"Tell the host: Wu Zhen led people to loot the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and all the gold, silver, and bronze Buddha statues were moved!"

"Wu Zhen ransacked the Heavenly King's Hall again, and removed all the incense burners, Baoding, candlesticks, copper chimes, and candlesticks...... There are also thousands of catties of lamp oil! ”

"Oh no, the second floor of the bell and drum is also finished, and the bronze bells, copper drums, and copper plaques are ...... There were also more than a dozen little novices, all of whom were taken away! ”

"Buddha, Tianyi Temple is finished--woo!"

…………

Looking at the messy temple, the monks beat their chests and cried, and finally understood the meaning of 'three feet high', the place where Wu Zhen led people to loot can only be described in four words: clean and clean!

All precious metals, not to mention large Buddha statues, bells and drums, furnaces, small wind chimes, door bolts, door knockers, copper locks, lamp hooks...... and even the copper plates, copper bowls, and copper chopsticks for eating.

There are some Buddha statues, Bodhisattva statues are mud body pasted with gold leaf, these people actually use a spatula, the gold leaf is taken away piece by piece, leaving only the ugly mud tire, today's Tianyi Temple, it is more appropriate to call it 'Wujin Temple'.

"Ring the bronze bell immediately, gather all the monks of the temple to come, and everyone will fight the catastrophe together!"

"But the bronze bells have been moved, and the little monk has not hit it!"

"Then go shout, call everybody!"

…………

After a while, the monks all gathered, but the number was much less, some of the small novices were plundered by Wu Zhen, saying that they were sold for the purpose of accounting, and some monks saw that the situation was not good, and slipped away with oil under their feet!

The rest are also sad, ready to pack up their burdens and leave at any time, saying that when a monk hits a bell for a day, now that the bronze bells have been moved, is the monk still going down?

"In the past, the Buddha gave up the throne and went to the mountains to do penance, endured wind, frost, rain and snow, and went through a lot of hardships, and then sat down and meditated under a Bibala tree, and finally became a Buddha!

What we are suffering today is also a great test, and only those who are determined to live and die with the temple can achieve positive results, ascend to the Pure Land of Bliss, and get rid of the suffering of samsara! “

"Amitabha! --Amitabha! ”

First, he preached the Dharma for a while, stabilized the hearts of the monks, let them perform their duties, and try to restore the damaged temple, and then gathered a group of senior monks to continue to discuss countermeasures!

Monk Shenguang is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, but the 'Living Buddha' has been doing it for too long, and he is worshiped by incense every day, and as a result, his head is dizzy, and he will make a series of mistakes!

What happened today was like a slap in the face, which woke him up painfully, and he also saw through a lot of problems, Wu Zhen dared to be so arrogant, all because he had a big backer-Xiao Yi, or the Han Dynasty, that was the key to the problem!

In order to appease the hearts of the people and maintain the rule of the Han Dynasty, the imperial court vigorously supported the Buddhist family, which is the reason for the prosperity of the Buddhist family!

The power of Buddhism has swelled, constantly encroaching on land, population, and wealth, harming the interests of the country, causing dissatisfaction among those in power, so Buddhism has been suppressed!

Therefore, what the monks really have to deal with is not Wu Zhen or Xiao Yi, but the decision-making level of the Han court.

The first way is to rebel, gather all the monks and believers, rise up, cut down wood as soldiers, just like the Taiping Dao in the past, fight to the death with the imperial court, and establish a political and religious ......

As soon as this thought flashed, he was thrown out of the clouds by the Shenguang monk, don't look at the expansion of the power of Buddhism, claiming to have tens of thousands of monks and millions of believers, but if you really want to rebel, there is no chance of winning at all!

First of all, Buddhism is divided internally, there are hundreds of large and small temples, intriguing with each other, and without a unified leader, they will not work together to rebel at all!

Secondly, Cao Cao and Xiao Yi governed the country well, and their ruling foundation was very solid, winning the hearts of the people of the Central Plains, and the strong combat effectiveness of Cao's army was even more daunting!

If there is a rebellion, I am afraid that within an hour, hundreds of bald heads up and down the temple will be cut down by officers and soldiers and hung at the city gate for public display, right?

Since he was powerless to resist, he could only show weakness, and the Shenguang monk thought a little and began a plan to save the temple, which was divided into three steps:

Step 1: The four leading monks came forward to lobby the magnates who were friendly with Buddhism, hoping that they would say a few good words to the Prime Minister and the Hou Mansion, stop the imperial court's plan to destroy Buddhism, and at least let go of Tianyi Temple.

Step 2: Send people to the temples, and persuade the abbots and abbots of the temples to come to discuss major matters with the truth of cold lips and teeth, as long as the Buddhism is united, even if you can't fight back, at least you can protect yourself, right?

Step 3: Let the henchmen and disciples visit the big businessmen, tycoons, and big landowners inside and outside Xuchang...... And all the rich people, try their best to borrow some money, so as to repay the loan of the worry-free money village, Wu Zhen this vicious dog is too fierce, if he is allowed to come to the door again, Tianyi Temple may not be left behind.

……………………………………

"Returning to the host: The doors of the powerful people are closed, and they don't want to meet us at all, and there are words that say that you have offended people who should not be offended, and they can't do anything but ask the Buddha for their blessing!

Returning to the host: The major temples received invitations, and they were all reluctant to come, saying that the threshold of our Tianyi Temple was too high, and they couldn't climb high, and they were afraid of breaking their ankles! ”

…………

Two groups of people have returned one after another, the monks are all sad faces, Tianyi Temple used to be too domineering, but also too ostentatious, so that offended many people, now see that they are in trouble, no one lends a hand, but is ready to fall into the ground!

In the evening, the third group of monks also returned, but brought back two pieces of news: the bad news was that they had not borrowed money, and all the big and small merchants and landlords in Xuchang had run all over the house, but no one was willing to borrow money, but it was full of sarcasm, saying that Tianyi Temple had nothing to mortgage except for a group of bald monks?

The good news is that in the area of Xuchang-Dongfang City, several new money houses have been opened, such as Dayuan Money Village, Erci Money Village, Sanjiang Money Village, and Sihai Money Village...... One by one has strong financial resources and is willing to borrow from Tianyi Temple, but the interest rate is a little higher!

"The minimum interest is also one percent, and the cycle is only ten months, is this a money bank, it's just a lot of money!"

"Now, the money for Yinzi has to be borrowed, otherwise Wu Zhen will come again, and Tianyi Temple will be in ruins!"

"Quench your thirst! --Drink to quench your thirst! ”

The great monks discussed all night, and finally decided to borrow 120,000 taels of gold from the lowest interest rate, Dayuan Qianzhuang, to pay off the debts of buying glazed Buddha statues and leasing relics, and get over this difficulty first!

When Tianyi Temple was at its peak, it also let go of Yinzi money, and made huge profits from it, and forced out a lot of lives, but I didn't expect the causal cycle, this time it was my turn, the taste is really indescribable!

Early the next morning, the Shenguang monk personally came forward and went to Dayuan Qian Zhuang to borrow, but he didn't expect it to be surprisingly smooth, and he talked about it in a few words, borrowing 120,000 taels of gold, with an interest rate of 10 days, and signed and issued a silver ticket on the spot......

After the matter was completed, the Shenguang monk thanked him for his kindness, and asked around and around, who is the owner of the money village, and has such strong financial resources.

I didn't think that the population of Qianzhuang was very tight, but I only said that the owner had a deep background, and I didn't say much about the rest, and the back-end tea was sent to the guests, so that the monks should not forget to repay the money on time!

Anyway, he finally borrowed the money, and the Shenguang monk went to the Wuwu Qian Village again, calculated the arrears with interest clearly, and paid them back at one time, and secretly swore that he would not enter the gate of the Wuwu Qian Village in this life, this is a vampire!

"Buddha bless, the debt has finally been repaid, and Tianyi Temple has been saved!"

"Everyone cheer up and work together, this temple will definitely turn the corner and prosper again!"

The news was transmitted back to Tianyi Temple, and the monks recited Amitabha Buddha together, and finally got through the difficulties, and then used the remaining money and added various applications to prepare to erect Buddha statues and reshape the golden body!

As the saying goes: stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, as long as the Tianyi Temple is saved, the incense money will roll in, the borrowed gold will be slowly repaid, and the temple property, shops, and land can also be recovered!

It's nothing for Dayuan Qianzhuang to collect the debts, you can beg for words, delay time, or simply don't pay the debts, no matter how powerful they are, can they still come up with a second Wu quality?

In this way, the monks were happy for ten days, and then found an auspicious day of the zodiac, and reopened the temple door to welcome guests...... Wu quality!

…………………………

"Haha, I haven't seen you for more than ten days, are the masters okay, the lower officials have come to disturb again, it's really a sin!"

"Amitabha, I don't have to worry about the loan of the money village, and the temple has paid off with interest, I don't know what happened to the adults?"

Wu Zhen brought people to the door again, this time not only crowbars, ropes, scrapers, but also carpenters, blacksmiths, and masons, and when they came in, they measured everywhere, and there was a great posture of demolishing the temple and destroying the temple.

The Shenguang monk was in a cold sweat, and hurriedly took out a receipt, with the red mark of the money village on it, and the debt was repaid without a penny, why did the debt collector come to the door again?

"Haha, Guibao Temple really has strong financial resources, and the loan of more than 100,000 taels of gold can be paid off easily, and the officials admire it so much, but there is no worry about the debt of the money bank, and the debt of the big yuan bank?"

"Amitabha, what does the debt that the temple owes to the Great Yuan Qianzhuang have to do with the adults?"

"Haha, Master, look at what this is?"

Wu Zhen sneered a few times, and took out a loan contract, which was the contract that Tianyi Temple borrowed 120,000 taels of gold from Dayuan Qianzhuang, with an interest rate of one percent and ten days to pay off, as well as Shenguang himself's drawing!

Tianyi Temple borrowed usury, is to drink water to quench thirst, I wanted to get through this hurdle and then said, I didn't think that people came to collect debts, or 'three feet high' - Wu quality, what is the relationship between the two?

"It's okay to tell the master, the owner of this big yuan village is my family's eldest lady Sima, so I sent an official to collect the accounts!"

Divine Light Monk: ............

"Debt repayment, it is only natural - demolish the temple!
