When Li Fengning woke up, he found himself in a strange room.

In this room, the beams have decayed, the wall paint has peeled off, and the air emits a strange smell that seems to be moldy.

The memory fragments in my mind are being spliced ​​into pieces.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Suddenly, a rough knock on the door came.

Li Fengning recalled and went to open the door.

When I opened the door, I saw a yamen officer.

He remembered that he and a group of workers were forced to go to Lanruo Temple three days ago to participate in the reconstruction of the temple.

The yamen in front of him is responsible for supervising the worker every day.

"What's wrong? Haven't woken up yet!"

Seeing Li Fengning's confused look, the yamen shouted loudly.

"What's wrong, lord?" Li Fengning asked.

"Your neighbor is dead, take him to the mass grave and buried him." Yabu said, pointing to the next room.

Li Fengning was shocked and walked out, and indeed smelled a rotten smell.

Since their workers moved in, people have died every night...

"What are you doing? Go in and carry the body out!"

Seeing that Li Fengning was hesitating, the yamen shouted again.

In this world, the court rules were already in chaos and the officials were greater than the people. Li Fengning did not dare to disobey the yamen officer, so he had to push the door and walk in.

Suddenly, a disgusting stench hits the face, and Li Fengning sees a shriveled corpse lying on the ground.

The body's skin was black, dry and wrinkled, tightly against the bones, and the hair on the scalp was curled and turned white.

Li Fengning held back and didn't vomit, looked away, picked up the straw mat on the ground and covered the corpse.

At this time, another worker who was called by the Yamashi to carry the body with a shovel, walked in, and rolled up the body with Li Fengning with a straw mat.

They carried it to the mass grave behind Lanruo Temple together, dug a hole and buried it.

Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly saw two workers pushing their carts and walking towards the mass grave.

When they were intertwined with these two workers, Li Fengning looked inside curiously, but saw the human head and limbs.

"This...what's going on?" Li Fengning swallowed the gallbladder that had flowed into his throat and asked.

One of the workers who pushed the cart said: "This is the person who escaped last night..."

The escaped people...Li Fengning remembered that they were all workers who were forced to recruit here. If they escape, they would become wanted criminals.

But because people died one after another in the past two nights, some people were afraid, so they ran away while the supervisor's yamen was not here at night.

"Why did they become like this?" Li Fengning asked.

"I guess it's a monster..." The worker's face turned pale: "As soon as I got up this morning, I was called by the government's dog legs to clean it.

"I was wondering what I wanted to clean, so I followed him and walked all the way to the mountain road where I came to Lanruo Temple.

"I saw a large pool of dry blood, with these little things spread on the blood..."

Li Fengning had a goodbye to the worker, went to the well to wash his hands, and went to the front hall to get the dry food for the morning.

After eating half of the dry food, he felt a little nauseous.

It’s really a time travel in the underworld. Staying here may be sucked by ghosts. If you escape, you may be gnawed by monsters in the woods... Li Fengning sighed.

When it was Chenpai, at seven or eight o'clock, the supervisor's yamen urged them to start work.

Li Fengning does sculpture work.

Although his sculpture skills are not ingenious, he can still carve the Buddha statues according to the portrait.

Over the past five days, he has sculpted a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The Buddha statue only has facial features, so it is almost finished carving.

He climbed up the wooden ladder, took out a small chisel specially carved in fine parts and an iron hammer, and carved it towards the face of the Bodhisattva.

The "dingding" hammered for a whole morning, had lunch, and after a while, after a urging by the yamen, he continued to carve again.

As he approached the west mountain, Li Fengning gently knocked the stone hammer and removed a trace of stone chips. He sighed inwardly that he had finally completed the sculpture of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Just as Li Fengning was about to breathe, suddenly, the melodious sings of the Buddhist scriptures, the sound of chanting scriptures, the sound of bells from the temple, and the sound of wooden fish, were mixed in his ears.

A Sanskrit mantra poured into his mind.

——【Mantra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva】

At the same time, a method of sealing a handprint also emerged in his mind.

——【Mantra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva】

Moreover, he had a memory that he had made this handprint many times.

Now as long as he wants, he can skillfully form the [Mantra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva].

According to the new information in his mind, he knew that as long as he silently recites the [Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mantra] in his heart and makes the [Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mantra Mantra Mantra Seal] in his hand, he can eliminate evil ghosts!

Li Fengning was surprised. When he traveled through the underworld, he finally had some things from the world around him.

He wished he could go back to the monk's house now, close the door, and try the ghost-killing handprint.

night.

After Li Fengning had dinner, he returned to the monk's house, and immediately closed the door and silently recited the mantra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in his heart.

At the same time, with both hands together, the mantra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was formed.

However, nothing seems to have happened.

Do you have to use ghosts to see the effect? ​​Li Fengning thought in his heart, and groped in the fire and lit the oil lamp on the ground.

In an instant, the room was dim.

The room was empty except for a straw mat.

He sat down on the ground with his legs crossed, thinking about the plug-in he got today.

Can you get a reward if you carve a Buddha statue?... I wonder if you distinguish between stone carvings or wood carvings?

He thought to himself, planning to find a piece of wood to try it.

He brought a large chisel and hammer for carving Buddha statues, pushed the door and walked out, looked around and found that no one noticed him, so he went to a side hall to find a piece of wood, then chiseled a piece of wood on it, put it in his arms, and walked back.

He didn't dare to go into the woods next to Lanruo Temple to find wood.

Because he was afraid that he was chiseling wood, the vine suddenly came alive, hugged his neck, and then dragged himself into the depths of the woods...

When he returned to the monk's house, he picked up a small chisel, and began to carve wood with the light.

Who are you carving?

As soon as this thought arises, the next thought follows one after another.

You are the only one, Tathagata Buddha!

Li Fengning carved it on wood with a small chisel with a small chisel with a painting and sculpture of the Buddha he had seen before.

His spirit instantly condensed and his attention was all on the Buddha statue in his hand.

I don’t know how long it took, but he only knew that he had added lamp oil once in the middle.

His little chisel gently clenched the eyebrows and eyes of the Buddha Tathagata.

A Buddha sitting cross-legged is carved out.

Suddenly, the sound of Sanskrit singing, chanting scriptures, wooden fish, ringing bells and other sounds rang in my ears.

It's just much smaller than the daytime.

The sounds during the day were like a sudden tsunami, pounced towards me, and now the sounds were like a stream of water flowing towards me.

No information emerged in his mind.

However, the moment of picking off the last trace of wood chips with a small chisel.

A tiny warm current flowed into his meridians along his small chisel.

At that moment, he found that he could view his meridians internally.
Chapter completed!
