Fifty-four, Iron Buddha Temple

Puzhao Temple in Dongguang County, Cangzhou, Hejian Prefecture is a famous temple with a radius of hundreds of miles. The nearby villagers call Puzhao Temple the Iron Buddha Temple. Because the main hall of Puzhao Temple is enshrined with a statue of Sakyamuni as high as three meters high, solid iron cast and weighing 108,000 kilograms. It has only been 20 years since the temple was built. Due to years of flooding, the people of Dongguang County thought it was the dragon of the Bohai Sea that stirred up wind and waves, so they used cast iron Buddhas to suppress it.

On March 18th, Cao County suffered a flood. Although the people of Cangzhou were not affected by the disaster, they were also frightened. People came to Tiefo Temple to incense and make wishes. After worshiping Buddha and praying, they all rushed to the bride-recruiting ring outside the mountain gate to watch the fun.

Cangzhou is common for martial arts competitions and brides, but a woman who is so beautiful and has such a strong martial arts skills have never seen her. She has set up a bride to brides for ten days. This beautiful woman named Mu Guiying accepts challenges from three men every day. So far, she has defeated twenty-seven men who compete on stage. Twenty of them were kicked off the ring by her powerful whip legs. Ten were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured.

This woman was extremely cruel, not like attracting a kiss, but she treated her enemies. However, because of her beautiful people, the martial arts students who did not know how to live or die, went to power one after another. In order to compete for the three places to challenge the day, they fought in the audience first.

This Mu Guiying is said to be a Xianbei person, but this recruitment is not limited to the Xianbei people. Other ethnic groups, including Han people, can participate in the arena competitions. Therefore, in recent days, young children fighting in several counties in Cangzhou can be seen everywhere. Those heroic and proud martial arts teenagers met on the road. When they talk about going to the Tiefo Temple to compete for martial arts, they immediately became particularly jealous like a cockfighting, and they started fighting on the spot, and those who lost did not have to go.

Therefore, the four counties in Cangzhou have become as lively as the festivals these days.

...

Early in the morning of April 16, two young women kneeled under the iron Buddha seat of the Main Hall of Puzhao Temple. These two women were slim in shape, dressed differently than ordinary women, and were covered with veils.

The woman on the left lowered her head and murmured to pray. The woman on the right looked around and thought that the light in the hall was not very bright in the morning. She lifted up her veil and showed her pretty face. Her eyes were shiny, but when her eyes turned, she looked a little dull. She lifted the veil and looked up at the tall and upright iron Buddha, and said, "Sister Guiying, you come to pray every day, but this iron Buddha just doesn't appear!"

The woman on the left was Xiahou Liusu, whose name was changed to Mu Guiying. She ignored the female companion next to her. After praying for three times, she got up and pulled up the female companion and said angrily: "Xiao Zhou, tell you not to talk nonsense, why don't you listen!"

The girl who called Xiao Zhou quickly put down her veil and said nothing.

Liusu held the girl Xiao Zhou's left hand, gently touched her right arm, and asked, "Did it hurt better today?"

The girl Xiao Zhou turned her mouth and said, "It still hurts, but her left knee is also hurting, a big piece of black green, Sister Guiying, look——" As she said that, she was about to lift her skirt and show Liusu her knees.

Liusu quickly pressed her skirt and lowered her voice, "Go back to the room and show it to my sister. Girls can't just lift their skirts outside."

"Oh." The girl Xiao Zhou nodded at the teachings, imitated the appearance of Liusu, and walked out of the Iron Buddha Temple slowly and arrived at a row of temporary bamboo houses outside the mountain gate.

Mu Yun, whose left arm was broken with his elbow, sat and drank wine with his brother Mu Yu, while drinking. The tea was Cangzhou candied dates. Mu Yu's son Mu Hong stood on the side. When Mu Yu saw Liusu and Xiao Zhou coming back, he asked with a smile: "Gui Ying, has the Buddha appeared today?"

Tassel removed her veil, her beautiful cheeks were slightly red, her eyelashes squirted, and she said half-cool: "Why did the adoptive father say such disrespectful words to the Buddha!"

Mu Yu smiled and said, "How dare I disrespect the Buddha? I just asked you this. You go to ask for Buddha every day—"

Mu Yun, who had a rough and frosty appearance and slightly frosted temples, glanced at his daughter, put the chopsticks on the table, and said in a rough voice: "What kind of Buddha, I just don't believe it. Chen Duhu was in the Daxing Buddhist Temple in Quanzhou before, so he was so pious to worship Buddha, but what ended up!"

Liusu said carefully: "When Dupu Chen lives in Jinling, if he can live his life, it will not be the blessing of the Buddha."

Mu Yun glared at his eyes and said, "Nonsense, that's what kind of raising one's life? That's imprisonment. The Buddha didn't open his eyes and specifically protected a bastard like Zhou Xuan!"

Mu Yun was about to scold Zhou Xuan as soon as he drank, and Liusu quickly said, "Dad, if it weren't for the cause and effect mentioned by the Buddha, how could you meet my mother from Mengshan to Quanzhou and give birth to me?"

Mu Yun loved his deceased wife very much and said, "That's not the Buddha's eyes open, that's the kindness of Chen Dupu."

Liusu didn't want to say much: "Dad, adoptive father, daughter is going to prepare, there are three more games today." He took the girl Xiao Zhou's hand and left the bamboo house and went to the next room to change his clothes.

Mu Yu said: "Brother Yun, I see that Guiying is very affectionate with that Zhou Xuan. Judging from what Guiying said, Zhou Xuan is not a heartless person—"

Mu Yun felt unhappy when he heard this, and shook his right hand and said, "Brother, don't you say this anymore. Do you want me, Mu Yun, to send my daughter to the mansion of Zhou? The man surnamed Zhou is my enemy. If I don't touch his mansion, I'm considerate of Liusu, no, I understand Guiying's thoughts - Alas, I am a useless person now and I can no longer serve Chen Dupu."

Mu Hongju, son of Mu Yu, also likes to read some books and said, "Uncle, when the Shu lord Meng Chang surrendered to the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin poisoned Meng Chang to death within half a year, and even occupied Meng Chang's favorite concubine, Mrs. Huarui. The prospects for Chen Dupu are worrying."

Mu Yun's heart was thrust up again and cursed Zhou Xuan, saying that if Chen Duhu had a bad reputation, he would kill Zhou Xuan and take revenge.

Liusu heard it in the bib and said, "Dad, everyone said that the Emperor Li Yu of Tang State is kind and would never be like Zhao Kuangyin."

Mu Yun was still angry and hatred. Mu Yu shook his head and said, "Brother Yun, let's not talk about those-" and said, "We made an appointment with Gui Ying to set up a bride for ten days. Now nine days have passed. Gui Ying is so cruel. I guess no one dares to play today. After today, Gui Ying will never marry for the rest of her life."

Mu Yunyuan wanted his daughter to find a good match for martial arts, so that her daughter could give up completely against Zhou Xuan. Unexpectedly, her daughter was really powerful in martial arts and was not merciless at all. In fact, in terms of martial arts, a few days ago, a Xianbei child named Yao Meng was not under Liusu. The two of them fought for a long time and did not decide the winner. If they continued to fight, Liusu was a woman. If they didn't have enough strength, they would definitely lose. Yao Meng was here to marry, not to fight fiercely. He naturally took advantage of Liusu Rong's one or two points. Liusu took advantage of this and suddenly swept Yao Meng off the ring with a whip leg. Yao Meng got up and shouted on the stage, "What are you trying to kiss? If you don't want to get married, just hide at home." He left angrily-

Mu Yun sighed, "This child is too stubborn. If she doesn't marry, she won't marry. When I close my eyes and kick my legs, I can't control her if she wants to find Zhou Xuan."

Mu Hongju smiled in his heart: "Although Uncle Yun broke his arm, he is still strong and strong. He is less than fifty years old this year. It is okay to live for another twenty years. At that time, Guiying's sister was 30 or 40 years old. She still went to find Zhou Xuan, but Zhou Xuanren couldn't recognize him." He said: "Dad, uncle, the child heard rumors outside that Yun Tianjing, the number one master in Cangzhou, may be able to arrive today-"

Mu Yu said in surprise: "I have heard of Yun Tianjing's name. He has a wife."

Mu Hongju said: "Yun Tianjing's wife died of illness the previous year. She has a son and a daughter, and they are still young."

Mu Yu said: "It's too aggrieved that Guiying is the other person's re-string and has to take care of his ex-wife's children."

Mu Yun was unwilling either. He hoped that Liusu would find a young and handsome young man with high martial arts skills and compare Zhou Xuan. He said, "Liusu is determined not to marry, and he just wants to deal with me as an old father. Even Yun Tianjing can't do anything to her. What can she do if she never admits defeat?"

Mu Yu said: "Yuntianjing is different from others. He knows the Ziwu Liuju acupoint stimulation technique. Liusu is not his opponent. He is extremely moved after being clicked. If he refuses to give up, he will lose."

Mu Yun said anxiously: "I thought Yao Meng was good the day before yesterday, but she defeated her, so she asked Yun Tianjing to marry her. She is not as good as others' skills, what else can I say!"

Mu Yu shook his head and said, "Gui Ying is stubborn. If she really loses to Yun Tianjing and she refuses to marry, she is afraid that something unpredictable will happen."

Zhou Xuan and his party arrived at the Canal Wharf in Cangzhou early in the morning on April 16th. When they went ashore, they heard that a woman named Mu Guiying set up a bride at the Tiefo Temple in Dongguang County for ten days. Today is the last day. The first nine days ago, they defeated countless martial arts teenagers in Cangzhou. They were so cruel, but there were so many teenagers who were greedy for Mu Guiying and American sex on the stage and asked her to beat her. Oh!

When Zhou Xuan heard that Liusu was unbeaten, he felt a little relieved. He knew Liusu was doing this for her father to see. He felt pity and wanted to fly to Liusu's side, and said, "Hurry up and hurry up."

The Cangzhou Canal Wharf is thirty miles away from Dongguang County. Zhou Xuan and his party didn't have time to eat breakfast and rushed to Dongguang County. Zhou Xuan asked Yulinwei, his personal soldiers and the powerful tiger to protect the Yang Xiaopin who was riding on the car to come slowly. He and Sichi, Yang Zongbao rushed there quickly.

An hour later, Zhou Xuan and his other two rushed to Dongguang County. It was almost noon. When they saw an inn on the roadside, they wanted to attract business, so they asked how to get to Tiefo Temple?

The inn guy smiled and said, "The three heroes are here to fight and kiss. If you want to say that Miss Mu is really amazing, there are endless young heroes from all over the world these days. Even if you don't play, it's good to take a look at Miss Mu--"

Zhou Xuan threw a few coins of broken silver to the mate: "Stop talking, take us to the Iron Buddha Temple."

The guy Xie Zhouxuanshen said, "The two games in the morning have already been over. Miss Mu kicked two children of military officials who claim to be a master of martial arts off the ring. There is only the last game left in the afternoon. The three guests don't need to hurry. The afternoon is still early, and it's not until three minutes. The three of them are from afar. It's better to go to the small shop to have a meal first, otherwise they will not have the energy to go to the ring to compete when they are hungry.

A person on the street window on the second floor laughed and said, "Brother Tianjing, your competitor has arrived. There is only one place to go on stage in the afternoon. I have to go on stage and hold the beauty back, so I have to deal with these people first."
