And in this era, I am afraid that there are not many real monks, but the people who are abducted and deceived are a lot of them, and when are they still taking advantage of the fire to rob, how can they deceive others to save it, Qin Shou is unbearable now!

Temple Buddhism is prevalent in the Tang Dynasty, mainly because of Li Er and the eldest grandson queen, these two people, what is the nickname of the female Guanyin, and Li Er was chased and killed single-handedly, there was an eighteen monk stick who saved him.

And Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yong once destroyed the Buddha, known as the three or five demon extermination, at that time the Buddhist temples were rampant in the territory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and these monks are not easy to manage, these monks usually do not pay taxes, do not produce, just the gods and gods chant the scriptures there, and also wantonly annex the land.

Let many people choose to become monks, as long as they can recite a few verses of the scriptures can make money, who is willing to work hard, work, monks are not allowed to marry wives and have children, but you can do it secretly, do not let people find out, in the heyday of Buddhist monks there were actually two million people, more than 30,000 sitting in temples.

Originally, there were more than 30 million people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and one-fifteenth of the people in the country all went to become monks.

Therefore, many people are taking advantage of it under the guise of a monk, because the temple does not collect taxes and occupies a large number of fields, which reduces the area of labor and land for tax cultivation, and in the year of the catastrophe, Emperor Wu of Zhou ordered the temple to provide grain for disaster relief, but the temple put usury behind its back, allowing the people to sell their sons and daughters.

There are also some people who rely on their identity as monks to run amok and commit crimes, challenging the laws of the country many times, and even some temples dare to plot rebellion, how can Emperor Wu endure this week!

Directly shouted some of the main monks in the world to the palace and presided over the debate meeting, Emperor Wu of Zhou directly said that you are not good at Buddhism, what you do is not personnel, don't do it, don't play, child, be obedient, stop it!

As a result, the monk Zhixuan pointed out that Taoism is even more unclean, let alone personnel, and asked Emperor Wu of Zhou to tell Taoism not to do it, stop playing, child, stop it!

Emperor Wu of Zhou originally supported Taoism, but when he said so, he said directly, that's okay, you just don't play, everyone has to stop, if you don't stop, Lao Tzu chopped his hand!

In the final analysis, the root of Emperor Wu of Zhou's destruction of Buddhism is that Emperor Wu of Zhou saw the essence of Buddhism clearly, all of which are vain, and these groups pay taxes and waste national strength, so they intend to revive the Confucian tradition and facilitate their intentions of making great efforts.

But now Li Shimin's connivance and Li Shimin's protection have once again made them see the possibility of Buddhism's revival again.

As today's flowers are rampant, these monks are holding the scriptures one by one, and they are chattering there, facing the old and young masters who are kneeling, the big ladies and the little daughters-in-law, and the cunning smiles of each one can't be hidden.

Now in front of the farmers in Lijiazhuang were kneeling with a few monks with wooden expressions, which made Qin Shou pout.

Qin Shou was here looking at what they were talking about, but it turned out that it was nothing, and he didn't know what they were talking about, anyway, Qin Shou was sure that it was definitely not a scripture, Qin Shou was helpless! Ridiculous and infuriating!

After the time of a stick of incense had passed, the monks suddenly stopped beating and bathing, but collectively put their hands together and said Amitabha, and there was no movement.

And Li Chengqian's little boy and little calf are still walking in front, holding the huge wooden plate, which is full of money raised by the villagers, there are ten times so much money, it is conceivable how rich these farmers in Lijiazhuang are one by one, they are simply rich, not ordinary wealth.

"Donor, what is the use of asking for money for good deeds and virtues?"

A monk with a ruddy face suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were shining when he looked at the money.

"Then you don't want it?"

Li Chengqian asked a little cute and innocent, and he didn't know if this kid was really so lacking in heart, or pretended, and actually arched his hand to a few monks and said, "Then I thank the master for the dealers!" ”

The wooden plate with the money was about to be taken back, and the monk saw that this little kid was really coming, and hurriedly stopped it, and said with a compassionate face: "The monks accumulate virtue and do good, they don't want money, but the Buddha also has to be filial, and he also needs incense money, and now he can accumulate merit to eliminate the sins of the next life." ”

The monk said with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude, and the Fang Yiai on the side also hurriedly said: "Yes, this is all filial piety to the Buddha, Amitabha!" ”

The monk casually took a look at this tray, they have been in several villages around Chang'an, but the only one who gives the most is Lijiazhuang, these here in Lijiazhuang are comparable to many villages around, it seems that the surroundings are saying that Lijiazhuang's life is the best, it is true, and you have to come to Lijiazhuang often in the future.

Lijiazhuang has to take more orders here in the future! That's how business can prosper! Bah! It's incense that thrives!

At this time, the monk took out a bag of incense burner ashes, put it in front of Li Chengqian, Fang Yiai and a group of villagers, and said: "This is a few of our senior brothers, chanting in front of the Buddha day and night, seven days and seven nights, exhausting their efforts, praying for you, drinking with water, this smallpox will naturally not be able to infect you and drive away evil spirits!" ”

Li Chengqian, Fang Yiai and the villagers hurriedly thanked the monk, holding the ashes of the incense burner as if they were holding a treasure, but before Qin Shou could speak, a familiar voice immediately said: "Master, master, is this true?" ”

Qin Shou turned his head and saw that this person was not his second uncle Lao Li, and the stupid and silly cousin Lao Sun, as well as who was the aunt and Lao Fang?

Smallpox is so bad! Didn't Chang'an issue a lockdown order? How did these people still run out?

"Of course, the monks don't speak, but that's all."

The monk said with a look of pity.

"Master, give you another seven days and seven nights, can you help me pray for more blessings, I am willing to donate incense!"

Empress Eldest Sun said with the posture of an upstart wife.

I can't imagine that I can still encounter such a big fish when I come to this Lijiazhuang, which is enough to eat for three years after it has been opened!

But how could this monk agree so quickly, pretending to be unfathomable, and said after a while: "Donor, these are all painstaking and painstaking, and they require my senior brothers and others to chant the sutras day and night in front of the Buddha, and also use our cultivation and merits. ”

"Don't mind, Master, you monks are compassionate, just help us, we are willing to recast the golden body of the Buddha statue for your temple!"

Empress Eldest Sun said that it was rare to have such a thing that could avoid smallpox, and she said that she had to buy everything.
