Chapter 466 One-pass problem
"Ah! Master Yitong, why did you come out?"

Before coming here, Fang Ming naturally called Yitong, but when he arrived in front of the temple, he didn't call him right away, nor did he call him to say that he had arrived, but now Yitong appeared in front of him up.It turned out that he was thinking of looking around with Zhou Yafang after looking at the surrounding scenery. After all, it was rare for the two of them to come out.

"Amitabha, Master Fang, I am waiting for you here."

Fang Ming was even more taken aback by Yitong's words, but it's not surprising if he thought about it, if Yitong wasn't waiting for him here, he might just show up when he saw him.

But the question is why is Yitong waiting for him so anxiously?

There must be something.

"Master Yitong, what happened?"

Maybe the matter is really urgent, so Yitong stopped being polite, nodded, and said, "Yes, Master Fang, there is one thing that really seems to trouble you."

When Fang Ming heard that he really did not make a mistake, and Yitong was waiting here for something, his curiosity was immediately attracted, and he said, "This... Master Yitong, what is it? If I can help If you are busy, then there must be no problem."

An eminent monk like this is definitely a capable person. Fang Ming couldn't think of anything for a while, but he needed to help himself.

"Amitabha, let's talk inside."

Yitong originally wanted to talk here, but he found that people around him were slowly approaching, obviously thinking that he had come. If he stayed longer, there might be more people around him, so he said to Fangming: " Let's go, let's talk inside."

Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang also knew that this was not a place to talk, so they nodded and followed Yitongli to the temple.

Yitong is the abbot of the monastery. The place where he lives is at the end of the whole monastery. When he followed Yitong, he found that it was a small courtyard with some bamboos and small pomegranate trees planted in it. There is nothing else outside, it seems very quiet.

"Amitabha, Donor Fang and Donor Zhou, please sit down."

The arrangement in Yitong's meditation room is also relatively simple, just a square low table, other than that there are a few pu tuan, and there is nothing else.

After looking at it, Fang Ming said with a smile: "Master Yitong, it seems that your conditions here are relatively poor."

"Amitabha, monks, you don't have to pay so much attention. Now this is already very good."

Yitong is a monk, and his material requirements are not high. In his opinion, if material requirements are too high, it will be of no use to his practice, and it will even be very detrimental to his own practice.It is precisely because of this that the layout in his own room is the simplest.

Fang Ming nodded lightly. He knew that with Yitong's current status, although he couldn't say that he could get what he wanted, it wasn't much. You must know that many of his followers are rich and powerful. If he really pursues material things, there will be plenty of people queuing up to satisfy him.

"Master Yitong, what's the matter?"

Seeing the anxiety on Yitong's face, Fang Ming also decided not to be polite, and asked directly what was going on.

"Amitabha, I bought a Buddha statue, but I have no way to confirm whether it is real, so I want to ask you to have a look."

Fang Ming was taken aback, and said, "Huh?"

It's not surprising that Yitong came to him for such a thing, after all, now he has to drink the expert of appraisal and is famous, but the question is why is Yitong so anxious?
In a sense, Yitong is also a person who plays with antiques, and the eyes of the people above him are also very predictable. The things he likes should not be simple things, but no matter how urgent you are, there is no need to be so anxious, right?This is a little unreasonable?What is the reason here?You must know that the cloud is usually clear and the wind is clear, but now it looks like its butt is on fire. It must be that this Buddha statue is really important to him.

After reading it, I understood Fang Ming's meaning, nodded, and said, "Didn't I tell you before that our temple is going to hold a celebration."

Fang Ming knew about this matter, and speaking of it, it was related to him, and the reason was because he missed the golden Buddha, which contained a relic of the founding patriarch of Tonghua who is currently hosting, and this celebration was prepared for this.

But how does this have anything to do with Buddha statues?
"The celebration was supposed to be held earlier, but it was delayed due to some things. However, this also gave us more time to prepare, but there were also some problems. I found some magic tools. Three years ago, by chance, I got a statue of Buddha. After multiple appraisals, I found it to be real, so I put it in the temple. This matter has been without any trouble, but recently But there was a small problem, and someone told me that the Buddha statue might be fake, so if it is really fake, then there is a big problem."

A look of worry appeared on Yitong's face. That Buddha statue had been placed in Tonghua Temple for several years, and many people had seen it. influence.

A pure gold Buddha statue is of course the best, but it doesn't matter if it's not, but it can be fake no matter what!

Of course, if this Buddha statue is fake, once it appears in the celebration, the problem will be even bigger. Maybe Tonghua Temple will become notorious from now on.

Fang Ming is a smart person, he immediately figured out the twists and turns, "Master Yitong, I understand your meaning and difficulties, but in my opinion, since you can't even identify this Buddha statue, Ordinary people can’t identify it, right? So what’s the problem with whether it’s real or not? If others can’t see it, then it’s real, so there’s no problem with it appearing at the celebration.”

Zhou Yafang also nodded, and said: "Master Yitong, I think Fang Ming is right. People will find it strange that a Buddha statue that has been placed for several years suddenly disappears, and they will definitely guess what happened inside. So, I think what Fang Ming said is right, even if you can’t identify a Master Yitong, then ordinary people can’t see the reason at all, so it’s not a problem to change it or not.”

Yitong shook his head, with a gloomy face, and said, "This... ordinary people can't see it, but some people can see it."

"What do you mean?"

Fang Ming couldn't figure out what Yi Tong meant.

"Amitabha."

Putting his hands together, he hesitated for a while and finally said: "Buddhism is supposed to be a pure place, but in fact it is not like this. Some people still have ideas."

"The status of Tonghua Temple has been getting higher and higher over the years, and it has become more and more stable. It is already a leader in the Buddhist world."

As soon as the conversation got to this point, Fang Ming already guessed what was going on, so he said, "Could it be that people from other temples might take advantage of this matter?"

"Amitabha."

Yitong gave another Buddha's name, nodded, and said: "Yes, there is nothing wrong. I recently received a message that someone wanted to make something happen at our celebration. After knowing this news, I thought about it day and night. What exactly are you trying to do or what method are you using to trouble us."

"After thinking about it, I finally found that the only loophole is this Buddha statue. In our Buddhist circle, there are many people who are proficient in antique appraisal. Once people from other temples see this Buddha statue and reveal it during the celebration , then our Tonghua Temple will definitely not be able to step down."

Yitong is most worried about this problem.Under normal circumstances, we only need to remove that Buddha statue.But because the Buddha statue had been placed in the Buddhist temple for a long time and he had seen too many people, he would not choose to remove the Buddha statue unless he had to.

It was because of this consideration that Yitong called Fang Ming to see if he could identify this Buddha statue.

Fang Ming frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "This...Master Yitong, if it turns out to be fake, what I mean is that once I go for the appraisal and find that Buddha statue is fake, what is your plan?" what to do?"

"Amitabha, if this is really the case, then the only thing we can do is take down the Buddha statue. There is nothing to say about it."

Yitong seemed to have thought about this question a long time ago, so as soon as Fang Ming said it, he answered it immediately.

In fact, Fang Ming also thought of this answer. Once it is fake, the only option is to take down the Buddha statue. Although this will cause some impact, it is much better to be exposed at the celebration after all.

"Well, let's go and see that Buddha statue first, and see how it goes."

Yitong nodded, stood up and led Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang out.Not long after, Fang Ming raised his head and looked at the big Buddha statue in front of him, his eyes widened, and he even opened his mouth enough to stuff an egg in.

Not only him, but even Zhou Yafang's eyes widened, as if he had been struck in the head by lightning suddenly.

After a while, Fang Ming's soul slowly came back, saying: "This... this... Master Yitong, your Buddha statue is too big!"

The Buddha statue is three meters high!
Standing in front of it, Fang Ming realized how small he was!
And it was only at this time that he realized why he was absolutely unwilling to take down the Buddha statue unless he had to.

Because this Buddha statue is placed in the Daxiong Palace!It is absolutely impossible for such a Buddha statue to be withdrawn at will!
