Chapter 362: Good deeds are rewarded, and evil deeds are punished;
There were originally many monks in Datian'en Temple, but most of the young and middle-aged monks were forced to build the pagoda.
At this time, the remaining hundreds of monks were imprisoned in the tallest Thousand Buddha Pagoda in the temple.
In addition, there are two outsiders, Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou.
It is said that monks have seen through the world and their hearts are as calm as still water.
But these monks obviously have not yet reached the state of seeing through life and death.
Everyone looked grim and panicked.
"Their stuff was lost, why did they lock us up here? We didn't steal it! They were the ones who didn't keep watch!"
"That's right. Even if they want to arrest us, they have to have evidence! They have nothing now, so why are they locking us up?"
"Ever since they came, we've been living in fear every day. When will it end?"
…
The younger novice monk was frightened and started crying.
Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou behaved in complete contrast to the monks. After being locked up, they found a place to sit down calmly.
Yun Fu felt that it was really boring to just sit there and do nothing, so she found a scripture from the bookshelf nearby to pass the time.
However, the content of the scripture was too boring, and she began to feel sleepy after reading a few pages.
Qi Hanzhou saw the little girl opposite him holding her chin up and yawning several times after turning a few pages. He smiled dotingly and said, "If you feel sleepy, just lie down and take a nap. I'll wake you up if anything happens."
Yun Fu wanted to take a nap, but the monks around her started chanting in order to relieve the tension and fear in their hearts.
Who can sleep with a group of monks chanting in your ears?
Yun Fu propped herself up on her little arms, her watery eyes scanning the surroundings until they finally landed on an old monk in the corner with white beard and eyebrows. "That old monk is quite calm, isn't he?"
Qi Hanzhou followed her gaze and his eyes suddenly darkened.
If he remembered correctly, that person should be the abbot of Datian'en Temple, Master Shikong.
This monk is considered to be quite famous in the entire Five Kingdoms and is said to be over a hundred years old.
"Xiao Fu'er, that is the abbot of the Great Tian'en Temple, Master Shikong."
"Oh, it's the abbot! No wonder he's so steady."
Yun Fu wanted to look away, but the old monk with his eyes closed and rosary in his hand seemed to sense something, opened his eyes, and looked in their direction.
After their eyes met.
Yun Fu had no intention of dodging, but instead exchanged glances with the old monk for a few seconds. Seeing that he did nothing, she slowly withdrew her gaze.
Shi Kong whispered a few words to the disciples around him.
Got some responses.
He glanced meaningfully in the direction of Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou a few times before looking away.
On Yun Fu's side, the little monk who had led them into the temple before came over again.
"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and let the two donors stay. That way, you two wouldn't have suffered this disaster."
Yun Fu was stunned. It turned out that the little monk came to apologize to them!
She felt very embarrassed.
After all, this matter does have something to do with them.
"Young Master, there is no need to blame yourself. It was us who decided to stay. It has nothing to do with you. Besides, we are just locked up here now. It can't be considered a disaster." Yun Fu smiled and comforted the little monk.
Unexpectedly, the little monk revealed an expression uglier than crying: "Donor, you are late. I don't know how terrible the temper of that great general named Zhu is! If he can't find what he lost, he will definitely not let us go."
"Brother Liaoye accidentally bumped into him and was beaten to death. Junior Brother Liaoran, Junior Brother Liaoran, was taken into the courtyard by the general. When he came out, he was covered in wounds and even his tongue had been cut. When my uncle went to seek justice for Junior Brother Liaoran, he was beheaded by the general and his body was thrown to feed the general's dogs."
The young monk accused General Zhu of evil deeds, his hands clenched into fists under the long sleeves of his monk's robe, which showed how strong the fear and hatred he suppressed in his heart was.
Yun Fu had already been disgusted with the conceited general because she had caught him doing that kind of thing with a woman in the temple. Now, after listening to the little monk's story, Yun Fu's eyes couldn't help but turn a little colder. She parted her pink lips and said calmly, "Don't you Buddhists always say that good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil; isn't it that there's no retribution, but the time hasn't come yet? Well, we'll just have to wait and see. His retribution should be coming soon."
"Will he really get his comeuppance?" The little monk's eyes were filled with confusion.
Yun Fu nodded: "I definitely will!"
If God doesn't take this evil man away, then she will take him away!
Another half day passed.
No one has ever opened the door from outside.
The general named Zhu, surrounded by a group of fully armed officers and soldiers, swayed his fat body from side to side and walked straight to the abbot Master Shikong.
In the small eyes, which were squeezed by the flesh to a line, there was a fierce light and the expression was like that of a poisonous snake.
As soon as he spoke, his voice was filled with resentment. "I heard that Master Shikong is not only proficient in Buddhism, but also has great skills and martial arts skills. So, the theft of the bones in the cave must have been done by you!"
Shi Kong slowly opened his eyes, but before he could speak, he could speak.
The monks around him spoke up for him: "How could this be? The abbot has been meditating and chanting in the temple the entire time. He has never left. The general must have made a mistake!"
"Do you have the right to speak before me?" Zhu Zhen glared at him fiercely. "Come here, drag him out and chop him up!"
Shi Kong couldn't bear to see his disciple being persecuted because of him, so he stood up and moved quickly to protect the person behind him.
"Amitabha, General Zhu, this is a sacred Buddhist place, and killing is forbidden! If you have any questions, please talk to me. It has nothing to do with these children."
Zhu Zhen didn't force the man to leave. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and smiled cunningly, "I really need to discuss this with you, Master. After all, you're the only one who has this skill. No one else has it."
"General, if you have anything to say, just say it." Shi Kong's voice was calm.
After all, he is a monk who has lived for hundreds of years. Even in this state, he can still maintain a calm expression on his face.
As if he really saw through everything.
In this world, no one and nothing can affect his mood.
Don't let any fluctuations occur in his heart.
Yun Fu and Qi Hanzhou were standing aside and did not attract their attention.
But Yun Fu had almost guessed what the Fat Intestine General wanted to do.
This is because they failed to catch the person who actually stole the corpse, so they planned to let the old monk take the blame.
