Li Mo pretended to be surprised and then regained his composure. Since they were so anxious about this matter, they must have had a plan for Xiao Jiujiu.
Seeing that Li Mo was silent and did not answer their words at all, Director Cheng sighed secretly. It was almost impossible to take advantage of such a person.
"Professor Li, the reason we are here is to discuss with you, if the real body of Sakyamuni Buddha's finger bone relic is really found in the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty, can we keep it in Fayun Temple and enshrine it again? In the stupa?”
Several officials were staring at his face, trying to read something from his face.
"Mr. Cheng, everything is just speculation. Are you too worried?"
Li Mo asked calmly.
"We are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. We are also prepared for rainy days. I hope Professor Li can understand. If the true relic cannot be enshrined in the pagoda of Fayun Temple, the entire Fayun Temple will face disaster."
The person in charge named Cheng said it very sincerely.
"I can understand this."
Li Mo nodded.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Li Mo asked seriously.
"Professor Li, I wonder what you have in mind?"
It depends on the conditions. As long as you are willing to talk, you can talk.
"Mr. Cheng can be regarded as a semi-savvy person, so who do you think is more valuable, the real body of Sakyamuni Buddha's finger bones and relics, or the treasure that is comparable to half of the Tang Dynasty?"
As soon as this was asked, several people looked at each other and fell silent. They all heard it, and Li Mo was also asking them to make a choice. They were the first to break the rules, so they naturally made the choice of how to end it.
"For the Buddhist community, the real body of Sakyamuni Buddha's finger bones and relics is a divine object and the spiritual belief of believers. Its status exceeds everything else."
"Then Mr. Cheng, can you give me a clear answer?" Li Mo then added, "In fact, I can completely ignore you. I hope you can also show me sincerity. Too many polite words are hypocritical, I guess. You know this better than I do."
At this time, the waiter knocked on the door with a pot of tea and brought it in. He also poured a cup for everyone before leaving.
"Professor Li, if you were in my position, what choice would you make?" the person in charge named Cheng asked after thinking for a while.
Li Mo picked up the tea cup and took a sip before saying: "I will give up the real body of Sakyamuni Buddha's finger bones and relics, and keep thousands of treasures in the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty."
"Why?"
Everyone looked at him to hear his answer.
Li Mo smiled and said calmly: "Mr. Cheng is in his early fifties. Do you want to walk up there again?"
The man named Cheng's face moved slightly, and he hesitated before saying: "Please teach me Professor Li."
The tone is very polite.
"The country is preparing to build a Buddhist pilgrimage site near Yanjiao, Kyoto. Whether it is investment scale or economic strategic goals, it will definitely be many times the scale of the Fayun Temple scenic spot. This news is unmistakable. I will go back to attend the press conference in two days. Think about it, the country has concentrated its efforts to participate, do you think Fayun Temple can still be comparable to Buddhist pilgrimage sites in the future? Don’t forget, it is close to Kyoto, don’t you know the meaning behind it? "
Several people were really moved. They had only heard rumors before, but they had not confirmed it. But now Li Mo is so sure, there is absolutely no lie in that matter.
"When all eyes and hearts are turned to Yanjiao, so what if Fayun Temple enshrines the true body of the relics. I also have a relic pagoda in my hand, which also enshrines the relics of a certain eminent monk. I also have a relic in my hand. An invincible body left by Zen Master Yuanji is regarded as a national treasure in the island country. I still have several Buddhist treasures in my hand. I will take a multi-pronged approach, even if there is the finger bone relic of Sakyamuni Buddha in Fayun Temple The true identity will gradually be forgotten."
Several officials were shocked that there was such a saucy operation. If you think about it carefully, Li Mo is not just talking nonsense, it is actually possible.
"If I were you, I could take the initiative to suggest that the real body of Sakyamuni Buddha's finger bones and relics enshrined in Fayun Temple be brought to a Buddhist pilgrimage site near Yanjiao. And that relic pagoda should re-consecrate the shadow bones of the real relics. At that time, more than 2,000 treasures born in the Tang Dynasty underground palace will be rebuilt here to meet more needs of tourists."
"Shadow Bones? Professor Li, what are Shadow Bones?"
The person in charge named Cheng lowered his attitude a little more.
"Shadow bones are relative to the real bones and spiritual bones of the Buddha. Shadow means shadow or imitation, that is, the bone of shadow. After the Buddha passed away, his disciples used jade to make them according to the shape and size of the real bones. The shadow bone is the shadow of the spiritual bone, which proves the immortality of the spiritual bone. Buddhism believes that the shadow bone and the spiritual bone are not one and the same. Mr. Zhao Puchu praised: The shadow bone is neither one nor different. It’s as bright as the three rivers reflected in January.”
"The purpose of making shadow bones is to protect the real bones. Protection has two aspects: one is for care, and the other is for safety. The shadow bones come forward to accept worship and offerings on behalf of the real bones, so that believers can see them as real bones and have a heart of respect. It is the function of shadow offering to make good roots grow.
"Like a shadow, it never leaves the left and right. The shadow bone makes sacrifices when necessary to protect the real bone. Therefore, the relationship between the real bone and the shadow bone is a master-partner relationship, a master-slave relationship, and a relationship between the real body and the substitute."
"If the real body of Sakyamuni Buddha's finger bones and relics is really found in the underground palace of the Tang Dynasty, there will definitely be shadow bones."
After Li Mo finished speaking, he picked up the cup on the coffee table and said, "The tea is good, please."
Five minutes later, several official people left worriedly. They did not make an immediate choice. After all, Li Mo's proposal was beyond their understanding. Especially for the meaning of shadow bones, other experts need to be consulted. If it is as Li Mo said, then his proposal is undoubtedly the best choice.
The most important point is that if they agree with Li Mo's choice, then they will also have the opportunity to move up. And although Li Mo didn't say it explicitly, he might be able to contribute.
The reason why they were anxious was because they knew in their hearts that they could not defeat Li Mo. If you make him anxious, anything can happen.
"The food tonight is good. I am so happy to be able to eat seafood here."
Li Mo praised it while eating seafood.
"Boss, I heard from Mr. Zhu that she will come to Fufeng tomorrow." Yu Ting was eating vegetables at the side.
"Which Mr. Zhu?"
Li Mo didn't react for a moment.
"Cai Cai."
Yu Ting was a little speechless.
"Oh, I asked her to come. I heard Director Gu say that there are many people in need of help here. The Wonderful Charity Fund exists to help people who really need help, so I asked her to come and take a look. "
The brown bear drank his beer with a look of understanding on his face. The boss is still awesome. After a few combinations of punches, the official here not only lost his temper, but actually wanted to thank him.
