Someone said tremblingly, "Why are you drinking five or six here?" Are you a representative of the imperial court? ”

"Not bad." Li Xingchen looked at him, "I am the representative of the imperial court." ”

He didn't plan to tell them his identity, because he had other information to check, and revealing his identity would inevitably surprise them, and there was no need for the people to know his identity.

"I... I also heard that if you devote yourself to the Buddha, you can get everything, someone will give me food, and someone will repair our house. Whatever you want, if you are religious enough, you will have it, so we didn't build houses. ”

After hearing this explanation, Li Xingchen's heart gradually became clear that the development of things was driven by someone behind the scenes.

"Who told you?" Li Xingchen asked.

The culprits behind the scenes must be caught, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Everyone shook their heads, "I don't know, everyone does it anyway." ”

"If you don't find the person who said this first, the imperial court will never provide disaster relief in the future." Li Xingchen said coldly.

There was an uproar in the crowd, and a child raised his hand weakly, "I remember that it was the old abbot of the Buddha Temple who said it." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, that's him, and that's what he told me.

At that time, he said that as long as he prayed, the Buddha would arrange everything, including the imperial court, and the Buddha also arranged to distribute supplies to us!

There are even marching monks who come to advertise for a day..."

Slowly, the people spoke in unison, and they all pointed to the old abbot.

But the people did not lie, and some of the words were indeed said by the abbot.

At first, the people didn't believe it, but the imperial court really provided disaster relief and helped deal with the repair of the house, so they all believed it.

If you are dedicated to the Buddha, you will have everything, so why work hard?

Li Xingchen's face was like frost, and he said angrily: "Call all the bald donkeys in the Buddha Temple, and if you don't want to come, kill them!" ”

"Yes!"

The leader of the town guard did not dare to delay, and immediately led people there.

Li Xingchen still didn't let go of the grain, and looked at the people sitting on the ground.

At this moment, they stopped chanting the Buddha's name, and their eyes were flustered, and they were no longer confident that they could have everything by praying to God and worshiping the Buddha.

Li Xingchen sneered and roared: "Pray, pray to God and worship Buddha, why stop?" Go on!

What about the food that the gods and Buddhas have given them? Why hasn't it appeared in front of your eyes yet?

Oh, I know, it must be that you are not pious enough, continue to pray to the gods and Buddhas with snacks, and if you can't do it, kneel down and kowtow, knock blood to beg your respected gods and Buddhas to give you a bite to eat. ”

Li Xingchen was extremely disappointed in them, but it was a pity that it was the people of Dawei, otherwise he would have been killed with a knife.

Those people looked embarrassed, but their chests seemed to be holding their breath, and they continued to close their eyes and recite the Buddha's name again.

"Oh, if you're hungry and want to eat, go and get food in line. Those who sit on the ground continue to sit and pray to the gods and Buddhas! ”

These people who don't know what to do are just to make them afraid of them at one time, and to let them have a deep understanding that the gods and Buddhas can't let them fill their stomachs and repair their houses.

Maybe when they are dying of hunger, they will know the pain, they will regret it, and they will understand that the so-called gods and Buddhas will not save them.

Half an hour later, a group of bald donkeys from the Buddha Temple were forcibly brought in.

Because the officers and soldiers went out to bring people, they immediately attracted many people who burned incense and worshiped the Buddha and followed them together.

Originally, there were only a few thousand people at the scene, but now there are more than 10,000 people in total, and if there is an incident, it will be difficult for more than 1,000 soldiers at the scene to control the scene.

Seeing the abbot coming, the people sitting cross-legged stood up and cried.

"Abbot, as a representative of Buddhism, you must be the master of our suffering people!"

"Abbot, you are finally here, I have been praying for you to come soon, the Buddha heard my call and finally sent you over."

"Abbot, this person despises the Dharma and looks down on the Buddha, please inform the heavenly court quickly, and blast this evil demon to the top."

Everyone, you say a word, I say a word, the abbot has a rough idea, but his face is still indifferent as usual.

"Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful, you will calm your anger first, everything has its own certainty."

After comforting everyone, he walked towards Li Xingchen, "It turned out to be this donor." ”

The abbot smiled softly.

"How?" Li Xingchen twisted his eyebrows.

The old fox, who looks really like that, actually has a few pounds and a few taels, expressing doubts.

Everyone can have faith, and Buddha is also a kind of faith, but because of faith, it is wrong to lose oneself, lose one's roots, and turn people into no longer human.

The imperial court's disaster relief is the food allocation given by the imperial court for mercy to the people, which is the merit of the imperial court, and what does it have to do with the gods and Buddhas?

The old bald donkey attributed all this to the Buddha, which is wrong!

The abbot looked compassionate, "Donor, the old monk knows that you doubt the Dharma, but there is good and evil, right and wrong, things have always been two-sided, our Buddhism is like a light in the night, guiding the direction of the people who are confused and do not know the way forward, so they are not afraid of questioning." ”

"What do you mean?" Li Xingchen smiled angrily, "You want to say that what I questioned is unreasonable?" Or do you also want me to follow the lamp of Buddhism, the guidance of Buddhism, and don't have to do anything all day long, just waiting for others to come to help? ”

Looking at the old bald donkey's face, it seems that he wants to brainwash.

Suddenly, a white light flashed in Li Xingchen's mind, and a terrible thing came to mind.

Emperor Li Zhen believed in Buddhism, but fortunately he was not so mediocre as to promote Buddhism in the world and ordered the people to believe in Buddhism.

If Li Zhen had been mediocre once, the current Great Wei would probably be in the midst of everyone begging, what a terrible phenomenon this is...

Everyone thought that if they prayed to the Buddha sincerely, they would be able to have everything, and the final result would be that the country would be ruined, and the surrounding countries would break through the mountains and rivers, divide the country, and capture the people for labor.

The abbot shook his head, "The light is ahead, and those who are willing to accept guidance are destined people."

Of all things in the world, the spirited will make their own choices, and the spiritless who do not want to follow the guidance will not cross. ”

He looked at Li Xingchen with no sadness or joy.

Li Xingchen gritted his teeth in anger.

The old bald donkey, how can he feel that he is scolding himself for not having wisdom roots and spirituality, but this is still irrefutable.

Feeling the brainwashing ability of Buddhism for the first time, Li Xingchen laughed angrily.

"Oh, that's it, then I want to ask you something, why do these people follow the guidance of the Buddha's light and bow down sincerely, but the court doesn't give them a helping hand? And it won't help them in the future. ”

Pretending to be miscellaneous pieces, I want to see if your human skin contains the heart of the Buddha or the heart of the devil?

As soon as these words came out, the people who had not received food glared at Li Xingchen angrily.

"Abbot, this guy won't give us food."

"He also said that it is not the will of the Buddha to distribute food or rebuild our homes, and that our prayers are not pious enough."

"Abbot, you are a high-ranking monk, hurry up and open the hall, and let the Buddha reward us with a mouthful of food."
