Chapter Fifty-Three: Borrow Your Liver for Use
The subordinate went to the temple fair to buy incense and candles again, and took the opportunity to ask the stall owner strangely: "Boss, why is the temple fair dispersed so early this year?" β
The stall owner glanced at a few men sitting and drinking tea in the sun on the side, neatly packed the incense candles and handed them over: "Don't ask so much, provoke right and wrong." β
When the servant saw that they were all fierce and vicious, not good stubble, nor like ordinary ruffians, he turned back and whispered.
More things are better than less things, the old lady saw that it was not a character to provoke, and the stall owners were secretive and unwilling to say, so they urged them to hurry up the mountain, so as not to miss the time.
A group of people went straight up the mountain, but saw that in the past, the incense was full of incense, and the Fenglin Temple with an endless stream of pilgrims actually closed the middle gate today, and only the corner door entered and exited, and the pilgrims were obviously less, and there were very few. When they went out, they shook their heads and sighed, whispering in small voices.
A few people were surprised, and when they entered through the small door, the little novice who was sweeping in the yard turned around and saw him, trotted in surprise, and smiled at Noah: "Sister, why are you here?" β
It was the little novice who was talking to Noah in the kitchen that day.
Noya bent down and asked the little monk, "Why does your temple look so cold today?" There aren't many pilgrims either? β
When Xiao Shami heard this, he suddenly turned red with anger: "It's not a good thing that Li Mingzu's bastard did!" β
"Li Mingzu? Who is he? Noah asked curiously.
"No precepts, Hugh has to speak!" Before he could answer, he was stopped by a loud shout.
Noya turned his head and saw a smiling monk like white dough, hurrying towards them, the flesh on his stomach trembling with the rapid steps, it was the master of vain that he had seen in the kitchen that day.
He ran over in three steps and two steps, and made a Buddhist salute to the three of them: "I don't know if the old lady has arrived, I have lost my welcome, please eat tea and rest in the meditation room in the backyard." β
"Zen room?" The old lady was a little surprised: "We brought a new martyr's tablet over, and we have to bother the masters to settle the excess, don't you go to the treasure hall to incense and chant the Bodhisattva Buddha first?" β
Wuyu's face was slightly embarrassed: "Master, please deign to the backyard meditation room first, the treasure hall is now being repaired." β
How do you choose to repair at the end of the year and the beginning of the year? Besides, it's not the right time to freeze in this cold weather. There were indeed craftsmen at the door of the treasure hall, and the pilgrims paused at the door, peeked in, and did not bow, shook their heads and sighed and left.
Baili Jiu suddenly became suspicious: "What about the old monk?" β
"Master, his old man is in poor health today, and it is not convenient to meet guests, so please forgive me."
Baili Jiu heard the words without saying a word, and walked straight towards the treasure hall. There was no delusion that could not be stopped, so he stomped his feet and sighed, and followed him.
In the treasure hall, although it has been briefly rested, it is still full of messes. The statue of Shakyamuni Buddha in the center has a mottled golden body, a broken arm, and there are still traces of knife and axe cutting on the body. The statues next to them were all covered with red cloth, and it was obvious that they must have been destroyed.
When the old lady saw it, her face changed greatly, she walked in three or two steps, inspected a circle, and when she turned around, her voice was violent, and she scolded angrily: "What about the martyr's tablet that my Baili family enshrines in the main hall?!" β
"I'm sorry, old lady, it's the sin of the little temple." There is no shame in his face: "Actually, I was thinking that someone would send a message to the old lady, please ask for a martyr's tablet again." The original, was destroyed. β
"What?" The old lady was taken aback: "Who is so bold as to dare to destroy the tablet of my Great Chu loyal martyrs?!" β
After a while, he said: "Don't be angry, old lady, let's go to the room to drink a cup of tea, and I'll explain to you." β
The old lady was a little annoyed: "Where am I still in the mood to drink tea?" Who exactly? Hurry up and say, if you don't give me an explanation, I will definitely not give up! β
Unexpectedly, the old lady turned out to be also a hot temper, the first time Noya saw her so big and angry, full of coercion, directly shocked Wuxuan, and did not dare to raise her head.
"Isn't it Li Mingzu?" Baili Jiu on the side asked in a deep voice.
Seeing that he couldn't prevaricate the past, he waved his hand and retreated from the busy craftsmen and monks in the hall, only then did he say "sin", and then tell the ins and outs of the matter.
"The cause of the incident was the temple fair at the foot of the mountain, and the dog legs under Li Mingzu saw that the temple fair was full of people coming and going, and it was a treasure of feng shui to make money, so he hit the idea here. About seven or eight days ago, someone was sent to the temple fair to ask the vendors for a high fee for the venue, and if they didn't give it, they were beaten and kicked out of the house.
The vendors above the temple fair are all small businesses to support their families, but they are just asking for food and clothing for the whole family, where are the many silver taels to pay the venue fees? When they all dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, when there was nothing to be done, they found someone to take the lead in going up the mountain to find the master, hoping to help persuade one or two.
The old man took pity on the misery of the people, so he pleaded with those wicked people, hoping to raise his noble hand, or collect less, and let him live. Those wicked people are arrogant and domineering, where can they listen to advice? At first, he was just scolding, and he didn't dare to do it.
Later, in desperation, the master ordered us to clear out the open space in front of the temple and allow those vendors to sell incense and candles at the entrance of the temple. Originally, those dogs were afraid of the reputation of Fenglin Temple, so they did not dare to go up the mountain to provoke, and when they saw that the master cut off their financial route, they were no longer polite, and even led a group of people to break up the mountain, and smashed it, even the Daxiong Treasure Hall did not let go, ruined the Buddha and the monks, the golden body of the Arhat, and couldn't help but say that they smashed the tablet of the great Chu heroes.
The master saw that the group of people had broken into the Mahavira Treasure Book viciously, disrespectful to the Buddha, stepped forward to stop him, and was also injured, and now he is recuperating in bed, so he closed the door to thank the guests. β
sighed after speaking, and couldn't help but stir the karmic fire.
"And then?" Noah couldn't wait to ask.
"Then we started to repair as soon as possible, temporarily stopped all the rituals, hoping to complete the repair before the year, and then go around next year to reshape the golden body of the Buddha."
"I mean, and then those people don't have anyone to take care of? Can the people at those temple fairs swallow their anger? Noya remembered the fierce faces of the people at the temple fair when he went up the mountain, and it must have been those wicked people who still refused to stop.
"Amitabha, now that we are mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, we are not able to protect ourselves, what can we do with those people?"
"It just doesn't make sense! There is such a lawless bully and bandit! Committing murder and dominating the market, and still at large, is there really no royal law? β
Silent and silent.
Noya's anger was even greater, and it became more and more intense: "That old monk who pretends to be profound on weekdays, and is full of lies under the guise of Pudu sentient beings, and now the real sentient beings are in trouble, what is his ability?" β
"That's it!" The old lady who had been silent on the side interrupted her coldly: "Noah, let's hand over our offerings to Master Wuyu." Since we are here, we will take a stick of incense and come back, which is not worth the trip. β
Noya was stunned, what does the old lady mean by this, is it possible that she is also planning to stand by and watch? When I heard that the tablet of the martyrs was smashed, I was so indignant, how could I dissipate my anger in an instant?
She was about to refute more, but was stopped by Bailijiu: "Okay, old lady, let's go now." β
After saying that, he couldn't help but pull her out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
"Why are you pulling me?" As soon as Nuoya went out, he asked angrily: "You don't want to take care of such idle things, right?" Don't dare to let others smash our martyr's tablet? Swallow your anger and let a bunch of gangsters ride on our heads! β
The more he talked, the more angry he became, and he hated to immediately run down the mountain to settle accounts with those men, kill them and extinguish the anger in his heart, but he hated that he didn't have a little bit of effort, and he had to waste his lips and tongues with Baili Jiu here.
"Such a fiery temperament, like a cannon fight, was I blind and picked you up as a treasure and married you into the mansion?" Baili Jiu didn't say a word, so he was scolded with his head and face, and naturally he didn't give in.
Noya jumped to her feet angrily: "You were blind at the beginning, Lao Tzu still married you, I didn't dislike it, you are embarrassed to say it!" β
What kind of fallacy is this? This woman is becoming more and more able to mess around, and Bailijiu is a little speechless to refute.
"Do you know who Li Mingzu is? Just yelling at me. β
"Who do I care about him? Could it be the king of heaven? β
Baili Jiu smiled: "He is not the king of heaven, but he may be in the future." He is the younger brother of the crown princess, the son-in-law of the Taishi Mansion, and the eldest brother of the future emperor. Can ordinary people have the guts to smash Fenglin Temple? He has always been arrogant and domineering, bullying men and women, and he has already been full of evil, and people are not surprised, so he didn't want to say much at first. β
"It's just a gentleman of the Taishi Mansion, and no one is in charge?"
Bailijiu said helplessly: "With the support of the prince behind him, who dares to pull out his beard?" β
Noya was even more surprised: "The crown prince is the future king of a country, if he protects and connives his own people like this, and does not distinguish between right and wrong, then how can he be a wise king in the future?" β
Bailijiu hurriedly covered her mouth: "Auntie, grandma, you dare to say such a rebellious thing?" β
Noya snorted angrily and knocked his hand off: "What's wrong with it, I still want to meet him for a while, so that I can teach him a lesson." Can you swallow this breath? β
Baili Jiu squinted at her: "Don't give the ninth master me trouble, the Taishi is in a high position in the court, and the protΓ©gΓ©s who have been promoted are all over the world, the prince behind him, the princess, and the queen, as soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, your papier-mΓ’chΓ© head can't be saved." β
This is indeed a problem, the old lady has to swallow her anger, and the characters who are afraid of her are indeed hitting the stone with an egg, and she can't do anything about it.
"It's a big deal, we can't do it in the open, and we can't come in the dark." Noah retreated.
"The Taishi Mansion is heavily guarded, and Li Mingzu's side is like a cloud, you first weigh your own catties." Bailijiu said disdainfully: "Besides, what problem can this solve?" He will definitely get worse when he recovers from his injuries. β
Lin Nuoya was suddenly a little dejected: "Such a bastard, full of evil, why didn't God split him and knock him down to the eighteenth layer of hell?" β
"It's a scourge that the king of Yama avoids." Baili Jiu was also quite helpless.
Noah smiled proudly: "Lend me your little liver, and I'll clean him up." β
