"Brother, I misunderstood. We are monks of this temple. This temple used to be a very good place to live in the ten directions, with a large number of monks and many farms. It was just a year ago that the fat monk led the Taoist to control it. After driving away the monks, the two of them committed evil here and left the temple in ruins.”
"There are wastelands in front and behind here. It's too far from the Yamen. These two people do evil and never go far. The officers and soldiers are unwilling to come, so they can't stop him at all."
The old monk explained.
"Sister, how did you get kidnapped here?"
Sun Lei looked like a young woman again and asked.
"Two benefactors! My family is from the former village. My father, Wang Youjin, used to be Tan Yue of this temple. He fell ill and passed away last year. My husband has been seriously ill these days. My family wanted to kidnap him and grab some medicine in the city, but they met these two A vicious thief, they kidnapped him into the temple."
The young woman began to cry as she spoke.
Hearing the woman's cries, Lu Zhishen became even more furious and swung his whip harder.
"Brother, please forgive me. We are blind and cannot recognize Mount Tai. We are also heroes in the world. I am flying to the sky, Yaksha Qiu Xiaoyi. I dare to ask my brother Gao's name."
Qiu Xiaoyi was hit in the nose by Sun Lei with a stick, and the bridge of his nose was shattered. The nosebleeds continued to flow, and he endured the pain and begged for mercy.
"The poor monk is the pig-iron Buddha Cui Daocheng. Brother, please spare my life."
Cui Daocheng was hit with a Zen cane on his shoulder and his bones were broken. He endured the pain and begged for mercy.
"You two idiots dare to call yourself heroes. I'll beat you to death!"
Lu Zhishen became even more angry when he heard that these two guys were trying to get close, and started to fight with his fists. Lu Zhishen's fists were extraordinary. The two people who were already seriously injured were punched several times, and they were beaten to death as soon as their eyes rolled.
"I'm taking advantage of you! How dare you call yourself a hero! Kill every one of the Sa family when you see them!"
Lu Zhishen was still angry and looked at the two corpses fiercely and said.
"Master Lu, your compassion really opened my eyes."
Sun Lei clapped his hands and said, "Lu Zhishen is full of compassion, but he is really merciless when he kills people. Fortunately, he kills all evil people."
After asking the old monk, it turned out that there was indeed a huge red pine forest near the Crock Temple as Qiu Xiaoyi said, stretching for dozens of miles. It was so remote that it was impossible to get through in a day.
After resting all night in the temple, Sun Lei stood outside the Crock Temple with a torch early the next morning.
"Senior brother, you can't! This Earthen Pot Temple has been here for decades and we can't burn it down!"
The old monk knelt on the ground and begged Lu Zhishen.
"Why don't you burn it? You old monks are old and weak. How can you keep the temple? This temple has been occupied for a year and no one has taken care of it. It seems that it is not famous anymore and there is no master to look after it. There will definitely be strong men coming to take over this place after we leave. Aren't you afraid of doing something wrong by protecting us like this?"
Sun Lei looked at those old monks and was so stubborn that he wanted to burn down the temple. He hugged the temple and said that he wanted to live together or die together.
"Brother, I think we should forget about it."
Lu Zhishen felt a little soft-hearted when he saw the old monks kneeling down to beg for mercy.
"Forget it, monks don't pay attention to the four elements. I think it's worse than lay people to value external things so much. You old monks just sit back and watch evil people do evil in the temple without stopping them. They are also riddled with evil. After death, I'm afraid they will go to the mountain of swords. Oil pan.”
"I just happened to burn down the temple, and you went to die in the fire. I can help you burn some of your sins and save you!"
As soon as Sun Lei threw the torch, the temple that had been covered with kindling materials suddenly burst into flames. It was sunny during this period, and the temple was very dry, so it was easy to catch fire.
A small, remote temple like the Crock Temple is not cared for by a large temple and relies entirely on donations from passers-by. It is now so dilapidated that even the incense has been cut off. It will still be a den of thieves if it is not burned down.
When those old monks saw that the temple was on fire, how could they dare to say anything about whether they would live or die with the temple? Their steps were vigorous and they ran faster than Lu Zhishen.
"These old guys, who were crying and fussing just now, can run really fast now."
Sun Lei looked at the old monks and said, last night they searched Cui Daocheng and Qiu Xiaoyi's old house, and indeed they gathered a lot of money. Sun Lei gave the woman some silver coins and asked her to go home and live a good life. The woman gave the old monk some silver and asked them to find another temple to hang up the order. The woman was eager for her husband and went down the mountain in the morning, but the old monk took the money and refused to let him burn it.
"Brother, the Sa family feels something is wrong. Look, I kill people and you set fires. Why do we look like evil people?"
Lu Zhishen touched his bald head and followed Sun Lei down the mountain. He entered the red pine forest and looked back at the Crock Temple, which was full of fire.
"Then monks and Taoist priests must be evil people."
Sun Lei asked Lu Zhishen, and Lu Zhishen nodded. Those monks and Taoist priests are evil people.
"Then this Earthen Pot Temple is a den of thieves, right? Let's kill the thieves, open up the den of thieves, and then set it on fire. Isn't this a heroic act to eliminate violence and bring peace to justice?"
Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen seriously and asked.
"Yes, this is a heroic act!"
Lu Zhishen nodded, led the horse and followed Sun Lei down the mountain to the red pine forest. Today they were going through the red pine forest to Taiyuan Mansion.
"By the way, Master Lu, since we are all heroes, let's find a mountain to dominate the mountain after we send the old lady to find her family. I won't go to Tokyo, and you don't want to go to the Daxiangguo Temple. I'll go up the mountain. Let you take a seat."
Sun Lei then talked to Lu Zhishen about his new idea. Wouldn't it be comfortable for the two of them to find a mountaintop to become kings? How could they do it alone without any help?
"Why do you always think about falling into the grass? Your pure and white body will not be able to get to the shore after falling into the grass."
Lu Zhishen glared at Sun Lei and said.
"What's the point? When we rob the road, we cover our faces and act like masked thieves. No one will recognize us. We can wait until we have had enough time on the mountain before going down the mountain. I guarantee that no one will recognize us."
Sun Lei was very surprised. It wasn't like he had committed a crime and had a gold stamp tattooed on his face. Why couldn't he go to shore? He had many ways to hide his identity.
"Brother, you should go to Tokyo with the Sa family. The right way is to become a monk. You are so thoughtful. If I don't watch, I will definitely become a gangster."
Lu Zhishen stretched out his arm, took Sun Lei's arm, and held it tightly, as if he would not let go of Sun Lei.
"Is this awesome? Are you the governor for nothing? I just mentioned everything that came to my mind without even studying it carefully!"
Sun Lei wanted to take his hand out, but Lu Zhishen's hold was tight, preventing Sun Lei from getting away at all.
"Hmph, it's a good thing that the Sa family didn't encounter such a gangster like you when they were in Weizhou, otherwise many people in Weizhou would have been killed by you!"
Lu Zhishen said righteously, as if he had really caught the criminal thief.
"What does it mean to be poisoned by me? Isn't it the right thing for a good man to go to the mountains to gather for justice, rob homes and houses, and then take out a little money and say that he is robbing the rich to give to the poor? In the end, he eats a big piece of meat and drinks in a big bowl and divides the gold and silver. Isn't this what a good man should do? Are you having a good time?"
Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and said.
"How come you describe the behavior of a good man in such a disgraceful way!"
Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Lei angrily. He liked to make friends with heroes in the world and admired the loyalty of heroes. However, those heroes were immediately changed by what Sun Lei said. The heroes turned into robbers and bandits.
"Did I make a mistake? Isn't that what those so-called heroes do?"
Sun Lei was very unconvinced. He dared to do it and still not let anyone tell him?
