Chapter 38 The Surprising Leak in the Leak
Song Shan quickly discovered the abnormality that Qian Fang had discovered before, calmed down, first bent his fingers and tapped lightly on the Buddha statue, and after thinking for a while, he handed the Buddha statue to Yitong and said: "Master Yitong, you should come."

Although Song Shan was born in Buddhism, all his energy has been spent on affairs these years, and many things have actually been abandoned.In comparison, Master Yitong is a real master in this area, and he also knows that Yitong has a deep research on traditional institutions that few people have studied.

Yitong's face is very serious. If there is something in this Buddha statue, it must be related to Buddhism. As a monk, the meaning of this is much greater than that of ordinary people:

No matter what it is inside, Qian Fang, Fang Ming and others can regard it as a collectible, but he definitely can't.

Fang Ming focused on watching Yitong, and found that Yitong did not look at the Buddha statue after receiving it, but slowly and gently touched it with his fingers on the base. The fat and round fingers were like silkworm chrysalis. There are endless mysteries in the land, and no matter how you explore it, you can't finish it.

Time passed bit by bit, and the atmosphere in the room became more and more tense. Everyone understood that the longer the time of touching, the more likely there will be a hidden compartment; more precious!

Fang Ming was the most nervous one, not only because the Buddha statue was found by himself, and there were more precious things in it that belonged to him, but also because of the picture he "saw".Once the hidden compartment is found, it seems to prove that Pixiu on the back of the right hand has another ability.

Zhou Yafang didn't stare at Yitong, she glanced at Fang Ming from time to time, and secretly sighed in her heart that the person who had saved her once had such bad luck in collecting antiques.

"Card!"

A sudden light sound startled everyone, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on the golden Buddha in Yitong's hand.

"Amitabha, there is indeed a hidden space."

One pass wiped his forehead, and he spent a lot of effort in order to open this hidden compartment. The hidden compartment in this Buddha statue is one of the most delicate hidden compartment switches he has ever encountered. If he hadn't researched this For many years, I am afraid it will be impossible to open it.

"What's inside? Open it up and take a look?"

Fang Ming looked nervously at the Buddha statue in Yitong's hand. After the hidden compartment was opened, the contents inside were revealed. It could be seen that it was a piece of slightly blackened brocade cloth. If there was anything, it should be inside the brocade cloth.

"Amitabha, Master Fang, come and open it, whatever is inside is your karma."

Yitong's body trembled slightly. The thing in the Buddha statue must be related to Buddhism. He really wanted to open it by himself, but years of Buddhist practice made him understand that it was not his own cause and effect, and he was not qualified to open it.

Zhou Yafang and the others were all focused on the brocade, but they didn't notice anything strange about Yitong.

Fang Ming took the brocade cloth, and he was also extremely excited at this moment, after taking a few deep breaths, he felt that he took it apart in a manner that didn't care about anything.

Fang Ming really wanted to know what was inside quickly, so he was not polite, and after taking the Buddha statue, he took out the brocade cloth from the secret compartment.

"What is this?"

After taking the brocade cloth apart, Fang Ming saw that it was covered with a piece of bone that looked like glass, with an empty space in the middle, exuding an indescribable light, but he had never seen such a thing before. , have never even heard of it.

After a while seeing that no one answered him, Fang Ming raised his head and found that everyone was staring at the things in his hand in astonishment, as if dumbfounded.

"You... know what this is?"

It was Fang Ming's words that finally woke everyone up.

Zhou Yafang sighed, but what did she say? She was really speechless. The Buddha statue that was bought back earlier was a fake, but after it was broken, a golden Buddha was revealed inside. This is already enough to make people wonder what to do. I admired his luck, but later found a hidden compartment on the road to the Golden Buddha, and what appeared in the hidden compartment turned out to be the thing in front of me. The luck is so good that it is against the sky!
Qian Fang moved his lips, and looked at Fang Ming in the same speechless manner, in his heart he really wanted to pull God out and kill him with a knife: He is clearly a rookie who is so good in the collection world, how could he miss such a thing.

"This... is this?"

Zhou Yafang, Qian Fang's demeanor and Song Shan's words made Fang Ming even more puzzled by Monk Erzhang, and said a little bit at a loss, "What is this...? Do you think about it and tell me the answer?"

"Amitabha, Lord Fang, this is the relic."

At this moment, I understood why I felt the aura of the Buddha statue was so powerful just now, it turned out that there were relics in it!

The relic is a treasure of Buddhism, and it is transformed by the spirit and spirit of eminent monks who have attained the Tao, and the aura is naturally extremely powerful.

The words made Fang Ming stunned: "She... Li?"

After the words were spoken, Fang Ming realized what he had heard, and his whole body trembled. He pointed to the thing in his hand and said, "This is the relic?"

The relic originally refers to the Buddhist patriarch Sakyamuni. The remains and pearl-like gem-like things left after his death and cremation are the crystals left after cremation. In terms of shape, they may be round or square. Shape; from the point of view of color, there are pink, white, black, red, etc., just like pearls, crystals, or agates, crystals, which are formed after monks practice precepts, samadhi, and wisdom, and add their own great vows. Only then can it be formed. For Buddhism, relics are connected with eminent monks who have attained the Tao, so they are of great significance.

Of course, Fang Ming is not very clear about these things, but he has never eaten pork and seen pigs running, so he still knows what kind of relic is.

"That's right, this is exactly the relic."

Zhou Yafang glared at Fang Ming.

Touching his chin, Fang Ming said, "How could you miss such a thing?"

Zhou Yafang looked at Fang Ming, wanted to say something but gave up in the end, what is "how could I miss such a thing"?Many people would never have thought of such a good thing, but Fang Ming spoke in a tone as if he was unlucky.

"Ha! That's not what I mean, but it's too amazing."

After recovering from the huge shock, Fang Ming became excited. The relics are so awesome, and he even missed one!
"I just don't know which eminent monk's relic this is."

Yitong also recovered from the huge shock at this time, picked up the Buddha statue and put his fingers into the hidden compartment of the Buddha statue. He is a Buddhist monk, and there may be clues to this in the place where the relics are stored.

After touching it for a while, he took out a small piece of gold. Fang Ming leaned on it and found a line of small characters engraved on it, but he didn't recognize any of it.

"This is Sanskrit, a language used to write Buddhist scriptures in Indian Buddhism."

Once he was proficient in Sanskrit, he recognized it immediately, but then his face changed drastically, and his whole body trembled like you had a sudden stroke.

This sudden change frightened everyone, not knowing what happened.

"Amitabha! This relic is actually... the relic of Master Mingjian, the founder of our temple..."

Half a day later, Yitong was still very excited. Seeing the relic, a treasure of Buddhism, made him extremely excited. How could he have thought that it would be the founder of the Buddhist temple in the end?

"Let me see."

Song Shan took the gold piece from Yitong's hand, and the words on it naturally did not bother him. He saw that it was really what Yitong said. According to the above records, the relic belonged to the founding father of Tonghua Temple, which Yitong is now presiding over. That line reads:

"Tonghua Temple, the abbot who opened the mountain and presided over Mingjian Master's relic."

"Amitabha!"

Yitong blushed with excitement, and said: "According to the records of our temple, the founder of the mountain saw that the master passed away on the day of his [-]th birthday, and there had been no water for a month before that. On his birthday, at [-] o'clock in the morning, he suddenly became excited. Dafa, now all the disciples in the temple are teaching scriptures. After an hour, the disciples found that the patriarch had passed away. According to the regulations of the Buddhist scriptures, after the fourth day, firewood was cremated on the bluestone board in the temple. Finally, a total of [-] relics were obtained. Among them There are three fingers."

"Master Yitong, the relics are of great significance to Buddhism, especially for your monastery to explain to the master's relics, why are they lost?"

Zhou Yafang was very strange. Relics are extremely important to Buddhism. Generally speaking, if there are relics found after the death of eminent monks in the temple, a special stupa will be built to enshrine them. As for the security, it is naturally extremely strict.She believes that the relics seen by the founder of Tonghua Temple will be strictly guarded.

Nodding his head, Yitong said: "Yes, Master Mingjian's relic is the most important thing in our temple, so there have always been dedicated monks to take care of it, but, like other Buddhist temples, we have experienced a lot after the establishment of the temple. There are a lot of "difficulties in the law."

Every Fa tribulation brings huge damage.

The so-called Dhamma refers to the damage suffered by Buddhist temples.There are four famous Dharma difficulties in history, which are the huge "destroying Buddha". They happened in 444, when Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba exterminated Buddha, in 574, when Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwenyong exterminated Buddha. And in 841, Shizong Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Dynasty exterminated Buddha.

Because three of the four emperors' year titles have the character "Wu" and the other one has the character "Zong", so these four disasters of destroying Buddhism are also called "Three Wus and One School". caused huge damage.

Although Yitong's Tonghua Temple has not experienced these major difficulties, it has experienced many large and small damages.

At this time, Song Shan on the side also said: "Yes, the presiding abbot Mingjian lost the relics of Master Mingjian 200 years ago. This matter was mentioned in the preface of a Buddhist scripture published by Tonghua Temple 20 years ago."

"This year is the 600th birthday of Master Mingjian. The appearance of the relic is of great significance to us in Tonghua Temple. The path to the underworld has its own destiny."

Yitong looked at Fang Ming and said, "Benefactor Fang, we must get this relic in Tonghua Temple. In order to repay you for finding this relic for us, how about we give 500 million?"

Fang Ming immediately shook his head and said, "Master Yitong, since this relic belongs to Master Mingming, then I have no reason to keep it, you just welcome it back."

"Amitabha, Lord Fang, relics are priceless treasures for us, so no matter how much money is paid, it is worth it, and 500 million is really not much."

It is not an exaggeration to say this at all, even ordinary relics are of great significance to Buddhism, not to mention that this is the relic of the founder of Tonghua Temple!

"Master Yitong, there is really no need for this."

Once he insisted on giving it, Fang Ming insisted on not giving it, and immediately there was a stalemate.

"Well, I don't think it's better to deal with it like this."

Seeing the situation like this, Song Shan knew that going on like this was not an option, "Well, Fang Ming, you must take this money. Otherwise, Master Yitong will not be at ease, but the money doesn't need that much, I think it's only 300 yuan. Well, as for the golden Buddha, the price is 200 million, that is to say, Master Yitong will still pay Fang Ming you 500 million, and the relic and golden Buddha will be handed over to Master Yitong."

Fang Ming also understood that there was no need for him to persevere, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it like this."

"Amitabha, in this way, I really take advantage of too much."

Master Yitong clasped his hands together, and then the other party said clearly: "Benefactor Fang, if you need my help in the future, please tell me."

Zhou Yafang raised her brows. With Master Yitong's status in the Buddhist world, his words are definitely worth more than 500 million yuan!

"Okay, if it is necessary, Master Yitong, I will not be polite."

No longer in the mood to stay, I called a few monks and escorted the relic back to Tonghua Temple together.

After Yitong left, Qian Fang gave Fang Ming a thumbs up, and said with a smile, "Fang Ming, you are really awesome!"

Fang Ming had never touched collections before, but he had already created two miracles. One was pulling his fingers—it was picked out by Zhou Yafang by mistake; and this time, the things he picked up from the ghost market were even more exaggerated. , There is a leak in the leak, and there is a relic in the Golden Buddha!

This kind of thing can't happen to many people who have played with antiques for a lifetime, but it happened to Fang Ming after only a few days in the industry.

"Heh... good luck!"

Fang Ming touched his nose, it has nothing to do with luck, but with the Pixiu on his right hand, but this is an unspoken secret.

"Well, I can only say that your luck is really good!"

Zhou Yafang may be the most "depressed" one, let's not talk about the Buddha statue in the ghost market, but the finger is bought by myself, but I can't recognize it as a good thing, which is a little bit I can't justify it.

But what can I do?I just didn't recognize it.

"Fang Ming, come to my house more in the future when you are free. Let's drink tea and chat."

"Okay! Another day, I will definitely bother you Qian Lao."

Fang Ming has already decided to take the line of antique collection, and Qian Fang is the leading figure in this line, and there are too many things he can learn from him.

After sitting for a while, Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang left first. Song Shan and Qian Fang were good friends, and they were usually too busy to meet each other, so naturally they had a lot to talk about.

However, what the two of them were talking about was Fang Ming.

"Old Song, what do you think of Fang Ming?"

Song Shan laughed when he heard it, and said, "Old Qian, you are making things too difficult for me. I just met this kid, and it's been less than two hours. What can I see?"

Glancing at Song Shan, Qian Fang said, "Is your ability to observe people for nothing? Who in the world doesn't know your sharp eyes?"

After thinking about it for a while, Song Shan finally shook his head and said, "I can't see through it."

Now Qian Fang was really surprised and said, "Can't you see through? You can't see through just a young man?"

"Oh, you can see through again?"

After a pause, Song Shan continued: "Didn't you say that he is a novice in antique collection? Then how did he do it? Is it really just luck?"

"This one……"

Qian Fang was speechless, he had never thought about the question Song Shan said, but after thinking about it, Fang Ming was really "weird", he had spent his whole life in the antique collection business, and he made his fortune by luck It's not that there are no people, but there are not many, and it is absolutely rare to have such good luck one after another like Fang Ming.

"So, this young man, it's really hard to say."

……

Fang Ming didn't know that Qian Fang and Song Shan talked about him, and classified himself as "unable to see through". This is a rare thing for two "old Jianghu". Avon's car went to Avonzhai.
