Buddha Temple.
Speaking of this, Li Yuan thought of the Bodhisattva statue covered with eyeballs, which was truly awe-inspiring.
But this time he didn't refuse.
After seeing the Bodhisattva statue for the first time, he started to inquire about it, and it was Master Wang who was in the private school in the inner courtyard who inquired about it.
Temples such as Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple and Canshen Temple are spread over a wide area. When Gaoliu County was founded, the Bodhisattva Temple in the inner city was there and the incense was very strong.
"Okay, let's go for a walk."
There are very few pedestrians in the outer city, and the impact of the city closure is still continuing, but the inner city seems quite lively, and the streets and alleys are full of people, and it seems that it has not been affected.
"The inner city is better."
Li Lin sighed.
Before the Li family was ruined, they had a small courtyard in the inner city. After it was ruined, Qin Xiong bought it to raise an outhouse.
Li Yuan glanced at the government servant standing at the end of the street and nodded:
"It's definitely much better."
The gap between the rich and the poor in the inner and outer cities is very obvious, which can be seen from the distribution of gangs. In the outer city, there are Chai Gang, Yu Gang, and Sanhe Gang, while in the inner city, there are Changyuan Escort Agency, Yizi Inn, Tongda Bank, and Lihe Martial Arts School.
Well, there are also brothels.
After taking a look at Chunfeng Tower, which was closed during the day on the far street, Li Yuan added in his mind.
Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple is located in the northwest corner of the inner city. Pilgrims come here every day, and you can smell the scent of incense candles from a distance.
Accompanying my brother and sister-in-law to the temple.
The temple of Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva occupies a very large area. At the entrance, there is a square with a height of two meters and a large incense burner squatting in front of the main hall, filled with smoke.
"This incense burner!"
After just one glance, Li Yuan couldn't walk, and his heart was a little pounding.
"Second brother, you accompany my sister-in-law to burn incense, and I'll take a spin by myself."
Such a large incense burner, no matter what the grade, is considered to be the best for him.
If you squat on the gray stone platform, how many things can you put in it?
"Okay, don't wander around."
After waving his hand, Li Yuanti slid two handfuls of incense towards him. When he was two meters closer, he saw the light.
Not white light, but blue light!
[Cense burner in front of Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple (second level)]
[Made with wrought iron mixed with copper, its color has not changed for thousands of years. Countless believers gathered to pray devoutly, and the smoke drifted here, expressing the believers' desire for good luck and peace...
Has gradually become supernatural...]
[Conditions for control: Level 1 of God Worship]
[Control effect: calmness, solemnity, patience, and a little good luck]
What a good thing!
Putting the lit incense in the incense burner, Li Yuan felt his palms itching. This burner was better than expected, even better than the statue in the hall!
At least, the light was a normal color, not a blood color that made him feel creepy.
"This incense burner weighs at least a thousand kilograms. It is made of wrought iron mixed with copper. It costs hundreds of taels of silver to make, let alone one that has been passed down for thousands of years..."
After thinking about it, Li Yuan gave up the idea of buying it. No temple would sell such a symbolic thing.
Not to mention, the incense in the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple is so prosperous that there is no shortage of money at all.
but……
"The nine temples in Gaoliu are headed by Bodhisattva, followed by the residual god. These two temples have strong incense, but some of the ones outside the city seem to be running out of incense..."
The Universiade worships gods, and temple fairs are grander and more solemn than any other festival. However, there are too many temples, so it is impossible for all of them to be popular.
The competition between temples is sometimes more fierce than gangs.
Li Yuan thought about taking time out of the city to visit those houses. He turned around to look for his brother and sister-in-law. When he looked up, he saw an acquaintance.
"Hey, is that Lu Bailing?"
Miss Lu, who was wearing a smart martial robe, was very eye-catching. At this moment, she was accompanying an elegant middle-aged man to the backyard of the temple.
However, after just one glance, Li Yuan's eyes were attracted by another person, that woman
With his back to him, he was carrying an extraordinary-looking sword.
This sword...
"Uh-huh!"
As if she noticed someone was watching, the woman turned around suddenly and glanced over with sharp eyes.
"Master!"
After several dozen meters, Li Yuan felt that the woman was extremely fierce. Although he was curious about the grade of the sword, he didn't look at it anymore.
He was more passionate about the big incense burner than the sword.
…
"What's wrong?"
Lu Yunqing paused slightly.
"No, Xu is a deceiver."
Fang Yunxiu didn't take it seriously. When Lu Bailing heard this, he turned around and looked at him: "Where can you be so bold?"
"The Bodhisattva is here, don't make mistakes!"
Lu Yunqing glared at his daughter, then turned to the temple abbot who came from the backyard:
"It's Lu's fault that he bothered Master Kongding to come out to greet him. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."
"What did the magistrate say?"
The bald old monk clasped his hands together with great courtesy and led a few people to the backyard:
"The vegetarian meal is just right, I'm about to invite some distinguished guests to taste it..."
"That's Lu's blessing."
Lu Yunqing smiled, and when passing by a wooden window, he took a look inside.
Amid the smoke, the Bodhisattva with six eyes on his face and a thousand eyes on his body seemed to be smiling.
…
The Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple is quite large, and it enshrines more than just the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva. There are two King Kongs on both sides of the main hall.
They are blood, flesh, bones, and tendons, which are combined into the Vajra, which is the most famous god. Many temples offer these Vajras in addition to the main gods.
Like the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva, these large Vajra statues are also carved in such an impressive way that I dare not even look at them.
"Still poor!"
In front of the four Vajra temples, there are incense burners of different sizes, but there are also two first-level ones, but Li Yuan can't afford them at all.
Feeling hot but unable to afford it, Li Yuan lost his mind for a moment and found his brother and sister-in-law, planning to find a restaurant for dinner.
"Did you hear that? The long-term escort agency was in trouble, and the escort was robbed. Not only did it lose its reputation, but it also cost the blacksmith shop 500 taels of silver!"
"Mr. Lin is so angry that he is almost bedridden. I heard that they are recruiting people, and they are going to work with the Blacksmith Shop to find an explanation from the Viper Gang!"
"Hey, when Commander Qiu was here, where could there be so many bad things?"
…
On the way, Li Yuan heard the discussion.
He looked up and saw a wooden platform set up outside the Changyuan Escort Bureau, with a recruiting flag erected, and several powerful men fighting on the wooden platform.
There were many onlookers, and there were cheers from time to time.
"Third brother, your boss is going out of the city to find the Viper Gang? Don't go, it's too dangerous!"
When Li Lin heard this, his heart tightened.
"I haven't heard of this. Don't worry, it's not my turn."
Li Yuan had never heard of this, but he thought it was quite credible. Is Cao Yan really worried?
However, this has nothing to do with him.
"The title of blacksmithing genius should still be useful..."
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Li Yuan led his brother and sister-in-law into a tavern.
This tavern was not as luxurious as Yizi Restaurant, but the prices of the food and wine still gave Li Lin a headache, and he refused to eat here.
It was Li Yuan who took the initiative to order two dishes, then reluctantly sat down and kept chattering.
"Okay, why can't you accept my little brother's wishes?"
The second sister-in-law stared, and Li Lin shut her mouth.
"Second sister-in-law, it's time to take care of yourself. What's the point of eating something good?"
In his previous life, Li Yuan loved eating and drinking. He had no choice before, but now that he is more affluent, he just wants to eat something good.
At least, get a few jugs of honey water.
He doesn't like drinking very much
, he is not used to drinking strong liquor, but rice wine is okay, similar to the fermented glutinous rice juice in his previous life, slightly sweet,
Of course, honey water is the best.
Although the taste is far inferior to the previous life, it still has some flavor.
"This water is so sweet!"
Wang Juan loved to drink. Li Lin didn't say anything and drank a glass of wine silently. Tears fell down for some reason.
"Second brother, you..."
Li Yuan was a little dumbfounded.
"When you were young, our mother would bring us a few glasses of wine every time she came back from the ***. At that time, my eldest brother was also here, but he would never drink and would give it to you. When I was young, I would always fight with you..."
Li Lin wiped his tears and raised his glass:
"Thank you, Third Brother!"
…
…
On this day, Li Yuan did not go to blacksmithing or stand. He accompanied his brother and sister-in-law to walk around the inner city for a day and went to bed early at night.
A dreamless night.
"call!"
The next day, when the sky was bright, Li Yuan just stretched his muscles and got up.
After not practicing for a day, he felt energetic all over his body, and his qi and blood seemed to be much more active than before.
"One step at a time and one step at a time is called the way. Grandmaster will never deceive me!"
Li Yuan felt the change, and even felt like he wanted to be lazy and take another day off.
But he still gritted his teeth and climbed up, swallowed a blood accumulating pill, and played a few sets of military postures before going out.
He is the first one to go to the forging room every day, but in fact, the disciples in the inner courtyard do not have this restriction. Forging iron, they make little and earn little, and no one cares about it.
As soon as he entered the blacksmith's shop, Li Yuan noticed something unusual in the atmosphere. He asked a blacksmith he knew well, and his expression changed a little.
"The big shopkeeper has contacted more than a dozen forces in the inner and outer cities and wants to go out of the city together to find the Viper Gang?"
Li Yuan was a little frightened.
Cao Yan was too hasty. It seemed that he didn't believe Fatty Sun's words at all...
After a while, Zhang Bi also came.
Lao Zhangtou's expression was solemn, more severe than ever before: "Next, you are not allowed to ask for leave, and within ten days, your inner armor will be punched out!"
"Disciple understands!"
Li Yuan was grateful in his heart and responded solemnly.
…
Cao Yan moved quickly.
Fatty Sun had only been back for three days, but he had already contacted more than a dozen forces in the inner and outer cities, and even borrowed three great monks from the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva Temple.
Except for Li Yuan, all the disciples in the inner courtyard of the Blacksmithing Shop, who were not very successful, received orders to leave the city.
Cao Yan even mobilized old apprentices who had already left the inner courtyard.
Suddenly, the shop was filled with a tense atmosphere.
when!
when!
when!
The sound of blacksmithing in the forging room was unprecedentedly loud and intensive. Zhang Ben did not need to urge him. All the blacksmith assistants used their full strength.
"Now you know how to work hard? You had this energy earlier, and you have already mastered the blacksmithing skills. Do you still have to worry about this?"
Zhang Ben hates that iron cannot become steel.
The blacksmiths were so scolded that they couldn't even raise their heads. They glanced at Li Yuan in the corner, but they couldn't help but feel jealous.
In the entire blacksmith shop, apart from Zhang Bi, this junior brother was the only one who would not be transferred out of the city.
"call!"
Li Yuan took a deep breath and put down the forging hammer:
"Master, the black silver silk is ready, you can weave armor!"
