Overwhelming mountains and rivers

"What?!" The wooden village master slapped the table with his slap, and the wooden table, which had been in disrepair for a long time, fell off a lot of debris and began to crumble.

"That's right. After I left Guizhai that day with my friends, I went to Lushan Temple. I happened to meet a monk who was being chased and killed. In a moment of desperation, I and my friends rescued the monk. The monk told me that he was originally They are the people of Donggu County, who were originally sentenced to death by the county magistrate, and were later arrested and made monks in Lushan Temple, and are still being chased and killed." Chu Xuanzhao said one by one the words he had made up before.

"At that time, I didn't think much about it. Later, the monk asked me to go down and tell his family about this. When I found his family, his family was also being hunted down. I had to save his family again. It was also that The killer told me that they are still killing many people, just to prevent others from knowing that they captured the people and trapped them in Lushan Temple."

"It's only now that I understand that it was only one person who saved that monk. There are many such people in Lushan Temple."

Chu Xuanzhao paused, looked up at the almost raised brows of the Mushan village master, and then said, "Up to now, the people arrested in Lushan Temple don't know that their relatives are outside and are being hunted down."

It was inconvenient for Chu Xuanzhao to tell the owner of Mushanzhai the investigation process, the truth and the false were mixed together, and finally told him the real situation of Lushan Temple.

"His grandma's! It's so utterly devoid of conscience! I must hack those bastards to death!" The wooden village master slapped down hard again, and the wooden table finally couldn't support it, and it shattered with a crash.

"I know the benevolence and righteousness of the village master, so I came to ask the village master for help!" Chu Xuanzhao bowed to the man.

"I always thought that the four or five hundred brothers were killed, but I didn't expect that they were hidden by this group of bald donkeys! They will also kill their families! Damn it! It doesn't need to be said by the distinguished guests. Now that I know, I can’t just leave it alone!” The man spat hard, “I really didn’t expect that group of brothers to be trapped next to me! It’s been half a year, and I don’t even know about it for so many miles! Those dead bald donkeys really can Tibetan!"

"That's right! I never thought that a group of monks would commit such inhumane evils and kill so many innocent people."

"Don't worry, my honored guest. I'll call my brothers now, and I'll take over the lair of those bald donkeys now!" The man stood up vigorously.

"No hurry. How can I let the brothers in the cottage fight with their lives? I have a plan, but I just need the brothers in the cottage to help."

"Oh? What's your plan? Just say what you want."

"It's like this. After I learned that they sent people to hunt down and kill the family members of those people, I rescued many of their family members with my friends. However, those people in Lushan Temple don't know the situation of their family members. So , I would like to ask the owner of the village to help me. I want to bring the family members of the saved people to Mushan. The owner of the village took the brothers in the village to pretend to rob and attack Lushan Temple. On the premise of not hurting the lives of the brothers as much as possible, Make trouble with him! I will take advantage of the chaos and bring out a few people from Lushan Temple, let them meet with their families, and then send them back quietly. The village master led his brothers and hurried back."

"As long as a few of them know the situation of their family members, they will soon let others know. At that time, they will definitely rise up and resist. I will notify the government forces, and attack from inside and outside, and those evil monks will definitely be exposed."

"This..." The man hesitated.

"Of course, this matter may harm the brothers, and I will naturally not force others to make things difficult. If the village master is in trouble, I should think of another plan." Chu Xuanzhao understands that although doing so can break the seal of Lushan Temple, But for Mushan cottage, there is no small danger.

"No, no, you misunderstood. What you said is very good. Mushan Village is also willing to fight for the brothers of Lushan Temple, but, you just said that it depends on the government... Can the government believe it? We The brothers were framed by the government to become like this, the government will only protect their people."

Was worried about this.

"Don't worry, the village master. The official I asked for help is older than Zhizhou. Moreover, I have saved his life before. It can be regarded as some kind of friendship. He is willing to handle this matter for me."

"...Okay then, it's settled!"

"Okay. Thank you Village Master for your help. Then I will go back now and send the saved people to Mushan Village first. Then I will rely on the Village Master a lot."

"Okay! Don't worry. There is no shortage of food and drink here, and there are many houses. Even hundreds of people can live there!"

"Thank you, Village Master Gao Yi!"

…………

"Mo Yi."

"My lord."

"Go and tell the guards of Team Mo at Lushan Temple to cheer them up for the next two days. As soon as the Mushan bandits attack Lushan Temple, they will arrest a few monks who have no novice vows on their heads and send them directly to Mushan Village."

"Yes."

…………

After Chu Xuanzhao returned to the Bodhisattva Temple, he guessed that the magistrate would arrive at Zhoucheng tomorrow, so he decided to stay in the Bodhisattva Temple for another night and go to Mushan together the next day.

Early the next morning, Chu Xuanzhao ordered Mo Nianba and the others to briefly explain the reason, and then slowly rushed towards Mushan.

After noon, everyone arrived at Mushan Village.

The owner of Mushan village had prepared to arrange the residence of nearly a hundred people, and it didn't take long for the people to be resettled.

"When do we start?"

The owner of Mushanzhai was a little eager to fight.

"Wait, it's coming soon."

Chu Xuanzhao has already sent someone to investigate the magistrate's itinerary, as long as he is about to reach the state city, not far from the state city, it can almost start.

…………

"Report to the prince, the magistrate has arrived outside the city."

"it is good."

"Master, shall we begin?"

"Okay!" The village master Mushan turned to face the brothers who had already gathered here with knives and sticks, "Brothers, follow me!"

"Yes! Boss!"

…………

Team Mo's personal guards guarding outside the Lushan Temple soon saw the Mushan bandits moving over in a crowd, and immediately went to arrest them as soon as they were in a mess.

"Brothers, give it to me!"

The Mushan bandits rushed towards Lushan Temple with their weapons in hand, and the people in the temple also came out quickly, and the two sides quickly became chaotic.

The black shadow in the treetops flashed away, but it did not attract the attention of the people in the battle.

…………

Chu Xuanzhao, who was waiting at Mushan, soon saw several monks captured by Team Mo's guards, their hands and feet were bound, their mouths were gagged, and their eyes were terrified.

"Put them down."

Several people were quickly put down.

"I'm not malicious, let's make a long story short, the thing is like this..."

The monk's eyes were frightened at the beginning, and then he listened carefully, and finally his eyes were broken.

After Chu Xuanzhao finished speaking, he took them to meet the saved people.Among them, three monks found their family members and heard what their family members said about being hunted down. Even though they might not believe it at first, they now have to believe it.

Ten personal guards brought ten monks, and three met their family members.

The family members of the other seven people are, I am afraid, dead.

The monk told Chu Xuanzhao that he was arrested by the county magistrate at that time, sentenced to death, and had no way to redress his injustice.Later, he was imprisoned by Zhizhou.I thought there was no hope of survival.

As a result, a few monks came here at this time, saying that the Buddha saved the people with predestined relationship, that the Buddha felt their suffering and wanted to rescue them.The monks took them to Lushan Temple and asked them to shave their heads and become monks.At that time, many people were unwilling. After all, many of them had families and relatives. How could they become monks?

At this time, the monk said that instead of letting them become monks, they just shave their heads and become fake monks.Not to mention their family members, even they themselves will become high officials, as long as they listen to them.

The monks also said that as long as they stayed in the monastery and pretended to be monks, they would take care of their families.Some people refused to believe what they said. As a result, the next day, these people disappeared. The monks said that the Buddha was punishing them for questioning the Buddha.

In this way, they stayed in Lushan Temple, but they did not eat fast and chant Buddha like the monks they saw in the past, but practiced every day, just like those officials who served as soldiers, with knives and spears every night. Can only sleep very little time.

There were also people who wanted to escape, but like those who didn't believe the monk's words, they disappeared inexplicably the next day.

The common people thought of their "capital crimes", their families, and the fear of the "Buddha punishment", so they had to stay and continue to practice hard day and night.

Chu Xuanzhao was not surprised when he heard the words of several people.

This is almost the same as what the two people found and speculated before.

Now that several people suddenly knew the truth of the matter, they were all furious.He also assured Chu Xuanzhao that he would immediately tell the others when he returned, that even if he was desperate, he would kill those monks and escape from Lushan Temple with everyone.

Chu Xuanzhao gathered the two groups of Team Mo's personal guards together.

"You follow my king's order. You all go to Lushan Temple and keep a close eye on the exits of Lushan Temple. If there is any change in Lushan Temple, watch carefully. As long as monks with novice rings escape from their heads, no one will be spared."

"Yes!"

Chu Xuanzhao quickly ordered Team Mo's personal guards to send these people back to Lushan Temple.And ordered Mo Yi to inform Brother Mushan to withdraw.

…………

That night, the guards who followed the magistrate's itinerary came back to report to Chu Xuanzhao, saying that the magistrate had settled down in Zhoucheng.

"You go and tell the magistrate that there are people in Lushan Temple who want to harm the king and the court, and tell him that this is a good opportunity for him to make meritorious deeds." Chu Xuanzhao rubbed his forehead, Lushan Temple is coming to an end.

…………

Early the next morning, the news of the chaos in Lushan Temple came as expected.

The prefect's men and horses also rushed to Lushan Temple quickly and surrounded Lushan Temple.

very quickly,

Lushan Temple was broken.

…………

"My lord."

Team Mo's personal guards all returned to Chu Xuanzhao's place after Lushan Temple.

"how?"

"Reporting to the lord, the subordinate obeyed the lord's order and guarded all the exits. Indeed, many monks were caught, but one monk was very skilled. He slipped away while his subordinate was fighting with other people." Mo Shiliu was a little ashamed. , did not dare to look up at Chu Xuanzhao.

"Oh? He was the only one who escaped?"

"Yes." Mo Shiliu replied, "According to what my subordinates heard during the fight, it can be judged that the monk who escaped was the biggest ringleader of the Lushan Temple incident. hurt."

"If you fail to catch such an important person, your subordinates deserve death!"

"It's okay. You guys did your best."

Chu Xuanzhao looked into the distance, slightly lost in thought.

Lushan Temple has already had results. Some of the people joined Mushan, some planned to go home, and some informed the magistrate that they planned to join the army.

These were not within the scope of Chu Xuanzhao's concern. He quickly said goodbye to Mu Shanzhai, and returned to the Bodhisattva Temple with a group of subordinates.
