Xue Chen turned to look at the front of the Great Buddha Hall and saw Master Miaohai walking back into the hall supported by two monks.
He turned back to Wang Dong and the others and said, "If you are in a hurry, you don't have to wait for me."
Hearing this, Wang Hongmei waved her hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "There's no rush, no rush, go quickly, don't keep Master Miaohai waiting, we're here waiting for you to come back."
"Okay." Xue Chen nodded.
Seeing Xue Chen follow the middle-aged monk and disappear in front of the Great Buddha Hall, many tourists in the courtyard shook their heads unwillingly, got up one after another, and prepared to leave.
Zeng Yulong frowned, glanced at Xu Ming who had a gloomy expression on the side, and hesitantly asked in a low voice: "Brother Ming, are we now?"
"wait!"
Xu Ming spit out this word with great reluctance.
He never expected that Xue Chen would be chosen as the destined person. The originally planned plan was completely disrupted. If someone else was chosen as the destined person, he could just walk over and give a solution that the other party could not understand.
I could easily buy the beads at the price I refused.
But will Xue Chen sell the beads to him if he gets them? He knows very well that he probably won't, but he still has to wait, even if there is only a little chance, he will try it, because the beads will have a great impact on him and Galaxy Industry.
meaning and use.
"trouble marker!"
Thinking that Xue Chen would bring bad luck to him every time he appeared in front of him, Xu Ming's teeth itched, but he became more and more helpless against Xue Chen.
Xue Chen followed the middle-aged monk into the Great Buddha Hall, passed through a back door on one side of the hall, and went straight to a room filled with the scent of sandalwood.
Master Miaohai, who had just finished teaching Buddhism, was wearing a yellow monk's robe and sitting on a wooden platform. There were three other elderly monks sitting next to him. As soon as Xue Chen entered the room, all the people's eyes turned to him.
.
The middle-aged monk who led the way introduced Xue Chen. Master Miaohai naturally needed no words. The other three monks were the three most senior monks in Cicada Temple, and one of them was also the abbot of the temple.
Xue Chen stood in the center of the room, clasped his hands, and bowed slightly to the four monks: "Xue Chen, my boy, I have met Master Miaohai and the three masters."
The three monks from Cicada Temple just nodded without speaking, while Master Miaohai waved with a warm face and said slowly: "Come here."
Xue Chen's eyes moved, and he immediately walked over and stood in front of Master Miaohai, less than half a meter away.
A closer look shows that Master Miaohai is indeed very old. His tawny skin is covered with age spots, wrinkled like old tree bark, and he is very thin. There are blue blood vessels under the skin.
They were all clearly raised slightly, and when Xue Chen saw them, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
What made him even more certain was that the Master Miaohai in front of him was indeed filled with spiritual energy, but this spiritual energy was different from the spiritual energy he had absorbed from antiques and statues of gods and Buddhas. This difference made him
He couldn't explain clearly.
Now that he thought about it carefully, although the spiritual energy in antiques and statues of gods and Buddhas could essentially be absorbed by ancient jade, there were also subtle differences, but he had not seriously thought about this issue.
Now he understands this. The magical spiritual energy in the world is not exactly the same. There are differences and changes. At least he has now seen three kinds of spiritual energy from different channels, antiques, statues of gods and Buddhas, and this one in front of him.
An eminent monk.
"Can I suck the spiritual energy out of his body?"
As soon as this idea appeared in his mind, Xue Chen was shocked and immediately threw the idea out of his head.
If it can really absorb and suck away the spiritual energy of the old monk in front of him, what will happen to the person? Will he die? Or will there be no impact at all?
Xue Chen couldn't imagine it, and he didn't intend to try it. If he really killed this enlightened monk because of his curiosity, it would be a sin, and he would feel extremely guilty.
At this time, Master Miaohai looked up at Xue Chen and slowly stretched out a hand to touch the top of Xue Chen's head. Xue Chen did not dodge.
The three monks sitting aside and the middle-aged monk standing at the door were all looking at Master Miaohai and Xue Chen, because even the four of them didn't know why they decided that Xue Chen was a destined person.
When a pair of dry palms were placed on Xue Chen's head, Master Miaohai's hazy eyes suddenly glowed with excitement. He muttered a few words to himself, but his voice was very thin and vague.
It was unclear, so even Xue Chen, who was nearest, couldn't hear clearly what was said.
At the same time, the four monks on the side also noticed a slight change in the way Master Miaohai looked at Xue Chen. It was full of affirmation, appreciation, kindness, and there were some things they couldn't understand.
.
The hand stayed on top of the head for about ten seconds before being taken back, and then put into his monk's robe. When he took it out again, there was already a string of Buddhist beads in his hand. Master Miaohai
Without too many words, he handed it directly into Xue Chen's hands.
Xue Chen took the beads, held them in his hand and looked down. He saw that the beads bracelet was made of Hainan sandalwood and had 18 beads in total.
Although it is not a very precious wood species, each bead is very plump and has a thick layer of patina. It looks translucent and shiny, shining with a warm luster.
"Thank you Master Miaohai."
Xue Chen took the string of beads without any politeness, put it directly into his hand, bowed and thanked him.
Master Miaohai smiled kindly and nodded: "I can feel that you possess wisdom. If you enter my Buddhist door, one day..."
Xue Chen took a step back in fright, his eyes twitched, and he quickly said: "Thank you Master Miaohai for the compliment, but I have no plans to become a monk." He thought to himself that he was not married and had children, so how could he become a monk? Bah, he just got married and had children.
Now, I can't become a monk.
"Huh? He said that I possess wisdom. What kind of wisdom? Does it mean the spiritual energy that I absorbed into my eyes through the ancient jade? Can he detect it?"
Thinking of this, Xue Chen thought. If this was the case, then it would be understandable why Master Miaohai singled him out among thousands of people. But he had doubts again, how did Master Miaohai do it?
Seeing Xue Chen's reaction, Master Miaohai did not continue, but still smiled: "There is practice everywhere in the world, there is no need to stick to the monastery, you can go."
Xue Chen had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't know how to speak. He thought for a moment, and finally thanked him, nodded with the other four monks in the room, and left the room.
Standing at the door of the Great Buddha Hall, Xue Chen paused for a moment, thinking to himself that it was originally a simple trip to accompany Wang Dong and Luo Bing to listen to Buddhist lectures, but unexpectedly he had a lot of questions, and he still couldn't find the answer.
, couldn’t help frowning and shaking his head.
"It turns out that besides myself, there are other people whose bodies also have spiritual energy..."
This is Xue Chen's biggest discovery today, and it also raises a question, but it is obvious that there are very few people who can possess spiritual energy, at least not among the various people he sees every day, and Master Miaohai is the first person he has discovered.
A person with spiritual energy, and not many.
When they walked out of the Great Buddha Hall, Wang Hongmei, Luo Bing and Wang Dong surrounded them. Wang Hongmei was the first to ask eagerly, and the questions were like a barrage: "Xue Chen, are you the destined one? Master Miaohai sends you a gift.
Have you strung the beads on your bracelet? Where are they? Take them out and show them to me..."
Wang Dong also wanted to ask these questions, but Wang Hongmei finished them all and simply closed his mouth and just looked on with curiosity.
Xue Chen reached into his pocket, took out the Buddhist beads bracelet, handed it to Wang Hongmei's hand, and said, "This is it."
Wang Dong glanced at it and said with some disappointment: "It's Hainan sandalwood. The material is very ordinary."
Wang Hongmei asked hurriedly: "Is it very cheap?"
"It's just so-so. It's not very expensive. If it's small-leaf rosewood, it's okay." Wang Dong said.
When Wang Hongmei heard what Wang Dong said, her disappointment at not being chosen as the destined person faded away a little. After looking at it for a few times, she handed it back to Xue Chen's hands.
"Let's go down the mountain too." Luo Bing said.
And just when the four of them left the temple and went down the mountain, Xu Ming appeared in the sight of several people and walked in front of them.
"Xue Chen, I'm not talking nonsense. Let me ask you, did you get the Buddhist beads bracelet given by Master Miaohai?"
Before Xue Chen could speak, Wang Dong took the lead, raised his head, and replied: "Master Miaohai chose old Xue as a destined person, so naturally he gave him a Buddha beads bracelet. Why do you ask?"
Ignoring Wang Dong, Xu Ming looked directly at Xue Chen: "Xue Chen, please give me a price. I want that string of beads!"
Seeing Xu Ming opening his mouth to buy the bracelet gifted by Master Miaohai from his hand, Xue Chen also replied directly with two words: "Not for sale."
Xu Ming had long expected that he would not buy it from Xue Chen so easily, so he just frowned, but the expression on his face remained calm: "Xue Chen, grudges are grudges, business is business, I hope you can
Clearly, this is the quality a businessman should have. What is the use of keeping that string of beads? Why not sell it to me, I am willing to pay a price that satisfies you."
Xue Chen didn't listen to Xu Ming's words at all. This string of beads was indeed of no use to him, but Master Miaohai personally gave it to him, which had extraordinary significance. He was not short of money now, so why should he sell it?
?What’s more, selling it to Xu Ming is even more impossible.
"Not for sale."
After throwing away these two words, Xue Chen took a step away and walked towards the outside of the temple without looking back.
Xu Ming stood behind and said loudly: "I will pay 500,000 yuan!"
Xue Chen didn't even pause.
"Eight hundred thousand!"
When a price was shouted out again, Xue Chen had already walked to the door of the temple and still didn't look back. (To be continued)
