Starting from the sculpture of Buddha statues in Lanruo Temple

Chapter 59 Deposit
According to what Li Fengning knew in his previous life, most of the people parading in the feudal society were prisoners, but this is the first time I have seen this Bodhisattva parading.

However, I don't know what kind of magic this fake Guanyin has cast, but it seems that he is quite holy.

Most of the sun in the sky was blocked by the clouds, and it seemed that seven or eight percent of the skylight emitted through the clouds shone on the false Guanyin.

But this day the light of the sky shone on the false Guanyin, and it was reflected again, forming a layer of holy shimmer around his body.

This made the common people look at the fake Guanyin parading the streets, and they didn't feel any funny feeling in their hearts. Instead, at this moment, they really thought that the fake Guanyin was the real Bodhisattva from Leiyin from the West Heaven.

Wang Bo looked at the fake Guanyin and was stunned for a moment.

Zhiqiu Yiye snorted coldly. He heard what Changchun Taoist and others said, and he also knew that Pudu Cihang and his henchmen were all centipede spirits in human skin.

He really wanted to attack the fake Guanyin, but seeing many passers-by on the street, he was afraid that the spell would accidentally injure others, so he held back.

Not long after the false Guanyin walked through this street, Li Fengning and Wang Bo had already eaten and drank enough, and went downstairs first.

I only knew that Qiu Yiye was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and paid the bill angrily.

……

As soon as the three of Li Fengning entered the Tianfo Temple, the Zhike monk greeted them:

"Do the three benefactors want to pay homage to Avalokitesvara..."

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on Li Fengning's face:

"Master Li!?"

When Li Fengning was carving Buddha statues in Tianfo Temple, this Zhike monk received Li Fengning.

At that time, although Li Fengning was tall and handsome, he was wearing coarse linen clothes and carrying a bundle, and looked like a beating worker.

Unlike now, like a rich family.

"Is Master Li here to carve Buddha statues?" Zhike monk restrained his surprise and asked.

The former supervisor and abbot, when the monks in the temple found out, there was only a pair of hollow skins left.

Everyone felt that they were killed by a monster hiding in the temple.

And the carving of Tianwang Hall was also put on hold. Speaking of which, the zhike monk didn't know whether the former prison temple had paid Li Fengning.

However, the new supervisor and abbot did not tell them, the intellectual monks, that someone would come to carve Buddha statues.

"Master, it's not." Li Fengning said, "Where is the abbot of your temple, let's discuss a business with him."

Talking about business... If Li Fengning was still the same as before, the Zhike monk would think that he was arrogant, but now looking at Li Fengning's attire, he felt that Li Fengning might really have the capital to negotiate business with the abbot.

So, the Zhike monk led Li Fengning and the other three to a hall to wait for a while, and then went to invite the abbot himself.

……

About the time of a cup of tea, the new abbot of Tianfo Temple walked in.

The new abbot, who looks over 50 years old, is the apprentice of Master Mingyan, the former abbot of Tianfo Temple, with the dharma name Mingyuan.

He is slightly fat, with a big belly and a beard under his jaw.

This new abbot, Ming Yuan, Li Fengning had seen before in the scene of incense and vows.

When the monks in Tianfo Temple cleaned up the corpses of the evil cultivator and the centipede, Ming Yuan was terrified.

Later, he was elected by the monks as the new abbot of Tianfo Temple. Although he was excited, when he was alone at night, he would tremble when he thought of the death of his two senior brothers.

Therefore, he often prayed to Avalokitesvara, hoping that Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara would protect him from being invaded by evil spirits.

After meeting the abbot, Li Fengning saluted first, and then cut straight to the point, explaining the purpose of his visit.

The abbot was startled when he heard this.

Li Fengning was not the first to propose this business.

On the third day after the Avalokitesvara appeared, some merchants came to Tianfo Temple and proposed to do business with them.

However, those merchants only proposed it, and they have not yet sent over the carving samples of the Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara.

When he was about to say that Tianfo Temple already had some cooperative merchants, he suddenly saw Li Fengning handing over a box.

Inside the box are the Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara jade pendant, rosary beads and nuclear carvings.

"You carved it so quickly..." Abbot Mingyuan was surprised, and couldn't help but look inside the box carefully.

After all, he has stayed in Tianfo Temple, a large Buddhist temple, for decades, and he also has a certain appreciation ability for sculptures. He can see at a glance that Li Fengning's sculptures are not extraordinary.

Wang Bo said: "Abbot, Master Li's carving speed is very fast, most of the small wooden carvings of Avalokitesvara in Jinhua City today are made by Master Li.

"If the abbot is satisfied with these small carvings, Master Li should be able to carve them out soon."

Li Fengning said: "If the abbot is satisfied, I can give the abbot what he wants tomorrow."

With yesterday's carving experience, he will be able to carve faster today.

Abbot Ming Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard it, obviously quite moved.

If Li Fengning could ship the goods tomorrow, then Tianfo Temple would be able to collect incense money for these small sculptures tomorrow.

"Three please, let's talk in detail." Abbot Mingyuan became more enthusiastic and planned to discuss the price with Li Fengning and others in detail.

Suddenly, a Zhike monk came in:

"Abbot, Master Luo Yin of Lanruo Temple, I want to see you."

Abbot Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, he Tianfo Temple should have nothing to do with the imperial court, this is why Master Luo Yin, who is said to be a disciple of the national teacher, wanted to meet him.

However, his two dead senior brothers had vigorously advocated that the national teacher Purdue Cihang was the Tathagata Buddha or something, and they were forced to kneel down to worship the Tathagata Buddha on the day the centipede was haunted, saying "ask the national teacher to save him" or something.

Could it be that Master Luo Yin came here for his two senior brothers?

"Invite her to come here." Abbot Ming Yuan said.

"Yes." The Zhike monk withdrew.

Abbot Mingyuan started talking about the price with Li Fengning and others.

After a while, the fake Avalokitesvara Luoyin master, followed by six monks, came in.

As soon as she came in, she was stunned when she saw Li Fengning and others here.

She originally planned to try Abbot Mingyuan's tone first, to see if the abbot of the Buddhist Temple held respect for the national teacher Pudu Cihang.

If the abbot had a general view of the national teacher, she planned to let one of the centipedes behind her use the "painting skin technique" to replace the abbot of Tianfo Temple.

But I didn't expect that there were people beside me, so it was hard to start.

"Abbot Mingyuan." Master Luo Yin made a Buddhist salute: "These people are..."

She was thinking about how to get Li Fengning and the others away.

Abbot Mingyuan returned the salute and pointed with his fingers: "These guys are talking about carving business with me.

"This Master Li is the sculptor of the small wood carving of the Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara that has been selling hot in Jinhua City recently."

Master False Avalokitesvara Luo Yin looked at Li Fengning for the first time:

"Oh, it turned out that you carved the small wooden carving of Avalokitesvara, thank you for carving my Dharma image.

"I also need to carve a batch of small woodcarvings for my true self. I wonder if Master Li can help."

"Of course, let's discuss the price and deposit later." Li Fengning smiled.

The last transaction with Centipede Jing made him quite unhappy. This time, he had to collect the deposit first.
