A Monk's Duty
"Hello, this is C City's *** regiment ** battalion *** company."
" This is for you." Ciel handed his ID to the captain.
"Hello, Chief!" He looked at his credentials. Although this person's military rank was the same as his, he was now a special commissioner representing the higher-ups, so the company commander tactfully called him chief.
Charles nodded and followed the captain into the barracks.
They talked for a long time, but it was all about some plans.
After two days of night scouting, Charles had also obtained a lot of evidence. Of course, he still had to play with Deputy Chief Guo during the day. He had not seen the chief of the city since the first day.
The plan for tomorrow was to send him off after a two-day tour.
Of course, this was an opportunity for Charles.
The documents were already in his hands, and he was just short of an arrest.
He obviously couldn't do it himself. He couldn't possibly hand it over to the higher-ups and let them look like they had been beaten up, right?
Moreover, the chief had also dispatched a large number of police officers every day to 'protect' the safety of the commissioner.
Even if he could protect himself, he couldn't protect Hou Liangping. After all, he was following Hou Liangping on a mission. If he was injured, how could he survive?
·················
** Mountain in ** County, C City.
" Everyone, please take a look. This is an ancient temple in our city that has been around for hundreds of years," a tour guide introduced.
Charles looked around lazily. It was indeed not bad, but Charles was not interested in temples. On the contrary, Hou Liangping, who was standing at the side, looked very interested, which made Charles speechless.
"What's wrong, Commissioner Xia? Not interested in Buddhist temples?" Guo Hong said.
"Heh, hehe, it's alright."
"No way. This temple is the best in the city. It cost 100 million to build it. This is the best Buddhist temple in the city."
"Heh, although I'm not very interested in the temple itself, I feel that the good or bad of a temple can't be judged by how much money is spent on the decorations.”
"Oh? "There are monks in the temple of the commissioner's house," Guo Hong said lightly, and his face was no longer as gentle as before.
" I can't say for sure, but I've been to the temple there once. Although I'm not interested, I've seen that the monks are also very serious about helping people solve their doubts, instead of introducing the temple," Charles said calmly.
" If that's the case, how can we develop tourism?" Guo Hong said." If going to the temple to read the fortune is effective, who needs treatment? If you're sick, you can just go and kowtow."
"Heh, heh heh. Although divination isn't very useful, they know that they are monks and do their own things. When they go out, someone will invite them to their home for a cup of tea. Although their days are very ordinary, they are also very serious in reading Buddhist scriptures."
" So, Commissioner Xia thinks that all the monks here are fake monks?" Guo Hong said coldly." Can't monks live better lives? Must they live the life of ascetics?"”
" It's not that you can't live well, but you have to have your own bottom line. The rules of a monk," Charles met Guo Hong's gaze and said expressionlessly," It's just like why there were so many emperors in ancient China who went to destroy Buddha and not Dao.”
"Commissioner Xia, what do you think?"
"Buddhism is the path of cultivating the heart. However, if a monk shaved his head, people would mistake him for a monk. And Taoist priests did not just wear Taoist robes. In the end, the prosperity of Buddha came from his bewitchment, and he was destroyed because he was too prosperous.”
"In the end, it's just that the ruler is afraid of this power.”Guo Hong said disdainfully.
"No, no, no. That's just one of them. In the end, Buddhism is an outsider. It's just that its teachings meet the needs of the rulers, so it was left behind. After he flourished, he enjoyed all kinds of benefits from the country, but in the end, he did something that harmed the country. Then, do you think he should be destroyed?"
" Haha, hahaha!" Guo Hong suddenly laughed. "I was thinking of sending you guys on the plane tomorrow and returning to Hillford 'safely' to say a few words for me.”
" Did we get a lot of things?" Hou Liangping hurriedly asked.
" No." Guo Hong's smile was completely gone. "You guys don't want to leave, right?"
