Chapter 298: The Incense Thief
readx;??? In recent days, the town of Tangyuan has not been quite peaceful. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info[Ran^Wen^Library][]. [774] [buy]. I don't know if it's close to the end of the year, the petty thieves all came out of the dark corners, slipped the door and picked the locks everywhere, and made the good county town into a miasma.
The police call of the Public Security Bureau is almost 24 hours a day, and it has become an out-and-out hotline. In order to maintain local law and order, Zhang Damin dispatched all his police officers and auxiliary police, re-demarcated the area, and let the police officers patrol in shifts day and night, and the entire public security bureau was full of busy figures, and the detention center was full of thieves, and even the handcuffs were not enough.
He Tianlong, the head of the police station, is in charge of the security of the Damihe Scenic Area, which will be busy in the office, and he has to deal with two uninvited guests in gray robes, who are on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Early this morning, He Tianlong just made a cup of strong tea, and before he could take a few sips, two young monks from the Jingjiao Temple came to report the case, saying that the merit box in the temple, together with the incense money donated by the pilgrims inside, was all gone, and dozens of monks in the temple were stunned and didn't hear any movement, it must be the master snitch.
He Tianlong's head is big, but he didn't expect that there were endless theft cases in the county, and he hadn't sorted out his clues, these things, and they set their eyes on the Buddha again, and they didn't even let go of the incense money, which was simply a loss of conscience.
He Tianlong asked his subordinate police officers to make a record for the monks, so that he could finally send them away, leaning on the chair and kneading his temples with a faint pain, his face full of pain.
A young police officer came over: "He, do you want to send someone to patrol the scenic area?" We really have ...... manpower."
He Tianlong slapped the table and said angrily: "These lazy bald donkeys who are full of food all day long and do not produce anything know that they are cheating incense money all over the world all day long, and they are all fat!" I usually don't know how to come to pay respects, but when something happens, I can remember that we came, regardless of him! ”
The young police officer smiled and said, "What a wise man! He is mighty...... I'd better go about my business first, the grain transfer station over there in the development zone lost two bags of soybeans, and I have to go to the police! ”
The two monks who called the police returned to the temple, reported the situation to the host, and got together and muttered: "Have you heard? In the temple on this side of the scenic spot, there are seven or eight bad thieves in the past few days, not to mention the merit box, even the fruit cakes enshrined in front of the Buddha have been stolen, do you say that these thieves will be retributed! ”
"Not really! I've heard that the people who lose things are all large temples like ours. Like the Jade Buddha Temple, a poor and swishing small temple, even thieves don't want to go, do you think this is the blessing of the Buddha? ”
The two little monks discussed for a while, and when they saw the precept lawyer Fu coming over, they stuck out their tongues and left.
That night, the master of the precepts looked around and made sure that all the doors and windows had been closed, and the water and electricity gates had been closed back to their original places, so he returned to the meditation room with confidence and watched the five little monks meditate at night.
After reciting a scripture, he secretly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and browsed the local anecdotes reprinted on the WeChat circle of friends.
The master of the non-ring noticed that Datong had slipped and coughed lightly a few times, reminding Datong to calm down. Chase smiled, salivating and said: "Master, you see, this WeChat is very popular, saying that a group of thieves have recently appeared to steal the incense money from the temple, so we have to be careful!" ”
Seeing that the eyes of the disciples were focused on him, the master raised his face and said proudly: "Since last month, our merit box was secretly carried away, and I have already replaced the merit box with a whole piece of cast iron, and it is welded to the ground with steel bars, I see who can steal it!" ”
Monk Datong obviously didn't want to be as optimistic as his master, and said worriedly: "Master, if you say so, won't we even be able to take out the money in the merit box?" ”
Bu Qu was shocked when he heard this: "Emma, why didn't I think of this at the time, what can I do...... Amitabha, the old man is in the face, money is something outside the body, as long as we devote ourselves to the Buddha, even if there is no money to spend, we are spiritually rich...... You don't have to worry, you know a renovation worker at the foot of the mountain, and when the time comes, ask him to cut the merit box with a chainsaw...... Hey, there's going on outside! ”
Datong pricked up his ears and listened for a while, then nodded and said, "Master's ears are really bright, and there is indeed movement...... It seems to be the sound of a chainsaw! ”
"Chainsaws? Chainsaw! Bujie jumped up from the futon at once, took the lead and ran outside the meditation room, shouting loudly: "Come whatever you are afraid of, what a good one, there are thieves who come to steal our merit box!" What are you doing in a daze, you will go out with your teacher to catch thieves! ”
Six monks rushed out, and by the faint light of the snow, they saw two people carrying a diesel chainsaw, cutting happily at the bottom of the merit box, and there were seven or eight other people, who ran out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and various side halls, some holding fruit bowls in their hands, and some carrying bulging bags, I don't know what was inside, there was a thief who was the best, and actually took out a life-size Maitreya Buddha statue, tired and panting, and his steps were staggering.
Bujie was furious on the spot: "Is this theft?" It's a special house! These god-damn thief grandsons refused to let go of even the golden body of the Buddha, they were simply poor and crazy! ”
He yelled, picked up a latch and rushed out, and went straight to the two thieves who were holding a chainsaw to destroy the merit box, and the other five monks also picked up the guys, all of them were wooden sticks, brooms, buckets, etc., shouting and chasing the fleeing thieves everywhere, and the entire Jade Buddha Temple suddenly turned into a bustling and noisy vegetable market, which was very lively.
Two thieves with chainsaws in their hands, finally cut off the merit box, one after the other, and ran wildly to the outside of the temple, and there were already people outside the side gate next to the mountain gate, and after hearing the chaotic sound in the temple, the side door was opened at once. After all, the master of the precepts was old, and his legs and feet were not very sharp, so he watched the two thieves run out of the temple, threw the merit box on a snow climbing plow, and ran away by pulling the rope in front of him.
At this time, other thieves in the temple also fled one after another, some went out of the side door, some climbed over the wall, the guy holding the huge Buddha statue in his arms was the most unlucky, blocked by three little monks in the corner of the wall, and was about to be captured, but suddenly roared, threw the Buddha statue in his arms, smashed the three little monks to the ground, and also took the opportunity to climb the wall.
At this time, three thieves were already standing side by side on the wall, and they all took out ropes from their arms and threw them at the Buddha statue on the ground. The Buddha statue was entangled in a soft hook in the front of the rope, pulled up the wall in twos and threes, and threw on another climbing plow that was connected outside.
Seeing that the valuable things in the temple were robbed and destroyed, and he couldn't even keep the Buddha statue, he immediately turned red in his eyes and led the little monks out of the temple together, saying that he had to take the Buddha statue back first, otherwise he would have to become the laughing stock of all the temples in the scenic area.
