"Brother, you still have good eyesight. After a while, don't hide anything, just tell me!" Lin Tai smiled.
"It's a piece of cake! How dare a young monk make a decision with you? What a joke, watch me destroy his prestige!" Song Tianqiao said proudly.
Lin Tai was even happier. Li He and Cui Jiandong were fawning on the side, and the atmosphere between them became more and more lively.
Not far away, Liu Ying asked Lin Xi curiously: "Who is this?"
"His name is Song Tianqiao. He is a partner of my dad's company. It is said that he is a very famous construction expert in the province. He has a lot of research on ancient and modern Chinese and foreign architecture, antiques, etc. He has his own company, but they are not involved in the construction. , He is only responsible for the design. If you want them to build a house, don’t even think about it without paying several times the price of other colleagues! One of the landmarks in our provincial capital was designed by him, which is very impressive." When Lin Xi said this, his eyes flickered, obviously The girl's heart also beat.
"So powerful?" Liu Ying was also shocked. Lin Tai was as awesome as his father, but according to Lin Xi, Song Tianqiao was as awesome as him! These were two concepts, and Liu Ying couldn't help but glance at Song Tianqiao.
"Of course, my brother really called Song Tianqiao here, and he will dig out the foundation of this temple. The monk is going to be miserable... This guy, if he had given in before and gave my brother some face, he wouldn't have done it. As for the situation that has reached this point, it will be fine this time, and his pride will soon become a laughing stock." Lin Xi felt a little unbearable, after all, the monk was quite handsome.
Liu Ying was a little worried, but when she thought about Fang Zheng's arrogant look, she immediately put her worries behind her. She also felt that Fang Zheng should be taught a lesson, otherwise he would not be able to recognize the reality at all.
Lin Tai called them over there, and several people got together and walked towards Yizhi Temple again.
From a distance, he saw Fang Zheng standing at the door studying the two small trees at the door. Lin Tai raised his eyebrows. How could the person he wanted to step on not be by his side
So Lin Tai shouted: "Fang Zheng, why don't you greet your friends when they come?"
Fang Zheng looked back. If it was just Lin Tai and the others, Fang Zheng would certainly not bother to care. But with Liu Ying here, he really didn't care, and he still felt a little guilty. Cause and effect, he has not repaid the kindness he received back then.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng walked over.
Lin Tai immediately introduced Song Tianqiao to Fang Zheng, and Fang Zheng nodded as a greeting. Since he was here to cause trouble, Fang Zheng would not greet him with a smile.
Song Tianqiao was too lazy to talk to Fang Zheng. In his eyes, among the people present, only Lin Tai and Lin Xi were qualified to be friends with him. The rest of the people, even Liu Ying, he just looked at Lin Tai a second time. When you are young and wealthy, you are high-spirited and your eyes are naturally high. When facing Fang Zheng, he didn't take it seriously. He was going to offend him anyway. It didn't matter whether he was offended early or late.
While several people were talking, they came to the bottom of the Bell Tower and Drum Tower.
Lin Tai glanced at Fang Zheng and said, "Abbot Fang Zheng, why don't you introduce it to us? Your bell tower is nice. It looks like it's worth a lot of money."
Fang Zheng really didn't know how much the clock tower cost, but he still knew how to time the big clock on it, so he nodded and said, "It is said to be priceless."
"Pfft!" When Li He heard this, he laughed out loud. He couldn't see the big clock from this angle. All he could see was the bell tower and the guardrail of the bell tower. He could vaguely see the Yongle Bell in the corner, but he didn't take it seriously.
Cui Jiandong laughed loudly and said, "Fangzheng, are you bragging a little too much? This clock tower is worth a fortune? Haha... Then isn't my home worth a whole earth?"
Liu Ying and Lin Xi were behind, shaking their heads slightly. This monk was addicted to bragging... He really dared to say such big words! Is a clock tower worth a fortune? Does he think this is a world-class protected cultural relic
Lin Tai smiled and said: "Brother Song, it seems that my classmate has been deceived. Can you help me?"
Song Tianqiao nodded and said: "There are a lot of scammers these days. Now that I'm here, for Brother Lin's sake, I won't charge any fees and help this young monk palm his eyes."
After saying that, Song Tianqiao glanced at Fang Zheng, only to find that Fang Zheng had a calm face and looked at him with a smile, as if he was not afraid of being exposed at all.
"I want to see where you get your confidence!" Song Tianqiao sneered in his heart. Although he hadn't looked carefully yet, he could see many clues about the craftsmanship and materials of the clock tower at a glance, and he knew it well.
Song Tianqiao ignored Fang Zheng and walked around the bell tower. Looking from the bottom up was a process, but after just looking at the craftsmanship below, Song Tianqiao smiled, then shook his head and walked back without looking at it. Said: "This should be the work of Jingwen Studio in Heishan City. The techniques on it are those of several familiar masters. Their craftsmanship is good, but it is still much worse than the masters in the province. As for the materials? , it’s a bit particular, but it’s all old materials with mediocre materials, not top-notch materials. The cost of building your bell tower is only 1.8 million. If it’s worth a fortune, I’ll eat this bell tower!”
When Lin Tai heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He glanced at Fang Zheng and said with a smile: "Old classmate, it seems you have been deceived. Oops... This man should go out more often, otherwise he will stay in the well and have no idea about the outside world. It’s so big. People use such a crappy thing to fool you into saying it’s worth a fortune. To be honest, my three-year-old nephew doesn’t believe it.”
Taoist Fangzheng admired Song Tianqiao very much. He could tell everything after just a few glances, but couldn't this guy finish reading it before talking
Seeing that Fang Zheng didn't say anything, Lin Tai thought that Fang Zheng was too embarrassed to say anything, so he asked, "Fang Zheng, how much is your drum tower worth?"
Fang Zheng said without thinking: "It's priceless."
"Haha..." As soon as Fang Zheng said these words, Lin Tai, Cui Jiandong, Li He, and even Song Tianqiao burst into laughter.
Liu Ying looked at Fang Zheng with a look of hatred, she had never seen such a stupid person! They've all been exposed, and yet they're still holding on here, so they're worth a fortune? Doesn't it hurt even if I slap you? Are you going to continue to be beaten? How can you be so thick-skinned? She wanted to help but she didn't know how to help.
Lin Xi covered her face and stopped looking. She was doubting her own vision now. This monk was handsome, but he was also a little too silly... Although he was a little silly and cute.
"Brother Song, it seems that my classmate has been deceived quite a lot. Give him another shot?" Lin Tai said with high spirits.
Song Tianqiao shook his head and said: "Don't look at it. The Drum Tower and the Bell Tower are built exactly the same. It looks like they were built by a group of people. The prices are about the same. You, my classmate... This is the first time I've met someone so silly and cute. This time, Still not awake.”
Lin Tai patted Fang Zheng and said: "Old classmate, wake up. Don't even think about it. Not to mention your small temple, even Baiyun Temple, there is no way someone would donate a priceless building. You are still too young. ”
"That's right, Fang Zheng, why don't you thank Brother Lin and Brother Song? Without them speaking up, you would still be in the dark. This is discovered by us. If others expose it, wouldn't you laugh it off?" Cui Jiandong smiled.
Li He patted Fang Zheng and said, "Fang Zheng, tell me what you think now."
Several people looked at Fang Zheng with amused expressions. They wanted to see what else Fang Zheng could say if he was so embarrassed.
As a result, Fang Zheng glanced at them, smiled calmly and said, "Have you ever heard of a story?"
"What story?" Everyone asked subconsciously.
"Buy a casket and return a pearl." Fang Zheng said.
Song Tianqiao was immediately furious. Was this questioning his professional ability
Before Song Tianqiao could speak, Fang Zheng continued: "Go up and have a look, and then tell me how much it's worth!"
Song Tianqiao looked at Fang Zheng, who looked at him calmly. The two looked at each other. Song Tianqiao couldn't see Fang Zheng's anger. All he saw was a calmness like the sea, with endless coldness in it. It was as if he was just a drop in the ocean in Fang Zheng's eyes, not worth mentioning!
Song Tianqiao gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, don't try to fool me with any high imitation things. Today, I will dig out all your old records and make you convinced!"
After saying that, Song Tianqiao turned around and climbed up to the bell tower!
Seeing this, Lin Tai sneered: "Fangzheng, you are a broken mountain, do you really think that someone will donate a priceless object to you? Not to mention priceless, if the value of this bell tower can exceed 10 million, I, Lin Tai, will Go down the mountain!"
Li He followed: "Mr. Lin, if this bell tower is really valuable, I will climb it too!"
This was the time to show his loyalty. Cui Jiandong immediately said: "I will crawl too!"
Lin Xi and Liu Ying looked at each other and looked a little disappointed when they saw Fang Zheng. This monk was talking too much. If they were told how much the bell tower was worth, they would still believe it. After all, Fang Zheng had never lied before. But now, priceless? Is it possible? Do you really think this is the largest temple in the world? Even if it is, I probably won't get that kind of treatment.
While everyone was waiting to watch the show, they suddenly heard an exclamation from the bell tower: "How is this possible?!"
Then he saw Song Tianqiao walking down the bell tower with a look of disbelief.
"Brother Song, how are you?" Seeing Song Tianqiao's expression, Lin Tai had a bad feeling in his heart and asked quickly.
Fang Zheng looked at Song Tianqiao with a smile and said, "Donor, how much is the bell tower of Poor Monk worth?"
Song Tianqiao glanced at Lin Tai, then at Fang Zheng, and finally gave a wry smile, bowed and saluted: "I am blind, Master, this clock tower is priceless!"
"What?!" As soon as these words came out, Lin Tai and others were dumbfounded!
Liu Ying and Lin Xi's eyes widened with disbelief on their faces, especially Liu Ying who couldn't figure out how Fang Zheng, who was in poverty back then, turned around.
Lin Xi covered her mouth with a look of disbelief on her face. She suddenly realized that this monk was really a bit incredible... From the first time they met to now, he had given them more frights than surprises.
pS: I can’t even finish it, so I can only occasionally write two consecutive chapters of 3,000 words to repay everyone.
