"Reshape the golden body", "accumulate virtue and do good, and after death, you will ascend to the Western Bliss", "If the benefactor accumulates a good karma today, he will be blessed in the future" and other words of karma may have been useful when they were first spoken, but later, no one believed them.

Most of the shops on the banks of the Haihe River are shrewd characters, and they know that the money they earn is the real thing, and who cares about this karma and misfortune.
When I saw the monks and nuns coming to the door, they were all unlucky, and then drove people out, and it was even more convenient to wait for Wang Tong's rules to come out, and say hello on the street, and immediately there were soldiers to arrest them.
In fact, there is no need for them to shout, the brocade guards patrolling the street will start to arrest them, but the one I saw today is indeed weird, and the shopkeeper actually sent it out politely.
That shop is a porcelain shop, and the owner and shopkeeper are all shrewd people, and they took the initiative to report to the officials to arrest a lot of fake monks and Taoists, but I don't know why they are so polite today.
The two soldiers patrolling the street glanced at each other, and they all quickened their pace to follow, and after the monk turned around, he glanced back at the two soldiers, nodded with a smile, and then strode forward again.
If it is an ordinary monk, he has already shouted and interrogated, but this monk is a little unusual, the monk's robe looks like a flutter, but the fabric workmanship is all on the top, the hundred hemp shoes and the cloth socks are not ordinary people can buy, and the black wooden stick in the hand is actually some carving.
And the demeanor and bearing are all calm and calm, not comparable to those tricks who pretend to be profound but are actually obscene, and the soldiers patrolling the streets don't dare to do anything for a while, so they can only follow behind.
The monks who seek wealth by the Haihe River wander the streets to the lively shops at the door, or see whose façade is more generous, but this one is different, walking on the street on the opposite side of the shops just casually, often avoiding pedestrians, but walking towards the center of the area.
The watchtower over there has been built, and there is a battalion of soldiers stationed there, and there are gongs, drums, whistles, flags, and fireworks on the watchtower, and guards are on duty day and night.
Dig deep into the foundation, make a deer and a seat with a large wood plastered with mortar, and then pile up the masonry outside, which is almost four stories high for ordinary houses, and I think I think it is a pagoda if I don't look closely.
A person who has been on the watchtower said that when he looked at the top floor of the watchtower, he could see everything clearly by the entire Haihe River.
The strange monk went down to the watchtower, walked around the edge of the allowed range, looked up at the top of the watchtower, looked back again, and at first had a smile on his face, but then he shook his head as he watched, and the smile on his face disappeared.
After looking at it for a while, the monk turned around and walked towards the Haihe River, and the brocade-clothed guards who followed him finally couldn't bear it anymore, walked a few steps quickly, and shouted loudly: "Then monk, stop!" ”
shouted twice, but the monk did not react, and the soldier ran to him, patted him on the shoulder, his tone was no longer polite, and shouted: "Monk, didn't you hear you called?" ”
Seeing the official messenger chasing and asking, the pedestrians on the road immediately dodged a garden out, and if the official errand here gathered around to see the excitement, it was possible to be taken away as an idler to do coolies, and after a few unlucky ghosts, everyone learned to be smart.
When he met the monk, the monk's hand was high, but he grabbed the wooden staff, but then calmed down and turned around, greeted respectfully and said: "Poor monk Daxin, I have seen two officials. "Monk, take a look at your Dumu.
The so-called degree is the identity document of the family members given by the government, because the possession of the degree can be exempted from tax and servitude, so the nuclear is very strict, and because of the efficiency of this tax exemption, the price in the city is also very high, so those who pretend to be monks and beg do not have this certificate.
What's more, in order to prevent counterfeiting, the government's degree is also quite exquisite, and ordinary people can't do it if they want to, so the truth of this family, take out the degree to see it.
This monk Daxin turned around and made the two brocade-clothed guards hesitate, in addition to his dark complexion, Daxin was also dignified, and his accent was also authentic Nanjing official dialect, such a person did not look like a liar.
And I heard that the question was asked, this big letter stretched out his hand and took it out in his arms, and the soldiers took it over, unfolded it and looked at it a few times, there is the Qing Army Hall and the old soldiers of the Jinyi Guard, where should they look, how to test the authenticity.
But after looking up and down a few times, there is nothing wrong with this degree, it is completely genuine, and when inspecting, another soldier stared at the monk and looked at it, if it was a liar and a gangster, he would have been frightened and showed his flaws, but this Daxin stood there indifferently and waited, without any weak heart. "What are you doing in Tianjinwei?" "The poor monk heard that Tianjin Wei gathered the world's business travelers and named the city on the ground, and such a strange scene must be seen with his own eyes, so he rushed over."
Hearing this, the guardiness of the soldiers relaxed a little, and the prosperity of Tianjin Wei attracted merchants and people begging for a living, but there were also many idlers who came to see this miraculous scene.
For example, the scholars and literati who came from the south by boat, the rich idlers from Henan, Shandong and Beizhili all came to see the scenery and the liveliness, and the restaurants inside and outside the Tianjin Acropolis, the Qinglou gambling house and all kinds of entertainment businesses have also opened a lot, and it is also a place to sell money.
Look at the monk's clothes, speech and bearing, all rich and noble models, maybe it is to come and play, in the system of Tianjin Wei, such people are welcome. The pawns glanced at each other again, and one of them handed the disk back with a smile, and said, "Please feel free, master, this inspection is a rule, don't be surprised." "It's okay, it's okay, the two officials do things according to the rules, so what's the matter.
Both sides were polite, greeted each other, and said goodbye to each other, and the two soldiers couldn't help but be discouraged at this time in order to catch the liar.
When the two soldiers of the brocade guards patrolled the street returned, they were always a little unwilling, and went to the porcelain shop where they were going to go again, and when they entered the door, they explained their intentions, and the shopkeeper of the porcelain shop said with a smile:
"The monk said that we Tianjin Wei ground is prosperous, ready to build a Buddhist temple nearby, ready to come to our store to buy some porcelain, and paid a fixed amount of five taels of silver, this monk is also talkative, probably just came to Tianjin Wei, ask the east and west, ask the east and the west ......."
Just asking, suddenly there was a sharp copper whistle sounded, the shop was stunned, the guys shouted and ran out, began to open the door and windows, some of the customers in the store stood there helplessly, some looked around at a loss, the shopkeeper shouted loudly:
"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, you can go out after a while, and please be considerate of the guest officers, if you don't close the door, you will be found by the officials, but you have to close the door and close the business, and you can rectify it.
While talking, it was a succession, everyone whispered, some unfamiliar, and they understood the rules of Tianjin Wei Xinli, not long after, listening to the sound of horses' hooves gradually approaching, and there was a suona sound, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, this temporary "exercise" passed.
When the monk Daxin heard the bronze whistle, he was still a little dazed, but a shop on the street saw him before closing, hesitated and beckoned him in, and explained while closing the door that the copper whistle was blown, and the pedestrians on the street would also enter the courtyard of the nearest house on the street.
When Daxin heard this, the color became a little ugly, and then he smiled bitterly there, and when the suona sounded, the monk thanked the shopkeeper and walked towards the river again.
On the way to the river, he saw the soldiers on the street, lined up by the river, some generals riding horses to observe, and some generals in front of the team loudly admonishing and commenting on the gathering of talents.
The monk's face was even more ugly, and he walked along the river, all the way to the east, but he saw that there were several boats larger than the sampan docked in the berths of the boats along the road, and the oilcloth cover on them was impermeable, and he heard the sailors who had just come out chanting: "These small boats have been parked there for more than ten days, and they don't know what to do, and they want to lift the tarpaulin to see and be scolded by the officials......
Daxin Shen observed by the river for a long time, shook his head at the end, and continued to walk east with a gloomy face, this distance is not close, almost when it is almost dark, he walked to the side of Haikou.
There were two lonely batteries here, and in a small bay were three flat-bottomed harmonic ships of three hundred and fifty branches, the draft of which was not very deep, but they were piled with goods, which were also tightly covered with tarpaulin.
Seeing these boats, the monk sighed and walked north along the seaside, where the beach was mostly sandy, and many boats that could not squeeze into the river were anchored and waited at the harbor of the beach.
Walking not far, a sampan in front of it is on the beach, several sailors are sitting there talking and laughing loudly, a glimpse of the monk coming, hurriedly greeted, several sailors are standing up, all of them are about to salute, the monk Daxin nodded, walked on the sampan, several sailors pushed the sampan into the sea.
The monk Dashin kept looking in the direction of the commercial area, and even though the seaside was some distance from the commercial area, the lantern hanging on the watchtower was still clearly visible, that is, the watchtower could also clearly see the seaside.
He sighed again, and several sailors did not dare to ask more, and pushed the sampan into the sea, such a sampan could not sail in the sea, and there should be a large ship waiting nearby, or go to a nearby anchorage.
The porcelain shop waited for a few days and did not wait for the layman to come again, and the goods prepared had to be sold to other families, and five taels of silver were ordered in vain, and the two soldiers did not mention it when they handed over. Tianjin Wei in mid-May, everything is as usual......
