After listening to the words of several Zen monks, he folded his hands and said: "In the next one, he was a monk of the Rinzai sect of the Ming Kingdom, who traveled east with his master, and stayed in Yanqing Temple. You don't have to panic, there is no intention to expel you below, you can rest assured that you will practice meditation, and you will not interfere in the matter of enlightenment! ”

After hearing this, the monks' faces did not fluctuate much, but they asked at the burning sky: "Lord Ran, do you want to accept the monks and soldiers to protect the temple?" After hearing this, Burning Sky said with a smile: "This is natural, and besides, there is still military service below." ”

After listening to the words of the burning sky, the monks smiled and said to the burning sky: "Your Excellency, then you won't bother much in the next place, and if you have a room, please take care of yourself, and I can live anywhere." So the five monks returned to the corridor in front of the house and meditated cross-legged in the corridor.

Seeing this, he was also a little at a loss, so he walked into a more ornate room, closed the door, turned to Azuchi Kojiro and asked, "Kojiro, what do these monks do on weekdays?" ”

After hearing this, Kojiro Azuchi said to the burning sky: "They usually work in the temple to learn Zen, and when someone in the village is sick, they go and ask them to go down the mountain for treatment, and after the healing, they only symbolically take two rice balls. ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky asked, "Do you know where the original books in the temple are now?" ”

After hearing this, Kojiro Azuchi shook his head and said to the burning sky: "Lord Hieiyama, I only help my father at home on weekdays, I really don't know what you asked!" ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky also smiled and said, "It's me who is worried, okay, you can go home quickly!" With that, he took out a half-hanging copper coin from his bag and handed it to Kojiro Azuchi. After Azuchi Kojiro saw the copper coin given by the burning air, he was obviously worried, and the right Ichisuke on the side said to him when he saw this: "Take it, senior brother's kindness, Azuchi-sama will not blame you." ”

After hearing this, Kojiro Azuchi hurriedly took the half-hanging copper coin with both hands, bowed to the burning sky and the right Ichisuke, and strode out of the house.

Burning Sky looked at the figure of Azuchi Kojiro leaving, and said to Right Ichisuke: "Let's ask Huiji Shamen for clarification, otherwise the funds for cultivating the temple will not be enough!" After hearing this, Ichisuke said, "Senior brother, when will the 100 Yongle Tongbao that His Royal Highness Oda rewarded you with arrive?" After hearing this, Burning Sky said with a smile: "When I need it, I will write to ask the young master to help transport it, okay, let's go, go and ask Huiji Shamen!" ”

After that, Burning Sky and the others walked out of the house and came to the front of Huiji and the others. Hui Ji and the others had finished meditating at this time and began to take out some books and read them. Seeing that the burning sky was coming, Hui Ji got up and greeted, "What do you want to ask me?" ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky did not hesitate and said directly: "There are many books in the temple, the geometry of the equipment, and the amount of money and food, I hope the master will tell me." ”

After hearing this, Hui Ji bowed his head and bowed, then turned around and walked to the bookcase, took out the locked account book and handed it to the burning air, and said to the burning air: "Since the commissioner is here, the account books in the temple will naturally be handed over to the commissioner; When we first arrived at the temple, Oda had already collected all the money and food in the temple, and only a few copies of the Myoho-renge-kyo and a number of tantric Buddhist books had been placed in the library of the temple, and the armament had ten pairs of Amitabha Buddha feet and twenty naginata swords, which should have been left for our self-defense, and only the temple remained. ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky asked Hui Ji: "You entered the temple in May of the second year of Yuangui, where is the food received by the temple for more than a year, and who cultivates the land?" ”

After listening to the words of the temple, Hui Ji said to the temple: "The land is cultivated by farmers near the temple, and there is not much surplus grain left from last year, and this year's grain and rice are not yet ripe. ”

After listening to Hui Ji's explanation, Burning Sky handed the account book to the right Ichisuke behind him, and said respectfully to Hui Ji: "Master, there is one more thing to ask for in the future!" ”

After hearing this, Hui Ji smiled and said, "If it is something that can be done in the future, I will definitely do my best in the future, please speak up!" ”

Burning Sky heard Hui Ji readily agree, so he said to Hui Ji: "I want to gather some Zen monks, I wonder if the master can help me with this?" ”

After listening to the words of the burning sky, Hui Ji bowed his head and came to the Buddha statue in the room without saying a word, as if after thinking for a few breaths, Hui Ji turned to the burning sky and said: "Lord Ran, this matter will be done with all the junior disciples in the next meeting, but now that the Zen method is declining, we may not be able to find the disciples of the past." ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky said with a smile: "The master does not only need to look for former disciples, but also to promote Zen Buddhism around and recruit disciples. ”

After listening to the words of the burning sky, Hui Ji said with a smile: "The master is also a disciple of the Zen Dharma, and the opportunity has already been glimpsed, and my senior brothers and sisters are no longer able to spread the Dharma everywhere, why don't you spread the Dharma and accept disciples..."

After hearing this, Burning Sky said with a smile: "The opportunity has not yet arrived, and we are looking for someone who is destined!" The matter of recruiting monks and soldiers has to worry about Master Lao! ”

Hui Chai nodded, then folded his hands and sat down again to study the Dharma. Burning Sky also left the room where they were practicing meditation with Youyisuke, and went to the armor room that Fang Cai Huiji said to inspect the quality of the weapons in it.

While walking, he observed Anyang Temple, and found that the temple itself was built according to the structure of the temple, and for a while he remembered the Kaima family who had fought side by side, and he didn't know how he was doing after his expedition to the shallow well. If the Haima family is here, Burning Sky can hand over the matter of repairing the temple to him. Thinking of this, Burning Sky suddenly thought that Fushiwa Akijiro was a disciple of Yoshioka-ryu, and he left Yokoyama at that time, and it was very likely that he returned to Kyoto to find his master.

It just so happens that the burning sky now has Zhixing, and it is more than enough to raise a samurai. So Burning Sky said to Youyisuke: "Follow me to Luo tomorrow!" After hearing this, Right Ichisuke was taken aback and asked at the burning sky, "Senior brother, what are you going to do?" After seeing the reaction of the right Ichisuke, Burning Sky immediately changed his words and said, "Come with me to Kyoto tomorrow!" After hearing this, Ichisuke said, "Yes! ”

After the two of them walked to the armory room, they inspected the remaining equipment, although it was not a brand new equipment, but it could be used normally with a little polishing and repair. After inspecting the equipment, Yakora and Ichisuke took the account book and map in their hands and inspected the temple leaders around Anyang Temple. Riding a horse and looking at the land that will belong to him in the future, the burning suddenly has a feeling of being an evil landlord and old wealth, but then this feeling is quickly forgotten by the burning sky.

After inspecting the temple leader, he took out the notice he had written a long time ago and pasted it on the dilapidated but still inhabited town under Anyangji Temple. And since most of the townspeople were illiterate, he read the contents of the notice to the townspeople. At the same time, Azuchi Maemon was invited to testify for him, and after the townspeople confirmed the identity of the Burning Void, they immediately knelt down and prostrated their heads, asking for the reduction of taxes (these taxes are collectively referred to as taxes in the text).

After hearing this, Burning Sky whispered to Azuchi Aemon, who was invited to the side, and asked, "What is the situation with the family's taxes?" ”

After hearing this, Azuchi Aemon said to the burning air: "The family is six out of ten, but because the former acting official took seven out of ten, the greedy ink tax was beheaded by the envoy of the lord, and the extra grain collected was directly confiscated, so now most of the town's families have begun to make a living by borrowing it." ”
