Fa Xiang left with a few monks, and just after they left, Tang Zhou gave Ma Qing a look and asked him to quietly follow and take a look. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

While Tang Zhou and Li Hu were hanging out in Qingfa Temple.

Qingfa Temple covers an area is not small, and the construction is quite large-scale, Tang Zhou and they wandered for a while and found that this Qingfa Temple is still very rich, not only each Buddha statue has a golden body, that is, other things in the temple, but also unusual things, all of them are expensive.

The temple is so rich, it can't be just the sesame oil money added by pilgrims, as far as Tang Zhou knows, the Tang Dynasty is very preferential to Taoist temples and temples, they can have their own land, and they don't have to pay taxes.

The reason for this regulation is mainly due to the fact that Taoist priests and monks do not have any occupation and do not work to make money, so they are exempted from taxes to reduce their pressure.

It's just that such a regulation by the imperial court has made these monasteries more and more intensified, they are richer than many ordinary people, and many times they eat better than the common people.

This situation lasted for a long time in the entire Tang Dynasty, but it was not particularly obvious at first, and it was not until the late Tang Dynasty that its seriousness was exposed.

This was very helpful in increasing the income of the imperial court.

Tang Zhou didn't know how profitable the monastery was before, but now it seems that being a monk is a very good career.

After strolling around the temple for a while, Fa Xiang hurriedly ran over again: "Little Hou Ye, there is a donor who just has something to go back, and he has vacated a side room, if Xiao Hou Ye does not dislike it, he can live." ”

"In this case, thank you Abbot."

The Dharma Prime Minister bowed his head, folded his hands, and said Amitabha Buddha before leaving.

As soon as Fa Xiang left, Ma Qing, who had been following Fa Xiang, came to Tang Zhou's side.

"What's the situation?"

"Little Marquis, this law seems to be fair and selfless, but in fact he is also a snob, do you know how this wing room was made? He used some means to force a pilgrim away, and it was really against the monk's principles to do this kind of thing in order to convince you. ”

Seeing that Faxiang was so hypocritical, Tang Zhou felt more and more that this Qingfa Temple was not clean, and said: "The disappearance of that woman is afraid that it has something to do with Qingfa Temple, but we will stay here for one night." ”

Li Hu and Ma Qing also felt that the Qingfa Temple was very problematic at this time, so they responded again and again.

In the evening, Tang Zhou and the others went back to the house to rest after eating fast, and before that, the Fa Xiang didn't bother Tang Zhou much.

After staying in the wing, Tang Zhou carefully inspected the wing, the wingroom here was extremely ordinary, and there was no luxury, that is, the bed here was very strange, not made of wood, but stone.

Tang Zhou was very surprised to see that the bed was made of stone, but it was just a bed, was it necessary to put so much effort into it?

Thinking of asking for a child here is the most effective, is it related to this bed?

But Tang Zhou has always been unbelievable in worshipping the Buddha and asking for a child, giving birth to a boy and a girl all depends on the chromosomes of the man, so that a woman can get pregnant and give birth to a child by sleeping here for one night?

Tang Zhou suddenly thought of the three words written by Feng Menglong in his previous life, one of which was a story about monks hiding filth and dirt in the temple, and their bed design was similar to this, could it be that this Qingfa Temple was the same?

Tang Zhou carefully inspected the stone bed, but he didn't notice anything from it, Tang Zhou frowned, and felt that it was very difficult.

The night was getting deeper, the weather suddenly became cold, even if it was covered with two quilts, it still felt very cold, Tang Zhou couldn't sleep on the bed over and over, and at this time, a figure suddenly flashed outside the window.

Seeing the figure, Tang Zhou immediately pretended to be asleep, and then saw two figures lying on the window.

"Are the people here sleeping?"

"Don't worry, let them sleep if they don't sleep."

As he spoke, he saw a person suddenly pierce the window paper, and then spit smoke inside, Tang Zhou saw that it was smoke, his heart sank, and he hurriedly held his breath, and the two people outside the window thought it was done, and quietly retreated.

The surroundings gradually quieted down, Tang Zhou got up from the bed and looked out, but the entire Qingfa Temple was surprisingly quiet, and there was nothing suspicious.

But just now, it was clear that someone wanted to stun them, and then they did bad things, but what bad things did they do?

By the moonlight, Tang Zhou quietly went out of the door, and then came to a nearby side room, where lived a woman begging for a child, Tang Zhou poked through the window paper and looked in, thinking that he could see the woman sleeping, but who knew that there was no one inside.

This made Tang Zhou very surprised, the woman was obviously sleeping in this room, but why was there no one?

Is there a mechanism in the bed?

But why didn't he find it?

Tang Zhou returned to his room, he carefully checked the bed in his room, but still did not find any mechanism, not even anything unusual.

But at this moment, he faintly heard some sounds through the stone bed, but he didn't know what the sound was.

But though he didn't know what it was, he was sure there was something wrong with the stone bed.

Perhaps, the two people just now were worried about what he heard from the stone bed, so they thought about stuning him, as soon as he thought of this, Tang Zhou's heart sank, and he was about to go to find the old bald donkey of Faxiang, but he suddenly realized that they were weak, and finally slowly calmed down again.

Of course, he can order someone to destroy the stone bed, but what if these monks make a move?

The cautious Tang Zhou decided to wait and see what happened and make plans tomorrow.

The night passed like this, and the next day Tang Zhou got up very late, and when he got up, the other women in the side room who were begging for children also got up, and these women had ruddy faces, good complexions, and some of them still had happy smiles on their faces.

But a few of them looked a little nervous, and they hurried out with their things, as if they didn't want to stay here for a moment.

After Tang Zhou saw these situations, he felt more and more that his guess was right, this Qingfa Temple was only afraid that it was a place to hide filth and dirt, and many women who came here to ask for children were trapped.

But thinking that he didn't have any evidence, Tang Zhou didn't act rashly, he decided to learn from Feng Menglong's method used by the official in Sanyan, and also find two dusty women to come here to leave a mark or two.

After making up his mind like this, Tang Zhou took Li Hu and Ma Qing away, and when Fa Xiang saw that Tang Zhou and the others were leaving, he hurriedly greeted him: "Did Master Tang Shi sleep well last night?" ”

Tang Zhou said: "Your temple is really a blessed place, Benhou has never slept as well as last night." ”

As soon as he heard this, Fa Xiang knew that the smoke had worked, and his heart was relieved, and he hurriedly said: "If this is the case, Master Tang should come to us often." ”

"Certainly, certainly......"
