Beginning as a Tantric Academy Monk
Chapter 555: The Temple of Offering to the God of Wealth
Chapter 555: The Temple of Offering to the God of Wealth (Part )
The pen strokes are so powerful that even Lu Feng himself can feel the madness of the person writing when looking at the strokes of the words.
Fortunately, this little madness is nothing to Lu Feng.
"I'll watch from here, and you guys go and have a look to see if there are any other clues. Be careful and don't be careless."
Lu Feng ordered, and the "Bayin Lotus Picture" said, "Yes, we all save it!"
He just walked out towards Lu Feng and turned to leave.
Lu Feng quickly flipped through the booklet and found some information among the crazy words in it. Lu Feng looked at the information he had summarized and said to himself slowly: "The taxes are too heavy, even the temple can't afford it?
That’s really interesting.”
Amidst those confusing words, Lu Feng accurately found one of the reasons why Buddhism was not flourishing.
Only the reason was found - "Too many taxes and levies". When the monk said this, even Lu Feng frowned slightly.
To be honest, there is no need to cover up for the temples on this point. Whether in the Central Plains, the "Secret Dharma Realm", or the "Grassland", most temples are tax-free, and medium and large temples are all "landlords" and "rentiers".
In the "Secret Dharma Realm", the big temples are the rulers, and together with the state government and the chieftains, they have formed a tight rule, like a dragnet, firmly grasping the entire "Secret Dharma Realm" in their hands. Small temples, like the Sunrise Temple, are also supported by the surrounding villagers, and every year they have to take out the prescribed "butter", "tsampa" and many other supplies to support the temples.
They live much better than ordinary people. Under such circumstances, all these "exorbitant taxes" come from themselves. They are the ones who exploit others. They are the masters and the ones who grab the big hands. Under such circumstances, although there are monks who "can dedicate their enlightenment to the many people who worship them" so that many people can share the blessings. With such "compassionate hearts" and "bodhi vows", how many monks can become Buddhas?
Those are all words that come later.
The consequences of stopping this exploitation are also obvious.
However, in this "diary" and on this "grassland", a temple called "Da Shi'en Temple" was complaining about too many "excessive taxes and levies", which made the temple "live in misery", which made Lu Feng a little surprised.
How could it be so strange?
It is true that we cannot make rash judgments about the words in this world. Even if something is 100% true, there may be exceptions.
Lu Feng thought about this and turned the pages of the booklet in his hand quickly, looking for traces. This monk did not write anyone's name in this "diary". All the names that could be called names were replaced by words such as "senior brother", "junior fellow", "elder", etc., as if he was avoiding something.
Even temples are referred to as "this temple" or "that temple".
If I were not a member of this temple, I would not be able to tell where this temple came from just by looking at this "diary".
As for the other forces, they are referred to as "this", "that", "that place", "those dirty hearts and lungs" and so on. These things caused great trouble to Lu Feng's reading.
This was nothing for a great monk. While reading at high speed, Lu Feng could tell that this monk was of high status. Not to mention the words he could still recognize even though he was crazy, they were all Chinese characters, and there were even some numbers among them, which showed that this monk was extremely skilled in the business of "Ye Ba".
Even in his "diary", we often see how superiors address their subordinates. He has the final say on many matters, big or small.
From this we can see that he should at least be a "manager monk"-like figure.
This "manager monk" - let's call him that for now, calls the "existences" that collect their "exorbitant taxes" "dirty things", "skinned tricks in hell", "despised by the Bodhisattva" and so on. His words are full of hatred, and it seems that if he had not been unable to kill them with his curse, then these things would have been eliminated by him.
To stop these "dirty things" - they obeyed the owner of the "diary" and spoke of the "existence" of these "heavy taxes and levies". Judging from the curses recorded by the owner of the "diary", these "dirty things" came to the temple at a very fixed time.
Lu Feng quickly flipped through the "diary", and then he knew what this "dirty thing" was most likely.
"It turned out to be a caravan."
"The caravan heading to the 'grassland', stop this 'caravan', what a strong move."
From the monk's words in this "diary", Lu Feng could tell that the "temple" mentioned by the "monk" also had some reliance on the "caravan", and was even more afraid of it.
Therefore, it can be said that this "caravan on the grassland" took advantage and almost emptied the entire temple!
Even a temple like "Da Shi'en Temple" cannot be challenged!
Besides, the reasons why Buddhism is not flourishing here are more than just the “excessive taxes and levies” that he mentioned.
Lu Feng continued to read and saw the following, those "obstacles who ignored the Dharma" and "suppressed the Dharma", and "persecuted" and "restricted" monks. At this time, the monk not only wrote down Juanjuan's arrogant words, but also had some inappropriate thoughts.
Of course, without saying it explicitly, it was a bit of a "using the past to make one's will clear", and it seemed that he wanted to take some action against these "harsh" people. However, all these things were just on paper, which was just talk. When it came to the word "suppression", Lu Feng saw familiar words.
One nine, two nines, three nines, and there are still a lot of "laws" that go beyond the commandments! Seeing this, Lu Feng closed the booklet.
in this case,
"The 'Da Shi'en Temple', the submerged 'Da Shi'en Temple', also appeared after the 'Lifan Yuan Yamen' was established? At least the monk who wrote this booklet was constrained by the 'Lifan Yuan Yamen' at that time, when the 'Lifan Yuan Yamen' was located, and he was resentful of it.
It seems that the origin of this "caravan" is a bit strange.
Is it someone from the "Lifanyuan Yamen" or someone at a higher level, using the knife to weaken the monks?
Since this caravan dared to lend money at high interest rates to these monks without any destruction, what profit did they gain?"
What is important in a temple? What is coveted?
There is so much, wealth, wisdom, and magic power.
Lu Feng thought of these almost immediately. Just looking at what was said above, many of the "silk cloth", "tea leaves", "fine white rice flour", "fine honey" and other items used to offer to Buddha came from the caravan. These things were not necessarily produced by the "caravan", but they were all needed by the temple.
According to what the monk said, this temple has been exploited and has become like this. If these items are traded, these monks might even have to sell their Dharma lineage!
It's a pity that apart from these words, there is no other information in this booklet. They are just things used to vent emotions.
But Lu Feng gained nothing.
What he gained was not what was mentioned before. What Lu Feng gained was the same as what his "secret master" and "old monk Akang" had said back then - the original "secret domain" and even the "grassland" did not have such turmoil. If there is a "deacon monk" who has achieved success in practice and is thus "invaded by the three poisons", it will not be long before he will be entangled by "karma".
At that time, wisdom and compassion, the original Buddha and the Bodhisattva will respond to the "three poisons" in him and leave him. He will no longer have "wisdom by his side", "compassion and protection", or "the love of the Bodhisattva". The "monk" turned into a "sly evil" in the blink of an eye.
"I have no idea how long I can stay here. If I can't escape from this sea of suffering, I will probably sink here sooner or later and never be able to escape!"
Lu Feng warned himself and urged himself. From these words alone, it is impossible to tell the conclusion of the temple's destruction and the "life-seeking ghost".
However, the Buddhist disciple of "Bayin Lotus Picture" is not a person who "speaks nonsense". If he says so, there must be a reason for saying so.
Lu Feng put the book away and came to the backyard, where he found that all the "Buddha's disciples" had sorted out the things he had dug out and put them aside. The "intention" that was scattered in the air was almost gone at this moment. When they saw Brother "Yong Zhen" coming out, they all bowed and praised his name.
"Senior Brother Yongzhen."
Seeing only this scene, people who don’t know would think that “Yong Zhen” is the “high monk official” of their temple!
Lu Feng nodded at them and saw the "rattan box" on the ground, some words, and some broken Buddha statues. These were all valuable items. There were also some worthless items left, which were all swept aside.
"What have you discovered from these things?"
Lu Feng asked, and "Bayin Lotus Picture" said: "I have made some discoveries. I would like to ask Brother Yongzhen to protect us. Only then can I tell you some things."
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
When Lu Feng heard this, a river of "sexual power" flowed within his "sexual intention" and surrounded the place.
The monks dared to speak only after seeing this scene.
It's not that except for Senior Brother Yongzhen, no one else would use this method. The main thing is that at this moment, everyone is in a state of "strange rhyme entanglement", even if they try to do it, it will not work.
When Lu Feng's "sexual intention" captured everyone, the "Bayin Lotus Picture" began to open the blood-soaked wicker box on the ground and took out some words from the wicker box.
These words contained blood stains, and "Bayin Lotus Picture" handed them over to Lu Feng to see. While giving these objects to Lu Feng, he told Lu Feng about their findings.
"Brother, please see that our observations are also very superficial, just like a child who wants to eat and checks whether there is brown sugar or honey in the bowl.
So all these words come from what these monks said.
Their words came from inside the rattan box.
Many monks carefully used many Buddha statues and treasures to protect it.
Many of these Buddha statues and treasures were broken into pieces, but the texts were preserved. Just like the booklet mentioned above, it was also left in a relic box. The relics inside disappeared, but the texts were passed down.
From what we have seen, these monks are the last living monks in the entire "Da Shi'en Temple". They sealed themselves in the dungeon as a last resort.
Even if you want to protect the few Dharma traditions and Dharma lineages with your own life, according to what we have observed, neither the Dharma tradition nor the Dharma lineage can be found anymore - it is just as I said, dig three feet below and three feet above.
But those words have been preserved.”
While speaking, "Bayin Lotus Picture" found evidence from these things full of the smell of rust and handed it to Lu Feng.
There are even blood words on the monk’s robes.
Lu Feng nodded slowly as he read the words. It must be said that "Buddha" is more useful than "Yeba". After being "educated", the cost of communication is indeed reduced a lot.
After glancing over these pieces of evidence, "Bayin Lotus Picture" said carefully: "The remaining type of evidence is related to the second temple.
It is called the 'Auspicious Bodhisattva Dharma Temple'."
"Bayin Lotus Picture" continued, "The second temple below was also discovered by the 'Da Shi'en Temple'.
Originally, according to the temple's intention, it was natural to just treat this place as if there was no temple underneath. But later on, as a last resort, someone still wanted to take this thing away.
It has become like this, not for anything else, but to pay off the debt.
At that time, the 'person' who came to collect the debt was not as gentle as before, so according to the above words, he always looked like a 'life-seeking ghost'.
In the end, this "Great Temple of Grace" tried every possible means, but it seemed unable to repay its debts.
Therefore, the 'ligui' came and razed the temple to the ground. "
Said the Bayin Lotus Picture.
Lu Feng nodded slightly, and then his hand stroked the last dead monk - Lu Feng could indeed see that he should be the last monk to be protected by everyone, and also the last monk to die.
His hand touched the man's bones. Without any salvation, he already felt "anger" and "resentment", which were like needles pricking Lu Feng's hands.
But Lu Feng didn't need to do it himself, nor did he need to let "Gangcuo" eat the "grudge". As soon as his fingers turned, "Yaksha Ligui" would naturally appear, bring back the last of his "poisonous thoughts" and return them to his original body.
Lu Feng withdrew his hand, and in front of him, many people with the same indignant mood appeared!
Let’s start with Dark Day!
