Chapter 147 Whisper of the Avenue
Intelligence is not an ignorant person. He knows his monster classmates.
In terms of study, he can beat those idiots who can't even calculate a gear. But when it comes to fighting, he is a complete weakling.
Back then, he was young and frivolous, and looked down on these monster classmates. Later, a golden eagle took him and flew all over Wushan in an hour. At an altitude of thousands of meters, as long as his classmate let go, he would be a meat paste!
The thumping heartbeat seemed to jump out of his throat.
Since then, he knew that it was better to be honest when encountering those irresistible factors.
"What's your name? Monk." Tang Yin flipped through the book "Namo Mechanical Transmission Buddha's Sayings" again.
"I am a monk named Zhineng. I wonder what the great immortal should call me."
"What a good name. My name is Tang Yin. I went around the temple and learned that you and the abbot are the masters of Qi Fo Temple. Is that right?"
"That's right."
"I have visited the abbot. Although he is worse than a straw bag, he is a mediocre person and is far less intelligent than you. This steam wooden fish is naturally made by you!" The rotation of the magnetic field can allow Tang Yin to easily detect the thoughts and ideas of ordinary people, which can be called mind reading.
Tang Yin usually never opens it because he thinks it is disrespectful and impolite to others. He is naturally not like a hypocrite who can enter a woman's dream at night just because the ghost can enter the dream. It is really disgusting!
But today he is looking for trouble, so there is naturally no politeness. He soon understands the situation of the entire temple clearly.
"My humble work actually caught the great immortal's eye!" Zhineng pretended to be surprised, but he was thinking MMP in his heart. What kind of steam wooden fish is he using!
"Your idea is very good, ahead of the times!" Tang Yin looked at the book "Namo Mechanical Transmission Buddha's Sayings", which was well-written, at least the mechanical transmission was explained very clearly.
"Great Immortal, you are too kind!" Zhineng was a little scared. This person is floating in the world, he is not afraid of being scolded, but he is afraid of being praised. If someone praises you, he must have a purpose, and it is very likely that he will sell yours.
"Just one steam wooden fish costs the boatman three years of income. You must have saved a lot of money over the years, right?" Tang Yin said.
Hearing that Tang Yin came for money, Zhineng felt relieved, it's easy to say for money.
"The money is in the basement of the warehouse, and it has all melted into gold and silver. The great immortal has boundless magical powers, please feel free to take it."
"I mean, you must have a lot of money over the years."
"Not much, just a thousand taels of gold and twenty thousand taels of silver."
"I heard that every year on the first day of the lunar year, the first person to come to burn incense is a few hundred taels of gold. How come there is only so little?"
"That's all for others to see. Every year, the dignitaries in Luoyang send gold during the day, and we have to secretly send it back at night. Not only do we send it back, we also have to present a gift." Zhineng explained: "If it weren't for this, where would the reputation of Qifo Temple come from."
"And then split it 70%?" Tang Yin asked.
"Oh, you are an expert, great immortal. This first-class incense should be given to the most powerful local family, the Zhu family. Then the other Liu family, Wang family, Zhao family, etc. The money of the powerful will be returned in full, and the rest will be divided into 30% and 70%. 30% and 70% is not possible this year, it has become 20% and 80%."
"Wouldn't that make us beggars on our knees?"
"Aren't we monks beggars? How can we fight against those powerful people who have been around for hundreds of years? Give us face and call us masters. If you don't give us face, bandits will come to our door at night, occupy our temples, and pretend to be our Dharma names!" Zhineng told the truth and deliberately said it in a miserable way.
Temples don't have to pay taxes, and they are free to have tenants to rely on the land. They can also lend the incense money to collect usury and buy land at low prices and sell at high prices. They are not landlords, but better than landlords.
In the circle of landlords, small landlords have to listen to big landlords, and big landlords have to listen to powerful people. If you don't listen, you will naturally know the cruelty of feudal society.
The county magistrate who exterminated the whole family and the prefect who confiscated the property, those are all facts, not exaggerations.
Some big temples have military power and backers, and have been passed down for hundreds of years, so they are naturally on par with the local landlords and tyrants. And new temples or small temples like Qifo Temple, just as Zhineng said, act as white gloves and money bags for the powerful.
It's just that Zhineng didn't tell the truth. He is not without backers and background. Wushan is his background. Otherwise, how could he run such a big temple in ten years and live peacefully for another ten years.
"In this world, all the good things are in the hands of those powerful people, and the means of production are also in the hands of the powerful people!"
"The great immortal has a keen eye!" Zhineng quickly flattered him, just asking this unknown person to leave quickly.
"I really want to kill the Zhu family, Liu family, Wang family, Zhao family and so on. But I know that without them, there will be Sun family, Qian family, Zhao family and so on. It's hard to kill them all." Tang Yu shook his head and said, holding "Namo Mechanical Transmission Buddha's Sayings".
It's good that you know, why don't you leave! Zhineng smiled on the surface, and shouted wildly in his heart.
"Without them, it is very important for this world. But I don't have much time, I can't plow the world in person, kill all the powerful and nobles, and flatten the demons. So..." Tang Yu said, looking at Zhineng.
What are you looking at me for! I don't have this ability.
"So, I need your help."
"How can a little monk have such ability." Zhineng hurriedly declined. He was so weak that he couldn't do anything about rebellion. Besides, it was monks and Taoists who tricked others into rebellion, how could they trick monks and Taoists into rebellion.
"Intelligence, have you ever understood the Great Dao?"
"The Great Dao? I have been devoted to vegetarianism and chanting Buddha's name, and I have never understood the Great Dao." Intelligent shook his head and said, he had a bad feeling.
"Feel... the whisper of the Great Dao!" Tang Yin grabbed Intelligent's head and used the "claw of wisdom", which was the long-lost "Four Transformations of Rebirth·Invincible Soul".
Tang Yin did not transmit any thoughts to him, but the technology and thinking of the industrial revolution, as well as the restrictions on productivity by the backward landlord class!
"Ahhh~" A huge amount of knowledge poured into Intelligent's brain, making him wail in pain.
After a long time, Intelligent sorted out the things that suddenly appeared in his mind.
"The Great Dao is right in front of me! The future is right in front of me!" Intelligent saw mechanical power, the electrical age, the electronic age, and the cyber age!
He was so excited that he shed tears. As a smart person in this era, he never thought that the future of this mechanical road would be so exciting, and now there are many ants and insects restricting the development of the times.
After seeing a civilized road, how can I be at ease as a frog in the well?
"Praise the Buddha of mathematics, the root of all things! Praise the Buddha of physics, the root of all things! Praise the Buddha of infinite chemistry! Praise the Buddha of infinite biology! Praise the Buddha of astronomical light! Praise the Buddha of wisdom and logic! Praise the Gatling Bodhisattva!"
"The wheels roll towards the road, how ridiculous the little bugs are! The sky tilts and the killing star appears, but the cyber-Buddhism is true!"
"I, the little monk, have realized it."
Cut teeth! Come and listen to the voice of the crazy man. (Today, I swallowed a chapter, I am very sorry, I will add another chapter.)
