"This ......" In the face of Sun Ning's sudden request, several great monks showed surprised and surprised expressions.

Although monks should be kind to others and have compassion, it is obvious that this is just a lip service, and in reality, at least they will definitely not be able to do it.

Don't say that those arsonists were originally aimed at them, even if they committed other crimes, and the monks didn't want to come out to plead with the government for them.

Sun Ning naturally understood what they were thinking, and said with a smile: "Masters, please forgive me for being rude." Didn't you also say before, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter? Now that's dozens of lives, that's a lot of merit?

"And I believe that as long as the masters go to the government to intercede as victims, and they don't really cause a catastrophe and their crimes don't lead to death, the government will inevitably consider a light punishment, then it will really be a great merit."

Zhishan whispered the Buddha's name at this time: "Master Sun, you are merciful, and you don't want to kill more poor monks, etc., naturally you understand and admire, but they have made a big mistake after all, and the government has set a heavy sentence early. ”

"Yes, if such murderers cannot be punished severely, how can others be alerted? Buddhism is vast, but after all, it is only destined for people; Buddhism is compassionate, but there are also vajra angry eyes! Another monk, Zhixin, who was in charge of the precepts in the temple, spoke again, and his attitude was more resolute than the previous ones.

His bright attitude, and the others also nodded in approval.

Obviously, the monks of Yunlin Temple were actually eager to kill those fanatics, after all, the threat brought to them by the previous turmoil was too great.

Sun Ning was not in a hurry to refute, but listened to their words silently, and only said after a while: "What the masters are worried about is naturally reasonable, but I think that if you do something wrong, you should not only be punished, but also remedied.

"Take the matter in front of you, these people must have been deceived by the Xie clan and made a desperate move, or they themselves have been treated unfairly, and they are angry.

"Although Buddhism is highly respected by the people in Jiangnan and has done many things that benefit the people, it is inevitable that there will be people who do not know the inside story. They are just some of them, and there are many more hidden among millions. ”

His words were tactful, but several monks could understand them, and their faces were slightly heavy.

Indeed, there are countless people in Hangzhou who worship them, but in the same way, there are not a few people who hate them so much that they gnash their teeth, it's just that those small people don't have the courage and courage of Gu Yaohua and others.

That's why they want to use the power of the government to make an example of each other, and use the death of these people to scare other people who are ready to move.

Sun Ning glanced at them and continued: "As the saying goes, it is better to settle the knot, and now is an opportunity to untie the knot. Your temple can use the action of saving the lives of these people to tell everyone that Buddhism is true and kind to others, and Buddhism's compassion is by no means lip service.

In this way, as long as this matter is publicized, not only will the name of Yunlin Temple be more famous, but also the entire people in Jiangnan will know the broad virtue and compassion of Buddhism. I also hope that a few masters will think twice, the Buddha still has the great virtue of cutting meat to feed the eagle and feeding the tiger with his body, as a disciple of Buddhism, how can you forget compassion because of some grudges? ”

This time, the words were even more straightforward, and the expressions on the faces of the monks changed again.

If there is no benefit, the monks will naturally not intercede for their enemies, but now it seems that if they are spared, they can gain a good name for themselves, and this deal has been done.

Anyway, it's just a few small people who are fighting up, they can't make any waves at all, and they are already in prison, even if they don't kill, they will be arranged to serve hard labor in remote mines, which is actually no different from death.

Thinking about it this way, it would be better for your own family to spare their lives!

After thinking about the gains and losses, the abbot of Zhizhen smiled and said: "Master Sun is really compassionate, and the poor monk is really persuaded by you." ”

"Amitabha, although they are at fault, they are also dozens of lives after all, and they really shouldn't be killed like this. Then, according to the meaning of Lord Sun, tomorrow I will let people go to intercede with Lord Taishou, and be sure to spare their lives. Zhide also followed.

With these two people expressing their opinions, others naturally followed suit, and for them, the reputation of the temple and Buddhism was indeed more important than the export of evil spirits.

As a result, the matter was completely settled, which also relieved Xiao Qian, who was listening on the sidelines.

Next, they praised each other again, and then left Sun Ning and the others to have a meal in the temple, until the sun sank in the west, and then sent the two out of Yunlin Temple.

"Abbot, what kind of path do you say this person is, and is he friend or foe to us?"

Sending Sun Ning away, among the several monks standing in front of the temple with a smile, Zhide suddenly asked.

Zhiming pondered for a moment, and then said quietly: "I only see that this person's identity must be extraordinary, so I want to make friends a little." As for whether it is friend or foe, it depends on how he chooses next.

"But one thing is certain, in Hangzhou, if he dares to be our enemy, the Xie family is an example."

"Amitabha Buddha ......" Several other monks all chanted the Buddha in a low voice, and as for what it meant, only they themselves knew.

At the same time, Sun Ning and the others who went down the mountain road were also communicating in a whisper.

"They were really willing to come forward to save Gu Yaohua and the others, and they finally didn't get home." Xiao Qian glanced at Sun Ning with a smile, "But you still have to rely on Sun Lang to ......"

"I'm just trading a bigger favor for a smaller one. After all, it is not a real benefit for them to kill a few enemies, but it is different to live a few enemies, which is a real reputation and reputation. ”

Sun Ning said, and smiled again: "So it seems that such a choice makes them appear more greedy."

"One day, I'm going to make these insatiable guys pay......"

At the moment when he said this, the two of them moved forward with a pause, and then their bodies did not advance but retreated, and quickly retreated towards the rear.

And at the same time as they suddenly changed their movements, at the root of the tree in front of them, several thick ropes suddenly bounced up, and above their heads, a few people also fell quickly, and a large net was held by them, covering their bodies.

If Sun Ning and the others hadn't reacted first, they would have been trapped in the forest this time.

And after this blow missed, there was a continuous whistle in the forest, and dozens of men with various weapons poured out at once, and there was no Erhu, so they viciously pounced on the two!
