Demolition of houses.

Baoqin and Xiao Ling'er had almost no discussion, and their opinions were surprisingly the same, that is, to demolish the house where Su Wuling lived. Even the walls were scraped off, not to mention the furniture.

Yanagi walked over to take a look and found that even the garden was beginning to be dug up.

All the trees that had been planted by Su Wuling were dug up.

"Well, this pear tree has already borne fruit." Yanagi felt a little pity.

Baoqin motioned to the healthy women to continue, and came to Liu Mu by himself: "Lang Jun, I got some interesting news after I came back, and they are waiting for your instructions. ”

"What's the news?" Liu Muxin said that hugging the piano is preparing to open the topic.

Baoqin said: "Xuanzang did not leave Gaochang, he just left Gaochang Wangcheng at that time, and he was still in Gaochang when our army was attacking the city, preaching in a very famous temple. ”

Sure enough, Liu Mu's interest came: "Tell me about it." ”

"Lang Jun, did you hear me talk about ......

At this time, there are hundreds of monks in Gaochang Jiaohe City, where hundreds of monks are pushing carts loaded with stones to the city.

Repair the city, since Gaochang is occupied, all the cities are divided into the city used for town defense, the city that guards the main road in the Western Regions, and the garrison city.

The original temple of Gaochang does not exist in ten.

All monks participate in the Dharma assessment, and five out of a hundred, that is to say, the best five percent are monks recognized by the Tang Dynasty, but they still have to pay taxes, labor, and so on according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

The rest of the monks were all turned into servitude.

Ninety percent of temples have been converted into medical halls and schools. The Tang army did not occupy any of the temples, but confiscated all the temple properties.

When the Tang Dynasty attacked Gaochang, it shouted surrender outside the city, as long as there was a resisting city, then all the Gaochang nobles in the city would be enslaved and their property would be confiscated.

It was getting late, and finally the work started.

Xuanzang dragged his tired body to the shed, except for Xuanzang, it can be said that most of the monks are talking and laughing.

Because these monks who were punished for their work were allowed to eat three meals a day, and they also had meat.

The monks of Gaochang never only ate vegetarian food, that is, because after the rules set by Emperor Wu of Liang in the Central Plains, the monks of the Sui and Tang dynasties forbade meat.

I don't know what the cake is made of, it's very hard.

But after soaking in the broth, it is extremely delicious.

There is no broth, no salt, and no hot water, Xuanzang soaked the cake in a bowl of water by the river and swallowed it very hard.

I also heard a lot of talking.

A little monk came back from outside carrying a basket of Tang Qin cakes and handed them to a middle-aged monk.

"Master, this is a reward from the Tang people. He said that our team was the most serious in this project to repair the river, and today we began to add a basket of high-quality Qin cakes every day for a month. ”

"Yes." The middle-aged monk called the two of them over and signaled for everyone to divide them.

The little monk took out a very neatly folded piece of paper from his arms: "Master, this is a secret copy from the master, and I heard that it is the highest score in the evaluation of Buddhism in this city." ”

The middle-aged monk laughed: "This is useless, whoever wants to be a monk again will go and see." ”

Gao Changguo didn't want to be a soldier, so he went to be a monk.

The rest of the identities are not living well, every class is oppressed, and many of the temple's big monks, such as the presiding officer, are beaten to death by many small monks in the temple.

The temple of Gaochang is like a small country, and the upper class monks are completely vampires, and they rely on the oppression of the lower monks to obtain their comfortable and prosperous life, which can be said to completely copy the social structure of Tianzhu.

In Tianzhu, monks are the highest of all ranks.

The paper was thrown away, no one looked at it, and the people gathered here were low-level monks who had a better way to live so they didn't want to go back to the temple. And the life of the temple is completely different from before, only the item of not allowing the collection of sesame oil money can force countless monks who eat and wait for death.

The little monk said again: "Master, I also heard that this time the Tang Dynasty attacked Gaochang because of a high monk. ”

"The monk of the fart." The middle-aged monk scolded with a smile and gave the little monk an extra piece of Tang Qin cake: "You have merit today, I will give you two pieces of cake." There is nothing wrong with listening to the master, after surviving this paragraph, go to participate in the assessment of the westward escort, as long as the caravan is smoothly escorted through Gaochang, you will be rewarded. ”

"I listen to the master." The little monk looked excited.

A gust of wind blew, and the paper floated into the distance, Xuanzang silently stepped forward to pick it up, and then hid in a corner, leaning on the light of the lantern hanging on the high pole to look at the contents of the paper.

Looking at it, a nameless fire rose from Xuanzang's heart.

It is written on this piece of paper that there is no Buddha in the world, everyone is a Buddha, cultivating the mind, cultivating virtue and goodness, helping others and enjoying others. Cultivate this life, do good every day, and incarnate as a Buddha to live the world. If you don't build an image, the Buddha has no appearance; Don't worship the Buddha, the Buddha is in the heart......

The above theory was written by a monk who had been Confucianized.

He firmly believes that cultivating this life and cultivating oneself is not such a thing as the Buddha's blessing at all, and all those who say that the Buddha blesses are to deceive sentient beings, and those who preach the afterlife are all means of deception, and the Buddha is in his heart, and he is not a deified immortal at all, etc.

Xuanzang is more and more angry, in his heart the Buddha is the supreme god, the Buddha turned all things.

When Xuanzang was about to tear this article apart, his hand stopped, and at this moment Xuanzang suddenly understood that Liu Mu's extermination of Buddha was not that attack on all the temples in Chang'an, it was just the beginning.

Looking at this article in his hand again, Xuanzang understood that this was the truth of Liu Mu's destruction of Buddha.

Xuanzang silently reported the Buddha's name in his heart, and his heart was more determined to go west, he wanted to go west to retrieve the true scriptures, he wanted to bring the Buddha back to the Central Plains, and he wanted to purify all sentient beings.

At this time, the little monk approached here intentionally or unintentionally, but did not appear in front of Xuanzang, but was sharing Qin cakes with several other little monks.

The little monk said: "I also heard in the city that the Tang Dynasty sent someone to give the country of Qiuci a letter of state. If the country of Qiuci dares to have the slightest intrusion on the caravan of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will attack the country of Qiuci. Also, the senior monk who came to our Gaochang before was actually the demon monk who escaped from the Tang Dynasty, and our Gaochang was attacked because of him. ”

Xuanzang is dripping blood in his heart, but what can he do.

The little monk continued to speak, and even scolded the Buddha, the little monk only believed in the practice of this life, and did not believe that the Buddha could live in the world.

"You say, if the Buddha is really omnipotent, then why can't he save King Gaochang. King Gaochang was hacked to death with a knife, and the entire temple that dared to shout the Buddha was burned to death, or my master had the foresight to preside over the Tang Army who was killed early, and we ate better than the people in other temples. ”

"Yes, yes." A group of young monks echoed in unison.
