Chapter 523: It's Gold That Always Shines
With a bunch of mallets, what is it like to do technical work?
Li Kui demonstrated the process of pasting gold.
And then a second time.
After doing it until midnight, he realized that he couldn't teach anyone, and then he took a stick and hit anyone who did it wrong. There are often unlucky eggs who are rushed up by Li Kui like a black bear pounced, and then the stormy stick hits the other party like raindrops.
Whewβ
My lord, I was wrong.
Stop it.
Whew
Whew
It's just exhausting.
Especially Luda and Ruan Xiaoer, these guys, who have rough skin and thick meat, scream when they are beaten, and after the beating, they still go their own way, and they don't seem to take Li Kui in their eyes at all.
"Get out, get out, get out of here!"
"Come back, go get two sticks, and hit me if you can't open your eyes!"
Li Kui's eyes were gloomy and his face was pale, and he finally knew the true meaning of interlacing like mountains. Although Luda is not good at technology, but as overseers, there seems to be no better overseers in this world than them. If you hit the body with a stick, you don't have to worry about hurting people at all, but it can make people feel heartache, remorse and humiliation are sandwiched together, the mouth is open, and the father and mother are crying exaggeratedly.
Especially these people are all strong in force, even if they fall from a shelf of about ten meters, they can make protective actions in mid-air, roll a few times after landing, and then get up from the ground like no one. Continue to accept Li Kui's irritable temper, remembering to eat or not.
After a busy night's work, I finally finished pasting the face of the Buddha statue.
Li Kui ordered that the movable planks on the top floor of the workshop be dismantled to allow sunlight to shine in.
When the first rays of light rose from the horizon, everyone looked up at the head of the Buddha statue, and their faces seemed to see the devotion of a true god. The momentum with a treasure light on his face is not at all the kind of momentum that everyone has in the impression that the Buddha statue should have, just like the arrival of the true Buddha of the Buddha country, which is shocking and indescribable.
"My lord, is this what we did?"
"You still have the face to say, most of them were posted by me."
Li Kui hugged his arms and looked up at the head of the Buddha statue, feeling that his hard work had finally not been in vain. Among them, there is not a single Buddhist, not even a person who has a strong view of right and wrong. Almost all of them are killed on the battlefield, and the murderous and evil aura on their bodies, if it really erupts, can make an adult pee his pants in fear.
But the strange thing is that these people are the same people, but because the Buddha statue is pasted with a thin layer of gold leaf, it seems that it is completely different, as if the light falls on the face, the whole person is sublimated, and the holy is as devout as the Buddha. At no other time did they believe in anything other than the sword in their hands, but at this moment, they had the devotion to listen to the teachings in front of the Buddha.
It is like a stone without a spirit, and after being molded into a Buddha statue, it has the appearance of a god, but it is only a superficial appearance. What really gives the Buddha statue a hint of divinity is precisely the thin layer of gold leaf.
"My lord, this is a miracle!"
Luda, a rude man, didn't dare to speak for a long time after seeing the gold-pasted Buddha statue. After a long time of brewing, he said a sycophant.
Li Kui was full of contempt in his heart, a guy with no eyesight. If you pile up a mountain of gold and put it in the sun, it will be even more shocking. Only gold can emit such a lovely and charming light, which is also a superpower that gold has.
Ruda is a sycophant who has no position regardless of the occasion, and has extremely low technical content. This made Ruan Xiaoer very contemptuous, and mocked: "This is the credit of the young master, the young master can do whatever he wants the Buddha statue." β
That's just talking, if you really want to talk nonsense outside, you will be bricked. Li Kui smiled and waved his hand: "This is the original face of the Buddha, I just used my hands to add a little color to the Buddha statue, a little bit." β
Li Kui loves to listen to this, although the golden light of the Buddha statue is shocking, the real reason is probably not the gold leaf, but the light, is a touch of sunshine in the morning, especially after the wooden board on the upper floor of the workshop was removed, the eyes hit the face of the Buddha statue, and the surrounding of the Buddha's head is like a torch that can shine, pointing out the direction in the dark night. That kind of radiant momentum, in the age of ignorance, is the power of faith that no ordinary person can resist. But if anyone dares to question it, then this person must be a hopeless person, a villain who has no faith in his heart.
Li Kui touched his chin and nodded frequently for his achievements, extremely proud in his heart, it turned out that he was a god who turned decay into magic.
"My lord, the old monk is here!"
The old monk that Li Kui's subordinates said was naturally Master Zhiguang, the abbot of Jueming Temple, and it was no wonder that it was difficult for him to be an old man, after the old monk was kicked out yesterday, he must not have slept well all night. After presiding over the morning class at the temple, I hurried to the construction site. was also stopped from entering, and waited anxiously outside for Li Kui to summon him.
But the problem is, this is the territory of Jueming Temple!
Is it really good that you are so arrogant on other people's turf?
Li Kui didn't turn his head, but still looked at the Buddha statue in a daze, as if something had fascinated his eyes. However, other monks can be ignored, and the old monks can't be too cold. Li Kui said: "Please let him in, don't let the others in." β
"My Buddha is merciful, Amitabha!"
After the Buddha horn, the old monk Zhiguang knelt on the ground and worshiped sincerely. He couldn't say why he wanted to do this, but after seeing the golden light shining above the Buddha's head, he suddenly felt a hopeless urge to kneel down in his knees. The feelings in my heart are as hot as gushing magma.
"Master Li, the old man is grateful for the ......"
While speaking, Li Kui was hugged by an old man, to be precise, an old boy hugged his legs and cried bitterly.
When he lowered his head, Li Kui's eyes were a little dark. The main thing is that he stares at bright places for too long, causing his vision to be a little dazzling and not real.
According to Li Kui's character, if he is held by an old man's legs, he will definitely kick people away. Maybe it was because his eyes were uncomfortable, or maybe he remembered the identity of the other party, so he didn't move.
"Mage, please get up!"
Master Zhiguang cried and cried but didn't want to get up, obviously because of his emotions, and it was difficult to take it back for a while. Li Kui pondered that it was better than piety, and he was sure that the monks of the monastery were much more pious than the fighting men under Li Kui. Not to mention the work, and he led a group of fighting men, which is really not the material for gilding the Buddha statue.
Fortunately, his eyes finally eased and he was able to see the shiny brain of Master Zhiguang.
My heart began to ponder, or should I ......
Besides, gilding Buddha statues is not a very important technique. Even in Li Kui's opinion, such a technology is too necessary to be promoted, otherwise, he will really become Master Li, and then die of illness due to too many projects in Western Xia. Because, as long as there is enough gold, the monk simply cannot suppress the idea of putting gold on the Buddha statue.
As long as the day when the Buddha statue of Jueming Temple is unveiled, it is the day when Li Kui becomes famous.
Then, a large number of projects will come to you. When the time comes, think about the monks like congested heads, shouting and chasing after him: "Master Li, the small temple is waiting for Master Li to come." This kind of almost fanatical scene, even Li Kui, who has a big heart, can't bear it. Thinking of this, Li Kui was a little scared.
He looked condescendingly at Master Zhiguang, who was still kneeling on the ground, and after deliberation, asked, "I don't know if the great monk is willing to mold a golden body for the Buddha statue." β
Master Zhiguang raised his head blankly and saw Li Kui shining under the light, bursting out like a Buddha's light, and standing up to the sky and the earth like Vedic Vajra. His heart was even more excited like boiling water, and he trembled: "Master Li, what do you mean?" β
"Under the guidance of our craftsman, the monks of your temple will gild the Buddha statue, and I have also considered that if it needs to be repaired in the future, I am not there, and the monks of your temple can also repair it themselves." Li Kui casually found a reason, seemingly for the sake of Master Zhiguang, but in fact, it was because the ability of his subordinates was too poor.
One by one, they are stupid and lack of virtue and smoke, and the martial artists still have a problem, they are not good at being quiet, let these bastards do the delicate work of gilding, and they can see him angry. Ruda even inhaled too much and was embarrassed by the gold leaf covering his face, which really wasted a lot of materials.
"Master Li is kind to the temple and rebuilds, as long as Master Li says a word, the monks of this temple will definitely go to the soup and fire, and they will not give up!" Master Zhiguang knew that Li Kui was not from Western Xia, and spoke in the tone of the Song Kingdom.
When he didn't come to Western Xia, Li Kui was quite worried.
Because of the language barrier!
But when he came to Western Xia, he found that there was no such problem at all. It is the party members who do not understand the language, or the bottom of the party tribe. Because only these people cannot learn to read and write, it is unlikely that they will need to speak the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty. However, the aristocracy of the party, as well as in Yinzhou, Youzhou, Hongzhou, Xiazhou, Longzhou and other places, there are already a large number of Han people in these areas, so naturally there is no problem in speaking Chinese.
After Li Kui came to Western Xia, there were few cases of different languages.
Of course, when encountering party aristocrats, they can naturally speak less and speak less.
After all, the party nobles in the Western Xia still speak the ancient Qiang language. Li Kui can only understand a few words, and he is about to show his face as soon as he opens his mouth.
Li Kui allowed the monks of Jueming Temple to participate in the work of pasting gold on the Buddha statue, which naturally made Luda and others breathe a sigh of relief. Then Pang Wanchun successfully grew up to become the supervisor appointed by Master Li, plus the on-site craftsman.
After all, Luda and the others are stupid and don't speak, and they explode foul language at every turn.
Ruan Xiaoer can speak well, but the problem is that this guy is too young and lively. Personality and stability don't go along at all. And he is extremely irritable at every turn, and he doesn't look like an overseer.
Finally solved a big trouble, Li Kui promised to come to supervise the work every day for half a day, and then take people back to rest.
When going out of the mountain gate, Master Zhiguang took all the monks in the temple and chanted the Buddha number outside the mountain gate to escort him.
When he was about to get to his lodgings, he saw Fei Tingdoro standing outside the door, looking down the alley with a sad face.
The moment he saw Li Kui, this guy lewdly stepped forward and said, "Master Li, has it ever been smooth?" β
"All well!"
After being busy for several days, Li Kui could finally rest for a while. However, Fei Tingdoro didn't seem to see the impatience on Li Kui's face, but instead said with a worried expression: "Master Li, can you go and see the prince." The prince seemed to be in a bad mood. Since I came yesterday, I have been drinking, and the villain tried to persuade him, but he was kicked out. The prince respects you on weekdays, and Master Lao Li helps him ask, what is the so-called matter? It is also good that the villain has the opportunity to solve problems for the prince. β
Men are in a bad mood.
Especially a lonely man.
Li Kui thought that sending a man would not do anything at all.
He touched and said: "Find two singers for the prince, and he will be happy." β
Fei Tingdoro hesitated, "Really? β
"What do you do when you're lonely?" Li Kui asked.
Under Li Kui's strong and hot eyes, Fei Tingdoro didn't dare to talk nonsense at all, and touched his bare head embarrassedly and said, "Looking for a woman." Then, he seemed to understand the sorrow of his prince. thanked Li Kui and said, "The villain will do it immediately, Master Li, do you want it?" β
Li Kui smiled and shook his head, there was a shortage of water in Western Xia, and women generally didn't take a bath, so he didn't dare to provoke.
But it didn't take long for Li Bingqian's angry roar to come from the courtyard: "Get out, get out of here!" β
As soon as Li Kui lay down, he stared at the unwillingness to do it, and said in his heart: "I can't sleep!" β
He then slipped into Li Bingqian's small courtyard, and before his feet stepped into the courtyard, he smelled a strong smell of wine. It seems that Li Bingqian did not drink alone, but invited dozens of friends to hold a banquet. It floated out along the courtyard wall, but the silence in the courtyard was like a barren cemetery, which made people feel uncomfortable.
When Li Kui entered the courtyard, he saw Li Bingqian sitting under the porch in a dejected manner, in front of him in a mess, his eyes were straight, and his mind was definitely not clear. Li Kui pondered and couldn't ask anything, so he simply walked to Li Bingqian's side, stretched out his big hand and put everything on the back of Li Bingqian's neck, Li Bingqian smiled stupidly, rolled his eyes and fainted.
When Fei Tingdoro saw this scene, he was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out, and he shouted angrily: "Bold, I asked you to persuade the prince, not to let you knock him out!" β
