From the chaotic cries of the townspeople, Sun Lei got an idea.
After the defeat of Zengtou City, in order to quickly replenish the losses, they directly looted the surrounding villages, and it was the kind of burning, killing and looting that was close to destruction.
In just a few days, seven or eight villages had been massacred. The surrounding villagers were frightened and went to the state and county governments to report to the officials. The county governments were afraid of Zengtou City and did not dare to take care of it.
The town in front of them has already seen an influx of many surrounding villagers. When the people in these villages and towns heard that Liang Shanbo's army was coming, they thought of running to block the road and beg.
The father-in-law in front of him is the most virtuous and respected father-in-law within ten miles. It was the father-in-law who organized this request for help from Liang Shanbo.
"This matter can be regarded as arising from us, Liangshan, and we, Liangshan, will definitely take care of it to the end!"
Sun Lei looked at the people who were kneeling and begging and said, "We are going to attack Zengtou City anyway, so we should eliminate harm for the people."
"Thank you Sun Dasheng!"
After hearing this, the people shouted in unison and carried out wine, meat and prepared gold and silver.
"Old man, this is unnecessary. Everyone has just suffered a disaster. If I eat and take it at the same time, wouldn't it be like taking advantage of the situation?"
Sun Lei declined the people's kindness. His army was not short of food or pay. If it was short, he would naturally go to the state government to ask for it. There was no need for the people to take it.
"Leader Sun, this is all we have!"
Everyone thought there were too few things, but Sun Lei was not satisfied and said with some fear.
"If the family eats wine and meat, you can take the money back. If the family is short of money, they will go to those bastards to get it!"
Lu Zhishen directly took a cooked pork leg, took a big bite, and said boldly.
Compared to Sun Lei, a arrogant leader, the people were more likely to accept Lu Zhishen, a carefree monk, and hurriedly sent him good wine and meat.
"I want to eat too!"
Li Kui stepped forward and stretched out his hand to grab food. His rough appearance frightened the people, who thought it was the Black Yama that had emerged from somewhere.
"My father-in-law, our army is stationed outside the town and will leave Zengtou City tomorrow."
Sun Lei looked at his father-in-law and said.
"Leader Sun, although our town is not big, we still have houses. All the heroes should come into the town!"
The old man said quickly.
"The army is so large that it might disturb the people, so we should stay outside the town."
Sun Lei shook his head. He had more than 10,000 troops, and they had poured into such a small town and they still didn't fill it up.
Tao Zongwang and his men quickly set up the camp.
"Master Lu, you are so rude. You ate a big pork leg by yourself. The common people can't eat it for a month."
Sun Lei smiled when he saw Lu Zhishen still chewing on the big pig leg.
"The Sa family is a monk, so it is normal for them to accept alms. The common people have been given wine and meat. If the Sa family refuses to eat, it is not a loss of face! Besides, the Sa family will also mark Zengtou market for them tomorrow."
Lu Zhishen said nonchalantly.
"A monk like you is still a monk and accepts alms? Why don't you say that those people cultivate fields of blessing?"
Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen with contempt.
"You just know? I tell you that being a monk has many benefits! This is called forming good karma!"
Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Lei and said.
"Brother, there are two monks outside asking to see you!"
Sister-in-law Gu walked up to Sun Lei and said.
"I just mentioned monks, are you here to ask for help? Give them two cold steamed buns and tell them to go back to where they came from!"
Sun Lei waved his hand.
"Where is your senior brother? The Sa family would like to meet him!"
As a monk, Lu Zhishen still has a good impression of monks.
"Have you seen wild monks too? You're not afraid of meeting ghosts!"
Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and said.
"The monk is a Buddhist, how can he be a ghost?"
Lu Zhishen said disdainfully.
"In this world, people can't tell the difference between humans and ghosts, but a monk can tell the difference?"
Sun Lei glanced at Lu Zhishen.
"Brother, those two monks said they were not here to beg for alms, but that they had something important to tell them."
Sister-in-law Gu said that she wouldn't come to Sun Lei if it was just for alms, so sending away two monks wouldn't be a big deal.
"Call and have a look!"
Sun Lei nodded thoughtfully.
"Look, Buddhist monks are coming to help!"
Lu Zhishen said with a smile.
Two monks walked into the camp under the guidance of Mrs. Gu. One monk was in his forties and the other was in his early twenties. They were wearing ordinary straight-cut monk robes.
"The poor monk pays homage to Leader Sun!"
The middle-aged monk bowed to Sun Lei.
"You don't bow down to me when you see me. Do you look down on me?"
Sun Lei, who was sitting on the tiger skin stool, looked at the two monks and scolded.
When everyone saw Sun Lei suddenly getting angry, they were a little confused. However, since Sun Lei was angry, they should also be angry. This was how brothers worked together and glared at the two monks fiercely.
"You two bald donkeys are looking for death. Let me chop you up. Yeah!"
Li Kui raised his ax and looked at the two monks fiercely and started yelling, but he seemed to be pointing at Lu Zhishen both inside and outside of his words, which made Lu Zhishen's face turn dark.
"The young monk pays homage to King Sun!"
The two monks were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Tell me, what do you want from me? I am not a monk!"
Sun Lei looked at the two monks and asked.
"Your Majesty, the young monk is the supervisor of the Fahua Temple in the east of Zengtou City. The five tigers of the Zeng family have recently been to the temple to perform rituals. They ask for gold, silver, wealth, and silk. They do whatever they want. The young monk knows his whereabouts and has come here to pay homage. Invite the leader to go into the stronghold and eliminate him, you will be lucky."
The two monks lay on the ground and said sincerely.
After hearing the words of the two monks, everyone narrowed their eyes slightly with different expressions. They all looked at the two monks. Although they were reporting information and leading the way, they sounded a little suspicious.
"You are monks. Monks are compassionate and save all sentient beings. If they ask for money, just give them money. Who hasn't said it before? If someone slaps you on the left cheek, you should slap the right cheek against them, and then give them money. Give me a slap!"
Sun Lei looked at the two monks and smiled.
"Who is so mean? One slap is not enough, so you have to give me another slap?"
Bao Xu muttered, his voice was a bit loud, making everyone laugh.
The two monks were confused by the strange atmosphere and the incoherent words. This was different from the answer they thought. The people in Liangshan in front of them should be excited to ask them about the situation in Zengtou City and how to break Zengtou City.
"As a monk, money is something external to the body. You are just looking at it. Holding resentment is called rebellion. Asking me to kill Zengtou City is breaking the law of killing. Do you understand the rules and regulations?"
Sun Lei looked at the two monks and asked.
"Zengtou City also kills people!"
The young monk said hurriedly.
"Then why don't you go recite sutras to save the dead? By the way, what sutras do you monks recite to save the souls of the dead?"
Sun Lei suddenly interrupted and asked.
"this……"
The two monks couldn't answer.
"Yi Jin Jing, right?"
Sun Lei narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Yes, "Yi Jin Jing"!"
The two monks nodded quickly.
"Then you read two paragraphs and listen, and I will learn from them."
Sun Lei looked at the two fake monks and laughed.
"Isn't it necessary to recite the Lotus Sutra and the Diamond Sutra for salvation? What kind of sutra is this Sutra of Changes?"
Lu Zhishen touched his bald head and became confused. He had been a monk for so long and was considered proficient in Buddhism. The sutras recited by monks all over the world were similar, but there were sutras he had never heard of.
