A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 656: Breaking down mountains and cutting down temples
"Abbott, save me!"

"Abbott, save me!"

When a great monk weighing about 200 kilograms was pulled into the pit, he cried like a child weighing more than 200 kilograms.

But no matter how he shouted, the remaining great monks all had their heads lowered, not daring to raise their heads to look up, for fear that if they took one more look, they would be pulled over and buried together.

Wang Xuanjing looked at everything in front of him calmly. In this kind of world, when people everywhere were starved for food, they could still eat well. One can imagine how much people's wealth and nourishment this monk has squeezed out over the years. What's more, he also helps manage the temple property.

Wang Xuanjing knew without any guessing that this monk must be the kind of person who has done all kinds of bad things.

Seeing that the last bit of soil had been filled in, Wang Xuanjing said to Fu Yi next to him: "Fu Taishi, I think it will definitely work this time. Two eminent monks will go down and personally persuade the Buddha. I believe that the Buddha will definitely appear. From now on." It grew out of the soil!”

"Yes, yes, Zhongshu Ling will definitely succeed this time!" Fu Yi then shouted to the people around him: "Folks, you are lucky today. Today is about to open your eyes. The Buddha will appear. From now on, you will These people are proud enough!”

Wang Xuanjing had people put up the incense table and offered incense in person to worship. The people around him also followed suit and worshiped together. The scene was full of gestures.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no response. Wang Xuanjing stood up and said with an unswerving expression: "I personally led the people to sincerely worship the Buddha. I also specially sent two masters there. There is no movement from the Buddha yet!"

He has made a lot of money in the temple over the years, even if he confesses the matter, he will not be able to be a monk in the future. Anyway, he has made a lot of money in the temple over the years, and he will just leave with his wife when the time comes. When the time comes, he will have a wife and children, and his life will not be bad.

In order to survive, the monk tried his best to say that he was not sincere in worshiping Buddha and told all his scandals, just to get Wang Xuanjing to let him go.

"Shangguan, from what I see below, it must be that those two masters are not profound enough in Buddhism and cannot invite the Buddha. In my opinion, another highly respected master needs to be sent to persuade him in person." Fu Yi said cooperatively.

"You are not sincere in worshiping the Buddha, and you dare to marry and have children. How can you let him go if you violate the rules and regulations of the temple? Come on, send him down and go to the Buddha in person to ask for his sins and repent!"

"What Fu Taishi said makes sense, and this is what we should do!" Wang Xuan nodded and pointed at another great monk and said: "I think you have a dignified appearance, and you must be a person who is proficient in Buddhism. I will leave it to you to persuade the Buddha to manifest his sainthood." There you go."

Wang Xuanjing waved his hand, and several soldiers immediately stepped forward to catch the monk, threw him into the pit, and buried him. Seeing Wang Xuanjing behaving like this, the remaining eminent monks could no longer hold on and knelt down and kowtowed to spare their lives.

Seeing Wang Xuanjing pointing his finger at him, the fat monk was so frightened that his feet went weak. He shouted loudly: "My lord, please spare my life! My lord, please spare your life! This villain is not sincere in worshiping the Buddha. He has a seventy-year-old mother. Privately, I have a wife and two children. I really can’t please the Buddha!”

Fu Yi next to him sneered: "Of course it is the Buddhist spirit of the masters that made the Buddha appear!"

The figure of Master Hongzhen next to him was shaky, and he no longer had the dignified image he had before.

"How did this Pure Water Living Buddha appear?"

Wang Xuanjing said angrily: "Impossible, how come they can manifest the spirit, but they can't do it when it comes to me? It must be that these monks did not persuade me when they got down there, or they deliberately made trouble to prevent the Buddha from appearing!"

"Hurry up and send someone down to explain to the Buddha. If the Buddha disagrees, then send more masters to persuade me. I believe that as long as I persist, the Buddha will definitely favor me!"

After hearing Wang Xuanjing's words, the remaining monks could no longer hold on. They don't want to die, let alone die in this torture-like way. Fu Yi, who was next to him, ordered someone to lift up a great monk who kept kowtowing. As soon as the great monk was lifted up, a smell of urine came out. Everyone looked down and saw the hem of the great monk's robe. Everything is already wet.

"You are still a master, why are you so disrespectful of etiquette and drowning in public!" Fu Yi said with a look of disgust.

"What's going on with this living Buddha emerging from pure water?"

"Shangguan, I don't know. Hui'an led people to do this. I really don't know!"

"How did Hui'an do it?" Wang Xuanjing asked.

"It was Hui'an who took a fancy to the two hundred acres of paddy fields owned by Zhang Da's family, so he asked a fortune teller to go and tell him that his family wanted to be rich and powerful, and asked them to find a Feng Shui treasure land to move their graves."

"Hui'an has already gone down, and the Buddha has not appeared. How can we believe your statement?" Fu Yi asked.

The great monk was frightened and quickly called several other great monks to testify. When the people around heard what these monks said, they quickly remembered that they had encountered similar things before, and they immediately cursed these bald donkeys.

"Well, you thief monks, we sincerely worship the Buddha, but you deceive us like this? It's a waste of our devotion to the Buddha!"

After hearing what the monks did, the people around were furious. You know, many people donated all their wealth to the temple, and now these monks come out and say that they cheated you!
"Folks, these monks are all lying. This so-called Pure Water Living Buddha is also their trick."

"Come here, dig out this Buddha statue for me!" Wang Xuanjing ordered directly.

Immediately, several soldiers started to dig up the Buddha statue that had half of its body exposed. Soon, a Buddha statue was dug out. It was seen that this Buddha statue was exactly the same as an ordinary stone Buddha statue, without any difference.

When the people around were still wondering why the Buddha statue grew out of the ground, Wang Xuanjing stepped forward in person, took out a shovel, and with one shovel, a large number of white and tender bean sprouts were shoveled out of the ground.

"Look at what this is." Wang Xuanjing sneered: "The living Buddha who comes out of purified water is just watering the bean sprouts!"

Master Hongzhen, who had been silent all this time, finally said: "Zhongshu Ling, why is this happening!"

"Why is this so?" Wang Xuanjing sneered and said, "This temple has 20,000 acres of land. I just asked you several times, how much did you say? More than 5,000 acres!"

"Haha, let's not talk about how much land there is. How did you get so much land? You must know better than me, Zhongshu Ling!"

"Did the Buddha tell you monks to occupy land? Did the Buddha teach you to use this kind of deception to deceive the people? Did the Buddha ever ask you to loan money to the people?"

"Are you afraid now? Should the people whose bones you knocked and sucked out their marrow deserve to die?"

Hongzhen was speechless. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He slumped back a few steps and fell directly to the ground. He understood that this time it was all over and he had become a sinner in Buddhism.
