Mu Liang gave some instructions to the auction company staff, and before getting off work, he quickly went to the finance office to complete the payment procedures.
We got the raw ore, jade fabric, 21 pieces of certification documents and duty-paid invoices for cut jade.
After returning to the scene, the auction company had arranged the cut fabrics neatly, took photos and printed them one by one, and delivered the actual objects to him.
The translator brought 21 bags, and Mu Liang signed the "Donation Statement" one by one, and put them into each bag together with supporting documents, copies of tax paid invoices, corresponding photos, and cut jade.
After Zishu Yinyue and others got it, Mu Liang randomly picked a bag and handed it to the chef "Big Han" as a reward.
The "big man" chef didn't know why, so he took the bag and stood silently beside it, his humorous expression made everyone chuckle.
Mu Liang handed half of the jade bag to the translator and asked him to donate it to the General Administration of Public Security.
After everything was done, eight people took their own armored vehicles and prepared to return to the hotel for lunch.
On the way, Mu Liang caught a glimpse of Zi Shu Yinyue's narrow eyes, so he had to pretend to be proud and waved his hand, bragging that he was worth hundreds of billions. This was just a trinket and he thought he couldn't get rid of it.
Everyone was speechless. After receiving his favor, they could only let him make nonsense.
After lunch, Mu Liang arranged the afternoon's itinerary.
A team of Zishu Yinyue and Li Feini, protected by a liaison officer and an Earth Star guard, went to Dongcheng District to help distribute leaflets and small gifts.
Leiby and Tang Xiaolong, protected by an Earth Star Guard, went to Beicheng District to assist in the work.
I went to Nancheng District to promote and do some personal things.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Liang dressed up in disguise, put on sunglasses, carried a small bag, installed a wireless translator, took a taxi, and arrived at a publicity point in Nancheng District.
He showed the ID given to him by the liaison officer and after verifying his identity, he started the specific work.
Mu Liang did not squat there and wait. Instead, he ran to the nearby jade wholesale market and spent tens of thousands of Chinese coins to buy 200 small jade Buddhas.
Put 200 pieces of information into the item bag and head southwest.
Along the way, he focused on those non-jade shop owners who couldn't leave. He imitated the demeanor of a young novice monk, paying homage to the Buddha with one hand while handing out leaflets and respectfully presenting small jade Buddhas.
When I almost reached my destination, I finished handing out the flyers, and the effect was completely different from standing at the counter.
Residents or businessmen who were originally not very enthusiastic, after receiving the gift of the Jade Buddha, they, being pious by nature, believed from the bottom of their hearts that this was the Buddha's will and represented auspicious blessings. They not only returned the gift sincerely, read the content on the spot, but also took it home. It was circulated among the public and really played a propaganda role.
Although this trick works, it is expensive.
Mu Liang focused on completing the task and had no intention of showing off in front of the staff, so he avoided distributing it to them.
Unexpectedly, this behavior would have a chain reaction.
Not long after he left, an old lady and old man from the residents came to the promotion counter. After receiving the promotional leaflet, they only had shopping coupons, and asked why the Little Jade Buddha was not given out.
The staff found out the whole story and secretly scolded Mu Liang for not doing anything good.
However, this method reached the ears of propaganda department officials. After some investigation and research, they believed that the effect was very good, so they specially allocated funds to purchase a batch of cheap and high-quality jade Buddhas.
The implementation of timed and limited supply attracted a large number of people to queue up to receive the materials.
In this way, the originally slow-moving election work was completed ahead of schedule with the active cooperation of residents.
Mu Liang never realized that after he left Mantle, the story of "sending Buddha to teach the Dharma" began to spread.
This method has become an important propaganda method in areas where believers are widely spread, and has accelerated the progress of many major projects.
Mu Liang did not take another car and walked all the way through the streets and alleys. While completing the work at hand, he relaxed and enjoyed the spring scenery.
Occasionally, he would chat with an old man sitting on the street, make children who were a few years younger than him laugh, observe the rhythm of manual labor, experience various aspects of the world, and understand the meaning of existence.
The setting sun was setting, and before we knew it, we arrived at the Muni Pagoda in the southwest of Mantle.
From afar, Mu Liang's spiritual magnetic field became active.
A kind of holy and sincere intimacy reappeared in my heart, very similar to the feeling in the Red Palace.
At this time, there are few tourists, pilgrims are pious, and the name of the Buddha is widely spread.
Moved, Mu Liang paid a lot of money for a jade Buddha at the sales point outside the tower, held it in his arms, and walked inside.
I found the director of the pagoda and showed him the religious documents of the holy son of the Wuyue Sect. I was so surprised that the director hurriedly stood up to greet each other, performing the rituals of the religion on each other to show friendship.
The host took the Jade Buddha and signaled the leading monk to take a photo and keep it as a sign of respect.
Then he opened the safe, took out a half-foot-long huanghuali wooden box, pressed the switch to reveal the gold-plated Buddha statue inside, and gave it to Mu Liang as a return gift.
Then he took out 2 copies of the mutual gift agreement and kept one copy for each file.
Religious rituals are reciprocal, regardless of high or low, regardless of value, everything depends on fate.
Mu Liang proposed to visit the Buddha statue to understand the true meaning of Buddhism, connect the origins and theology of the two religions, and achieve a state of spiritual unity.
The director had heard about the saintly son of the Wuyue Sect and his profound association with Tibetan Buddhism, and he had already recognized his earthly connection with Buddhism, so he immediately personally guided the tour and expounded it.
Just listen to the boss saying as he walks:
"When the Buddha came down to earth, he cast molten copper with the king's offerings, and poured seven drops of sweat into the furnace to cast the Buddha statue."
"Ten years after the bronze seated Buddha sat and watched the human world, a fire destroyed the city of Mantara. The Buddha statue is as stable as a rock and will not be destroyed through all the tribulations. It reminds us that the suffering in the world will eventually come to an end."
"In order to purify Buddhism and guard against greed and anger, the pagoda politely refuses female pilgrims to approach the Buddha's body. This clear regulation has been used to save all sentient beings for more than 300 years."
Mu Liang listened carefully to the legend of Buddha and asked about some Buddhist allusions from time to time, but the conversation was relaxed and pleasant.
Entering the pagoda complex, Mu Liang first saw the exquisite spire building "Shwedagon Pagoda", in which lived the true form of the compassionate Buddha.
According to the person in charge, the deep corridor facing the Buddha statue is roughly divided into three worship areas.
The high platform shrine where the Buddha is located is the main hall of worship. It is the first worship area and is full of believers who come to pay homage.
Under the high platform, a small area separated by a fence is the second worship area, where many devout male tourists worship.
Outside the second area is an open worship area, where men, women, old and young can chant sutras and pray.
When he arrived at the first worship area, Mu Liang chose a remote corner and signaled to the person in charge that he should not worry about him anymore, and that he could meditate on the Tao on his own with his eyes closed.
The host originally wanted to stay with him as a show of respect, but seeing his resolute attitude, he had to give up. He asked the monk on duty to protect him secretly, and left with a verbal greeting.
Mu Liang abandoned the noise and quickly fell into trance, tranquility and concentration. He listened to the bells and bells in the distance, the sound of Buddha lingering, and up close he felt the magnetic field rippling and the spring breeze moistening things.
The mirror in my heart hangs high, and it is empty.
The soul is like leaving the body, drifting away from the illusion, as if seeing the Buddha's preaching journey across thousands of mountains and rivers, reading the ascetic methods that have been sung for thousands of years, and realizing the timeless warning philosophy.
Feel the suffering with your heart, pursue the path of perseverance, welcome new life with peace, and influence all things with piety. ,
Come and go, over and over again, ups and downs, ups and downs, great things like tigers, great evils like wolves, great good things like water.
The mental magnetic field has once again settled, becoming more substantial and sensitive, and the magnetic beam has become more resilient. This is a new gain.
The wind is blowing and the night is quiet.
The people have gone, the building is empty, but the Buddha is still there.
In the distance, the lanterns are lit, stars are dotted, people are noisy, and flutes are playing.
Mu Liang was still in meditation as an old monk, sitting as quietly as a bell, his posture unchanged.
This piety, this faith, this persistence made the waiting chief feel ashamed.
The monk on night duty came and asked curiously in a low voice. Hearing the answer from the master, he was even more impressed.
At 7pm, the phone rang.
Mu Liang woke up from a dream, and it was Lebby who urged him to go back for dinner.
After the prevarication was over, he stood up and apologized to the person in charge, but received heartfelt praise.
"The little holy son has a destiny in Buddhism. It seems that the Buddha's shadow appeared just now. Could it be that he has enlightened on the Buddhist scriptures?" the chief asked expectantly.
"Maybe the Buddha appeared and helped me meditate and realize the Tao. I felt something in my heart. I still need to go back and experience it carefully."
Mu Liang took the opportunity to change the topic and change the focus.
"Buddha's power is boundless and he can save all living beings. I hope he can bring good luck to the little saint." The host sincerely expressed his blessing.
“Thank you very much for your kind words, sir. I wish that the incense in the temple and pagoda will last forever, and that the monks in the temple will be safe and healthy and fulfill their Buddhist vows.
I've caused a lot of trouble today, so please forgive me.
It's getting late, you and I will say goodbye. See you later. "
Mu Liangzhi arrived early at night, expressed his feelings, and left after seeing the ceremony.
"The little saint is sincere and the old monk understands it in his heart. We will see you again if we are destined."
Watching the guests go away, the monk in charge suddenly felt lost and empty in his heart.
Walking out of the pagoda and walking on the forest road dotted with stripes of light and shadow, Mu Liang felt empty, refreshed, relaxed and relaxed, and more and more confident.
He took out his mobile phone with ID card and clicked on the group's public channel.
I responded to the surprised emoticons and countless speculations from the team members, and negotiated tomorrow’s itinerary with the liaison officer, and posted it on the channel.
Walking among the crowds in the streets and alleys, Mu Liang felt lonely and at ease, with the illusion of being independent in the world of mortals.
If Mom and Dad were to know that he saw through the world of mortals at such a young age, they would not know whether to cry or laugh.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered the opening ceremony of Mu's Pharmaceutical Company tomorrow.
Quickly call your father, uncle, and aunt to explain your situation and that you can't ask for leave to go back.
After congratulating him on the phone, the elders would naturally not blame him for this.
After looking for a crowded local food stall and ordering a few specialties, Mu Liang sat at the small table and listened to other people's comments.
