Chapter 236: Fu Yi, the old monk is grateful to your eighth ancestors
"Hmph! As the sage said, today's monks are all arrogant and rebellious, with high self-esteem, insatiable sexual desires, plundering, disorderly transportation, and evil intentions."
An official in purple robes stood in front of the square of Dayun Jing Temple, looking at the large number of bald monks in front of him with disdain.
"Look at your Dayunjing Temple. Although it is known as the Lotus Gate and a place of charity, it turns out that some of the monks in the temple are greedy for money and some are lustful. However, there are none who practice diligently and observe the precepts. They pretend to be sanctimonious on weekdays.
, but Sha Tai saw it all in one go..."
As a result, before he finished speaking, he heard a reluctant and unwilling voice coming from among the bald heads.
"You are just looking for trouble, you are nothing like Sha Tai!"
As soon as these words were spoken, expressions of concern appeared on the faces of the bald heads present.
That's right, this Fu Lingyinsha's method of eliminating people is too outrageous...
Let alone those who violate the precepts themselves, monks who have not violated the precepts actually require that they be familiar with the scriptures to the extent that they can recite a certain word on a certain page backwards and forwards.
How many monks in the world can do such a thing?
"How dare you say that someone is looking for trouble? It's the same method of Sha Tai. Why did this monk Hui Yi pass the Sha Tai, but you all failed?"
The purple-robed man sneered and pointed at a lonely monk standing next to him.
"In the final analysis, you still don't keep the precepts and can't practice diligently. If you are all like Monk Huiyi, how can I be able to defeat you and others today?"
As he spoke, he brushed his sleeves and said with disdain.
"A bunch of guys who are either committing crimes or not being diligent actually dare to make false accusations against me and find trouble with you. It's ridiculous!"
As soon as he said these words, all the monks present turned pale.
However, due to the situation, they did not dare to show any impoliteness to the purple-robed official in front of them. They could only turn their heads one by one and glare at the lonely monk.
The monk Huizhen, who was standing alone and passed Shatai, felt the malicious gazes of other monks and looked confused.
Kong Qing, who was standing next to the man in purple robe, pursed his lips tightly, with a serious look on his face, without squinting his eyes.
He has received professional training and will never laugh no matter how funny he is.
"Dozens of monks were eliminated, but in the end there was only one real monk, and there were many criminals. This shows how the so-called good place of Buddhism is harboring filth and evil..."
The man in purple robe looked at the pile of bald heads below, waved his sleeves, and said righteously.
"It's simply intolerable, what can't be tolerated!"
An old monk with white beard and hair standing under the purple-robed official listened to his righteous words, silently lowered his head with a speechless expression, and softly recited a Buddhist name.
"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva!"
There was no other way. This old monk, who had become an Arhat and could be said to be immovable in all the eight winds, felt that if he looked at this purple-robed official again, he would not be able to help but pick up a magical weapon and kill someone.
As a result, just when he lowered his head, the man in purple robe said something again.
"Look, the great virtuous monk Zhixi of your Fahua Sect is ashamed of you..."
"puff……"
Kong Qing was at the side and immediately achieved success!
There is no way, I really can't bear it...
Kong Qing believed that if Fu Yi was not in public now and Fu Yi was accompanied by a large number of Yuancong guards, he believed that this Arhat would definitely be stimulated by Fu Yi and transform into the Demon-Conquering King Kong, punching him in the face.
On the ground.
"Fu Lingyin was joking..."
Monk Zhixi raised his head, clasped his hands together, and bowed sincerely to Fu Yi.
If it weren't for Kong Qing's appraisal skills, he would never have thought that the kind-hearted old monk in front of him was actually about to explode with anger in his heart.
"Ling Yin stirred up the turmoil and raised the purity, and selected the real backbone of our Fahua Sect. The old monk is really grateful. If it weren't for Ling Yin today, the old monk would not know that there is Hui Xi hidden in Dayun Jing Temple.
Such a treasure as a monk.”
Fu Yi lowered his head and stared at each other for a while with Monk Zhixi. Then he reluctantly rolled his sleeves, turned his head and snorted.
"snort!"
The corners of Monk Zhixi's mouth raised slightly, and he actually smiled at Fu Yi.
"The old monk is not lying, he is indeed very grateful to Fu Lingyin..."
Kong Qing nodded silently on the side.
Yes, Pindao also believes that you are very grateful to him, because you are now grateful to his eight generations of ancestors.
Fu Yi looked at Monk Zhixi coldly and said calmly.
"A saint has a destiny. Your Fahua Sect can keep one temple in Chang'an and destroy the rest. Monk Zhixi, you can tell so-and-so the name of the temple you want to keep, so that so-and-so can make arrangements in advance."
Kong Qing nodded silently again.
That's right, Fu Yi is indeed planning to make arrangements early...
"Since the Lotus Sect values this temple so much, it must be hiding something. Come here, dig the ground three feet for me and find out what these thieves are trying to hide!"
"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva! Thunder, rain, and dew are all your grace!"
Monk Zhixi was worthy of being an Arhat of the Fahua Sect. He was not caught by Fu Yixia's trap at all. Instead, he clasped his hands together and answered very piously.
"Which temple should be left behind is decided by the saint and your order. There will be no complaints from anyone in my Lotus family."
"Really?"
Fu Yi lowered his head again and looked at Monk Zhixi intently.
"Since you said so, Monk Zhixi, I will leave you this Dayunjing Temple, and the other temples, such as Monk Falin's Jifa Temple..."
When talking about Jifa Temple, Fu Yi looked at Monk Zhixi's expression without blinking his eyes.
"...It all has to be scrapped! Is this okay?"
"The old monk said, at this time, it depends on the saint and your order."
Under Fu Yi's close gaze, old monk Zhi Xi always had his hands clasped together and his expression calm, as if he really didn't care which temple he left behind.
"I, the Lotus, have no complaints from anyone in my family."
After a while, Fu Yi was defeated again from the staring battle. He turned his head and shouted at the group of bald monks.
"From now on, the entire Chang'an only allows Fahua Sect to exist in one temple, Dayunjing Temple. Monks such as Monk Huizhen who passed through Shatai can continue to live in Dayunjing Temple and are given food and clothing by officials. The rest of the monks..."
As he spoke, Fu Yi waved to the soldiers next to him.
"Bring them all back to someone, keep them with the monks of Zhuangyan Temple, register them, and then order them to return to secular life!"
"yes!"
After the Yuan Cong imperial guards next to them agreed, they immediately surrounded them and escorted the monks who had been defeated by the sand. They formed a long queue and walked out of the gate of Dayun Jing Temple.
After the Yuancong Imperial Guards left with the monks from Dayun Jing Temple, Fu Yi looked at Monk Zhixi and sneered.
"Monk Zhixi, be glad that your ultimatum was not issued from the Jingzhao area! Otherwise..."
Fu Yi looked at Monk Zhixi and said word by word.
"Today, I will kill you as well!"
"hehe……"
Although Monk Zhixi was angry in his heart, he still had a charitable smile on his face.
"The old monk consciously practices the four words diligently, which is still worthy. Come to think of it, even if Fu Lingyin wants to make things difficult, there is nothing he can do!"
"Really? I'm really looking forward to that..."
Fu Yi turned around suddenly and left a word to Monk Zhixi.
"Great Monk Zhixi, when His Majesty will completely eradicate your Hu religion, I will personally go to the rooftop. I hope you can still be so confident then, hahahaha..."
With that said, Fu Yi rolled up his sleeves and walked away, leaving the smiling monk Zhi Xi where he was.
Kong Qing smiled, looked deeply at Monk Zhixi, and then bowed his head.
"The poor Taoist also said goodbye. Great Monk Zhixi. See you later."
Monk Zhixi put his hands together politely and bowed to Kong Qing in return.
"Xiao Tanyue, please!"
Kong Qing turned around again, nodded slightly to the lonely monk Huizhen, and followed Fu Yi out of Dayun Jing Temple.
A few minutes later, only two people, monk Zhixi and monk Huizhen, were left in the originally bustling Dayunjing Temple.
Old monk Zhixi turned his head, looked at Dayun Jing Temple like a robber passing by, and sighed.
"well……"
"Guru?"
Monk Huizhen took a step forward and bowed to Monk Zhixi somewhat uneasily.
"I'm waiting for what to do next..."
"As it should be, so be it."
Monk Zhixi turned around and spoke warmly to Monk Huizhen, the only seedling left in the Dayunjing Temple and the only one who survived the tidal wave.
"Everything is just born and destroyed due to causes and conditions. Today's disaster for our Lotus Sect is just a reflection of the word "emptiness". You are smart and smart, and you have asked and answered ten questions. Can't you still see this?"
"But……"
Monk Hui Hao still seemed a little nervous.
"alright!"
Monk Zhixi stretched out his hand and gently stroked Monk Huizhen's head.
"The time has come, go to the main hall and offer incense to the Buddha!"
"yes!"
Monk Huizhen was still a little confused, but he agreed obediently and walked towards the Main Hall.
After his figure entered the Main Hall, Monk Jizang came out from behind the side hall, clasped his hands and said with an apologetic look.
"Great Monk Zhixi, the other party came too fast. The old monk was not able to take away all the magical artifacts. The last magical artifacts from Dayun Jing Temple that you took out were taken away by the Taoist priests from the Taishi Bureau."
After hearing what Monk Jizang said, a sharp light flashed in Monk Zhixi's eyes, but when he turned to look at Monk Jizang, his face had become gentle again.
"It doesn't matter! This is also the fate of our sect. If we can keep the remaining magical weapons, the old monk is already fully grateful for the kindness of the great monk Jizang."
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
Monk Jizang clasped his hands together and declined again and again.
"The old monk is full of guilt now. How can he be worthy of the kindness that the great monk Zhixi said."
As he said that, he took a step forward and asked with concern.
"Master Zhixi, may I ask when will you leave Chang'an next and send the magic weapon back to Tiantai?"
"Of course the sooner the better!"
Monk Zhixi looked at Monk Jizang with astonishment.
"Does the great monk Jizang have any advice?"
"Don't dare! It's just that the old monk got the news that King Qin was summoned by the saint today. After leaving the palace, he sent Tiance Guards to block the entrance to Chang'an. On the surface, it was to check the bandits, but in fact..."
Monk Jizang waved his hand again, then lowered his voice and said.
"Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Pei Gong!"
"oh!"
Monk Zhixi pondered for a moment, then looked at Monk Jizang.
"Then from the perspective of the great monk Jizang, what should the old monk do?"
