Yu Fan was shocked in his heart, and originally wanted to follow the two into the main hall. It's just that after thinking about it, these two people's martial arts are not weak, and their whereabouts are strange, and they are not separated from friend or foe. It's just that judging from the actions of the two, it doesn't seem to be difficult with themselves. This trip was originally for a big event, and it must not be extraneous. If you rashly follow the two of you, it won't be beautiful if you can't get burned on fire.

Thinking of this, he dispelled the idea of following the two into the temple. With his hands behind his back, he watched with interest the story of the relief carved on the main hall gate. Then I watched the pilgrims incense for a while, and about half a cup of tea, then I gave Yu Chengji a look, and the two walked into the main hall one after the other.

But the inside of the main hall was very wide, and the pilgrims talked about it, and the name of the main hall was called the Temple of Peace, and some people called it the Temple of Enlightenment. It is the main hall of the Guandi Shengjun Temple, and it is also the largest hall here. Yu Fan walked into the hall and saw the statue of Emperor Guan enshrined in the center. The idol wore a golden helmet, a green brocade robe, and golden armor, and sat upright on a high platform. I saw that his face was like a heavy jujube, and Danfeng's eyes seemed to be open and closed. Stroke your long hair with your left hand and press your right hand on top of your right leg. There are four people standing next to the statue of Emperor Guan, who are Guan Ping, Zhou Cang, Wang Fu, and Liao Hua who died in Jingzhou with Guan Yu that year.

The main hall was solemn and solemn, and when the pilgrims arrived in the hall, they didn't even dare to make a sound, and after kowtowing, they put their hands together and prayed silently, and then quietly withdrew.

After Yu Fan entered the hall, he first glanced around, but he didn't see the person who punished the corrupt confucian, and the gray-clothed man who secretly followed him was nowhere to be seen. Yu Fan's heart widened, and he secretly thought that the man in gray really didn't come for him, so he caused a lot of trouble. Although he had never seen the man in gray make a move, he was extremely jealous of this person in his heart, and he vaguely felt that this person was extremely difficult to deal with. At this time, seeing that the two of them were gone, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Fan walked around the hall and walked out of the main hall. Yu Chengsi said: "My lord, there are two halls, three halls, five tiger halls and Niangniang halls behind, should we also go for a turn?"

Yu Fan pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Since you have come here, you might as well walk around, it is not worth this trip." ”

The two talked about it, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the second hall. The scale of the two halls is far less magnificent than the main hall, and it is dedicated to the statue of Guan Gongwu God of Wealth, which is also called the Temple of God of Wealth. In the hall, Guan Ping, who stood with a big seal on the left, stood on the right side of Zhou Cang, who held a big sword, and the boy who beckoned fortune and the boy of Lishi served in front of him. The people who come here to offer incense are some wealthy merchants, who are praying with their eyes closed, begging for the blessing of Emperor Guan, and the business is prosperous, and the day is making money.

Yu Chengsi said in a low voice: "My lord, among the temples of Emperor Guan Shengjun, these two halls are the smallest, but the incense is the most vigorous. It can be seen that what is said about loyalty and righteousness is far less powerful than money. ”

Yu Fan said: "Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is human nature, but there is no need to blame for everything." It's just that if you don't hesitate to violate your conscience and harm human life for the sake of gold, silver and jewelry, it is not tolerated by heaven and earth. Even if you escape for a while, it will eventually bring disaster to your children and grandchildren, and there will be endless disasters. ”

Yu Chengsi saw Yu Fan's heavy expression and knew that he remembered the past, so he also nodded.

After the two of them left the second hall, they saw that there was a hall on the left and right. The east is Zhang Hou Palace, which is dedicated to Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, and the west side is the Five Tigers Palace, which is dedicated to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong and other Shu Han Five Tiger Generals. The scale of these two accompanying halls is not large, and the two of them looked at it casually, and then went to the third hall. The three halls are five rooms wide, and the plastic Guan Yu reads the spring and autumn statue at night, Guan Yu travels and Guan Yu sleeps on the image, and the three halls are also called the sleeping hall by pilgrims. And the folk scholars, but because of this hall to worship Guan Yun long night reading the statue of the Spring and Autumn Festival, this hall is also called the Spring and Autumn Palace.

Behind these palaces and pavilions, there is the Guan Mound where Guan Yu's head is buried. Because Yu Fan was young, his parents only took him to burn a pillar of incense in front of the main hall, and then took him away from the Guan Emperor Shengjun Temple, because he had never seen Guan Mound. I saw that the raised round mound was more than five feet high, straight like a small hill in front of the two of them. When Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi arrived at Yuanqiu, they couldn't help but feel afraid, and their legs trembled a little.

Sekizuka is not as lively as the halls in front of it. Only three or four pilgrims walked up to the mound, knelt down and bowed, and then hurried away. A moment later, only Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi were left in front of the round hill.

At this time, although the sun was shining, only the shadows of the trees around were forested, and a shade was covered, but there was a little chill. Although Yu Chengsi was young and vigorous, he was a little uneasy in his heart at this time, and lowered his voice and said to Fan: "My lord, this place is gloomy, and it makes people's hearts furious. Let's get out of here soon......"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. The martial arts of the two were extremely high, and they immediately heard that the person was still more than ten zhang away, and it was the entrance where the two of them turned from the right side of the three halls to the entrance of the mound. This person walked with a steady foot, obviously with martial arts. In addition to the footsteps of this man, there was a chaotic footsteps behind him, and I think he brought a lot of people.

Yu Fan didn't look back, put his hands together in a prayer gesture, but used the corner of his eye to make a look at Yu Chenghe, signaling him not to panic, let alone make a move with others. Yu Chengsi was originally a little breathless, thinking that these people suddenly appeared for himself and Yu Fan, so he reached out to get the weapon wrapped around his waist. It's just that Yu Fan hinted with his eyes that he shouldn't do anything, so he had to learn from Yu Fan's appearance with his hands together, and muttered messily in his mouth.

Yu Fan closed his eyes slightly, listening to the footsteps of the people behind him getting closer and closer. At this moment, I saw a figure flickering, and a person bypassed from the right side of the mound, and it was the person who had just punished the corrupt Confucian surnamed Dong in front of the main hall. The man saw Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi standing in front of the mound and praying silently, only saying that ordinary pilgrims came here to make a wish, but they didn't put the two in their eyes, and staggered towards the exit.

Yu Fan didn't turn his head, only glanced at the man out of the corner of his eye. That person could pass by Yu Fan, and he met more than ten people who rushed from the third hall. I heard someone shouting, "Stop." Okay, report your name!"

Yu Fan pretended to be frightened, turned around in a panic, but saw more than a dozen people behind him. The man at the head was in his forties, wearing a white scarf, a purple robe, and a very powerful face. The dozen or so people who followed behind him were roughly dressed similarly, all of them were majestic and mighty, and they were very fierce.

Yu Fan glanced at everyone, and immediately noticed that the purple-robed man and the more than ten people behind him had a long black sheath hanging from their waists.

Yu Fan's heart froze, and he secretly thought: "The people of the Shi Family Dao have actually arrived here, is their target not me and the heir, but the strange person in front of him?"

The strange man rolled his eyes and said coldly: "If you want to find a good match, there are some in the Baihualou in Luoyang City." Go to the place where Guan Yunchang buried his head and say such filthy words, aren't you afraid that someone will take your head at night?"

The person who had just asked was a subordinate of the purple-robed man, and he was standing on the right side of the purple-robed man at this time. When he saw that the strange man was talking with a gun and a stick, he was furious, and with a wave of his right fist, he was about to rush forward to settle accounts with the strange man. The purple-robed man snorted, he was startled, hurriedly put down his hand, and stood beside the purple-robed man respectfully, not even daring to make a sound.

The purple-robed man arched his hand to the strange man, and said, "In Xia Shi Tianbao, please ask Mr. Gao's name?"

The strange man sneered: "Shi Tianbao, is Shi Nianhao, the head of the Shi Family Knife, your father or your brother?"

The names of Shi Nianhao and Shi Tianbao are very loud in the rivers and lakes. That Shi Nianhao is the head of the Luoyang Shijia knife, and Shi Tianbao is his eldest son. Shi Nianhao also has a son named Shi Tiangui, the father and son have extremely high martial arts, and their status in the Central Plains martial arts is not low. Since that strange man is a person in the martial arts, how can he not know the truth of the name of the Shi family's father and son? He was full of jokes, and he was extremely disrespectful to the Luoyang Shi family knife, which was a blatant denial of Shi Tianbao's face, and he wanted to be the enemy of the Shi family knife.

Shi Tianbao listened to his sarcastic words, and he was also quite annoyed in his heart. It's just that after thinking about it, Shi Jiadao is the largest martial arts gang in Luoyang City, not only has many disciples, but also has a lot of friendship with the Shaolin Temple and the Songshan faction near Luoyang. His father, Shi Nianhao, was strong in martial arts, witty, and tactful, not only making good friends with people in the rivers and lakes, but also having very close contacts with the Yamen of the Luoyang Prefect and the Yamen of the Governor of Henan. It can be said that Luoyang is the world of the historian's knife. Since this person dares to speak disrespectfully to the Shi family knife in the temple of Emperor Guan Shengjun, he must have an amazing artistic career, but he must not turn his face suddenly, he must be careful to investigate. Thinking of this, Shi Tianbao forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "His old man is the father of the family. ”

The strange man smiled and said: "I heard that Shi Nianhao's martial arts are good, and he is the head of a thief who sits on the ground in Luoyang City to share the spoils, I don't know if it is or not?"

As soon as he said this, the faces of all the people in the Shi family changed greatly. Shijiadao is a martial arts orthodox sect, but it does have some contacts with some green forest cottages in Henan secretly. It's just that this is something that can't be put on the table, and Shi Jiadao naturally won't leak this matter. Hearing that strange man ridicule like this, no matter how well Shi Tianbao cultivated, he couldn't bear it. His face sank and he said, "I have already given your Excellency enough face." Since Your Excellency does not appreciate it, then I have no choice but to take you back and let your father do it. ”

The strange man was rude, and the disciples of the Shi Family Sword behind him were already annoyed, standing aside and rubbing their hands, just waiting for Shi Tianbao to give an order, they were about to draw their swords and face each other. At this time, when Shi Tianbao said this, he only heard the sound of "choking" drawing a knife. I saw more than a dozen disciples of the Shi Family Knife behind Shi Tianbao rushing out wielding a cold and shining steel knife, and surrounded the strange man in the middle. The strange man was not afraid, and sneered: "Listen to your Shi family's fall, boy, you are so loud, do you really think that the Shi family knife is the official yamen, and if you say that you will take people?"

Shi Tianbao said: "Whether the Shi family is the official yamen or not, you can't judge." However, you did not say anything about your words, and you beat others in the temple of Emperor Guan Shengjun, violating the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Since our Shi family knife has run into it, we can't ignore it. ”

After he finished speaking, with a wave of his right hand, the two Shi Family Sword disciples shouted in unison, and the steel knife in his hand slashed towards the strange man. The strange man dodged and dodged, slapped out his left palm, and struck straight at the back of a Shi Family Dao disciple's heart. At this time, two other disciples of the Shi family knife came up from the left and right, and the two steel knives slashed the strange man's neck and his lower abdomen. The strange man had to withdraw his left palm, and with a twist of his body, he had already snatched two steps forward, avoiding the two steel knives. Just in the blink of an eye, two more disciples of the Shi Family Knife in front of him pounced, brandished the steel knife in their hands, and slashed down with their heads and faces.

In a matter of moments, the twelve Shi Dao disciples had all made a move. I saw the swords flashing, mixed with the shouting and shouting of everyone's shots, and the fight was very lively. Shi Tianbao stood aside, looking coldly at the strange man's martial arts. Seeing him dodging left and right in the shadow of the sword, he tended to retreat back and forth, although he did not show his defeat, but the circle of defense was getting smaller and smaller, and he was obviously at a disadvantage. Shi Tianbao's heart was relieved, and he secretly thought: "This person is arrogant and rude, I originally thought that he was equipped with a stunt, but at this time, it seems that it is nothing more than that. It's just that this person is arrogant and rude, he has to be caught, brought back to knock out a mouthful of his teeth, look at his stinky mouth, do you dare to be rude to Shi Jiadao?!"
