Chapter 255: Elder Xue's Purpose

After Mo Yidai finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Gu Ming confused. (.marshmallow)

Gu Ming thought about it for a while, and suddenly thought of what Song Yao and Ba Lang went out to do yesterday, maybe the place they were going to today had something to do with the place Song Yao went to yesterday.

Thinking of this, Gu Ming shook her head, hurriedly closed the door, first called Qin Sheng, explaining that they might go out later, and then rushed into the bathroom to start freshening up.

In less than half an hour, Gu Ming finally took care of everything and went to the restaurant with her rumbling belly.

Xue Lao had already sat down in his seat and started to eat breakfast, and he couldn't see the drunken appearance of yesterday at all.

"Come and sit down." Mo Yidai beckoned to Gu Ming.

"What about Song Yao?" Gu Ming walked to Mo Yidai's side, glanced around and didn't see Song Yao's figure.

"I just went to call her, and I should be coming over right away." As soon as Mo Yidai's words fell, Song Yao appeared at the door of the restaurant.

Song Yao didn't seem to have slept well last night, her face looked a little pale, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she looked a little dizzy.

"Headache?" Mo Yidai asked.

"It's okay, I just drank too much yesterday." Song Yao smiled, took the porridge that Mo Yidai served for her, and drank it in small sips.

After a while, everyone finished breakfast, and Xue Lao didn't mean to set off immediately, but asked Song Yao to explain today's itinerary.

After Song Yao's explanation, Gu Ming realized that Song Yao went out yesterday to do something for Xue Lao, and she went to inquire about the Buddha statues in the Ming Dynasty yesterday, and only after getting useful news did she go to the jade mine to meet them.

"What kind of Buddha statue is that?" Gu Ming asked curiously.

For Xue Lao to come all the way here, the Buddha statue that Song Yao inquired about yesterday should not be an ordinary Buddha statue.

Since the Sixteen Kingdoms. Buddha statues are made in large quantities, and believers integrate their beliefs and spiritual sustenance into various materials and forms of Buddha statues. In addition to the gold, silver, bronze, iron Buddha and stone Buddha statues that are easy to preserve, there are also Buddha statues made of bamboo and wood, clay sculptures, lacquer, jade, jade, paper and other materials, among them, the gold and bronze Buddha and the stone Buddha survive the most, and also attract the most people's attention.

Buddha statues have always been loved and sought after by various collectors, and the market has been rising in recent years, and because of religious beliefs, Buddha statues have been given to lamas/ma/some temples as a national gift in ancient times.

However, the most popular Buddha statues are still those made in the Ming and Qing courts, not only because of their exquisite craftsmanship. It is also because of its historical and cultural significance. Since ancient times, everything that has been touched by the royal family has been worth much more than ordinary things, and the Ming and Qing dynasties are relatively close to our current era, and there are similarities in some aesthetic tastes.

It's just that Gu Ming doesn't quite understand. Why the Buddha statues came to this place, you must know that most of the people here do not believe in Buddhism but Islam.

"It is said that it was a Buddha statue cast during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and I spent a lot of time yesterday just looking at it. I didn't even touch it, so I don't know very well, but judging from the appearance of the Buddha statue, it is indeed very beautifully made. Song Yao said carefully.

"Is it a Buddha statue made by the court? What kind of material? Gu Ming heard this. Immediately, the interest increased, and the fine Buddha statues of the Yongle period were not common. She has also seen it in one of the few museums.

"It's a gilded statue of Sakyamuni, whether it's produced by the palace or not, I'm not sure." Song Yao said softly.

"Song Yao has already discussed it with the people over there, and the other party agreed that we will go over today to have a look, and we will go on the road later, you two pay attention." Xue Lao commanded lightly.

Gu Ming and the three of them immediately nodded, indicating that they understood.

"It's not appropriate to go out today." Xue Lao glanced at Gu Ming.

Gu Ming was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what Xue Lao was referring to, and hurriedly said, "I understand." ”

"Hmm." Xue Lao nodded, and didn't say anything more.

Gu Ming and Qin Sheng had called before. Now that Xue Lao was a little famous, she didn't want Qin Sheng and Fang Zhou to go with her, so she hurriedly called the other party again and explained the situation on their side.

Qin Sheng is very considerate. After listening to Gu Ming's words, he replied: "I know, it just so happens that Fang Zhou can't get up today." I'll be waiting for you at the hotel. ”

"Then you and the ark should be more careful." Gu Ming hurriedly said.

Qin Sheng chuckled lightly, and responded again and again.

Since she had intimate contact with Qin Sheng again last night, Gu Ming's words of concern have become more smooth, and she didn't even notice this, but Mo Yidai, who passed by her side, glanced at her.

When Gu Ming hung up the phone, what he saw was Mo Yidai's smiling face.

"Something?" Gu Ming looked at Mo Yidai puzzled.

"It's fine." Mo Yidai shook his head, smiled at Gu Ming, and only said, "Mr. Qin is a very good person." ”

"Okay." Gu Ming didn't twist either, and faced Mo Yidai calmly.

"Hurry up and prepare, we'll be off right away." Seeing that Gu Ming was so calm, Mo Yidai didn't say anything more, turned around and prepared to go.

Soon the group sat in the car, and after Song Yao explained the address clearly, Mo Yidai drove the car towards the destination.

Originally, Gu Ming thought that they would be able to reach their destination soon, but after asking Song Yao, they learned that the Buddha statue was still a certain distance away from the hotel where they were staying, and Mo Yidai drove for more than an hour to reach the destination.

The place they were going to visit was a small three-storey building with a very modern atmosphere, which looked like a private villa, but although it was not very prosperous, it was not a villa area.

Along the way, they were able to see houses that resembled private villas every once in a while, but many of them were built with very halal features, and the ordinary modern houses in front of them seemed a little unusual.

Maybe because Song Yao came to say hello yesterday, Gu Ming and his party rang the doorbell not long before someone came to open the door.

The one who came to open the door was a middle-aged Uyghur man, he glanced at Gu Ming and the others with a little vigilance, and after discovering Song Yao, a person who had only come to the door yesterday, he opened the door and turned sideways to let Gu Ming and the others in.

After Gu Ming walked in, she took a closer look, and felt that most of the owners here were Han people who believed in Buddhism, and after she entered the door, she smelled a unique smell of burning incense and candles, which was very similar to the smell after following the Buddhist temple.

"You're here, please come in." There was a man in his thirties sitting in the living room, and he stood up after seeing Gu Ming and the others.

After seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Gu Ming confirmed his guess even more, and the man who stood up to greet them didn't look like a Uyghur at all, to a bit like a person from the south.

Song Yao and the man were relatively familiar, so she took the initiative to introduce them to both parties.

The man in his thirties was surnamed Liu, and he was the owner of the Buddha statue they were going to see, and the other party didn't seem to know who Xue Lao was, and he didn't react when he heard Song Yao introduce Xue Lao as Professor Xue.

Xue Lao is an honorary professor at Capital University, and it is not strange to be introduced as a professor, Gu Ming saw what Song Yao and Xue Lao meant, and knew that Xue Lao didn't really want to show her identity, so she also honestly closed her mouth and didn't say anything.

Mr. Liu knew the intention of Gu Ming and the others to come here, and he didn't mean to sell more guanzi, so he directly led the group of them to the backyard of the house in addition to the living room, and walked towards the backyard of the house, and arrived at a place similar to a small Buddha hall, and the smell of burning incense and candles that Gu Ming smelled before came from inside.

"This is a small Buddha hall built by my father when he was alive, and the Buddha statue you want to see is inside." Mr. Liu led everyone to the Buddhist hall.

"Mr. Liu, don't you believe in Buddhism?" Xue Lao suddenly asked.

"Of course." Mr. Liu smiled.

Xue Lao nodded, and then stopped talking.

After entering the Buddhist hall, it is not difficult to see that Mr. Liu said that believing in Buddhism is not just a joke, according to what he said that it was his deceased father who built this Buddhist hall, but this Buddhist hall does not look like it has been abandoned by others, not only is it clean and dusty, but also at a glance you know that someone has been here for a long time to make incense.

Mr. Liu first bowed very reverently to a small Buddha statue placed in the middle of the room, and did not ask Gu Ming and others to worship together.

It's just that since they have come here, Gu Ming and the others have no special sect/religious beliefs, and they also go to the temple from time to time to worship during the New Year's Festival, so the group stepped forward one by one to worship, and put a stick of incense on the way.

"The Buddha statue is over here." After everyone had finished worshipping, Mr. Liu led everyone around the Buddha statue in the middle and walked towards its back.

Song Yao had mentioned before that the gilded statue of Sakyamuni was placed in the Buddha hall, so everyone was not surprised by this.

Behind the Buddha statue they had worshiped before, there was a small space, which seemed to be a place to place incense and candles and other miscellaneous items on weekdays, but at this time, there were no miscellaneous items in the small compartment, and it was cleaned up very neatly.

At this time, the Buddha statue of a child about 4 or 5 years old was covered with a red cloth, and it was quietly placed on a small Buddha platform, and a small incense burner was placed in front of the Buddha statue, and a burning incense stick was inserted on it.

Mr. Liu bowed to the Buddha statue, muttered a few words in a low voice, and then stepped forward to see the red cloth covering the Buddha statue gently uncovered, revealing the true face of the Buddha statue.
