Hegemony

Chapter 61: Xingguo Temple

Looking at the deserted big account. Xiao Yan walked out. As soon as he arrived outside the tent, he saw two horses galloping in the distance, dozens of steps away! I heard a delicate shout from afar: "Brother Xiao, where are you going!"

Xiao Yan was stunned and forgot this. Yue Xiao'e and Yue Lin didn't know what to do in the past few days. Xiao Yan's mind was on the exchange of a golden soldier hostage, and forgot about it.

"Miss Yue, what are you in a hurry to do?" Xiao Yan asked first when he saw them coming in front of him.

"I'm here to resign." Yue Xiao'e replied.

"Resign, what's wrong with you?" Then he understood with a "ah-oh" sound, and Zhang Xian escorted grain and salary back to Xiangyang today. During this period, Xiao Yan also saw that there was a little meaning between Zhang Xian and Yue Xiao'e. Zhang Xian was going to leave, and Yue Xiao'e certainly wanted to find an opportunity to be together.

nodded repeatedly and looked at the two with a smile on their faces. Yue Xiao'e's face blushed slightly, "Thank you, General Xiao, for your hospitality during this period. At the same time, I also thanked General Xiao for the great righteousness on behalf of Xiangyang's brothers."

"You're welcome." Xiao Yan hugged his fist and said, "Marshal Yue is now my master. We are a family now, so you don't have to be polite."

"Yes! Sister Xiao'e, you can also call Brother Xiao. Yue Lin said carelessly.

"Brother Xiao." Yue Xiao'e felt a little awkward for the first time and shouted, "This time I will go back by myself. Linmei will stay in Jiankang and wait for her father."

Xiao Yan is very fond of Yue Lin. She has a cheerful personality and looks like a woman. But this period is simply too busy to spare no time at all.

After listening to Yue Xiao'e's words, Yue Lin thought that Xiao Yan was not happy to stay in Jiankang. As soon as she pouted, she was about to be angry.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan hurriedly said, "I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it." After saying it, she found that this sentence was ill, and Yue Lin felt a sweet heart after listening to it. But when he looked back and saw the smile on Yue Xiao'e's face, his face was also hot. He said coquettishly, "Sister Xiao'e, don't laugh..."

Xiao Yan stood on the side and dared not interrupt. Fortunately, Gao Zhan came to interrupt the embarrassing situation at this time, "General, are we going to the recruitment site?"

Xiao Yan looked at the two people and didn't say anything.

"What recruitment site?" Yue Lin asked.

"At present, there are too few officials in Jiankang Mansion and the garrison army, so they recruit talented people in the whole Jiankang and Jianghuai Road. As long as they have a skill, they can sign up. Once hired, they will be immediately be awarded nine-grade martial arts or civilian positions. In addition to monthly pay, they will also reward ten mu of fertile land. According to the report just now, it is a recruitment. It's like a cloud!" Gao Zhan returned.

"Sister Xiao'e, let's go and have a look. Anyway, you won't leave until the evening." Yue Lin asked excitedly.

"No." Yue Xiao'e replied, "I'll go to Dongcheng to see the shipment of materials. You and Xiao... Brother, let's go together." I'm not used to changing my words for a while.

As soon as Yue Lin heard that Yue Xiao'e didn't go, she was a girl after all, and she was embarrassed to say that she wanted to see it. "Then I won't go either." He couldn't say anything, but there was a disappointed expression on his face.

Xiao Yan saw the costume and said with a smile, "Well, let's go to Dongcheng to see the shipment of materials first. When I come back, I will practice it for you, and then I will accompany you tomorrow, okay? This recruitment will take three days!"

"Okay!" Yue Lin said happily.

___________________

In that dynasty, the opportunity for young men and women to meet before marriage was basically rare and rare. When you get to the bridal chamber, lift the cover, beautiful as a fairy or ugly as salt, then you will be in peace. Yue Xiao'e and Zhang Xian can not only meet but also talk and laugh together before marriage. This is because both of them are in the army, with a little less bondage of feudal etiquette, but in this way, in the eyes of people at that time, they may have met more than modern netizens. As long as they are not dinosaurs, they will be more shocking.

What's good about shipping the goods? Before long, Yue Lin shouted that she wanted to go to Jiangshan in the south. Xiao Yan didn't care. She just went there to see how the outer city was built at the foot of the mountain. Yue Xiao'e's purpose is to be with Zhang Xian. It doesn't matter where she goes, only Gao Zhan is a little worried.

A few days ago, according to the report of Shenfengwei, the original Mani religion in the south of the Yangtze River was rekindled. Zhang Jiao was his grandfather, named justice, and he was dedicated to the imperial court. Now tens of thousands of people at the foot of Jiangshan, dragons and snakes are mixed, in case of a mistake...

However, Xiao Yan also looked excited and was not easy to disappoint him, so Gao Zhan called a garrison soldier who was transporting supplies at the ferry, secretly ordered him, and then followed him to look around and rush up.

Four people plus a high battle following around, turning east and west. Along the way, Xiao Yan used the rich knowledge of later generations to talk about some anecdotes of Jiankang and Jiang Shan, and the previous dynasty was mixed with later generations. Along the way, not only Yue Lin and Yue Xiao'e were very interested, but also Zhang Xian was surprised.

When it was almost dusk, the four of them still seemed to be exhausted. Gao Zhan reminded behind him, "General, it's getting dark. Let's go down... Let's talk about it again." Saying that, he touched his stomach and said, "You are not hungry!"

Gao Zhan said that several people felt a little hungry and said that they had gone down the mountain.

"Look at it!" Yue Lin pointed to the smoke from a mountain in front of her and said, "What kind of place is that? It seems that there is someone's home."

The four people looked at it, and then everyone looked at Xiao Yan puzzledly. Xiao Yan smiled.

Of course, he knows where the mountain is. He has been here countless times in later generations, but he doesn't know that the current Linggu Temple is different from later generations. He pretended to be mysteriously and said, "You will know."

Several people breathed and came to the smoking place just now, which turned out to be a large-scale temple. Xiao Yan saw that the temple in front of him was similar to that of the temple of later generations, but the place seemed to be a little wrong. When he approached, the name of the temple turned out to be "Taiping Xingguo Temple". Fortunately, I left my hand just now. If I rashly say the three words of Linggu Temple, I can't explain it at this time.

"Brother Xiao, have you been here before? Do you know it's a temple? Yue Lin asked in a hurry.

"Hmm!" Xiao Yan nodded. Ah-oh." Xiao Yan suddenly shook his head again.

confused everyone, but Xiao Yan looked mysterious and didn't ask. At this time, a small sami came out of the temple door, which should have come out after hearing the sound outside the door. He walked to several people and put together "Amitabha" with one hand and said, "Several benefactors, this temple does not accept foreign guests now. Please come back! It's getting late and it's inconvenient to go down the mountain.

When the little monk said this, it was unexpected. Seeing the puzzled color on his personal face, the little Shami was one again. "Please forgive me for the inconvenience."

"Who said we were going to enter the temple? We were just going outside." Xiao Yan also felt surprised and wanted to deliberately tease the little Shami.

"Oh." Little Sami didn't expect Xiao Yan to say so, his face was slightly surprised, and a panic flashed in his eyes.

"Well, well, I'm sorry to bother you." Little Shami said that he was about to turn around and walk back.

These people were born in the army, and their eyes were not bad. Except for Gao Zhan, who felt that the temple was a little strange and had responsibilities, he tried his best to persuade several people to go back and wait for more people to come up together one day. The four-person residence was very interested. Later, they couldn't resist leaving a mark on the road outside the temple and ran to the door "Dong... Dong..." Knock on the door.

"Squeaky", the door opened, revealing a bald head, still the little Shami. Seeing that several people had not left, he asked, "Lord, as I have said, this temple does not accept incense guests." Then the door will be closed.

Zhang Xian took a step forward and pressed on the door, but Xiao Shami couldn't close it. He simply opened the door and came out and said, "What do you want to do?" Xiao Yan rushed forward and smiled, "What do you call the master? I'll wait for a few people to travel here to the mountain and ask each other for a bowl of water to drink from the temple."

The little Sami seemed to be very embarrassed and hesitated and didn't say anything. At this time, a loud Buddha name came from inside, "Amitabha Buddha."

A fat and red-faced monk came out. Little Sami saw a panic on the man's face and quickly pushed Zhang Xian with his hand, but he couldn't push it. Seeing that the fat monk came out, he quickly withdrew his hand and stood aside and stammered and said, "I... I..." pointed to Xiao Yan and several people on the right, "he... He... They."

The fat monk glanced at the little Shami, turned around and smiled at Xiao Yan and said, "How many benefactors, do you dare to ask what's doing in this temple?" Saying this, his eyes stared at Yue Xiao'e and Yue Lin, emitting a hint of greed, but he just lowered his head and occasionally looked at it, but no one noticed it.

After listening to Xiao Yan's intention, the fat monk smiled more and said, "Six benefactors, it's an honor to visit the temple. Please come to the temple." With the gesture of invitation, he turned his back to Xiao Yan and others and said to the little Shami, "Zhing, why don't you go back to die and prepare for a good treat of the benefactors..."

The little Shami's face suddenly turned pale and ran to the temple in panic.

At this time, Xiao Yan and others looked at the fat monk without turning around, "There is something strange in this temple."

Several people followed the fat monk all the way to a hall and looked at the hall with the closed door. Xiao Yan was about to come forward when the fat monk suddenly turned around and said, "Sir benefactors, please come here."

Xiao Yan and others are determined to see what is strange in this temple. He also smiled easily and said, "Isn't it a little disrespectful to meet the Buddha and not worship the temple? How about the master let us do our best?

The fat monk hesitated and turned around and said, "Since several benefactors are sincere to Buddha, it is a blessing for a small moment. He came to the gate of the hall, opened the door and stretched out his hand, "Please."

Xiao Yan stood outside the hall, looked at the slowly opening gate, and slowly saw that there was a Maitreya Buddha worshipped in the middle of the hall. Looking at the big Buddha inside, Xiao Yan felt uneasy in his heart. Slowly, when I saw the eyes of the Buddha, I found that they were like a pair of living eyes, shining with cold light. Xiao Yan felt a chill in the bottom of his heart, but there was nothing different when he blinked and looked at it again.

"Speakers, please inside!" The fat monk said again. It interrupted Xiao Yan's thoughts.

Xiao Yan and others slowly walked into the hall. Gao Zhan stayed outside the hall. When the fat monk saw that Gao Zhan did not go in, he greeted him. Gao Zhan didn't say anything but shook his head. The fat monk had to give up and followed Xiao Yan and others to the hall.

As soon as he entered the palace door, the chill in Xiao Yan's heart was even stronger. He looked at the other three people and saw that they were also solemn. How could he travel to the mountain just now make him relaxed and comfortable, as if he also felt danger. Several people were about to kneel down on the futon pressed in front of the Buddha when Xiao Yan suddenly felt a slight imperceptible vibration on the ground.

shouted, "It's not good."
