In the north of Qiongcheng City, not far from Qiongzhou Academy, there is a White Lotus Temple. This temple is said to be the Sui Dynasty when the local good people of Qiongzhou in the dream of the Xuanzhong Temple in Wenshui Shibi Temple, and listened to the two ancestors of the Pure Land Sect, and the actual founder of the monk Taoist preaching, was inspired to donate funds to build.

Master Dao Xuan is still alive now, but the good man who dreamed of himself has passed away, and it is impossible for others to know whether it is really true. The White Lotus Temple was left here, because the Pure Land method of "chanting Buddha by mouth" was too convenient, and it accumulated a very broad base of believers in the past few decades.

After all, if the Dharma is too complicated, most people probably won't spend the precious energy of this life on the ethereal transcendence of future lives. What's more, for most of the Tang people who need to cultivate a hundred acres of land, there is no such idle time.

Although the White Lotus Temple has a large number of believers, there are few sanghanas, which is also the result of the deliberate control of the monks such as the abbot of the temple. They enjoyed a large number of worshippers while strictly restricting the sale of the degree of mussels, and they were very far-sighted.

Isn't this one more monk with more mouths? What's more, it's not worth it to involve outsiders in order to save this little money. The White Lotus Temple has a good reputation in Qiongzhou, not because the monks are amiable, but because they run the largest "Sadness Field Nursing Workshop" in Qiongzhou.

The Beitian Nursing Workshop was originally set up by the government and operated by monks and Taoists to provide social welfare for monks and nuns who returned to the laity. However, the White Lotus Temple went relatively far ahead, not only did they complete their own work, but also took in disabled beggars and orphans in excess of the quota.

And the orphans who lost their parents should be good or good, and who will the Yongye land they get after the age of eighteen go? On the surface, the White Lotus Temple does not have much land, and it is really not like it has been annexed by this means since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.

However, the orphans who have gone out of here will know from the monks in charge of the sanatorium that their living support is neither from the government nor from the White Lotus Temple, but from some unnamed great benevolent people. Since it is a loan, it has to be repaid, such as taking Yongye Tian to repay.

At this time, the abbot behind the Daxiong Treasure Hall of the White Lotus Temple was more than one zhang square in size, and there was no abbot living there, but there was such a great benevolent person who did not want to be named.

"Sect Master, should the Golden Lap Festival that was scheduled to be held at Izumokan still be held tonight?" Under the seat of the great benevolent man, the left envoy of the Guardian Feng Danla peeked at him with his eyes, and his tone was a little panicked.

"Huh? Oh oh......" After not closing his eyes all night, Rocha felt a little dazed, and even a simple question from his subordinates had to be delayed for a while to understand the meaning.

Last night, the Turtle Sect dispatched four Dharma protectors, two incense masters, and two deacons to directly participate, thinking that the plan was thorough, but the treasure theft task that was captured in hand overturned inexplicably.

Except for one deacon and one incense master who were used to receive them, the four highest-ranking Dharma protectors on this trip were all wiped out. The deacon sent to Liujia Village to investigate, but only said that Liushun's family had gone to the empty building, and did not leave any clues except for the nearby villagers who said that Liushun's daughter-in-law had made a strange scream last night.

The four Dharma protectors are all hob meat with a case record, and they are also his henchmen, such a loss is something that Sect Leader Luo Cha never expected. However, what could give him a little comfort was that the owner of Shifanglou and Na Baoqin did not choose to report to the official for some reason!

"Perhaps...... The way those two pianos came from is not very clean in itself? Yes, such a heavy treasure, I'm afraid you have to get it from the mausoleum of a generation of emperors. Luo Cha treated others with himself, and felt that the other party did not dare to speak out, probably because the stolen things were dirty in the first place.

However, this matter has already made a big fuss, even if the other party did not report to the official, it is not something that can be simply covered up, and the Turtle Worship Sect has no future at all. Originally, I had planned to hold a few more pujas and sell more money before I could get out of the way, but now I am afraid that I will have to abandon those burdens in advance......

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has listed adultery as an unforgivable felony along with the ten evils, thieves, counterfeits, and bribes. Although the Turtle Worship Sect is only to deceive money, its means are not just private divination, but the impersonation of Shu Hui directly as a god to deceive, and the consequences will shake the agricultural foundation of Qiongzhou - this is the vain Zoroastrian [xiān] words, according to the law should be hanged! (Note 1)

With a plan in mind, Luo Cha pretended to calmly his orchid finger and brushed the mustache on his lips, and said inscrutablely: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about this matter, the festival will be held as usual." ”

Seeing that Feng Danla was a little hesitant, Luo Cha had to reveal a little "hidden secret": "They don't dare to report to the official, I can hold the handle in my hand that can kill people." ”

Seeing that the sect leader's self-confidence did not seem to be a hypocrisy, Feng Danla's heart was slightly relieved, and he was ordered to go down to organize this festival. Rocha wasn't worried that he would get upset when he saw that things were not going well. As the left envoy of the apologetic, Feng Danla's assets in the sect also have about 300 guan, but he took up to 34 guan in a hurry, and he must be reluctant.

These lonely subordinates or monks who partner with them halfway are reluctant, and how can Luo Cha, who has been running in the White Lotus Temple for two generations, be reluctant? It's just that since you have come this far, you can't choose by yourself, and the road ahead is already doomed.

Thankfully, Rocha had planned to suddenly disappear when the last few villages remained. It's only a little early, but it's not too long, and the secret preparation is soft enough for him to run away. Go to the country of Tami or Tuyuhun, marry a native and settle down, and in a few years you can change your face and come back.

"Master, is there anything troublesome? I didn't come last night, and the slaves and maids waited so hard. As soon as Fontara's departure, a charming young woman pushed the door open and entered. Seeing Luo Cha, Wen Xiang Nephrite suddenly threw herself into his arms, and raised her little face from his chest and said coquettishly.

Luo Cha stroked the black and shiny hair of the woman in his arms, his face was a little doting, but he was tormented in his heart whether to take her with him. The appearance of this woman is not comparable to those village girls who were deceived from the villagers' homes to be prostitutes in the religion, but they are Luo Cha's right-hand man who has been cultivated since he was a child and helps him win people's hearts and socialize, and of course, he is also a concubine who has not officially passed the door.

The White Lotus Temple takes in orphans, and the men can get a share of the land, but the women are sent to other "great good people" to "voluntarily" serve as slaves and maids to repay their kindness. Although nominally still a good person, it is not much different from a real slave.

"It's okay, Wanwan." Rocha decided to set off as soon as possible, and with the somewhat hasty preparations he was currently hastily making, many people would have more trouble than they could have anticipated. And going abroad, with such a bewitching woman, is too risky and not worth it.

"It's just that I drank two more cups of tea with Daochang Wu last night, and I came back late, so I'll teach you a good lesson now, little goblin......" Luo Cha pinched her tender waist with relief, causing Miaoren to giggle in his arms, and her delicate body seemed to quickly forget the topic just now.

It's just that although the face is full of spring, there is clearly no water in those beautiful eyes, and the delicate corners of the mouth that are gently panting seem to evoke a trace of mockery......

Note 1: The Zoroastrian prophecies are all kinds of apocryphal scriptures, and the other is the so-called oracle prophecy. At that time, the Apocrypha is still regarded as a classic by some sects, and I am not good at giving examples, so I can only use similar examples to illustrate.

For example, the "Tui Bei Tu", which began to be made in the Five Dynasties and continued to the Republic of China, is a "book", which records various prophecies for changing dynasties, although there is no pseudo-trust in the name of gods and Buddhas, but the content is also a proverb.
