Located in the heart of Ningdong City, the Mid-levels Hotel covers an area of more than one square kilometer and was built long before the city's economy began to take off, making it the first five-star hotel.

Over the years, the economy of Ningdong City has become more and more developed, and all kinds of star-rated hotels are naturally endless, but its status has not been shaken: important meetings at home and abroad, whether political or economic, as long as they are held in Ningdong City, more than 7 percent will choose to be in most of the Mid-Levels hotels.

As for others, such as those activities in the entertainment film and television industry, not to mention.

The fact that the hotel occupies such an important position is not only related to its background - shareholders, but also related to its hardware environment and software services, so to speak, it can be said that every place it has achieved perfection, or it is absolutely possible to survive so well in the highly competitive hotel service industry.

When Fang Ming and the others arrived, there was already a young man waiting at the gate of the Mid-Levels Hotel, and as soon as he saw Qian Fang, he immediately walked over and said, "Old Qian, Old Song asked me to come down and pick you up." ”

"Xiao Li, I'm sorry for you, let's go in, these are my friends."

Li Guo glanced at Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang, and was secretly surprised in his heart, he was Song Shan's secretary, and naturally recognized Qian Fang as a friend of his "boss", a master figure in the collection world, as far as he knew, there were not many people who could be called friends by Qian Fang, not to mention that Zhou Yafang, especially Fang Ming, was so young.

Although he was very surprised, Li Guo didn't have any strange look on his face, but turned around and walked in with Qian Fang and the others.

Fang Ming was the first time to come to the Mid-Levels Hotel, and when he walked in, he finally found out why this place was called the Mid-Levels Hotel, because after entering, he soon found that the terrain was getting higher and higher - when he arrived at the entrance of the hotel's lobby, he found that there was a height difference of nearly 20 meters from the door he had entered before.

"Heh, Fang Ming, it's your first time here, right? The hotel got its name because it feels like you're halfway up the mountain when you look at the gate again. ”

Qian Fang's words made Li Guo secretly taken aback in his heart - Qian Fang took the initiative to explain this matter to Fang Ming, which only proved that he attached great importance to the other party.

"What is the origin of this young man named Fang Ming? He was carrying the bag...... It's pretty ordinary, nothing special. ”

Li Guo glanced at Fang Ming and found that not only was the bag he was carrying nothing special, but the clothes on his body were also very ordinary road goods, if he had to say anything special, it was that this young man named Fang Ming seemed to have an indescribable temperament on his body, so although his appearance was not particularly outstanding, it was impossible to forget it at first glance.

Li Guo was able to become Song Shan's secretary, and naturally he was not an ordinary person, although he couldn't figure out what Fang Ming's origin was for the time being, but he had already made up his mind that he would definitely make friends with Fang Ming if he had the opportunity.

Pavilions and pavilions, most of the Mid-levels hotels are naturally not lacking, following Li Guo slowly walked forward, through one large and small garden after another, and finally stopped in front of a single villa.

Li Guo turned around and said to Qian Fang and the others: "Old Qian, Old Song is inside, he said that you will go in directly when you arrive." ”

"Okay, Xiao Li, do you have something to be busy with, then you go and get busy first, let's just go in."

Qian Fang knew that Li Guo was Song Shan's personal secretary, and if it wasn't for something, he would definitely take himself in.

"Qian Lao, I'm really sorry, the meeting is going to be held tomorrow, there are more things and the time is tight, there is really no way to say hello."

"Come on, you can get busy first."

After waving his hand to drive Li Guo away, Qian Fang took Fang Ming and Zhou Yafang to walk inside, as soon as he entered the hall of the villa, he immediately saw two people sitting on the sofa chatting, one of them was a white-haired old man, wearing a Mao suit, looking quite energetic, as for the other is a monk wearing a red monk's robe, with a smile on his fat face forever, as if he was Maitreya Buddha, which made people impressed at first sight, and even gave birth to a sense of tranquility, which shows that the cultivation of Buddhism should be extremely profound.

"Huh? Yitong monk, why are you here? ”

Seeing the monk, Qian Fang was suddenly surprised, the sitting monk was called Yitong, who was the presiding abbot of Tonghua Temple in Zishishan in Ningdong City, and was a monk who had attained the Tao, and was also a well-known figure in the Buddhist world.

"Amitabha, Lord Qian, this time it's a national religious conference, isn't it normal for me to be here? But you, why did you come here? Are you also a monk? ”

Fang Ming couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, thinking that this Yitong monk should be a very "cheerful" person, and he didn't have the serious appearance of a high-ranking monk.

"Heh, old money, introduce new friends."

As soon as Zhou Yafang heard this, he immediately took a step forward and said, "Old Song, Master Yitong, hello, I am Zhou Yafang, this is Fang Ming, and we are collecting." ”

"Oh, I'm walking with Lao Qian, sit down, I don't know what's going on?"

He and Qian Fang have been friends for many years, and Song Shan naturally understands that if there is nothing special, he will definitely not bring two people he didn't know before to visit him at this time.

As soon as Qian Fang sat down, he couldn't wait to say: "Old Song, there is also a master Yitong, you are really good here, and there is just one thing to trouble you." ”

"Oh?"

Hearing Qian Fang say this, Song Shan and Yitong's curiosity was also hooked, and they all looked at it together.

Fang Ming put the bag on the ground, opened it, and carefully took out the golden Buddha statue inside and put it on the table.

"Old Song, Master Yitong, take a look at this Buddha statue."

"Huh?!"

As soon as the Buddha statue of Fang Ming was taken out, Song Shan was originally sitting on the sofa casually, but at this time, he sat up straight, and his right hand grabbed the Buddha statue at a completely different speed than ordinary people.

"This Song Shan has kung fu in his body."

Speaking of appraisal, Fang Ming is of course a novice now, but when it comes to fighting, he is no worse than others at all, as the so-called connoisseur knows if there is one as soon as he stretches out his hand, Song Shan's movement of reaching out to hold the Buddha statue is very agile, and it is very stretched, this is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, it is definitely after years of hard cultivation of some kind of kung fu.

"The Buddha statue in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a good thing from the court, old money, where did this thing come from, it is difficult to see such a thing now."

Song Shan was born in Buddhism, and now he is also engaged in this kind of work, his vision is naturally extremely vicious, and he can see at a glance which period and where the Buddha statue comes from.

The Buddha statue in front of you is beautiful and is a rare boutique.

"Amitabha, I don't know which donor this Buddha statue belongs to? I don't know if I can cut love? ”

His eyes swept over Qian Fang, Fang Ming, and Zhou Yafang one by one, with an eager look on his face, obviously wanting to get this Buddha statue.

Actually, it's not surprising at all, Buddha statues are usually just collector's items, but for monks like him, it is not just that. Let's not talk about the material of this Buddha statue in front of me, the key is that the aura condensed on it is extremely powerful.

The aura is an important criterion for measuring the value of the Dharma instrument that will be used in Buddhism and other religions, the so-called aura is a kind of "ethereal" thing, similar to spiritual power, the Dharma weapon in Buddhism is often a thing carried by a monk who has attained the Tao, and it will be condensed into a huge aura after many years of continuous blessing on the road of use.

Ordinary people feel that the Buddha statue or other magic weapon is bright and bright, and it seems that there is a special power that can make people calm down suddenly, which is actually the aura at work - the more powerful the magic weapon, the more it can give people this feeling.

Although the Buddha statue in front of him is small, the aura exuded when it is placed on the table is so powerful, although Yitong has seen a lot, but he has never encountered it.

The only doubt is that this Buddha statue cannot have such a powerful aura in theory, but this is not important at the moment, Yitong believes that his feelings will never go wrong, buy this Buddha statue first and then study it slowly.

In fact, there is another important reason why Yitong wants to buy this Buddha statue, that is, next month is the 600th anniversary of the birth of Master Mingjian, the abbot of the Buddhist Temple, Tonghua Temple will have a large-scale Buddha's birthday celebration, and the golden Buddha aura in front of him is so powerful, if it can appear at the celebration, it is definitely a good story.

That's why Yitong is so anxious.

"Hah! Master Yitong, I've known you for many years, and I've never seen you so calm! What about your Dharma practice? ”

Qian laughed loudly, but he was also secretly surprised in his heart, the Buddha statue that can make a person like Yitong so "shocked" is definitely not an ordinary Buddha statue - it is obvious that a Buddha statue from the court in the Yongle period cannot make the other party so moved, so what is the reason?

It's just that for a while, I can't figure out why.

glared at Qian and said, "Amitabha, just laugh." ”

"Okay, okay if I don't laugh?"

Qian Fang pointed to the Buddha statue and said, "But you don't have to be busy making offers, this Buddha statue has other things, and this is the main purpose of my coming here today." ”

"Oh?"

Song Shan was stunned for a moment, glanced at the Buddha statue in his hand, and said, "What else is there?" ”

Qian Fang nodded heavily and said, "Old Song, you turn over the Buddha statue and take a look, there may be a hidden grid at the base, we can't be sure, and even if there is a dark grid, we can't open it, so we came to you." ”

Song Shan is a master of Buddhism, if this Buddha statue has a dark grid, the way to open it is likely to be related to Buddhism, so it is the most correct choice to find him.

When Song Shan heard Qian Fang say this, he immediately turned over the Buddha statue.
