Chapter 217: You said to burn Buddha statues, of course, to find relics
After hearing that the Taoist priests from the Taishi Bureau had knocked on the door, Monk Zhishi did not bother to ask Monk Jizang for instructions. He hurriedly bowed to the paper bird and ran out quickly.
Just when he arrived at the front yard, he saw a Taoist priest in white kicking a Zhike monk into the air. His body rolled several times in the air and fell in front of him.
Immediately, Monk Zhishi felt his blood boiling. The last words that Monk Jizang said just now asking him to hand over the favor were directly thrown out of his mind.
He took a step forward, lowered his head and helped Zhike Monk up on the ground, and looked angrily at the white-robed Taoist priest in front of him.
"Who are you and why are you committing murder here?"
"I am the supervisor of Taishi Bureau, the Quanzhen sect of Neidan, Qingweizi!"
The Taoist priest in white raised his hand and saluted to Jishou gracefully.
"As for why I beat him, of course it was because he prevented Pindao from going in to arrest the demon monk Master Atu who dared to slander Master Qingxia and hurt me, a subordinate of the Taishi Bureau."
"He just stopped you, and you were so cruel?"
Monk Zhishi suddenly stepped forward, stood in front of Kong Qing, and spoke impassionedly.
"The poor monk is also standing in front of you. Come on, beat the poor monk together!"
boom!
As soon as Monk Zhishi finished speaking, the Taoist priest in white punched him in the face unceremoniously, giving him a black eye.
Boo!
Monk Zhishi felt like the world was spinning and he fell straight down, hitting the ground with a muffled sound.
In the haziness, Monk Zhishi still heard the voice of the Taoist priest in white.
"Everyone has heard it. He asked Pindao to beat him. Pindao loves the beauty of adulthood the most. Since he has this request, Pindao will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't fulfill his request."
Then, he heard a loud noise.
"The little fairy is right..."
"You are looking for a fight, who can blame you?"
"Well played!"
"color!"
"..."
"Pindao, let me say it one last time..."
After knocking down Monk Zhishi with one fist, Kong Qing put his hands behind his back and said to the monks present.
"Hurry up and hand over Master Atuo to Pindao. Otherwise, don't say Pindao didn't predict what he said."
"We don't pay..."
Before those monks could speak, Monk Zhishi, who fell to the ground, had already opened his eyes and spoke firmly.
"Leave aside the fact that Master Atu has not violated any national laws. Even if he has violated national laws, he should be arrested by the Department of Justice. Why do you, the Taishi Bureau, do it for you?"
"That Pindao's subordinates in the Taishi Bureau did not violate any national laws,"
Kong Qing had a sneer on his face and looked down at Monk Zhishi.
"Why did Master Atu want to kill her? Could it be that only you monks are allowed to do the first year of junior high school, and I, a poor Taoist, can't do the fifteenth?"
"But Master Atu was invited by Wei Qingsi's family order..."
Before Monk Zhishi could finish what he said, Kong Qing interrupted him rudely.
"So you mean the real culprit who attempted to murder Pindao's subordinate was Wei Qingsi, right... Well, since you said so, Pindao will definitely satisfy you. After finding Master Atu, Pindao will bring him
He went to Wei Qingsi to settle the score."
"no……"
Although Monk Zhishi's head is still buzzing, he is still somewhat sensible.
"That's not what the poor monk meant."
Kong Qing's mouth curled up.
"Then what do you mean?"
Monk Zhishi said with difficulty while standing up with the help of several monks around him.
"Master Atu just went to conquer demons. He didn't know that the monster was from your Taishi Bureau..."
Snapped!
Kong Qing snapped his fingers expressionlessly, and a somewhat panicked woman's voice suddenly appeared out of thin air.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even the Taishi Bureau said that the Nu family is not a monster. Do you think you are more powerful than the Taishi Bureau?"
The sound was extremely clear, and all the people present could hear it clearly.
Then, another rough, very recognizable voice sounded.
"What is the Taishi Bureau? Hahahaha... Am I still afraid of them, Lord Buddha? If you have the guts, let them come out and fight with Lord Buddha for 300 rounds."
Snapped!
Kong Qing snapped his fingers again, and the sound immediately disappeared without a trace. Then he looked at Monk Zhishi expressionlessly.
"Come on, tell Pindao again, doesn't Master Atu know that the person he wants to kill is someone from our Taishi Bureau?"
Before Monk Zhishi could speak, a navy fox had already said something strange in the crowd.
"Oh my god... I usually think that the eminent monks in these monasteries are all moral gentlemen and don't lie when they speak. It turns out that they are all lies one by one. It's really disappointing..."
"It's not..."
Another navy fox came out to set the pace.
"That monk Huijing just now didn't speak a word of truth. Now this young monk is like this too. Alas..."
Because of the lessons learned from the previous monk Huijing, Shui Junhu easily steered the wind in the wrong direction this time.
"Yes, these monks lie with all their mouths..."
"Can this person also be called an eminent monk?"
"..."
Hearing the discussions of the idle people around him, Monk Zhishi felt a little panicked for a moment and didn't know what to say.
"Don't you have anything to say? Then it's time for you to be ignorant..."
Kong Qing looked at Monk Zhishi whose face had changed color and waved his hand.
"Rush in and find Master Atu."
Just as Kong Qing finished speaking, a woman in a pink skirt standing among the idlers started to raise her arms and shout.
"Break Ganquan Temple and capture Master Atu alive!"
Then, those idle people watching the excitement also raised their arms and shouted.
"Break Ganquan Temple and capture Master Atu alive!"
Amidst the passionate shouts, the Taoist priest behind Kong Qing rushed out waving sticks and began to repeat what he had done at Liquan Temple, such as beating the monks, searching for Buddhist scriptures and burning them, smashing all the Buddha statues, and so on.
The shouting became louder and louder, and finally passed through the front yard of Ganquan Temple and fell on the ears of Master Atu who was hiding in the backyard. In an instant, his expression changed.
If Master Atu was still ignorant and fearless before, and felt that the Taishi Bureau was nothing compared to the huge Buddhist sect, and they did not dare to do anything to him, then he now knows the truth.
Perhaps the Taishi Bureau is not powerful to Buddhism, but to oneself, it is a behemoth.
Not to mention anything else, he had absolutely no chance of winning against the woman in white in the morning. Even now when he thought about her unpredictable movements, his heart still trembled.
He turned around twice on the ground, hit the palm of his hand with his fist, and made his decision.
"No, the temple of Sanlunzong is not safe either. The poor monk still has to leave as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, Master Atu quietly opened the door, avoiding the eyes of the monks from Ganquan Temple, quietly slipped to the corner, jumped up, jumped over the wall, and left Ganquan Temple.
But Master Atu, who was avoiding the gaze of the monk from Ganquan Temple, did not see a little kitten licking his paws where he jumped over the wall, with a pair of beautiful big eyes paying attention to him without blinking.
.
Then, the little cat pressed his hand on something that looked like a badge on his chest.
"Ouch!"
At the same time, Kong Qing, who was standing in the front yard of Ganquan Temple with his hands behind his back, suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a mysterious smile.
"You... you..."
At this time, the rising star of the Sanlunzong, the young monk Zhishi who had just been crowned monk, looked at the Taoist priests around him acting like wolves and tigers, with an angry expression on his face.
"What are you doing?"
"Can't you see?"
Kong Qing blinked and said to Monk Zhishi.
"Looking for Master Atu!"
"How can this be……"
Monk Zhishi pointed with trembling hands at a Taoist priest who had just walked by holding a stack of Buddhist scriptures and then threw the Buddhist scriptures in his hand to the side of the yard.
"Since we are looking for Master Atu, what is he going to do with the scriptures?"
"Of course we need to check carefully..."
Kong Qing answered directly without blinking.
"After all, you Buddhist monks may know some magic spells that can be hidden in scriptures."
"What nonsense?"
Monk Zhishi was trembling with anger.
"How can I, a Buddhist, have this kind of magic..."
"That's hard to say..."
Kong Qing spread his hands.
"Don't you say that Sumeru can be hidden in a meson? Even Sumeru can be hidden in a meson. Isn't it even easier for a living person to hide in a book?"
"Xumi Meson... Is this how Xumi Meson explained it?"
Monk Zhishi's face turned red with anger at Kong Qing's words.
"And I really don't have a Buddhist background...wait a minute!"
Monk Zhishi suddenly rushed towards the place where the scriptures were piled next to him.
"What are you going to do? You can't burn..."
boom!
Just as Monk Zhishi had taken two steps forward, he felt a lump of garlic beneath his feet. He seemed to have tripped over something and fell to the ground. He could only watch helplessly as the Taoist priest dropped the lit Huozhezi in his hand.
On a pile of scriptures.
boom!
The fire broke out and the scriptures were instantly engulfed in flames.
Monk Zhishi, who was lying on the ground, suddenly felt like his heart was piercing into a knife. He beat the ground with his hands and shouted in pain.
"Look what you have done..."
"Looking for Master Atu!"
Kong Qing replied without hesitation.
"As you can see, time is tight and the task is heavy. We don't have time to check whether Master Atu has hidden in these scriptures one by one, page by page, word by word. We can only use the simplest method.
The quickest way is to burn him with fire and force him to show up."
After hearing what Kong Qing said, Monk Zhishi, who was lying on the ground, immediately looked at Kong Qing blankly.
He really didn't expect that the handsome Taoist priest in front of him was so beautiful on the outside, but failed on the inside.
Does nonsense come from the mouth?
"The poor monk said that I don't have any magic to hide books in Buddhism!"
"Then who knows..."
Kong Qing continued to frame him without hesitation.
"During the Sui Dynasty, didn't you monks shout and immobilize the people on the other side, and then go up and do whatever you want, robbing and obscene things... You Buddhists even have such shameless spells, and there are many spells hidden in books.
Something?"
Before Monk Zhishi could refute the rumor, the voice of Shui Junhu suddenly came from the crowd.
"It seems to be true. When I was a child, I heard my mother say that monks were robbing people on the street. If you shout, no one will move."
"Yeah yeah!"
Another navy fox followed and said.
"Later, the monks wanted to use this spell to kill the saints and change the dynasty. After the failure, people were beheaded in Daxing City for more than a month."
The two navy foxes reminded the old residents of Chang'an City present that they also thought about it.
"Indeed, it seems that there was such a thing back then, and many people were beheaded..."
"It seems that when I was a child, I heard about monks robbing..."
"Oh, it sounds scary to say that!"
"..."
Hearing the discussion of these idlers, Monk Zhishi, who was lying on the ground, felt impatient and angry. But before he could think of how to explain, he saw a Taoist priest dragging a wooden statue of Buddha from the room.
came out, then raised his hand...
puff!
The Buddha statue fell into the fire, throwing up sparks.
"ah……"
Monk Zhishi shouted, then rolled and crawled towards the fire.
"You...what are you doing? Do you need to find someone to do these things?"
"this……"
Kong Qing touched his nose with his hand.
"Actually, we have always heard that Buddha could burn relics, but we have never seen it, so we all want to see it."
"What are you talking about?"
Monk Zhishi rushed to the fire, pulled out the unlit wooden statue from the fire, lovingly wiped the blackened color on it with his monk's robe, and said angrily.
"How can this Buddha statue be burned to produce relics?"
"oh!"
Kong Qing looked suddenly enlightened and nodded.
"It turns out this statue can't be burned out..."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and pointed at several wooden Buddha statues placed in the hall in front.
"You guys, go take those statues out and try burning them..."
Monk Zhishi looked at Kong Qing blankly. For some reason, the deep voice of Monk Jizang suddenly came to mind.
"Please give it to someone. Our Sanlunzong doesn't have many temples in Chang'an and we can't afford the loss."
