Chapter 276: Wood Carving
In the eyes of that deacon, he really regarded me as a master of loose cultivation who traveled through mountains and rivers, although he didn't perform the talisman technique in front of him or anything, but he was deeply impressed by the flowing talisman technique.
He even wanted to ask me where I was going to live in the city for a while, obviously because he wanted to stammer!
I didn't pay attention to him, pretending to be a master just to prevent him from swallowing my rune with malicious intentions, and now that he has succeeded, he naturally doesn't want to pay more attention to it, so that he can also leave an arrogant image of a master in his heart.
After leaving the shop, I took Xiao Nannan and went straight to a nearby restaurant, which was not luxurious, but it seemed that business was good.
As soon as I walked to the door, I was stopped by the shopkeeper, his eyebrows were cold, and before the shopkeeper with a face full of disgust and disgust could speak, I directly took out a piece of gold leaf and shook it in front of him, and said coldly: "Get out!" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and he hadn't come back to his senses yet. The chubby shopkeeper hurriedly ran over, pulled the shopkeeper aside, and shouted at the shopkeeper: "Get out and beckon the guests, don't be an eyesore here!" ”
The shopkeeper shrank his head, didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly ran to the side.
The chubby shopkeeper squinted at me. He looked at me with a smile and said, "Don't be angry with this guest officer, that little guy is not sensible, don't mind." Are you sharpening or staying in a hotel? ”
Wealth is moving, open the door to do business, and the rich one is the uncle!
When the fat shopkeeper looked at the gold leaf in my hand with burning eyes, I directly broke off a small piece from the gold leaf, threw it to him, and said lightly: "An upper room, prepare wine and food and send it up, by the way, send two more buckets of bath water!" ”
The fat shopkeeper took the gold leaf in his hand. After a pause, a fat face smiled and said, "This master, don't worry, I will definitely arrange it for you." ”
As he spoke, he called a shopkeeper and asked him to take us to a certain room in the restaurant.
After coming to this room, although the decoration here is average, it is much better than the simple and broken room I lived in before. The little girl in her arms looked at everything in this room with wide eyes, looking very novel, she had never seen such a beautiful room since she was a child, and she naturally felt very curious.
The wine and bath water were quickly delivered, looking at those wine and food that were full of color and flavor, the little girl couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and looked at me with big eyes, a little pitiful.
I rubbed her head and said with a smile, "Don't look at it, let's eat it!" ”
The little one was hungry and ran straight to the table and devoured the dishes.
"Slow down, don't worry!" I poured a glass of wine, drank it myself, and said softly to the little girl who was eating heavily.
I had never eaten such a delicacy, and the little girl ate it very violently, and most of the dishes went into her stomach. After eating, she rubbed her stomach, yawned again and again, and said, "Uncle, I'm sleepy!" ”
I smiled and said, "Don't sleep yet." Go take a shower, Uncle go buy you beautiful clothes! ”
She nodded, walked over to the big barrel, and went straight to undressing.
After taking off the dirty clothes, revealing a small body, the moment I saw her back, my eyes shrank suddenly, but I didn't say anything, I just picked her up and put her in the bucket of hot water.
"Wash yourself well, uncle will be back in a while!" I whispered to her, then turned and walked out the door.
After leaving the restaurant, I began to look for a tailor's shop on the street to sell clothes, thinking about what I had just seen.
On the back of the little girl, there is a lotus flower mark, and the blood-colored lotus flower occupies her entire back, which looks very demonic.
I knew for a long time that Xiao Nannan's background was definitely not ordinary, and ordinary four or five-year-old children would never be able to do the things she did. She has endured too much hardship, but she can still be innocent and content.
Let's not mention her life experience, just say that the bronze coffin must have other meanings for abandoning me in this place, maybe it is to let me take care of Xiao Nannan! Whatever the reason, the woman in the bronze coffin must have something to do with Xiao Nannan, otherwise she wouldn't have thrown me here.
But. Anyway, I like this little girl very much, and I love her innocent appearance.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but think of Ling Qianqian's figure in my mind, the incident more than five years ago, Ling Qianqian should be fine! After all, that Gao Yuehao made a timely move, and the woman in the bronze coffin should also be able to save those people in the mountain!
If everything is normal, Ling Qianqian's child and I should be about the same age as Xiao Nannan!
After thinking about it for a while, I sighed, and now it is futile to think about this, even if I am worried and desperate to go back, there is no way. This is the border of Dongzhou, if you want to go back, you must either tear open the spatial rift and return, or pass through the vast area of Northern Xinjiang.
Neither of these methods will work for me now, and it is useless to think too much, so let's put aside all thoughts and stay here for a while!
I found a tailor's shop, broke off a small piece of gold leaf, bought a lot of my own clothes and clothes suitable for the little girl, and returned to the restaurant.
When I came back, she was already asleep by the barrel, so I carried her to bed and covered her with the quilt. She doesn't have the dirty look she used to look like before, and she looks a lot cuter now, but look at her yellow-skinned appearance. I sighed softly, and placed the clothes I had bought for her on the bedside.
After I took a shower, I sat down on a chair in my room and began to think about the next path.
The body is now a fertile ground in which a perfect seed is born, if I want to follow the path I had before. I'm confident that in a month at most, I'll be able to get back to my peak form, and even improve.
But once I did, it meant that all my experiences over the past few years had come to naught. It didn't help in the slightest in the future. The most important thing is that if I do this, I will definitely die when I behead the third corpse.
Nine awakenings, nine different lives, the perception of those strong people is an extremely valuable wealth for me. I can feel that those people are basically a fusion of the three corpses and the power of the Tao, and they are all trying to find a different path from before, otherwise it would not be so outrageous.
As for the woman in the bronze coffin, although I have not experienced her life, judging from all indications, she should have fused the Dao of beheading three corpses with the Dao of Strength to a very high level, a level that I am far from knowing.
With such a foundation. If I want to comprehend such a realm, it is not too difficult, after all, the different lives after the nine awakenings have laid a deep foundation for me.
However, my heart is ambitious!
Combining the Dao of the Three Corpses and the Dao of Force, even if it reaches the peak, it is estimated that it can only reach the realm of the woman in the bronze coffin at most. In this world. That's truly invincible.
But what's the use?
She herself said that she is also an outcast, not an immortal, and an outcast!
From ancient times to the present, there are only three ways to become an immortal. In addition to these two, there is also the path of merit.
As the name suggests, it is to do good deeds, do more good deeds, and after reaching a certain stage, you can rank in the immortal position. This kind of thing, the monks who are all empty seem to be doing it all the time. But no effect was seen either.
Heaven is ruthless, and there is no clear definition of the so-called good and evil. There is a good saying, good people do not live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years.
If you really keep doing good deeds and you can get God's approval, I don't see how many good people in this world can finally get a good death!
So, this is called merit enlightenment. The real meaning should not be as simple as doing good deeds, but my understanding should be something similar to faith.
Of course, I'm not the first person to guess this, and the ancient mighty have thought of this a long time ago. Take, for example, those monks. When they do good deeds, they do not forget to preach the essence of the Dharma, and to put it nicely, it is to make people do good and influence the world, but the real purpose should be to collect the power of faith.
How should the power of faith be collected?
I don't understand!
Alas......
I shook my head, this method didn't work for the time being, no one taught me. I don't even have a clue......
At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and something suddenly occurred to me.
In those Buddhist gates, people worship clay Buddha statues, which are just a symbol. The worship and belief of the people of the world are all made of those Buddha statues painted with gold lacquer.
Clay tires can be made into statues, and wood can also be made into statues!
In the half year that the old man of the lonely mountain controlled my body, he had been silently carving wood carvings there, and in half a year, he carved countless statues of various animals, and when the last piece of wood carving took shape, he carved a person, who was himself.
Maybe it was unintentional, maybe it was some other reason, maybe even he didn't know it, he might have found some kind of way to put the power of faith in him!
Thinking of this, my eyes lit up, regardless of whether this method was feasible or not. You have to give it a try.
Thinking like this, a wave of tiredness hit me, and my eyelids drooped a few times, and finally I fell into a deep sleep.
There's no way, the body is no different from ordinary people now, you will be hungry, sleepy, sick, and you don't have any energy at all if you don't rest.
In the next few days, I took Xiao Nan to visit the city, ate a lot of delicious food, she was very happy and excited every day, looking at her innocent smile, I also put aside all thoughts. I played with her for a few days.
A few days later, I bought a small shop in the middle of the city, with a small courtyard behind it, and I have lived here since then.
I bought a lot of wood from the lumber yard in the city, piled it up in the yard, and started my carving career!
