Tang Zhengliang couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "The temple was originally built to save all sentient beings. Now is the time when we need them. I believe that the abbot of this temple will not refuse."
Tang Zhengliang frowned and looked at Dai Cai subconsciously.
This is the truth, but everyone knows that today’s Buddhism is no longer the Buddhism that it was with the purpose of saving all sentient beings. On the contrary, the raids and oppression of tenants by temples often lead to tragedies in which families are broken up and people are killed.
At this moment, Xiao Shilian said coldly from the side, "A certain person will help the elder brother, please don't worry, the elder brother."
Tang Zhengliang took a deep breath and could only nodded with a wry smile.
"Let's go and have a look." Li Xingchen stood up suddenly, "Everyone, this is a difficult problem that the enemy has thrown at us, but if we can solve this problem, we will not only defeat our opponents, but also win the battle.
More...such as the people's hearts, so I hope you won't be sneaky, otherwise Li Xingchen won't recognize anyone even with the sword in his hand!"
"No!" Tang Zhengliang and the three of them all looked solemn.
————————————
The largest temple in Bajun, the Baoen Temple, was brightly lit. Two teams of soldiers lined up on both sides of the door, their spears reflecting the bright light. Under the leadership of several generals, groups of ragged homeless people were gathering in front of the door.
Outside the temple.
These refugees who had been driven out from all corners were looking at the magnificent mountain gate in front of them in fear. Li Xingchen, holding a riding whip, stood at the door of the temple with a gloomy look: "What's going on? Why are people gathered here and not going in?"
?”
Chen Zhishen hurriedly explained: "My subordinates have sent people to call the door, but no one has answered yet."
Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows. He didn't run to the door of Bao'en Temple in the middle of the night just to blow the cold wind. He said in a cold voice: "Then all the guys under you are doing nothing?"
Chen Zhishen was startled for a moment, and then said seriously: "The general will understand!"
If Cao Zhong or even Lu Zhiwu were here, they would be hesitant, but standing here is Chen Zhishen. This is a killer who is not afraid of anything, and he never disobeys Li Xingchen's orders.
With a wave of his hand, Chen Zhishen roared: "Bump the door!"
The dozen or so soldiers who had already impatiently waited in the cold wind quickly lifted themselves up against the wood and rushed straight to the mountain gate. And they seemed to have heard the movement outside and knew that these people were serious. The originally closed mountain gate
There was a soft sound and a gap opened immediately.
A sleepy-eyed young novice monk walked out quickly, and Chen Zhishen waved his hand to let his men stop first.
"Amitabha, dear donors, it's getting late and our temple will not accept guests. Please go back first." The little novice monk said impatiently.
"Let your abbot come out and answer the question," Li Xingchen was obviously in a bad mood. He frowned slightly and said coldly, "You are not qualified, go back!"
The little novice's eyes widened in surprise. It was obviously the first time he had met someone who was so disrespectful to the monks in Bao'en Temple for so long. But looking at the bright blade under the light, he also knew that the general in front of him must be
He was not just talking empty words, he immediately shuddered, turned around and walked in the door, his steps a lot brisker.
Apparently the abbot of the temple was also alarmed. The mountain gate opened and he walked out surrounded by several novice monks holding sticks. He put his hands together and saluted in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Amitabha, this general gathered a crowd to surround the temple in the middle of the night. It can't be justified.
"
Li Xingchen said lightly: "My dear Li Xingchen, Tian is the general of the Dachen Dang bandits. Recently, the number of refugees in the city has increased. This has not prevented the refugees from still sleeping on the streets in winter nights. Therefore, I have borrowed a temple from the abbot for use. The refugees will be gradually resettled during the day tomorrow.
No more interruption."
The abbot frowned: "Bao'en Temple is a peaceful place for Buddhism. Donor Li is compassionate, which the old monk can understand. However, the incense in the temple cannot be contaminated by dirt, so I hope Donor Li will choose another one..."
Li Xingchen's voice turned cold: "Buddhists have compassion in mind and have the important task of saving all sentient beings. Seeing the abbot turning away so many refugees and people, I'm afraid the Buddha will also be reluctant. When the abbot enters reincarnation, he can enter
It’s not good.”
Immediately, the surrounding monks' eyes widened. This was the first time they heard such disrespectful words. It was impossible not to be angry. If Li Xingchen wasn't surrounded by soldiers, they might have rushed up and started beating him.
"It's hard to hear what the donor said." The abbot's face was equally gloomy, "In a place where Buddhism is pure and peaceful, please don't make any mistakes, donor Li."
Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows. Although the old monk spoke calmly, his arrogance clearly appeared, and he clearly wanted to shut Li Xingchen and the others away.
"Close the door!" The abbot turned around and was about to walk into the temple. In the surrounding firelight, all the soldiers looked at Li Xinchen quietly, but they clenched their hands tightly.
"Abbott, don't you think about it anymore?" Li Xingchen gritted his teeth slightly.
The abbot didn't even look back.
Without waiting for him to enter the mountain gate, Li Xingchen had already drawn out his sword with a clang, and with a figure like lightning, he rushed directly outside the mountain gate, raised the sword and dropped it neatly!
A head flew into the air, and blood spurted out, covering the ground.
All these actions take place within a few breaths.
Li Ping and others also reacted and immediately swarmed forward and knocked the completely frightened novices to the ground.
After casually wiping off the blood stains on the old monk's cassock, Li Xingchen looked at the shivering monks standing inside and outside the mountain gate: "I want to temporarily borrow your temple, do you have any opinions among the eminent monks?"
This time there was complete silence.
And Li Xingchen waved his hand: "Bring everyone in."
——————————————————————-
"Come, get it." A personal guard of Li Xingchen stood at the door, holding thick clothes one by one, handing them to the refugees in turn. In the yard behind the temple gate, the heat was rising, and the pots were boiling.
When cooked, it exudes an attractive aroma.
"Donor, don't worry, these refugees can temporarily live in the temple's temple." Abbot Zhitong, the abbot of Baoen Temple, subconsciously wiped the sweat on his forehead and followed Li Xingchen respectfully.
Li Xingchen glanced at the abbot who was following suit. This person's monastic name was "Zhitong", but he was a knowledgeable person: "Thank you, abbot."
Abbot Zhitong forced out a smile and nodded repeatedly.
It had only been half an hour since he took office as the abbot, and the head of his senior abbot, the previous abbot, was hanging on the flagpole outside Baoen Temple, and the blood was still dripping down drop by drop. There was no need for more corpses.
The other temples in the city immediately opened their gates as soon as they received the news, allowing heavily armed soldiers to take over.
And by cutting off the head of the former abbot of Baoen Temple so neatly and neatly, Li Xingchen was clearly telling Zhitong and all the temples in Bajun City that Li Xingchen's style was different from that of those who respected and even worshiped Buddhism and temples before.
If the officials of the gods are very different, they had better be careful about the heads on their necks.
