C298 The Flower Monk's Experience

Most people rarely choose to be monks, and at present, there were only two types of monks. The first was to see through the world of mortals. This kind of person must have experienced a great deal of sadness and depression. They would lose faith in life and would lose all meaning for life. That was why they chose to leave their homes.    

    

The last kind of people go out because of money. Perhaps some people would find it laughable. Where did monks get their money from? In fact, since ancient times, monks had always been rich. This was not made out of nothing, not out of thin air. There was a basis for it.    

    

For example, during the Tang Dynasty, the monks had their own fields, and each monk had his own salary. Many rich and powerful people would often give away incense and gold, so the temples in the Tang Dynasty were extremely rich.    

    

Other than the Tang Dynasty, there was also the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, monks not only had good land, but also didn't have to pay taxes, which led many people to want to go out of their homes. Later on, the government made a rule that a monk had to go through multiple levels of approval. After the approval is granted, a disc will be issued, which is the equivalent of a license or identity card. However, this disc requires money.    

    

He remembered a case in the Ming Dynasty, which had a great influence at that time. During the Wanli Emperor's time, the Chief Assistant Zhang Ju was in the process of reforming his government, and he had to pay taxes regardless of whether he was an official or a civilian. At that time, there was a temple that had thousands of acres of fertile land. Due to the system of the Ming Dynasty, the monks did not have to pay taxes, so no one checked this temple.    

    

In the eyes of most people, the temple was a relatively poor place, without much oil and water. Later on, when Zhang Juzheng came to this temple, he found out that Master Fangzheng's monastic robe costed two hundred taels of silver, and that it had to be changed in two years.    

    

Back then, in the Ten Thousand Calendar Era, Zhang Juzheng had just undergone a change. Even a second rank official would not receive that much a year. Because at that time, the economic depression was in the ascendant, and the people were in the throes of misery.    

    

Later on, this matter was brought to the attention of the Empress Dowager. She sent someone to investigate it and concluded that the temple was worth more than ten thousand silver taels a year. They rented the temple land to the poor peasants for rent, and the incense, and the money from the royal family, and the meritorious money of the military officials, so the temple was very rich.    

    

"Master, may I ask why you cut your hair and became a monk?" Wang Xiao asked curiously.    

    

Then, from the monk's story, Wang Xiao found out something.    

    

It turned out that ten years ago, the other party was not a monk. Instead, he was a travelling adventurer. Once, in a city, many noble families were robbed and suffered heavy losses.    

    

Someone learned of his reputation and ability and asked him to come and help. At that time, he was full of vigor and heroic spirit, so he readily agreed.    

    

A few days later, he finally met the Thief and the two of them started fighting with each other. Due to his mistake at that time, the next time would have been too heavy. As such, he had seriously injured the other party and drowned out their entire clan.    

    

Before he died, the person told him something. It was said that his bank card had millions of dollars in it. The person told him the password and asked the monk to withdraw all the money. Of course, he wasn't a monk then.    

    

The monk learned that the man had been robbed because of a flood back at his hometown. Countless people had been displaced. The affected masses had not eaten, drank or had anything to do with it.    

    

Although the higher ups had allocated the funds, the people below had layers upon layers of deceit, filling their private pockets and causing countless people to starve to death, freeze to death, and become infected, resulting in their deaths. The underworld bullies the dead, who are drowned by the flood or crushed to death by a landslide.    

    

He could only watch as thousands of people suffered. Many people were starving, and countless women and children were on the brink of life and death. So the man's heart ached, and he had to use this method to get money, hoping to help those who had suffered. This was because they had thought of encountering an expert like Monk Monk and had unfortunately died a violent death.    

    

The monk was filled with remorse and anguish when he learned the truth. After receiving the money, he rushed to the affected area and discovered that there were thousands of victims there. Countless people were struggling, struggling with their lives.    

    

So many people were starving, but those damned corrupt officials were actually deducting large amounts of money, drinking large bowls of wine and eating large chunks of meat.    

    

At that moment, the monk was deeply repentant for his actions. He could not forgive himself for his actions. In his righteous life, he had actually killed a good person wrongly. He felt that the world was truly dark and unfair.    

    

In one night, he killed all the corrupt officials and took out all the money and materials. However, although those people were hateful, they didn't commit the crime of suicide.    

    

Every time he thought of the good person he killed wrongly, the monk would feel extremely guilty. Thus, he decided to leave home, no longer doing chivalry and righteousness, and escaped into the void to read sutras to the good person he killed wrongly.    

    

Over the years, he had often paid attention to that person's hometown. Every year, all the money he made would be given to the villagers in his hometown. He would build a bridge for the villagers, a school, let their children go to school, and support the family that he mistakenly killed.    

    

After listening to the monk's story, Wang Xiao could feel his current mood. If this had happened to him, Wang Xiao would also be unable to forgive himself. In fact, in this world, it was hard to distinguish between good and bad. Some bad people will do good, some good people will do bad things.    

    

It was precisely because of this that Wang Xiao wanted to establish his own sect, and did not care about too many things. Some people may have committed heinous crimes, but they may not be traitorous or evil people, and were only forced to do so.    

    

Wang Xiao had once encountered such a thing. When he was overseas, he remembered a man who attacked a supermarket, causing countless deaths. Later, this foreign man was wanted by the local police and was rewarded with several million yuan.    

    

hated this kind of people the most, and harmed so many innocent people. Coincidentally, one day, he met this person, so he controlled his people, and originally wanted to hand him over to the local police.    

    

It turned out that this man was forced to do this because his family killed a local organization. However, that organization had all sorts of connections, and not only was he unable to claim his wrongs, he was also chased by a lot of people. Not only was he unable to seek protection, he was also blacklisted.    

    

In his despair, this man definitely wanted revenge. Even though his actions were extremely excessive, because even if he had grievances, he should not vent them on the innocent. However, he had still been driven mad.    

    

Some bad people were forced out. When humans were born, they were naturally kind-hearted, but actually, they weren't born to be bad people. They were only oppressed by all sorts of influences, so they embarked on a path of no return.    

    

After the monk told Wang Xiao about this matter, he lightly tapped the wooden fish and started chanting.    

    

"That matter might not be your fault, and you did not mean to do it. So many years have passed, and you have always been living a life of repentance, and even trying your best to do good deeds and do good deeds, but you have already made up for it, so don't keep it in your heart. " Wang Xiao said.    

    

"Benefactor, if there's nothing else, please leave." The monk said.    

    

Wang Xiao originally wanted to continue to console this monk, but he didn't know what to say. "Goodbye."    

    

After clasping his hands at the monk, Wang Xiao turned and left. Only he could untie the knots in the monk's heart. Time was the best medicine, because time could dilute everything. No matter how big the worry or how much pain it was in his heart, it would slowly disappear with the passage of time.    

    

Just as Wang Xiao was about to leave, the monk then said: "Benefactor, I hope that you can step onto the right path and make good use of your abilities. Don't let down this ability, your killing intent is strong, and heaven has good fortune, even towards your enemies, I hope you can give them a way out. The most powerful energy is not because of how powerful you are, but is because of how you affect others. "    

    

"What is the path of the righteous path?" Wang Xiao turned and asked.    

    

In this world, there was simply no distinction between good and evil. It was very difficult to distinguish between the right and evil. Some people who represented justice would commit heinous acts. In their eyes, there were only benefits, only money, and the identity of justice. It was just the best tool they could use to conceal their actions.    

    

However, there were some evil people. Although they were not the incarnations of justice, their conscience was still better than the representatives of justice.    

    

"Benefactor, actually, what is true and what is evil does not lie in people, but in the heart. As long as you have good intentions in your heart, you will understand one day in the future."    

    

"Thank you for your guidance, master. I will remember this in my heart." Wang Xiao said.    

    

"If you get tired of the world in the future, I will always welcome you here and give you a seat." The monk said.    

    

To think that this monk wanted him to become a monk, that was wishful thinking. How could he possibly want him to become a monk? With so many beauties by his side, would Wang Xiao be willing to part with them?    

    

He would not be so foolish. He would not see through the mortal world and escape into nothingness. This kind of life was boring and it was simply worse than death.    

    

"A beauty with rosy skin is nothing but a skeleton, rich and powerful. In the future, you won't be able to bring her away. She will be empty, empty, and empty. In the end, she will just be a pile of dirt. Sadly, people won't be able to see through her …"    

    

With regards to the Monk's words, Wang Xiao did not want to hear them, nor did he want to hear them. Although what he said was reasonable, life was only a hundred years old. If one could not eat, drink, and enjoy, as well as enjoy the heavenly pleasures of the human world, then coming to this world was truly a waste.    

    

Maybe he was too stubborn, or maybe he couldn't see through it, but Wang Xiao would rather not see through it, than to live a life where beauties were as common as the clouds.    

    

Wang Xiao left the temple, he did not want to hear any buddhist teachings from the monk, because he was destined to not be a buddha. This kind of life was not suitable for Wang Xiao. He yearned for an earth-shattering life. Everyone's goal was different, and he couldn't force himself to do it.    

    

After leaving, Wang Xiao quickly headed down the mountain. What happened just now caused his opinion of the monk to change. Actually, this monk was not as greedy as he thought. It turned out that this monk had actually experienced those things in his life.    

    

Just as Wang Xiao was walking down the mountain, his phone rang. Could it be that Di Loong was calling them? Could it be that they were in danger, hence they called them for help? Although Divine Monarch Sect was in a dangerous situation right now, since Yin Tianzheng gave them five days of time, he would not make a move earlier.    

    

This was because an expert of Yin Tianzheng's level was proud and arrogant, and extremely confident in his own strength. He had absolute confidence in being able to kill him, so he had to do it earlier than necessary. If he wanted to do it earlier, he would have already done it when Yin Tianzheng appeared in the courtyard.    

    

However, he couldn't rule out the possibility that the other side would regret it, so he decided to make a move in advance. If this was really the case, then the members of the Divine Monarch Sect were not Yin Tianzheng's match at all, and even Di Loong was not Yin Tianzheng's match. Wang Xiao immediately took out his cell phone, and if Yin Tianzheng truly took action, he would appear within the Divine Monarch Sect with his fastest speed.
