Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

Eight thousand words!

The entire text of the Diamond Sutra is only more than 5,000 words!

How could he have the ability to create an original scripture?

Liu Qianqiu frowned and said coldly, "Why, you can't write it?"

Wu Shou shuddered and quickly replied, "I don't have any pen or ink, let me write it somewhere..."

Liu Qianqiu laughed: "Then recite it aloud! As a monk of Shanshiyuan, I know a little about Buddhist scriptures. Don't worry that I don't understand!"

Wu Shou had no way out and had to rack his brains to think of words.

But after half a day, he still hadn't uttered a single word of Buddhist scriptures.

Liu Qianqiu kicked him directly and yelled, "Waste! Borer!"

"With just this little bit of Buddha nature, how can you be worthy of your status as abbot!"

"Come here, take off his cassock, seize his Zen staff, and take his ordination disc!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Jinyiwei came forward and confiscated all of Wu Shou's belongings, and also took out the diploma hidden in his arms.

Liu Qianqiu stepped forward, pressed the plate, and tore it into pieces in a few seconds.

Then he looked at the other person next to him.

"You answer it! It's the same question as before!"

The monk he pointed out turned pale instantly: "Sir, I am just a novice monk and cannot answer such a profound question."

Liu Qianqiu smiled when he heard that, and patted him on the shoulder twice as if very considerately.

"Yes, it is indeed difficult for a novice monk to answer such a question."

"In that case, I will change the question for you."

The monk's face lit up with joy, but the next moment, he was stunned again.

Liu Qianqiu said calmly: "Then recite the entire text of the Lankavatara Sutra!"

The Lengjia Sutra!

This is the most obscure and difficult scripture in Buddhism!

Not only that, the full text has more than 60,000 words!

The monk shook his head wildly with a look of unwillingness: "No, impossible! This is too difficult!"

"Sir, can you change it?"

"As a Buddhist, but you can't even recite the Buddhist scriptures, what use are you?"

"Someone, take his disc!"

Liu Qianqiu ignored him and after saying these words, he walked straight to the next person.

"Looking at the way you are dressed, you are no longer a novice monk. You must be a senior monk at least."

"Come, recite the Lankavatara Sutra for me!"

The monk immediately had a sad face, took out the disc from his arms, and tore it into rags with his own hands.

"Alas! The world is going downhill!"

Liu Qianqiu shook his head again and moved on to the next target.

After Wen Tiren's guidance, he has figured out what he should do.

Therefore, facing this group of monks, he had no intention of showing any mercy.

If you kill someone, you should destroy his heart!

Therefore, he made a request to Wen Tiren, which was to collect the diplomas from these people first, and then do the rest.

Wen Tiren agreed.

Although as a Buddhist official, Liu Qianqiu did not know many Buddhist scriptures, but they were enough to test these monks!

This Lengjia Sutra alone stumped all the monks present!

Those who are self-aware will take the initiative to admit their mistakes, hand over the disc and step aside.

Even if he really had something in his mind, how could he memorize all the 60,000-word scripture without making any mistakes?

what?

Can you recite it word for word?

Well then, recite it to me again backwards!

If you make a mistake in punctuation, your disc will be confiscated!

This is not called making things difficult, this is called clearing out mediocre people for the Buddha...

Liu Qianqiu walked among the monks, and Wen Tiren watched the scene from behind, stroking his beard and smiling.

Not too bad.

At least this guy can be enlightened.

But the good times didn't last long, and soon a small flag officer of the Jinyiwei came running over from the Duanmen.

"Your Excellency, there are several Taoists outside the palace asking to see you!"

Wen Tiren raised his eyebrows: "Didn't I tell you to keep all the palace gates open?"

The flag officer replied helplessly: "The door is open, but those Taoist priests insist on waiting for permission from the palace before they are willing to enter!"

"They also said that it is a place where dragons and phoenixes hide and live, how dare a commoner enter without permission."

Wen Tiren was very surprised and asked again.

"Did they tell me where he was from and why he came to the palace?"

The flag officer said, "They said they were Taoist priests from the Jade Emperor Temple and Chongxuan Temple. They also brought a bunch of boxes. They said they heard that the Ministry of Revenue was checking the accounts, so they brought the account books from the temples here to save the Ministry of Revenue from having to go through the trouble."

Wen Tiren:.........

Wow, is he stretching his neck out on his own initiative?

"Go, call them in!"

"Call some more clerks from the Ministry of Revenue to check their accounts!"

After the small flag officer left, he sent two Jinyi officers to the Ministry of Revenue's warehouse to call over Guo Yunhou, who had also not slept all night.

A moment later, when the small flag officer came back, he was accompanied by four skinny old Taoists.

One of them, an old Taoist priest with patches all over his body, bowed to Wen Tiren.

"My humble servant Qingyue is here to pay his respects to His Excellency the Elder!"

"I heard that since yesterday, the court has begun to check the accounts and recover the tax silver."

"I thought the officials in the Ministry of Revenue were very busy and it would be inappropriate to ask them to come in person, so I took the initiative to send the account books over."

"Please don't blame me, Mr. Wen!"

It is not advisable to hit a smiling person. Facing Taoist Qingyue who took the initiative to deliver the goods to his door, Wen Tiren did not want to embarrass him, so he smiled and pointed to the open space next to him and said.

"You are quite self-aware, Taoist priest. Then wait a moment. We have sent someone to invite the Minister of Revenue."

Taoist Qingyue nodded and walked over with the other three Taoists.

Their faces looked calm, but their hearts were already surging.

Before coming, they heard that a Buddhist group had also come to the palace, but they never expected that it would be such a bloody scene.

Listening to Liu Qianqiu repeating those almost harsh questions from time to time, Qingyue couldn't help swallowing and began to recall the Taoist classics she had read in her mind.

From "Baopuzi" to "Nanhua Jing".

From "Tao Te Ching" to "Qingxu Jing".

Then, the contents of books from "Liezi" to "Dao Lun" and so on were flipping through his mind like a movie.

But soon, he frowned uncomfortably.

The infinite Heavenly Lord!

I really can’t remember it all, what can I do…

Chapter 321: Leave now before I change my mind! (Fourth update)

Half an hour later, Guo Yunhou arrived late.

He thought he had been ruthless enough yesterday, but he was still shocked by the scene of Wen Tiren and Liu Qianqiu!

Wanima!

A group of naked bald donkeys, blood all over their bodies......

What's worse, there were some bald men who lay in the middle of the only aisle without durian peels, with bloody holes all over their waists, abdomens, and thighs caused by the durian peels.

But their arsenal has been broken!

Even the bullets were hanging outside openly...

He took another look at his surroundings and confirmed that he was not in the wrong place.

After taking a look at the four Taoists, he did not step forward to speak, but walked up to Wen Tiren and said with a wry smile.

"Master Wen, you have brought a lot of trouble to the Ming Dynasty!"

Wen Tiren snorted coldly: "Serves you right!"

"The door was open as well. These Taoists knew that they were not allowed to enter without permission, but they walked in recklessly. I didn't kill them directly in the name of treason, so I showed mercy!"

After saying this, he pointed at the four Taoists and the pile of boxes.

"Those are the big guys at the Jade Emperor Temple and Chongxuan Temple. They were smart enough to send the account books over to us."

"Take someone to check and see if there is any problem!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

Guo Yunhou clasped his fists and bowed, then walked over with the clerks.

Boxes were cleared out and used as tables, and the clerks stood there fiddling with the abacus beads.

As they were counting, some people's faces turned strange.

“This account book must be fake!”

Hearing the exclamation, Guo Yunhou hurriedly walked towards the clerk who spoke.

"what happened?"

"Sir, look, this is the account book of the Jade Emperor Temple last month. A total of 721 taels of silver were received from believers, but 852 taels were spent!"

The clerk pointed at the account book in his hand with a look of contempt on his face.

"Sir, I bet that this account book is definitely fake!"

"No one would do business at a loss!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Yunhou turned around and walked towards the Taoists, shouting at them in a very unfriendly tone.

"Why, are you afraid that I will come to check your accounts, so you brought a bunch of fake account books to fool the court?"

Taoist Qingyue was stunned: "What are you talking about, sir!"

"From top to bottom, there are only seven of us. How can we make so many account books overnight?"

"Every one of these account books is real. If you don't believe me, I can guarantee it with my own life!"

Guo Yunhou was stunned for a moment. In his opinion, Taoist Qingyue's attitude did not seem fake at all.

But.........

This is completely different from what he imagined!

Four and a half million silver coins were found in Longfu Temple. As a Taoist temple in the same city, how could its life be so miserable?

Cheating children!
