Chapter 1209: Pratyekabuddha, 8 Consciousnesses, Nirvana, Animal Nature

"Mr. Kavi, where have you been?" A man held his forehead, sweating profusely, and looked at Kavi helplessly, "We have completed our purchases, and it's time to return to the desert."

"You...you...did you run out to save a cat?" After seeing the kitten on Kavi's body, he looked at Kavi in ​​disbelief as he was being so kind again.

"This major project was directly commissioned by the Ministry of Education. I know you are in a bad mood and they don't respect your opinions at all, but the design drawings have been produced and the plan has been finalized. Now that the procurement is completed, we have to move on to the next stage of the project."

He was very tired. Construction was hard work and he was so busy that he would go to bed at midnight and have to get up early in the morning.

Even architectural designers like Kavi have to follow up on projects and their work and rest schedules are almost synchronized with theirs.

“This major project is urgent and we can’t delay it any longer.”

"Let's go back to the desert now," the man stressed, "you'd better make arrangements for this cat as soon as possible!"

Jiang Yi watched the man leave, then looked at Kavi, who was in a bad mood and looked like his life was terrible.

Hey guy, you come to pet the cat during working hours.

Is this what you meant by taking me back to Xumi City?

"Go back to the desert, go back to the desert... Humph!" Kawi noticed the kitten's distrust in his arms. He scratched his hair again in annoyance, "Don't look at me like that. What's the saying? It's a Liyue proverb, right? Nine out of ten things in life are not as you wish."

"Although I really want to support you, I'm an architectural designer and I can't stay at home very often! I really want to give up this project and quit! But it's not so easy to refuse a commission from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"You left the project halfway through, and there was no one to take over. The compensation was... enough for me to wander the forest with you."

"Forget it, why am I telling you this? It sounds like I'm complaining."

He slapped his forehead.

"As expected, I still have to help you find a kind person to adopt you."

"I'll go discuss this with the engineering procurement team. Give me a day to arrange your life in Xumi City. We should be able to return to the desert before the purchased materials arrive."

The Port of Ormos is the largest commercial port in Xumi and can meet all the requirements of buyers.

There is nothing but sand and weak rocks in the desert. To do construction in the desert, one has to travel thousands of miles to purchase materials at the port, and then transport them by land and sea to deliver them to the construction site.

"Should we find a caravan to take us back? That's too slow. How about we find a more reputable gilded brigade and take a boat back?" He quickly went to find the person in charge of the purchasing team and said that he would return alone.

The person in charge was quite easy to talk to. Perhaps he felt that the people in the engineering department were not really authentic about this "Light of Miaolun School" and thought it would be good for the other party to go back and relax alone. After all, geniuses always have their own pride and eccentricity.

"I will reimburse you for the return expenses." The words of the person in charge became the only good news that Kavi heard today.

Soon, Jiang Yi boarded the boat back to Xumi City.

The Gilded Brigade called it a "speedboat", meaning that the river leads directly to Xumi City and there are no obstructions all the way. They have been doing this for many years and are guaranteed to take Kavi to his destination as fast as flying.

The advantage of traveling on water is that you don’t need to rest. You can eat and do anything else on the boat. You can return day or night without stopping, and you don’t have to worry too much about monsters rushing out to rob you on the road.

Although Kavi's living conditions are worrying, he is actually a holder of the Eye of God and is not afraid of dangers on the road.

The elemental attribute of God's Eye is "grass".

Jiang Yi was wrapped in Kavi's cloak, his intact left eye looking at the river bank.

Along the river bank, there are houses of civilians and forest rangers, which are very distinctive, with grass leaves as eaves, trees and branches as structures, and broad green banana-like leaves as doors and windows.

The weather in Xumi is hot and humid.

There was also a fragrance in the air, which seemed to be medicine to repel mosquitoes.

Huge tree roots can be seen everywhere, running through the mountains like winding dragons. Mountains, rivers and giant trees are integrated into one, creating a magnificent spectacle. Various wonderful rainforest plants are a feast for the eyes.

The rich ecology has formed many magical species.

Various plants that are common in other countries are exceptionally huge here, and humans are like ants and frogs, covered by the green shade of duckweed.

The big yellow-green springy mushroom that allows people to jump into the sky is more interesting to children than a trampoline.

Sometimes you can see one or two cargo boxes in the river, and you don’t know which unlucky team was attacked by monsters.

Piers, wooden boats, fishing nets...both sides of the river are full of life, but as the boat moves forward, the edge becomes primitive and uninhabited.

There are paralyzed relic mechanisms, which use their solid and cold bodies to show the invasion of Xumi by Kanriya in the past.

Vines hang down from the trees, and from time to time you can see mushroom beasts of different colors, shapes, and attributes.

The floating water mushroom beast that Yuanchugun had seen in the Layered Rock Abyss, the floating grass mushroom beast with a spirit-like face under the green hat, and the floating wind mushroom beast with a spirit-like face under the blue hat...

Then, on the ground, there were the Rock Mushroom Beast, the Fire Mushroom Beast, the Thunder Mushroom Beast, the Ice Mushroom Beast, which were like mushrooms...

It was like a huge family with so many members that it was impossible to count them at once.

The mushroom beasts and the hillbillies who were shouting on the shore and trying to attack them were equally dangerous.

next to.

Kavi looked at the three-dimensional architectural models projected by the intelligent machine "Mehrak" and sighed.

The green energy light and shadow made his face look gloomy.

"Oh right!" He looked at Jiang Yi, "Why have I never heard you make a sound, the 'meow meow meow' sound that most cats make?"

Jiang Yi looked at Kavi like a fool.

Although I am no longer in my prime, my brain has become dull and I am a much more "blind and stupid" cat than before, but I only "eat fish" and don't "meow" to beg.

Considering that you don’t know my identity yet, I will forgive you!

Sigh, eat cat food.

He truly felt a partial decline in his intelligence, as the crystal nail had pierced his brain.

Let yourself become childish in your thoughts sometimes.

It's always late before we react.

"Is the vocal cord broken?" Kavi wanted to check Jiang Yi's throat, but Jiang Yi was unwilling and he couldn't force him. He could only confirm that the cat's vocal cords were indeed broken.

"Mehrak, please set a few times to remind me to feed the cat food." Kavi thought about it. Ordinary cats will cry when they are hungry, but this cat does not have that ability, so he can only pay attention to it himself.

Mehrak says he understands.

At this time, Jiang Yi saw Kavi take out a "jade slip" from his waist bag.

"Hmm?" Jiang Yi looked at the jade slip from Liyue in Kavi's hand.

Kavi clicked on a video and enlarged it, and the blue energy array turned into substance, forming a projected screen.

"Liyue's utilization of mechanical rune technology is almost comparable to that of the Ministry of Education." Kavi looked at the changing screen.

Of course, the ordinary jade slips sold in Liyue today do not have the same modeling capabilities as "Mehrak", they can only be used to watch videos and read some documents.

Because Xumi does not have the Floating Life Tower required to build the Liyue Jade Slip, only communication is possible here but no Internet access is possible.

This video is downloaded inside.

This is a concept promotional video for the new cities of Dihuazhou and Guiliyuan in Liyue.

As an architectural designer, it is common to pay attention to the architectural aesthetics of various periods and countries in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

Kavi looked at the various "Floating Life Series" vehicles and flying tools shuttling through multiple dimensions, including high-rise buildings with Liyue bracket eaves and green and white walls with glazed gold tiles, as well as long bridges and auspicious clouds, and ships that seemed to be traveling in the sky.

Judging from the concept map of Liyue, this is an unimaginably large project and it is unknown how much money it will cost.

He doubted that Liyue could ever complete it.

But there is no doubt that these buildings combine art and practicality, tradition and innovation. Under the neon lights and various screens, they are magnificent and look exactly like cities in the future hundreds or thousands of years.

If the times are constantly evolving.

The only drawback is that it costs money. If we don't keep the roofs with brackets and eaves and the various sculptures, it may be possible to build Liyue's rectangular high-rise buildings.

It can also make great use of space.

Kavi was a little envious. If this city could be completed, it would mean that the Liyue Seven Stars' pursuit of architectural artistry was undoubtedly far superior to that of the Xumi people.

In Xumi, art is actually something that is incompatible with the eyes of the Institute that advocates rationality and wisdom.

Dancing, music, entertainment…are all unnecessary.

The people of Xumi do not dream, which is a symbol of rationality.

"If I have the chance, I can go to Liyue to take a look..." Kavi muttered to himself, and then looked at the jade slip. The various information downloaded on it were all downloaded by the merchant who sold the jade slips. They were used for advertising to highlight the characteristics of the Liyue jade slips and attract people to buy them.

"Buildings flying in the sky, floating boats... the ranking of the most artistic concept drawings..." He read with great interest.

Jiang Yi yawned.

He was tired of seeing these things before, and the concept map of the new city was also the product of him, Keqing, and Ningguang.

It is to attract foreign businessmen to invest.

Investors can obtain the operating rights of the construction shop for decades in the future.

If the flying boats can clear the shipping routes and make it convenient for countries to travel, this place can become the new center of the world, and there will definitely be enough people.

Unfortunately, these things have nothing to do with him now as he needs to recover from his injuries.

He saw the people from the Gilded Brigade giving Kavi a few "Dundun Peaches" grown from the bushes in the Sumeru Forest.

Dun Dun peach is cute in appearance, with a gradient of red, orange and yellow. Its shape is just like the sweet peppers before Jiang Yi traveled through time, with petals of patterns. It doesn't look like a peach at all, but it is named after a peach.

However, the flesh is firm and the taste is sweet and delicious, similar to a peach.

"Wait a minute, cats can eat this!?" Kavi was surprised to see Jiang Yi eating cat food and then starting to eat Dun Dun Tao.

Jiang Yi swallowed a mouthful of fruit pulp whole.

Before the time of Xumi, Dun Dun peach was an ornamental plant, but later, people discovered that it had medicinal value and had the effect of "calming the mind and soothing the nerves."

For Jiang Yi today, it can relieve some of his mental pain and restlessness.

It is very suitable to take a few before meditation.

Kavi looked at Jiang Yi anxiously, and was relieved to find that Jiang Yi seemed to be fine.

But it was a bit strange that after eating so much food, Jiang Yi's stomach didn't feel full at all.

Moreover, the other party has been eating.

The cat food Sally gave me won’t last more than a few days!

He also asked "Mehrak" to set a timer to remind him to feed the cat food, which should obviously be changed to prevent Jiang Yi from eating all the cat food in one day.

"Well, why do you have a small bottle on your neck?" Kavi suddenly noticed something he had overlooked before. A flash of light passed through the area covered by Jiang Yi's hair. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was a small bottle the size of a thumb, filled with water.

When he wanted to check, Jiang Yi showed resistance again, looking at him with his one-eyed cat-like pupil as calm as a lake, but with an attitude that kept people at a distance.
