A knife in love

Chapter 506

Yu Fan was secretly surprised when he saw that this person was only in his 20s and his body and appearance were not unusual.The man didn't seem to care, after nodding to Yu Fan, he stood lazily beside a big tree, scanning the pilgrims in front of the hall.If Yu Fan hadn't seen this person standing under the stone archway last night, he wouldn't have suspected that he was following him.

Yu Chengsi said in a low voice: "This man is very skilled in martial arts. It seems that not only we are eyeing him, but this kid is also eyeing us."

Yu Fan thought that if I told Cheng Si about him standing outside the Tianyi Inn last night, he might not be able to hold his breath, and would have already fought this person at this time.There are thousands of people inside and outside the temple, and there must be many people from the Jianghu among them.Even if the man in gray wants to harm me, he can't do it openly here.

Thinking of this, Yu Fan smiled slightly, and said to Cheng Si: "Although there is no distinction between friends and foes at this time, this person is probably because I rescued the naughty boy on Cuiyun Peak, and he was curious, so he followed us and wanted to We have to find out. If it wasn’t for this, I’m afraid we would have done it long ago. We don’t need to worry about him, just hang around in this temple. Even if something happens, we can adjust it according to our own circumstances, and it will be fine.”

Yu Chengsi nodded in agreement, but he was a little suspicious in his heart, and gave the man a hard look.Seeing that Yu Fan had already stepped into the main hall, he had no choice but to follow him into the main hall.

Yu Fan strolled into the main hall, only to find that there is something hidden in the hall.He remembered that when he entered the hall when he was young, what he saw was the statue of Guan Yu.It's just that when I walked into the entrance 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 a side hall before the main hall.Standing in the side hall, you can see the main hall behind the side hall.

Yu Fan shook his head, thinking to himself that he was just a child back then. After entering the Guandi Shengjun Temple, he only remembered some statues with hideous faces. As for the regulations of the buildings, he could not remember them clearly.

At this time, the side hall was also full of pilgrims.Dozens of pilgrims lined up in three rows were kneeling on the ground, bowing their heads in the direction of the main hall.Yu Fan had no intention of kneeling down to worship, and originally wanted to go through the side hall and go straight to the main hall.It's just that this side hall is crowded with people, and it's hard to find a place to stand, so I have to move forward 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 is wearing a gauze crown, his face is hale and hearty, and he is proudly saying to the old man on the left: "The most ignorant people in the world are the men and women in the streets and alleys. Just like this front hall, these stupid people are called It is called the front hall, some call it the side hall, and it has been rumored for hundreds of years, but no one corrects it, isn't it ridiculous?"

The old man on the left said: "Brother Dong Nian is well-educated and full of knowledge, so naturally he doesn't pay attention to these fools. But this hall is located in front of the main hall, so it is called the front hall or side hall, I am afraid there is a reason for it."

Brother Dong Nian sneered, and said: "Brother Mei Nian's words are wrong. We who are scholars must bear in mind the teachings of the master. When we are learning, there is a slight difference and a thousand miles of error. Brother Mei Nian was born in Fujian. This is the first time I arrived in Luoyang, so I don't know the origin of the Guandi Shengjun Temple, which is understandable. It's just that these stupid people in front of me grew up in Luoyang since they were young, but they don't know the origin of this temple. ridicule?"

Yu Fan secretly laughed when he saw Brother Dong Nian's poor appearance.But I heard Brother Dong Nian continue to say: "People in the world only think that Master Guan is the most powerful general in the world, and he is the No. It is a great shame and humiliation. Among my famous Chinese generals, there are Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Li Mu, and Lian Po in the past, and Xiang Yu and Han Xin are among them. Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide, Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi, Ma Chao, and Ma Mengqi, who are also Han generals with Master Guan Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong are not inferior in terms of achievements. Not to mention Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, Le Jin, Le Wenqian, Yu Jin, Yu Wenze, Zhang He, Zhang Junyi, Xu Huang and Xu Gongming under Cao Cao's tent. Li Jing, Li Pharmacist, Xu Ji, Xu Maogong, Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao, Xue Li, Xue Rengui, Cao Bin, Cao Guohua, Yue Fei and Yue Pengju all surpassed their predecessors and surpassed Lord Guan. As for the founding generals of this dynasty, such as King Xu Da of Zhongshan and King Kaiping Chang Yuchun, are all famous generals who conquered a country. Their martial arts are extremely prospering, and Master Guan is hard to beat. But these famous generals, whether they are recorded in history books or popular among the people, are all ranked under Guan Yu. Brother Mei Nian, What do you think?"

Yu Fan thought to himself: "Brother Dong Nian is obviously a rotten person, but he seems to have read a lot and remembered the names of many generals. Looking at his age, he is probably a senior official. Invited old friends from the old days to visit the Guandi Shengjun Temple, and took the opportunity to show off their talents and learning."

Brother Mei Nian said with a smile on his face: "When I was studying under Teacher Wang's tent, Brother Yu admired Brother Nian's talent and learning. If you want to talk about high opinions, you must listen to Brother Dong Nian."

Brother Dong Nian smiled, and he looked unsuspecting, and said triumphantly: "Actually, you can know from the history books that before the Song Dynasty, Guan Yu was just an ordinary general. , often at the bottom. In the Tang Dynasty, it was because Guan Yu had surrendered to Cao Cao, and because of his death and annihilation of the army, it was difficult to be called a good general. Liao and Jin threatened, and the Song army suffered repeated defeats and repeated battles. There was a trend of offering sacrifices to Guan Yu in the army. It was indeed the courage of Lord Guan. Guan Yu was also an ordinary general. It became a god of folk worship. After the Guandi Shengjun Temple was completed, this hall was built in front of the main hall to worship Guandi Shengjun. Therefore, this hall is neither the front hall nor the side hall. , its name is worship hall.”

Brother Mei Nian listened to Brother Dong Nian's eloquent talk, and said with a smile, "Brother Dong Nian has a great opinion, and my younger brother admires it."

Yu Chengsi followed Yu Fan and heard their conversation clearly.He lowered his voice and said to Fan: "My lord, this old fellow speaks ill of Master Guan in Gongdi Shengjun Temple, isn't he afraid that Master Guan will get angry and strike him to death with a palm thunder?!"

Yu Fan shook his head at him, signaling him not to speak nonsense, so as not to cause misunderstandings and cause trouble again.

At this time, the two moved forward slowly with the flow of people, and they were about to walk out of the worship hall.After hearing Brother Mei Nian's compliment, Brother Dong Nian was extremely proud, and he spoke even more recklessly.I just heard him say: "Brother Mei Nian, next year will be the year of the big exam. As long as we win the Juren, we can write a few beautiful articles and teach the world to know Guan Yu's true face..."

Yu Fan couldn't help laughing when he heard this.Hearing this brother Dong Nian's high-spirited talk just now, I thought that this man is full of knowledge and knowledge, and must be a high-ranking official. Unexpectedly, at this age, he is just a poor scholar who has not even passed the exam. Zhongda uttered nonsense, which really made people laugh out loud.If Guan Yunchang has a spirit in the sky, I'm afraid it's really like what Yu Chengsi said, he will strike a thunderbolt from the sky, and kill Brother Dong Nian on the spot, as a warning to others.

After a while, Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi finally squeezed out of the worship hall and arrived in front of the main hall.Yu Fan looked intently, the main hall was seven rooms wide, three rooms deep, and over eight feet high.Looking up, it is in the shape of a verandah roof, covered with glazed tiles, five ridges stand horizontally, and six beasts show off their power.The main entrance is made of sandalwood, and there are twelve embossed woodcuts on the door panel, depicting the life stories of Guan Yu, such as Taoyuan Jieyi, Sanying and Lu Bu.

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

Brother Dong Nian curled his lips, and said with disdain: "This is the character of Zhao Mengfu from the Yuan Dynasty, and it is the way of Mi Fu from the Song Dynasty. His handwriting has turned into four different images, which looks amazing, but in fact it is "people see it, but don't know why it is the main one." Among the four great families of Song Dynasty, Cai Xiang, Su Shi, and Huang Tingjian can all be called a family of their own. Only this Mi Fu copied Western learning from the east, and he has no strength of character. Zhao Mengfu abandoned Su, Huang, and Cai instead of learning, and went to practice Mi Fu's calligraphy, which can only make people laugh and leave a laughingstock. Haha, haha."

Yu Fan listened to Brother Dong Nian's nonsense, he was picky, he despised these two poor people, he didn't want to go with them, and was about to walk towards the main hall.At this moment, someone suddenly sneered, and said to Brother Dong Nian: "It's ridiculous that a white man dares to make irresponsible remarks in front of a saint."

When Yu Fan heard what this person said, he really felt sorry for me, so he couldn't help but secretly shouted hello.But Brother Dong Nian was furious, clenched his hands into fists, glanced left and right, and said angrily: "Which bastard who doesn't know how high or low dares to bark here?!"

There was a "slap", and brother Dong Nian had already been slapped across 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 no one could see who slapped him.The slap was quite heavy, and Brother Dong Nian was beaten so hard that he turned twice on the ground before he stabilized his figure.I saw him covering his right face with his right hand, with a terrified expression on his face, he said in a trembling voice: "Who, who dares to hit me... Aren't you afraid that I will sue the government?"

Before he finished speaking, there was another "slap", brother Dong Nian was slapped again on the left cheek.He turned two circles to the right, a red handprint appeared on his left cheek, and blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth.

This time Yu Fan could see clearly that the person who slapped Brother Dong Nian twice was actually a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.This man was about 40 years old, wearing a navy blue robe, and was unremarkable among the crowd.He shot like lightning, and he hid behind a big man, so everyone didn't see clearly that it was him who hit someone.It's just that Yu Fan and Yu Chengsi have high martial arts skills, but they can see clearly from the side.

Brother Dong Nian suffered a great loss, he no longer dared to be arrogant, covered his face with his hands, squeezed out of the crowd with brother Mei Nian and fled in a hurry.Many of the pilgrims had heard Brother Dong Nian's nonsensical remarks, and had long been dissatisfied with him, seeing this poor scholar flee from the main hall like a bereaved dog after being beaten, they immediately shouted.Some pilgrims even picked up the gravel on the ground and threw it at Dong and Mei.Seeing that they had provoked the anger of the crowd, the two dared not turn their heads, and fled out of the hall of worship with their heads in their hands, and ran out of Guandi Shengjun temple in a hurry.

Yu Fan didn't pay attention to the two poor men who escaped, but kept staring at the man who gave Brother Dong Nian a lesson.Seeing Dong and Mei running away in a hurry, the man just smiled and walked towards the main hall.Yu Fan was about to follow, but he accidentally found that the man in gray had also walked into the courtyard in front of the main hall at some point, two or three feet away from the man, and was walking towards the main hall in a zigzag way.Yu Fan's heart trembled, and he thought to himself that the man in gray was also staring at that man, maybe this matter is not simple, and there are other strange things in it.
