Chapter 1117: I Have Wine, Do You Have a Story?
shouted several words to escort the driver, but the guards on duty outside did not react.
Even, the king looked at the queen beside him, and he shouted so loudly that the queen actually looked like she was asleep.
The king knew very well that these were the means of the river.
Since it was useless to shout, the king got up, and directly wore a loose pajamas, but his bearing was extraordinary, and he came to sit down in front of Jiang Liu.
Then he raised his hand, grabbed the cup of tea that Jiang Liu poured for himself in front of him, and drank it all.
"Well, master, you are not very good at making tea!" said the king, after putting down the empty teacup.
"Oh, look at Your Majesty's appearance, but you are not panicked at all!" Although he shouted a few words of escort at the beginning, Jiang Liu was able to talk to himself calmly and calmly so quickly, and Jiang Liu glanced at the king in surprise.
Whether he is really calm or pretending to be calm, in Jiang Liu's opinion, it is not simple.
"Why panic, if you want to kill me, you can do it in your sleep!" replied the king, after glancing at Jiang Liu.
"Well, that's the truth!"
Nodding slightly, it is very simple, but even if they understand this truth, there are very few people who can be calm.
It's like walking on the edge of a tall building, and it stands to reason that you won't fall down without an accident, but how many people can really walk along the edge of a tall building with a sense of composure?
"Okay, let's say, what is the purpose of you coming here to find me late at night? Is it to stop me from killing the monk? besides, who are you?" the king asked Jiang Liu, without meaning nonsense.
"No, I didn't come to you to stop you from killing the monks, but as for my identity, I only came to your country today!" Jiang Liu said to the king with a humble and polite appearance.
"It turns out that you are the monk from the Tang Dynasty today!" Listening to Jiang Liu's words, the king naturally understood Jiang Liu's identity, and nodded suddenly.
During the day, he still felt puzzled, he could be easily caught by a few of his own guards, how did this Tang Seng and his party walk through the road of seventy or eighty thousand miles of poor mountains and bad waters.
Now it seems that they are right, they really have the magic means to subdue demons and subdue demons.
"As a monk, don't you want to stop me from killing other monks?" Although his heart was stunned, the king looked at Jiang Liu in even more surprise.
"Why should I stop you?" Jiang Liu asked with a slight smile.
"As a monk, shouldn't you stop me when you see me killing other monks?" the king felt very puzzled.
Jiang Liu did not mean to answer the king's surprised inquiry.
It's just that the more Jiang Liu didn't answer, the king thought about it himself, his expression suddenly changed, and his face also showed a touch of mockery: "Sure enough, you people in Buddhism are ruthless and unrighteous, and you don't even care about your own people at all!"
Obviously, in the king's opinion, the reason why Jiang Liu did not stop himself from killing the monk was because Jiang Liu did not care about the life and death of other monks.
As a disciple of Buddhism, he didn't care about the life and death of other monks, and this attitude was unceremoniously mocking.
"Your Majesty, after all, now I am a swordman, you are a fish and meat, you mock the poor monk like this, are you not afraid that the poor monk will kill him?" Jiang Liu's expression was still calm, but he said to the king in his mouth.
"So, since you're not trying to stop me from killing other monks, what is your purpose?" Without dwelling on the subject, the king asked Jiang Liu, changing the subject.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and Jiang Liu did not break the king's attitude towards changing the topic, and said: "I came here today mainly to ask Your Majesty, why do you want to kill 10,000 monks?"
"Does it matter?" the king asked Jiang Liu.
"It's important to me!" Jiang Liu said with a nod.
His answer made the king look at him in astonishment.
He didn't care about killing so many monks by himself, but he cared so much about why he wanted to kill so many monks? Moreover, it was very important to him? Why?
"That's the purpose of my coming here tonight, and I hope Your Majesty can tell you the truth!" Seeing the king's stunned expression, Jiang Liu could understand his thoughts, and then spoke.
Taking a deep look at the river, the king's heart was secretly thinking and did not speak.
The king felt very strange about Jiang Liu's attitude, it stands to reason that the most important thing is for him to save the monks who are about to be killed, right? As for why he wants to kill these monks?
But on the contrary, he was very concerned about his reasons for killing these monks, but he didn't care about the life and death of those monks?
I thought for a moment, although I didn't understand why Jiang Liu was like this.
However, thinking that Jiang Liu sneaked into his dormitory late at night for the purpose of this, the king did not think much about it.
Since he wants to know, it doesn't hurt to tell him, right?
"My hatred for monks lies in an incident I encountered when I was young!" said the king to Jiang Liu.
"Well, it's not appropriate to drink tea......" Jiang Liu said when he heard the king's words.
As he spoke, Jiang Liu put aside all the tea utensils on the table, and then opened his own package space, took out some wine utensils from them, and after placing them, he poured a glass of wine for himself and the king respectively, and said, "I have wine, you can show your story!"
Seeing Jiang Liu's attitude, the corners of the king's mouth twitched slightly, it was the first time that he had such a sense of ritual to listen to his own story.
I have wine, please show your story?
Does this sound like a feeling?
Picking up the glass of wine that Jiang Liu had poured for himself, the king drank it again and said, "When I was young, I dreamed of going to the ends of the world with a sword and eliminating evil for good!"
"Well, this is not strange, as long as it is a man, he will have such a dream!" Hearing the king's words, Jiang Liu nodded, but he consciously played the role of a supporter.
"Then, one year there was a great drought, and I found that the monks in this temple were piling up a lot of food that they could not eat, but they always told the outside that they were poor and needed to be given to them by the people!" said the king with a look of anger on his face.
Jiang Liu was speechless when he said this.
Indeed, monks all need to turn their fate, and if you say it nicely, it is to turn your fate, and if you say it badly, it is no different from asking for food.
And more importantly, the food grown in the temple's fields is generally not subject to state taxes.
The food grown by the people has to pay taxes, but the food grown in the temple does not need to pay taxes, so it stands to reason that the monks in the temple should be richer than the people, right?
However, the monk still always reaches out to the people to ask for food, which is called karma, hoping to be reincarnated into a better family or something in the next life.
"Just because of this, do you want to kill 10,000 monks?" Although Jiang Liu also understood the king's anger, which was justified to a certain extent, Jiang Liu felt that this alone was not enough to make the king angry enough to kill 10,000 monks, right?
"Indeed, if this is the case alone, even if I am angry, I will not kill so many monks, but even in this situation, there are still monks who want to encroach on the people's farmland for their own use!"
As soon as he said this, the king paused slightly, with a touch of remembrance on his face, and said: "When the drought occurred, I remember very clearly, and natural disasters came to the world, and there were more demons, I remember that I met the demon general, and the demon general was able to cast spells, although I finally tried my best to kill the demon general, but I was also seriously injured!"
"Then, I happened to be taken in by a kind old farmer, who at that time could be regarded as kind by nature. ”
"You must know that in that great drought, the old farmer was willing to take me in, and every bite of food he gave me was cut from his own mouth and given to me!"
"Well, in this way, it is indeed a kind person!" Jiang Liu nodded in agreement after hearing the king's words.
The previous Fahai, and the old peasant in the mouth of the king now, although it is said that there is deceit between heaven and earth, but in the same way, there are many people with good nature.
"Later, the old farmer died!"
After glancing at Jiang Liu, the king's expression darkened a lot, and he said, "That old peasant finally jumped into the river and died in despair because his farmland was taken away by a monk from a temple!"
"These ordinary monks who say beautiful things in their mouths, when they cause harm to people, where do they still have the slightest appearance of compassion?"
"Later, after I ascended the throne, I did a good investigation, and none of these monks were good, so I made a vow to kill 10,000 monks to avenge it!"
"I see!" Hearing the king's motive for killing 10,000 monks, Jiang Liu nodded suddenly in his heart.
The king's move was to vent his personal anger, and secondly, for the land and wealth in the hands of the monks, right?
Jiang Liu remembered the time of the previous life, all dynasties, as long as the world was in chaos, the temple was always easy to be robbed.
This king is thinking like this, right?
After killing 10,000 monks, the monks in those temples hid, and those farmlands naturally returned to the hands of the people.
Not only can it give more benefits to the people, but also because taxes can fill the treasury, and finally it can vent personal anger, this is the truth that the king wants to kill 10,000 monks, right?
"The poor monk still has a problem!" It's just that, after understanding the king's motives, Jiang Liu followed and said, "Then the Arhats and Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, why didn't anyone stop you?"
