Starting from the sculpture of Buddha statues in Lanruo Temple

Chapter 60 The False Avalokitesvara

False Guanyin listened to Li Fengning's words, although he nodded with a smile, he was quite annoyed in his heart.

Xin Dao, does this mortal kid not believe that he is Guanyin Bodhisattva?
If it were other believers, they would be overjoyed to be able to do things for themselves, but this mortal boy would open his mouth to negotiate with him on such vulgar things as price and deposit.

Or this mortal boy is really a philistine, worshiping money and not bodhisattvas.

"Master Li, take the time to come to Lanruo Temple, we have someone to discuss this matter with you."

While talking about the fake Avalokitesvara, he wanted to ask the magistrate to suppress him after this kid finished making the real sculptures of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, so that all his sculptures of Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands could not be sold.If he wanted to get into other businesses, he couldn't do it.

"Okay." Li Fengning nodded.

"I don't know why Master Luo Yin is looking for this old monk. Master Li and I still have something to talk about..." Abbot Ming Yuan said.

"Since Abbot Mingyuan and Master Li still have something to talk about, I'll come back later." False Guanyin said, and went out with the other six monks.

Seeing himself coming, he even put the order of a sculpture boy before himself.

It can be seen from this that the abbot's attitude towards their Leiyin Temple is really mediocre.

It seems that the abbot will not be allowed to live if he waits a while.

The fake Guanyin is walking in the temple, and there is still a holy light all over his body, which attracts the believers in the temple to stop and watch.

For some believers who had seen the "Thousand-armed Avalokitesvara" that night, although they felt that the fake Avalokitesvara was sacred, the impression it gave them was far less shocking than the huge "Thousand-handed Avalokitesvara" that they had seen that night.

After Li Fengning and the abbot talked for a while, they agreed on the price and left.

As soon as Li Fengning came out of the hall, he saw the fake Guanyin coming from a distance.

He thought of the original abbot and prison temple of Tianfo Temple, who were all skinned by centipede spirits.

Today, this group of centipede spirits came, and it was inevitable that they would repeat their tricks.

He had just negotiated this business with the abbot, and he didn't want a centipede to take over the abbot.

"Let's burn incense to Avalokitesvara." Li Fengning suggested to Wang Bo and Zhiqiu Yiye.

"That's right, Avalokitesvara has saved both of us, so we should go and burn incense for him." Zhiqiu Yiye said.

Wang Bo is not a person who does not believe in gods and Buddhas. After hearing this, he also felt that he should ask Avalokitesvara to bless him for a prosperous future, so he happily went with Li Fengning.

The three of Li Fengning went to the main hall of Avalokitesvara, Li Fengning and Wang Bo each bought a stick of incense, Zhiqiu Yiye bought three sticks of incense, and worshiped the Avalokitesvara.

He immerses his mind in the newly obtained incense and vows, and actually sees himself in a scene.

At the same time, he slowly extended his mind to the main hall where he had just talked with the abbot.

Although he had previously discovered that he could extend his mind to perceive the surrounding situation.

But he rarely does.

Because when the mind is extended, all the information within that extended range will be perceived by him.

Among them are the filth of the ground, the clothes and inner parts of mortals, the whispers of mortals, and so on.

This made him feel quite uncomfortable.

But now, in order to save the abbot and his own business, he will bear it for the time being.

With the extension of his mind, he sensed that the fake Guanyin and six monks had entered the hall where the abbot was.

The last two monks who went in closed the door of the main hall.

This made the abbot stunned.

"I don't know why Master Luo Yin is looking for me?" the abbot asked after recovering from his composure.

But the false Avalokitesvara did not answer.

Then, one of the six monks walked towards the abbot.

Halfway through the journey, the monk's celestial spirit cover suddenly cracked a crack.

Immediately, the seam suddenly widened, extending from the top of the sky to the spine.

A centipede jumped out from the human skin at an extremely fast speed, and its body turned into a black shadow.

Its sharp mouthparts were aimed right at Abbot Mingyuan's bare sky cap.

Suddenly, a golden light burst out in the hall, and a human-sized [Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara] suddenly appeared.

One of the [Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara] made a volley in the air.

The momentum of this centipede is still unabated, but instead of aiming at Fangzhang Mingyuan's bald head, it flies over Fangzhang Mingyuan's head.

Finally, it slammed into the wall of the main hall with a bang.

Afterwards, the two parts of the centipede's body separated, one left and one right.

Black blood gurgled out from the two bodies.

[Avalokitesvara Avalokitesvara] Once hit successfully, it will disappear immediately.

All the actions just now happened in one breath.

Before Abbot Mingyuan could react, he heard a "bang" behind him. Looking back, he saw the remnant of a huge centipede broken in two.

Then I recalled everything just now, knowing that I was almost killed by a monster just now, but it was the sudden appearance of [Avalokitesvara of Thousand Hands] that saved him.

Although the face of the fake Guanyin was calm, there was a huge wave in his heart.

【Avalokitesvara Avalokitesvara】appeared and disappeared without a sound.

In this way, she broke her plan to let her subordinates replace Abbot Mingyuan.

And she didn't even know who released the [Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara].

The [Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara] appeared in Tianfo Temple twice, could it be that the person who manifested this [Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara] is the monk in the Tianfo Temple?

She was full of thoughts in her heart and was uncertain when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Abbot Mingyuan whose head was dripping with sweat and his face was full of panic.

She collected the thoughts in her heart, her face was serious, and she sighed: "This centipede spirit has been against me for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be lurking by my side until just now, and I finally got rid of it." .”

Abbot Mingyuan put his palms together quickly, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Master Guanyin, for killing demons!"

The fake Guanyin silently stared at Abbot Mingyuan's sincere expression, and he didn't know whether the monk really believed that the centipede was removed by her, or actually believed that she had a connection with the centipede essence.

Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara might still be nearby, and she didn't want to rush to make another move.

She flicked her robe sleeves first, and took away the centipede remnant on the ground.

Then he made another trick to clean up all the black blood and other stains on the wall in an instant.

Abbot Mingyuan has been a monk for so long, and this is the first time he has seen such wonderful spells, and his face showed surprise.

"Abbot Ming Yuan, the poor nun feels that it is better not to tell the outside world about such an important matter just now, so as not to disturb other people." False Guanyin said.

The reason she showed this was to let Abbot Mingyuan know that she had magical powers and make him fearful. Even if he suspected that she had a relationship with the centipede spirit, he would not dare to say it casually, lest his life would be lost.

"Yes, the poor monk thinks it should be the same." Abbot Mingyuan said in a steady voice, making his face look less panicked.

False Guanyin walked out of the hall with five monks, full of depression, thinking about reporting this matter to Leiyin Temple in the capital, asking for help, and thinking about how to find out the person who performed Thousand-Handed Guanyin.
