When the people in the green forest heard the abbot's words, they had any reaction, but the most people scolded in their hearts, the treatment of this group of monks is too good, sitting on tens of thousands of acres of land (one hectare in the Tang Dynasty is fifty acres, and a thousand hectares is fifty thousand acres), and there is no need to pay grain taxes, as well as the land given by the royal family, no wonder so many people rush to be monks, although they are in the green forest, but they are enjoying the treatment of the state, such a good thing, who doesn't do it?

Bai Fan smiled, "The abbot misunderstood, this is the imperial court's decree on Buddhism, all monks in the Tang Dynasty are treated like this, although Shaolin Temple is a hero in troubled times, but after all, he is in Buddhism."

Your Majesty said, the exploits of the monks and soldiers back then, today we must not forget, thousands of monks and soldiers are also heroes of the Tang Dynasty, sitting in the mountains and forests to eat fasting and chanting Buddha is not a buried hero?

Now the Tang Dynasty is surrounded by enemies, and it is the time to employ people, so the Shaolin monks and soldiers, regardless of their age, all enlist in the army, and form a strong force of our Datang by the imperial court, specializing in dealing with the four Yi wolves and raising the prestige of our country.

As for the previous rewards and the like, it is the exclusive fief of this strong army, and the addition of 1,000 households of the monk army is a great preferential treatment. ”

Bai Fan painted a big pie like this, a dignified marquis turned out to be like a philistine businessman, this kind of style almost made the Shaolin abbot spew out a mouthful of old blood.

What do you envy? You are the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, envy a fart!

50,000 acres of land was originally Shaolin, in a word, although the land was saved, but our people were deceived into going to the battlefield, a thousand fiefdoms? Hehe, on average, there is less than one household per person, isn't this burying people?

"Master Hou, the monks and soldiers are already old, and they killed too much back then, and now they are chanting scriptures and eating fasting to eliminate bad karma, how can they pick up the butcher's knife and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy? Please forgive Shaolin Temple for not being able to do it. ”

Bai raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "So, do you Shaolin Temple don't want to serve the country?" When you take the country's rewards in vain and occupy the country's resources, and the people of the country need someone to stand up and protect you, you hide behind as a turtle with a shrunken head?

How can there be such a good thing? The development of Buddhism should be supervised by the state, and the monks should cultivate their own land and eat themselves, no different from the common people, and pay grain taxes as usual, so that the matter of joining the army can not be mentioned.

Or, as I just said, the monks and soldiers join the army, and Shaolin can participate in Buddhism with peace of mind, and your position as the leader of Buddhism will still not change. ”

Abbot Tan Zhi clasped his hands together and called out the Buddha's horn, and his voice couldn't help but be a little higher, "Lantian Hou, does the imperial court really want to work hard?" Shaolin Temple worked hard for King Qin back then, didn't it serve the country? Won't spreading it out chill the hearts of the people? ”

"Hahahaha, abbot, you and I know this matter in our hearts, according to what I said about the monks and soldiers back then, hello, I am good everyone, if you really have a lot of trouble with you, do you think Shaolin Temple can bear it?"

"Master Hou's move, thousands of monks and soldiers categorically can't accept it, you are insulting their honor, aren't you afraid that they will go to Chang'an to find Your Majesty for comment? After all, monks and soldiers are also Tang Dynasty veterans. Abbot Tan Zhi said in a deep voice.

"What? Threatening us? Ben Hou brought an army of 20,000, if you dare to refuse the decree of the imperial court and insist on occupying the mountain as the king, don't blame us for being polite. Bai Fan was a little annoyed.

At this time, the surrounding green forest people were dissatisfied, and they all opened their mouths to help the Shaolin Temple.

"Lantian Hou, Shaolin Temple belongs to the green forest, you lead a large army to threaten each other, is it moral?

The imperial court does not involve in the green forest, this is the traditional rule, and if you do this, we really can't stand idly by. An elder of the Emei faction spoke.

Bai Fan glanced back at the people in Shaolin, and many of them seemed to see Lu Lin helping, and the big stone in their hearts had been put down.

"It turns out that this is your Shaolin's plan, and the rules of Buddhism can't protect you, so use the green forest as protection? No wonder so many green forest colleagues gathered here today, it turned out to be premeditated. ”

Li Yuanba, who was behind him, pulled out the peerless sword behind his back.

shouted: "You guys rely on their identity and martial arts to dare to ignore the imperial court decrees? Look at this king for the country today! ”

As soon as the peerless sword came out, the atmosphere of the entire hall was suddenly different, and many Green Forest Sword Cultivators felt that their swords were trembling, as if they had seen something terrible.

Even the Shaolin Dharma Protector Elder, Master Huiming's eyebrows were raised, this Li Yuanba's high cultivation, coupled with this sword, actually made him feel a heartbeat.

Bai Fan waved his hand to stop Li Yuanba, and looked at Abbot Tan Zhi again, "Abbot, Ben Hou is here to perform official duties, I don't want to tear my face, Datang Green Forest had the grace to save my life Bai Fan back then, and I don't want to persecute too much, slaughter the green forest present, such an ungrateful thing, I Bai Fan can't do it."

As far as matters are concerned, Shaolin Temple is in Buddhism, and we must abide by the new rules of our Datang Buddhism.

You must have heard about the Wuchuan Temple, thinking of the reputation of Shaolin, Ben Hou advises you to think about it, so as not to tear your face, when Shaolin not only the temple can not be saved, but the reputation may not be saved, then it is a pity, it is also the ancestral court of the Tang Buddhism Zen sect, Bodhidharma's hard work. ”

Hearing this, the abbot of Tan Zhi's heart tightened, no one knew how many secrets of Shaolin Bai Fan had in his hands, but the unknown was the most terrifying, he only dared to guess more and did not dare to count less, after all, for so many years, how many black accounts Shaolin had, and he knew best.

Gradually, the sweat on Abbot Tanzhi's head came down, Bai Fan's two roads, there is no room for one, this is life is on the road to desperation!

"Amitabha, Lantian Hou, Shaolin dare not resist the law, but please also ask the court to remember the merits of the monks and soldiers, how about giving a glimmer of life?

Lao Wei didn't want to raise a sword soldier, and wanted to make a bet with Lantian Hou in accordance with the rules of the green forest? I don't know if Hou Ye may be accommodating? The old monk Huiming spoke, after all, only the abbot came forward, and he couldn't bear the power of Bai Fan.

Bai Fan nodded: "Since the master has spoken, Fan can't help but give face, so today's official matter, I will take it privately, even if it is for the sake of the green forest, it will be dealt with according to the rules of the green forest."

Where there are three people here, you Shaolin Temple draw the road, whether it is a heads-up or a group fight, we follow you, as long as you can drive the three of us down the mountain, not only Shaolin's affairs are carried by the Hou, but I can also ask His Majesty for a favor with the Buddha. ”

"Okay, Master Hou is righteous, such preferential concessions, this is giving me face in the green forest." The Crazy Knife Sect shouted.

The old monk Huiming had a bitter face, Bai Fan alone wanted all the high-level Shaolin to make a move, not to mention that there was a Li Yuanba, if the sword came out, how many casualties would Shaolin have.

"No, no, Hou Ye misunderstood, Hou Ye is the first in the world in martial arts, and the King of Chu is also the first good man in the Tang Dynasty, I am not an opponent, in Shaolin Temple, no one dares to reach out to you."

"It's okay, Qin can also fight on his behalf." Qin Shubao said, he pulled out the hero sword in his hand, and suddenly the golden light in the hall was released, and a rush of righteousness went straight to the sky.

Huiming was originally a little surprised when he heard that Qin Shubao should fight, because Qin Shubao was a top master, and he was confident that he could take him down, but as soon as this divine sword came out, looking at this momentum, it was no different from a peerless master, how could he fight? After all, he is more than a hundred years old, and he is not as young and strong as Qin Shubao, I am afraid that one mistake will break the whole temple.

"No, no, General Qin misunderstood, we don't want to do it with the three of us, but have other rules to ensure fairness and justice."
