Chapter 295: Zeng Da Niu
Zeng Da Niu looked at Nie Chen in surprise, unable to believe his ears.
Nie Chen said: "I have hands and feet, I can do these things by myself, and I don't need others to serve me." Zeng Da Niu's youth was at least a dozen years older than Nie Chen, and letting him wash his feet made Nie Chen feel very awkward.
Zeng Daniu listened to Nie Chen's words, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to stand aside honestly.
Nie Chen asked as he put his feet into the hot water, "Brother Zeng, when did you enter Longquan Temple?" ”
Zeng Da Niu replied cautiously: "Back to the Buddha, I was sent here when I was eighteen years old, and I am Chinese New Year's Eve five years old today, and it has been seventeen years." ”
"What do you usually do in the temple?"
"Oh, there are a lot of things to do, from the morning to start up the mountain to chop wood, make a fire to cook, laundry, carry water, but also to participate in spring ploughing and autumn harvest, in winter, we have to be responsible for the heating of the temple, usually to serve the life of the Buddha in the temple......" Zeng Da Niu gushed endlessly.
"Don't you miss your loved ones at home?" Nie Chen asked,
Hearing this, Zeng Daniu's face changed, and he said mournfully: "How can you not want to, but the rule in the temple is that you can only go home to visit your relatives once every five years." ”
"Do you want to go home?"
"Home?"
Hearing this, Zeng Da Niu's eyes suddenly widened, and he fell to the ground and cried: "I want to dream of it, don't hide it from the Buddha, I am a lone seedling in my family, the last time I went back, my mother was already sick, and there was no one at home to farm, and she was already poor and couldn't even eat, only my father took care of me and her, but he is over eighty years old this year, and it is very difficult to even take care of himself, I am really afraid of my mother and her...... Woowoo"
Speaking of this, Zeng Da Niu cried sadly.
"You're only thirty-five years old this year, why is your father already over eighty?" Nie Chen asked puzzled.
"My father came out of the temple when he was almost fifty years old, married my mother, and then I was born."
Nie Chen suddenly realized.
"Then why don't you run back?" Nie Chen asked.
"The Buddha is joking, if I run away, I will be treated as a heretic, not only will I be arrested, life is better than death, even my family will be implicated, how dare I run!"
Hearing this, Nie Chen's face became extremely ugly.
Zeng Da Niu saw Nie Chen's face, thought that Nie Chen didn't believe it, and said: "What I said is true, Buddha, six years ago, there was a laborer named Xiaozhao in our temple, because he got along with a girl in the village before, so he secretly ran back to the village to marry the girl, and hid in the village and didn't come back." As a result, the monks in the temple appeared, insisting that Xiaozhao's daughter-in-law was a goblin, and hooked Xiaozhao's soul, poor girl, she was broken her legs less than three days after she got married. That Xiaozhao swore to death and was unwilling to go with the monks, but he was beaten to death as a heretic! Buddha, you say, where do we dare to run? ”
"These beasts!" Nie Chen's teeth itched with hatred.
"Can't you ordinary people unite against them?"
"Buddha, the monks in the temple are all martial artists, they are the heavens here, and ordinary people are their opponents!" Zeng Da Niu's eyes were red.
"Brother Niu, when I gain a foothold in this temple, I will definitely find a way to let you go home." Nie Chen said categorically.
"Really! Thank you, thank you! I am so grateful for my eternal life! Zeng Da Niu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic.
"How can I get the monks in the temple to let you go?" Nie Chen asked.
"Buddha, we are actually the slaves of those monks in the temple, if you want to release me, there is only one way, and that is to win me."
"How to win?"
"The status of our people in the temple is like a kitten and a puppy, according to the rules of the temple, the higher the monk's cultivation, the more slaves he can have, as long as you defeat my master, you can choose among his slaves at will, as long as you pick me away, you can let me be free."
Zeng Daniu explained seriously.
"I see." Nie Chen suddenly realized: "Then who is your master?" ”
"Back to the Buddha, my master is the Void Master, he is the senior brother of the Void Character Generation, and his cultivation is ranked first among the Void Character Generation, because he is in retreat these days, so the temple temporarily arranged for me to come and serve the Buddha first."
"Brother Zeng, don't call me Buddha, these two words make me feel disgusting. My name is Chen Sheng, and we will call each other brothers in the future. Zeng Da Niu's life experience made Nie Chen very sympathetic, but because of Fa Ming's matter, he didn't dare to tell Zeng Da Niu his real name.
"Okay, Brother Chen Sheng, I've been here for so long, and I haven't made friends with the Buddha, hehe." Zeng Da Niu burst into tears and smiled, with a hint of pride on his face.
"Alas......"
Nie Chen let out a long sigh, and finally understood Ren Fanchen's hardships, the Buddha Kingdom of the Western Regions has become what it is now, even with Ren Fanchen's ability, it is definitely not something that can be changed overnight.
After Zeng Da Niu left, Nie Chen sat on the bed and pondered.
This Buddhist country in the Western Regions, although it is known as the land of monks on the surface, and Buddhism is authentic, but the people in power here are even more ruthless than the emperor, enslaving the people in the name of the Buddha, eating and being lazy, greedy for pleasure, but they want to make the ordinary people of the Buddha country miserable, and they should really be killed!
There is also that senior brother void, Nie Chen's thoughts are spinning very fast, he is just a newcomer, and he wants to inquire where the Buddha's relics are hidden, with his current ear status, I am afraid it will be difficult.
Although there are all monks in this temple, there is a strict hierarchy, and the more slaves you have for different monks, you must have corresponding privileges.
Like the empty cicada who just accepted me into the temple, he has the right to recruit new people, and when he walks, he is accompanied by four monks, so he must have a high status.
If I want to get close to the relics, I have to quickly raise my status in the monastery.
Carefully release the divine consciousness, and now in this three-story building, there should be all the monks of the imaginary and dusty generations.
This can be seen from their breath, the more than thirty people who live in the third layer, their breath is not weak, they are long and steady, they are all martial artists in the realm of Yuan Generals, and the highest cultivation is Yuan Jiang Bapin.
There were about eighty people living on the two floors below, and the cultivation was much worse in comparison, and the highest was only the peak of the ninth rank of the Yuan Master. Presumably, the people who live there are monks of the dusty generation.
It seems that the core people of the temple did not live here.
"Then let's take this senior brother void first."
A sneer couldn't help but appear on Nie Chen's face.
