The crackling sound didn't last long, but it woke up all the people within a radius of several miles. All the families ran out with torches, and the lights were blind, and only the sound of gunshots and shouts could be heard in the distance, and those who wanted to come to see the excitement were all frightened back. They all thought that the bandits had entered the village, but no, it was the bandits who had entered the temple to rob them!

The gunfire stopped completely, and it took a while for a few brave villagers to sneak in. With the help of the row of torches that the soldiers of the Renzi Battalion had just lit, they also saw clearly that these people were not bandits! There are still words on these clothes, and there is a big benevolent character on the back, which means that these people are officers and soldiers rather than bandits. They have also heard of the bandits in Funing County, and they have never had such a uniform military uniform.

Inside the temple, the work of counting the battlefield is almost done. The total number of bandits was one hundred and fifty-three, including three bandit leaders such as Old Hammer. However, in the battle just now, ninety-eight of the bandits were killed, thirty-three were disabled, and only twenty-two were intact. The old hammer head was beaten into a sieve by the soldiers of the sixth platoon, and the second master was beaten into a sieve by a machine gun, but there were still many gun holes on the body of the second master. The luck of the three masters was the best, Mao was not injured, and he was surrounded by four rows of soldiers, and he had to surrender!

The two companies of the Renzi battalion, Dong Biao and others who were surrounded outside the courtyard were not damaged at all, and they also killed the bandits who escaped from the temple. Those who attacked the front yard were killed by a sneak attack around the Vedic Temple, and then three more people were injured in the battle, and when they broke into the backyard to rescue a group of women, they were seriously injured and two were lightly injured, and after a battle, a total of two people were killed, four people were seriously injured, and two people were lightly injured, and the others were no longer damaged.

In the middle of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Zhang Renjie knelt down and bowed to the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha a few times. Originally, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods at all, but he came to this world inexplicably, and inexplicably he had a little awe of these ghosts and gods. Each of the smaller monasteries has a Mahavira Hall, which is the centerpiece of the entire monastery and a place where monks concentrate on their practice in the morning and evening. The main enshrinement in the hall is the Buddha statue of the Buddha Shakyamuni. Some enshrine three Buddha statues, such as the Daxiong Treasure Hall of the Great Buddha Temple in front of you.

There are three Buddha statues here, which represent the different worlds of the Central, Eastern, and Western worlds. The middle one is Shakyamuni Buddha in this world; On the left is the Medicine Master Liuli Light Buddha of the Oriental Pure Glass World, sitting on his knees, holding a bowl in his left hand, indicating nectar, and holding a pill in his right hand; On the right is Amitabha Buddha of the Western Elysium, sitting on his knees, his hands stacked on his feet, and there is a lotus platform in his palm, which means to attract sentient beings. Together, these three Buddhas are called "Heng Three Buddhas". There are also eighteen Arhat statues enshrined on both sides of the main hall, and behind the Buddha statues in the main hall, there are Bodhisattva statues sitting south to north. They are the statues of Manjushri, Fuxian, and Guanyin, Manjushri riding a lion, Fuxian riding a six-tusked white elephant, and Guanyin riding a dragon.

"There are a lot of pilgrims here? The Buddha hall is so magnificent, it is really an eye-opener, just gilding these Buddha statues, you will get a lot of silver! "Dong Biao was the last to enter the temple, and Zhang Renjie was in this Daxiong Treasure Hall, so he also found it. All the candles in the hall were lit, and the warriors were still holding a dozen torches on both sides, and the whole hall was lit up.

Zhang Renjie couldn't deny: "I have inquired a lot in the reconnaissance squad before, and there are indeed a lot of pilgrims, but it is not as rich as the Eang Temple." Presumably the old hammer did a lot of bad things, so spend more money to find the Buddha and the Bodhisattva to buy peace of mind! ”

"Cut, they just made all the Buddha statues out of pure gold, and the Buddha will not forgive them for these bandits who do all kinds of evil, and they will die in eighteen layers of hell, that's for sure." Wang Dashan, the leader of the platoon who came in with Dong Biao, looked at the bandit leader who had just been tied and kneeled on the ground with disgust, and at the same time was not relieved, and went up and kicked him.

"Battalion commander, the backyard has been cleaned up, except for a lot of food in the warehouse, there are some knives and guns, and the bandits' guns have been put away, there are few good goods, and there are not many bullets, counting a total of two boxes of more than 3,000 bullets." On the right side of the main hall, Zhang Youfa reported. The monastery was under control, and the bandits who did not die were captured, but it took a lot of effort to clean up the battlefield.

Not out of Zhang Renjie's expectations, these bandits generally do not put their belongings in the warehouse, and must find a safe place to hide them. Fortunately, one of the three masters did not die, and this matter will finally fall on this sturdy three masters! "Let the fighters continue their search, besides, I don't want to see these bandits. Especially this bandit leader, he must know more than others, I have taught you how to interrogate, you can see for yourself! ”

"Dong Biao! You go and settle the women who have been captured by the bandits, and then arrange for the soldiers of the first company to rest first, and then change shifts with the second company after dawn. I have something to do tomorrow morning! ”

"Yes!" Dong Biao was also relieved to hear that he could rest, this day has been on the road since yesterday day and afternoon, and he has traveled more than 60 miles at night, and the soldiers are tired enough.

It was less than half an hour before Dong Biao and Zhang Youfa went out, and Zhang Youfa returned with the three masters. "Battalion commander, are you asleep? You're going to have to move this place! ”

Zhang Renjie just put a few futons in the center of the hall side by side, and just squinted on them. "It's out?! Where are the things? ”

"Hehe, these guys can hide better than the Sea Dragon King, and the thing is right in front of you, Nuo, he said, just under this incense case, there is a secret compartment here!" Zhang Youfa pointed to the incense case in front of the Buddha and said.

The incense case is quite high, Zhang Renjie immediately squatted down, and knocked on the side wall of the pedestal that the incense case leaned on under the incense case, but he didn't feel the hollow part. He turned around: "Three masters, come on!" ”

"Hey, hey, right away, right away!" The hardship just now made him worse than death, and he really didn't want to go through it again. He didn't expect that the methods of this officer and soldier to interrogate people were all things he had never seen before, and he thought that he could carry it, but in fact he overestimated his endurance!

He approached, pointed to the pedestal behind the incense case, and said, "To open the secret door, you need to remove the incense case first, pry open the brick in the middle with a knife, and then you can see a pull ring." Find a rope to tie to the pull ring, and two people pull hard together, you can open the stone door in front of you, and what you want is right underneath. ”

"It's really an eye-opener, damn, this thing is so sturdy, no one points it out, it's really impossible to find it." Zhang Youfa used a dagger to pry open the brick in the center, and sure enough, he saw an iron pull ring. "Hehe, fortunately, I still have you, the third master! Otherwise, if we don't tear down all the temples, we won't even try to find what we want! ”

Zhang Renjie also saw the pull ring, and then said to Zhang Qishi beside him: "What are you doing in a daze, looking for a rope!" ”

Several people worked together to pull the small stone door open, and the hole could only accommodate one person at a time. Zhang Youfa was the first to enter the cave with a candlestick and a cat's waist, making sure that there was no problem inside, and then calling others in.

"I said that this monk doesn't like golden things, there is not much silver, all gold nuggets!" Zhang Youfa said in surprise.

The space in this dark compartment is only about ten square meters, surrounded by several layers of boxes, and the open space under your feet is a little crowded when only three people are standing. Zhang Youfa and Zhang Qishi looked at the gold and jewelry, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva again. This was the third time they had seen so much of the goods, but this time it didn't feel as much as the previous two times, first of all, the number of chests was not much.

"That's a lot of that!" Zhang Renjie said. "Roughly estimated, the things in here should be worth 100,000 taels of silver, far worse than the Sea Dragon King."

"Indeed, at this point, not even a third of the Sea Dragon King!" Zhang Qishi pouted and said.

Zhang Youfa rolled his eyes: "You've only lived a good life for a few days?" 100,000 taels are not in your eyes? 100,000 taels is a lot, this old hammer came out thirteen or fourteen years ago, and the Sea Dragon King has been passed down for three generations, can it be compared with others? Besides, the Sea Dragon King's side is close to the canal, and the merchant ships in the past are much older, and they have grabbed more silver. Didn't the battalion commander say that it would take a lot of gold to gild the Buddha statues above, and there would be a lot of 100,000 saved here! ”
