Great Wei Nengchen

The great monks discussed for a night, and finally decided to borrow 12 taels of gold from Dayuan Bank, which had the lowest interest rate, to pay off the debts for buying glazed Buddha statues and leasing relics.

When Tianyi Temple was in its heyday, it used to let loan sharks go, and made huge profits from it, and forced many lives. I didn't expect a karmic cycle. This time it was my turn. The feeling is really indescribable!

Early the next morning, Monk Shenguang personally went to Dayuan Bank to borrow a loan. Unexpectedly, it went smoothly, and the matter was settled in a few words. The loan was 12 taels of gold, with an interest of [-]% and a ten-day period. Signed and issued on the spot bank note...

After the matter was completed, Monk Shenguang thanked him a lot, and inquired round and round, who is the owner of the bank, who has such strong financial resources, if he can get acquainted, Tianyi Temple will help him a lot?

I didn't expect that the population of the bank is very tight. I only said that the owner has a strong background, and I didn't say much about the rest. After that, I will serve tea to see off the guests and let the monks not forget to pay back the money on schedule!

In any case, he finally got the money, and the monk Shenguang went to the Wushou Bank again to settle the debt including principal and interest, and pay it off in one go, and vowed secretly that he would never enter the gate of the Wushou Bank in his life. Yes, this is a vampire!

"Buddha bless you, the debt is finally repaid, and Tianyi Temple is saved!"

"Everyone cheer up and work together, the temple will surely turn the crisis into safety and flourish again!"

The news was sent back to Tianyi Temple, and the monks recited Amitabha Buddha together, finally overcame the difficulty, and then used the remaining money to buy various practical things, preparing to erect Buddha statues and reshape the golden body!

As the saying goes: If you keep the green hills, you don’t have to worry about no firewood. As long as Tianyi Temple is preserved, the incense money will flow in, the borrowed gold will be repaid slowly, and the temple properties, shops, and land can be recovered!

It's okay for the Dayuan Bank to collect the debt. You can beg, delay, or simply refuse to pay the debt. No matter how powerful they are, can they still make a second Wu pledge?

In this way, the monks were happy for ten days, and then found an auspicious day, and reopened the temple gate to welcome visitors. Unexpectedly, the first person to enter the gate was an old acquaintance... Wu Zhi!

..............................

"Haha, I haven't seen you for more than ten days. How are the masters? It's a sin for the subordinate officials to come here to disturb you again!"

"Amitabha, the loan from the Wushou Bank has been repaid with the principal and interest by the monastery. I don't know what's the matter, my lord?"

Wu Zhi brought people to the door again, this time not only with crowbars, ropes, and scrapers, but also with carpenters, blacksmiths, and masons. When they came in, they took measurements everywhere, as if to tear down the temple.

Monk Shenguang sweated profusely, and hurriedly took out a receipt with the red seal of Wushou Bank on it, and the debt was paid back without missing a penny. Why did the debt collector come to the door again?

"Haha, Guibao Temple is indeed rich in financial resources. The loan of 10,000+ taels of gold was easily repaid. I am so impressed by the officials. But the debt of Wushou Bank has been repaid, and the debt of Dayuan Bank?"

"Amitabha, what does my lord have to do with the debt owed by the monastery to the Dayuan Bank?"

"Haha, master, what is this thing?"

Wu Zhi sneered a few times, and took out a loan contract. It was Tianyi Temple who borrowed 12 taels of gold from Dayuan Bank, with [-]% interest, and the contract was repaid in ten days, as well as Shenguang's own painting pledge!

Tianyi Temple's borrowing of usury is an act of drinking poison to quench thirst. I wanted to get through this hurdle, but I didn't expect that someone would come to collect debts, and it was Wu Zhi who came to "the sky is three feet high". What is the relationship between the two?

"It's okay to tell the master, the owner of the Dayuan Bank is my Mrs. Sima, so I sent an official to collect the debt!"

Monk Shenguang: ...

"It's only natural to pay off debts - demolish temples!

Chapter 1407 Rolling interest, turning over the account

There are [-] levels of hell in the Underworld, one of which is the "Volcano Hell". All those who are rich and unkind, greedy for money, as well as monks and Taoists who violated the precepts, will be driven into the volcano and burned alive, and will suffer forever from the flames!

For more than a month, Monk Shenguang has been living in the volcanic hell, constantly borrowing, repaying, and being forced to pay debts every day...repeatedly and endlessly, so that he can't eat, is haunted by nightmares every night, and loses weight a lot of!

With a weight of more than 180 kilograms, less than half of it is left. His eyes are deep-set and dull, like a skeleton, walking around the world in cassocks. Monk Shenguang figured out something...

The owner of Dayuan Bank is Cao Jie, the wife of the Marquis of Wuchou!

The owner of the Erci Bank is the second wife - Cai Wenji!

The owner of Sanjiang Qianzhuang is the third wife - Zhen Mi!

………………

But knowing so what, from the first loan, I fell into the trap, and it is impossible to stop, I can only keep borrowing new debts and repaying old debts... The interest rate is compounded, the debt is repaid, and now The total debt in arrears has reached as high as 27 taels of gold.

While the debt piled up, the number of monks continued to decrease. Seeing that the disaster was imminent, no one wanted to be buried with them. The young monks at the bottom ran away first, and then the deputy temple, Zhike, governor temple, and prison temple... These high-level monks were looking for their own way of life went.

Just last night, the four hall masters who claimed to be utterly loyal and vowed to live and die with the temple also slipped away with their burdens in their hands. At the peak of Tianyi Temple, there were more than [-] monks, and only monk Shenguang was left!

Even so, Wu Zhi still did not let him go, and brought people to the door several times to collect debts, demolish houses, tiles, walls...all were transported away and paid off. The original huge Tianyi Temple, only a small courtyard, Three thatched huts!

This was originally hosted by the previous generation, and Master Yixiu retreated in his later years. The three sisters Xiao Yi, Xiao Jing, and the Cao family once visited, and there was a feeling of incense, so they were not demolished, but became a refuge for the monk Shenguang, which is really ironic Woolen cloth!

"The disciple made a mistake. He shouldn't have disobeyed the master's will and usurped the position of host, and he shouldn't have turned against his fellow disciples, causing everyone to betray their relatives!"

"The disciple made a mistake. He shouldn't be blindfolded by fame and wealth, so that he made mistakes again and again, and brought the temple into a place of eternal doom!"

"And the disciple's biggest mistake is that he shouldn't offend Xiao Yi, shouldn't meet Xiao Yi, shouldn't live in the same world with Xiao Yi... Woohoo!"

In the middle of the night, in the thatched hut, the monk Shenguang knelt in front of the priest's altar, kowtowed to plead guilty, wept loudly, and made a deep reflection on his past actions, but it was too late!

I remember what the master said: Xiao Yilang, Gu Xikuangzhi, is a person who never forgets his kindness and revenges every revenge. He also has the means to turn the world around and slaughter the hearts of the world. Don't offend him in the future!

I also warned myself: practice with peace of mind, promote Buddhism, don't meddle in worldly affairs, let alone national affairs, so as not to cause trouble to the upper body!

But I fell on deaf ears, thinking that the Buddha is far higher than the emperor, so I befriended the powerful, amassed money, and acted even more recklessly. I offended Xiao Yi on Zhuque Street, and refused to put down my body to admit my mistake, and finally caused a catastrophe!

"Ding! Ding!--It's all you who harmed Tianyi Temple, I'll swallow this curse alive--haha!"

…………

A big mistake has been made, and it is too late to regret it. Instead of just living on it, it is better to end it on your own, at least you still have some backbone. The monk Shenguang held an iron rod, smashed several glazed Buddha statues, and swallowed the relics into his stomach. Finally lit the thatched cottage...

His body was burned by fire, and his soul went to the underworld. However, the great hatred cannot be forgotten. The monk Shenguang, who had fallen into madness, issued a vicious curse at the last moment of his life:

"Xiao Yi, you have used despicable means to destroy my Tianyi Temple. Even if I turn into a ghost, I will curse you to die a bad death and burn your bones to ashes...

No, you are the reincarnation of the Greedy Wolf Star King, even if you have been slaughtered for thousands of miles, you will not be stained with karma, then I will curse you for the rest of your life and be a servant forever... Haha! "

From Monk Shenguang's point of view, Xiao Yi was ambitious and interested in the world, and he cursed him to be a minister forever, unable to realize his dream of being an emperor in his life, so that even though he was alive, he suffered more than death, and he felt angry.

"Ah Choo! --Come here, bring a cup of hot tea, the spring night is still slightly chilly!"

In the middle of the night, in the study, Xiao Yi sneezed several times, quickly put on some clothes, drank a few mouthfuls of hot tea, and continued to read "Historical Records-Zhou Benji" by candlelight at night: "The king of Zhou Wen has two thirds of the world, especially The servants served Yin and Shang in uniform, and the world called it a holy virtue...'

……………………………………………………………

Monk Shenguang set himself on fire, and Tianyin Temple completely collapsed. This is just the tip of the iceberg. In the past month or so, all the temples in Xuchang City have been visited by Wu Zhi to collect debts. Running away...

Xuchang is another corner of the world. Under the secret envoys of Cao Cao and Xiao Yi, Luoyang, Chang'an, Yecheng, Shouchun...all launched activities to exterminate Buddhism, demolished more than 200 temples, forced tens of thousands of monks and nuns to return to lay life, and confiscated temple properties Countless, viciously expanding Buddhist forces have been hit hard!

As the saying goes, a little chicken needs to flap its wings a few times before being slaughtered, let alone a Buddhist sect with a deep foundation. , led thousands of bald-headed monks, and approached Wuchouhou's mansion aggressively...

"Please Da Sima show mercy and spare all my Buddhist disciples, the great kindness and great virtue will never be forgotten!"

"If Da Sima refuses to forgive, I will burn myself here today, and I will have no way out anyway!"
