Chapter 37

Dabanshan Hotel is located in the center of Ningdong City, covering an area of ​​more than one square kilometer. It was built long before the economy of Ningdong City began to take off. It is the earliest five-star hotel.

Over the years, the economy of Ningdong City has become more and more developed, and various star-rated hotels have emerged one after another, but its status has not been shaken: important meetings at home and abroad, whether political or economic, as long as they are In Ningdong City, more than 7% will choose a hotel in the middle of the mountain.

As for other activities such as those in the entertainment and film industry, it goes without saying.

Da Banshan Hotel occupies such an important position, although it is related to its background-shareholders, but it is also related to its hardware environment and software services. The industry is definitely still possible to survive so well.

When Fang Ming and others arrived, there was already a young man waiting at the gate of the Dabanshan Hotel. As soon as he saw Qian Fang, he immediately walked over and said, "Mr. Qian, Mr. Song asked me to come down and pick you up." .”

"Xiao Li, I'm sorry to trouble you, let's go in, these few are my friends."

Li Guo glanced at Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang, and was secretly surprised. He was Song Shan's secretary, so he naturally recognized that Qian Fang was his "boss" friend and a master figure in the collection field. There are not many people Fang calls friends, let alone Zhou Yafang, especially Fang Ming who is so young.

Although he was surprised in his heart, Li Guo didn't show any strange expression on his face, but turned around and walked in with Qian Fang and others.

It was the first time for Fang Ming to come to the Da Banshan Hotel. When he walked in, he finally realized why it was called the Da Banshan Hotel, because after he entered, he quickly found that the terrain was getting higher and higher—when he reached the entrance of the hotel lobby, It turned out that there was a height difference of nearly 20 meters from the gate that came in before.

"Heh, Fang Ming, is this your first time here? The reason why this hotel got its name is because when standing here and looking at the gate, it feels like it's halfway up the mountain."

Qian Fang's words surprised Li Guo even more - Qian Fang took the initiative to explain this matter to Fang Ming, which only proved that he valued Fang Ming very much.

"What is the origin of this young man named Fang Ming? He is carrying that bag... quite ordinary, nothing special."

Li Guo took a look at Fang Ming, and found that not only was the bag he was carrying nothing special, but the clothes on his body were also very common. If there was anything special, it would be that this young man named Fang Ming seemed to have a Indescribable temperament, so although the appearance is not particularly outstanding, it is hard to forget at first glance.

Li Guo was able to become Song Shan's secretary, so he was not an ordinary person. Although he didn't know Fang Ming's background for the time being, he had made up his mind to make friends with Fang Ming if he had the chance.

There is no shortage of pavilions, terraces and pavilions in the Dabanshan Hotel. I followed Li Guo and walked slowly forward, passing through one after another, large and small gardens, and finally stopped in front of a single villa. down.

Li Guo turned around and said to Qian Fang and the others: "Mr. Qian and Mr. Song are inside. He said that when you arrive, go in directly."

"Okay, Xiao Li, do you have something to do, then go ahead and do it first, we'll just go in."

Qian Fang knew that Li Guo was Song Shan's personal secretary, and if he hadn't something to do, he would definitely have brought him in.

"Mr. Qian, I'm really sorry. The meeting will be held tomorrow. There are many things to do and the time is tight. I really can't say hello."

"Come on, you can go to work first."

After driving Li Guo away with a wave of his hand, Qian Fang led Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang inside. As soon as he entered the lobby of the villa, he immediately saw two people sitting on the sofa chatting, one of them was gray-haired The old man, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, looks quite energetic, as for the other one is a monk wearing a red monk robe, with a smile on his fat face forever, as if he is Maitreya Buddha, people are impressed at first sight, and even give birth to A sense of tranquility, it can be seen that the practice of Buddhism should be extremely profound.

"Huh? Monk Yitong, why are you here?"

Seeing the monk, Qian Fang was immediately surprised. The sitting monk was called Yitong. He was the presiding abbot of Tonghua Temple in Zishishan, Ningdong City.

"Amitabha, Lord Qian, this time is a national religious conference. Isn't it normal for me to appear here? But you, why are you here? Could it be that you have also become a monk?"

Fang Ming couldn't help being happy when he heard it, and thought that this Yitong monk should be a very "cheerful" person, and he didn't have the serious look of an accomplished monk.

"Heh, old Qian, let me introduce a new friend."

Zhou Yafang took a step forward as soon as she heard it, and said, "Old Song, Master Yitong, hello, I'm Zhou Yafang, this is Fang Ming, we are collectors."

"Oh, I'm with Lao Qian, sit down, what's the matter?"

He and Qian Fang have been friends for many years, Song Shan naturally understands that if there is no special event, he will definitely not bring two people he did not know before to visit him at this time.

As soon as Qian Fang sat down, he couldn't wait to say: "Old Song, and Master Yitong, it's great that you are here, and I just have one thing to trouble you."

"Oh?"

Hearing what Qian Fang said, Song Shan and Yitong's curiosity was aroused, and they all looked over together.

Fang Ming put the bag on the ground, opened it, and carefully took out the golden Buddha statue inside and placed it on the table.

"Old Song, Master Yitong, take a look at this Buddha statue."

"what?!"

As soon as Fang Ming's Buddha statue was taken out, Song Shan was sitting on the sofa casually, but now he sat upright all of a sudden, and grabbed the Buddha statue with his right hand at a speed completely different from that of ordinary people and took it over.

"This Song Shan has kung fu."

When it comes to appraising Fang Ming, of course he is a novice now, but when it comes to fighting, he is no worse than others. As the saying goes, an expert can know if there is one as soon as he reaches out. It's not something that ordinary people can do, it's definitely something that can be achieved after years of hard work.

"The Buddha statue in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and it was a good thing from the court, old money, where did this thing come from, and it is very difficult to see such a thing now."

Song Shan was born in Buddhism, and now he is also engaged in this field of work. His vision is naturally extremely vicious, and he can tell at a glance which period the Buddha statue is from and where it came from.

The Buddha statue in front of me is beautiful in shape and is a rare boutique.

"Amitabha, I don't know which benefactor this Buddha statue belongs to? I don't know if we can part with each other?"

His eyes swept over Qian Fang, Fang Ming, and Zhou Yafang one by one, with eager expressions on their faces, obviously wanting to get this Buddha statue very much.

In fact, this is not surprising at all. Generally speaking, Buddha statues are only collectibles, but for monks like him, it has more than just this meaning.Let’s not talk about the material of the Buddha statue in front of me. The key is that the aura condensed on it is extremely powerful.

Aura is an important criterion to measure the value of instruments used in Buddhism and other religions. The so-called aura is a kind of "illusory" thing, similar to spiritual power. The instruments in Buddhism are often It is something that the Taoist monks carry with them. After years of use and continuous blessing, it will condense into a huge aura.

Ordinary people see Buddha statues or other magic tools and feel that they are upright and bright. It seems that there is a special power that can make people calm down suddenly. feeling.

Although the Buddha statue in front of me is small, the aura it exudes when it is placed on the table is so powerful that although Yitong has a lot of knowledge, he has never encountered it before.

The only doubt is that it is logically impossible for this Buddha statue to have such a strong aura, but this is not important right now. Yitong believes that his feelings will never go wrong, so he bought this Buddha statue first and then studied it slowly.

In fact, there is another important reason why Yitong wants to buy this Buddha statue, that is, next month is the 600th anniversary of the birth of Master Mingjian, the abbot of the Buddhist temple. Tonghua Temple will have a large-scale Buddha’s birthday celebration. With such a strong aura, it would definitely be a good story to appear in the celebration.

That's why Yitong was in such a hurry.

"Ha! Master Yitong, I have known you for many years, and I have never seen you so restless! What about your Dharma practice?"

Qian Fang laughed loudly, but he was also secretly surprised. The Buddha statue that can make a person like Yitong so "shocked" is definitely not an ordinary Buddha statue - it is obvious that a Buddha statue that came from the court during the Yongle period cannot make the other party feel ashamed. So moving, so what is the reason?

It's just that for a while, Qian Fang couldn't figure out why.

Glancing at Qian Fang, Yitong said, "Amitabha, just laugh."

"Okay, can't I stop laughing?"

Qian Fang pointed at the Buddha statue, and said, "But you should be busy asking for a price. There is another world to this Buddha statue, and this is the main purpose of my coming here today."

"Oh?"

Song Shan froze for a moment, glanced at the Buddha statue in his hand, and said, "Is there another world?"

Qian Fang nodded heavily, and said, "Old Song, turn the Buddha statue over and have a look. There may be a hidden compartment at the base, we are not sure, and even if there is a hidden compartment, we can't open it, so we came to look for it." you."

Song Shan is a master of Buddhism, if there is a hidden compartment in this Buddha statue, the way to open it is probably related to Buddhism, so it is the most correct choice to find him.

Hearing what Qian Fang said, Song Shan immediately turned the Buddha statue over.
