Wandao long distance

Chapter 173 Addicted
At the fifth floor, all visions disappeared.

Here, it has truly become an ordinary wooden building, and there are no more things that make Li Qi ashamed.

But this wooden building is extremely luxuriously decorated, with gold and jade on the four sides, agarwood as a cover, sesame grass coating the walls, fungus debris and algae wells, hanging flower buds, and many clay sculptures below.

Clay sculpture canopy, pipa, subduing magic pestle, nine-ringed tin staff, Liuyun support, multi-vase, pagoda bell, lotus leaf petals, Pemba vase, dragon inscription pearl plate, treasure streamer, square flag, Habali drum, Kabala bowl.

None of them are authentic, all are fakes made of clay sculptures, colored and baked.

Under the many clay sculptures, there is a Buddha seat, and there are Buddhist niches, thrones, and treasure beds inside.

In the altar, there is a Buddha statue enshrined, which is about one foot less, very small.

However, although it is small, it uses a lot of materials and is very fine. The materials that Li Qi can see alone include rubber, green powder, alum, ocher, cinnabar, realgar, stone yellow, gamboge, rouge, red gold, and gold. .

These materials are all ground into powder, made into slurry, and painted on the skin of the Buddha statue to make it lifelike, just like a real person, and the skin looks like it can really have a soft touch.

The headbands, corollas, earrings, bracelets, and tassels on the Buddha statues are all exquisite, as if real.

Around the shrine, there are colorful murals, all of which are gold lacquer oil paintings. The main subjects of the murals are lion roars, elephants, god horses, god mules, god cows, fan statues, Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and monks.

The content of the painting is an appearance of all living beings living in harmony, with monks as the center, and all things are in harmony, all in the landscape, trees, bridges, colorful clouds, and landscapes.

The edges of many mythical beasts spread around, but tigers, leopards, bears, dogs, sheep, wolves, cranes, warblers, and parrots gradually spread outward until the end of the mural.

The entire Buddhist altar is six feet wide, two feet deep, and three feet high. In front of the altar, there are two people.

One person sat cross-legged, with an open scripture book in front of him. He closed his eyes, his expression was intoxicated, and there was a golden light on his body.

This person was wearing an official uniform, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to sit here without even having time to change.

The other person is standing, dressed in white with cloud patterns on it, with a chic demeanor, holding a scripture book in his hand and reading something carefully.

This standing man looks very handsome. Li Qi is a bit dwarfed by him. The white clothes set off his temperament incomparably. However, from the style point of view, this is not like the clothes of Bailin Kingdom at all, not even the clothes of Bailin Kingdom. Like Baiyue's clothing.

The pendants, moiré patterns, patterns, etc. on his body were all looks that Li Qi had never seen before.

It's just, it's really nice.

In addition, this person is a handsome guy, which makes people feel like a breeze.

Compared to the middle-aged man in official uniform who was mesmerized, almost immersed in sleep, and completely unaware of Li Qi, this young Pianpian immediately put away his book when he saw Li Qi coming.

"Ah, it's interesting that someone can pass through the lower four floors. Who are you?" The young master Pian Pian put the book away, put it on the altar in front of the altar, and walked towards Li Qi.

As soon as he walked over, Li Qi felt a strong oppression.

It's as if...

what is it then?

Li Qi couldn't describe it.

But he felt restrained, subconsciously restrained when facing this person.

It's like, when a normal person is alone, he feels very comfortable, maybe even unkempt.

But if he speaks at a very important meeting, then unless this person is really big-hearted, otherwise he will probably be more restrained, pay attention to his manners, and pay attention to his speech.

It is this feeling.

He felt himself subconsciously straightening his back and holding his head high.

This feeling was very bad, which caused Li Qi's expression to change. He channeled his martial arts internal energy, broke free forcefully, and messed up his hair and collar.

Originally, his hair was bundled, but now it was torn apart, and it became disheveled. As a result, there was more "chaos" on him than "order", and the sense of restraint disappeared immediately.

After breaking away from this restraint, Li Qi was still full of vigilance in his heart.

"Your Excellency?" Li Qi took two steps back indistinctly, staring at him cautiously.

"Wang Boyan, I'm sorry to scare you, but I was a little surprised to see someone able to pass through the fourth floor downstairs." That young master Pianpian said.

The young man in white, who called himself Wang Baiyan, stood in front of Li Qi with a curious expression on his face: "The four floors downstairs, the Arhat Hall checks whether your mind is pure or not, the Bodhisattva Hall checks whether you have karma behind you, and the Three Buddha Hall tests your mind and patience." , only the scriptures do not have protection, but it can barely be regarded as a test of determination."

He kept looking at Li Qi: "There is no vision all the way up, it means that you have no hostility and distracting thoughts in your heart, there is no cause and effect in the past life and the afterlife, and your mental endurance can stand up to the Buddha's light, and you are not greedy for scriptures. Those who have experienced so many things, if you are not born as a Buddha, otherwise you must be an outstanding person. You don’t look like someone in a high position. You have calluses on your hands. Although your clothes are clean, your spine is a bit distorted. Heavy physical work doesn't look like delicate skin and tender meat."

"I guess, you should have had a low status in the past, and then seized the opportunity to rise up with your talent, but your cultivation base has not improved much, so you are both an outstanding person and a Buddhist disciple. Brother, you have the roots of wisdom." Wang Baiyan looked at Li Qi sighed.

Li Qi was ashamed, but he had business to do, so he didn't answer, but asked this Wang Baiyan: "Your Excellency is joking, I came here with a mission, I don't have time to joke, dare to ask this one here, is it right?" This Guangyang Sima?"

As he asked, he pointed to the middle-aged man who was indulging in Buddhist scriptures.

But Li Qi did not relax his vigilance, he observed this person at the same time.

This person seems to be a ninth rank?
But what kind of path is he practicing? I haven't seen it before. He doesn't look like a martial artist, nor does he have the ghostly aura of a witch, and he doesn't look like a person in the Taoist sect.

But Li Qi always felt very familiar with that restrained feeling.

Fortunately, the opponent is only rank nine, so this kind of restraint can't really suppress him.

"Exactly, he is Guangyang Sima, but now he is addicted to Buddhism and has no intention of secular world. Now you may not be able to wake him up." Wang Baiyan said to Li Qi.

"Can't you wake up?" Li Qi's expression darkened, and then he stopped caring about Wang Baiyan, went straight to Guangyang Sima, and pushed him.

But with a light push, the other party still sat cross-legged, with an obsessed expression, and ignored Li Qi.

Seeing this, Li Qi pushed with all his might.

However, this time, the surrounding golden light burst out a repulsive force, which dispelled Li Qi's thrust and did not push at all.

Li Qi took a deep breath, in order to move Li Liuyi, he waved his fist, bursting out with tens of thousands of catties of force, and smashed it down with one punch!
But this time, the golden light burst out directly, Li Qi didn't notice it for a moment, he was directly pushed away by the golden light, stepped back more than ten steps, pushed to the edge of the wooden tower, and then stopped.

"Look, I told you, I'm afraid you won't be able to wake up." Wang Baiyan watched from the side, and said so.

"How did this happen? Golden light body protection, this is not a common thing." Li Qi was not injured, and he fell from the wall with a solemn expression.

Broken, what's going on?

When reading the scriptures, the golden light body protection shows that he put it down by himself, and usually just entered an important stage of practice, so he put down a layer of protection to prevent others from disturbing him.

In other words, it was Sima Guangyang himself who did not want to be disturbed on his own initiative and blocked the outside world.

"What's your hurry?" Wang Boyan asked curiously.

But Li Qi didn't have time to pay attention to him, could this person sign for himself instead of Guangyang Sima?
So Li Qi just stood up: "The military situation is urgent, please forgive me for not being able to tell the truth, and leave."

After he finished speaking, he immediately set off and went downstairs without stopping.

He is going to find monk Zen Zhi.

Tianning Temple is his territory here, so he would naturally go to Monk Chanzhi for this kind of matter. If Monk Chanzhi can't do it, then I'm afraid he will have to go back to the city immediately and go to the Guangyang prefect to make a decision.

Running all the way down the pagoda, Li Qi only felt it was absurd.

Absurd, extremely absurd!
Yizhou Sima, instead of doing business, came here to study Buddhism, and he seemed to have gained a lot from it.

If you really want to specialize in these things, you should resign!
Taking up his position and not doing anything, maybe he was also responsible for the chaos on the front line.

Negligence of duty in such an important position is simply disregarding human life.

Li Qi ran all the way down, but saw that monk Chan Zhi was sweeping the floor.

He walked forward and took the initiative to say to Zen Zhi: "Master Chan Zhi, Guangyang Sima is intoxicated with Buddhism and ignores the world. Can you help me wake it up? , I have heard that the master is a kind and good person, and he usually saves only one person, so he shouldn't just sit back and watch the danger of a hundred thousand lives?"

Hearing the words, Zen Zhi raised his head: "Almsgiver, can you tell the poor monk a little bit about what you said? If you don't know the details, the poor monk may not be able to judge whether you should help you or not."

Li Qi thought for a while, and then said: "There are monsters attacking the town, and the people are evacuated urgently. Hundreds of thousands of people have to move out, but the army rations are not enough, so Guangyang City has to allocate rations, but all the rations must be approved by Master Sima. , at the moment he is stuck in cultivation, but the military situation is urgent, and I hope the master will help him."

When Li Qi spoke, he couldn't stop looking at Zen Zhi. To be honest, he didn't really trust this monk.

But what I didn't expect was that Chan Zhi agreed with Li Qi's words.

After hearing Li Qi finished speaking, he actually said urgently: "So that's the case, it's really an urgent matter, the poor monk will help the benefactor to wake him up."

Then, he took Li Qi upstairs quickly.

When he got upstairs, he stepped forward quickly and pushed Sima Yang, "Benefactor Qian, Donor Qian, wake up quickly, wake up quickly."

Guangyang Sima's golden light burst out again, but this time it was directly broken by Chan Zhi, who then pushed him away.

"Who is it!!?" Sima Guangyang was furious and got up immediately.

Li Qi and Wang Baiyan's expressions changed, they both closed their eyes at the same time, and then fled towards the door.

The anger of the seventh-rank powerhouse, these two ninth-ranks are not even qualified to look at it, so be careful to look at it twice and your heart will be broken.

Death is not inevitable, but great damage to cultivation base is certain.

But before they could run away, they saw Monk Chan Zhi put his palms together and chanted the Buddha's name softly.

Amidst the Buddha's voice, a golden light appeared under his feet.

There are many wondrous flowers, made of the golden color of Jambudha, like a spinning wheel of fire, with great light, transformed into banners, banners and covers of immeasurable jewels.

There is also a lotus flower, reunited and equal to twelve petal leaves, playing the sound of the Dharma, its sound is subtle, talking about suffering, emptiness, impermanence, and non-self, and the golden subtle light is gushing out. The [-] veins are like a painting in the sky, each vein has [-] rays of light, which can be seen clearly.

There are also musical instruments, suspended in the void, like a heavenly jeweled banner, and they sing without drums. Among these sounds, they all say chanting Buddha, chanting Dharma, and chanting monks and monks.

This illusion flashed by, but Guangyang Sima's anger disappeared completely, his mind was clear, and his face was ashamed: "I lost my mind, master, I don't know why you called me?"

"Virtuous man, this is not the fault of sentient beings. This is affliction and blame. A wise man looks at himself well and is not angry with all sentient beings. I have no reason to blame you, but I am always angry, and my heart is full of filth, blinding my sanctified pure heart. You can’t see everything clearly.” Chan Zhi clasped his hands together and said to Guangyang Sima.

"Qian Bin was taught, but I don't know what the master meant by waking me up?" Guangyang Sima calmed down and asked.

Seeing this, Chan Zhi turned around and looked at Li Qi and the others who had just escaped: "The benefactor Qian has awakened, please tell the situation quickly, the poor monk will avoid it for a while."

After saying that, Monk Chan Zhi was about to exit the fifth floor.

Li Qi quickly expressed his thanks: "Thank you for your help, Master, and for your protection."

"Thank you for your protection." Wang Boyan also nodded in gratitude.

Ruowu Zenzhi took a shot to block the anger before, and the two of them decided that something would happen here.

"No need, is Wang Shi mainly going down with the poor monk? After all, it seems that Donor Qian and Donor Li have something important to discuss." Monk Chanzhi said.

"Alright, then I'll go down with Master."

Li Qi, on the other hand, took a deep breath after hearing this sentence.

He didn't tell Chanzhi his name.

How does Zen wisdom know?And he called out as if nothing had happened?

It's just that he didn't point out this point, but watched the other party leave, then closed the door, walked up to Guangyang Sima, and said under the suspicious eyes of the other party: "Master Sima, the military situation is important!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Sima Guangyang to answer, he told a lot about the White Rhinoceros Army, and also told about the relocation of more than [-] people.

Then, he took out the token and the military flag, and then took out the official document written in advance: "I also ask Mr. Sima to sign and seal, so that I can go to collect the food and grass."

"Just this kind of thing? You came to disturb my Qingxiu? It's just nonsense! In the future, you can go to Situ for this kind of thing, not me!" Guangyang Sima seemed very annoyed, but he managed to suppress his anger, and with a big stroke of his pen, After imprinting the mark again, he waved Li Qi away, and he picked up the Buddhist scriptures again.

Seeing this, Li Qi sighed, but didn't say much.

He went straight downstairs and said goodbye to Zen Zhi.

Wang Baiyan seemed to want to talk to him, but Li Qi didn't have that much time to spare. He simply said something perfunctory, then quickly descended the mountain, rode on his old horse, and headed towards the military grain warehouse.
