Liu Lan saw such a passage in later generations, people have souls, but animals only have souls. The human spirit refers to conscience (natural moral instincts), intuition (spiritual awareness), and fellowship (matters of worship). God wants man to "worship him in spirit and in truth," and faith is the choice and holding of man's outlook on life, values, and worldview. If people have no faith, they are like having no soul, just like animals, they only know how to eat and sustain life, and if they don't have the values and worldview of life, what is the meaning of life? Life should have ideals and pursuits, which is the value of human survival. Therefore, people have to have faith, and those who do not have faith are like blind people.

After Liu Lan came to this season, he wanted to worship ghosts and gods like Confucianism, but he had no parents to worship, only his eldest brother to worship, he wanted to see Taoist immortals, but he never had the opportunity, so he walked in the world like a blind man, although the right did not blind his eyes, but he has been looking for that spiritual harbor, but unfortunately, in this era, without the emperor's respect, Buddhism is like the street rat that everyone shouts and beats, Confucianism does not allow Taoism not to let it, even if Liu Lan wants to help them, there is nothing he can do, It is the former Lord of the world, Emperor Ling, the king of a country, and the protector is only one White Horse Temple, not to mention Liu Lan, since the day he entered Guangling County, he felt the pressure on his face, especially when Chen Deng arrived, but what he said was not wrong, Xuzhou suffered a sudden decline in population after Cao Cao's military disaster, and now it is urgent to move the people of Guangling to fill Xuzhou, how can it be like Zhenrong to leave the Buddhism that entered the WTO, or it is completely different from the Buddhism he is familiar with, and now Buddhists not only drink wine but also eat meat, In addition to not being close to women, almost all of them are Jigong, and there are a few such monks, but there are many, and they don't produce and don't pay taxes. How could Liu Lan possibly let them hype Buddhism in Guangling?

The old monk's abacus is very good, but unfortunately Liu Lan will never agree to exchange his death for the living space of Buddhism in Guangling, hope is dashed, Liu Lan will not compromise, but to the old monk's surprise, Liu Lan suddenly said a live word: "If you can convince me to subordinate ministers, maybe I can allow you to keep this temple from being demolished!" ”

"Really?" An old monk who looked down on life and death became excited. With his hands folded, he sent Liu Lan off, but at the moment when he was about to leave the house, Lao He suddenly said: "Only then did Jun Yan Taoist talk about the abbot, but Jun would never know that the source of the word abbot is my interpretation of the door scripture "Vimala Sutra", this book has been in the Middle Earth for 50 years, has been Sanskrit, until the fourth year of Emperor Lingguang and the fourth year was translated into Chinese by Duwei Xuan'an Xuan and Yan Futuo, since then I have the second son of the abbot in China. If we talk about the hearts of the people and the heart of heaven, the abbot of the Buddhist family originally only referred to the abbot's room or guest hall in the temple, and because the presiding bedroom is all square, although the house is small, it can accommodate the public, accommodating 3,000 worlds, 100,000 small worlds and 10 trillion Buddha land. Do you say yes or no? ”

Liu Lan looked back at the old monk with a simple appearance. I didn't expect him to be waiting for him here, although he didn't say it explicit before. It's just that he will arrange a debate, but Liu Lan understands that he must be able to understand and understand his own hardships, but now that he is speaking bluntly on the topic of the abbot, Liu Lan naturally has no scruples, and said with a smile: "Okay." Since you told me that Buddhism can accommodate 3,000 worlds, 100,000 small worlds, and a total of 10 trillion Buddha lands, then I, Liu Lan, can still accommodate the Buddha Gate, but I can't be too oriented to you in this matter, and I still need to rely on yourself. As long as you can win the debate, I will allow Guangling to save three more temples, but once you lose the debate, then don't blame Liu for not having the capacity to tolerate Buddha, not only to drive Buddha but also to slaughter Buddha in Xuzhou! ”

"Thank you, the old man has the confidence to let the Buddha stay in Guangling!"

"That's for the best!"

A few days later, Xu Shu entered Guangling City with Triumph, Zhen Rong was seriously injured, and he has been rescuing, but in his current form, it doesn't matter whether he is alive or not, the removal of the Buddhist temple has already begun, and with the return of Xu Shu, Zhang Fei and others, the speed has accelerated. It was very smooth, I thought that there would be a bloody conflict did not happen, and in just half a month, nearly one-third of the temples were cleared, and nearly 10,000 monks were persuaded to return to the laity, of course, everything was accelerated according to Liu Lan's removal of all temples and only one temple of Hongfa Temple, and in this Puci also made a lot of efforts, otherwise Liu Lan believed that it would never be so smooth.

However, as more and more temples were demolished, the steady Guangling City suddenly spread the rumors that Yuan Shu was about to attack Xuzhou for some reason, and Yuan Shu also sent someone to explain this matter, but the disease did not stop the rumors, but it became more and more intense, and on the streets, the children actually began to sing a song from somewhere:

"The moon is round, the head is a little bit, welcome the old and the new and change the sky, King Kong angrily beheads the evil - the butterfly is the cloud."

The day after the ballad spread in Guangling, Liu Lan recruited Xu Shu, Guan Yu and Chen Deng, since the ballad has no clue, is it possible to guess the clue from the ballad?

Such ballads often mean something, but they are done by people with intentions, and they will never appear out of thin air, and if they want to confuse the crowd, they must naturally be easy to understand, otherwise the common people will not understand, and such a ballad will lose its role.

The full moon is the meaning of the full moon, and the head is dotted, what does this head refer to? Since it appears in nursery rhymes, it is definitely a person, if it is a person, a person has hair on his head, a crown and a scarf, but what will this little bit be? At the critical moment, I have to say that it has to be Chen Deng, who actually thought of the ring scar on the monk's head, so it is self-evident to connect with the last few words of this ballad, which is to say that the monk wants to rebel at the full moon, drive Liu Lan away and continue to drink porridge and eat meat.

"Do you think this is credible?" Liu Lan asked a few people, at this point in time, it was said that the monk rebelled Liu Lan, did he believe it, if he wanted to rebel, why did he go earlier, but he wanted to rebel when all the troops were now assembled in Guangling? Crazy, impossible, there are people who want to use this matter to completely suppress the monk, or someone wants to take advantage of the contradiction between him and the monk to profit from it, if it is the former, then it is Confucianism, if it is the latter, in the current situation, it is nothing more than Yuan Shu. Either it's Yuan Shao now.

Just when the four of them guessed who was making a small move behind the scenes to cause him to kill the Buddhists, Zhang Jaw appeared, since the appearance of the ballad he began to be in charge of the security of Guangling, and today he found a strange thing, I heard that in the past two days, every time before the street is cleaned, there are many monks and people who have returned to the temple that has not been cleared. According to the people, these people came back every night and morning, and it was impossible to find out what they had done all night. Immediately, Zhang Jaw began to visit the people everywhere, and got an important clue from it, the Linyang Temple in Linyang is the place with the most monks every day.

Liu Lan was silent, in his heart, he couldn't help but associate this matter with the nursery rhymes on the street, even Liu Lan had such an idea, not to mention the rest of the people, Guan Yu got up and said, "Lord, it's very clear now." The nursery rhyme that suddenly appeared on the side of the street must have been made by the monk rebelled, and judging from the situation found by Junyi, the monks must be stepping up their preparations, maybe they will attack the Taishou Mansion as soon as the lord leaves Guangling, and even attack the school field to save Zhenrong. ”

"Yun Chang is right, whether this matter is true or not, whether the monks want to rebel or not, we must be vigilant and take precautions." Liu Lan was also afraid. Fear of being taken advantage of by someone with a heart causes the monks to backlash. After all, there are too many monks in Guangling, and if something like this happens, it will inevitably make them profitable, so a proper plan must be formulated for this matter, and the monks must be caught in a net, and there must be no fish that slip through the net.

After some deliberation, a proper deployment was made, and then Guan Yu began to arrange. It was not until sunset that he returned with Zhang Jaw, Xu Chu, Zhang Fei, and Zhang Ping, and when they came to the meeting hall, Guan Yu said: "Lord, everything has been arranged, and all the temples in the city have sent heavy troops except for Hongfa Temple. Respectively, by the ministers on behalf of the East Gate, Junyi West Gate, Yide North Gate, Zhongkang South Gate, tonight only waiting for the Lord to sound the arrow as the number, the Xuzhou army on all sides will work together, will all the monks arrested, in case of resistance, kill not to mention! ”

Zhang Ping, who came with Zhang Fei, thought that they had arranged a day today to slaughter the monks tonight, especially after discovering the murderous aura that Zhang Fei inadvertently revealed around him, his heart was pounding with fright.

"It's the same as the battlefield, as long as you resist, it seems good, but Yun Chang, Guangling is not a battlefield now, and they are not enemy generals, just some monks, just say that the ballad, it's just a rumor without evidence, they sing like this, it may not mean that they really want to rebel, but it may be deliberate, you have walked through me and thought about it carefully, this matter is estimated to be someone secretly making trouble, you think, as soon as such an easy-to-understand ballad comes out, the monks will not be afraid, can they not think about self-preservation, so tonight is still mainly captured, let them rest assured, peace of mind, only in this way can we feel at ease to deal with the mastermind behind the scenes. ”

Chen Deng was the first to object, and said: "My lord, it is understandable that you want to protect them, after all, they have always been my Han people, but you said that they gathered not to rebel but to defend, but what is the difference between this and rebellion?" They are all lawless people, deceived by Hu Sang's fallacies, like this like Han Shi Hu, people who don't know filial piety should not sympathize, not to mention that they are not excusable, since General Guan recovered Guangling County, he issued a curfew, prohibiting the people from gathering after the city gate was closed, at this time, the lord to Guangling also emphasized again that in order to stabilize the curfew in Guangling, it must be implemented, even after the ministers took up their new duties, they also applied again and again, the ministers did not believe that these monks would not know this strict order, but they ignored the law, and had met twice at night, relying on this alone, even if the lord orders all the killings tonight, the people will never be the slightest dissatisfied, after all, they are the ones who disobey the order first! ”

"That being said, but these tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people's lives, if I really raise the butcher's knife to them, then what do you say is the difference between me and the Huangfu Song who slaughtered the Yellow Turban soldiers back then?"

At the moment when Liu Lan's words fell, Zhang Ping, who had been listening, spoke up, and from Fang Cai's conversation, he had completely understood the ins and outs of this matter, bowed down and said: "This matter is reasonable, and as far as the last general knows, these monks are definitely not going to rebel, there is a temple in the boy's hometown, and they will do the six fasting rites on these days every month, and the reason why they will gather at night is only because the king forbids the Buddha and does not dare to blatantly gather during the day, so he is forced to choose to gather at night." ”

"Six lents? What is this, tell me in detail. ”

This so-called Liu Zhai means that the monks of each month on the 11st, 14th, 15th, 28th, 29th, and 33rd days of each month, because the monks gather together on these six days every month, it is called Liuzhai.

Lent is an important Buddhist festival, and before these six days, the monks will gather, because of the day of fasting, so they eat only one pilgrimage meal a day on these six days, and they will not eat again after noon.

Zhang Ping dissuaded him after telling everything he knew, and said: "I'm afraid it's a big mistake for the lord to take these people, how can these monks dare to go against the lord, they must be framed, if the lord really wants to execute them, then they will all die in vain." Although Zhang Ping does not believe in Buddhism, he knows very well that all Buddhists need to go to the temple to fast on this day, and the reason why he knows such a secret thing is all due to his mother, who is a Buddhist herself.

After Zhang Ping finished telling the ins and outs, the performance of the lord changed, and he was even dumbfounded, too, if Zhang Ping hadn't appeared, I was afraid that these monks would really encounter a catastrophe.

Guan Yu got up at the right time, he didn't have the idea of protecting anyone, he just persuaded from his true feelings in his heart: "Lord, you can't hesitate at this time, the three armies have been assembled, just wait for the lord to give an order, they will rush in and arrest all these monks, he always believes that these monks are definitely not discussing rebellion, even their great benefactor Zhen Rong with tens of thousands of troops have been defeated, why bother with these monks, and said: "At this time, no matter who you are, you can hesitate, but Liu Lan can't, He can control the lives of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people in one word, although they may have been wronged, but now he must make a statement, otherwise I don't know how many people will be in different places tonight, just ask Guan Yu at this time naturally have to let Liu Lan make a decision, otherwise the four of them who acted tonight really don't know how to do it.

"Tonight, you will wait for me to sound the arrows." (To be continued.) )
