Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 15 Three Feet → Four Feet

Tai'an City, lower level.

There is no day or night here, and the whole day is shrouded in psychedelic neon lights.

Deep in the narrow alley, Li Buyi was humming a song, feeling relaxed for the first time in a long time.

So even though President Wang told him that recruiting believers was not going smoothly, he did not care too much about it. He just casually lit one of President Wang's subordinates as an incense stick in front of President Wang to motivate President Wang to work harder.

Good, another person is ferried across tonight.

Just then, Li Buyi received news from the church.

He frowned.

His superiors actually asked him to deal with Yangyan Martial Arts School as soon as possible.

This wouldn't work. To take down Yangyan Martial Arts School would mean that he would have to face off against the official forces of Tai'an City.

And that old owner is not easy to deal with.

He watched the video of the battle that night. The opponent was a strong man in the four realms. He was probably trapped in his spiritual realm and unable to break through. His fighting skills were honed to the extreme.

This veteran fourth realm warrior must have two hidden cards that can lead to mutual destruction. He doesn't want to be foolish and fight the opponent to the death.

Li Buyi thought for a moment and edited a message that "the enemy has external aid and is too strong, and needs support." He also added three exclamation marks to emphasize the urgency and seriousness of the situation.

After clicking send, he closed the terminal.

In this way, even if his request was rejected by his superiors, he would not see it.

Buddha said, ignorance is not a sin.

After closing the terminal, Li Buyi felt better.

Thinking of the young man with a deep understanding of Zen and a strong affinity with Buddhism, Li Buyi felt even better.

That blood Buddha was the reward he received for shedding blood for the church in his early years, and it contained a ray of "thoughts" from the powerful people of the church.

When worn by believers, it can protect them from the risk of getting lost in the ocean of the soul and anchor themselves.

For non-believers, it can also subtly suggest and change the wearer's character and guide the wearer into the embrace of the church.

Li Buyi was secretly delighted when he thought that he had the opportunity to develop a "Buddha's disciple" this time.

He doesn't care whether there is a Taoist canon in Tai'an City or not. Even if there is, it will never reach his hands.

But introducing a Buddhist disciple is a real achievement. If you calculate it, it is enough to pave the way for the subsequent mental state.

Li Buyi suddenly stopped and an idea came to his mind.

Should we just ferry the child across?

His eyes lit up.

Speaking of which, what does it feel like to use the flesh and blood of Buddhists to make incense and candles?
no no no...

His expression was a little confused.

No matter how delicious the Buddha's taste is, it cannot compare to the complete inheritance of the Ten Bhumi Bodhisattvas.

That is the master's inheritance, the road to heaven!

Well, the psychological suggestion of blood jade will only take half a month to last, right?

Be more patient, less impetuous, and wait for the flowers to bloom.

Li Buyi comforted himself in his heart.

After all, he is a Buddhist, so I have to be gentle in my methods. I can't be as rough as I used to be, skinning and pulling out the tendons. Otherwise, the Buddhist will hate me, and how can I stay in the church in the future?

……

……

In the inner world.

Ji Jingqiu followed the solution given by the little tree and buried the blood jade under the tree roots.

Strange to say.

He held the jade Buddha in his hand and entered into a state of meditation.

When his mind appeared in the inner world, he was actually holding a blood-colored jade pendant in his hand.

This jade Buddha is obviously extraordinary. It contains some kind of spiritual power, which is why it can appear with him in the inner scene in this form.

Ji Jingqiu thought to himself that the man with a crew cut really had bad intentions.

But no matter what conspiracy this jade Buddha had hidden to murder him, it has now turned into fertilizer for the flowers.

Ji Jingqiu held the tiger cub in his arms and stood beside the small tree with anticipation.

According to Xiaoshu's feedback, the main source of his hunger in the afternoon was not physical, but spiritual.

He practiced breathing techniques in his inner world at noon. With the help of the small tree, his mind and body achieved perfect synchronization, which enabled him to quickly cultivate a strand of Qi.

This is also the second ability of the Bodhi tree as the prototype of martial arts supernatural powers - [Wisdom Light].

With the illumination and blessing of the light of wisdom, practicing all martial arts will be twice as effective with half the effort.

The development of the Pure Land and the maintenance of the inner world include the blessing of the light of wisdom...

All of these rely on the Bodhi tree and require energy.

Just sleeping and resting daily to restore mental strength is no longer enough to support the current loss.

It has tried very hard, but its expenses are still not enough to cover its income.

Simply put, the child is hungry.

And this piece of blood jade is the "food" it needs.

As the blood jade was buried, the branches of the small tree swayed gently, casting clear light all over the ground and exuding a cheerful mood.

Not long after, a leaf slowly grew out on the branch. It was so green that it seemed to be dripping with water, and it swayed lightly on the branch.

Ji Jingqiu was overjoyed. This guy said it was a small tree, but in fact it looked more like a newly planted sapling.

The few branches were bare, with only three shabby leaves on them.

With the nourishment of blood jade, the fourth leaf emerged, a month-on-month increase of 33.3%!

The newly grown leaves drooped slightly, and a drop of blood-red dew condensed on the tip of the leaf, slowly dripping down.

Before Ji Jingqiu could react, the vicious tiger under his palm pounced on its prey and swallowed the drop of blood dew in one gulp.

Ji Jingqiu grabbed it by the scruff of the neck and lifted it into the air. It licked its lips, blinked its pitch-black eyes, and looked around heartlessly.

Ji Jingqiu frowned and observed the tiger cub. He heaved a sigh of relief only after confirming that there were no malignant changes.

According to the feedback from the Bodhi tree, the drop just now was an impurity in the Blood Buddha, a dirty thing, not a bone after the meat was removed!

Unexpectedly, the little guy was so quick-eyed and quick-handed that he rushed forward and swallowed it in one step.

Ji Jingqiu mercilessly gave the silly tiger cub a chestnut and let it go.

Looking at the tiger cub struggling beside him, Ji Jingqiu suddenly realized something.

Why does the space feel more spacious than before?

The Pure Land has expanded?

After some examination, he found that his perception was correct. The range of the Pure Land had expanded from three feet to four feet.

This confirmed his conjecture that the scope of the Pure Land could be expanded.

Directly related to it is the growth of the Bodhi tree.

Ji Jingqiu looked up at the bloody world outside the Pure Land.

He has always been curious about what is outside. Is it also part of the visualization method of the Fire House Buddha Hell?
At that moment, he felt a mysterious calling.

That familiar sense of calling came from a very far away place, calling me to go there.

Just like when the fire in your heart is ignited, it is not strong, but like an undercurrent passing silently across the seabed, or like roots spreading quietly under the grassland, slowly and firmly touching every sensitive nerve.

It seemed that was his hometown. He had been away for a long time, and it was time to return to his homeland.

This feeling made Ji Jingqiu very uncomfortable.

He decisively broke away from the inner scene and his consciousness returned to his body.

The first thing I felt was that the previous surge of hunger subsided.

Secondly, there is the jade Buddha in his hand.

The jade Buddha, which originally emitted a blood-red glow under the moonlight, has dimmed a lot, and the surface seems to be covered with a layer of dust, having lost all its luster.

The corners of the Buddha's mouth, which were raised evilly, also sank inexplicably.

According to Xiaoshu's response, this thing is already a piece of waste and has no collection value.

But Ji Jingqiu did not throw it into the trash can, but carefully kept it.

If I could get more jade Buddhas, wouldn't my Bodhi tree grow faster?
When the tree crown is like a canopy, holding up the sky, won’t the little poison disease be easily controlled?
Come to think of it, that person earlier said that he had a deep understanding of Zen. Could it be related to the [Visualization Diagram of the Buddha's Hell in Fire House]?
Ji Jingqiu thought to himself that this method of visualization sounded related to Buddhism.

It’s a pity that he can’t get in touch with Mr. Mu and Sister Mei now, otherwise he really wants to get to the bottom of it.

Next time we meet, I must ask more indirectly and find out more about this visualization method.

Ji Jingqiu is in a very good mood now.

As the Pure Land expanded, the time spent in the state of visualization should have increased, which meant that he would suffer less.

Of course, this also means that his spiritual realm is one step ahead of his physical body...

Ji Jingqiu adjusted his state and started practicing.

As the clear light from the inner scene shone, he began his afternoon attempt to transform the Fulong Post into his own image.

Have you ever seen the sun rise in Tai'an City before 2 a.m.?
……

The next afternoon.

After finishing a day of standing meditation.

Once again, the sponge was squeezed dry of every last bit of moisture.

Ji Jingqiu, feeling something was wrong, went to find Master Yang with an empty stomach.

Yang Yan pulled out a small piece of his beard and said in shock:

"You developed Qi power? When did it happen?"

"yesterday?"

After hearing Ji Jingqiu's purpose, he carefully examined the former's body.

After a long while, Master Yang frowned and thought, without saying a word.

This made Ji Jingqiu a little panicked.

I am not afraid of the doctor saying that I am sick, I am afraid of the doctor not saying anything!

At this moment, Yang Yan felt incredible.

He checked Ji Jingqiu's innate physique yesterday and could only say it was average. However, in this era, innate physique was not important at all, so he didn't care.

Taking into consideration Ji Jingqiu's poor innate physique and fearing that his progress in standing practice would be slow, he specially selected the Fulong Posture for this little guy.

Although the training process of Fu Long Zhuang is quite painful, its progress in the later stages is the fastest among all the Zhuang Qi exercises.

How is it possible for a person with medium or low physique to develop strong Qi in just one day?
Moreover, he just checked and found that Ji Jingqiu had suffered a considerable loss of energy and blood!

Even if Ji Jingqiu has developed his Qi power, it is still difficult to explain.

Because everyone can see how much this kid eats at noon!
