Chapter 58: Drive the Buddha out of Chang'an
Chapter 58: Drive Buddha out of Chang'an
Yi Fan saw Xuan Ku looking at him with complicated eyes. Looking at Xuan Ku's back, the monks glared at him, but there was a bit of fear in his eyes.
How can a person who can control life and death in his palms not be afraid?
Yi Fan stepped forward a few steps, about seven or eight meters away from Xuan Ku, and said, "You should be the leader of these monks in Chang'an City, right?"
Xuan Ku did not speak, but just chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha!"
Yi Fan just thought he was right. Anyway, his words were for all monks to listen to, and he didn't care whether there was a leader.
"The rumors a few days ago were told by me to pay someone to spread them."
As soon as these words were spoken, the monks suddenly became riots, and some even took a few steps forward, as if they were about to fight Yi Fan.
Behind Yi Fan, Yi Yun and others all pointed their cuffs at the monks.
Although the Xiunu was confiscated by the people from the Wuhou Yamen last time, there are two people from the public losers in heaven and earth, so it is not easy to make it again?
Xuan Ku stopped those who were turbulent and chanted the Buddha's name and said, "Amitabha, it's easy to giver, just say something."
"Okay, then I'll say that spending money to spread rumors is my conspiracy against you. Today I will use a conspiracy against you.
For my summer ice making method, you did not hesitate to break into my heaven and earth at night, but unexpectedly they were captured by me.
One of them is a wanted criminal in the government and a devil who killed the whole family. This is something that the people in Chang'an know about. It can be seen that your Buddhism is not a pure place, but a place where dirt is hidden.
Then you sent someone to assassinate me on the Mid-Autumn night, which is also something that the people of Chang'an know.
You have targeted me again and again, and even wanted to kill my life. You asked the people around you to judge me. Is it too much for me to spend money to spread your rumors?"
At this time, the people gathered around also started to discuss.
People A: "It turns out that these monks are so hateful. Although the little gods are very capable, they are just teenage kids no matter how hard they are. These monks are so serious about them, ah..."
People B: "As far as I know, those a few days ago were not all rumors. A relative who was a servant in a wealthy businessman said that these monks colluded with merchants to give usury, but that was the case."
People C: "What a coincidence, I also have a relative who works as a friend in a wealthy businessman. According to him, these monks not only lend usury, but also hoard food to seek violence in the years of famine."
The people are blindly following. Seeing that these people with relatives in wealthy businesses are like themselves and ordinary people, they naturally choose to believe them.
The people were talking louder and louder, and then they looked at the monks headed by Xuan Ku.
A monk was stared at by the eyes of the people and said to the people with trembling words: "You...how can you be ungrateful? We gave you porridge and treat you yesterday."
At the end of the day, the monk became more and more confident.
Hearing the monk's words, the people also looked at each other.
"Ha ha……"
Yi Fan laughed loudly, and at the same time attracted everyone's attention.
The monk pointed at Yi Fan and said, "Why are you laughing at?"
Yi Fan looked at the monk disdainfully and said, "Why am I laughing at you? I laugh at you shamelessly. I have never seen such a shameless person like you.
Where did you make alms begging on weekdays? It’s not that the people are in the hands of these people. When the people are in a little trouble, you just give alms and have a look of lofty benefactors.
The things you gave alms are not obtained from the people, but you are just returning the things that are theirs to them again. Who gave you the courage to be so arrogant? Well!!!”
The last sentence Yi Fan almost yelled.
"Besides, if I didn't force you to do the things you should have done so kindly?"
Yi Fan's short sentence can be said to be a heart-killing word. Just this sentence has turned the efforts of Buddhism these days into nothing.
All the monks instantly became like eggplant under the scorching sun, and they went on.
After listening to Yi Fan's words, the people's hunched backs also stood up.
The monk still pointed at the Taoist priest here in dissatisfaction and said, "Are they the same?"
Yi Fan was too lazy to see the monk and said, "When will the Taoist sect be like you? When they need money and food, they will earn it based on their own ability.
For example, looking at the figures, fortune telling, avoiding good and bad luck, setting up graves, looking at Feng Shui, etc. When will the Taoist sect reach out to the people to ask for something like you or others?"
Xuan Kuo looked sad and stepped forward and said, "Amitabha, God can still forgive evils, but he can't survive if he commits evils. He will make a donor..."
Before Xuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yi Fan and said, "Stop, I am not a donor, and I will not give you anything."
Yi Fan pointed at the people around him and said, "Your donor is them. Don't you think you should say something to these parents who are fed and clothed? Or do you do something?"
Xuan Ku's already sad face became even more bitter. Facing the people around him, Xuan Ku said, "Ami..."
Before the Xuanku Buddha's name was finished, a rotten egg was beaten firmly on the bald head, and the egg white and egg yolk were left along the bald head.
The commoner who had previously said that he had relatives as servants in a wealthy businessman raised the eggs in his hand and shouted: "Friends, don't listen to these monks' swear words, they are the best at bewitching people's hearts.
Think about the real money and food we gave them, but they gave us some clear soup and porridge. We still have to be grateful to him. If the little god had not pointed it out, we would not know how long we would have been deceived by them and drove these liar monks out of Chang'an."
Under the instigation of a few thoughtful people, the people began to be excited.
"Drive out of Chang'an."
"Turn away these monks."
"Take these scammers away."
Countless rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves flew towards the monks, and the monks had to flee in a panic.
This day was a disaster for monks and nuns. Countless monks were expelled from Chang'an by the people, countless temples were looted, and even the gold powder on the Buddha statue was scraped off.
The people are kind and simple, and they are also crazy.
It is exactly in line with Li Shimin's famous saying that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat.
Li Shimin put down his imperial pen and saw a few words written in flying white on the precious rice paper, which was exactly the same as "water can carry a boat, but can also overturn the boat."
Ang Lee stood beside him and said, "The flying white body of the emperor is becoming more and more charming."
Li Shimin held the rice paper in front of him and said, "This Buddhist temple in Chang'an City is really successful and defeated.
This time I was a cheaper one, and I didn’t expect that this Buddhist sect was really rich. I guess those rumors were not groundless.
Speaking of which, I have to thank this Yi Fan for making me make a small contribution.
This kid really surprised me constantly. He turned his hands and saved a dying person. He turned his hands and drove the Buddhist sect that threatened him out of Chang'an."
