Chapter 104: Little brother, go back a little bit
Once upon a time, Zhang Nan felt that he was already shameless. At least in some things, Zhang Nan could be said to be doing everything he could. But today Zhang Nan saw this foreign monk, and only then did Zhang Nan know that there were people outside the people and mountains outside the mountains.
This is the first time Zhang Nan has seen someone who wants to ask others to give something.
"Master, who gave you the courage? Liang Jingru?" Zhang Nan asked with a dark face.
When he heard Zhang Nan say this, Soraji was also stunned.
"This, I have never seen the donor Liang mentioned by Duke An Guo, so how could I give him courage? But this white elephant is the incarnation of the Buddha. Duke An Guo sells the incarnation of the Buddha in this way, which will increase karma." Kong Jian also said with great thought.
"Karma? Sorry, I don't believe this. I don't know that Master, you just believe that this white elephant is the incarnation of Buddha?" Zhang Nan asked with a strange look on his face.
Zhang Nan really cannot associate an animal with a religion. The Turks just wanted to shoot glass wolves, but the Turks also used wolves as their totems, but Zhang Nan had never heard of Buddhism having a special liking for any animal.
At least in "Journey to the West", Zhang Nan saw that there were no less than ten animals related to Buddhism. If every animal with albinism was regarded as the incarnation of the Buddha, then wouldn't it be a mess?
After hearing this, Sora nodded.
"Duke Anguo is not a Buddhist, so he naturally doesn't know the reason." Kong Jian said.
"I would like to hear the details." Zhang Nan actually likes to listen to stories very much.
"In "Mahasatana", the six-tooth white elephant represents the Bodhisattva's six supernatural powers. The elephant has great power, indicating that the Dharma body can bear it; there are no worries and contaminations, so it is white. It may be said that the six-tooth white elephant represents the six perfections, and the four-footed feet represent the four wishes."
Kong Jian said a lot of words, but Zhang Nan didn't hear any nobleness. In fact, what Zhang Nan didn't know was that the white elephant represents a noble caste in Buddhism, just like the Buddha Shakyamuni.
Among animals, dragons and elephants are the most powerful on water and on land. Therefore, the two are often used in the scriptures, and "dragon and elephant" are used to describe the powerful ability or majesty of the Bodhisattva. Later generations extend it to the extraordinary power of meditation, or to praise the majestic and solemn monks and great masters as "Dharma Dragon and Elephant".
Of course, Zhang Nan did not study Buddhism, so these Zhang Nan were unknown.
"Well, even if you say that, I can't give you this white elephant for free. After all, this thing belongs to me now. If you want it, just buy it with money." Zhang Nan shrugged.
Then the hammer was dropped like a judge had a trial.
When Kong Jian heard this, he was so angry that he was trembling all over. He never thought that there would be someone as stubborn as Zhang Nan.
"Wouldn't you be afraid of going to Avici Hell after death by Duke Anguo selling Buddhist holy beasts like this?" Koji said with a dark face.
"Avici Hell? No, no, believe me, five good young people like me who love each other, flowers bloom when they bloom, and the workshop car explodes. After death, they will definitely go to your Pure Land. You won't have to worry about this. Okay, prepare for it. If you don't have money, please give me a little brother, don't block other people's bidding, otherwise I will not be able to see clearly and add more."
When Mitsumi wanted to say something, Cheng Yaojin, who was not interested in watching the fun, shouted: "Fifty thousand coins!"
"Okay! Someone has bid 50,000 yuan! Is there anything higher?! Is there any?" Zhang Nan said, looking like he was about to fall into a hammer.
"Sixty thousand coins! Zhijie, I don't plan to give this thing to you. I will raise it and ride it to the battlefield. Who else can do anything to me?" The person who spoke was Yuchi Gong.
Originally, Zhang Nan wanted to thank Yuchi Gong with his eyes, but when he saw Yuchi Gong's radiant eyes, Zhang Nan felt that Yuchi Gong was not joking with him. Instead, he really wanted to treat himself as an elephant soldier.
"Heizi, I haven't thought about it yet. I originally wanted to shout and play, but I still have to buy it after you say that." After that, Cheng Yaojin shouted out 70,000 guan.
"You..." Kong Jian looked at the two people singing together, and was so angry that his teeth were itchy, but there was no way. Who made this Bai Xiang belong to Zhang Nan?
"I will buy it back and raise it. Then I will find an elephant to breed it and give it a bunch of small white elephants, one nest after another. It won't take long for me to form an elephant soldier." Cheng Yaojin also smiled.
When he heard Cheng Yaojin say this, Muji could no longer bear it.
"Enough!"
If holding a white elephant in a cage and selling it is to stir up the fire of Kongjian, Cheng Yaojin said that he wanted to breed the elephant, then it would be lit up Kongjian.
When everyone heard the bald monk's roar, they were stunned. Even Zhang Nan, who was standing on the stage and preparing to jump for another move, was stunned. How could this monk be so popular?
Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, Kotomi's hands immediately closed.
"Amitabha, I have violated the precept of anger. It really shouldn't be, it really shouldn't be."
"Since Duke An Guo insists on selling it, I will pay 100,000 yuan!" When Kongjian shouted this, his heart was bleeding. This was the incense money for their temple for several years. However, as a loyal Buddhist, Kongjian felt that the money was necessary to be spent.
"Oh, this bald donkey is so rich." Cheng Yaojin said silently in his heart. After all, monks are not merchants. If the money comes from the right path, it is not easy to have 100,000 guan.
Zhang Nan was also a little stunned when he heard Kong Jian’s offer. Why did this monk start participating in the auction?
However, since Kong Jian had the current highest price, Zhang Nan naturally could not ignore it, so he said, "Okay! The master has a price of 100,000 yuan. Is there any higher price? Is there any?"
Before Zhang Nan finished speaking, he heard a "150,000 guan" in some corner, which raised the price by 50,000 guan.
Hearing that someone had suppressed his price, he saw that his clenched fists were about to bleed.
"Twenty-hundred thousand coins." At this time, Koji was already a little crazy. There was only the white elephant in his eyes. He probably estimated how much money he had in his temple. Koji also shouted a price that he couldn't believe.
When he heard that Kongjian had 200,000 yuan, no one continued to yell the price from this monk. Zhang Nan had reason to believe that this group of people who were yelling, except for the "child caregivers" they found, the rest of them were just having fun. However, Kongjian took it seriously, so he also yelled a sky-high price of 200,000 yuan.
In Zhang Nan's opinion, this white elephant is just an elephant with albinism and is not valuable at all, so Zhang Nan was afraid of remorse and quickly dropped a hammer to announce the ownership of the white elephant.
