Chapter 246: Buddha Nature

Behind the atrium is Ma Xiangheng's private collection, which has an area of about 400 square meters, which is very wide, with rows of wooden shelves neatly placed, and many porcelain, jade and various wood products on it, but for Lu Yunfan, it is tantamount to looking at the flowers, none of which he can understand.

Of course, he didn't want to know these things at the moment, his attainments were not enough, and he didn't want to enter this industry as a begging for food.

After walking more than ten meters, I stopped in front of a quaint small cabinet.

Ma Xiangheng took off a bunch of keys from his pants, put on a pair of pure white silk gloves, and then carefully opened the small bronze lock on the cabinet, and the cabinet door opened, listing dozens of wooden boards of different styles and colors.

After flipping through it for a long time, Ma Xiangheng took out a small piece of it, on which hung a thin piece of cardboard with the four boys in italics, "Nagarjuna Stem and Tree".

After closing the cabinet door, Ma Xiangheng locked the small lock back and took Lu Yunfan to a small counter on the side.

This small counter seems to be specially designed to view these gadgets, with the ground lights overhead, standing in the direction of the counter, and even the shadow of the object in the hand disappears.

Ma Xiangheng handed Lu Yunfan a pair of gloves, Lu Yunfan knew that this was the rule of their industry, so he also put it on and took the wooden board that Ma Xiangheng handed him.

The wooden planks were slightly heavy in his hand, and the texture of them was indeed very similar to the woodwork he had seen in the cave, and of course, the wood of the Great Buddha statue was also very similar, but the wood used by the Great Buddha was too large, and they had only seen a dead dragon tree in the dry riverbed, but not elsewhere.

But more than 2,500 years have passed since Shakyamuni, and even every time Nagarjuna's disciples die, they will cut down all the trees they planted, and there will always be a lot of such wood products left as burials. ”

Lu Yunfan muttered in a low voice, and Ma Xiangheng asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Well, it's nothing, Mr. Ma, I want to ask, is this wood very valuable?"

"The wood of Nagarjuna is hard to find, even if you are destined to meet it, it is basically impossible to get it, and the value is very high!"

"Oh, why is that?" Lu Yunfan continued.

"Nagarjuna's wood is rare, but it is not invisible, and it can be found occasionally in some temples in India and Nepal, but it is generally used for only two purposes. ”

"Which two?"

"One is to build a dharma body, that is, a wooden statue for Nagarjuna's disciples, which is mostly stored in some ancient temples, and it is difficult to even get close, so it is difficult to distinguish which one is made of Nagarjuna's wood; ”

"I see!" Lu Yunfan had completely understood at this moment that not all of these woods had disappeared, but for people of religious beliefs, these were all treasures, and even if they were recorded, it was likely to be mistaken for the Nagarjuna mentioned in the scriptures not a plant, but the Nagarjuna Bodhisattva himself.

"What did you think of?" Ma Xiangheng asked expectantly when he saw that he seemed to have figured out some key node.

"Oh, Mr. Ma, I just thought that maybe all the later generations mistakenly thought that Nagarjuna in the record was Nagarjuna Bodhisattva, so they confused all the concepts in the record of Nagarjuna. ”

"Well, I think so too, do you know what the words on this board mean?"

Lu Yunfan smiled bitterly: "Mr. Ma, don't be embarrassed for me, I don't even understand what the text is, how do you know what it means, have you already translated it?"

Ma Xiangheng nodded, took the wooden card and stroked the handwriting on it and said: "These are Sanskrit, there is only one sentence, everything is empty, and the Buddha is also empty!"

"What do you mean?"

Ma Xiangheng walked back to the small cabinet with the wooden card, put the wooden card back into it, then took off his gloves, put his hand on Lu Yunfan's shoulder and said: "In fact, most tomb robbers don't steal the things in the Buddha's tomb, as for why, I guess I don't say that you know it." ”

"First, there is nothing for the monks, and there will be no funeral goods after death, and most of them will be buried directly in the temple after sitting or cremation, even if they leave relics, they will be regarded as treasures by the temple; ”

"Huh?"

Hearing his analysis, Lu Yunfan was shocked.

"If you say so, then I haven't committed a great sin? Not only did we trespass into the Buddha's tomb without permission, but we also almost destroyed the Buddha's tomb, so aren't we going to suffer great retribution?"

"Hahaha......"

Ma Xiang patted Lu Yunfan on the shoulder and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Do you know what a Buddha is?"

Lu Yunfan shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, where did he know what a Buddha was, he only knew that he was a monk before becoming a Buddha, how these monks became Buddhas, and what he had an epiphany to become a Buddha, but he didn't understand anything.

"Buddha nature, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the most benevolent and benevolent, of course, although I am not young, but I still do not understand the Dharma so thoroughly. But one thing is certain, the Buddha will only cross people, not harm people. Don't say that you just fell into the Buddha's tomb, even if you killed the biological parents of the Supreme Buddha, the Buddha will not blame you, even if you slaughter thousands of living beings, the Buddha's exhortation to you is just to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha, do you understand?"

"Hehe, doesn't that mean that even if I sell all these relics for money, the Buddha won't be the slightest bit embarrassed for me?"

Ma Xiang squeezed his lips and slapped him on the shoulder twice, "It's still the same sentence, Buddha only crosses people and doesn't hurt people." However, where does a person's evil come from, I hope you can know that a thousand miles of embankments are destroyed in an anthill, and once a person has evil thoughts, they will soon be corroded. ”

Lu Yunfan smiled, and the contact with Ma Xiangheng made him feel that this person was not a bad person, and all his worries before had disappeared after this conversation.

Dealing with him, even more than dealing with Professor Wang, made him feel a lot more at ease. At the very least, even if a person who knows something about Buddhism has some evil thoughts, how bad can that person be?

is also because Lu Yunfan gradually opened his heart and let down his guard.

"Mr. Ma, in fact, when I came here today, I was still a little wary of you, but now, I don't feel this way at all. ”

"Oh, hehe, it's amazing that my old horse can make people defensive at first sight, but tell me why?"

The two returned to the middle hall and sat down again, Lu Yunfan asked: "Mr. Ma, when I came in the morning, I saw that you were receiving Hu Jinrong, don't you know, this guy almost killed me several times, you contact him, can I not be careful?"

"Hehe, you kid want to trick me, I advise you to die of this heart, I don't care if you have any grievances, you will be my guest when you enter my door, I can't be more partial to anyone. ”

Ma Xiangheng took a sip of tea, waved his hand at the door, and the security guard outside the door seemed to have a pair of see-through eyes, pushed the door and walked in, walked up to him, and bent down to call the boss.

Ma Xiangheng said, "Go and bring the things." ”

"Yes", the security guard turned and left.

Lu Yunfan was still thinking about what he was talking about, and Ma Xiangheng spoke again.

"Xiao Lu, the price of 700,000 yuan, if you can accept it, I can accept all the relics in your hand, and I can also guarantee you that no one will pay a higher price than me. ”

Lu Yunfan was taken aback, he was still thinking about why he said that he was looking for someone to invite relics, but he hadn't seen that person show up for so long, and the person who didn't want to buy these relics turned out to be Ma Xiangheng.

"Ma, Mr. Ma, you said you want to buy all my relics? didn't you say that you found someone else...... Oh, I see, you actually wanted to buy it all for yourself in the first place, but you didn't want Professor Wang to know about it, right?"

Ma Xiangheng smiled and nodded, not objecting to this speculation.

"Then what do you want so much for?" Lu Yunfan continued to ask.

"Alas, this is also the rule of the trade, I pay you to ship, this is a fair deal, as for where the goods end up, you shouldn't ask, I won't tell you, you just need to tell me now, do you do this deal?"

Lu Yunfan suddenly became entangled, this deal seemed to be a good deal for him, but in the morning he told Ma Xiangheng that he only had more than sixty grains in his hand, and if he sold them for four million according to Lao Ma's bid, but when he still had a hundred grains in his hand, he didn't know when he would meet the goods again.

But if he takes it all out, will this Ma Xiangheng think that he is an untrustworthy person? He still wants to have a good contact with this old guy in the future.

If all the 160 grains are sold, even if they are a little smaller and the fineness is a little worse, they can be sold for 500,000 yuan, and all of them will change hands for 100 million.

100 million, this is what he has never hoped for in his life, he won tens of millions before, he feels that he has no worries about food and clothing in this life, if this is 100 million, the money left to his grandson may be enough to lose.

And he can also generously put half of it into the company, do what he wants, and have a lot of cash to do whatever he wants, and all he has left in this life is enjoyment.

On the one hand, there is a huge turnover of 100 million, and on the other hand, there is the trust that may be lost, which makes him start to be embarrassed.

700,000 pills to buy all of his inventory, I am afraid that it is difficult for a second person to do such a big deal, but why is Ma Xiangheng willing to pay such a high price to buy all of them? This is also a question that he cannot figure out for a while.
