Starting from the sculpture of Buddha statues in Lanruo Temple

Chapter 57 High-end Avalokitesvara Sculpture

Li Fengning felt that his mana was in an extremely mysterious state.

——It seems that Taoist spells and Buddhist spells can be cast without hindrance.

Moreover, my current mana is a little different from what Changchun Taoist said.

According to the Changchun Taoist, mana is stored in the dantian, and when it needs to be used, it is transported out of the dantian.

But Li Fengning's mana is directly stored in the meridians.

His meridians are full of mana!

This allows him to use mana much faster than others.

……

Early the next morning, Wang Bo called porters and assistants as agreed to carry the small wooden carving of Avalokitesvara to Li Fengning's house.

When Wang Bo saw the [-] small wooden carvings of Avalokitesvara, he was surprised but also extremely happy.

If the [-] thousand-handed Avalokitesvara wooden carvings are sold again, it will be another fortune.

After the porters and assistants transported the [-] small wooden carvings of Avalokitesvara, Li Fengning put on the carving burden and locked the door.

He asked Wang Bo if he had had breakfast, and Wang Bo said no.

Wang Bo's heart moved, and he asked Li Fengning if he had tried the shrimp fried eel noodles from a noodle stall in the city.

"No, Boss Wang, please lead the way." Li Fengning's eyes lit up. Although he hadn't eaten yet, he was already full of anticipation when he heard the name.

After passing through several streets and alleys, Li Fengning and Wang Bo sat down at a noodle stall and ordered noodles. After a while, two bowls of noodles were brought up by the noodle stall owner one after another.

When Li Fengning picked up the chopsticks, he looked into the bowl.

Thin noodles are soaked in a rich broth.

Spread on top are eel slices fried in oil until crispy.

And the white and tender big river prawns wrapped in egg whites and fried in a pan.

I haven't tasted it yet, but looking at the appearance, my index finger is already twitching.

After Li Fengning picked up his chopsticks, he put the noodles with the soup into his mouth.

The mouth is immediately occupied by a delicious fragrance.

After a while, Li Fengning finished one bowl and ordered two more bowls.

While eating, Wang Bo suddenly had a thought, so he said to Li Fengning:

"Master Li, I wonder if you have carved jade carvings, rosary beads, stone carvings and gold carvings before."

"Jade carving... has been carved." Li Fengning said.

His predecessor had sculpted, but he had never sculpted when he traveled here.

"The upper-class people in Jinhua City need these high-end sculptures." Wang Bo said:

"Now that we have some money, we can buy some jade and precious wood to carve Avalokitesvara."

He paused for a moment, then said again: "After carving these out, I somehow got in touch with those upper-class people in Jinhua City..."

After hearing this, Li Fengning slurped the noodles while thinking.

Those upper-class people have nursing homes and housekeepers, so they won't be seen by others.

But how can the upper class come into contact with these Buddhist sculptures?

He remembered the novels he had read in his previous life, and the screen works he had watched, in which the female relatives in the mansions of the upper class, usually the daughters, wives or mothers of the upper class, often went to temples to burn incense and worship Buddha.

Moreover, he sold these small handicrafts in the Buddhist temple in his previous life.

Perhaps, you can talk to the major Buddhist temples in JH City.

"Boss Wang, why don't we try to cooperate with the Buddhist temples in Jinhua City. They can collect incense money in the Buddhist temples and give away Avalokitesvara sculptures, and we can help them produce them." Li Fengning said.

Wang Bo's eyes lit up, and he was very moved by Li Fengning's proposal, but then he seemed to think of something, and he hesitated to speak.

After struggling for a while, he still said cautiously:
"The carvings sold to the upper class require relatively high craftsmanship. Neither I nor a few guys have that kind of skill. I don't know, Master Li, you..."

After hearing this, Li Fengning immediately understood.

Wang Bo felt that he was too young, and he was afraid that his artistic attainments were not advanced enough.

Once the carved Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara reaches the upper class, it will definitely be picked on by experts.

The eyebrows and eyes of Avalokitesvara, the curvature of the mouth, the posture of each hand, etc., all have to have a high artistic and religious charm.

But Li Fengning is not worried, he can manifest the [Thousand-handed Avalokitesvara] himself, and he is completely aware of the face and posture of the Thousand-handed Avalokitesvara.

He only needs to concentrate, and he can carve the [Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara] to perfection.

"Boss Wang, I'm quite confident in myself, let me give it a try." Li Fengning said.

Although Wang Bo was still a little uneasy, the huge interest rate difference in selling high-end sculptures made him willing to give Li Fengning a try.

……

After making up his mind, Li Fengning went to Qingfeng Temple first, and told Changchun Taoist that he would come to carve another day.

Then he and Wang Bo went to the shop to pick jade and precious wood.

They walked to the bustling market and were about to go to a jade shop.

Li Fengning had sharp eyes and ears, and most of the conversations of pedestrians and tourists entered his ears.

He heard a rather interesting news.

"Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands that night was manifested by Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who is preaching in Lanruo Temple?" Li Fengning asked suddenly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Bo said:

"Yes, in the past two days, there have indeed been such rumors, and I don't know where it came from.

"Many people who bought our small wooden carving of Avalokitesvara talked to us about it."

In the past two days... Li Fengning recalled that in the past two days, his incense power has not decreased, but has increased.

……

In a spacious and bright hall of Lanruo Temple.

There were only two people standing inside.

One is a woman, wearing a snow-white monk's robe, with a white scarf on her carefully tied hair.

Her appearance was quite beautiful, but her complexion was very gloomy.

The other is male, wearing official robes, with a submissive look.

It is the magistrate in the city.

This master Luo Yin is the proud descendant of the ancestor of the centipede, the national teacher, and has powerful magic power, which is incomparable to those eighteen dead centipedes who deceive people.

In front of this centipede, he always felt that he was inferior.

"Have you arranged for someone to spread the news that I am Avalokitesvara?" Master False Avalokitesvara Luo Yin said with anger.

"Yes, of course." The magistrate said very forcefully, afraid that Master Luo Yin thought that he really didn't do anything.

Then, he said cautiously: "You still can't feel a trace of incense and wish power in this city?"

"Could it be that none of the people in the city believe that I am the real Avalokitesvara, and the Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands is just a manifestation of me?" Master Luo Yin said.

"Also." She continued: "Who made the Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara manifest? Don't you have any idea?"

The magistrate shook his head, thinking that you have no clue about your practice, so where do I have any clue.

"You arrange it. At that time, I will drive into the city, let the people in the city look up at my Buddha face, and let these foolish people see what a real Bodhisattva is."

Master Luo Yin's voice echoed faintly in the empty hall.
