Water Margin people

Chapter 13
In terms of strength, Sun Lei was not Lu Zhishen's opponent at all. He dragged himself up to Mount Wutai and came outside Wenshu Monastery. A monk had seen them and ran in, shouting "Lu Zhishen is back".

"Haha, it's all brothers helping, the Sa family has never been welcomed like this before!"

Lu Zhishen laughed when he saw this situation. In the past, when he went back to the monastery, he was always turned away, and some people even beat him with sticks. But this is no wonder to those monks. Every time he went down the mountain, he would come back drunk.

"You don't need to drag me to become a monk even if you thank me! Let's discuss it carefully, if you want to occupy the top of the mountain and become the king, I will let you take the top spot, and I will take the second!"

Seeing that he had already arrived at Wenshu Monastery, Sun Lei shouted anxiously, if he really became a monk, it would be over.

"Brother, this is for your own good. You don't have a place of origin here. It's inconvenient to walk around. If you are a monk, you don't have to worry about that."

Lu Zhishen patted his bald head. After spending two days with Sun Lei, he still didn't know Sun Lei's background. It is very difficult for this kind of person to travel outside. When he escaped from Weizhou, Lu Zhishen suffered all kinds of hardships along the way. He knew the feeling of being hunted very well.

"Who said I have no identity anymore, I am from... Dongtu Great Tang!"

Sun Lei's words froze suddenly, he didn't know what to say, he couldn't tell the address on the original ID card, he could only make up nonsense about Dongtu Datang.

"Brother, you are talking nonsense! The Tang Dynasty happened hundreds of years ago, and now it is the Song Dynasty. I know you have difficulties, and the Sa family pointed you to a clear path!"

Lu Zhishen didn't delve into Sun Lei's background either. Everyone has their own secrets, so it's normal not to want to tell them.

"Zhishen, what are you doing, let go of Donor Sun!"

Just after entering the mountain gate, Sun Lei heard that old and thick voice, it was the voice of Elder Zhizhen, and it was like the voice of Buddha in Sun Lei's ears.

"Elder help!"

Sun Lei shouted quickly, he knew that only Elder Zhizhen could subdue Lu Zhishen on Mount Wutai.

"Elder, this brother from the Sa family also wants to go up to the mountain to become a monk. If you think he has made contributions to the courtyard, then accept him!"

Lu Zhishen didn't wink at all, he smiled and said to Elder Zhizhen.

Sun Lei wanted to vomit blood when he heard this, which is as casual as pulling him up the mountain to join the gang.

Next to Elder Zhizhen, the prison monastery of Wenshu Monastery, the middle-aged monk who said he wanted to chase Lu Zhishen away last time was even more ugly. Is it a disaster for Wenshu Monastery?

"Elder, you can't agree. My Wenshu Monastery has a century-old reputation. The ordained monks are either pious, or have a relationship with the Buddha, and they also have a certificate issued by the imperial court. How can you help others to be ordained at will!"

The monk Jiansi hurriedly said to Elder Zhizhen.

"Elder, now that the imperial court has increasingly strict control over ordained monks, it is not appropriate for us to shave or become monks privately."

The head monk also said that the head assistant elder was in charge of the daily affairs of the monastery, and he was quite clear about some regulations of the court, and it was a felony to help someone shave or become a monk without a degree certificate.

These people are usually tired of Lu Zhishen, how would they let another "scourge" enter the temple? The only way is to answer Lu Zhishen. Now Lu Zhishen wants to take Sun Lei, who has a suspicious identity, to go to the mountain to become a monk, and they will stop him no matter what.

Sun Lei was delighted to hear that, and hurriedly said.

"Yeah, I have nothing to do with Buddha, let me go!"

"Zhishen, let go of Donor Sun."

Elder Zhizhen looked at Lu Zhishen with a smile and said.

"Elder, my brother captured the flower-picking thief, and he helped the monastery gain fame. The incense will flourish in the future, so you can accept him."

Lu Zhishen still didn't give up, and continued to beg Elder Zhizhen. Sun Lei was moved but speechless. If he hadn't become a monk, with Lu Zhishen's straight temper, he would have no problem worshiping him.

"Benefactor Sun has a predestined relationship with the Buddha, but the fate of blessing is not to become a monk."

Elder Zhizhen said with a smile.

When Lu Zhishen heard this, he was speechless, Elder Zhizhen just didn't plan to help Sun Lei shave or become a monk, and the rest of the monks listened with joy.

"But benefactor Sun did help Wenshu Monastery restore its reputation, and the small temple can't repay it. If benefactor Sun doesn't dislike it, he can stay in this temple for a few days."

Elder Zhizhen looked at Sun Lei with a smile on his face and said, Sun Lei helped Wenshu Monastery restore its reputation, but they are monks and have nothing to repay Sun Lei, so they can only stay for a few days to show their friendship as a landlord and recite Several scriptures pray for it.

"Thank you, elder, then I will be impolite and just stay for a few days."

Sun Lei was not polite, and agreed directly. He didn't know where to go now. There seemed to be no place he could go to. He happened to live in Wenshu Monastery for a few days, so he thought about where to go.

After arranging for Sun Lei, Elder Zhizhen performed a Buddha ceremony to Sun Lei, then looked at Lu Zhishen, and began to reprimand Lu Zhishen in front of all the monks, reprimanding him for breaking the rules, drinking alcohol and eating meat, and hurting people for no reason. Harms the evil thieves in the village, but the merits and demerits cannot be offset. He must be punished to copy the scriptures once, carry a hundred loads of water, and meditate on his own mistakes.

After hearing the copying of the scriptures, Lu Zhishen's whole face turned bitter. He didn't care about carrying water or anything, the copying of the scriptures would kill him.He has just learned to read in the monastery, and he doesn't know many characters. If he is asked to copy scriptures, it is better to give him a hundred sticks.

Seeing the bitter look on Lu Zhishen's face, the rest of the monks were secretly happy. There are not many things that can make Lu Zhishen suffer, and the elder's punishment is what Lu Zhishen fears the most.

Elder Zhizhen admonished Lu Zhishen a few more words, telling him not to do anything wrong in the future, but to worship Buddha in the temple sincerely. After Lu Zhishen honestly agreed, the matter of Lu Zhishen grabbing wine, drinking, kicking and hurting people passed away.

"Master Lu, are you sincerely repenting? I don't think you care at all?"

When the crowd dispersed, Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen and asked, when Lu Zhishen agreed just now, he had an honest face, but Sun Lei couldn't believe that Lu Zhishen would not eat meat or drink in the future, it was like asking a tiger to become a vegetarian.

"As long as you remember what the Sajia promised, you will naturally do it."

Lu Zhi patted his chest deeply and said.

"If you don't remember co-authoring, can you not do it?"

Sun Lei heard the meaning of Lu Zhishen's words, this guy must have found a good excuse to play tricks, don't you remember that it was all a matter of his words, what can he do if he doesn't remember?
"Sajia has a good memory. Brother, what's in the gourd on your waist?"

Lu Zhishen suddenly stared at the gourd on Sun Lei's waist, and unconsciously sucked the saliva that was about to flow out.

"Water, mountain spring water!"

Sun Lei clutched the gourd and ran towards the backyard wing. Lu Zhishen was addicted to alcohol again. In Wenshu Monastery, there was no alcohol in the gourd except his waist. This guy must be addicted to alcohol again.
"Brother! Brother! Sajia is thirsty, give Sajia a drink, drink!"

Seeing that Sun Lei was running away, Lu Zhishen chased after him, wanting to take a sip of the "mountain spring water" in the gourd.
