"Fahai, what are you doing here to find me?"
Li Xiuyuan, who was wearing a slovenly robe and holding a huge dog leg in his hand, was dipping it in garlic paste and gnawing it. He looked at Fahai who appeared in front of him with a look of disdain.
Li Xiuyuan has always disliked this hypocritical guy.
Don't talk about him, even among the Buddhists in this world, Li Xiuyuan doesn't like many.
Of course, except for Guanyin who kept showing up to help others solve their problems, he looked down on everyone else.
Each one is decorated with brocade silk and satin, the bed is tall and wide, and there are cigarette smoke everywhere between moving, sitting and lying down.
He doesn't look like a serious monk at all, but more like one of those evil monks who practice Joyful Zen.
But the serious monks who practice Joy Zen are trying to fight against the temptation of lust.
As for these monks in this world, they are monks who have completely failed in resisting temptation. In his opinion, those people are evil monks.
One or two, all of them didn't have enough to eat, and each of them said that they must adhere to this or that kind of commandment. , but one of them enjoys more food than the other, and one is greedy for sex than the other. Moreover, these people talk about fasting, but after leaving the temple, many people go directly to drink.
Therefore, these monks have violated almost all the precepts. Only a very small number of monks are serious monks, and those monks are not in these big temples.
The monks in the big temples may talk about scriptures in great detail, but few of them are true monks.
As for Fahai, this person takes hatred too seriously. He thinks he has no obsessions anymore, but in fact, Fahai also has the most obsessions.
Moreover, Fa Hai is the kind of person who will retaliate even when he is angry. He can remember even a small grudge for thousands of years. This kind of person, even if he has practiced Buddhism for thousands of years, there is no way to become a real monk.
Therefore, Li Xiuyuan disliked these people very much. If it were not for the previous world, he would have become a monk in Lingyin Temple.
He will not be present in these temples at all now.
"The people here are not real monks."
This sentence was what Li Xiuyuan kept repeating in his mouth.
Fahai immediately made a single palm salute as soon as he saw Li Xiuyuan.
"Fahai has met senior brother!"
"No, I'm not your senior brother. You can call me monk, but I'm not your senior brother!"
As soon as Li Xiuyuan heard Fahai's call, his senior brother immediately became unwilling. He didn't want to have anything to do with these people.
"Tell me, if you have anything to do, come see me. You are a guy who doesn't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything!"
Li Xiuyuan saw that Fa Hai was in tatters, with only an alms bowl in his hand, and even his nine-ring tin staff was missing. He knew something had happened to this guy and couldn't settle it, so he ran over to find him.
"Senior Brother, Junior Brother, I am in great trouble!"
Fahai immediately took two steps forward and knelt down next to Li Xiuyuan, looking like a junior!
"Don't kneel down. I am not your senior brother, and you are not my wetland. Although we are both monks, we still have to draw a clear line between you and me! You guys are not from the same group as me!"
Li Xiuyuan waved his fan and fixed Fahai in place.
"Tell me, what's the matter? Since you asked me, if I can help you, I will naturally do it to make me a kind person. However, you need to donate 500,000 stones of food and 5,000 acres of fields. Give it to those refugees from the north! If you do this, I will help you deal with it. If you can’t do it, then don’t open your mouth!"
If Li Xiuyuan wanted to take action, it would naturally not be because of these two sentences, senior fellow apprentice or others asking him to be kind, but he would not be kind to the monk.
Because in his opinion, all the monks in this world are not good people.
The reason why he helps people is very simple, that is, to let these people donate their food, money, and fields to help others. Only in this way will he help.
"Everything depends on senior brother. As long as senior brother can save me, Jinshan Temple, I, Jinshan Temple, will naturally be willing to donate 500,000 shi of grain and 5,000 acres of fertile land!"
Although there are 500,000 shi of grain and 5,000 acres of fertile land, in fact, for Jinshan Temple, a Buddhist holy land in the south of the Yangtze River, this is just a drop in the bucket, and it will not cause them any pain at all.
At least 80% of the entire fields in Zhenjiang belong to their Jinshan Temple, so he can really take out these things.
Li Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes when he heard this. He didn't expect Jinshan Temple to be so wealthy. This was not something that a normal temple could provide.
If the other party hadn't promised to take out these things, Li Xiuyuan would have wanted to kill people now. He even wanted to destroy Jinshan Temple and then take all the property and distribute it to the poor.
Cowardly people. It seemed like a lot of effort, but in fact it was also a very hard life. Because the Song Dynasty did not restrict land annexation, the rich people had endless land, while the poor people had no land to stand on.
Under such circumstances, peasant uprisings also occurred one after another in the Song Dynasty, so the bottom class of society did not live a very good life.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that those people in the Song Dynasty kept harvesting the fields, and the Song Dynasty had no means of disaster relief at all. The only thing they could do during disaster relief was to turn the victims into soldiers.
Then the land in the hands of these disaster victims will be purchased at a low price by local large landowners or powerful people, and these land purchased at a low price will also disappear from the fish scale book for various reasons and become ownerless wasteland.
Together, these can be seen as the reasons for the demise of the Song Dynasty.
Although Li Xiuyuan didn't understand this, he knew very well that if there were enough people among the people, they could survive, so he simply wanted those people to survive. As for dealing with these problems in the Song Dynasty, he didn't think at all. Passed.
He can save people, but he cannot save the country. Everything he does is just to let more people survive in this chaotic world.
Therefore, Li Xiuyuan didn't have a good look at Fahai who could provide so much grain and land, because in his opinion, a monk who had so much land and grain would definitely not be a good person.
"Okay, let's talk about what went wrong with you this time. With the power of Jinshan Temple and those incense statues, there is no way there will be any problems. Even if several big demon kings in this world join forces, I can’t even break into your Jinshan Temple! So, what’s wrong with you?”
Although Li Xiuyuan looked down upon Fahai, Jinshan Temple, and even Buddhism in this world, he was still very optimistic about the abilities of these monks, because he could clearly sense that there was another world above this world. That world was very strong, and there were many people who were stronger than him.
So he didn't have any regard for Buddhism in this world, he just looked down upon it. At most, he just blackmailed those monks when doing things.
Ignore everything else.
Now that he has collected the money, he naturally has to do something. As for whether the other party will default on the payment after he finishes the thing, he is not worried, because in the world, he can say that he is invincible.
"Buddhism is going to be in catastrophe!"
Fahai opened his mouth and made a shocking statement first, "The imperial court in the world is going to destroy the Buddha! The generals from the imperial court have arrived at my Jinshan Temple."
Fahai directly connected the incident at Jinshan Temple with Buddhism as a whole. He said this just to imitate the ancient lobbyists, who first made shocking remarks and then slowly said everything.
This is a very typical lobbyist method. Fahai has also lived for thousands of years and is very familiar with these methods.
Furthermore, it is not wrong to say that he wants to attack Buddhism, because his status in Buddhism is extraordinary. He was already a monk 1,700 years ago, and at that time, Chi County There are not even a single Buddhist in China!
Therefore, Fa Hai can be said to be the first monk in Chi County, China, but his talent is not high.
But his seniority is very high. After all, he is the first monk in Chi County, China. Therefore, touching the sea of fa is equivalent to touching Buddhism!
So there is nothing wrong with this understanding.
However, in Li Xiuyuan's view, you, Fahai, are just changing your opinions. Just like Jinshan Temple, it is just a Jinshan Temple and has nothing to do with Buddhism as a whole!
"Fart! You said that Buddhism is going to be in catastrophe, and that the human court is going to destroy Buddhism. Then why don't we, Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, have any news? You know, we are in Hangzhou City, and the human court is going to destroy Buddhism. What kind of thing, we were the first to know about it, so why didn’t we receive the news about destroying the Buddha?”
Lingyin Temple is right next to the West Lake. Their status is now equivalent to that of the Daxiangguo Temple. They are the first to know what kind of news is used, but now they have not received any news at all, so Li Xiuyuan was very sure that this matter belonged to the Jinshan Temple family.
"But the generals from the imperial court did arrive at our Jinshan Temple, broke down the gate, and massacred the monks!"
Li Xiuyuan looked at Fahai who looked sincere and said, "Even if what you said is true, then why did the generals of the imperial court go to your Jinshan Temple instead of our Lingyin Temple? I think it was you who did something to make the imperial court disgusted. Is that the case?"
Li Xiuyuan knew very well how Buddhism could expand its influence. It was probably the Jinshan Temple who took under his sect a gangster, and one of them put down his butcher's knife and became a Buddha immediately!
Li Xiuyuan dislikes this kind of thing very much, because in his opinion, if you can become a Buddha by putting down the butcher's knife, then what are the people who were killed before you put down the butcher's knife?
"We, our Jinshan Temple did not recruit robbers, we just accepted a rich kid whose family was ruined!"
Fahai was telling the truth. They did not recruit any criminal thieves. After all, it would look bad if Jinshan Temple accepted such criminal thieves, so they usually handed them over to subordinate temples to collect them!
"Tell me, is your Jinshan Temple taking in a kid from a rich family, or a kid from a rich family whose family has been ruined? A kid from a rich family who can make the imperial court send generals to hunt down must have committed a serious crime. And during this period, people who really committed serious crimes There is only one wealthy family and that is the Qin Hui family. You are so brave. You dare to take in Qin Hui's son. Do you know that Qin Hui rebelled? His son is also a rebel. You dare to take him in because you want to be with the world. Is there a war in the imperial court?"
Li Xiuyuan's expression was very serious. As a person from other worlds, he knew very well what Qin Hui was.
If he hadn't changed the world too much, he would have wanted to deal with Qin Hui himself.
However, news suddenly came out a few days ago that Qin Hui rebelled and his whole family was killed. Only one son escaped. Now Fahai said that he had taken in a rich man whose family was ruined!
Then this person is 100% the son of Qin Hui who escaped.
In this case, it is completely because Jinshan Temple himself died long ago!
"Your Jinshan Temple took in Qin Hui's son. This is a way of seeking death. Why did you take him in? Don't you know? Once he is taken into your temple, what impact will it have on you? What impact will it have on you? What impact will it have on Buddhism as a whole? You said that the imperial court in the world wants to destroy Buddhism, but I say you deserve it!"
Li Xiuyuan drank another gourd of wine and looked at Fa Hai with drunken eyes. He really couldn't stand this idiot. He actually took Qin Hui's son into the temple. He was not looking for death like this!
Judging from the fact that the court has begun to massacre corrupt officials in the city, Jinshan is doing this to rebel, and it is colluding with the Jin army in the north to change the dynasty!
Under such circumstances, how could the imperial court accommodate Jinshan Temple?
"My family has been ruined. In addition, Master Qin was kind to our Buddhist sect back then, so I still have to protect the lives of his descendants. I am here to continue to sacrifice people!"
Fa Hai came up with an excuse, that is, ancient wise kings never stopped offering sacrifices to others!
"Those who govern the world with filial piety will not harm others' relatives; those who govern the world with benevolence will not stop people from worshiping them! This is a model of ancient wise kings. We at Jinshan Temple are also doing this to share the worries of the imperial court!"
Fa Hai said it again, what Chen Gong said to Cao Cao back then can be regarded as Chen Gong's last words.
"When have you, people from outside the country, been needed to share the worries of the court? You haven't always said that you are people from outside the country and have already been born, so why are you now saying that you want to share the worries of the court?"
When Fahai heard this, he immediately turned around to see who had said this, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Lu Bu, who should still be at Jinshan Temple, appearing in front of him!
"You...you...how did you appear here? Aren't you supposed to be at Jinshan Temple? With that Buddha statue? How did you end up here!"
Lu Bu looked at Fa Hai, "Of course I came to find you. My goal was you. If you were at Jinshan Temple, I would naturally be there too. Now that you have come to Lingyin Temple, I will naturally come too!"
After speaking, Lu Bu looked at Li Xiuyuan again, "It's just that I didn't expect that Monk Daoji would actually appear here?"
