In the Jinguang Temple, everyone was silent, and everyone looked at the red-faced man in the field in a daze.

In the blink of an eye, this man had taken down seven or eight monks who had rushed forward empty-handed.

You must know that the monks in this temple are not simple characters, many people have seen blood on their hands, and when it comes to martial arts, they are far above ordinary people.

But with such a character, he can't even enter the body of the red-faced man, and he can't even hold up a single move of this person.

At this time, Guan Yu was standing in the center, and the bald monk lying on his side was lying on the ground, his eyes were half-open, his beard was open, and his murderous intent was exposed, and he was awe-inspiring in the eyes of everyone.

Zhao Shan sighed, and instead of looking at Guan Yu, he looked at the young man who was slashing at the Buddha statue, "Dare to be disrespectful to the Buddha, do you know how much of a sin this is!" If you provoke the Buddha and bring calamity, you will not be the only one who will suffer. At this time, I can't say that I can still intercede with the Buddha and forgive you for your sins this time. ”

Liu Bei, who was standing in front of the merit box with his hands in his sleeves and looking up at the belongings in the box, looked at Zhao Shan when he heard this, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Disaster to come?" I'm scared. I just heard that the presiding over the Dharma is profound, and I want to come to today's events, and the Buddha wants to give you a dream again. I can't say that in my dreams, I have to teach the method of presiding over the demon subjugation and demon elimination, and I am specially dealing with such demons. ”

He sneered, "Since there is a supreme law, why be afraid of the people in front of you?"

"Toast and don't eat and drink, my Buddha has the virtue of a good life, and today I will surrender to your demonic barrier." Zhao Shan snorted coldly, "Come out." ”

He had never read the so-called Dharma, but he was just using it as a name, and he didn't even believe in the Buddha Vajra.

For a person like him, the knife in his hand is far more reliable than the mud tire gold body.

Jinguang Temple is such a place to hide filth and dirt, naturally there will not only be seven or eight monks who were knocked down by Guan Yu in front of him, with this person shouting, there are twenty or thirty bald monks holding swords, pouring out from the main hall and the side halls.

Liu Bei frowned slightly, these people are naturally not Guan Yu's opponents, but the other party is so powerful that if it is injured in the hands of these people, it is really not worth it.

He glanced around, then laughed, "Slow down." ”

"What, can't you be afraid?" Zhao Shan smiled proudly.

At this time, he hid behind these monks, and was hugged by others, with a smug face.

What this person said just now is powerful, and now he is not afraid.

"Could it be that the host is not curious about my origins?" Liu Bei smiled and asked, "How dare you be so presumptuous in the Golden Light Temple." ”

Zhao Shan smiled coldly, his face was hideous, "I don't care who you are!" In this Beihai country, there has never been a character who has suppressed Lao Tzu. ”

He beckoned the monk in front of him to move.

At this moment, there was a shouting sound from not far away, and then two groups of people rushed up the mountain from the mountain gate.

One of them was lightly clothed and swords, and they were rangers under Shi A, who followed Liu Bei from Luoyang, and Jia Xu was urged by these people to embrace them.

The other group was dozens of officers and soldiers dressed in armor, and the leader was the lieutenant Shen Jun they had seen when they first came to Beihai that day.

Xu is pampered, and because he has not traveled far for a long time, he came up the mountain, Shen Jun first bent down and took a few breaths.

Zhao Shan and the others looked at Shen Jun with stunned expressions.

Lieutenant Shen Jun, he naturally recognized.

Lieutenant of the country, in charge of the military affairs of the country.

They have been able to run rampant in the country all these years, and this person is one of their political dependencies in the country.

At this time, Shen Jun had already eased up, looked up, and his face was gloomy.

He is also an old fox who has been in the officialdom for many years, and since Liu Bei sent someone to send him a letter inviting him to come here, he guessed that things were difficult to get right.

It turned out that after Liu Bei visited Changle that day, he sent letters to Shen Jun and Jia Xu, asking them to meet in the temple today.

"Shen Jun came just in time." Liu Bei said with a smile, "I just happened to talk to the host about the interesting things. ”

At this time, Shen Jun had already changed his complexion, and he also smiled: "I don't know what the prime minister has gained?"

"It's not much, but if the lieutenant is one step late, he will be subdued and demons will be destroyed." Liu Bei looked at Zhao Shan and the others who were distracted, and smiled kindly.

"The host of Jinguang Temple has always had a good reputation in the country, and it was just a misunderstanding to think about it." Shen Jun hesitated for a moment, but still defended Zhao Shan.

Jinguang Temple gives him a lot of "tribute" every year, and he is really reluctant to give it up like this, and he has military power in the country, and he doesn't believe that this new Beihai minister doesn't give him any face.

Liu Bei glanced at him and smiled, it is naturally not difficult to guess the mind of such a martial artist.

"I also know that the Dharma is profound, and I visited for a few days, and I heard from the villagers that it has not rained in the country this year. Since the Buddha in the temple has received incense over the years, it is better to ask the host to ask the Buddha to make a move or two, what does Shen Jun think? ”

Shen Jun was stunned for a moment, "Please ask the Buddha to make a move?" ”

"The presiding officer said that there are often Buddha's dreams, and I think the Buddha attaches great importance to the presiding, since this is the case, if the presiding officer has a request, the Buddha will be willing to help one or two." Liu Bei said with a smile.

At this time, Zhao Shan stood not far away, staring at the two of them, and now his life and death are no longer up to him, he can only see how the game between the two is.

Shen Jun felt that Liu Bei's words were extremely strange, and said in a deep voice: "How to ask for rain?"

Liu Bei laughed and turned his head to look at Zhao Shan, "Buddhism is boundless, and rain is just a trivial matter for the Buddha. I think it is better to tie the host to the pyre, chant and ask for rain, if it rains heavily, it will not be in vain for so many years in our country to worship. At that time, I will personally untie the presiding officer and kowtow in front of the Buddha to apologize. ”

He then sneered again, "If there has been no rain, it means that all these years of worship have been in vain, and the income from the offering has gone into the pockets of the people in the temple." Those who deceive the world and steal their fame are better than burning. ”

Shen Jun was speechless, and Zhao Shan was pale.

Neither of them thought that Liu Bei would be so vicious.

Shen Jun shouted in a low voice: "The prime minister has just taken office, is it too tyrannical to act like this!" Although Jun rarely reads, how is this different from Lutai? ”

Liu Bei shook his head and smiled, "Tyrannical? It's just a matter of giving back to the other in his own way. ”

Shen Jun still wanted to say more, but Liu Bei had no intention of talking to this person.

He said coldly: "Lieutenant must have forgotten! Bei is the minister of the Beihai country. ”

"Let me ask you, this land of the North Sea is still the world of the Han family!"

Shen Jun was speechless when he asked, even if they were not afraid of this person in the Beihai Kingdom, they still had to give this person enough face on this bright side.

"The lesson of the prime minister is that Jun Fang is rude." Shen Jun had no choice but to say in a deep voice.

Liu Bei nodded, his face softened, and he said with a smile: "Lieutenant Shen is also worried about Bei's reputation, and Bei knows it." It's just that you have to do things, and where you can take care of so much. ”

After appeasing Zhao Jun, he turned his head to look at Guan Yu, "Yun Chang, don't take down the host, and pile up the firewood pile higher for a while, so as not to make the Buddha can't see clearly." ”

"That's what my brother said." Guan Yu replied and stepped forward.

In this situation, the monks in the temple naturally did not dare to act rashly, and could only watch Guan Yu knock Zhao Shan to the ground.

"By the way, Yun Chang, don't forget to gag this person's mouth, don't let him say something that shouldn't be said."

Liu Bei looked at Shen Jun with a gloomy face and added with a smile.

………………

In the Jinguang Temple, at this time, the wooden pile has been erected, and a wide horizontal log has been erected on the wooden pile, Zhao Shan was tied to it, and a strip of cloth was tied to his mouth, and he couldn't speak, so he could only whimper.

Liu Bei and Shen Jun took out a few wooden benches from the main hall and sat in front of the wooden pile.

Guan Yu and Jia Xu stood together, and behind them were the rangers and officials who came with them.

Standing in the farthest distance are the villagers who go up the mountain to pay the incense money today.

It was noon, the sun was blazing in the sky, and the sun hanging in the sky seemed to be a huge furnace, scorching the earth.

"Wenhe, it stands to reason that it won't rain in this kind of weather, but if it rains...... Guan Yu said curiously.

"If it can't rain, Xuande will naturally have to count what he said." Jia Xu smiled, "If it can rain, Xuande will naturally not count what he said." ”

Guan Yu was stunned for a moment and nodded, it was indeed his brother's temperament.

It's just that he then frowned, "Fang Cai's Shen Jun's words also have some truth, if the elder brother wants to deal with this person, just kill him directly, and deal with it like this, and spread it, I am afraid that it will indeed leave a tyrannical name." ”

Jia Xu shook his head when he heard this, "It's naturally not impossible to deal with these people directly, but Xuande's move has other intentions." ”

He raised his hand and pointed at the villagers behind him who were hiding far away, their eyes full of panic, "What does Yun Chang think of these people?" ”

"A lonely and weak person is naturally extremely pitiful." Guan Yu said softly.

"Pathetic indeed." Jia Xu nodded, "It's just that where are they pitiful?"

Guan Yu was stunned again, "Naturally, I am pitiful and oppressive for Zhao Shan, and there is nowhere to sue." ”

On the surface, it seems so, but if you look closely, there are other reasons for it. I've also heard Xuande talk about Yun Chang's old things, Guan Yun Chang, who never escaped from his hometown in the past, how can he not be a person who is oppressed like them?"

Guan Yu was silent.

"You Guan Yun Changli can kill people, dare to kill." Jia Xu pointed to the villagers again, "It's just that what can they do?" ”

】

"Even if it is a docile sheep, when it is cornered, it will turn into a man-eating wolf." Jia Xu laughed, "It's just that people like them still need one thing." ”

Guan Yu already understood what Jia Xu meant at this time, and sighed, "Wenhe means religion. ”

"Yes, they don't dare to resist now, of course, they are afraid of the power of Zhao Shan and others, but there are some reasons why they are afraid of ghosts and gods."

"If someone penetrates into it with heresy at this time, I am afraid that these people will use it for their own sake." Jia Xu sighed.

On the way east, Liu Bei talked to him about religion, although he never lit the yellow scarf, but he was quite jealous of religion between words.

Although Jia Xu was wise, there were very few religions in Liangzhou, so he didn't understand why Liu Bei was so jealous of religion at that time.

It wasn't until he came up the mountain, saw the expressions of these villagers, and connected with Liu Bei's words before, that he understood the power of religion.

"The people may make it to themselves, but they cannot know it." Guan Yu suddenly remembered a sentence.

Jia Xu nodded, "It can also be said to be a cocoon." ”

At this time, Liu Bei was also turning his head to look at those villagers.

Yellow sky together, how can the millions of yellow scarves in Qingzhou all come from outside?

…………

Zhao Shan, who was tied to the standing log, kept struggling, and at this time, everyone's eyes were on him, as well as in the sky.

An hour later, the sky did not change.

The sun is just right, and there are no clouds.

"It's a pity." Liu Bei stood up and kicked the firewood on the ground, "The sky hasn't changed, and praying for rain can't be done." It seems that the Buddha did not attach so much importance to the presiding officer, and he was not willing to help even this small wish. The presiding officer said that I am a Buddha with compassion, but I don't know who this compassion has been given. ”

Zhao Shan stared at Liu Bei deadly, his eyes splitting.

"I think it must be because the Buddha thinks that we are not sincere enough, so he is unwilling to exert his magic power. In this case, the only way to ask the host to go there in person is to ask for a question or two. Since the Buddha has repeatedly dreamed of presiding over in the past, the presiding must be familiar with the way. Liu Bei smiled and picked up a piece of firewood from the ground.

"Prime Minister please think about it again, is it too tyrannical to act like this?" Shen Jun spoke again.

Just now Liu Bei asked Zhao Shan's mouth to be blocked, but he was also afraid that this person would bite others out in a hurry, so it was already a lot of face for him.

At this time, although Shen Jun pleaded for Zhao Shan again, it was just a casual remark.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "The notoriety has its own reserves, Lieutenant Shen doesn't need to worry."

Shen Jun stopped talking and took a few steps back.

Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he also had to go back to consult with Tanaka and the others.

Liu Bei ignited the firewood he had picked up from the ground in his hand, and he beckoned to Feng Xu, who had come to avenge today.

Feng Xu was helped to Liu Bei's side.

"Since you are here for revenge today, naturally you can't go back empty-handed like this." He handed the firewood into Feng Xu's hands, "All grievances must be avenged with your own hands, and I will give you this opportunity today." ”

Feng Xu didn't hesitate for a moment, took the burning firewood in Liu Bei's hand, and staggered towards the fire.

At this time, Zhao Shan's eyes were full of fear, and he whimpered and struggled to speak.

Feng Xu threw the torch on the pyre, and the entire pyre was immediately ignited by the firewood, and the flames suddenly rose, like a red python, climbing towards Zhao Shan, who was tied to the center.

Liu Bei took a few steps forward, stood side by side with Feng Xu, looked at Zhao Shan, who was already about to be devoured by the flames, and said with a smile: "If you are a person who has heard of Buddhism and is profound, if you are cremated, you can burn out the relics of the Buddhist family." This is a rare treasure. Presiding over the Dharma is profound, and I think it will definitely allow Bei to see the true appearance of the relics. ”

At this time, Zhao Shan was already entangled in flames, and the strip of cloth tied to his mouth was burned by the flames, he wailed in pain, cursed loudly, and stared at Liu Bei with dead eyes, full of resentment.

Liu Bei just smiled and shook his head, standing in place and staring at him until this person was completely consumed by the flames.

The flames gradually dissipated, and the person completely stopped moving in the flames.

Liu Bei took a few steps forward, glanced at the fire a few times, and sighed, "It's a pity that the relics have not been burned after all, and it seems that the Buddha's heart is not enough." ”

He kicked over the merit box in front of him, looked at the remaining bald monks in the temple, and said with a smile: "The host can't burn it, I don't know what about you?"
