"Oh my god, these Buddha statues." Abbot Xuyun looked at the nine Buddha statues hanging on both sides of King Fudo and was stunned.
"It looks like the ink is still very new. Could it be that it was painted by Mr. Su?" Master Shengyan turned to look at Xiaozhi. Others also looked at Xiaozhi.
"Yes, it was drawn by Master Su Jing." Xiaozhi nodded. Although everyone had already guessed it, they couldn't help but gasp. Although these Buddha statues are not as good as this Buddha statue of Fudo Myoyo, and are worse than the original picture of the Prajna Meditation Sutra, they still have a Buddhist artistic conception. Even ordinary people, let alone them, can feel it.
They have converted to Buddhism for many years, but have never seen such a Buddhist statue anywhere else. Before, Su Jing just took out some Buddhist statues left over from history, but now he actually painted them himself. What does this mean? They, who were called Buddhist masters, were instantly compared to each other, even less than one ten thousandth of Su Jing.
They had known that Su Jing was proficient in Buddhism. When they saw Su Jing's painting skills, they thought that Su Jing might be able to paint Buddhist statues. However, I didn't expect that Su Jing would be so accomplished when he actually painted it.
"The ten Ming King Buddha statues are all available. It turns out that when he first established the Ming King Hall, it was not just to immobilize the Ming King. He had already thought of painting other Ming King Buddha statues." Abbot Xuyun muttered to himself.
Although Su Jing hung up the nine Ming King Buddha statues without their consent, they had no objection at all. Firstly, since the cooperation with Su Jing, the Mingwang Hall has been under the control of Su Jing, and Su Jing has the first say; secondly, these nine Mingwang Buddha statues are of great significance to the reputation and promotion of Lanruo Temple. , it’s totally a good thing, it’s not too late to be happy.
"Xiao Zhi, protect these ten Ming Kings and make sure nothing happens." Master Sheng Yan said.
"I know, but Master Su Jing said that these nine Buddha statues will be sold if the price is right." Xiaozhi said.
"What?" Everyone was stunned, and their first reaction was to disagree. How could such a Buddha statue be sold
"Master Su Jing said that if he sells one, he will paint another one. Among the ten Buddha statues in Mingwang Hall, there will never be any shortage." Xiaozhi added, and Master Shengyan, Abbot Xuyun and others were relieved. . Yes, these nine Buddha statues are not non-renewable resources left over from history, but were painted by Su Jing. How he wants to sell them is his business, and they can be repainted after they are sold, without any impact on the Mingwang Palace.
Early the next morning, as soon as Lanruo Temple opened, a group of tourists arrived. After they entered the temple, the first place they went to was the Mingwang Hall. Now the Mingwang Hall is the signature of Lanruo Temple. Many people come here for no other reason than the Mingwang Hall.
The first wave of tourists entered the Mingwang Hall and were stunned when they saw nine more Buddha statues. Then they showed surprise and looked at all nine Buddha statues with shining eyes. Their eyes were like those of a pervert looking at an unclothed person. Like a beautiful woman.
"Why are there nine more portraits? The introduction didn't mention it."
"It wasn't there when I came yesterday. It should be newly added."
"These nine Buddha statues are so Buddhist. It's so worthwhile for us to come and pay homage to ten bright kings at one time."
"Haha, this is also a kind of fate."
"Your time is up, please start lighting incense." The monk next to me reminded.
"Why so fast? We just came in."
"Ten Ming Kings have only looked at it once."
"Master, can you give me more time?"
Several tourists had mixed emotions, and there were nine more Mingwang Buddha statues. This was a joyful thing. But what is depressing is that time has passed by accident, and I haven’t had time to pray properly. However, the time was as long as it was stipulated. Seeing that the monk did not agree, they did not dare to cause trouble for fear of making the Bodhisattva angry, so they quickly speeded up their actions to burn incense and pay homage, thinking of coming back later.
The next wave of tourists, and the next wave after that, were also moved by the ten Ming Kings.
Soon, the news spread, and was also posted on the Internet, forums, and post bars. Lanruo Temple was also very popular on the Internet, and there was even a Lanruo Temple Bar and Lanruo Temple Weibo, so it spread quickly, so it was originally The hot Lanruo Temple was even more crowded today. Moreover, many people were reluctant to leave after paying homage once and ran to the back to line up, so Lanruo Temple was overcrowded.
A fat middle-aged man who was sweating profusely finally entered the Mingwang Hall without any complaints. His face was full of piety. When he saw the nine extra Mingwang Buddha statues as rumored, he suddenly became happy, and then Kneel down before Fudo Myooh and worship with all your heart.
Before he came here for the first time, he had thoughts of committing suicide, but it was this Fudo Ming King who gave him the courage. Now, relying on his business experience and hard work, he has been down-to-earth and step-by-step. He has almost paid off his debts, his relationship with his wife is getting better day by day, and his future is bright. Therefore, he is more pious than ordinary people towards King Fudo.
On the futon two positions away from the fat middle-aged man, kneeling was a short and lean middle-aged man with dark skin. It was Tanaka Yi who cooperated with Su Jing Agriculture. He comes here to sit for an hour almost every day, and occasionally brings his wife and son with him. This is a privilege given by Su Jing. However, today I heard that there were nine more Mingwang Buddha statues, and he happened to be nearby, so I couldn't wait to take a look first. I felt that the trip was worth it.
Xiaozhi scanned the whole place and saw that the tourists had reached the highest peak of the day and walked in front of Fudo Myoō. He said loudly: "Excuse me, I want to announce something here. My master said that these nine portraits of Myoō can be For sale. If you want to buy it, write your name and price on the sign below. After one month, the highest bidder will get it."
Xiaozhi's words were like a bombshell, blowing up the whole place.
"What, can it be sold, is it real or fake?"
"Are you really willing to sell this kind of Buddha statue?"
"Master Xiaozhi, you can't make such a joke." The slightly fat middle-aged man stood up excitedly.
"Yes, you can't say such nonsense. Mr. Su is really willing to sell them?" Tanaka Yi also stood up excitedly.
"Monks don't lie. My master Su Jing really said that the one with the highest price will get it." Xiaozhi nodded in confirmation, and the whole audience suddenly burst into discussion. The discussion spread along the queue, and everyone went crazy with excitement. .
"It's actually for sale, so I'll buy one no matter what."
"I want to buy one too. I want this Great Mighty Deming King. No one can steal it from me."
"I want this Ma Shouming King."
People in the Mingwang Palace were all crazy with excitement. They all walked up and wrote their names and amounts. Some wrote ten thousand, some wrote thirty thousand... A fat middle-aged man also came forward. He was very confused. He felt that these Buddha statues should be very large. valuable. If he was willing to pay a high price to buy it when he was in his glory, but now his career has just started again, the debt has not been fully paid off, and there is not so much spare money.
"The debt can be paid off soon. It's worth spending money for the Buddha statue. At most, you can save a little elsewhere, or even sell a car." So, the slightly fat middle-aged man walked under his favorite King Dawei Deming and wrote his name to pay the price. There was an amount—five hundred thousand. However, as soon as he walked away, Tanaka Yi followed closely and wrote down his name and the amount - three million, as if he wanted to buy back all nine paintings.
The slightly fat middle-aged man's eyes almost popped out of his head. How could I argue with him like this? So, he turned his attention to other Buddha statues, but was horrified to find that the prices of other Buddha statues also soared, and soon exceeded 500,000. What made him even more speechless was that after Tanaka Yi finished bidding for King Weide Ming, he actually wrote his name and price under the other eight Buddha statues, all of which were three million.
The slightly fat middle-aged people are depressed, and those who wrote 10,000 to 20,000 yuan are even more depressed. Damn it, it seems that even if the Buddha statue is to be sold, it has nothing to do with me. If it is such a treasure, rich people want it more, so it is my turn.
News of the sale of the nine Mingwang Buddha statues quickly spread to the Internet.
When Boss Wu heard the news, he was immediately moved. He immediately put down some things in his hands and drove quickly to Lanruo Temple. Tang Hao, Xie Lao and other collectors from all over the city, province, and even across the country were moved. Like worker bees summoned by the mother bee, they rushed to Lanruo Temple from all over the world. The nine three hundred pieces written by Tanaka Yi Ten thousand, all destroyed within one day.
