Chapter 891 A Glimpse of Buddha
Among Buddhist statues, except for gods like the Four Heavenly Kings, most of the others are sitting with their eyes closed.
Why do Buddha statues have their eyes closed, or half closed? Wei Changtian has never explored this question, but it is said that it is because the Buddha cannot bear to see the suffering of sentient beings, so he closes his eyes.
And now, in the sudden gust of wind, under Wei Changtian's astonished gaze, the huge statue of Sakyamuni that was nearly ten feet tall actually slowly opened its eyes.
The Buddha's eyes are solemn, and there seems to be a great mystery in them that is neither sad nor happy, and looks down on everything.
To put it more simply, it is a kind of calmness without any emotion.
No joy, no sorrow, no anger, no happiness.
There was nothing, just a pair of golden pupils. This was a scene that was hard to describe.
If someone else saw such a strange sight, they would probably faint from fright the next moment.
Although Wei Changtian was not frightened to the point of fainting, his heart suddenly tightened when he was stared at by such a pair of eyes, as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand.
At this moment, even his breathing stopped for a moment. From a world where "natural science" was the mainstream cognition, to this world based on "internal force and true qi", after crossing over, Wei Changtian came into contact with many things that he had never dared to think about in his previous life.
Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, witchcraft, and Gu.
Monsters, illusions, formations, and magical weapons.
Various kinds of martial arts and supernatural powers, the earth-shaking battle between top masters, and the dark fighting on the battlefield involving millions of people.
It can be said that although it has only been more than three years, Wei Changtian's experience and identity have made him knowledgeable even more than the vast majority of the "natives" in this world.
Having seen so many, if Wei Changtian were asked to choose the scene that shocked him the most, it would undoubtedly be this scene.
It wasn't exactly the scene that shocked him.
What really made him lose his mind and freeze at such a critical moment was actually the pair of open Buddha's eyes. This was a look that Wei Changtian had never seen before.
It was like a glimpse from the real Buddha.
"Brother Zhang, did you see it just now? There seemed to be a golden light falling over Yun'an Temple."
On the other side, there is a private house about seven or eight miles away from Yun'an Temple.
The house is not big and is located at the entrance of an alley. It has been vacant for a long time since the owner left.
Gu Paner was walking around the house at this time, carefully checking the conditions of each room. Judging from her expression, she seemed quite satisfied.
The two agents who accompanied her to "view the house" clearly did not have the "professional qualities" of the real estate agents in her previous life. They did not come along to introduce anything, but instead stood at the door and chatted idly.
One of the younger dentists looked up in a certain direction and muttered in confusion: "Am I dazzled? It disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"I told you to read less at night."
The other older broker curled his lips when he heard this, and it was obvious that he did not take his companion's words seriously.
"The provincial examination is held every year. If you can't do it this year, you can try next year. Why work so hard?"
"Do you know the youngest son of the old Li family in Shijing Lane?"
"He was just like you. He worked all day and studied at night for the past few years. Guess what happened?"
"He passed the exam?"
The young dentist's eyes lit up, and he was about to ask something else, but was interrupted by the old dentist with disdain: "You didn't pass the exam, your eyesight was damaged before you even took the provincial exam."
"When it's farther away, I can't see clearly, I can't even make out the people, and I almost made a fool of myself several times."
"Now, not only does his father not allow him to go to school, but he can't even find a wife."
“.”
As if to prove that "studying has only disadvantages and no advantages", the old man kept chattering on and on.
The young dentist didn't really care about it, probably because he heard a lot of these "advice" in his daily life.
He looked up at the sky again and was very clear that he was not seeing things. There was indeed a golden light falling near Yun'an Temple.
I just don't know why others didn't see it. "You two, I've finished reading it."
Just when the young dentist was confused, a voice sounded not far away. It was Gu Paner who had finished looking at the house.
Upon hearing this, the former immediately put the previous episode behind him, smiled and walked over to ask: "Miss Gu, what do you think of this house?"
“It’s better than the previous ones, but no one has lived there for years, so many doors and windows need to be replaced.”
Gu Paner was well versed in the art of bargaining. Although she was very satisfied with the house, she still found many faults one by one.
The old dentist didn't care, but the young dentist patiently answered all the questions one by one, and then advised sincerely: "Miss Gu, although this house is a bit old, it can be as good as a new house with a simple renovation."
"Besides, don't you want to do some small business?"
"This place is at the entrance of an alley, and it's quite busy with people coming and going. You can live in the backyard, and clean up the front yard so that it can be used as a shop."
“This way, we can save money on renting a shop.”
It was obvious that the young dentist was much more dedicated than the older one, and he gave Gu Paner a lot of serious advice.
The latter thought it made sense, so he nodded and asked, "How much is this house?"
"One thousand five hundred taels."
This time, before the young brothel owner could speak, the old brothel owner said, "No bargaining, not a penny less."
"There is no reason not to bargain in business."
Gu Paner frowned: "Don't think that I am a woman and I am easy to bully."
"Humph, don't say these useless things, it's just 1,500 taels."
The old broker snorted coldly, glanced at the somewhat angry Gu Paner, and deliberately muttered: "She is just a prostitute, I look down on her."
"Brother Zhang!"
Suddenly, just before Gu Paner was about to explode, the young dentist loudly interrupted the old dentist.
He pulled the latter out of the yard, and came back after a while, bowing to Gu Paner with an apologetic look.
"Miss Gu, I'm really sorry."
"Brother Zhang was cheated by a prostitute before, that's why..."
"Alas, no matter what, it was Brother Zhang who was wrong. I apologize to you on his behalf. Please don't take it to heart."
"The minimum price for this house is 1,300 taels. If you think it's about right, we can discuss it in detail."
"If you still think it's too expensive, I have a few cheaper ones here. We can go take a look."
I apologized sincerely and gave the lowest price.
Gu Paner had long been accustomed to other people's contempt and ridicule, so when the young man finished speaking, her anger subsided a lot.
"Okay, one thousand three hundred taels is one thousand three hundred taels."
As if she was too lazy to stay here any longer, she said simply, "But I'm still short of money, so I need to go back and get some more."
"Besides, I still have to ask my husband about this matter."
"Well, I'll come back tomorrow morning, and you prepare the contract in advance."
