Chapter 64: Retribution for Trapping the Monk?

Listening to the three words of the Buddha, the black line at the end of the first seat of Nawu and the abbot and the four first seats around him, some of the remaining monks were ignorant, and some did not know what to do.

"What are you doing with this?" Lotte snorted.

Xu Sanzhu was also stunned, and he asked Lotte for advice in the spirit of patting the horse's ass, how did it seem to have been slapped on the horse's hooves.

At that time, Buddhism was mainly divided into Mahayana, Hinayana and Tibetan Tantra, which is also composed of three parts of Lamaism, and the Buddha of Joy belonged to the deity of the Tibetan Buddhism sect.

There is a ghost in his heart, and this Satoru and the abbot are embarrassed.

In order to alleviate the atmosphere in front of him, Lotte looked at the cloth bag monk Maitreya in the Buddha hall, and remembered a couplet that he had written down when he visited a famous place in his previous life, and said shallowly: "Solve it all day long, laugh at the world, and have no game; All year round, he has a frank belly, and he sees his chest spilling, but he is superior. ”

Hearing Lotte chanting a couplet, the monks who followed behind Wu and the abbot had their own proficient pen and ink, and couldn't help but nod their heads.

The embarrassment on his face disappeared, and the abbot Wuhe nodded hurriedly: "Le Tanyue can even understand the truth of Buddhism, and his knowledge and insight are beyond the reach of idlers, which is really admirable to poor monks!" ”

Hearing his abbot say this, the monks behind him hurriedly praised him.

"The abbot master has lifted someone!" Lotte shook his head and said with a smile: "I saw that the abbot master was wearing a treasure, just like the Maitreya Buddha, and his big belly could accommodate the things of the world, so I opened my mouth to make this couplet!" ”

Lian Hu was ashamed, Wu and the abbot waved his hand and said: "How dare the poor monk compare with the Buddha, Le Tan is really tormenting the poor monk!" ”

"Kaiyuan Temple is the largest temple in my Runan, and the temple enshrines the Buddha's relics, the abbot must be a virtuous monk, Le's small two couplets, how can it not be worthy of the master!" Lotte said with a serious face, and then his eyes swept over the monks behind Wu and the abbot: "Do you think what you are saying is right?" ”

Listening to Lotte asking, which of the monks in the temple does not pat the sycophants of their abbot, and the sycophants are like a tide.

Wuhe hated and feared Lotte in his heart, but to be able to become the abbot of a temple, naturally he was also very deep in the city, and he hurriedly pushed the boat and said: "Since Le Tanyue said so, then the old man will hang this couplet of Le Tanyue in the Maitreya Palace, one is the self-reflection of the daily view, and the other is to let the believers of the world admire the literary brilliance of Le Tanyue!" ”

The sycophancy sounded again.

It wasn't until this time that Lotte finally figured out a truth, and dealing with monks and tricks was a truth. When interacting with a girl from a house, he can spread his fame by relying on some rouge songs; Communicate with the monks, and copy out a few couplets to show their high style.

The red dust and the green lantern ancient Buddha seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in the final analysis, they are both fame and fortune.

While speaking, Lotte and his entourage were invited to the tea room where the distinguished guests were entertained, and only the remaining sister Li Dutou was present by Lotte's side; On the side of the abbot sat the four first seats, and a monk served tea while talking.

Gently sipping the tea, Lotte Zhengse said: "Master Abbot, I came to disturb from afar, but in fact, it is on behalf of the county lord to ask for something in your temple!" ”

"The county is respected as a county parent, and the poor monk has also heard that Chen Xianzun has the reputation of Chen Qingtian in this county. The abbot of Wu and the abbot were kind and kind-eyed, with a modest look on his face.

Lotte then explained the intention: "Recently, the imperial court ordered all localities to build Futian Courtyard to support the orphaned and elderly, open Anjifang to provide medicine for the poor and needless, and the Salesian Bureau to support the orphans and the weak, and purchase the Leaky Garden to bury those who have no land to bury in the ground!" ”

Speaking of this, Lotte sighed: "Although I am a middle-class county, it is not a rich place, and the county government can't spend such a good deed that consumes money and food, so the county lord ordered me to come down and discuss with your temple, whether your temple is willing to support the county government!" ”

"Amitabha!" Wu He saluted, called the Dharma number, and said: "Buddhism is originally compassionate, how can the monks of Kaiyuan Temple endure the hunger and suffering of the people in this county!" ”

Just after Wuhe's voice fell, the first one sitting at the bottom said to Lotte Shili: "Le Tanyue, although my Kaiyuan Temple is full of incense, but the incense lamps and candles consume a lot every day, and the cost of repairing the temple to worship the Buddha is even greater!" ”

After the first voice fell, another head had disdain in his eyes, but he also praised the Buddha's name, saying: "This cloth seems to be full of incense, but this temple is also in remembrance of compassion, and it is given on festivals, especially in the year of famine, and the disciples of Buddhism are also poor!" ”

After the words of these two heads fell, the other two heads also stood up one after another, crying out with Lotte and pouring bitter water.

"Are you coming here unprepared?" Annoyed by what a few big monks said, Lotte raised his eyebrows, thinking that he would come today, just to walk down the form, symbolically bargaining with Wu and the bald donkey, but he didn't expect these monks to still plan to do nothing.

Then Lotte opened his mouth and said: "How many monks are under the name of Kaiyuan Temple, Le is clear in his heart, the temple occupies more, and the court tax is less, the master is well versed in Buddhism, and must know that everything has the truth that everything must be opposed!" ”

Lotte knew in his heart that what he said was a bit intimidating, and then began to explain the facts again: "I heard that there is a donation of monks in the temple, donating 100 acres can be the deacon in the temple, donating 200 acres can be the head of the hall, donating 500 acres can be the abbot, that is, donate less, I am afraid that the generation is longer than the ordinary disciples who have just entered the temple, and the temple has accumulated a lot of terada over the years!" ”

Listening to Lotte's words, the four heads knew that Lotte was prepared, and they also knew that Terada had encroached on the people's land too much, which affected the taxes of the government, and they knew the seriousness of the matter, and they no longer cried with Lotte, and they all set their eyes on the abbot Wuhe, waiting for the abbot's decision.

Lotte arched his hand to the sky, and began to pat himself on the back and said: "I am a gentleman of the official family, and the court does not compete with the people for profit, why do you this monk compete with the court for profit, don't you really think that the official family is weak?" Then Lotte changed his voice: "If the master can help the court to do good deeds today, it will naturally win a great reputation for your temple!" ”

When these monks heard that Lotte was here to ask for money, it was as if they had cut off their hearts, but Lotte's words were coercive and tempting, which also made the four leaders panic. What is the Word? Today's officials believe in Taoism and call themselves the emperor of Taoism, although there is no act of destroying the Buddha, but the life of Buddhism has not been easy these years, and now there is a threat in the words of Lotte.

"Amitabha!" The abbot who had been speechless for a long time enlightened and chanted the Buddha's name, and seemed to make considerable determination before he spoke: "My monks should be compassionate, to the common people, the Buddha also cut his arms to feed eagles, my Kaiyuan Temple for the Buddhist disciples although not as stoic and compassionate as the Buddha, but also willing to contribute food and efforts to help the court good governance, even if every day with bran vegetables to wrap the belly!" ”

"Good!" Lotte clapped his hands and said: "The master is worthy of being a high-ranking monk, and such a mind is really beyond the reach of ordinary people!" ”

Enlightenment and busy said ashamed.

Lotte couldn't help but feel complacent, this enlightenment and the great monk spoke, and the matter was basically done, and all that was left to discuss was the details.

Throughout the day, Lotte and Satoru and the two of you came and went, and finally finalized the details.

Before leaving, Wuhe pulled Lotte to no one's place and stuffed Lotte's official banknotes with hundreds of dollars, the meaning of which did not need to be explained.

Looking at the official money in his hand, Lotte estimated that he had given Lu Nong a lot of incense money before, and this business had not been lost.

Sheqiao Town stayed overnight for another night, and Le Tiancai rushed to Pingyu with Li Dutou and Lu Nong and others.

Back in Pingyu, Lotte ordered people to send Lu Nong to Shen Chan'er in Shuangqiao Lane to settle down, and rushed into the signing room in Chen Zhi County, Shi Li said: "Lord Yu, things are done!" ”

"What's going on?" Chen Zhixian still looks cold.

Lotte said with a smile: "If you go back to the eldest master, the errands of Futian Yuan, Salesian Bureau and Leaky Garden have been completed!" ”

"Tell me clearly!" Last time I was in Caizhou, I was asked by Shangguan how the errand was done, this matter has been bothering Chen Zhixian, although Chen Zhixian deliberately maintained his official authority in front of Lotte, but the joy in his eyes had already betrayed the thoughts in his heart.

Two lives, especially in this life, Lotte has already developed the ability to check the face and look at the face, looking at the appearance of the big man, you know that the big man has been happy in his heart. stepped forward and said: "That Kaiyuan Temple is willing to accept it, Futian Academy, Salesian Bureau, and Leaky Yuanhua Fee, but there is one condition!" ”

"On what terms?" Chen Zhixian asked.

Lotte said: "The Kaiyuan Temple covers a vast area, there are many monks, Wu and the abbot proposed to set up this Futian Temple, the Salesian Bureau and the Leaky Garden near the Kaiyuan Temple, and the subordinates also felt that this matter was very good, one to save the Yamen to build a house, and the other to save the money of the hired personnel!" ”

"That's a great way!" Chen Zhixian nodded.

Lotte then said: "As for this Anjifang, my subordinates think that it should be located near the county government to show the grace of the official family and the imperial court!" As he spoke, Lotte bowed his hand to the sky to show his respect for today's official family.

"Yes!" Chen Zhixian nodded again, looking at Lotte, but the joy in his eyes gradually dissipated, flashing a trace of incomprehension, and then his face changed slightly: "Why did you go there last time and get nothing, but this time you went and solved it easily, isn't it that the mage originally agreed, but you were tricky and deliberately exaggerated the difficulty in order to win the reward of the official?" ”

At the end, Chen Zhixian's tone was stern, and his face became a little gloomy.

Hearing this, Lotte was immediately like a thunderbolt from the sky, the whole person was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, seven meat and eight vegetables, did his own thing, and he was scolded without a reward, is this really unreasonable?

Could this be that he has pitted enlightenment and the old bald donkey, and the Buddha's retribution for punishing himself has come?

It's no wonder that Chen Zhixian was suspicious, the difficulty of this matter was too great to implement, and even in Lotte's previous statement, Chen Zhixian didn't feel any hope of success in this matter. Now it suddenly came true, Chen Zhixian was happy at the same time, but he began to have doubts in his heart, based on Lotte's last style of acting in the Qin family's private wine case, he inferred that such an opportunistic thing was still done.

Awakening from his state of confusion, Lotte shouted: "The villain has always done his best to do things for the big man, how dare he deceive the big man for half a point!" ”

"Then tell me to the official, what kind of means did you use to persuade Nawu and the abbot?" Chen Zhixian asked again, still not believing it.

Lotte was also entangled in his heart, the method he used was too obscene, and he even couldn't say it, so he had to say: "The method used by the villain is really a little dirty, and I am afraid that it will pollute the ears of the old man if I say it!" ”

"It's clear that you're talking about it!" Chen Zhixian snorted coldly again.

"I heard that the Salesian Bureau's errand has been completed, and the county can breathe a sigh of relief!" Just when Chen Zhixian was angry, Master Yan's voice came from outside the signing room.
