The glory of the museum also brought Li Yang huge popularity and prestige.
Only in his thirties, he has already received many world-class honors and has been selected into the Who's Who of the World. As the only two remaining jade carving masters in the world, Li Yang has this qualification.
Time flies so fast, another three years have passed.
Little Yaozong is over six years old and is running happily on the small stone road in front of him. This is a group trip. The place Li Yang has chosen is **. This is also the second time Li Yang has entered Tibet.
"Brother Li, the last time we came here was nine years ago!"
Liu Gang, standing next to Li Yang, looked more mature and steady.
Liu Gang no longer works beside the old man. He has now become a minor leader, a major officer in the Central Security Office, and no longer has to accompany the chief.
In fact, Li Yang wanted him to retire from the army and leave any of his businesses to him. Any business would make Liu Gang no longer have to worry about money in his life.
Unfortunately, Liu Gang is used to life in the army and hopes to stay in the army. He likes his current job very much.
"Yes, nine years flies by in a blink of an eye!"
Li Yang nodded in agreement. They arrived in Zada County, **. Nine years ago, Li Yang, Liu Gang, and Zhao Yong came to ** together in order to find the Tiancongyun Sword.
It was also at that time that Li Yang met Zhao Yong and several people.
Today, these people are still serving Li Yang, but their identities have changed and they have become official employees of the Li Yang Museum. Zhao Yong is the director of the museum's security department.
These people are no longer Li Yang's personal bodyguards, but their income from the museum is not low.
When they were with Li Yang, Li Yang gave them a lot of salary and bonuses every year. Now they have all bought houses in Beijing, started families, and are very happy working in museums.
They had watched Li Yang find quite a few of these treasures with their own eyes, and they also had certain feelings for these treasures.
With them in charge of security, Li Yang felt most at ease.
"Adachiji Temple has arrived!"
Liu Gang suddenly said with a smile and pointed to a building at the corner not far ahead. It was a very ordinary temple gate. There are many small temples like this in the whole country.
"I don't know if the Living Buddha is here today, but we are taking the liberty to come here this time!"
Li Yang glanced at Liu Gang, and the two of them smiled together. Wang Jiajia and He Shanshan, who were next to them, looked at them doubtfully.
They didn't know that nine years ago, Li Yang and Liu Gang secretly came here once, and that was when they sneaked out while searching for the Tiancongyun Sword.
Anda Temple is not big, with only dozens of monks and lamas, but a famous living Buddha lives here. Kumar Living Buddha lives here.
In Japan, there are not many living Buddhas, but not all living Buddhas live in the Potala Palace. The Kumar Living Buddha of Anda Temple is very famous, but people who are not familiar with it don't know it at all.
"If you have something to hide from us, tell us!"
He Shanshan came over. She was impatient and asked directly.
"That's it..."
Li Yang smiled slightly and slowly told the story of his last visit to Anda Temple. In fact, it was not a big deal. Li Yang gambled on a very rare jadeite dzi bead in Ruili. The dzi bead needs the blessing of a living Buddha to have real effect.
The last time he came to Japan, Li Yang secretly placed the Dzi beads in Anda Temple.
Kumar Living Buddha was personally introduced by the old man, so he naturally has confidence in this person.
However, the jade Dzi Beads are extremely valuable. They are also glass jade Dzi Beads. Li Yang did not tell others about this news to avoid being aware of his evil intentions. Now that nine years have passed, it is time for Li Yang to retrieve the Dzi Beads.
"So that's it, don't those jade dzi beads look good?"
After hearing this, He Shanshan's eyes shone a little. She already had jade ornaments made by Li Yang himself. These ornaments were envied by many good sisters.
Now that she heard that the Dzi Bead was there, needless to say, she had already made her mind up on it.
"You don't have to think about whether it looks good or not. You can only make two strands of Dzi beads. I already have a plan, unless you are willing to compete with the old man!"
Li Yang immediately shook his head. He had gotten to know He Shanshan very well over the years and must nip her thoughts in the cradle.
Sure enough, she fainted as soon as she mentioned the old man. It was impossible for her to compete with the old man for something, let alone something that was helpful to the old man's health.
The old man is now over eighty years old, and his health is getting worse every year. He is now enjoying his old age. Even if He Shanshan is rebellious, it is impossible for him to snatch things from the old man.
Li Yang had indeed made arrangements for the two strings of Dzi beads.
One string was specially prepared for Mr. He, and the other string was planned to be taken by Chen Wuji first.
Chen Wuji is a bit older than the old man, but he is a descendant of Tai Chi and maintains good health. His body looks healthier than the old man, and he even looks younger.
Since Li Yang became the Grand Master, Chen Wuji has completely let go of everything. Although he has not sealed his sword, he no longer produces any works for the outside world.
Only occasionally, when I am interested, can I make a few things with Li Yang and compare them with each other.
However, he is getting older after all, and Li Yang also knows that Chen Wuji has begun to suffer from some hidden diseases. These are all hidden dangers left over from the difficult years of his youth. With this string of Dzi beads, he can alleviate these problems to a great extent.
question.
He Lao and Chen Wuji are both his masters, so there is nothing wrong with arranging these two strings of Dzi beads in this way.
While talking, several people had already arrived at the gate of Andaji Temple.
This is a very ordinary gate. After entering, a young monk immediately greeted him.
"Please tell me that Li Yang is here to visit the Living Buddha!"
Li Yang said something to the little monk with a smile on his face. The little monk raised his head in surprise, nodded immediately and ran back.
Generally speaking, when someone visits a living Buddha, they will explain their reasons. After all, there is only one living Buddha, and it is not just anyone who wants to see him. Normally, the young monk will definitely ask a few more questions.
But Li Yang has a different kind of power, which he has cultivated in recent years. After all, Li Yang is a grandmaster. He is a genuine grandmaster, so it is normal for him to have a different kind of power.
This power made the young monk feel that Li Yang was no ordinary person, so he ran over without asking any questions.
After a while, the young monk returned to the front and respectfully asked Li Yang and others to go to the back.
The living Buddha lives in the backyard of the temple, where ordinary pilgrims are not allowed to enter.
"Householder, long time no see!"
The living Buddha looked like he was in his fifties. He came to greet Li Yang at the door in person. Of course, it was only at the door of the backyard, but this was a big deal in the eyes of the young monk. When would the living Buddha come out to pick up people in person?
"Living Buddha, you are too polite!"
Li Yang gently bent over, clasping his hands together, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
Nine years ago, Kumar Living Buddha looked like this. In the past nine years, Li Yang has changed a lot. But Kumar Living Buddha still looks the same. These living Buddhas are indeed not that simple.
"Please come in, layman!"
The living Buddha smiled softly, and directly took Li Yang inside without continuing to be polite to Li Yang at the door.
The young monk did not have the honor to continue to follow, so he could only go to the front to greet the guests. He was still thinking about the identity of this young man Li Yang. In the eyes of the young monk, among the people who came to visit the living Buddha, he could be received.
.Li Yang is undoubtedly very young.
Entering inside and sitting down in a side room, Living Buddha Kumar sighed directly and said: "Back then, I thought the layman was extraordinary, but I didn't expect that I was wrong. He was the only one who became a master before he was thirty. The layman is the only one!"
"
"The Living Buddha deserves the award, but this kid is just lucky!"
"Luck is also a kind of capital, not to mention becoming a grandmaster is not just about luck!"
The living Buddha laughed loudly, took a deep look at Li Yang, and immediately invited Li Yang and the others to drink tea without saying what he just said.
A grandmaster will be respected by others everywhere, even a living Buddha is no exception. Anyone who can become a grandmaster is a true master, and living Buddhas are also human beings.
Living Buddha Kumar and Li Yang chatted briefly for a while, then stood up and left.
After a while, Living Buddha Kumar walked in with a box, and Li Yang and the others also focused their attention on the box.
After Living Buddha Kumar sat down, he pushed the box directly in front of Li Yang.
Wang Jiajia and He Shanshan had already known their purpose before, and now they both understood that Li Yang's priceless jade beads were in this box.
Li Yang slowly opened the box. After opening the box, his eyes immediately tightened.
Inside the box are indeed the eight jade dzi beads that Li Yang solved in Ruili, but the eight beads in front of him have become completely different from before.
The original Dzi beads are very beautiful, with the characteristics of glass jade, and are crystal clear.
Today's dzi beads no longer have that shiny feeling, but they have a smooth and moist feel, and there is a sense of simplicity and nobility on them. When you open the box, this different atmosphere comes to your face.
With just one glance, you can tell how extraordinary these beads are.
"Builder, you are fortunate to have fulfilled your mission. These jade dzi beads are as effective as the five-eyed dzi beads!"
Living Buddha Kumar said slowly that the Five-Eyed Dzi Beads are of the highest quality even among Dzi Beads. All of this is the result of his seven years of blessing Dzi Beads with Dharma.
Li Yang didn't know that for seven years, Living Buddha Kumar would chant sutras to these Dzi beads for an hour every night. Infected by the living Buddha's huge mind power, these Dzi beads became what they are now.
This alone is something you can't buy no matter how much money you spend.
"Living Buddha, thank you very much. This is a small gesture to add some incense to the temple!"
Li Yang quickly came to his senses and at the same time took out a check from his pocket and gently pushed it to Kumar Rinpoche.
The amount of the check was 10 million. Rinpoche Kumar just looked at Li Yang with a smile, without looking at the check, and pushed the check back.
The living Buddha Kumar does not need money. The incense in the temple is enough for daily expenses. Too much money will make some people have different intentions. After all, Li Yang lives in the city and does not understand the thoughts of these reclusive living Buddhas.
"Living Buddha, who are you?"
"Bushi, this is not why I do this!"
Living Buddha Kumar shook his head with a smile. He really did not think about reward. If he really wanted reward, he would not be a Living Buddha.
"In that case, let me leave you a souvenir!"
Li Yang hesitated for a moment and slowly took back the check. He had learned about Kumar's character from the old man. When Li Yang wanted to send money to Anda Temple, the old man had objected.
At that time, the old man gave Li Yang a proposal.
Instead of giving money, it is better to give a Buddha statue directly. Andaji is a pure temple and they don't need that much money, but the Buddha statue is different.
Li Yang is now a master, and the Buddha statue left behind by a master has far more meaning than money.
"souvenir?"
Living Buddha Kumar also seemed a little surprised, but he soon understood what the souvenir Li Yang was talking about.
Li Yang and Liu Gang went out to purchase a large piece of jade material, which was more than half a meter high.
Carving such a Buddha statue requires a lot of effort and time.
In the next two months, Li Yang and the others lived directly in Anda Temple. In order to thank Kumar Living Buddha for his help, Li Yang specially carved a half-meter-high statue of Sakyamuni Buddha for them.
To this, the living Buddha Kumar readily accepted it.
The old man's suggestion was indeed correct. Li Yang was a master. Even a living Buddha couldn't resist the temptation of his works, let alone a statue of Buddha.
More than two months later, a very majestic Buddha statue with infinite aura appeared in Andaji Temple.
Li Yang made this Buddha statue wholeheartedly. Living Buddha Kumar fell in love with this Buddha statue at first sight and was very satisfied with this 'souvenir'.
The master's technique is indeed extraordinary. This kind of Buddha statue is definitely the only one in the whole world.
This Buddha statue was carved by Li Yang in the temple. It has great spiritual energy. Later, after the Living Buddha Kumar and others continued to chant sutras and blessings in front of the Buddha statue, this Buddha statue finally became a Buddhist treasure.
These are all things for later. This Buddha statue went through several hardships in the future and finally settled in the Potala Palace and became one of the treasures of Tibetan Buddhism. However, this was already hundreds of years later.
This trip to Japan has come to a successful end for Li Yang.
This trip brought another unexpected gain to Li Yang. This gain was that Xiao Yaozong's temperament actually became more stable.
I don’t know if it was because of the Buddhist influence of Anda Temple, but Xiao Yaozong suddenly became a lot more sensible after he came back, and was no longer as naughty as before.
Li Yang also handed two strings of Dzi beads to the old man and Chen Wuji respectively.
The two old men liked this gift very much, and they both understood the value of these two gifts. Originally, a Dzi bead was worth almost eight million. Now, with the blessing of Buddhism, every Dzi bead is worth
The value is not less than 80 million, or even more.
However, the two old men didn't care about this. They were most satisfied with Li Yang's filial piety. Moreover, this treasure did help their health a lot, and to a certain extent, it also delayed their lifespan.
…………
Thanks again to my friend Yan Huiman for the multiple rewards of 1888 starting coins.
In fact, this chapter is already the ending. According to Xiao Yu’s previous thoughts, the name of the previous chapter should be called the finale of the Public Welfare Museum, and this chapter is the finale of the Emerald Dzi Bead. But some friends don’t like the separation of the names of the finale, so
