405, the monks who are worried and afraid

And then everyone showed a look, you can't be kidding us, right?

Seeing that the monks said everything I said, Master Shuo frowned and said sharply: "Okay! Now, in full view of everyone, do you want to lose the face of the temple if you act like this? Don't discuss it anymore, go back to your seats, and at this time the old man has his own plans! ”

Seeing that Master Chen seemed to be about to refute, Master Shuo said with a look that could not be refused: "You don't need to say anything more, this matter is over, you can continue to meditate!" ”

The monks knew that Master Shuo valued face the most, so they didn't dare to say anything more, and they all returned to their respective positions to close their eyes and meditate.

It's just that from the appearance of the monks tilting their heads and pricking up their ears, they know that their minds are all on Master Fayi and Master Shuo.

At this time, Master Shuo sighed and said, "Alas...... The child who fell from the sky was not an immortal at all, but the Wei King Li Tai......"

"What," Fa Yi screamed.

"That's right!" Master Shuo's face was indifferent, as if he was not surprised by Fayi's reaction: "According to your description, that person is Wei Wang Li Tai, that is, one of the promoters of this Buddha extermination. ”

Legal: "......"

As if he didn't think that Fayi was stimulated enough, Master Shuo said: "Although Master Wei knows that he has some miraculous methods, he never thought that he could change a person's appearance like this!" ”

After speaking, Master Shuo showed a very complicated look on his face, as if he was remorseful, as if he was guilty, and there was a trace of fear of the unknown.

After a moment of silence, Master Shuo said: "But what worries Master Wei the most is that it can be seen from Li Tai's attack on you that he or the imperial court can no longer accept us to continue to disturb the order here, so he will attack you, the purpose is to create panic and make us chaotic, and the teacher believes that Li Tai or the imperial court will soon take further action, so we will face the most difficult moment next!" ”

When Fa Yi heard his master's explanation, he was instantly stunned, he thought that this time there was such a big trouble, the court would definitely give in in the end, and they would be fine in the end, but who would have thought that this was just his wishful thinking, the court did not intend to let them go at all, and he did not play cards according to common sense, and directly used unpredictable means to clean them up.

Oh, my God! This time he turned him into a pig's nose and an eagle's beak, so what will happen to him next time

I can't even do it!

Then they are sent to the place where the animal should finally go - the desk to complete the animal's final mission.

As if he had discovered something, Fa Yi's face was full of horror, and he muttered to himself, "No...... Impossible......"

Thinking of a certain possibility, Fa Yi couldn't help but shudder, and his hands clenched Master Shuo's hand like a drowning person seeing a life-saving straw: "Master, this is not true, King Wei shouldn't be so bold!" ”

Oh, my God! Wouldn't this be how the mutton distributed by King Wei just now? Thinking that the mutton eaten in the mouths of the people was actually a person, and that he was likely to become the next batch of sheep, Fayi's hands and feet trembled.

Master Shuo didn't know that Fa Yi was drilling the horns in his mind, and he only thought that he was afraid of Li Tai's monk's revenge, so he was relieved: "Apprentice, don't worry! Li Tai, no matter how great his ability is, he has to be reasonable, he will never poison us, and even if he really disregards morality and kills us, the Buddha will bless us and will not let him succeed! ”

Hearing this, Fa Yi had to nod bitterly, he naturally didn't dare to tell Master Shuo about his guess, otherwise he was afraid that he would be scolded to the core.

As for the Buddha will protect them, he completely scoffs at this kind of argument, if there is really a Buddha, then he has done so many bad things in the name of the Buddha, I am afraid that he would have been punished by the Buddha a long time ago! But in fact, he is still alive and well, and there is nothing at all!

After a while, Master Shuo said, "Fayi, you should continue to sit in meditation!" Maybe the Buddha will restore you to your original appearance because of your piety! ”

Hearing Master's amusing words, he was still very frightened, but he almost couldn't help laughing.

However, in order not to make the master angry, he still forced a smile and said, "Master, please rest assured, Fayi will go back to zazen now." ”

Master Shuo nodded when he heard this, then closed his eyes and continued to sit in meditation.

Seeing this, Fa Yi did not delay, quickly returned to his futon and began to meditate.

However, although Fayi seemed to be meditating, he was actually thinking about one thing in his heart, but he didn't know how to decide.

Fa Yi had heard that Li Tai was a very greedy person, so he was thinking about whether to buy Li Tai and let Li Tai restore his body to its original state for him, and at the same time show mercy to his subordinates.

Originally, this idea was very good, but he was worried about two things, the first was that if Li Tai received the money and didn't do anything, what should he do, isn't this a meat bun beating a dog, and he won't go back?

The second is how much money should be given, less afraid that Li Tai will be unhappy and will not agree to help, and more he himself is distressed about money and is not happy.

For a while, the law and righteousness were very entangled, and I didn't know how to decide.

And the monks who had been listening attentively to the conversation between Master Shuo and Master Shuo's master and apprentice couldn't help but shudder when they knew that the immortal who turned Fayi into a monster was actually their sworn enemy Li Tai who cursed day and night, and they couldn't help but tremble, afraid that Li Tai would find out about their cursing Li Tai, and then turn them into monsters like Fayi.

But when they heard that this was not a single incident, but the beginning of Li Tai's actions, and there were more to come, they couldn't sit still.

Oh, my God! Most of them only became monks for the sake of livelihood and safety, but now they are facing something more terrifying than death.

Thinking that after becoming monsters, they would be isolated, ostracized, and even persecuted by people and their families, so they all opened their closed eyes one after another, intending to tell Master Shuo that they should not be monks, they should return to the vulgar.

But in the face of Master Shuo, they couldn't speak.

Not because they are afraid, but because they are reluctant to get the benefits of being a monk!

The benefits of being a monk are so great that even the lowest monks have countless benefits.

First of all, you don't have to pay taxes, although the taxes in the Tang Dynasty are not high, but it is better not to pay or not, and as long as you become a monk and get the recognition of the imperial court, you can not pay a little tax, it can be said that you can be at ease, you can spend as much as you earn, and you don't have to consider the problem of taxes, so this is also the reason why Li Yuan will agree to reduce Buddhism, it is really after the late Sui and early Tang Dynasty periods, the number of monks or Taoist priests in the country has far exceeded one million, so many people do not produce, and do not have to pay taxes, It has completely become a cancer that grows on Datang's body.
