Powerful

Chapter 270 Do you have any regrets?
(One update!)
Mingde Temple is located in the east of Longshan Mountain, more than ten miles away from Longshan Mountain. It is a famous temple in Xiangyang.It is built on the mountain, although it is not as majestic as Jingzhao Dingyuan Temple, but it does not have a sense of heaven and earth.
It is because of the mountain it rests on, which is better than the luxuriant forest, elegant and green, which makes Mingde Temple more fairyland atmosphere, attracting pilgrims and believers from all over the place, so the incense is at its peak.

At this moment, the inside and outside of Mingde Temple was full of flames, and the meditation hall at the back of the temple continued to hear the sound of battles, cries of pain, and a strong smell of blood. It was originally a quiet and peaceful temple, but at first glance it looked like a purgatory on earth.

The monks and monks of Mingde Temple gathered outside the mountain gate of Mingde Temple, listening to the faint screams, their faces were full of confusion and fear. ——Most of them don't know what happened.

When they were about to go to bed after the evening class, they were urgently called out by the abbot, and then... Then they saw many soldiers rushing into the meditation hall with torches in their hands. Except for the light of the fire and the screams, nothing else was seen or heard .

Some monks sat cross-legged on the ground and began to recite the "Great Compassion Mantra" silently, trying to block these screams and blood, so as to achieve inner peace and integrity.

Holding the torch, Shen Du looked coldly at the shivering abbot of Mingde Temple, and asked aloud, "Master, have you ever regretted it?"

Have you ever regretted accepting these Tibetan soldiers?Have you ever regretted being in touch with the Grand General's Mansion?Have you ever regretted getting involved with power?Have you ever regretted bringing today's disaster to Mingde Temple?
The abbot of Mingde Temple looked at Shen Du in horror, trembling and unable to say anything.He knew what Shen Du asked, but he didn't know how to reply.

Shen Du looked away from him, and looked at the gate of Mingde Temple with the firelight, as if thinking of something, his eyes were far away, and his tone became lonely: "In the past, Dingyuan Temple protected the Taizu, so he had to be named the God of Protecting the Nation. Later, the Shaolin Temple used incense money to help the Taizu raise troops and save the people from the fire and water, so the land was forever given to the government and the officials did not accept it. This is why the two temples are famous all over the world..."

He paused, then glanced at the abbot again, and continued: "The monks emphasize purity and inaction, not caring about worldly affairs. Pursuing sentient beings is not just a sentence of Buddha's words. Serving the country and the people is practice; If you have life in your heart, it is Buddhism. Dare I ask Master, what are you doing now? Do you have any regrets in your heart?"

The abbot of Mingde Temple wrestled with his legs, stared at Shen Du with wide eyes, as if he couldn't even breathe, finally fell to the ground, lowered his head, and murmured remorsefully: "I'm wrong, I'm wrong ..."

Shen Du didn't look at him again, nor did he show any more compassion.The flames and blood in Mingde Temple were all due to the abbot's greed for power for a while. , I am afraid that he will never be redeemed for the rest of his life.

Liu Jinyun and Su Shiyong listened to Shen Duzhi's words, and then looked at his face under the firelight, so young and resolute.They couldn't help feeling admiration in their hearts.Yes, to serve the country and the people is to cultivate; to have common people in your heart is to practice Buddhism, and this is the truth!

"Amitabha. The poor monk has been taught. Thank you for your words. I am enlightened. Today I realize the way of practice and Buddhism. Amitabha, Amitabha." An old monk who was sitting cross-legged suddenly stood up and clasped his hands together towards Shen Du.

He was very old, with kind eyes, and seemed to be on the verge of enlightenment, and was bowing his head to thank Shen Du.

Shen Du hurriedly returned the Buddhist ceremony.He just saw this fire and this temple, and felt it for a while, and he didn't deserve the master's thanks.

The fire in Mingde Temple was still on, but the sound of fighting gradually weakened.Just when Liu Jinyun, Shen Du and others were about to enter Mingde Temple, there was a rush of "dede" horseshoes, and then several horsemen appeared in front of them.

The horse in the front carried two people, and the older one had a mighty look on his face.Under the light of the fire, one can clearly see the falcon's emerald grass pattern embroidered on his shoulder sleeves.This person is the Xiangyang Wei General Luo Bingguang!
Shen Du stood calmly, then looked at the visitor with a smile: The legendary General Luo finally appeared.But, why did he share a ride with others?

He looked closely, only to find that under Luo Bingguang's might, it was hard to hide his pale face.Oh, it turns out that General Luo seems to be injured, why is that?
Liu Jinyun on the side had already stepped forward, and said with a smile: "I have seen the general before, I really didn't expect to see the general here. Are you all right?"

His earnest eyes fell on Luo Bingguang, and it sounded like that.But the meaning is tacit to each other. When did he meet Luo Bingguang?How did Luo Bingguang look unharmed at this moment?
Hearing these words, Luo Bingguang's breath was stagnant, and he immediately put on a coercion, and replied in a deep voice: "I just came back from other places, and I heard the general report that there is something wrong here. What's going on in Mingde Temple? How could there be fire and fighting?"

What he is most concerned about now is how many of the five thousand private soldiers hidden in Mingde Temple are left.But seeing the stable expressions on the faces of Liu Jinyun and the others, he knew he was late.It is not known whether those soldiers were captured or killed.

Five hundred Huben soldiers, plus 5000 Xinyang Guard soldiers, the 10 people he hid did not have much chance of winning.He has [-] Xiangyang guards, but in this situation, can he transfer these [-] people?Unless, he intends to rebel!

Rebellion, how is it possible?There are not enough soldiers and horses, there is not enough food and grass, and the trend of peace is set, how dare he rebel now?
These 5000 people, these 5000 people... Luo Bingguang felt anxious, and couldn't help shaking slightly.Luo Yi beside him had sharp eyes and quick hands, and immediately supported him.

There was anger in Luo Yi's eyes, and he wished he could kill Liu Jinyun and others alive on the spot!It was because of these people that my father vomited blood and couldn't even ride a horse.He will definitely avenge this revenge!

"General, be careful. There's nothing going on in the meditation hall of the temple now, and I just want to go in and have a look. Would the general be willing to go with you?" Liu Jinyun also saw Luo Bingguang's movements, and asked like this.

He knew that even if he didn't invite, Luo Bingguang would definitely go in.But so what?His side has already taken the lead, and the situation inside has been settled, so he wants to see what Luo Bingguang has to say!

The unsatisfactory past few days had already made the servant of the household department feel a lot of anger in his heart.Even if the opponent is a third-rank general, he is fearless!

This time, he must successfully complete the task of ordering troops, so that there will be no redundant soldiers in the guards and no waste in the court. This is his goal, and no one can stand in front of him!

"Master, you can go with us too." Shen Du said as he supported the abbot of Mingde Temple.When there are some things later, I have to ask the abbot for advice.

In this way, a group of people stepped into Mingde Temple.After passing through the Sutra Pavilion, Luo Bingguang's heart was throbbing again, because most of the people who fell on the ground were residents in monk's clothes.These are his soldiers.

On the broad lectern of Mingde Temple, there are more monks with buns.They were kneeling on the ground.Beside them were Huben soldiers and Xinyang Guard soldiers pointing at them with long knives.

When those monks saw Luo Bingguang, their eyes brightened, and they shouted anxiously: "General! Help us!"

General, save us!There were cries for help one after another. Obviously, everyone knew that these monks had a close relationship with Luo Bingguang.

Liu Jinyun stopped, and asked with a half-smile: "General, I'm curious: Why did these people call you to save them? I wonder if the general can help you?"

Luo Bingguang's face was covered with dark clouds, his eyes shot out a murderous intent, and he stared at Liu Jinyun without saying a word.
