Shi Feixuan was originally ordered by Fan Qinghui to go to Yunzhong Temple to inform Abbot Shouyun, the host, that she would go to Jing Nian Zen Sect to attend a Buddhist conference on the fifteenth day of next month.

I never expected to meet my inner demon halfway. After just a few words of conversation, I saw Yunzhong Temple bursting into flames.

"not good!"

Master Feixuan exclaimed, unfolded her body skills, and went straight to Yunzhong Temple!

Han Xu was surprised. In addition to the fire, there were also faint screams from Yunzhong Temple. It was obviously invaded.

Yes. Evil way?

Or the Holy Sect?

Could it be that Chu Xue and Yu Yan's plan was advanced and they would start a war against Buddhism within ten years? With a thought in his mind, Han Xu also followed him, wanting to see what happened.

The two of them were in tandem. I quickly arrived in front of Yunzhong Temple.

Inside the temple, I saw a fire blazing into the sky and thick smoke billowing. On the ground, many corpses of monks were lying in disorder. The ground was stained with blood and the ground was scarlet.

A big man with white eyebrows, combing his hair A man with a bun sitting in front of the temple, with dozens of boxes of gold and silver at his feet.

Three feet away in front of the big man, kneeling were hundreds of ordinary people in ragged clothes.

A closer look showed that they were not kowtowing to the big man. Begging for mercy, but kowtow to express gratitude?

The big man frowned and scolded:"Get up! Damn it, I hate you spineless guys the most. If you are bullied, I will beat the hell out of you!"

"Good man, the monks in Yunzhong Temple are all proficient in martial arts. How can we, the peasants, be their opponents?"

The big man was stunned, and seemed to think that what this person said made sense.

"So that’s the case, well, I don’t blame you anymore. Come here and divide the money, and your grandpa will teach you a trick or two later, so that you can have some strength to protect yourself."

Hearing this, everyone rushed forward with cheers and started to divide the gold and silver.

The big man was watching from the side to make sure that everyone got about the same amount.

Shifei Xuan couldn't stand it and stepped forward to yell.

"You, you, you people, have been blessed by Buddhism for generations, and have been able to cultivate fields, pay less taxes, and be baptized by Buddhism every day to eliminate disasters and reduce karma. You should be grateful to the eminent monks of Yunzhong Temple!"

"But what about you? You have been influenced by Buddhism for so many years, but you have no conscience. The monks in the temple were tortured by thieves, but you divided the temple property. Do you have any conscience?"

Her scolding seemed majestic and deafening, but a group of common people listened with blank faces.

"Girl, who are you?"

"Do you want us to be grateful to the monks of Yunzhong Temple? There's nothing wrong with you, right? Concubine

Shixuan was stunned and asked:"Yunzhong Temple gave you land to farm and only collected 10% tax. Based on this, shouldn't you be grateful?"

A middle-aged man in his forties sneered and snorted:"It is said to be a 10% tax, but today is a grand event and tomorrow is a Buddha's birthday. The expenses have to be borne by us tenants. After one year, the income will be The surplus grain cannot even feed the family. How is the behavior of these monks different from that of bandits?"

"Hey, hey, hey, just keep talking, what are you doing with the robbers?"The white-browed man was a little unhappy.

"Yes Yes Yes."

The middle-aged man quickly gave up a smile and broke into a cold sweat.

The man in front of him is a complete robber!

"Humph, you said that Yunzhong Temple is imposing excessive taxes and expropriations, why don't you just leave on your own and find another life?"

"Girl, you don’t know something. We people have been tenants of Yunzhong Temple since our ancestors, and we can’t do it even if we don’t want to."

Shifei Xuan asked in confusion:"Why?"

"Because we have owed money to Yunzhong Temple since our ancestors. Every time a child is born, he will sign a contract with Yunzhong Temple, and he will only be their slave for the rest of his life."

"Owe money? Why do you owe money?"

"These monks sent a Buddha statue to their homes today and several volumes of Buddhist scriptures tomorrow. But these are not given for free. There are three taels of each Buddha statue and one scroll of scriptures. It's not enough if they don't give them! I have no choice but to issue an IOU."

"From our ancestors to now, my family has owed more than one hundred taels of Buddhist scripture money to Yunzhong Temple. The meager harvest from farming is deducted seven or eight times, and we don’t even have enough to eat. We have to borrow money from the temple to buy food. As time goes by, the money we owe becomes more and more, and we will not be able to pay it off in dozens of lifetimes!"

At this time, another person said:"It's fine if you owe money. Some monks still show off their power and bully the people. The old uncle Zhou in our village was beaten to death by him just because he argued with the monk from Yunzhong Temple. Got it!"

Shifei Xuan's delicate body trembled, she took a step back suddenly, and said in a trembling voice:"How is this possible? No! No! This is absolutely impossible! Han

Xu snorted:"Girl, do you know the true face of Buddhism now?""

"No! This is just a dirty temple that goes against the teachings of Buddhism! How can it represent the vast Buddhist sect?"Although Shi Feixuan is shaken, her faith after so many years has not collapsed so easily.

"Do you think this is an example? Maybe what Yunzhong Temple did was a little too much, but in this world, it is normal for Buddhist temples to bully tenants. Girls can look around. Even if some temples are better than Yunzhong Temple, how much better can they be?"

"You, you lie!"Master Feixuan's face turned pale and she was panting. The shake of her faith made her feel dizzy, her breathing was disordered, and there were faint signs of being possessed.

"As the saying goes, what you hear is false and what you see is true. If you don’t believe it, just go and look around. Anyway, in the Central Plains of China, the most indispensable thing is Buddhist temples."

"good!"

Shifei Xuan responded, turned around and left.

Han Xu didn't care about her, it was just a chance encounter. Whether she was dead or alive, whether she believed it or not, what did it have to do with him?

After a while, the people divided the treasures and dispersed. Go, in front of Yunzhong Temple, only Han Xu and the white-browed man are left, and a box of treasures he left behind

"Come on, little brother, whoever sees it has a share, I will share some of this treasure with you."The white-browed man smiled boldly and said.

This person has a green forest style at first glance. If Han Xu refuses, it will make him unhappy.

For a being who can't even see the depth of things, Han Xu doesn't want to offend him for such a trivial matter..

Moreover, Han Xu admired this man's behavior.

So he was not polite, took the gold and silver thrown by the big man, and put it away.

"good! Happy enough! My temper towards me!"

Han Xu smiled faintly and looked at the big man in front of him with some doubts in his heart.

What is his background? He can't even see the depth of it himself?

"Who are you, and what grudges do you have with the monks of Yunzhong Temple?

The big man waved his hand and said,"What a grudge. I just saw them oppressing the people. I couldn't get angry, so I rushed in and killed all these bald guys." By the way, what do you think they are called? Monk? What is a monk?"

Han Xu was even more surprised. Even if he has no experience, it's impossible that he doesn't know what a monk is, right?

"Are you kidding me?"

"What does this mean?"

"Is there anyone in this world who doesn’t know what a monk is? The big man glared:"

But I just don't know!""
