When Long Zaidong heard this, he nodded: "That's fine, I don't have time recently. I'll inform Xu Fan right away."
Long Zhiping ordered: "Tell Xu Fan that Long Jianming is your uncle. We sent Long Jianming because you couldn't go. I want him to receive you well. I want to put pressure on Xu Fan and Master Huiming to figure things out."
Long Zaidong promised: "I will make arrangements."
Not long ago, Long Jianming came to Meishan, and he was accompanied by his secretary Xiao Huang. Xu Fan had already received instructions from Long Zaidong, so Xu Fan did not dare to hesitate at all when Long Jianming arrived and went to the capital to greet him in person.
Long Jianming and his secretary came out of the VIP passage, and Xu Fan greeted them: "Director Long, welcome to Meishan to guide the work, I am Xu Fan." Long Jianming is in his fifties, tall and tall, with piercing eyes. At first glance, he looks like a
A shrewd person.
Long Jianming said: "Secretary Xu, I heard that Zaidong mentioned you as a capable person." Long Jianming's voice was loud and his attitude was easy-going.
Xu Fan hurriedly said: "Director Long and Young Master Long deserved the prize. It was Young Master Long who managed things well. I was just running errands."
When Long Jianming heard this, he realized that this boy was a very knowledgeable person, and his impression of Xu Fan increased a bit: "Secretary Xu is so humble. I still need you as a parent to take care of me in Meishan, haha."
Xu Fan said: "Director Long, please don't say that, and don't call me secretary. I am a junior and I should do whatever I do. You can call me Xu Fan or Xiao Xu."
Long Jianming said: "I like your temper towards me, not being pretentious and saying whatever you want. Okay, I'll call you Xiao Xu. I heard that you and Zaidong are brothers. They are both my nephews and we are from the same family."
People, this is called a kissing spot."
Xu Fan nodded in agreement.
After getting into the car, Xu Fan respectfully asked: "Director Long, you have come a long way, please rest first before working."
Long Jianming said: "No, the chief is still waiting for my report. It is better to go up the mountain first to understand the situation clearly so that I can report to the chief. Don't worry, I won't leave. I will stay in Meishan for a while. If there is any trouble,
When you are little Xu, don't bother me then." Unexpectedly, Long Jianming's words became a verse and came true.
Xu Fan said: "Looking at what you said, we can't even invite a leader like you. Besides, the National Development and Reform Commission has so much power of life and death over us. I will burn incense when you stop bothering me."
Long Jianming laughed and then said seriously: "The leader told me before I came here that after I report, I will stay here and wait for the leader's instructions."
After Xu Fan heard this, he knew that the Long family valued this matter, and he also understood that he needed to be extra dedicated to assist Long Jianming in completing this matter in order to ensure that the giant Buddha could be consecrated smoothly.
Hurrying slowly, Long Jianming and Xu Fan arrived at Longtou Mountain at about five o'clock in the afternoon. When Xu Fan introduced Long Jianming to Master Huiming, Master Huiming's eyes flashed, and he excitedly let Long Jianming and Xu Fan into the meditation room.
rest.
Master Huiming said: "May I ask what the relationship between the donor and the Long family is...?"
Long Jianming said: "I am Long Zaidong's cousin."
Master Huiming said: "Amitabha, it is so good that the arrival of the dragon donor will definitely bring about complete merits."
Long Jianming laughed and thought to himself that this task seems to be easy. Master Huiming is also very cooperative. It is not as suspenseful as the leader said. Is the information wrong? So he said: "Master Huiming said this
, I feel relieved, it seems that I can go back to work soon, haha. Then Master, please take me to worship the Big Buddha."
Master Huiming saluted and said: "Donor, don't be impatient. The Big Buddha has been closed for construction work. It's getting late today. It's better to rest in the temple for a day. I will arrange to worship the Big Buddha tomorrow morning."
Xu Fan didn't expect that Master Huiming would refuse. This was against the rules. It was sooner or later to see the Buddha? He was afraid that Long Jianming would be angry, so he said: "Master..."
As soon as Xu Fan finished speaking, Master Huiming interrupted him: "Donor, I will not delay Donor Long's mission. Please don't persuade me."
Seeing Master Huiming's determination, Xu Fan and Long Jianming couldn't say anything more. Master Huiming turned around to arrange food and accommodation, but Xu Fan felt it was inappropriate. He stopped Master Huiming and said: "Master, don't make trouble. Director Long and I should go back to town."
Come and stay, the new tourist hotel has been repaired and the conditions will be better. Can we come up again tomorrow morning?" Xu Fan asked Long Jianming for his opinion.
Before Long Jianming had time to answer, Master Huiming said: "Okay, I'd like to prepare for tomorrow's worship, but can I ask the donor to bring only two guests up tomorrow? There will be too many people talking, which will disturb my conversation with Donor Long.
I have a fate with Donor Long, and I hope to have a detailed discussion with Donor Long.”
When Long Jianming heard this, he was overjoyed and said decisively: "Okay, everything will be arranged by Master. I will go to the appointment on time tomorrow." Long Jianming thought that as long as Master Huiming is willing to speak, he will have a way to know the cause and effect of the opportunity, and this trip to Meishan will be a blessing.
Complete.
Seeing that Long Jianming agreed to Master Huiming's arrangement, Xu Fan said goodbye to Master Huiming and went to live in Qinglong Town.
In the evening, Master Huiming told the craftsman who put the gold foil on the Giant Buddha that he had to go out for the next two days for something. The construction of the Giant Buddha was suspended, and he asked the craftsmen to go down the mountain overnight and come back in three days. Because Master Huiming did everything for the Giant Buddha himself, he could not be careless.
The master had something to do, so the project naturally had to be stopped, so the craftsmen went down the mountain and went home overnight.
The next morning, Xu Fan drove himself and took Long Jianming and Xiao Huang to Longtou Mountain on time. Master Huiming had already greeted them at the mountain gate.
Master Huiming stepped forward and saluted: "Donor Long has worked hard all the way. I have made arrangements. Please go with me."
Longtou Mountain seemed to be very quiet today. Except for a few monks, no pilgrims were seen. Xu Fan thought to himself: What kind of medicine is Master Huiming selling in the gourd? But it is good to arrange it this way so that no one will disturb him and it will be easier to do things.
Entering the temple, Master Huiming personally lit the incense wax and handed it to three people respectively: "Please give incense and make a wish to the donor."
Xu Fan even murmured in his heart. Master Huiming had not asked him to offer incense before worshiping the Buddha so many times. What happened today? Fortunately, there were no other people. Otherwise, he didn't know what to do. Maybe the master knew them.
Because of his special status, he didn't let other pilgrims in. He couldn't think about it anymore, and Long Jianming was already offering incense and making wishes with Master Huiming.
Long Jianming, on the other hand, followed what he said. He was a straightforward person who only wanted the results and did not care about the process. He wanted to know what Master Huiming was going to say to him, so he would do what he said first, so he took the lead.
After the incense was burned, the three were taken to the Big Buddha. Due to the gold foil, the Big Buddha had been sealed and completely covered with colorful strips of cloth. The three walked into the construction site. Master Huiming introduced the progress of the project and ensured that the Big Buddha would be consecrated.
Date. Because Xu Fan was only accompanying him, and the main thing was to let Long Jianming know, so Xu Fan walked last.
Although it has not yet been completed, the Giant Buddha already looks extremely majestic! Long Jianming was so excited that he looked at it for a while, and his neck was sore. Because the Giant Buddha is very high, it is difficult to see clearly from the ground up.
After seeing the whole picture, Long Jianming said to Master Huiming and Xu Fan: "Can I go up and take a look?"
Xu Fan hurriedly stopped: "The scaffolding above has no protective measures and is more dangerous. It's better not to go up there."
Long Jianming smiled and said: "Haha, don't worry about this, I just have to be careful. Oh, by the way, master, you don't have to go up with us because you are old. We will come down after taking a look." With that, he and Xiao Huangxiang walked up.
Walk through the passage.
Master Huiming put his palms together and said, "Amitabha, please be more careful."
Just as Xu Fan was about to follow up, the phone rang. He took it out and looked at it and said to Long Jianming: "Director Long, this is Zaidong's number."
Long Jianming said: "Well, you can take it, let's go up first."
Xu Fan nodded and walked outside to answer the phone.
The upward passage has a spiral structure, and you can reach each platform. The Buddha is seven stories high, with a platform extending every three meters above it, so it is not difficult to go up.
Long Jianming and Xiao Huang walked to the sixth platform in one breath. This position has reached the shoulders of the Big Buddha. Looking from top to bottom, Long Jianming felt the magnificence of the Big Buddha. Xiao Huang, being a young man, was naturally even more excited. He
I saw a piece of gold foil affixed not far away that was not firmly attached, as if a corner had been blown up by the wind, so I stepped to the edge of the platform and stretched out my hand to press it and reattach it, but I just couldn't reach it, so
He boldly stood on tiptoes, held an iron pipe with his left hand, and stretched it out.
When Long Jianming saw the danger, he came over to hold Xiao Huang and said: "Xiao Huang, be careful."
Xiao Huang smiled and said: "It's okay." As soon as he finished speaking, his feet slipped and he fell down. Long Jianming was caught off guard and was pulled down by Xiao Huang's weight. The two of them fell directly without any protective measures.
Fell to the ground!
Master Huiming shouted and rushed over. He helped the two of them to check their injuries. He couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. He saw that both of them were bleeding from their orifices and had no breathing! Master Huiming put the two of them down, clasped his hands together and kept chanting sutras, with an expression on his face.
Solemn.
Besides, Xu Fan went outside to answer the phone and gave a detailed report on the situation after Long Jianming's arrival. As soon as he hung up the phone, he heard two exclamations coming from inside, followed by a huge "porphyr!"
Twice, he suddenly shouted: "No," and quickly ran inside.
When he saw the situation of the two people clearly, he couldn't help being shocked! He ran over and reached out to touch their necks, but there was no pulse! He knelt down slumped on his knees and asked Master Huiming, who was still chanting sutras, "Master, what on earth is going on?"
What’s going on? How could they,,,?”
Master Huiming said: "Amitabha, I can't see clearly from below. Maybe the top is too slippery and they lost their footing before they could stand firmly, causing them to fall."
Xu Fan felt sad and regretful in his heart. He said in a nagging tone: "I shouldn't have allowed them to go up. What should I do now?"
