Chapter 56: The poor learn the literature and the rich learn the martial arts
The scene was very embarrassing for a time.
Zhang Qi stopped talking, and Liu Zhenguo on the side also said nothing. As for Hua Borong, he would not speak at this time. Anyway, he had already done his favor, and even Mr. Liu couldn't say anything to him afterwards.
"Since Mr. Zhang doesn't want to, don't force it. Dazhu, let's see the guests off."
Fang Ming had no intention of staying, and Dazhu had no idea at all. Anyway, he had listened to Fang Ming, and he had done so since he was a child. If Fang Ming said to see off guests, then he would see them off.
"I'll give it, I'll give it now."
Zhang Qi gritted his teeth. He could see that if he didn't pay him, the boss Fang in front of him would really let him go.
"Dazhu, give him a bank card number."
Within two days, Fang Ming asked Dazhu to open a bank account. From now on, all the income from the store would be put into this account. When the final dividend was paid, the two brothers would divide the money in the account according to the agreed proportion.
Ten minutes later, Dazhu received the bank transfer information and 200,000 yuan had arrived.
"Dazhu, close the door. Come upstairs with me."
Fang Ming walked towards the second floor. Zhang Qi quickly followed after seeing this. As for Hua Borong, he supported Liu Zhenguo and walked towards the second floor. Looking at Zhang Qi walking in front, Liu Zhenguo had a look of disappointment on his face.
For Zhang Qi, he not only trained him as a student, but also regarded him as his close disciple. However, he did not expect that Zhang Qi would actually commit suicide, and now judging from Zhang Qi's behavior, he was even more dissatisfied.
The slightest respect for him as a teacher and the filial piety shown in the past were just superficial.
"Hey, Fang Ming, this second floor...did you carve it yourself?"
As soon as Hua Mingming arrived on the second floor, he saw the twelve freshly carved objects on the table. He was about to walk over and reach out to touch them, but Fang Ming quickly stopped him, "Don't touch them."
"It's not a fragile thing that you shouldn't touch, but the carving you made is really ugly."
Hua Mingming complained, but after seeing Fang Ming's serious expression, he still didn't reach out to touch it. Fang Ming also walked to the table, opened the drawer, and carefully put away the twelve carvings, of course, mainly the one
The pendant that sets the tone for success.
The object that sets the pen is the same as the object that is consecrated. If it is an object that is worn close to the body, others are generally not allowed to touch it, especially at the beginning, because the object has not recognized its owner at this time. If there are too many
If people touch it, its efficacy will be greatly reduced.
To give a very simple example, just like feeding a pet, when the pet is very young, if many people feed it together, then the pet must be equally affectionate to these people. But if only one person feeds it since it was a child,
Then the pet will only recognize this person as its owner.
As for when the pet grows up and other people feed it, it is unlikely that they will have as deep feelings for the owner. The principle is the same.
"You're so stingy that I won't even let you look at it, and I won't despise your poor carving skills." Hua Mingming curled his lips and muttered.
Fang Ming ignored Hua Mingming and walked to the corner on the right, where there were two screens. When they saw these two screens, Hua Borong and Hua Mingming had doubts on their faces, because these two screens
They hadn't seen it when they came last time. Fang Ming had added it in the past few days.
"Dazhu is here to help!"
Fang Ming called Dazhu and the two of them worked together to push the two screens apart. When the screen was pushed open to reveal the scene inside, Hua Borong and Hua Mingming opened their mouths, and Liu Zhenguo and Zhang Qi on the side were also shocked.
Two lamp stands with a height of three meters were placed there. Each lamp stand had eighteen levels. The bottom circle was more than one meter in diameter and contained dozens of oil lamps, while the top circle had only one.
"Fang Ming, what are you doing?"
Hua Mingming was amazed. He had only seen this kind of lamp stand in some temples and Taoist temples. However, they were called longevity lamps or wishing lamps, and one had to donate money to light one, especially in some famous Taoist temples and temples.
, it is normal to pay thousands to tens of thousands just for lighting one such lamp, and the top one can even cost tens or even millions.
However, those temples and Taoist temples do not use oil lamps, but use a kind of decoration with lights built into the Buddha statue. Firstly, it is simple and convenient, and secondly, because the oil lamp is easy to extinguish.
Once it is extinguished, the meaning is not good. After all, those who light these lamps come with good wishes. If the lamp goes out, doesn't it mean that their wishes cannot be realized?
In addition to these two extremely eye-catching lamp stands, there is also a wooden stand that also attracted the attention of several people. There is only one incense burner on the wooden stand, but this incense burner is very conspicuous, and the whole thing is golden and sparkling.
A wooden frame, an incense burner, and four chairs, this is all Hua Borong and the others have seen so far.
"Fang Ming, where did you get the gold plating on this incense burner? It looks just like the real thing. Even the weight feels about the same. Ouch...fuck!"
Hua Mingming's expression suddenly became distorted, because he had just picked up the incense burner and touched it a few times. He felt something was wrong, then he put it in his mouth and bit it. Looking at the incense burner that was still intact, he was dumbfounded.
"Fang...Fang Ming, don't tell me that this incense burner is really made of gold?" Hua Mingming's voice was trembling. This incense burner weighs at least four or five kilograms. If it is made of gold, what does that mean?
This incense burner alone is worth millions.
"What do you think?"
Fang Ming glanced at Hua Mingming. He brought this incense burner from the Taoist temple. It was indeed made of pure gold. Of course, bringing such an incense burner was not just to show off, but because pure gold incense burners are more useful in some aspects.
big.
As the saying goes, if people want clothes, Buddhas should wear gold. Even gods and Buddhas like to cast gold bodies. You can imagine how powerful gold is.
The same person is lighting incense and praying. Which one is easier for the gods to sense, whether it is an ordinary stove or a gold incense burner, is naturally the latter.
These days, gods and Buddhas are very powerful.
It is said that sincerity leads to spiritual success, but if you have the same sincerity, the bonus effect of the golden incense burner will naturally be better.
In fact, this is like asking someone to do something for you and treat them to a meal. If you ask them to take the bus, they will be willing to come. Even if it is worse, you will have to take a special car to come, right?
The principles are the same, which is why there are temples and Taoist temples, because the monks and Taoist priests make serving these gods and Buddhas comfortable and give them face.
The Buddha protects all living beings. Can he bless so many living beings?
"A censer made of pure gold. You are probably the only one in the world who can make such a thing."
Hua Mingming held it in for a long time and finally calmed down and sighed. At this moment, Zhang Qi's eyes when he looked at Fang Ming also changed slightly. He felt a little unhappy after paying two hundred thousand before, but thinking that the other party didn't even have an incense burner.
Made of pure gold, his discomfort was slightly lessened.
"Is an incense burner made of pure gold considered a waste?"
Fang Ming curled his lips. As far as he knew, every time his master opened the altar, he dressed in an ostentatious outfit. The desk was made of HN huanghuali and was carved by a master carver for three years. He used
Zen incense is also made from agarwood.
In addition, all the yellow paper used is specially ordered and made using a very ancient and complicated papermaking process. Such yellow paper is sold by the sheet.
A ritual ceremony would probably cost tens of thousands at least, so sometimes Fang Ming would sigh with emotion, saying that if you are poor and rich, you can learn martial arts, but if you want to lose your family, it is better to become a monk or Taoist priest.
Of course, this does not refer to ordinary monks and Taoist priests, but to monks and Taoist priests who are truly starting to practice cultivation.
However, according to his master, spending money like this is not just to attract gods and Buddhas, but sometimes it is also a way to waste money and eliminate disasters.
"The laws of heaven are constant. Most of the things we do go against the laws of nature. Sometimes we can spend what we have to spend. Being extravagant is not a bad thing."
Fang Ming still didn't quite understand the meaning of the master's words, but after the master said these words, he just smiled at him without explaining, saying that he would naturally understand the meaning of these words in the future.
