"Wukong, do you understand what Master means to tell you about your brother's incident?"

"The disciple is dull."

"Disciple, you have to know that people come and go in this world are just for the word fame and fortune. I will explain it more thoroughly, such as the status of Buddhism, the treatment of monks and Taoists, whether there is too much land in the temple, etc., after all, it is just the word fame and fortune. By the way, do you still remember which monk Falin came here last year?"

"Remember!"

"That monk Falin doesn't care about food and drink, dress, or residence. On the surface, he seems to be really transcendent. But as soon as he discovered that the status of a Taoist priest might have surpassed that of a monk, he immediately set out to Chang'an to change this situation. Do you think he really saw through fame and fortune?"

"Master, do you mean that although my brother is sitting in a temple, he cannot understand your true meaning of meditation because he has the word "fame and fortune" in his heart."

"Of course not!"

“…”

"I said Wukong, I think you are very clever, why can't you understand such a simple thing? Do you think your brother's qualifications think that he can really be enlightened overnight?" Monk Daoxin picked up the teacup and took another sip of water.

"What a teacher means is that no matter whether you are a villain who is rampant on the street or an invincible hero in the world, as long as you involve the word fame and fortune, you will inevitably be blinded by these two words. Just like Monk Falin, he only thought that the monk's interest status would be taken away by the Taoist priests, so he should make the emperor give up the Taoist priest and convert to the monk, but he forgot one thing..."

"What's the matter?"

"The wealth is touching!"

"Master, what do you mean?"

"What does it mean? Do you know that my good disciple, how many monks were there in the world during the Sui Dynasty, and how much land and land were there in these monks?"

"The disciple doesn't know."

"Then I will tell you that during the Daye period, there were 3,985 Buddhist temples and 235,200 monks and nuns in the world. Among these Buddhist temples, a few temples had hundreds of acres of fields, and a few temples had tens of thousands of acres of fields or more. All of these temples were combined, and there were about 40,000 acres of fields."

"More than 40,000 acres?" Wukong was so surprised that he almost couldn't speak.

"That's right, if you add some mountain forests that cannot be cultivated, this number will probably be even more amazing. Moreover, this is just land, not including the gold and silver donations from the believers in the temple, etc. By the way, good disciples, do you know how much land and land those Taoists have?"

"The disciple doesn't know."

"Less than one percent of this number."

"No, can the Taoists not be greedy for money?"

"It's not that the Taoist priests are not greedy for money, but that they want to be greedy for nowhere to be greedy." Master Daoxin said with a smile, "When Li Yuan raised his army from Jinyang a few years ago, Qi Hui from Lou Guan Dao took out all the money and grain from the temple to support him. That was really a huge sum of money. There were hundreds of stones of food and thousands of stakes of money. At that time, Li Yuan was moved to tears."

"Is that true? But since he has put such great efforts into Li Yuan, his disciple has never heard of his name before?"

"You haven't heard it? Your master must have told you, oh, by the way, I forgot. When was his name Qi Hui, and after this incident, he changed his name to Qi Pingding in order to flatter Li Yuan, which means that Li Yuan will definitely pacify the world. Their Louguan Dao has this tradition of changing its name, such as the sensation last year, Ji Shanxing, the Taoist priest of Louguan who had known for seeing the sage of the Taishang Laojun, also changed his name. Do you know what he was called before?"

"The disciple doesn't know."

Master Daoxin picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, then slowly said: "His name is Ji Nianhui, and he is Qi Pingding's son."

"Oh, I'll understand if I say that." Wukong nodded blankly before he realized, "What, is he Qi Pingding's son?"

"That's right, but Ji Shanxing's mother is not Qi Pingding's wife." Master Daoxin continued calmly, "Disciple, let's not talk about other people's privacy. You should know that the Taoist priests' private lives are very chaotic, and what the master really wants to tell you is not that Qi Pingding had an affair with someone else's wife and gave birth to a child."

Wukong blinked at Master Daoxin, as if, 80% were probably the one who was gossiping at the beginning, it wasn't him!

Bang!

Master Daoxin put away the ruler in his hand seriously, "What I want to tell you is that Lou Guan Dao is the largest Taoist temple in Bingzhou, and he can only take out hundreds of stones of grain and thousands of scattered money, but do you know, disciple, that any temple in Bingzhou can take out at least three times the amount of money and grain."

"Actually, this is meaningless. After all, the Taoist priests took out the money, but the monks didn't even pay a single copper coin. But Li Yuan knew about this, this was a trouble." Master Daoxin sighed, "So, the wisdom of Tiantai Sect is really a dead time. Whose guy is a fool who reads the scriptures and reads stupidly? If the monks of Tiantai Sect were doing something when Li Yuan raised his army, Li Tang would not have acted like a respectful Taoist priest."

"In addition, my good disciple, the letter from the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Zhicao, who asked someone to send someone to send someone to come this year. The letter said that he had already sent a monk down the mountain to assist Li Shimin in attacking Wang Shichong, so let's not worry. But I'm very curious, my good disciple, why are you so sure that in a few years, Li Tang will definitely want to abolish Shaolin Temple?"

Is this a question? It’s so clear in history books! Wukong blinked his beautiful big eyes, but he thought so, but this question cannot be answered like this! "This... isn’t it obvious? But I said, Master, you said that the monks of Tiantai Sect are stupid. Are all the monks in Bingzhou from Tiantai Sect? "

"Of course not!" Master Daoxin calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Good disciple, I have to say that the new tea you came up with is really of immeasurable merit."

"Master... It's a very immoral act."

"Hey, good disciple, you know that the behavior you call "Wanglou" is very immoral?"

“…”

ps: Oh, there is a lot less recommendation for a line of words, and it seems that the clicks are indeed missing. It seems that the editor I complained about this week to Feng Chuo is really not good. Now it seems that it is wrong to blame someone.
