Chapter 82 Huashan Festival
Lu Jinping took Ye Qingqing and Yunzi and others to the banquet dining room, and found a middle-aged man standing in the corridor, like a statue. This man dressed like a monk, but he was completely different from the Buddhist outfits in the Middle Earth of the Tang Dynasty. He was wrapped in a black turban and wearing a black cassock. His hands were as dry as pine bark.
Yunzi ran up intimately and said a few Tubo words with his hand in his hand, and then said to Lu Jinping: "Justice Lu, this is the Nanobenqiong Dharma King, our Tubo guardian Vajra. His magic and martial arts are very powerful. He is my and my brother's master. This time he came from Tubo. He arrived two days ago to protect the Princess of the Tang Dynasty into Tubo."
Lu Jinping nodded and bowed his hand with his fists: "I have seen the Dharma King!"
Nanobenqiong quickly smiled and stepped forward, put his hands together and said, "Sir, I have heard from the little disciple Yunzi that the little disciple Yunjiu is trying to resolve the little disciple Yunjiu's crimes, which has not affected the marriage. I am very pleased. Thank you for your help. Yunzi invited me to attend the banquet. I am very happy and can express my gratitude to you in person."
Lu Jinping was very fluent in Chinese and was a little surprised: "The Dharma King is very fluent in Chinese. Is he also a professor of the Han official?"
Nanobenqiong smiled and said, "It's not all. I did learn Chinese with Tubo Han officials when I was young, but when I grew up, I traveled around the Tang Dynasty for many years and became a disciple and friend. Therefore, language is not a problem."
"The Dharma King is known as the first Vajra of the Tubo Dharma Protector. His martial arts must be very good, right?"
"Learning martial arts is nothing more than strengthening the body and subduing demons and demons. It is not about coming to fight with others to win. Therefore, the high or low martial arts skills are not important to me. What is important is the ability to subdue demons and demons."
"So, is the Dharma King good at subduing demons and demons?" Lu Jinping's words were a bit ridiculous. He could believe that the other party's martial arts skills were very high, but if it comes to subduing demons and demons, it would be considered superstitious.
Unexpectedly, Nanobenqiong didn't seem to hear the meaning of joking, and smiled and said, "It is our duty to subdue demons and demons, so we naturally need to study carefully. As for whether we can say that we are good at it, we dare not say that, we just do our best."
Yunzi said proudly: "My master is the first guardian of the Tubo Vajra Dharma. He can be said to be the first martial arts master in the Western Regions. He received a hero invitation from your martial arts leader He Fei. He will come to participate in the five-year competition for the world's No. 1 martial arts master hosted by you in the Huashan Sect."
Lu Jinping was surprised and happy and said, "The martial arts leader's grand event...? Huashan School?"
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Nanobenqiong's mouth: "Yes, the event for the Martial Arts Leaders will be held once every five years. We, Tubo, are also in the remote Western Regions, have also received invitations. I am very honored. I am here to watch and ask all the martial arts seniors in the Tang Dynasty for advice."
Lu Jinping was very excited and read a lot of martial arts novels in modern society. When it comes to martial arts events, they are all full of excitement. But today they can actually be there. Such a conference is of course a good thing that cannot be missed.
He thought that this kind of thing would only happen in martial arts novels, but he didn't expect that he would know that it was true when he traveled over. In fact, it was easy to understand. Because the ancients used cold weapons, they attached great importance to martial arts. In addition, there were few entertainment activities, so of course they were just trying to make trouble on this. Therefore, various events such as martial arts making friends and fighting are emerging one after another, which is equivalent to the current literary and artistic evening party singer grand prix, etc.
Lu Jinping hurriedly bowed and said, "I don't know when it will be held? Can you take me to see the fun? Although I don't know martial arts, I yearn for chivalrous people. I will have topics of conversation after dinner when I come back."
When Yunzi heard this, he was overjoyed and shook Nanobenqiong's hand and said coquettishly: "Master, the Lord wants to go and see it, so you can take him with you. The road is lively. Isn't it good?"
Nano Bonqiong smiled and nodded and said, "What's wrong? I heard that this event for the martial arts leader, those who received the heroic post can go there, but those who did not get the martial arts heroes from all sides would go there on their own. Huashan Sect also welcomed them, but they just took care of their own food and accommodation. Of course, there is no problem for the Lord to follow us. I believe that Lord is so noble that they will come out to entertain us. This event will be held three days later. Calculate the day, and it will be almost time for us to leave tomorrow morning. Since Lord wants to go, we will go together tomorrow morning."
After the decision was made, Lu Jinping was very happy. Therefore, the banquet was very happy. Yunjiu and his sister both had a good alcohol tolerance. After drinking, they sang and danced, and the whole banquet was very happy.
The next morning.
Lu Jinping asked for leave from the Yamen Medical College and Luo Sihou. When Luo Sihou heard that he was going to watch the martial arts ceremony, he immediately took out a stack of sea arrest documents and handed it to him, saying: "These are all great thieves in Jiangyang. They may appear at this Huashan martial arts event. I was planning to send someone to see if they could find something. Since you are going, it just happened that you should take a team of constables to go there. If you find a great thief, you will immediately arrest them." Speaking of this, he said mysteriously, "These great thieves in Jiangyang have a huge reward for arrest. If you catch one, you can make a fortune! Hehehe."
Lu Jinping also smiled, thinking that although the fortune is important, life is even more important. Since these thieves who offer a large reward of money are not so easy to catch, otherwise they would have caught them long ago, so how could they wait until they make this fortune?
At that moment, Luo Sifa called Captain Xiong and asked him to bring a few good martial arts detectives to change their casual clothes and follow Lu Jinping to Huashan to participate in the world's No. 1 martial arts event to check if there were any thieves from the imperial court's sea captures involved.
So Lu Jinping led Ye Qingqing to follow Nanobenqiong, Yunzi, Yunjiu, and Xiong captain and other constables, as well as several strong Tubo guards around Yunzi, rode straight to Mount Hua on horseback.
It was already evening when we arrived at the foot of Mount Hua.
They were originally planning to stay in the market town at the foot of the mountain for one night, but when they arrived, they found that all the inns in the market town were full, and even the aisles were full of people. After asking, they were all famous tourists from all over the world. They knew that these martial arts fairs that happened every five years were all here to open their eyes and gain knowledge and increase their experience. There were men and women all over the world, and from time to time, they could see people competing for martial arts.
Do you want to sleep on the streets? Fortunately, Captain Xiong is the captain. Although he has changed his casual clothes, he has brought his official documents and waist signs with him. He found the local village clan's house and showed it. He only said that he was here for official business. The village clan hurriedly invited them to settle down at home and served them with wine and food. So he had a beautiful meal and lived in a clean and spacious house. Only then did Lu Jinping realize that the yamen runners still had many conveniences when going out to do business.
The next morning, they placed the horses at Muramasa's house and started climbing the mountain.
Huashan is steep and many places are very steep and can only be passed by alone. Lu Jinping has never practiced martial arts, so it is very difficult to climb.
Nanobenqiong smiled and said, "Sir, I'm here to carry you!" They bought a rattan chair from a woodcutter's house on the roadside and tied it to Nanobenqiong's back with ropes. Lu Jinping sat on the rattan chair with his back, and also helped the rope as a seat belt. Nanobenqiong ran up the mountain with Lu Jinping sitting in the rattan chair on his back.
Although he was carrying a big man, he was still walking like a flying step. Yunzi, Yunjiu, Ye Qingqing and the Tubo personal guards could still keep up, while Captain Xiong and other detectives fell behind soon.
Nanoben Dome ran upwards, and even the nearly vertical stone steps, he jumped up easily.
Lu Jinping sat in the rattan chair behind him, looking at Yunzi following behind, and seeing that she was as light as a swallow, he couldn't help but exclaim: "I didn't expect Miss Yunzi to be so good at martial arts."
Yun Zi smiled, looked at Ye Qingqing who was following him with a squint, and said, "You girl is also very good at martial arts."
Ye Qingqing and Yunzi almost went side by side, not falling behind. They were not inferior to Yunzi in terms of light skills alone. Although Lu Jinping introduced Ye Qingqing as his girl, Yunzi knew from Ye Qingqing's name to Lu Jinping that she was just a personal maid of Lu Jinping. A maid was so skilled in martial arts, which shows that there were endless martial arts masters in the Tang Dynasty.
