Chapter 2 Good news

"Qingcheng, congratulations on your bid. Starting tomorrow, you will officially take office. Feed...... Qingcheng, are you listening on the phone? ”

Shen Qingcheng's hand holding the phone was soaked with sweat in his palms.

When he heard Bai Yu say that he had succeeded in his bidding, his mood was difficult to calm down for a long time!

A month ago, he participated in the competition examination for the chief expert of the United Nations World Heritage Center, but he did not expect that after the results came out, Shen Qingcheng actually topped the list with excellent results.

This achievement made Shen Qingcheng a little overjoyed.

Originally, he thought that it would be good for him to be in the top three, but he didn't expect God to favor him and let him stand out among the four thousand people.

He became the chief expert of the Chinese World Heritage Application Office, and was sent by China to connect with the United Nations World Heritage Center to assist in the application of China's World Heritage projects.

Bai Yu, who was on the phone, saw that Shen Qingcheng didn't make a sound, and shouted on the phone again. "Qingcheng, you're talking."

Shen Qingcheng's thoughts were withdrawn by Bai Yu, and he said to Bai Yu on the phone with some embarrassment.

"Yu, I'm sorry, I ...... just now I may be too happy, a little happy...... You see, I'm incoherent. ”

Bai Yu smiled on the phone, "You, it's still the same as before, you're too easy to be satisfied."

Professor Chen said, "You will start to get involved tomorrow.

Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, you and I, and Professor Chen, we will set off for Dunhuang together, and this time we need to stay in Dunhuang for a week.

Professor Chen said that because you are well versed in Buddhist carving, you will accompany the team of Stephen of the United Nations Heritage Centre on an inspection of the Longmen Grottoes as a World Heritage Site. ”

Shen Qingcheng never imagined that he, an unknown Buddhist carver, would one day become China's premier expert on the World Heritage List.

Shen Qingcheng looked at the time, there were still two hours before dark, and if he went to Dunhuang tomorrow, he still had to buy some equipment.

"Yu, I know, you send me the e-ticket in a while, I will go directly to the airport tomorrow morning, and you and Professor Chen will also go directly to the airport."

As soon as Bai Yu heard that Shen Qingcheng was going to the airport by himself, he was busy repeating Chen Yuliang's words on the phone.

"Qingcheng, the professor said that this mission requires everyone to walk together, so you stay at home early tomorrow morning, and we will leave for the airport together."

Shen Qingcheng saw that there was an arrangement, so he had to listen to Bai Yu. "Okay, I'll wait for you at home tomorrow morning."

After Bai Yu hung up the phone, Shen Qingcheng immediately returned to his room to sort out his luggage.

In fact, over the years, Shen Qingcheng has been wandering around, and the clothes in his wardrobe are always two colors, black and white. In addition to casual shoes, he also has hiking boots in his shoe cabinet.

When Shen Qingcheng first applied for the United Nations World Heritage Center World Heritage Nomination Expert, he mainly thought that the profession of Buddhist carver was becoming more and more unpopular, after all, the era of Daxing Buddhist Temple had passed.

And his Buddha carving skills were also passed down to him by his master since he was a child, and when his master passed away, he didn't know what his master's real name was.

When he was three years old, Shen Qingcheng's master adopted him back to a temple in Qingcheng Mountain.

Over the years, his master treated him as his own, provided him with schooling, and taught him carving techniques in his spare time.

Later, when he was admitted to university, in order to repay his master's nurturing kindness, Shen Qingcheng chose the sculpture art major of Beijing University when he applied for the examination, and studied for a master's degree and a doctorate in one go.

Shen Qingcheng, therefore, also became the youngest doctor of sculpture in Huaguo, he is especially good at Buddhist carving.

Shen Qingcheng's Buddhist carving works have won the Ingenuity Award, which is the highest award in the carving industry, for which he was awarded the title of Master of Buddhist Carving in China.

Shen Qingcheng's Buddha carving skills can be described as exquisite, he can carve almost visible materials on rice, stone, and wood, and the carved Buddha statues are lifelike.

Just as Shen Qingcheng was packing his luggage, there was an urgent knock at the door.

"Qingcheng, are you there? Oh no, something happened to Mrs. Wang's side. ”

The person who knocked on the door was Lei Zhe, who grew up with Shen Qingcheng, Lei Zhe and Shen Qingcheng were both orphans and were adopted by his master in Qingbo Temple.

As soon as Shen Qingcheng opened the door, Lei Zhe stepped forward and hugged Shen Qingcheng tightly. "Qingcheng, something is wrong, Mrs. Wang is missing."

Shen Qingcheng's deep eyes looked at Lei Zhe's eyes, and he pressed Lei Zhe's shoulder.

"Don't you be so surprised? Xu is a relative of Mrs. Wang's family?

Lei Zhe shook his head vigorously, "Qingcheng, I didn't lie to you, I searched everywhere, but I didn't find Mrs. Wang."

I asked Xiao Lu and them to help me find it, but Xiao Lu found nothing. ”

Shen Qingcheng led Lei Zhe into the room, habitually looked at the corridor outside the door, saw that there was no one around, and then closed the door again.

As soon as Lei Zhe entered the room, he grabbed a glass of cold water in front of the table and went straight to his stomach.

"Qingcheng, I'm dying of thirst. You said that on this hot day, I ran to many places, and there was no news of Mrs. Wang.

This is also too anxious to die, two days ago the princess was fine, every time he asked me to carve something, I carved first and then collected money.

This time I gave her the carved thing, but she disappeared, and I carved it from the best mountain material. ”

Lei Zhe complained to Shen Qingcheng vigorously.

Shen Qingcheng listened to it for a long time before he understood. The reason why Lei Zhe is so worried about Mrs. Wang is because Mrs. Wang has not paid him yet.

"How much does Mrs. Wang owe you?" Shen Qingcheng opened the cigarette case, smoked a cigarette for himself, and handed it to Lei Zhe.

Every time Shen Qingcheng was upset, he would light a cigarette for himself.

When Lei Zhe saw Shen Qingcheng handing him a cigarette, he was a little timid, "You...... Didn't you quit? How...... Why is it smoked again? ”

Shen Qingcheng spit out a smoke ring, looked at the smoke in front of him, and said faintly. "Ring? No, I'm used to it. I've been dreaming again for the past two days! ”

Lei Zhe didn't listen carefully, he teased beside him, "Qingcheng, who doesn't do this dream, you can't help but make too much fuss." ”

Shen Qingcheng's face sank, and he looked at Lei Zhe with a serious face, "I'm not talking about ordinary dreams, I've dreamed of those Buddhas again recently, the most important thing is that the picture is the same every time, the picture I see is that they are making Buddhas, they are carving Buddha statues." ”

Regarding Shen Qingcheng's Buddha-related dreams, Lei Zhe, who grew up with him since childhood, has heard it more than a thousand times.

Lei Zhe comforted Shen Qingcheng on the side, "Qingcheng, in fact, you don't have to take this to heart. Whether it has anything to do with your past life or not, I don't think you need to dwell on it anymore.

Thinking about the day, dreaming at night. If you don't think about it, you won't have dreams, and if you think about it, of course it will come into dreams. Master has told you before that I hope you will let go of your dreams and let go of the distractions in your heart. ”
