Water Margin people

Chapter 663 The Monk
From the chaotic cries of the townspeople, Sun Lei got a general idea.

After the defeat of Zengtou City, in order to quickly make up for the loss, they directly plundered the surrounding villages, and it was the kind of burning, killing and looting that was almost destroyed.

In just a few days, seven or eight villages had been massacred. The surrounding villagers were terrified and ran to the prefecture and county government to report to the officials.

The town in front of me has already flooded into many surrounding villagers. When these villagers heard that Liang Shanbo's army was coming, they thought of running to block the way and beg.

The old man in front of him is the most respected old man in a radius of ten miles, and this time he asked Liang Shanbo for help.

"This matter can be considered to be caused by us in Liangshan, and we in Liangshan will definitely take care of it to the end!"

Sun Lei looked at the people who were kneeling and begging and said, anyway, if we want to attack Zengtou City, we should eliminate harm for the people.

"Thank you Sun Dasheng!"

After hearing this, the people shouted in unison, and brought out wine, meat and prepared gold and silver one after another.

"Old man, that's all for now. Everyone has just suffered a disaster. If I eat and take at the same time, wouldn't I be taking advantage of the fire?"

Sun Lei politely declined the kindness of the people. His army was neither short of food nor wages. If there was any shortage, he would naturally ask the state government for it.

"Boss Sun, that's all we have!"

Everyone thought that there were too few things, and Sun Lei was dissatisfied, and said with some panic.

"The wine and meat are eaten by the family, and you take the money back. If the family is short of money, they will go to those fans to get it!"

Lu Zhishen directly took a cooked pork leg, took a big bite, and said boldly.

Compared to Sun Lei, the son-in-law's kind-hearted leader, it was easier for the common people to accept Lu Zhishen, a rough-and-tumble monk, and quickly sent up good wine and meat.

"I want to eat too!"

Li Kui stretched out his hand to grab the food, his rough appearance startled the common people again, they thought it was a black Yama who came out of nowhere.

"Old man, our army is stationed outside the town, and we will eliminate Zengtou City tomorrow."

Sun Lei looked at the old man and said.

"Boss Sun, although our town is not big, we still have houses. Let's go to the town, all heroes!"

The old man said quickly.

"The army has a large number of people. I'm afraid it will disturb the people. Let's stay outside the town."

Sun Lei shook his head, his army of more than 1 soldiers poured into such a small town, and it still didn't fill up the town.

Tao Zongwang and his men quickly set up the camp.

"Master Lu, you are so welcome. You can finish a big pork leg by yourself, and the common people won't be able to eat it for a month."

Seeing that Lu Zhishen was still gnawing on the big pig leg, Sun Lei laughed.

"The Sa family is a monk, so it's normal to accept alms. The common people have brought out their wine and meat. Wouldn't it be shameful for the Sa family not to eat it? Besides, the Sa family will be going to the Zengtou market for them tomorrow."

Lu Zhishen said indifferently.

"This monk is still a monk, accepting alms? Why don't you say that those people are planting blessings?"

Sun Lei gave Lu Zhishen a look of contempt.

"Did you know? Tell you that being a monk has many benefits! This is called forming good karma!"

Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Lei and said.

"Brother, there are two monks outside asking to see you!"

Mrs. Gu walked up to Sun Lei and said.

"I just talked about the monk, so here comes the monk to ask for alms? Give them two cold steamed buns and let them go back where they came from!"

Sun Lei waved his hand.

"Where is the senior brother, the Sajia wants to meet you!"

As a monk, Lu Zhishen still has a good impression of the monk.

"Have you seen the wild monk? You are not afraid of meeting ghosts!"

Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhi and said deeply.

"The monk is a Buddhist, how can there be ghosts?"

Lu Zhi said with deep disdain.

"In this world, people can't tell the difference between a human and a ghost, but a monk can tell the difference?"

Sun Lei glanced at Lu Zhishen.

"Brother, those two monks said they didn't come here for alms, and they have something important to tell."

Mrs. Gu said, if it was just for alms, she would not come to Sun Lei, and sending the two monks away is not a big deal.

"Call and see!"

Sun Lei nodded thoughtfully.

"Look, Buddhist monks are here to help!"

Lu Zhishen said with a big smile.

Guided by Mrs. Gu, two monks walked into the camp. One monk was in his 40s and the other was in his early twenties.

"The poor monk pays homage to Chief Sun!"

The middle-aged monk bowed to Sun Lei.

"You didn't kowtow when you saw my king, are you looking down on me?"

Sun Lei, who was sitting on a tiger-skin stool, looked at the two monks and scolded.

Seeing that Sun Lei got angry suddenly, everyone was a little puzzled, but since Sun Lei was angry, they should also be angry. This is the brotherhood, they all glared at the two monks viciously.

"Two bald donkeys looking for death, look at me hacking you, ah!"

Li Kui looked at the two monks with an axe in his hands and began to yell and curse, but he seemed to be pointing at Lu Zhishen in both words and deeds, causing Lu Zhishen's face to turn black.

"My little monk pays homage to King Sun!"

The two monks were so frightened that their faces turned ashen, and they quickly prostrated themselves on the ground and bowed down.

"Tell me, what do you want to do with my lord? My lord is not a monk!"

Sun Lei looked at the two monks and asked.

"Your Majesty, this little monk is the supervisor of the Fahua Temple on the east side of Zengtou City. The five tigers of Zeng's family have recently come to this temple to make pilgrimages, asking for gold, silver, and silk. The little monk knows where he is haunted, so he came here specially to pay his respects. Please, leader, go into the robbery village and wipe him out, you will be lucky."

The two monks lay on the ground and said sincerely.

Hearing the words of the two monks, everyone narrowed their eyes slightly, with different expressions. They all began to examine the two monks. Although they were reporting to lead the way, they sounded suspicious.

"You are monks. The monks are compassionate and save all living beings. If they want money, you can give them money. Who has said that if someone slaps you on the left cheek, you should put the right cheek on it, and let him Slap!"

Sun Lei looked at the two monks and smiled.

"Who is so cheap, one slap is not enough, and another slap is needed?"

Bao Xu muttered, his voice was a little loud, and everyone burst into laughter.

The two monks were confused by the strange atmosphere and the inconspicuous words. This is different from what they thought of answering. The people from Liangshan in front of them should be excited to ask them about the situation of Zengtou City and how to break Zengtou City.

"As a monk, money is something outside of the body. You're just acting like you are. Holding resentment in your heart is called rebellion. Asking me to kill Zengtou City is a violation of the precept of killing. Do you understand the rules and regulations?"

Sun Lei looked at the two monks and asked.

"Zengtou city is still killing people!"

The young monk said hurriedly.

"Then you don't go to recite sutras to save souls, by the way, what sutras do you monks recite to save dead souls?"

Sun Lei suddenly interrupted and asked.

"This……"

The two monks couldn't answer.

"The Yi Jin Jing, right?"

Sun Lei narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Yes, "Yi Jin Jing"!"

The two monks nodded quickly.

"Then read a few passages and listen to them, and I'll learn too."

Sun Lei looked at the two fake monks and laughed.

"Isn't the super-dumb reciting the "Lotus Sutra" and "Diamond Sutra"? What kind of scripture is this "Yi Jin Jing"?"

Lu Zhishen stroked his bald head and became puzzled. He has been a monk for so long and he is proficient in Buddhism. The sutras that monks recite are similar all over the world, and there are some sutras that he has never heard of.
