Becoming a God Starts From Planting a Bodhi Tree

Chapter 13 Is there an egg collar?

Dusk fell on the horizon.

The amber dusk solidified in the sky, and the streets were shrouded in the afterglow of twilight, coated with a layer of warm light.

The snack street was packed with people tonight and was more lively than ever.

Ji Jingqiu was slurping hot and sour noodles and learned from Mrs. Qiu in the rice noodle shop that there were people from the lower classes doing religious propaganda.

"Religious propaganda? What church?"

Ji Jingqiu asked curiously.

The federation of this era did not prohibit the spread of religion, but had many supportive policies.

This has also led to the fact that many temples actually stand in prosperous and advanced urban areas like Tai'an City.

In the official name of the Federation, the so-called gods are called "Human Unified Thought Body".

To this end, the federation has also established a special department called the "Religious Administration."

The power of this department is said to be quite high, and it even overrides the Federal Security Service when necessary.

"They say it's some Buddhism religion, but the people who come to promote it all have big arms. At first glance, they are just prostitutes selling dog meat." Aunt Qiu curled her lips.

"The Buddhism?"

Ji Jingqiu frowned, thinking that she had never heard of it before. It seemed like what Aunt Qiu said, it was another deception created by the guys at the lower level.

The most popular religious groups these days are gang organizations.

After eating a bowl of hot and sour noodles, Ji Jingqiu felt quite appetizing. He stood at the door and took a look, and said in surprise:

"It feels like there are a lot of people joining in the fun tonight!"

Not far away, a group of people gathered around, and from time to time a man's strong voice came from inside, constantly asking everyone to line up in an orderly manner.

Aunt Qiu pursed her lips: "This group of people are smart. They receive a religious propaganda book, leave their name and contact information, and they will give flour and eggs. I heard that if they are destined, they will also give a set of exquisite jewelry."

And an egg collar? !

Ji Jingqiu suddenly realized, no wonder there was such a big battle!

This is simply taking the life of the people!

"Aqiu, hurry up and get one. If it's too late, you won't be able to get it. People from the Public Security Department will be here later." Aunt Qiu suddenly gave him a push.

"Public Security Department?" Ji Jingqiu was confused.

Aunt Qiu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "The old man surnamed Wang was so tired that he said that this group of people must not be good people, and that it was probably some evil cult that had changed its face to deceive people, so I called the police. Aqiu, please go a little later, maybe you can all It’s not your turn.”

Ji Jingqiu subconsciously looked at Laowang's fried restaurant not far away.

Grandpa Wang is still ruthless!

He wouldn't join in the fun, since his family didn't eat much eggs and flour anyway.

After touching his newly appetized belly, Ji Jingqiu began to look for food.

Just halfway through eating, there was an obvious commotion not far away.

"Don't move!"

"Hold your heads with your hands, everyone squat down!"

"Everyone give way!"

…

He shouted loudly.

Patrolmen gathered from both sides of the street and began to hunt down the propagandists who were distributing flour and eggs.

However, there are still many residents who are joining in the fun, including many elderly people, and it is difficult for the patrol to force the way.

This allowed those big men with flowery arms to seize the opportunity and shout "No limit to flour and eggs for everyone, first come first served", making the situation uncontrollable.

Someone deliberately tore the flour packaging, threw it high into the air, and then fled in all directions. The scene was full of chaos.

Ji Jingqiu stuffed a chicken wing into rice in one bite, puffed up her cheeks, and watched the show while eating.

Suddenly, someone behind him tapped him on the shoulder.

"Donor, are you interested in learning more about Buddhism?"

A man stood behind him, with a short head, a sickly pale face, and upturned lips. He was obviously smiling, but it gave people a cold and refreshing feeling.

Ji Jingqiu looked back at the patrol officers who were scattered around, and said in surprise:

"Don't you want to run away?"

The short-haired man pursed his lips and smiled: "The young monk has not violated the law during this trip, so there is no need to run away."

Little monk?

Ji Jingqiu was stunned.

Is this guy still a monk? Then why does he still have hair? He seems to be a fake monk.

"The donor possesses a deep sense of Zen and has a predestined relationship with my Buddha. I wonder if this young monk is qualified to be the donor's guide?"

The short-haired man's eyes looked expectant, and his smile grew stronger, but Ji Jingqiu felt that there was an indescribable fanaticism in this guy's expression, which made him feel psychologically uncomfortable.

"Sorry, I'm not ready to join a religion at the moment." Ji Jingqiu refused.

The short-haired man took a step forward, getting closer and closer to Ji Jingqiu. His expression seemed sincere and sincere, but Ji Jingqiu instinctively retreated. "Aqiu, your fried noodles are ready!"

Coincidentally, the owner of the fried noodle shop nearby said hello, and a patrolman came along the street to search for this place.

The short-haired man looked regretful: "That's a pity, but the donor has a deep relationship with Buddha, and will inevitably join Buddhism in the end. The young monk gave this thing to the donor, which can be regarded as forming a good relationship in advance."

Before Ji Jingqiu could refuse, a piece of warm jade was stuffed into his hand.

Look down.

It was a jade Buddha pendant. The Buddha's hands were in seals, his face was kind and solemn, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a compassionate smile.

Ji Jingqiu looked up to look for the person to return it, but saw no one.

He looked around and saw that the short-haired man had disappeared.

This guy…

Ji Jingqiu felt a little wary.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

This person's words and deeds are very suspicious. It's understandable that he would give eggs and flour. How could he give jade to someone for the first time?

Either he has an agenda or he is harboring evil intentions.

There was a vague omen in his heart, urging him to get rid of the jade Buddha as soon as possible, but when he rubbed the jade Buddha in his hand, his heart was filled with reluctance, as if this jade Buddha was extremely precious to him.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly felt wary. Where did this feeling of disobedience come from?

Could it be that this piece of jade is affecting me?

With a serious look on his face, he began to fall into concentration, introspecting his state of mind and checking whether there were any external fluctuations that affected his state of mind.

He seemed to be stepping into endless darkness.

In the dark, a heartfire swayed without wind, conveying some uneasy feelings. However, this uneasiness was quickly swept away by a round of clear glass light.

Ji Jingqiu looked strange after clarifying the source of the abnormality in his heart.

The fire in his heart warned him that the jade Buddha was unknown, but it was quickly suppressed by the Bodhi tree, and then clearly told him that this jade Buddha was useful to him!

This surprised Ji Jingqiu.

The Bodhi tree is not only the foundation of the Pure Land world, but also the prototype of martial arts and supernatural powers accompanying the "Fire House Buddha Hell Visualization Picture".

It is called the light of wisdom, possessing great wisdom that illuminates all darkness.

Its first ability is to suppress all negative buffs at the spiritual level.

Since it is its demand, there is no interference or influence from external forces.

Even though this jade Buddha has an ominous connotation, it is harmless and useful to oneself.

Ji Jingqiu felt certain.

Anyone can lie to themselves, but Xiaoshu will never lie to himself.

Then keep it for now.

After putting away the Jade Buddha, Ji Jingqiu continued to eat along the street and filled his stomach before returning home.

…

midnight.

Ji Jingqiu woke up from a deep sleep.

Besides feeling refreshed, I was just hungry.

Ji Jingqiu fiddled around in the kitchen, ordered a bowl of noodles, and brought it back to the house.

But after eating the noodles, my hunger increased instead of decreasing.

Appetizer noodles?

But why are I so hungry?

I obviously ate a lot tonight.

Ji Jingqiu was puzzled. Is his mind a side effect of Zhuang Gong?

He felt the energy in his body, and it seemed that... it was indeed a little stronger than in the afternoon?

He thought he had found the reason.

The foundation of Qi Jin is Qi and blood, and Qi and blood need to be consumed to strengthen Qi Jin.

Ji Jingqiu was a little worried. It is a good thing to be diligent in martial arts, but if this kind of diligence comes at the expense of being hungry or even having a dented wallet, it would not be so pleasant.

Do I need to always have high-energy energy bars ready in the future?

His eyes unconsciously fell on the Jade Buddha lying on the table.

The moonlight outside the window fell on the table, and the originally mutton-fat-colored jade Buddha actually emitted a faint blood-colored light at this moment.

The raised corners of the Buddha's mouth no longer contain compassion and mercy, only evil and weirdness remain.

But Ji Jingqiu didn't dislike or be wary. He came to the table and stared down at the Jade Buddha on the table.

The Adam's apple can't help but squirm.

He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the surface of the Jade Buddha, opened his lips slightly, and swallowed.

Man, you smell so good...
