Chapter 60 Blessing Gourd
60 blessings and gourds
That Xiong Sanbao is a simple-minded and even a little stupid person, he was an authentic farmer before he joined the army in the early years, and later when he fled from famine at home, he and his wife fell hungry on the road, and it happened that Yuwen escorted the soldiers to save their mother and son, and Xiong Sanbao followed Yuwen Hu to kill the enemy.
With his own strength that is not afraid of death and wants to repay his kindness, he has been appreciated by Yuwen Hu, and now he has always been Yuwen Hu's cronies, one of the several deputy generals of the Leopard Chong Battalion.
When he heard Xiao Ke say that these monks shouting again would make Tsukasa Zai's face dull, he suddenly became angry, rode over with a black face, and scolded: "You bald donkeys, what are you yelling about!" Come on, give me those who're shouting and come out! Right! Just the fat man with the red face, and the thief-eyed one, that! The one who is the most noisy, find out all of them! Xiong Sanbao scolded and pointed at the monks.
Hou Mo Chen Rui and Tu Guan on the side saw Xiao Ke using Xiong Sanbao as a gunman, and they smiled secretly in their hearts, and quietly watched Xiong Sanbao move roughly.
As soon as Xiong Sanbao gave the order, someone stepped forward to arrest someone. The monks were surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, Xiong Sanbao pointed to the monk who was to be caught and was inside, when several Royal Forest Army rushed into the crowd, there were monks secretly exerting force, pushing and shoving, pulling and squeezing, so that a few people who went in were like duckweed in the water, involuntarily and embarrassed.
Xiong Sanbao was furious when he saw this, and someone dared to hinder the people of the Royal Forest Army, and he simply ate the gall of a leopard. Without saying a word, he raised the six-petal sledgehammer of the gourd in his hand, rushed forward to the crowd, and saw that the red-faced fat man just now hammered down, and the brain was cracked, and the red and white things splashed on the spot......
Thorn Shi Tu Guan was so frightened that he quickly covered his face with the sleeves of his robe. Where had the surrounding monk Su Ri seen this, he was so frightened that he collapsed on the spot, and the people around him were so frightened that they retreated again and again. Suddenly, the shouts and cries boiled, and the backwards and those who wanted to run were crowded, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Xiong Sanbao saw that the hammer to death did not shock the group of monks, and made the scene even more chaotic, and he suddenly couldn't hold back his annoyance, and shouted: "It's the opposite! It's the other way around! These demon monks turned against me and cut down the one who took the lead in making trouble!"
At this time, the host saw that the Imperial Forest Army had killed someone, and his face was as frightened as dirt, but he still stammered and said: "You are so unreasonable and indiscriminately killing innocents, aren't you afraid of going to hell?" Xiong Sanbao sneered and said, "To hell? See clearly, grandpa's golden gourd sledgehammer was given by Lord Yama! β
After that, he raised a sledgehammer and beat the presiding officer of Fuji Temple again, and his brain burst and he was killed on the spot. Xiong Sanbao's subordinates saw that the leader had already opened the killing ring, so he was not ambiguous, raised his gun and took a knife to cut down the few fierce people who had just screamed to the ground. These Guards were all selected from battle-hardened sergeants, and killing a few people was nothing new to them.
As soon as the people led by Xiong Sanbao started to kill, the scene was uncontrollable, many monks were already scared of the six gods, and the three souls lost two and a half souls, and some rolled and crawled, crying and calling for their mothers. Some wanted to break out of the encirclement of the Imperial Forest Army and escape, but the outermost did not dare to move, but they were pushed forward by the inner force...... Xiao Ke, Hou Mo Chen Rui, and Tu Guan saw that the scene was out of control, so they immediately shouted: "Attention all battalions!" Keep an eye on these monks, prevent them from rebelling, and arrest them all......"
As soon as the order was given, more than 3,000 Imperial Forest troops below began to act, those with guns and knives rushed forward and moved, and more than a dozen people were stabbed to the ground at once, and the blood had stained the blue bricks in the front yard of Fuji Temple...... Where had he seen such a tragic thing, he trembled and said, "Two generals, this ...... I'm afraid it's not good, if you keep killing, this ...... But in the Tu Temple? Why don't you tell General Xiong to stop first? β
Xiao Ke saw that Xiong Sanbao was still smashing people with a golden gourd sledgehammer inside, so he also stepped forward and shouted: "General Xiong, stop it, if you kill it again, something will happen!" β
That Xiong Sanbao was holding a sledgehammer and was about to smash people, when he heard someone shouting behind him, he turned around and saw that it was Xiao Ke beckoning, so he put away the sledgehammer and went to Xiao Ke and said, "These monks have reversed!" Why don't you kill them all? β
"Just kill a few Liwei, and if you kill it again, outsiders will gossip about Tsukazai, so let's stop it." Xiao Ke said helplessly.
"Okay, listen to my brother." After Xiong Sanbao finished speaking, he ordered: "Okay! Stop, all stop! Xiao Ke, Hou Mo Chen Rui, and Tu Guan also hurriedly shouted: "Stop, stop, don't kill people!" β
Although the order was given, the scene was too chaotic, and some of the sergeants inside could no longer hear it, so they did not immediately order and prohibit it. By the time the people inside stopped one after another, there were already many corpses and seriously injured people on the ground.
The usually solemn and glorious Hokuji Temple has now become a corner of purgatory, and the smell of blood fills every corner of the temple with blood flowing along the cracks of the bricks of the town. In the front yard, the cries of women and the howls of monks are intertwined. In the main hall, collapsed Buddha statues and broken incense candles were scattered. In the meditation room, broken scriptures and smashed ritual instruments were littered...... It is a splendid temple, but now it is full of broken walls, and it was originally a dojo where the light of the Buddha shines, but now it is full of blood-colored purgatory.
Xiao Ke, Tu Guan, Hou Mo and Chen Rui looked at the tragic scene in front of them, looked at each other, and seemed to feel that today's things had been done a little too much, but Xiong Sanbao looked indifferent, kill it, what can you do to me? Tu Guan said helplessly: "Generals, the matter has come to this, in the eyes of this official, it is better to send these monks and women to the backyard to detain them separately, clean up this place, register the temple property, and report it, hey!" β
"Good! Let's just follow the history of assassination. Xiao Ke said.
β¦β¦
By the afternoon, the news of the destruction of Fukuji Temple had spread, because it was surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army outside, so most people did not know what was happening inside, but only heard that the temple had been destroyed.
Chang'an seemed to be boiling, and everyone realized that this time the imperial court was coming, so they took action one after another, and some people began to transfer treasures and dismiss monks and slaves. However, some monasteries actually met in secret to discuss, agitating to go to the gate of the Heavenly Palace early tomorrow morning to meet the emperor and the tomb Zai, and ask the court to revoke the will to abolish the Buddha.
At this time, the second son, Yu Wenshen, pointed at Shuyi angrily in the Purple Cloud Pavilion and scolded Hou Mo Chen Rui: "Shuyi is your cousin, General Hou Mo Chen is the father-in-law of this son, your uncle, I am your brother-in-law!" Although the will is under the imperial court, but you can't have a heart and eyes when you run errands, use your brain, that Fuji Temple is an industry donated by the family of the great priest Kou Luzheng, let you go to the Huwei camp as a deputy general to look at Dugu Luo, you are good, take people and horses to destroy the temple cleanly, what kind of heart are you safe? β
"Brother-in-law, I'm angry, it's not that I don't do my best." Hou Mo Chen Rui said aggrievedly: "I heard that it was Tu Guan's idea to take the Fuji Temple first, and when I arrived in the temple, Tu Guan and Xiao Ke, the two old foxes, sang and harmonized, and used the stunned green bear Sanbao as a gunman, and the person was killed by Xiong Sanbao, I ...... I can't do anything with them. β
"Yes, Childe, you can't blame Brother Rui for this matter, he is a hairy boy, and it is already good that he has not been used by those people." Shuyi also persuaded on the side.
"Humph! Tu Guan this old fox, knowing that the recital of the Buddha is from this son, and knowing that the person who took this son will cut first, this son will never do anything to him, he is simply cunning! Yuwen sat down on the chair angrily, and said after a while: "Brother Rui, you really can't be blamed for this matter, hey, who let Ben Gongzi lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot?" Abolishing the Buddha is also the meaning of the father,"
"Yes, the abolition of Buddha was originally the meaning of the imperial court, and Tsukasa just borrowed the excuse of his brother-in-law's recital, otherwise, Xiong Sanbao would not dare to be so fearless, maybe Tsukasa acquiesced?" Hou Mo Chen Rui also said.
"Okay, that's just the beginning, there's more to come, let's take a look." Yu Wenshen seemed to be a little helpless and said.
The next morning, Tu Guan played, and reported the results of yesterday's inspection of Fuji Temple: "Your Majesty, Tomb Zai, yesterday I was ordered to thoroughly inspect Fuji Temple, and found 23 land deeds, totaling more than 370 acres of land, more than 410 temple houses, more than 10 boxes of treasures, more than 10 tuns of rice grain, and ...... There are 60 servant maids for the call, more than 400 monks are detained, and after being found innocent, they are ordered to return to the vulgar one by one, and the abbot of Fuji Temple resists the law and is killed on the spot by the Imperial Forest Army. β
The emperor still didn't speak, only Yuwen Hu said, "Okay! Everything is difficult at the beginning, since the history of Chang'an and the three generals have made a good start, then in addition to a few century-old temples in Chang'an, the rest of you must be cleared before the end of the year, and all the monks and Taoists who eat idle meals will be driven away, and those who will farm the land will be farmed, and those who will collect firewood will be ......."
Before Yuwen Hu's words were finished, a royal forest army came in and reported: "Report - Your Majesty, there are many monks gathered outside the palace, saying that they are coming to petition for the monks in the world by the Buddha's decree!" β
Yuwen Hu was furious after hearing this: "Is this a rebellion?" Walk. Go out and check it out! Then he got up and walked out of the main hall.
The emperor was also angry for a while, but then he came to his senses, stood up and walked a few steps forward, leaned over, and asked helplessly: "Tsukazai, this is ......?"
At this time, Yuwen Hu's two sons quickly caught up and said, "Father! Tsukazai! β
"Father is a dignified mound, a group of monks come to make trouble, you show up, it's just too much face for them!" Shizi spread his hands and said.
Yuwen Wu stood up all of a sudden, indeed, angry.
"Yes, the father is still sitting firmly in the palace, and the child will come forward to meet these monks." Yu Wenshen took the initiative to ask.
Yuwen Hu looked at his two sons, nodded, pointed at them and said, "You guysβboth go!" Be tough! Be confident! β
Yuwenxun and Yuwenshen glanced at each other and said, "Please rest assured, father!" And he hurried by.
Coming to the gate of the palace, I saw that there were hundreds of monks, all bowing their heads in front of the palace gate, and the leading monk Huiyuan saw that someone was coming, and immediately took the monks to kowtow and said: "Huiyuan, the abbot of Chang'an Fa'an Temple, led the Shamen colleagues to ask to see Your Majesty!" β
Shizi straightened his face and said, "What are you going to do here?" β
Monk Huiyuan said: "The little monk heard the decree of the imperial court, inspected my temple, destroyed my Buddha land, and slaughtered my monks, yesterday, the presiding officer of Fuji Temple was hammered to death, and the temple has become a purgatory......
"Nonsense! You're spreading rumors! Yu Wenxun shouted: "How could the imperial court order the slaughter of the temple? The will is clearly written, the government is thoroughly investigating the illegal temple that evades rent and taxes, raises slaves and maids, and gathers people to cause trouble. β
