Ye Fan readily agreed and made an appointment to meet at a place two days later. He wanted to see who the so-called guru was and whether he could really manifest miracles.
City B has a long history. There are some historical sites in the city, but it also has modern vitality. It is one of the largest cities in China. Over the past 20 years, it has become more prosperous.
Ye Fan was walking on the street with people coming and going... The flow was endless. After traveling for so many years, walking in a place like this again felt like he was in another world.
Although he has been back for a few days, he has been immersed in his own world and cannot extricate himself. He has never seriously experienced the hustle and bustle of the city.
It has to be said that City B is developing very fast. There are many high-rise buildings lined up one after another. This famous pedestrian street is even wider. Various brand stores are connected in a row. There is an endless stream of people walking shoulder to shoulder.
Suddenly, Ye Fan saw a poster. On it was an exquisite mutton-fat jade bottle, exuding a mysterious aura. It was like an artifact, extremely magnificent. Hua looked startled. This was a monk's artifact. After looking carefully,
He couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Isn't this the magic weapon that he crushed into more than a dozen pieces and entrusted it to be auctioned?
After careful observation, he discovered that this was a promotion by Guardian Auction House, which had really put some thought into maximizing its profits.
They assembled the jade purification bottles, but Ye Fan did not allow them to be auctioned as a whole, but could only be auctioned piece by piece. The quality of this jade is unparalleled, it is a top-quality jade.
Each piece is very expensive, but after selling two pieces, they were unwilling to do so and made such a publicity, telling people that if they were collected together, they could be reconstructed into a jade purification vase!
I have to say that the effect was excellent. It caused a great sensation in City B in the past few days and quickly spread to various places. Now it has been hyped like crazy, with posters everywhere.
In the past few days, with the sale of the third mutton-fat jade block and the fourth mutton-fat jade block, the entire collecting world has been abuzz. This is a rare treasure.
Sky-high price!
Every piece of jade has been photographed at a sky-high price and the transaction amount is frighteningly high. All major media are reporting on it and all portals are competing to break the news.
This is indeed a rare mutton-fat jade, because Ye Fan carefully refined it when refining the weapon in the past, without any flaws. From an aesthetic point of view, it is indeed a rare fine product.
But this is not the main reason for being photographed at such a high price, it is all due to the power of hype. Now the price of this mysterious mutton-fat jade purification bottle is comparable to that of national treasure-level cultural relics.
Guardian Auction House uses very sophisticated methods to make full use of people's psychology, allowing the real rich to experience the excitement and sense of accomplishment of collecting items one by one, making the price higher than when it was intact.
At the same time, they displayed various information pictures, such as remaining stone statues of Buddhism and authentic pictures in ancient books. They said that this vase is exactly the same as the legendary Guanyin jade purification vase.
This explanation is undoubtedly very attractive. Even though it is known that it cannot be true, it also makes people feel peaceful. If such a vase is placed, there will be an inexplicable comfort."
Maybe it is really the treasure vase that Guanyin Bodhisattva left in the world. Who among you has seen such a flawless jade? It is a miracle that there is not even a trace of impurities in such a large piece."
Even ordinary people are talking about the price. It can be imagined how successful the Guardian Auction House's hype is.
This heated discussion reached a high point because of several masters from India. Several old monks entered the auction house and all changed their colors when they saw the broken bottles. They excitedly recited the words "Sakyamuni Buddha".
This scene was photographed and posted on the Internet, which naturally caused an uproar. Someone recognized that one of the old monks was an Indian guru.
Although Buddhism is now in decline in India, with believers accounting for less than one percent of the population, it still has a certain base.
The treasure vase Guanyin left in the world has become a new topic of speculation. The price of the fragments of the mutton-fat jade pure bottle has been rising again!
Ye Fan was speechless. This was not his original intention, otherwise he would not have crushed it. He never thought it would reach this point, so he could only shake his head.
Two days later, Ye Fan met four masters and a group of companions in an antique teahouse.
When they met for the first time, Ye Fan was a little dazed because he found that an Indian guru was skillfully using a mobile phone to talk to people, and it was difficult to connect with the practitioners.
The translator explained that the master had encountered an extraordinary event and was urging India to send a large amount of money so that they could bid for a jade purification vase.
Ye Fan was petrified for a while, and the things he created were all internationalized, which was unexpected. After a little probing, he could see that the four masters were barely considered practitioners and had already entered the sea of suffering, and only one of them had stepped into it.
The realm of life spring.
He shook his head. At this age, it is impossible for these people to break through the first secret realm of the human body, the Wheel.
He did not despise this, on the contrary, he respected it, because in this age of the end of the Dharma, it is really not easy to embark on the path of spiritual practice. It is amazing to have such an achievement.
If it were in the Beidou Star Territory, these people would probably have great achievements and be worthy of the name "guru..." respected by the world.
"Why are the masters interested in that jade purification bottle?" Ye Fan asked casually.
"Bi, that is a Dharma artifact. Although it has been damaged and the Dharma is no longer there, it still makes us yearn for it." An old monk replied, while someone was interpreting.
Ye Ji nodded. Although these people were not knowledgeable enough, they still had some knowledge. They recognized it as a magic weapon. It seemed that the jade purification bottle might cause some trouble because of it.
Several old monks are over a hundred years old, especially the master who has stepped into the realm of life spring, which is as high as one hundred and twenty years old. However, they are all in high spirits and are naturally unusual among mortals.
These people were very humble and were real monks. They didn't talk about magical powers, but talked more about Buddhist scriptures and so-called miracles, etc., which the translator said.
He said that when he was in India, he saw a master holding an elephant's foot with one hand and saving a child. He also saw an old monk sitting cross-legged in the void, motionless, even though it was only for a short time.
moment. In addition, I also saw the white light emanating from the mouth and nose of an old monk penetrate the steel plate.
Ye Fan nodded and said nothing.
The Age of Dharma Ending is a kind of sadness for monks. These people can be said to be a few ascetics among tens of millions of people. They have reached this point purely through great perseverance.
He sighed softly, it seemed that it was really difficult to find a real monk on earth.
Not long after, several old monks directly talked about those ancient Sanskrit characters, with serious and serious expressions, and a kind of piety.
The ancient Sanskrit authority also came, and he turned out to be a disciple of a master. He was very famous in the field of ancient Sanskrit, but he was respectful in front of several masters.
Several masters asked for advice and asked where Ye Fan got the ancient Sanskrit characters. This was of great significance to them.
"You know these words, what do they mean?" Ye Fan asked.
The master said nothing, remembering that monks do not lie, and did not want to deceive Ye Fan, but he felt that the matter was important and did not dare to say more.
Finally, one of the masters asked his entourage to leave, leaving only the ancient language authority, who was also proficient in Chinese and could serve as a translator.
My teacher said that what they really mean is that they can open the way to Lingshan."
"The Lingshan Mountain where the ancient Bodhisattvas and Buddhas lived?" Ye Fan's eyes flashed.
"Yes." Several old monks nodded.
"Do you believe there is such a place?" Ye Fan asked seriously.
"Yes, it is in the western land, but after the death of the last Bodhisattva and the ancient Buddha, that place cannot be opened." A master said, saying that this is a secret passed down orally by eminent monks throughout the ages.
"Is it the original Taoist temple of Buddhism? It seems that there may really be a mysterious place, as vast as Mount Sumeru... I sensed it last time in Tibetan areas." Ye Fan thought to himself.
Several old monks begged to see the work of the sacred objects inscribed with ancient characters.
Ye Fan sighed, even if they took out the small stone Buddha, they did not have such powerful spiritual consciousness to penetrate in and observe. Even he had to spend a lot of effort to get deep into the Buddha's body.
He did not immediately agree, but asked some questions. He wanted to know if there were some ancient religious practices on the earth today. However, several masters were confused and shook their heads, not knowing.
"Have you not come across similar people? They are the kind of people who are righteous and behave like gods in the eyes of mortals." Ye Fan refused to give up.
They immediately nodded and said that such a person existed. The master who had reached the realm of life spring said that his master might know something because he was almost like that person.
According to him, the old monk has lived for more than 190 years, his Taoism is much higher than him, and he has witnessed many mysteries in his life.
"My teacher said that there is a Buddha in the west and a demon in the middle."
When Ye Fan heard this, he immediately laughed and asked him if he was talking about the Taoism in China as demons?
Several masters hurriedly joined together, shaking their heads and saying they didn't dare. They had no prejudice against Taoism. They said it was a real demon, but they had never seen it.
They have long realized that Ye Fan is not an ordinary person, otherwise they would not have been able to say so much to him and confide many secrets."
During World War II, my teacher practiced asceticism and came to China. He did not find any demons, but he did see a demon god."
An old monk who is more than 190 years old, his age is scary, spanning three centuries, and he has certainly experienced the Second World War.
However, this ascetic monk did not interact with the demon god of Middle Earth and avoided it far away. He only saw the overwhelming blood energy of the demon god."
Do you remember where you saw it?" Ye Fan asked.
"You need to ask my teacher for help."
Speaking of the existence of aliens and gods, another old monk told a past story that he had personally experienced. When he was young and practiced hard, he once saw a disheveled weirdo in a primitive rainforest in India.
Then he walked and disappeared into the mountains.
"My great-uncle said that there are truly great supernatural powers in Jerusalem."
Another master said that his great uncle lived to be 230 years old before passing away. During his lifetime, he went to the West alone and encountered a god-like existence.
Ye Fan's heart moved. Jerusalem is a holy city in the West. It has endless legends and is the center of ancient religious activities. Countless people from Christianity, Judaism, and Islam go there for pilgrimage every year. There may be something there now that will be worth it in the future.
Take a walk.
Several old monks begged again to see the sacred object with Sanskrit inscribed on it.
Ye Fan took out the small stone Buddha out of thin air, which immediately surprised several masters. They were even more convinced that most of these young people were god-like.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't see the secret inside the little stone Buddha. Finally, Ye Fan took out a stone slab, used it as a knife, scratched it, wrote the ancient characters, and imprinted the Dao marks on it.
Ye Fan handed the stone slab over and said: "Take it back to India and show it to your master. Let him come for a visit, or invite a few real masters with Taoism and practice to come to the Zhongtu Temple to discuss the small stone Buddha.
"
Several masters did not dare to neglect, put away the slate halfway, bowed deeply, and left.
At the same time, in the Guardian Auction House, a strange young man stared at the fragments of the mutton-fat jade vase with strange eyes, and then sneered repeatedly.
