At the beginning of Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, I can transfer experience

Chapter 101 Donate money and food, the general trend of the world

In the Main Hall, everyone looked at each other with incomprehensible expressions.

The note was passed around in the hands of everyone, and in the huge hall, the only sound of the note being passed around could be heard in the silence.

Every once in a while, a monk would whisper a line about Amitabha, and then look into the void.

Kong Kong's expression remained as usual, but he sighed in his heart. It's so difficult to be an abbot!
"Everyone, tell me what you think?"

After everyone read the contents on the note, Kong Kong looked at everyone.

The content on the note was very simple, asking for money and food.

But the problem is that the person who wants money and food is not the Luozhou Prefect, but the rebel Taiping Sect.

Same behavior, completely different results.

At present, the Taiping Rebellion is in full swing and is known to the whole world. Although the momentum is huge, there are only a few optimistic people.

As the number one force in Luozhou, Futu Temple receives mostly news about the Taiping Sect every day.

Today it is reported that the Taiping Sect has captured a city here, and tomorrow it is reported that the Taiping Sect has captured a place there.

The latest news shows that the Taiping Sect has occupied most of Baishi Prefecture. Baishi Prefecture is a transportation fortress state. It can advance, attack, retreat and defend. It can be said that it has completely established a foothold.

Baishi Prefecture is only a few cities away from Luo Prefecture. If the Taiping Sect's victory trend continues, it won't take long to completely occupy Baishi Prefecture, and then use Baishi Prefecture as a base to launch an attack on Luo Prefecture, a land of grain production.

however,
These are just the conjectures of Kong Kong and others. The Taiping Sect has not yet completely occupied Baishi Prefecture, let alone Luo Prefecture.

Seeing no one to speak, Kong Kong gave two pieces of news.

The first news is that the forces that received this letter are not only the Futu Temple, but also many top forces in Luozhou, Baishi Prefecture and Guyang Prefecture. The purpose is self-evident, asking for money and food.

The second news is that Luozhou Prefect has formed an army and built a defensive wall. If the Taiping Religion attacks Luozhou, the Prefect can respond immediately. At present, the Prefect is also raising money and food from various forces, including Buddha Temple.

After telling everyone these two pieces of news, someone finally said, "Since the Zhou Wei is also asking for money and food, it would be better to help the Zhou Wei fight against the Taiping Sect."

"That's right. If we give it to the Taiping Sect, if the state captain finds out about it and the incident comes to light, I'm afraid we will be labeled as colluding with the rebels."

"Moreover, the Taiping Sect is just a bunch of rabble, taking advantage of the chaotic situation of the imperial court. How can it compete with the imperial army? I'm afraid it won't be long before they are wiped out by the army of state captains."

"What my junior brother said is absolutely true. Besides, the Taiping Sect has not yet invaded Luozhou, and even Baishi Prefecture has not been completely controlled. As for the threats in the letter, we can let it go for the time being. But if we lend food to the Taiping Sect, I'm afraid it won't take long. The state captain will know about it, and I'm afraid that we will be wiped out by the army before we can wait for the Taiping Sect's return."

"..."

Everyone explained the pros and cons of it in one word. Most people supported Zhou Wei for many reasons, but in general, the current advantage lies with Zhou Wei.

Although Futu Temple is located on the edge of Luozhou, it is like a local emperor. The place currently occupied by the Taiping Sect in Baishi Prefecture is still a long way from Futu Temple. Even if you want to take revenge, you have to see if the state captain is the same. agree.

In this case, there is nothing to worry about. Nearly half of the leaders do not support the gift of money and food to the Taiping Sect. After everyone finished speaking, they looked at Kong Kong and suggested that they had already made it, and the next step was Kong's decision.

They also wanted to see if the successor to the abbot, Kong Kong, would act according to their ideas, or would choose to find another way. Kong Kong naturally noticed everyone's gaze, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and thought in his heart: "How would Senior Brother Kongshan handle this matter? "

Although Sorayama likes to save face, he has a strong sense of the overall situation and a lot of management skills, which is far beyond what a newbie like Kong can compare with. Therefore, when he makes decisions, he will subconsciously take on the role of Sorayama.

"Brother Abbot, may I ask how the forces that received the envelope were chosen?" At this moment, Kong Shui asked.

After hearing this, Kong Kong opened his eyes and looked at Kong Shui, thought for a while and said: "Currently, those who have received the letter are Baiyun Gang, Lingjian Sect and Futu Temple. Baiyun Gang has a firm attitude and supports Zhou Wei and will not provide any trace to Taiping Sect. Gang leader, although the Lingjian Sect has not yet given a reply, it is leaning towards the Zhou Wei, because the Zhou Wei has already sent people to the Lingjian Sect, presumably for money and food."

"We are the only ones left in Luozhou who have not yet given a reply. Some news has also come from Baishi Prefecture. Most of the forces in Baishi Prefecture have handed over money and food to ensure safety. However, there are also forces that are unwilling to associate with the Taiping Sect, such as Black Iron Villa. It is said that the Black Iron Villa Iron Mountain Villa forged many weapons and armors and provided them to the government for use against the Taiping Religion."

At this point, Kong Kong has actually understood what Kong Shui meant. Since Kong can't make a decision himself, then let's see how others make decisions. It doesn't make much sense to look at Baishi State. Among the many forces in Luozhou, almost none of them are big. The forces agreed to pay money and food to the Taiping Sect. In this way, the answer was obvious.

After thinking for a long time, he was not a hesitant person. With the combination of various factors, he quickly made a decision, and then said to everyone: "In this case, there is no need to pay attention to this letter. If the state captain asks for money and food, I will lend it to you." part."

After hearing this, everyone nodded, then dispersed and left.

……

Chen Shuai, who had practiced the indestructible power of the Vajra, found that his skin had become harder, and there was a faint tendency to transform into golden skin. Fortunately, this change was only a temporary phenomenon and did not last long.

In addition, Chen Shuai also discovered that the Vajra Indestructible Magic also increased speed, but because the Vajra Indestructible Magic has not yet been introduced, the increase in speed is not very large.During the day, Chen Shuai stayed in the Sutra Pavilion, improving his cultivation steadily and slowly. His strength became stronger and stronger as time went by, and he was improving almost every moment.

Today, Chen Shuai has broken through to the second level of Condensation Pill with the help of the powerful effect of Arhat's Demon Subduing Magic. Although he has not tested his strength, according to Chen Shuai's various comparisons, he found that his Yuan Power is not weaker than three Kongshui. The four of them were empty. Except for a few people in the entire Buddha Temple, almost no one was their opponent.

At night, Chen Shuai used demons and ghosts to conduct experiments as usual, and soon he completely controlled the first iron tree. As long as he wanted, he could control the demons and ghosts to make the iron tree break off its roots like a gecko, and then emerge from the soil and walk like a human. On the earth, but Chen Shuai did not do this. The consequence of doing so is that Tieshu will die soon.

Chen Shuai spent the past two days in such silence, and the same should have been true of Futu Temple, but with the arrival of a letter, everything changed.

"The Black Iron Villa in Baishi Prefecture was destroyed by the Taiping Sect. Nearly ten thousand people in the villa were all beheaded in public display!"

This is the news coming from the bottom of the mountain. A few words cannot describe the cruelty of the Taiping Sect.

After Kong Kong and others saw the news, they all fell silent. When Kong Kong was discussing with everyone, he mentioned Black Iron Villa. He originally thought that with the support of Black Iron Villa, the Baishi State army and government would be able to hold on for a while, but they didn't. Thinking of the Taiping Sect's revenge coming so quickly.

What the many monks at Futu Temple did not expect was that the Taiping Sect directly beheaded everyone in the villa in public. The cruelty of their methods made everyone feel uncomfortable and a little afraid.

Fortunately, the shock that this news brought to everyone gradually subsided with the arrival of Zhou Wei's subordinates. Not long after the news arrived at Futu Temple, Zhou Wei's subordinates rushed to Futu Temple with a group of people. They were very surprised. He politely stated his purpose of coming, and Kong Kong and others were already prepared. After talking about this, Kong Kong reluctantly took out part of the money and food he had prepared in advance, but this part did not satisfy the other party. In desperation, Kong Kong had to take out some of the money and food he had prepared in advance. The remaining money and food.

In this way, the other party left with satisfaction.

After Zhou Wei's subordinates left, more and more refugees gathered at the foot of the Buddha Temple. They were either fleeing, selling their children, or selling themselves, and so on. At the same time, the prices of various items at the foot of the mountain were As prices rise, poor people find it increasingly difficult to survive.

Kong quickly realized the seriousness of the situation, so he held several discussions and meetings, intending to temporarily shrink the sphere of influence of the Buddha Temple, sell off many irrelevant forces, purchase money and food on the market, and then bring it back to the Buddha Temple.

So during this period, not only were there more refugees at the foot of the mountain, but also many lay disciples of the Buddha Temple came from all over the place to transport large quantities of materials to the mountain, and then left to continue preparing more materials.

There are already people who are keenly aware of the unusual atmosphere of Futu Temple, and do not do any tasks. They stay in the temple every day and practice martial arts in addition to chanting sutras.

More and more news of the Taiping Sect's victory came from the bottom of the mountain. The army formed by Baishi Prefecture seemed to have become a joke. In just two days, the Taiping Sect captured three cities, and every time they reached a city, they directly attacked To liquidate those forces that were once unwilling to lend money and food, there is simply no reason to do anything other than wipe out their families.

Another two days have passed, and Chen Shuai has mastered the Dragon Elephant Golden Body Technique, but unfortunately, his strength has not increased, but his breathing has become longer, his internal organs are vigorous and powerful, and he drives a lot of energy all the time. Blood.

Now he felt that he was like a furnace, emitting a large amount of heat all the time, so that some weak monsters did not dare to take the initiative to approach him.

In addition to the progress in his cultivation, Chen Shuai's experiments have also made great progress. From the initial control of one iron tree, there are now ten. Although demons and ghosts die every day, there are clear lines. No matter how many demons and ghosts die, they can make up for it, and because the second batch of demons and ghosts do not need to consume too much demon power, they can survive longer.

In the past two days, in addition to his own affairs, Chen Shuai occasionally paid attention to news from the outside world. The Taiping Sect was gaining momentum and captured two cities again. It can be said that among the eighteen cities in Baishi Prefecture, there are already Fifteen cities belong to the Taiping Sect.

And this is not the most terrifying thing about the Taiping Religion. The most terrifying thing is that the Taiping Religion fights on three fronts. One army continues to fight against Baishi Prefecture, one army launches an attack on Luo Prefecture, and another one launches an attack on Guyang Prefecture. attack.

Luozhou withstood the attack of the Taiping Religion, but Guyang Prefecture was not so lucky. It lost a city on the first day. It is said that the reason for the failure of this city was very simple. It was a large-scale attack by internal personnel. The door directly let the Taiping Sect in, and these internal members were none other than the soldiers guarding the city.

As soon as this incident came out, the whole world was in an uproar. No one thought that without knowing it, the Taiping Sect would develop so fast and gain so much support from the people. Although no one cared about the so-called popular support, no one dared to ignore it. The public sentiment is terrible.

There have been more and more discoveries that the Taiping Sect has become a climate, but on the other hand, there is still no movement in Kyoto. Instead, they frequently order the local army to quell the war, but they only have a letter of documents, no money and no food. .

Chen Shuai was slightly surprised when he learned about the Taiping Sect's deeds. The speed of the siege was really a bit fast. It would be short-sighted to say that the Taiping Sect is a mob. This is not the Taiping Sect of the previous life, but a Taiping Sect composed of many warriors. , to be able to set off such a storm in the Zhou Dynasty is enough to show that its power is quite unstoppable.

When the Taiping Religion was at its peak, the people of Futu Temple became impetuous. Many monks were recalled to the temple, a large number of material secrets were transported, various expenses became frugal, and countless refugees died at the foot of the mountain. But there is still an endless stream of people who come and succeed.

These are not important. The most important thing is that after discussing with the leaders, Kong decided to send a group of monks down the mountain. In the past, the world was peaceful and the family of Futu Temple had a great business, so they could naturally afford to support the servants. But now the current situation is turbulent, and Tai Too many handymen would be a waste of rations, so when someone proposed this idea, many leaders acquiesced. After all, it was not the real civil and military monks who were sent down the mountain, but the handymen. There were already many handymen in the Futu Temple.

The operation started very quickly. In less than a day, people were notified one after another to come down the mountain. Although there were few people in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, both Jie Nan and Chen Shuai were informed that they were about to be sent down the mountain. When Chen Shuai learned the news, people He was a little confused. After learning about it, he cried and fainted.

The monks of Zhenzhi gave Chen Shuai and Jie Nan half a day to pack their things. If they didn't pack their things, they planned to take them away directly. However, after Chen Shuai packed their things, emptiness suddenly came, leaving Chen Shuai behind.

After the true monk learned about it, he should have obeyed, so he let Chen Shuai stay. However, Jie Nan was not so lucky and was taken directly down the mountain. Fortunately, there was still some severance expenses for his dismissal, otherwise it would have been like Jie Nan It is difficult for a penniless person to gain a foothold at the foot of the mountain.

From Yaogui's mouth, I learned that Chen Shuai's stay was not a special case, because Jingse also stayed. This made Chen Shuai know that the reason why the two of them were able to stay might be because of Kongxiang.

Kong still feels guilty towards Kong Xiang, because Kong Xiang has mentioned Chen Shuai and Jingse in Kong’s ears many times, so Kong not only gave them the opportunity to re-test their Buddha nature, but now allowed them to stay together. Come down.

"Kong Xiang, although you are dead, I have inherited your love twice, Amitabha!"

Chen Shuai murmured, his mood not changing at all, as if he was stationed in the Sutra Pavilion as usual, but now he was the only one left in the huge Sutra Pavilion.
