Chapter 476: Sweeping the Branch of the Western Heaven Sect (1)
I'm too lazy to pay attention to Elder Yuntian's expression. If this happened in the past, I might still have some respect for him. But when he went against me again and again, no matter how good my personality was, it was difficult to suppress my anger.
accurate.
The other Maoshan disciples did not clearly hear what I said about enduring your numbness, but Elder Yuntian was so angry that he walked away, snorted coldly on the spot, and walked away.
I looked at Elder Yuntian's leaving figure, and I felt uneasy.
I stood up and scanned all the disciples in Maoshan, and said: "The Xitian Sect has already extended its claws to the foot of my Maoshan Mountain. As a leader in the righteous path, I, Maoshan, should teach the Xitian Sect a lesson first!"
The disciples of Maoshan suddenly agreed.
I paused and continued: "Elder Yunhai of Yunshan will each lead a group of disciples, and I and Yunyue will lead another group of disciples. We will go down the mountain tomorrow and set off in three directions to sweep these eleven branches of the Western Heaven Sect."
"Yes, Master!" All the disciples shouted in unison, with excitement on their faces.
My eyes narrowed, and I felt a little excited in my heart. These bandit monks from the Western Heaven Sect killed Xiao Wu's father, and now it's up to me to ask for some interest from them.
…………
Early the next morning, according to my instructions, the two elders of Yunshan and Yunhai each led a team of disciples, and Yunyue and I also led a team. They went down the mountain together, using Maoshan as the base, and headed all the way to the eleven places in the west.
Teach branch points to sweep away!
Before leaving, Mu Qing also wanted to go with me, but after my persuasion, she finally stayed in Maoshan obediently and kept an eye on the three little guys.
With everything ready, Yunyue and I led a group of disciples down from Maoshan Mountain and headed straight for the nearest branch of the Xitian Sect.
According to the information that Ichimatsu had gathered in advance, after dressing up, we arrived at our destination smoothly without attracting too much attention.
This branch of the Xitian Sect closest to Maoshan may also be aware of the subtlety of its location. There are almost two hundred monks from the Xitian Sect stationed inside.
Our group soon arrived at the splendid Xitian Buddhist Temple. This hall is obviously much larger than the main hall in Maoshan. There are three gold-painted Buddha statues erected inside.
The Buddha statue has a kind smile on his face. Under the Buddha statue, several monks with three small scars on their heads are coming and going, holding Buddhist beads in one hand and holding a merit box in the other hand as they pass through the crowd of believers.
I took a look and saw that there were hundreds of believers in the huge Buddhist hall, including men, women, old and young. Each one had a pious expression on their face, and they were worshiping the three Buddha statues above step by step.
, three steps and one kowtow...
There were also some believers in ragged clothes, lying prostrate on the ground, praying without knowing what they were saying. A little further back, there were even some believers who brought sick and dying patients, and knelt down and kowtowed for a while.
No matter how the patients in the back screamed in pain, they didn't care at all, with crazy looks on their faces...
Seeing this scene, I took a breath of air!
What kind of sect is this that can make so many people so devout and convinced?
If I hadn't seen with my own eyes how these evil monks of the Western Sect kill people without blinking an eye, perhaps I might have been blinded by the grand scene in front of me.
Elder Yunyue beside him also stared straight-eyed. Even he couldn't believe the crazy scene in front of him.
Not far away, several monks holding Buddhist beads in one hand and merit incense in the other walked along the crowd.
Wherever they go, believers around them will quickly take out money and throw it into the merit box. It seems that for them, the more money they throw away, the easier it will be for them to realize what they pray for.
And I also saw quite a few believers competing with each other. The person in front threw away a few hundred, the one behind quickly threw away a thousand, and the people behind him would proudly throw in a few more to show off...
I even saw those poor people in ragged clothes. When the monk walked past them holding the merit box, they all took out their frugal money and put it all in without caring about the people around them.
The eager eyes of a child who hasn’t even had enough to eat...
In the huge palace, similar madness was still going on. Many believers even fought in order to get closer to the Buddha statues.
The monks in charge, looking at the fiercely fighting believers in front of them, secretly shook their heads and sneered for a while, then lazily stepped forward to separate...
A few minutes later, a monk holding a merit box came to Yunyue and I.
"Anita Buddha, there is a teaching in the West to transform all living beings. Dear donors, your merits are immeasurable..."
After the monk sang a promise to us with an expressionless face, he directly raised the merit box in front of me. His meaning couldn't be more obvious.
I touched my nose and felt a little dumbfounded. Isn’t this merit money voluntary? Why do you monks need to take the initiative to persuade us to donate?
I motioned for Yisong to come over and asked him to take out his wallet.
Ichimatsu opened his wallet respectfully, and there was a stack of red bills inside.
The monk holding the merit box at the side also lit up when he saw the large banknotes in his wallet.
I smiled half-heartedly and asked: "Master, do you have any rules on how much merit money should be donated?"
The monk shook his head quickly and said with a flattering look on his face: "Anita Buddha, this religion was created by the Buddhas in the Western Heaven. It is only for the purpose of teaching and transforming all living beings. How can we pursue more or less for this immeasurable merit? It all depends on the intentions of the donors.
…”
That's what he said, but the monk's eyes were fixed on the big red banknotes in Yisong's wallet.
"Esteems are less important than affection, Master, this is our intention..."
Under the monk's gaze, I smiled slightly, gently took out the only one-yuan bill from Taoist Yisong's wallet, and then deliberately put it into the monk's merit box with a respectful expression!
My move immediately made Yunyue next to me blush so much that she almost laughed!
And looking at the monk holding the merit box, his face changed slightly, and the expression on his face was like spilled soy sauce, not to mention how exciting it was...
"Will you just donate one yuan?" the monk said in a weird voice.
I nodded and replied with an innocent smile: "Yes, didn't the master say that in order to achieve immeasurable merit, one should not pursue more or less?"
"But if you have so much money, don't you just donate one yuan? Isn't it too..."
"Master, as long as you have more money and less money, it's okay if you have your heart set on it? If Master really likes money, then you can take it all..."
"Really?"
The monk was overjoyed. After seeing that there were no other companions around him, he quickly lowered his head and said in a flattering and flattering manner: "Isn't it bad for the poor monk to take the money like this? Does the donor need anything from the poor monk?"
Did you do it?”
I nodded and said thoughtfully: "It really is."
"Donor, please tell me, as long as the poor monk can do it."
"My job is very simple, that is, I am going to tell your stewards on my behalf that I am here in Maoshan to collect protection fees..."
