Xiyang North City, there are tides of pilgrims in Anning Temple, bells, wooden fish ringing, and chanting scriptures. Good men and women burn incense and pray, praying for the Buddha to bless themselves or their families, or be safe, have a prosperous fortune, or all their wishes come true. Tian Shu『Novel『

The trend of worshipping Buddhism is prevalent across the country, so there are Buddhist temples in Xiyang City, which originally had no Buddhist temples. Just like other big cities, Buddhist temples are located in the city.

Although it is not as large as more than a thousand temples in Luoyang City, and the evening drum and morning bell are a bit noisy, this Buddhist temple fulfills the wishes of many people and is very popular among the residents of Xiyang.

There are many unsatisfactory things in the world. When encountering all kinds of disagreements, they go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha for blessings. This is also a common human nature. Therefore, after the government expanded Xiyang City, they also found a monk who became a Taoist monk and built a temple in Xiyang City to meet the needs of the people to worship Buddha.

The reason why temples were built in the city was to facilitate people to burn incense and worship Buddha, and to restrict Buddhist temples to avoid "demon monks" that would not only destroy the pure land of Buddhism and harm the people.

If we talk about where the Buddhist temples are most prosperous, they should belong to the Three Wu areas of the Southern Dynasty. From emperors, powerful people to ordinary people, they were not reluctant to donate property to the temples. This led to many temples accumulated over time and over again, and the temples were extremely abundant.

Not only are the fields full of the sky, but there are also a lot of money. Monks are restricted by the rules and regulations and cannot blatantly spend money on their own. Over time, they have a new "business": renting land for pawns and lending.

Some temples act in this way, with the original intention of helping the poor people, and there are also many temples that use this to make fish and meat to become usury owners. Therefore, the Huangzhou general manager Yuwen Wen will never allow such a phenomenon to occur under his rule.

The temple must be located in the city, and there is no land under its name. The source of income depends entirely on donations, which will prevent the temple from invading farmland in the future and turning into a cancer.

The "business" in the temple must be normal, and pawning and lending are prohibited. For things like "staying overnight and giving birth to children", as long as they appear together, the monks will roll up the bed and get out of the box and replace them with another batch.

There is only one temple in Xiyang City. Believers are not allowed to sacrifice their homes as temples, nor are Anning Temple allowed to expand its scale without authorization.

Due to various restrictions, since its completion, Anning Temple in Xiyang City has not had a dispute and adopted many abandoned babies. It has a good reputation. Therefore, more and more people come to the temple to worship Buddha and pray to the Buddha to bless themselves and their families.

Wu Ming, the dictionary guard of the King of Xiyang Palace, listened to the familiar scriptures, restrained the urge to recite scriptures with the monk. He looked carefully at the crowd in front of the temple, exchanged glances with his companions, and made a gesture back without showing any expression.

The monthly thief catching competition has officially begun!

In the pure land of Buddhism, there are actually thieves who steal the property of believers, which is simply "tolerable". The consecration office of the Xiyang Prince's Mansion is very happy to "consecrate" these bastards. As the consecration office, Wu Ming, who is the consecration office, naturally has to lead the newcomers to experience it.

"Hey, there are three groups of thieves, each group of at least two people, one steals things and the other lets the wind. Be careful, you can jump over the wall, those thieves have sharp blades hidden on them."

"Ah? I can't understand what you said!"

Wu Ming passed by, shouting loudly in an accent from other places, for fear that others wouldn't hear that he was a new arrival, and he was carrying a package and looked cautious in guarding the thief, but his whole body was full of flaws, like a fat sheep.

There are shortages of people everywhere in Xiyang City, so the arrested thieves are usually worthy of being a hardworking worker, and the kind who do not have wages. There are "subsidies" to catch thieves, and soldiers and yamen runners like this kind of life the most.

"Thank you so much for helping to catch the thief."

"Where is it our duty to share the worries about robbers for the government."

......

In a tea shop, Wu Ming and several other "old men" were drinking tea with new people, and by the way, they summarized the experience and lessons of catching the thief this time. This tea shop is their "partner" and is not afraid of anyone eavesdropping.

"Everyone performed well just now, but they ignored the thief. You should know that if this thief slips away, a group of thieves will gather again in a short time. It's really annoying."

"Boss, what should we do if these thieves remember our appearance and wait for an opportunity to retaliate?"

"There are recruiting workers everywhere in Xiyang City. These people are strong in their hands and feet but would rather steal. Do you think they can still come out after entering the brick kiln and quarry? Will those bosses let go of these expensive coolies?"

Wu Ming sneered, "Another, if you catch a thief, remember the other person's appearance more, it's always good to have multiple minds."

"But you can't defend day and night, you can't defend it."

"I can't help it. If I am unlucky and stabbed by these people, I will leave clues no matter what. In the future, the consecration office will definitely take revenge. I will peel them off and hang them on the top of the city to dry!"

"What does the boss mean?"

"If a thief dares to take revenge and harm me as a companion, they must know what it means to live, die, and see who is cruel!"

"Yes, these birds dare to bully the kind people. If you really want to fight hard, see who is too tough!"

Drinking is a mistake, so Wu Ming and others usually drink tea when they come out. They ordered a few dishes of pastries to make do with lunch. They shook their energy and continued to catch mice. Walking on the street, Wu Ming continued to teach his experience:

"I tell you, no matter how good you are, you must be able to run first. If you really want to be attacked by someone, you can still escape if you can't beat them, let alone catch the thief."

Take out a purse from your arms and weigh it with your hands. Wu Ming began to show off: "Believe it or not, even if a brave thief steals the purse in a while, can I still recover it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew past him. He lighted his hand and the wallet disappeared. When he looked up, he saw that he had grabbed the wallet and was running forward with great effort.

"Bastard, dare to steal my stuff and chase me!"

"Boss, is it a trap?"
