Chapter 25 The Martyrs

One million guan can make Chai Rong look down on him and attack Xiangguo Temple. Xu Xian is even more afraid that he will attack him because of 3 million guan. As soon as Luo Fubang threw Huineng to the ground, Han Chongyun couldn't wait to step forward and question, "Those three

Where did you get the millions of treasures? Hand them over quickly, or I will kill you right now!"

Hui Neng raised his head and said with a smile: "You guys have compiled the accounts so quickly?"

Han Chongyun whipped him, "Stop talking nonsense, hand over the money quickly, or I'll beat you to pieces!"

Huineng lay on the ground and grinned in pain, "Don't do anything. Speaking of which, the poor monk has been in charge of the property in the temple for less than ten years, and he also knows that the copper coins in the temple do not match the account books. I once told the abbot that the abbot

But he said you don’t have to pay too much attention to money and external possessions.”

"This sounds really ironic. Since money is an external possession, why should we accumulate so much!" Xu Xian walked up to him and asked, "I'd like to ask you again, have you been greedy for money? If found out, you

If there is a ghost, then you will lose your head..."

Hui Neng said with a bitter face: "Oh, the emperor has wronged the poor monk to death. How can the poor monk have the courage to covet such a large amount of money? He only started to draw money out in the past two years, and the total is only seven or eight hundred guan, ah

!ah!……"

Han Chongyun was not so polite. He hit Huineng with more than ten whips in succession and beat him until he rolled on the ground without saying a word. Xu Xian grabbed Han Chongyun and persuaded him: "Now that things have happened, there is no need for him to lie. It seems to be true."

If not, it would be better to ask the abbot to ask him."

Wang Pu also said: "This Xiangguo Temple is very old, and there may be a secret underground palace beside it. Even they themselves don't know about it. It's best to find someone knowledgeable to look for it."

Xu Xian slapped his thigh and said, "Speaking of which, I happen to have two knowledgeable people under my command. You go ask the abbot and I will take people to find the secret underground palace."

The two experts Xu Xian was talking about were naturally the brothers Zhao Ke and Zhao Xin who were former tomb robbers. As the descendants of the gold-touching school captain, they should know the secrets of Feng Shui and the ability to find dragons and pinpoints. In Xiaoxiao

It shouldn't be a problem to find a secret passage crypt in Xiangguo Temple.

He fully expected to experience the legendary magic, but unexpectedly, the two men who had just woken up from a hangover talked about the secret technique of Feng Shui, finding dragons and fixing acupoints, but they had never heard of it.

"Without these means, how did you find the tomb?"

Zhao Ke chuckled and said: "Dianzhi is really good at joking. I have to look for a tomb in Guanzhong. If I see a bumpkin, I will dig it directly. Nine times out of ten, I will be able to dig it right. Speaking of Henan, it is far behind. What is inside the bumpkin?"

They were buried with piles of dead bones!"

Xu Xian just pretended that he didn't ask anything. Hundreds of people wearing red scarves were rummaging through Xiangguo Temple. The wells were drained, the floor tiles were warped, and even under the stove, there was no trace.

.

Xu Xian didn't even eat breakfast. After working for a long time, Xu Xian's stomach growled with hunger. He just found a steamed cake in the temple kitchen, filled it with some dried tofu, and sat on the porch, chewing it.

Before I finished eating, I heard a commotion nearby, and I saw several soldiers from the Red Scarf City gathered around, all with red faces, as if they were grabbing something.

"This is mine, this is mine..." Da Kui was like a wild boar that had gone crazy and dragged the people across from him to stagger.

Xu Xian walked over and cursed: "Everyone took a piece of silver yesterday and they were not satisfied, so I gave them all away!"

Several people were obedient, and when they saw Xu Xian coming over, they dispersed and threw their things on the ground.

Looking at the one-foot-tall golden Buddha statue on the ground, Xu Xian couldn't help but curse: "I didn't think I was a good thing at the time, but such a junk thing is worthy of your ruthless snatching, and it's not embarrassing."

As he spoke, he kicked it over. Several people around him quickly shouted to stop but it was too late. The moment Xu Xian's feet came into contact with the Buddha statue, he finally knew where the monks had hidden their money.

Xu Xian also has a golden Buddha statue of similar size in his home. It is made of plaster and only costs ten cents. The one in front of him is obviously not that. It is actually made of copper and is solid.

"ah--"

After letting out a hysterical scream, Xu Xian ignored the pain in his feet and went straight to the Main Hall. Several elderly monks sat cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue. The abbot monk was in the middle, beating the wooden fish slowly and slowly with his eyes.

Close your mouth and mutter something.

Han Chongyun was on the side, holding out his hand and shouting arrogantly: "Hurry up and hand over the money, don't toast and you will be fined."

The abbot monk said calmly: "Haven't all the money been confiscated by you? How can this poor monk still have money?"

"There is clearly a difference of three million yuan from the account. Even if you swallowed the money, I will have to spit it out today!"

Xu Xian limped forward and said, "Brother Han, don't worry, the money has been found."

Han Chongyun was delighted when he heard this: "Seriously? Now I can finally pay the bills. Where is the money?"

"It's right in front of you!" Xu Xian stretched out his hand and pointed at the magnificent Buddha statue in front of him.

Han Chongyun was startled when he heard this, then he walked towards the Buddha statue with a big smile, took out his horizontal knife and struck it hard with the handle. No debris flew around, only a slight crunching sound, "Hahaha... It's solid, even for such a big Buddha statue.

Know how much money can be minted!"

Several old monks who had been very calm all stood up when they saw this. The abbot monk shouted loudly: "This is a Buddha statue, you can't destroy it!" The old voice was full of anger.

"Hmph! So what if I want to destroy it!" Han Chongyun ordered outside the palace: "Brothers, go get ropes and pull this Buddha statue down. Prefect Wang, please ask someone to find some craftsmen to divide this Buddha statue."

The soldiers in front of the temple immediately found a thick rope, climbed directly on the Buddha statue, and put the rope around the neck of the Buddha statue. Several old monks could no longer restrain themselves and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

It's a pity that they are not the great monks with outstanding martial arts in Jin Yong's works. Their old bodies can stumble to the ground with just a slight push, and they are surrounded by several soldiers and unable to move at the base of the wall.

After tying five or six long ropes in a row, nearly a thousand soldiers lined up from the inside to the outside of the temple, shouting slogans loudly and working hard together. The Buddha statue that had been sitting upright for who knows how many years only swayed slightly.

The old monks no longer had the slightest bit of arrogance and calmness. They prostrated themselves on the ground one by one, their heads banging on the ground. Soon there was blood dripping from their foreheads.

"For you, Shangguan, this Buddha statue is worth tens of millions of dollars, but for the poor monks, it is just a place of longing in your heart. Please have mercy on me and spare this Buddha statue because of our devotion to Buddha."

Bar."

Xu Xian wanted to persuade him, but Wang Pu had already said, "Since it is just a Buddha statue, and the clay puppet is painted with gold paint to decorate the facade as magnificently, there is no difference to believers whether it is a clay puppet or a bronze and gold body.

The master used copper to cast the Buddha. From our perspective, it is just stacked copper materials. We have no intention of destroying the Buddha. In fact, we are just dividing the copper materials. The Buddha is the master of creation. He is not limited to shapes. How can we, the common people in this world, do so?

Destroyed.

Could it be that because there are no Buddha statues, Master no longer believes in Buddhism? In the past, the Buddha cut his flesh to feed eagles. Today, there is no need to have a few Buddha statues to help the world. They can save thousands of people from fire and water. Only then can they show the Buddha's great power and compassion and be worthy of the monks.

It took a hundred years to raise money. What do you think, master?"

The blood stains slowly flowed down his forehead and fell very conspicuously on his snow-white beard. The sad look on the face of the abbot monk gradually faded away. He folded his hands and chanted the Buddha's name and stopped talking.

The Buddha statue tilted slowly and was about to fall to the ground. Xu Xian loudly called for everyone in the hall to get out of the way. Unexpectedly, the silent abbot monk suddenly rushed over, holding up his withered hands as if to lift the huge Buddha statue.
