"Wait a minute, two donors."

While speaking, the monk stood up and walked out of the meditation room.

Seeing this, Wang Guan chuckled and said, "Congratulations to Brother Pi, I'm afraid I can get my wish." ”

"That's why I've always believed that sincerity is the way to go." Pi Qiushi said with a smile, although the Buddha's fate is just an excuse, but without his perseverance in the past three years, he can't impress the monk in the middle of the mountain.

In fact, Pi Qiushi also noticed that the attitude of the monk in the middle of the mountain was becoming more and more soft, and he knew that there was a lack of opportunity. Sure enough, seeing Master Hongyi's seal, the monk in the middle of the mountain immediately pushed the boat down the river to tell the whole story, and in order not to violate the precepts of Buddhism not to lie, he simply agreed to Pi Qiushi's request.

The reason for everything is the result of sincerity and perseverance. In this regard, Wang Guan was convinced. Empathy, he doesn't have the patience to ask for it.

After a while, the monk came back, only to see that there was an extra scroll in his hand, which should be the thing that Pi Qiushi had been begging for three years.

"Speaking of which, this is fate."

The monk in the middle of the mountain was very straightforward, and directly handed the scroll to Pi Qiushi, and sighed with a smile: "Three years ago today, the donor came here and gave the Buddha a stick of incense, but he saw this painting. After that, three years later, the donor brought the seal of the master and the ancestor, fulfilling the Buddha's fate. Now that I have handed over the painting to you, I am sure that Master has a spirit in heaven and will not blame me......"

"Amitabha!"

Pi Qiushi recited a Buddha name and said sincerely: "Thank you, Master." "Between words. Pi Qiushi took out the check and was about to fill in a number, but the monk stopped him.

"Lord Pytheon." The monk shook his head and said: "The poor monk entrusted the painting to you, just for the sake of the Buddha. If you measure it by money, then it becomes vulgar. Besides, I accepted the donor's Buddha relationship and gave the donor a gift in return. It's a fair and reasonable move. ”

"But this price difference ......" Pi Qiushi was about to explain, but the monk in the middle of the mountain didn't listen, picked up the wooden fish and beat it. See this. Pi Qiu smiled helplessly, so he had to take the check back.

Seeing this, the monk in the middle of the mountain smiled again. Pour tea and serve to guests.

At this time, Wang Guan took the opportunity to ask: "Master Banshan, I don't know if you have studied the carving of amber?" ”

"Amber?" The monk was slightly stunned.

"That's right." Wang nodded and said, "I got a piece of beeswax and want to make a few pieces of Buddha and Guanyin ornaments." I know that the master is highly skilled in carving, so I take the liberty of asking. ”

"I don't dare to be a skilled person, but I just have some experience." The monk waved his hand and said with a modest smile: "As for the amber carving, I have also carved a few strings of Buddhist beads......

"The master is humble."

Pi Qiu said with a smile on the side: "I have seen the string of wooden Buddha beads carved by the master, and the shape of the Buddha on each bead is different and lifelike. Extremely charming. Presumably, the beads made of amber are even more extraordinary. ”

Hearing this, Wang Guan immediately understood, and hurriedly pleaded: "Master Fulao helps." ”

While speaking, Wang Guan opened the hanging bag and took out the beeswax.

"Such a big chunk!"

At first glance. Pi Qiushi was taken aback. He thought it was just an inch or two in size, but he didn't expect the whole beeswax to be bigger than he imagined. Even if you hold it with two hands, you may not be able to enclose it.

"Brother, let me appreciate it."

So, after looking at it twice, Pi Qiu was a little skeptical about the authenticity of things. He simply reached out and took it over to take a closer look.

"How?"

After a while, Wang Guan smiled and said, "It's not fake." ”

"Of course not."

Pi Qiushi patted his round belly and smiled: "Brother, what you have on hand, how can it be fake." I'm just trying to take the opportunity to appreciate it. This beeswax is definitely the real thing, and such a large piece is very rare and extremely rare. ”

"Master, take a look too."

At this time, Pi Qiushi handed over the beeswax. The monk in the middle of the mountain watched for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "The color is like honey, the light is like wax, the quality is outstanding, and it belongs to the top grade beeswax." ”

"Then please leave it to the master."

Wang Guan asked: "I don't know how long it will take to carve a few hanging ornaments and one or two strings of Buddhist beads?" ”

"Amber is soft and easy to cut, but it is easy to crack and brittle, so you have to be careful about it." Banshan groaned and hesitated: "If it's just a simple string of beads, it can be polished in a day or two." However, now it's a pendant and a string of beads, so it's going to take a little longer. ”

"It doesn't matter, when will the master do it, notify me to come and get it." Wang Guan smiled and left his contact information. Anyway, he estimated that this journey was unlikely to end in a hurry. Even if you do a good job, with Yu Feibai's character, you have to take the opportunity to play for ten days and half a month before you are willing to go back.

For such a long time, it should be enough for the monk in the middle of the mountain to make things well.

As the saying goes, good materials match good work, and good work seeks good materials. The monk in the middle of the mountain is no exception, if it is just ordinary material and he is not in the mood, he may directly refuse Wang Guan. But now, he didn't mean to refuse at all, but looked left and right at Amber, constantly weighing and visually, as if looking for a line to get off the knife.

That's why I said that monks are also human beings, and when they meet something they like, they will inevitably have some gaffes.

However, seeing such a situation, Wang Guan was very happy. The monk in the middle of the mountain is so focused, so he will definitely carve the ornaments and Buddhist beads with his heart, and he will benefit in the end.

At the same time, Pi Qiushi was also very knowledgeable, and under the pretext of not disturbing the monk Qingxiu in the middle of the mountain, he said goodbye to Wang Guan and left.

On the way, Pi Qiushi smiled bitterly: "Brother, do you know what mood I am in now?" ”

"Happy, happy?" Wang Guan said with a smile.

Pi Qiushi shook his head and sighed: "Wrong, it's a mixed blessing." ”

"Why do you say that?" Wang Guan is a little strange, it stands to reason that Pi Qiushi always gets his wish, he should be very happy, how can he be sad.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, brother."

Pi Qiushi sighed: "The reason why I persisted for three years and kept pestering Master Banshan was not simply for this painting, but because I guessed that he still had many good things in his hands. Now it seems that I was right. But after I got this painting, I'm afraid that other things will not be related to me. ”

"Huh?" Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, and then understood a little.

"If Master Banshan just received my check, then there are two of them, and I will always have a chance to ask for something else in the future." Pi Qiushi sighed and said, "However, Master Banshan obviously understands this truth and finds that the defense line has been broken. Not only did they block the door, but they even closed the windows, giving me no more chances. ”

"After all, although things are exchanged, I know very well that I am actually taking advantage of them. Master Banshan now let me go back, if I am not satisfied, it will be an inch, and I will be greedy. I'm sure that if I ask him for anything else someday, I guess the doors of the temple will no longer be open to me. ”

Pi Qiushi's expression was complicated, and he smiled bitterly: "A master is a master, everything is calculated properly, and there is no leakage." ”

"It's okay, the world is unsatisfactory in the world. You have said that you should be content, and it is good to get what you want. Wang Guan comforted: "Besides, things are always changing. Three years ago, Master Banshan resolutely refused to sell paintings to you, and now the paintings are not in your hands. Now that there is a precedent, it is better to wait another three years, and maybe there will be another turnaround......"

"Makes sense."

Pi Qiu thought it was true, he was originally a kind character, and it was just a momentary emotion just now. Now that I think about it, I'm smiling again.

"Jingle ......" At this moment, Pi Qiuye's mobile phone rang, and he picked it up and answered it. After chatting for a few words, he immediately turned around and smiled: "Brother, has your matter been settled?" ”

"Just a call from a Singaporean colleague?" Wang Guan hurriedly asked.

"That's right." Pi Qiushi said with a smile: "I originally planned to have a party in the evening, but now that someone is free, just invite me to have afternoon tea, and you can go with you." ”

Of course, Wang Guan would not object, and immediately stopped a car to go up.

After telling the driver the location, Pi Qiushi said in a low voice: "Brother, when you get to the place, remember not to mention Mr. Zhu Da's matter." Let's just say you've seen the enamel plate and are interested in its origins. ”

"Is that a reason okay?" Wang Guan was a little skeptical, after all, this was too unreasonable, and he knew it was an excuse when he heard it.

"It's taboo for you to inquire about the origin of something, and if you say that thing is a fake, I'm afraid that people will turn their faces on the spot, how can they ignore you." Pi Qiushi is experienced, and earnestly taught: "Anyway, you are just looking for an excuse, and you don't care if it is reasonable or not." If people are willing to tell you, they won't care what your excuse is. If people don't want to say it, no matter how good your reasons are, it's useless. ”

"Then listen to the eldest brother." Wang Guan nodded slightly.

Soon after, the taxi pulled up at a teahouse with a sophisticated retro décor. Wang Guan got out of the car, looked up, and found that the teahouse was very high, at least seven or eight floors, as if it was a round tower structure. However, it just looks retro, and the interior is still reinforced concrete, tiled and slate.

"Let's go." Pi Qiushi beckoned, and Wang Guan entered the elevator until they reached the top floor.

There are no windows around the top floor, so it looks empty and has a very wide view. This teahouse is the tallest building in the neighborhood, and looking around here gives you a panoramic view of the surrounding situation, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

"Brother Pi, this way!"

At the same time, near the fence, a greeting was heard. Wang Guan took the opportunity to look and saw that there were already two or three people waiting in the tea house.

"Brother Niu, Brother Ma, I've kept you waiting for a long time. It's been a long time, everyone's okay. Pi Qiushi walked over with a smile and shook hands with the two people, greeting them cordially and friendly. (To be continued.)
