Yan Song sneered and did not reply. He pointed outside and asked,"Monk, for a temple, there are hundreds of houses, hundreds of gold and bronze Buddha statues, gold bricks on the ground, and silver walls. Such extravagance, could it be that it was also decided by the Buddha?”
"Amitabha. Patron, you're too good. Because Buddha has great power, you can enjoy the worship of believers!”Tyrant said with a benevolent expression. What he meant was that only in this way would the believers be in awe.
"Hahaha!" Yan Song laughed loudly." Great power? I've never seen you subdue a demon, nor have I seen you do anything for the people. You're just using your mouth to deceive the people. Forget it, forget it. It's useless to say more!"
As soon as he said this, the monk was finally furious. His kind face disappeared, and Yan Song saw a hint of ferocity.
"Don't you know that this temple was expanded by Emperor Xuan De? Are you doubting the Great Ming Emperor?"
"Of course I know, but it is precisely because of this that you should know how to appreciate the late emperor's favor and do something for this world, instead of sitting here and waiting to receive money with a clear conscience.”Yan Song naturally wouldn't fall for this monk's trick and directly used the Emperor to retort.
The Buddhist Sect's routine was nothing more than fooling the common people and deceiving the world to gain fame. How could Yan Song have a good expression? In his previous life, Yan Song had once been to Shangri-La and met a temple on the way. At that time, he was curious why there was a lonely police station in the wilderness near the temple. Later, the driver explained that he was just a guard.
Guard…It wasn't a lot of words, but the meaning was clear.
They only knew how to exploit and not contribute. In history, they had destroyed countless dynasties and embezzled countless life-saving money from their believers, but they only knew how to sit high and recite a few nonsense scriptures.
The monk's cold gaze was like a knife,""May I know your name, benefactor?”
"You'll know soon enough!" Yan Song smiled casually. He waved his hand, lost interest, and turned to leave.
The monk wouldn't let Yan Song leave. He snorted coldly and stood in front of Yan Song,"Patron, since you have insulted Buddha, why don't you stay for three days to eat vegetarian food and pray to Buddha to atone for your sins?”
Yan Song laughed out loud.”
The monk smiled faintly." Of course not. I want you to know the power of Buddha first. Didn't you ask just now?"”
At this moment, a few monks surrounded him. Each of them was very powerful. How could such a physique be raised by eating vegetarian food? What a merciful temple.
Yan Song's face turned cold." Detaining civilians in broad daylight, ignoring the laws of the country. Aren't you afraid that Shuntian Prefecture will arrest you?"”
"Amitabha," Tyrant put his palms together and said mercifully,"Shuntian Prefecture also has Buddhist believers. They will naturally support my journey to Buddhism."”
However, just as the monk was about to force his way in, a group of people suddenly barged in from outside.
All of them were dressed in brocade clothes and were armed with sabers. They were in high spirits and had powerful murderous auras as they surrounded all of these monks.
"Grand Secretary Yan, I'm late, please forgive me!”
The leader was the Jinyiwei Qianhu Lu An, the nephew of the Jinyiwei leader. He was sent by Jiajing to protect the North Korea emissary.
Yan Song nodded and turned to the pale-faced monk. He smiled and said,""Do you know who I am now?"
The monk broke out in a cold sweat and his throat was dry."Yan Song, Grand Elder Yan…Please forgive this poor monk for not recognizing Mount Tai…"
"Beg for mercy now?" Yan Song snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves. Too late."
He said to Lu An," This monk actually dared to imprison me privately. Capture these monks and send them to Shuntian Prefecture for interrogation. Although the late Emperor Xuande gave this Dajue Zen Temple a favor, these monks don't know how to repay it. Instead, they intend to imprison the elders of the temple privately. Moreover, I see that this temple has far exceeded the stipulated scale. It has countless money. I suspect that they are plotting rebellion..."
The monk was almost scared to death as he kowtowed repeatedly."I'm innocent, my lord. I'm innocent. This temple was built by the late emperor!”
Lu An was a little hesitant. The former emperor's name made him a little afraid.
Yan Song snorted coldly." This temple was built in the Liao Dynasty. Are you the descendants of the Liao Dynasty?" What a joke!"
When Lu An heard this, he agreed. Therefore, without saying anything, he ordered people to arrest him.
None of these monks dared to move. This was the Embroidered Uniform Guards, the Emperor's personal guards. Their reputation was terrifying. How could they dare to resist?
Yan Song did not want to raid the temple. He only wanted to capture these few monks and teach them a lesson. It was not the right time to make a big fuss.
Although those believers did not know what was happening here, they stood outside in fear when they saw the Embroidered Uniform Guards. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Yan Song strode away, but he didn't notice Liu Ru and Little Qing, who were disguised as men more than ten meters away.
Qing Zhu looked at its master with admiration."Madam, did you see that? The old master was so powerful that the monk was speechless!”
Liu Rucai was speechless. She had wanted to offer incense to pray, but after hearing what Yan Song said, she felt that it made sense. She was not the kind of woman who said that a woman without talent was virtuous. She was very talented and could easily distinguish right from wrong. She felt that what Yan Song said made sense.
As a result, Liu Ru's worldview collapsed again, and she began to not believe in Buddhism.
"Let's go back." Liu Ru said.
"Hehe, I should have gone back a long time ago. I've long felt that Buddha can't be trusted.”Little Qing said.
With the help of the guards, the two of them left the monastery and arrived at the square at the foot of the mountain. In the end, they saw many people gathered at a certain place and surrounded it. There were waves of crying and cursing coming from inside.
"Aiya, this mother and daughter are so pitiful. Did they just bump into that person? How dare you be beaten and scolded like this!"
"Who is that person? How could he be so arrogant? Doing such a thing in broad daylight?”
"I don't know. He must be some young master.”
"It's definitely not some young master, or even someone from the Ming Dynasty, because I don't understand what they're saying.”
"I heard that it seems that the envoys from the North Korea vassal state came to Ming to learn. Look around them, there are a few Jinyiwei protecting them.”
"Damn it, a small vassal state actually dares to behave atrociously in Great Ming!”
Many people were filled with righteous indignation after hearing this. Because in their eyes, North Korea was just a mountain ditch. How dare they treat the people of the Ming Dynasty like this?
Liu Ru listened to the whole story and frowned. She remembered that the old master was the one who received the North Korean envoy.
"He wouldn't be helping the North Korean envoy to humiliate the people of Great Ming, right?”
