A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

On a dirt bunker outside the city, a group of people were in a daze.

This group of people, both monks and Taoists, were sitting or standing in a very bad mood.

A monk looked in the direction of the imperial city and said with a painful expression: "What was that just now? It was a big lump! It just ascended to heaven..."

"It was upgraded twice."

"Are you afraid it's a mythical beast?"

"possible."

"What if it's a dragon?"

"Shenlong?"

That's scary!

The monk said sadly: "Then Shen An just breaks the witchcraft. After all, the way of witchcraft is quite ridiculous, but he also said that there are no ghosts and gods in the world. Even if there are, they are busy and have no time to talk to mortals... ...As he became more and more proud, many people believed his words and no longer worshiped sincerely. Today's life is... difficult!"

Another Taoist also smiled bitterly and said: "Nowadays, there are fewer people to worship. We can only feed and clothe ourselves, and maybe we have to farm... This life is really unbearable."

"Yes! Our life was so carefree at the beginning, and we just happened to comprehend the Great Dao every day... But from then on, we couldn't talk about these days."

"Farming! Pindao actually wants to farm..." A Taoist priest said sadly and angrily: "Pindao became a monk because he didn't want to farm, but now he has gone back."

When the Song Dynasty was founded, Zhao Kuangyin discovered that Taoist temples and temples had become tax havens. The people and their families were entrusted there and lived like ordinary people, but their lives were much easier.

But if the people all become monks to avoid taxes, where will the taxes come from in the court?

On the one hand, Zhao Kuangyin reiterated the rule that monks were not allowed to have families, and drove out those who had families. Then he strictly enforced the qualifications for monks, such as giving ultimatums.

You have to buy a ultimatum, which means that if you want to become a monk, you have to spend money to buy a ultimatum.

Rich people!

When you buy a certificate, it is actually equivalent to paying a tax, so the court will not care about you, and you can jump out of the Three Realms and not into the Five Elements.

Seeing everyone's frustration, a Taoist said: "That Shen An is vicious and wants to cut off our roots at once. Now he has come up with this evil method to bewitch the king, which shows his ambition. Don't worry, everyone, the knowledgeable people in the court have already I can’t stand it anymore, they won’t tolerate such crooked ways running rampant in Bianliang..."

A monk said: "Xuan Yi, what evil ways are you talking about, but who was that one who ascended just now?"

The Taoist laughed dryly and said: "Most of them are evil laws, but anyone who inherits them in an orderly manner should know that those evil laws are dazzling but harmful to people. So there is no need to worry, let's go back and find some powerful people to talk to..."

Most of the powerful people have contacts with outsiders. For example, Su Shi's good relationship with monks and Taoists has become a good story.

Everyone nodded, and someone said: "Then Shen An doesn't know what he is studying, but it can actually make people ascend. I think my generation has passed it on for many years, but it can't be done. It's really frustrating!"

"There was one, no, two ascensions today. We saw it, and the people in Bianliang City must have seen it too. What would they think?"

We are professionals who are pursuing promotion, but we can only watch Shen An, an amateur, get promoted...

This is so frustrating!

After a period of silence, someone said: "They will worship him and think that the official family is the right son...the official family's prestige will become higher and higher."

"That's an evil law!" Xuan Yi frowned and said, "You should spread the word more after you go out."

"But the people won't believe it!"

Xuan Yi sneered and said: "Why don't you believe it? We are outsiders, and we should stick to our roots. Besides, in the past, when people talked about gods, they always talked about them in a garish way, but this is not the case?"

Lippiness is king!

Xuan Yi smiled slightly, "Everyone, it turns out that Bianliang Taoist Temple regards Izumo Temple as the most respected one, but Shen An bewitched She Hui, the master of Izumo Temple, and caused thick smoke to billow in a pure place outside. Moreover, he was poor. Dao also knows that Shen An is quite unkind to our outsiders. What did he say... Outsiders should cultivate themselves well, not to mention comprehending the Tao, at least they should not cause trouble to the court. Listen, trouble, this person actually brought me Wait and see it as trouble..."

Everyone was a little angry, and Xuan Yi continued: "What else did he say... Since you are a monk, you should support yourself, farm by yourself, cook by yourself, and wash by yourself. Everyone, what is this?"

"If you have to do everything by yourself, then why should a poor monk become a monk?"

At this time, taxes were quite heavy, and becoming a monk was a good way to avoid taxes. And if the place where you are is popular, there will even be people to serve you.

Such days are so exciting!

But Shen An actually wants to cut off our good life. Who can bear this?

"Kill Shen An!"

"Yes, this person uses evil methods to bewitch the king, and he will definitely be punished by God!"

"If God doesn't kill him, someone will!"

A Taoist called himself "XX", and seeing Kong Wu's strength, Xuan Yi praised: "Brother Taoist, you can see that he is an expert in subduing demons under the Taoist Master, good!"

"Shen An is an evil spirit..." Xuan Yi's eyes became stern and he said, "But we are outsiders, so we need to be compassionate. Just remember, when we go back, we all say that Shen An is an evil heretic who deceives the king... and corrupts Chao Gang..."

The influence of outsiders is really not small. Once they collectively spread such rumors, Shen An will become a demon in the world's population in a few years.

"Shen An is an evil spirit!"

"Shen An is an evil spirit!"

Everyone stood up and shouted, feeling relieved.

At this moment, two riders came quickly. When they got closer, a skinny man who looked like he had no flesh asked in a sharp voice, "Who is Xuan Yi?"

When Xuan Yi saw that there were only two of them, he smiled and raised his head, "A certain... poor Taoist is Xuan Yi!"

"Do it!"

The man on the right jumped up from his horse and rushed towards the dirt bag after landing.

The skinny man was not to be outdone, and after a long roar, he leaped out.

The two of them rushed forward one after the other, with a slight gap.

And they actually had wooden sticks in their hands.

"They are here to cause trouble!"

"beat!"

Monks and Taoists always carry things with them when traveling, such as handy shovels and sticks and short knives.

In a word, there are many strongmen these days. For safety's sake, it's better to bring some self-defense weapons.

In an instant, there were more sticks and shovels on the mountain. Someone said angrily: "Who are you waiting for?"

Wen Xiaozhong rushed forward first and swung a shovel over.

The long stick hit the monk's arm with a click, and the shovel fell to the ground. Wen Xiaozhong rushed in.

"kill him!"

The stick was swung around, and Xiao Zhong's body was spinning, and the long stick was dancing like an airtight one.

After a sound of blocking, he stood there safe and sound. The monks and Taoists were surprised, and someone shouted: "This man is awesome!"

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

After hearing Xiao Zhong's beating, a lot of people fell around him.

On the other side, Zhang Baibian felt that the long stick was a burden, so he threw it out. A Taoist priest was not happy when he saw this and said: "Look at the poor Taoist..."

He headed towards him with a stick. Zhang BaBa grabbed the stick casually and rushed forward, extending his eagle claws.

The Taoist's reaction couldn't match his, so he yelled, then stretched out his hand to block.

Boom!

The arm was knocked open, and Zhang Baba, who was as skinny as a mummy, grabbed the Taoist priest's shoulder with one claw, and then exerted a slight force.

"Ouch..."

The screams resounded through the sky, Zhang Baibian let go of his hand, and the Taoist's shoulder was already bleeding profusely.

He rushed straight forward, his hands turned into claws, and he used claws whenever he saw anyone.

Wen Xiaozhong in front turned around and saw him abandoning his stick and his own long stick, and then fought all the way up with his fists and kicks.

Zhang Baibian was well known to everyone in the Imperial City Division. During Zhao Zhen's reign, there had been a rebellion in the palace. Therefore, Zhang Baibian, who was highly skilled in martial arts, gained Zhao Zhen's attention. Not only did he take charge of the Imperial City Division, but he also served in Become the emperor's personal bodyguard when necessary.

But Wen Xiaozhong was not famous, and his background was not worth mentioning.

There are many assassins under Mr. Wen, and Wen Xiaozhong is the leader among them.

But the assassin is shady!

During the eight years that Zhang was rushing forward, he even looked at Wen Xiaozhong's methods of attack.

Very insidious and fierce.

When he saw Wen Xiaozhong kicking a Taoist priest's crotch, Zhang Ba's eyelids trembled.

This thing just doesn’t exist!

The two of them rushed in, as if they were in a deserted place. When Xuan saw him, he shouted: "Who are you waiting for? I have no enmity with you two, why do you want to come to fight?"

In the crowd, a few monks were slowly retreating. Judging from the sweat on their faces, they were obviously very frightened.

That was Zhang Ba8!

The rumored royal eagle dog, the cruel chamberlain who could go to hell, actually came in person.

Moreover, he named Xuan Yi to be looked for. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Everyone couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when they thought about Xuan Yi's role in this incident.

Making noise, gathering together to discuss matters, preparing to spread rumors about Shen An...

What are you trying to do?

Wrong!

The monks retreated slowly, but Xuanyi, who had not known Zhang for eight years, shouted: "Whoever can kill them will be willing to help him."

Monks and Taoists also need money. Whoever can get money is a capable person. And talented people naturally get promoted the fastest and can hold the most important positions.

So as soon as these words came out, the eyes of those monks turned red.

Generals are of no origin, and men should strive for self-improvement. We are outsiders, but those who don’t want to be abbots and temple masters are not good outsiders.

Go!

After a period of fighting, the scene collapsed.

Wen Xiaozhong and Zhang Baizhong stood together and looked at each other.

"You're good." Zhang Baizhong didn't expect that Wen Xiaozhong could rush out side by side with him, and what he didn't expect was that he dropped the wooden stick.

This means not taking advantage. If you use your fists and kicks in Zhang Ba8, so will that person.

Xuan Yi over there was already confused. He said to the strong Taoist priest beside him: "Brother Taoist, it's up to you."

This Taoist priest was previously praised as an expert in subduing demons under the Taoist Master, and Xuan Yi pinned all his hopes on him.

The few monks who recognized Zhang Baibian had already run away.

They were ready to run away.

The sound of horse hooves suddenly started, and hundreds of horsemen came from all directions.

"It's officers and soldiers!"

The strong Taoist priest shouted desperately: "It's none of Pindao's business, it's Xuan Yi, it's Xuan Yi..."

Xuan Yi took a few steps back and said sternly: "I am a virtuous man. If you dare to take action, turn back..."

Zhang BaBa and Wen XiaoZhong rushed forward together. In mid-air, Zhang BaBa grabbed Xuan Yi's throat with one claw.

And Wen Xiaozhong had already thrown out the little drill.
