The owner of the 24th courtyard of Kaibao Temple has been feeling bad these days.

Although Kaibao Temple, as a royal family temple, has always been the number one jungle in the Great Song Dynasty with the Great Xiangguo Temple, the income is rich, and it is far better than those scholars who have fallen in three or four generations.

Regardless of anything else, even Cai Jing, who is known as the "husband and wife", his mansion is not as vast as Kaibao Temple.

But just like the genealogy of the sixty-four monasteries of the Great Xiangguo Temple, the stakes between them are like spider webs, and the twenty-four temples of Kaibao Temple also do not have the same deep feelings.

The head of Niohin, Ruyue, was sitting like a bell at the moment, facing the colleagues in front of him.

The Lord of the Enlightenment Temple, the Pure Ring Zen Master, was the host of today's meeting, looking at the bald head below, and everyone was silent, he smiled at Ruyue first, and then said: "Although this temple is divided into 24 courtyards, but Nioh-in Temple is full of incense, and it has always been a leader, but now that Nioh-in Temple is locked, how can everyone not be without a little twist and turn? ”

When the Pure Precept Zen Master said this, the monk Zhicheng, the head of the Shuanglin Monastery on the side, jumped up and said, "Senior brother, it's bad for you to talk like this." The incense of Nioh-in Temple is vigorous, but it has never shared a little profit with all the brothers and sisters here. However, today, he has suffered a disaster in Niohin-in-in, why do you want us to make up for it?"

When these words came out, Wu Xiu, the head of Yong'an Temple, also followed and said: "Senior Brother Zhicheng is right, it is okay for us to raise money to repair the golden body, but Senior Brother Ruyue should make a note with each vein today, and from now on, as soon as Niohin has money and goods, it should be allocated forty percent and handed over to the Tibetan owners of each temple to take care of together, and it can no longer be eaten alone by the Niohin family!"

When these words came out, all the courtyard masters responded loudly, and nodded in a row: "It should be so, it should be so!"

In this series of calls, the Zen Master looked at Monk Ruyue in embarrassment, but the tall, calm and abyss-like master of the temple just looked around and asked, "The King Prajnaparamita Ming enshrined in my temple has the merit of protecting the holy king and eliminating national disasters, and it is the treasure of Emperor Renzong's generosity. Since it is difficult for you brothers to give up their good money, the poor monk has no choice but to knock on the letter and ask the official family to give a sum of money to repair the golden body of King Ming!"

When these words came out, the faces of the courtyard masters in the hall changed, and the monk Zhicheng, who was originally the loudest shout, put his hands desperately a few times, and persuaded: "Senior Brother Ruyue, why are you so troubled? Today's official family is annoyed when they see us monks with no hair on their heads, not to mention that the Ming Wang Bao left by Emperor Renzong seems to have been damaged in our hands. I'm afraid that if you go to knock on the Que, the officials will not only refuse to allocate money and food, but also investigate our negligence in offering to the Buddha!"

When these words came out, Monk Ruyue said lightly: "In this case, the money for the restoration of the statue of King Ming fell on the head of my Renwang Temple, and there are shortcomings, and the monks of this temple will also raise money from the good believers, and they will never waste a penny of copper coins for your brothers and sisters, so good?"

Hearing this, the monk Wuxiu of Yong'an Temple suddenly jumped out and said, "Absolutely not! What is such a big deal as Nioh-in Temple's lock-up of the courtyard? If only one of your courtyards is entrusted with this matter, how long will it be delayed? ”

Saying a thousand things and ten thousand, no matter which courtyard it is, this time it is like an old turtle that smells fishy, and it is holding back to bite off a few pieces of meat from Niohin's body.

While this group of virtuous monks was bargaining, the Zen Master of Pure Vows saw that there was a monk outside with a panicked face, and was rushing towards this meeting hall. Although the monk guarding the door was loyal and stopped him, he was still drunk, and by the way, he interrupted the meeting that was becoming more and more full of copper stench for a moment: "Who is outside, and what do you have to tell you?"

The monk who knew the guest happened to be from the Waiting Jue Academy, and as soon as he saw the Zen master of the Pure Ring, he shouted: "Grandpa, it's amazing, there is a group of military men outside, and there is also a monk in charge of the Great Xiangguo Temple, who is fierce and vicious, and broke into the temple and said that he wanted to take people!"

Not to mention that the Great Xiangguo Temple is okay, as soon as I heard about the Great Xiangguo Temple, the Yuliang dispute between the Kaibao Temple and the Great Xiangguo Temple for more than 100 years immediately stirred up the full hall of courtyard owners: "How can this be true! The Great Xiangguo Temple really thinks that there is no one in our Kaibao Temple? What kind of monks in charge dare to go to the door to spread the wilderness -- we are all monks who give purple, but we can't tolerate a monk of Xiangguo Temple to be arrogant!"

While speaking, the masters of each courtyard didn't care about bargaining with the monk Ruyue of Niohin, and they jumped out of the hall one after another, shouting: "Where are the disciples of this academy!"

The Zen master of the Pure Precepts didn't care about the others, but just instructed the monk who knew the guest: "Go and beat the drum and the bell, and gather the monks of this temple, Toutuo, Changxing, and Huogong Taoist, why don't you go quickly?!"

The monk got the order, and immediately crawled and hurried away. In a short time, the drum beat was urgent, and the bell was melodious, and it spread all over most of the Kaibao Temple-

There is no way, the area occupied by the twenty-four courtyards of this Kaibao Temple is too large.

At this end, the monks of Kaibao Temple hurriedly gathered with the sound of bells and drums, and on the other side, there was Lin Qianjun, the old Bianliang, leading the way, and Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and Lu Zhishen led the "joint law enforcement team" composed of the gate control army, the officials of Kaifeng Mansion and the market splash, which was really like entering a no-man's land in Kaibao Temple.

Ordinary pilgrims and tourists, although they are not afraid of anything to the forbidden army, but in front of the Kaifeng Mansion officials and the market splashers, no one can be bold!

Not to mention that Yang Zhi, the leader of the team, has now regained his official status, he is a grumpy temper, who dares to stand in the way, and the big fist of the vinegar bowl will smash down-

In this way, before the thousands of monks of Kaibao Temple, as well as the number of Toutuo, Changxing, and Huogong Dao people who far exceeded this number, gathered, this group of people arrived at the head of Nioh-in.

Although the temple was locked and guarded by two monks, when he met Yang Zhi, he became a little envoy again, and he was in a hurry to make meritorious service, so what did he care about the side affairs? I saw that his family heirloom knife waved violently, and the iron lock on the gate of the temple was broken in two, and then he kicked it over, and even the gate of the courtyard was kicked to the ground by Yang Zhi!

Lin Chong had a calm temperament, stopped Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi, and said: "Mention the jurisdiction, and let me go in and explore!"

Lu Zhishen shook his head and shouted: "Sect leader, since we are here together, we will naturally go together!"

After that, Lu Zhishen dragged the Xuantie Zen staff and went straight in.

I saw that on the front hall of Nioh-in, the delicately gilded statue of King Ming was lying miserably in the main hall as rumored, and the cracks were as smooth as a mirror.

But apart from this statue of King Ming, which cracked for no reason, there is nothing special about it.

When the three of them were back to back, on the one hand, on guard, and looking around, outside the temple of Nioh, they heard a broken shout: "Everyone, Tanyue, and this senior brother of the Great Xiangguo Temple, broke into the temple for no reason to take people, but why?"

While speaking, I saw that the Zen master of the Pure Precept was the leader, a large group of monks in the Kaibao Temple, and those who could put on purple robes were neatly draped. Even those who don't have the status of a monk or official put on the seven magnolia-colored robes.

I saw the bald head reflecting the sun, the robe fluttering, the sound of the Buddha's horn, a solemn Sangha scene!

Seeing the endless stream of bald troops, the officials and splashes didn't feel anything in front of this visual impact, but those forbidden troops couldn't bear the pressure at first, and even slowed down their movements.

This is also a matter of no choice, the entire Northern Song Dynasty, because the Zhao family absorbed the shortcomings of the five dynasties of feudal towns, and corrected and reversed it with the system of emphasizing literature and ignoring military force. In Zhao Da, he can be regarded as half a son of heaven, and he can still suppress civil officials and ensure a relatively equal environment for civil and military affairs. And after Zhao Er took over the throne by the sound of the axe and candle, the rise of civil officials and the suppression of military ministers became a conscious choice.

At the same time that civilian officials discriminated against and suppressed military officials, soldiers were almost equated with the untouchable class and were not regarded as children of good families.

The most criticized is the military tattooing system in the Song Dynasty, which directly equated military personnel with assassination prisoners. In Shaanxi Road, because of the perennial war, the soldiers are more or less respected, but in Bianliang, these gate control troops have recognized their status as "thieves with the army" regardless of body and mind, compared with these monks, the gap between them is nothing more than mud?

These forbidden troops have shrunk, but when have those officials and splashes been afraid of these bald donkeys who are not diligent?

Lin Qianjun is so shrewd, and there is no psychological pressure to offend these monks in Kaibao Temple, so at this time, he greeted those officials and splashers: "What are you still doing in a daze, search, search!"

Seeing that these goods didn't put themselves in their eyes at all, the Zen master of the Pure Ring turned slightly pale and shouted: "Guys Tan Yue, you broke into this temple for no reason to take people, do you have Kaifeng Mansion documents?"

When he shouted, those courtyard masters, hall masters, and their respective disciples and grandchildren also shouted: "Our Kaibao Temple is a Zen temple, and please all of you Tanyue self-respect!"

While speaking, Monk Ruyue, as the master of the Renwang Academy, came out of the crowd and walked straight in, and stopped in front of Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen in a few steps: "This general, and this senior brother, what business do you have, please tell the poor monk, how can there be such a reason for such an open fire to break through the empty door?"

was blocked by this monk without a trace, but Lin Chong was a well-known good-natured, and first arched his hand towards the monk and said: "This master is invited, we are following the order of Shangfeng Jun to arrest a murder fugitive." Someone reported that in recent days, there have often been strange things in your temple. We came here for the sake of your temple's name, and I hope that the master will be tolerant. ”

Monk Ruyue looked the group of people up and down, shook his head and said: "Just a few people who want to do business, and they are not in a hurry, can you go to the meditation room with the poor monk to serve tea first." Wait for a few people to explain the ins and outs, and it's not too late to check again. ”

Lin Chong is a good talker, and when Monk Ruyue said this, he was also a little hesitant, so he had to look at Lu Zhishen on the side.

Lu Zhishen twisted his head, looked at Monk Ruyue, and said impatiently: "At this time, what kind of tea do you eat, you count the zodiac and talk nonsense, there will be thieves, and they will run away!"

Lu Zhishen opened his mouth, and Monk Ruyue fell on him, and slapped his palms together to ask: "This senior brother, I haven't seen it in ordinary times, but I don't know how to mix with these soldiers today, it's really not decent." ”

Hearing Monk Ruyue's words, Lu Zhishen suddenly said angrily: "What kind of nonsense is this bald guy saying, before he became a monk, he became a low-cost envoy to the five roads in Kansai, but he also earned his fame with a knife and a shot in the side court, but I don't know where there is any indecency!"

As he spoke, he slammed the dark iron Zen staff to the ground!

The shovel head was smashed into the ground by him at once, and the red light on the shovel head flashed suddenly, and then on the gilded statue of King Ming, which was split in half, there was also a red light burning!

The two scorching red lights echoed each other, and suddenly turned into a burst of fire and rushed straight into the ground.

The green bricks all over the ground were rushed by this fire, and they flew up in an instant!

I saw those green bricks falling like rain, and a gully several feet deep had appeared on the ground, and faintly, I could see that under the deep ditch, there seemed to be a masonry road, which ran straight to the iron tower of Kaibao Temple not far away——

Lin Qianjun's eyes are the best, at this time he was standing under the corridor of the main hall of Niwangyuan, and he was not smashed by the large falling green bricks, at this moment he pointed to the underground corridor and shouted: "Ah, this monk of Kaibao Temple really built a secret room in the underground!"

Lin Chong waved the spear in his hand, knocking away the falling bricks and stones, and when he heard Lin Qianjun's shout, he immediately turned the tip of the spear upside down, facing it directly at Monk Ruyue: "Master, what's going on with this tunnel?"

At the head of the Nioh-in Temple, the remaining twenty-three courtyard masters, suddenly saw that the ground cracked, revealing such a tunnel, everyone exclaimed, and involuntarily retreated.

The monk Zhicheng of Shuanglin Temple even shouted: "That general, this matter must be because the monks of Niohin Temple do not abide by the rules. The lawsuit of Nio-in Temple has nothing to do with my Kaibao Temple!"

He was clearing up here, Yang Zhi was anxious, and he was about to jump down with his ancestral treasure knife.

However, before his body could fall, he felt a cold light in front of him. Rao is he has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he immediately blocked it with a vertical knife, but the knife qi still left a blood mark on his forehead!

This change came suddenly, Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen shouted in unison: "Who dares to commit murder!"

In the shouting, Lu Zhishen smashed the Xuantie Zen staff forward, but was gently and skillfully flashed by the perpetrator.

The moment the dust settled, I saw that the monk Ruyue, who had originally behaved calmly, was holding a slender and sharp blade in his hand at this moment.

The blade was slightly curved like a crescent moon, and the side of the blade was as cold as snow, but the tip of the blade was specially sharpened into a blade like a half-cut sword tip.

Lin Chong has been in Bianliang for a long time, what foreign strange things have he not seen? Seeing this long knife, he immediately shouted: "Sword?"

Monk Ruyue pointed his sword at Lin Chong and responded: "Exactly, under the natural flow of reason, Musashi is like a moon fast." Please Sect Leader Lin stay here for the time being, and don't disturb the Great Ah Yanli who is practicing!"
