Starting from the sculpture of Buddha statues in Lanruo Temple

Chapter 3 Mandrill
A lying posture was deeply imprinted in Li Fengning's mind.

He knew at this moment that as long as he took this posture before falling asleep, he could exercise the qi, chakras, and chakras in his body while he was asleep, stimulate the life potential, and thus form mana in the meridians.

"You can also get mana while sleeping? This mana is much more comfortable than statues..."

That night, Li Fengning decided not to burn his liver to carve the Tathagata Buddha, but after he finished carving two Buddha statues, he blew out the oil lamp and fell asleep.

He was lying on the quilt and took the position of [Arhat reclining meditation].

He did not expect that this [Arhat Lying Meditation] would actually have the effect of helping sleep.

Because the previous life came from a peaceful age with abundant material, and it hadn’t been long since I traveled here, so I still couldn’t get used to sleeping on the hard floor with only a straw mat last night.

Most importantly, in ancient society, the floor was not even.

Therefore, lying on the ground, he always felt a little bit sick.

But as soon as the posture of [Arhat reclining meditation] is performed, a feeling of comfort arises in the body, which conceals the discomfort of being pressed against the hard floor.

After a while, he fell asleep leisurely.

When he woke up the next day, he first sat up, stretched like an arhat, and then looked inside his meridians.

Only after one night, the golden gas in the meridians became very thick, like a thick golden mist.

"It seems that the mana increased by [Arhat reclining meditation] is more than that of carved wooden statues..."

Li Fengning made up his mind to go to bed early in the future.

……

The next day, Li Fengning prepared to carve the Tota Arhat among the Eighteen Arhats.

It took two days before he finished carving the statue of Tota Arhat.

The moment it was completed, the voices of various Buddhist sects sounded, and the flow of information flooded into my mind.

——【Tota's Power】.

At the same time, he felt the muscles under his clothes suddenly swell.

According to the information that flooded into his mind just now, he knew that he had obtained the supernatural power to lift two thousand catties in an instant.

This [Power of Tota] permanently improves his physique and transforms his body. When he activates his divine power, he only relies on the strength of his muscles and does not need to rely on spells.

After possessing [Tota's Power], he found that his body was much lighter.

Because every time he makes a movement, he only needs to use light force.

Before, he carved wood in the monk's room, but now he carves stone.

With his current strength, carving stone blocks is as easy as carving wood blocks, no need to use a hammer like before, and there will be no movement.

Also, the engraving speed is much faster.

Carving stone statues gained more mana than carving wood statues, and carving them at his current speed could also accumulate a lot of mana.

After two nights of "Luohan Lying Meditation", the mana in his meridians has condensed from a golden fog into golden clouds.

After carving three stone statues in a row, the golden dense cloud became obviously thicker.

When he felt sleepy, he blew out the oil lamp and fell asleep in the [Arhat Lying Meditation] posture.

……

Three days later, Li Fengning carved two statues.

One is a statue of an arhat in a cloth bag, with a coarse cloth bag the size of a palm.

This coarse cloth bag is similar to the "Najie" and "Qiankun bag" he read in the novels in his previous life, and it can hold a lot of items inside.

The wooden and stone statues he carved in the monk's room have all been hidden in this coarse cloth bag, thinking that one day he can take these statues to the market and sell them for money.

Moreover, with this coarse cloth bag, he can store a few wooden pillars and a few large stones from the front hall, and he no longer needs to run back and forth between the monk's room and the front hall.

In addition to the cloth bag Arhat statue, another Buddha statue he carved is the statue of Garan Bodhisattva.

The original form of Jialan Bodhisattva is Guan Yu.

The character Guan Yu, in Buddhism, is the guardian god of the mountain gate, Garan Bodhisattva, and in Taoism, he is the god of wealth and wealth.

After carving the statue of Jialan Bodhisattva, Li Fengning obtained the supernatural power of "going to the meeting with a single sword".

This [going to the meeting alone] is equivalent to the passive skill in the game in the previous life.

Those who know this supernatural power can increase their attack power as long as they face multiple enemies.

How much and to what extent it can be enhanced, the flow of information flooding into the mind is not shown.

This means that Li Fengning has to try it himself.

During these three days, apart from the fact that someone was sucked dry by ghosts and died at night, there was another event that made the workers even more panicked.

One morning, all the workers were having breakfast in the front hall.

Nearly twenty workers were still squatting and nibbling dry food, but suddenly they all stood up, in groups of five or six, and rushed up to the three office servants in the front hall.

Before the yachai drew their knives, these workers took out the sharp wood chips that had been hidden in advance, and stabbed the yachai indiscriminately.

Immediately, there were many holes on the bodies of the three yamen, and the lower part of the abdomen was stained red with blood.

The two yamen servants outside heard noises inside, went to look around, and saw nearly twenty workers rushing out, three of them were still holding yamen sabers, and their colleagues were lying in a pool of blood .

The expressions of these two servants changed drastically, and they ran out with all their strength.

A clerk, while running, took out a strange thing, put it in his mouth and blew it, and there was a sound of "wuwu".

After a while, just as the group of workers was about to catch up with the two yamen servants, three shadows suddenly jumped out from the woods beside Lanruo Temple.

These three shadows are creatures that Li Fengning and others have never seen before.

They were monkey-like, almost as tall as two people, and had only one leg.

They all had bloody mouths with sparse yellow teeth, and big hands like cattail leaf fans, grabbing at the group of workers.

Seeing this group of workers, they were almost out of their wits in shock. Before they could react, they were grabbed by three monsters and held them under their shoulders.

After these workers reacted, they slashed and stabbed at the three behemoths, only to find that their skin was as hard as a rock, and they couldn't hurt at all.

These three behemoths didn't kill a worker, but just held them between them, leaped with one leg, and shot back into the woods like arrows in a blink of an eye.

The rest of the workers were shocked when they saw this scene.

"Yes...it's a mandrill!"

An older worker suddenly trembled.

He was nearly 50 years old, and he had heard more things than others. He just remembered that the three monsters were very similar to the legendary mandrill.

When they heard the mandrill, everyone also had an impression, including Li Fengning.

They knew that mandrills were a kind of mountain monsters, but they didn't expect them to be so terrifying.

What made the workers even more horrified was that the mandrill was summoned by the Yamen.

They all heard the strange sound made by the yacha.

After a while, the two yamen came back and found that all three of their colleagues had stopped breathing and their faces were gloomy.

This group of workers did not dare to stay here any longer, fearing that the government servants would take their anger out on them and summon mandrills to arrest them, and went to work one after another.

Among the workers captured by the mandrill, three were sculptors.

Their statues are not yet finished.

Li Fengning carved these three Buddha statues and obtained three strands of mana.

He looked inside the meridians and found that his mana had condensed into a golden stream.
