Chapter 686: A Big Project That Died Abruptly
PS: Today's second update, ask for monthly pass support.
"Banshan Temple?"
Wang glanced at it, and while he was surprised, he also turned around and quipped: "Master Banshan, when did you quietly open a mountain and establish a temple here?" Why didn't you say hello before, so that we could come and visit. ”
"Amitabha, Lord Wang said with a smile."
The expression of the monk in the middle of the mountain is also quite strange, and some of them are also surprised and happy. Perhaps for a person like him who pays more attention to fate, when he sees a temple with the same name as himself at first glance, he will definitely have to pay homage to it later.
"The name Banshan Temple, although it is a bit unusual, is not nothing."
At the same time, perennial travel from south to north, the well-informed Pi Qiushi said with a smile: "At the foot of Longpanpo in Huangshan Mountain, Anhui Province, there is a Banshan Temple. In addition, there are Nanjing Banshan Temple and Yangcheng Banshan Temple, but I don't know that there is also a Banshan Temple in the far suburbs of the capital. It's a pity that the environment here is very good, but it is not famous......"
While talking, Wang Guan also drove over, and before he could drive down, Li Fan ran over.
"Wang Shao, this is it, what do you think?" Li Fan smiled and said, as a corner of fiber pulling, whether Wang Guan buys these things or not, or how many things he buys, is closely related to his interests, and he naturally has to sell hard.
"Here?"
In an instant, Wang Guan got out of the car, and when he heard this, he was dumbfounded, and pointed to the temple that seemed to be simple and unpretentious, but it was full of classical atmosphere and confirmed: "This temple is the ancient building you said?" ”
"That's right." Li Fan nodded hurriedly, and also understood Wang Guan's surprise, you must know that he was also stunned for a long time before he understood what was going on under the explanation of the person concerned, and then agreed to take over the job.
Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to provoke the monk casually when he was full. Forget about the gray objects, if it causes religious disputes or something, it is estimated that it will be directly sentenced to life. Then you want to cry without tears.
"Don't worry, Wang Shao, this is an empty temple."
Afraid that Wang Guan would turn around and leave, Li Fan hurriedly trotted over, and then pushed with both hands, and the gate of the temple opened, and it was really empty inside, not only there were no pilgrims and tourists, but also no monks.
"The Empty Temple?" Everyone was stunned, and some didn't know the situation.
"It's not just an empty temple, it's a fake temple without a 'license'." Li Fan smiled again: "There is no information file of the temple on the Religious Affairs Bureau. It belongs to the category of abandoned temples, and no one will pay attention to it even if it is demolished. ”
"Why?" Wang Guan and the others were very surprised, feeling confused and completely confused.
Speaking from the heart, the environment on the mountain is very quiet, and the temple architecture is not bad, and the undulating buildings on one side are not tofu scum projects, right? Especially the strong sense of substance of the building, it is even more unlikely that it is a prop studio built by film and television dramas, right?
Come to think of it. Wang Guan was the first to walk into the temple, patting east and west, and it was certain that this was a real building, so he felt very confused. A good temple. Why should it be scrapped?
"That is, it is understandable that the unfinished building was abandoned, but why don't the temple want it?" Pi Qiu is very strange. After all, he has traveled north and south for many years, and he has never seen the government and wealthy people fund the construction of temples, and he has never seen the abandonment of temples.
"Mr. Pi. You don't know, in fact, this temple is an unfinished building. Li Fan said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Everyone was stunned again, and they felt even more inexplicable, the temple also has an unfinished building, which is really smelly. Could it be that they are outdated and unable to keep up with the pace of change of the times?
"When you went up the mountain just now, you should have seen the buildings next to the village that were about to be built, right?" Li Fan didn't sell it, and slowly explained: "Actually, it is a leisure and vacation center, and this temple is actually a supporting project of the resort center......"
Some people may not understand why the resort center should build a temple as a supporting project, but Wang Guan and they are very understanding and admire the person who proposed this plan.
You must know that this is not a famous mountain scenery, and if you want to attract more people to the resort center, you must create something special. The so-called mountain is not high, there is a fairy is famous, the water is not deep, and there is a dragon is spiritual. As early as more than 1,000 years ago, the Tang Dynasty poet Liu Yuxi had already told everyone what the highest level of advertising and marketing was.
Future generations don't have to bother, just plan according to this guideline. It doesn't matter if there is no famous mountain, just build a famous temple, anyway, there are a lot of pilgrims in this year, whether they are sincere believers or not, as long as they come to burn incense, and then go to the leisure center under the mountain to consume......
"I've heard people say that when the leisure center is completed, the big boss who built the leisure center plans to spend three or five billion yuan, hire a senior monk as the host of the temple, and then invite the abbots of the major monasteries in the capital to come over and hold a grand festival, which will definitely cause a sensation and achieve the purpose of publicity."
While speaking, Li Fan shook his head and said: "But it's a pity, seeing that in another year and a half, the project can be completed, but the big boss's capital chain is broken, and the plan naturally cannot be implemented." ”
"There are a lot of icing on the cake in this year, there are very few people who send charcoal in the snow, and there are also some people who fall into the ground, so now the big boss is in a hurry, and this place has naturally become an unfinished building."
Li Fan shrugged his shoulders, and then said with a smile: "But the temple has been built a long time ago, and the wood carvings of the Buddha statues inside are all made of the best wood, and they are carved by the most powerful masters, and they are also worth a lot of money." If Wang Shao thinks it's good, he can move all the things, and the price is even more negotiable......"
"Amitabha!"
Hearing this, the monk in the middle of the mountain recited a Buddha name, and his brows were furrowed into Sichuan characters.
Obviously, for a true Buddhist disciple, even if he knew that the temple was just the masterpiece of a certain businessman, he would definitely not be happy when he heard that Li Fan was going to buy and sell Buddha statues.
Wang observed it, and waved directly at Li Fan: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, go in and have a look." ”
"Okay."
Li Fan was also clever and hurriedly led the way in front.
Although it is located in the middle of the mountainside, it cleverly uses the topography here, so that the temple architecture blends with the mountain, and it looks very simple and natural. Walking in the silence of the temple gives people an ethereal and timeless feeling.
At the same time, it can be seen that the big boss who built this project pays great attention to quality, and the temple architecture is perfect, such as the mountain gate, the bell and drum tower, the Tianwang Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Dharma Hall, the Tibetan Scripture Building, the abbot's room, including the meditation room of the monks, etc., as long as the large temple should have the building, this temple is also very complete.
What surprised Wang Guan the most was that although the temple was newly built, the buildings were really ancient bricks.
"That's normal, too."
Pi Qiushi knew more about the situation in this regard, and after hearing Wang Guan's question, he suddenly smiled: "There are many old buildings in the country, and when they are renovated, they are not repaired with the old, but directly bulldozed and rebuilt. Then buy these ancient bricks at a high price to merchants who specialize in this business, as long as you can afford the money, they can send you ancient bricks that can build a city. ”
Pi Qiushi smiled and said: "The gate of Qian Lao's mansion is estimated to have been built in this way, and this temple is no exception. ”
"I see." Wang Guan suddenly realized, but also couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "No wonder in recent years, ancient buildings across the country have been demolished and demolished. ”
"It's good to know, don't be too emotional, let's take a look at these Arhat statues." At this time, Pi Qiushi sighed: "Good guy, it's all carved from nanmu." And it's not Shuinan, it's Xiangnan. ”
Wang Guan approached and looked at it, and then said with a smile: "I thought it was Jin Sinan." ”
"Dream on you." Pi Qiushi scolded with a smile: "There are so many Jin Sinan, enough to support the big boss to complete the project, and there will be no trip we have today." ”
Talking and laughing, Wang Guan did not rush to collect things, but to visit and play, along the temple building walked around, the more you look, the more you feel that the temple environment is beautiful, and the old Qian Mansion Gate is the same, belongs to the world, a good place for leisure and summer vacation.
"The total cost of this temple must be far more than 50 million, close to 60 million."
At the same time, Li Fan gushed out: "But now the big boss is in urgent need of money, and he is willing to sell it for 40 million." Of course, if you grind it, you should be able to take down more than 30 million......"
"It's a pity that it's a little far, otherwise it would be a summer resort if you buy it and renovate it."
Suddenly, Wang Guan had this idea, but he vetoed it in an instant. After all, he is now a poor bastard, and how can he afford to buy this temple.
In the midst of Li Fan's introduction, everyone unconsciously left the temple and came to the back mountain of the temple. However, there are also several pavilions and other buildings on the top of the back mountain, especially on the top of the mountain, there seems to be a chain suspension bridge connecting the two peaks.
"What's on the other side of the mountain?" Wang Guan was very curious.
"It's an ancient temple."
Li Fan took a look at it, and then said with a smile: "A very dilapidated ancient temple, it is said that the big boss only came up with the idea of building a temple after seeing the ruined ancient temple on the mountain." Otherwise, according to the original plan, it should be a summer resort. ”
"Actually, the summer resort is better......" Wang Guan muttered, also with a little curiosity, beckoned everyone to go up the mountain, and then came to the opposite peak through the towering and trembling iron suspension bridge.
The opposite peak is very steep, and it is difficult to climb up and down, so it is no wonder that it is specially connected to the ropeway. However, this peak is also taller and has a wider view. When you look down on the surroundings, you can see the heroic spirit of the mountains. If the project is successful, it will definitely be a must-visit place for tourists and pilgrims.
It's a pity that the reality is very cruel, and there are no ifs.
Wang Guan shook his head slightly, and after walking for a while, he saw the ancient temple that Li Fan said on the mountain peak. However, at this moment, the monk in the middle of the mountain knelt down, looked very excited, and bowed respectfully...... (To be continued.) )
