Datang Library

Qin Qiong saw it, and stepped forward to stop Wei Kuangdao, but his martial arts were not peerless, Wei Kuangdao was also a master, Qin Qiong was caught off guard, and went up to hold the blade of the dagger with one hand, and the bright red blood immediately It just flowed down.

"Brother Wei Xian, those who don't know are not guilty. How can Qin Shubao deal with himself if you hurt yourself like this? Just clear up the misunderstanding. What is Qin's reputation worth at a time?"

When Qin Qiong said this, the people in the field admired even more, and many people bowed their heads in guilt.

"Second Brother Qin, you, hey! Brother, I'm sorry for you, Abbot Tanzhi, the Crazy Saber Sect's family has something to do, and they are unable to meddle in the affairs of your temple, so I'm leaving."

Wei Kuangdao withdrew his dagger, bowed to Abbot Tanzhi and said goodbye.

Immediately afterward, he took out the golden sore medicine from his bosom and bound Qin Shubao's wound, but Bai Fan reached out to stop him, motioning for Li Yuanba behind him to come.

At this time, there are several small sects following the Crazy Sword Sect, and they all say that they have to withdraw. Some of them are because they have no face to face Qin Qiong, because just like what Wei Kuangdao didn't say, those who besieged Zhongnan Academy back then had their own sects That's why they stood up to denounce Qin Qiong before, but now that the facts are revealed, they are naturally ashamed.

Bai Fan watched as Li Yuanba took out Zhongnan's secret wound medicine from his bosom to bandage Qin Qiong, and stopped these people with a smile.

"Wait a minute, everyone. Since you're here, just wait for a while. Even if you're not for Shaolin, there are things that need you to be witnesses."

The abbot of Shaolin saw it, and his heart was not good. He had always heard that Lan Tianhou was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also unparalleled in resourcefulness in the world. Is this some kind of conspiracy to deal with Shaolin?

The heroes looked at it, because of Bai Fan's face, no one really went down the mountain. After all, they all knew that there were [-] troops down the mountain.

"Abbot Tanzhi, the imperial court ordered that Buddhism has a bad reputation for hiding filth and evil. Most of the temples in this world are places where fish and dragons are mixed up. There are very few eminent monks who are truly proficient in Buddhism.

Moreover, there are too many young and strong Buddhists, and they do not grow food, pay taxes, or perform hard labor, which greatly damages the interests of the country. If the Tang Dynasty wants to prosper, no one can do it. It cannot be that the young and strong of a big country come to shave their heads and become monks. .

Therefore, Buddhism is about to change. "

Bai Fan cut straight to the point, and said these easy-to-understand truths directly, which is the best explanation in front of this green forest person, lest people say that he is here to find trouble due to personal grievances.

And the effect is really good. Many people in the green forest have a good impression of this Lantian Hou who does not use bureaucratic accents or power. In fact, many people are not used to the growth of Shaolin for so many years. Bai Fan suppressed Buddhism. , many people are happy to hear and see.

Abbot Tanzhi's face turned bitter, this is not possible, Buddhism is not easy to develop, especially Shaolin, as a temple based on martial arts, what does it rely on?Just relying on the young and strong, you have deprived our Buddhism of the root of the young and strong, so Shaolin is not a pill?

"Amitabha, Lord Hou's words are wrong!

My Buddhist disciples are also self-sufficient Tang people. If you don’t enter the world of mortals, you will naturally not pay taxes or participate in labor. It is too much to say that we harm the interests of the country. In times of war, I, Shaolin, took the lead and helped His Majesty pacify Luoyang Wang Shichong. His Majesty also personally named thousands of Shaolin monks as monks and soldiers, bestowed a thousand hectares of fertile land, and Shaoshi Mountain as Shaolin fiefdom.

how?Is Hou Ye going to deprive these rewards of His Majesty?Or do you want to deprive Shaolin of the honor of sacrificing monks and soldiers for the country? "

The old monk made a move, it was really extraordinary, Bai Fan secretly thought that it was troublesome, in order to appease this gang of bandits, the emperor was quick to seal him up, but now he is fine, it is already difficult to get back.

Today's Chapter 1, please support.

Chapter 643 Let's draw the road

When the people in the green forest heard the abbot's words, they had all kinds of reactions, but the most people cursed in their hearts. The treatment of this group of monks is too good, sitting on tens of thousands of acres of land An hectare is [-] mu, a thousand hectares is [-] mu), and there is no need to pay grain taxes, and there is a site granted by the royal family. No wonder so many people are rushing to become monks. Although they are in the green forest, they are enjoying state treatment. Who wouldn't do such a good thing?

Bai Fan laughed, "Abbot misunderstood, this is the court's decree on Buddhism, all monks in the Tang Dynasty are treated like this, although Shaolin Temple is a hero in troubled times, it is still in Buddhism.

Your Majesty said that the merits of the monks and soldiers back then must not be forgotten today. Thousands of monks and soldiers were also heroes of the Tang Dynasty.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is surrounded by enemies, it is time to employ people, so Shaolin monks and soldiers, regardless of their age, all enlist in the army. They are supported by the imperial court to form a powerful army of our Datang, which is dedicated to dealing with the wolves of the barbarians and to promote our country's prestige.

As for the previous rewards and the like, it is the exclusive fiefdom of this powerful army, and an additional [-] food towns for the army of monks and soldiers. Even the Marquis is envious of this kind of treatment. "

Bai Fan painted big pies so vividly, a majestic marquis turned out to be like a philistine businessman, this kind of style almost made the abbot of Shaolin spit out a mouthful of old blood.

What do you envy?You are the richest man in Tang Dynasty, how envious you are!

The [-] mu of land originally belonged to Shaolin. The court said that although the land was saved, our people were deceived to go to the battlefield, and a thousand households were enshrined?Hehe, on average, there is less than one household in each person. Isn’t this the one who is the only one?

"Hou Ye, the monks and soldiers are old and killed too much. Now they are reciting scriptures and eating fast to eliminate bad karma. How can they pick up the butcher's knife and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy? Please forgive Shaolin Temple for not being able to do it."

Bai Bai raised his brows, and snorted coldly: "So, you Shaolin Temple doesn't want to serve the country anymore? Taking the country's rewards for nothing, occupying the country's resources, when the people of the country need someone to stand up and protect, you hide behind Coward?

How can there be such a good thing?There are two ways, either according to the imperial decree, no monks under the age of 50 are allowed to become monks, and all of them return to the common people. The development of Buddhism must be supervised by the state. .

Or just as I said just now, if monks and soldiers join the army, Shaolin will be able to comprehend Buddhism with peace of mind, and your position as the leader of Buddhism will still not change. "

Abbot Tanzhi clasped his hands together, and called out the Buddha's name, his voice couldn't help but a little louder, "Marquis of Lantian, the imperial court really wants to force you? Shaolin Temple worked for King Qin back then, not for the country? Wouldn't it make the people feel cold when it was spread out? "

"Hahahaha, abbot, you and I know this matter well in our hearts. According to what I said about the monks and soldiers back then, hello, hello, hello everyone, if I really care about you, do you think Shaolin Temple can handle it?"

"Thousands of monks and soldiers absolutely cannot accept Hou Ye's move. You are insulting their honor. Are you not afraid that they will go to Chang'an to seek His Majesty's judgment? After all, the monks and soldiers are also veterans of the Tang Dynasty." Abbot Tanzhi said in a deep voice.

"What? Threatening us? This Marquis has led an army of [-]. If you dare to reject the court's decree and insist on occupying the mountain as king, don't blame us for being rude." Bai Fan was a little annoyed.

At this time, the surrounding green forest people were dissatisfied, and they all offered to help Shaolin Temple.

"Marquis Lantian, the Shaolin Temple belongs to the Green Forest, and you bring a large army to threaten, is it a moral act?

It is an old rule that the imperial court does not get involved in green forests. If you do this, we really cannot stand by and watch. "An elder of the Emei Sect said.

Bai Fan turned his head and glanced at everyone in Shaolin, many of them seemed to have let go of their hearts when they saw Lvlin help.

"So this is your Shaolin plan. The Buddhist rules can't protect you, so you use the green forest as protection? No wonder so many green forest comrades gathered here today, it turned out to be premeditated."

Li Yuanba behind him pulled out the peerless sword behind him.

He shouted loudly: "You guys rely on your status and martial arts skills, dare to ignore the court's laws? Look at this king fighting for the country today!"

As soon as the peerless sword came out, the atmosphere in the whole hall changed immediately. Many green forest sword cultivators felt their swords tremble uncontrollably, as if they had seen something terrible.

Even Master Huiming, the elder guardian of Shaolin, frowned. This Li Yuanba's high cultivation base, coupled with this sword, made him feel his heart beating.

Bai Fan stopped Li Yuanba with a wave of his hand, and looked at Abbot Tanzhi again, "Abbot, this Marquis is here to perform official duties, and I don't want to tear my face. The Green Forest of the Tang Dynasty saved Bai Fan's life back then, and I don't want to force him too much. , Slaughter in the green forest, I, Bai Fan, can't do such ungrateful things.

As far as the matter is concerned, Shaolin Temple is in the Buddhist sect and must abide by the new regulations of the Tang Buddhist sect.

You must have heard about the Wulou Temple. Thinking about the reputation of Shaolin, Ben Hou advises you to think about it, so as not to tear your face. At that time, not only the temple but also the reputation of Shaolin may not be able to be preserved. The ancestral court of Buddhism in Tang Dynasty, the painstaking effort of Bodhidharma. "

Hearing this, Abbot Tanzhi's heart tightened. No one knows how many Shaolin secrets Bai Fan has in his hands, but the unknown is the most terrifying. He only dares to guess more and not less. , how many black accounts Shaolin has, the abbot himself knows best.

Gradually, the sweat on Abbot Tanzhi's head began to drip down, Bai Fan's two roads, none of which had room for him, he was just being pushed towards a dead end!

"Amitabha, Marquis of Lantian, Shaolin did not dare to resist the law, but how about asking the court to recite the merits of the monks and soldiers and give them a chance?

The old monk doesn't want to use swords in vain, so how about making a bet with Lan Tianhou in accordance with the rules of the green forest?I don't know if Master Hou might be accommodating? "The old monk Huiming spoke. After all, only the abbot was allowed to come forward, and he couldn't bear the power of Bai Fan.

Bai Fan nodded: "Since the master has spoken, Fan has no choice but to give face, so today's official business, I will just keep it private for a while, for the sake of the green forest, and handle it according to the rules of the green forest.

If there are three people here, please come to Shaolin Temple, whether it is a one-on-one fight or a group fight, we are up to you, as long as you can drive the three of us down the mountain, not only Shaolin's affairs will be taken care of by me, but I can also ask your Majesty for help from the Buddhist sect. Personality. "

"Okay, Lord Hou is righteous, giving me green forest face with such preferential treatment and concessions." The man from the Crazy Saber Sect shouted.

The old monk Huiming's face turned bitter, Bai Fan alone wanted to attack all the high-level officials in Shaolin, let alone Li Yuanba, if that sword came out, how many casualties would there be in Shaolin.

"No no, Master Hou misunderstood. Master Hou is the best in martial arts in the world, and the King of Chu is also the number one hero in the Tang Dynasty. We are absolutely no match for you. In Shaolin Temple, no one dares to reach out to you."
