Datang Library

Chapter 642 Make a mark

When the people in the green forest heard the words of the abbot, 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 imperial court's decree on Buddhism, and 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."

"It doesn't matter, Qin can also fight on his behalf." Qin Shubao said, pulling out the hero sword in his hand, and suddenly the golden light in the hall was shining, and a righteous spirit rushed straight to the sky.

Huiming was a little surprised when he heard that Qin Shubao was going to fight, because Qin Shubao was a top fighter, and he was confident that he could take him down.After all, I am more than 100 years old, and I am not as young and strong as Qin Shubao. I am afraid that the whole temple will be destroyed if I miss it.

"No, no, General Qin misunderstood. We are not going to fight with the three, but there are other rules to ensure fairness and justice."
