion, without the blessing of feng shui, and with his own strength, he also defeated the innate sect master."

In that year, after the innate sect leader killed the Manchu royal family and occupied the Forbidden City, in the Qingliang Temple of Wutai Mountain, there was an old monk Aixin Jueluo who became a monk because of the death of his concubine, and he wanted to go down the mountain to set things right and continue the imperial system.

In the nearby warehouse shed area assigned to Longhua Temple, the workers who were trained sent away and came again, as if there was no end to this day.

"Since ancient times, it has always been a hundred times easier to destroy than to create."

Heavy rain poured down, and the rain clouds turned into vast smoke waves, reaching the coast of the East China Sea, crossing the sea.

He lowered his head to adjust the strings and said, "Longhu Mountain and the Confucian family also have a lot of annotations in this regard, in words you can understand, the so-called feng shui refers to the synthesis of geography, meteorology, people's hearts, contemporary situation, and historical information. ”

Abbot Longhua seems to have an extraordinary bearing, unfathomable martial arts, and must be far above himself, and a lot of polite praise in his stomach is about to overflow his mouth, and he is cold and unprepared.

This abbot is not fat, his facial features are upright, his beard is white, although he eats and wears a degree, spends money like dirt, and enjoys the first-class goods, but in order to make the guests pleasing to the eye, in line with the style of the monks, he can't let himself be oily, too fat.

Originally, the monks of Longhua Temple were all celebrities and gentry, and for them, smoking in this kind of place was an indispensable elegant custom in the interaction of the upper class.

At the beginning, the rain curtain was only a few miles around Longhua Temple.

Thanks to the shrewdness of the original Heavenly Master, he built a Thunder Immortal Hall overnight and cast a Thunder Immortal Statue that was eight points similar to Tang En.

I don't know how many people who are eating, walking, talking, playing, cooking, and sewing clothes are also frightened by this sudden loud noise.

"It's incredible how much the city's temperament has changed in just a few months."

"If you want to know the detailed life of the practice, it is not as good as Yang Gong's "Inverted Stick"; If you want to know the abnormal state of the star shape, it is not as good as Liao's "Nine Changes". ”

But if you just sit here and play the piano, the sound of the piano can be heard for miles at most, not to mention to Chongming Island, even if it is far from the sea, there is a long distance.

Overseas true Buddha, Yingtan Lei Xianke, so the name has been passed down for decades and has endured.

The name of Longhua Temple comes from an allusion in the Buddhist scriptures, it is said that Maitreya Bodhisattva became a Buddha under the "Longhua Tree".

There is the famous Longhua Temple in Songjiang Province.

"Over the city, there are only clouds, water mist, chemical smoke, high humidity, there may be a light rain today, but other than that, I don't feel any artificial creation."

Later, King Wen of Zhou added a string, King Wu of Zhou added a string, and in this way, the Wenwu lyre was achieved.

Arthur frowned and said, "That is to say, Su Hanshan is likely to have the ability to mobilize feng shui, so how much increase will this ability allow him to gain when he actually fights?" ”

The sound of the piano seems to be completely muffled in such heavy rain and thunder, and I can't hear it when I listen to it.

However, his name is more widely known in the Oriental folk martial arts.

In Longhua Temple, the big bell above the bell tower is clanging and swaying from side to side.

The old monk's face changed, he looked at it in detail, and asked tentatively, "Could it be that in the year of the weak crown, in front of the Jiaqing Emperor, he argued with the living Buddha and fought the law, and was named the incarnation of the Bodhicitta Gate by the royal pen himself, and the Tang Entang monk of the overseas true Buddha seed?" ”

The thunder rumbled, the rain sounded, the lightning pierced the clouds, and the heavy rain poured down, hitting thousands of windows, thousands of trees, and the water surface of the streets.

"There is also "Snow Heart Fu", the words are clear and fast, which is convenient for later learning and leads people to gradually get better."

Tang En said, "This is the geographer of the Ming Dynasty in China, Xu Xianke, with the help of the royal collection, after reading the ancient classics, he extracted a passage, and highly recommended several famous works, do you know what these books are about?" ”

Especially after staying in Longhu Mountain for a few months and practicing the Five Thunder Fa, he in turn instructed the people of Longhu Mountain.

Only the sound of the piano rises and falls, gradually becoming a tune, the wind gradually rises outside the main hall, and the sky is getting darker and darker.

When he said these words, he was in Chinese.

Tang En said regretfully, "I can't create a deep relationship with the local feng shui, but the time he has been here is also not long enough for me to ...... Destroy his connection to Matsue Feng Shui! ”

In the medium period, it is bright and sonorous, like a jade chime, and the bass is deep and powerful, like a bell shock.

Abbot Longhua had so many complicated thoughts in his mind, but somehow, he suddenly forgot about it, restored his normal heart, listened to the question, and acted truthfully.

During that battle, the elder Sato was seriously wounded by Emperor Xu, and soon after was killed by Arthur in Fuso Edo Bay.

It seems that when the wind moves, he flicks, and when the bird calls, he flicks.

What is more striking is that he also wears a copper hoop on his forehead, which is a reddish color in gold, cumbersome and difficult to understand, but has a symmetrical beauty pattern, revealing the atmosphere of antique cultural relics.

Arthur said helplessly: "You said that he is a geographer, aren't these books about geography?" ”

"If I had to say it, I would be the sword of war that could land in this city at any time and bring destruction and glory with me."

Don said softly, "From the moment I entered the range of Matsue, I felt something oppressive. ”

"It's geography, but it's not all."

Arthur suddenly said: "What you said before, the power that shrouds the sky over Songjiang Mansion will target the power of foreign enemies, is it Feng Shui?" ”

Tang En nodded, "What is cultivated in martial arts is the vitality of heaven and earth, it is the real energy, and the power cultivated by feng shui refers to the geopolitical and humanistic information, which is even more ethereal and difficult to guess. ”

"The total length of this piano is one hundred and twenty-eight centimeters, the width of the shoulders is twenty-five centimeters, the body is thick and long, and the broken lines are like cow hair."

"Tang En, a Western layman, has come to visit the Maitreya Dojo, Longhua Treasure Temple."

In recent decades, this person has been active in the Americas and other places, and has never participated in the affairs of the East.

claimed that the Heavenly Master passed on the Dharma in a dream, and ordered Lei Xian to reincarnate and come back to point out the descendants of the Zhang family.

"If Xingyuan is noble and cheap, the magic is in "Urging Officials"; The magic is in "Jade Ruler". ”

He originally thought that Don was going to take the piano away and make some arrangements.

One is their Empress Majesty, but now she is one hundred and forty-six years old.

The fourth entrance is the three temples, the fifth is the abbot's room, in the closed courtyard, and the sixth is the scripture building.

The black-haired man smiled, folded his hands, and first bent down to worship the statue of Virujana.

"With such confidence, calmness, energy and a laid-back atmosphere, if I closed my eyes, I would have thought I was on the outskirts of Great Britain's capital."

Donn chuckled, "About me." ”

Arthur did not shy away from this, and said calmly, "Although in the air, if you carefully distinguish it, there will still be that unpleasant smell of factories, but the sun is bright, the residents are cheerful, and the layout of the whole city has a feeling of spaciousness, comfort, and can be embraced to the fullest." ”

Arthur looked at the sky suspiciously, grasped the matching sword hanging from his waist in his hand, and after sensing it for a moment, shook his head.

"My opinion, quite the opposite."

He Zong's figure emerged from the fishing village, pinching the crystal stone, walking out of the humble hut, looking up at the sky, very moved, and whispering in his mouth.

"Judging from all the intelligence, it is very likely that he used Feng Shui to fight against He Zong before refining the Golden Pill."

Tang En's face was serious, "The power of Feng Shui has local limitations, and he has been operating here for the longest time, and it must be the most effective when he uses the power of Feng Shui in Songjiang Mansion." ”

But at that time, Longhu Mountain, although it was repeatedly sealed by the Qing court, did not even have a character with the ultimate jade liquid, and after listening to Tang En's personal explanation, he couldn't practice the real Five Thunder Method.

"Not bad."

"Donn?!"

But he was only wearing a black shirt on the upper half of his body, the cuffs were folded close to his elbows, and the lower half of his body was only thin trousers, and the hairs on his neck, forearms, and the backs of his hands were very thick, which made the elegant Sven temperament more wild.

The rain is like a bead curtain, poured in the main hall, poured on the body of the golden Buddha, and flows down the face of the Buddha.

In this small half an hour, the sound of Donn's piano was not interrupted for a second.

"Thunder and lightning are male and female, and rain is male and female."

Therefore, on the central axis of this temple, the first entrance is the Maitreya Hall, which enshrines a statue of Ci's Maitreya.

Su Hanshan sat cross-legged on the top of the stone tablet, his hands hanging on his knees, his eyes closed and quiet.

The rain fell for half an hour, and the clouds in the sky gathered more and more, pushing farther and farther.

The stone tablet as high as several zhang stands tall, the four big characters of "Yingzhou in the East China Sea", the iron painting silver hook, the dragon flying and the phoenix dance, and the magnificence is unassuming.

In the dark clouds, lightning roared, winding vertically and horizontally.

Many electric traces of light just formed a huge cloud seal spell, which stood in the dark clouds and disappeared in a flash.

Sympathy between male and female, five thunder righteousness!
