Chapter 39: Robbery
In the temple, Ye Lin knocked lightly on the door of the temple, and a novice probe asked, "How many of you worship Buddha or fast?" ”
Ye Lin stepped forward and said, "We have found Master Ming, and we have already scraped together enough silver to drive away the locust gods, and we have specially come to ask when we can start casting spells!" ”
Shami was pleasantly surprised: "It's enough, so fast!" That's a hundred taels of silver! ”
Ye Lin asked, "Do you really want a hundred pieces of silver?" ”
The novice was puzzled: "Didn't you say that you had made up enough?" If you have money, my master will drive away locusts, if you don't have enough, please go back! ”
Ye Lin glanced at the temple and asked, "Little Master, how many masters are there in this temple?" ”
"Several of my masters are here, why do you a Taoist priest ask these for what?" Xiao Shami looked at Ye Lin, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, and frowned.
Ye Lin retreated to Ziyi's side and said to Ziyi, who was already gearing up: "Be careful, if there is a very powerful monk in this temple, run away."
Zi Yi snorted coldly and said: "There are masters who practice Zen will not be in this temple full of copper smell, the monks here are definitely fat and big-eared, full of oil and water."
Shami looked at Ziyi, who was not good-looking, and asked uneasily, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I'm sorry, this little master, let's rob it" As soon as Ye Lin's words fell, Ziyi kicked and smashed the temple gate.
Zi Yi walked into the temple indifferently, clapped her hands and said loudly: "Robbery!" ”
The temple was suddenly silent, Ye Lin lowered his head in silence, and then in the screams, more than a dozen monks were beaten by Ziyi, their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and they shrank pitifully under the Buddha statue, Ziyi walked out and pointed to a group of monks on the ground and said: "Look, Daoist, the concubine is not wrong, these things are eaten in the temple with fat heads and big ears, and they are worshiped by the people, and they dare to reach out and ask for a hundred taels of silver, they are really looking for a fight!" ”
Ye Lin walked in and bowed to the Buddha statue, Daoben's family, although it was a robbery, they still had to keep it, and then Ye Lin got up, looked at the meat ball on the ground, and thought about his thin body, and suddenly became more and more uncomfortable.
"Who of you calls the shots here?" Ye Lin lowered his head and asked.
If no one replied to Ye Lin, Ye Lin was embarrassed, and said to Ziyi helplessly: "Why don't you kill them all?"
Ziyi nodded and said, "Okay, robbery and murder, the concubine likes it the most."
A group of monks on the ground suddenly wailed, and the little novice who opened the door cried: "Master Kong Ming has been out with his senior brother for a long time, and now it is Master Ming who is in charge."
"Where's Master Ming? Please come out, there are a few words to ask"
Ye Lin said, and a square-faced monk spoke on the ground: "How can you, a Taoist priest, be like this!" If you kill us, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, it is also a sin to kill the head, and you will go to hell after you die......"
Ye Lin's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to help the monk up and said: "You are Master Ming, you are really boundless, when my master was there, it was only a few dozen copper coins to take the poor Dao to do a ritual, and it cost a hundred taels for Master Ming to come forward, which is hundreds of times more than our master and apprentice!" ”
"So what? We haven't violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, you break down the door and kill the monks, but you will be punished by God! Although his legs were shaking, his mouth was still stiff.
After Ye Lin, Ziyun walked over and looked at it coldly: "In the Tang Dynasty, monks practice the law, and ask the people for ten taels of silver at most, and all the Dharma must be recorded by the nearby government, I don't know if you have found the official record, but we have found a lot of things in this Buddhist temple, and the silver alone adds up to five hundred taels, you monks are really shocking, and you, Master Ming, just rely on those things in your room, you still have the face to say that you are cursed."
Ziyun said, the square-faced Ming, the paler the face, Ye Lin was curious, and ran to the place where Ziyun came out in a few steps to take a look, there were actually a few brightly colored belly pockets on the bed in Ming's room, Ye Lin came back with a strange face, and gave Ming a thumbs up.
Zi Yi asked Ye Lin in confusion, "What is the Dao Chief?" ”
Ye Lin said slowly: "I didn't expect that the monks here still eat meat."
Ziyi smiled disdainfully: "What do you think the concubine body thinks?" They have taken all the money, and they still care about eating meat, what kind of monks are these fat pigs, and the precept of not eating wine and meat has long been lost."
Ye Lin looked up at the golden body of the Buddha statue, sighed and said, "Tie them up, and send them to the government with these coins in a while."
Ziyi said unhappily: "Five hundred taels!" Also sent to the government? Are you stupid? ”
"The woman wants the money?"
Zi Yi leaned over to Ye Lin and whispered a few words, Ye Lin nodded and said, "Then listen to the heroine, but there is no evidence of guilt, and these monks can't be sent to the official, it's really cheap for them."
A group of monks on the ground was overjoyed when they heard this, but Zi Yi said coldly: "It is a disaster for the Taoist chief to keep these monks, it is better to kill all the concubines."
When the monks heard this, their hearts were cold again, and they knelt directly on the ground and begged for mercy in pain.
Ye Lin felt that it was really inappropriate, so he said to Ziyi: "The woman will let them live, right?" The robbery has also been struck, and we still have to hurry? It's not a good thing to kill them."
Zi Yi thought about it and felt that it was too, so everyone packed up the gold and silver and left the temple, who knew that not long after Ye Lin and the others left, a cold light flashed in the eyes of Li Ming, who was still crying just now.
