Chapter 526
During the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the weather is hot and hot, the streets are full of white-legged people, and the night markets around Fahua Temple are full of young men and women.
During this period, Fahua Temple has been closed, and devotees rarely choose to burn incense at night.
But on the eve of the grand Obon festival, the streets around the temple were filled with antique lanterns, and the temple was also brightly lit to receive pilgrims.
Xiao Xingyun originally wanted Li Kewei to drive around a few times, but he used his third eye to check the reality of Fahua Temple.
Seeing that there were too many tourists around, it was hard to tell which ones were monks and which ones were tourists, so they simply parked the car and the two of them walked to the temple.
Under the observation of the third eye, there is still a little difference between some monks with basic spiritual practice and ordinary people, but the difference is not big.
Maybe there was some cultivation method before, but after so many years of changes, nothing has been passed down.
Under the observation of Xiao Xingyun's third eye, almost all ordinary people, such as retired soldiers like Li Kewei and Li Bing, had a slightly brighter energy state than ordinary people.
"Master Xingyan deliberately disclosed the photo of the jade eye fragment, which should be a bait. Combined with the fact that they hired Wang Banxian's tomb-robber gang to dig up the tomb of Monk Bianji, they should know some legends about the three-eyed evil Buddha."
"So, they also wanted to collect the jade eye fragments, but unfortunately I intercepted them at Baiyun Temple. They found out that the jade eye fragments were fake, and they were resentful and wanted to find me out."
"These nine jade eye fragments should be the last nine fragments on their bodies, otherwise they will definitely string them together and use them as bait to deceive me."
After Xiao Xingyun entered the temple, he no longer thought about these messy things.
He did not believe in Buddhism, so he deliberately offered three sticks of incense in front of the incense burner in front of the main hall.
While offering incense, Xiao Xingyun saw many surveillance cameras surrounding the incense burner, wondering what the temple was monitoring.
After walking around for half a circle, Xiao Xingyun found that there were many people in the monk's dormitory. Some of the monks had energy rays similar to those of Li Kewei and Ding Bing. They looked like strong masters at first glance.
In one of the dormitories, Xiao Xingyun "saw" a string of jade eye fragments, nine in total, which attracted his attention like shining stars in the middle of the night.
Xiao Xingyun made a "gumble" sound and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. The desire in his soul for the fragment of the Three-Eyed Evil Buddha was stronger than anything else.
"We should almost find them all. I have a vague feeling that there are only about a dozen fragments left outside. If we grab these nine fragments, we won't be far behind."
There is still a fragment on Xiao Xingyun's wrist, which he has never been willing to absorb. It is used to stimulate dreams and learn more about the life of Yuanji, the three-eyed clan.
Unfortunately, the monk's dormitory cannot be entered. There are actually four security guards at the door. There is only one gate, and the surrounding walls are higher than the walls of his villa in Shenghai.
You can't stay too long at the door of the monk's dormitory at night. It's too eye-catching. Xiao Xingyun just took a surprised look and left the temple with his bodyguards.
The next morning, Xiao Xingyun came to Fahua Temple again. There were so many pilgrims during the day that it was crowded.
But when he visited the place, there were so many people during the day that he didn't even need to burn incense.
Fahua Temple unexpectedly invited many reporters from the news media. When the altar was being set up, an old monk who looked like the abbot of the temple spoke eloquently to the reporters.
"Master Xingyan has great compassion and is willing to donate the relic bracelet of a Buddhist eminent monk to our Fahua Temple. This relic bracelet will be enshrined in the Main Hall for seven days and then transferred to the inner courtyard for enshrinement."
Master Xingyan raised the jade eye fragment bracelet in his hand at the right time and showed an incomprehensible smile, just like a real Buddhist master.
But Xiao Xingyun, under the cover of a cap and sunglasses, opened his third eye and saw that the energy rays on Xingyan's body were similar to those of ordinary people. He had no magical powers and nothing scary.
The other party may have thought that the bait was not obvious, so they actually said that the jade eye fragments were Buddhist relic bracelets, and deliberately let reporters report it.
Haha, we will limit the time to seven days and force those who are interested in the jade eye fragments to come and steal it.
In this case, I have no choice but to accept it, no matter how many surveillance cameras are installed in your temple or how many masters are ambushed, you can't stop it.
Ding ding ding, ding ding ding.
Xiao Xingyun's cell phone rang, and it was Lin Pingzhi calling.
"Mr. Xiao, it's time for you to sober up, right? Since you haven't left, why don't you go out for lunch?"
"Haha, I have really sobered up. My friend and I are wandering around the scenic area. At noon, you can meet up with some friends in the circle that you have good relations with. Let's get together and talk to you about cooperation in jadeite rough. I have channels in Myanmar, so I can
Get cheap rough stones, if you are interested, we will discuss it in detail at noon."
"What? Mr. Xiao's methods are getting more and more wild. There is actually a way to get cheap jadeite from Myanmar? Is it safe?"
"Since I dare to sell it to you, it is safe goods. I will be responsible for transporting the rough stones to Tengchong or Yingjiang. You can pick the goods on the spot. If you like it, you can get more. If you don't, you can get less."
"Okay, I believe Mr. Xiao, then we will meet at noon to discuss in detail." Lin Pingzhi was a little excited. There are many people who can source raw stones, but there are not many cheap sources, and they are basically smuggled goods.
But if you dare to trade in the country, there is really a problem, and you can't find a profitable business with them.
Lin Pingzhi lamented Xiao Xingyun's wild approach and felt that this thigh hug was the right one, but Xiao Xingyun had his own considerations.
That private jade mine could deceive Song Biao two or three more times at most. When he couldn't cut out good material, he would be angry and desperate and would not buy any more material no matter how much he lost his deposit.
What to do with the remaining rough stones that Xiao Xingyun picked up? He must find other jade merchants to deal with them.
Lin Pingzhi helped Xiao Xingyun, and she was considered to be a friend. She would definitely not be too cheating. When selling ingredients, she would be given more ingredients to increase the price.
As for the others, Xiao Xingyun is not a philanthropist. He will only remind them that it is a private small mine and the location of the mine is unknown. It is best to resell it to other small jadeite rough merchants and cut less for himself.
If you believe him, you will definitely make money after the cheap materials change hands. If you don't listen to him, you are too greedy. If you choose to cut the materials yourself, you will deserve the loss.
After the phone call, Xiao Xingyun and Li Kewei left Fahua Temple and arrived at the hotel booked by Lin Pingzhi.
At this time, there were seven jade merchants in the private room. Most of them were the jade merchants who had done business with Xiao Xingyun yesterday. After all, there were only so many large jade merchants in Fu City.
Today, Lin Pingzhi wore a black V-neck dress. Her skin was white and her figure was slightly plump after losing weight, but she was definitely not obese.
Under the exquisite makeup, there is indeed some charm. She has been a rich girl since she was a child, and her temperament is not bad. Sitting among a group of gentlemen, she is like a flower among green leaves, attracting special attention.
"Mr. Xiao, we are all waiting for you. Hurry up and tell us the details of the jade raw stone resources in your hands. I only said half of what I said just now, and it made people feel itchy. I can't get up or down, not to mention how uncomfortable it is."
Lin Pingzhi pulled out the chair next to Xiao Xingyun and asked him to take the main seat.
