Ling Cang went back to the apartment, changed his clothes, applied two bags of ice cubes to his face, and finally felt better.
Although he was first tortured by Ling Lan and then bumped into by Shen Fanlei and Su Mengqing, he still had a good time. Ling Cang was about to go to dinner when Liang Xiangyu called: "Boss, where are you? Come to the school gate quickly." , ”
"What's wrong,"
"The blessing has arrived,"
"What a blessing,"
"Oh, I can't tell you clearly on the phone. Anyway, please come quickly."
Ling Cang came to the school gate full of suspicion and found Liang Xiangyu standing with a man. This man was wearing a khaki cassock and smiling. He was the unbelieving Zen master.
"Why is it you?" Ling Cang looked at it for a while and asked in disbelief, "Now it's released."
"Ah... don't mention the past things anymore," Zen Master Buxin smiled sheepishly, and then said: "I remember you said that you were a student of No. 1 Middle School, so after overcoming that evil obstacle, the poor monk I came here specially to say thank you to you two,"
After paying the fine and being detained for a few days, he remembered that Ling Cang and Liang Xiangyu had helped him, so he ran to No. 1 Middle School to look for them.
Ordinarily, No. 1 Middle School was such a big school, and the school kept students' information strictly confidential. It would be difficult for him to find two students. It was Liang Xiangyu's bad luck. He was going to the east wall food stall to eat, and he happened to see him looking around at the school gate.
"Subjugating evil obstacles sounds nice to say," Ling Cang chuckled and said sarcastically, "Aren't you consecrating women who have stumbled?"
"It was originally a consecration, but I didn't expect to run into a sin barrier..." Bu Xie clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice: "Sin, sin..."
"Since you have all sinned, just go back and apologize. Why are you coming to us?"
"Didn't the poor monk say that I came here to thank the two benefactors..." He didn't lie if he didn't believe it, but he didn't tell the whole story. He remembered that Ling Cang and others had so much money in their pockets. They must have come from a powerful family. He was very strapped for money at the moment, so he came over to express his gratitude.
"Um, eminent monk..." Liang Xiangyu rubbed his hands and asked with some embarrassment: "You encountered evil obstacles last time, but we have made meritorious deeds. I wonder if we can return some blessings to us."
If you don't believe it, this is what you are waiting for, and your eyes immediately shine with excitement: "What kind of blessing do you want?"
"Anything is fine, it depends on what the eminent monk wants,"
I don't believe that I understand the principle of playing hard to get, so I said lightly: "The gratitude of a poor monk is priceless."
"Oh..." Liang Xiangyu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He originally thought that his donation of merit would definitely be rewarded, just like investing. This chance encounter made him believe it even more, because it showed that he was destined to have a relationship with the eminent monk.
"However, the poor monk carries a treasure with him, which he can give to the benefactor as a thank you," Bu Xie said, and he took out a pendant like a magic trick: "This is carved from high-quality Hetian jade. After being consecrated by this eminent monk, it can provide blessings." Your whole family will be safe, you will be promoted and make a fortune,"
Liang Xiangyu hurriedly took it and looked at it carefully: "Thank you, eminent monk,"
"But..." Buxin shot two greedy eyes and kept digging into Liang Xiangyu's pocket: "If you want to get this protective treasure, you need to donate another point of merit."
"How many,"
"The donor is free to do as he pleases..." Liang Xiangyu didn't believe it, fearing that he would give less, so he immediately added: "But it cannot be less than 10,000."
"Cheap," Liang Xiangyu was about to pay, but suddenly thought that Ling Cang was still there, so he handed over the pendant: "Look, boss, I said that merit will not be in vain,"
The pendant was made of a string of green beads, with a statue of Guanyin hanging underneath. Ling Cang didn't need to look closely to discover that, let alone Hetian jade, it wasn't even the cheapest Xiu jade. The entire pendant was made of colored glass.
As for things like consecration, I can't say, but I don't believe that Zen masters are not famous. If Liang Xiangyu spent a little more, it would be enough to ask Zen Master Yongxin of Shaolin Temple to consecrate it.
Ling Cang was about to speak when he glanced at him accidentally and found that Tongtong had arrived at some unknown time. He tilted his head and listened attentively.
This was the first time Tongtong encountered such a thing, and he was very curious. This girl thought she was good at bargaining. When she heard that she didn't believe it, she opened her mouth and planned to help Liang Xiangyu: "Master, this price is too expensive, please give it a cheaper price." Bar,"
"Female donor, you can't negotiate for this kind of thing..." Disbelief's eyes touched Tongtong's towering chest a few times, and then he said sternly: "Don't think that this merit belongs to Disbelief. Personal pockets are actually used to promote Buddhism and glorify temples."
"Promote Buddhism and shine the temple..." Ling Cang found this fake monk quite interesting and was no longer in a hurry to expose this scam: "What are you going to do?"
"First of all, I want Duolin Temple to be listed..." His unbelieving eyes became deeper, as if he had seen through all the clouds in front of him and saw the whole world: "In the early stage, we can consider listing A shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and then issue H shares. Then I will enter the Hong Kong stock market. When the time is right, I will list on Nasdaq in country M. Next, I will use the funds obtained from the listing to build temples around the world and promote the profound Buddhist culture..."
Bu Xie conceived a grand business blueprint and called Liang Xiangyu and Tong Tong stupid. Only Ling Cang coldly questioned: "The purpose of listing is to make money. That's right. What you did is also feasible in China. But it’s different abroad. After you make money, you need to give returns to shareholders, otherwise no one will buy your shares, and your Duolin Temple will become a junk stock and eventually be ordered to be delisted.”
"This donor doesn't need to worry too much. The poor monk already has a mature profit plan." Bu Xin smiled confidently and asked, "Can't you tell? The poor monk is the CEO."
The three of them exclaimed together: "You are the CEO,"
"Of course, I graduated from Barrington University in M country with a major in business administration. I didn't bring my diploma today. I'll show it to you another day." After a pause, he continued in disbelief: "You know Tang Jun, you know Yang Lan's husband Wu Zheng, we It’s for one term,”
Ling Cang subconsciously asked: "What kind of term?"
"The diploma we bought together with money,"
"bought,"
"No, I mean, we spent money to apply for the exam together,"
"This topic is a bit far-fetched..." Tongtong felt cold sweat break out on his forehead, and stretched out his hand to wipe it: "First, tell me how to sell this jade pendant,"
"It's not a sale, it's a treat," Bu Xin corrected him seriously and then said, "Ten thousand yuan is really no less,"
"Forget it, stop making trouble," Ling Cang snatched the so-called jade pendant and returned it in disbelief: "You can sell this thing to me for ten yuan, but I don't think it's expensive."
Liang Xiangyu was a little anxious: "Boss, why do you say that?"
Ling Cang asked calmly: "Do you believe me?"
Liang Xiangyu nodded without hesitation: "Letter,"
"I have never tricked you, so just trust me again and don't buy this thing,"
Liang Xiangyu looked at Ling Cang, then looked at the Zen master who didn't believe him, and quickly made a choice between faith and trust: "Senior monk, you also heard what my boss said. It seems that I have no chance to invite him this time. ….Next time, I hope there will be a next time,”
Liang Xiangyu instinctively believed in Ling Cang, even if he had to sacrifice his faith. He could see that he didn't believe it. If he didn't deal with Ling Cang, he would not get any benefits: "This donor... Ling Cang, right? Excuse me, do you have faith?" "
"Yes, that is to believe in yourself, not the gods and Buddhas in the sky," Ling Cang told the unbelievers word by word: "However, I also said that I respect any kind of belief, because I believe that all beliefs are persuasive. It’s just that there are too many people nowadays who use the name of faith to satisfy their selfish interests. It can be said that what the Chinese people lack most today is faith. Even though every temple is full of incense, in fact, the Chinese people’s belief in Buddhism is purely Fool the Buddha, burn two sticks of incense for him, and hope that the Buddha will give you some benefits. It should be noted that the real greatness of Sakyamuni is that he hopes that people can escape suffering and achieve happiness, rather than letting people get promoted and make money..."
When these words were spoken, everyone had different reactions. Some of them were embarrassed if they didn’t believe in the Zen Master. Liang Xiangyu nodded thoughtfully, while Tongtong looked at Ling Cang with admiration and said seriously: "Ling Cang, you are so knowledgeable... …”
Although he no longer invited the jade pendant and he agreed with Ling Cang's words, Liang Xiangyu still respected this unbelieving Zen master: "Since the eminent monk is here, don't come in vain. I'll treat the eminent monk to a meal."
He touched his belly if he didn't believe it, and immediately agreed: "Okay,"
"I know there is a good vegetarian restaurant, but it's a little far away from here..."
"You don't have to eat vegetarian dishes. Even the poor monk likes big fish and meat." I don't know when, Bu Xie took off his cassock, revealing a set of casual clothes underneath. He was so fast that Ling Cang couldn't see clearly: "Wear meat and wine." After the intestinal tract has passed, will it remain in the heart of the Buddha?"
Liang Xiangyu immediately took Ling Cang and Bu Xin to a nearby restaurant and ordered a table of dishes. Tongtong had something to do and did not follow.
Bu Xie opened his cheeks, picked up his big molars, and ate a lot of food. The way he ate made Ling Cang feel ashamed. When most of the dishes on the table were wiped out like a whirlwind, Bu Xie stopped with satisfaction. While picking his teeth, he started chatting.
It was during this chat that Ling Cang was surprised to discover that Bu Xie actually had a profound understanding of Buddhism.
When he was in the mountains, the teachers gave Ling Cang a topic, which was to delve into Buddhism. The reason for this topic was, firstly, because it helps improve people’s wisdom, and secondly, Buddhism has had an impact on the history and culture of China. It has a huge impact. If you want to become a knowledgeable person, this is a must.
After several years, Ling Cang felt that he was not inferior to anyone else in terms of Buddhist knowledge, but now he was defeated in the face of unbelief.
At first, Ling Cang was very surprised how this religious liar turned into a Buddhist master. But soon, Ling Cang realized what was going on: "If you don't believe it, you must have an expert to guide you behind your back."
