In the blink of an eye, the one-year period of experience is coming. After preaching Buddhism in a town, Wu Fan also plans to return to Lingjue Temple, concentrate on practice, and digest the insights of this year.
During this year, there was no fighting or killing, and Wu Fan became an ascetic preaching Buddhism.
Every time he went to a village or a town, he would help these mortals solve their doubts on the streets. As he taught more and more Dharma, his own understanding of Buddhism and Buddhist principles became more and more profound, and his cultivation also improved by leaps and bounds. The third level of Qi training that just came out of the mountain has directly entered the ninth level of Qi training and the Dzogchen state.
After going back this time and thoroughly digesting what you did and felt, you can overcome the tribulation and enter the blood coagulation realm.
Before leaving, Wu Fan couldn't help but think of his great mother, Zhang Dashan, whom he had never met, and the Wu family scholar who was in high school. He decided to take a look before going back.
When Wu Fan came to Zhangjia Town again with expectations, he was at a loss what he saw. In the past, although the townspeople lived a difficult life, everyone was happy. The entire town was in order in all aspects, and everyone was happy. Everyone performs their duties.
But now there are less than a hundred people in the whole town, all of them are old, weak, sick and disabled people. No one is doing small business on the street anymore. The Zhang Family Medicine Hall up there no longer has the constant flow of people in the past, and the door is closed close.
The entire town seemed to be in a state of dilapidation and depression as if it had suffered a terrible plague. All the items of the original vendors were scattered in the streets and alleys, and some rats would even crawl out of it from time to time.
"Amitabha!" Wu Fan was shocked and incomprehensible. He quickly ran to an old man leaning against the door not far away, his eyes dull, and asked: "This donor, why is Zhangjiazhen like this?"
Even after asking several times, the old man didn't respond at all. Wu Fan ducked to the door of Zhang's house and landed in Zhang's house.
However, what came into view was dozens of corpses, displayed in various directions on the ground, including many women and children. Without exception, these corpses were rotten and covered with maggots...
At that moment, Wu Fan's eyes instantly turned red.
In this situation, he could already imagine the scene at that time. Someone must have invaded Zhangjia Town. In order to protect the townspeople, the militia group in the town used the Zhang family mansion to resist, but after all, they were just militiamen. His weapons are only farm tools, how can he defeat him?
"Who is it?!"
A sound of Buddha's anger shook the sky. Wu Fan crushed the courtyard with his foot and buried the corpses on the ground. He then searched the entire Zhang family but could not find the body of Zhang Dashan.
The amulet given to Mr. Zhang Dashan at the beginning can heal ordinary knife wounds as long as he does not encounter practitioners or monsters. If Mr. Zhang Dashan really carried it with him and was lucky enough not to be decapitated, the clone would have survived. Opportunity.
Stepping out of the town, Wu Fan went straight to the village where old lady Lin was. Now he only hoped that the poor village with many old and weak people would not be favored by this group of people. As for the people in the town, they could only wait and wait. We will sort out the matter this time and make arrangements separately.
Running wildly in the forest, Wufan's body was filled with rage, and his heart was even more restless. Suddenly, there was a sound from a bush in the forest.
"who is it!"
With a shout, Wu Fan raised his palm and struck at it. The strong wind blew the bush into pieces. When he saw an unkempt and ragged 'savage', he quickly closed his palm and turned around to settle down. .
"You are... Mr. Zhang!" When he saw the 'savage' running away in panic with an amulet exposed around his neck, Wu Fan confirmed his identity. It was Zhang Dashan who was praised by everyone a year ago.
"Don't come here...don't kill me...you all take it away...take it all away...don't kill anyone anymore..." In a panic, Mr. Zhang got up and started to run, but Wu Fan caught him tightly.
A trace of spiritual power entered Mr. Zhang's body. Wu Fan recited scriptures and helped Mr. Zhang stabilize. He quickly asked: "Donor Zhang...Donor Zhang, why is Zhangjia Town like this? Then Donor Lin, can you still be here now?" well?"
"Dead...dead...all dead..." Mr. Zhang still couldn't hold it back and sat down on the ground, crying loudly.
Buzz!
For a moment, Wu Fan's mind was buzzing. Without thinking, he picked up Mr. Zhang on his back and ran towards the small village.
"Woooo..."
The wind blew and picked up the fallen leaves that had not been taken care of for a long time, revealing the black ash remnants. The original village was not alive at all. It was all reduced to ashes in a fire, and people were also buried in the sea of fire. It's hard to find any traces.
"Little monk, let me down!" At this time, Mr. Zhang had stabilized and signaled Wu Fan to put him down. He looked at the scene in front of him and burst into tears...
It turns out that after the county magistrate Wu Yun issued the first policy to increase taxes, within seven days, another policy was issued. This time it was not to increase taxes, but to directly let wealthy merchants take the money. After that, it took almost three to five days. It is a policy, and everyone is asking for money...
At the beginning, Magistrate Wu would make all kinds of excuses to build roads, renovate historical sites, renovate government buildings... In the end, he didn't even have any excuses, and just cut off the flesh of the wealthy businessmen one by one. He could still support it at the beginning, but It's only been half a year, and no one can stand it any longer.
In the end, even the poor people could not escape, and they imposed excessive taxes, even on the income gained from hunting in the mountains. Within half a year, the entire Caoshan County was in a state of restlessness, the people were in dire straits, and the fields were abandoned...
The villagers were really overwhelmed. The wealthy businessmen originally took the lead to negotiate with the county magistrate, but the county magistrate turned away and let anyone go. The good ones were kicked out, and the bad ones were beaten to death.
Later, the villagers had no choice but to go to Mrs. Lin's house, hoping that Mrs. Lin would come forward and ask the county magistrate to be merciful, so that everyone could survive. This was forcing people to die.
What a shame that Wu County magistrate had such a cruel face that he didn't even spare his own mother. He was beaten severely that day and was driven back. He didn't even see Wu County Magistrate's face, and he couldn't afford to be sick ever since. , fortunately the villagers did not spread their hatred on her.
Later, the villagers from Shili and Baxiang were really desperate and sued the county magistrate. Unexpectedly, the magistrate actually colluded with the county magistrate and colluded with him. Not only did he drive the villagers back, he also introduced a Damazhai to the county magistrate. .
There are more than a thousand people in Damazhai, and they are the largest group of bandits in Caoshan County. They specialize in killing people and selling goods. The traders who come and go suffer greatly. Since then, Damazhai has sent people to guard the people entering and leaving Caoshan County. All intersections completely cut off the connection between the ten miles and eight villages and the outside world, and the villagers who went to inform the county were all beheaded by the county magistrate without exception.
In this way, the villagers survived until a month ago...
A gold mine suddenly appeared in Caoshan County a month ago. It should have been reported to the court. However, in order to line their own pockets, the county magistrate and magistrate united with Damazhai to arrest people from various villages and towns to mine gold. In some villages and towns, even the elderly and semi-officials were involved. The older children were not spared.
After arriving in Zhangjia Town, the villagers knew that they would definitely die if they went to the mine, so they decided to fight to the death. They gathered villagers from more than a dozen surrounding villages and gathered at Mr. Zhang's house to make a final resistance.
However, the strength gap between the two sides was too great. After dozens of militiamen were killed, the bandits from Damazhai captured Mr. Zhang. The villagers did not want Mr. Zhang to be killed, so they gave up their resistance and were all taken to the mine, leaving only Mr. Zhang behind. Get rid of the old, weak, sick and disabled who are really useless.
What the villagers didn't expect was that Mr. Zhang was stabbed to death by the bandits in the end.
Fortunately, there was that amulet. That night, after Mr. Zhang woke up among the dead, he ran to the mountains overnight, trying to get out of the mountains and seek help.
It’s just that there is no way for Mr. Zhang to get out. There are many misty beasts in the mountains. He lost his way within a few days of entering the mountains. In the end, he could only wander around the official road, hoping that someone could pass by and bring out the news here. As long as there is news about the gold mine, If it can be spread, the court will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it.
Until Wu Fan appeared, Master Zhang didn't wait for anyone to pass by. There were very few people coming and going in this kind of rural village, not to mention that all the checkpoints were blocked by the people from Damazhai.
"Then how could this place be burned down??" Upon hearing this, Wu Fan was already furious and wished he could strike Wu Yun with one palm.
"Hey..." Mr. Zhang sighed and said: "When the villagers spontaneously gathered in the town, the people from Damazhai arrived here. At that time, the old lady Lin came out to report to her family, hoping that the bandits would see her as a The county magistrate spared the people in the village for the sake of his biological mother.
Unexpectedly, the people in Damazhai didn't believe it at all. Old lady Lin was so angry that she cursed a few times, which angered the bandits and burned the village and everyone together. "
At this point, everything came to light. Wu Fan asked about the location of the mine and asked Mr. Zhang to return to the town. After taking care of the remaining villagers, he went straight to the mine and slaughtered all the Damazhai overnight. Even those who were in the village were killed. The bandits at each level were not spared either.
It is worth mentioning that the leader of Damazhai is actually a warrior with a first-level qi training, but he still couldn't make a single move in front of Wu Fan, and was shattered by Wu Fan's punch.
Later, Wu Fan asked the remaining dozen or so villagers to move all the gold mines that had been mined back to the town, and told them that these rights should be used as the cost of restoring the town, and to bury the dead villagers alive.
"boom!"
With a roar, Wu Fan finally destroyed the gold mine and buried it under the mountain forever.
County magistrate's office
"Amitabha! The donor still remembers that he promised to the young monk that if he becomes an official in the future, he will be an honest official, benefit the people, and live up to the kindness of his mother in raising him?"
On the bed, Magistrate Wu suddenly woke up. What he saw was a fat monk covered in blood. The bright red blood dripped from the corner of his clothes drop by drop. Suddenly, his face turned pale with fright, his legs and feet became weak. When he looked at it, he was covered in feces and urine. out.
"Does the donor still remember that he promised to the young monk that if he becomes an official in the future, he will be an honest official, benefit the people, and live up to the kindness of his mother in raising him?"
After waking up in shock, Magistrate Wu rolled out of bed, knelt in front of Wu Fan, and cried, "It's all because of that immortal who forced me... I don't want this..."
"Amitabha! Go to hell to pay your debt!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Fan smashed Magistrate Wu's heavenly spirit with his palm.
