Chapter 34: What is a good man?
"Senior brother misunderstood, we are the monks of this temple, this temple used to be a very good residence of ten directions, the monks are also wide, and there are many granges, but a year ago the fat monk led the Taoist to control, drove away the monks, and the two did evil here, so that the temple was deserted."
"There is wasteland here in front and back, too far away from the yamen, these two people never go far to do evil, the officials and soldiers are unwilling to come, and they can't stop him at all."
The old monk explained.
"This sister, how did you get here?"
Sun Lei looked like a young woman again and asked.
"Two benefactors! The slave family is from the former village, the father of the family has gold, used to be the Tan Yue of this temple, died of illness last year, my husband is seriously ill these days, the slave family wants to go to the city to tie him up and catch a few pairs of medicine, but they ran into these two thieves, they tied them into the temple. ”
As she spoke, the young woman began to weep.
Hearing the woman's crying, Lu Zhishen was even more furious, and swung his whip harder.
"Brother, brother spare my life, we don't know Taishan with our eyes, we are also good men on the rivers and lakes, and I dare to ask my brother's surname and name."
Qiu Xiaoyi was hit in the nose by Sun Lei with a stick, the bridge of his nose was shattered, the nosebleed could not stop flowing, and he endured the pain and begged for mercy.
"The poor monk is the pig iron Buddha Cui Daocheng, and my brother spares his life."
Cui Daocheng was beaten with a staff in the shoulder, his bones were shattered, and he endured the pain and begged for mercy.
"Even you two dare to say that you are heroes, I will kill you!"
Lu Zhishen heard that these two guys wanted to be almost more angry, and they hit with their fists, Lu Zhishen's fists were not ordinary, the two who were already seriously injured were punched a few times, and they were directly killed with a roll of their eyes.
"It's cheap! Dare to be a good man like you! Sprinkle the family to see one and kill one! ”
Lu Zhishen was still angry, and looked at the two corpses viciously and said.
"I said, Master Lu, your compassion is really an eye-opener for me."
Sun Lei slapped his face and said, Lu Zhishen is full of compassion, but he is really ruthless when he kills people, fortunately, all the people he kills are evildoers.
After asking the old monk, there is a huge red pine forest near this clay pot temple as Qiu Xiaoyi said, stretching for dozens of miles, very remote, and there is no day of hard work.
After resting in the temple for the night, Sun Lei stood outside the clay pot temple with a torch early the next morning.
"Senior brother, you can't! This clay pot temple has been burning for decades! ”
The old monk knelt on the ground and begged Lu Zhishen.
"What are you doing if you don't burn it, can you keep the temple if you are old and frail? This temple has been occupied for a year and no one cares, it seems that it is not famous, and there is no master to follow, we must have strong people to occupy this place when we leave, are you so protective of not afraid of evil! ”
Sun Lei looked at the old monks, and when he heard that he was going to burn the temple and stubbornly die, he hugged the temple and said that he wanted to live and die together.
"Brother, I don't think it's going to be forgotten."
Lu Zhishen saw that the old monks knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and his heart was a little soft-hearted.
"What's the matter, don't the monks pay attention to the four major emptiness, so much attention to external objects, I think it is worse than the laity, and a few of you old monks sit back and watch the wicked do evil in the temple and do not stop it, but also evil is riddled with evil, and after death, I am afraid that I will go to the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot."
"It just so happened that I burned down the temple, and you went to die in the fire, and I will help you burn some sins, and surpass you!"
Sun Lei threw the torch, and the temple that had long been covered with fire-ignited objects burned up all of a sudden, and it was sunny during this time, and the temple was very dry, just a little bit.
The small remote temple of the clay pot temple is not taken care of by the big temple, all rely on passers-by to give, and now it is so dilapidated, even the incense is broken, and it is still a thief's den after not burning.
When those old monks saw that the temple was on fire, where did they dare to say anything to live and die with the temple, their pace was vigorous, and they ran faster than Lu Zhishen.
"These old things, they were crying and making trouble just now, and they will run fast."
Sun Lei looked at the old monks and said, last night Cui Daocheng and Qiu Xiaoyi's nest were all over, and sure enough, a lot of money was gathered, Sun Lei gave the woman some silver taels, let her go home and live a good life, and gave the old monk some silver taels to let them find a temple to place an order, the woman was very concerned about her husband, and went down the mountain in the morning, but the old monk took the money and did not let it be burned.
"Brother, the Sprinkle family thinks it's wrong, look at it, I kill people, you set fires, why are we like wicked people?"
Lu Zhishen touched his bald head and followed Sun Lei down the mountain, entered the red pine forest and looked back at the fire-lit clay pot temple.
"Then the monks and Taoist priests are wicked people."
Sun Lei asked Lu Zhishen, Lu Zhishen nodded, the monk and Taoist priest are wicked people.
"Then this clay pot temple is a thief's nest, let's kill the thief, take the thief's nest, and then burn it on fire, this is the behavior of a good man who eliminates violence and is good and does the right thing for heaven, right?"
Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen with a serious face and asked.
"Yes, this is a heroic act!"
Lu Zhishen nodded, led the horse and followed Sun Lei down the mountain to the red pine forest, today they were going through the red pine forest and headed to Taiyuan Mansion.
"By the way, Master Lu, since we are all heroes, then after sending the old woman to find her family, let's find a mountain to occupy the mountain as the king, I won't go to Tokyo, you don't go to any Daxiangguo Temple, I'll let you sit on the top of the mountain."
Sun Lei then talked to Lu Zhishen about new ideas, wouldn't it be uncomfortable for these two people to find a mountain to be the king, how can they do it by themselves without a foil?
"Why do you always think about falling into the grass, and you won't be able to go ashore after your innocent body falls into the grass."
Lu Zhishen glared at Sun Lei and said.
"What's this, we covered our faces when we robbed the road, when we were masked thieves, no one knew us, wait until we had enough on the mountain, and then go down the mountain, I promise that no one knows us."
Sun Lei is very strange, this is not a crime with a gold seal tattooed on his face, there is nothing that can't go ashore, he has many ways to hide his identity.
"Brother, you still go to Tokyo with the Sprinkle family, becoming a monk is the right way, your mind is really powerful, if I don't watch Baozhun become a Jiangyang thief."
Lu Zhishen stretched out his arm, grabbed Sun Lei's arm, and held it tightly, looking like he didn't let go of Sun Lei.
"Is this amazing? Thou hast been a magistrate for nothing? I didn't even study it carefully! ”
Sun Lei wanted to pull his hand out, but Lu Zhishen held it tightly and didn't let Sun Lei break free at all.
"Hmph, fortunately, the Sprinkle family didn't meet a Jiangyang thief like you when they were in Weizhou, otherwise the people of Weizhou don't know how many people would be poisoned by you!"
Lu Zhishen said righteously and awe-inspiringly, as if he had really caught the Jiangyang thief.
"What do you mean by being poisoned by me? Shouldn't a good man go up to the mountain to gather righteousness, rob the house, and then take out a little money to rob the rich and help the poor, and finally eat a big piece of meat and drink wine to divide the gold and silver, isn't this the life that a good man should live! ”
Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and said.
"Good man's behavior, how can you be so unbearable by you!"
Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Lei angrily, he likes to make friends with the heroes on the rivers and lakes the most, and admires the righteousness of the heroes the most, but those heroes were directly changed by Sun Lei's words, and the heroes have become robbers and thieves.
"Am I wrong? Don't all those so-called heroes do this? ”
Sun Lei is very unconvinced, dare to do it and don't let people say it?
