Chapter 32 : Recruiting relatives in martial arts
Sweet City is the traffic artery in the southwest.
The "Holy Water Temple" in the city (the Holy Water Temple is located in the suburbs of Tiancheng City, is one of the eight jungles in Shu) is known as "the first Zen forest in Zhongchuan", because of its long history, the historic sites are all over the temple, the monks and great virtues come out one after another, and enjoy a lofty position in the Buddhist circles of Shu.
The Holy Water Temple was built in the Xiantong period of the Tang Dynasty (860-870), the Song Dynasty was named Xingci Zen Temple, and later because there is a spring water flowing out of the mountain behind the temple, it does not dry up all the year round, the water quality is pure, sweet and refreshing, it is regarded as a spiritual spring, so it is renamed "Holy Water Temple". The "Xilin Temple" on the outskirts of the city is located on the Xilin Mountain on the bank of the Tuojiang River in the sweet city. It was built in the fifth year of Xianchun in the Southern Song Dynasty (1269), burned down at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and rebuilt in the third year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1798). The main building of the temple is composed of the triple hall of Guanyin Hall, Wenchang Hall and Daxiong Hall.
All of them are winged flying roofs, and the roof ridges are engraved with colorful figures, beasts, and dragon images. The ancillary building has a meditation room, an ancestral hall, a viewing hall, a fine house building, etc. There is a stone workshop of the Ming Dynasty in the temple, with a single door and two pillars, and the shape is simple.
In front of the temple, there is a picture of the Ming Dynasty wall, the front is the Ming Dynasty Wanli period Liu Xiangyan wrote the three words of "Zixia Realm", the back is the handwriting of the Ming Dynasty scholar Zhao Zhenji's book, the pen gesture is vigorous and powerful. The ancient trees around the temple are towering to the sky, and the Tuojiang River under the mountain is like practice.
The great poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty sent his friend Fan Jinqing's poem to have the name of "Qingshan Hengbei Guo, white water around the east city", so the people of Yi built a Taibai building in front of Xilin Temple in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, which has survived to this day. World famous. Connecting the middle of the city to the outside of the city are two bridges.
The first is Tuoqiao. Because the Tuojiang River passes under the bridge, it is called Tuoqiao when the residents do.
The second is the Xilin Bridge. The two bridges span the north and south banks, and the Tuojiang River, which is speeding through, passes under the bridge day and night, pouring for thousands of miles.
Leaning quietly on the bridge in the evening, or climb the Xilin Temple on the side of the Xilin Bridge, the lights of the whole sweet city can be seen.
Coupled with the green mountains on both sides of the strait, the river breeze is refreshing.
Gaoliang Town is a border town 60 miles away from Sweet City. It passes through Gaoqiao, Tianjia, and Taiping, and has to walk through a rugged mountain road to get here. It's a remote place, and many people don't know about it, but that's actually how it was. However, I don't know why, the town of Gaoliang Town has suddenly become inexplicably lively in the past two days.
On this day, the sun had just crossed three poles.
The streets and alleys of the town were bustling with martial arts figures dressed in various costumes, and they were hurrying towards the Wan Clan's mansion five miles outside the town.
It turned out that Wan Jinlian, the only daughter of Wan Dashan, the richest man in Sweet City, set up a ring in her mansion outside her hometown to compete in martial arts.
Miss Wan is not only a sinking fish and a goose, like a flower like jade, but also smart and kind, but also the "Sanyuan Tower" tower owner [Sanyuan Tower, located in the Sanyuan Mountain on the right bank of the Tuojiang River four kilometers south of Tiancheng City, was built in the Tang Dynasty, and was destroyed at the end of the Ming Dynasty. An ancient city of Han'an (sweet city) can not do without a tower, so after the collapse of the Sanyuan Tower, there is a move to build a high temple tower. Qing Jiaqing ten years (1805) rebuilt the Sanyuan Pagoda, according to the "Tiancheng County Chronicles": "Ten miles of gentlemen Luo Liangcun, Zou Yanzao, Chen Ziwang, Liu Zhongyuan, etc., re-petitioned the Yi Ling Gu Wenyao donation, advocating the first grain households to live happily, turning over the former site to rebuild, where ten floors, eight feet high. In the twentieth year of Jiaqing (1815), Ai Rongsong, a native of Yi, carved a stone for a preface and said: "Neiyi humanities, this dynasty (Qing) is far inferior to the prosperity of the previous generation, and the north tower is gone, and the size of the two continents is the river brush, I don't know why the embankment is protected." If the tower is not restored, there is no yao in front of it, and if the embankment is not built, there is no pillow in the back. "The decay of humanity and the lack of official fortune are all pushed to the tower if it is not repaired, so the people of Yi petitioned to build a tower to be a closed disciple of Jingling Shitai in order to be a close disciple of Jingling Shitai. Jing Ling Shi is a strong martial artist, enjoys a high reputation in the martial arts, and is a respected martial arts predecessor in black and white. Today is the day of the apprentice Wan Jinlian competition to recruit relatives, and the old man also came to the scene. One is to look at the future beloved son-in-law, and the other can suppress those who have evil thoughts, so as not to cause trouble.
At the same time, the old man also invited famous martial arts seniors in the martial arts to participate.
This can be regarded as a rare event in Sorghum Town in a century.
Because of this grand event, Gaoliang Town, an insignificant town, suddenly became famous all over the country and attracted many martial arts knights.
The simple, honest and kind people of Gaoliang Town were busy all of a sudden, warmly welcoming guests from all over the world.
You see, the sun has just risen three poles, and the square outside the "Eagle Cliff" is already bustling with people of all levels.
But when I saw this move, he was two feet and five feet high.
Left link: Luan Feng and Ming Wanli look at the wings
Right link: husband and wife love for a hundred years
Horizontal criticism: Happy marriage
On both sides of the stage, more than a dozen people sat high.
Miss Wan Jinlian, dressed in a bright costume, stood there, extremely charming and charming.
How capable is a hairy girl in her early twenties, how capable is she to dare to set up a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, is she really not afraid that the wind will flash her tongue and arouse the resentment and resentment of the young hero?
The martial arts seniors are really, they don't control this arrogant junior well, and they still coax her blindly.
"I don't know what they're thinking? Which tendon went wrong. "People keep criticizing.
Just when everyone was talking to each other.
Three piercing gongs rang out on the stage.
Everyone in the audience hurriedly stopped silently and looked up to see what was going on?
At this time, an old man over sixty years old, ruddy complexion, and a little fat body had come out of the stage.
Everyone knows that this person is the richest man in this place for hundreds of miles - Wan Dasan, a good man. Wan Dasan moved his fat body to the front of the stage, and said loudly to the heroes in the audience: "Today is the day of the little girl's martial arts competition, the old man is very grateful for the presence of all the heroes in the world, all the unmarried men who are over 20 to 30 years old and in good health can go to the stage to compete, if the little girl can be defeated, he will marry the little girl in the church and become a couple." Whoever loses the contest on stage, the old man will give fifty taels of silver as the passage fee, and now the time has come, all the heroes please come to the stage to compete!"
At this time, the audience boiled. Heroes, you look at me, I stare at you, they are all weighing their martial arts. The reason is very simple, it turns out that this ring is two feet and five feet high, there is no ladder, and it all depends on the light skills of one person to go up. Just by virtue of being able to jump two feet and five feet in the air, there are very few people with this ability in the martial arts, not to mention the younger generation.
However, there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people.
At this time, a young man dressed in yellow and nearly thirty years old had already shouted, "Let me give it a try." In the shouting, the entire figure of the young man in yellow had jumped into the air and jumped into the air with a "harrier turning over" and landed gently on the ring.
Everyone in the audience couldn't help but shout loudly, "Okay!" and the elders on the stage couldn't help but nod in approval. But see this man in yellow: mediocre appearance, thick eyebrows and big eyes, lion's mouth, a little beard under his cheeks, nearly thirty years old.
The man in yellow clasped his fists at everyone. "Under Wang Chao, please Miss Wan for advice. ”
Wan Jinlian hurriedly clenched her fists and arched her hands: "Brother Wang is a guest from afar, Jinlian is slacking." Paused and said, "I don't know what weapon Brother Wang makes, Jin Lian asked someone to prepare for you." ”
"No need," Wang Chao replied with a fist cup: "Let's talk about the level of our fists and feet!"
"Okay!" Wan Jinlian thought about it: "Brother Wang is a guest, you make a move Jinlian to take it." ”
"Then you're welcome. Wang Chao replied politely, and in the middle of the answer, his body suddenly bullied Wan Jinlian three feet in front of him, and as soon as he raised his hand, he struck Wan Jinlian with a move of "Shark Fighting Waves".
Wan Jinlian suddenly felt a strong force covering herself. Secretly said: "This Wang Chao's martial arts are not bad, I have to deal with it carefully." "Fortunately, Wan Jinlian's martial arts are strong, and when she saw Wang Chao attacking, she dodged sideways. As soon as his hand was raised, the palm of his hand had already struck Wang Chao's door. At the same time, a "dry land plucking onions", followed by a move of "wind attack residual lotus" to split the opponent's "shoulder well" hole.
Wang Chao was frightened, and hurriedly dodged sideways, standing aside and staring at Wan Jinlian in a daze. He couldn't believe that he was a good player in the entire Kongtong faction, and it was rare to see it in a hundred years in the younger generations, and he was defeated in the hands of Wan Jinlian in one move, and it seemed that this groom official had nothing to do with him Wang Chao. Losing is winning and losing, Wang Chao is a righteous knight, and he can afford to put it down. Seeing that he was defeated, his face turned red, and he clenched his fists and arched his hand and said: "I, Wang Chao, am convinced." As he spoke, he jumped out of the ring.
When the Wanfu family saw Wan Jinlian win, they cheered in unison.
