Yu Fan saw that this person was only in his twenties, and there was nothing unusual about his body and appearance, so he was secretly surprised. The man didn't seem to care, and after nodding to Yu Fan, he stood lazily on the edge of a big tree, scanning the pilgrims in front of the main hall. If it weren't for Yu Fan's last night when he saw this person standing under the stone archway, he wouldn't have suspected that he was following him.

Yu Chengsi said in a low voice: "This person's martial arts are very high, it seems that not only we are eyeing him, but this kid is also eyeing us." ”

Yu Fan thought to himself that if I told Cheng Hei about the fact that he stood outside the Tianyi Inn last night, I was afraid that he would not be able to hold his breath, and he would already be fighting with this person at this time. There are thousands of people inside and outside this temple, and there must be many people from the rivers and lakes. Even if this man in gray wants to be against me, he can't do it openly here.

Thinking of this, Yu Fan smiled slightly, and said to Cheng Hei: "Although there is no friend or foe at this time, this person is mostly because I rescued the naughty boy on Cuiyun Peak, and I was curious, so I followed us and wanted to find out." If it weren't for that, I'm afraid I would have done it a long time ago. Let's leave him alone, just wander around this temple. Even if something does happen, let's adapt to the situation, and it is not a big deal. ”

Yu Chengsi nodded yes, but he was a little surprised in his heart, and glared at the man fiercely. Seeing that Yu Fan had already walked towards the main hall, he had to follow into the main hall.

Yu Fan walked into the main hall, only to find that there was a cave in the hall. He remembered that when he entered the main hall when he was a child, he saw the statue of Guan Yu. It's just that when I walked into the door of the main hall at this time, I found that this was not the main hall where the statue of Guan Yu was enshrined, but just a side hall in front of the main hall. Standing in the middle of the side hall, you can see the main hall behind the side hall.

Yu Fan shook his head, secretly thinking that he was just a child back then, and after entering the Guan Emperor Shengjun Temple, he only remembered some gods with hideous faces, but as for the regulations of the building, he could not remember it clearly.

At this time, the side hall was also crowded with pilgrims. Dozens of pilgrims lined up in three rows, kneeling to the ground, kowtowing in the direction of the main hall. Yu Fan had no intention of kneeling, he originally wanted to pass through the side hall and go straight to the main hall. It's just that this side hall is crowded with people, and it is difficult to find a place to stand, so I have to move slowly with the flow of people.

At this time, there were two old men standing in front of him. The old man on the right was wearing a crown of yarn and a dignified face, and he was proudly saying to the old man on the left: "The most uninformed people in the world are the men and women in the streets and alleys. Just like this front hall, some of these stupid people call it the front hall, and some call it the side hall, and it has been falsely spread for hundreds of years, and no one has corrected it, isn't it ridiculous?"

The old man on the left said: "Brother Dong Nian is rich in five cars, and he is full of wealth, so he naturally doesn't take these stupid people in his eyes. However, this palace is located in front of the main hall, and it is called the front hall or side hall, but I am afraid that it also has its reason. ”

Brother Dong Nian sneered and said, "Brother Mei Nian's words are wrong. Those of us who study must remember the teachings of the Master, and when we do learning, we can make a difference of a millimeter and a thousand miles of error. Brother Mei Nian was born in Fujian, and this is the first time he arrived in Luoyang, so it is understandable that he does not know the origin of this Emperor Shengjun Temple. It's just that these stupid people in front of me have grown up in Luoyang since they were children, but they don't know the origin of this palace, doesn't it make people laugh?"

Yu Fan saw that this Dong Nian brother looked poor and sour, and he was secretly amused in his heart. But I heard Brother Dong Nian continue: "The world only says that Master Guan is the world's most powerful general, and he is the number one general in the world. But I didn't know that he was defeated in Maicheng back then, and was captured by Sun Wu, and finally ended up in a different place, which was really a great shame. Among my famous Chinese generals, there are Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Li Mu, Lian Po, Xiang Yu, Han Xin, Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide, Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi, Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng, Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, who are also Han generals with Master Guan. Not to mention Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, Le Jin, Le Wenqian, Yu Ban, Yu Wenze, Zhang He, Zhang Junyi, Xu Huang, Xu Gongming. As for the subsequent Li Jing, Li Yaoshi, Xu Ji, Xu Maogong, Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao, Xue Li, Xue Rengui, Cao Bin, Cao Guohua, Yue Fei, and Yue Pengju, their achievements surpassed those of the previous generations, far above Master Guan. As for the founding generals of this dynasty, such as Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, and Chang Yuchun, the king of Kaiping, they are all famous generals who destroyed a country, and their martial arts are extremely prosperous. But these famous generals, whether it is recorded in the history books or in the folk comments, are all ranked below Guan Yu, Brother Mei Nian, what do you think?"

Yu Fan thought secretly in his heart: "This Dong Nian brother is obviously a sour person, but it seems that he has read a lot of books and remembers the names of many generals." Looking at his age, most of them are an official of Zhishi, who brought his old friends to visit the temple of Emperor Shengjun of Guan, taking the opportunity to show off his talents. ”

Brother Mei Nian said with a smile: "When I was studying under Teacher Wang's account, Brother Fool admired Brother Nian's talent. If you talk about high opinions, you naturally have to listen to Brother Dong Nian. ”

That Dong Nian brother smiled, turned out to be an undoubted look, and said triumphantly: "In fact, if you look through the history books, you can know that before the Song Dynasty, Guan Yu was just an ordinary general, and in the martial arts temple, he often ranked last. During the Tang Dynasty, it was even more because Guan Yu had surrendered to Cao Cao, and because of the death of the army, it was difficult to call him a good general, and his tablet was withdrawn from the Wucheng Temple. It's just that after Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, threatened by Liao and Jin in the north, the Song army was repeatedly defeated and battled, and the wind of sacrificing Guan Yu arose in the army. Guan Yu also ascended to the sky in one step from an ordinary military general, and was not only named the emperor in the end, but also became the god of folk sacrifice. After the completion of the Guandi Shengjun Temple, this palace was built in front of the main hall to worship the Guandi Shengjun. It is because this palace is neither the front hall, nor the side hall, and its name is actually a worship hall. ”

Brother Mei Nian listened to Brother Dong Nian's eloquent talk and said with a smile: "Brother Dong Nian is high-minded, and the younger brother admires it." ”

Yu Chengsi followed Yu Fan and heard the conversation between the two clearly. He lowered his voice and said to Fan: "My lord, this old guy said bad things about Master Guan in the Gongdi Shengjun Temple, and he was not afraid that Master Guan would be angry and send a palm thunder to kill him alive?!"

Yu Fan shook his head at him and signaled him not to speak falsely, so as not to lead people to misunderstanding and cause trouble again.

At this time, the two of them slowly moved forward with the flow of people, and they were about to walk out of this worship hall. When Brother Dong Nian heard Brother Mei Nian's compliment, he was extremely proud in his heart, and he spoke even more unscrupulously. I only heard him say: "Brother Mei Nian, next year will be the year of the big exam, as long as we win the lift, we will be able to write a few splendid articles, and discipline the world to know Guan Yu's true face......"

When Yu Fan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Listening to this Dong Nian brother's talk, he originally thought that this person was full of wealth, learned and rich, and must be an official who was a Zhishi, but he didn't expect this person to be old, but he was just a poor and sour talent who had never even been lifted, and he actually made a lot of nonsense in the Guandi Temple, which really made people laugh off their big teeth. If Guan Yunchang has a spirit in the sky, he is afraid that as Yu Chengji said, he will hit a palm thunder from the air and kill this Dong Nian brother on the spot to set an example.

After half a moment, Yu Fan and Yu Chenghei finally squeezed out of the worship hall and arrived in front of the main hall. Yu Fan looked fixedly, this main hall is seven rooms wide, three rooms deep, and more than eight feet high. Looking up, it is the top of the palace system, covered with glazed tiles, five ridges stand horizontally, six beasts are mighty, the end is majestic and solemn, and the momentum is compelling. The main entrance is made of sandalwood, and there are 12 sets of relief woodcuts on the door panel, which depict the life stories of Guan Yu such as Taoyuan Yuyi and Sanying Zhan Lu Bu.

Na Dong and Mei stood in front of Yu Fan and Yu Chenghei, pointing to the plaque in the main hall and talking. But I heard Brother Mei Nian say: "The four big characters of 'loyalty and righteousness' on this plaque are quite expressive, and they can be regarded as a good word." ”

Brother Dong Nian pursed his lips and said with disdain: "This is the word of Zhao Mengfu of the Yuan people, and it is the road of Mi Fu of the Song people." Mi Fu this person is most fond of the ancients' post, because of this, his words have become four not like, looks amazing, but in fact, it is 'people see, I don't know what to do'. Among the four major Song people, Cai Xiang, Su Shi, and Huang Tingjian can all be called their own family. Only this Mi Fu copied the West, and there was no wind and bones. Zhao Mengfu abandoned Su, Huang, Cai did not learn, but to practice Mi Fu's words, can only laugh generously, in vain to leave a laughing stock. Haha, haha. ”

Yu Fan listened to Brother Dong Nian's nonsense, picking bones in the egg, despising these two poor sours in his heart, and didn't want to go with these two people, so he was about to pull out his legs and walk towards the main hall. At this moment, I suddenly heard someone sneer, and said to Brother Dong Nian: "A white ding, he dares to make irresponsible remarks in front of the saint, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous." ”

When Yu Fan heard this person say, he really had a relationship with me, and I couldn't help but secretly shout hello. That Brother Dong Nian was furious, his hands were clenched into fists, his head was scanned left and right, and he said angrily: "Which bastard who doesn't know how high or low dares to bark here?!"

only heard the sound of "snap", and Brother Dong Nian had been slapped in the face. At this time, hundreds of people were crowded in front of the main hall, and Dong and Mei were mixed in the crowd, so that everyone didn't see who slapped him. This slap was quite heavy, and Brother Dong Nian was beaten to the ground and spun around twice, so that he stabilized his figure. I saw him cover the right side of his face with his right hand, look frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "Who, who dares to hit me...... Aren't you afraid that I'll sue the official?"

Before he finished speaking, there was another "snap", and Brother Dong Nian received another slap on the left side of his face. He turned two circles to the right, a red handprint appeared on his left cheek, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

This time, Yu Fan saw it clearly, and the person who slapped Brother Dong Nian twice was a man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks. This man was in his thirties and forties, dressed in a navy blue robe, and was inconspicuous in the crowd. He shot like lightning, and hid behind a big man, so that everyone didn't see that it was him who hit someone. It's just that Yu Fan and Yu Chenghei are strong in martial arts, but they can see clearly when they stand on the side.

Brother Dong Nian suffered a big loss, and he no longer dared to be arrogant, covering his face with his hands, and squeezed out of the crowd and fled in a hurry with Brother Na Mei Nian. Many of the pilgrims heard Brother Dong Nian's nonsense, and they were already dissatisfied with him, and at this time, when they saw that this poor and sour Xiucai had fled from the main hall like a lost dog, they shouted hello. A few pilgrims took advantage of the chaos to pick up the rubble on the ground and threw it at Dong and Mei. Seeing that they had provoked the anger of the public, where did they dare to turn back, they fled out of the worship hall in embarrassment with their heads in their hands, and ran out of the temple of Emperor Guan Shengjun in a puff of smoke.

Yu Fan didn't pay attention to the two poor sours who escaped, but kept staring at the person who taught Dong Nian a lesson. Seeing Dong and Mei fleeing in a hurry, the man just smiled slightly, and then walked towards the main hall. Yu Fan was about to follow, but inadvertently found that the gray-clothed man had also walked into the courtyard in front of the main hall at some point, two or three feet away from the man, and walked towards the main hall in a zigzag manner. Yu Fan's heart sank, secretly thinking that the man in gray had also stared at that person, but he was afraid that this matter was not simple, and there was something strange in it.
