Huo Cun, the lieutenant of the Feihuang Army, had a complicated feeling of being thrown into the pit, because he found that he had been detained and placed under house arrest in disguise.

Could it be that during this period of time, he should have been ordered to commit Tai Sui, first because the official army came to commit the offense, because he lost the important period for greedy cups, and was demoted and ordered to make up for the merits; Then he was involved in the dispute between the two current generals and deputy generals in the Feihuang Army, and then he was sent out to undertake this thankless errand.

This Baoling Temple is such a good place to attack, so why should the Feihuang Army wait until today to react; It's not just a matter of turning a blind eye to all sorts of bogeys; However, with the foundation of the collection and worship of the past dynasties in this temple, how can it be the turn of others to come and dispose of it.

It's just that this matter is irreparable, and as a messenger who came to deliver the message, he can't escape the blame, and he doesn't know how to be sent and disposed of when he goes back. He had already seen that this void monk of the Angry Wind Camp was in charge of the void, as if he had no reverence for most things in this world, as if he had seen through everything; is not an unscrupulous character who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and whoever stands up is unlucky.

And in the deputy general master he is familiar with, what kind of thoughts and thoughts did he have to provoke this person in the angry wind camp in private. At this time, a soldier from the rear camp came up to him and said.

"The head of the pipe has asked the lieutenant to enter the temple to search together, as a witness."

Huo Cun didn't pout, for the sake of today's plan, did he still have room to refuse and turn his face. I have to go in and see if there is anything to be saved.

Zhou Huai'an was very interesting, leading the team through the fire and destroyed and destroyed, like a dog gnawed the courtyard wall and the vestibule archway, the square platform, the entire Baolin Temple was suddenly revealed in front of him.

It covers an area of several inclinations and hundreds of buildings, is laid out on the central axis, seven before and after, the palace is brilliant, and the green trees are swaying. It is divided into several archways and the mountain gate of the square road, the "five-spice pavilion" and the release pond; The Great Hall of the Heavenly King and the Flower Garden, the left and right bell and drum towers; altar, flying pavilion, Danqi three treasure hall; Tibetan scripture building, Lingzhao Tower, ancestor hall.

Behind the mountain, there are the Pure Land Hall, the left and right monk halls, the lecture hall, the Xiangshu Kitchen (kitchen), the dining hall (canteen), the Ministry Hall (storehouse), the tea hall (reception room), the large and small Yunshui Hall (guest house), the Huizi Corridor and the Zhubei Pavilion, as well as the huge forest garden and pavilions including the Zhuo Xiquan where the six ancestors washed their bodies.

And between these building complexes, there are ancillary buildings such as front and rear corridors, front and rear hugging buildings, left and right ear rooms, and sub-step perimeter turns; On these quaint and dignified scale-like grey tile roofs, owl tails, owl kisses, beast camel vases, phase wheel towers, triple pavilions, green lions, white elephants, and swaggers (wonderful sound birds).

At first glance, it is a super rich dog who occupies all the surrounding acres and has received countless offerings for generations. It's just that these originally magnificent and ingenious places are inevitably burned by the blood stains and smoke that can be seen everywhere, as well as the garbage thrown all over the ground, which greatly spoils the scenery and destroys the quiet and elegant atmosphere between the gardens.

In the process of exploration and inspection, many monks and soldiers who looked blue and swollen or covered in blood and mud clad in variegated colors were disarmed and tied into strings with a rope, and the dejected fish were dragged out;

And in the distant back mountains, there seemed to be sporadic negative resistance going on, and it seemed that the soldiers who pursued the fleeing enemy had found a hidden place in it; Then, as the search operation gradually unfolded, more people of all kinds were searched, including some old and weak women and children.

There were more people hidden in this temple than expected, and there were two or three thousand people in total, except for a small number of big families and wealthy people who fled from all over the world to avoid disaster, the rest were mainly monks and soldiers from the temple and the local groups gathered from the other side. It's really become a base camp for rebels.

In addition, in the monks' houses, warehouses and dining halls in the back garden, many monks who were imprisoned were also found, is there any difference between the bald heads? With this mood, Zhou Huai'an finally stepped into the Pure Land Hall, which has the largest indoor area, and temporarily concentrated on the upper floors of many monks.

"You thieves, dare to defile the Pure Land of the Buddha Hall."

"I will definitely be retributed by the Buddha."

"A thief who does not know how to count will not die well"

"Wait a minute. The world is a cow and a horse. ”

"After death, go to hell."

"Reincarnated into the Livestock Hungry Ghost Path."

"From generation to generation, you must not be detached."

It wasn't until Zhou Huai'an stepped in with people that the noise stopped slightly;

Zhou Huai'an did not speak immediately, but looked left and right at the long paintings and lacquer carvings on the four walls of the carvings, all of which were Bunsen stories related to Buddhism or the changing scenes of secular emperors selling pawns.

Then, Zhou Huai'an saw the bald men who were forced to gather in front of the colorful mural of "Vimala Sutra Sutra", wearing Xuandi ochre-colored monk robes and decorated with vermilion ribbons; It seems that most of them are fat and big-eared, or fat and strong, or oily and shiny, or red-shiny, and a few people still embroider gold and silver edges on the cuffs and edges; He couldn't help but count in his heart.

"Thief leader, and what do you want?"

Then, again, a voice emerged among the monks.

"I don't know if this is the Buddha's present. Do you dare to use swords? ”

"You bald donkeys also know that this is the Buddha's present."

Zhou Huaian smiled contemptuously.

"When you hide the sword soldiers and allow you to gather the dead, why don't you know that this is the Buddha's current situation?"

"This is a means to protect the rights and interests of the upper and lower levels of the temple."

The other party couldn't help but pause before someone continued

"This is not what we want, but we have no choice but to do it."

"It's so helpless."

Zhou Huai'an continued to sneer.

"Hiding women in the meditation room, drinking wine, meat, eating, and playing extravagantly."

"It's also for the sake of protecting the public, and I have no choice but to do it."

"Since he is a six-rooted impure man, he dares to call it a great virtue and a pious faith."

Speaking of this, he waved his hand a little boringly

"Come on, take them down one by one and torture and screen them well."

"Make sure he wets the bed at the age of three, feeds at the age of five, and peeps at the neighbor's wife at the age of seven. "

Then Zhou Huai'an added.

"If there is a hard mouth or disrespectful words, then help him to transcend the bliss of the afterlife as soon as possible."

"This skin does not need to be cremated for Nirvana, it is directly chopped and fed to the pigs, and the reincarnation of the animal path is good."

"It's environmentally friendly and clean. Isn't it beautiful? ”

"Evil thief."

"You don't deserve to die."

"The king spares his life."

"The little monk didn't go all the way to them."

In the midst of the shouts and cries that grabbed the sky and the earth, after these bald donkeys were taken away one by one, several old monks who looked gray and had even scars on their bodies, and were only wearing inner sheets, were brought in.

"Lao Qu Yixin, add to be the head of the monk of this temple."

The eldest monk said with a sad face

"I don't know what this general means."

"The temple is just a place for meditation, and it should not be ravaged and plundered by your department."

"It's all come to this point, do you still want to be sloppy with me?"

Zhou Huaian sneered.

"Don't think that if you can recite a few words of Buddha, you can pretend to be deaf and dumb."

"Isn't there still a relic of six rents in this temple?"

"If you don't want to talk well, then pull it out and chop it up and feed it to the dog."

"Then I took out the relics of the past dynasties and took them to mix dung and water the fields."

"Never."

Then he heard a cry of astonishment

"Don't."

"If you want to, take my life, don't touch the Buddha treasure."

"Is this going to destroy my Garan?"

At this time, the screams outside also began to faintly come, making their faces even more difficult to see.

"I want your life for nothing, I just want everything you know."

Zhou Huai'an shook his head boringly

"And the ins and outs of all this."

"Okay, please forgive the general."

The old monk couldn't help but droop the corners of his eyes, and once again lowered his head in a deep voice.

"But if you have an inquiry, the old man will answer it."

"Please spare those who have nothing to do with it."

"It's not up to you to decide if it's not related."

Zhou Huai'an was reluctant to interrupt him again

"It must be identified and identified."

Next, according to him, more than 100 years ago, there were actually three dojos left by the six ancestors Huineng, the Guangzhou Faxing Temple (now Guangxiao Temple) where he first preached the Dharma, the Shaozhou Baolin Temple where he opened the door to teach the Dharma, and the Xinzhou Guoen Temple that finally passed away; In order to compete for the status of the ancestral court and the lineage of the southern faction, there were many rounds and disputes, and in the end, it was designated by the imperial court in the Baolin Temple where the relics of the six ancestors were located.

It's just that with the southward movement of the Huangchao army, local thieves took the opportunity to swarm into chaos, and the Faxing Temple in Guangzhou and the Guoen Temple in Xinzhou were successively hit by military disasters. The rest of the monks fled to Shaozhou with their weapons and scriptures, seeking refuge in the local Baolin Temple, which had the government's permission to protect the temple; So in this monastery in recent days, the monks from these places are also from these places and mingle with each other.

Then there were people from large local households, etc., who fled to the monastery to seek refuge one after another, and Baoling Temple was as usual to accept those who came from the convenient door and did not refuse; As a result, the problem was removed, and many remnants of the officers and soldiers also took the opportunity to sneak into the temple and began to encourage those who suffered and hated the rebels.

As a result, a few days ago, at the instigation of monks from two other monasteries, together with the young and strong people from well-to-do and wealthy families in the monastery, they occupied the vulture's nest and imprisoned most of the local monk leaders who did not want to be troubled. began to rely on this Baoling Temple, echoing the newly launched Tutuan armed forces in the locality, and then coerced these monks to protect the temple, and carried out large-scale activities in the name of Baolin Temple;

As a result, it also instigated and bewitched many villagers in the local area, and drove around to destroy and even destroy it, creating a lot of trouble in the rear of the rebel army; That's why I borrowed troops to seek foreign aid.
