A knife in love

Previously, Li Qiufeng was worried that Murong Danyan's repeated interruption of Mao Shusheng's words might anger Mao Shusheng and Monk Tonghai.He was not afraid of Shusheng Mao and Monk Tonghai and Murong Danyan turning heads, but he was worried that the two of them would rise up and leave in a rage, and it would be difficult to inquire about the origin of the Mao family and the details of Bailian Villa.Therefore, when Murong Danyan was speaking, Li Qiufeng kept paying attention to the expressions of Mao Scholar and Tonghai Monk, seeing that they listened attentively to Murong Danyan's words without any anger on their faces, he felt relieved.

Murong Danyan went on to say: "Huangjue Temple has been repeatedly attacked by war. Not only are there not many halls left, but the precepts and rules in the temple are not as strict as before. However, the monks in the temple still have to get up early and ring the bell to wake up the whole temple. The monks get up to do morning classes. For all the monks, being forced to wake up from a dream to ring the bell while they are sleeping soundly is really a hard job. Only the monks with the lowest status in the temple will be forced by other monks to wake up early. Go to the bell tower to ring the bell. After Emperor Taizu became a monk in Huangjue Temple, the monks deceived him that he had just arrived, so they handed over the task of ringing the bell to Emperor Taizu. In the past, all the monks took turns to ring the bell. The ancestor emperor was quite honest, the monks discussed it in secret, and only said that the abbot ordered the new novice to ring the bell every morning. The emperor Taizu didn't know the situation in Huangjue Temple, so the audience monks naturally didn't dare to disagree in the slightest. From then on, only the Emperor Taizu did the job of ringing the bell. The rest of the monks did not have to get up early. They got up and put on their clothes after hearing the bell. Unsteadily, under the leadership of the elder brother, he went to various halls to do morning classes.

"At that time, the precepts of Huangjue Temple were loose. It is reasonable to say that the monks should read the scriptures and chant sutras during the morning class. Although all the monks went to the hall to do morning lessons after hearing the bell, most of them just sat on the futons and stared at each other, and they were just doing things perfunctorily. Only Emperor Taizu was cautious, and ran to ring the bell every morning, and then rushed to the hall Doing morning class. Although seeing all the monks dozing off one by one, Emperor Taizu did not dare to slack off in the slightest, sitting alone in the corner chanting scriptures and paying homage to the Buddha.

"After dozens of days like this, although Emperor Taizu was diligent, he got up late a few times, delaying the time for bumping the seeds and offering incense. Although most of the monks didn't notice it, he was discovered by the elder brother once. In order to To show majesty in front of the monks, the elder brother punished Emperor Taizu to kneel in front of the Buddha statue in the Daxiong Hall for three hours. When Emperor Taizu got up, his knees were in severe pain, his whole body was sore and numb, and he could hardly stand up."

When Murong Danyan said this, he felt resentful in his heart, paused for a moment, and then said angrily: "Most of the monks in the world are deceitful people, they are cautious on the surface, and do all kinds of evil behind the scenes. These bald donkeys are treacherous and cunning, really hateful !"

When she said this, she accidentally saw Monk Tonghai sitting next to Scholar Mao, feeling a little embarrassed, and then said: "Oh, those bald donkeys I'm talking about are not Master Tonghai, I hope Master will not be angry."

Monk Tonghai was furious in his heart, he wondered if this brat was pointing fingers and scolding Huai Huai, I just bear with it for now, when I fall out with this group of people in the future, I will have to cut this brat to pieces!
Murong Danyan saw that Monk Tonghai didn't speak, but his face was not very good-looking, and he thought to himself that I didn't intend to mock this monk, but looking at his appearance, he must think that I was pointing fingers at Sang Huai and mocking him.Hmph, whatever you want, I'm not afraid of your revenge.Thinking of this, Murong Danyan ignored Monk Tonghai, and continued, "Before Emperor Taizu became a monk at Huangjue Temple, the monks not only got up early to ring the bell in turn, but also cleaned the courtyard and hall. Emperor Taizu came After arriving at Huangjue Temple, the monks not only asked him to get up early to ring the bell every day, but also handed over the dirtiest and most tiring work such as cleaning the courtyard and halls to Emperor Taizu. Later, Emperor Taizu knew that the monks were colluding together Bullying him, but in order to be able to settle down in Huangjue Temple, so as not to die of freezing and starvation, he had to endure it temporarily and dared not resist in the slightest.

"Emperor Taizu worked as a young monk in Huangjue Temple for more than a month. Abbot Gao Bin saw that he was indeed a man of few words and honesty, so he called him to serve him. Emperor Taizu served Gao Bin every day. Clothing, eating, sleeping, and helping Gao Bin’s family with work. It turns out that Gao Bin was the abbot of Huangjue Temple on the surface, but secretly bought fields and land outside the temple, married a wife and had children, just like a rich man. At that time, In great chaos, the imperial court was busy dispatching troops to deal with the rebels from all over the country, and the government had no time to intervene in the affairs of the temples. The head monks of many temples not only domineering in the temples, spending time and wine, but also visiting brothels outside the temples, drinking flower wine, and buying fields Buy land and be at ease. Compared with the abbots and abbots of those big monasteries, although Gao Bin also married wives and had children outside the temple, bought land and bought land, but the money he collected was much less. The reason why he wanted to recruit novice monks was not because It was to increase the number of monks in Huangjue Temple, but to find a boy servant to help his family with work. After Emperor Taizu entered Huangjue Temple, Gao Bin kept secretly observing Emperor Taizu's words and deeds until he confirmed that Taizu Emperor Zu was an honest and trustworthy person, so he called Emperor Taizu to his side. In addition to serving him, he also often went to fetch water and firewood for his wife and children, feed chickens and geese, which was very hard work.

"Although Emperor Taizu hated Gao Bin very much in his heart, he knew that if he wanted to survive in troubled times, he had to grit his teeth and endure, so although he was exhausted all day long after being ordered by Gao Bin, He didn't complain at all, and he did what Gao Bin ordered. Gao Bin was very happy to see Emperor Taizu working so hard for him, and he stopped berating and scolding Emperor Taizu casually like before, and even allowed him Get up early every day to ring the bell, clean the courtyard, and clean the halls. You only need to take good care of Gao Bin, his wife and children.

"The monks originally entrusted the emperor Taizu to do the hard work, tiring work, and dirty work of getting up early and ringing the bell, cleaning the courtyard, and cleaning the hall. All the monks were very dissatisfied. They had known for a long time that Gao Bin had a home outside the temple, and that the monks could only eat simple food in Huangjue Temple every day, but Gao Bin was fried and fried in the abbot's room. Fat head, big ears, fat stomach, made the monks very jealous. They did not dare to turn against Gao Bin, but put all their hatred on Emperor Taizu. The first time he punched and kicked Emperor Taizu, almost seriously injured Emperor Taizu."
