"Hurry up and report to the abbot, a group of soldiers have come down from the mountain, it's a red scarf!"

The little novice stumbled into the temple, grabbed his neck and began to shout. Then the monks in the temple buzzed around like headless flies.

The Red Turban Army is coming, and the thieves are coming. Legend has it that the Red Turban Army was a cult-believing thief who killed people without blinking an eye and ate people's hearts and livers. There was a monk in front of this temple, who was bewitched by the red scarf thief, and killed his senior brother and cast the red scarf.

On the mountain road, two centurions were marching. Zhu Wu's personal guard was behind, and in front was Zhu Chongba's hundred-man team. However, Zhu Chongba was not in the team at this time, and the vice captain Guo Yingtoe was arrogant and at the front.

The team was flanked by several horsemen who could ride horses, either scouting for the group or riding for the rangers.

This was the first time that Zhu Wu's brothers had gone out of the city, and they were all elated and in good spirits.

Monk Daoyan rode a donkey, and Zhu Wu, who was trying to catch up, asked in horror, "My lord, are you going to rob the temple?" ”

Zhu Wu was not happy and corrected, "Nonsense, it's fate!" Do you understand? ”

Dao Yan was stunned for a long time, and asked with wide eyes, "You are not afraid of ...... in the future."

"Retribution?" Zhu Wu sneered, "Let's look for a temple to turn into a fate, and not a bodhisattva, what is the retribution!" We are accumulating virtue, if we find a poor family and a small family, it is a sin. Besides, if there is really cause and effect in this world, how can it not fall on those corrupt officials and corrupt officials. If there is really cause and effect, why are the people not as good as pork! ”

As long as the temple is there, the monk will have food to eat, even with a bald head. But if it were ordinary people, no one would look at it if they starved to death.

Besides, there have been several good monks throughout the ages, and the monks in later generations drove luxury cars and lived in luxury houses, cheating, eating, drinking, cheating, and beating. Nowadays, the monks of this world are also the masters who eat people and do not spit out bones, relying on the fact that they do not have to pay taxes and pay grain, and the monasteries embezzle the land and hide the population. even took advantage of natural and man-made disasters to borrow usury and put money in print.

So Zhu Wu didn't have a good impression of them at all.

Dao Yan was speechless, since he was a child, when has he ever heard such a big rebellious word.

I saw Zhu Wu on the horse, pointing with a horsewhip in his hand, and said loudly, "Brothers, speed up and go to the temple for fasting in the afternoon!" ”

Xi Yingzhen also rode a donkey, slowly leaned over, and said with a smile, "You are not a pedantic monk who recites scriptures, why bother with this idleness, which British lord has had a good face to monks throughout the ages!" ”

"But I haven't heard of anyone talking so much about robbing temples!" Dao Yan sang the Buddha horn, and silently recited in his heart, this demon dragon! Demon Dragon!

At the end of the mountain road, the blue brick and red walls of the temple of Nuoda are located.

"Good girl, more generous than the Marshal's Mansion!" Guo Xing rode a horse twice in front of the door, and said with a smile, "Fifth brother, we used to be so stupid, what is called a flower child, how good it is to be a monk!" ”

There was a burst of laughter around, and the gate of Huangjue Temple was closed, only a few heads were exposed on the wall, looking cautiously.

"A few masters, my brothers are hungry on the road, and they go to your temple to beg for food!" Guo Xing shouted at the top of his voice, "This door is closed, and it's not a way of hospitality!" ”

"It's easy to say that the meal is good, and the temple will prepare it for you immediately, but this temple is a quiet place for Buddhism........."

Zhu Wu frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about them?" Crash away! ”

The subordinate Erlang couldn't bear it anymore for a long time, and gave an order. The two ten-captains took their brothers, divided by two by three, and the temple door opened with a bang.

Zhu Wu waved his hand again, and several archers climbed to the wall, and the big shield was in front of and behind were brothers with spears, forming a formation and advancing from the gate.

…………

Guzhuang Village under the mountain of Huangjue Temple is Zhu Chongba's hometown.

A few children were playing in the field, and all of a sudden, they ran to the village.

As he ran, he shouted, "The soldiers are coming!" ”

These years and the moon soldiers are bandits, even more ruthless than flying. Bandits sometimes talk about morality, and talk about the crooked reasoning of a good dog to protect his neighbors. The soldiers robbed everything, and saw whatever scourge they saw.

"Run a ball, we're your heavy starling!"

Chongba shouted angrily, and several children stopped, turned back suspiciously, and took a closer look.

"Ah, it's really a heavy starling, a heavy starling is a general!"

Zhu Chongba rode on a horse, wearing a new battle jacket, followed by a few soldiers, and looked at a few children in the village with a smile.

After a while, the news of Zhu Chongba's return to the village spread throughout the village. Adults and children surrounded layer after layer, hugging back and forth.

"Chongba, aren't you a monk, why are you a soldier again?"

"Chongba, how old are you now?"

He was surrounded by villagers and neighbors who grew up watching him grow up. Zhu Chongba's face stiffened with laughter, his uncle shouted, and his aunt said hello.

"We're not generals, we're just a captain of 100 people in Haozhou City!"

"Red scarves? Ahh That's a rebellion! The bearded old man shook his head and said.

Before Zhu Chongba could speak, a young man in the crowd had already shouted.

"As long as you can eat enough, rebellion will rebel! Xuejia Village, more than 50 miles away, was slaughtered by the whole village last year because of the anti-donation, and the government didn't let us live, so are we still afraid of him? ”

"Heavy starling!"

At this time, a happy voice suddenly came from outside the crowd, Zhu Chongba turned around, it was his good brother Xu Da who strode over.

"Brother!"

Xu Da hugged Zhu Chongba's shoulders, looked at it and said with a smile, "Brother Chongba, why don't you call me when you go to join the army?" ”

"It's not clear in a few words!" Zhu Chongba said with a smile.

"Let's go, go home!" Xu Da said with a smile, "I'm going to have some food and call all the old brothers from before." ”

"We've brought back wine and meat!" The soldiers around Zhu Chongba carried a few sacks, "I will set up two pots in the village and stew all the meat, so that the villagers can also taste the meat!" ”

For thousands of years, returning home to wealth has been the most simple ambition in every man's heart. Zhu Chongba was far from being rich at this time, but being able to invite the villagers to eat a bowl of stew was also a rare thing in the village for more than ten years.

Chop wood to make a fire, and wash two large iron pots. The whole fan of pork came out of the sack, and the whole village widened their eyes and held their breath. The world is difficult, and it is a blessing to be able to eat bran vegetables, who has seen so much meat.

The eldest old man in the village, with the support of his family, came to Zhu Chongba's side and said with his toothless mouth open.

"Baby, you are out of here, but your father and mother will go early, and you won't be able to enjoy this blessing!"

Zhu Chongba, who was stewing meat, had a sore nose, and his father and mother died of hunger in front of and behind his feet, he was still a child at that time, and if it weren't for the help of neighbors, the funeral would not have been sent.

Smack, an axe chops up a bone. Zhu Chongba swore in his heart, what is it to eat meat, wait for us to come back on the day we develop and build a big grave for my father and mother, and build the best grave in the world.

………

In front of the sword and gun, the monk is a sheep.

One hundred and ten monks of Huangjue Temple, including the abbot, were driven into the main hall. There is no need to ask, the monk who is greedy for life and afraid of death has told all the places in the temple where grain is stored and money is placed.

Zhu Wu held a bowl of tea, and the big horse golden knife sat on a Taishi chair. On the ground were piles of bronze vessels as high as a hill, and these alone were worth a lot of money.

Li Sai and Guo Xing came over left and right, Li Sai stuck to Zhu Wu's left ear, "My lord, it is estimated that there can be a thousand loads of grain in the granary!" ”

Guo Xing stuck to Zhu Wu's right ear, "Fifth brother, the old thief's dark room is full of money, and the copper coins are all packed in bamboo baskets!" ”

Guo Ying came in from outside with a few people, scolding in his mouth, "Fifth brother, this special mother is a group of flower monks, and there is wine and meat in the kitchen!" ”

Zhu Wu sneered a few times, "Pick a few people to boil water for the brothers to cook, and then move a few baskets of copper coins over!" With that, he got up and walked over to the abbot.

The abbot trembled, his oily old face was full of horror, and he couldn't speak, "Good man, take the property in the temple casually, don't kill ......"

"We are a righteous army, and we don't kill innocents indiscriminately!" Zhu Wu looked at him and smiled, "We're just curious, you monks, what's the use of asking for such wealth?" Zhumen wine and meat stink, there are frozen bones on the road, why is your pure place of Buddhism full of copper smell? How many people outside Haozhou City are so hungry that they are full of bones. There is so much grain in your temple that it is moldy, and I haven't seen you open a porridge factory, what Buddha do you cultivate, what scriptures do you recite! ”

Zhu Wu gritted his teeth and said word by word. The soldiers around him were all from exiles, and they were originally afraid of the Bodhisattva. Looking at these monks at this time, his eyes can burst into flames.

Monk Daoyan saw that Zhu Wu's face was cold, for fear that he would make a move, and wanted to step forward to persuade him, but he was stopped by his master Xi Yingzhen.

Soon, several baskets of copper coins were carried to the main hall, Zhu Wu reached out and grabbed a handful, and let go of his hand. The hall was filled with the pleasant sound of metal pounding.

"Who of you has ever seen so much money?" Zhu Wu asked his brothers with a smile.

Li Sai's mind was flexible, and he replied, "My lord, don't talk about us, even if we add eight generations of ancestors, I haven't seen so many copper coins!" ”

Zhu Wu smiled again, "Yes!" Our ancestors have been digging mud legs in the soil for eight generations, making them at sunrise and resting at sunset. More than 300 days a year, I dare not be idle for a moment. I don't dare to eat or drink, and I can't save a few dollars for a lifetime! As he spoke, he suddenly raised his voice and looked at the soldiers, "But these monks, there are also officials, and rich people." They have never done double or double work in their lives, but the copper coins at home are piled up, are you convinced? ”

"I'm not convinced!" There are scattered returns of soldiers.

Zhu Wu said again, "Even if we have a few copper coins in our hands, just a few." Our fathers and brothers will not starve to death, and no one will sell their children and daughters. Just a few, just a few copper coins can save our family's life, there is so much money! How many people can this save? Damn, they'd rather hide the money than save us, you're not angry! ”

"Gas!"

"Chop up these bird monks!"

The soldiers shouted, and the abbot shook like chaff.

In an uproar, Zhu Wu deliberately threw a handful of copper coins out, and said loudly, "Now this money belongs to our brothers, follow me Zhu Wu, everyone has money to spend!" In the future, even if you have a wife and children, you will not suffer for a few dollars! ”

"Fifth brother! Fifth brother! Fifth brother! ”

The Guo brothers took the lead, and more than a hundred brothers raised their arms and shouted in unison, and the roof of the hall almost overturned.

Zhu Wu waved his hand and motioned for everyone to calm down.

Then, he looked at Li Sai and said, "On the day of recruitment, I heard that many brothers and sisters bought themselves in order to live? ”

"That's the thing." Li Sai smiled bitterly, "In order to leave a seed for the family, many girls sold themselves to prostitutes and exchanged them for food!" ”

Some of the soldiers began to sob.

Zhu Wu pointed to the copper coin, "After returning to the camp, you can count it, and then buy it back, so that the brothers who have relatives can have a hope and a home!" ”
