The ministers looked at Hong Miao, who was kneeling on the ground, and their faces did not hide their disgust at all. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Several emperors of Che Chi believe in Buddhism, Buddhism is still the state religion in Che Chi country, incense is quite prosperous, there are many temples in the whole country, and the Zhiyuan Temple Gu is very wide, glazed tiles, white jade platform, Xuan He for a while. Xiu Li looked at Tang Sanzang, paused, and continued: "But these monks, relying on the favor of the first emperor, after being honest for a few years, began to reveal their true nature, first continued to encroach on and occupy the houses near Zhiyuan Temple, those who did not resist were fine, and those who resisted were injured at the lightest, and directly killed, so there were not a few people who died in the family, in just three years, the area of Zhiyuan Temple, which originally covered an extremely wide area, was doubled, in addition to the imperial palace, it was like the largest building in the country of Chechi. ”

Tang Sanzang frowned slightly, Zhiyuan Temple's approach is no different from that of a powerful landlord, but if it is just like this, it should not be so resentful by the people of the whole country, right?

Xiu Li seemed to see Tang Sanzang's doubts, and continued to say: "If it's just like that, then it's okay, the first emperor had a lot of respect for Buddhism, so the matter was not settled later, and even the occupied houses were not returned, but only verbally warned Zhiyuan Temple not to expand anymore." After this incident, Zhiyuan Temple stopped for a while, but it should be that the first emperor connived at them, so he did not put Wang Fa down his eyes, forced pilgrims to donate, and even came to the door to worship the female dependents of incense**, such things happen more often, but this Zhiyuan Temple has a gold medal for avoiding death, and the people dare not speak out, that is, those officials who know about it are also blind to one eye, for fear of being contaminated with these things, and they can't get out. ”

"In just a few years, there are no less than 100 women who have been **, and many people have committed suicide at home without looking at the humiliation. And Zhiyuan Temple is the Buddhist ear holder of Che Chi State, other temples are also up and down, Che Chi Guo talks about the monk's color change, as long as the monk appears, the family is closed, and the woman goes out to wrap a thick gauze on her head, for fear of being taken into the temple, life is better than death. And if there are people who do business from other places to Chechi, those monks will lead them into the temple with good intentions, and stay until midnight to do the things of the black shop, and the people will be killed, and the property will be left behind, which is no different from a bandit. The government and the opposition turned a blind eye to this, and even if someone dared to speak out occasionally, they would inevitably be severely beaten and lose their official hats. ”

After nearly a hundred years like this, the people are in pain, but there is nowhere to redress their grievances, and many people have left their hometowns, leaving the country of Chechi, or hiding in the deep mountains and old forests to avoid this man-made disaster. Fifteen years ago, a three-year drought befell Chechi, and these monks were even more crazy to oppress the people, but when the first emperor asked them to ask for rain, it was not falling, and finally angered the first emperor. At this time, the three of us happened to learn the Tao and succeeded, and saw that the people of Che Chi were in distress, so they took the stage to ask for rain, and asked for a heavy rain, which solved the danger of Che Chi country. ”

"The great drought of that year was not an ordinary natural disaster, but because Che Chi was too resentful, and the punishment from heaven was great. The first emperor finally realized that what these monks did hurt the heavens and reason, so there was the so-called destruction of the Buddha later, and all the monks from all over the country were arrested and taken to Chechi country, and the most heinous ones were not killed on the spot, but let them, the monks who had been pampered for many years, also taste the taste of being oppressed and tortured, so they were all people who deserved it, not poor people. ”

After Xiu Li's words were finished, the entire palace fell into silence, and those ministers had an unbearable look on their faces, many of them had witnessed it, and they knew what kind of dark days it was, so to speak, if it were not for the arrival of the three national teachers, Che Chi Guo would have died that year, and I don't know how many people would have survived.

And those monks are like bloodsuckers attached to Che Chi Guo, deeply rooted, and the blood of Che Chi Guo is about to be sucked dry.

Tang Sanzang's face changed several times, the more he listened, the more frightened he became, it was not that he had never heard of the matter of one side being strong and the evil side, but a country like Che Chi Guo had been bullying the people for a hundred years because of the pampering of monks, and it was from top to bottom, not just just a Zhiyuan Temple, almost all the monks were involved in it, three thousand bullies, what a terrifying number, how desperate the people should have been back then, those innocent women who died...... And how pitiful.

"Such monks, damn it, kill it!" Zhu Tianpeng also clenched his fists, and looked coldly at Hong Miao who was kneeling on the ground, from the beginning they were deceived by the pitiful appearance of these monks, and they have been used by them with their pitiful psychology.

"So, have we all been deceived?" Luo Xi looked at Hong Ji and Hong Miao, and was also a little angry, if all this was like what Xiu Li said, then what they did was not to help the abuse.

"Senior sister, you're right...... Although they are pitiful, they are even more hateful, even if they die ten thousand times, they are not worth saving. Ao Xiaobai looked at Sun Wukong and nodded seriously, understanding the meaning of what Sun Wukong just said.

"It's not like that, it's not like that...... We didn't do these things, wronged, Master Tang Seng, we were wronged, you take us out of Chechi Country, let us live, let us go, let our dog's life go. Hong Miao looked up at Tang Sanzang tremblingly, struggling to hug his thighs, his body trembled slightly, he had just come out of hell, and now he had fallen back again, and this time Tang Sanzang couldn't reach out to them, maybe he would kick them back.

Tang Sanzang took a step back to the side, not wanting Hong Miao's dirty hands to touch him, Hong Miao lived to be one hundred and twenty years old, he had experienced all the days when Zhiyuan Temple was an evil country, and he also served as the supporting abbot of Zhiyuan Temple for decades, so to speak

The look of surprise on Hong Ji's face was no less than that of Tang Sanzang, after listening to Xiuli's words, it was like listening to other people's stories, he had been studying the scriptures in the meditation room for several years, and he didn't know what was going on outside the window, until he was arrested by the brothers in the temple, the master and some of the uncles in the temple committed suicide in Tallinn, and they didn't understand why they were arrested, why they had to endure these hardships, and now it suddenly dawned, it turned out that the Zhiyuan Temple was such a place back then, and those brothers who looked kind had actually done these hurtful things, knelt on the ground, folded their hands and muttered: "It turns out that we committed such a crime back then, Amitabha, and we should apologize with death. As soon as the words fell, he slammed his head directly into the ground.
