Since Zhang Kewang issued an order to rule martial law in Chengdu, the generals and officials guarding the city gate have become the busiest people.

According to Zhang Kewang's intention, at this special stage, Chengdu City is only allowed to enter but not exit, and those who enter the city must be strictly screened, and those who are suspicious must be reported immediately.

In fact, Zhang Kewang originally meant that he would not even allow him to enter the city, but due to some pressure, he could only settle for the second best.

Even so, the Western Army also had extremely strict requirements and restrictions on those entering the city, and it was impossible for ordinary people to get involved in the city.

The general who guarded the Nancheng was called Wei Sinan, who was a confidant general under Zhang Kewang.

Of course, he understood that the Qing army might launch a fierce attack on Chengdu at any time, so he naturally had to pay 10,000 yuan and be careful when he was at this time.

He even personally inquire about the screening of people entering the city to ensure that everything is foolproof.

But at noon that day, Wei Sinan was dozing in the city tower and heard a small soldier reporting to him in a daze.

Wei Sinan opened his eyes and wiped his face in a hurry, cursing: "Didn't I say that, don't disturb me while I'm sleeping. Are you fucking not having ears or brains?"

The soldier was so scared that he shrank his neck and said, "President Wei, it's a monk...a group of monks are going to enter the city. The young men dare not take their own initiative, so I'll ask for instructions."

"Monk?"

Wei Sinan was stunned for a moment, obviously not responding to why so many monks wanted to enter the city.

"What's the hell is going on? Are these monks in a hurry to get the scriptures?"

He has made many plans and ideas, but he has not taken this situation into consideration.

I didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Do you want to go and see it yourself?"

"Look, of course you have to see!"

Wei Sinan slapped his head, and didn't care about many people pulling up a pair of pants and kicking their boots and walking out.

After going down the city wall through the horse road, Wei Sinan walked in a square step to the city gate.

When the soldiers saw Wei Sinan, they smiled charmingly and greeted him with a charming smile as if they were Hapi Dog when they saw his master.

"Oh, Mr. Wei, why are you here?"

Wei Sinan glared at them fiercely and said, "You damn it, are you slapping me here, where are those bald donkeys?"

"Oh, it turns out you know everything. Here, please hurry up."

Wei Sinan snorted and walked through the doorway and came outside the city surrounded by soldiers.

I saw dozens of monks wearing cassocks gathered at the city gate, chanting the scriptures constantly.

"Those are these people?"

Wei Sinan asked with a twitch.

"Yes, these are these people! They said they came to the city to teach Buddhism."

Teach Buddhism?

Bah, if teaching Buddhism can make people better, the law must be done.

Wei Sinan only knew that if he wanted the people to be obedient, he would have to be strong and sharp.

If the people are disobedient, they will punch them with old punches, breaking a few front teeth, making them bruised and swollen.

In this way, they are afraid, convinced, and dare not cause trouble.

If it doesn't work, take a quick knife and chop off a few heads, killing people to establish their authority.

If you go to the Dharma of God, can you make people good by reciting scriptures? Ghosts believe it.

"Where did you come from? What did you do in Chengdu?"

Wei Sinan swept through the monks and asked in a very arrogant tone.

"Sir Qibing, we are monks from Dajue Temple in Yunnan. We came to Chengdu to preach."

The monk in his forties stood up and bowed to Wei Sinan with his hands folded.

"Dajue Temple?"

Wei Sinan raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there a way to guide you?"

The monk sighed after hearing this, "If there were any Taiping years, there would be road guides, but now that wars in Yunnan are frequent, I can't find the road guides even if I want to go to the government to issue them."

Wei Sinan thought about it carefully and said that the road sign was issued by the government, but now Yunnan is in chaos, so it is normal that the road sign cannot be issued by the government.

If these monks really took it out, Wei Sinan would find it strange.

"But then you must have something to prove your identity, otherwise wouldn't you believe whatever you say?"

"General, don't worry, of course there is this."

The monk paused for a moment, and then took out a notebook from the bag and handed it to Wei Sinan.

"Is this my sacrificial certificate of the monk or it was issued during the Chongzhen period, which can prove my identities."

"oh?"

Wei Sinan's big words were ignorant, and he took the certificate and took a quick look. Seeing that there was a red mark on it, he asked impatiently: "Is it okay for you to stay in Yunnan? What kind of scriptures are you going to teach in Chengdu? I am so idle."

The monk did not have any vitality at all and said calmly: "Good, good, the Dharma says, saving sentient beings is a great merit. I have no other request in this life, I just hope to preach more Buddhism and save more sentient beings."

Wei Sinan was so angry that he waved his hand impatiently: "I know enough, I know, let them in."

"Good, good, General Wei has great merits."

The monk then folded his hands together and bowed to Wei Sinan, and then entered the city with the monks.

"President Wei, I always think these monks are weird."

"All monks are like this. They are all saving everyone, but they have never seen any Buddha come to save me."

Wei Sinan shook his hands and said, "Don't bother me in this way in the future. Can dozens of unarmed bald donkeys make a fuss?"

"Hey, hey, I've recorded it all, I've recorded it."

......

......

The first thing these monks need to do after entering Chengdu City is to find a place to stay.

This sounds simple, but it is not easy.

Although there are many temples in Chengdu, these monks are very clear about their identities, that is, they deceive soldiers guarding the city gates. If they encounter real monks, they will definitely be exposed.

Tong Yanghe once deliberately instructed them not to contact real monks, thus exposing their identity.

But they can't stay in a hotel, which is too easy to attract attention.

So in the end they chose to live in an abandoned City God Temple in the city.

This dilapidated temple has been abandoned for a long time, with weeds and even grass snakes appearing.

The room is filled with spider web dust, so comfort is naturally undeniable.

But the benefit is also obvious, that is, no one else will come.

They are very clear about their tasks. To complete the tasks, they must be low-key and low-key. The fewer people notice their existence, the better.

Anyway, Governor Tong, Governor Hong, sent troops to attack Chengdu for a few days, so they just need to endure it.

Of course, the house still needs to be cleaned up a little, otherwise it will be impossible to live in.

Then buy some pots and pans, and you have to open the stove for at least a few days.

According to the plan, the Qing army launched a large-scale siege at night. Their task was to create chaos in the city as much as possible and reduce resistance for the Qing army to siege the city.
