Chapter 413: The Man in Black
Todaiji Temple is located on the edge of Dongcheng District, Kyoto Prefecture, the Great Qian Dynasty does not exclude religion and literature, the three schools of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism are the head, and the other sons of the hundred schools are also a hundred flowers blooming, a hundred schools of thought contend, so the entire Great Qian Dynasty literary style is extremely prosperous, and the literati who like to talk about it can be seen everywhere.
Naturally, there are not a few people who respect the Buddha and worship the Tao.
It stands to reason that the ancient temple that is not built in the deep mountains, after all, will give people the feeling that there will be a lot less of dust, whether it is Buddha or Tao, it can be regarded as a monk, if the taste of the fairy wind and bones is lighter, but it adds a bit of philistine, no matter what, it will also make people feel unreliable.
Therefore, the temples built in the middle of the city are often incomparable with the temples built in the deep mountains in terms of incense.
But Todaiji Temple is an exception.
Because Master Daoyan, the presiding officer of Todai Temple, is a recognized monk.
Not only is the Dharma profound, but the human feelings are thorough, and there are all kinds of magical powers in itself.
Since this master Daoyan became the host of Todai Temple, showed the Buddha's light several times in a row, and really fulfilled the wishes of some people, the incense of Todai Temple has changed from the cold in the past, and gradually became popular.
The world is bustling and shouting, all for profit, even if it is faith, it will not break out of such a law.
People will truly believe in beliefs that can bring benefits to people, and those beliefs that cannot bring benefits to people will of course be difficult to have true believers.
As for this so-called benefit, whether it is really given, or a trick to get away with it, no one pays attention.
How ignorant the people are, most of them can only see what is in front of them, and greed often leads to gradually enter the abyss.
It wasn't until I suddenly realized afterwards that I couldn't regret it, lamenting the pain, and who was to blame?
There must be something hateful about the wretched, and so is it for all men, and how different are they from beasts?
Master Daoyan obviously knows three of them, and no matter what means are used, it is an indisputable fact that the incense of Todaiji Temple is vigorous.
With the incense, the monks in the Dongda Temple naturally lived a lot better, so all the monks in the entire temple were very supportive of Master Daoyan.
As more and more people come to burn incense and worship the Buddha, the reputation of Master Daoyan will naturally increase.
Even though Master Daoyan only selected a few people at the beginning and really helped them fulfill their wishes, but after a long time, it has become like a Buddha in ten thousand families.
As long as you are sincere, then you will definitely get what you want, and if you don't achieve what you want, then you must not be sincere enough, and there will be no second reason.
As for how to express sincerity...... Of course, it was judged by the amount of silver.
The world has changed through the ages, but after all, there are some things that will not change through the ages.
The same is true today, all day long, people who come to burn incense and worship the Buddha are endless, from morning to night, until the sun sets, the moon and stars are scarce, and the pilgrims who come to worship the Buddha gradually go away from the Todai Temple.
The little monks closed the entrance curfew of the temple one by one, and the big monks began to count how much incense money they had earned throughout the day.
Although above the main hall, there is the majestic Buddha, but in front of the Buddha to straighten out these blockages, the great monks do not have the slightest psychological barrier.
After all, monks are also people, and monks also have to eat, right?
Master Daoyan, who is the presiding officer of Todai Temple, did not participate in it, and this kind of thing is naturally handled by the monks below.
Master Dao Yan just walked out of the main hall as usual, nodded to the other monks' salutes, and then left the main hall and walked in the direction of his own room.
At this time in the past, Master Daoyan always had to follow a little novice by his side, go to make the bed and fold the quilt for Master Daoyan, prepare the water for washing, in short, prepare everything that Master Daoyan needs to do when he sleeps.
But today, Master Daoyan did not let the little novice accompany him, and walked back to the courtyard where his living room in the temple was located.
As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he turned around and closed the courtyard door tightly, and then walked to a stone table in the courtyard with a serious face, and said very respectfully: "Dao Yan, the killer of the Great Qian Dynasty, has seen the general!" ”
On the stone chair in front of this stone table, I don't know when, there was already a man in black with a hideous mask!
Facing Master Dao Yan's salute, the man in black accepted it calmly, and watched Dao Yan stand up straight again, and then said coldly: "Dao Yan, do you know what is wrong?" ”
Although the voice was hoarse, it condensed into a line and went straight into Dao Yan's ears, making Dao Yan only feel as if Hong Zhong was ringing next to his ears, deafening and shocking!
Such a subtle use of Yuan Qi made Dao Yan's original suspicion a little lighter, and he couldn't help but bow down again and say, "Eh...... Please show the Lord that Dao Yan really doesn't know what is wrong. ”
"You don't know what's wrong? Hehe, it is said that once this five-star killer becomes a town, he will immediately fly one by one, and even we generals don't take it seriously, I thought this was all an exaggeration, but when I saw it today, I never thought it was like this. Daoyan, it's good, you're good......"
The man in black sneered.
Dao Yan's heart trembled, only to feel a chill rushing to his head, his knees weakened, and he suddenly 'poofed' and knelt in front of the man in black.
"Forgive your sins! Dao Yan has no intention of being contemptuous and slack, Dao Yan ...... Dao Yan really doesn't know! ”
This is completely a spontaneous reaction of the body, although Dao Yan still has some doubts about the identity of the black-clothed man's general, but seeing the black-clothed man angry, Dao Yan's instinctive reaction is still to quickly beg for mercy.
Because the generals in the Black Hand organization ...... has always been known for being moody, and if you accidentally provoke someone, even if you are killed on the spot, there is no reason to go.
"You really don't know? Let me ask you, last night, didn't you send you the mission to assassinate an in-service teacher at the Shenwu Academy? ”
The man in black snorted and asked.
The kneeling Dao Yan was slightly stunned, of course he knew about this task, and because the person who issued the task had special requirements for the killer who carried out the task, the remuneration provided was unusually generous, in order to ensure that the task did not go wrong, Dao Yan specially selected the strongest four-star killer among the black hand killers in Kyoto Prefecture.
As a Zhenguo killer, he naturally needs to deal with some affairs, and the tasks above a certain level need to be assigned by the Zhenguo killer, which is one of the various affairs.
It's just that to Dao Yan's surprise, the feedback he got last night was that the mission failed!
Although he was surprised, failure was common in the process of the black hand carrying out the mission, so Dao Yan thought that when the limelight of the past few days passed, he would personally take action and end the task.
But I never thought that it was just a task...... actually found a general......
"Will the Lord...... I was assigned the task...... Don't...... The goal of the mission, which is related to you? ”
All kinds of thoughts passed through his mind, but on the surface, Dao Yan asked cautiously.
"Of course it is! The teacher of the Shenwu Academy you want to kill is my disciple! ”
"Huh?!"
