I receive courier in Datang

Chapter 148

"Can Tanyue carve?" Master Du Shun asked.

"Why, I just gave you a piece of rotten stone without any aura. Now, what I want to give you is a carved Buddha statue. Which one do you think is better?" Li Chengqian asked.

That's true, but if Li Chengqian's carving skills were not good, wouldn't it be the end?
For a good piece of marble to be wasted like this, Master Du Shun's heart would bleed.

"It's better to choose a stone first." Master Du Shun said.

He decided to choose the stone first, and then talk about other things.

"Find me a set of monk robes." Li Chengqian said.

"Why?" Master Du Shun asked.

"I sneaked out." Li Chengqian said.

Master Du Shun sighed, of course he didn't know that Li Er had asked Li Chengqian to handle government affairs.

However, it is really not good for Li Chengqian to sneak out, after all, Li Yuan just passed away.

He had no choice but to find a monk's robe for Li Chengqian and let Li Chengqian wear it.

This monk's robe is very elegant, and even has a wide hat, which is convenient for Li Chengqian to wrap himself up.

Not long after, Li Chengqian brought Master Du Shun to Lu Zihou's home.

When Lu Zihou saw Li Chengqian, he almost fell to the ground.

He is not like a monk who doesn't care about worldly affairs. He has many acquaintances in the court.

He knew that Li Er was too sad because of his father's death and did not care about state affairs and asked Li Chengqian to handle government affairs on his behalf.

Then, Li Chengqian ran out carelessly and came to him.

Why don't you harm him if you want to die!He's still young and doesn't want to die!
"Let me introduce you, this is Master Du Shun from Huayan Temple." Li Chengqian said.

Lu Zihou was speechless, of course he knew Master Du Shun.

He anxiously said: "Your Highness, why did you sneak out? Did the saint agree?"

Li Chengqian rolled his eyes: "You saw that I ran out secretly, and you asked me if the saint agreed. Are you stupid?"

Lu Zihou: "???"

"Negative emotion value from Lu Zihou, +125"

Is what Li Chengqian said still human?He is worried about Li Chengqian!And his own life.

"Your Highness, it's better to go back earlier, the country can't be left alone for a day." Lu Zihou said.

Master Du Shun looked at Li Chengqian in surprise.

Li Chengqian said: "Why are you panicking, my father is fine, I just took this opportunity to give myself a vacation, since I can slip out, I can slip back."

Lu Zihou had no choice but to say: "Since that's the case, Your Highness should hurry up and say what to do, and go back as soon as you're done."

"It's nothing, just helping Master Du Shun carve a Buddha statue, and I'll go back after carving it." Li Chengqian said.

Lu Zihou looked at Master Du Shun, the meaning in his eyes was obvious.

Li Chengqian is messing around, why do you, the abbot of a big temple, follow Li Chengqian to mess around?
Master Du Shun looked helplessly at Lu Zihou, and he said that there was nothing he could do!
After a while, the three of them arrived at the warehouse.

Lu Zihou dismissed all the servants and prevented them from seeing Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian said: "Here are all the marbles. You pick one and I will start carving on the spot."

Master Du Shun sighed and began to choose.

In fact, he had his eye on a few pieces before, but now he's just looking for them.

Li Chengqian said to Lu Zihou: "Bring me any knives you have at home, and I will find something convenient to use."

The corners of Lu Zihou's eyes twitched, what the gods brought them all, and found something convenient to use!Don't you need a special carving knife for carving?
"How about I buy a set of carving knives?" Lu Zihou said.

Li Chengqian wanted to play, so he naturally wanted to let Li Chengqian have a good time.

"Okay, go buy it quickly, I'm impatient and can't wait." Li Chengqian said.

Lu Zihou hurried to buy it. Fortunately, he is the elder of the chamber of commerce, so it is very easy to buy a carving knife.

Master Du Shun pulled out three marble stones, each with a mysterious artistic conception on them. Li Chengqian couldn't help but clapped his hands after seeing them.

"Okay, these three pieces of marble are very good, I will give you one piece, and I will take the rest." Li Chengqian said.

"No, no, if Tan Yue breaks one piece, I will take one of the remaining two pieces." Master Du Shun said.

Li Chengqian laughed dryly: "Hehe, just wait and see, I want to let you know what supernatural work is!"

Lu Zihou came back with two sets of carving tools.

Li Chengqian picked a piece of marble and began to meditate.

The two whispered to each other.

"I hope he just sits like this, and then feels that he can't do it." Lu Zihou said.

Master Du Shun was a little suspicious: "It seems interesting, maybe he can make a good statue."

Lu Zihou silently stayed away from Master Du Shun, he felt that the old monk was also crazy.

"I understand!" Li Chengqian shouted.

The two were attracted by Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian said: "A good artist should figure out what carving is like before he starts carving!"

The two looked at each other, as if this was indeed the case.

Li Chengqian hugged the marble and shouted: "I want to hug this marble!"

Master Du Shun: "???"

Lu Zihou: "???"

"I want to smell this marble!"

Li Chengqian put his nose on the marble and smelled it carefully.

Master Du Shun, Lu Zihou: "..."

"I want to lick this marble!" Li Chengqian said.

After he finished speaking, he really licked the marble.

"It's a little cold, with an earthy smell." Li Chengqian smacked his lips.

"Negative emotion value from Lu Zihou, +125"

"Negative emotion value from Master Dushun, +124"

The two of them took it, they must be sick!

"I want to wash this marble!"

Li Chengqian took out Rejoice, fetched clean water, and began to bathe Yunshi.

"I want to chat with it, hello, Miss Yunshi, I like you, Shi, you are so beautiful!" Li Chengqian said.

Now the two of them knew that Li Chengqian was here to play, and this wasn't carving at all, okay?

Li Chengqian shouted: "I've made up my mind! I want to carve a Jigong Living Buddha!"

Master Du Shun was stunned when he heard this, what kind of Buddha is Jigong Living Buddha?He has never heard of it!
Li Chengqian picked up the carving knife and used all his strength to carve the marble in front of him.

The two of them didn't think it was very powerful at first, but gradually, they were dumbfounded.

The small carving knife cuts iron like mud in Li Chengqian's hands.

The marble is very hard, but it is like tofu.

A vivid living Buddha Ji Gong appeared in front of the three of them, lying on his side, holding a broken fan, squinting his eyes and laughing loudly, as if laughing at the idiots in the world.

So expressive, so vivid!It's almost like being alive!
Master Du Shun murmured, "Which Buddha is Jigong Living Buddha? Why have I never heard of it?"

"Jigong Living Buddha is the reincarnation of Subduing Dragon Arhat, a monk who practiced in the world." Li Chengqian said.

If someone asked him to carve a Buddha statue, would it be okay for him to carve an Arhat?

Lu Zihou asked: "Then this is an Arhat statue?"

Li Chengqian was taken aback, yes, this is an Arhat statue, not a Buddha statue!
He was very dissatisfied, picked up the hammer, and was about to smash it down.

Master Du Shun hastily shouted: "Be merciful!"

Li Chengqian stopped: "This Buddha statue has failed, you should take a piece of marble back."

Master Du Shun hurriedly said: "No, this Buddha statue is almost alive. I want it. After I take it back, I want everyone in Chang'an to come and see it!"

Li Chengqian was taken aback, is this okay?It seems that he is indeed a great artist!
