Chapter 645: Burning the Chicken Song Temple (II)

The sky-high fire of Jiming Temple has long been known to the whole city, so that the people of the whole city are in their eyes and shocked in their hearts.

Jiming Temple, this is the most famous Buddhist temple in Jinling, but at the beginning, thousands of believers went to the place of worship in the incense every day.

Many of their homes were destroyed, and the believers who were unable to ensure their safety could not care about anything else at this moment, and all of them spontaneously came towards the Jiming Temple.

They wanted to help put out the fire, they wanted to save this important place of Buddhism, and they even forgot the evil deeds of the Jiming Temple that were rumored before, and forgot that they had only made up their minds a few days ago and would not step into the Jiming Temple again.

But these good and foolish believers failed to fulfill their wishes.

They couldn't even get within five miles of Jiming Temple, because there were already a large number of officers and soldiers stationed there, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the temple area.

At the same time, some other parts of the city were already under the strict orders of the officials and the army, and the free movement of all the people was controlled.

Whether you're running away in a panic or trying to go home to find your loved ones, if you're caught up in a horde of officers and soldiers roaming the city, you'll be stopped and restrained, and then you'll be held hostage by the team at their behest until you're sent to a resettlement site.

If anyone dares to run away and resist under the orders of the officers and soldiers, he will inevitably be regarded as a rebel and killed on the spot.

After seeing a few unarmed companions being pierced by the spears of the officers and soldiers, a large number of people did not dare to have any other thoughts, and obediently followed the orders of the officers and soldiers into the resettlement sites, and then waited in fear for the dawn and for everything to calm down.

In this way, the fire of Jiming Temple is completely impossible to be interfered with, and it burns more and more fiercely, and soon the entire temple will be completely swallowed.

With the loud bang of the silent tower being burned down and toppled, the entire temple was completely turned into a fire ruin. I'm afraid how many people died in the fire is enough for the government to spend a month or two to count after the fact.

However, for the officials and soldiers around the temple now, this is not a problem that should be considered now. They are still busy rounding up the monks who are running around.

After hearing the sound of killing getting closer and closer, the thousands of monks who ran out of the monastery were even more panicked, just trying to flee outside with their heads bored.

They either smashed open the back door or climbed over the wall, hoping to get as far away from the dangerous temple as possible. As a result, when it came out, it collided with the officers and soldiers who had already surrounded them.

Under the shouts of several generals, the monks scurried like frightened rabbits. After seeing the miserable scene in the temple, these monks were so shocked that they had lost the ability to consider, and they were full of natural fear of the officials and soldiers, so after meeting, they never wanted to cooperate and be bound, but continued to run around the road.

As a result, this time it was really crooked.

Because of the limited number of troops, the number of officers and soldiers who need to surround the entire temple and set up in the rear is really not too much. If you have a certain deterrent power, you can still control the situation by making an example of others. But these monks who escaped from the wilderness didn't care about their safety, and they were all determined to run, even if there were people around them who were constantly shot and turned over......

So, under such a chaotic rush and escape, this line of defense was really broken open by this unarmed and panicked monk, allowing them to flee to the rear.

At this moment, Wei Yongke, the brigade commander guarding here, was dumbfounded, and immediately shouted an order: "Kill!" Even if you kill them all, you can't let them escape! ”

Who knows if there are a few key figures among these monks who have fled, and if they escape from their own defense lines, the consequences will not be something that a mere brigade commander can afford.

Under the orders of their own bosses, the officers and soldiers completely let go of their hands and feet.

Not only did the arrows rain down on the monks who were desperately fleeing in front, but there were also soldiers and horses chasing after them from behind, and they directly greeted the monks with spears and broadswords.

Another massacre ensued, and thousands of monks fell in a pool of blood in an instant.

The others finally felt their fear, and they were so frightened that they tripped over a stone on the road, fell down, and then knocked down the others around them......

In this way, after a chaotic pursuit and surroundment, they finally blocked all the monks. There may be a few fish that slipped through the net, but the vast majority of them were either killed on the spot, or finally gave up after being surrounded, and fell directly to the ground.

It was only at this time that these monks began to chant "Amitabha" and "Bodhisattva Blessing" there as if they remembered their identity...... But obviously, whether it is the Buddha or the Bodhisattva, it is difficult to protect themselves at this time, let alone bless them, the monks in the temple who are true or false.

At this time, another team quickly rushed out of the Jiming Temple, where there were still a large number of smoke and flames, which provoked all the soldiers to be stunned again, and their weapons and bows and arrows were quickly raised.

But immediately, Yan Hu's voice sounded from the front: "It's me, Yan Hu." What's the matter, have all the monks in this temple been intercepted? ”

As a general under Yan Hu, Wei Yong immediately recognized the voice of the main general, and after letting people step forward to illuminate it, he hurriedly stepped forward to see: "Your Majesty has seen General Yan...... Most of the monks who had just escaped were left behind, and only a few escaped by taking advantage of the chaos, which is my responsibility, and I ask the general to punish them! ”

After Yan Hu captured the key person who came down from the tower, he searched for a large area behind the temple, and by the way, he asked someone to set a fire and burned down the meditation room of the monastery - many of the belongings and other things were naturally cheaper than the soldiers along the way.

Because of this, he delayed for a long time, and only then did he catch up from behind.

And after listening to the reports of his subordinates and looking at the corpses all over the ground in front of him, he didn't care too much, just waved his hand: "A few fish that slipped through the net are just a few teeth." Holding the key leaders is the right thing. Ask a few monks to come and recognize the people, and see who we have taken this time. ”

At his command, several monks were pushed to the front, and they were forced to carefully identify the monk in his robe, who was also full of horror.

Immediately, a series of exclamations rang out: "Abbot ......"

"Master Keats ......"

When they saw someone staring at the monk Hongbei and shouting out the abbot, Yan Hu and other generals suddenly felt certain that this important person was captured alive, and their own errand was successfully completed.

And Hongbei and other monks reunited at this time, and their eyes showed deep regret and fear.

Who would have thought that the century-old Jiming Temple would end up with such a result?

At this time, the sky has been covered with a touch of fish belly white, the long night has passed, and in the temple in front, there is a rumbling sound one after another, that is, another batch of Zen buildings were destroyed by the fire.

Jiming Temple, it's completely finished......

Some people died, but not completely......
