Chapter 354 – Shinian Sees Buddha! (2/2)

“I——” Cui Xiaoxin knew that this mischievous friend was playing tricks on her, she said blus.h.i.+ng, “After listening to Mister Li Mu's reminder.”

“Oh. I see.” Li s.h.i.+nian nodded understandingly, then pointed to Li Muyang. “It seems that you and this Mister Li Mu are really fated. He saved your life when you almost fell, and now he helped you solve a puzzle. The people from the ancient times have the saying 'one who can correct a misread or misspelt character and thus be your master', Sister Xiaoxin——what is the relations.h.i.+p between you two now?”

“s.h.i.+nian——” A stern look crossed Cui Xiaoxin's face. “Don't talk nonsense.”

Li s.h.i.+nian knew that Cui Xiaoxin had a cold personality and kept a certain distance with everyone. She stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, “Sister Xiaoxin, I'm joking. Don't be angry.”

“I'm not angry. Just need to be cautious with some words.” Cui Xiaoxin was very fond of Li s.h.i.+nian, her face eased a little, as she said softly.

“Yes I will remember.” Li s.h.i.+nian cutely nodded but she was inwardly anxious, she was certain that Cui Xiaoxin has a good opinion of her brother.

Only that her brother's ident.i.ty was too sensitive, it was impossible to expose him in Tiandu at this time. Otherwise it would lead to a fatal disaster.

If he does not expose his ident.i.ty and let Cui Xiaoxin know, it will be difficult for their relations.h.i.+p to progress to the next step.

“Too impatient.” Li s.h.i.+nian said to herself.

Cui Xiaoxin looked at Li Mu, saying, “Thank you Mister Li Mu for guiding me, Xiaoxin understands.”

Because Li Mu was Cui Xiaoxin's saviour, she was very courteous.

Otherwise, why would she have to thank a cart driver?

Li Muyang indifferently looked at her flower-like face, saying in a low voice, “I just happen to pa.s.s by. Miss, no need to be so polite.”

Cui Xiaoxin carefully studied Li Muyang then asked: “Mister Li Mu understands the Buddhism scriptures?”

“I wouldn't say understand, I just know a little.” Li Muyang explained.

Kong Li was his Master, so he is considered half a Buddhist disciple. How could a Buddhist disciple be ignorant of the origins of his own sect? For this reason, Li Muyang had been studying in Starry Sky library for a long time.

“Mister Li Mu is modest.” Cui Xiaoxin said. She could tell that the cart driver was very knowledgeable, but was too humble to show it.

“A person like him, how many are there on this world?”

For some reason, Cui Xiaoxin could not help but let out a soft sigh.

Li s.h.i.+nian blinked, looking at Cui Xiaoxin: “Sister Xiaoxin, how about we let him follow us, if we could not recognise a Buddha, he could help explain the origin, what do you think?”

Cui Xiaoxin gave it a brief thought and also felt it was a good idea. If the mischievous Li s.h.i.+nian asked some embarra.s.sing questions again that she could not answer, there would be someone that can help her out.

Then, Cui Xiaoxin nodded: “Have to trouble Mister Li Mu.”

Li Muyang was thrilled, suppressing a smile he said in a low voice: “To serve Miss, is an honour for Li Mu.”

Li s.h.i.+nian walked right over to Li Muyang and made a wink at him, but her voice was extremely cold when she reminded him: “Then you can follow us. Just like when we were going up the mountain, you must protect me and Sister Xiaoxin at all times. Understand?”

Li Muyang nodded, answering earnestly: “Understand.”

The corners of Li s.h.i.+nian's mouth drew back into a grin: “I knew you will certainly understand.”

She turned, smiling as she linked her arm through Cui Xiaoxin's, “Sister Xiaoxin, let's continue to search for Buddha. How many have we found?”

“175.” Cui Xiaoxin said aloud. She had been keeping count for Li s.h.i.+nian.

“Sister Xiaoxin, you remember.” Li s.h.i.+nian said, overjoyed. “Then we have to find all 1000 Buddha statues today. All right?”

“Yes.” Cui Xiaoxin nodded. People that have been living up on this mountain for years still have not found all 1000 Buddha statues. If someone was able to, they would ascend into an immortal.

Cui Xiaoxin was slightly looking forward, what if Li s.h.i.+nian really was able to find all Buddha statues?

Li Muyang was also very surprised.

He and Cui Meng also came to seek the Buddha statues. They knew well how difficult it is to find the Buddha statues within the forest.

Li s.h.i.+nian had only been searching for a while, yet already found 175 statues?

Although he had always known that his sister is a talented girl, but he did not expect her to be gifted to this extent?

More importantly, from a young age, she had been cultivating Taoism's 'The art of Breaking body', and had never dabbled in Buddhist Scriptures, why would she have so much understanding on Buddhism?

Li Muyang was completely bewildered, but due to his ident.i.ty it was impossible for him to immediately come forward to ask her. He had to follow behind Cui Xiaoxin and Li s.h.i.+nian, watching Li s.h.i.+nian create non-stop miracles.

“Ah, look, there is a Buddha above us——”

“That Buddha is so cute, it is a tree tumour——”

“Hey, look at that valley, doesn't it look like a big Buddha——”

“240 statues——”

“321 statues——”

“397 statues——”

Li Muyang and Cui Xiaoxin followed behind Li s.h.i.+nian, watching her exclaim excitedly and the number in their heart constantly climbing.

It had reached an alarming number.

If the old monks of Thousand Buddha Temple know Li s.h.i.+nian has found 400 Buddha statues in such a short amount of time, even the head of the temple himself will come out to treat her as a distinguished guest.

“For hundreds of years, most likely that only few people have been able to do that.” Cui Xiaoxin thought. “Li s.h.i.+nian, you really like to surprise people.”

Li Muyang was also more and more astounded, his sister can not be describe with the word 'genius' anymore. She is simply an——evil-doer.

Li s.h.i.+nian continued seeking the Buddha statues.

Even Li s.h.i.+nian herself had not noticed that, she had now entered a kind of forget-everything realm.

At the beginning, she was searching the Buddha statues with an att.i.tude of playing a game.

She wanted to find Buddha statues, and had no time to admire the scenery.

But now Li s.h.i.+nian had concentrated all her mind on finding the Buddha statues, entering into a state of obsession and fascination. She saw no mountains, no water or friends.

The mountains were gone, the trees were gone, the clouds were gone, and the wind was gone.

In her eyes, there were only statues of Buddha all over the place.

The Buddha statues sparkled like little stars on the endless firmament.
