Ignoring the two monks at the entrance of the temple, Liu Cong walked straight into the temple. Several abbots wearing cassocks led a group of monks to meditate here. They kept chanting Buddhist scriptures, and no one got up to pay attention to Liu Cong and his entourage. people!
"Hello!"
Xing Daorong stepped forward and shouted, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear the king come in?"
No one paid attention to Xing Daorong's words. It was not until the recitation of the Buddhist sutra was finished that one of the abbots got up and walked towards them, "Amitabha, I have seen the donor."
Liu Cong sneered and said, "Who are you?"
The monk looks to be in his forties, with a shiny bald head. Zeng said, "The poor monk Huijing, the abbot of this temple."
"Huijing?" Liu Cong suddenly remembered, wasn't Mrs. Kou's behavior just because of Huijing?

"I heard that you can tell fortunes and tell fortunes?"
Huijing was not modest, but asked, "I wonder what the donor is?"
Liu Cong looked at the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha and said, "Calculate, in this world and in the Chu Kingdom, who is the bigger Gu Gu or Sakyamuni Buddha?"
Huijing smiled lightly and said, "Donor, the achievements of Sakyamuni Buddha are not comparable to those of the donor. The donor is naturally not as great as the Buddha."
Liu Cong sneered, "Then do you think I should bow to him?"
"nature!"
At this moment, Liu Cong understood why Sun Ce wanted to kill Yu Ji and why Cao Cao wanted to kill Zuo Ci.
These bastards are bluffing and deceiving the people day by day, and instead of doing business, they just spread their false teachings.
Arrogant! Really arrogant!
None of the monks in Ganlu Temple looked squarely at him, the King of Chu. Not only were the monks not subject to state control, they also had their own beliefs. They even believed that Sakyamuni Buddha was greater than themselves, the king!

It had only been two hundred years since Buddhism was introduced to China, and the imperial power had not noticed the existence of such a lawless place. Buddhism in this period did not have any entanglement with the imperial power.
But it is precisely because of this that Buddhism is so unscrupulous. Not only Buddhism, but also Taoism. Zhang Lu's Five Pecks of Rice religion is a good example.
Liu Cong took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and continued, "Then you think about it again, is it appropriate for me to be the King of Chu?"
Huijing continued to answer, "Although the donor was cruel and killed many people, he was very kind to the people. The poor monk thought that the donor should repent before my Buddha, pray for the innocent souls who died, and wash away the sins on his body."
"Be bold!"
"Qiang!"
Xu Feng directly took out the sword from his waist, grabbed Huijing and walked outside.
"Shanrong!"
"Your Majesty!"
Liu Cong smiled faintly, "Don't dirty your sword, just heat a pot of hot oil and see if his Buddha will come to save him!"

Xu Feng stared at Huijing and smiled very hotly, "I will obey your orders!"
"Let go abbot!"
"Let Master Huijing go!"
All the monks who were sitting on the ground just now stood up!
"Crossbowman!"
Huang Zhong waved his arms and ordered.
The crossbowmen and Liu Cong's personal guards immediately stepped forward to protect Liu Cong and others.
Liu Cong sneered and said, "What a Ganlu Temple, what a Sakyamuni Buddha, what a Buddhism!"
"stop!"
Just when Liu Cong was about to give the order, an old scolding sound came, and an old monk wearing a red cassock entered the hall.

"I've met the abbot."
"What do you all want to do? As a monk, how can you take action against others? You have all violated the precept of anger. You can go and receive the punishment yourself later!"
After reprimanding many monks, the old monk walked up to Liu Cong and knelt down and said, "I, the poor monk Zhizhen, pay my respects to the king."
Liu Cong sneered and said, "Master Zhizhen, your words are more effective than Gu's royal life?"
Zhizhen knelt on the ground and did not get up. Instead, he said in a Buddhist salute, "I am a poor monk traveling abroad. I don't expect the disciples in the temple to offend the king."
Liu Cong's frown slightly relaxed, "You are quite sensible. Are you the abbot of Ganlu Temple?"
"yes."
"Ganlu Temple behaves this way, and you, the abbot, have an unshirkable responsibility."
"The poor monk has long since stopped caring about the affairs of the temple. Ganlu Temple has been taken care of by a few of the poor monk's disciples."
Liu Cong chuckled and said, "You know how to shirk responsibility."

"Ah! Put me down! Put me down!"
"thump!"
A raging fire burned under the big cauldron outside the palace. Xu Feng did not wait for the oil in the cauldron to boil, and ordered his soldiers to throw Huijing in.
The soldiers on the shelf were holding spears. If Huijing tried to climb out, they would stab him with the spears.
Huijing finally got scared and kept shouting inside, but no matter how she screamed, she just refused to ask for mercy.
When Zhizhen, who was kneeling on the ground, saw this scene, he just put his hands together and said, "Amitabha."
Liu Cong was a little surprised, "Your Dharma name is Zhizhen, and his Dharma name is Huijing. He should be your disciple, right?"
"yes."
"Then you just watch him being killed alone?"
Zhizhen smiled bitterly and said, "Huijing acted smart and disobeyed the king. He should die to apologize."

"You are better at talking than your disciple. But from what you say, you seem to respect me more than your Buddha?"
"Since ancient times, there have only been emperors and kings who commanded the Buddha, but there has never been a Buddha who commanded the emperor and kings. Therefore, although the poor monk is a disciple of Buddhism, he also knows that the king comes first and then the Buddha."
Seeing the old monk's frank and unpretentious appearance, Liu Cong couldn't help but wonder, even if such an abbot was wandering around, Ganlu Temple wouldn't be like this, right?
Unless, unless a few abbots Huijing used Buddhism to imprison the thoughts of many monks, doing so would help them control Ganlu Temple.
Thinking of what happened to the Kou family before, Liu Cong became a little suspicious, "Shan Rong! Get that monk out to Gu, and ask him if you have anything to say!"
"promise!"
After a while, Huijing, who was already bloody and embarrassed, was fished out. Most of the wounds on his body were stabbed by the soldiers. The oil in the cauldron was not yet hot and did not burn him.
"Kneel down!"
The two soldiers kicked Huijing hard on the crook of her legs, causing Huijing to kneel down in pain.
Liu Cong stepped forward and said, "I want to ask you, have you ever arranged for an old lady named Kou to ask for a child before?"

Huijing closed her eyes and mouth tightly, unwilling to speak.
Liu Cong sneered and said, "Tongzhou, call a few guards in uniform to come over and give me a good interrogation!"
"promise!"
Soon, several members of the Jinyi Guards came over, held Huijing directly, and whipped him.
"Crack!"
"Pop!"
After dozens of whips, Huijing's body was bleeding profusely, and her cassocks and monk's clothes were torn. But she was unwilling to speak.
"Take off his boots!"
Duan Kun said while groping on his chest.
He took out a small porcelain bottle from his chest, squatted in front of Huijing, and poured a few leeches out of the small porcelain bottle.

"I'll give you one last chance to answer my king's question."
Huijing closed her eyes and didn't even look at him.
Duan Kun sneered, "Okay, how brave! I held his feet down!"
"Bang!"
"ah!…"
Duan Kun directly broke the porcelain bottle and used the fragments to poke two small bloody holes in the soles of Huijing's feet.
Then, he grabbed a leech that was crawling on the ground and placed it at the bleeding hole!
