Chapter 16 Fighting evil monks and heroes give a helping hand
Daoyan said goodbye to the ancestral legend and went on the road with Liu Yueer and Li Xixi.
In order to hide people's eyes, Li Xixi no longer went naked, and wore a coarse cloth coat, a hat, and a tenant farmer's dress.
"It's finally here!" Li Xixi took off his hat and fanned himself, his thick eyebrows arched upward, his eyes widened to lift his spirits, and his mouth kept cursing the hot weather.
The three of them were cautious along the way, dodging the Yuan soldiers, and finally returned to the city of Pingjiang Road.
"Miss Liu, I'll go and deliver the letter for Master first, and I'll look for you later."
"Then Uncle Li and I will contact the sect members in the city first, and we will meet in the bamboo forest that night."
I don't know if Liu Yue'er chose the bamboo forest as the meeting place intentionally or unintentionally, Dao Yan was a little pleased, "Then you must be careful." ”
"Don't worry." After Liu Yue'er responded softly, the three of them temporarily separated.
Bao'en Temple is located in the city of Pingjiang Province, famous for its pagoda, and is very easy to find.
The temple tower was built in the Southern Dynasty Liang, and then rebuilt into a nine-level eight-sided pagoda in the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the height is more than 20 zhang, the temple tower stands for thousands of years, with a heavy historical atmosphere.
Compared with the Miaozhi Nunnery where he was, Dao Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, such a big temple must have monks in it must be extraordinary.
Dao Yan's heart longed for it, and he had already arrived at the temple gate, and bowed to the monk who was sweeping the floor at the door, "This senior brother, may I ask where Elder Miaozhen is?" ”
The sweeping monk didn't return the salute, frowning and squinting at Dao Yan, "Which temple are you from?" ”
Although he was slightly unhappy, he still replied respectfully: "I am a novice from Xiangcheng Myozhian, and I have sent a letter to Elder Myozhen on the orders of Master Zongchuan. ”
Dao Yan was about to take out the letter from his sleeve, but the sweeping monk showed a mocking expression and sneered, "Miaozhian? It's just a shabby broken temple, and a few old monks in it dare to be called masters? ”
Seeing such a long-standing Buddhist temple, Dao Yan originally had respect, but he didn't see himself respectfully visiting, but he was laughed at, and his heart was extremely angry, "I am respectful, why do you repeatedly speak disrespectfully?" ”
"Are you in a hurry to say a few words? Then get away, don't get mixed up and come to the big tree to enjoy the shade! The sweeping monk thought that Daoyan, who was born in a small temple, had come to take refuge in Bao'en Temple, and such a novice monk had seen a lot, so he wanted to take the opportunity to show his status by being sarcastic.
With such an evil monk, how good can the other people in the temple be? If you don't go to see her, Dao Yan turned his head and wanted to leave.
"What's the matter? Rolled out so soon? I see that your master is also a shrunken turtle, and he has no face to show his head, so he is looking for a waste apprentice. Seeing that Daoyan scolded and didn't return the favor, the sweeping monk became even more unscrupulous and ridiculed one after another.
The young and vigorous Dao Yan really couldn't bear it, so he turned around suddenly, and kicked the sweeping monk's stomach!
The sweeping monk thought that Dao Yan was a soft persimmon that was easy to pinch, where did he think that he would dare to do something to him?
Before he could react, the kick had already been firmly kicked in his abdomen, and the sweeping monk was kicked back a few steps by the force of the kick before he didn't fall.
"You, how dare you hurt someone?" The sweeping monk was extremely uncomfortable at the moment, with an expression of pain and surprise on his face, pointing at Dao Yan and asking.
Dao Yan used to beat someone for the first time in his life, and he couldn't help but be afraid when he saw this, his arms trembled slightly, but when he remembered the hateful face of the evil monk in front of him, he clenched his fists again, and mustered up the courage to threaten loudly, "If you dare to insult my master again, I will kill you today!" ”
The two are at the main gate of the temple, and the pilgrims who enter the temple to worship the Buddha are endless, and when they see a monk fighting, they soon gather in a circle, pointing and pointing, and discussing.
The sweeping monk was beaten on his own ground, where was he willing, and shouted loudly, "Someone, someone is beating someone!" ”
The crowd was restless, and a monk officer approached with a few servants, and the sweeping monk immediately said with great joy: "Uncle! This monk from the countryside is quite unreasonable, and he dares to hurt people in broad daylight!"
The territory of the Yuan Dynasty was vast, because Tubo was included in the administrative territory, it was different from the establishment of the monk official system in the past dynasties, and the general system of the Yuan, the presidential office of the explanatory state, the Xuanzheng Yuan, and the meritorious envoy department were set up in the central government.
After Tibetan Buddhism became the official religion, the emperor's strong admiration and the special historical situation led to the difference between the monastic institutions in Han and Tibet.
The monk's name is Zongshan, and he is a court judge affiliated to the Jiangnan Xuanzheng Yuan! The Jiangnan Xuanzheng Yuan has been repeatedly abolished and relocated, and at this time it has been moved to Hangzhou Road to manage the affairs of Buddhism in the Jiangnan provinces.
There are monks in the temple who have passed the test and become a big man in the management of monks and laymen, and the status of Bao'en Temple has naturally risen, and it is no wonder that a sweeping monk is so unpopular.
As the saying goes, "Wealth does not return to the hometown, like brocade clothes walking at night." At this time, Zong Shan came to Pingjiang Fucheng on an errand, so he naturally wanted to go back to his monk's Bao'en Temple, but he unexpectedly saw this scene.
Dao Yan didn't know what the identity of the other side was, but he didn't look like an ordinary monk official, and his secret path was not good, so he got into trouble.
Seeing that Zong Shan was still silent, the sweeping monk squeezed out some tears and cried, "Uncle Shi, he has bullied the door, you must be the master for me!" ”
Being cried by him like this, Zong Shan couldn't get over his face, and said expressionlessly, "Amitabha, you dare to be rude in front of the Buddhist temple, come and arrest him." ”
Dao Yan just wanted to explain, and the four guards behind Zong Shan rushed up and punched and kicked Dao Yan.
Dao Yan was angry in his heart, even if I die, I will not be insulted by you again!
Letting go of life and death, his courage suddenly grew, and there was nothing to fear in his heart, Dao Yan no longer resisted, and used all his strength to fight at the crowd.
The servants did all the bullying of the people, and when they started, they beat people who didn't dare to resist, and when they saw Dao Yan desperately resisting, they were also a little frightened for a moment.
But helplessly, the other party was overwhelmed, Dao Yan was beaten lightly in a few breaths, and a Hu Cong punched Dao Yan in the nose, and blood suddenly flowed out, Dao Yan was stunned, and just wanted to fight back, another Hu Cong went around to Dao Yan's back, and found an opportunity to kick it hard!
"Phew!"
I only heard a loud shout, like the thunder of Kui Niu into everyone's ears, the people present were frightened and trembled, and in an instant, a young man with colored eyes who was more than seven feet long raised his leg horizontally, blocked the kick towards Dao Yan, and then rushed forward and knocked Hu Cong to the ground with a punch!
Hu Cong, who was knocked down, only felt that Venus was shining in his eyes, and the cheekbone position that was hit seemed to be cracked, and the pain was unbearable, covering his face and wailing.
Dao Yan was also surprised, following the prestige, the person who came did not look like a Han person, tall, extremely strong, standing still like a hill pressed on his chest, his eyebrows were slender beyond his eyes, his eyes were round, and a few hairs on the left side of his face stood up, which was really powerful and domineering, like an angry King Kong.
"What a group of evil monks, relying on the strength of the crowd, dare to hurt people indiscriminately, I will meet you!"
The strong man roared angrily, relying on his burly and powerful body, and did not dodge, and rushed straight towards the remaining three servants.
Several people were already frightened, and they didn't dare to move in fear, and they were all knocked to the ground by the strong man's three punches and two kicks.
Seeing that the person who came was not good, and he was not a Han Chinese, he was afraid that he was a Mongolian or a nobleman, so he squinted his eyes and asked out loud, "Who are you?" Dare to be so presumptuous in front of the Buddha! ”
The strong man snorted lightly, crossed his hands on his waist and said: "Ignorant dog thing, my grandfather was just posthumously named King Lu by His Majesty this year, and my brother-in-law is the imperial lieutenant Sai Yin Chi Dahu, what qualifications do you have to question me?" ”
Zong Shan gasped when he heard this, shouldn't this be a genuine nobleman? But in the end, this is his own territory, and it was the person who injured himself with his hands, and after thinking about it, he replied: "Even so, what is wrong with the poor monk disciplining the disciples of Buddhism?" Why is Your Excellency so arrogant and wounding my attendants? ”
The strong man sneered: "I just beat it, what can you do?" Immediately, he glanced at the sweeping monk who was still lying on the ground and couldn't get up, and walked over and lifted him up.
"You! If you tell a lie, I will tear your mouth apart! ”
The strong man smiled like a ghost, and the sweeping monk was already frightened, how dare he not tell the truth, and hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Shi, I had a dispute with him, and he did it." ”
"Oh? He's going to do it to you just for an argument? The strength of the strong man's hand has increased a little.
"No, no, no, I saw that he was honest and repeatedly insulted him."
"See? Old monk. I really don't know how you passed the trial with such a stupid pig as a waste. The strong man sneered, and Zong Shan didn't dare to argue deeply, so he could only admit it, snort coldly, and turned around and left with Hucong.
The strong man threw down the sweeping monk and spat it, "Dog thing, get out of here!" ”
Dao Yan thought that his life could not be saved this time, and someone actually helped to relieve the siege, so he was very grateful in his heart, and bowed respectfully, "Thank you to the donor for coming to the rescue, I am really grateful." Dare to ask the name of the donor? I will repay you in the future! ”
The strong man acted arrogantly, but he was very polite to Dao Yan, "Little Master doesn't have to be like this, I have seen a lot of bullying dogs and things on my trip to the south, and I have seen many southerners who dare not resist in a low voice." This is the first time I have met someone like you who dares to defend Master's reputation with his life. ”
Patronizing and appreciating Dao Yan, he forgot to introduce himself, and added with an embarrassed smile: "Under the name of Chahan Timur, the word Tingrui, is a Semu person, and the Chinese name is Li Chahan." Whichever one you think is easy to call, call me whichever one is. Where is the little master? ”
Dao Yan gave another salute, "In the lower Dharma name Dao Yan, he has not yet been ordained as a monk, and he is the novice of Miaozhi'an." ”
Chakhan Timur sighed and sighed with emotion: "A little novice can fight for his master's reputation, but countless warriors of my Dayuan have fallen like pigs and dogs in the pen!" Alas! ”
