Chapter 2 Daoguo Xiangong, Six-Eyed Bodhisattva

Calm down and close your eyes.

Li Che once again saw the scene he had glimpsed earlier.

In the vast land, a big tree rises from the ground, with lush branches and swaying green leaves, and a colorful fruit hanging on it.

As if he had been staring at it for a long time, the colorful fruit fell with a "click" and landed in Li Che's hand.

"Daoguo..."

Li Che looked at the fruit in his palm and couldn't help but murmur.

…

[Your daughter is born safely, and you get a Taoist fruit "Immortal Work"]

[Immortal craftsmanship (Tao fruit): Immortal craftsmanship of all phenomena, divine hand, unparalleled skills]

…

Words flickered and appeared.

Li Che stared, but his mood suddenly fluctuated.

In the nineteen years since I came to this world, I have never received a golden finger, but now with the birth of my daughter, the golden finger has appeared in this way.

Is a daughter more valuable than a father? !

Li Che became cheerful, the name of Daoguo sounded so noble, it must be his capital to settle down in this world.

Just when he was feeling happy, the prompt in front of him changed again.

…

[Name: Li Che]

[Bond: Li Nuanxi (daughter)]

[Dao Fruit: Immortal Craftsmanship (lv1, 0%)]

[Tip: Every time the bonded object grows up safely for one year, the Tao tree can bear a Tao fruit]

…

Breathing slightly quickly, Li Che looked at the prompt in front of him blankly, and his mind fluctuated violently.

Every time my daughter grows up safely for one year, the Tao tree will bear a Tao fruit...

In Li Che's simple and simple understanding, the role of Dao Fruit is equivalent to teaching him a skill and a skill.

Today, Li Che is working as a helper transporting finished wood carvings in a wood carving shop outside Feilei City. The job is hard work, but he is paid on a per-piece basis, which is quite fair.

However, after a hard day's work and exhaustion, you can probably earn thirty or forty Dajing copper coins. It is no problem to support your family. But if you want to be rich and powerful in this world and let your family live a good life with good food and clothing, But it's just a fool's errand.

But from now on, if he lets his daughter grow up safely and bear fruit every year, then everything may be different!

"Xi Xi is my daughter. I should protect her from growing up safely. This is what I should do as a father..."

Li Che smiled happily. The birth of his daughter had brought him good fortune and he had hope for the future. How could he not be happy?

When the Dao Fruit in his palm melted little by little into Li Che's palm, Li Che didn't notice any changes in himself.

After researching the [Immortal Craftsmanship] Dao Fruit, I have no clue.

"Gulu gulu..."

The crucian carp soup in the pot was boiling, interrupting Li Che's thoughts.

He quickly made a bowl of the delicious, white and fragrant crucian carp tofu soup, took a deep breath, put a smile on his lips, and walked carefully towards the direction of the Tsuchiya with the steaming fish soup.

His wife Zhang Ya has finished feeding Xi Xi and is contentedly drinking the crucian carp soup cooked by Li Che.

Xixi was held by Li Che, and under the guidance of Granny Lei, she was gently patted on her tender back, which was called burping.

After Grandma Lei worked in the earthen house for a while, she gave Li Che some instructions on raising a baby and then left.

After Li Che handed Xixi to Zhang Ya, he followed him.

"Grandma Lei, thank you very much, thank you for your hard work." Li Che stuffed ten coins into Grandma Lei.

Grandma Lei waved her hand and sighed: "Brother Che, Grandma has watched you grow up, moving heavy wood and sculptures for Xu Ji Wood Carving Shop. It's not easy to earn some hard-earned money, so just keep this money. Raise your family well.”

"This outer city...there have been fewer children born recently, but more children have died. You should take good care of Xixi and pay attention to safety."

Grandma Lei's words made Li Che look solemn.

"Grandma..."

Grandma Lei wrapped her head in a cloth, carried a bamboo basket, and braved the wind and snow, and warned: "Remember, don't take your children casually wandering on the street, especially those who worship the child god... eat incense... Stay away."

"The world is not easy, and children are prone to die young. You parents...you have to be careful."

Li Che exhaled a breath of white air in the cold winter wind and snow, and nodded solemnly.

My heart sank slightly. During this period, news of the death of many children had indeed spread.

Li Che didn't take it seriously at first, but now that he is a father, he naturally has to pay more attention to it.

"I know, Grandma Lei."

Li Che responded in a deep voice.

Grandma Lei didn't say anything more. She sighed, tightened her tight cotton clothes, walked into the windy and snowy night, and gradually disappeared into the snow-covered alley in front of the many mud houses.

Li Che watched Grandma Lei disappear, turned around and returned to the earthen house, quickly sealing the cracks in the door to prevent the heat from escaping.

After rubbing his hands and adding some charcoal to the fire, Li Che went to the kitchen to bring the remaining fish soup again.

After the couple had eaten and drank enough, Li Che climbed onto the bed.

Gently patting his daughter who was asleep after drinking milk, Li Che narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but smile at the corners of his lips.

Talking softly to his wife Zhang Ya, Zhang Ya fell into a deep sleep, perhaps a little tired after having a baby.

Li Che, on the other hand, stared and murmured softly and energetically.

"We've run out of charcoal again. I'll go to the charcoal seller tomorrow to buy some. Xixi has just been born, so she can't freeze."

"My wife must take a good confinement period, otherwise she will suffer from confinement syndrome..."

"Well, I will go to the wood carving shop tomorrow to move more statues. Recently, the demand for statues in the inner city has suddenly increased. There are many jobs and you can make a lot of money."

"I will definitely work hard to save money to buy a big house, so that we can be warm even in the winter."

"My wife, don't worry, our life will definitely get better and better..."

On the bed, Li Che gently embraced his wife and daughter, and closed his eyes slightly.

Every breath was so quiet that it could be heard.

...

...

The next day, dawn.

Li Che got up early, watched his wife Zhang Ya, who was in confinement, eat the breakfast he prepared, patted Xixi who had finished drinking milk, put on his hat, and left the earth house.

The ground was white and the wind was cold, and the snowflakes were as big as hands.

The cold air was chilly and piercing like a knife.

The heavy snow showed no sign of stopping, and thick snow piles accumulated on the ground outside Feilei City.

After walking for several miles, under the hazy sky and accompanied by wind and snow, they came to the place where they worked, Xuji Woodcarving Shop.

It was called a shop, but it was actually a huge house. The inside was extremely empty, and there were many piles of wood for woodcarving.

Li Che and many other hired helpers were mainly responsible for carrying wood for the masters of the woodcarving shop, or carrying finished woodcarvings.

Woodcarvings were heavy or light, but the price was the same. It cost five Dajing copper coins to carry a woodcarving once, while it was cheaper to carry wood, one copper coin at a time.

The main reason was that carrying woodcarvings was risky. Once they were bumped or scratched, the money would be basically deducted.

After shaking off the snow on his body, taking off his bamboo hat, and placing it at his workstation, Li Che entered the woodcarving shop.

There was a charcoal stove burning in the shop, the temperature was moderate, and the rich smell of wood was floating.

"Xiao Li, go and move me a piece of 'ash tree', which is bigger. In addition, help me move the 'Six-eyed Bodhisattva Statue' carved three days ago to the inner room. Someone from the inner city will come to collect it in two days. If the snow melts and it is soaked in water, it will not be good."

As soon as he entered the shop, an old man wearing a cotton coat, with a white beard and a ruddy face, called Li Che.

The old man was carrying a shiny wine gourd filled with old yellow wine.

"Okay, Master Chen." Li Che smiled brightly and responded quickly.

As a familiar helper in the shop, he was careful and flexible, and had never had any accidents in moving wood carvings, so he had a very good reputation.

So after several wood carving masters got familiar with him, they would assign him to work.

Master Chen was one of Li Che's customers.

After Li Che responded to Master Chen, he turned and entered the spacious courtyard.

The heavy snow covered the many woods laid in the courtyard. It took some effort to find the area where the "ash tree" was located.

After finding a larger piece, Li Che dragged it out.

After putting on the hemp rope and tying it up, Li Che tested the weight, patted the wood, and turned to the finished wood carving area in the corner of the courtyard.

Because the "six-eyed Bodhisattva" that Master Chen mentioned was the one that Li Che was responsible for moving, he knew the location very well.

He found a wood carving covered by heavy snow. The wood carving was the same size as an adult and was also carved from "flowered elm" wood.

Li Che reached out and brushed away the snow on the wood carving.

A strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart. The "Six-eyed Bodhisattva" wood carving seemed to come alive. The six eyes stared at him and blinked from time to time.

Then, a hazy picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was the picture of Master Chen using a knife, carving the "Six-eyed Bodhisattva" with a knife and a stroke. Li Che felt as if he was in the scene, as if he had merged with Master Chen.

Slowly, the carving techniques and skills of the Six-eyed Bodhisattva seemed to merge into Li Che's... instinct!

"Huh?"

The picture in front of him dissipated, and the Six-eyed Bodhisattva stopped blinking. Li Che's breathing suddenly became rapid.

His heart moved slightly. Just touching the wood carving, it was as if he had learned Master Chen's carving techniques...

This must be related to the Taoist fruit [Xian Gong] that he obtained yesterday because of the birth of his daughter Xixi!

"Wanxiang Immortal Craftsmanship, divine hand, unparalleled skills..."

"The effect of Daoguo Immortal Craftsmanship...may give me the opportunity to become a woodcarving master who truly masters woodcarving techniques!"

Li Che's eyes lit up slightly, and he couldn't help but have some ambitions in his heart.

If he could become a woodcarving master at Xuji Woodcarving Shop, it would be much more promising than being a helper who helps transport wood and carve wood!

Letting my family live a good life in this chaotic world is not a luxury wish!
