After three minutes, the monks fell to the ground like crazy chicks, either foaming at the mouth, rolling their eyes, or covered in blood, with broken hands and feet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The whole hall is really miserable.

The abbot who has not moved his hand, the hand holding the Jiuxi Zen staff has turned white, and the powerful force that he involuntarily clenched made his body tremble for a while, he closed his eyes stiffly, and the scriptures in his mouth were no longer coherent, only the repeated Amitabha Buddha, echoing between his mouth and nose.

With a flick of the embroidered spring knife in Qianhu's hand, a straight blood mark appeared on the ground, and he sneered: "The overseer is under the imperial order of the official family to suppress the lawlessness in the world, but he is only summoned to be investigated, and you and other monks dare to disobey the order, it is simply looking for death." ”

The host tried to keep his voice steady, but the anger and despair that came from his heart made his voice sound extremely high-pitched. "We who are monks, who are compassionate and kind to all sentient beings, have violated the Great Song Dynasty law and are going to suffer this calamity?"

"Usually cultivate your mouth but not cultivate virtue, you chant Amitabha Buddha in your mouth, but you are not soft at all when you do it, and the villages and people within a radius of 100 miles of Jinan Mansion are being exploited and oppressed by you. Qianhu sneered: "Occupy the land of the Great Song Dynasty, turn mountains and forests into cultivated fields, oppress tenants, issue printing money, and the interest rate is high enough to force people to death." Befriending high-ranking officials, creating and spreading superstitious thoughts, and having too close contacts with monks from enemy countries, none of these cases is a great crime of rebellion!"

Boom!

The staff slammed and made a loud noise.

The host shouted: "And wait for the cool officials, perverse, reversing black and white, don't you know the cycle of life and death, and the retribution is not happy." Now that the Dharma of Zen is difficult, we will enter the Pure Land as soon as possible, and if you do this evil thing, you will be forever sinful, and you will not be able to live beyond hell. ”

Qianhu said calmly: "I can be a pawn for the official family and the overseer, suppress the lawlessness in the world, and clean up my Great Song River and Mountain, even if it sets off a monstrous blood wave, I will not shake my hands." For the livelihood of the people, the people of the world, and the fortune of the country, even if we wait for the eternal fall, it is as sweet as a glutton!"

Bing Sanzhang said impatiently: "Arrest them all! What nonsense do you talk to them! I am equal to the imperial court, and the majesty of the country is greater than the sky." These monks only talk about reincarnation, only talk about the Pure Land, and frequently contact the temples of enemy countries in the name of cultivating Buddhism, and also print the precious books of our Great Song Dynasty into volumes, and beat favors everywhere. Without paying attention to intellectual property rights at all, without a bit of national concept, the ass has long been crooked. He doesn't have a concept of country in his head, so why are you telling him so much?"

All the subordinates responded in unison, pulled out their waists, and Piso rushed forward, regardless of whether the monks were unconscious or seriously injured, they all tied up a sturdy.

Qianhu glanced at the pale host, and shook the leather cord in his hand, "Master, come with us!"

The abbot shouted: "The court insults the Buddha and destroys the future, as the abbot of the Thousand Buddha Temple, I would rather die than be contaminated by evil demons." ”

After speaking, he slapped his backhand at his Heavenly Spirit Gai.

There was a tearing scream, and a cloud of blood mist exploded from the palm of the host's hand.

Bing Sanzhang didn't lift the corner of his eye, threw the copper coin in his hand on the ground, turned around and left. "What's the matter, who told you that in front of my forbidden law hall, life and death can be up to you?"

The host's face was pale, and he could only drag his broken arm and watch the smiling Qianhu approach step by step.

———

On that day, the Thousand Buddha Temple closed the altar and refused all pilgrims.

There are people who ask for children, wealth and peace, or hear the reputation of the Thousand Buddha Temple, most of the pilgrims who come from afar choose to live in the courtyard of the farmhouse at the foot of the mountain, in order to wait for the next day to go up the mountain again.

But what is strange is that the next day, when everyone walked up the hill again, the sign that the temple was closed before the mountain road was not removed. Everyone had no choice but to return the same way.

This was still the case on the third and fourth days, and it was not until the seventh day that the Thousand Buddhas Temple reopened its doors to receive incense wishes.

And on the morning of this day, two Taoist priests, one tall and one short, also came to the foot of the Thousand Buddha Temple, the two of them were not slow, they climbed the stairs, walked to the door and bowed slightly to the monk of the guest, and said: "Qingsong Temple, Tiande Tianliang asked to see the abbot Master Yuanwen." ”

The monk glanced at the two of them, and said with a slight smile: "It's unfortunate that the two Taoist friends came! The abbot and the senior monks in the temple Yu traveled to visit friends the day before yesterday, and they have not returned yet. ”

"The day before yesterday, dare to ask where the abbot master went?"

"The poor monk doesn't know!"

"When will the abbot come back?"

"The poor monk doesn't know. ”

"Can you please ask the monks of your temple to pass it on on your behalf, and say that Qingsong Temple has something important to discuss with the master. ”

"The abbot wanders erratically, and the poor monk can't do anything!"

"You!" the dwarf man said angrily in the morning: "You don't know this, you don't know that, you push and shove, obviously deliberately don't say it!

The monk clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name, but he made a default.

Tianliang was furious, and with a wave of his right hand, he stepped forward to give him a palm.

Tiande sighed, looked up and down, stretched out his hand to stop his junior brother, looked at the monk and said: "Don't blame the master, my junior disciple is rude and straightforward, but there is no malice. Since the abbot is not here, I will come back in a while. ”

"Amitabha. The monk smiled and nodded slightly.

The two Dao people went down the mountain one after the other, and the dwarf Daoist was still a little indignant at dawn: "Senior brother, why don't you let me beat him? That monk is too unreasonable, he is simply too deceitful." ”

Tiande's expression was faint: "What is there to worry about with a monster? ”

"Monster?" Tianliang's eyes widened.

"If you don't learn, you can't do anything!" Tiande shook his head slightly: "Isn't your magic eye opened?

Tianliang scratched his head, slapped his lap on the leg and shouted, "That's right, that monk not only has no spirit, but three fires, and even the blood and qi on his body are so faint that there is almost no life, and even I don't feel any vitality in him." ”

"That's why you were irritable just now!" Tiande glanced back at him and said lightly: "But this monk has no demonic energy, I simply tested it, Zhenyuan used to be like a mud cow into the sea, without the slightest feedback, it can be seen that this matter is not simple!"

Tianliang hesitated: "Senior brother, you mean to say that the Thousand Buddha Temple was closed for seven days because it was attacked by monsters. ”

"It's broken, it's broken, otherwise the abbot won't suddenly wander, as for whether it's broken by monsters, it's not necessarily, don't forget, why we're here. ”

"You mean forbidden law ... ”

"Talk less, do more!" Tiande interrupted him, "I can't say that this matter needs to be investigated properly. ”

Tianliang scratched his head and followed his senior brother down the mountain.

The monks' fields in the Thousand Buddha Temple are more than 5,000 acres, and the tenants needed are naturally many. They don't live together, and basically according to their family names, or some other reason, they form small villages in units of thirty or fifty households.

The small village where the two brothers lived was not the closest to the Thousand Buddha Temple, but a little more remote.

Naturally, it is necessary to walk a little more up the mountain, but the village is close to the side of the road, so it is very convenient to enter the city.

When the two returned to the village, all the families gathered at the threshing floor, and a small man in the middle of the house was spitting at the mouth, and a few coolies were next to him to distribute the grain from generation to generation to the people present.

All the tenants had half-puzzled and half-happy expressions, grabbing the rice bag and looking at the little official without blinking.

Tianliang couldn't understand it, "Senior brother, why is this government not collecting grain but distributing it!"

"Close your mouth and look carefully!" Tiande couldn't figure it out, so he could only be perfunctory for the time being.

The two of them gathered in their ears, and the voice of the little official gradually came in.

“。。。 Every family must plant three points of land for me to grow this grain, and I will be exempted from the rent of your two acres of land next year, but don't think that I am talking about it, this has been discussed with the great monks on the mountain. They also want to support the benevolent government of the prefect! Tell you, these seeds are very valuable, and they are all protected by me as eyeballs, and if any loser eats them, they will not be able to hand over the grain next year, but don't blame me for asking the great monks to drive you out. Without the protection of the tax-exempt official field, Diao Min who dares to spoil the prefect's affairs, I have a way to clean him up!"

The little official repeated it several times over there, and when the coolies had finished distributing the grain, they waved their hands and pulled a few grain carts to squeak and leave.

Now the threshing floor is lively, the heads of each family are very excited, from time to time someone grabs out a handful of grain in their hands and rubs it, in the hands of the crystal clear grain is extremely surprised.

Tiande came over at dawn, and they saw the owner of their borrowed house at a glance, and hurriedly walked forward and asked, "Uncle, what's going on?"

The old man raised his head and said with a smile: "It turns out that they are two Taoist masters, good things and good things, don't worry! It is said that the official family took pity on the suffering of my people and sent people to find this kind of grain among the 100,000 mountains in the south. ”

Tianliang's eyes widened: "Obediently, hundreds of stones?

The old man smiled: "It's not, it's too vain to say, old man, I have been digging on the land for almost a lifetime, and the yield per mu is more than ten stones, thank God, hundreds of stones?"

Dawn was embarrassing, and for the first time he knew that the old farmer could show a disdainful expression at the corner of his mouth.

"What the old man said is reasonable, it is good to want to come to the official family, but I have never seen the land of the dealer since I was a child, and I was teased by the villain's treacherous tongue. Hundreds of stones are laughing and generous!"

The old man shook his head and said: "It's nothing, I am still grateful to the official family, there are good things to think about the people of the world, and he is indeed the king of benevolence." Since the prefect has given an order, and it is a seed given by the official family, I will plant it if I say anything. ”

"Old man Gaoyi!"

Tiande arched his hand, expressed his admiration, and said, "Actually, there is one more thing I want to ask my husband about." ”

"Oh?"

"The two of us went to burn incense this morning, and I always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the Thousand Buddha Temple, but after a closer look, everything was normal. I wonder if my husband noticed it?"

"What do you perceive!" the old man pursed his lips and snorted: "The bald donkey on the mountain has recently discovered that he has cut off more than half of the rent, barely leaving three points. It's been so many years that I finally saw the compassionate side of Buddhism before I died. ”

"Oh, the rent was reduced for no reason?"

"I heard that it was requested by the prefect, but it's just a rumor!" The old man thought for a while and said: "It may be that the matter of forcing the tenants of the next village to death happened last year, which made the prefect grasp the sore foot, so he had to compromise." ”

"Kill the tenants, those monks?" the tone of the dawn changed, and his face was full of incredulity.

The old man said hatefully: "What is this new? Those monks are fat and big-eared, and their daily food and clothing are naturally to be asked for from us.

"Can you bear such a stinky monk?"

"What if I can't bear you?" a trace of sadness flashed in the old man's eyes, "We are tenants, and it is natural for us to farm and pay grain to the master." Although the monk is black, he only asks for money, at most he sells his sons and daughters, and he will not be bullied and robbed, and he is not known how many times better than the tenants outside! You don't want to bear it, the monk's land doesn't want to be rented to you yet, one is driven out today, and ten will come to vote tomorrow, these monks have nothing to fear!"

Tianliang was dumbfounded, it was the first time he had heard of these things.

Tiande is expressionless, and the landlord rents the land and the tenant pays the grain, which is an iron law for thousands of years. The gentry class bullied the peasant class, which is already a phenomenal incident, Tiande has been cultivating for a long time, and he has seen a lot of these things, and his Taoist heart is firm, so that he will not be shaken by this small matter.

On the contrary, seeing the expressions on the faces of the junior brothers, I felt a little more worried.

Stinky boy, I usually don't practice well, I come out and embarrass people everywhere, see me go back and don't show up to the master, take care of you.

Tianliang suddenly shivered, looked left and right, I don't know why.

"The prefect is a good man! I really hope that when he will be able to arrest a group of monks on the mountain and put them in prison to teach them a good lesson, so that they can also know what the royal law is!" the old man snorted.

Tiande said: "Can you show the poor Dao the grain planting?"

The old man heartily opened the mouth of the bag, and Tiande reached out and grabbed a handful.

Sure enough, it is a good grain, the size is uniform, the color is full, and it seems to be shining when it is illuminated by the sun.

He stuffed two into his mouth, and his eyes lit up slightly.

"Good stuff!"

"Isn't it just a good thing! I'm afraid that we who are working hard may not be able to grow food if we have it!"

"You can be exempted from the tax on two acres of land!"

The old man laughed and said, "That's what I said, what I said!"

Seeing the senior brother and the old man looking at each other and laughing, Tianliang was a little confused.

Isn't it just some wheat grains? I haven't even shed my husks, and I can't eat them, and even if I can grow a lot, it's a matter of the future, so what's so funny about it now?

And aren't we here to investigate the monsters on the mountain?

How can you talk about growing food, could it be that these kinds of food are made by monsters? No, can monsters be so kind?

Tianliang shook his head vigorously, he really wanted to be blind.

He didn't know, but he really told him to guess!) )
