Guandi Temple, on the west side of Liangzhou City, is a temple covering an area of several acres. In fact, the Guandi Temple itself is not very big, but with the Jieyi Workshop and Sanyi Pavilion next to it, it is very big. This also has a lot to do with the fact that the people of Liangzhou City highly respect the word 'righteousness'.

However, since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, the imperial court has revered literature and suppressed martial arts, so the literary style has gradually flourished. During the reign of the first emperor, he ordered the construction of a wider and larger Confucian Temple in the east of the city. Every year, the prefect took a group of students to the Confucius Temple to pay homage to the saints. In addition, there are several students who entered Beijing to take the exam, and all of them went to high school after visiting the Confucius Temple, which made the students in Liangzhou believe in the Confucius Temple even more. Even some students from the surrounding state capitals have come to pay homage, just because they are contaminated with a trace of the breath of saints.

However, most ordinary people still believe in Guan Erye, so the incense of Guandi Temple has never decreased.

And the Guandi Temple really fell into the appearance of today's ruined walls, which originated from a thunderstorm night more than ten years ago. What kind of night was that? Many people who have seen the scene at that time still have lingering palpitations when they think about it now.

It was not yet noon that day, and the sunny weather suddenly turned into dark clouds rolling and thunder rumbling. The tumbling dark clouds, like swimming ink snakes, are intertwined between heaven and earth. In the end, it merged into a giant serpent, dominating the entire sky, constantly opening its mouth and roaring up to the sky.

Many of the animals were hiding in their houses and refused to come out. Even the wildest earth dogs were hiding under the table and shivering. Many shops closed early, and the wandering vendors returned home early. Therefore, Liangzhou City Street, which used to be crowded with people, was already empty before Shen.

Not long after nightfall, with the sound of lightning and thunder, it finally began to rain, and the rain seemed to have broken through a hole.

Until Chen Lao Liu, who was on the watch, woke everyone up door to door. The people who came out of their clothes saw that the raging fire ignited in the Guandi Temple had illuminated most of the sky, and the lightning that kept crossing the sky made a very strange picture.

According to Chen Laoliu's later arrangement of the dragon gate array, he only saw a lightning bolt thicker than a bucket, and it struck the eaves of the Guandi Temple with a 'bang', and then the whole house began to burn, swallowing up the surrounding houses. At the same time, he also saw a white light burst out of the sky from the direction of the main hall of the Guandi Temple, flying towards the north. Although everyone laughed at him for blowing nonsense, Chen Lao Liu insisted every time, he really saw the white light that looked very similar to Guan Erye.

Although the Guandi Temple was burned beyond recognition, only the lonely statue of Guan Erye stood in the center of the main hall, but there were still people who went to the Guandi Temple to worship. But the strange thing is that he never heard the deeds of Guan Erye's apparition again. This made everyone have to start to suspect that the white light that Chen Lao Liu saw was indeed the true body of Guan Erye. In addition, later, there was a hunter who went into the city to sell mountain goods, and because he missed the time to go out of the city, he stayed in the Guandi Temple. The next day, he was found dead in horror at the feet of Guan Erye. What's even more bizarre is that he can't find a single scar on his body, and he looks like he was scared to death.

At the same time, a mysterious rumor spreads - there is a big snake that eats people's souls living in the temple of Emperor Guan.

Since then, fewer and fewer people have gone to the Guandi Temple, and in the end, almost no one has gone to offer incense anymore. Gradually, it became a shelter for some animals, and then it was occupied by a group of beggars who didn't care about it, and until recently, it was forcibly robbed by a group of people of three religions and nine ranks.

Although most of the houses of the Guandi Temple were destroyed on that thunderstorm night, there was little left, but the Jieyi Fang and Sanyi Pavilion next to it were well preserved, although they were built for almost a hundred years, but most of the houses are still very strong.

Different from the cold and deserted atmosphere of Guandi Temple, the Yiyi Fang at this moment is brightly lit and full of people.

A group of bare-chested men gathered around a few broken tables in groups to drink and brag, and from time to time bursts of cheers and laughter, only to tear the roof over. As the saying goes, wine is less than a thousand cups for a confidant, for this group of men who beg for food on the knife edge, only spirits and beauties are the highest enjoyment in life. Although there are no beauties now, there is wine, meat, and brothers, and they are all right! In the midst of laughter, a bowl of liquor is in the stomach, and it is happy!

Therefore, the consumption of this wine is naturally like flowing water, and it does not take long for the wine to be drunk. In a hurry, Zhu Biao, a local snake, thought about it, and shouted loudly: "Come on, go to the east wing room and bring the wine!" After speaking, he said to the people at the same table with a smile, "This wine is not ordinary wine, it is much better than this Laoshizi sweet potato wine!"

"Fifth Brother Zhu, this is not interesting enough for you, don't you take out such good wine early! Do you want to keep it, go back and secretly hide in the bed with your sister-in-law to drink!haha!"

A thin man shouted loudly, although he was as thin as a monkey, but his voice was sharp and thin, and he deliberately pinched his throat to speak, and the hall suddenly burst into laughter.

"You kid can't spit out ivory in his mouth!" Zhu Biao heard this, smashed a piece of meat and bone with his hand, and scolded with a smile, "One day you know that you are foolish, do you know how much this wine jar is?" After speaking, he picked up a piece of wild boar and gnawed on it, waiting for the big guy to bid.

These men, don't look at the usual martial arts, they are basically masters who have no money. If you want them to guess, they really don't know the bottom in their hearts. Let's say it's high, I'm afraid that I'll be laughed at and haven't seen the world, let's say it's low, and I'm afraid that the main owner will say that I look down on people, it's really a dilemma.

In the end, it was the thin man who hesitated: "Is it difficult to ask for one or two?"

"Huh!" Zhu Biao rolled his eyes when he heard this, and stretched out a finger, "Then you can only buy a cup!"

"What?"

The man, whose face was flushed with alcohol, gasped when he heard the words. Then a man in a cardigan came over with a jar of wine and placed it on the table with a 'bang'. Then he stretched out his palm and slapped the sealing mud, and suddenly a strange fragrance wafted out. The eyes of the men looked towards the wine jar, and many of them shook their throats, swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, and a green light appeared in their eyes.

Just smelling this smell knows that it is good wine, usually only when passing by the restaurant, occasionally can smell it, but now it is in front of you, where can you still bear it.

At that moment, an old man with a red nose came over with a wine bowl and shouted: "Don't talk about those useless ones, let's have a bowl for the old man to taste!"

"Old ghost wood, which green onion are you, this bowl must be tasted first!" The crowd was separated, and an old man with a collapsed nose and small eyes also walked out, directly untied the wine gourd on his waist, fished out the wine jar and began to pour,

The old man Mu was anxious when he saw it, grabbed the old man's hand, and said angrily: "Gu Dachun, why do you have your share every time, do you want to fight?"

"I'm afraid you won't make it?" Gu Dachun's eyes widened when he heard this, and he stopped pouring wine, so he was about to make a move when he opened the stance.

The person next to him immediately grabbed the two of them, and persuaded them with a smile: "Both of them are seniors, and they can't hurt their anger for a jar of wine." ”

Zhu Biao was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and said with a smug face: "I don't dare to take credit, this is brought by Boss Xu of the 'Du Kang Wine Workshop', saying that he invited the big guy to drink, and if it is not enough, he will ask someone to send it." After speaking, he glanced at the man again, and the man waved his hand, and suddenly a few small people came over, all holding a jar of wine, and put the wine on the table in turn.

The two old men who were tense with each other let go of their hands when they heard this, and looked at Zhu Biao with blazing eyes. Even the men who were shouting loudly closed their mouths one after another. These men, looking at the five big and three coarse, can be intimate with you in a few words, but they can mix in the rivers and lakes, which one doesn't know a little bit of human sophistication. All the big guys basically know in their hearts, and the other party's big hand must not be drunk for nothing.
