Chapter 115: The Abbot is Angry
The abbot frowned and said:"Almsgiver, my temple never receives outsiders. Please forgive me."
Li Changsheng refused to give up and insisted on his own ideas:"Can I spend another ten silver coins to buy them to rest in the Buddhist temple for half an hour?"
The abbot became angry and glared at him, cursing, "You're a jerk! Are you here to cause trouble on purpose?"
Li Changsheng was inexplicably surprised and said, "Master Abbot, how can you curse? You have committed the wrath of a Buddhist!"
"What I'm cursing is you, a scoundrel from a foreign land!" The abbot jumped up from the dough. He sneered and said, "You guys are fugitives from Walnut Town. Do you think I don't know? I've already received a message from a flying pigeon in the county patrol room asking me to intercept you halfway. I didn't expect you to find this place yourself. It's great!"
Li Changsheng advised, "Master Abbot is a member of the Buddhist sect. You should have a compassionate heart and not assist the King in his tyranny. Even if you don't want to take us in, you shouldn't detain us, should you?"
The abbot sneered, "What good will it be for me to let you go?"
Li Changsheng patiently advised, "The money on all three of us belongs to you. You just pretend you haven't seen us come, how about that?"

The abbot smiled grimly and said, "I will tie you up and give you to Mr. Chen. Of course, all the money on you is mine. Mr. Chen will also give me another reward."
Li Changsheng also lost his patience and said, "I am a Taoist believer. Laozi said, 'We should be as kind as water and work hard for the benefit of all living beings.' I know that Buddhism also promotes the quality of kindness. So I am a bit curious, like you, who should be killed a thousand times and fried in oil. Are you not afraid of being punished by the Buddha when you stay in a temple?"
The Abbot Master clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha Buddha, as long as people live, they will suffer pain and disaster. Therefore, I have been in this temple for more than 20 years, striving to send people's souls to the Western Paradise where the Buddha resided. For this noble purpose, I have to destroy people's bodies."
"It is said that Buddhism can make people morally noble and have a kind and beautiful personality. It seems that you are a typical failure," Li Changsheng said with a smile. "I see that your cultivation is not easy, so I advise you to turn around and turn to shore in the endless sea of suffering."
Master Abbot thought to himself: The sea of suffering is boundless, and turning back is not the shore! Can I still turn back? Twenty years ago, I studied Kung Fu at Shaolin Temple. Because I couldn't tolerate the strict discipline of Shaolin Temple, I injured my master, killed several senior brothers, and then escaped from Shaolin Temple. I joined the gang and did countless acts of murder and robbery. I became one of the main leaders of the gang. I drank, ate meat, and played with women in the gang, and did everything prohibited by Buddhism. My reputation spread To the north and south of the Yangtze River, inside and outside the Great Wall. Government patrols and officials, hearing my name, are all afraid of it. Later, he kidnapped the Southern God of Wealth in Chang'an City. Overnight, the largest bandit gang in China, except for myself, all the elites in the gang were easily killed by Taoist Wuwei. After that night, I felt like my liver and gallbladder were scared out, so I became disheartened and sought refuge in this small temple deep in the deserted mountain. One morning, when I woke up and saw no one around, I couldn't help but take out a hammer and practice the 64 Shaolin authentic Weituo Hammer Technique. Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen's father, the head of the local security team, saw my kung fu when he passed by. From then on, Captain Chen will send me money and rice every month, allowing me to have meat, money, and wine in this temple. If the Chen family has someone who needs to be killed and it is not convenient for them to solve it themselves, they will notify me to handle it.
