Just like the core of the Shaolin Sect is the Shaolin Temple, the core of the Bronze Gate is the Bronze Temple.
However, no matter in terms of strength, number of people, or the number of tenants below, they are far inferior to the Shaolin Temple.
The Bronze Temple is located near Qingtong Gorge in Niushou Mountain. It has been passed down for 150 or 60 years. The ancestors once worshiped Li Jiqian, Li Yuanhao and his son. Such a temple, after being passed down for 150 years, can not be regarded as flourishing.
Mao, but in the small Linhe County of Xiping Prefecture, the tree has big roots and deep roots, and is powerful, so it can be relied on by the government to collect taxes from the villages and towns below.
Therefore, for Hejiacun, the Bronze Temple is a mountain towering above their heads, but at the same time it is also an existence that is deeply hated.
Feng Zhou was about to destroy the Bronze Temple at this time. Although He Ying was frightened, he was full of expectations.
If the Bronze Temple is really destroyed, not to mention bringing out a huge amount of wealth, it will still be able to show its prestige in Linhe County and raise its head in front of the government.
Feng Zhou rode on a good horse, followed by He Ying, and ran towards the Bronze Temple.
Although He Ying followed Feng Zhou, he had already arranged for his men to contact other villages. After all, it is best not to do this alone. The more people he can draw into the water, even if the Bronze Temple is destroyed, the government will have no choice but to take action.
Blame the public.
Feng Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly and thought secretly.
Although the Xia Kingdom lagged behind the Jin and Song Dynasties in terms of economy, it was able to survive tenaciously under the attack of several big powers, which shows that Xixia still has military strength.
But since Emperor Renzong, Li Renxiao, came to power, the military has gone downhill. Therefore, Fengzhou's awe of Xia is far less than that of the Jin and Song Dynasties. In the final analysis, this is because Fengzhou's strength is getting stronger and stronger.
Xia is a small country after all.
The focus of Xixia's military strength was set on a triangle with Xingqing Prefecture as the center, with 70,000 people guarding Xingqing, 50,000 people guarding Xiping Prefecture in the southeast, and 50,000 troops stationed in Helan Mountain in the northwest. The left and right wings and the four north and south sections of Henan
Troops were also deployed on the line. Among them, 50,000 people on Youzhou Road in the left wing and 50,000 people on Yanzhou Road in Henan Province defended the Song Dynasty, 70,000 people on the Anbei Road in Hebei Province defended the Liao Dynasty, and 30,000 people on the Ganzhou Road in the right wing guarded the Tubo and Uighurs.
All together, there are about 500,000, but as a country thousands of miles away, hundreds of thousands of troops are scattered within the country's borders, just like boiling water pouring soup, it has no effect at all.
And as a super strong man with an innate deep state of mind, if Xixia wanted to deal with him, he would have to mobilize at least tens of thousands of troops to pursue and intercept him.
However, Fengzhou's target was the Great Witch King Hong Zhong. No matter how powerful this person was, no matter how powerful his magical powers were, he was not the emperor of Xixia after all, nor was he respectful of his power, so he could not mobilize the army effectively.
To run rampant in Xixia, you just need to try not to touch Emperor Li Renxiao's bottom line. Xixia will not deploy elite troops unless it is a last resort.
Feng Zhou held the reins and thought quietly.
He Ying led the way, and the two horses galloped away, thinking of the Bronze Temple.
…
At this time, in a small room of the Bronze Temple, many senior officials of the Bronze Temple gathered here and were having a heated discussion.
"Senior nephew Fang Ming has contacted the Linhe County Yamen and rushed to Hejia Village. Regardless of whether there are any spies there, Hejia Village must be dealt with properly this time."
A monk put his hands together and said to the monk at the top.
In this small room, the person sitting at the top is an old monk who is nearly eighty years old. He is short in stature, has sagging skin, and all his teeth have fallen out. But where he sits, there is no one in the room.
Dare to make the slightest move. Especially when facing the old monk's eyes shining with wisdom, no matter who it is, they will be filled with awe.
This is the abbot of the Bronze Temple, Zen Master Yuanzhi.
At the same time, he is also the one with the weakest cultivation among the many warriors and warlocks in the Bronze Temple.
However, he has been the abbot of the Bronze Temple for thirty years by virtue of his wide sleeves, good dancing, good way of making money, good relationship with dignitaries in Xiping Mansion, and excellent ability to do things.
Next to Zen Master Yuanzhi, there was an extremely strong middle-aged warrior monk. This man closed his eyes and folded his hands, bowed his head in silence, and placed an old Qingtang Huanshou sword beside him.
Although the monk said nothing and was like a statue, no one present dared to ignore his presence. This was because he was Huichuan, a disciple of Zen Master Yuanzhi, the most famous martial arts master and master master in Xiping Prefecture in the entire Western Xia Dynasty.
The reason why the contemporary Bronze Temple can be favored by the government and become a military guarantee for tax collection is because of the existence of Huichuan, a master.
"Well done to Fang Ming, Huiyin. I heard that He Ying has a daughter named Azi who is naughty and doesn't know the Dharma. I asked Fang Ming to bring her here and ask Huichuan to teach her the Dharma. I must make her a convert."
I am Buddha.”
"Yes!" The standing monk Huiyin kowtowed respectfully.
When he was about to retreat, Huichuan next to him suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were like swords and said: "Wait a minute, has the news said who the spy is?"
"This...I heard he is a young master who can do some kung fu and knock He Kuan away with one punch." Huiyin said with a slight hesitation.
"The news came from Shenlong Temple that one of the rivals of the Great Witch King, a Taoist priest from the Song Dynasty, is coming to Daxia to fight against the Great Witch King. I think he must be a Taoist. So I thought that the spy from Hejia Village might be
Since this person is a young master, it is naturally impossible."
Huichuan said calmly.
"My master has heard about this, but what the Great Witch King said was so vague that we don't know the details. But since the Great Witch King doesn't want to go into details, we don't have to worry about it. After all, what does the war between gods and gods have to do with us.
Yuan Zhi said with a smile.
"What Master said is absolutely true." Huichuan nodded and said no more.
It is the Master who has experienced the world and has clear insights.
Unlike myself, who is obsessed with martial arts.
How could a Taoist master and rival of the Great Witch King Hong Zhong be involved in such a trivial matter?
Just when he thought of this, there was suddenly an earth-shaking loud noise in the distance. While everyone in the room was in shock, a monk suddenly rushed in at the door in a panic:
"Master Abbot, someone is calling in!"
"Oh? How can you be so flustered?"
Before Yuan Zhi and Huichuan could speak, senior officials from the Bronze Temple stood up and shouted angrily.
You must know that the temple of Bronze Temple is similar to other temples in Niushou Mountain. There are hundreds of warrior monks. It is built on the mountain and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The monks inside are equipped with sufficient weapons and have accumulated more than a hundred years of experience.
, even the bed crossbow is equipped.
Even if the private soldiers of the nobles in Linhe County want to attack, it will be very difficult. First of all, they have to face the obstruction of the monks. It is precisely with this strong accumulation that the Bronze Temple has firmly established itself as the king of the dark forces in Linhe County. Apparently,
It's a joke to say someone invaded.
"It's He Ying from Hejiacun and a young Han scholar." The monk said with a panicked face.
"How is that possible?"
There was a sudden exclamation in the room, and Yuan Zhidu's expression changed slightly.
They were just discussing the affairs of Hejia Village, thinking that the two junior brothers led by Fang Ming, together with the county government officials, must have destroyed Hejia Village long ago and counted the wealth.
Suddenly the news came that Hejia Village was knocking on the door. This is really a joke.
"It seems that the spy should not be underestimated!"
Huichuan, who had been silent all this time, slowly stood up and walked towards the door first. His palms were very steady, and he tightly held the famous Xixia ring-shou sword 'Que Yue'.
"With Huichuan here, no master will be vulnerable." Many senior officials of the Bronze Temple woke up from the shock and stood up one after another, following Huichuan closely.
This disciple of the abbot Zen Master is the person with the highest martial arts talent in the temple for more than a hundred years. He is also one of the four great swordsmen of Xixia. He is also the mainstay of the Bronze Temple. With him here and the many monks, why should we fear others?
Even Yuan Zhi, with the support of several handsome young novice monks nearby, stood up and followed.
