VII. Special Guests (II)

Zhu Tong really didn't have time, he told Aunt Die that he had something important to do, so he left in a hurry.

When I came, Xie Jiahui sent a car, and I had to take a taxi when I went back.

Fortunately, although it is quiet in this neighborhood, there are many taxis waiting for life.

Sitting in the car, Zhu Tong looked at his watch, it was only half an hour away from nine o'clock; I can't help but urge the driver to drive faster.

Fortunately, this western metropolis doesn't have the extravagant nightlife of Shanghai, and there aren't many cars on the road. Rushed to the hotel lobby at just the right time.

Wan Jiasheng Buddha has always been punctual, and Wang Xiangjiao's assistant and the three officials were also waiting in the room one step ahead.

The most indispensable thing for such a meal is the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and the top famous wine; Some people enjoy it, such as the executive deputy director of the Department of Transportation, who looks like an official; I have a lot of research on food.

The word executive is emphasized by the office master he brought every time he is called, and the sub-word is omitted.

He also said that the executive director of Pakistan is in charge of the construction of the expressway, attaches great importance to the merchants introduced by the governor, and will unconditionally implement the governor's instructions, and can discuss no matter what the requirements are.

The executive director of Ba also seems to be very pragmatic, and what he is most concerned about is not how much money can be raised by the Ten Thousand Buddhas? Prepare to build that planned highway. The executive director of Pakistan is concerned about the connections of Wan Wansheng Buddha, and he said that the province is preparing to set up a highway company and strive to go public within two years.

This time, Zhu Tong can obviously feel that the Buddha of Wanjiasheng has spirit. Although Dagang Commerce and Trade also has two listed companies under its name, they are also the major shareholders of several listed companies, but they are not on the table. It's much better to be a junior investor in a government-sponsored company with huge resources than to finance a highway.

The first time we met, we just got acquainted with each other and exchanged general opinions. With the joint efforts of both sides, the atmosphere soon became harmonious.

Keba Chang talked and laughed with Wan Jiasheng Buddha, and I don't know when he found a mutual friend. Zhu Tong listened for a while and knew that their mutual friend was the deputy editor-in-chief of a certain media in Beijing, but no matter how he heard it, he felt that it was a pimp who served the people who wanted to be promoted to the official position in the first place.

After listening to it for a while, I understood: the big man behind the deputy editor-in-chief is the Buddha.

The Buddha will abdicate at most by the end of this year, and the deputy editor-in-chief will also have the intention of changing the court, and somehow he will move around and hook up with Fan Xilin.

Just last month, the deputy editor-in-chief brought a group of reporters to the local area to cover the news, nominally to publicize the large-scale development of the western region; In fact, I want to test Wang Xiangjiao's attitude, whether there is any possibility of taking refuge.

Listening to the meaning of Ba Changming, the deputy editor-in-chief began to be quite popular here, and he could be regarded as mingling with local officials and enjoying a VIP treatment.

Later, it seemed that because the deputy editor-in-chief drank too much and said something that should not be said, Wang Xiangjiao asked the secretary to talk to him, and the deputy editor-in-chief left the next day.

Executive Ba and Wan Jiasheng Buddha treated this topic as a joke on the wine table, and Zhu Tong obviously felt that Executive Director Ba had a plan against him.

Suo Ran didn't seem to be particularly enthusiastic, and after careful consideration of the words, he was very concerned about his reaction. After drinking too much, Ba Chang gradually let go; began to reminisce about the past, and introduced his political experience very clearly, how he grew from a sheep herding baby in a remote mountainous area to a qualified national cadre.

Wan Jiasheng Buddha was accustomed to seeing this kind of scene, and unconsciously began to beat the side drum to the executive director of Ba. It turned out that the executive director of Pakistan was also a well-educated doctor of economics.

Zhu Tong knew that these words were not for himself, but hoped to pass them on to Wang Xiangjiao through the mouth of him or the assistant who had always been very low-key and was introduced by Wang Xiangjiao. He looked less than fifty years old and had ambitions to rise. Deepen the impression of the leader, even if it is only a little bit, and you will be satisfied.

This is a bit strange, the Phoenix Fund of Flowers can be regarded as famous, don't these people know where the best channel is?

Except for Wang Xiangjiao and Fan Xilin, Zhu Tong did not have many opportunities to contact high-ranking officials. In his opinion, everyone who can achieve the department-level position is a human being, so his words are not much, but it is not difficult to deal with such a situation.

Ba Chang introduced the local customs and customs, and especially recommended the Tianlun Temple located on the edge of the Gobi. It is said that more than 1,000 years ago, there was a far-reaching battle in that place, there were more than 100,000 soldiers fighting there, and tens of thousands of people died on that land, and the flowing blood dyed the Gobi Desert red, and it was named Red Gobi.

For more than 1,000 years, neither the local indigenous people nor the nomadic people who migrated from afar rarely set foot in the Red Gobi. The most special thing is that the leaves of the poplar forests that grow in the Red Gobi give a red glow when the sun shines. Legend has it that it was the unyielding spirits of the warriors waving battle flags and summoning their allies for support.

All in all, Ba Chang said that legends and supernatural events about the Red Gobi are endless, and for a long time, it was a forbidden place, and even the most hard-working camels refused to easily step into it.

I don't know when two lamas from Tibet built a small temple on the highest hill in the Red Gobi, and lived there for a long time to spread Buddhism and devote themselves to practice. With the passage of time, the incense of Tianlun Temple gradually flourished. It is believed that the highly advanced lamas have dispelled the ghosts that roam the Red Gobi. Tianlun Temple has also been expanded and repaired again and again, and has become a famous temple covering an area of dozens of acres and a famous Gobi temple with a unique red stone base in the Red Gobi.

Last winter, Singh Nab, the living Buddha of Tianlun Temple, completed his practice and returned to the Western Elysium. After a gap of three months, the lamas of Tianlun Monastery invited a female living Buddha from Tibet, named Sangzhu Living Buddha.

Songman, the Grand Lama of Tianlun Temple, said that the Sangzhu Living Buddha is the 12th reincarnation of the Tianlun Temple, as the designated heir of the Living Buddha of Singh Nab.

Speaking of the female living Buddha, Ba Chang looked a little excited, he took out a small purple gold ** from the pocket of his suit, and said that this was the golden wheel of the Eight Treasures that he invited from Tianlun Temple.

Holding the purple gold **, Ba Chang was the same as the two of them a few minutes ago. It can't be said that the words of praise are only gorgeous and fluent, but they are far beyond the level he just obtained.

Listening to this, Zhu Tong suddenly felt that he should know this female living Buddha. He stared at Ba Chang's Zijin ** for a while, and asked, "Can I take a look?" ”

Ba Chang hesitated for a moment, then carefully uncovered the five-color ribbon tied in the inner pocket of the suit, and held the purple gold ** in both hands and handed it to Zhu Tong; He said uneasily: "Mr. Li, please see, the Sangzhu Living Buddha once instructed me that the Eight Treasures Talisman Golden Wheel subdues demons and exorcises evil spirits, blesses peace, and has the merit of everything being smooth." The living Buddha uses great magical powers to bless the five Bayeux Tantras in it, and it is necessary to make offerings with heart, and it is not allowed to show off and desecrate everywhere. ”

Zhu Tong nodded, and looked carefully at the Eight Treasures Talisman Golden Wheel, which was regarded as a treasure by Ba Chang.

The golden wheel is the size of a thumb, oval-shaped, not really a wheel, but in the shape of a flame. The lower part has a small handle-like object, and the wheel is divided into eight blocks by blue stripes, each of which is carved with an auspicious eight treasures of Tibetan Buddhism. Different from other Tibetan Buddhist ritual instruments, the center of Zijin ** is a white jade texture of winged eagle, under the eagle is a blooming lotus flower, with a six-character proverb to worship the eagle.

Qusang Zhuomu, Eagle Buddha. Zhu Tong had a plan in his heart.

The white eagle represents the Eagle Buddha of Butian Temple, and the lotus flower represents Qusang Zhuomu. Zhu Tong didn't know what the five Bayeux Sutras were, presumably a gimmick arranged for the purpose of collecting money. But in the turquoise of the lotus center, there is indeed a trace of Qusang Zhuomu's message.

It's a kind of mystical feeling, just like a painter who appreciates the work of a friend or a master can feel a special message.

Ba Chang must have spent a lot of money to get this Eight Treasures Talisman Golden Wheel!

Feeling the heavy weight of Zijin **, Zhu Tong made another discovery.

"This is wood?"

"Red gold roots." Ba Chang praised Zhu Tong's vision.

"Can you elaborate on that?"

Ba Chang said seriously: "All the buildings of Tianlun Temple do not use wood on the earth, only poplar golden roots that grow underground. The roots of the thousand-year-old blood poplar are dense and strong, and the gold is healed, and the reddish ones like this are very rare, and the price is more than gold. The golden body of the Jizo King Bodhisattva enshrined in the main hall of Tianlun Temple is carved from the golden root of poplar, which is an incomparably precious purple gold root. I forgot to mention that not all blood poplars have golden roots, and golden roots are also divided into three grades. The worst is the golden root, the 500-year-old blood poplar root on the Red Gobi, and one in ten is likely to produce a golden root. The second class is the red gold root, which is the kind that carves this talisman eight-treasure golden wheel. Only a thousand-year-old blood poplar has a 1 percent chance of giving birth to one or two segments of red gold root. The most noble is the purple gold root, you can also think of it without me saying that the golden body of the Jizo King Bodhisattva of Tianlun Temple is carved with a piece of purple gold root. It is impossible for ordinary people to find the purple gold root, and if they are lucky enough to dig up a section, they will not have to do it in this life.

"The first living Buddha of Tianlun Temple, it took ten years to walk through the Red Gobi to find, and after finding it, it took ten years to dig out a ten-meter-long and three-meter-thick purple gold root from 100 meters underground. After obtaining the purple gold root, the first living Buddha went to Lhasa, invited a very meritorious craftsman from Tibet, and it took ten years to carve the purple gold root into the golden body of the Bodhisattva. It is said that the purple gold root is the soul residence of a king, the eight generals, and the strongest man slashes with all his strength with the sharpest and hardest axe, leaving only a shallow trace on that section of the purple gold root. And after a night, the traces will disappear on their own. Only a living Buddha with supreme supernatural powers can subdue those ghosts, and only the most devout lamas can cut through the red gold root with a knife and axe. On the day when the statue of King Jizo Bodhisattva was completed, auspicious clouds fell from the sky, and flowers bloomed on the Red Gobi. On that same day, the two living Buddhas exhausted their mental strength and both returned to the Western Elysium. ”

"It's amazing." After listening to Ba Chang's narration, everyone was amazed.

Wan Jiahai had the heart to take Chijin Root in his hand and feel it, but because of Ba Chang's performance just now, he knew that compared with Zhu Tong, he didn't seem to have that qualification.

Sheng Fu touched his chin, his bright eyes stared at the red gold ** in Zhu Tong's hand, and couldn't help asking: "Executive Director Ba, how much money did you offer to Tianlun Temple for this talisman Eight Treasure Golden Wheel?" ”

"How can such a precious magic weapon be calculated with money!" Ba Chang said unhappily, and reached out to take the red gold **.

Zhu Tong didn't cooperate with his actions, but said with a smile: "I also want to know." ”

"Don't get me wrong." Zhu Tong looked at Ba Chang's face embarrassed, and said; "Listening to your introduction, we all want to go to Tianlun Temple to ask for such a magic weapon to protect ourselves. As you know, we came from afar without the rules and without a way. You should understand, right? After speaking, he handed back the red gold **.

"Yes, of course I do." Ba Chang took back the red gold **, put it back in the inner pocket of the suit very carefully, and said; "The talisman of Tianlun Temple has always been very famous, not only you, but many people with status have made a special trip from Beijing and Shanghai to come, just hoping to invite a talisman of Tianlun Temple. I ...... this piece" Ba Chang pondered for a moment, tilted his head to Zhu Tong, and whispered: "You know, I am a government official. ”

At this, Ba Chang paused.

Zhu Tong also turned his head sideways and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I understand you very well, Director Ba. But this kind of thing...... You have to make it clear; It's nothing if no one says anything, if anyone has an opinion about you...... Hey! You should understand that since you can sit in your current position, you must be a party member, right? To paraphrase a formatted phrase, your achievements, in addition to your own efforts, are more the result of years of cultivation by the party. ”

Ba Chang's face changed, and then he asked, "Are you ......?"

"I'm just a Chinese medicine practitioner and I don't have a big opinion about your religion. It's just that I'm a little curious about Tianlun Temple. "Zhu Tong sat up straight and smiled;" Mr. Sheng just asked you a question, and you haven't answered it yet. ”

Sheng Fu smiled awkwardly, knowing that he had asked a very inappropriate question and was being taken advantage of by Zhu Tong.
