”What happened to your temple?” Buddha asked in shock.
”An English gangster came in the night with a sharp knife and incense,” he said. ”He first killed two of our monks, then sneaked into the house and deceived everyone with incense and stole one of our treasures.”
The Longevity Buddha exclaimed, ”The foreign devils here are really acting so arrogantly?”
”Unless there are no foreign devils,” said the abbot, ”one can live a peaceful life. Our National Protecting Temple is not an ordinary place. Even foreign devils would dare to plot against us. How could their actions be arrogant? ”And he's so arrogant.”
The Buddha said, ”As long as the country does not reclaim its lost sovereignty, exorcise the foreign devils and reclaim its lost territory, we will never be at peace.” ”Fellow Daoist, you're absolutely right.” We suffer from the anger of foreign devils, and the root of our suffering is that our country has lost its sovereignty, and our laws cannot restrain the foreigners. ”
The Buddha said, ”If we do not overthrow Yuan Shikai's rule and restore the democratic republic, we cannot expel the foreign devils and it will be even harder to reclaim our sovereignty. All the people in the Northeast have seen through this point, and therefore supported Cai Songpo in his campaign against Yuan Shikai. People from all walks of life in the Northeast were talking about Yuan Shikai and his corrupt officials, saying that they were seeking personal gains, pursuing personal greatness and betraying national and national interests. To overthrow the rule of Yuan Shikai has become the aspiration of all. ”
”General Cai Songpo is organizing a massive uprising to overthrow Yuan Shikai,” said Rufeng. There is also a high chance of getting rid of the outsiders and regaining their lost sovereignty. ” When everyone heard this, they were immediately filled with confidence.
Everyone talked for a while longer before Buddha Longevity asked, ”Why hasn't my little disciple come to see me? Is he not in the temple? ”
Seeing that he was anxious to become a disciple, Fa Ming smiled and said, ”Don't worry, Fellow. ”Master Fang sent his disciple into the city. He'll be back soon.”
Buddha Longevity said, ”I was also just about to enter the city to visit Eldest Disciple Guo Chengliang. I've been worried ever since he came to Beijing. When Yuan Shikai asked the marshal for him, I didn't approve of him. I made him follow the marshal wholeheartedly. The so-called near - red, near - black. Yuan Shikai has been a suspicious person all his life. I'm worried that my disciple won't be able to stay by his side. ”I think Guo Chengliang should finally come to his senses.”
”According to your Master and disciple, your disciple Yuan Shikai is a very good person,” he said.
The Buddha continued, ”This is an extraordinary time. I would like to advise you to resign your disciple's position and return to the Northeast to work. In the face of the war between the North and South, if he was with Yuan Shikai, it would be hard for him to not contribute to Yuan Shikai's efforts. ”
”Fellow Daoist, you are absolutely right. You should advise this disciple to withdraw as soon as possible. This is what we should do.”
”Yuan Shikai has a mob under his command,” said Farmer Farmer. Yuan Shikai is faithful and adulterous. ”
Buddha Longevity said, ”My disciple has always been a straightforward person. Sooner or later, he will be ostracized and suffer a loss. ”
Then the monk came in and said: ”Master Fang, the guest's meal is ready. Please use it now. So I'll leave the stove empty and prepare for the welcoming banquet tonight. ”
”We are in high spirits and have much in common,” he said happily. ”We really can't bring ourselves to end the talks. ”Fellow Daoist, please go eat first. We'll discuss this after dinner.” ”For the past few days, I've been in a hurry to find a little disciple. He didn't eat well or sleep well, so he had accumulated anger in his heart. Now that I feel carefree and hungry. ” Fatong went to eat with the Buddha of Longevity.
The three of them then discussed the Buddha of longevity. ”I did not want this Northeast Monk to be so modest and friendly,” said the Minister. ”It is very different from what I have heard before. This person is worthy of respect. ”
”I heard from someone that he had a different temper and was very quiet,” said Farmer Farmer. Today, seeing each other was different. ”It's really better to listen to the scenery than to see the scenery.” However, Ruo Feng didn't look at it that way. He laughed. ”Whoever goes to a foreign land will make a name for themselves.” I see that the Buddha of longevity has a certain pride. ”
At this moment, the little Daoist returned from the city. Seeing his dejected expression, Farmer asked, ”What's wrong? Are you feeling wronged? ” The little Daoist shook his head. ”What news did you hear?”
The little Taoist said: ”The police handled the case yesterday and did not help the British. The English archbishop, Létimo, had come from Tianjin today to find out that Mary was dead. He went to the police station and urged them to take action today. The police have arrested some people and said they understand the case. The first to be caught were the boss and employees of Kun Yu Tang, as well as a few residents nearby. The other men had been caught by the police and used for their duties. The police did not help the British because the little boy from the Church of England refused to answer questions to the police. The little man was unreasonable when the police questioned him and scolded Chief Zheng. The police had analyzed and determined that the deaths of Maclay and Mary were the result of their conspiracy to commit a crime. Caused by exposure. It was also said that the case in the church had been committed by the servants of the Taihe Shop in the south of the city, and that they had already been apprehended. There was no reference to the National Guardian Temple. I was at the guard camp, listening to the officers talk. ” When the abbot heard this, he fell into deep thought. Seeing that the little Daoist was crying, he immediately asked, ”Why are you crying?”
The young Daoist said, ”My eldest senior brother is in trouble. He was unknowingly taken captive by Yuan Shikai. ” Everyone was shocked. ”Tell me,” said Farmer, ”why was he taken into custody?”
The little Daoist shook his head and said, ”That Eunuch Liu beside Yuan Shikai went to find my Senior Brother last night and claimed that President Yuan had something to discuss with him. My senior brother followed him into the palace to meet Yuan Shikai, but he never returned. When I arrived at my senior brother's house, Eunuch Liu brought another person and searched my senior brother's house, taking some unknown items. My wife asked him to follow her and find out what had happened. Deputy Xu was chased back by Eldest Young Master Yuan's men. I won't let you see my senior brother, and I won't tell you what happened. When Deputy Xu went to ask the Chief of Police, no one there was willing to divulge any information. ”My martial sister is so worried that she's crying. She's still trying to persuade Deputy Xu to think of a way out.”
