Chapter 459 The final solution of the disaster (two in one)
Zhang Liang and others didn't do anything at all this time. They watched it as a lively all the way, watching the monks' powerless protection of property, and watching the victims' killing and looting without recognizing their relatives.
The ugly appearance of human nature in the world is fully exposed in the face of such famine.
What Buddhist believers? What kind of compassion is to sacrifice oneself for others? At this time, both sides tore off all the disguised masks and return to the barbaric era, fighting like two teams of wild beasts.
"Haha, faith? Buddha? How ridiculous? This drama is really exciting, exciting!" Zhang Liang mocked.
At this moment, a young and strong man rushed over, "General Zhang, come to ask for help from the general!"
"Oh? Mr. Xue? What happened? I haven't seen the young master appear in several days." Zhang Liang had met Xue Rengui, so he naturally knew him.
"General, I am ordered to secretly protect Di Renjie, but now the Shaolin Temple is in chaos, I search for Shaolin Temple and can't find Di Renjie. Please help me send someone to search. If Di Renjie is in trouble, I am not sure how to explain to the miracle doctor." Xue Li was almost stunned.
When Zhang Liang heard that it was Di Renjie's business, he immediately became concerned and ordered without hesitation that hundreds of people under him divided into ten directions to search in all directions, and to see people alive and corpses alive!
"Young Master Xue, please follow me and go to the temple to grab some questions." Zhang Liang said with a murderous look on his face. He was very grateful to Di Renjie for helping him revenge, so he was also worried about Di Renjie's safety.
The two led dozens of personal guards. After arresting more than a dozen monks for questioning, someone finally said that they saw three old monks fleeing towards the back mountain with the little monk Wukong.
Zhang Liang and the other two were shocked. If Di Renjie was abducted by the old monk, it would be a disaster. After all, that boy was only ten years old and had been abducted and sold to Buddhism. If Du Shaoqing returns, he will not get angry?
"No further ado, chase! How far can a few old monks get with a child?"
An hour later, he finally caught up with him. Zhang Liang and others showed off their weapons and shouted: "Where is the old monk going? Let that child go!"
When the three old monks saw dozens of strong men holding weapons and walking steadily, they were obviously skilled in martial arts and were not mediocre.
"No, the people who came here are not good, they are coming for Wukong." An old monk frowned.
"Let's fight with them!" another old monk shouted anxiously.
The leader of the three sighed: "Oh, the abbot said that this time the victims robbed food and destroyed Shaolin, but how could the victims have all the young men who brought weapons? It is obvious that these people are not the victims.
It seems that Shaolin was plotted against this time, and they came for our Shaolin heritage.
Well, I just ask the Buddha for blessing!
Wukong, you should escape into the mountains alone. The three of us will hold the enemy for you. I hope you will be lucky and have a good appearance of man and heaven, and can keep a trace of incense for Buddhism. As for the truth this time...
Forget it, don’t mention it again in the future, just keep it in mind and be wary of it. Go!"
At this time, Di Renjie could be said to be mixed with all kinds of feelings. Shaolin Temple could be said to be meticulous to him. He also sent the last three people to protect him, but he could not tell them the truth.
People's hearts are full of flesh. Di Renjie looked at the three old monks who were ready to die and wanted to save the lives of the three.
"Three uncles, please don't mind me. I'll go with them. Can you survive?" Di Renjie begged.
"What nonsense are you talking nonsense?
The three of us are already in their twilight years and have been alive for a few days. You are still young, how can you give up easily? Let's go quickly and don't let us sacrifice in vain!"
After a few words of scolding, an old monk stopped delaying, pushed Di Renjie and rushed towards the person he came.
The leader was not Zhang Liang, but Xue Rengui, who was born with divine power. At this time, he was wearing a plain cloth clothes, worried about Di Renjie's safety, and used all his strength to fight the old monk in front.
The old monk came and went quickly, and was beaten back by Xue Rengui. A mouthful of old blood was sprayed out in the air, which shocked everyone on both sides in an instant.
Seeing this, Di Renjie shouted: "No!"
Unfortunately, it was too late. The old monk was already dying after landing. He pointed at Xue Rengui unwillingly and said weakly: "You, are you, are you born with divine power?"
After saying that, his neck tilted and he died.
Zhang Liang and the guards were directly shocked. This is too strong. This kid looks young and so fierce? He beats an old monk to death with one punch? Is it the old monk who is old and has no strength, or is it too strong?
It is obviously the latter. No one would foolishly think that the three old monks in Shaolin Temple are incompetent. They are all martial arts practitioners. Just by looking at their posture and pace, you can tell that they are very skilled in martial arts, but this is not the enemy of Xue Rengui.
At this time, Zhang Liang truly realized Xue Rengui's power, and only then did he feel shocked when he saw it with his own eyes. It was more impactful than when he heard that he defeated Cheng Yaojin before.
"You can't fight hard, Wukong, go quickly, there's not much time!" The old monk in the lead had no time to sad his companion, and pushed Xue Rengui away again and rushed up with his junior brother.
Xue Rengui still remembered Di Renjie shouting no, so hesitated for a moment, but Zhang Liang didn't pay attention.
He shouted and brought the people to meet him, and cursed: "Good here. You are planning to frame me and kill nearly 20,000 innocent people in Luoyang City. Today I will ask you to settle the matter and take your life!"
Di Renjie shouted again from a distance: "No, stop quickly and don't kill them!"
Zhang Liang heard this time, but his hands kept responding loudly: "Boy, this is my personal grudge between Shaolin Temple. You won't understand. Everyone is standing side by side, two old people who are dying are still enemies, so there is no need to tell any rules."
The result was no surprise. Zhang Liang brought half of his personal guards, half of them were Yuchi Gong's personal guards, and even Yuchi Gong's personal guards brought even greater hatred. After all, Yuchi Gong almost died in Luoyang.
In just half a stick of incense, the three old monks were corpsing on the spot, and Di Renjie's eyes were already crying and limping.
Everyone only thought that the child was scared, but who would have thought that Di Renjie was really sad at this time.
When getting along with each other, who can be so kind?
Xue Rengui could guess a little, and after a moment, he wanted to persuade him for a while, Di Renjie said pale and said, "Uncle Xue, General Zhang, can you ask you to help me bury the three of them?
If...If...
Forget it, the rest of Shaolin Temple..."
Xue Rengui interrupted, "Huaiying, don't worry, this matter must be done by the court. I will explain the situation to Wei Xiang and properly buried the monks in Shaolin Temple. After all, people die like lamps, and all debts have been changed."
Zhang Liang wanted to curse a few words, Xue Rengui hurriedly explained: "No matter what, Huaiying has been in Shaolin Temple for a while, and in the next generation of Dr. Du and Huaiying ask for love with General Zhang, what if this matter is confirmed?"
"Well, since it is to let Di Renjie repay his kindness, I will have no objection. No one will be able to get along with a group of corpses. I will give it to me to bring these brothers to do it. I will explain it later on."
"Thank you for your righteousness, General!" Xue Rengui pulled Di Renjie to salute.
Zhang Liang is a benefit of selling Di Renjie with the flow, which can be regarded as a change of favors from the previous ones.
Di Renjie said again: "If possible, please help me to send someone to protect the Sutra Library in Shaolin Temple. People in Buddhism do evil only because of lack of human hearts. However, the sutras in the Sutra Library are the retaining of the wisdom of the predecessors, and it is a pity to destroy them!"
"Oh, these are all trivial matters. You can see that you are a studious person. I will make the decision. In Shaolin Temple, all the books will be given to you." Zhang Liang said in a grand manner. At this time, this person also saw that the Shaolin Temple would die and the previous bald head was left.
It doesn’t matter whether this boy is a real monk or a fake monk, he will be the only successor of Shaolin Temple. Now it seems that the three old monks before also wanted to use it as a Shaolin fire seed. Then the people inherited everything in Shaolin Temple and should be divided, and they should follow the favors! There is nothing rare about a bunch of useless Buddhist scriptures.
The reason why he didn't even give away property in the house was because Zhang Liang knew that the court would accept all this and wanted to be confiscated. His power was limited. He could turn a blind eye to the book and sending farewell would attract criticism.
Fortunately, the victims destroyed Shaolin Temple just to steal food and property. No one cares about the books in the Sutra Library, so when Di Renjie and others arrived, they were intact.
However, more than a thousand monks in the temple were killed, and most of them died in battle. The remaining monks were willing to live and die with the temple, and died in the Main Hall with the old abbot.
It can be said that after the Shaolin Temple was destroyed this time, Di Renjie was really the only survivor left.
The news reached Luoyang City. Although Wei Zheng and others expected it, they couldn't help but feel a little moved after it happened.
"No wonder Your Majesty said back then: Water can carry a boat or overturn it!
Nowadays, we know that this statement is more alert than the people of the ancestors who are more noble than the king and less than the country."
Hou Junji nodded and replied, "Yes, we usually think that 100,000 people cannot match 30,000 troops, but in this famine year and when people can eat people, 100,000 people can be 200,000 tigers!
It was Wei Xiang’s grand plan to prevent us from killing and suppressing the victims, otherwise we would have to cause a big disaster.”
Yuchi Gong, who was recovering from the side, said, "That's right, from the moment I lie down, I knew that this time I was not wronged."
After chatting for a few words, Wei Zheng said loudly: "Okay, Shaolin Temple has been removed now, and the crisis behind the scenes has been temporarily resolved. The top priority is to rescue disasters and raise the people.
If the people really can't survive, they dare to think about attacking Shaolin Temple and major cities.
If you persist for up to one month, it is expected that the first batch of food in the south will be in place.”
Two days later, Zhang Liang led the team back, but Xue Rengui and Di Renjie were not seen in the team. Wei Zheng was puzzled and asked, because his newly accepted disciple Wang Xuance came to ask about the whereabouts of his friend Di Huaiying every day.
Zhang Liang explained, Wei Zheng nodded and said, "This child is only ten years old, so he has to bear such complicated pressure. It's rare, but what's even more rare is that he has a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. He has received favors from others and has rewarded him with a little or two for his keeping. It's great!
Let’s not worry about it, as long as it’s safe, let the Prince Du of Chang’an work hard.”
Di Renjie personally buried his abbot's master, the uncle of the One-day teacher, the monk Tanzong who passed on his skills, and the three old monks who protected the Dharma, and sincerely kept their souls for seven days.
In front of the old abbot's tomb, Di Renjie respectfully kowtowed three times: "Master, my disciple is leaving. Although the Shaolin Temple is caused by disaster, it is the fire that the disciples lit in the end. No matter how much Shaolin Temple owes the world, he has never owed his disciples a single point, so the disciples owe you once.
You and I have less than a month of master and disciple, so I can't say that the relationship between master and disciple, and you didn't teach me anything. Maybe your life is like your own Dharma name. Monk Lingyun, who is determined to go straight to the clouds, but goes astray and eventually regrets and commits suicide.
The disciples owe Shaolin, so they dare not say that they promised you to rebuild Shaolin, but they can agree that Shaolin Buddhism and martial arts are passed down continuously. No matter you are in the nine springs, that's all.
Master, all the teachers, disciples, say goodbye!"
Xue Rengui saw everything, took Di Renjie's hand and comforted him: "Don't feel too guilty, Buddhism talks about cause and effect, does good and evil lead to rewards?
They have caused a murderous disaster due to greed and have been killed. No matter whether you are or not, they will never be able to escape death. They can find you to leave the inheritance. If you don’t owe them, they will help them instead.
Moreover, the miraculous doctor said that you will be a marquis and ministers in the future. In the future, you will be in power and will be destined to pursue justice and make decisions for the people. The world's righteousness and private favors will be separated."
Di Renjie nodded regretfully and said, "Thank you, Uncle Xue, I can figure this out, but it's a pity that they are gone, every piece is dead. If you say nothing, you will disappear. Moreover, there are not all bad people in the temple, and there are also good people, who die innocently."
"Haha, I can't answer this question. Go back and ask your master."
The two of them found a group of helpers and transported all the books they found in Shaolin Temple and went straight back to Chang'an. They did not rebel Luoyang again. The matter was over. Shaolin Temple was destroyed. As the victims scattered, the scandal of Buddhist monks spread all over the world, and the world was in a big uproar. Half a month later, the Buddhist temple in Wutai Mountain was also destroyed.
From then on, Buddhism lost its foundation in the Tang Dynasty. The monk who truly practiced Buddhism could only hide in the mountains and practice on his own. If he wanted to spread the teachings among the people, no one could listen.
A month later, a large ship from the south transported grain all the way north and went straight to the mouth of the Yellow River in the north. The continuous transport of grain ships allowed the people suffering from Henan Road to see hope and the disaster situation was quickly alleviated.
This efficiency is unprecedentedly prosperous than the Grand Canal transport of grain in the former Sui Dynasty. In addition, Feng Ang from Lingnan said that he had already built a piece of land in the barbarian land. In the future, there will be a steady supply of grain to the north every year. The court was very happy. If someone had not stopped him, Li Er would have wanted to confer a favor on King Feng Ang directly.
The drought on Henan Road was about to end. During this period, Henan Yin was arrested and Buddhism was over. The officials of Henan Road gradually became uneasy. No one was a fool. The end of the drought was the time for the court to hold the accountable. Then wouldn’t it be liquidated one by one?
However, these are all matters of the court, so naturally there are capable people to cook. Let’s not mention them for now. Let’s talk about the Du family in Chang’an. Du Shaoqing sent a disciple to destroy the Buddhist sect, but it was very popular.
There is no airtight wall in the world, and I don’t know who spread it out. Maybe it’s because of the jealous emperor Li Er, who is a little jealous of his son-in-law.
