Hanshan Temple was originally a ruined temple in Suzhou, but because of a Fengqiao night park, it became a place where literati and celebrities gathered.

Hou Xuanyan led people into the temple, and met a monk lazily leaning against the door, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he suddenly opened his eyes, only to see a group of fierce soldiers entering the temple.

The little novice screamed, and hurriedly ran to the temple to report the news.

Hou Xuanyan led the crowd into the temple, only to see that in the center of the terrace at the entrance of the main hall, there was a copper tripod, and the tripod was engraved with the four big characters of "a serious book".

Hou Xuanyan sneered: "It's serious, it's really a shame for what they said." ”

Yang Qingshan, the head catcher who was transferred by him, turned red and said: "Commander, these are two sentences, and there are four words on the back: "Hundred refining into steel". ”

It turns out that this tripod also has allusions, and it is also involved in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism. Once, there was a dispute between the monks and the Taoist priests in the temple to see whose scriptures could withstand the fire. The Buddhists put the "Diamond Sutra" into the bronze fire, and the scriptures were unharmed. In order to praise this past, this eight-character is engraved on the tripod to commemorate.

After listening to Yang Qingshan's explanation, Hou Xuanyan was even more disdainful, and he didn't need to think about it to know that this group of fans of Indian Ah San must have used the tricks of the rivers and lakes. If the scriptures are not burned, it has nothing to do with the content of the scriptures, and eighty percent has to do with the materials of the book.

A white and fat monk, with a group of monks and soldiers, drove out with a scolding.

When he saw the hundreds of people behind Hou Xuanyan, all holding sharp blades, the old monk hurriedly carried the stick in his hand behind him and threw it on the ground unconsciously.

He single-handedly proclaimed the Buddha's name, his face seemed to have a glowing light, and his treasure was solemn, like a god and Buddha possessed.

"Amitabha, the donor came to the temple, I don't know what it is?"

Hou Xuanyan didn't hear it, turned around and said to Yang Qingshan: "I will transport this copper tripod to the Armed Forces Division in a while, I think I can make a lot of arrows." ”

The old monk was shocked, they had always calculated other people's money, and they were all behind their backs. This young man discussed in front of him to grab his own things.

Hou Xuanyan turned to him, spat on him, and scolded: "I look like a human, but it's a pity that I have a wolf's heart and dog lungs." I heard that you are partnering with Duoduo's soldiers to offer a group of our Han women to Dolgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty? ”

The old monk looked calm and said calmly: "Don't believe people's words, our Hanshan Temple is one of the top ten famous temples in the world, although the monks in the temple are not very clever in Buddhism, but they are dedicated to goodness, and they can never do such things." ”

Hou Xuanyan laughed angrily, and he didn't find out the monk caught by Yihong Courtyard to expose him. He stepped forward with a smile, pointed to the copper tripod and said, "I heard that there is a copy of the Diamond Sutra in your temple, and it can't be burned if it is thrown into the fire, yes or no?" ”

The old monk was overjoyed in his heart, announced a Buddha name, and said: "What the donor said is not bad, come on, go and bring the treasure scripture and let the donor see it." ”

What he thought in his heart was that let Hou Xuanyan see the scriptures that could not be burned, and he was not happy to obey this worship of the Buddha and respect the Buddha.

Hou Xuanyan waved his hand and said, "No need, since it is a long-standing thing, it must be true." ”

The monks all showed joy, only the old monk still looked like a calm monk.

Hou Xuanyan then asked: "It is really a miracle that paper does not burn when it encounters fire. Then you say, is this because of the material of the scriptures, or is it because of the power of the contents of the scriptures? ”

The old monk smiled and said, "Naturally, it is the manifestation of the scriptures left by the Buddha. ”

"Okay, the Diamond Sutra is a Buddhist treasure, and I think everyone will recite it?"

The monks didn't know what they meant, and they all nodded.

Hou Xuanyan said with a smile: "People are the primates of all things, and paper is a dead thing. Dead things can have such power because they are written in the scriptures, and even more so for people. We are all lay people here, but the masters have read the Buddhist scriptures, so let's ask the masters to perform for us. Come on, make a fire! ”

The monks were shocked, knowing that they couldn't be good, and they no longer wanted to pretend. The old monk at the head showed a hideous look and shouted: "Someone destroys my Buddhism, and all the disciples will go out with me." ”

The monks picked up their sticks and rushed over with a scream. Hou Xuanyan sneered, stepped back, and a neat row of archers poured out behind him.

To Hou Xuanyan's surprise, these monks were not afraid of death, and the rain of arrows took the lives of dozens of people in front of them, and the other monks rushed to the front in a blink of an eye.

Yang Shu escorted Hou Xuanyan to retreat to the mountain gate, looking at the fight in front of the hall, Hou Xuanyan's eyes gradually became solemn. These monks are ruthless and vicious, like a group of bandits who do everything.

The old monk headed by him was even more unstoppable, with many tigers and tigers in one move, and the catchers and guards who were hit by him all fell to the ground and wailed, losing their combat effectiveness.

Yang Shu walked the rivers and lakes in his early years, saw a lot of knowledge, and said in a deep voice: "Young Master, I think most of these thieves are bald, most of them are doves occupying the magpie's nest and becoming monks halfway. ”

"Let's catch it first, you go and help subdue this old thief."

Yang Qingshan was in the battle situation, and he only felt miserable, these monks were very handy in fighting, and they didn't look like Buddhist disciples at all. His brothers struggled harder and harder, and gradually became overwhelmed.

Fortunately, at this time, Yang Shu joined the battle, directly found the old monk, and fought with him.

The old monk didn't have time to take care of it, and although the other monks were also very vicious, the pressure on the catchers was more than half.

At this time, I only heard a strange cry outside the mountain gate. Xu Yuanbao led more than 1,000 soldiers to surround Hanshan Temple and kill them in the temple. He carried a mace, wore soft armor, and wore a red scarf on his head. In this ancient temple, it is a little similar to a few angry King Kong at the mountain gate.

"Big brother, do you want to live or die?"

Before Hou Xuanyan could speak, the old monk's shout came from the center of the hall gate.

The old monk was also single, and when he saw that the disparity between the enemy and us was getting bigger and bigger, he simply raised his weapon above his head and shouted: "Don't fight, don't fight, we have surrendered." ”

Hong Yixun, who was mixed in the crowd and was happily preparing to fight, looked at them with a sympathetic expression.

Dare to surrender to the eldest brother, you really haven't died...
