After the trial of this evil monk, and got many clues that the Holy Buddha Temple had done many evil things that hurt the heavens and reason, Yang Yun and others decided that in order not to startle the snake, they would first secretly detain this evil monk, and then make plans after further investigation.

After the plan was decided, Liu Yuan and the others got busy, and they quietly sent people to look for witness evidence.

The monks of the Holy Buddha Temple began to fidget during this time, and their hearts became panicked. The abbot's proud disciple, Master Ran, actually disappeared unknowingly.

The abbot sent everyone in the temple to look around, but after so many days, Master Ran still didn't find it.

And just last night, someone actually sneaked into the abbot's room and stole some of the abbot's things. The abbot was so angry that he scolded the warrior monks who guarded the temple in the temple.

And the Jade Emperor Temple, the largest Taoist temple in Wuxian County, the Taoist priests in the temple are also anxious during this time. Because their viewer also encountered thieves, and the room of the viewer was turned into a mess by the thieves.

It is said that a lot of important things have been lost, and the Guan Zhu has a very bad temper these days, and has punished many Taoist priests for some trivial things. In the past few days, when he saw anyone, he felt that he was a thief who had stolen his things, so that the Taoist priests in the temple did not dare to walk around in front of the master easily.

And there is also gossip in the county, saying that it is the Jade Emperor Temple and the Holy Buddha Temple, and many monks in it are well-dressed beasts dressed in monks' clothes. Relying on his status as a monk, he did a lot of things behind his back, and lost his conscience.

The abbot of the Holy Buddha Temple and the Jade Emperor Guan Guan Guan were also furious when they heard the news, and they sent many people to find out the source of the news, but there were no clues.

The people of Wu County are now divided into two factions. Some people, who trust the Holy Buddha Temple and the Jade Emperor Temple in their hearts, express great anger at the actions of this temple and the temple in private, believing that they are spreading rumors and slandering and will be punished by the gods.

But there are still some people, either themselves, or their relatives and friends who have suffered losses in this Jade Emperor Temple and the monks in the Holy Buddha Temple over the years.

In the past, the reputation of this temple and temple was very strong, and the common people revered them very much, so they suffered these losses, and they could only eat coptis dumbly and couldn't speak.

But now that many people are criticizing the temple and the temple, these people finally mustered up the courage to tell everyone what they had experienced. For a time, the reputation of the largest Taoist temple and temple in Wu County, which had long been gathered, fell to the lowest point in history.

Immediately after that, there was gossip in the county. It is said that Yang Yun, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, came to Wu County because he saw that some monks in the county seat of Wu County did not abide by their duties as monks and bullied the people, so he came to Wu County and prepared to clean up these unscrupulous monks.

But at the same time, there is another gossip, saying that the leader of the White Lotus Sect is jealous of the high status of the Holy Buddha as the abbot and the Jade Emperor Guan Guan and among the common people, so he deliberately did this, targeting the Jade Emperor Guan and the Holy Buddha Temple.

These days, the people who stand on the side of the Jade Emperor Temple and the Holy Buddha Temple, as well as the people who support the White Lotus Sect, often have disputes in the county, and they all feel that the spokesperson of the gods they support is the most correct.

"The monks of the Holy Buddha Temple knew this, relying on their status as monks. On many occasions, in the name of practicing medicine, he raped women and robbed people of their property. It has now been verified by the county government, and I have also pleaded guilty. Therefore, the county government decided to behead the evil monk in the vegetable market three days later. ”

A notice from the county government was posted, which immediately caused an uproar, and the people of Wu County rushed to tell each other and discussed one after another. or support the county government to punish evil monks, or denounce the county government for framing the Taoist monks.

The time of the three days came quickly, and early in the morning of this day, a prisoner cart came out of the county government and headed for the vegetable market under the protection of the officials.

But as soon as he walked a short distance, he was blocked by a large group of people. This group of people is very numerous, about one or two hundred thousand. Leading the way were a group of monks in monk's robes and Taoist priests in Taoist robes.

Many people have lived in the county for many years, and it can be seen at a glance that these monks are the senior monks of the Holy Buddha Temple, and these Taoists wearing Taoist priests are of course Taoist priests of the Jade Emperor Temple.

Behind these monks are the common people of Wuxian County. They were in awe of the Holy Buddha Temple and the Jade Emperor Temple. Hearing that this time they were going to punish the high monks in their minds, they immediately stood up and prepared these monks and Taoist priests to protect Master Ran together.

This large crowd blocked the procession of the county government escorting the prisoner van and prevented them from moving forward. The two sides were deadlocked here, and after a while, many people in the county town hurried to get the news and surrounded the place.

Wu County has a total population of more than 100,000, and there are only 20,000 or 30,000 permanent residents, but this time there are 40,000 or 50,000 people on the streets. It seems that many people from outside the county who got the news have also arrived in the county seat, and they all want to see in what direction this matter is going to develop?

"What's that?" Someone suddenly pointed in the direction of the county government and shouted. Soon, everyone at the scene saw a huge lotus flower suddenly rising in the county office.

This lotus flower slowly floated towards the top of everyone's heads, and people with sharp eyes saw that there was a young man in white sitting on top of the lotus. The lotus flower walked forward slowly, and everyone finally saw the appearance of this white-clothed young man clearly, and those who knew him immediately recognized it, and sitting on this lotus flower was Yang Yun, the king of Wu, who was known as the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

The lotus flower floated smoothly to the top of everyone's heads, and then stopped, and many people at the scene saw this scene, and quickly knelt on the ground and shouted: "I have seen the White Lotus Sect Master!" ”

The Taoist priests of the Jade Emperor Temple and the monks of the Holy Buddha Temple stood there without moving. So the 10,000 or 20,000 people behind them who supported them did not make any moves.

"Amitabha! Pretending to be a ghost in front of this abbot, I think you are looking for the wrong person. The abbot of the Holy Buddha Temple, who was wearing a red robe, looked at the lotus flower above his head and said loudly.

"These ghost tricks are also fiddling in front of the poor Dao, if the poor Dao is not afraid, if the true monarch of morality accuses the poor Dao of not having compassion, he will cast a spell to knock you down. "The one who said this was the Jade Emperor Guan Lord.

It was Yang Yun who was above the lotus, and after he finished playing cool, he jumped off the lotus. Standing in front of the prisoner car, the white lotus flower fluttered towards the sky.

"After being ascertained by the sect leader, this is a monk. Dressed in the cloak of a monk, he did a lot of things that lost his conscience. The evidence is conclusive, do you still want to shield this evil monk? Yang Yun looked at the people in front of him and said loudly.

"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse. If someone is arrested by you, you will be convicted casually, and you will want to frame the monks of our temple, and we will never let you succeed. At this time, a monk in the Holy Buddha Temple shouted loudly.

His words were immediately supported by the people behind them, and everyone shouted for Yang Yun to release the monk.

"With Ran's confession here, he has already pleaded guilty and insulted Liu Yue'e and other women who believe in them, do you still want to quibble?" A person next to the prisoner car shouted loudly, and the people looked up to see that this person was Guo Long, the county commander.

"You casually fabricate a crime, just want to frame the monks of our temple, do you have evidence and witnesses?" Another among the monks shouted.

"We are witnesses, and Yue'e dragged this Buddha bead from this evil monk is proof." Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd, and then an old man came out of the crowd, and there was a maid beside her.

This old man is Liu Yuanwai, and the maid beside him is the maid Qiyun who served Liu Yue'e to the Holy Buddha Temple for treatment that day.

When the two arrived at the scene, they tearfully accused the monk of the Holy Buddha Temple of violating Liu Yue'e in the name of curing the disease. The people who watched from the sidelines talked about it. There are soft-hearted people, and they shed tears with them.

"Not only that, but here is the sect master, but there are also bandits in the mountains, writing letters to Master Fang Zheng, the abbot of the Holy Buddha Temple, and Xuan Zhenzi, the master of the Jade Emperor's view. It can be proved that they have colluded with bandits for a long time and bullied the people in our county. Yang Yun took out a stack of letters and said loudly.

At this time, the monks in the Holy Buddha Temple, as well as the Taoist priest in the Jade Emperor's Guanguan, knew that it was the subordinates of Yang Yun, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and the king of Wu, who had entered the abbot and the main room of the temple.

"You forged letters in an attempt to frame us, and that was an insult to my monks." Master Fangzheng, the abbot of the Holy Buddha Temple, and Xuan Zhenzi, the master of the Jade Emperor's view, couldn't hold back anymore and said loudly.

"If you say that I forged letters, then I still have the letters that I have from the bandits, and the two of you personally wrote letters to the bandits. Are there any people who know the handwriting of this Master Fangzheng and Xuan Zhenzi Daoist at the scene, you come up and go over again, whether these are true or false. Yang Yun said loudly again.

Hearing Yang Yun say this, some people in the crowd who knew the notes of Master Fang Zheng and Daoist Xuan Zhenzi immediately walked out, picked up the letter in Yang Yun's hand and looked at it carefully.

As a result, they confirmed that these letters were indeed handwritten by Master Fangzheng and Daoist Xuan Zhenzi, respectively to Yan Xiong, the leader of the Rhino Valley bandits, and Liu Haini, the leader of the Saojiaogou bandits.

The monks, whom they respected very much, actually colluded with the bandits in the mountains and betrayed the interests of the common people who trusted them. The people in the crowd immediately talked about it, and some people were even indignant.

"Jade Emperor Guan, Xuan Zhenzi Dao Chang, encroached on my family's two acres of fertile land, and I have repeatedly asked people to theorize with them. But no one believed me, and asked the White Lotus Sect Master to be the master of the small people. A middle-aged man suddenly walked out of the crowd, knelt in front of Yang Yun and shouted loudly.

"My son has been ill for many years, and Master Fangzheng, the abbot of the Holy Buddha Temple, said that he could at least cure my son's illness. As a result, I almost bankrupted my family and donated a lot of sesame oil money to them, but my son still died, and asked the White Lotus Sect Master to be the master of the grass people. Another old farmer walked out tremblingly.

"The year before last, they insisted that my husband had fallen into an evil spirit, and a ghost came up to him and burned him alive." Another woman began to weep bitterly.
