Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 87: Worship the True God

Li Chengxi had no idea what kind of trouble the Ninth Section had encountered. He was more concerned about how to get a good night's sleep.

After getting Qian Sen's advice, Li Chengxi felt that he had to go out today.

After breakfast, Li Chengxi did not open the shop as usual, but took Aurday and the other person on the bus.

Compared to the last time I went to buy clothes and only took two or three stops, this time I took multiple stops, which is almost equivalent to running from one end of the city to the other.

The city where Li Chengxi lives has a flat terrain, and it is basically a vast plain at first glance.

But there are mountains on the Great Plains, but their height may only be considered hills.

It is said that this place was an important place in ancient times. A city was built here during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. Archaeologists have also unearthed many stone tools here.

However, due to the long time, the ancient city was not preserved. In the new century, in order to develop tourism, the local government rebuilt many ancient facilities.

These include temples and monasteries.

The reason why they are mentioned separately is because they are two different places.

One is Xingguo Temple and the other is General Temple.

When Qian Sen asked Li Chengxi to go to the temple to ask for a talisman, this was the first place he thought of.

Since Xingguo Temple was the closest and had the most worshippers, Li Chengxi took Oldie into the temple first.

Even though it was only a little after seven in the morning and it was not a holiday, the temple was still bustling with people. They were all old men and women who came to burn incense and worship Buddha. The two young ones, Li Chengxi and A'erdai, were particularly conspicuous.

Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that Oldie is so beautiful.

The girl kept whispering "Wow" as soon as she entered the room. It might be because she had never seen such an architectural style before and found it very novel.

"What is this place?"

“A temple dedicated to gods and Buddhas.”

"Oh, the temple, right?"

As Aldea looked around, she said to Li Chengxi:

"Where is your statue located?"

"..."

Orday’s idea was very simple. Li Chengxi was a god, and this was a temple, so there must be his statue.

"No, I'm not accepting offerings here. What's offered here is ..."

It seemed a bit difficult to explain to her what Buddha and Bodhisattva are.

Li Chengxi was thinking about what words to use when Ao Er Dai turned her attention to the incense in the hands of the old man and woman.

"What is that? It smells a bit strange."

Fortunately, she didn't pursue the issue of the statue.

The history of this Xingguo Temple can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, but it was later abandoned and was only rebuilt after the 21st century.

As a local, Li Chengxi seldom comes here and has only heard of it.

See you today...

He was glad he had never been here before.

Although it still has an ancient style, Li Chengxi feels that it looks like a monk playing with his mobile phone and eating McDonald's, which has a sense of disharmony.

But since I'm here, I still have to pay my respects.

Because there were so many people burning incense, Li Chengxi and A'erdai waited in line for almost an hour.

After burning incense and bowing to the gilded Buddha, Li Chengxi took Oldie to a nearby old monk to seek answers to his questions.

"Master, I would like to ask for an object that can ward off evil spirits."

The old monk seemed to have seen through the world and smiled without saying a word as he took off a wooden bracelet and handed it to Li Chengxi.

The temple doesn't look very presentable, but the master is a master. He doesn't talk nonsense at all and doesn't scare people by saying things like "you have a bad omen" or something like that.

Just when Li Chengxi was thinking it was reliable, he saw the master take out a QR code from under his monk's robe...

Really keeping up with the times!
With a slightly strange expression, Li Chengxi scanned the code to pay, and then he found that the price was set in the QR code, and a wooden bracelet actually sold for more than two hundred yuan.

This thing only costs 15 yuan on the street stall, and you can bargain it down to less than yuan. But on second thought, after all, it is a personal item of the master, so it must be very rare.

Convincing himself with this reason, Li Chengxi paid the money and took Oldie out. He also planned to go to the nearby General Temple to take a look.

But what he didn't see was that as soon as Li Chengxi turned around, the old monk took out another identical bracelet from his robe and put it on his wrist, waiting for the next destined person...

It’s a good thing Li Chengxi didn’t see it, otherwise it wouldn’t even have the effect of psychological comfort, and all that would be left was “shit”.

But also because he didn't see it, when Li Chengxi turned around and left, a young monk walked up to Dashi and whispered something in a low voice.

"What? Cracked?"

When the master heard this, he quickly followed the young monk to the main hall. In order to prevent the believers from seeing his panic, he deliberately slowed down his pace when entering the hall and put on a smile that showed he had seen through the world.

He had a smile on his face, but he was actually very nervous.

Following the little monk into the main hall and around to the back, we could clearly see a terrible crack on the back of the Buddha statue in the hall. Since the statue was hollow, the crack shattered inwards like a hole in an egg.

"When did you find out?"

"Just now, when I was sweeping the floor here, I saw some debris."

"Go call someone to come and see if it can be repaired, but keep quiet and get these pilgrims out first."

The master's response was accurate. He was not afraid that believers' faith would collapse after seeing the Buddha statue shattered, but he was afraid that the statue would fall and hurt people.

This temple doesn’t look like a temple, and the monks don’t look like monks, but the master is indeed a true master.

Living people are more important than dead things.

But precisely because he was a true master, the old monk couldn't understand why the Buddha statue suddenly shattered.

"Could it be that a true god has worshipped the Buddha statue before, and the Buddha statue cannot withstand the true god's worship?"

As the thought came to his mind, the old monk burst into laughter.

How could there be a true God in this world? Maybe the quality of the Buddha statue is not up to standard...

"Brother Li, why didn't you open the door this morning?"

"I'm going out to play. It's a rare occasion for my cousin to come over, so I must take her out for a walk."

Xue Wenshu, who was completely unaware of Li Chengxi's remarks, expressed his understanding.

He went to Xingguo Temple and then to Jiangjun Temple, both of which were crowded places. Li Chengxi felt that he hadn't seen so many people in several years since he graduated from college, and he felt a little dizzy.

On the other hand, Oldie was very interested. She watched, asked questions and took notes. She still looked unsatisfied when she returned home. She might have treated it as a trip.

I was busy from early morning until afternoon, and only came back after having lunch outside.

Although it was a hassle, the goal was achieved.

I bought a bracelet at Xingguo Temple and a palm-sized bronze sword at Jiangjun Temple. The people there said that if I hang it on the door, evil spirits will not dare to approach.

Even if it's just a psychological effect, at least Li Chengxi can sleep well.

"Why didn't you order a Coke today? Did your mom nag you?"

Li Chengxi felt a little strange when he saw Xue Wenshu walking towards the cashier with a bottle of sports drink.

Xue Wenshu said mysteriously:
"I can't drink anything carbonated today. I have something to do this afternoon."

Li Chengxi was a little confused. When did this kid ever care about this?

"Are you confused in your sleep?"

"No, look, Brother Li."

Xue Wenshu opened his phone and saw a photo of a girl in a high school uniform.

"My friend said he would introduce me to a pretty girl while we play basketball this afternoon."

"..."

Li Chengxi was speechless.

You have really strong mental qualities. It's only been a few days, and you've been able to make a seamless switch?
