Luo Xiao was standing on the street of the North Market, walking in the direction of leaving! There were vendors setting up stalls everywhere around him, shouts and shouts kept coming, and the dazzling array of goods was a bit dizzying!
There are various shops on both sides of the street, and people are coming and going at the door, which is very bustling! The streets are also full of people, and it’s so lively coming and going!
This is the North Market located in the "Ten Rooms" in the Huangsi area. It is the most prosperous local imperial temple in Fengtian. Its full name is "Lotus Pure Land Shisheng Temple". It was built by Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty and was also called "Imperial Temple". It is also called "Imperial Temple" because of the Lamaism. There are red sect, flower sect, white sect and yellow sect. The lama of Shisheng Temple is a yellow sect and wears a yellow hat. The temple buildings are also yellow, and it is also known as the "Imperial Temple".
Shisheng Temple was built in the first year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty, which was the year when the Shenyang Forbidden City was completed. The reason for the construction of Shisheng Temple is recorded in the first volume of "The Complete History of the Qing Dynasty": "Later Jin Tiancong" In the ninth year (1635), Emperor Daji destroyed the powerful Mongolian Chahar Lindan Khan. Lin's wife, the Queen Mother Nangnang and the Prince Ezhe, surrendered and presented the jade seal passed down through the ages in China, the Mahagara Golden Buddha and gold characters. The Buddhist scriptures were then carried on a white camel and they traveled to Shengjing (Shenyang) three miles west of the suburbs (now the Huangsi Temple) where they lay down and lay down."
"Paidu Miscellanies" records: "The white camel tomb is five miles west of the city, which is where the Mahakara Buddha came that day." After Huang Taiji learned about it, he gave it to build a lamasery here to show his importance and belief in Lamaism. Because of his piety, in order to show off his achievements in conquering the Mongolian tribes in the north and south of the desert, he named it "Lotus Pure Land Shisheng Temple". He also personally gave a seal to "Lotus Pure Land Shisheng Temple".
From then on, Huang Taiji would lead princes, ministers and Mongolian tribesmen who came to pay homage to Shisheng Temple to worship Buddha in the first ten days of the first month of each year (the first day of the lunar calendar).
In 1921, in order to open up the ground and prosper the city, develop the national economy and compete with foreign commercial ports, Zhang Zuolin ordered the development of the North Market near the "Shijianfang" in the Huangsi area. Subsequently, Fengtian Yamen assigned a land number.
Some big businessmen and big landowners rushed to occupy the territory, rent land, and build houses. After a few years of success, the three major department stores, Beishi, Minsheng, and Zhongyuan Department Stores (today’s Shenyang Department Store), and the Central Theater (today’s Shenyang Grand Theater) sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. ), Daguan Tea Garden (today’s Liaoning Youth Theater), and Gongyi Grand Stage (today’s Beishi Theater). There are three theaters including Fengtianza (today’s National Cinema), Baoan Cinema (today’s People’s Cinema), and Yunge Cinema.
Later, there were gold shops, restaurants, bathhouses, pharmacies, brothels, tea houses, large and small inns, clothing stores, watch shops, loan shops, hairdressers, photography, flower parties, opium dens, gambling dens, pawn shops, etc., and the list goes on. With the development of commerce, the population is becoming increasingly dense. There are storytellers, opera singers, wrestlers, medicine sellers, tooth extractions, pedicures, monkey charmers, mole spotters, gamblers, fortune tellers, jugglers, circus performers, and donkey shadow puppet performers. , those who talk about cross talk and double act, and those who perform showmanship, there are all kinds of strange things. In addition, food is the most important thing for the people, the market is prosperous, and the popularity is high.
Introduce some local snacks, such as pleated steamed buns, tea noodles with green silk roses, Qia Chrome noodles, Shen noodles, bowls of ground, jelly, pancakes and fruit, sliced noodles, cut cakes, Wuhua cakes, sorbets, sesame cakes, etc. Such as: old Bian dumplings, Sanhesheng steamed buns, Sanshengxuantan meat, Shunfayuan pot roast, Changjiaguan Shaomai, Puyunlou Baguo sauce pork, Chunfaxiang’s tripe, Yujiaguan’s fish, Gongle restaurant’s roasted pork belly Sea cucumbers and Runquanju's Chenshao sake are all famous in Fengtian. It's exactly this: there are many wine shops, people are buzzing, flags are flying, and teahouses are fragrant. At that time, the North Market was famous for "bringing together the Five Elements and Eight Works to beat the merchants and tourists." Famous for its prosperity, it is one of the three most prosperous areas in Shenyang along with Taiyuan Street and Zhong Street. It is comparable to Beijing Tianqiao, Tianjin Quanyechang, Nanjing Confucius Temple and Shanghai City God Temple at that time.
The distance from his current location to the street where the meeting point is is not too far. Luo Xiao walked through two streets, detoured around an alley, and reached the street he had agreed upon!
Before they separated, he made an agreement with Sun Dong and Jiang Yulan to meet here!
Before reaching the door of the beef noodle restaurant where they met, Luo Xiao saw the special operations team members standing there. Sun Dong and a few others were gathering together, talking in low voices, but when he looked around again
, and found that Jiang Yulan, who was supposed to join them, was nowhere to be found.
"Instructor, we are back and we have learned something about the situation!"
Luo Xiao stepped forward in confusion, and several special operations team members immediately saw him and hurriedly gathered around him, all rushing to report the news they had learned.
"Stop, let's talk after the information comes down." Luo Xiao raised his hand to stop everyone's words, and asked urgently, "Let me ask you, Jiang Yulan didn't join you?"
"No, isn't he with you, instructor?" Several people were stunned and looked at each other, then they all shook their heads!
Luo Xiao felt his head buzzing and knew something must have happened to Jiang Yulan!
Just now he was going to Shanhe Tea House to get information, so he asked Jiang Yulan to wait for him at the intersection. When he returned to the intersection, Jiang Yulan had disappeared. He asked passers-by and someone said that he had left with a man. He also
I thought it was Sun Dong and the others who took the person away!
He remembered that the old man buying groceries said that Jiang Yulan had followed a man. He thought it was one of his special forces members, but now he realized that it was not Sun Dong and the others. In this case, he must have been deceived!
Although she is a local, Jiang Yulan was born in the mountains and grew up in the village. She rarely comes to the city. She is relatively simple and can easily be deceived because of her trust in others.
Originally, Luo Xiao didn't want to bring her to the city this time, but she said she wanted to go around Fengtian City, and Luo Xiao felt that with him taking care of her, there shouldn't be any danger, so she agreed!
Something went wrong as soon as it arrived!
"Instructor, what happened?" Several special operations team members saw Luo Xiao's abnormal expression and asked hurriedly.
Luo Xiao shook his head, "Jiang Yulan may have been deceived. Let's search separately immediately. Report any news at any time and take out the walkie-talkies. It's important to save people now, so there's no need to worry about being exposed!"
"yes!"
Sun Dong and others took out earbud walkie-talkies from their pockets, clamped them on their ears, and after testing the frequency, they spread out and searched in one direction!
After Luo Xiao agreed to talk to them every ten minutes, he turned and walked towards the street where he and Jiang Yulan were just now. He thought that since Jiang Yulan was abducted there, there would definitely be some clues left!
No matter what, Luo Xiao will bring Jiang Yulan back safely!
