A knife in love

Chapter 3745
When Murong Danyan said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "The Emperor Taizu wanted to have a place for himself, so that he would not die of cold and starvation. Monk insults, bullying, insults, and beatings can only be endured by himself. He thought that as long as he can gain a foothold in Huangjue Temple, Gao Bin and the monks will bully him when someone enters Huangjue Temple to become a monk. The newcomer, so he will no longer be in trouble with him. Unexpectedly, before the newcomer enters the temple, there will be a catastrophe year. Countless people will starve to death, and no one will come to Huangjue Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. With money income, Gao Bin is also a stingy person, unwilling to use his own money to buy food for the monks. Although the monks could only eat some simple food at the beginning, they could still feed themselves, but later they could only drink three meals of porridge a day , no more steamed buns and pickles. In the end, I could only drink a bowl of porridge every day. There were not a few grains of corn in the porridge. The monks were so hungry that one Buddha came out of his body, and the other two ascended to heaven. His eyes were dull, and he staggered when he walked. Shake, almost fall.

"Seeing this situation, Gao Bin knew that if he didn't think of another way, the monks would starve to death. Although he hid a lot of money and put a lot of food in the cellar at home, the money and food were all his own. Wealth must not be enjoyed by the monks. Now that we can no longer raise money, we can only survive the crisis by cutting down on food and clothing. Gao Bin made up his mind and summoned the monks to the Dharma hall, pretending to be sad , said that the food expenses of Huangjue Temple mainly depended on the land rent and the incense money donated by pilgrims. Now it is a disaster year, drought, locust plague, and plague hit one after another, and most of the people who rented the fields of Huangjue Temple died of the plague During the period, the rest of the people could only leave their homes and flee to other places to eat with their families. No one has paid land rent to Huangjue Temple. Moreover, after the drought, locust plague and plague, ten rooms in the villages and towns near Huangjue Temple In Jiukong, there are a few widowed old people and underage children left, who can only wait to die in the dilapidated houses. Who will come to Huangjue Temple to burn incense and give alms? Although Gao Bin has sent many monks to take turns to several houses, he has not yet escaped The tenants asked for rent, but these tenants had run out of food, and they survived starvation only by eating grass roots and bark. There is not much left, and if we don't try to get through the difficulties, everyone can only starve to death.

"All the monks know that Gao Bin is a despicable and stingy villain. Although he has hidden a lot of personal wealth and food, he will never take it out to help everyone tide over the difficulties together. Therefore, hearing Gao Bin spit, the monks immediately panicked Fascinated, they all whispered to each other, not knowing what to do. Gao Bin saw that the monks were terrified, and they were already in a state of confusion. He could just take advantage of these idiots when they were at a loss, and trick them to leave Huangjue Temple. Send money and food. Gao Bin made up his mind, and continued to say with a sad face that the food stored in Huangjue Temple can only last for a few days. To survive, the only way to save your life is to leave the temple and find your own way of life. If you have a family, you can go home for now. After death, when their families send the deceased, they will naturally find someone to do something for them. You can make a few pennies by reciting a scripture at the family’s funeral. Although you can’t make a fortune, you can barely make ends meet. As for People who are homeless can take one hundred Wen from the temple as money, leave Huangjue Temple to travel around, ask the believers for alms, and they can survive if they want to. When the world is peaceful and the disaster subsides, everyone will return to Huangjue Temple. Continue to practice in Jue Temple, and continue the frontier.

"All the monks were quite dissatisfied when they heard that Gao Bin wanted to kick him out of Huangjue Temple, but they knew that Gao Bin had several strong and powerful monks who helped him to do evil, and Gao Bin spent money to feed these monks. When they were full, they willingly became Gao Bin's thugs. If anyone dared to disobey Gao Bin, they would definitely not be able to escape the murderous hands of these evil monks. Therefore, although the monks were dissatisfied in their hearts, they could only be silent, went back to pack their bags, and prepared to leave Huangjue Temple.

"After hearing Gao Bin's words, Emperor Taizu felt struck by lightning. He went to Huangjue Temple to become a monk. He didn't intend to worship the Buddha sincerely. For several months, I was busy from morning to night every day, not to mention being bullied by the monks, and I was exhausted by Gao Bin's family. I was so cautious and tried my best to please Gao Bin's family and the monks, but in the end Such a fate is really hateful. Thinking of this, Emperor Taizu was so angry that he wished he could rush forward and beat Gao Bin up. But he also knew that Gao Bin's evil monks were powerful, and he was definitely not If their opponents rushed forward to beat Gao Bin rashly, they would be beaten to death by these evil monks before they rushed to Gao Bin's side. Therefore, although Emperor Taizu felt resentful in his heart, he had no choice but to endure it for the time being and went back to his residence to tidy up After packing his bags, he went to the elder brother to collect the one hundred Wen coins that Gao Bin promised to give to the monks from the monastery. The elder brother gave the Emperor Taizu a big white eye, and then threw thirty or forty Wen coins in front of the Emperor Taizu. He didn't even want to say a word. Emperor Taizu picked up the money on the ground and saw that there were only thirty or forty coins. He was puzzled and was about to ask. The elder brother sneered and said, "You have only been in Huangjue Temple for a few months. , the abbot said that you can only take this money.

"Emperor Taizu Suzhi Elder Brother is a greedy and shameless villain. Although Gao Bin is stingy, but right now he only wants to dismiss the monks as soon as possible, save money and food, and he will not deduct dozens of dollars for dismissing monks. Wen Qian, otherwise these monks will make troubles and cause even more trouble. The five or sixty Wen Qian that they gave to themselves is probably embezzled by the senior brother. Thinking of this, the Emperor Taizu was about to argue with the senior brother. Several monks standing next to the elder brother immediately surrounded him and stared fiercely at the emperor Taizu. These monks are the best friends of the elder brother. They have been colluding with the elder brother on weekdays and doing evil in Huangjue Temple. The emperor Taizu knew The big brother and his gang are all despicable and shameless treacherous villains. I reasoned with them, not only would I not want the fifty or sixty renminbi, but I would probably be beaten severely, and maybe even killed by these people. In desperation , Emperor Taizu had no choice but to hold back his anger, turned around and walked out of Huangjue Temple. He stood in front of the mountain gate, looked at the vast land, and couldn't help but sighed. Sorrowful, self-pity and self-pity.
