Chapter Twenty-Four: The Lay Monks
Guangzhi ordered someone to tie up Guangtong and a few other monks, and said: "Guangtong, your heart is so black, when you see the Buddha later, you still have to repent well." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Guangtong said angrily: "You took the name of our abbot, pretending to be a monk here, and you actually dared to face the Buddha in front of me." ”
At this time, Li Wuyan suddenly sneered, and after laughing, he said: "The holy land of Buddhism here, there are many incomparable hills, but they are all in front of the Buddha, as a layman, doing mundane things, and falsely claiming Buddhism, it is really ridiculous. ”
Guangzhi looked up at Li Wuyan, and Li Wuyan said: "The host doesn't have to panic, and you don't have to think about letting go of your junior brother and joining forces to deal with us, we all have a grudge against General Lan Yu and stand with you." After that, he paused and said, "Let's uncover all this, where to start?" Let's start with your identity, Master Guangtong. ”
Saying that, he looked at Guangtong and said, "You told me that your senior abbot brother is a person from the paper clothes door and was installed here." As soon as the words fell, Guangzhi shouted: "It's nonsense." ”
Li Wuyan hurriedly said: "Yes, it is true that Guangtong is talking nonsense to you, in fact, you are the one who installed the paper clothes door here." ”
Guangtong was silent, and Li Wuyan said again: "In fact, Brother 6 has long suspected you. You said, five years ago, the people of the Paper Clothes Gate bribed you to kill the host, and then sent someone to be the new host. But five years ago, the paper cloth gate was only a grass creation, and it was impossible to penetrate the power here. Therefore, you must know that we are at odds with the paper cloth gate, so you deliberately said this, hoping to deceive us and seize the power of this temple with you. ”
Li Wuyan paused, and then said: "However, in fact, there is indeed a person who is a monk here, it is you, a year ago, you buried the real Guangtong in the ground, and you pretended to be Guangtong and took root in the temple. I have already found out, that Guangtong monk is commonly known as Gui Er, and he has an elder brother Gui Da, which is you. Your brother was a monk in the temple, and you were poor, and then the paper clothes door infiltrated here, so you defected to their name, a year ago, together with the people of the paper clothes gate, secretly entered the temple, killed your brother, buried in the guest room, and you became your brother Guangtong. ”
Guangtong was speechless, and Guangzhi said: "Sin and sin, you will actually kill your brother for money, alas." ”
Li Wuyan said: "He is unjust, but you are loyal, general." Saying that, he pointed to Guangzhi and said: "However, you are indeed the head of Li Dai Taozhuang, five years ago, you colluded with the monks in the temple to let them kill their abbot, and then you became the abbot." ”
Guangzhi was also stunned, and Li Wuyan said again: "This is the territory of Yuelu Timur of the former dynasty Pingzhang, Yuelu Timur surrendered to the Ming Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, he kept in mind the instructions of Emperor Yuan Shun, recruited troops and horses in Sichuan, united all kinds of Tusi, and showed his own power. Taoguang has been raising obscurity for many years, and finally accumulated a strong military force, which shocked the imperial court, if it weren't for Lan Yu's good use of troops, I am afraid that the entire south would be in chaos. Yuelu Timur is so shrewd and capable, I estimate that you are Yuelu Timur's person, and you are responsible for making this monastery the intelligence of various spies under Yuelu Timur. In fact, you originally wanted to install a person as a monk to monitor here, but the host of this temple was stubborn and resolutely refused, so you Li Dai Tao stiffened, and it happened that there were still thirty-six people in this temple. The presiding officer was buried under the temple gate by you. And it didn't take long for Yuelu Timur to give you benefits and expand the monastery, but when it was expanded, the door facing east was changed to facing west, so the previous temple gate was built with guest rooms. ”
At this time, a monk suddenly called a Buddha and said: "Sin, sin, it was Uncle Guangtong who framed the host at the beginning, but four years later, he was also poisoned and buried in one place with the host, this karma is really true." ”
6 Yue Ming said again: "Actually, I have always wondered why you buried the host under the temple gate. ”
Guangzhi said: "Amitabha, sins and sins, before the presiding officer died, he begged me to let someone bury him at the temple gate, he said, this temple is the rule passed down from generation to generation, this temple must not participate in the world, and there can only be thirty-six monks in the temple, although he is powerless to stop the former, but he is willing to stop the monks in the temple after death, so he begged me to bury him at the temple gate and guard the city. ”
Guangzhi paused again and said, "I am loyal to General Yuelu Timur, and he is also loyal to his master, we are all loyal ministers, and we cherish each other." So it was done to him. And when I was the host, I didn't let the temple add monks. ”
6. Yue Ming said: "Are you a general under Yuelu Timur?" ”
Guangzhi said: "That's right, my name is Hama, I am a general under Lord Yuelu Timur, I committed a major mistake, and I should have been beheaded, but Lord Yuelu Timur let me go, and then gave me this task and asked me to pretend to be a monk." ”
6 Yue Ming said: "However, the paper cloth gate has long wanted to take this temple, when Yuelu Timur was about to rebel, the court had already gotten the news, and Lan Yu's son Lan Nao'er also heard the news, knowing that it was likely that his father would come here to quell the rebellion, so he took the lead and secretly united with Guangtong's brother to replace Guangtong." However, at this time, it was already the territory of Yuelu Timur, so you, the fake Guangtong, could only lurk, and only now did you make a move and seize power in the temple. ”
6 Yue Ming suddenly thought of something, so he asked: "But I don't know something, you can betray your abbot at the beginning, which means that you are not a righteous man, so now that Lu Timur has failed, and he himself has been escorted to Nanjing to rectify the Fa, you have gone to the general trend, and it is time to vote for the paper clothes door." How can the abbot Guangzhi still have so many followers? ”
Li Wuyan said: "You don't need to ask, let me tell you, they are afraid, Yuelu Timur has been running Sichuan for many years, and his roots are extremely deep." Do you think General Hama is the only one? At this time, in the whole of Sichuan, there were already many people who secretly supported Yuelu Timur. For Emperor Zhu, they can't help it, and they can't help it with Lan Yu. However, for a temple, it is still possible to start. And some people believe that with the support of the paper clothes door, they can avoid chasing and killing, and they can also get rich, so they help Guangtong, ah no, fake Guangtong. ”
As he spoke, Li Wuyan glanced around at the monks, and the monks bowed their heads and remained silent, at this time, their selfishness was all exposed, and they were all ashamed in their hearts.
