Chapter 110, Veterans Don't Die
The clergy has the right to do it, and the power of the office is to have the obligation and responsibility, only to take, not to reciprocate, and the power of the will is not so easy to speak.
The reason for this is very simple, that is, Lanruo Temple made a batch of Buddha cards in order to make money. Then they spread the word: If you get my Buddha card, you can avoid great disasters when you are alive, and you will not go to hell after death.
It's nothing more than a propaganda slogan that makes people pay for it. Even if someone fails to buy it and encounters a catastrophe, it is definitely a minority. At that time, whether the temple accuses them of being insincere or doing too much evil, it will not be troublesome. Other devotees will only stand on the side of the temple.
But the sky did not follow people's wishes, but last year the Xixia people came in, and they hit Zhejiang in one go.
When the military disaster arrives, it is not one or two people who will suffer, but a village, a city, and a county.
So many people bought amulets and didn't get shelter, so of course they would come.
"Master, it's better to pay back this kind of silver. ”
Shen Shi not only understood the situation, but also understood that Lanruo Temple had collapsed this time.
Wishing power does not come without a price.
"Presumptuous! Bold! Who are you, so bold and reckless, you dare to ask for the Buddha's incense money?"
However, before Shen Shi could say a word, the other monks were anxious on the spot.
Selling Buddha cards is their livelihood. And this business is simple and easy to earn, buy some wood, split it into a brand, and write Buddhist texts and Buddhist verses to collect money.
What? Doesn't work? Go back?
What are you kidding, we are monks from Lanruo Temple.
"Why don't you dare? You sell Buddhist cards, saying that they are protecting sentient beings. Not now. They just want to survive and get their money back, can't they?" Shen Shi pointed to the crowd behind him.
"Nonsense! You go now! You don't go, we'll help you go!"
Several warrior monks rushed out, fierce and vicious.
The abbot did not stop him, but closed his mouth and watched the play.
Are the monks so horizontal? Or are they revealing their true colors?
"Please, Master. I only need twenty to buy a thin coffin for my deceased husband to bury. ”
Someone came out. Faced with the monk's expulsion, a woman knelt down directly and begged.
Without her husband, she can't choose a funeral.
Her kneeling aroused the anger of the villagers. These days, they are already suffocating. They were believers, that is to say, when the Tangut people came, they contributed to the protection of Buddhist temples.
It is because of their efforts that Lanruo Temple is safe and sound.
But if they block the advance of the Tangut people, will the Tangut people let them go?
After protecting Lanruo Temple for a few months, he returned home, but his home was gone.
Didn't you say that if you buy a Buddha card and protect the Buddha, your home will be safe?
They don't speak, and they can't talk about these monks, so they don't say it, they just ask God, the Divine Tree for help.
This is the believers in Guobei County, they believe very sincerely and sincerely.
This is the cause and effect of the monk, and at the same time it is the sacred tree.
However, the temple's warrior monks themselves are private soldiers who protect the temple's property, and they dare to take action against any seizure of the temple's property.
A half-old little monk didn't say a word, but went down with a stick, and with a snap, he directly broke up the woman's headscarf. If it weren't for the fact that the woman happened to kowtow at that time, the stick might have hit her head. And what the consequences of this will be, it is really difficult to say.
Shen Shi's face turned cold! It seems that it is impossible to be good today.
Yes, Shen Shi hopes that it can be good. He is Chinese, and of course he understands the Chinese people, but as long as he can live, they will not make trouble.
Just like this group of people, they pray to the sacred tree just to survive. And this ability to keep them alive, Shen Shi believes that Lanruo Temple has it. It's just a matter of what they do and what they don't do.
Obviously, the warrior monk's stick gave the answer.
When the other villagers saw that the monk was doing it, they couldn't take care of their beliefs, and they suddenly became angry: "What are you doing!"
They didn't do it, but the monk did it first. It was definitely not what they expected.
One moved, and the other, a monk in his twenties, who was a little older, also swung his stick and smashed it at the woman again.
At this moment, someone among the villagers stood up, met him with a wooden staff in his hand, and bang, touched his stick.
But although this villager knows how to do both, he hasn't eaten much since last year, and his body has long been weak, so where will he be the opponent of the warrior monk. As soon as he blocked a blow, the young monk's stick flicked and bounced on his stomach, knocking him flying!
"Ahh
They are the poorest members of the Great Song Dynasty, maybe not before the military disaster, but definitely after the military disaster. Once they are injured, they don't have the money to see a doctor or take medicine. More importantly, they are the believers who have paid to protect Lanruo Temple.
"You hit people?"
"Her husband died to protect you, and you did it to her?"
"Master, we have believed in the Buddha since childhood. How can you beat people? Are you still Buddhists?"
......
Everyone was disappointed. The remaining reverence for the Buddha and the Buddhist monks has really disappeared at this moment. Hula, a lot of people have gone up!
The warrior monks looked at those people, but they were not afraid of the anger of the people at all, and there was no humanity in their eyes: "I have already told you to leave immediately! You don't listen! Then don't blame us for being rude! You people don't leave in the temple, and you want to cheat porridge and rice!"
"Say it again! You should retreat immediately!" The faces were full of ugly expressions! It is more credible to say that they are Jiangyang thieves.
A villager took a step forward: "What's the matter if you don't go!"
Before his words fell, a monk had already sneaked up on him, and swung a stick on the face of the villager, poof, the villager flew out sideways, which shows how strong this stick is!
"Xiao Zhao!"
"I'm grass!"
"These bald asses!"
The stick ignited everyone's anger. They can see that if they give in to these monks today, they will have to let these monks beat them to death.
No one wants to die, even if they believe in Buddhism, it doesn't mean they want to die.
In an uproar, the villagers picked up any equipment that could be used as weapons.
If you are not a monk's opponent, then you are not better than your skills.
Even if the warrior monks know martial arts, they are not bad. In order to protect the temple, they fought hard against the Tangut people. Fighting hard for the Tangut people without dying, they are not elite soldiers, but also veterans.
"Apologize! Even if you beat a woman, are you still human?" the veterans took the lead in anger, and the other villagers became emboldened.
In the face of this group of desperate veterans, even the skilled warrior monks hesitated and explained: "There is no distinction between men and women in the eyes of monks!"
