Nothing to say for a night.

When I woke up the next day, some people had sore feet, after all, not everyone was used to walking.

It is still the fourth watch to make rice, and the fifth watch to go on the road.

At first, it was fine, but when the sun came up, some people complained.

During the lunch break, Yang Chun said to Shi Jin: "If you go down like this, I'm afraid someone will escape." ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "If you want to leave, we won't force us to stay, but I'm afraid that everyone will go slower and slower, so we have to think of a way." ”

Yang Chun frowned and said, "Brother adds an extra meal to them every day, so that they can eat good wine and meat, what else?" Is it possible to send them money every day? ”

Shi Jin frowned and said with a smile: "Good idea, then send some money." ”

Shi Zhu on the side couldn't help but say: "Brother, you have more than 4,000 guan left, and you will get nearly 100 guan to buy wine and meat every day. ”

Shi Jin knocked on his little guy's head and said with a smile: "Stupid, won't we send other people's money?" ”

When Shi Zhu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Is my brother going to fight corrupt officials and inferior gentry?" ”

Shi Jin shook his head and said, "No, it is inevitable to lose my brother when I hit the village." In the afternoon, we will find a larger temple and Taoist temple, spend the night there, and share some incense money by the way. ”

He does not believe in gods and Buddhas, and he is even more disgusted with these people who do not produce, do not serve labor, and defraud the people's hard-earned money in the name of gods and Buddhas.

Yang Chun said with a smile: "My brother chose a good fat sheep, those temples are so rich, if there is a temple with strong incense near Shaohua Mountain, we will not be so poor." ”

There are not many people in Shaohua Mountain who believe in gods and Buddhas, there were people who believed in gods and Buddhas before, and no one believed in them after they went to Shaohua Mountain, and no one wanted to have eighteen layers of hell waiting for them after death.

After they fell to the grass in Shaohua Mountain, they naturally did not discuss what fat sheep there are in this world.

In addition to officials and large households, it is a temple and Taoist temple with strong incense.

These monks do not produce, but they can cheat a lot of incense money, and then the monastery will lend it to the surrounding people to earn interest.

When Lu Zhishen became a monk in Wutai Mountain, the houses and capital of the merchants in the market under the mountain were all in the temple, so he did not dare to sell wine to the monks in the temple to eat.

It is no wonder that the Song Dynasty wanted to sell the monks to the monks, the emperors of the Song Dynasty strictly controlled the number of monks, and only one person was allowed to become a monk where there were 100 monks, and a large number of monks could only be novices, and they were not really monks, so there was a market for them.

Those who do not have a degree to shave their degrees without permission will be punished if they are found.

Many temples have swindled incense money, and they will want to shave the novice in the temple to become a monk, so the price of the degree has gone all the way, and now the price of a degree is already 300 yuan.

When Luda became a monk, Zhao Yuanwai also had the five-flower degree that he bought earlier, so that Luda could be ordained a monk, otherwise Luda could only be a little novice.

Nowadays, the money printed by the imperial court has depreciated sharply, but it is hard currency, which can also be said to be a strange.

When the treasury was tight, the imperial court allocated some degrees to the localities and let the localities sell them for public use.

It can be said that temples with strong incense burners have accumulated more money than ordinary large households.

It's a pity that there are no big temples and Taoist temples near Shaohua Mountain.

However, there will be no shortage of temples and Taoist temples with strong incense on this road, in general, the world is still peaceful in these years, and many famous mountains and rivers have temples and Taoist temples.

In the afternoon, Shi Jin asked Tanma to find the temple and Taoist temple in front.

Everyone was lucky, and after walking for more than 20 miles, Tanma found a large temple.

Shi Jin heard that there was a temple, and immediately shouted: "Brothers, there is no need to camp tonight, let's go to Da Liang to divide the gold and silver." ”

After walking for a day, everyone who was very tired heard Shi Jin's words, and suddenly came to their senses.

Shi Jin said to Yang Chun: "You take the brother on horseback to rush first, don't let those bald donkeys escape, don't hurt the pilgrims." I'll take the rest of the group and go. ”

"Okay, the children on horseback came with me."

Yang Chun answered, and galloped away with the minions on horseback.

The people on foot also came to the footsteps, and after a while, they walked a few miles and came to a large temple on a hill.

From the wide road in front of the mountain, you can see that the temple is full of incense.

Shi Jin took the lead, led everyone to the front of the temple, flew off his horse, and walked into the temple.

Yang Chun had already led people to drive all the monks and novices in the temple together, and the pilgrims were also huddled together, looking at the strongmen with swords and guns around them in panic.

When Yang Chun saw Shi Jin coming, he came up happily and said with a smile: "Brother, this temple is not small, there must be a lot of oil and water." ”

"Well, blessed are the brothers."

Shi Jin smiled and walked in front of the monks.

The head of the courtyard saw that Shi Jin was the leader, so he made an inquiry and said, "Donor......"

Shi Jin waved his hand and said, "Don't call me a donor, we don't have the money to give to you, I want you to give some this time." ”

"Haha"

When all the minions heard Shi Jin's joke, they all laughed.

Seeing the strongmen around them so rude, the monks and pilgrims trembled with fright.

The master of the courtyard also guessed the intention of everyone, but he was not too panicked, and said: "On weekdays, the donors only give some incense money, most of them buy sesame oil to worship the Buddha, and they also have to repair the temple, so they really don't have much money." ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "The monks don't speak, so how much money is there in the temple?" ”

When the courtyard master heard Shi Jin say this, he was speechless for a moment.

On the side, Yang Chun shouted: "Bald donkey, my brother is asking." ”

The master of the courtyard looked at Yang Chun's fierce and evil appearance, and hurriedly said: "This temple is willing to give you a thousand heroes, please don't hurt the monks and pilgrims in the temple." ”

Shi Jin shook his head and said with a smile: "This guy really thinks we are here to make a fate." ”

Yang Chun also lost his patience, put Xueliang's waist knife on the old monk's neck, and said, "Bald donkey, when you don't answer my brother's words, I will send you to see the Buddha." ”

Feeling the chill on the blade, the old monk lost his composure, and said in a panic: "There should be more than 1,000 yuan in the temple, and the specific number of poor monks is unknown." ”

Shi Jin nodded and said, "Then please bring some of our brothers to move the money out." ”

The owner didn't say anything more, and took a team of minions to move money in the back.

After a short time, everyone came out with two large boxes, and one minion was holding a small box.

Shi Jin said: "Open." ”

The three minions open the chest.

The small chests contained scattered pieces of gold and silver, and the two large chests contained strings of copper coins.

Shi Jin looked at the courtyard master and smiled: "What about those big silvers?" ”

"Bald donkey, you dare to coax us, grandpa sent you to see the Buddha."

Yang Chun also reacted, scolded, and stretched out his hand to pull out the waist knife.

Seeing that Yang Chun was going to kill him, the courtyard master was immediately frightened and retreated.

Shi Jin held down Yang Chun's hand, looked at the old monk and said with a smile: "Money is something outside the body, as long as this temple is there, there will naturally be thousands of pilgrims to send it to you." To give you another chance, if you still can't let go of the money, I can only send you to the Buddha to learn the scriptures. ”

The master of the courtyard saw that Shi Jin was holding Yang Chun, only to feel that he had escaped death, and hurriedly confessed: "The poor monk is greedy, all good men come with me." ”

Shi Jin ordered another team of minions and followed the old monk to the back.

It didn't take much effort for a few minions to come out with three boxes.

Although the box was not as big as the previous three boxes, the minion who carried the box was full of excitement, and shouted from afar: "Brother, they are all fifty taels of silver ingots." ”

When the surrounding minions heard two boxes of fifty taels of silver ingots, their eyes lit up.

Shi Jin asked the minions to put the boxes on the ground and open them, the two boxes were already full, and the third box was also half full.

When Yang Chun saw this lot of silver, he also swallowed his saliva and asked, "How much silver?" ”

One of the minions said: "This monk said that one box is one thousand taels, and the small one counted the boxes that were not full, and there were also thirteen silver ingots." ”

Thirteen, that is, six hundred and fifty taels, two thousand six hundred and fifty taels of silver, five thousand three hundred cents, and more than a thousand cents of loose money, a total of more than six thousand cents, but not bad.

Shi Jin looked at the old monk and said, "The incense in the temple is very strong, it should be more than this silver, right?" ”

The old monk saw that Shi Jin still didn't give up, and said with a sad face: "The temple has to support so many monks, and it also has to buy a degree, and the cost is also very large. ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "I heard that some temples hide gold and silver in Buddha statues, and some Buddha statues are cast in gold and silver. ”

When the minions around heard Shi Jin say this, they immediately looked at the Buddha statue in the main hall behind them like hungry wolves.

The old monk looked at Shi Jin in astonishment, not knowing how this strongman knew these things.

Shi Jin actually just tried it casually, looking at the appearance of the old monk, he knew that the blind cat had met the dead mouse, and said with a smile: "If you take it out yourself, we won't touch those Buddha statues, otherwise we will have to smash them and take a look." Children aren't afraid of the Buddha, right? ”

Now everyone in Shaohua Mountain only has gold and silver in their eyes, how can they recognize any Buddha, and shout one by one: "Don't be afraid." ”

"Amitabha."

The old monk pronounced a Buddha horn and said, "Sin, sin." Please follow me to the main hall to get the remaining gold, and please don't insult the Buddha. ”

When the monks heard that the main monk of the temple was going to enter the main hall to get gold, they also looked at each other, obviously they did not know that the temple hid the gold in the main hall.

This time, Yang Chun personally brought two minions into the main hall with the old monk.

Not long after, Yang Chun came out with a handkerchief.

"Three hundred taels of garlic gold, when it wasn't for my brother's strength, I was almost coaxed by this bald donkey. I can't say that there is still gold in other temples, do you want the children to search for it? ”

The old monk who followed behind hurriedly said: "The monks don't speak, and the old monk can say in front of the Buddha that there is really no gold or silver in the temple." Please don't insult the Buddha anymore. ”

"Smack"

Yang Chun stretched out his hand and slapped the old monk's bald head, scolding: "Then if you hide the gold in the secret compartment of the Buddha statue, isn't it insulting the Buddha?" You bald donkey, you lied to me three times and twice, and you still said that you don't speak. ”

Shi Jin smiled: "It's almost, all the monks go to the main hall." We're just passing through here, we're going to spend the night, we're going to leave at dawn, and we're not going to hurt you. But when anyone wants to escape, Hugh blames the knife and gun for being ruthless. All the children listened, and those who dared to step out of the hall were killed. ”

"Yes."

The monks trembled into the main hall and sat on the ground to pray for the Buddha's blessing.

Yang Chun glanced at the dozens of pilgrims standing next to him and said, "What about these people?" ”

"A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life."

Dozens of pilgrims looked at Shi Jin, and the bold ones hurriedly begged for mercy, and the timid ones only trembled.

Shi Jin smiled: "Don't be afraid, we are not strongmen who rob houses." You will stay in the monastery for one night, and tomorrow we will leave, and you will go down the mountain by yourself. Find some rooms for them to rest. ”
