It's evening.
Xu Ruoxuan, Jia Jingwen and Shu Qi drove back. After seeing Lin Chen, they were naturally excited again.
Especially Shu Qi, naturally he couldn't think of it.
But she also knew that tonight was Xu Ruoxuan's home court. late at night.
Lin Chen, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes.
When he saw the person coming, he became wary and immediately raised the corners of his mouth....
…………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………………
Fast forward to the next morning.
Early in the morning.
Gong Ruxin drove to pick up Lin Chen and headed to Xigaoshan.
On a high mountain, Lin Chen and others stood in an open area, looking at the construction site not far away.
Even from a small distance, you can still hear the roar of various construction machines and the densely packed construction teams.
Gong Ruxin came over with a middle-aged man and introduced:"Master Yichen, this is Manager Chen Jiechen who is in charge of the Xishan Temple project."
Lin Chen bowed his hands:"Amitabha, I would like to thank you Master Chen for your help in the construction of Xishan Temple. Yes."
Chen Jie immediately clasped his hands respectfully:"Master Yichen, this is what I should do. It is my honor to build a temple for the Living Buddha."
Hearing this, Lin Chen smiled and said nothing, and looked into the distance. The construction team at the scene pointed to the location of the mountain in the distance:
"Master Chen, what are you planning to build over there?"
"I remember in the planning map, there seemed to be no buildings there, right?"
"According to Master Yichen, it is indeed not included in the project drawings."
Chen Jie explained:"When I took people there to see it before, I found a small natural stream somewhere."
"Although the running water is not big, I feel that it would be very good to build a wishing pool and a pavilion there."
The wishing pool?
Lin Chen looked around and saw that it was originally outside the temple.
Now Chen Jie wants to include that area within the scope of the temple and build a wishing pool and a place for people to rest. The pavilion is not bad.
Lin Chen asked several more about the places under construction and the progress of the construction. He learned that the main building will basically be completed in January next year.
Lin Chen suddenly asked:"Amitabha, no Knowing Mr. Chen 21, could the construction work be faster?"
"ah? Chen
Jie was stunned for a moment, then he frowned and began to estimate the construction progress and possible points of speeding up, and finally said:"It can be faster!""
"Although we are currently working in three shifts, constructing 24 hours a day, with people stopping and machines not stopping, if we increase the number of workers, I am confident that it will be completed by the end of December!"
In fact, temple buildings are built very quickly.
The temple buildings themselves are not difficult. Most of them are boxy. As long as the ground level is laid out, you can just build a house directly.
The interior does not need any special treatment. After building the platform for enshrining the Buddha statue, just invite the Buddha statue to be installed.
In addition, Chen Jie did not use traditional construction methods. In some places, a combination of concrete and wooden piles was used. The construction progress will naturally increase.
This is just like Building a factory is similar in nature. Everyone has been to the temple. If you don’t count the Buddha statues and altars, it is actually an empty house. It doesn’t need to be built very high.
The first phase of the project, the Main Hall, the Zen Room, the Four Heavenly Kings Hall, and the The Hundred and Eight Vajra Arhat Hall, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, the Eight Treasures Merit Lotus Pond... not counting the merit ponds, the other buildings are all flat in all directions, except for the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, which is 9 stories high and is a little difficult to build. But that's just one thing.
To build a house in a rural area, it can take a month to build a three-story building, not to mention professional construction teams, and there are so many construction teams working on it at the same time.
The only troublesome thing is the number of Buddha statues required for these halls. A bit too much.
In the Light Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, in addition to the five Buddhas: Vairocana Buddha in the middle, Precious Buddha in the south, Akho Buddha in the east, Amitabha in the west, and Amitabha Buddha in the north.
There are also tens of thousands of Buddhas. Buddha statues, although these Buddha statues are not big, only about the size of a pulsating bottle, they cannot be placed densely, and in front of each Buddha statue, there must be a lotus lantern, so each Buddha statue occupies The spatial location is about the same size as a piece of A4 paper.
Fortunately, last month, Gong Ruxin had entrusted a factory in the mainland that specializes in making Buddha statues to work overtime to produce the required Buddha statues.
"Master Yichen, I will arrange for people to recruit workers right now!"
Seeing that Lin Chen wanted to speed up, Gong Ruxin immediately winked at the assistant beside him.
The other person understood what he was doing. He immediately took out his mobile phone and called the company, preparing to ask the company to hurry up and recruit workers.
"Amitabha, thank you, layman Gong and layman Chen. Lin
Chen bowed his hands, and after thanking him, he said:"It's not because the poor monk is anxious, but mainly because the poor monk intends to open the gate of the mountain and hold a grand Dharma ceremony on the occasion of the New Year to benefit the lay people and donors in Xiangjiang." , praying practices"
"Master Yichen is compassionate and wants to pray for the citizens of Xiangjiang, so we naturally have to speed up the construction progress."
Chen Jie did not doubt Master Yichen's words.
After all, the difference between the speed and slowness of temple construction was only one month. There was no need for the other party to lie.
Gong Ruxin beside him reminded:"Manager Chen, you must not only ensure the construction progress, but also to ensure the quality of construction. Chen
Jie nodded vigorously:"Don't worry, Chairman, I will move to the construction site on the mountain next.""
"I won’t go down the mountain until the first phase is completed. I will personally keep an eye on the progress and quality of the construction. There will definitely be no problems."
"very good!"
Gong Ruxin nodded with satisfaction.
As a 10-billion-dollar group, Huamao Group now has no problem whether or not Gong Ruxin, the chairman of the board, should keep an eye on it. As long as the general direction is under control, it's urgent.
Therefore, the group's affairs depend on Gong Ruxin. It seems that it is not very important anymore. What is really important is to help Master Yichen build Xishan Temple.
On the way down the mountain,
Lin Chen and Gong Ruxin walked side by side. Gong Ruxin said:"Master Yichen, the Governor called me yesterday evening. , I hope I can invite you to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow afternoon"
"Can. Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and nodded in agreement without thinking too much.
It was the last governor Patten who helped to win this piece of land before.
Now that people have taken the time to see him, Lin Chen will naturally not shirk it.
It was just that he wanted to see himself at this time. It seemed that it was largely affected by the news in the United States.
With this thought in mind, after descending the mountain, Lin Chen got into the car arranged by Gong Ruxin.
All the way towards No. 7 Central We rushed to the pier and prepared to take the ferry to the Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island.
The Po Lin Monastery has been very busy recently, and the Southern Shaolin, Tai Xiangguo Temple, and White Horse Temple in China have all sent groups of monks here.
Japan, the Kingdom of Thailand, including Bangzi Monks from several temples come here from all over the country.
It can be said to be a grand event for Asian Buddhism.
……………………………………
……………………………………
In fact, Lin Chen's guess was correct.
After seeing the news from the United States, Patten realized that Master Yichen might be much more powerful than he imagined.
Then he hurriedly contacted Gong Ruxin and learned that the living Buddha had returned to Hong Kong. He immediately requested to meet tomorrow.
Such urgency still stems from Patten's professionalism.
Patten took office last year and came to Xiangjiang to assume the position of the last governor.
To be honest, Patten was reluctant in his heart.
Because everyone knows that in 1997, Hong Kong Island will inevitably return to the embrace of the motherland. At this juncture, if Patten comes, no matter how well he manages Hong Kong and how outstanding his political achievements are, it will be useless.
Because this Oriental Pearl embedded in the Queen's Crown will completely leave in another five years.
It's just that everything has pros and cons, and Patten knows the cons.
The benefits are also obvious, which is to deepen one's reputation and status in the world.
Originally, when he was in his ancestral home in England,
Patten had already entered the cabinet and served as the Minister of Environment.
However, during his tenure, he was placed in charge by political opponents and implemented the widely criticized poll tax.
This also led to Patten's reputation in the country being very bad. , and then in 1990, the new Prime Minister succeeded Mrs. Thatcher, and Patten had a very good personal relationship with the new Prime Minister.
Therefore, after the other party took office, he immediately appointed Patten as President of the Duchy of Lancaster. , and leader of the Conservative Party.
Under Patten's planning, the Conservative Party was able to unexpectedly win the 1992 general election, but ironically, he was defeated by the Liberal Democratic Party candidate and lost the seat in the House of Commons in the Bath constituency, thus quitting the House of Commons..
After losing his seat in the House of Commons, Patten could be said to have lost his wife and lost his army.
Finally, under the arrangement of his good friend the Prime Minister, Patten recommended himself as the last governor-general and took the initiative to bring his wife and daughter to this small town in the Pearl of the Orient. island.
But again, the name of the last governor is not pleasant to hear.
Moreover, the recent poor security situation in Hong Kong has put Patten under pressure from his family. (If you want to read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
In Hong Kong, Patten was often criticized and reviled by newspapers, saying that he was harsh in governance, and that he had not inherited the advantages of the previous governor at all. He has been in Hong Kong Island for more than a year. Didn't do any shit.
In order to restore his reputation in Xiangjiang and at the same time attract attention from his ancestral family,
Patten thought of using the name of Lin Chen, a living Buddha, to stage a big show.
As mentioned earlier, after the Murdoch Group started in Australia, its first stop was in England.
Today, almost more than half of the news media in Britain are firmly controlled by the Murdoch group.
Patten wanted to use Elizabeth's relationship with Lin Chen to influence the Murdoch Group in England, so that he could have a better reputation in the British newspapers and media.
Secondly, Lin Chen's influence in Xiangjiang is also obvious, so in Patten's view, inviting Master Yichen to his home is simply a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
Not only can the media from the British side of his ancestral home speak to him, but he can also stop the media from Xiangjiang from scolding him.
The only pity is that Patten is a Catholic, otherwise he would have converted directly to the living Buddha like Elizabeth Murdoch, which would have brought him more fame and benefits.
Governor's Palace
"Daddy!"
Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and three brown-haired girls walked in.
"Hi! Girls, why are you here?"
Seeing his three favorite daughters appear, Patten changed his anxious mood and looked at them with a smile.
The eldest daughter Peng Lisi's big eyes twinkled:"Daddy, you really made an appointment for the Living Buddha to come home tomorrow. Are you a guest inside?"
After coming to Xiangjiang last year, Patten, like all previous governors, gave himself a Chinese name, Patten.
And his wife also took the name Lin Yingtong.
Since the couple both took Chinese names, the three The daughters are no exception.
The eldest daughter Peng Lisi was born in 1973, the second daughter Peng Jiesi was born in 1974, and the youngest daughter Peng Yasi was born in 1979.
Because each daughter’s name contains the word"si", she is also known as"Si". Xiangjiang media called it"The governor’s daughter thinks twice!""
These three have always been very well-known in Xiangjiang.
At the beginning of the year, they publicly attended the Governor's dinner party. With their superb appearance, they immediately attracted the attention of the media.
Now their three daughters are studying at Xiangjiang English School. In addition to learning English, they also learn Chinese.
After more than a year, and under the influence of the Chinese environment, the three daughters can now speak relatively fluent Chinese.[]
Patten smiled:"That's right, I have already talked to someoneMaster has made an appointment to visit our house tomorrow afternoon"
"Very good! Finally I can meet Master Yichen."
The second daughter Peng Jiesi's eyes lit up. She is the one among the three sisters who is most eager to see Master Yichen.
Peng Jiesi has a good best friend. She is from Xiangjiang and she likes to make some fascinating things.
Under the influence, Peng Jiesi also began to like these fascinating things.......
Especially when it comes to beating villains, Peng Jiesi loves it so much. When she gets upset, she grabs her slippers and the hidden villain and runs to the toilet to beat them.
It's just that she behaved very well at home and was never discovered by her parents and older sisters.
Ever since Lin Chen came to Xiangjiang a few months ago and became famous thanks to the Buddha's light from heaven, Peng Jiesi had been paying attention to him.
Then this living Buddha helped the billionaire's widow find the murderer, and various rumors and stories immediately popped up in Xiangjiang.
What is the method of exorcising evil spirits for the crew, what kind of living Buddha comes to suppress the demons and ghosts...
Anyway, there are various rumors in the market, which are called evil.
Peng Jiesi was particularly obsessed with this aspect, so naturally she wanted to see Master Yichen immediately.
Seeing the happy faces of his three daughters, Patten deliberately said with disappointment:"It turns out that you three didn't come here to see daddy. It seems that I am happy for nothing.""
"Daddy, of course we are here to see you, look here are the cookies we prepared for you!"
The eldest daughter Peng Lisi pushed her younger sister Peng Yasi and said,"Yasi, hurry up and bring the biscuits to Daddy.""
Peng Yasi, the youngest daughter, held the cookie box and came to her father with a smile, and put the cookie box in her hand on the desk:
"Daddy, remember to finish eating this. My sisters and I made this by ourselves."
"Okay, daddy must finish them all."
Patten smiled happily. It seems that his daughters still care about him.
"Then daddy, let’s go back first and won’t disturb your work."
"Well, go for it. Slow down on the way back."
After a moment, after seeing his eldest daughter Peng Lisi leaving with her two younger sisters,
Patten looked at the cookie box on the table, took it over with a smile, opened the lid, and was immediately stunned.
"Haha, these girls……"
Patten couldn't help but took out a piece of biscuit, tore open the outer packaging bag, stuffed it into his mouth and ate it. While eating, he nodded and said:"It tastes pretty good.""

Lantau Island.
Po Lin Monastery.
In the large Zen room in the backyard.
The wise monk received the monks from various temples with a cheerful face.
In a few days, it will be the important day for the consecration ceremony of the Tian Tan Temple and the Tian Tan Buddha.
Now everything is ready and the guests are almost here.
He, the host of Baolian Temple and the initiator of this consecration ceremony, was naturally grinning from ear to ear.
This consecration ceremony will definitely be recorded in the history of Xiangjiang Buddhism, and the name of his wise monk will also be recorded in history.
Thousands of years later, he may not be able to become a historical monk
"Master Yichen is here!"
"The Living Buddha is here!"
"……"
Suddenly, someone yelled.
Everyone in the room immediately looked towards the door.
Seeing this scene, the wise monk was stunned for a few seconds, then smashed his mouth and shook his head helplessly.
Being in the same era as Master Yichen is really quite sad.
